Chapter 309: Magic and Magick
Aurth's feelings were more than Meyer could afford, she frowned tightly, "How did Grandpa reply?"
"Your Grandfather, knowing your nature, didn't make up his mind for you. "
Catherine uttered a sentence that made Meyer's frown for a little relief, but immediately added, "But what your grandpa means is that he wants you to think about it ..."
"What's there to think about?" Meyer gave a slight grunt and was adamant, "I don't agree!"
"My dear Meyer, don't be so quick to refuse!"
Catherine looked at herself to find a window seat to sit down, look natural as if it is the master of general Eric a glance, said, "Anyway, you do not have a boyfriend now, why don't you try to contact Aurth first, that young man is very good ... "
Meyer blankly glanced at her sister-in-law and said, "What favor did that Aurth give you, that you are so focused on helping him speak?"
"What favor could I possibly have?"
Catherine smiled lazily and said, "The benefits have all been taken up by your grandfather! Moreover, it's just an empty-headed benefit ..."
"Oh?"
"Aurth brought a letter from the patriarch of the Geroge family, which says that if your grandfather can set up a marriage between you and Aurth, he will help our Hoffman family to unify Wales. As you know, this is the Hoffman family's expectation for more than a hundred years, and your grandpa simply can't refuse it, that's why he asked me to come and communicate with you first ..."
Although Meyer is a granddaughter, but also the head of the family, Hoffman old man simply can not use his "grandfather" identity pressure, can only use affection to sensitize.
Unfortunately, Meyer is not so "love and respect for the elderly", she did not hesitate to shake her head, "Aunt Catherine. Please tell Grandpa - I make my own decisions on my own, and I don't want anyone else to tell me what to do!"
"I knew it would be like this!"
Catherine laughed softly. Apparently relinquishing her role as a "lobbyist", she only reminded, "You'd better be mentally prepared, your grandfather will never let it go, maybe he will come to see you in person. ... "
Meyer frowned and stopped talking, just quietly walked over to Eric's side and sat down next to him.
Catherine gave them an amused look, got up lazily, and walked over as well, sitting next to Meyer. She pointed to the open-air rooftop ten meters away and said, "See, that guy is the main setter of these fireworks ..."
With her topic, she managed to arouse Eric's curiosity.
Turning his eyes to look, it was a stone building platform, more than fifty square meters wide, on which stood a dozen men and women in robes.
The one Catherine was referring to was the oldest among them - a man in his fifties with a slim figure. A man with a haughty look.
"Who is he?"
Although Eric's question seemed a bit disrespectful to a lady, Catherine didn't seem to care and immediately answered, "That's Europe's most famous fire magician - His Excellency, Grand Magician Peter Malagasy!"
Eric noticed that when Catherine said the phrase "the most famous", the corner of her mouth curled up into a slightly mocking and disdainful smile.
It seemed that there was a story here.
However, Eric didn't intend to figure out this kind of "small problem", but only observed the strength of this Peter's Grand Magician.
Is this the strength of the "Great Wizard" on Earth? Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Tsk, if we were to put it in Celestia, this Peter would only be an intermediate-level magician at most.
The difference between the magic civilizations of these two places is really big. ...
Right at this moment, Grand Magus Excellency Peter suddenly raised his hands.
The people who had been waiting with bated breath understood what he was going to do and gradually quieted down.
I don't know if that Grand Magician Excellency's timing was well picked, or if the heavens took good care of him.
The moon, which was originally hanging in the sky like a basin, slowly disappeared into the clouds, and the sky gradually darkened.
Right after the black curtain enveloped the sky, His Excellency the Grand Magician smiled, stretched out his arms, and spun around, thousands of points of light escaped from his body, rising into the sky with the wind and drifting away.
The points of light all over the night sky became brighter and brighter, and showed various colors, flashing in the night sky, so dazzling and mysterious.
Just as people were in a dream, the other people on the terrace simultaneously unfolded the magic scrolls in their hands. All of a sudden, a piece of fireworks rose in the sky - dazzling and brilliant magical fireworks!
The ladies in the plaza and the attic let out screams of excitement, and the scene was momentarily hilarious.
At this time, Meyer came to Eric's ear and whispered, "How about it, isn't it an eye-opener ..."
