Chapter 761 Abnormal Throbbing

For the magician family, building a magic workshop is a very necessary act. After purchasing this spiritual vein through the clock tower, the Fulvegi family also did so. To use architectural terms, they need to first fix the spiritual vein like laying a foundation, so that it is easy to introduce the power of the spiritual vein into the magic workshop. Then the workshop can be strengthened and used through the spiritual vein.

However, the result is that this first step is stuck.

Originally, the spiritual vein is like a river, flowing from top to bottom, and the construction of the magician workshop is like building a dam downstream of the river, intercepting the spiritual vein and allowing it to be used for their own magic workshop. Of course, the stronger the spiritual vein, the stronger the power. And the spiritual vein purchased by the Fulvegi family is at most the strength of a small river.

Then the problem came. When the Fulvegi family built the dam and planned to store water, they found out—where is the water?

It was obviously flowing downwards, so why did it disappear?

So this dam was built for nothing?

At first, the people of the Fulvegi family thought that they were not good enough and built in the wrong place. After all, the spiritual vein is not a real, tangible river, but more like something like Feng Shui. It is not uncommon for low-level Feng Shui masters to make mistakes in Feng Shui. So they asked Fiore in the clock tower to come back and take a look, so Fiore went.

As a result, she found out...

"The spiritual vein has been used by someone, and the other party has concealed the fact of its use."

According to Fiore, after she went back and carefully checked, Fiore found that the reason why the power of the spiritual vein was not accumulated was because the power of the spiritual vein had been occupied by someone. The spiritual vein they mistakenly thought was actually just an illusion created by the other party using some method. To put it bluntly, there is the breath of the spiritual vein, but there is no spiritual vein power - this is indeed enough to deceive ordinary magicians.

Fiore was naturally very dissatisfied with this. Generally speaking, there can only be one branch owner of the spiritual vein. This is like you bought a house through a real estate company, and when you plan to renovate it, you find that someone has already lived in it. How can you tolerate this?

So Fiore went to the door and wanted to negotiate with the other party. In Fiore's opinion, this should be the work of a wandering magician or a wanted magician. Only such magicians would secretly do this kind of means of occupying the magpie's nest because they don't have enough money to buy the spiritual vein. Although the Fulvegi family has declined, it is still a second-rate family in the magic world. Moreover, they bought the spiritual vein through the formal channels of the Magic Association. As long as they protest, the other party should retreat.

The land where the spiritual vein is accumulated is located in a nearby town, but when Fiore entered, she found that this town was very unusual.

You know, now it is a civilized society. Although magicians have always been retro, most magicians have already used electrical products such as mobile phones, electric lights, televisions, and computers.

However, that town... still feels like living in the Middle Ages. People there travel by carriage, and their homes still use oil lamps. There is not even any sign of modern civilization.

Of course, this does not mean anything. Even in modern society, it is normal for isolated towns and villages to be primitive and backward. However, after Fiore entered, she found herself lost, or in other words, she could not find the magician according to the breath of the spirit vein.

Not only that, that night, Fiore and others were attacked by the residents of the town.

It was an attack without warning. At that time, Fiore and others were still discussing how to find the magician in the hotel in the town, and they saw a blazing fire outside. Then they found that the people in the whole town surrounded the hotel with torches and tried to catch and kill her.

As a magician, Fiore was naturally not afraid of these ordinary people. She originally wanted to have a good talk with the other party, but these people rushed over like crazy as if they were stimulated. Since magicians need to follow secrecy, Fiore did not dare to do more in public and had to flee the town.

Fiore, who escaped from the town, became more and more angry. After all, she was the patriarch of a magic family, and was driven out by a group of people?

So she went to the door again the next day and wanted to talk to the mayor of the town.

As a result, Fiore was surprised to find that the townspeople who had been holding torches and chasing her last night with ferocious faces now greeted her one by one as if nothing had happened, as if they didn't know her at all.

Fiore was not a fool. She immediately realized that it was very likely that the whole town was the magician's workshop. The moment she stepped into the town, she was equivalent to entering the other party's workshop.

So Fiore decisively chose to retreat - entering other magicians' workshops without any preparation was almost the same as suicide. Then she sent people to sneak into the town and captured the mayor of the town to ask about the situation. However, in the face of Fiore's questioning, the mayor of the town insisted that he knew nothing about it, and then... he turned into ashes in front of Fiore.

That's right, he was not burned to ashes, but the mayor who was struggling hard suddenly stopped moving, and then the "color" on his body quickly disappeared, turning into something like a clay doll, and then the whole person collapsed completely and turned into a pile of sand.

This scared Fiore directly.

Indeed, in myths and legends, there is a saying that gods molded people out of clay, but that also said it was gods. If a magician could do this, it was definitely not a magician that Fiore could deal with. Moreover, she was worried that she had already provoked the other party by doing this, so she hurried to ask for help.

"People turned into clay?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

"Did you bring it?"

"Ah, yes..."

Fiore raised her hands and handed over a bag. Duanmu Huai reached out and took the bag and opened it. Sure enough, he saw something like clay inside.

"………………Hmm?"

Duanmu Huai reached out and took out the clay, then frowned slightly. Because at the moment of touching the clay, he felt a touch of divinity contained in it, although it was very weak and might not be detected by ordinary people. As a god, Duanmu Huai would certainly not be surprised by such a breath.

However, are there still gods in this era?

