Chapter 23 Adrian

Harvey found Jared again because he wanted him to introduce himself to the Brenda Theatre Company. This is not a difficult task. They also need to entertain some local aristocrats after their performances in the opera house.

Harvey didn’t want to miss the opportunity to contact the real caster, Jared readily agreed.

When the two came to the backstage of the opera house, they could see many luxuriously dressed people coming and going, most of them holding flowers or gifts. Harvey noticed that most of the flowers and gifts were given to the girl who played Eva. She is the protagonist of this drama, and her appearance is not bad, of course she will be popular.

Harvey asked Jared to introduce him to the head of the Brenda Theatre Company, the Brendas.

There are also many people talking with them. Jared walked over and took off his hat and bowed slightly: “Excuse me, Mr. Brenda, this is my friend Harvey Adrian. He has been talking to your theater group. I am looking forward to it and hope to get acquainted with you.”

“Oh of course, I’m Maxwell Brenda. This is my wife Alina. I’m glad to meet you.” Maxwell smiled and stretched out his right hand to Harvey. He has a short beard and a long body. Thin, handsome face calm and gentle, Harvey’s still charismatic appearance turned dull in front of him. He did not introduce his wife’s surname, because most women in this era married with their husband’s surname.

Harvey recognizes that he is the person who played Eva’s father on the stage just now.

His wife, with her long blonde hair curled up, wearing a conservative classical blue dress, with a warm face, nodded slightly to say hello to Harvey. The people around the two frowned and glanced at Harvey, dissatisfied with the two young men who suddenly intervened.

Harvey smiled and stretched out his right hand and shook Maxwell: “I’m Harvey Adrian, and I’m very happy to meet you. What Mr. Jared said just now is not entirely true. Your theater troupe performed It’s very interesting, and I always thought they were very boring things before I watched your theater troupe performances.”

“Haha, I am very happy to change Mr. Adrian’s view on drama. It is a great honor for us.”

While chatting, another person interjected: “Mr. Brenda, your performance just now was really perfect. I seem to have seen the wise King of Jean in your body.”

“Mr. Brenda, I wonder if our Jacob family will be lucky enough to invite your theater troupe to dinner?”

Harvey looked at those people. Before being squeezed out, he stretched out his head and hurriedly asked: “Mr. Brenda, I am very interested in your performance by the theater group, especially in terms of magic props. I meet that magician?”

Maxwell stretched out his hand to signal the others to stay calm and look at Harvey with a little surprise. He was the only one who raised this question to him. After thinking about it for a while, he said: “I have no right to decide the meeting of others. The person in charge of drama magic props Mr. Kenneth is in the next room, you can go to him if you need it, but Mr. Kenneth has never liked contact with strangers.”

“thank you very much.”

Harvey leaned to thank him, turned and left here to find the magician. After Jared’s introduction, he also said goodbye to Harvey.

When he came to the prop room mentioned by Maxwell, he knocked on the wooden door. After the door opened, standing in front of Harvey was a thin old man with frosty hair and simple linen clothes. His eyes looked like The twilight old man was so turbid and dim, when he saw Harvey, he was taken aback, and then a strange light passed by.

“Hello, this is Harvey Adrian.” Harvey sighed and took off his hat to bow.

“Adrian? No wonder…” the old man babbled and nodded for a long time: “My name is Kenneth Randolph, Mr. Adrian, what can you do with me?”

Hearing his respectful name Harvey stunned, he nodded subconsciously: “The magic performance of this drama is really great. I heard Mr. Brenda say that you are the caster in charge of magic items, so I want Visit you once.”

Hearing Harvey complimenting the effects of his magical items, Kenneth’s gully old face slowed down, and he turned back to the room hoarsely and said: “It’s not convenient to stand in the hallway to talk. Come in first.”

This room was originally a vacant room in the theater. Now it is full of props that are needed for theatrical performances. The scene layout and all kinds of strange dressing clothes are available, including armor, weapon props, gothic dresses, and prisoner costumes. In addition, you can see a simple workbench filled with transparent crystals of different shapes. Kenneth came to the workbench full of crystals and sat down and slowly said, “I thought that the Adrian family would never show any more spellcasters.”

He actually also knows the Adrian family?

Harvey was taken aback, and he remembered that his family’s reputation was not so great that anyone outside of Elroy was known.

Kenneth caught a glimpse of the surprise on Harvey’s face and continued to explain: “The Adrian family is still quite famous in the Wizarding Association of the Barron Kingdom. At least in my time, that Adrian represented the genius among the civilian spellcasters. , It’s a pity that he died early, otherwise the Adrian family is now probably the leading clan in the capital.”

At the end, Kenneth’s face was a little bit lonely and self-deprecating for some reason.

Harvey thought about it for a while and stepped forward and said respectfully: “Mr. Randolph, can you tell me something about the Adrian family? I have never understood this aspect of my family, and my parents don’t seem to want to. About the caster.”

Kenneth didn’t mind, playing with his crystal slowly and said, “It looks like you don’t know anything about your family or magic. This is of course. After all, it is a commoner. Once there is an accident, the family’s magic knowledge will be passed on. Fracture. It’s all past things, no matter what, I have been tossing these illusion crystals for a long time, and I haven’t communicated with others for a long time.”

He shook his head, his old voice was full of self-deprecating.

“Your grandfather , Adrian is very famous in our time, because he broke the curse that civilians can never become a higher mages…”

“At that time I was just an apprentice. Adrian was the hope of almost all civilian spellcasters, including me.”

······

The old man continued to talk for more than half an hour. Harvey has a deeper understanding of the caster. In the eyes of the caster, blood is a very critical factor. It is related to the affinity between the caster and the spell network, and occasionally among civilians. There will be highly talented spellcasters, but civilian backgrounds represent a limited level of knowledge. Unless they are excavated from an early age and receive orthodox education, no matter how talented civilian spellcasters are, they are all “Muggles.”

Now the situation has improved a lot. With the decline of magic, some magic families are very willing to recruit magicians with foreign surnames, and they are also willing to share some basic spellcasting knowledge.

The founder of the Adrian family is a commoner spellcaster. His experience seems to outsiders to be legendary. In a very short period of time, he achieved the achievements of the upper spellcaster, standing at the peak of the spellcaster in the Barron kingdom at that time. But so far, the official has only announced Adrian’s death without releasing any other information. At that time, the heirs of the Adrian family did not have much magical talents themselves, and they had no choice but to move out of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Barron when they lost their backbone to inherit the nobles. I came to live in El Roy.

As for Kenneth, who claims to be an unwilling middle caster, chooses to serve the Brenda Theater to earn pension expenses. From his tone, it can be seen that he has respect for the surname Adrian.

-I didn’t expect the Adrian family to have some background, so the weird caster in Maxwell’s mouth was willing to pay attention to himself.

Harvey secretly rejoices in his origin.
