A smile suddenly bloomed on Mrs. Cynthia's face, and she said happily: "Don't say borrowing, who will the mother's things be used if they don't give them to their son? What brand of wine do you want? I run a hotel, and of course I have a lot of cellars." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention 20 years, even a hundred years have two barrels. You just say it, I'll let people go to you. ”

Xius smiled and shook his head: "A hundred years are not necessary, it is too precious, and it seems very inappropriate for me to send it." Twenty years of 'burning' will do. My father's mentor must have been a swordsman as well, so he would have liked this kind of fiery wine. ”

Mrs. Cynthia stopped eating, thought for a while, and nodded: "I know Dean Lucas, he is a great swordsman who has been famous for a long time. His personality is very bold and direct. This, if you see him in person, you will understand that his thoughts are always written on his face. Hehe~ is a very interesting elder. So, the brand you chose is good, and I think the dean will like it very much. ”

Mrs. Cynthia nodded to Yana, who was waiting next to her, and Yana immediately retreated lightly to the door and turned to go out, and it wasn't long before she returned with a long-necked crystal bottle full of dark red.

Mrs. Cynthia took it in her hand and looked at it, opened the cap of the bottle and sniffed it, and put it into the hands of Hughes with a frown: "The taste is very good, but I don't like this spicy taste." ”

"Knock knock~"

Xius was reading "The Biography of Famous Generals of the Continent" in his room, and was watching it intently, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door and was slightly startled. However, then he realized that the person who came to him at this time should be Nalco, and it was time to visit Dean Lucas's house.

Sure enough, when Hughes opened the door, he saw a middle-aged guard dressed in a new outfit.

"Come in first, I'll change my coat. ”

As soon as Nalco entered the door, he noticed the bottle of 20 years of "burning" on the table, and a flash of fire flashed in his eyes. For the warriors, this wine was their favorite, and even the precious red wine that was drunk at the royal banquet could not compare to the taste when it "burned" into the mouth, which was the heat, the fire, and the years when the warriors burned passionately.

Nalco was no exception, and he really wanted to taste the fiery heat of 20 years.

However, this thought is fleeting. Nalco guessed that it should have been given to Vice President Lucas, a gift worthy of the Earl, and it was not something that a person like him could enjoy for the time being.

"What do you think of this? It should be dignified enough, right?" When Hughes came out, he was already wearing a dark blue aristocratic gown, with an upright vertical collar, gold threads on the neckline, cuffs, and hem edges, ornate dark gold lines on the chest placket, and dark red jeweled buttons...... Every detail reflects the exquisite workmanship and rare materials of the clothes. What's more, this dress is not the kind of ceremonial dress that emphasizes solemnity, but prefers to wear it directly to the banquet. Therefore, when Xiusi put on it, it made the eyes of those who saw it shine, and no one could deny that from the appearance alone, this was indeed a handsome and dashing aristocratic young man!

Nalco applauded lightly and said with a smile: "Very beautiful clothes, it seems to be a new style of the royal capital." ”

Theseus smiled and nodded admittedly: "This is the second one that Lady Cynthia gave me today, and they are all very beautiful clothes, and I like them very much." ”

Nalco was comforted in his heart, and he had only gratitude to the god of war for the reunion of the mother and son who had been separated for too long.

"Let's go, that bottle of 'burn' is a gift I have for Lord Lucas, and I'm sure he'll like it. Hughes walked ahead, and Nalco, who was behind him, clutched the wine to his chest and followed.

There was one in the carriage inn, and Mrs. Cynthia had already prepared it, waiting at the exit at the back door.

"21 St. John's Ave. Nalco instructed the coachman.

"I've heard that St. John's Street is near the north gate of the Academy, and very close to the palace?" asked Nalco as the carriage began to run. He had only heard of some of these famous places, unlike Nalco, who had not known how many times he had visited. It's Ram, who has been going out a lot in the past two days, and he must have traveled all over the places that are similar to the important.

