Chapter 206 "A Young Girl's Heart"
The Lister siblings had only been here for two days, but Du Wei was already feeling a little overwhelmed. From the bottom of his heart, Du Wei really wanted to return to Anglia City immediately. It was said that Thorskei had recently come up with something new, but it was still in the middle of testing. On the other hand, Seth and his group of people are already close to completing Alley's idea of a flying broom.
Du Wei was already dreaming that when the flying broom was finished, he would have a group of flying cavalry to use.
All of this made the Duke's heart itch to fly back to Anglia City and participate in the great and sacred magic experiment.
Unfortunately, in terms of etiquette and status, how could he leave behind such distinguished guests like the Liszt siblings and run away by himself? What's more, the Lister Family had helped him a lot ever since he started, so it was not appropriate to do so.
The Marquise said that she would only stay for a few days and would only leave after attending Du Wei's fifteenth birthday. The Duke's coming of age ceremony was not something that could be casually missed. Fortunately, there was only one day left until his birthday. After one day, the Marquise would have no reason to stay … …
Du Wei didn't think that he would be so eager for his birthday to come early.
It was because the past two days had been too difficult for him.
That girl called Angel, he didn't know what the Marquise had told her, but the next morning, she came running to him and politely asked Du Wei if he could send someone to show them around Miracle City … …
Send someone? At that time, Du Wei had already sighed. His subordinates were all rough and uncouth, so Philip definitely wouldn't have the time. Thinking about it, the only person who had free time was himself. Moreover, the other party was of noble status and was about the same age as him. By saying such words, it was actually a hint to him: If you don't accompany me, who will!
Objectively speaking, this little girl, Angel, was indeed very pleasing to the eye. What was even more rare was that such a beautiful little girl's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and adoration … In front of such a beauty, nine out of ten men would probably become complacent.
Although Du Wei wasn't really dizzy, but to say that he hated this Angel was a bit unconscionable. Unfortunately, wherever this Angel went, that kid with a face full of displeasure towards Du Wei would follow her wherever she went.
This was the only male heir of the Lister Family, so Du Wei couldn't be too rude to him. (At least before the Marquise left, Du Wei was polite, but after the Marquise left, this boy … ….)
First, they walked around the castle a few times. Angel liked the castle very much, especially the greenhouse behind the castle that Du-Wei made. She was very interested in it. Du Wei, according to the knowledge of his previous life, planted some plants in this greenhouse. Most of them were common magic plants, usually used to mix some medicine. Of course, there were also some dangerous things that Du Wei wouldn't let people see here.
Perhaps girls were born to like flowers and plants. Angel fell in love with this place after seeing it. Du Wei found that this Lister Family girl really had her likable aspects. At least, looking at Angel's cheerful and innocent face, in the greenhouse, she didn't care about her image at all. She excitedly pulled the gardeners and asked all kinds of questions. She was so excited that she didn't even care that one of her shoes was lost, just like a carefree butterfly.
As a young lady of the Lister Family, it was rare that she didn't put on any airs. After a day, even the gardeners and servants were very close to this unusually beautiful girl.
Du Wei could see that this girl wasn't deliberately pretending to be friendly in front of him. Generally speaking, many children of rich and powerful families, although "modesty" was their virtue, but the so-called "friendliness" that they deliberately put on actually carried a faint sense of pride.
This kind of person may be very polite and friendly to you. But that kind of intimacy was like the kind of politeness that a noble master would show to his servants.
But this Angel was different. She didn't seem to have any awareness of being a child of a rich and powerful family. Even when she was fiddling with the flowers in the greenhouse, her face was covered in dust, she still smiled as usual.
Such a little girl, plus her originally peerless appearance, who wouldn't like her?
When Du Wei casually asked why Angel was so interested in these magic plants, the girl blushed. The little girl's face blushed. She lowered her head and said in a low voice like a mosquito.
"Because Your Excellency the Duke, you are an outstanding magic pharmacist … …"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. Du Wei couldn't help but have a complicated feeling when he heard this. But the arrogant boy next to him really snorted, looking like he couldn't wait to pull out his sword and duel with Du Wei.
