I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

After hearing what Dick said, Leon smiled indifferently.

"Well... my dear brother, I'm sure you know that the gap between people is huge. Have you forgotten my nickname? The Dragon of the Swamp."

Dick seemed a little defensive when he heard the nickname, but he couldn't refute it.

They are old now, so naturally they won't live in the castle to avoid suspicion.

Ivers kept more than a dozen women, plus the maids and cooks who took care of daily life. There were hundreds of women in Sheldon Castle. It was from them that Leon's nickname came.

Later, Ivers even considered letting Leon become independent early and leave Sheldon Castle.

But because her son was too young, O'Garrie, who loved her son dearly, resolutely rejected his suggestion and scolded Ivers.

There was no other way, so Ivers had to order people to keep an eye on Leon and his mistresses. They were just for fun and to relieve boredom, and Ivers didn't believe these women would remain loyal to him.

In addition, Leon is handsome, young and energetic, and can be called the female killer in the castle.

In short, even the original body has realized that his adoptive father is a narrow-minded person. To put it more broadly, he is intolerant of others.

It’s no wonder that the relationships among the previous generation were so complicated, and even the older generation of retainers went their separate ways.

……

Leon shook his wine glass, as if he suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand, and invited Dick to sit next to him.

"Dick, I remember you seem to have two wizard apprentice prisoners?"

Dick naturally didn't sit down, still staring at Leon.

"Don't be nervous, I can buy it, how about it?"

Looking at Leon, confident, calm, and charming...Pah!

Dick had a complicated expression.

“Leon, you’ve changed.

Is it because you are about to break through to become a senior wizard apprentice?"

"Well... maybe."

Dick felt an inexplicable rage rising up in him. He hated Leon's... indifferent look.

It made him feel like a clown!

Dick casually threw the wine glass aside. The crisp sound made several men not far away stop what they were doing.

“Haha, it seems that the senior wizard apprentice has given my brother a lot of courage.

However, there are differences between senior wizard apprentices.

Just wait and see, I will make you realize it."

With that, Dick turned and left.

But he took just two steps and turned back, this time he and Leon were very close.

Dick leaned down and whispered in Leon's ear:

"By the way, you'd better break through quickly. I'm looking forward to meeting you in the Black Bone Forest.

We are brothers, right? I will take good care of you."

Dick sneered and returned to the lively dance floor.

Will you take good care of me?

I think... I'm looking forward to it too.

As far as he could remember, Dick did have two low-level wizard apprentices as prisoners.

These two were Dick's trophies, and he would throw them out to humiliate them every now and then.

Leon still wanted to try it out. How much stronger would absorbing the soul of a wizard apprentice be than absorbing the soul of an ordinary person, and how much improvement would it bring to him?

Since Dick couldn't get through here, he could only wait until he broke through to become a senior wizard apprentice and then tell his family.

There are quite a few prisoners in the dungeon. Most of them have been used as experimental materials by his mother and others. Leon thinks it is such a waste.

……

The noise gradually died down, and as the eldest son, Leon had to accompany his elders to see the guests off.

He still politely declined the invitations of young women and girls, but was inevitably touched by several women pretending to be drunk.

Especially there was an aunt who had something on him, so Leon didn't dare to neglect her and could only make an excuse to come again later.

Leon remained calm and true to his heart, which made his aunt feel regretful, but also felt that it was not a loss. Before leaving, she and the two little sisters kept talking about how good-looking he was, and how he lived up to his reputation, and was worthy of being called the dragon of the swamp...

The weather was getting colder, and Leon had a feeling that a breakthrough would come in the next two days, so he did not leave the castle after the dinner.

O'Gary knew that he was just one step away from a breakthrough, so she specially sent him a bottle of star magic potion.

Leon was touched, but he couldn't refuse hypocritically, so he accepted it with gratitude.

Seeing that her son was not polite to her at all, O'Gary seemed even happier.

She has always disliked the traditions of the Shelton family. In her opinion, as long as a child has not yet married and started a family, he or she is still a grown-up child and should stay by the family's side.

But the Sheldon family is not her mother's family, Elizabeth's family, after all, so she can only send someone to give Leon some food or some pocket money every once in a while.

……

Leon watched his mother leave, then immediately returned to his bedroom and told the servants not to disturb him.

Looking at the potion in his hand that was emitting starlight, Leon was excited.

Star Magic Potion can bring significant benefits even to first-level wizards.

There are also higher-level potions such as Moonlight and Sunlight above it.

Its main function is to improve the quality of the wizard's magic.

Quality means quality plus quantity.

After drinking the potion, Leon immediately entered seclusion mode.

It took a whole night for Leon to not only successfully break through to the advanced wizard apprentice, but also take a big step forward on the basis of consolidating his realm.

Just this bottle of star magic potion saved Leon half a year of training.

As expected, financial resources are indispensable no matter which world you are in.

After the breakthrough, Leon took a nice hot bath.

The new maid saw that Leon was in a good mood and spoke to him boldly.

An hour later, Leon finished his shower, dressed neatly, and walked out of the room feeling refreshed.

"You should also know my rules. You don't need to do anything else today, just have a good rest. By the way, as before, I will talk to the butler and increase your treatment a little." Leon turned around and said this to the two maids.

After saying that, Leon left directly. Listening to the footsteps gradually going away, the two girls looked at each other and felt a little shy.

Satisfied and regretful, at least they were able to talk to Master Leon. This was the state and mood of the two maids at the moment.

Because Leon did not let their little thoughts come true, otherwise if he got lucky and added a new child to the Sheldon family, he would definitely be able to soar to the sky and would no longer have to do the work of serving others.

……

Leon just arrived at the restaurant and was about to have a big meal, but he saw old Payton standing upright.

"Master, Master knows that you have made a breakthrough and wants you to come to the study to have a chat."

Leon nodded, and before he could say anything, old Peyton winked playfully.

"Master, the master has prepared a feast for you."

"Hahaha, what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Ivers' study is very large. It not only has bookshelves and desks, but also a special dining table, wine cabinet, etc.

Sometimes Ivers finished his work late and didn't want to go to the restaurant, so he had his meals delivered directly to his study.

When they arrived at the door of the study, the door was not closed. Old Peyton knocked on the door twice gently, then turned slightly and asked Leon to go in first.

"Master, the young master is here."

Ivers, who was already sitting at the dining table, raised his head and waved to Leon.

"Good! Very good! Leon, come sit next to me."

Ivers looked happy, but Leon had a strange sense of déjà vu.

It was as if he had seen this scene not long ago...
