Chapter 196: Silent Vote

That night.

Lawson Family Manor Restaurant.

Ethan was having dinner with Sophia. The main course was grilled lamb chops, which didn't taste very good and was very fishy.

Ethan took two bites and then put it down.

"Where are you going tonight?" Ethan dropped his knife and fork and asked.

Sofia also put down her knife and fork, and gently wiped her mouth with a napkin: "Casillas Manor, they have a new member born, and they held a dinner for this purpose."

Ethan nodded, guessing that he was using the dinner as an excuse to secretly hold some kind of meeting.

He didn't want to know what this was going to do, and he didn't mind what the family was going to do.

But there is something that I still need to be concerned about.

So he dismissed everyone first, and then said: "How is the magic node?"

"I asked the teacher to take a look at the node diagram." Sophia pursed her lips: "She said it didn't look like a formation formation, but more like a cultivation node."

"What's the meaning?"

Sophia thought for a while: "Probably, these nodes are just to provide magic power.

Following this idea, I took a closer look and found that these nodes almost all revolved around the various industries of the Duke's Palace. "

Ethan still couldn't understand, and looked at Sofia to tell her clearly.

Sophia smiled: "To make it clear, you must first understand the magic power provided by the magic node.

Although it is very good in all aspects, such as large quantity, stability, etc., it cannot be directly used for practice due to reasons such as frequency and the origin of the world.

However, if there is a customized energy conversion treasure, it can be used for meditation practice.

This is also a practice method commonly used by many magic families.

However, they generally do not use this method in densely populated areas.

The Stein family is a family of magic, and their family has produced figures at the level of magic gods.

There is nothing wrong with them mastering this cultivation treasure.

In other words, someone in the Duke's Palace is working hard to improve his strength, and he may not be able to leave the Duke's Palace.

The only strange thing is that if you want to practice, you should be close to the principle, but he set up the nodes on the street, and there are too many of them.

The explanation given by my teacher is that the Stein family may have mastered some kind of Noble Phantasm that can convert energy in a wide range. "

Ethan finally understood: "In other words, someone in the Duke's Palace is going to become a Dharma God?"

"Haha!" Sophia laughed: "The Dharma God and the Sage don't just have magic power. Like the Great Sword Master, they have more control over the rules.

And based on the currently known conversion magic treasures, the conversion rate can reach 2%, which is already incredible.

With this conversion rate, it is better to use magic stones to practice.

The only advantage is that the economy is durable.

But then again, for the sake of economy, who would tailor-make an expensive magic power conversion treasure?

Quite contradictory, right? "

Having said this, Sophia stood up, walked to Ethan gracefully, smiled evilly and snuggled into Ethan's arms.

She said coquettishly: "My dear, help me customize one!

Since I returned to Maruo City, I haven’t practiced for a long time.

Now I have almost forgotten how to construct even basic arcane bullets. "

Ethan doesn't mind helping Sophia customize a magical magic transformation treasure, but if he wants to customize it, he must have a design drawing!

"If you can get the design, I will make one for you."

"Really!" Sofia was overjoyed and kissed Ethan on the face non-stop.

"I have this design now, but it's just missing the obsidian. I'll buy some some other day, and then you can help me customize it."

When Ethan heard this, he immediately frowned: "Do you have a design drawing?"

"Of course! The legacy left by a former magic genius!" Sophia nodded excitedly: "This Noble Phantasm was not designed for practice.

So you may need to change it, you can change it! "

"You want me to change the design for you?" Ethan was shocked.

“It’s the same principle, just changed to my frequency.

Just try it a few times and it should be fine.

My dear, you are the best, let the apostles study it! "

With that said, Sophia made another promiscuous kiss.

Ethan's first reaction: There is another way to make money.

The target is still a magician.

The most obvious characteristic of this group of people is that they are rich.

It's obviously worth spending some time researching.

So he smiled and nodded, which was regarded as agreement.

…

After dinner, the two got into a carriage and headed to Casillas Manor.

The Casillas family holds the title of duke, and their status is extraordinary.

Even this branch of Maro City has the title of earldom.

The main business is animal husbandry.

Because it has a lot of pasture and raises a lot of livestock.

The supply of meat and dairy products in Maruo City is almost monopolized by this family.

Going back to this branch here, it has a history of nearly a hundred years.

It is no exaggeration to say that their influence on Maro City is crucial.

Today, a new little princess was born in their family, and a celebration dinner was held for this purpose.

Although they stated that it was just a family dinner, many families still went to celebrate.

However, everyone congratulated verbally and no one brought gifts.

The Lawson family is certainly no exception.

The carriage with the giant bear logo slowly stopped in the front yard of Casillas Manor.

Ethan got out of the car and couldn't help but frowned when he took a look.

The estate is patrolled by heavily armed soldiers and even a cavalry unit.

Extraordinary knights in exquisite armor can be seen everywhere, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

When these people saw Ethan, they immediately cast enthusiastic eyes.

"That's the carriage of the Lawson family!"

"Yes! The great swordsman is here!"

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately straightened their backs, holding their left hands with their right hands naturally in front of them, so that others could see the position of their hands.

This is the knight's default "renunciation of war", which they use to express their respect for the great swordsman.

Ethan was not used to such enthusiastic eyes from everyone, but since others were paying respect, he could only smile and nod to everyone, and then silently followed Sophia into the manor.

The two did not go to the banquet hall, but led by a butler, went straight to an unknown place on the third floor.

When the heavy door was pushed open by the butler, a beam of warm light shone from it, and Sophia smiled slightly and walked in slowly.

After Ethan followed in, he found that this was a conference room.

A huge round table was placed in the middle.

Dozens of people sat around, including men, women, young and old.

Some showed their true faces, while others wore masks.

A red card and a white card were neatly placed in front of each person.

When a new person arrived, no one even raised their heads or made any sound.

The venue was terribly quiet.

Sophia said nothing and took Ethan to the only two remaining seats.

"Since the last guest has arrived, let's get started!"

As soon as the two sat down, an old man with silver hair stood up and said.

"Red cards mean agreement, white cards mean opposition! Let's get started!"

Agree to what?

What are you opposing?

Ethan had no idea what these people wanted to do, but before he could react, Sophia had already picked up the red card and threw it in the middle of the table, and at the same time threw out the red card in front of Ethan.

Then, without waiting for the result, she stood up, pulled Ethan and left.

...
