MTL - Weird Wizarding World-Chapter 406 Ancestral Secret
Colin opened the door, took Jennifer to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and asked softly:
"Would you like something to drink?"
"It will be all right."
Jennifer felt inexplicably shy looking at this handsome wizard who almost became her fiancé, but the crisis of the family made the charm in her heart only exist for a moment and then dissipated like a cloud of smoke.
Renee brought two cups of black tea and a plate of delicate desserts at the right time.
"I don't know why Her Majesty Jennifer is looking for me?" After a few pleasantries, Colin asked.
Jennifer took out the familiar half badge, stared at Colin and said solemnly:
"There is indeed one thing I want to bother you when I come here this time. But before I say it, I hope you can promise to keep it secret."
Colin raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the half metal badge on the table, nodded after a pause and said: "I will, please rest assured, Your Highness Jennifer."
"We want His Excellency Colin to help open a door."
"Open a door?" Colin was slightly taken aback, and put down his hand holding the black tea.
"Yes, you will know the details when you arrive, so I'm sorry I can't say more." Jennifer felt apologetic, and after thinking about it, she added: "This matter is not dangerous, you don't have to worry, um...the location is right here Loen Palace."
Colin didn't hesitate any longer, picked up half a badge from the table and said straightforwardly: "Yes, Your Highness, please lead the way."
Jennifer nodded, feeling relieved, she led Colin out the door, and got into a simple public carriage.
The groom had an ordinary face and was exceptionally silent. Seeing that Colin and the two got into the carriage without asking any questions, he drove the carriage with a whip and drove out of this residential area from a small road that Colin knew for the first time, and merged into a bustling road. street.
Just when Colin was a little confused, Jennifer's cheeks were slightly red, she bit her lip, and suddenly took off the gray coat on her body, revealing the white cashmere sweater and the beautiful curves outlined by it.
Colin was startled, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but saw that Jennifer had already frantically taken out a gorgeous robe from nowhere and put it on again.
"These are some necessary concealment methods." Jennifer was already on the cheeks of Joffre at the moment, and she pretended to be calm and said to Colin.
She couldn't remember any of the details of the previous instructions from the elders of the family. She seemed to have turned into a steaming mist and drifted away from the top of her head when she was shy and hot just now.
"...So that's how it is." Colin didn't think much about it, sometimes these primitive concealment methods are more effective than witchcraft when dealing with wizards.
Paused, he suddenly frowned and asked: "Does the Loen family suspect that the disappearance of His Excellency Erwin is related to the three wizards from the Istar School who just arrived?"
Jennifer paid special attention to her whereabouts, apparently to avoid certain people.
As for these people, in Colin's view, the most likely ones are obviously the three of Ke Mu who just arrived.
Jennifer glanced at Colin with some surprise in her eyes, but remained silent.
When Colin saw this, he didn't ask any more questions, but he was a little more puzzled.
The wizards of the Istar School actually attacked the Loen family... Was it to control the power of the Loen Kingdom?
"Your Excellency Colin, the driver will continue to take you to your destination."
The carriage stopped behind a high-end clothing store. After Jennifer finished speaking, she got out of the carriage quietly.
She will return to the royal palace in a royal carriage from the entrance of the tailor shop.
No one will find out that she actually visited Colin during this time.
After so much tossing, Colin finally came to the depths of Loen Palace.
This place is located deep in the ground, under an inconspicuous tree in the southeast corner of the palace, the whole is a gray passage about two meters wide and narrow.
At the end of the passage, there is a copper-colored metal door carved with ears of wheat.
Beside the door is slightly wider, and there are three core members of the royal family standing at this time.
"King Dewiert, Your Highness Silas, Your Highness Alisa." Colin greeted one by one.
The three of them also respectfully returned a salute.
"Your Excellency Colin, you are laughing at how the Loen family has fallen to this point." The majestic king sighed, staring at Colin intently with slightly cloudy eyes.
This is a gamble.
Here is another white tower of Erwin's grandfather.
Grandfather mysteriously disappeared with all the official wizards, without leaving any information. The Ruen family still exists, but only now.
The Loen family, which doesn't even have an official wizard, will soon lose all power and resources, and fall from the top of the cloud to the quagmire without the slightest buffer.
