Thinking of the information Ada revealed last night, Melissa ordered five bottles of fruit beer and drank them all.
So Melissa's maximum drink limit is five bottles?
No, it shouldn't be. After all, when it comes to competing for seniority among her senior brothers, Melissa will definitely perform exceptionally well.
Moreover, Rosen also smelled that what Elkann drank was rum, with an alcohol content between 35% and 65%, which was significantly higher than the 8% alcohol content of fruit beer.
When it comes to drinking, Rosen has no talent, so this competition is at a disadvantage for him.
Rather than letting yourself get drunk and make a fool of yourself, it is better to wisely admit defeat in advance.
Anyway, the question of whether to be a senior or a junior is not important to Rosen at all.
"Master, I can't drink, so I'll give up." Rosen said straightforwardly.
"This is boring. My old man is just looking for an excuse for you to drink with me." Elkann glanced at Rosen and said.
On the other side, Melissa was already pouring wine for Elkann, and also poured a glass for herself and Rosen, then picked up the wine glass and sipped it.
A sly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Junior brother doesn't want to disappoint the teacher, right?"
Rosen didn't say much. He raised the wine on the table and had one or two drinks. It wasn't a problem for him.
But as soon as I took a sip, my whole world started to spin, and the wine in the cup almost spilled out.
He quickly put the wine glass on the table and leaned to the seat next to him. The extension had begun to blur, and the world in front of him was dizzy!
This drink actually contains some kind of powerful magic!
You can’t feel it before you drink it, but once you take the first sip, you almost have to give away Lawson.
Melissa and Elkann's expressions suddenly changed, somewhat unexpectedly.
"Oh, Rosen doesn't know that this is a magic drink, right?" Melissa was also quite surprised.
Elkann didn't expect it either.
The two of them didn't do it on purpose. After all, they were both from noble backgrounds. They didn't expect that Rosen, who was born as a commoner, had never been exposed to magic drinks.
Melissa quickly checked on Rosen's situation and said: "The magic of magic wine is very strong. When drinking it, you should sip it in small sips and not drink it all at once. Otherwise, even a capable magician will be knocked down easily.
"
"Oh, you are so funny, are you afraid that I don't know your respect for the old man?" Elkann misunderstood Rosen's meaning and burst out laughing.
"Even I don't dare to drink a lot. If you are happy enough, I will reward you with this bottle of magic rum!" Elkann said happily.
"Magic rum like this can only be owned by nobles, and is awarded by the kingdom based on merit. The magic energy in it can be easily absorbed. The energy contained in this bottle is enough to increase the magic intensity of ordinary swordsmen to the first level.
"
Melissa said at this time, and Rosen had woken up a lot, feeling that the magic aura was rushing through his body, which was actually much stronger than before!
However, it was just a sip of rum!
"Magic rum, so scary!"
Rosen praised, and then took a small sip, not daring to take a sip as casually as before.
Slowly, after drinking a glass of wine, the magic flowing in Rosen's body continued to surge, as if there was an ocean in his body, and this ocean was cheering for joy.
"Today is the day for you two to meet your mentor. I didn't give you any tasks. I gave you a bottle of rum each as a meeting gift."
"Regarding the swordsman's training method, I am following the ultimate rationality, and I am also following the ultimate path of the Ministry of Magic. It is completely opposite to the ultimate sensibility."
Elkann said, looked at Melissa, and continued: "Melissa's grandfather walked the path of extreme sensibility, and their family only has the inheritance of extreme sensibility."
"Melissa's grandfather and I are good friends. We used to argue about the origins of emotion and rationality. Later we came to the conclusion that..."
Rosen and Melissa watched Elkann's expression.
Elkann quickly shook his head and said, "The conclusion he and I came to is that we don't know."
Rosen: "..."
Melissa: “…”
"That's why Melissa's grandfather asked me to take Melissa as his disciple. This is to let Melissa practice the most rational swordsmanship from me. Maybe we older generations can't know the answer, but the answer
Young people can be allowed to explore, and eventually this mystery will be revealed."
The ultimate in rationality and the ultimate in sensibility, what is the origin of the sword?
Rosen also became curious.
It's just that in his current state, he still can't touch the ultimate sword.
"This is the inheritance of swordsmen from our Ministry of Magic. Its basic knowledge comes from the ultimate in rationality. What rationality pays attention to is science. It will not be like perceptual swordsmanship, where everything is explained by perception. What our Ministry of Magic values most is
, which is a scientific explanation.”
Sure enough, you have to believe in science.
Rosen also received a scroll from Elkann, which is a gift passed down to members of the Ministry of Magic.
"I am an elder of the Ministry of Magic. Naturally, I can make an exception and accept disciples. Now that you have obtained this scroll, it will be constantly updated with the latest research results of the Ministry of Magic. It is equivalent to a confidential document. Once you have it, it is equivalent to becoming a member of the Ministry of Magic.
