Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 348 The Strange Disease
After Angel walked into the hall, Leon Rik greeted him, introduced himself, and invited Angel to take a seat.

Angel glanced at the guests, Cyndia accepted the scrutiny calmly with a smile on her face, while Magda blushed and lowered her head slightly when Angor glanced over.

Leon Rick pointed to the middle-aged lady on the right seat and introduced, "This is my wife, Cyndia."

Then he pointed at Magda and sighed softly: "Magda, what are you doing with your head down, why don't you come over and apologize to your lord."

After hearing this, Magda stood up immediately, and bowed to Angelfort shyly: "My lord, it was me last time..."

Before Magda finished speaking, Angel turned his eyes away and looked at Leon Rik: "Save the effort to speak, no need to apologize, those who should be punished have already been punished, and I will not pursue it."

Magda froze on the spot.

Although she said it didn't matter, Angel ignored her the whole time, which made Magda's emotional apology and confession that she had originally planned turned into a flushed face.

——It’s all suffocated.

Angel sat on the seat on the left hand as well as he could, which was the most honorable guest seat besides the host seat in traditional aristocratic etiquette.

"I don't know what your name is?" Leon Rik sat down and began to speak cautiously.

Angor originally wanted to say his real name, but after thinking about it, since he used the code name on the side of the magician, he might as well continue to use it: "Masquerade."

It is very rude to say an unknown code name without mentioning the name.But Leon Rik's expression froze, and he went on with the words: "It turned out to be Master Masquerade. Magda was too rude a few days ago. Although the Lord said not to pursue it, I still feel very uncomfortable as a father. I am here On behalf of the young girl, I solemnly apologize to the adults."

After all, Leon Rik poured wine to punish himself.

Angel did not interrupt his apology this time, which made Magda, who was sitting by the side, feel a little bit of grievance.

After Leon Rik finished his gesture, Angel said with a half-smile: "I accept your apology."

Angel's words stunned everyone.Didn't you say you don't need to apologize earlier?Why do you say now that he accepted the apology?
It took Leon Rik a long time to realize that Angel was turning a corner and saying that he was incapable of teaching daughters. He could ignore his daughter Magda's rudeness with the attitude of an adult not remembering a villain's mistakes, but he could ignore his daughter Magda's rudeness. The main reason for Gerda's rudeness--the family education is not strict, and Angel is actually a clean family.

Therefore, he just didn't pursue Magda's apology; but he only expressed forgiveness for Leon Rik's apology.

None of the people present were fools, and Angel's subtext could be heard.Magda's eyes turned red, and just as she was about to say something, her thigh was held down by her mother, Cyndia, who was sitting next to her.Cyndia glanced at Magda with a warning look, and smiled again when she turned her head.

"Hey, it's all my fault for my inability to teach daughters. There is only Magda, who is used to being arrogant and indulgent. From now on, I will ask the strictest etiquette officer to teach her. In the next six months, I will strictly Fuck Magda until she transforms from the inside out."

What Leon Rick said seemed to be a grounding order, which made Magda, who longed for a free life, wanted to argue immediately, but Cyndia held her down under the table, and Magda could only be wronged in the end Nod.

"Let's stop this topic. You invited me here, isn't it just for this matter?" Angel has no time to waste on family drama.

While talking, Angor picked up the exquisite cup on the table, and Leon Rick immediately signaled the bartender next to him to mix the wine with his eyes, but Angel stopped the bartender, and a magic power was sent out from the internal model.

With a slight shake, the glass is filled with water.

"Alcohol interferes with emotions and disturbs thinking. I prefer plain water to alcohol." In fact, what Angel wanted to say was "tea is my favorite drink", but he was afraid that once he said the words, Leon Rick would really Tea is served.But he was referring to milk tea, not the quirky fermented tea that common aristocrats drank.

Angel's wonderful method of "creating something out of nothing" shocked everyone present.

After a long while, Leon Rik came back to his senses, and he forced himself to be calm and said, "The main reason I invited you here is to apologize, and there are some small things I would like to ask you for advice."

Angel raised his eyes, didn't say anything, but motioned for Leon Rik to continue.

Leon Rik didn't speak immediately, but motioned Cyndia to leave with Magda.Then all the people in the hall were sent away, leaving only the butler to serve.

"I just want to know, is Master Mask the legendary... sorcerer?"

Angle paused for a moment. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Leon Rick if he knew any news about wizards, but he didn't expect that Leon Rick had already asked before he asked.

"Of course, it's fine if you don't answer. It's just my curiosity." Seeing Angel's stature, Leon Rik immediately added, fearing that the other party would be unhappy.

