Chapter 52: [The Magician Creditor Comes to the Door]

Madea lay in the room for two days afterwards, and after a serious illness, he felt his legs go soft when he got out of bed.

However, Du Wei still gave a reward to this loyal servant. Because that day in the hot air balloon, when faced with the inability to land, the still flustered Mader inadvertently made a suggestion: Is it possible to turn off the stove that is roasting below?

This proposal immediately reminded Du Wei that the power of the hot air balloon is related to the temperature of the gas in the balloon. The heated stove was turned off, and the gas gradually cooled before the balloon finally landed.

It's just that after poor Mader landed, he almost vomited all his bile, and finally was carried back under the rescue of a group of cavalry who arrived.

Just when everyone in the castle was speculating about what new tricks this strange young master would come up with... Du Wei fell silent.

For many days, Du Wei did not tinker with anything again. Du Wei himself knew very well in his heart: he was not interested in doing too many things to involve energy. Whether it's fireworks or football gambling, it's all a way he makes money to solve the recent shortage of funds.

Du Wei was even less interested in doing anything like the Industrial Revolution that cost the people money. His purpose is to make money, in order to raise the burn money needed for magical experiments.

Now, he didn't worry about the money problem for the time being, and Du Wei stopped moving.

Aside from a trip to Solskjaer's laboratory every day to see the wizard's progress, and then visiting the research and development team of hot air balloons and pyrotechnics, Du Wei spent all his time learning magic.

Every night he would run alone to the third-floor terrace of the magic laboratory for an all-nighter. He and Solskjaer have developed a tacit understanding. The laboratory is used by Solskjaer during the day and Du Wei at night. Both do not interfere with each other.

It has been more than a month, but Du Wei's cultivation of "Star Magic" has never been able to break through the first threshold. The concept of the so-called "power of the stars" is still too vague. There are no specific criteria, no specific descriptions, and even Sammel himself cannot say exactly what the power of the stars is... After all, the current Semel is not the real female astrologer herself, she just inherited a copy of a memory. Many of Duwei's puzzles, this Sammel cannot answer.

In addition to learning star magic at night, during the day, Du Wei will also learn orthodox magic on the continent... Ole Gunnar Solskjaer provided some help in this regard, after all, he is also a magician, and some low-level magic spells, Du Wei can get from Solskjaer.

After more than a month, Du Wei has basically mastered some low-level spells, such as simple fire magic, fireball magic, and wind blades of wind magic, and Du Wei can calmly cast them. Among these low-level magics, Du Wei was the most proficient in "Stun Technique" and "Acceleration Technique".

In the end, even Solskjaer admitted that Du Wei's current magical strength had surpassed his own... Whether it's magic, or induction. If Du Wei is willing to participate in the assessment of the magic union, then with his current strength, he can easily obtain the qualification of a first-level magician.

This is also the result of Du Wei hiding some of his own strength a little.

In fact, although Du Wei has never been able to learn star magic, Saimer's spell of cultivating spiritual power is extremely effective on the growth of his spiritual power, and the strength of his magic power has barely reached the level of a third-level magician now.

As for induction... With the "antenna" given by Chris on his head, Du Wei's sensitivity is even more acute than many intermediate magicians!

That afternoon, Madet was once again given an important task by Du Wei!

As the chief steward of Du Wei's side, Mad will be responsible for taking the gifts carefully prepared by Du Wei to the imperial capital to congratulate the countess on her birthday.

Du Wei spent an evening carefully writing a personal letter... For the beautiful and gentle countess, Du Wei still has considerable feelings in his heart. Especially the serious illness when she was a child, the countess knelt in the temple of light for a night and prayed all night, and then took care of herself without sleep... And even after the birth of his brother, the whole family snubbed him, but the countess still came to Du Wei's room at night, holding her young son, singing and coaxing him to sleep...

Du Wei was quite moved in his heart. This beautiful and gentle woman showed the greatest and most simple maternal love in her. Although that love made Du Wei's heart full of guilt... Because he is not her real son. But because of this love, Du Wei is full of concern for this beautiful and gentle mother.

The birthday gift is the "Forgiveness of the Goddess of Dawn" carefully prepared by Du Wei.

Du Wei was very confident that this never-before-seen gift would definitely cause a great shock after it was delivered to the Earl's Mansion! Du Wei didn't care about the shock, he wanted to make the countess happy at the birthday party.

Mader rode in a carriage and took a few retinues on the road. The countess's birthday is seven days away, and if there are no accidents along the way, she can probably arrive two days before the countess's birthday.

