Just as Richard was making the mimicry metal, the messenger from the royal family also arrived at the door of the Knight family.

The messenger was a griffin knight who descended from the sky. As one of the representatives of the royal family, the knights of the Knight family were naturally very familiar with him and immediately invited him into the reception room.

After a while, Stephana walked over to Richard, handed him a piece of paper that looked like an invitation, and said softly, "The royal family sent someone over, saying that the royal wizard Corian wants to see you, and asked you when is a suitable time."

"Wizard Coreen?" Richard asked doubtfully.

He took the invitation, opened it and started reading.

On the light yellow invitation, a line of simple golden words slowly appeared.

"We cordially invite Richard Clavier, the wizard of the Ignis School, to come to the palace garden of the Kingdom of Heron for a gathering, Corian Bennings."

Stephana couldn't help but smile softly. She then remembered that her master was only eighteen years old and had only been a formal wizard for less than half a year. Naturally, he didn't know much about the royal family's situation. She immediately explained, "Wizard Coreen, full name Coreen Bennings, is a first-level high-level wizard. He is a wizard of almost the same period as my ancestor Hiat. At the same time, he is also the most powerful wizard in the royal family's direct bloodline."

Richard nodded after listening to this. The royal family was well-informed.

It seems that the royal family may already know some of my affairs in the Knight family, otherwise Wizard Coreen would not have contacted me.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of the other party on the invitation, it is also quite friendly.

"Master, are you going to accept the invitation?" Stephanie looked at Richard curiously.

Richard pondered for a moment, nodded, turned to Stephanie and said:

"Then tell the royal messenger to set the time for tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the royal gardens to visit this wizard Corian."

Originally, he planned to ride the horned eagle to Crab Claw Peninsula with Stephania after completing the preparations.

Because the route was cut off, neither he nor Meilo could successfully go to the Loras Peninsula in the Wetlor Continent. If he went there, he could see if he could help Daenerys resolve the dispute with the sea wizard.

The last time Richard and Daenerys fought Shadra the Spider Woman, he was pretty much just a spectator, relying on the woman to fight in the front.

This time, it should be different.

"After all, they are the royal family of the Kingdom of Helun. It is naturally difficult to refuse their invitation."

Richard said this, but he had another reason in his heart that he didn't say out loud, that is, this wizard Corrien must be Daenerys's ancestor.

For some things, it is much easier to break through the fortress from the inside than to force it from the outside.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Richard's lips.

Stephanie looked at her master's expression suspiciously, feeling that something was not right.

I have to say that women sometimes have a natural sensitivity in this regard.

"Master, can I accompany you there?" Stephanie said in a tender voice.

"No need! I can go by myself. Stephanie, please prepare the potions and materials needed for the battle. If we go to the continent of Vetrole, I think many materials may be difficult to find by then."

"Also, notify Hiatt and ask her to collect more information about Crab Claw Peninsula."

Richard immediately shook his head and refused Stephanie's invitation to go with him.

Early the next morning.

study.

Richard drank another bottle of fluctuation suppression potion to hide his true mental fluctuations.

At his age, it was shocking enough that he was promoted to a formal wizard. If people found out that he was at a high level, it would be too shocking.

After the Big Ben of Pentos struck nine times, the royal carriage arrived at the door of the Knight family residence.

"Master, the golden carriage of the royal family coming to pick you up has arrived. Look." Stephanie approached Richard and said.

Richard nodded, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Well, let's go."

Don't underestimate a noble wizard like Hiat Knight. Although he is not very powerful, he has collected a lot of good things.

For example, the book he is reading now, "Introduction to Elementary Fire Runes", is a relatively rare book about rune skills.

As far as Richard could remember, he had never seen this book in the library of the Ignis School.

Although this book is not a rune encyclopedia, nor does it cover intermediate and advanced runes, it only talks about the fire rune among the primary runes.

But the content starts from the Burning Rune, then talks about the Blazing Rune and the Ignite Rune. It can be said to be step-by-step and easy to understand. It is a very good introductory book for learning runes.

"Master, it seems that the royal family attaches great importance to you. The carriage sent to pick you up this time is actually pure gold." Stephanie said with a smile.

"Oh! Is there anything special about this?" Richard asked with a little curiosity.

Stephanna nodded and said, "Of course. The pure gold carriage is the highest standard reception vehicle. Not only is it luxuriously decorated, it is usually used to receive the king of a country."