This boy … … he can't be a sister lover, right? Otherwise, why does he always look like he's in a bad mood?
From the first day, this boy had been targeting Du Wei. Probably the night before, Du Wei's warning provoked the boy's rebellious heart: You scare me, the more I want to go against you!
Angel had an innocent and harmless appearance, pestering Du Wei with all sorts of questions. Fortunately, Du Wei could be considered one of the few knowledgeable people on the continent. Whether it was astronomy, geography, or astrology, they were all at his fingertips. But that kid always spoke harshly, arguing with Duwei in between words, or picking bones in an egg to criticize Duwei's point of view.
Just like that, the two continued to argue back and forth until Du Wei discovered that this kid from the Lister Family is actually quite talented. It seems like the family really put in a lot of effort in cultivating him. Although he's always talking nonsense with Du Wei, Du Wei could tell that this kid's knowledge is indeed profound.
In the beginning, Du Wei was too lazy to argue with him. But later, it actually aroused Du Wei's interest and he deliberately teased the boy to test his depth. It became Du Wei taking the initiative to provoke him. The two talked about the six methods of planting orchids, the etiquette of nobles, heraldry, the history of the continent, and finally the current situation of the continent.
In the end, Du Wei discovered that although this boy was a bit arrogant to the point of annoyance, he really wasn't an idiot!
After all, he's just a teenager. How could he compare to Du Wei who had lived two lives as a sly person? In the end, Du Wei finally exposed him: "Humph! What do you know! My sister's knowledge is ten times better than mine! All I know is what she taught me since I was a child! "
Du Wei's heart moved: This Marquise Lister is really extraordinary ….
This boy is only fifteen years old and already has such a degree of knowledge. Why does he still want to be a disciple of Blue Ocean? To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that many of Blue Ocean's disciples may not be as knowledgeable as this boy!
Since he paid attention, Du Wei began to provoke this boy. He didn't guard against it, but the more he talked, the more intense the debate became. After all, his knowledge is not as extensive as Du Wei's. Although his family did their best to cultivate him, but in the end, his answering speed was getting slower and slower. Any random question from Du Wei, he had to think for a long time. His little face turned red before he could reluctantly answer.
But Du Wei also found this boy's weakness: Mysophobia!
In the afternoon, Du Wei took the two to see his horse farm. Riding a horse is an indispensable part of the aristocratic life.
Du Wei came to the Northwest and was blessed by the heavens. He spent a lot of money to collect several good horses. One of the horses was tall and white, with only four yellow spots on its hooves. It ran as fast as the wind, but it was also very stable. Du Wei spent several thousand gold coins to get this precious horse from the Northwest Prairie. It is said that if such a horse was brought to the interior of the Empire, its value would increase by dozens of times!
As soon as the kid saw this good horse, he couldn't even walk anymore. Du Wei wanted to see a joke, so he let him try it out. But before this boy got on the horse, he ordered people to thoroughly clean the saddle. Finally, he took out a pair of clean white gloves and put them on. Only then did he get on the horse.
As a result, this untamed horse flipped over the boy on the spot. Fortunately, there were guards nearby to protect him, so he didn't get hurt. However, it was inevitable that he would be covered in dirt from the fall.
After this boy fell to the ground, he didn't cry out in pain. Instead, he jumped up from the ground as if he had seen a ghost. Then, he took out a white silk handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the dust on his face and hands. Then, he threw the silk handkerchief far away as if there was some deadly poison on it. In the end, he didn't even say goodbye and hurriedly ran back to his room in the castle to take a bath and change his clothes.
"Brother bathes three times a day, once in the morning, noon, and night. Every day, after wearing his clothes, he would immediately throw them away. He would never touch the things that others have used. "Angel sighed and explained somewhat embarrassedly," He has been like this since he was young. "
Mysophobia? Du Wei laughed in his heart: Very good! After your sister leaves the Northwest, if you dare to offend me again, I will punish you by cleaning the toilets every day!