New members, please do not pass the scroll to others privately in the future, otherwise the scroll will erupt with a powerful explosion."
This explosion mechanism is also to prevent the Ministry of Magic's secrets from being obtained by outsiders, which would cause trouble.
"Yes, I will never tell anyone!"
Rosen and Melissa swore at the same time.
That's not natural. If word spreads, he will definitely be bombed to death.
No matter what he said, Rosen would not dare to do this.
"Although I don't have a mission for you now, I still have a request for you. Within three months, I will give you three months to be certified as a second-level magic swordsman as much as possible."
Elkann looked at Rosen and said: "Melissa has easily certified as a second-level magic swordsman. She has been hiding her strength for a long time, but for you, three months is still a bit of a challenge. Three months later
I will summon you two again and issue a mission that requires a second-level magic swordsman to complete. If you don’t want to hold Melissa back, just hurry up."
When Rosen heard this, he felt a little stressed.
Now that everyone in the kingdom regards vampires as demons, it is not convenient for Rosen to reveal his vampire abilities, so he can only use a combination of magic spells and sword skills.
If encountering a really difficult task, Rosen might really be held back.
Of course, he will definitely try his best to reach the second level within three months.
It has to be said that Elkann is much stricter than the Green Goblin, perhaps because a strict teacher makes a good disciple.
Being able to compete with a genius like Melissa puts a lot of pressure on Rosen.
You must know that his predecessor didn't actually have much talent. The talent he displays now comes entirely from the wisdom embodied by Rosen's mental age of hundreds of years.
After leaving Elkann, Rosen and Melissa traveled together.
"Are you interested in visiting my home?" Melissa suddenly invited: "After all, you are my only junior brother, would you like me to be friendly as a senior sister?"
"Wait, why am I a junior brother?" Rosen was still a little uncomfortable with it.
After all, my mental age is hundreds of years old.
Of course, Melissa's talent is also unprecedented, and it is not an exaggeration for Rosen to call her senior sister.
"Because you took the initiative to admit defeat just now. Although you drank more drinks than me in the end, you gave up early and you can't lie." Melissa covered her mouth and said with a smile.
"Yes, that's enough." Rosen shrugged.
It was hard to refuse Melissa, so he went with Melissa to visit the Joseph family.
It is said that the ancestor of the Joseph family hundreds of years ago was the famous King Joseph, who was a blood brother of the king of the Kane Kingdom at that time.
However, due to the unfamiliar relationship, they parted ways. Eventually, King Joseph's descendants moved away from the royal capital and took root in Zuoyi Town, where they became the powerful people of Zuoyi Town.
So, to be precise, Melissa has royal blood flowing through her body.
The Joseph family's mansion is also the leading Feng Shui treasure in Zuoyi Town.
With landscapes, insects and birds chirping, the entire mansion is located on a highland manor, with a river flowing in the black forest nearby. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is pleasant.
Since Rosen came to this world, he has rarely seen such top-notch mansions.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the housekeeper. From now on, you can come in and out of here at will and come to see me. We are brothers and sisters, and we should take care of each other in the future."
Due to their previous interactions and their relationship with each other, Melissa's attitude toward Rosen was very friendly.
Take Rosen into a huge mansion deep in the manor.
"Miss Melissa." A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed eyes and a calm expression walked out, but he bowed respectfully to Melissa.
"Steward Mo, this is my junior brother, Elkann's disciple. From now on, he can come in and out of here at any time. If he has any request, you should regard it as my request and satisfy him." Melissa said casually.
After taking a serious look at Rosen, Butler Mo nodded and said, "Yes, Miss Melissa."
It turns out that this butler’s name only has the character Mo, so he is called Butler Mo.
Just as Melissa was walking in front, Butler Mo greeted Rosen in a friendly manner and said, "I wonder what your name is, sir?"
"Just call me Rosen." Rosen felt a little unfamiliar.
"Mr. Rosen, Miss Melissa is the apple of the master's eye and the hope of our Joseph family. I hope Mr. Rosen will take more care of her in the future," Butler Mo actually said.
After hearing this, Rosen's attitude towards Butler Mo also improved a lot. He was a butler who had feelings for his master's family. It can be seen that although the Joseph family is a large family, there should be no such intrigues.
From the moment you enter, the entire environment exudes harmony and solemnity.
"My parents only show up occasionally, and this is just a property owned by them. I will introduce you to them another day when my parents are here," Melissa said.
Hey guys, one of those properties?
I learned from Ada that the Joseph family is the largest taxpayer in Zuoyi Town, with the tax amount being twice that of the Bode family.
Putting aside the possibility of tax evasion and tax fraud by the Bode family, the Joseph family's property already far exceeds that of Senluodian, and is second to none in Zuoyi Town.
Compared with the Joseph family, Rosen's Senluo Palace is just a little baby that has just started...