"For example, when the royal heirs of other countries, such as the Prince of Green, come to visit, the royal family of the Kingdom of Heron only arranges a silver carriage with gold rims."

"If we wait again, it will be the silver carriage."

Stephanie was quite familiar with these etiquette aspects and explained them in detail.

Richard smiled and said nothing.

This feeling of being respected is very good, especially when you are a royal family.

When Richard arrived at the door, he saw four tall and snow-white horses pulling a pure gold carriage with graceful lines, waiting quietly.

The carriage was surrounded by a team of guards dressed in gorgeous costumes.

When the guards saw Richard coming out, except for one person who opened the door, the rest immediately stood in two rows to welcome Richard onto the carriage.

The series of steps were performed with extreme skill, as smooth as flowing water. One could tell at a glance that this guard must have practiced this kind of welcoming ceremony frequently.

Richard nodded slightly.

I thought to myself, “Not bad!”

He had never enjoyed such honorable treatment in his previous life. This time he finally felt the treatment and feeling of a head of state traveling.

After Richard got on the carriage, the golden carriage, escorted by the guards, slowly moved towards the top of the mountain. ——In the study of a three-story building in the royal back garden.

A kind old man with white hair and beard looked at the information on the desk for a while, put down the lens in his hand, turned to a gray-robed apprentice beside him and asked, "Is the wizard Richard here?"

"Teacher, the pure gold carriage has picked up Wizard Richard and is heading this way now. It will arrive in about a quarter of an hour." The middle-aged man in gray robe said respectfully.

The old man nodded. What he was just reading was the information about Richard Clavier.

Richard's first impression on him was that he was young and talented.

An eighteen-year-old official wizard is considered a top genius in any kingdom on the continent of Bias.

Even in the other continent of Vitrol, where geniuses abound, he is one of the most prominent figures.

This wizard Richard is one of the people that the Bennings family needs to befriend.

Individuals, families or forces with potential are all objects with which the royal family needs to strengthen emotional ties.

The Bennings family was able to maintain their rule over the Heron Kingdom not by relying on absolute strength.

Because in terms of absolute strength, any medium-sized or larger wizarding school can deal a devastating blow to the Bennings family.

This is also the rule followed by most royal families in the seven kingdoms of the Bias continent.

"Let's go and meet this wizard Richard." Corian said as he slowly stood up.

"Instructor, the other party is just a new wizard at the initial level of the first level. I can just go and greet him, right?!" the middle-aged apprentice at the side asked in confusion.

Corrine shook his head slowly and said, "No, this young man is very different and has extraordinary means."

Yesterday, he received a secret letter from the royal shadow guard, saying that something earth-shattering had happened to the Knight family.

Hiatt, an old fellow who was almost of the same generation as him, was willing to give up his power and hand over the position of the family elder to a younger descendant, Stephanna.

The crux of the matter is that this matter is completely contrary to the information I received half a month ago.

Half a month ago, the royal shadow guard received news that Hiat had secretly imprisoned a new wizard who had just returned to the family. It was said that she wanted to deprive the other party of his rich blood essence and transplant it to herself, thereby gaining the effect of prolonging her life.

The royal family secretly monitors all the hereditary nobles within the kingdom, and the purpose is of course to maintain the stability of the kingdom.

To some extent, Hiat's actions have had a certain adverse impact on the stable rule of the kingdom.

Just when the royal family was still hesitating whether to interfere with Hiatt's ceremony at the critical moment, they received news that a major change had occurred in the Knight family again.

The key to this is the wizard Richard who suddenly appeared in Pentos two days ago.

Coreyon had every reason to believe that there must be something special about this wizard Richard, otherwise it would be impossible for the old man Hiatt to make such a decision.

Entrance to the royal gardens.

Corrin was standing at the garden gate holding a gray wooden staff. Richard's first impression of him was that he was a replica of "Gandalf".

It also completely fits the ordinary people's impression of a kingdom guardian.

It would be a lie for Richard to say that he was indifferent to the fact that a high-level wizard, the guardian of the kingdom, the barrier of the Bannings royal family, and an elder was so thoughtful as to wait for him at the entrance of the garden.

After Richard got off the pure gold carriage, he quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Lord Corrine, why are you waiting for me here? I am so ashamed."

Long before he came, Richard had obtained information including portraits of several key figures in the royal family from Hiatt, so he recognized them at the first moment.