Although he thought so, his face showed a very graceful expression, indicating that he didn't mind.
On this day, the boy was causing trouble. Now that he left, only Du Wei and Angel were left alone. The young lady suddenly became silent, as if she didn't know what to do. Gently biting her lips, she looked at Du Wei and suddenly whispered: "Your Excellency Duke, before I came, I heard that you showed a miracle in the Northwest. This city was built in three months. This matter spread out, but most of the people who heard it didn't believe it. But I believe that with your magic power, it must be true … … right? "
As she said this, she looked at Du Wei with an expectant gaze. Du Wei sighed and avoided her gaze. He said with a smile: "It was built in three months, but that can't be considered a miracle. You know, I am a magician. Magicians always have some abilities that ordinary people don't. "
"I don't believe it." Angel shook her head and said with a smile: "I also know a few magicians, but I asked them. They definitely can't do this."
Then she paused for a moment, her face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and whispered: "Your Excellency Duke, someone as talented and honorable as you … … I think, you must … … must … …" She didn't know where the courage came from, but she raised her head and looked at Du Wei with a fervent gaze: "There must be a lot of beautiful girls for you … …"
"You are wrong." Du Wei immediately shook his head. Then he pondered for a moment and said: "My experience is different from the average noble young master. I didn't like to go out since I was young. Before the age of thirteen, I always hid at home to read books. I rarely went out in a year. I also didn't have any friends of the same age in the capital … … As for those noble young masters, I don't know any of them. Later on, I went to Rollin Plains and lived there for a year. I also didn't go out much … … "
Angel suddenly blinked her eyes and had a playful look on her face: "Ah, you are lying to me!"
Then she laughed: "Who doesn't know that although you don't like to be in the limelight, but you went to the Frozen Forest alone to adventure … … Sigh, I really can't believe it. You are so young, but you have such admirable courage! You actually went to such a dangerous place to adventure … … Hmm, I think, that kind of life, must be very interesting, right? "
Adventure life?
Du Wei couldn't explain to this little girl that when he went to the Frozen Forest, he was actually kidnapped by that old man Gandorf.
But when it came to adventure life, he suddenly thought of a person! The leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, Beinrich, that man, was the most adventurous person he had ever seen!
He thought of the days when he joined the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group in the Frozen Forest. A group of mercenaries, everyone was wrapped in the same blanket in the snow, a bottle of strong liquor, everyone took turns to drink … … And that heroic leader Beinrich, he used the magic core of the Flaming Rhinoceros to brew the strong liquor that could burn people to death … …
Thinking about it, Du Wei couldn't help but have a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said softly: "As an adventurer, if I die of old age on the bed, it is simply a shame! As a real adventurer, I should choose to die in the most exciting journey! "
This sentence was what Beinrich said to Du Wei when he told him about his life's dream. Thinking about it now, that heroic man seemed to be standing in front of him, shouting loudly and shouting at his subordinates to hurry up, and moving towards an unknown direction in the snow forest with high morale … …
Du Wei was deep in thought, but he didn't notice that the little girl, Angel, was looking at him in a daze.
At this moment, in Angel's eyes, she only felt that the smile on this young Duke's face was so charming, and the deep look in his eyes seemed to have endless stories … … How could all of these be compared to those foppish nobles that she had seen all day long?
Those shallow guys, they were obviously ignorant, but they still liked to show off in front of her. For example, the son of the Baron, he always bragged to her about his "great achievement" of killing a fox in his family's hunting ground. And the youngest son of the young Earl, he always bragged about his experience of being injured in a duel — … Hmph, they were just some kids.
Adding all of those people together, how could they be compared to this young Duke, who had such rich and colorful experiences?
"Can you tell me about your adventure in the Frozen Forest?" Angel had unknowingly sat beside Du Wei. She didn't have the air of a noble child, and just sat on the grass casually. Her two slender beautiful legs were naturally curled up, and her body couldn't help but slightly lean towards Du Wei.
Du Wei didn't notice it, and only smiled, "Those things, there's nothing to talk about."
