Celestial Mage

Chapter 246 The Second Apprentice: Vandamont (24)

Dumont's White Rock Castle.

Now that he had made up his mind to reverse, Du Meng's attitude towards Rosen naturally took a 180-degree turn.

He urgently organized a rich family dinner, in the name of welcoming his second daughter back to visit his old father, but the main purpose was naturally to welcome Rosen, a new ally.

The dinner party was held in the castle hall. Du Meng was the host and sat at the head of the long table. As a distinguished guest, Rosen naturally sat on the left hand side, and Vivian was on the left side of Rosen.

On Dumont's right are Lord Morrow and his wife.

In the end, there were six men and one woman sitting on both sides of the long table, all of whom were the sons and daughters of Du Meng.

As for Mrs. Dumont, she returned to the Kingdom of God three years ago, and is currently hanging on the family memorial wall beside the hall.

During the dinner, Rosen looked over one by one, and found that there were six men ranging from 37 to [-] or [-] years old, and four of them were married, so they took their wives to the family dinner together.

And the girl looked seventeen or eighteen years old, with picturesque and delicate features, and her figure was slightly slimmer than that of her second sister, Lena Delin, but she was also plump and plump, which made people yearn for her.

She was sitting on the left hand side of the eldest sister, and had been enjoying dinner quietly, with a hint of sadness occasionally visible between her brows and eyes.

Occasionally, when he looked up at Du Meng, or at Rosen, he could vaguely see a trace of resentment in his eyes.

After being looked at for a few times, Rosen already understood that he was happy to be a matchmaker, but the little girl was unwilling to marry Chapolei.

Although this is not a big deal, because the marriages of nobles never consider the personal feelings of their children these days, but Rosen feels that it is still necessary to find an opportunity to settle the matter to avoid unexpected changes.

It won't make Chapolei unhappy, after all, as long as he can think about it, nobles can easily find happiness, and the uncle has always been a person who can think about it.

I'm afraid that the little girl can't think about it by herself, and she will make some Jurassic tragedy.

Of course, it is best to ask this kind of topic in private, and if it is asked during the meeting, it is easy to hurt the friendship between the allies that has just been established.

Du Meng was very excited. He held up his wine glass and toasted Rosen: "Master Rosen, come, let's toast the great friendship between us!"

The host is enthusiastic, so he naturally wants to accompany him.

Rosen raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Afterwards, Du Meng introduced his son and his family members one by one, and Rosen nodded to those introduced one by one.

When the youngest son was introduced, Du Meng's tone became more serious.

"This is my youngest son, Vandamont. I was 45 years old. The last gift from my beloved wife."

"He has been meditating on the sun since he was five years old. I also spent a lot of money to hire a famous teacher to help him train his spellcasting ability. Now he is 15 years old and has reached a low-level five-star ability."

He looked at Rosen: "Originally, I planned to ask Falun or Bileg to teach him spells when he grows up."

"But now it seems that there is definitely a big problem with the old man's brain. Bilegu used to watch the stars, but now he is measuring some constants, and he has no intention of teaching his disciples."

"Of course, I think these two old mages have bad personalities. One is selfish and the other is too rigid and stubborn. If I follow them for a long time, I will definitely teach my son badly."

Hearing this, Rosen naturally understood what Du Meng meant, that he just wanted to take him in as an apprentice.

He was going to accept apprentices, and when he looked at Van Damant carefully, he saw that his face was upright, his eyes were clear, and his expression was calm, so he felt that he was a good mage seedling.

He didn't wait for Du Meng to say it, and said directly: "Old man, I understand what you mean, if you are willing to let your little son suffer some trials, I will take him back to Crescent Town this time and let him follow me Learn spells."

When Du Meng heard it, he laughed heartily: "Master Rosen, you really are a happy person!"

"You are happy, so am I!"

"You can take him back this time. If the child is young, he should practice a lot, otherwise he will be useless when he grows up."

After finishing speaking, he waved to his youngest son: "Damon, from now on, Mage Rosen will be your instructor of spells, come here to meet your instructor."

Unexpectedly, the young man was not very willing, and said it outright.

"Father, Master Rosen is only one year older than me. He hasn't studied spells for as long as I have. How can he be my tutor?"

As soon as the words came out, Vivian couldn't help laughing.

"Hee hee~ The little guy is so naive, he always thinks he knows how high the dragon can fly."

Du Meng's complexion also sank: "Vandamont! What are you talking about? Hurry up and apologize to Master Rosen!"

Rosen waved his hand and said with a smile: "As a spell instructor, I am indeed younger. It is normal for your son to have such doubts."

He turned to look at Vandamont: "So, I will convince you with two spells."

"It's over, if you think I'm still not good enough, then forget about it. If you think there's still something worth learning from me, then learn from me for a few years first, how about it?"

Vandamont is the most loved at home, and he is still a child at heart, so he nodded as soon as he heard it: "Okay."

Rosen looked at Du Meng: "Mr., I ask you for a dagger made of fine steel to simulate an assassin's weapon."

