The Luolin ancestral house is located in the southwest of the Luolin Plain, the tributaries of the Luolin River pass, and the land on the banks of the river is fertile, and several farms are distributed.
Descending this tributary leads through a scenic valley where the great Rollin family first originated.
Hundreds of years ago, when the ancestors of the Rollin family were just low-ranking nobles who owned a small village territory, the bloodline of the Rollin family began to spread in this land.
Passed through a black forest with lush greenery on both sides and fresh air.
Along a flat path, you can see the small valley on the left from the carriage, and on the right, you can see a tall tower in the distance, and gradually a spire emerges in the woods, which is the ancestral home of the Rollin family.
The small village of a few hundred years ago no longer exists, and the original ancestral house has been renovated and rebuilt countless times over the centuries and has become quite large A crimson stone wall surrounds a castle made of white boulders quarried from the nearby valley, which is said to have been originally a hill, but it took hundreds of years of stone mining to turn the hill into a valley.
When Chen Daolin and his entourage arrived at Rollin Castle, it was already evening, and a team of axe and lancers rushed out and lined up along the road in front of the castle to greet them.
The Rollin family is a family of martial artists, and the governor of Fritz is also a military minister from the navy, so this way of welcoming with cavalry is quite in line with the identities and status of both parties.
For Lucius, the future grandson-in-law of the Rollin family, the Rollin family was full of sincerity, and when they came to the castle, there were servants waiting in line in front of the door, and when the carriage stopped in front of the castle gate, a servant came forward to open the door and put down the wooden bench.
Chen Daolin refused the support of others, jumped out of the car by himself, and then carried the two girls out of the car with his own hands, and turned around and saw that in a car in front of him, Lucius got out of the car slowly, with a handsome face flushed, as if he was still a little worried.
The Count of Berion, the patriarch of the Rollin family, and the other males of the family were all in office, and only the countess and the count's granddaughter, Lucius's fiancée, remained in the ancestral house.
Therefore, it is natural that it cannot be a female dependant who goes out to greet him, but an elderly housekeeper with gray hair, but his waist is straight, his dress is straight, and his demeanor is serious.
"Dear Young Master Lucius, Madame is waiting for you inside."
The butler bowed to Lucius, then turned his head to look at Chen Daolin next to him, saw Chen Daolin's magician robe, and nodded to him, which was considered a salute.
For the Rollin family, magicians are not such great figures, not because they are from a martial arts family, but because the most legendary and greatest hero of the Empire, Du Wei, was born in this family, and Du Wei once served as the dean of the Imperial Academy of Magic.
There has been such a character, and there is still a lack of magicians in the Rollin family With the butler leading the way, Chen Daolin and Lucius entered the castle together, this building is full of simple and magnificent flavor, the castle made of huge stones, than the castle of the Liszt family, has a little more legendary heritage and majesty.
Because it is a martial family, the castle can always be seen hanging on the walls of various weapons, swords, shields, axes, spears and short spears.
Chen Daolin could see that these things were not just ornaments, but the mutilated damage marks on them, and it could be seen that these weapons were once sharp weapons that had drunk blood Passing through the hall, which was at least two or three stories high, and entering a heavy red door, the servants had retreated, and only the old butler remained in front.
Then Chen Daolin saw the room inside the door clearly.
It was a reception room, and a noble man in a long black dress was standing in front of a chair, smiling at Lucius as he walked in.
She is not young anymore, the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles, and her demeanor is still elegant.
Chen Daolin noticed that beside the chair beside this noble lady, there was a young aristocratic girl.
The girl wore a light green long dress, with a slender figure, red hair, and a noble girl's bun, revealing her long neck, like an elegant swan.
The maiden is undoubtedly beautiful, with pink cheeks and picturesque eyebrows.
It's just that Chen Daolin noticed that although this girl was standing there smiling, her gaze here seemed to have no focus, and although she was just standing in place, she was followed by a young maid, quietly supporting her, as if she was afraid that she would fall.
"Lucius, dear."
The Countess took two steps with her arms outstretched, preventing Lucius from kneeling and saluting, but gave him a warm hug.
The Countess looked at her future son-in-law, her eyes seemed to be very satisfied, and she took his hand and looked him up and down: "I heard that you have finally become a magician, which is really good news." ” As she spoke, the Countess smiled and tilted her head to the side of the person standing behind her, and smiled at the person standing behind: "You see, Master Batia, I said a long time ago that the child of the Fritz family is a smart fellow and will succeed. ” "You're right, I also feel the vigorous magic fluctuations in Young Master Lucius, he will become an excellent magician."
Chen Daolin looked in the direction of speaking, and his heart shook slightly.
Standing behind the Countess was a magician.
The gray mage robe, with a silver badge pinned to his chest, indicated his status as a mid-level mage.
And what made Chen Daolin feel a little strange was that this magician had been standing behind the countess all along, but when he walked into this room, he seemed to ignore this person.
He seems to be a transparent shadow, standing there, but you don't feel his breath at all.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to speak, I'm afraid no one would have noticed him It's a very uncomfortable feeling: he's standing there and isn't using any invisibility, but you can inadvertently ignore the person's presence This batia magician is obviously a magic consultant recruited by the Rollin family, his body is thin and seems to be a magician rarely has a fat man, his appearance is ordinary, but a pair of eyes are extremely spiritual, when this beam of eyes is cast on Chen Daolin, Chen Daolin clearly feels a feeling of being probed by spiritual power.
Involuntarily, he reacted immediately, and his spiritual power immediately spread.
Bhatia smiled lightly, and immediately withdrew the spiritual power of the probe, he bowed slightly to Chen Daolin, performed a standard etiquette between mages, and smiled lightly: "Hello, young mage. ” "Hello, Your Excellency."
