Chapter 621 610. Hit the wall
Complete the proposal ceremony.
Even if Suldak entered into a marriage contract with Hathaway, he became Hathaway's fiancé.
Traditional aristocratic families attach great importance to wedding rituals, so before they get married, the relationship between Suldak and Hathaway cannot go any further, which involves the dignity of the Luther family.
In the middle of the night, the guests who participated in the ball had almost left, and the servants in the Marquis's Mansion had already begun to extinguish some of the extra colored lights in the courtyard, so that the lights in the parking lot were gradually extinguished. There were not many magic caravans left in the courtyard. , the Marquis Luther, Mrs. Marianne, and Mrs. Mabel stood at the gate of the castle and saw off the last guest.
Suldak bid farewell to Marquis Luther.
Marquis Luther looked energetic after a busy night. He patted Suldak on the shoulder and planned to drag him to the study for a few glasses of wine.
Madam Marianne was also very enthusiastic about keeping Suldak to stay in the Marquis's mansion, and personally arranged a room for Suldak.
However, Suldak knew that he didn't dare to stay overnight in the Marquis's mansion, so he could only bite the bullet and decline.
In the morning, he and Aphrodite found the hotel where they were temporarily staying. Aphrodite restarted the summoning ceremony in the hotel room, but from the morning to the present, he has been staying in Bena City for almost 18 consecutive days. Hours is already the limit of Aphrodite's summoning time. If she stays in Luther Marquis' mansion now, a void gate may appear in front of her at any time, and she is forcibly pulled into the void gate by the contract power of the summoning circle in.
In order to prevent that kind of thing from happening, Suldak had no choice but to reject the gracious invitation of Marquis Luther and Mrs. Marianne, and left Marquis Luther's mansion under the moonlight at night.
Suldak's judgment was absolutely correct. He had just turned out of the gate of Marquis Luthor's mansion when he felt bursts of void power pouring out around him, and a summoning circle had already begun to emerge under his feet. He dared not hesitate , quickly hid in the shadow of a high wall in the street, and as the summoning circle emerged from under his feet, a powerful void force sucked him into the void.
Under the shadow of the high wall, Suldak disappeared in place.
…
A void door in the treasure chamber opened instantly, and Suldak felt a powerful repulsive force pushing him out.
Suldak returned to the treasure chamber. The red dragon slept with its head lying on the platform of the treasure chamber. It probably felt the power of the void. The red dragon opened its eyes in astonishment and saw Suldak coming out of it. .
Its eyes did not look very surprised, but blinked at Suldak, leaned towards Suldak sleepily, opened its mouth lazily and yawned a big, Suldak Ke had been prepared for a long time, and quickly avoided the front, and a gust of wind blew the crystal fragments far away.
Red Dragon rolled his eyelids and stared at Suldak, his eyes full of expectation.
Suldak lowered his head, rolled up his sleeves, and saw that the tenth scale had begun to grow on his arm. He immediately stood opposite the red dragon, and began to pronounce the number ten rune language 'Shuer' correctly. Then he Draw two large 'V's with a slight slant stacked on top of each other in handwriting.
When the 'Shu'er' was drawn by Suldak, although the rune only stayed in front of Suldak for less than three seconds, an extremely cold ice element instantly injected into Suldak's body, and Su Erdak only felt that one of his hands was wrapped in cold light blue ice crystals.
The red dragon jumped in fright, shrank its head back suddenly, and looked at Suldak in surprise.
Suldak signaled him to follow along, and then reluctantly began to learn the language of runes.
Sure enough, when the red dragon began to learn the dragon language, the tenth scale on Suldak's arm began to fade.
The red dragon quickly learned the tenth rune language, and then approached Suldak expectantly, as if waiting for Suldak's compliment. He patted the dragon's head, which was even bigger, and then took out a bundle of red crystals from the magic pocket.