Angel smiled lightly: "Of course you can answer, but before answering, I would like to know, where did the count learn about wizards?"

Leon Rik has no doubts about this question: "My family has lasted for nearly 900 years and has recorded many secrets. There are some mentions of wizards, but in the past I regarded them as legends."

Angel: "Can you show me the information you mentioned?"

Li Angrik was stunned, with a hesitant expression on his face. The family secrets involved many things, some of which were too dirty, and some even talked about the secrets of the royal court, showing it to an outsider... He was a little unable to make a decision.

Seeing this, Angel calmly said, "I am indeed a wizard."

Angor didn't explain the difference between a formal wizard and an apprentice. For ordinary people, it's the same anyway.

Hearing Angel's answer, Leon Rik's eyes were full of understanding and a hint of fear.He closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "I didn't expect there to be wizards in the world, and the rumors turned out to be true."

"The world of wizards and the world of ordinary people will not meet. Generally speaking, wizards will not disturb the lives of ordinary people." What Angel did not explain is that the reason why wizards do not disturb the lives of ordinary people is purely Because the power gap is too big.Have you ever seen someone hostile to ants for no reason?The magnitude is different, so no matter how evil a wizard is, he doesn't bother to meddle in the lives of ordinary people.

Leon Rik was silent for a while: "Master Mask, the secrets of the Griffin family are usually kept by the head of the family, and outsiders are not allowed to watch them according to the family rules."

"If my lord must read it, I can take it out." Leon Rik said this, and carefully said the next sentence that made him extremely uneasy: "However, can I ask your lord for a favor?"

With a family secret, please ask a wizard to do something.Leon Rico himself felt that this was extremely unreasonable, just like a person who took a fancy to the rice ball pushed by the dung beetle and wanted to take it away, would he ask the dung beetle to agree?
Leon Rik's heart was up and down, and he was uneasy.

Angor didn't answer for a long time, and Leon Rik wanted to give up, so he took out the leather scroll that recorded the secret and asked Angel for forgiveness.

But at this moment, Angel said: "I can give you a chance to express your request."

Angel didn't agree or disagree.Leon Rik's cautious request made him seem to see himself not long ago, when he and Honglian were in this unequal position.

He understood the anxiety, but it was not enough to constitute the answer of "agree".

At most, Angor gave Leon Rik a chance to express himself with empathy.As for whether to answer or not, that is another story.

Although Angel did not agree, Leon Rik was still very pleasantly surprised and hurriedly expressed his appeal.

"I want to ask your lord's business, not for my own sake." Leon Rik sighed: "Don't think that Waterglass is beautiful, but as the actual manager of Waterglass, I know that this city still has too much to offer." There are so many places that I can't touch. The things I want are things that I can't touch, and I don't even have a solution."

"You mean the gray forces? Barr?" Angel raised his eyebrows.

"No, no city is completely clean. There is white and there is black, so the existence of Barr is not my worry."

"Then you're talking about... a magician?"

Leon Rick shook his head: "I dare not and am not qualified to ask adults to help us with the matter of magicians. What I said is actually a strange thing that ordinary people can't solve, maybe adults can solve."

"Strange things that ordinary people can't solve?" Angel's curiosity arose in his heart.

"This matter started a year ago..."

A year ago, a man in Waterglass suddenly suffered from a strange disease. After he was sent to the Golden Cross Medical School, he had no symptoms at first, but later on, his body began to weaken, and he was unable to move at first. Unable to speak, eyes glazed over, and finally like a living dead.Obviously there are still signs, and the basic physiological stress is still there, but the whole reaction is a dead person.

Since the strange disease appeared a year ago, there have been more than [-] cases so far.

"All the professors at the Golden Cross School of Medicine were on the move, and some family members even volunteered to donate a 'living dead' for vivisection, but the result of the final autopsy was still no problem."

"So, I would like to ask my lord to take a look, is that okay?"

This request took Angel a little by surprise.Leon Rik said for a long time, the matter of asking is not for himself, but for the people.If there is nothing strange in the middle, it seems that Earl Leon Rick is a clear stream among the nobles.

Angel has basically no concept of treatment.Although he knows a little bit of Chinese and Western medicine, what he studies is theory, and clinical practice can only rely on guesswork.But he is not stage fright, anyway, he does not necessarily really want to agree to this condition.

"The strange disease you mentioned, what is the specific basis for judging it?"

Leon Rick: "I didn't expect my lord to grasp the key point so quickly. The reason why it was judged to be a strange disease is because of the initial symptoms..."

"These hundred patients all have one thing in common."

—they all lost their shadows.
