119. Caldera Palace
Caldera Palace in Duke Tobias Ridge, this building rich in historical and cultural traces has accumulated hundreds of years of history.
It existed long before the Tobias family moved in, and served as the family residence of the previous Duke of Caldera. However, with the changes in the kingdom, the Caldera family was also annihilated, and the castle was entrusted to the castle.
Inherited by the Baias family. The dragon bone badge hangs at the top of the castle. All dragon hunting badges are imitated from the dragon bone badge.
Mikey was brought to the castle by Lanfrick and seemed a little uneasy.
Different from the simple castle style, the interior of the castle is magnificently decorated. Perhaps such decoration is suitable for the status of a duke. Just walking in such a corridor feels like walking on a road paved with gold treasures.
McGee was inevitably uneasy.
Seeing McGee's reaction, Lanfrick roughly understood that it was caused by the difference in status and wealth. Such reactions were considered normal for people who came to the castle for the first time.
"Don't be too formal. The Tobias family doesn't pay attention to these things. Just be natural."
For the reason of going on an adventure together, Lanfrick offered words of comfort.
With that explanation, Mikey suppressed his uneasiness a little.
"...I'm afraid I might accidentally step on this floor."
Looking at the mirror that reflected his face clearly, Mikey expressed his worries.
"This is a magic mirror. Its hardness is comparable to armor. Unless it is intentional, it cannot be damaged by natural movement."
Lanfrick explained, but what Mikey said next made him completely stunned.
"Then the lady in the skirt is exposed."
This is an issue that no one pays attention to. It is more accurate to say that even if they pay attention to this point, they will choose to ignore it. No noble will admit that they realize this point, and even if they take a peek, they will choose to pretend. They will never admit that "
A nobleman known for his elegance has committed an act that can be called "obscene". For the Tobias family, the magic mirror is just their acceptance of the goodwill of the Magic Association and the harmony between the Duke Tobias family and the Magic Association.
relation.
"..never thought about."
Lanfrick replied abruptly, but turned his head indifferently.
Judging from this reaction, McGee also knew that he had said the wrong thing. Unlike adventurers who can talk nonsense and become familiar with each other, nobles often have many taboos in their words. The method applicable to adventurers not only cannot let people
Familiarity with a relationship can lead to alienation.
A spacious and luxuriously decorated room, which is a bit more expensive than the decoration outside. The upper part of the room is illuminated by crystal magic lamps.
Mikey just sighed a little, and then his attention was attracted by the people in the room. People often judge the status and class of a person through the living environment, behavior, and dress. The three people in front of him brought a lot of attention to the situation.
My own feeling is the most intuitive shock. The unimaginable smooth clothes are carefully made into exquisite clothes, and the sitting posture also gives people a silent intimidation.
"My father, Grand Duke Tobias. This is the Marquis of Waverley, and this is the Marquis of Lemu." Lanfrick introduced them respectively.
His intention had long been conveyed through magic props, and everyone in the room understood it.
"Tell us about Joel Starla Igukuno." Fedra Lemu got straight to the point.
McGee respectfully took out three paper reports written in charcoal from the thick paper. He seemed to have anticipated the situation and was worried that he would not be able to speak fluently due to being too nervous, so he prepared these.
From this point of view, the three people sitting at the conference table roughly understood who McGee was, a somewhat clever adventurer, but nothing more. Smarter people would choose to express themselves in front of nobles,
This is a rare opportunity, and it doesn't just stop at being clever.
These three paper reports were passed to the three nobles by Lanfrick, and the Marquis of Waverley impatiently picked up the paper reports and read them.
There was a brief silence, and the three nobles all reviewed the report.
Soon, a conclusion was reached.
"Can a young dragon really do this?"
Archduke Tobias was the first to speak out. It was because he was surprised, but what was written in the paper report was too unbelievable. Even he who didn't like to show off his words had a look of surprise on his face at this moment.
"Master Ranfrick never gets even one report wrong. I think it's true."
Feldra Lemu expressed his opinion, which contained goodwill towards Lanfrick, and indirectly passed the credit for McGee's presentation of the report to Lanfrick.
Lanfric nodded as a response to his kindness. He said to his father, Grand Duke Tobias: "I used a scroll of the fifth-level super magic Sky Fire Burial. This is the fifth-level magician of the royal city.
Inscribed by McCracken."
McCracken is the chief court magician in the Kingdom of Fei. In other words, there is no problem with the quality of the scroll.
"What's the result?" Grand Duke Tobias asked calmly. The report stated that the fifth-level magic scroll was invalid, but did not describe it in detail.
"..Apparently unscathed."
Lanfrick said a statement that even he didn't believe. On the surface, he was unscathed, but there was a possibility of injury on the inside. But was the evil dragon really injured? He was burned by a hot bath in his mouth.
Yes? In fact, Lanfrick knew the answer very well, but he didn't say it.
Tobias' eyes looked at him, and there seemed to be some kind of charm in them. The feeling was like a thorn in the back, which made Lanfrick avoid looking.
Marquis Grover Waverley unscrewed the wine bottle, poured wine into his own glass, and poured it into his mouth roughly. There was no trace of aristocratic elegance or grace in his behavior, and he looked more like a man who was worried about something.
Drunkard. His eyes were always fixed on the face of Archduke Tobias. According to the loose rules among the nobility, he could only ask about other topics after the person with the highest title had finished asking.
"I understand." Archduke Tobias replied in a calm tone.
After he stopped asking questions, Lord Grover Waverley, the nobleman in charge of the southern army, asked a question in a hurry.
"Has my son Eli been captured by the dragon?"
"And my sister Elena."
Lanfrick gave an answer that surprised Mikey. On the one hand, he was surprised that Elena's identity was actually a member of the Tobias family, and on the other hand, because after Elena was captured,
