Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dinner
The red glow in the west had just appeared, and Leo was already sitting in the Viscount's palace and drinking with Viscount Juan. Pen~Fun~ Although it is said that this viscount's mansion is not even worthy www.biquge.info of the status of a baron, let alone a viscount, in Leo's opinion, even the most discerning architect must admit that this Viscount Juan has definitely put a lot of thought into his mansion.
The white walls encircle the entire Viscount's Palace, and the gravel paved aisles are lined with neatly trimmed and brightly colored flowers, and the faint fragrance of the moon and roses wafts through the air. Citrus trees sway in the flower beds, and a white fountain with a unique shape is further on, and the clear water sprays through the mouth of the spring, reflecting a brilliant rainbow in the evening sunset.
Next to the fountain was a small pentagonal pavilion, in which Leo and Viscount Juan sat at a table in the center of the pavilion and enjoyed the sumptuous meal served by the servants in turn. The cheese was fluffy and delicious, the steak was moderately done, and the crispy roast suckling pig made Leo want to swallow his tongue, not to mention the 10-year-old wine.
Good wine can't be drunk alone, and Viscount Juan is undoubtedly a very good drinking friend. The lord was the same as what Leo had heard in the city, and there was not the slightest hint of the stinking stinking of the nobles in his mannerisms. Coupled with his tall and sturdy body, which is far superior to ordinary people, the young blue-clothed protagonist even has an illusion - the guy in front of him is not a noble child from a family at all, but a rare friend who drinks and scolds his mother. It must be admitted that some people have such skills, and can become familiar with and even warm up with others in a short period of time, and Viscount Juan is undoubtedly one of these people.
Another glass of wine was in his stomach, and Leo, who had not been able to say that he had much to drink, began to feel a little drunk. Leo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that his body seemed to become a little fluttery, as if he would float into the sky leisurely in the next moment. This sensation startled our bishop, so he hurriedly stretched out his right hand and subconsciously grasped the armrest of his chair.
Viscount Juan, who was sitting opposite Leo, observed all this, a smile crossed the corner of his mouth extremely secretly, and with a slight gesture of his left hand, the servant on the side immediately came up with a wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of Leo. So Viscount Juan immediately picked up the wine glass again, and his face was full of enthusiastic smiles: "Come, Lord Bishop, let's have another drink." ”
Leo took a deep breath, and it took a lot of willpower to stop his right hand, which was originally stretched out to the wine glass, and opened his mouth to spray a mouthful of wine into the air: "Lord Viscount, this wine is indeed very delicious, but unfortunately I don't think I can drink it anymore, otherwise I'm afraid that there will soon be another unconscious drunk in your Viscount's Mansion." ”
Viscount Juan laughed when he heard this, and instead of forcing Leo, he put down his glass and began to talk to Leo about what he had seen and heard in Varna in the past two years. This viscount is undoubtedly a good storyteller, and in just a few words, he slowly told the story of how he pacified the four gangsters in Varna City, and several extremely dangerous battles were many times with death.
"The Viscount is indeed a wise and young man, and such a great achievement is worthy of the savior of Varna, no wonder I have heard of your glorious title in the whole of the county of Galonia, the dream girl of Varna. Hiccup~" As soon as the words fell, it was a very loud wine burp.
This praise of the horse's mouth made Viscount Juan cry and laugh a little, and was about to continue to say something, when suddenly his gaze froze slightly, and the whole eye was cast on Leo's hand. At this time, Leo was putting a steak in his mouth with a fork, his posture was very skillful, but in the eyes of the viscount, it always looked a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
"Lord Viscount." Leo, who had seemed a little careless, savored the aroma of the steak, then suddenly spoke: "Thanks to your hospitality, I have made it a wonderful dinner moment, but I am afraid that I have to take my leave with regret - I know that there is still some business waiting for me to attend to the church." ”
Viscount Juan smiled slightly, and quickly stood up: "Since this is the case, then let me send the Bishop out." ”
Ten minutes later, Leo said goodbye to his dutiful and enthusiastic master at the gates of the Viscount's Palace, and then boarded a carriage that had been waiting for him for a long time, which was one of the benefits that Leo had received as a bishop, and the coachman was naturally his personal bodyguard, Darwin. Like Leo's luxurious house in the church, this carriage is also ordinary in appearance but luxurious and comfortable in the carriage, which makes Leo admire his predecessor's dedication to enjoyment.
The sun had long since set, and the night had covered the whole world. The pedestrian walked under the street lamps, making the narrow roads of Varna seem a little empty at the moment, and Leo in the carriage lay very comfortably on the couch covered with mink blankets, his stomach filled with the sumptuous food of the Baron's Palace, and the smell of fine wine lingered between his lips and teeth. He groaned at this comfort, and Leo began to understand why the powerful always liked such luxuries.
Viscount Juan stood in front of his mansion and watched the carriage carrying Leo depart. The viscount's butler, Farindor, suddenly appeared beside the baron like a ghost, bowing down and waiting for his master's orders. It wasn't until the carriage that originally belonged to the previous bishop disappeared from Viscount Juan's eyes that the lord of Varna City slowly spoke: "Send a quick message to Uncle Ramos, who is in charge of intelligence in the family, saying that I want to get all the details of this blue-clothed bishop. ”
"Yes, master." Falindo replied respectfully and turned away.
"Wait!" Viscount Juan suddenly stopped his butler, the two swords on the viscount's face were tightly wrinkled like sharp swords, and he always felt as if he had missed something, and suddenly a scene of Leo eating flashed through the viscount's mind, making him make up his mind in an instant: "By the way, remember to ask them to get a portrait of Bishop Antonidas Prol." ”
