Du Wei had heard of the Marquise Liszt. This Marquise was not a hereditary title, but a lifelong title. Such a title could only be held by the person while she was alive, and could not be inherited by future generations.
The Marchioness Liszt was originally a widow, and her husband was the younger uncle of the current emperor Augustine VI, a duke. However, the subtle thing is that the duke was older than the emperor.
Ten years younger... In a large royal family, this phenomenon is not surprising.
Mrs. Lister was born into a family of a famous maritime trading giant in the empire. She was as beautiful as a flower since she was a child. At the age of fifteen, she married His Majesty's uncle, the Duke, who is in his forties. It's a pity.
, became a widow at the age of twenty-two.
The Duke was too weak and was called by the Lord before he was fifty. After the Duke's death, His Majesty the Emperor granted the poor widow a palace title... Marchioness. According to imperial decree, this
This lifelong title cannot be inherited hereditary.
Since then, there have been rumors that His Majesty the Emperor Augustine VI has some inappropriate thoughts about this young and beautiful aunt. A few years ago, when such rumors became more and more serious,
As a result, the thirty-year-old Marquise moved out of the imperial capital and lived alone in an ancestral home in the northern province of Ai Leng to avoid the scandals that were disturbing the imperial capital.
After becoming a widow, the Marchioness returned to her maiden name, Liszt. And the wealth of the Marquise Liszt was quite famous among the aristocratic circles of the empire!
Although she could not inherit the title of the deceased Duke, the deceased Duke had no heirs, but left a large amount of inheritance to his young wife. Moreover, Mrs. Lister's father, a giant merchant in maritime trade, also left a large inheritance to his daughter.
Amazing wealth!
Even in aristocratic circles, this lady has an unflattering nickname: the richest widow in the empire.
This is all the information Duwei knows about the Marquise Liszt.
"Oh, Marquise Liszt. I have heard of this lady's name." Du Wei tried to be as casual as possible and asked: "Can I take the liberty of asking, what kind of strange disease does the respected Marquise have?
"
When this issue was mentioned, Dardaniel and others immediately showed extremely indignant expressions, and it was Dardaniel who spoke: "Oh, this matter is simply a great shame and humiliation for the Liszt family!"
However, he still told the truth.
The thirty-three-year-old Marquise seemed to be a bright woman who particularly favored this woman, giving her youthful beauty that others could hardly imagine. Although Du Wei had never met this lady, he had heard of her reputation.
Legend has it that this Marquise has delicate skin that no girl can match. Her skin is as delicate and smooth as milk, her eyes are as beautiful as sapphires, and her hair is as dazzling as the water of the Lancang Canal glowing with golden sunlight in summer...
...It seems like time cannot leave any traces on her body!
Such a woman once fascinated a large number of nobles when she was in the imperial capital. No wonder even His Majesty the Emperor became lustful towards her.
The Marquise, who returned to her hometown to live in seclusion in order to avoid the scandal, still could not avoid the troubles brought by her beauty. Just two months ago, when the Marquise was outing in the countryside with her entourage as usual, she met a prostitute.
To be precise...that scoundrel is an old bastard!
According to Dardanelle's description, the old guy was wearing a green robe and holding a green flute in his hand. As soon as he saw the Marchioness, his eyes immediately lit up and he came forward to pester her.
He used very frivolous words to praise the beauty of the Marquise, and also asked to play a song for the Marquise.
At that time, this bad behavior made the Marquise's entourage very angry. In the hearts of the entourage, the beautiful Marquise was as noble as a goddess...
"If it weren't for the fact that the old guy's robe looked a bit like a magician... we would have thrown the old bastard into the river this morning!" Dardanelle cursed.
"Magician?" Du Wei frowned.
"No, I don't think he is a magician." Dardanelle shook his head: "The style of that robe is very similar. But I have never seen a magician wearing a green robe. Mr. Harry Potter, you are a magician
Master... Excuse me, among the wizard levels of the Magic Guild, which level of wizards wear green robes? There seems to be none!"
