The original cherry-pink pupils had a golden circle at the very edge, which was a symbol of divine power, and Langdon, who was staring at her, instantly looked away under pressure.

Her beautiful face was neither sad nor happy, and the wings of light behind her half-enclosed her delicate body, and the luminous elements floated in the air, like a portrait of a holy angel.

Seeing this scene, even Langdon couldn't help feeling a little emotional for a moment.

The manifestation of Flora's mental image turned out to be such a sacred light wing.

If it was Flora who just became a saint a few years ago, Langdon would still believe it, but for Flora now...

...Could it be that Flora sincerely repented of what she had done?

Langdon had some misgivings about this.

Flora quickly woke up from that trance state. After condensing the light element on her fingertips, she swiped her wrist, and golden blood flowed out.

Different from common blood, this golden blood seems to be very viscous, dripping a drop very slowly. Fortunately, the small bottle originally used to hold the spirit potion was not too big, and it was filled to [-]% in a short time.

Only then did Flora breathe a sigh of relief, and stopped spelling in her mouth.

Almost the moment the spell stopped, the wings of light behind her suddenly shattered and dissipated into the air. Her face, which was not unusual at first, instantly turned pale, and she even panted a few times as if she was having difficulty breathing, and then violently Coughed up.

Langdon is not a hard-hearted person, especially if others seem to have paid for his wish, such as health, he can't turn a blind eye to it regardless of emotion or reason.

He really didn't expect that such a small bottle can consume so much Flora... Thinking about the missions that are suspected to be related to demons in the temple, they should always bring props to identify demons. This is how they all came here...?

Even though she was so delicate, she never mentioned it to him at all... She was unexpectedly stubborn in a strange place.

Langdon stood up subconsciously: "Are you okay?"

"No, no problem." Flora coughed a few more times, glanced at her palms hurriedly, to make sure that she didn't cough up blood, "I'm used to it, it's good that I can help you."

"..."

Langdon poured Flora a cup of tea in silence.

Flora took the teacup flattered and was pushed by Langdon to sit on the sofa.

"Anyway, you should take a rest first." Langdon paused for a moment, then continued, "Otherwise, if you go out like this, if someone sees you, you will spread some strange rumors about me again."

Flora seemed to have been stabbed in some kind of wound, and there was a faint pain in her expression, but she held the teacup and took a sip, feeling that the pain in her whole body seemed to be diluted by this sip of hot tea, and she couldn't help showing it. A charming smile.

Although it seemed to be sarcastic, he was actually caring about her, right?

...Even if, according to Langdon's temperament, even if a stranger did this, Langdon would care about it, and he might be more affectionate to her than he is now... But at least he no longer deliberately neglected her. This is also an improvement, right?

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Langdon put the blood in the drawer and called out, Bellatrix opened the door and walked in.

"...Oh, the saint is here too?" Bellatrix, who had heard the news from the maid long ago, blinked knowingly, "You don't look very well, have you worked too hard recently? Duke It's true, even childhood sweethearts can't oppress others like this."

Flora frowned, and retorted subconsciously: "It's my own choice, and it has nothing to do with Langdon."

Langdon interrupted their communication: "Miss Saint is really not in good health, go back and rest first."

Flora was not reconciled.

After finally having the opportunity to be in the same room with Langdon, even if they didn't speak, they could get along peacefully for a period of time, but they were disturbed by the princess just like that...

The princess came at such an inopportune time, it was too much!

And the princess obviously doesn't do any work, but she can come to see Langdon at will...

Flora's heart was being eaten away by jealousy.

Langdon even urged, "Miss Saint?"

Flora glanced at Langdon resentfully, but she didn't dare to pester her, so she could only respond, and then reluctantly took another sip of the tea Langdon poured for her, before getting up to leave.

After Flora walked away, Bellatrix sat on the sofa leisurely, teasingly said: "This drives people away? Are you afraid of what I will do to her?"

"Why, I just think it's meaningless for her to stay here."

Bellatrix took a closer look at Langdon.

Compared to before, it seemed to be a little softer... She didn't think it had anything to do with Flora, so she opened her mouth and said.

"Well, let me just say that you will be happy to see that magic swordsman? You still don't believe me, it seems that you have been nervous for the past two days."