After sending Made, Du Wei's mood was slightly relaxed, and he also saved a little selfishness. After all, the days of being grounded are a little sad, and he can't leave a certain range around the castle every day, and after more than a month, he is really a little depressed, hoping that this brilliant birthday gift can make his father's perception of himself a little reversed. Three hundred gold coins a month, Du Wei doesn't care. I only hope that Lord Count is happy and lifts his lockdown, which is the best.

On the night that Mad left, the moon was clear and the stars were clear, such a beautiful night, Du Wei suddenly became interested, he asked the servant to prepare a stove, put it on the terrace on the roof of the laboratory, and then asked the cook in the castle to prepare some beef loin, lamb chops, and some fresh vegetables that had just been transported from the farm behind the castle... Plus a bottle of good wine.

Du Wei is going to make an open-air barbecue here.

The steak was placed on the iron frame on the stove, and Du Wei took a brush he had made out, dipped in his own seasoning, and smeared it over and over again, his movements were extremely careful, and every inch of the steak was fully and evenly smeared with the seasoning.

Under the grilling of the stove, the aroma of meat mixed with spices was overflowing, and Du Wei took a deep breath with great enjoyment, and he couldn't help but hum a little song.

Looking at Du Wei's comfortable appearance, Saimer's eyes were a little strange.

"What tune are you humming? It seems to be the work of a bard ... But why can't I understand a word?

Du Wei didn't bother to explain, he snorted, then turned the steak over with a fork, picked up the wine bottle and took a small sip.

"Red wine with red meat." Du Wei sighed with satisfaction: "The wind is light and cloudy, the moon is bright and the stars are bright... Such a comfortable evening, blowing a light breeze, eating some barbecue, accompanied by a good bottle of wine... It's a pity, if only there was some more music.

"You little nobleman, you will enjoy it." Semel pouted: "Don't learn star magic tonight?"

"I've been studying for over a month." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Spiritual power is very effective, but the power of the stars has never been understood." It's not that I'm lazy, it's just that since I don't understand, it's not something that can be solved in a day or two. The so-called combination of work and rest, I have been tired for more than a month, and I always have time to relax.

After

that, he took his fork and started roastingCooked steak, carefully bitten, full of aroma made Du Wei almost bite his tongue, he smiled vaguely: "Delicious!" Delicious! It's just a pity that you can't eat such a delicious thing.

Semel rolled her eyes directly. She is a magical creature, and in general nothing more than an object of spiritual power. Without an actual body, she is just a phantom who does not need to eat, drink or sleep.

And Du Wei unsealed her, so that her spirit body had been deeply imprinted with Du Wei's magic imprint, almost becoming Du Wei's shadow.

"You don't eat, drink, or sleep... So isn't life boring? Du Wei sighed, and he looked at Semel in front of him.

Semel was still wearing the bright red robe, but after Du Wei's repeated reminders, she finally learned to pay a little attention to her appearance, and no longer jumped on the railing to dangle her beautiful legs.

Samel rolled his eyes again.

"By the way, one more question... Well, I haven't asked you before. Du Wei blinked: "How long can you live?"

"Same as you." Saimer was a little helpless when he said this: "I was released by you, and the spell that unsealed my life has been firmly linked to your spiritual power." As long as you can live, I can live! And if you die, your spiritual power disappears, then I will disappear with it.

"So, aren't we 'living and dying together'?" Du Wei looked strange.

"Watch your words, my little nobleman." Semer's smile was malicious: "Don't forget, I am your great-great-great-grandmother."

Du Wei snorted directly and glared at Saimer without giving in: "You are just a replicator, not the real Semel." And... Great-great-great-grandmother? Have you ever seen a grandmother dangling in front of her grandson with her legs exposed?

Semel turned his face sideways in anger and looked up at the starry sky.

Du Wei leaned comfortably on the back chair, chewing a piece of grilled sausage in his mouth, and looked at Semel standing by the railing. The moonlight sprinkled softly on her face, her red robe fluttered, and her long silver hair was like snow. Looking from the side, the outline of her face is very soft, but there is an inexplicable look on her face...

"What are you thinking?" Du Wei spoke.

"I don't know. So thinking. Semel's answer was a little strange, but his tone was a little low.

Turning around, Semel looked at Du Wei, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Actually, I think I'm very strange... Every day I was sealed in the painting, I looked forward to unsealing it. But when I unlocked it, I found that I didn't know what to do... I'm not human. But... Semel gave me a memory of hers and made me think humanly. Following you these days, I feel a little lost... I didn't know what to do, although it was more leisurely to be around you than to be sealed in a painting. But it made me even more confused... You are human, and at your age, you can live for decades or even centuries... Could it be that for the next hundred years, I will stay by your side like this, and I can only talk to you alone, as your shadow? Every day just watching, watching, watching, watching... Just look at it for a hundred years, and then quietly disappear with your death?

