Chapter 245: Revisiting the Moulin Rouge
After the signing, there was a simple drinking party, which was also attended by some of the councillors.
Because the Emperor's handling of the treaty with the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom was to keep a low profile and try to minimize the negative impact, the relevant events were only held on a small scale, and it was said that the delegation of the Silver Dragon Divine Kingdom would return to Qidilan the next day.
And Jacques only exchanged pleasantries with Manniu and the others at the drinking party, but the matter of the outer disciples of the Mithril Society still made him feel uneasy, and he was alienated from these people involved in the negotiations.
However, during this event, he got acquainted with one person, the clerk who sat next to him during the negotiation, a native of the imperial capital named Fran, who had heard that Jacques had just completed a trip across the New World, and pulled him to talk about the scenery and customs of various places.
Unfortunately, the envoy would leave York the next day and return to the Empire, Claudia could not stay long, so she said goodbye to Jacques and Lily after the reception, and promised to meet again in the imperial capital in the future.
After a day of tossing and turning, Jacques was physically and mentally exhausted, and drove back to Marianne's estate.
Unexpectedly, after arriving, I met an acquaintance, Mark Cromwell!
The guy wanted to host a banquet for Jacques, to thank him for his saving grace and to celebrate his escape.
came to the door in person to invite, soft grinding and hard bubbles, sprinkled and cute, Jacques had to agree.
Mark smiled slyly and dragged Jacques out of the house, but was stopped by Marianne and insisted on going to the banquet with him, and took Lily with him.
Mark shirked several times to no avail, and finally had to take his two daughters to set off together, and the way was like a frosted eggplant, wilting.
After walking for a while, everyone found that the steam car did not drive up the bridge to the direction of Mark's house in Nancheng District, and under Marianne's questioning, Mark honestly explained that the banquet place he arranged was actually the Moulin Rouge!
Jacques certainly didn't want to go to the Moulin Rouge again!
It was Storm's territory, and although he had reconciled with his father, Jacques didn't want to be in front of him again.
But the grudge with Storm can't be told to Lily and Marianne, let alone Mark.
He had no choice but to strongly oppose going to Fengyue Place, looking like a moral gentleman.
However, sometimes she is afraid of her pig teammates, and when Marianne heard that she was going to the Moulin Rouge, not only did she not object, but she was eager to try to see something new, and Lily also expressed a strong interest.
In addition, Mark boasted that although it was a Fengyue place, the food was delicious, the performances were wonderful, and there were entertaining gambling games to have fun, and generously said that all the expenses would be borne by himself.
Jacques would be contrived if he wanted to oppose it, and his heart was down, anyway, Storm and Daddy had reconciled, and if he wanted to calculate anything, he would have Daddy's backing.
When the steam car arrived at the Moulin Rouge, it startled Jacques as soon as it came up, and it was Eliza who greeted him in the hall!
When the woman saw Jacques, her face did not change, and she hugged Mark warmly: "Mr. Mark, welcome! Are these your guests? The little lady Eliza has seen several distinguished guests! Your private room is ready, the one facing the stage!"
We have invited a new batch of chefs from the East, and the specialty dish is the dish of the mysterious Bright God, would you like to try it?
Okay, I'll give you two specialties first!"
Eliza led the four of them upstairs, finally finding an opportunity to wink at Jacques with an incomprehensible smile.
Entering the private room, two young girls in fancy dresses took their seats and pulled back a curtain on one wall.
Behind the curtain was a single piece of floor-to-ceiling glass, through which the occupants of the room could clearly see the stage in the hall downstairs and half of the dance floor.
At this time, there was no one dancing on the dance floor, but more than a dozen large sofas were arranged in three rows, separated by screens, all facing the stage, and the sofas at the back were raised to ensure a good view.
Many of the seats were already occupied, and many women in short skirts shuttled back and forth to offer drinks and fruit snacks to the guests.
Eliza said, "Mr. Mark, the show will start at seven o'clock, I will arrange the food first, please call me if you have any orders." ”
With that, he twisted his waist and left.
Marianne said, "This is the Moulin Rouge, it doesn't look special!
Jacques threw her a caring look for the mentally retarded, Miss, who did you hear say, you came to see the naked girl?
Mark had to explain: "We're just eating and watching the show, and the girl picking session you mentioned is after ten o'clock, and it will become a dance floor below." Of course the girls will wear clothes, and that would be too subtle. ”
Marianne pointed to the two girls and said, "So they are all dressed like this? No wonder you and Vento like to come here. ”
Mark also asked, "I haven't seen this dress before, chick, have you changed the theme again?"
A young girl replied softly, "Mr. Hui, the theme we just changed is the mysterious East. We are dressed in the costumes of the Kingdom of Light. Oh, and here comes the dish, this dish is steamed with migratory saury, a seasonal dish, freshly caught at the mouth of the Leichardt. ”
A variety of dishes followed, one small portion per person, and even the discerning Marianne was full of praise.
At seven o'clock, the sofa downstairs was also full of guests, the curtain of the stage opened, and the show began.
As soon as it came up, there were several beautiful women in oriental costumes playing unknown musical instruments, and the girl explained one by one under everyone's inquiry: "On the table, the piano is plucked, the short stick is the flute, and the girl is holding the pipa......"
Thanks to the active stone amplifier, everyone can hear it clearly in the private room, and the exotic style music makes them feel that the trip is worthwhile.
Marianne also went from constantly taunting Mark to ridiculing that he would enjoy it, no wonder she soaked in the Moulin Rouge every day.
After a full meal and more than an hour of performances, Mark suggested that everyone go upstairs to the casino to play, there are many novel ways to play, make sure everyone likes it.
So the four of them moved to the casino on the third floor, and Jacques took a special look at Storm's room, but the door was closed and he didn't know if he was in it.
Mark gave each of them five thousand silver coins in chips, and Marianne praised him for his generosity.
Lily and Jacques just played casually, changed several tables, played at will, and kept not winning or losing.
On the contrary, Marianne doubled her chips not long after her luck, and the other three people also gathered around to watch her perform when they saw her killing.
However, Marianne's luck seemed to be coming to an end, and she lost all the chips she had won again after she made several mistakes in a row.
This girl didn't believe in evil, so she simply came to full pressure, and the result was a clean loss at once.
Now Marianne had no choice but to ask Lily to borrow the chips, wanting to turn them back.
Back and forth, Lily's chips were lost.
Jacques looked at the time, and before he knew it was midnight, he proposed to leave, but Marianne insisted on turning the book, saying that she had mastered the method of victory!
Jacques had no choice but to hand her his five thousand silver coins in chips, and let her go to fight, agreeing to leave if she lost, and go home as soon as she returned to her capital.
Just as Jacques was bored watching Marianne fight at the table, a slight fluctuation in source energy disturbed him.
The fluctuations were all too familiar, and even though they were far away, Jacques still felt them.
It's the fluctuation of the Chaos Source Technique!
The only one who can cause this kind of fluctuation is McKay, who has a little problem with his mind!
Jacques suddenly wanted to see him again, there were too few transcendents in the chaos system, and although he had fought with Mackay for his life, Jacques still had a sense of affection for him.
