Chapter 191 Magic and Potion 6
Nan Xi didn't say anything. At this moment, any words would be pale and powerless.
It took a long time for Charles to calm down. His body seemed to have suddenly aged many years.
Nan Xi walked over and patted Charles on the back gently.
"Charles, I understand how you feel, but people always have to face the separation of life and death. Marcus is gone, and all we can do is let him rest in peace."
Charles gradually calmed down under Nan Xi's comfort. He wiped his tears and stood up. Although his voice was still trembling, he was much more resolute.
"Ma'am, you are right. I will arrange Mr. Marcus's funeral and let him pass away in a dignified manner."
Charles began to get busy, notifying family members and arranging funeral arrangements.
Although his heart still ached for Marcus's departure, as the old butler, it was his responsibility to make everything go in an orderly manner.
Marcus' death caused an uproar in the manor.
When Duke Hawke learned the news, he immediately sent a team of people to the scene. They were dressed in uniforms with the Duke's emblem embroidered on their clothes, and they walked into the gate of the manor with serious faces.
As soon as these people entered the manor, they began to check around, as if they were looking for some clues.
They searched Marcus' room carefully, but didn't seem to find what they were looking for.
Charles watched from the side, feeling very nervous.
Marcus did not leave a will, and the Duke of Hawke has been eyeing Marcus's property.
Now that Marcus is dead, the Duke will certainly try every means to recover these properties.
Nan Xi stood in the hall of the manor, facing the envoy sent by Duke Hawke and the accompanying guards. She had to show enough strength to protect the legacy left by Marcus.
She took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and slowly raised her hands. A ball of flickering light began to gather between her palms.
The light was faint at first, but as her magical power grew, it gradually became brighter, illuminating the entire hall.
She whispered the spell, her voice full of unquestionable authority. As she chanted the spell, the air in the hall began to fluctuate with magical elements.
Fire elements, water elements, wind elements, and earth elements began to gather under her command, forming small magic vortexes.
Nan Xi pushed her hands forward, and the magic elements quickly merged to form a huge magic barrier that separated her from the messengers.
Not only is this barrier extremely solid, but the light of four elements also flows on its surface, demonstrating Nan Xi's exquisite control over magic.
When Duke Hawke's envoys saw this scene, they could not help but look at each other. They could feel the powerful force contained in this magic barrier, which was enough to resist any invasion.
Their original arrogant attitude instantly subsided, as they obviously did not expect Nan Xi to be a high-level magician.
They looked at Nan Xi with a hint of fear in their eyes, realizing that Nan Xi was not someone to be trifled with.
Nan Xi looked at the messengers coldly, her voice clear and firm.
"Marcus's estate will be handled according to his wishes, and Duke Hawke has no right to interfere. If you want to seize it by force, don't blame me for being rude."
The messengers were unable to fight against a high-level magician, not to mention that the magical power displayed by Nan Xi far exceeded their expectations.
The news soon got back to Duke Hawke.
When the Duke learned of Nan Xi's strength, he was obviously a little surprised. It was not a wise thing to go against a high-level magician.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Duke had no choice but to order the withdrawal of his troops and temporarily give up his covetousness for the inheritance.
With the departure of the messengers, peace returned to the manor.
Charles and the other servants looked at Nan Xi with admiration and gratitude in their eyes. It was Nan Xi's strength and wisdom that protected the manor and their future.
Nan Xi slowly removed the magic barrier, and the light dissipated into the air.
"Thank you, ma'am," Charles said sincerely, "I don't know what would have happened without you."
Marcus' death brought great changes to the manor, but Nan Xi's coming forward also gave people hope.
Under her protection, the manor was able to maintain peace temporarily.
If the manor was taken back by the Duke of Hawke, it would be like the sky falling for the servants in the manor. Their lives would change drastically.
As the old butler, Charles devoted almost his entire life to this estate and the Marcus family.
If the estate was taken away by the Duke, he would lose not only his job, but also the meaning of his life and his sense of belonging.
He may be forced to retire and live out the rest of his life on his meager savings, or try to find work somewhere else and start over.
Other servants, such as gardeners, cooks, maids, etc., also depended on the manor for their work and livelihood.
Once the estate is taken back, they will face the dilemma of unemployment.
Some of them may go to nearby towns to find jobs, and some may be forced to leave their hometowns and go further away to make a living.
What’s more, the estate plays an important role in the local community, providing employment opportunities and supporting the local economy.
If the estate were to be repossessed by the Duke, not only would the servants be affected, but the entire community could suffer.
Small traders, suppliers and others who depend on the estate for business will also be affected, which will be a disaster for everyone.
Fortunately, everything was saved.
Nan Xi turned and left amid the grateful gazes of the servants. Things at the manor came to an end for the time being, and Nan Xi was about to return to the academy.
She passed through the doors of the academy, walked along the ancient corridors, and returned to her study.
There were tall bookshelves filled with various magical books and scrolls, as well as her own research notes.
Nan Xi did not waste any time, she immediately devoted herself to the study of magic.
Only by continuous learning and improvement can we better protect ourselves and those around us.
She would browse through ancient books in the library, searching for lost magical knowledge, or mix potions in the laboratory, trying new magic formulas.
In addition to theoretical research, Nan Xi also focuses on the practice of magic.
She practiced magic in the academy's training grounds, casting various spells and incantations, constantly improving her magic control and combat skills.
Her figure appeared exceptionally agile on the training ground, and every spell she cast was full of power and precision.
Nan Xi also actively participates in academic exchanges and cooperation in the academy, discussing with magicians from different fields, sharing her insights and discoveries, and learning new knowledge and skills from them.
Her openness and cooperative spirit have won her the respect and friendship of many magicians.

Without the blessing of the magic weapon, Arthur and Lilith's progress in magic training became extremely slow, while other students surpassed them one by one.
They gradually became mediocre.
Arthur and Lilith once stood at the top, enjoying everyone's praise and envy, but now they can only watch others move towards success step by step.
Nanxi's success is in sharp contrast to their mediocrity.
They used to be out of reach of the original owner, but now they can only look up to Nan Xi's back. This gap makes them feel extremely lost and frustrated.
Arthur and Lilith's daily lives also undergo a dramatic transformation.
They fell from the lofty clouds to the ground of reality.
After all, Arthur's family cultivated another heir, and the resources and attention given to Arthur were greatly reduced. He had to start learning to be independent and earn a living with his own hands.
Lilith lost Arthur's financial support and she could no longer be as carefree as before.
In order to pay for her tuition and living expenses, she started working part-time, from a librarian to a waiter in a cafe.
They are no longer the darlings of the academy, nor are they the center of attention.
They began to live an ordinary life, struggling for a living every day.