"This must be the wizard Richard from the Ignis School. He is so young and promising!" Coreyon said with a kind smile.

"As a member of the Kingdom of Heron, it is a great honor for you to be promoted to a formal wizard at the age of eighteen."

"Lord Corian, you are too kind. You are the glory of the Kingdom of Heron." Richard also complimented with a smile.

"Wizard Richard, let's go sit in the garden for a while."

In the garden, Richard and Corrine sat sideways.

Between the two of them was a small coffee table, on which were placed some exquisite desserts, fruits and a pot of honey grapefruit tea.

The teapot and teacup are both hollowed-out golden in shape, looking luxurious and exquisite.

Richard was facing a direction that afforded him a bird's-eye view of the entire Griffin City of Pentos. In front of him was a vast plain and a winding river, and on both sides were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in the royal back garden.

There is a beautiful view ahead and on both sides!

Richard couldn't help but admire in his heart: "Sure enough, when it comes to enjoyment, the wizards in the kingdom are really much better than the wizards in the school."

"Wizard Richard, this is a small gift."

Corian took out a roll of luxurious silk with gold woven on both sides from his arms.

Richard took it with a puzzled look and opened it directly. He saw the following words written inside: "In order to reward Dick Clavel for his heroic performance in the battle to exterminate monsters, Baron Dick Clavel is specially granted the title of Guardian of Rosby County and promoted to hereditary viscount."

Dick Clavier was the name of Richard's father.

Sure enough, old ginger is still spicy.

Richard had already guessed the purpose of this meeting, and he believed that the royal family was most likely trying to win him over.

But I didn't expect that the royal family would not directly win me over, but start with my own family and save the country in a roundabout way.

I only heard Correen continue with a smile: "Wizard Richard, one of my descendants, Wizard Daenerys, mentioned your father and family when she returned last time. They played an important role in the battle to eliminate monsters."

Richard's heart skipped a beat when he heard Daenerys' name, but he paid attention to Corinne's expression and saw nothing unusual.

It seems that this ancestor of Daenerys probably doesn't know what happened between him and Daenerys.

This made him feel relieved.

Richard smiled slightly and said, "Lord Kingdom Guardian, as a member of the kingdom's nobility, it is our duty as local nobles to encircle and suppress monsters."

"Here, on behalf of my father and the Clavel family, I would like to thank you and the royal family for recognizing the Clavel family."

Naturally, there was no reason for Richard to refuse this gift.

As the two chatted, Richard was surprised to find that Corinne was actually a rare rune master.

Richard's attainments in alchemy also amazed Corian, and this was the result of Richard hiding his shortcomings.

After a while, a gray-robed apprentice came over with a gray wooden box, placed it respectfully on the coffee table, and slowly opened it.

Three shining, fist-sized magic crystals appeared in front of Richard.

Coreyon said with a smile: "Wizard Richard, these three magic crystals are an encouragement from the royal family. I hope you can keep up the good work and go further and further on the path of becoming a wizard."

This is where things come to this.

Even a fool would know that the royal family is trying to win him over.

Richard was thinking in his heart: "In fact, if you knew the relationship between Daenerys and me, you would know that these things are unnecessary."

Richard smiled and shook his head: "Lord Corrine, this gift is too valuable. I really can't accept it. However, I happen to have a magical weapon here. I hope you can repair it."

After hearing the first half of Richard's words, Corian was still wondering if Richard felt that three magic crystals were too few.

But after hearing the second half of Richard's words, he confirmed that Richard did have something to trouble him with.

"Oh, of course, if I can do it."

After Corian took the Mutation Summoning Staff from Richard, he examined it carefully.

"It's not a big problem. It just takes some time. I should be able to fix it in about half a month." Coreyon said confidently.

This surprised Richard quite a bit. He didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise during the royal trip.

"That's great, thank you Lord Coreyon." Richard's brows immediately lit up and he bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

If this magical weapon can be repaired, it should be possible to remove the limitation of the only abomination when summoning undead creatures.

At the same time, this magical weapon can also reduce the difficulty of Richard communicating with the world of the dead and increase the success rate of summoning.

The most important thing is that Richard will be able to summon abominations and other undead summons at the same time, further enhancing his combat effectiveness.

Richard had already studied this clearly when he was in Tug City.

Otherwise, he would not have posted a quest in the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, hoping to find a Rune Master to repair this low-level magical weapon.
