Demon Laws
Chapter 58: The Richest Widow in the Empire
Dewey thought for a moment.
Dewey had heard of the Marchioness Liszt. Marchioness is not a hereditary title, but a lifelong title. That title can only be owned for life and cannot be passed on to the next generation.
Originally Marchioness Liszt was a widow, her husband was the uncle of the current emperor, Augustine VI, a duke. However, surprisingly, the Duke was ten years younger than His Imperial Majesty. This is not strange in the royal family.
Lady Liszt was born into a family of famous maritime merchants in the empire. At the age of 15, she was beautiful since childhood, married to Her Majesty's uncle – Duke in his forties. Unfortunately, at the age of 22, she became a widow.
The Duke was too weak and was called by God before he was 50 years old. After the Duke left, His Imperial Majesty bestowed the title of marchioness upon the poor widow. Based on the imperial edict, such a lifelong title could not be inherited.
Afterwards, there was a rumor that His Imperial Majesty, Augustine VI, had inappropriate thoughts towards his young and beautiful aunt. A few years ago, when the rumors got hotter, the, The 30-year-old Marchioness moved from the imperial capital and lived alone in the ancestral home located in the northern region of Aileng Province to dodge the rumors in the imperial capital. After becoming a widow, the Marchioness returned to use her family surname, Liszt. The wealthy Marchioness Liszt was quite famous among the imperial nobility.
Although he was unable to inherit the duchess title, the deceased Duke had no heir so a large inheritance was left to his young wife. In addition, Lady Liszt's father who was a great maritime merchant also left an astonishing fortune for the princess.
This woman was even given a less proper nickname among the nobility, the richest widow in the empire.
Those are all documents Dewey knew about the Marchioness Liszt.
“Oh, Marchioness Liszt. I've heard his name.” Dewey asked in as relaxed a tone as possible. “If you can tell, what diseases does Marchioness have?”
Telling this, Dardanelle and the others immediately looked furious. It was Dardanelle who replied, “Aish, this is the shame of the Liszt.” family
But he still said it.
Goddess Theia seemed to love the Marchioness, who was now 33 years old, thus giving her matchless beauty. Dewey had never seen her, but had heard her name.
Listen, the Marchioness has skin as smooth as milk that is unmatched by girls, eyes as beautiful as sapphires, her hair as charming as the sun on the Lancang Canal in the summer. Age seemed to be unable to leave any trace on his body.
When in the imperial capital, the woman had dazzled many nobles. It was only fitting that His Majesty the Emperor was interested in him.
The Marchioness, who had moved into the ancestral home to avoid rumors, was still unable to avoid the trouble caused by her beautiful face. Two months ago, when the Marchioness took her entourage to the edge of town as usual, she met a bandot.
To be more precise, that bandit was an old bastard.
According to Dardanelle's description, the old man was wearing a green robe and holding a green flute. As soon as he saw the Marchioness, his eyes twinkled, he immediately approached. Not only did she praise the Marchioness' beauty with frivolous words, she also insisted on playing a song for the Marchioness.
That bad action made the Marchioness followers very angry back then. In the hearts of the followers, the beautiful Marchioness was like a goddess.
“If it wasn't for the old man's robe like a magician's robe, we'd have already thrown him into the river!” dardanelle maki.
“Magic?” Dewey.
“No, I don't think she's a witch.” Dardanelle. “The robe model is very similar, but I have never seen a witch wearing a green robe. Mr. Harry Potter, you are a witch. Do you know what level of magicians within the Magic Union are wearing green robes? It doesn't seem like anything, does it?”
Quietly for a moment, Dardanelle continued to explain. “We did not teach him a lesson not because he suspected she was a witch, but because the Madam was too kind. That day, among the people who went with the Madam was a holy knight from the Temple of Light, the Gopher Knight. Mr. Gopher is a great knight. His martial arts were famous in the imperial capital. At that time, he came to represent the temple to thank the Marchioness for the donations given to the temple. With the presence of Mr. Gopher, let alone a fake witch, even a real witch can be beaten by Mr. Gopher.”
Dewey didn't say anything about it.
The saint knight was already the top person among the knights, let alone the holy knight of the Temple of Light. Dewey knew that the holy knight in the Temple of Light. Dewey knew that the holy knights in the Temple of Light were stronger than ordinary knights. The weapons and equipment of the holy knights added light magic and had special effects. Some high level saint knights could even use magic.
A great knight as well as a high-level saint knight had a chance to defeat an ordinary mage.
It turned out very easy.
Gopher is a very arrogant man. As a knight, seeing the beautiful noble mistress being bullied in front of him, his knight spirit should certainly be shown.
As a result the knight gave the green-robed fake witch a lesson.
However, Dardanelle says that the knight did not win because the fake witch ran fast.
However, before leaving, the fake witch who failed to tease the Marchioness said, “You will know the consequences of offending me. Just wait for the curse from me! You are very beautiful, but I will make your beauty freeze forever like a stone.”
When saying that, Dardanelle's expression was grim. “Although the person is not like a witch, but the curse is like no playfulness.”
Three days later, the Marchioness fell ill. His skin began to harden little by little. Initially only partially, over time spread.”
The people of the Liszt family were panicking and looking for many healers, but all of them were helpless. Finally, they found hope from the explanation of a pharmaceutical witch. “It may be a kind of petrifying curse, not an ordinary petrifying technique. Witches can't cure it either.”
If you want to escape the curse it must be done by the person who gave the curse, or ….
“Or find some kind of magical beast called a golden-eyed Piton in the Frozen Forest and grab his eyes. That should come in handy.” Dardanelle said firmly. “Marchioness is the goddess of the Liszt family. Every knight of honor Marchioness is willing to die for her, so we came here.”
Dewey sighed, but his feelings were not as calm as they seemed.
Curse spell? That's a curse spell?!
It seems Dardanelle doesn't understand magic.
The green-robed man must be a witch. A very great one.
A curse spell is a very high spell. Some high-level magicians were not necessarily able to learn it.
Dewey thought for a moment and looked around. The old witch went nowhere. But Dewey believes if he wants to go home, he will definitely be arrested again.
Before leaving, the old man said that he would come back to look for her, don't even think about leaving.
“Good.” Dewey sighed. “I happen to want to take a look at the Frozen Forest, better be with you guys. Maybe I can help.”
Another in the mouth, another in the heart. The old man must have been watching me secretly. With him, there would be no danger, right?
The drug Dewey gave Dardanelle was very effective. Under the influence of medicine, the wound on Dardanelle's leg began to heal. The recovery so fast was amazing.
However, the samurai were not so lucky. The poisonous liquid of the carcass monster could only be cleared by the light magic of the Light Cooler. Therefore, after discussing, only Dardanelle was looking for a golden-eyed Piton with Dewey in the forest.
Two others returned.
Dewey then did the thing that confused the people from the Liszt family. He took out an empty bottle from the bag, then walked to the side of the charred carcass monster, filling the bottle with the poisonous liquid of the carcass monster.
Liquid rot and corrosion might come in handy, Dewey thought.