The red dragon opened its mouth wide, allowing Suldak to throw these red crystals into its mouth. The sound of the red dragon chewing the red crystals was harsh, and he swallowed the red crystals in a few mouthfuls.
It stuck out its tongue and licked its lips contentedly...
After Meimei had a meal, before Suldak began to teach it the language of the eleventh rune, the red dragon decisively withdrew from the relief stone wall and slipped away.
Sudak was the only one left in the treasure chamber.
…
The next morning...
Suldak reappeared in the hotel room. The room was warm, and a thick layer of frost formed on the glass windows.
Sunlight shines into the room through this layer of frost, just like being in a glass greenhouse.
Aphrodite was wearing a thin nightgown, lying lazily on the hotel bed, covered with a velvet blanket, with a face that just woke up, the succubus was not in a good state of mind, and looked a little tired.
She squinted her eyes and held her chin, lying on the bed and asked Surdak, "Where are you going today?"
Suldak straightened the delicate leather armor on his body, and then straightened the badge on his chest in front of the vanity mirror in the room. He took out a skinning knife from his waist, and skillfully shaved off the stubble on his chin. Turning around, he said, "I'm going to visit Earl Gophero today. I promised Beatrice that I would also propose to her. Before that, I must seek the consent of her father, Earl Gophero. Tell me that you are willing to marry your daughter to me!"
Aphrodite tugged at the loose 'V' neckline, with a schadenfreude smile on her face, and said to Surdak: "Oh, then I wish you good luck, I hope you can bring back some good news , but from the perspective of mysticism, you will have many problems when you go out today, and I remind you, don't play too late..."
Suldak choked slightly.
He didn't expect that Aphrodite had also studied occultism, but he didn't care too much. He just waved at Aphrodite and said, "Got it, I will pay attention to the summoning time!"
"It's good to know." Aphrodite didn't explain much, but just complained: "When you can control the magic element, I will let you learn to summon the magic circle, and feel how boring it would be to maintain the magic circle all day long !"
Suldak leaned over, patted her face with his hands, and comforted her: "I know you worked hard yesterday!"
Aphrodite rolled her eyes speechlessly, and stopped responding to him.
Beatrice Gophero, compared with the surname Luthor, although the surname Gophero is a veteran nobleman in the city of Beina, in recent years, there have been no outstanding young people in the Gophero family. The ranking in the Bena province is declining year by year.
The Gefiro family has some shops in Bena City, mainly dealing in linen and cotton cloth, and also runs some high-end Warcraft material stores. The more intense it is, the profits of these shops will continue to decline.
Beatrice's father, the Earl of Gophero, wanted to maintain the dignity of the Gophero family. In addition to cultivating outstanding young people in the family, he also had to absorb outstanding young people from outside to join the Gophero family.
Suldak stood at the gate of the Gophero family estate. He resolutely rejected Beatrice's companion this time, and planned to face Earl Gophero alone.
According to Beatrice, her father was a stubborn old man with typical traditional concepts, stubborn and mediocre.
Looking at the large iron door with some peeling paint, there are serious rusts on many places on the iron door. Although the rust is not serious enough to affect the overall strength of the door, it has already made the outer door look very old.
Connecting the two gates is a door stack made of square stones. On both sides of the door stack is a mottled wall. Moss grows between the stone crevices. After the moss withers and turns yellow in winter, it sticks to the wall, making it look very old.
The snow outside the wall has not been cleaned, and the Gophero family lives in this ancient manor. Suerdak took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to stride to the porter at the gate, and took out a visiting card. The letter was handed over to the guard at the gate.
The guard at the gate was a little old, and his eyes were not very good. He looked at Suldak with great difficulty.
Along with the visiting letter, there is also a silver coin.
The old guard didn't find the silver coin under Suldak's invitation letter at first, and immediately showed great joy on his face, and asked Suldak kindly: "Young man, who are you looking for?"
"I want to visit Count Gophero." Suldak said standing at the door.
"The count went to the rally last night and hasn't come back yet!" the guard said to Suldak. "You can leave your address. If the Earl is willing to see you, he will send someone to notify you."
