It's noon, and most of the shops in Swan Street are now closed to business, and the aristocrats prefer to go out at night when the sun is shining. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even most of the deacons who were in charge of the shop had already gone to eat, but that didn't stop some of the hapless waiters from being left behind to take care of the shop.

The clanging sound of the poppy beasts decorating the shop soon attracted a large crowd of melon-eating people from the surrounding shops, and the waiters came to the front door of the store from where they had been left behind, and quietly poked their heads out to find out.

However, to their disappointment, the renovation team of the poofs was very dedicated and professional, and in order to prevent the debris from flying out of the area from affecting the surroundings, they had erected a protective green mesh next to the entire building, so people had no idea what was going on inside.

"Hey, Aix, if I'm not mistaken, that store opened two days ago, right?" Two waiters in a store opposite saw this scene, and one of them couldn't help but say to the other.

The other one held a handful of peanuts in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth as he spoke, and when he didn't have time for lunch, it was good to have a small snack to pad his stomach: "Yes, it's true that it only opened in the past two days!" I remember it was called Bright Stars, and it seemed to be dealing in magic accessories. ”

"Magic trinkets? Dare to open a magic jewelry store on Swan Street? The owner of this shop is not small! ”

"Yes, it's a magic trinket indeed. It's a pity that, judging from their shabby décor, it is estimated that there are no good goods, so these days have been very deserted, and no noble lord is willing to buy inferior magic ornaments from them. ”

"So what are they just doing now?"

"Who knows? Maybe the original owner noticed that something was wrong and had already sold the store, but maybe it's a different group of people now! ”

"Huh?! If you're right, it's the shortest store on this street. ”

"This is Swan Street, it's not all third-rate and nine-rate sects who are qualified to open a shop here, if the original owner of this shop can see the situation clearly and withdraw his capital and leave early, it will also be a businessman with a unique vision......

……

On the other side of Swan Street, due to the uproar of Liya's renovation team, the Kelvin family's house was very quiet.

Duke Keith Kelvin was sitting in his small courtyard, the midday sun shaded by the dense vines overhead, and the lush flowers and plants around him were pleasant.

In front of him was a pot of freshly brewed black tea with a fine plate of pastries, and the crystal clear black tea in the cup was pure and slightly smoking, adding a touch of interest to this leisurely and complacent.

At this time of the day, the Duke should stay in the lavishly decorated dining room and enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by the royal chef of the royal court, which His Majesty has bountied, rather than drinking tea in his own courtyard.

But I slept a little late last night, and woke up at noon.

When people are old, their appetite is not good, and the duke, who has just woken up, has no appetite for lunch, so he simply asked the kitchen to prepare a few plates of pastries and make a pot of black tea by the way, and drink afternoon tea in advance in this courtyard.

Lying comfortably on the chaise longue, sucking in the fresh air and the faint fragrance of tea with his eyes closed, the scattered golden sunlight sprinkled on the Duke's body, making the old man feel extremely comfortable.

Just as the Duke was enjoying this rare moment of peace, an old man dressed in a butler's uniform slowly walked in from the entrance of the courtyard.

He walked lightly, stepped on the path in the courtyard without making the slightest sound, quietly came to the duke's side, bent slightly, did not speak, and stood respectfully to the side.

After waiting for a while, the duke slowly opened his eyes and stared at the bunch of crystal clear purple jade grapes hanging from the vines.

The special potion concocted by the alchemist keeps the vines here lush all year round, and it only takes less than two months for the delicious grapes to ripen from just appearing, so this place in the small courtyard can be seen to be fruitful all year round.

However, winter is coming, and even with the use of special potions concocted by alchemists, it still can't stop the natural results, and the vines will wither at the beginning of winter, and the lush green scene will no longer be visible here, leaving only a silent white.

The duke did not look at the old butler, as if talking to himself, and muttered, "How are things going?" ”

The old housekeeper said respectfully: "Master Qiqi, something happened a little unexpectedly. ”

Hearing that there was a little surprise in the matter, the duke's face was still unshocked.

"Oh? Is there anything to be surprised? ”

"Originally, the plan went well, but Sophia had unknowingly been hit by our Fire Fury Elixir, and under our arrangement, she was successfully provoked by Master Carlos, and in a fit of rage, she wanted to kill Master Carlos directly."

"What? Didn't my sweet kid die? ”

"Yes, although the Tutor Frey in the academy took action to protect the young master, Sophia defeated the mentor who shot very strongly and seriously injured the young master Carlos, and in a fit of rage, despite the dissuasion of the academy mentor, he wanted to kill the young master who was already seriously injured, but ......"

The Duke was still lying on the chaise longue, unmoved, waiting for the old butler's next step.

The old butler continued: "But just before Sophia was about to make a move, I don't know why, a purification magic appeared on her body, which lifted the effect of the Eliminating Fire Fury Elixir on her body, and Sophia not only did not kill the young master, but used the potion to stabilize the young master's injuries......"

When the old butler said this, the Duke finally spoke: "Is it the magic that purifies the alien state?" ”

"Yes. According to the observation of those of us hiding in the shadows, it should be Sophia who activated the magic of the magic jewelry seal on her body, so she was relieved of the abnormal state on her body. ”

"No, no, no!" The Duke waved his hand, "You said before that Sophia was very angry, but the dissuasion of the Wizard Academy tutor forcibly wanted to kill Carlos, how could an angry person want to activate a purification magic?" …… Was there anyone else at the scene at the time, except for the instructor of the magic academy? ”

The old butler thought for a moment and said, "There is also a student of the Magic Academy who seems to have a good relationship with that Frey Mentor. ”

"Oh, do you know what kind of kid that is?"

"This ......" the old butler hesitated for a moment, then knelt down on one knee and said ashamedly, "Lord Duke, my subordinates have neglected their duties......"

Waving his hand indifferently, Keith said, "It's nothing, you go and find out about that student." Alright, let's go down! ”

"Yes!"

The old butler got up and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something.

"Master, what should I do with Master Carlos?"

The old duke sighed, a sad expression on his face: "My son who is unsuccessful and likes to cause trouble everywhere has left me like this, and I will make the Menshanons family pay the price they deserve." ”

The old butler nodded knowingly, and then left the courtyard respectfully, leaving the Duke to lie comfortably on the chaise longue, enjoying the calm before the storm. (To be continued.) )
