I have a magical world

They were riding in a luxurious two-wheel carriage with soft interior decoration.

Hanging high outside were two flags holding birds on their wrists.

This is the city emblem of the city of Magtan, and is often used as the status flag of Baron Bezos Chebman in the city.

Carriages flying flags could pass through the gates of several circles in the city unimpeded.

Ophelia sat in her original position, lifting the gauze curtain from time to time to look at the scene outside.

From the third circle to the core area in the first circle, one has to pass through less than half of the city.

Chen Xuan didn't squint, but silently looked at the snake waiter sitting opposite with a sinister look on his face.

This guy had his eyes closed, his arms clasped in front of him, and he seemed to hold his chest and head high, paying great attention to his posture.

It's just that snakes are naturally evil and gloomy in appearance, and they don't look like good things.

So Mr. Chen activated [Insight] by the way.

[One of Baron Bezos’s butlers, Snake Man Ogne Reeves]

The first time [Insight] I only got rough information.

Chen Xuan took a look and started again.

The golden subtitles appear again, this time in more detail.

[A hostile snake man who usually serves the trysts of Ursula and Baron Bezos]

…

After reading the information fed back by [Insight], Chen Xuan suddenly had a clear idea.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the snake man named Ogne Reeves suddenly opened his eyes.

A pair of dark yellow vertical pupils contracted and then relaxed.

This guy gave Chen Xuan a cold look, and then closed his eyes again.

Ophelia looked at the snake man, then tilted her head.

The master and servant communicated vaguely through their eyes and decided to remain silent.

The sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground and the friction of wheels running over the ground echoed in the carriage.

However, the driving process was not too bumpy, at least it was much better than Chen Xuan imagined.

Apparently the carriage they were sitting in was not as simple as it seemed.

As the lord of Magtan City, Baron Bezos, it is not difficult to get a few carriages specially built with rune technology.

The car ride ended in this silent and awkward atmosphere.

The carriage passed two city gates one after another, and after entering the first circle, it headed towards the Baron's Castle in the core area.

The road leading to the core area is very wide and can accommodate at least six horse-drawn carriages.

The ground is paved with huge square stones, filled with some kind of clay that becomes harder after drying.

Therefore, you can see many cracks on the ground from time to time.

But the road itself is generally clean and smooth, at least much better than the roads in the second and third circles.

The surrounding buildings are also taller, and there are fewer houses mixed with wood and stone. Most of them are stone spire buildings with columns, with a floor height of about 2 to 5 stories.

Occasionally there will be a round tower twenty or thirty meters high, with archers holding longbows standing guard above.

A striking red dividing line was drawn in the middle of this road, dividing it into two.

Many state soldiers and lightly-armed riders were divided into small teams and conducted careful and careful patrols in the area.

The closer to the core area, the denser the surrounding defense towers are.

Just from where Chen Xuan and Ophelia were, they could see seven or eight towers along the way.

Each tower can be transformed into a battle fortress and defense node in times of emergency.

Moreover, these towers are of different heights, so standing nearby does not seem out of place.

Lightly armed crossbowmen stood on the short tower, and several medium-sized crossbow machines were also arranged.

All the crossbow machines were equipped with crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm, and they were all pointed diagonally at the sky.

There is also a safety device at the spring mechanism to ensure against accidental firing.

Only when entering wartime, the safety of these crossbows will be opened.

The carriage moved along the road without being interrogated by any state troops.

In this case, they quickly arrived at their destination.

There is also a garden outside the actual baron's castle.

The entire garden is enclosed with a stone fence.

There are entrances and exits in four different directions.

Each entrance and exit is almost ten meters wide, which corresponds to the streets in four directions.

The gate is pushed by slide rails laid on the ground. It is a hollow and carved iron gate.

This type of iron gate is mostly decorative and has little defensive power at all.

Don't really break out into a fight, just prepare a few groups of horse resistance in advance and you can quickly block the entrance and exit.