"But I really want to hear it." Angel's voice had a bit of pleading, "Uncle Dadaneier told me some, he said that you are the bravest and most talented young man in the world. At that time in the Frozen Forest, not only did you save his life, but in the end, it was also because of you that we found the golden eye python that saved my sister! "
Du Wei had already noticed that this girl's eyes had revealed the special longing and admiration of a young girl, and he was secretly vigilant. He quickly sat up straight, slightly widening the distance between them, and smiled, "There's really nothing to talk about. You know, I'm a magician. Those things might seem miraculous to ordinary people, but any mage can do it. "
The more Du Wei was unwilling to talk about it, the more mysterious this young Duke was in Angel's eyes, and … … it was rare for him to be so humble! Compared to those boastful nobles who tried to curry favor with her, it formed a strong contrast.
"Then, tell me, how did you save Uncle Dadaneier and the others, okay? Just say it once … … "The girl's eyes were hazy with tears. If Du Wei refused again, she might even cry on the spot.
Du Wei sighed, and helplessly said, "Alright … … It was a few days before I entered the Frozen Forest. That night, I heard a Snow Hound barking in the middle of the night, as if it was frightened by something. It just so happened that I couldn't stand the cold, and I didn't sleep well. When I woke up and looked around, I suddenly heard someone screaming in the forest … … "
Even though she had heard this story countless times, but when it came from Du Wei's mouth, Angel couldn't help but immediately immerse herself in it. When she heard "someone screaming", she couldn't help but tremble, and her hands tightly grabbed Du Wei's arm, and her whole body leaned over.
When Du Wei talked about how he saw Dadaneier and the others being chased by ghouls, and how terrifying the ghouls looked, Angel let out a low cry and quickly closed her eyes, as if the ghouls would suddenly jump out of the story and appear in front of her … …
"I think you're lying!"
Just when Du Wei said that they were hiding in their own camp, and the ghouls didn't dare to come close, a sharp voice shouted loudly from behind.
Looking back, it was actually that despicable brat who had run back. He had already taken a bath, but probably because he was worried that Du Wei and Angel were alone together, he ran out while his hair was still wet. His face was still red from the steam from the bath, and he looked even more like a pink child.
"Oh? How am I lying? "Du Wei wasn't angry, and only smiled slightly.
"Things like ghouls will go berserk once they smell blood. At that time, it was right in front of you, so why didn't it rush over?!" The brat thought that he had found a loophole in Du Wei's story, and questioned loudly.
Du Wei smiled, "Because we have something in our hands that it is afraid of. When I set up camp, I had already scattered some special things around the camp. With those things, most of the magical beasts wouldn't dare to come close."
"What?"
"Feces." Du Wei smiled and looked at the brat maliciously, "Dragon feces."
Sure enough, when this clean freak heard that it was feces, his face turned pale. The more he thought about it, the more disgusted he felt. He was so scared that he didn't dare to ask anything.
"Muse!" Angel was a little angry. This guy kept interrupting her conversation with the duke today. Although she had always been gentle, she couldn't help but be annoyed at this moment. Putting on the airs of an elder sister, she said with a sullen face, "Have you forgotten the most basic etiquette?! When the duke is talking, how can you interrupt at will?! If you do this again, go back to your room! "
This brat was obviously very afraid of Angel, and he didn't dare to say anything. He hung his head dejectedly, but bit his lips.
But in Du Wei's view, this big light bulb brat was hard to find. With him constantly interrupting, he could avoid Angel's admiring eyes. How could he let this brat run away? He quickly smiled and said, "Well, I think your brother is very cute … … We have been sitting here for too long, if you don't feel tired … …"
At this point, Du Wei paused. He really hoped that these two guys would say "tired" so that he could get away. Unfortunately, Angel seemed to have a lot of energy.
Du Wei sighed, "Then, I can take you to see this city. This is the largest city near the border of the Empire. There are a lot of good things in the market. "
Muse curled his lips and whispered, "Hmph, what rare things don't we have in the Lister family?"
But before he finished, Angel had already glared at him, and only then did he obediently shut his mouth.
