The city lord can control the power of the sea water because a mermaid fell in love with a human a thousand years ago. After they fell in love, they left the human city and lived in a remote bay.
That is where Snow City is now.
The hurricane belt outside is the best protective shield. No ship can get close. Even if someone can escape by chance, once they are carried to the shore by the sea, there will be nothing left.
The residents of Snow City were rescued little by little by the ancestors of the city lord. From the beginning, there was only one person and one fish, and they gradually developed into a village, a town, and now the Snow City.
The mermaid and the human had five children in total, but only one child inherited all the mermaid's powers and could control the hurricane belt outside.
This ability has been passed down from generation to generation. In each generation, no matter how many children are born, only one can inherit the powerful magic of the mermaid ancestor.
And this generation is naturally the original owner.
This was also the reason why the previous city lord left with his youngest son without worry, because only the original owner's child could awaken the power to control the gale, and all other brothers and sisters had no chance.
This matter is almost known to everyone within the family and even in the entire Snow City.
But it was obvious that someone was unwilling to let it go on like this and had evil intentions. The magic circle in the original owner's memory was the forbidden technique of blood replacement.
According to rumors, this magic can directly transfer the blood, talents, and magical powers of two people to another person.
However, this forbidden technique has only existed in legends. Even the original owner had only seen related records in ancient documents, but he didn't know how to arrange the magic circle specifically.
Since it is a forbidden technique, it naturally comes with a price. Activating the magic circle requires the sacrifice of one thousand souls, and the success rate is only 50%.
"Master, they failed. The original owner and his brother died together, and the thousand people who were sacrificed also died."
Xiao Hei clicked his tongue and shook his head. These people simply lost more than they gained. Not only did they lose themselves, but the magical bloodline of the entire city lord's family was completely cut off, and there was no one who could control the gale on the sea anymore.
From now on, the entire Snow City will be completely isolated from the outside world until it eventually disappears.
Bai Chi nodded slightly, he saw it too.
After the original owner died, his soul did not dissipate immediately, but he witnessed the scene of his brother's body exploding because the forbidden technique failed.
Not only that, the liar who pretended to be the prince was caught by Guan Dai and his soldiers after his deeds were exposed, and then thrown into the lake to feed the fish by the angry people.
No one has a good ending.
Just as I was thinking, there was a knock on the door. Bai Chi was sitting upright behind the desk.
"Come in."
Then a silver-haired old man pushed the door open and came in: "City Lord, the selection of the new housekeeper has begun. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Yes, Bai Chi remembered that the old man with silver hair in front of him was his butler who was about to retire.
And today a new steward will be chosen.
And today, he is only eighteen years old.
It was also the tenth year since my parents left with my younger brother.
The previous city lord left on the original owner's eighth birthday, and from then on, the original owner never celebrated his birthday again.
After a long time, even other people forgot the original owner's birthday.
But in fact, the original owner kept it all in mind. It was for this reason that the original owner refused to attend the butler selection and left it all to the butler to handle.
Bai Chi was about to shake his head, but suddenly something came to his mind. Since there was nothing to do, why not go and take a look?
He raised his right hand, and the cane next to him automatically flew into his palm. The butler took the mink coat from the coat rack at the door and put it on Bai Chi as he went out.
The entire castle is classical and solemn. Since there is only one master, Bai Chi, living there, there are not many servants.
Those who came to participate in the butler selection were waiting in the square in front of the main building. It was winter, the coldest time of the year in the entire Snow City.
However, there were soldiers clearing the snow in the castle every day, and the sun had not yet set, so everyone entered the castle and waited for the final selection of the butler and the city lord.
On the way to the square, the old butler had already carefully introduced the origins of these people.
They are all the most loyal subjects of Snow City, and have studied with the old butler for two years, learning how to be a qualified butler.
When he saw those people, the old butler made a sincere assurance.
"Don't worry, City Lord. Whoever you leave behind will be the best steward in Snow City!"