And the castle itself has excellent defense capabilities.

It was a paramilitary residence built by nobles for war purposes!

There are not only "concentric structures" with polygons as the main body, but also multiple curtain walls and commanding towers.

It can be quickly transformed into a battle fortress without modification during wartime.

There is also a circle of decorative flowers planted around the stone fence on the outside of the garden.

The castle is located in the center of the garden.

The carriage drove in from the gate at the end of the road and walked along the path inside the garden for another two or three minutes before arriving at the large stable next to the castle.

The gardens around the castle are more like a small town or a group of buildings.

In addition to the towering castle itself, there are also large stables, warehouses, and pools.

There are also several flat-looking two-story stone buildings located on the left and right sides of the castle.

After getting off the carriage, the snake steward Ogne Reeves personally led the way.

In front of the main gate of the castle, a red carpet has been laid out, and it is also covered with flower petals and fragrant flower dew, which fills the air with an extremely rich aroma.

A beautiful maid wearing a maid uniform stood waiting at the door.

Several well-dressed and well-groomed snake waiters took the initiative to greet them.

Standing in the center of the door was a middle-aged man in a formal dress. He was smiling but did not come forward to greet him.

The snake waiters, together with the snake steward Ogne Reeves, welcomed Chen Xuan and Ophelia to the end of the red carpet.

"Standing in front of you is the lord of Magtan City, the baron of the Kingdom of Duroa, and the continuation of the glory of the Chebman family..."

"...Lord Bezos Chebman!"

After a series of fancy titles, the snake man finally announced the name of Baron Bezos and at the same time made way to the red carpet.

Baron Bezos, who was standing at the door, stepped towards them.

The master and servant also stepped forward one after another.

The two parties happened to meet in the middle of the red carpet, and Chen Xuan stood half a step behind Ophelia.

After all, his role is to be the personal guard of the half-elf lady.

The private banquets of Naroa human nobles have their own set of corresponding etiquette procedures.

These are essential.

Baron Bezos came to stand in front of Ophelia.

The smart and beautiful half-elf eldest lady lifted her skirt and bowed slightly.

Then the baron took her right hand, brought it to her lips and kissed it gently.

"Welcome, beautiful Miss Ophelia."

In response, Ophelia just nodded with a smile and said nothing more.

Chen Xuan was silently sizing up Baron Bezos' appearance.

He looked to be no more than 40 years old, and his hair and temples were already gray.

But he takes good care of himself, his face is plump and firm, and his skin is very smooth.

The beard on his face was cleanly shaved, and his eyes were full of energy.

This makes Baron Bezos look very energetic.

He wore a top hat with a cocked brim. After greeting Ophelia, he only glanced at Chen Xuan, who was wearing an iron mask, and walked towards the castle as usual.

The maids and waiters followed closely behind.

When everyone entered, the castle door was closed.

The dinner was still being prepared. Chen Xuan and Ophelia first followed Bezos to the lobby on the first floor.

As the main body of the castle, there are four floors.

Starting from the second floor, each floor has more than thirty rooms, as well as terraces, halls, bathrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, emergency armaments and warehouses for storing food.

The decoration is extremely luxurious, with a bright white crystal stone magic chandelier above the head and a soft carpet under the feet.

Decorative oil paintings hang on the walls, and there are also decorative stands with various small statues.

Baron Bezos led them to the hall.

There is a large oval round table and a dozen chairs.

Everyone will settle here for now.

The Baron sat at the head of the table, and Ophelia sat at his right hand.

As for Chen Xuan, he was not even qualified to sit down and could only stand against the wall like the snake waiters.

But he deliberately leaned behind Ophelia.

Baron Bezos looked at him and frowned, but in the end he didn't say much.

If this guy was smart enough, he should be able to see something unusual about Chen Xuan.

The sudden rise of Ophelia must have someone to guide her.

