Chapter 133 [The magic apprentice accepted by Du Wei]
Facing Du Wei's alert eyes, Prince Chen smiled mysteriously.
After a while, neither of them spoke, but the carriage had already driven onto a fork in the road, and then went farther and farther on this small road.
Along with the neat rows of green trees erected on both sides of the road, these trees have obviously been carefully pruned by gardeners. And the ground is actually paved with bluestone, which seems to have cost a lot of money.
"Look, ahead."
Following the direction of Prince Chen's finger, Du Wei saw a quiet manor building just ahead, under a low mountain peak. Judging from the architectural style, it had a slight hint of the northern architectural style of Roland Continent. The surrounding
There is a faint high wall of dark bluestone with an iron fence on it.
The main building of the manor looks like a private manor of a nobleman. The whole building is made of tall and strong bluestone, which looks a bit rough from the outside. However, the walls are covered with ivy vines.
To neutralize the roughness, it gives off a touch of femininity. This is a three-story mansion. In terms of size, it is probably not much smaller than the Luo Lin family's ancestral castle in Luo Lin Plain.
Downstairs at the main entrance of the house is a flower garden. It is the end of summer. The flower garden is blooming with Bavarian roses carefully cultivated by the gardener. The beautiful roses are blooming under the sunset, making this mansion that originally seemed a bit gloomy appear...
There was a hint of warmth.
The overall layout is just right, and it can arouse people's inner curiosity. Du Wei vaguely guessed something, and he seemed to have heard that there are some such places around the imperial capital...
Sure enough, the carriage drove under the house, and immediately a group of well-dressed waiters strode up. Du Wei was slightly surprised that all of these waiters were tall and tall, and although they all behaved politely.
Judging from their stature, they are all extremely powerful and tough men. Moreover, every move they make carries a strong military aura that is difficult to conceal.
A large yard opened next to the flower garden was already filled with all kinds of luxury carriages. The family emblems on those carriages were so diverse that even Du Wei, who was proficient in emblem science, was a little dazzled by it. It was so short.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw at least three emblems of extremely ancient and wealthy families, as well as five or six clan emblems. They were all top-notch families on the Roland continent.
The decorations on those carriages were more luxurious than the last, some were elegant, some were dazzling, some were extravagant... Among them, Du Wei saw a carriage, which was the only one in the entire "parking lot" and its cost was almost as much as that of Prince Chen.
This is the carriage.
It was a special carriage that looked larger than the surrounding carriages. The body of the carriage was actually painted with flowing gold threads! Du Wei knew that this was an extremely expensive alchemy method that used a large amount of gold at high temperatures.
Melt it into a liquid state, and then add a special dissolving liquid to fuse it. Finally, it becomes a semi-solidified state, and then use this thing to replace paint as a stucco! Because the color looks like a golden river, it is called flowing gold.
.
The lanterns on the carriage are actually made of polished crystal, and inside are a kind of top-grade fire diamond that is extremely rare in the Roland continent (a kind of gemstone that can shine by itself. It is also a good fire magic material).
Act as a wick!
Luxury! Not an ordinary luxury!
Du Wei sighed, but although this carriage was the most eye-catching one in the entire parking lot, it looked more like a nouveau riche. It lacked the magnanimity and elegance of a wealthy family.
Du Wei followed Prince Chen out of the carriage and could vaguely see the bright lights in the big house from a distance, as well as music and laughter.
"Your Highness Chen." A man who looked like the leader of a waiter bowed deeply to Prince Chen, and then cautiously followed the two of them slowly while whispering softly: "I don't know what arrangements you are going to make tonight.
Woolen cloth?"
Chen smiled and randomly lit the lights in the hall: "It looks very lively today."
"Oh, it was the Count of Villa who held a dinner here." The waiter smiled and said: "Do you want me to announce your arrival? The Count of Villa will be very happy when His Royal Highness arrives.
of."
