Main Text Volume Chapter 349 Strange Disease
After Angel walked into the hall, Leonrick came over and introduced himself and invited Angel to take a seat.
Angel glanced at the guests. Cynthia accepted the gaze with a smile, while Magda blushed and lowered her head slightly when Angel looked at her.
Leonrick pointed to the middle-aged lady on the right and introduced: "This is my wife, Cynthia."
Then he pointed at Magda and sighed softly: "Magda, why are you lowering your head? Come and apologize to the adults."
After hearing this, Magda immediately stood up and bowed to Angel shyly: "My lord, it was me last time..."
Before Magda finished speaking, Angel looked away and looked at Leonrick: "Save some energy to talk, no need to apologize, the punishment has been punished, and I will not pursue it."
Magda was stunned on the spot.
Although he said it didn't matter, Angel ignored her the whole time, which made Magda's originally planned emotional apology and confession turn into a red face.
——It was all suppressed.
Angel sat in the left hand chief seat, which is the most honorable guest seat in traditional aristocratic etiquette besides the host seat.
"I wonder what your name is?" After Leon Rick sat down, he began to speak carefully.
Angel originally wanted to say his real name, but then he thought about it and thought that since he had used a code name with the magician, he might as well continue to use it: "Mask."
Not saying the name, but saying an unknown code name, this is a very rude behavior. But Leon Rick just froze his expression and continued: "So it's Master Mask, Magda was too rude a few days ago. Although the master said that he would not pursue it, as a father, I still feel very uncomfortable. I am here to apologize to the master on behalf of my daughter."
After that, Leon Rick poured himself a glass of wine to punish himself.
Angel didn't interrupt his apology this time, which made Magda, who was sitting next to him, feel a little wronged.
When Leonrick finished his gesture, Angel said with a half-smile: "I accept your apology."
Angel's words made everyone stunned. Didn't he say before that there was no need to apologize? Why did he say now that he accepted the apology?
It took Leonrick a long time to react. Angel was saying that he didn't teach his daughter well. He could ignore his daughter Magda's rudeness with the attitude of adults not remembering the mistakes of small people, but Angel actually knew the main reason for Magda's rudeness - lax family education.
So, he just didn't pursue Magda's apology; and he forgave Leonrick's apology.
Everyone present was not a fool, and Angel's subtext was heard. Magda's eyes turned red, and when she was about to say something, her thigh was held down by her mother Cynthia who was sitting next to her. Cynthia glanced at Magda with a warning look, and turned her head back to smile.
"Alas, this is all my fault for not teaching my daughter well. Magda is my only child, and she is spoiled. From now on, I will ask the most strict etiquette officer to teach her. In the next six months, I will strictly control Magda until she can transform from the inside out before she can go out."
What Leonrick said was like a house arrest order, which made Magda, who longed for a free life, anxious to argue immediately, but Cynthia pressed her down hard under the table, and Magda could only nod in grievance in the end.
"Let's stop this topic here. You invited me here, didn't you just invite me for this matter?" Angel didn't have time to waste on family drama.
As he spoke, Angel picked up the exquisite cup on the table, and Leonrick immediately signaled the wine waiter next to him with his eyes to add wine, but Angel stopped the wine waiter, and a stream of magic power was transmitted from the model in his body.
With a gentle shake, the cup was filled with water.
"Wine will interfere with emotions and disrupt thinking. I prefer drinking water to wine." In fact, what Angel wanted to say was "I like tea the most", but he was afraid that once he said it, Leonrick would really serve tea. But he meant milk tea, not the weird fermented tea that ordinary nobles like to drink.
Angel's wonderful trick of "making something out of nothing" shocked everyone present.
After a long while, Leonrick came back to his senses and said calmly: "I asked you to come here mainly to apologize, and I have some small things to ask you."
Angel raised his eyes and said nothing, just motioned Leonrick to continue.
Leonrick did not speak immediately, but motioned Cynthia to take Magda away. Then he sent away all the people in the hall, leaving only the butler to serve.
"I just want to know if the masked master is the legendary... wizard?"
Anger paused. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Leon Rick if he knew any news about wizards, but he didn't expect that Leon Rick had already asked before he asked.
"Of course, you don't have to answer. It's just my curiosity." Leon Rick saw that Angel paused, and he was afraid that the other party would be unhappy, so he immediately added.
Anger smiled faintly: "Of course you can answer, but before you answer, I want to know where the count learned about wizards?"