Chen Daolin is a low-level, and the other party is a middle-level, and the greetings of both sides are very consistent with their own identities.
"This must be the magic teacher that Master Fritz hired for Lucius."
The countess let go of Lucius's hand, looked at Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a young talent."
Dear Mr.
Mage, please don't be restrained when you come to Rollin's house, you must know that the tradition of the Rollin family is that they are all good friends of magicians. ” "Of course I do."
Chen Daolin smiled politely: "The great Duke Du Wei is the idol of all magicians, and I am naturally no exception.
It was an honour to set foot in the great Château d'Lorraine. ” Thinking of such compliments, the Countess didn't know how much she had heard in her life, and when she heard it, she only smiled mildly and didn't say anything.
"Lucius, come and meet Jill."
The Countess took Lucius by the hand and walked over to the girl.

Jill's face seemed to be a little flushed, and with the support of the maid, she slowly bowed and saluted, and whispered in a soft voice: "Lucius" "Uh, hello, Jill."
Lucius kept his speech as short as possible because of his stuttering.
However, the young man looked at his fiancée in front of him with a red face, and there was some excitement and shyness in his eyes.
Jill's expression seemed to be a little faint, but because of the occasion, her face was flushed, and she said softly: "Lucius, you have come all the way, and you have worked hard. ” After a pause, she said slowly, "I heard that you have finally made a breakthrough in your magic cultivation, and I am very happy for you." ” "Well, I, I thank you."
Lucius seemed a little at a loss.
Then the young man suddenly remembered something, and quickly glanced back at his own housekeeper behind him.
The steward immediately hurriedly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Honorable Countess, Miss Jill, our young master has specially brought some gifts from the East China Sea this time."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a moment later, his own guard brought in a few boxes and placed them on the ground.
"A box of high-quality East China Sea black pearls, ten pairs of five-color coral, and a hundred bottles of spices" The steward quickly read the gift list, but the countess smiled lightly, waved her hand and said: "Governor Fritz is too polite, every time he spends so much, we are world friends, why bother with these vulgar rituals."
In the future, when the children get married, they will be a family, and these customs will be saved if they can be saved. ” Lucius blushed, and couldn't help but sneak to look at Jill, bit his lip, and said, "I, I'm still accurate, prepare one by one" As soon as he was in a hurry, he began to tie knots again when he spoke, and the steward immediately did it for him, and said loudly: "Our young master has specially taken the trouble to find a gift for Miss Jill. ” So saying, the steward himself turned and walked out, and a moment later, when he returned, he was led by a dog with pure white fur.
The dog was strong, but extremely docile, and walked beside the steward, with fluffy hair, and when the steward had stopped, the dog sat quietly with his upper body erect.
"This is something that the young master spent a lot of money to find."
The steward smiled: "In the northwest grassland, the shepherds there are good at raising dogs, and the smart dogs are trained to even herd cattle and sheep instead of the herdsmen, and they can also do many things for them.
This dog was found from the northwest by the young master, the bloodline is pure, and after two years of special training, Miss Jill is inconvenient, and taking this dog with her side to raise it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Chen Daolin's heart moved: Isn't this a guide dog?
Looking at this Miss Jill's eyes, she is really blind without focus.
"Well, Lucius, you have a heart."
The Countess seemed very happy, she lost her eyes, and a maid came over and took the guide dog and sent it to Jill's side, Jill looked calm, squatted down under the guidance of the maid, and touched the docile guide dog, and a smile appeared on the girl's face: "Very nice gift, its fur is really soft."
I don't know what color it is."
"White, white," Lucius immediately excited, "just like your skin."
When this sentence came out, everyone in the room immediately laughed.
Although strictly speaking, this is a bit presumptuous and rude, but this pair of young people has already been decided, and they are fiancés, and it is harmless to say something a little more explicit.
Lucius, who was red-faced and red-eared by everyone's laughter, was at a loss, but Jill looked calm, touched the guide dog, and handed the rope to the maid beside him.
At this time, the butler came and whispered something in the ear of the countess, and the countess nodded: "Please come in." ” A moment later, Panin walked in with his head held high.
Although Chen Daolin is very tired of this guy, he has to admit that this sissy appearance is indeed rich in money.
Broad shoulders and narrow waist, slender and straight, a straight military uniform, and no wrinkles in ironing.
Chen Daolin is really curious, does this guy have to iron his clothes seven or eight times a day, otherwise he would have stayed on the ship for a month, and his clothes would be so fresh and clean Is it true that all these souls sleep standing up?
Panin was full of heroism, walked up to the countess, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Paning Garonin, I have seen the honorable Countess of Lorraine." ” "Hmm."
The countess was much more reserved, and said with a slow smile: "General Panin went to report on his work this time, and he was about to be promoted. ” "The Countess is gracious."
Panin stood up and said in a deep voice: "I'm just a lieutenant general, and I really don't dare to be called a general." ” "With your talent and bravery, I think that in a few years, the empire will definitely add a new general."
The Countess smiled softly.
Panin raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, there was a faint reserve and pride in his expression, as if he was also extremely confident.
"Well, it can be considered lively to have all the young talents come to this old mansion."
The Countess smiled, "If the children are hungry on the way, let's start the dinner." ” The dinner at the Rollin family was not lavish, it was just some ordinary food.
During the meal, Chen Daolin was reluctant to talk much because Paning was there, while Lucius had a mouth disease and naturally didn't speak much, while Paning looked reserved and kept silent.
The meal was very dull.
It was the Bhatia magician, but he always seemed to be looking at Chen Daolin quietly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
