After chatting with Tegris for a while, Laing realized that the great mage had always been a man of few words, and he didn't have much to talk to him about.
The cabin of the High Elves' ocean-going ship was not a crowded place like a human ship. Instead, it was a luxurious palace. Under the enchantment of magic, the actual surface area of the palace was much larger than the actual size of the cabin. When Laing returned to his room, it took him a few minutes to reach it.
The interior of the lower deck included a colorful fountain, a library filled with High Elves' books, a storage room, and even a music hall. The High Elves had never given up on their civilization and pride, even in the midst of war and voyage. Laing walked on the sturdy lower deck. Most of the High Elves who passed by were graceful and calm. They neither despised nor respected this human. Most of them treated him as an ordinary crew member.
Laing only brought a few people with him on this trip, including Gallan Magus Veronica and Sorceress Teresa. Of course, his wife Suria, Suria's maid Sylvia, and a few servants who were in charge of taking care of the female knight.
Tegris divided three rooms for them to stay in. Laing and his wife shared a room, Teresa and Veronica shared a room, and Sylvia and a few servants shared a room.
When he opened the door, he saw Suria and Veronica sitting at a small table in the room. They were making flower tea, tasting High Elven pastries, and chatting about something. On the table in front of Veronica was a High Elven Magic Book. The power of the Wind of Light was rotating in the book.
"We'll need to sail for about two weeks before we reach Marlinburg. Then, we'll cross the Riker River and reach Brunswick." Suria, who was wearing a white fox fur coat, was holding a teacup. The fragrance of the flower tea filled the room. The female knight was wearing a pair of knee-high boots and flesh-colored thick stockings. After spending two weeks with Laing in the Fairy Tower in the lake, Suria's delicate and beautiful face had gradually become mature and beautiful. She exuded her own fragrance. "Don't worry, Veronica. If you … Laing, you're back?"
"Suria, Veronica, what are you talking about?" Laing pulled a chair over and sat down. Even though the cabin of the ship was very large, the size of the ship's crew also determined that the cabin was very practical. The approximately twenty square meters of room was only enough for a bed, a table, and a few cabinets. "Where's Teresa?"
"Teresa is still in the library … I just borrowed a book to read at night," Veronica said with a teasing smile. Veronica's sweet face had a teasing expression as she said, "What's wrong, my Grand Knight? Do you like to see the three of us sitting together?"
Today, Witch Gallan was wearing a vintage brown mink coat. Her long legs were folded in black stockings, and a pair of black high heels covered her cute little feet. Unlike Sulia, Witch Gallan was not afraid of the cold. That was why she always dressed like this all year round.
"Not really." Laing shook his head. "It's a rare opportunity to be taught by Sir Tegris. You must seize it."
Tegris agreed to teach the two witches magic because Laing had shamelessly begged him. In fact, after two months of teaching, both Teresa and Veronica's magic ability had improved by leaps and bounds. Tegris' magic level was too high, and his teaching method of answering all the questions had benefited Teresa and Veronica immensely.
"Veronica and Miss Theresa are both very hardworking. I see that they spend most of their time in the library every day, reading books. If they have any questions, they would go to the deck to ask Lord Tegris for advice." Suria's face was full of smiles as she praised. Veronica obviously felt the pressure and kept saying, "You're too kind."
Seeing this, Laing felt a little funny and a little sad. Veronica had always been a fearless and thorny Gallan, but in front of Suria, the first daughter of the Duke and the "first wife" of the Duke, Veronica still had to be careful and show respect. This was the result of her identity as a wizard. The status of spellcasters in the old world was just that strange. On one hand, humans relied on spellcasters to fight against their enemies, but on the other hand, they were more susceptible to the corruption of Chaos and were secretly wary of spellcasters.
Veronica could not overthrow the entire system of Order, so she could only stay by Laing's side. From a certain point of view, even a sanctum witch like Margarita was the lover of Ludwig the Savior. The two witches were satisfied with becoming Laing's courtiers, and there was no sense of humiliation in it. Becoming Laing's courtiers meant that they were protected and publicly recognized by society, which was very important to spellcasters. Otherwise, why would the position of the Empire's Chief Grand Wizard be so highly respected by spellcasters?
Spellcasters were eager to be recognized by society, but unfortunately, there were very few who could be recognized by the general public, because spellcasters were easily corrupted and became believers of Chaos.
"This time, I'm going to the Empire in an unofficial capacity, so you don't have to care about those official and formal invitations." Ryan said warmly, "You just need to enjoy this trip. That's what I want to tell you."
"To put it bluntly, you just have to say that this trip is an extension of your honeymoon with Lady Suria. What's the point of pretending?" Veronica said mercilessly, "I understand that you're concerned about my feelings, but there's no need for that. We're all adults."
"You can understand it that way." Laing smiled bitterly.
"If Miss Veronica needs it, I can lend Laing to you temporarily." Sulia also smiled and looked at Magus Garland with a teacup in her hand, which made Veronica's face turn red.
Veronica didn't refuse and muttered softly, "Once in a while, depending on the situation."