After a pause, Dardanelle continued to explain: "It's not that we didn't dare to teach that guy a lesson because we suspected that he was a magician. In fact, Madam is so merciful. You know, there were people from the light who went out with Madam that day.
A holy knight of the temple, a real great knight, Sir Gofit Knight! Lord Gofit is a great knight, and his martial arts skills are well-known in the imperial capital. That time was to thank the Marquise for her support of the temple.
He came here to express his gratitude on behalf of the temple for donating a huge sum of money. With Lord Gophet by his side, Lord Gophet can take care of him, let alone the fake magician, even if he is a real magician.
"
Du Wei said nothing about this.
The great knight is already the top figure in the knight circle, and he is also a holy knight of the Temple of Light! Du Wei knows that the holy knights of the Temple of Light are more powerful than ordinary knights. Because the weapons and equipment of those holy knights are all
Blessed by light magic, they have some special effects. Even some high-level holy knights can use some magic!
A great knight who is also a high-level holy knight has a chance of winning against an ordinary magician.
"The Marquise was kind-hearted and did not embarrass the guy, but the guy kept pestering her... and the result..."
The result is very simple.
That Gophet was obviously a proud guy. As a knight, he saw a stunningly beautiful aristocratic lady being molested under his own eyes. Of course, he had to put his chivalry into full play.
As a result, Mr. Knight took action to "teach" the fake magician in green robes.
But according to Dardanelle's description, it seems that the knight did not take advantage because the fake magician escaped very quickly.
However, before leaving, the fake magician who failed to tease him said harshly: "If you offend me, there will be no good consequences for you. Just wait for my curse! You are very beautiful, but I will let you
The beauty is frozen forever... just like a stone!"
At this point, Dardaniel's face turned gloomy: "Although that guy doesn't look like a magician, his curse seems to be true."
Three days later, the Marquise fell ill. Some of the skin on her body began to harden and petrify bit by bit! First a small part, and then gradually spread...
The Liszt family panicked and searched all the doctors to no avail. Finally, they found hope with the answer of a magic pharmacist: this may be a petrification curse. It is not an ordinary petrification spell, but even magic.
It cannot be lifted by any teacher.
To lift this curse, unless the person who cast the curse casts the spell himself. Or...
"Alternatively, it would be useful to go to the frozen forest and look for a magical beast called the Golden-Eyed Python, and take out its eyes and bring them back." Dardaniel said with determination: "The Marquise is the goddess of the Liszt family.
!Every honorary knight of the Marchioness is willing to die for her! So we came here."
Du Wei sighed, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed!
Curse? It’s actually a curse?!
It seems that this Dardaniel really doesn’t know much about magic!
That guy in the green robe must be a magician! And a very powerful magician at that!
Curse is a very advanced spell in magic! It is something that even some advanced magicians cannot learn in their lifetime!
Du Wei thought for a moment and looked around. He didn't know where the old magician had gone. However, Du Wei believed that if he wanted to go home, he would probably be caught.
Because the old guy said before he left that he would come back to find him! Then don’t even think about running away...
"Okay." Du Wei sighed: "I'm going to take a look around in the frozen forest, so why not stay with you. Maybe I can help."
He said this, but he was thinking in his heart: "That old guy must be watching me secretly. With him here, I guess there won't be any danger."
•;
The medicine Du Wei gave Dardaniel was very effective. Soon, under the stimulation of the magic potion, the wound muscles on Dardaniel's leg began to heal. The squirming and growing appearance of the granulations that could be seen with the naked eye was amazing.
.
But the scimitar warrior was not so lucky. The venom of the carrion monster could only be driven away by using light magic in the temple. Therefore, after discussing it, it was decided that Dardaniel and Du Wei would be alone in the forest.
The search for the golden-eyed python continues.
The other two injured people set out to go back.
Du Wei next did something that made the people of the Liszt family very strange: he took out an empty bottle from the baggage, then walked to the burnt carrion monster's body, and carefully collected it.
Some of the venom from the carrion monsters is contained in bottles.
These venoms, which have putrid and corrosive effects, may be useful in the future, Du Wei thought.
