Chapter 131: Natural Magic? (First update, 4000 words, more to come in the evening)
Claudia's voice was filled with uneasiness as she stood up and said, "Oscar, Captain Muller, I never heard you were coming to Cober before. Is there something urgent?"
"Hahaha, dear Claudia, of course we are here to see you." Oscar laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Looking for me?" Claudia pressed her hand to her chest. "What's going on?"
Knight Muller responded in a deep voice, his chair making a slight noise as he stood up. "Earl Harold has ordered! As the first heir to the Belvitt family, George is not allowed to participate in the divine baptism at the Woking Temple."
"According to the Earl's orders, Mr. Oscar and I will escort you and Master George back to Lusen immediately!"
"Return to Lusen? No! I don't agree!" Claudia reacted violently, clenching her fists, obviously trying to control her emotions.
"This is the Earl's order, Claudia." Oscar sneered, "The Earl knew your plan the day after you took George away. Give up, it's futile."
"Do you mean to say that you still pin your hopes on this druid who is only level two?" Oscar's narrow eyes swept over Fang Yu.
"This time we brought five regular knights and ten knight squires. Even without these people, Muller, a third-level knight, alone would be too much for a second-level druid to contend with."
Hearing Oscar's words, Claudia's pretty face under the black veil turned pale and she almost collapsed on the chair.
"Excuse me, Lady Claudia. Come! Send Lady Claudia back to her room and take Master George to the Count's room. No one is allowed to approach without my order."
At Knight Muller's command, four knight attendants in light armor filed in from outside the corridor.
"George!" Claudia burst into tears when she saw two waiters dragging the screaming George out of the restaurant.
She stretched out her hand to stop him, but was firmly held back by two knight attendants.
"Excuse me, ma'am, please follow us back to our room."
Two servants, one on each side, grabbed Claudia and dragged her out of the restaurant.
Claudia felt a little bit lucky and looked at Fang Yu with pleading eyes.
But all she saw was Fang Yu eating barbecue while looking curiously between Muller and Oscar, with no intention of intervening at all.
Is it over like this?
Two lines of tears rolled down Claudia's face.
"Okay, I understand. Let me go and I'll walk by myself." Claudia accepted her fate, smiled sadly, and gave up resisting.
The two knights' squires were stunned, but they didn't dare to let Claudia go without permission. They turned their heads and looked at Knight Muller.
Muller hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand. The two knights gently released Claudia's arms. One of the young knights even secretly sniffed his fingertips.
Claudia regained her dignified demeanor, turned to look at Fang Yu, reached out to take off her veil, revealing a pure and flawless face.
"Mr. Githdruid, I'm sorry, I may have to go back on my word about the herbal notes I promised to give you." Claudia, with tears in her eyes, knelt down to Fang Yu again.
"Madam, you should worry about yourself. A druid who participated in the baptism of Woking's divine magic? Hahahaha, as long as the natural holy land he belongs to knows about this, he will definitely be expelled." Oscar's tone was full of sarcasm.
Anyone could hear the hostility in Oscar Belvedere's words. Was he warning him not to help Claudia?
But aren't you being a little too deliberate in playing the villain?
"Okay, take me back to my room." Claudia stood up, maintaining the demeanor of a lady, and followed the two knight attendants out of the restaurant.
"That won't do, Mrs. Claudia. Those notes are already mine." Fang Yu cut off a piece of pork neck, inserted the tip of the knife into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
!!!
Claudia turned around abruptly, and a glimmer of hope and hesitation appeared in her originally desperate eyes.
The look in his eyes was like that of a three-month-old stray puppy that Fang Yu had once rescued.
Oscar stared at Fang Yu closely and said, "Young Druid, this is an internal matter of the Belvitt family. If you want to interfere, I will have to ask you to leave Solis Manor now."
Muller's eyes were shining, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
"Excuse me, Mr. Oscar, but Lady Claudia has already given me the herbal notes left by Lord Edward. Before I get the notes, I will not allow anyone to take Lady Claudia away from me."
Fang Yu picked up the napkin on the table and wiped his mouth, then tapped the table lightly with his fingers. A vine flew out from beside Fang Yu and instantly pulled Claudia from between the two knight attendants to Fang Yu's side.
