Chapter 29029: Fernandi Family
Western Territory, Blackstone Castle.
Blackstone Castle was exceptionally lively today. The corridors, courtyards, and aisles were filled with people, including servants, cooks, and grooms. Almost everyone in the castle had come. There was even a steady stream of people coming from the town, surrounding the huge castle.
There was only one reason why everyone was so eager to gather here. The character that only appeared in the legends of countless bards came to the castle.
wizard!
"Is that the wizard? He looks so young!"
"Hehe, he's really handsome."
"Yingjun, you little slut, I heard that wizards are immortal, maybe he is actually an old man in his eighties or nineties."
Are you really that curious? Luo Xi frowned inadvertently. It was really uncomfortable to be watched by people like this, just like a monkey in a zoo.
He suddenly understood why wizards were reluctant to reveal their identities when they were in the human world. In addition to regulations, boredom was probably also an important factor.
"Okay, stop gathering here!" At this moment, a voice rang out.
Master Carol, who was walking beside Luo Xi, shouted at the people around him, "There's nothing to see. Go do your own thing."
The crowd then reluctantly dispersed.
Carol then said to Luo Xi with an apologetic look: "I am very sorry, Master Wizard. It is my fault for not being strict with my subordinates. What my servants did today brought shame to the entire Fernandi family."
Luo Xi took a look at the young nobleman. He was actually about the same age as him, only seventeen years old this year. However, he was very skilled and sophisticated in observing people's expressions and dealing with people. Luo Xi felt that compared to himself, he was more like a time traveler.
The descendants brought up with orthodox aristocratic education are really different. Children from ordinary families would probably have a hard time even herding sheep at that time.
Feeling emotional, Luo Xi shook his head and said, "It's okay, I understand."
Carol said: "It was my fault for not making the arrangements carefully. A mistake is a mistake. I will make amends later."
Luo Xi said: "These are all small matters, let's do the main business first."
Carol nodded: "Your Excellency is right."
Under Carol's guidance, Luo Xi went straight to a room on the top floor of the castle.
This is obviously the bedroom of the castle owner. The room is quite spacious, about forty or fifty square meters. In the middle is a large bed several meters wide. The bed is covered with white sheets and quilts, which should be velvet and look soft.
There are all kinds of furniture including cabinets, coffee tables, sofas, and several servants are taking good care of the room.
There was a man lying on the big bed, he looked to be in his forties or fifties, his complexion was very bad, full of pain, and he seemed to have fainted.
This is the owner of the castle and the lord of the entire west, Earl Fernandy of York.
York Fernandi is the sixteenth successor of the Fernandi family and also the first Earl of the West. It was under his leadership that the Fernandi family was promoted from Viscount to Earl and reached the peak of its power.
Twenty years ago, in the Young Lions' War for the crown, York Fernandi stood on the side of the third prince Edward, and defeated the first knight of the second prince at the time, Holy Sword Kaia, with a single sword in the Duskwood, clearing the way for the third prince to enter the royal capital.
After his coronation, Edward returned the favor by marrying the daughter of the declining Earl of the Valley to Fernandy, and granted him a large tract of fiefdom in the west that was originally under the control of the second prince, thus promoting him to the rank of Earl.
The Fernandi family also became the sixth actual earl of the Kingdom of Karel and one of the most powerful families in the kingdom.
However, at this moment, this former great knight of the kingdom, a powerful human who was ranked in the top five in terms of strength, had already reached sunset. He could only lie in bed like this, unable to even take care of his own urination and defecation.
The entire Western Territory began to become unstable because of him. "My father is here, please go and see him."
"Before, he could wake up for one or two hours every day, and even eat on his own when his condition was better. But he fell into a coma the day before yesterday and has not woken up since then."
Carol looked very anxious and seemed to be genuinely concerned about his father's well-being.
This is not a lie.
Count Ferdinand had four wives and many children. His first few wives were from powerful aristocratic families. Only Carol's mother was a tavern dancer. Neither of them had a formal wedding. Carol's identity was proved to be an illegitimate child only later.
Since Carol was not high in the line of succession and had no support from his maternal family, there was basically no possibility for him to inherit the title.
Because of this, when the Earl was seriously ill, his brothers were busy preparing for war and deploying troops in preparation for the future fight for inheritance, but he was the only one thinking about how to cure his father.
Since the Earl fell seriously ill, he has been running around basically by himself these days. Finally, when he had no other choice, he found the copper plate hidden in the secret room of Blackstone Castle based on the family's classics and legends.
Originally, he was just hoping for a miracle, but he didn't expect a miracle to really happen. "Don't worry, sir. I'll take a look first." Luo Xi nodded and comforted him. There was nothing to worry about. There was a huge gap between wizards and mortals in terms of curing diseases and saving lives.
Many diseases and terminal illnesses that torture mortals to death are nothing in the eyes of wizards. They can be easily solved with a spell, a bottle of magic potion or even a spell.
Healing is a separate subject in the field of wizards, called "Life Science", which is one of the key compulsory subjects and is related to the wizard's promotion and even life extension.
Because of this, basically every wizard can heal, and Luo Xi is the best among them.
After all, he had the desire to heal his brother's legs, and he had put a lot of effort into related healing spells in the past three years. Among the apprentices of the same period, there might be other apprentices who could compete with him in other subjects, but he was definitely the number one in healing.
Sitting down beside the bed, Luo Xi first observed Count Fernandi's current condition. In fact, the methods used to treat mortal diseases are the same in most cases.
Whether it is cough, fever, smallpox, sepsis or even the Black Death, they are all treatment techniques, just like antibiotics on Earth that can cure everything. The treatment techniques here can also cure almost all physiological diseases of mortals.
However, Luo Xi still habitually tried to find out the cause of the other person's illness, which would also help him accumulate experience and increase his knowledge.
"Complete a symptom observation carefully, time point + 5 days."
"Um?"
At this moment, Luo Xi suddenly saw something strange. There were some black spots on Count Fernandi's chest.
He didn't know what these black dots were exactly, but he felt a faint reaction from them.
Elemental reactions.