This is not Faerun. Gods have long become legends.

Hmm...it seems a bit interesting.

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment and looked at Fiore.

"I will take care of this matter."

Duanmu Huai said so and did so.

"Indeed, the clay has a very strange divine breath."

Lying on Duanmu Huai's chest, Medea raised her head curiously, with a little blush on her fair face, and her purple long hair that was usually tied into a ponytail spread out, covering the bodies of the two.

"Are you very interested in this?"

Duanmu Huai reached out and gently stroked Medea's head, and at the same time touched her pointed ears, while the latter squinted her eyes comfortably like a cat.

"Of course, Master. The mystery of this era has faded, but the magicians' ingenious ideas are really interesting. Seeing that the inheritance of magic still exudes vitality in an era of declining mystery is indeed quite interesting to me."

"I am also very interested in this matter."

Just then, Duanmu Huai felt a hot and soft touch coming from his arm. He turned his head and saw that Irisviel was propped up and looking at him curiously.

"Then let's go together. After all, we are free."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai sat up. At this moment, the morning sun was shining in from the window.

"Okay, let's get ready."

"Yes, Master."

When Duanmu Huai changed his clothes and walked to the restaurant with Medea and Irisviel, he saw the two people who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Ah, brother, good morning."

Sakura saw Duanmu Huai and hurriedly greeted him, and Lorena beside him also waved.

"Good morning, Knight."

"Morning."

Duanmu Huai nodded to the two of them. Every morning, Lorena would take Sakura to do morning exercises, so it was not surprising that they were here.

"Oh, good morning, brother. Every time I see you holding flowers in your hands, I can't help but be jealous. Did you have another pleasant night last night?"

At the same time, Lanis also walked into the restaurant with a chuckle, looking at Duanmu Huai and Medea and Irisviel standing behind him and said.

"Children, don't talk about these things in the morning. You are still young."

Duanmu Huai glared at Lanis, who didn't care. As Lanis said, in this year, the relationship between Duanmu Huai, Medea and Irisviel has long been beyond the ordinary, which is also normal. As Irisviel said, they are servants and connected to the master, so they are almost like husband and wife.

In this case, it is natural for both parties to do some husband and wife things, right?

Even Duanmu Huai had to admit that the charm of the two was indeed hard to resist. The pure and lovely Medea has the playfulness and joy of a girl, and Irisviel's curvy figure is even more fascinating. No matter from which angle, both of them are rare beauties.

More importantly, the two are servants, heroic spirits, and familiars. At least... well, there is no need to worry about accidentally causing death, right?

In various aspects.

"Brother is really like an antique in this regard."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Lanis curled her lips and sat next to Xiaoying. Then Duanmu Huai, Medea and Irisviel also sat down. Then a maid came up and served breakfast, and Duanmu Huai also told his arrangements while eating breakfast.

"Today, I will go to Fulvegi's territory with Medea and Irisviel. Classes will be suspended for a week. Lainis, go and explain this to the others."

"Go to Fulvegi's territory?"

"I heard from Fiore that there seems to be something interesting about the spiritual vein there. We plan to go and take a look."

"Ah, so........."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Lainis suddenly realized and nodded as if she understood something.

"I see, indeed, although Fiore's health is not very good, that kind of pitiful weakness and purity can easily arouse men's interest. Moreover, as the vassal of El-Melloi, it is understandable that you, my brother, treat the head of the Fulvegi family as a mistress... It hurts!"

However, before Lainis finished speaking, Duanmu Huai slapped her head.

"Stop talking nonsense, or you'll teach Sakura bad things."

"This is also the inevitable path for magicians........."

Lenice said helplessly while holding her head.

However, what Lenice said was not wrong. After joining the Clock Tower, Duanmu Huai also came into contact with many internal secrets in the magic circle, some of which opened his eyes. For example, there is no rule that magicians must marry a wife. Like the muscular man who looked more like a boxer than a magician that Duanmu Huai saw at the Crown Decision, the top of the democratic faction, Mag Daniel Tranberio Elrod, was rumored to have more than a dozen mistresses and dozens of children. This kind of thing seems to be very common in the world of magicians.

After all, for many weak magician families, if they can introduce the blood of a powerful magician, then maybe someday they can give birth to a descendant of a magician with strong qualifications, which is naturally a big profit for them.

By the way, this is the main reason why Duanmu Huai is so popular in the clock tower. Although his appearance is not the kind of pretty boy who can attract women, there are rumors that his bloodline is the reason for summoning CASTER Medea, so there are many people who want to introduce Duanmu Huai into their family bloodline.

But none of them took action.

This is not because they are afraid of Duanmu Huai. If there is anything to say, well...

It's just that the legend of Medea is too scary.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at Medea who was having breakfast next to him. He had also read the legend of Medea, but in Duanmu Huai's opinion, wasn't the culprit the idiot Cupid? If he hadn't cursed Medea, Medea wouldn't have followed Jason wholeheartedly, right? At least now, during the days of getting along with Medea, Duanmu Huai didn't think she was like the kind of person with a strong desire for exclusivity in the legend, and she got along very well with Irisviel.

What is this called... what kind of sisters?

Forget it, it doesn't matter what.

Duanmu Huai withdrew his thoughts and looked at the breakfast in front of him again. Although he didn't want to say it, but... for Duanmu Huai, his biggest dissatisfaction was this.

"Do we have to eat fish and chips every morning?"