A gleam of light flashed in Muller's eyes: "Bold!" A cold light flashed, and the vines that bound Claudia broke into two pieces. Muller was about to reach out to grab Claudia's shoulders, but found that the ground he was standing on suddenly shook violently.
Muller lost his balance slightly, and after a slight adjustment, another vine flew out.
At this time, Muller was already behind Claudia. He was worried that if he moved his sword rashly, he would accidentally hurt Claudia. After a slight hesitation, the vines had already pulled Claudia directly into Fang Yu's arms.
Fang Yu took the opportunity to put his arms around Claudia's slender waist. Well, she was not wearing a corset, so it felt good.
"Ah!" Claudia was startled at first, and then she found herself in Fang Yu's arms. When she smelled the masculine scent on Fang Yu, her body softened and her cheeks flushed.
"Druid!" Muller's eyes were filled with murderous intent. "Let go of Claudia! You're seriously provoking the Belvitt family!"
"Come here! Surround this place!"
Following Muller's order, the other five regular knights and six knight attendants waiting outside rushed in with weapons in hand, surrounding Fang Yu and Claudia in the center of the restaurant.
"Madam, you told me before that as long as George mastered the natural magic, you would give me Lord Edward's notes and the two mountains. Is that correct?"
Fang Yu winked at Claudia in his arms and released his left arm from around her. "Madam, your wish has been fulfilled. Please fulfill the agreement."
!!!
Wish fulfilled! ?
George mastered natural magic?
Claudia looked at Fang Yu in disbelief. What was the point of such a lie that would be exposed at the slightest provocation?
No, he just said that he could let George disguise himself as a superhuman. Could that be true? But I didn't see him do anything.
"Hahahaha." Oscar Belvedere sneered, "Young druid, this joke is not funny. George is not a believer in the God of Nature, so it is impossible for him to master the art of nature."
Fang Yu said nonchalantly, "Is this a joke? Why not just bring George over to test him?"
"Knight Muller, order someone to bring George back." Seeing Fang Yu's attitude, Oscar pondered for a moment and said to Muller.
"Sir Oscar, I don't think this makes any sense." Muller looked Fang Yu up and down. "Give me five minutes, and I can take care of this druid."
Oscar waved his hand, his face gloomy. "No, Muller, you have to know that George is the first heir of the Belvitt family and a believer in the God of Light. Although the druid's words are absurd, we can't take any risks."
The entire Belvitt family are believers of the God of Light. The exclusivity of the Church of Light is the strongest among all churches. If George converts to deism, it means that he will completely lose his identity as the heir of the Belvitt family.
There is no doubt that this is earthquake-like news for the entire Belvitt family.
Muller had no choice but to wave to a knight, signaling him to take George back to the restaurant.
Not long after, George, with a terrified face, was brought back by the knight.
After all, George was only fourteen years old and was still a child. He had no idea why Uncle Oscar and Knight Muller, who seemed so kind before, suddenly had a conflict with his mother, and he didn't understand why he was forcibly taken away from his mother by them.
"Mother!" When George saw Claudia, he wanted to pounce on her, but the knight just grabbed him lightly and pulled him back.
"George, this druid just said that you have converted to the God of Nature and mastered the art of nature. Is that true?" Oscar pulled George over and stared into George's eyes.
George was confused. "Converted to the God of Nature? Uncle Oscar, I don't understand what this means. I just participated in the divine baptism in Woking, but I didn't gain any divine power."
"Uncle Oscar, I want to find my mother, can you let me go?"
George begged Oscar timidly.
Oscar breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Fang Yu with a cold smile: "Now the facts are clear. Druid, there is no point in playing tricks. Knight Muller, go ahead and capture this druid."
Muller straightened his body and made a gesture to all the knights. Four regular knights and ten knight attendants approached Fang Yu with weapons in hand.
Fang Yu pointed his finger at the ground and shouted, "Vinculum Virent!"
With Fang Yu and Claudia as the center, dozens of vines as thick as wrists whizzed out from the ground. The ten knight servants had no power to resist and were tightly entangled on the ground by the vines.