Du Meng waved to the attendant, and after a while, the attendant brought a meat cleaver made of pure steel: "Is this okay?"

"no problem."

Rosen raised his hand to weigh the cleaver, and handed it to Vandamont with the mage's hand.

"This knife is very hard. Assassins can use it to pose a great threat to mages, but ordinary spells are difficult to destroy it, right?"

Vandamont touched the blade carefully, nodded to confirm: "Yes, I feel that at least a medium-level spell can break it."

Rosen smiled: "You don't think it's wrong, but in fact, if you want to completely destroy its structure in an instant, instead of breaking or twisting, you need a spell with high-level power."

While speaking, he used the mage's hand to take back the meat cleaver.

"Next, I will show you how to completely destroy this knife."

"Remember, I said thorough!"

When he said this, the others at the banquet also looked at Rosen curiously, waiting for his performance.

Rosen was not in a hurry to cast the spell, and asked Du Meng for advice first.

"Mister, can I release a powerful spell here? Of course, only destroy this meat cleaver, but there will be no leakage of power."

"can."

Rosen stood up and took a few steps back. After preparing to cast the spell, he said, "Look at the dagger."

Before the words fell, the magic burst out suddenly!

Flower staff, calm and relaxed, instant power of impermanence. Gravity collapses.

Dexterity: 40%.

Spell power: high-level ultimate.

When the strength is reached, the scale of the spell is small, and the total power is naturally small, but the target of destruction is also small.

So for Xiaodao, what he was facing was a high-level and extreme spell power.

'Ding!Ding! '

The two crisp sounds were almost connected together, the first sound was a calm and eruptive sound, and the latter sound was the pure steel meat cleaver being pressed together in an instant.

Because of the violent extrusion, the steel material heated up violently, so a pure round steel ball that was almost incandescent in color was obtained.

"O~~"

Everyone present subconsciously let out an exclamation, even Du Meng and Mo Luo, who were high-ranking warriors, were not spared.

As high-level warriors, their explosive combat skills can naturally break the pure steel dagger easily, and they can squeeze the steel into a ball with all their strength, but it takes at least three or four seconds to knead.

But Rosen completed it in an instant, and the steel ball was almost a pure circle, showing a terrifying burst of spell power.

If this kind of explosive power is used for spell confrontation, it is simply a nightmare for the opponent.

But it doesn't stop there.

Before everyone could remember and recover from the shock, the next spell had already erupted.

High-level gravitational disintegration technique!

Dexterity 20%.

Spell Power: Master Level [-].

'Chi~~'

There was a sound that no one had heard before.

The hot steel ball that was red one moment disappeared into the air the next moment, and there was only a large group of gray mist with a diameter of half a meter and a faint red light left in the air.

'hi~'

There was a sound of gasping.

Du Meng was shocked and couldn't help asking: "Where's the steel ball? Where did the steel ball go?"

It's fine to knead it into a ball in an instant, but it's still a force he can understand, but what kind of operation is it to turn into a red light and gray mist in an instant?
How did steel turn into fog?

The only person present who could understand it was probably Vivienne.

She immediately said: "That cloud of red mist is the steel ball, no, it should be called steel gas."

Rosen smiled slightly: "Vivienne is right, this is steel gas."

Of course, strictly speaking, it should be called a mixed mist of iron and carbon, because the particles are far from being as fine as a single iron atom.

With another thought, I used a normal version of gravitational collapse to pinch the steel mist together again, but when pinched again, it was not a steel ball, but a cloud of dust-like iron powder.

Rosen held the ball of iron powder with the hands of a mage and returned to his seat, took a plate, and gently poured the iron powder on the plate.

Pass it to Baron Dumont first.

"Old sir, I am so sorry for ruining your carving knife."

Du Meng naturally didn't mind a small knife. He took the plate and looked at it carefully. He even smelled it with his nose, and he smelled a strong iron smell.

"I've only heard of flour and mud powder, but this is the first time I've seen steel powder today. Mage Rosen, your spells are really shocking."

He asked his attendants to pass the steel powder to everyone present to watch, and everyone was surprised.

When it was Vivian's turn, she had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Finally, the steel powder was handed to Vandamont.

Du Meng said: "Damon, the opportunity to learn a powerful and advanced gravitational spell is right in front of you. If you miss it, don't blame your father for not training you well."

Van Damont was already stupefied, he didn't look at the steel powder, he just looked at Rosen.

"How can such a powerful spell be released instantly? This is different from what the book says."

Rosen smiled faintly: "Did the book tell you that the more powerful the mana is, the more mana it consumes, and the slower the casting speed? Even when it comes to real master spells, it may take more than ten seconds to cast successfully?"

Vandamont nodded again and again: "Yes, that's what it says in the book."

Rosen asked again: "Who wrote the book?"

"Uh~ The revised version of "General Theory of Spells" I read, the original version was written by the lifelong professor of La Farea 30 years ago, Archmage Columbine, and the last revision was made by the Earl."