Hearing Meyer's slightly smug words, Eric couldn't help but reveal a rather helpless smile.
Seeing Eric's appearance, Meyer continued, "His Excellency, Grand Magician Peter is the top person in the magic world, to be able to see his fireworks in person is too much of an honor ..."
Top figure? Eric skimmed his mouth with a very disdainful expression.
Without thinking about it, Eric's inadvertent expression fell into the eyes of someone who was the protagonist of the fireworks ceremony, His Excellency, Archmage Peter.
This Grand Magician, who had a crush on Catherine, had been keeping an eye on her, and when he saw her and a pair of young men and women gazing at him, he immediately started to perform, trying to use his "powerful" magical energy to impress the beauty's heart.
However, when he turned his head after releasing his magic, he saw the disdain on Eric's face, which, of course, made the proud man extremely unhappy.
What's more, he knew that Catherine was representing the Hoffman family to attend the Knights' Conference, and now a handsome young man was sitting so "intimately" with her, which naturally made him even more uncomfortable, for Meyer between Catherine and Eric, he had already completely ignored him. As for Meyer between Catherine and Eric, he had completely ignored him.
This Grand Magician has already decided that someone is trying to seduce his favorite beauty.
As soon as he thought of this, the Grand Wizard went to the balcony and faced Eric with a stern face.
Catherine was very smart and had already known how this Grand Magician Sir felt about her, looking at his look of wanting to eat someone, she had already guessed what he was angry about.
She also knew something about this Grand Magician Excellency's temperament that was famous in Europe.
For His Excellency the Grand Magician's furious look, Eric still didn't know that he had done something wrong.
However, he didn't care, after all, compared to himself, this Grand Magician is far from being worthy of attention.
Seeing this strange young man's demeanor that put himself in no regard, this Grand Magician's Excellency was not to mention how annoyed he was, frowning tightly, he asked in a deep voice, "What are you disdaining? Are you looking down on my magic?"
Meyer's eyes glazed over, and as she was about to speak, Eric pulled her back and said in a rather bland tone, "Is your magic? I think it should be called 'magic' to be more appropriate!"
His Excellency the Grand Magician's eyes snapped as he said, "From your tone, you seem to know magic as well?"
"You could say that!"
Eric's reply not only made Catherine's eyes light up, but even Meyer's eyes widened. She didn't expect that this martial artist brother with a "Paladin's" stature would also know magic.... Was it a joke, or was it the truth?
"Which master's disciple are you?"
His Excellency the Grand Magician said this is interrogating Eric's origin, all the outstanding magicians in Europe, Peter almost all know. He was eager to see who had taught such an "arrogant" disciple!
"There's no way you've met my mentor."
Regarding Eric's words of truth, the Grand Magician rightfully considered them to be nonsense.
Therefore he said with a cold snort, "If you don't want to tell me where your mentor came from, then are you willing to accept my test, I'd like to see if you have the qualifications to say that my magic is 'magic'."
Eric did not care at all about this Grand Magician's test, but it was Meyer who was worried about this "ungrateful" brother.
However, after this period of contact, she already knew Eric's temperament quite well and knew that he couldn't change what he had decided, at least not because of himself, so Meyer just looked at Eric with concern.
In the same way as Meyer, Catherine's eyes also fell on Eric's.
Only, there was no concern in her eyes, only curiosity and probing.
In front of Catherine, who came from a knight family, the Grand Magus seemed to have a "chivalrous demeanor", and did not intend to deliberately make things difficult for Eric, but tested Eric according to the test standards of a Grand Magus.
With a loud incantation and a series of complicated gestures, a dark red fireball slightly smaller than a volleyball appeared between his two hands.
The sound of the Grand Magician's incantation attracted a large number of nearby onlookers, who didn't know what was going on, but simply wanted to watch the action.
When they saw the fireball that appeared out of nowhere in Peter's hands, they all let out cries of amazement.
His Excellency the Grand Magician was very pleased with himself, and after glancing at Catherine and realizing that there was no expression on her very charming face, he slightly collected himself and said to Eric, "See? This is my 'magic', as long as you can do the same, I will spare you, otherwise, you should not blame me for bullying the small with the big ..."