The hidden white tower in front of him, Wizard Erwin once said, can be opened when the Loen family is most desperate, and he left some precious resources in it.
And now is undoubtedly that time.
However, what is absurd is that the outermost daily protection of the door of this secret room requires at least a wizard of the first level to open it.
This was originally used to guard against some thieves who accidentally broke in, but now it has become the biggest difficulty that bothers DeWilt and the others.
Perhaps Erwin never thought that one day the Loen family would not even be able to find an official wizard who opened the secret room.
"What exactly do I need to do?" Colin asked aloud.
"What you need to do later is to input magic power and spiritual power to the pillar at the same time." De Wiert pointed to a diamond-shaped pillar about one meter on the right hand side of the door.
"Later?"
"Well, we still have to wait for Jennifer to come." DeWilt replied, and then said with a wry smile on purpose: "She is now the most powerful wizard in our entire Loen family, and her cooperation is needed to open the door."
Colin nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.
DeWilt looked at Colin with cloudy eyes, trying to find any possible greed or mirth in his face.
It's a gamble... de Wiert muttered inwardly.
No one knows whether Colin will kill them all after opening the secret room, and then occupy all the things in the secret room alone.
As a first-order wizard, Colin has such strength.
But DeWilt had no choice, and neither did the Loen family.
Even if they don't find any wizards, they won't be able to keep this secret room as time goes by.
Even if Jennifer's strength is closest to that of a formal wizard, the time from successfully advancing to the first level is still calculated in years.
The Ruen family has no time to wait.
What's more, they still held a glimmer of hope that Erwin might still be alive.
If you can open this 'Second White Tower', maybe you can find clues about Wizard Erwin's disappearance.
As long as Erwin, a second-tier wizard, is still alive, the Loen family will still be the highest controller of the Loen Kingdom.
While thinking, footsteps came from the passage behind her, and Jennifer had already arrived.
"His Royal Highness Jennifer." Colin greeted calmly.
"Your Excellency Colin." Jennifer's face turned red when she saw Colin, and her eyes were a little averted.
DeWilt watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although she told Jennifer to seduce Colin, it was just a random move and she didn't expect any good results, but in the current situation...why is there something wrong with her granddaughter?
"Let's get started, Lord Colin."
The majestic middle-aged king continued.
"Okay." Colin nodded, walked to the pillar, and stretched out his hand to press the top of the pillar with Jennifer.
With the release of magic power and spirit, a moment later, the iron door carved with ears of wheat flashed a ray of light, and after scanning Jennifer's whole body, it opened silently.
Jennifer subconsciously looked into the door of the secret room, and so did Colin...or everyone present was like this—except Delwitte.
The moment the door opened, the middle-aged king tensed up immediately, staring at Colin intently.
Seeing that the latter was still standing there, he was slightly relieved without any other movements.
"It seems that what I need to do is over." Colin withdrew his curious gaze, turned his head and said, "Then I won't bother you any more."
He is not a fool, so he can see that this must be an extremely important place for the Loen family.
But if you don’t want to be strong, Colin is not interested in the secrets of the Ruen family, and he is not the kind of person who can take advantage of the fire.
So, in order to avoid embarrassment, let's take the initiative to leave.
Derwitt froze for two seconds, he thought that Colin would at least choose to follow in to have a look.
After reacting, Delwitt looked at Colin's gaze softened, and joy gradually emerged in his heart.
I bet right!
"Please, Your Excellency Colin." He bowed respectfully to Colin, then raised his head, looked at Jennifer next to him, and ordered: "Go see off Your Excellency Colin, Jennifer."
Although Jennifer is relatively strong, she is only thirteen years old, and she is only a girl.
DeWilt thought to himself that the door of the secret room has been opened, so she won't be needed for the time being, so why not send Colin off, maybe it's unintentional, and it can bring unexpected joy to the Ruen family.
"Yes, grandfather." Jennifer nodded slightly, and walked slowly to Colin.
"Your Excellency Colin, let's go, I will take you out."
She stroked the hair beside her ears, a little afraid to look directly at Colin.
"Well, yes." Colin nodded slightly.
