He had just walked out of the magic shop and was considering the young mage's advice on whether to find a magic tutor. An uninvited guest suddenly came to him.

"Your Excellency, Viscount Bai Cang, my lord has invited you."

This was a well-dressed middle-aged man dressed as a butler. He seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Bai Wan, he immediately came up to him, saluted respectfully and said.

"Oh? Who is your adult?"

The pale brows raised, and his eyes calmly glanced at the whirlwind pattern of the noble family emblem on the other person's chest. He had already made a guess in his mind, but on the surface he still pretended to be confused.

"My lord is the lord of Melos City - the Grand Duke of Melos."

The middle-aged butler smiled slightly. He was somewhat rigid and serious, and when he talked about his master, there was a trace of pride on his wrinkled face.

"I wonder if Grand Duke Melos has anything to do with me?"

Bai Bai nodded slightly, secretly thinking that as expected, he turned to ask in confusion.

"I'm sorry, as a servant, I don't know what the master means. I'm afraid you have to ask the Viscount yourself."

"All right."

After pondering for a moment, Wanwan probably guessed that this should be a chain reaction caused by his fabricated timeline. He was also a little curious about the next development, so he followed the butler towards the Melos Family Castle.

Xiaobai, the black dragon who was following him, was very discerning and did not cause trouble at this moment. He understood what he should do as a follower, and just followed behind Bai Bai silently without saying a word.

The Melos family, the first hereditary Duke of the Sder Empire.

The strength and heritage of a noble family can be reflected in many aspects such as fiefdoms, subjects, and private soldiers. But in the extraordinary magical world, where the individual strength is greater than the group, these are all secondary.

The most important standard of strength is the legendary strong man! A family with a legendary strong man is a duke. Grand Duke Melos is the legendary warrior who ranks first among the four Dukes in terms of combat power, and his title is the Sword of the Storm!

With such legendary top-level combat power, the Melos family can only imagine how powerful they are. It can be said that they are the most powerful nobles in the Sder Empire besides the royal family.

But contrary to the huge power of their family, the members of the Melos bloodline are very rare, and can even be said to be sparsely populated.

There are actually only four family members with the surname Melos:

Grand Duke Melos - Noel Melos, and his wife Mrs. Melos;

The eldest son of the Melos family: Fitch Melos, the future heir to the Duke of Melos;

And the little princess of the Melos family: Ariel Melos.

A family of four, this kind of family is very common in modern society, so it's not a big deal. But in a noble family, it's very outrageous. Normal nobles don't want to be transformed into stallions, and they want to spread the branches and leaves of the family.

The Melos family is truly an alternative. A duke-level noble only marries one wife. Could this be true love? No, in fact, it is just that as a strong man, Grand Duke Melos restrains his own desires.

There is nothing much to say about Mrs. Melos. It is a marriage between nobles. But having a husband like Grand Duke Melos, powerful and capable, and not messy? This is probably the happiest ending for a noble canary.

As the head of the family, Noel Melos is also the current Grand Duke of Melos. He is self-disciplined, tough, wise and courageous, coupled with his strong martial arts talent, he can be regarded as an iconic figure among the legendary strong men.

If Grand Duke Melos is a perfect template for a strong man, then his eldest son Fitch Melos is a true template for a genius nobleman.

Not only has he been the designated heir of the family since he was a child, he has also inherited his father's martial arts talent and self-discipline. With his aristocratic education since childhood, he can be considered a perfect heir.

Now only 20 years old, he is already a high-level warrior. There are rumors from the outside world that when he becomes a legend, it will be time to inherit the Melos family.

As the youngest daughter, Ariel is truly the little princess of the Melos family who is loved by all.

Unlike his son who has strict requirements, Grand Duke Melos is very doting on his daughter. Basically, she can be said to be obedient, which also allows her to grow up in the care and love of the whole family since she was a child.

However, the love of her family not only did not allow Ariel to develop an arrogant and domineering character, but she became extremely well-behaved and sensible. This naturally attracted the love of the Melos couple.

Under the leadership of the middle-aged butler, Wanwan arrived at Melos Castle in the center of the aristocratic district. From the outside, the huge castle looked like a giant beast lying on the ground, giving people an indestructible sense of majesty.

After entering the castle, the interior looks completely opposite to the strict fortress outside. The magnificent architectural decoration, the elegant and tranquil garden scenery, and the respectful and courteous servants all describe the elegance and magnanimity of the nobility.

In front of the living room, Xiaobai, as a servant, could no longer follow him. With his pale eyes, he was taken away by the servant, leaving him alone to follow the housekeeper to the door with a calm expression.

"My lord the Duke is waiting for you inside, please."

The housekeeper stopped and said respectfully to Wanwan.