After receiving Chen's nod, the waiter immediately winked at one of his subordinates. Du Wei could see that the pace of these waiters' walking showed that they were all very skilled guys.
"Dear Du Wei, now do you know where this place is?" Before entering the house, Prince Chen suddenly stopped and looked at Du Wei with a smile on his face.
Du Wei nodded: "I probably understand a little bit."
"Well, this is the most famous gold-selling cave in the imperial capital. It is considered a paradise for men. It is the best gaming place for the upper class." Prince Chen sighed. Through the door of the hall, the two of them could already see inside.
The atmosphere of the banquet in the hall is strong. Busy waiters are coming and going, dragging sterling silver discs in their hands...
"There are many such places hidden around the entire imperial capital. But this is the most famous one. It is the most luxurious and expensive. It can satisfy all the requirements and desires of guests...as long as you are rich!" Prince Chen smiled lightly.
: "However, although this place is considered a playground for the upper class, it is also a place where you can see the ugly behavior of all nobles! Hmph... So, naturally, such a place cannot be set up in the imperial capital. Let's go
, my friend, come with me and take a look, I think you have never been to a place like this when you are so old."
Du Wei didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
Soon, before the two of them could walk in, the door inside had been pushed open. Accompanied by several waiters, several nobles in fine clothes strode out with elegant smiles on their faces.
Walking in the middle was an old man with silver hair. He was thin and his eyes were a little cloudy, but he smelled of alcohol mixed with a bit of woman's perfume. His face was red, and he strode towards Prince Chen.
Come on. The few nobles next to you are all middle-aged, and the youngest one looks to be in his thirties. However, the smile on his face is somewhat respectful.
"Oh, my dear little Highness is here." The old nobleman who was leading him was obviously the one with the highest status among these people. He was the only one who didn't care. He even walked over carelessly and grabbed Chen's arm.
He smiled and said, "Look, I already guessed that there will be a mysterious visitor tonight. My premonition is very accurate. It's more accurate than those useless astrologers."
"Mr. Marquis Solomon, you seem to be in a good mood today!" The smile on Prince Chen's face was also very affectionate: "It seems that Count Villa's dinner is very satisfying to you, isn't it? Let me guess, he
I must have prepared something special for you, right? What is it? Is it the 'Snake Girl' from southern Xinjiang? Or is it a princess from a declining tribe that I got from the desert? Hahahaha..."
This old fellow named Marquis Solomon had a smile on his face and didn't care at all about Prince Chen's joke. He whispered: "You guessed it right. That boy from Villa actually got two high-class 'snake girls'!"
Originally, I was worried that with my old bones, I might lose weight alone and not be able to support two snake girls at night, but luckily you are here now... Haha!"
Marquis Solomon? Du Wei was startled, and immediately thought of the meaning of this surname! Solomon is a very prominent surname on the Roland continent! This family has a long history. Even longer than the history of the Roland Empire! As far away as the capital of the Roland Empire
Before it was established, the Solomon family was already a wealthy family on the mainland. But the only weird thing is that the Solomon family is a very loose family. There is no patriarch in their family. Instead, they develop separately.
, although each clan within the clan has contacts with each other, they have never truly united.
In a sense, this family is like a dandelion in a plant, spreading its seeds far away, the more they spread... This is probably why this family can survive on the mainland for more than a thousand years and has experienced many continental turmoils.
That’s why it’s still standing.
Marquis Solomon... Du Wei searched his memory and immediately remembered that this Marquis had a big background! This old guy had served in the military when he was young... At that time, he was still related to the current emperor Augustine VI, who was still just the crown prince.
Very good. After Augustine VI came to the throne, he treated his young follower very kindly. Coupled with the background of the Solomon family, this old guy is now a typical "official businessman". He is responsible for taking care of many royal families.
industries, and also controlled some overseas trade.
It stands to reason that Du Wei, who lives a solitary life, would not know the background of these nobles, but he knew about the Solomon family because he was curious about this scattered family when he was studying badges.