Langdon had nothing to say.

He was really happy about Bridget's presence... because Bridget meant that what he did before he regained his memory was not completely innocent and stupid, but meaningful.

In a way, it even saved Langdon's soul.

but……

"You did it on purpose." Langdon said angrily, "You know you said that, I can't really be happy waiting for the 'surprise'."

This can be regarded as a reverse operation by Bellatrix using her negative credit value with Langdon.

As for the purpose...you don't need to think about it, it must be to watch him have fun, so that he can't feel at ease to meet something that should be purely happy.

Bellatrix was not ashamed but proud, and replied confidently: "I just told the truth, and you didn't believe it."

Langdon snorted coldly, ignoring her: "So, what's the matter this time?"

"Huh? It's okay. I just want to accuse you of not trusting me."

Langdon: "..."

Can such a fun person get out of my principality? !

Bellatrice didn't seem to see Langdon's murderous eyes, and said with great emotion: "The magic swordsman told me about the first meeting with you..."

Langdon raised his forehead, how many people did Bridget-senpai tell, and I still remember him being very happy, but now there is only shame left, can you stop talking about it everywhere!

Langdon didn't know if Bridget would continue, but Bellatrix continued anyway.

"—Although I knew you were a bad person, but you were really stupid and sweet before, and you were able to comfort a stranger all afternoon..."

Bellatrix looked at Langdon with puzzled eyes: "Why? Why would you do such a thing that is of no benefit to you? I don't understand."

Langdon was too lazy to analyze his past brain circuits with Bellatrix.

He responded directly and indifferently: "Just treat me as if I was free and had nothing to do before. After all, you see, now that I'm busy, don't I have nothing to do?"

Bellatrix: "..."

"I don't understand you yet, you've asked me several times in a different way about why I help people... What does it mean to you?—oh, don't answer, I don't mean to be serious. I know, just say it."

After Langdon complained, he thought that Bellatrix would not care, but unexpectedly found that she frowned, as if she was also thinking about something.

"...Do I look like I care about this?"

"Please, how many times have you asked me back and forth, don't you have any impression yourself?" Langdon was also convinced.

Even Bellatrix's smirk disappeared.

"I have an impression, but I didn't realize..."

Bellatrix seemed a little dissatisfied, but she couldn't see what she was dissatisfied with. She could only feel that she seemed inexplicably anxious. She didn't even intend to stay and continue teasing Langdon for fun, but hurriedly got up and left In the study room, I didn't even drink a sip of tea.

Langdon: "...???"

What an inexplicable guy.

However, Langdon was quite happy to be able to send people away so easily without any trouble.

Alas, when will he be able to go up and beat people down when others are riddling them, forcing them to explain?

I hope my eldest nephew can find useful information from the secret room.

[ps: Add more tweets at night, and it will become stronger, otherwise the protagonist will be too miserable...]

29. The blood magic of the Stuart family (3k)

After sending off the two girls, Langdon was finally able to continue working.

The daily life of the nobles is actually very idle. They either go out hunting or attend banquets, and leave everything to the people below. It is very rare for a duke to work as hard as Langdon.

But hasn't he just inherited the title for less than a year, and he still has to consider the preparations for the demon invasion?It's not a problem that the government affairs system is loose, if you think it's strange, it's strange, anyway, he can't turn a blind eye.

In any case, after finishing the current work, most of the remaining armaments of the Principality can be handed over to others, and there is no need to do it by himself, so Langdon is quite happy to be busy.

Next, Langdon's three main tasks for staying in the Principality are the birthday party, receiving the mission from the Heka Empire, and finding information about blood magic—yes, for Langdon, the birthday party is not entertainment. , but the task...

After finally returning to the Principality, not only the people below couldn't wait to have a chance to get close to the new Duke and show his face to see if it would be beneficial, Langdon also needed an entertaining banquet to communicate with his subordinates.

Originally, in a normal duke family, the old duke should have brought the heir to meet his subordinates and hand over important information in advance. Unfortunately, Langdon's biological father died so suddenly that Langdon could only make up for it by himself in this kind of place.

Ah, speaking of important data...

