"Well..." Lance touched his head: "I learned a little, just a little."
Vitez was unhappy all of a sudden: "You guy, how come you can never change your laziness! You have said that in front of father, why don't you still take it seriously at all!"
"I have my own plan, big brother."
"When do you have your own plan since you were a child?" Vitez said with a helpless look like a big brother: "Forget it, it's impossible to expect you to make progress on your own. I recently got a new gadget. Come and try it."
As he spoke, he flipped his wrist and a crystal ball appeared in his hand.
"This is..." Lance looked at the crystal ball in confusion.
"I bought it at an auction two days ago." Vitez said: "I just thought that you must be lazy again, so I bought it for you! This is a magic energy detector, you can put your hand on it and try to inject your magic energy, and then how much your current magic power is will be displayed on it."
Lance looked at Vitez differently. This should be an extremely heartwarming scene, but at this time, Vitez's state was still neutral. He raised his hand, but hesitated.
"Why are you dawdling?" Vitez said displeasedly, "I won't scold you if you can't do it. I just want to know what your situation is now. If father blame you, I can help you explain well."
After he said these words, Lance knew he couldn't escape. Moreover, neutrality was actually not a bad state, right? Not thinking more, Lance gritted his teeth and put his hand on the crystal ball. With the injection of his magic power, a glimmer of light appeared in it.
That's right, just a glimmer! It was similar to the tungsten filament of a low-voltage tungsten filament light bulb.
Lance looked at Vitez: "Big brother, what does this mean?"
Vitez touched his chin: "I don't know, but the auctioneer at that time can made this thing look like a candlestick. You...Lance, you shouldn't have enough power to summon a high-level undead."
"I don't know either." Lance looked depressed: "I've been studying for five days but haven't even learned a normal lighting magic."
This was what he wassaying from the bottom of his heart. He really hadn't learned a normal lighting magic!
"Alas." Vitez sighed, looking at Lance with a bit of helplessness: "Just wait until the father punishes you!"
Lance smiled: "Won't my eldest and second brothers interceding for me?"
"No way." Subaru snorted coldly: "It would be great if I don't add insult to injury you then. If you don't have the ability, you should be punished. The demon's weak is the original sin! Big brother, are you done? Don't you hold a banquet like this just for me and third brother here to chat with you?"
"Look at how impatient you are." Vitez shook his head: "Okay, okay, you can do what you do. By the way, Lance."
"Huh? What else?"
"That half-succubus." Vitez pointed at Barbara, "Just watch her mouth and don't cause any trouble for me again."
Lance looked embarrassed: "I know."
Lance himself was curious. How did Barbara, a talkative who couldn't survive more than three episodes if she was in a TV series, could survive to this day?
"Then do your own business." Vitez was very tired: "What happened just now has caused so much trouble that no one dares to come over even if we talk now."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and then a curtain was pulled open, revealing a demon band. With this snap of fingers, most of the candlelight in the banquet was extinguished, making the entire banquet hall dim. On the roof, some crystal stones began to glow, projecting the light into an open space in the center of the banquet.
"Everyone, the party begins!"
Following his voice, there was a burst of applause, and then demons were seen inviting their dance partners one by one. Within a short while, several couples of dancers appeared in the open space in the center.
"Have fun." Vitez looked at his two brothers and smiled, then walked towards a few demons.
Subaru didn't even say anything to Lance and went straight to Nicole. Lance breathed a long sigh of relief, but he found that even if the light was dim, there were still many unknown demons staring at him. His eyes swept around the banquet hall. Damn it, the sinister atmosphere was getting stronger again!
He shook his body and walked quickly towards Barbara!
But this time, his way was blocked before he could take two steps.
This was a demon with two wings. She in a light red dress stood in front of Lance, lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, could I be your dance partner?"
Lance looked at her nose-less face and refused directly: "Sorry, I can't dance."
With that said, he walked directly sideways. Miss Winged Demon bit her lip with a look of reluctance.
But before taking two steps, he was stopped again.
The demon who stopped him this time was a red-skinned girl who looked like an orc from a certain animation. She was almost three meters tall and her arms were thicker than Lance's legs. Two long fangs protruded from the upper lip and almost touched the chin.
This girl's voice was so fucking manly: "Your Highness, can I ask you to dance?"
Damn it! Lance was going to curse! But he could only say with a smile: "I'm sorry, miss, we.. we are not suitable."
"It doesn't matter!" The girl stretched out her palm that could crush his head: "I can just hold you and dance."
Lance made a move with his foot and made the girl's movement fail. He walked over directly. "Sorry, I have a dance partner."
Likewise, he was stopped again before he could even take two steps. Lance turned aside mechanically. The women at the banquet looked at him like a hungry wolf who had seen meat!
"I have a dance partner, sorry." Lance didn't wait for the other party to speak and walked over directly. He had to get to Barbara quickly! He now deeply understood the feeling of the heroine in some novels being surrounded by a group of men and fawning over her.
Barbara was eating cake at a dining table, and there were two demon girls beside her. One was a white-bone demon, half of her body is made up of exposed bones, and the other was a succubus with a voluptuous body and a bat face.
When he approached Barbara, he heard a conversation among them.
"His Highness likes money! Don't believe it? He really likes money or other valuable things!"
"How can His Highness like money if he is a prince?"
"Who knows? Anyway, he just likes it." Barbara said with a serious look: "You know that His Highness brought some human magicians into his house, right? He forces them to make fireworks scrolls every day and sell them all. Each one costs almost a thousand gold coins!"
"Really? Isn't His Highness going to learn magic?"
"Why am I lying to you!" Barbara continued: "I'm telling you, it's actually very simple to get close to His Highness. I can recommend you to meet him! You... um... Miss Bone, I think your chain is pretty good. Is it always worn close to your body?"
"Y...yes."
"Give it to me and I will show it to His Highness." Barbara smiled like a profiteer: "I will introduce it to him when the time comes. His Highness will definitely be curious about who this necklace belongs to. At that time I can recommend you in front of him."
"Really!" The bone demon was overjoyed. She quickly took off the necklace and handed it to Barbara: "Sorry to trouble you! I was fascinated by His Highness when I saw him today!"
"It's piece of a cake!" Barbara almost laughed to her ears.
And the succubus lady suddenly panicked: "Miss Barbara, you can't be partial! You see, we are of the same race, so please help me. I... I have wanted to know His Highness for a long time! "
Barbara looked at her and she quickly took off a bracelet from her hand: "This is what I wear personally too!"
Lance almost became angry when he heard their words! Oh shit! This shameful succubus is actually using his name to pimp her business!