.
Next to him, Prince Chen had been laughing quietly with the old Solomon for a while. It was a tacit joke between men. Then several middle-aged nobles next to him also came to greet Prince Chen, and one of them was the tallest. It was tonight's dinner.
The organizer was the Count of Villa, but Du Wei didn’t know who the count was.
Villa... Listening to this surname, it seems to be the surname of a noble from the southwest of the empire. Du Wei guessed in his heart.
At this time, everyone had focused their attention on Du Wei. After all, Du Wei was still wearing the robe of a bachelor of magic. A magician, still such a young magician, came to this ecstasy of nobles. It was really...
This is a rare thing. Moreover, seeing him and Prince Chen actually walking side by side, with a calm attitude and rigorous behavior, with a hint of family style, they don't look like Prince Chen's subordinates at all.
Moreover, a magician with an aristocratic air? These nobles are all mature and mature guys, with such vicious eyes, they immediately secretly guessed Du Wei's identity!
"Let me introduce you." Prince Chen smiled slightly, then pulled Du Wei over affectionately, as if he were a close friend, and patted Du Wei on the shoulder: "This is Du Wei Luolin
...The eldest son of Count Raymond. As you can see, this young guy is an amazing person! Look, although he is a noble, he is also an outstanding magician! The magician robe on his body
, and the badge...that's a real bachelor of magic!"
The Rollin family? The eldest son of Count Raymond?
Several people present immediately recalled the many legends about Du Wei...especially the most famous "idiot" statement from a few years ago.
But now, everyone will no longer think that Du Wei is an idiot. After all, if an idiot can become a magician, then are all the magicians in the continent idiots?
Du Wei had a smile on his face, and just as he was about to greet him, Prince Chen held him back. Then he laughed and said: "Okay, my friend, there is no need to greet you here. You know, there are nobles inside, and every one of them
I'm older than you, and you don't have a title yet. If you want to be honored, I'm afraid you won't have time to do anything else tonight. Everyone here is here to find some happiness. Those tedious things are here.
Let’s let it go for the time being in this manor.”
Surrounded by everyone, Prince Chen pulled Du Wei and strode into the banquet hall. The floor was covered with thick and soft carpets, the walls were decorated with bright crystal lamps, and the ceiling was decorated with the finest art.
Reliefs handmade by masters, and even vase decorations that you see casually, are all valuable crafts.
As Prince Chen walked into the banquet hall, there was an immediate commotion. Apparently this young His Highness was a frequent visitor here. Moreover, Du Wei discovered that as he walked into the banquet hall, the elegant prince disappeared.
, the elegant and warm smile on his face immediately turned into a "wolf smile" similar to that of a veteran in the romantic field. The ambiguous smile in his eyes was a common feature of men in this kind of place.
There were actually only twenty nobles in the entire hall, but there were at least more than a hundred women. As soon as Du Wei walked in, he felt the aroma wafting around. The smell of various expensive perfumes made Du Wei couldn't help but smack him.
A sneeze.
The normally well-dressed nobles had forgotten their appearance at this moment. Du Wei had already seen several guys hugging beautiful girls...
The entire hall has a circular design, and in this circular hall, there is a circle of small circular boxes arranged around it. However, those boxes have no doors and are purely made of fine pearls.
As soon as the curtains were hung, Du Wei took a few steps casually, and was even surprised to see that behind some bead curtains, there were already men and women with half-undressed clothes twisting together, and faintly, there was a slight gasp.
Voice……
Prince Chen no longer looked like "His Royal Highness" at all. He walked freely among the crowd naturally. He greeted some familiar friends and even casually pulled a very delicate-looking woman into a hug.
in his arms. Then he laughed loudly and said: "Dear Du Wei, my friend, why are you still alone? My God, if you are still alone here, you will be laughed at by everyone!"
Du Wei smiled bitterly.
Countless eyes around him were turning around him. After all, the magician's robe he was wearing was too eye-catching.