Rosen smiled slightly: "This sentence should have been correct 30 years ago, but it was already wrong after the earl invented the preparatory casting technique."

"When it comes to me, it's even more wrong."

"There are many ways in this world to break through the limitations of general theory. And if a mage sticks to the common sense of general theory, he has absolutely no future."

Hearing this, Du Meng glared at his youngest son angrily: "Damon, why did I give birth to such a fool as you? You can still sit on the chair now?"

Vandamont was taken aback, but recovered immediately.

He stood up quickly, walked quickly to Rosen, knelt down on the carpet with a 'plop', and said: 'Meet the mentor'.

Rosen didn't hide, and received a full salute from his apprentice.

"Very well, now, you are my second personal apprentice."

Du Meng was puzzled: "Why the second apprentice?"

"Because the chief apprentice is Bernard Shaw, the son of your second daughter. Well, the seniority is a little messed up."

Lina Delin immediately said: "Let my younger brother be the chief apprentice, I can't let my son be in front of my uncle."

Vivienne immediately argued: "No! Come first, first come first, obviously my nephew arrived first!"

Rosen coughed lightly: "There is no need to fight, because I will try my best to teach, so let's follow the order of accepting apprentices."

If so, this is the case.

Afterwards, dinner continued.

Occasionally, Rosen felt Cassandrine's eyes looking at him again. The resentment was gone and it became mourning.

Obviously, she showed great power, and her younger brother also worshiped her as a spell instructor, which made her feel that she was powerless to resist the arrangement of fate.

Rosen felt that this was not good, so he had to find an opportunity to persuade him.

After the banquet, there is a simple family dance, where the whole family arranges to dance and digest food.

Rosen danced with Vivienne and Lena Delin, and then walked up to Cassandrine and extended his hand to invite her.

"Miss Beautiful, can you dance with us?"

Cassandrine was a little surprised, but finally agreed: "Okay."

Soothing music played, and the two entered the dance floor.

After dancing for a while, Rosen got straight to the point: "Miss Cassandrine is unwilling to marry Chapple?"

The girl sighed lightly: "Who wants to marry a swinger?"

"Are you interested?"

A romantic interest is the worst case scenario.

The girl shook her head: "If you don't have a crush, you simply don't like that guy."

Rosen felt relieved, knowing that the problem was not serious.

Relationships can be cultivated as long as there are no competitors to mess with, and young women don't quite know what they really want.

At this time, if someone with high reputation and authority speaks a few good words, it can greatly affect the judgment of the young woman.

As it happens, Rosen basically meets this requirement.

So, he began to describe Chapolet's few advantages.

"Even if he will become a count in the future? And you will become a countess? Don't you want to?"

"Well, this is something to be gratified about."

What girl doesn't want to be a countess?My eldest sister thought, and she also thought it was good.

Rosen smiled lightly, feeling the girl's vanity.

He knew it was all right.

So, he smiled confidently and continued speaking in an extremely confident tone.

"Of the six towns of Huangshui, four towns have already clearly supported Chapolet, and Furnace Ash Town is also obviously biased towards Chapolet. The possibility of you becoming a countess is much higher than your eldest sister."

Cassandrine's expression moved slightly.

Rosen smiled and said, "Chapolet is indeed a slut, but he never said harsh words to beautiful girls. He is a very gentle gentleman."

"Of course, I know he's not handsome, but he's definitely very healthy and strong. Believe me, that's the most important thing."

"Little girl, with your appearance, as long as you take the initiative a little bit, I guarantee that Chapolei will be dazzled by you, treat you like a queen, and your life will be very happy."

Cassandrine retorted subconsciously: "I'm not a little girl, I'm two years older than you."

Rosen smiled: "Beautiful lady, don't pay attention to insignificant details, pay attention to the really important things!"

Cassandrine pursed her lips in thought.

Rosen knew that it was almost done, so he stopped talking and focused on dancing.

In the next dance, Vivian took the initiative and took his hand onto the dance floor.

While dancing, she whispered something.

"Rosen, the second spell you used just now is very good. With the help of this spell, I can concoct a very powerful potion."

Rosen frowned, interested: "Then find a quiet place to discuss in detail?"

The large gravitational cracking technique can produce uniform dust, and this kind of dust is indeed very useful in the chemical field.

So when Vivian said this, he immediately believed it.

"Let's go to the bedroom to discuss later. I have made an agreement with Du Meng, we will share a room tonight."

Luo Sen had no objection, but suddenly remembered Du Meng's strange behavior in the afternoon, and asked softly, "Du Meng has been asking you to buy back the aphrodisiac?"

Vivienne nodded lightly: "He's getting older, but he doesn't change his style. It's a pity that his body can't keep up, so I helped him."

After a pause, she sighed: "Actually, doing this will shorten your lifespan. I also explicitly told Du Meng about this side effect, but he said that if you don't want to be romantic, you might as well die directly, so."

Rosen understood, and sighed: "The old baron really never changes his mind, old but strong!"
