I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1542 - 1546: Which Hospital Let This Guy Out

The evening banquet concluded in a warm and peaceful atmosphere, and everyone was quite happy today. Even Raditz's father and grandfather couldn't help but drink a lot, almost getting themselves drunk.

They are all people at the level of magicians, so the wine that can get them drunk is indeed rather extraordinary.

Everyone was planning to return to their rooms to rest when the family's butler suddenly walked into the banquet hall.

"What's going on? Didn't I instruct everyone not to disturb us today, no matter what?" Padon said angrily. On such a special day, he had repeated his instructions, yet the butler was being so inconsiderate.

"Clan Leader, the President of the Magicians' Association, as well as our Mosla Empire's King and the Prince have arrived. They are now in the reception room, wishing to see you," the butler said.

These great figures, who are usually hard to meet even after begging, unexpectedly came together to visit today, which probably isn't a good sign.

"Let's go meet them." Originally, these figures were far beyond the reach of the Hertz Family, but now they had latched onto Zhang Menglong and suddenly felt these people were no longer formidable.

If it were in the past, they would have been genuinely afraid of them, considering that both the King and the President were level one Great Magicians, and even the Prince's magic cultivation was not below Padon's.

But now, they really weren't afraid of them!

"Raditz, take Brother Zhang to rest first." Padon didn't want these people to disturb Zhang Menglong's rest.

"No need, I'll go and have a look too," Zhang Menglong said with a smile. "I guess they are most likely here because of the level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array I set up. Now the energy of the entire Imperial City is concentrated in the Hertz Family, so it's natural they'd be upset."

According to the laws of the Dark Forest.

The energy of the Imperial City is limited, but the limited energy has to be divided. Now that the Hertz Family has obtained more energy, other forces have less, so they will target the Hertz Family.

Well, makes sense!

"A level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array?" Padon and Bakna had only been speculating, but when Zhang Menglong confirmed it himself, they couldn't help being a bit surprised.

Who is he really? Dao-level magic equipment and Forbidden Curses given away casually, and he can set up a level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array in a few hours. Even the world's greatest magician may not have such prowess.

"Well, then, let's go together."

Padon led the group to the reception hall of the Hertz Family.

In the hall sat a group of people, clearly divided into two factions; one group wore the robes of the Magicians' Association.

The leader of this group was an elderly man with white hair and beard, slightly plump, holding a long staff. The staff itself was unremarkable, but a blue gemstone was embedded at the top, with faint arcs of electricity visible within.

This must be Garson, the President of the Mosla Empire Magicians' Association. He is a level one lightning attribute Great Magician.

The other group wore lavish and noble attires, obviously people from the Mosla Empire's Royal Family. The King wore a splendid robe, even with a crown on his head, which seemed to be a piece of magic equipment.

It's undeniable that these magicians really care about their appearance; in their minds, magicians are a class above others, so lavish clothing symbolizes their status.

Judging from his expression, the King was very impatient. As the pinnacle of the Mosla Empire's hierarchy, him lowering himself to visit a family was already an immense favor. When has he ever waited this long for anyone?

"This is Garson, the President of the Magicians' Association," Raditz whispered to Zhang Menglong. "Today you refused his invitation, so there's no telling how he might feel about you."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

"And those two," Raditz continued, "are Zerast, the King of our Mosla Empire, and Prince Hera."

"President, King, Prince, I apologize for any oversight in hospitality. May I ask the purpose of your late-night visit?" Padon asked.

"Nothing much," Garson responded calmly, "just noted the sudden appearance of a level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array in the Hertz Family and was curious about which Array Master might have arrived in our Mosla Empire."

Garson's gaze fell on Zhang Menglong. He already knew a lot about Zhang Menglong, a man possessing five hundred Forbidden Curses, and if he could set up a level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array, it wouldn't be particularly astonishing. He was merely here for confirmation.

Padon looked at Zhang Menglong, almost asking with his eyes whether he wanted to reveal anything.

Zhang Menglong stepped forward, "My skills aren't worthy of being called mastery. Just that I have some affairs requiring me to stay in the Mosla Empire for a period, and having been invited, I temporarily reside with the Hertz Family. But since the energy around here is so scarce, I casually set up a magic array."

"I see," Garson nodded. "I apologize for being neglectful this time. In the future, if the opportunity arises, I will personally invite you to be our guest at the Magicians' Association."

Garson had heard from below that the reason was felt as a lack of sincerity on his part. Had he known earlier, he would've lowered himself to extend a personal invitation—instead, Hertz Family benefited unjustly this time.

Of course, he dared not take any retaliatory action. Refusing him depends on who is doing the refusing; if he were to be petty and hold a grudge against Zhang Menglong, he'd have to consider if he could withstand five hundred Forbidden Curses alone.

Moreover, the Magicians' Association was much closer to the Hertz Family than the Royal Family, and they could also benefit from the level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array's advantages. Obviously, there was no point in disgracing themselves.

"I will take my leave then," Garson stood up and actually left directly.

"What's going on?" Zerast looked baffled—why was Garson so courteous to this young man?

Even if he is an Array Master, he is essentially just a mid-level magician, a mere level two perfect creature, like an ant in his eyes.

And who knows if this array was truly built by him; how could a mid-level magician possibly set up a level six Spirit Gathering Magic Array? If he could independently create a level two magic array, that would already be an exceptional talent.

According to Zerast's speculation, it is likely that the array originally existed within the Hertz Family but was suddenly activated today for unknown reasons.

The Hertz Family is also citizens of the Mosla Empire—what's theirs belongs to the state, and what's the state's belongs to the Mosla Empire!

"Padon, I came here to discuss something with you," Zerast said.

"Please go ahead, King."

"Since this array is within my Mosla Empire, naturally it's considered the property of the Empire. I will grant you a larger and better piece of land for your relocation. This site will be purchased by my Royal Family."

Zerast added, "Of course, I understand this is somewhat excessive, but I will construct a castle around the magic array for your family, so you can cultivate with the array at any time."

Zerast believed his conditions to be very generous, having not directly taken over, which was already a significant favor. He completely overlooked the increasingly grim expressions of the Hertz Family members.

Then Zhang Menglong stepped out, directly pointing at Zerast, "Clan elder, where did this person get discharged from? I suggest another round of treatment might be better."
