Chapter 259: The Blessing of the Great Magician


    Everyone thought the festival would end with a family dinner where everyone would receive their gifts and prizes.


    But in the evening, there was a pleasant surprise.


    Marquis Merlin, I haven''t seen you for a long time. It was a middle-aged man in a fancy magic cape, wearing three gemstone rings of different colors on his hands.


    They are light yellow, light red and blue.


    Mr. Grimaldi, howe you came here? Why are you not in the pce? Marquis Merlin was a little surprised at the arrival of the other party.


    I came with the blessing of the Grand Duke.


    What a hearty one. Let''s start, Mr. Grimaldi.


    Grimaldi smiled and held his hand with the three rings high. The next moment, the brilliance of the rings reflected each other and turned into several beams of light directed into the already dark night sky. These beams are magic, and suddenly burst in the air hundreds of meters high.


    Boom!


    The red light beam burnedrge swaths of me, like clouds of me.


    Boom!


    The blue light beam lifted up clouds of water, surging like waves in the sky.


    Boom!


    Violet beams of light burst into shes of lightning, weaving back and forth between mes and water, making huge thunderous noises.


    Boom!


    The green light beam finally burst and turned into a huge gust of wind, mixing mes, water ma.s.ses and lightning into a ball, constantly changing into various shapes over the Longtaro Castle.


    This magic made all the people in Longtaro Castle look at the sky with their heads held high appreciating the magical wonders. Even distant cities can see magical wonders over Longtaro Castle and could only marvel at them.


    About a quarter of an hourter.


    The magical wonders faded away, and a few raindrops fell. Everything returned to peace.


    Marquis Merlin, I have brought to you the Grand Duke''s blessings. Mr. Grimaldi bowed quietly.


    The Marquis Merlin paid the courtesy with a somewhat wry tone. Although it was just a fancy magic show, I have received the Grand Duke''s wishes so thanks Mr. Grimaldi for your hard work and please join me in the festival dinner.


    It would be an honor.


    Apanied by Marquis of Merlin, Grimaldi nodded to Mesillo and the others, and entered the castle.


    Liszt has already inquired about the ident.i.ty of the other party, and Meopal exined in great detail. Grimaldi Truth, the great magician of the court. He is proficient at the magic of Feng Shui, Fire, Earth, Thunder and Ice, and he is the most powerful. He does research and design of magic equipment, especially magic rings.


    The three rings he''s wearing on his hand? Liszt asked again, remembering that he had deceived Curtis Truth with the sapphire ring, and found nothing special about it.


    However, the shape was very simr to the magic ring on Grimaldi''s hand.


    Maybe it is a magic ring.


    Meopal nodded.Yes, it must be three magic rings. The dragon gem''s powers are used to increase the magic power of magicians. But because the carving of the magic runes is different, it is of no great use to us knights, but it is priceless to wizards.


    Hearing that it was useless to knights.


    Liszt was somewhat disappointed.


    It seems that Curtis'' life box and the magic runes on the blue gem ring were also specifically carved just for magicians. Liszt can''t use it, he can only keep it as a souvenir.


    Suddenly, a sh of thought urred. Why don''t I just cut the sapphire from the blue gem ring, sc.r.a.pe off the magic runes, re-carve, and let someone make it into a gem weapon? There is already a red blood sword suitable for me, but it is better to build another gem weapon suitable for charging.


    He even thought of naming it the Blue Blood Gun, matching with the Red Blood Sword.


    As for the life box function of the sapphire ring, Curtis''s soul was already destroyed with the copse of the ghost ship, so of course, recarving was not necessary.


    However, this sapphire ring is now exposed, will anyone be reminded of it? Besides, can used gemstones even be recycled?


    No idea.


    He thought of it lightly then returned to the banquet to start the New Year''s Eve dinner.


    On the dining table, rich high-.s.s food, luxurious crystal tableware and aged cer wine all unted the wealth of the Longtaro family.


    The great wizard Grimaldi and the Marquis Merlin wereughing and chatting with each other on a few rare court secrets.


    Young people also exchanged their .s.ses and wished each other every sess in the New Year.


    The servants kept going in and out, recing dishes that only had two bites out of it and brought in a variety of dark cuisine dishes. The 2-year-old Rosie got up on the table somehow, patted her small hands on the table, patted the crystal tableware, and shattered it on the ground.


    The servants of the Longtaro Castle packed up the damaged tableware with a smile, while everyone on the table paid no attention.


    Liszt has not developed a liking for dark cuisine even after a year. He ate the food politely but was feeling the boredom deep inside. "This wine tastes like meat, some of these are like dirt on a road."


    Even with the luxurious front of Longtaro Castle, the cutlery can still be easily broken.


    But the price of a crystal tableware may be enough for a civilian to eat ck bread for a year.


    The backward productivity level made it difficult for civilians to eat, wearfortably, and keep warm. Even the serfs of Longtaro Castle, with countless sprites a.s.sisting in agriculture, still struggle to survive. Although the output in the field was high, it also meant heavy taxation, after all, this is used to maintain the lifestyle on Longtaro Castle.


    Food, utilities and armor knight equipment, all productse from the work of the civilians.


    What are you thinking? Are you distracted? Lvera sat next to Liszt, leaned over and asked quietly, Are you thinking about your subordinates, such as a mercenary dressed as a woman with a face mask?


    After arriving at Red Crab Ind, Lvera soon recovered from the trauma of the ghost ship and became interested in Paris. She often found that female mercenaries are able to connect with her feelings more.


    Though Liszt was the one who hired Paris, Liszt has no n of interfering of Lvera''s ns to win her over.


    Hearing this, he gracefully cut the magical beast barbecue and casually replied, No, I''m thinking about world peace.


    Ha Ha. Lveraughed, Liszt, I never knew you could be so humorous.


    Liszt also smiled with a hint of self-deprecation. Othersugh at me for being too crazy, and Iugh at others for not being able to see it through. Life should be about doing some meaningful things, and the desire for world peace is very meaningful. Of course, we need to understand that it is best to set a small goal that can be achieved first."


    What are your small goals?


    Let''s say, riding a dragon first.


    Ha Ha! Lveraughed.


    Cousin Russell on the other side alsoughed. Yes, I also want to set a small target. I also want to ride a dragon.


    Theughter caught Grimaldi''s attention who was talking andughing with Marquis Merlin. Who wants to ride a dragon? I can introduce him to the Grand Duke, whose courtyard houses the only dragon in the country.