Langdon, whose work had come to an end, finally remembered that he should visit his eldest nephew.

Lei Shidong accepted his request and helped him find information on the blood magic of the Stuart family in the secret room of the study.

But the secret room is not so easy to get in and out, otherwise it would not be considered a secret room.

When going in, you need a key and a spell. When you come out, if it is still him, you can come out directly, but outsiders like Lei Shidong will be troublesome. Langdon has to pick him up in person. With the wrong settings, a thief who can't sneak in secretly may starve to death inside.

And staying in a closed place for a long time is not good for the spirit...

Langdon opened the door of the secret room, and said apologetically to Lei Shidong who came out: "I'm sorry, is it hard to be locked up? I wronged you, but I really can't find anyone else I can trust."

"It's all right." Lei Shidong waved his hands again and again, "I slept in it, and it didn't affect much."

Langdon choked on "I will continue to trouble you in the future": "..."

Great nephew!Is this how you help your uncle? !

Realizing that Langdon's eyes were not right, Lei Shidong realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly added: "I mean, I probably have found the information you want, and then I can't get out and I have nothing else to do. Just fell asleep."

Langdon: "...??? Are you kidding? There are so many books, I'm thinking that if I haven't found them until the start of school, I'll let you continue to look for them next time I'm on vacation..."

Although the printing technology in this world is not bad, for various reasons, except for textbooks, most of the magic-related books are manuscripts, and the titles are not habitually written on the spine, so Langdon didn't want to write books by himself. I rummaged through the sea for information.

When Lei Shidong heard that he was going to book a part-time job for the next vacation, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he found it in one go.

"I'm not kidding, I really found it, see if it's this."

With that said, Redstone signaled Langdon to enter the secret room—it would be troublesome to take out the contents inside, who knows what mechanism would be triggered, so Redstone put the booklet at the door.

Langdon was dubious: "Did you find it so quickly?"

"Uh, it's not exactly what I was looking for..." Lei Shidong rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "When I got up halfway, I accidentally bumped into the bookshelf behind, and a few books fell directly on my head. After looking through it, I found that this book seems to be exactly what you are looking for, if it is not enough, I will help you continue to look for it.”

"Let me consider."

Langdon opened the booklet.

This is a handwritten note, it looks like it has been around for some years, but fortunately, it is protected by magic so that the paper is not so fragile that it will shatter when touched.

The content is also relatively clear. The first page is a prayer for future generations, and the second page goes straight to the point - about how to artificially activate blood magic.

Langdon: "..."

Wow, Lei Shidong really spotted it!

Langdon flipped through a few more pages, determined that this booklet was the most useful thing for him at the moment, and couldn't help but be furious.

"Why! I searched here for two afternoons but couldn't find it! You found it as soon as you came! Is it my ancestor or your ancestor! Don't bless me at all!"

"Hey." Lei Shidong smugly said, "Maybe this is my golden finger. After I came to this world, I was quite lucky in finding things."

Langdon complimented: "Amazing! You are worthy of being the Son of Prophecy!"

Lei Shidong: "..."

I don't know why, ever since they gave up the title "Asahi" to each other for a long time, he always felt that the nickname "Son of Prophecy" seemed to be a curse.

Langdon was still feeling emotional: "I'm different, I feel that my luck in this life is very bad, especially in terms of romantic luck, it's completely rotten..."

Lei Shidong couldn't help complaining: "Don't get cheap and act good, can't you? If you don't look at the luck of the peach blossoms, don't you have both parents dead at a young age, a car, a house, a title and a duchy!? You want to find someone Are normal women afraid that they won’t be found?!”

Langdon waved his hand, he was too lazy to continue this topic, and walked out while reading this booklet: "...I think blood magic is unreliable without a stable inheritance, and there is still a way to activate it ..."

Lei Shidong also read the brochure. Although he didn't read it carefully, he had a general impression: "It's a good thing that you are a duke. If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't be able to awaken this bloodline magic."

Langdon staggered as if shot in the knee.

Lei Shidong: "...? What's wrong? What did I say wrong? Isn't your family's blood magic [gem magic]? How can ordinary people squander so many gems..."

Yes, the blood magic of the Stuart family is exactly [gem magic].