Xius was slightly jealous of this, but he was relieved to think that his subordinates were doing things seriously. Fundamentally, Hughes was a benevolent aristocrat with a kind heart and approachable personality that had not yet been fully formed. Otherwise, Nalco would not have been able to sit in the carriage, and he would have sat on the carriage with the coachman, in the sun and rain.

Nalco confirmed, "The front of the north gate of the Royal Warrior Academy is actually on the west side of the palace, and a large area is an aristocratic area, and most of the people in it have hereditary titles, as well as a very small number of big businessmen and wealthy people who have obtained palace titles. Just like Lord Lucas, because of his status as a great swordsman and the title of earl, His Majesty the King rewarded him with an earl's palace in this area, located near the north gate of the Royal Warrior Academy. It's not actually on St. John's Street, but it's in a pretty good location. The state always rewards high-end combat power. ”

Hughes watched the scenery along the road through the window of the car with great interest, and asked the guards some questions from time to time, and time passed imperceptibly. When Hughes felt the carriage stop, they were already on St. John's Street in the northwest corner of the City of War.

"Is this the way it is?, ah, what a wide road!" said Hughes, who was talking to Nalco, when he felt the carriage stop with a jolt, and when he looked through the window, he saw that they were covered with a clean and white rocky road as wide as a square, and he could not help but exclaim. Such a huge mountain of rock bricks, and paved with such a wide and long street, just half the cost of the journey, I am afraid that the Viscount's family can go bankrupt.

Narcoganer: "This is St. John's Avenue, which is also considered a first-class avenue in the City of the God of War, which can accommodate ten carriages moving side by side. On either side are either the residences of the king's ministers or the residences of the embassies of various countries. See that high spire? It was a grand temple of the god of war, the temple of St. Chilles. Although it is only ranked third in all the war temples in the royal capital, if you see it with your own eyes, it can still make mortals shock and bow down. ”

Xiusi sighed in surprise: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the royal capital, and it is not strange to have a grand temple of the god of war." The value of this street alone is enough to make the local nobles of Glorious City jaw-dropping. No wonder the nobles of the royal capital look down on us, just by this street, they have the qualifications to look down on us. Look at the joints of the stones on this pavement, smooth and flat, tightly fitted, even if the cost of materials is completely removed, just the labor cost of cutting, grinding, handling, and installation, I am afraid it is an astronomical amount!"

Nalco was quite speechless when he heard this, he felt that in the past two days, the young master's interest in things like gold coins has gradually increased, and ten sentences can be exported, at least three or five sentences can be related to money. This is completely different from the young master in his eyes before.

Nalco suddenly remembered, why didn't the coachman leave? Before, he thought that this guy was more discerning, so he stopped here and let the young master look at it for a while.

"You can keep going. Nalco instructed the coachman, and he explained to Hughes, who had not seen enough, "It is a very rude thing to be late, and it is better for you to be a little earlier because you are visiting the Earl for the first time, and you are considered the Earl's junior, and it also shows your respect for the Earl." ”

Theseus put down the gauze on the window and nodded, "Yes, let's keep walking." ”

At this time, the coachman turned his head in embarrassment and said, "Master Theseus, Master Nalco, I'm afraid we will have to wait a while." The city defense troops in front of them are all standing in columns, and it is clear that there are some big men who want to pass through here. If we pass now, there is a good chance that the city defense army will drive us away, and it may displease the big man. Look, are we going to wait a minute?"

Only then did Hughes notice that, some way on, on either side of the street, there was a row of well-dressed guards of the royal capital, their heads facing in one direction, as if waiting for someone to come.

Nalco frowned, and after a moment of thought, he commanded the coachman, "Then exit the street, and we will go around the north gate of the Warrior Academy, where there is a quiet tree-lined path that leads to the residence of Count Lucas." Turn your head quickly, don't let the city guards block the road, it will take a long time. ”

The coachman did as he was told, and the carriage turned around and trotted according to Nalco's instructions. Luckily, the roads are well maintained, and at the current speed, there are almost no bumps.

This time it went very well, and Hughes and his party quickly arrived at the gate of the Earl's Palace. There was a young guard standing there, and when he saw a carriage stop, he hurriedly greeted him and made a swordsman salute.

