Of course, it was impossible for Xuan Weizi to come to a high-end hotel like "Twilight Fairy" without doing any homework. Before that, Xuan Weizi had learned from various channels that "Twilight Fairy" belonged to the Farai family of the empire.
industry.
The origins of the nobility of the Great Londinium Empire were complex. They included military nobles since the establishment of the empire, as well as large and small countries that had voluntarily surrendered during the development of the empire. They basically retained their original titles and fiefs.
The emperors of the empire had different approaches to the nobility. Sometimes they were highly authoritarian and used various means to deprive territories of fiefs and limit the number of troops. Sometimes in order to ease conflicts, they invited nobles to join the Senate. There were also outbreaks of noble lords in history.
of rebellion.
In this era, except for military nobles located in key frontier areas, they face a large number of foreign invasions and plunders all day long, and have the power to independently form armies and control taxation. Most of the nobles located in the hinterland under the direct jurisdiction of the empire have given up their fiefdoms.
Territory has become more like an industrialist who controls farms and pastures, and wealth is often concentrated in cities for various commercial activities.
Especially the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, which is basically backed by the investment and shares of the empire's local nobles. These nobles may not personally participate in colonial development, but they have plenty of money for adventurers and navigators to bring back boxes of rare treasures from the other side of the ocean.
The Farai family has invested heavily in colonial development, and they also have a professional fleet. However, the family's main business is dedicated to operating various high-end hotels, including brothels and clubs. The Farai family not only operates in New Camelot City
After opening the high-end hotel "Twilight Fairy", there are rows of coastal villas in Sail Leaf Province, and even Fire Dance City also has their properties.
This kind of method, which is similar to hedging your bets, cannot be done easily without considerable background, which makes Xuan Weizi very interested in the Farai family.
After some investigation, we learned that in the early days of the establishment of the empire, this family raised military expenses and armor for the founding emperor. There are even legends that the ancestors of this family were not human beings, but tree spirits who were friends with the founding emperor.
The talk after dinner in the aristocratic circle may be a different situation for mages. Compared with other nobles, they are keen to send their children to magic academies, or to train a mage for their own family, or to have a relationship with a mage.
As allies, the Farai family is one of the very few nobles in the empire who can independently train mages without relying on the magic academy.
They are said to be mages, but the people trained by the Farai family are actually warlocks, or warlocks who work part-time as wizards.
Xuan Weizi learned these secrets from Archmage Qi Darok. The Farai family does not act in a high-profile manner. They can maintain a certain degree of friendship with the Eye of Mystery and the Tower of Pentagram, and they also occupy a position in the Imperial Senate.
A position is a typical example of having both sides.
And only people like Archmage Zidarok who have witnessed hundreds of years of history will know that there is a legendary warlock in the Farai family.
Although in front of him, Pa Lina looked submissive and submissive, but in Xuan Weizi's perception, the vitality of this cheongsam lady was unusually powerful. Among the characters he had seen in the past, except for the Sky Singer,
Among the existences like mountains and rivers, Palina is the most powerful, and even the Prince of Earth is slightly lower.
Even if you are a legendary level spell caster, your vitality may not be very strong. On the contrary, Xuan Weizi himself practiced alchemy. After shedding his mortal body, his physique became extraordinary and he became a saint, and his vitality was condensed. But unless he did it deliberately, the fluctuation of his life would not be
Especially strong.
And Palina gave Xuan Weizi a familiar feeling, that is, she had also experienced a rebirth, and her life had undergone unprecedented transformation and sublimation. The magical effects related to her body and mind and bloodline talents were deeply integrated, and she could continuously seduce the world.
It uses the power to strengthen and transform the body and mind, and can cast spells more flexibly than a mage.
Hearing Xuan Weizi's blatant and explicit words, Parina blinked her thick eyelashes and secretly glanced at her. Her body was obviously standing still, but it exuded a twisting rhythm, as if a heart-wrenching battle was about to happen at the next moment.
"If the Duke really has a need, I can indeed serve you, but I am very curious, is the person standing in front of me at this moment really the 'Duke of the Heart' himself?" Palina asked softly.
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "What? Does this kind of service require personal presence?"
"My girls must have been hypnotized by the Duke's psychic powers, right? I know very well what they have gone through~" Parina approached with a smile, and raised her hand to gently touch Xuan Weizi's shoulder.
