Chapter 102: Cocktail Party

Outside the balcony, the palm trees rustled in the evening breeze, and the wide marble platform was covered with a velvet blanket, on which someone stepped barefoot, wearing only a casual robe, his chest open, and the pale red wine churned in the glass, but the glass did not sway in the slightest, and the wall of the glass was printed with the face of a man, and the eyes radiated a faint blue light.

"Sir Miss Violet wants us to sponsor her to rebuild the team, and in return, she will ...... in the future"

In the room behind the man, an old man in a housekeeper's costume is reporting on the recent situation.

"Future? I've heard too much of this kind of promise, it's meaningless, and you go and tell her that there is only one way to get me to help, and that is for her to agree to my marriage contract, and as long as she becomes my wife, of course I will do my best to help her. ”

Casually commanded, the man's eyes never left the wine glass in his hand, to be exact, the strange dark blue ring on the index finger of his right hand, occasionally looked at the liquid in the cup and changed with his own mind, a satisfied look appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice,

"I always thought that it would take a lot of time to practice and drink those weird potions to do this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that it only took a small ring to do it, it was really magical. ”

The butler did not stay in the house, after receiving the reply, he turned around and prepared to leave, replaced by a figure in the shadows of the house, he just stood there, still a few steps away from the Earl of Otland, a salty and wet sea breeze blew abruptly in the room, the wet and sticky feeling made the butler who had just walked to the door involuntarily look back, and then hurriedly withdrew his gaze, for the strange figure, he did not want to pay too much attention.

"This is just an imitation, my Lord Sir, will you be satisfied with such a low-level manipulation of energy?"

Something seemed to be squirming under the pitch-black hood, and his voice was hoarse and broken,

"What is stored in the Scorching Box is the true Seagod's Gift, and with it, you can instantly possess the power of the Seagod!"

"Help me get the Scorching Box, I can give you whatever you want!"

Placing the glass on the edge of the balcony, his mind turned and the wine condensed into a line of water flowing into his mouth, and the Count closed his eyes in intoxication, raised his head, and clenched his hands into fists.

The wine wasn't much good, and he enjoyed an unparalleled sense of power and control that intoxicated him more than any good wine!

It's not enough, like the guy said, he needs more power......

Just then, the door opened again, and someone came in with a weapon on his waist.

The blond hair was scattered over his shoulders, his muscular body was well defined, the man glanced at the situation in the room, showed his undisguised disgust at the strange figure standing in the hall, raised his hand to cover his nose, and took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "Sir, the new president of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce has arrived. ”

"It's finally here, Frans, bring a few people, you have to help me get the treasure that belongs to me!"

Sir looked far away at the gate of the manor, where two men had just entered, and he shouted impatiently.

......

"This is it, it's too luxurious. ”

At the gate of the manor, Zhu Jue looked left and right at the wide manor in front of him, he thought that the Earl of Ottran's drinking party should be on the second or third floor of a certain house, but when he got to the place on the invitation, he found that this was actually a small manor castle.

"Yes, the Earl of Otlan is the highest-ranking nobleman on this side of the Dilas Seaport, so we must make every effort to ensure that we do not clash with him as much as possible, otherwise the business of the Chamber of Commerce will be greatly affected. ”

As I said before, fighting against the nobles in the fantasy dream realm is undoubtedly uncomfortable for yourself, let alone this kind of earl-level nobleman.

"It's up to him whether there will be a conflict or not, in fact he has already made a move, isn't it, sending a garrison to search the door, this is not a friendly signal. ”

Lowering his head and pulling his clothes, Zhu Jue crossed the door, took a few steps inside and suddenly paused, took a step back to Lishana's side, approached and asked in a low voice,

"If I accidentally kill that guy, the kind that no one knows...... Will it be suspected?"

"Huh?"

For Zhu Jue's question, Lishana really didn't know how to answer.

Accidentally kill an earl.

How careless do you have to be?

"Sir, are you the president of the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce?"

Before Lishana could say anything more, someone in the butler's costume came over and asked.

"That's right, I'm the new president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, what's the matter? ”

"The Earl of Otland would like to see you before the reception begins, please come with me. ”

Without any intention of asking for advice, the butler turned around and led the way, as if he decided that Zhu Jue would not dare to disobey the earl.

Because of this, he didn't see the glint in Zhu Jue's eyes when he picked off a green leaf behind him.

"Are you sure you didn't offend the Count anywhere before today?"

Tearing the leaf along the veins, Zhu Jue deliberately slowed down and walked with Lishana.

The other party's attitude clearly showed that he was looking for trouble, and Zhu Jue didn't know much about the situation here, so he could only ask Lishana.

"Our business is not in conflict with that of the Earl of Otland, perhaps he wants to buy us...... President, the situation is not quite right, as the Earl of Otland, if it is the kind of possibility I just mentioned, he can send an agent, there is no need to put on this posture, it should be something else. ”

Lishana herself imagined a possibility, thought about it and then denied it herself.

This time, Zhu Jue did not answer Lishana's words, remained silent, and followed the butler all the way to the depths of the manor.

On the way, I happened to pass by the scene of the cocktail party, not in the house, but on the open-air lawn, the tables and chairs have been placed, and there are many guests, each taking the items on the dining table, chatting in groups.

"Who that gentleman is, it seems to be a fresh face. ”

The girl sitting on the delicate bench looked at the people passing by not far away, and her already delicate and fair face showed a pale face at this moment.

"It should be a character from the port of Dilas, you have just been here, so naturally you don't know him. ”

The old man beside the girl bowed and whispered.

"Grandpa Morrow, I've seen a lot of big names here in the port of Dilas these days, but I'm sure I've never seen him...... Even at the cocktail party, Mr. Butler can personally lead him, and it is obvious that he is going to meet Sir in this direction, and such a character is not simple. ”

Taking a sip of fruit wine, the girl looked at Zhu Jue and Lishana who were going away, and there was a little expectation in her eyes.

PS: The fox has its own little Fengling~~~ I have been busy giving it a good environment for the past two days, and I have fulfilled my wish for many years.