Bai Bai nodded calmly, opened the door and walked into the banquet living room. The first thing that caught his eye was the majestic middle-aged man sitting on the main seat.

He didn't have any decorations on his body, only wearing a dark and simple suit. He didn't look like a powerful noble, but like an old-fashioned warrior.

His rough and determined face has a weathered look that ordinary nobles who are pampered and privileged do not have. It is the ravine left by the years. His long brown hair is spread over his shoulders, like the mane of a prairie lion.

He just sat there, his eyes not angry or intimidating. It was as if there was a lion hidden in him, ready to devour anyone at any time, putting great pressure on people.

After seeing the pale man coming in, the scrutinizing gaze fell on him. The power of having been in a high position for a long time and the oppression of the legendary strong man instantly seemed like the sky was falling and was about to crush him.

But for Wanwan, this kind of mental pressure has no effect. The terrifying pressure fell on him like a spring breeze, without any sense of oppression.

The legendary Duke couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the other party was calm and composed in his own power. He couldn't help but nodded in his heart, and there was a touch of recognition and solemnity in his attitude towards Bai Bai.

"sit."

Bai Bai politely performed aristocratic etiquette to Noel, and then slowly sat down. His etiquette and demeanor could be said to be impeccable. He could see that the other party was not the kind of aristocrat who liked to argue, so he asked straight to the point.

road.

"I wonder why the Duke came here specifically to find me?"

But the other party's answer was beyond his expectation.

"It's nothing. I heard that you came to Melos City, so I just came to see you."

Noel waved his hand and said, with a trace of reminiscence appearing on his face, and even a rare kindness from his elders.

"The last time I saw you was more than ten years ago, and you were just a little kid. I didn't expect you to grow so big in a blink of an eye."

pale:"……"

Well, he made a mistake in judgment. He didn't expect that the other party, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also likes to play the aristocratic game.

But believe me, this wandering noble's viscount status was obtained by fabricating the timeline. The other party thought he knew him only because he had acted in Melos City for convenience.

Therefore, an identity setting of "distant relative of the Melos family" was added. Duke Melos's memory of him is just an automatic completion mechanism for the identity of the timeline.

Knowing the reason clearly, Bai Wan naturally would not take the other party's polite words seriously. On the contrary, he even secretly increased his vigilance because of the other party's scheming.

Why do you think a top legendary powerhouse would be friendly and courteous to an inexplicable distant relative? He even has a very kind attitude towards his own descendants?

It can only mean that the other party has bad intentions...

"Really? I don't have any memory."

Bai Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and responded in a show-off.

"You were still young at that time, so it's normal that you have no memory. But I didn't expect that you would wander around after inheriting your father's title. You must have suffered a lot outside in recent years."

What Grand Duke Melos said is indeed very popular. If Wanwan is really a "wandering nobleman" who is down and out and suffering, suddenly a great relative, Corporal Lixian, appears and says that he understands the suffering you have suffered in recent years.

Maybe it is really possible to be moved by the other party's heartfelt words, and then bow down and become the other party's little brother.

"If you have any difficulties or need help, you can just tell me."

In the end, Grand Duke Melos said very grandly, as if I will solve it for you as long as you ask. But it is difficult to say whether this gesture is true or false.

It's a pity that whether Wanwan will act with him or not depends solely on his own wishes. Thinking of the plot of being the younger brother, Wanwan really has no interest in continuing to act.

What's the saying? "If you show courtesy for nothing, you will become a traitor or a thief." Do you believe it when someone comes to help someone and says they have no agenda?

"No need for help."

He declined with a calm smile and a pale expression, and then skillfully changed the subject.

"Although I have traveled around in the past few years, I have not endured hardships. On the contrary, it is precisely because of my travels in the past few years that I have seen many interesting people and strange things."

But unlike the pale indifferent calm, Grand Duke Melos felt a little strange in his heart.

Because in his cognitive memory, it was almost a consensus in the aristocratic circle that Wanwan was living in embarrassment as a "wandering noble". But looking at his calm and courteous smile and calm and calm demeanor, it didn't look like he was killing a duck.

Hard-spoken.

No matter how much he thought about it, he never imagined that someone in this world could fabricate a timeline and create an identity out of thin air.

Just out of some calculation and consideration, Grand Duke Melos needed to use him. So at this time, he specially invited a small "wandering noble" to have a private conversation.

He had different thoughts in his mind, but on his face, Grand Duke Melos still looked like an amiable elder. He didn't mention anything about help at the moment, so he opened the topic and talked with him about the so-called strange people and strange things he had seen in the past few years.

As the two of them started talking about each other in unison, the conversation became more and more animated. On the surface, the two of them seemed to be friends who had "happily talked with each other" for many years.