"This is really bad. If the news gets out, wouldn't everyone know that I, Olanso, am an incompetent man who relies on psychic powers to get hard?" Xuan Weizi said, referring to Pali.
The prophecy spell that Na secretly cast was broken.
"Your Majesty the Duke is really a foreigner. If you need my services, shouldn't you be honest with me?" Parina hugged Xuan Weizi's arms, and a pair of warm and plump ones pressed against them.
Xuan Weizi was not in the mood to continue playing riddles, and said bluntly: "Tell me, what is the matter with the legendary warlock of the Farai family coming to visit me personally? If you want me to leave the 'Twilight Fairy', you don't have to make such twists and turns.
.”
"How can I drive the Duke out of the Twilight Fairy? I hope you stay here for a while!" Palina smiled charmingly.
"Is the Farai family's style of maintaining friendship with all parties hoping to mediate the dispute between the Mutual Protection Alliance and the empire?" Xuan Weizi simply expressed his thoughts.
"How can a mere nobleman interfere in such a big matter?" Palina said.
"Really? There are rumors that the Farai family is the descendant of the founding emperor and the tree spirit. Due to the contract between the emperor and the tree spirit, they still retain the right to claim the throne of the emperor." Xuan Weizi suddenly said: "I understand.
Well, the answer lies in the riddle. It turns out that it is not an ordinary tree spirit, but the legendary Supreme Fairy. The founding emperor received the blessing of the Supreme Fairy and left such a fairy bloodline in the Farai family. If I hadn’t guessed
Wrong, the scene created by illusion in the hotel lobby should be the hometown of the Supreme Fairy, right?"
Palina's eyes flashed with a strange and bright light, and she stuck to Xuan Weizi's side like glue, as if she wanted to rub him into her body.
"The Duke is so powerful, I can't hide any secrets."
Xuan Weizi turned to look at Palina and asked with a cold expression: "As expected of a legendary warlock with fairy blood, the charm spells have become stronger and stronger since just now, but are you sure you really want to play in front of the psychic warlock?"
Mind?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Weizi's eyes flashed with silver light, and under the profound and exquisite control of the diffused "overfrequency blast", all the power was concentrated on Palina alone, like the terrifying scream of the "Banshee's Wail",
There were even glass-like cracks in the air.
Palina's face was startled, and she jumped back with a jumping ability that was comparable to that of a high-level warrior. At the same time, a colorful rain of flowers burst out, and the strong hallucination effect turned into a terrifying scene, and was forced into her consciousness along with the five senses.
Even a high-ranking mage, if caught off guard like this, would probably be shaken to his core and fall to the ground twitching involuntarily.
"This is...'Phantom Killer'? But it's been amplified to a very high energy level." Xuan Weizi stood on the spot, holding the Shadow Mirror in hand, spotless.
At this moment, she saw Parina using the "Spider Walking Technique" to jump onto the wall. The aqua cheongsam turned into a thin gauze dress that fit her graceful figure and looked like a naked body. She didn't know where to pull out a strip dotted with colorful flower buds.
The wisteria whip is long, and the beautiful and charming face reveals a bit of wild beauty.
"What? Why don't you continue to attack?" Xuan Weizi waved his hand and used his astral body to temporarily create a long whip. Like a giant snake swallowing a letter, the fire on the long whip burned brightly: "This is the first time I have seen someone using a long whip.
Master, why don't you come and compete with me? I know a thing or two about whipping."
Palina stared at Xuan Weizi and asked: "The spell you just made... why did you withdraw it suddenly?"
"I always pity women who take the initiative to sacrifice themselves." Xuan Weizi said with a smile. The "overfrequency blast" he had just used had not fully taken effect before it was dispelled by himself.
"Do you think such flattery is useful?" Parina's attitude seemed to have changed at this moment, her expression and tone were a bit more ruthless, or perhaps this was her true face.
"If you have something to say, you should say it properly as soon as you come up, instead of showing off your beauty to tease me." Xuan Weizi said bluntly: "I gave you enough opportunities, but you kept casting spells to test me. My patience is also limited.
.But I saw that you didn’t have any obvious hostility, so I let you go. If you want to continue fighting, I don’t mind.”