Suldak nodded.
The lifestyle of the nobles is like this. An official visit needs to be agreed upon by both parties, otherwise the door will usually be closed.
Through the gap between the big iron gates, Suldak looked into the manor. Several servants were still sweeping snow in the courtyard. There was a row of stables built by the right wall of the vestibule. A sudden heavy snow caused A corner of the stable collapsed.
The buildings in the manor are also very old. On the whole, this old manor needs to be repaired.
Suldak was about to leave Gophero Manor, and when he turned around and walked down the street, a silver magic caravan drove towards him. The family crest of a lion's head was printed on the caravan. The magic caravan was parked in front of the gate. A middle-aged nobleman in a gorgeous dress opened the car door and asked Suldak, "Young man, who are you looking for?"
Suldak heard someone calling him, stopped, and said to the middle-aged nobleman with a tired face: "I want to see Earl Gophero..."
"You're looking for me, we know each other?" The middle-aged noble squinted his eyes, and his eyes fell on the noble badge on Suldak's chest, asking with a puzzled expression.
Suldak did not expect that the middle-aged nobleman in front of him who was overindulgent, thin and spiritless would be Earl Gophero. Seeing that there was a Earl Medal on his chest, he quickly said: "No, this is me. First time visiting."
Marquis Gophero looked indifferent, waved to Suldak, and said, "Oh, please come up! It's warmer in the carriage."
Suldak boarded the silver magic caravan, but the inside of the car was not as bright as it looked on the outside. The soft leather sofa in the car had some small cracks, and the other furniture also looked a little old, and the color tone was a bit depressing. .
Count Gophero sat in the magic caravan, holding a glass of golden cider in his hand, and looked at Suldak in the posture of a superior.
A noble lady was sitting next to Earl Gophero. The lady had sharp and critical eyes. She looked at Suldak impatiently, wishing he could get out of the car directly.
"Is there anything you want from me?" Earl Gophero pondered for a moment, pursing his lips and asked lightly.
The noble lady pulled down her low-cut dress, and covered her exposed shoulders with a fur shawl.
Suldak introduced himself to Earl Gophero: "My lord, my name is Suldak, and I am a nobleman in Hailansa City..."
Suldak stated his purpose of coming here in one breath.
Earl Gophero sat in the magic caravan, looked at Suldak with a cold expression, and said after a long while: "I know you, although you are from Hailansa, but I think most of the nobles in Bena City will remember you last night. you."
Suldak felt a chill in his heart. Judging from Earl Gophero's attitude, it was obvious that he didn't have a good impression of him.
Count Gophero rolled his heavy eyelids, stared at Suldak, and said, "Since you want to take my daughter, you obviously have made some mental preparations..."
Earl Gophero paused for a moment. He drank the golden cider in his glass in one gulp. He placed the empty glass casually on the folding table and poured himself another glass of wine. Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol. The hand kept shaking, and the golden wine continued to overflow from the cup.
His smile was cold, and his expression seemed a little impatient. He said to Suldak: "Want me to promise you? My condition is very simple, either you join the Gophero family and become a member of the Gophero family, Either you have the same strength as me, and then tell me about this matter, obviously you have nothing now... so I can't agree."
Although Suldak had already made some mental preparations, he was still a little disappointed when he heard Earl Gophero's refusal without hesitation.
"Lord Earl Gophero, please listen to my explanation..."
Suldak wanted to fight for it again, but Earl Gophero waved his hands again and again to signal Suldak not to continue. He tapped on the table with one finger and said to Suldak: "I don't need to listen What do you explain, I don't need to think about Beatrice's thoughts, since she was born in an aristocratic family, she has the obligation to contribute to the family. In fact, every aristocratic family is like this, so don't waste your time with me .”
"I'm a little sleepy, I want to go home and rest, shall we stop here?"
Count Gophero stared at Suldak with a cold face and said.