The four regular knights could only dodge a few times in a panic and were about to be entangled by the vines.
A cold light flashed in Muller's eyes, and he shouted, "How dare you!"
The knight swung the long sword in his hand, and with a sonic boom that split the air, a burst of sword energy rolled up and chopped directly at the vines.
With a "clang" sound, a huge recoil force came. Muller was caught off guard and his palm became numb from the shock of the sword in his hand. Looking at these vines again, they were not damaged at all!
"This is not an ordinary entanglement technique! Who are you?!" For the first time, a serious look appeared on Muller's face. He shook his wrist inconspicuously and took an attacking posture.
This is certainly not an ordinary entanglement technique, but an entanglement technique performed with Wilder's doting.
Before Fang Yu cast the spell, he had already hidden Wilder's doting in his sleeves.
With Wilder's doting blessing, the first-level entanglement spell has become a fourth-level spell!
A fourth-level spell that can only be cast by mages above level seven!
Obviously, neither Mueller nor Oscar could tell what level of spell this was.
Fang Yu had long discovered that these clergymen also did not have the ability to judge the other party's spellcasting level by sensing the fluctuations of the magic network nodes.
After all, they all cast spells through connections with so-called gods, rather than their own abilities, and the connection channels of the magic network nodes in the main plane have been monopolized by the gods, so they cannot connect at all.
It is very interesting that there is no identification technology.
It makes sense if you think about it. If the gods want to hide the truth about themselves, spells like identification would indeed not be open to these extraordinary priests.
The people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it.
And the art of identification is that you know too much.
However, these people are unable to connect to the magic network nodes, so how do they train their mental power?
It seems that these sixteen thousand years have allowed these people to figure out some new things.
Oscar has already hidden at the door of the restaurant, and it seems that he can escape at any time if the situation becomes bad.
Seeing the expressions of Muller and Oscar, Fang Yu chuckled and said, "Sir Oscar, Knight Muller, can you listen to me calmly now?"
"George, you should have practiced how to communicate with gods, right? Use the methods you have practiced to try to communicate with the god of nature." Fang Yu turned to George and said.
George was already scared silly, and there was no blood on his handsome face. He had never expected that this young druid could so easily kill all the extraordinary people except Knight Muller.
These knights are indeed extraordinary beings, but they are not spellcasters. Instead, they worship the gods they believe in through devout faith and special physical and combat training methods, and the gods bestow divine power on them to improve their combat skills and physical limits.
"Do as I say!"
Hearing Fang Yu's words, George couldn't help but shudder. He quickly closed his eyes and began to meditate using the method he had learned to communicate with gods.
George had not been practicing communicating with the gods for long, less than a few months, and was far from proficient. In addition, he was nervous, so he could only recite the prayer haltingly in his mind.
But even so, after reciting the prayer three times, George felt a shock in his head, as if he felt a small light in his consciousness.
It's a wonderful feeling.
Fire-burning magic, George inexplicably knew what this light spot was, and he also knew that as long as he gently touched this small light spot in his consciousness and recited the corresponding spell, he could cast the corresponding spell!
"I, I have mastered the magic! It's the fire-ignition technique!" George opened his eyes excitedly, stretched out his hand, gently touched the small light spot in his consciousness, and chanted the same spell that was inexplicably transmitted to his brain.
"Ignis Ardens!"
A ball of red flame suddenly emerged from George's open palm!
There were some changes to the last plot yesterday, and a section was deleted.
After posting it and rereading it, I realized that my brain was screwed. I had to write that paragraph. If it continued to develop in that way, it would be so fucking toxic.
The otherworldly plot already lost a lot of readers, and if I write this paragraph again, I guess it will be completely lost.
Fortunately, I discovered that plot is king and you can’t just think about making things happen.
In addition, the main plot has not changed. This part of the story was already set a long time ago. However, after careful consideration, in order to ensure the coherence of the plot and emotions, the fragmented plot that was originally cut in the middle was integrated together. The urban plot was adjusted to after this part of the story.
I will try to update 3 times today and finish this part completely.