Du Wei sat up a little straighter, his face was much more serious, and he took a deep look at Semel, and Du Wei sighed: "I'm surprised... This kind of thinking of yours is already very close to human beings. It's true... It's just that I can't answer your question either. For you are thinking about a question that even the wisest and wise man among mankind cannot answer: the meaning of life.

"The meaning of life..." said Saymel softly.

Looking at the sad expression on Semel's face, Du Wei suddenly remembered a fairy tale he had heard in his previous life: Pinocchio.

Naturally, Du Wei immediately told the story to Sammel.

The magical creature listened so fascinated that she didn't even say a word from beginning to end.

When Du Wei said that the puppet "Pinocchio" would grow longer once he lied, Semel couldn't help but laugh, she smiled happily, very pleasantly, and even very... Naive.

And Du Wei said that "Pinocchio" longs to become a real human and have a real human body...

Semel lowered her head, her head hanging so low that even Du Wei couldn't see her expression.

Finally, Du Wei finished telling the story, and in the end, the puppet finally became a real person...

"I also want to have a real body." Saimel suddenly spoke.

Her voice was very light and soft, but in such a soft voice, Du Wei heard a longing!

When he listened to the story of Pinocchio, Du Wei never felt anything. But tonight, seeing this magical creature sitting in front of him, he said such a wish with a sad face...

He suddenly felt a trace of sympathy in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort Samel in front of him.

"Maybe..." Du Wei thought for a moment: "Perhaps, we can try... Maybe you can use magic..."

"It's not early, I want to rest." Semel suddenly interrupted Du Wei's words, her words were strange, because a magical creature does not need to rest.

Apparently she was running away, escaping Du Wei's improbable comfort.

With a bang, Semel's body disappeared, and Du Wei sighed, knowing that Semel didn't want to speak anymore. Although it is a magical creature, when Semel does not want to speak, he can possess anything around Du Wei.

Rings, badges, clothes, and even boots. As long as Semer wants, she can even be attached to Du Wei's belt. Otherwise, he would float by Du Wei's side like this all day long, and Du Wei would inevitably feel like a hanged ghost behind him.

Du Wei sighed, he didn't stop Semer's dodge... Although Du Wei can order Saimel to come out, after all, it is Du Wei who unlocked the seal with a spell, and the magical creature must obey all Du Wei's orders. But at this moment, Du Wei knew that she was in a bad mood and didn't want to say anything more.

After taking a sip of wine, the fire was extinguished, and Du Wei lazily shrunk into his chair and looked at the sky.

The starry sky was still bright, and Du Wei suddenly asked himself: "For me... What is the meaning of life? After

sitting like this, it took a long time, just when he felt a little tired and was about to get up and go back to sleep, suddenly, Du Wei's heart moved! His powerful spiritual power could feel a slight fluctuation in the air around him!

The faint fluctuations of the air flow could not hide Du Wei's current spiritual power, he sat up and looked around with flickering eyes!

"It seems that your senses are sharp." In the darkness, suddenly a melodious voice fluttered softly!

This voice sounded very old, but the tone was very soft, even with a hint of a smile: "According to."What I've heard about your situation before, it seems that you shouldn't have this level of mental power... Mr. Duvirolin. A

shadow suddenly appeared from outside the terrace railing in front of him!

In the dark night, this man was actually wearing a white robe, which was a magician's robe. He has an old face, a long beard, very delicate eyebrows, and a peaceful smile at the corner of his mouth, just looking at Du Wei's eyes, but it is like needles!

Being stared at by such eyes made Du Wei a little uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" Du Wei frowned: "Your Excellency a magician? I don't seem to have any dealings with the Magicians' Guild.

The body of the old man in the sorcerer's robe floated over the railing and landed a few steps in front of Du Wei. He still had a smile on his face... I have to say that although he is very old, he has delicate skin and shiny eyes that are very different from his age!

Du Wei had never seen someone with such bright eyes!

"You surprised me... Because before, I thought you were just an aristocratic kid who could play a little trick. The old magician smiled and looked at Du Wei: "But now, it seems that you still have excellent spiritual power... Oh, can you do magic too? Your hands don't have to hold the fingerprints of fire magic... Don't be wary of me. Because... That's not useful at all.

Du Wei looked at this guy more and more carefully: "What kind of person are you?" The

old magician suddenly walked to Du Wei's side with a big grin, he bent down and picked up the wine bott