Nowadays, Xuan Weizi's incarnation is able to use his psychic powers to the point where he can basically send and receive them from his heart. His control is so fine that even psychic powers that have an immediate effect can be stopped instantly.
Palina's eyes were full of scrutiny, and Xuan Weizi said: "I don't know what attitude you have here, but there are some things you might as well say. You clearly know that I am just a simulated clone in front of you.
There is no benefit in wasting your energy on me."
"Where is your true body?" Palina asked, still alert.
"Who knows? Maybe he's still in Evergreen City, or maybe he's hiding in the streets of New Camelot City."
Through detection, the information flow will eventually lead to this incarnation, rather than quietly going to the original form of "Endless Revenge Storm".
Palina asked again: "What is your purpose in coming to New Camelot City?"
"Are you interrogating me?" Xuan Weizi could only reply: "I was originally invited to meet with the head of the scholastic academy. They are not satisfied with my reputation as a saint on earth, and I feel very dissatisfied with it.
Comfortable."
"Have you formed an alliance with the scholastic school?"
"Form an alliance? It's not like making friends and talking about future cooperation prospects. It's possible."
Well!"
"Now that you've finished talking, what are you doing at Twilight Fairy?" Palina kept asking.
"This is a hotel. When you open the door to welcome guests, do you still ask them what they are doing?"
? I even gave extra tips to dozens of prostitutes for their services!"
Palina cracked her whip, and the magic light flashed, turning into several strange and ferocious tree-shaped beasts, as well as several slender fairies with shining wings, whirling and dancing with a few wisps of light and dust. If you have good eyesight,
Well, you can still see these little goblins holding bows and arrows in their hands. Although they are all ultra-small in size, they all have the aura of magical weapons.
"That's not what I'm asking!" Palina, who looked like a fairy queen, had blue fire in her eyes.
"Then what do you want to ask? Please make it clear!" Xuan Weizi said with a smile.
"You should understand your relationship with the Eye of Mystery, right?" Palina said, "Are you going to use New Camelot City as a battlefield?"
"I am not the one who regards New Camelot as a battlefield." Xuan Weizi replied: "Ever since the church scribes came to the New World, disputes have developed in an uncontrollable direction. Before that, the interests of all parties were contradictory.
It has been accumulating for a long time, but no one has thought about taking the lead in making changes or mediation. Or do you think that the Farai family can continue to live a peaceful life by relying on multiple bets and having both sides as they did in the past? "
Palina frowned and said, "It's not your turn to judge what the Farai family does!"
Xuan Weizi shook his head and said: "The ship of the empire is about to sink. The rats are starting to pack up their luggage and move away, first Doragon, then the Pentagram Tower, and then the Church and the Eye of Mystery. The Farai family
Are you planning to be buried with the empire?"
Palina sneered: "Although you are a legendary psychic, are these words too arrogant?"
"No one can stop this battle in New Camelot City. Even if I don't come, it is destined to break out." Xuan Weizi said bluntly: "And the empire is the party that has suffered the most losses in this war.
Whoever wins, the empire will lose large tracts of colonies and sources of finance and taxation."
"Do you think the empire will just stand by and watch?" Palina asked.
"Empire? Which empire?" Xuan Weizi asked: "Is it a colonial empire composed of a large number of nobles turned into business guild investors? Or a war empire with mages as the main violent subjects? Or is it the one that is related by blood to your Farai family?
Royal Empire? What do you think the problem is?"
Palina's expression was stunned, and Xuan Weizi continued: "If you think that driving me away will alleviate the crisis in New Camelot City, then just say so. I will leave immediately, New Camelot City
It’s so big, where can’t we stay?”
"Then what exactly do you want to do in New Camelot City? Force the Eye of Arcana to withdraw from the New World completely?" Palina asked.
"I don't have that big ambition, and I have to consider practicality when doing things. The Mutual Protection Alliance cannot swallow up the entire New World."
Xuan Weizi did not have this idea. He did not think that the Eye of Mystery would completely lose its interests and power in the New World because of a war. He had been prepared for a long-term struggle with the Eye of Mystery from the beginning. However, an excessive
The powerful Eye of Mystery is not what Xuan Weizi likes to see. Since cooperation with the church can weaken the Eye of Mystery, Xuan Weizi doesn't mind.