The evening tea party went on for a while before Theresa arrived. She was wearing a black high-collared windbreaker, black straight-cut trousers, and brown high-heeled boots. Theresa pushed the door open and came in. She respectfully greeted Sulia as Madam before they sat down and drank tea together. "The library is closed. You can only go tomorrow if you want to take a look."
"Well, we're on the high elves' ship. Let's follow their rules." Laing rested his chin on his hand and said arrogantly, "When we get to Brunswick, we can buy whatever we want. I'll pay for it."
Laing received 80,000 crowns for his wedding, with Duke Schultz of Marimburg donating 50,000 crowns. Laing was now rich and had built a huge livestock farm in the empty space between the forest and town. He also planned to upgrade the horse stables and knight training grounds and expand the town.
Now that he had enough people, it was time to continue developing his fief.
After the tea party ended, Veronica and Teresa left together. The two witches went to rest early and meditated. They would be going to the library the next morning to study magic again.
Now, both Teresa and Veronica were slowly being pulled away from Laing. Tegris' arrival gave them a chance to catch up, so they focused all their energy on learning from Tegris.
Only Laing and Suria were left in the room. Laing picked up the female knight and laid her down on the bed in the corner of the room. The Chosen One of the Lake Fairies touched his wife's body and said reproachfully, "Suria, why are you smiling so strangely? It's not like you at all. "
"Ryan, these two female courtiers of yours are very headstrong." The female knight shook her head. "… By the way, Miss Teresa is fine, but you and Miss Veronica have been together for so many years. Why didn't you have a child?"
Laing shrugged and whispered in his wife's ear, "This is the limit of my bloodline. In order to prevent my bloodline from being contaminated by Chaos, Veronica can't get pregnant before the spiritual tattoo is fully engraved. Veronica and I don't spend much time together, so the spiritual tattoo on her body is not fully engraved yet."
"Then … how can it be fully engraved?" The female knight blushed. She was so embarrassed that she was asked this question by the noble wife of a duke. She immediately remembered what happened during their honeymoon in the tower and understood a little. "Laing, the lady has repeatedly asked us to have a child as soon as possible. You need an heir."
"Heir? Ha … "Laing chuckled in his heart. He kissed Suria's sweet lips." It's getting late, my wife. If you want a child, I can't do it alone. "
"Laing … together …"
The sea breeze blew …
Sailing on the sea was actually a very boring thing. After a short period of novelty, Laing and the others found themselves out of place on the ship. Due to the language barrier and the difference in lifestyle, as well as the arrogant attitude of the high elves, the servants brought by Suria did not have a good time. Everyone simply locked themselves in their rooms and went out less.
Teresa and Veronica focused all their attention on learning magic, while Laing and Suria continued their honeymoon life. It was peaceful.
After a week of sailing, they arrived at Le-Angoulême.
The cold wind blew on the sea, and huge waves crashed against the side of the ship. Suria was wearing a windbreaker and boots, holding Laing's arm as they stood on the deck together, looking at Le-Angoulême Castle in the distance.
Le-Angoulême Castle was one of the greatest wonders built in the Old World. This castle was a testimony to the glory of the Elven Empire, and was also the first trading port opened by the high elves in the Old World. It was later abandoned when the high elves retreated. After the Bretons crossed the Grey Mountains, a tribe of horsemen found this abandoned huge castle and immediately decided to settle down here.
The most spectacular part of the castle was the giant lighthouse that was more than 95 meters tall. It was said that it could illuminate the entire sea within 20 kilometers. The castle walls were so smooth that they looked like giant marble sculptures. The walls extended from the lighthouse to the land. It was a magnificent wall that was so wide that ten soldiers could walk side by side.
"It's beautiful. This is the symbol of the Elven Empire." Suria held Laing's arm and looked at the lighthouse in the distance. She pointed at Le-Angoulême Castle and said, "This is not the first time I've seen this castle, but I'm always shocked."
"Because this is the place where the high elves retreated from the Old World." Tegris walked up from behind. The tall high elf mage looked at Le-Angoulême Lighthouse and sighed softly. "The last battle of the Battle of the Long Beard also happened here. The Phoenix King Kaldor II died in this battle. He was beheaded by the Supreme Dwarf King Gaotrec Shatterstar. The dragon tamer family became extinct in this battle, and the method of dragon taming was lost. The Phoenix King's Crown, which was blessed by the elven gods, was seized by the dwarves. It is still in the collection room of the Eternity Peak. This caused the collective strength of the elven gods to suffer. Since then, the elven gods have forbidden the newly forged Phoenix King's Crown from leaving Ossouin."
The high elves were once the masters of the world. At that time, the Elven Empire ruled over thousands of people. Other than the dwarves and Slane, all races crawled at their feet. The fleet that set out from Ossouin crossed the continents. Every year, an astronomical amount of wealth flowed into Ossouin.
Now, all that was left was Le-Angoulême Castle and the giant lighthouse that was occupied by humans. It was like a fragment of the past for the elves to reminisce and feel sad.
"I'm sorry," Laing did not know what to say after hearing the story, so he chose a neutral answer.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. Kaldor II brought this upon himself!" Tegris snorted disdainfully and shook his head. "What's really regrettable is that the dragon tamer family became extinct."
"Dragon tamer family?"