Leon Rick had no doubts about this question: "My family has lasted for nearly 900 years, and has recorded many secrets. Among them, there are mentions of wizards, but I used to treat them as legends."
Anger: "Can you take out the information you mentioned so that I can see it?"
Leonrick was stunned, his expression was hesitant. The family secrets involved many things, some of which were too dirty, and some even talked about the secrets of the royal court. He couldn't make a decision when showing it to an outsider.
Seeing this, Angel said calmly: "I am indeed a wizard."
Angel did not explain the difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice. For ordinary people, they are the same anyway.
Hearing Angel's answer, Leonrick's eyes were filled with a kind of understanding and a hint of fear. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that there are really wizards in the world. The rumors are true."
"The world of wizards will not intersect with the world of ordinary people. Generally speaking, wizards will not disturb the lives of ordinary people." What Angel did not explain was that the reason why wizards did not disturb the lives of ordinary people was purely because the power gap was too big. Have you ever seen someone inexplicably hostile to ants? The magnitude is different, so even the most evil wizards are too lazy to interfere with the lives of mortals.
Leonrick was silent for a while: "Master Mask, the secrets of the Griffin family are usually kept by the head of the family. According to the family rules, outsiders are not allowed to watch them."
"If you must see it, I can take it out." Leonrick said this and carefully said the next sentence that made him very nervous: "But, can I ask you for a favor?"
Using a family secret to ask a wizard for a favor. Leonrick himself felt that this was extremely unreasonable, just like a person who took a fancy to the rice field ball pushed by a dung beetle, he wanted to take it away, would he ask the dung beetle to agree?
Leonrick's heart was up and down, uneasy.
Angel didn't answer for a long time, Leonrick wanted to give up, and directly took out the leather scroll with the secrets to ask for Leonrick's forgiveness.
But at this moment, Leonrick spoke: "I can give you a chance to express your request."
Angel didn't say yes or no. Leonrick's cautious request made him seem to see himself not long ago, when he and Honglian were also in this unequal position.
He understood this uneasy feeling, but it was not enough to constitute the answer of "agree".
At most, Angel gave Leonrick a chance to express himself with empathy. As for whether to agree or not, that was another matter.
Although Angel did not agree, Leonrick was still very surprised and hurriedly expressed his request.
"I want to ask you for something, not for myself." Leonrick sighed and said, "Although Waterglass is invincible, as the actual manager of Waterglass, I know that there are too many places in this city that I cannot reach. What I want is these things that I cannot reach, and even have no solution."
"Are you talking about the gray forces? Barr?" Angel raised his eyebrows.
"No, no city is completely clean. Where there is white, there is naturally black, so the existence of Baal is not a concern for me."
"Then you are talking about... the magician?"
Leon Rick shook his head: "I dare not and have no right to ask you to help us with the magician's matter. What I am talking about is actually a strange thing that ordinary people can't solve, but maybe you can solve it."
"Strange things that ordinary people can't solve?" Angell was a little curious.
"This matter started a year ago..."
A year ago, a man in Waterglass suddenly got a strange disease. After being sent to the Golden Cross Medical College, he didn't have any symptoms at first, but later, his body began to weaken. At first, he couldn't move, and then he slowly couldn't speak, his eyes were dull, and finally he was like a living dead. Obviously there are still signs, and the basic physiological stress is still there, but the whole reaction is like a dead person.
Since the strange disease appeared a year ago, there have been more than a hundred cases so far.
"All the professors of the Golden Cross Medical College have taken action, and even a family member has volunteered to donate a 'living dead' for vivisection, but the final result of the autopsy is still no problem."
"So, I would like to ask the adults to take a look, okay?"
This request surprised Angel a little. Leon Rick talked for a long time, and the request was not for himself, but for the people. If there is nothing strange in the middle, it seems that the earl Leon Rick is a clear stream among the nobles.
Anger has basically no concept of treating diseases. Although he knows a little about Chinese and Western medicine, he has learned all theories, and clinical practice can only rely on guesses. But he is not afraid of the stage, anyway, he may not really agree to this condition.
"What is the specific basis for judging the strange disease you mentioned?"
Leon Rick: "I didn't expect the adults to grasp the key point so quickly. The reason why it was judged as a strange disease is strange because of the initial symptoms..."
"These hundred patients have one thing in common."
-They all lost their shadows.