Jennifer is too young, she is at most a younger sister in his heart. Although Senior Sister Lilian looks younger than Jennifer, her actual age is much older. Although Shelley also looks younger, she is also 16-78, which is completely different from Jennifer.
"Let's go."
Watching the figures of the two gradually go away, DeWilt looked away, and led Silas and Alisa into the secret room.
Same as when he came, Colin still walked back home in a disguised carriage.
And Jennifer didn't know if she had received some kind of instructions, so she sent him home. She was obviously very shy, but she still stayed for a while before quietly returning to the palace.
Back to the palace, when Jennifer was still immersed in shyness, Dewiert called her to the secret room.
The protection of the iron door of the secret room has been released. In order to prevent it from being accidentally closed, De Wiert also directed Silas to move a heavy wooden chair to hold it against.
The secret room in front of me has two floors. The first floor is the one that opens the door. There are more than a dozen huge shelves neatly arranged from left to right, almost filling up the entire floor. From the labels on the shelves, it can be seen that they are all Some precious resources such as magic stones or golden flame wheat.
Compared to the crowded first floor, the second floor of the secret room is much empty. There are only three bookshelves on the left hand side, with crystals and books on them.
On the right side of the second floor, there is a huge desk.
Before he disappeared, Erwin would occasionally come here to read some books or write something, and at the same time check the secret room along the way, which is why Delvitt and others called this the second White Tower.
At this moment, Delwitte was standing behind the desk with a solemn expression, holding a few thin manuscript papers in his hands.
Jennifer hurried up to the second floor, looked at Delwitte and asked:
"Grandfather, what do you want from me?"
Derwitt pressed the center of his eyebrows, seeing that Jennifer didn't answer, but suddenly asked with a smile:
"How are you getting along with Colin?"
Jennifer blushed suddenly, Nuonuo said: "It's okay."
Derwitte couldn't help sighing when he saw her like this, knowing that there was probably nothing to do.
"I think I probably know the reason why your great-grandfather disappeared." Delwitt paused and said again,
"Grandfather Erwin and the rest of the family's official wizards went to the Lightless Forest to try to open the 'Secret of the Ancestors' to obtain the complete Loen Meditation ideas and other resources that exist therein.
From the manuscript paper left by your great-grandfather, it can be seen that they have a high probability of success this time, so they brought all the official wizards with them. "
"This operation will not be in any danger. Even if it is unsuccessful, it is just that there is no way to successfully open the secret of the ancestors."
"Grandfather Ke Erwen and the others haven't returned yet. Obviously something happened."
Speaking of this, Delwitte couldn't help sighing, with a cloud of gloom in his eyes, he turned his head and said:
"Jennifer, I asked you to come here because there is one more thing you need to do."
Jennifer looked up.
Silas and Alisa on the side had complicated expressions on their faces.
Before Jennifer came, Delwitte had already told them about his decision and had convinced them, but at this moment, worries still inevitably emerged in his heart.
This is a huge gamble.
If you lose the bet, you will have nothing...
Silas couldn't help but wanted to ask whether he should think about it again.
"The Loen family has no other choice but to gamble!" However, Delwitte seemed to see his hesitation, and said in a deep voice ahead of time.
His eyes slowly moved over Silas and Alisa: "I believe that Jin Yu, he is a principled person, even if he doesn't agree, it won't make the situation worse."
'Promise...What do you want His Excellency Colin to promise? ’ Jennifer looked bewildered.
"I need you to request Colin on behalf of the royal family of Loen, and ask him to rescue Grandpa Erwin."
Derwitt shifted his gaze to her, and said in a deep voice with a stern expression that Jennifer had never seen before,
"Tell him that in return, the Loen family can give everything he wants, golden flame wheat, magic stones, the fourth-order Loen Meditation idea, and even... you."
The immature and shy emotions of a young girl that remained in Jennifer's heart were shattered by the sudden order in front of her eyes, leaving only a daze. Behind her grandfather's slightly cold words, she seemed to see a dark tide coming towards her, which made her almost out of breath. gas.
"Jennifer, this is about the continuation of the family, do you understand?" Del Witt emphasized again, with an extraordinarily serious face, like a gray and white sculpture cut by a knife.
Jennifer opened her mouth, and finally bowed her head in response:
"Yes, grandfather."