However, they hadn't left the castle yet. In the castle hall, Du Wei saw Vivian running in with a face full of excitement. Vivian's face was full of joy, but this little silly girl, her talent only showed in magic. Other than magic, it was hard to say … …
She didn't know what happy moment she encountered, but because she ran too fast and was wearing a magician's robe, in front of Du Wei, she stepped on the hem of her robe in a panic and staggered down. Looking at her appearance, she was in front of the stairs. If she fell, who knows how many tears this little silly girl would shed.
Du Wei hurriedly ran two steps forward and hugged Vivian. Vivian only had time to exclaim, and her whole person had already thrown herself into Du Wei's arms. Her face was still palpitating with fear, and when she looked up, her face was full of fear. When she saw Du Wei, her face turned into a smile, but with a flushed face, she whispered, "I, I … …"
"I what!" Du Wei laughed and scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? Did she forget about the fall a few days ago? Or are you hungry and in a hurry to steal food? "
"Just! Just! I didn't … … "Vivian was anxious and stuttered. She just stared at Du Wei shyly, but didn't know how to explain. Du Wei liked to tease this little girl the most, but this little girl always had such a cute appearance, and he couldn't help but want to bully her a little.
"Okay." Du Wei smiled and helped her stand up, but his hand was habitually holding Vivian's little hand, letting Vivian lean in his arms, and said softly, "I'm just teasing you … … What happened, why are you in such a hurry?"
As he said, he couldn't help but gently pinch Vivian's nose.
Vivian was startled and quickly turned her head. Because Du Wei lied to this innocent little girl a few days ago, if she kept pinching her nose, her nose would be pinched flat — this kind of nonsense, probably only a girl like Vivian would say. She actually believed it! After the incident, she was worried for a long time. Every morning, the first thing she did was to run to the mirror, afraid that her beautiful nose would suddenly become flat overnight.
Avoiding Du Wei's naughty hand, Vivian patted her chest and sweetly smiled: "Guess!"
Hearing Muse's soft cough from behind, Du Wei turned around and looked at the Lister siblings. Then he pulled Vivian to his side and smiled: "I didn't introduce her last night … … This is my … …" At this point, Du Wei suddenly paused and pondered for a moment before saying: "This is mage Vivian, an eighth level white clothed mage. She is also a disciple of Master Gandorf. "
Then Du-Wei briefly introduced the siblings of the Lister Family.
When Angel saw Vivian, she couldn't help but be shocked. Originally, beautiful women would pay special attention to other girls with outstanding looks. And Vivian was the kind of little beauty that could be compared to Angel. Her body had a kind of innocence and purity that even Angel couldn't compare to. If Angel was a budding flower, or a fresh strawberry in the early summer … … then Vivian was a sparkling and translucent crystal. With a glance, people couldn't help but feel pity for this girl.
Moreover, seeing Du Wei tightly holding Vivian's small hand, the two standing together intimately, and Vivian almost habitually leaning against Du Wei's side … … Angel's eyes immediately flashed with a trace of melancholy.
Even when Vivian stuttered her greetings, Angel was a bit absent-minded and forgot to answer. This was simply unimaginable for a noble girl who studied etiquette all year round.
How could she hide her thoughts from Muse by her side? Muse's eyes turned and saw Du Wei and Vivian's intimate appearance. She immediately seemed to understand something and coughed: "Duke, since your friend came to find you, there must be something you need. You don't have to worry about us. Anyway, we've been walking around for half a day and are a bit tired. You can go do what you need to do, I'll take my sister back to rest."
With that, he forcefully pulled Angel away. Only then did Angel nod her head at Du Wei in a daze. Then, she said her goodbyes and left. But when she went upstairs, she couldn't help but look back a few times. Seeing Vivian's pure and beautiful angel-like appearance, her heart sank all the way. She even almost fell when she went upstairs.
"Okay." Seeing the Lister siblings leaving, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked Vivian: "What happened?"
"They, they, they are here." Vivian smiled very excitedly: "Hogwarts … … students are here!"
