387. Thank you
The banquet is about to enter the late stage, and after Ms. Cullen has thanked her for the gifts, everyone will begin to socialize freely.
George and the Duke of Ebrun also returned to the banquet, and Adams was present at the center of the banquet.
Herwin noticed that Adams was standing next to Enid, and Lady Karen, who was in charge of thanking for the gift, was more than ten meters away from her daughter, and George was close to her.
Cullen stood up and said:
"Thank you for your gifts. ”
It is an ancient tradition of England to thank gifts in person at birthday parties, and generally speaking, the host of the birthday party also has to give an evaluation of the gift, and many times, this can test the ability of young people to show different reactions in the face of different gifts, not only to make the lighter person feel embarrassed or offended, but also to make those who are more honorable feel "important", and to show the host's strong gratitude to others.
But nowadays, the nobles thank you for gifts, and in most cases they are said in advance.
But for some reason, Ms. Cullen announced that she would revive the old tradition of giving her gifts whenever she wanted, and that she would open them on the spot at the banquet, and that the gifts could be given without leaving her name.
However, Herwin discovered early on that there were actually quite a few people present near the place where the gifts were placed, and they were constantly recording the appearance and identity of the people.
After all, all the guests except Herwin were heads and faces in Wharton, and those who were allowed to enter with their companions were also recorded at the door.
Herwin narrowed his eyes.
It's a trap.
And the prey will jump in even if it knows it's a trap.
If you rule him out, then George is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people in Wharton City, and the other demigods who are stronger than him are at least superficially loyal to the government of Anglas, and even if there is a problem, they will never hook up with Votiggen.
It's a trap for the remnants of the Underlord.
And the bait is Enid.
But standing in the position of taking on the danger are Ms. Cullen and George Pendragon.
Herwen's heart began to beat slightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in George's eyes.
He sensed Herwen's presence.
Karen says:
"Today I am going to follow the old tradition of England. ”
The crowd already knew what Miss Cullen meant, but they didn't know what she meant by it.
Because no one could have imagined that they would do such crazy things.
There were five gifts in total, and only one of them was unsigned.
Cullen and George also tacitly saved the gift until the last one to be opened.
The first to be picked up was an ornate metal box with pearls and agate inlaid on the top, and the box was carved with gold patterns in the old Wharton style.
Karen says:
"This gift is from the Duke of Ebrun, and we would like to ask the Duke for a few words. ”
The Duke of Ebrun stood up:
"I admire this young man, I see in Enid the courage and perseverance of her youth, and I am very optimistic that she will try her in various paths in the future, and I feel that a new blood like her can make a difference for Wharton.
"Finally, please open the gift. ”
What he didn't say was that he hadn't decided to give the gift until five minutes ago.
Ms. Cullen slowly opened the metal box.
A silvery glow shimmered in it.
Lying in the red velvet was a short sword.
The dagger is only eighty centimeters long, and the hilt is coated with silver, a metal that is not suitable for making weapons, but it can bear the mystical power well.
Aberland explains:
"This is the weapon used by my grandfather, Salo Ebron, who killed countless enemies with his spear on the battlefield, and in the palace he used this short sword to deal with thirty-four assassins.
"This weapon has brought luck to my ancestors, and at the same time, I hope it will bring luck to Miss Enid. ”
The crowd applauded.
Enid felt the powerful magic flowing from the dagger, and this weapon could indeed bring good luck to its master, to be precise, it could erase bad luck to a certain extent, and it was with the magic of this weapon that Salo Ebron reversed the crisis again and again.
Of course, his ability as a legendary knight also played a small role.
Enid didn't praise too much, but only promised:
"I won't let this weapon down. ”
Chamberlain smiled and nodded:
"I gave it to you because I thought you were going to make it wow again. ”
Hewen looked at Ciro:
"Salo, I remember he was assassinated in the end, right?"
Ciro was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"You know, Mr. Herwen?"
Ciro was a little surprised, because their family had always claimed that Salo was dead.
Hervin says:
"We are friends, and if it weren't for the assassination, maybe he would be sitting next to me. ”
Ms. Cullen took out a second gift.
The box in her hand is made of transparent material, but the material is neither glass nor crystal.
Presented in a transparent box is a simple piece of white paper.
There are also a few black letters written on it.
Karen says:
"Thanks to Carmen Dickinson, uh, a title deed?"
A young man with eyes stood up:
"This is a manor that I have given to Miss Enid on behalf of our Dickinson Group, on the outskirts of Wharton. ”
Enid didn't know what to say:
"Thank you?"
The Dickinson Group's gift is so simple and crude.
The young man nodded, then sat down.
In fact, most of these banquets are attended by members of the Dickinson Group, and a gift of more value, but not too precious, is given.
Karen took out a small wooden box:
"This is a gift from Mr. Hervendelenge. ”
Confused exclamations rang out in the hall.
No one knew who this Hervendelenge was. 、
Only Enid's eyes lit up.
Veronica and the others all looked at Hewen.
Hervin says:
"I gave her this a long time ago. ”
Karen opened the box, and she remembered the handsome man named Hervin:
"A bracelet. ”
She picked up the plain silver bracelet:
"What does Mr. Herwin want to say?"
Silent.
Everyone felt a little embarrassed at the moment.
But in the summer of a moment, someone moved.
Enid walked up, took the bracelet directly, and put it on her hand.
The girl looked around the banquet, but she couldn't find where Hewen was, and her expression was a little dazed.
Veronica asked:
"Mr. Herwen, why doesn't she recognize you? ”
Mr. Herwin says:
"Because the time hasn't come yet. ”
But the girl still smiled in the direction she didn't know, and narrowed her eyes to a crescent:
"Thank you, Mr. Herwin, I love this gift. ”