Then the personal guard she brought, Baron Bezos knew that it was not simple even if he thought about it with his buttocks.

"The dinner still needs a while to prepare."

"Miss Ophelia, why not stay in the castle tonight."

"I will arrange a suitable room for you."

"This is the safest and most comfortable residence in the entire Magtan City."

As the owner of the castle, Baron Bezos said politely.

But it was impossible for Ophelia to stay here.

She smiled appropriately, pursed her lips and answered in a very soft voice.

"Mr. Bezos is too kind."

"It is an honor to receive your hospitality."

At this point, she paused for a moment, and then continued after seeing some changes in Bezos's eyes.

"But the caravan still has a lot to do."

"So we can't stay overnight tonight."

She looked very "sincere" with a regretful expression and raised eyebrows.

Baron Bezos was actually not surprised by this answer.

But Ophelia's reaction was too decisive, which forced him to re-examine the young girl.

Before that, whether in his own cognition or in Ursula's biased introduction, Ophelia was a young, careless and naive young girl.

In their eyes, Ophelia was able to build a caravan of white roses in a few naroya days, and a nearly endless supply of magic tears could be continuously supplied to the market.

This ability to attract money even exceeds the colchicum business group that Ansetus has worked hard for many years!

Baron Bezos absolutely does not believe that there is no mysterious force behind it.

But now that the two sides have met, he has slowly changed his previous views.

Because Ophelia's reaction was both appropriate and calm.

There was no hint of timidity on her face, only calmness.

"Haha, okay then."

He replied calmly.

Then there was casual chatting.

The mysterious disappearance of Ansetus was also mentioned.

Baron Bezos tried to find clues about the disappearance of Ansetus in Ophelia.

But he is destined to be disappointed, because Ophelia really does not know the truth of the matter.

When she talked about it, there was nothing but sadness on her face.

The two parties chatted for more than half an hour, until the snake steward returned to the hall and announced that the dinner was ready.

Baron Bezos stood up, took Ophelia's arm and walked towards the restaurant.

Chen Xuan followed them carelessly.

As long as the other party doesn't take the initiative to drive him away, he will continue to follow them shamelessly.

When the large door was pushed open, Chen Xuan felt his eyes light up.

Compared with the living room, the banquet hall in front of you is much more spacious and bright.

This banquet hall is very large, twice the size of the reception room, and can be used to host banquets for hundreds of people.

There are also four small terraces on one side of the hall.

A long banquet table has been placed in the center.

There are also some empty front tables on both sides, with several sets of goblet holders on them.

This banquet hall can host both banquets with a smaller number of people and buffet-style cocktail receptions.

Today's layout obviously falls into the category of ordinary banquets.

The long table is already filled with delicacies.

Two portions of one dish are placed on the left and right sides of the dining table.

There are two sets of plates and a tall wine glass on each seat, as well as cutlery, napkins and other tableware.

The pretty maids were wearing tailor-made maid uniforms and were standing by each seat with public cutlery in their hands.

Separate appetizers and drinks have been placed in front of the dining table, waiting for the guests to take their seats.

The fat Baroness was holding a conversation at the table with the red-haired Ursula in a low-cut evening dress.

Wait until Baron Bezos leads Ophelia into the banquet hall.

There was a brief silence.

Ophelia said hello to Mrs. Zuzana first.

The other party acted relatively coldly, but was not rude.

As for Ursula, she was simply ignored by Ophelia.

The eyes of both parties looked at each other with a life-or-death meaning.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Baron Bezos quickly made peace.

"Take your seat first!"

"We'll talk after we finish the dinner wine!"

Under his greeting, everyone took their seats.

Ophelia sat opposite Ursula with a grim expression.

Mrs. Zuzana sat with Bezos.

Chen Xuan was not qualified to serve, so he could only watch first.

Looking at the dishes on the table, he habitually activated [Insight] one by one.

After a while, he suddenly froze.

…