"Is it Master Hughes, I am Carla, the Earl's Court Guard, and I am here on the orders of Lord Earl. ”

Theseus smiled at him, "It's me, thank you for the Count's enthusiasm, please lead the way." ”

Hughes followed the other and walked around the path in the Earl's Court. The scenery in the house is very good, with huge verdant trees, green meadows, and emerald vines in the corners, on which there are unknown pink flowers, and the dark fragrance floats.

When Hughes came to the three-story cyan building surrounded by flower beds, he saw a tall blonde man with a ruddy complexion standing in the doorway, staring at him with a smile.

There is no need for Narco to remind Hughes that in addition to the son of Count Lucas, the only one who can stand in that position to greet him is the Count himself. And the other party's age is obviously not young.

Hughes took two steps forward, and when he was two meters away from the earl, he stopped, and respectfully gave the count a solemn courtesy that he used when meeting his elders, with a standard posture and a sincere attitude.

"Hughes, Horton, I have met Lord Count Lucas, and it is a great honor for you to greet you personally. ”

"Okay, get up, you don't have to be restrained when you come to me. Count Lucas laughed and went down the steps, personally helped Hughes up, smiled and nodded to Nalco, and then took Hughes's hand and strode into the hall.

As soon as he entered the living room, a kind old lady on the sofa also stood up slowly with the support of the servant next to him. Behind her stood three middle-aged people, a man and a woman. Everyone has a kind smile on their faces, and they look very kind.

"Luca, is this what you've been telling me so often these two days, Gael's child, welcome, little Xius, what a handsome man. It's nice to see that Gael's child has a successor. The old lady walked up to Huce with a smile and touched his head gently, Xius realized that the other party's identity should be the countess, and he was very respectful, leaning forward slightly to salute the old lady.

Hughes hurriedly saluted everyone. If you can greet him here, you don't have to think about it, it must be Lucas's family. Although it is not clear who each person is, it is necessary to give each other enough respect first.

The Earl's family was obviously very impressed by the politeness of Hughes, and they returned the salute. Count Lucas laughed, no doubt very pleased with the extremely harmonious scene.

He took Hughes by the hand and introduced him to each of the family members: "This is my wife, with my relationship with your father, you can call her Grandma Riley, this is my son, Jinsen, next to her wife Kiri, you can call them uncle and aunt, and finally my daughter, Asilia, you can call her aunt, she likes a handsome little boy like you the most, hehe, pay attention, she is also the tutor of the academy." If you tie her up, you will be able to meet many beauties in the logistics department. Haha~~"

"Hehehe~", the earl's words made the hall burst into laughter, and Xius was a little embarrassed, and, at such a point, he was not sure whether he should take it. Although there was a father's relationship there, and the Earl's family seemed to be quite kind to him, Hughes was still hesitating, whether this was a little too intimate.

Of course, there is no problem with the host's hospitality, but if the guest does not know the height of the sky and cannot distinguish whether the other party is polite or sincere, then there will be a problem.

Hughes didn't want his actions to be a source of joy or embarrassment for everyone.

At this time, Aunt Acelia, who only had dazzling blonde hair in the middle and upper ranks, probably saw the discomfort of Huss, she pulled Hus to her side, put her arms around his shoulders lightly, and smiled at the Count: "Father, your words are too straightforward, you see, our little Xius is blushing. ”

"Oh~ha~," the Count was stunned for a moment, and then laughed even more happily, and the laughter that everyone had just stopped laughing again.

Hughes could see that the family was really happy, young and old, male and female. Although he was still a source of ridicule, the good-natured jokes of the elders would not mind if they could improve his relationship with the Earl's family.

"Okay, stop laughing. Theseus come over and sit next to Grandma Riley, they don't dare to bully you. The Countess glared at last for her frustration at the fact that both of the children in the family had been deeply influenced by her father, so she liked it when she saw such a polite and slightly shy child as Hughes.

"Okay, Grandma Riley. Hughes breathed a sigh of relief, the scent from Aunt Acelia's arm, which was on his shoulder, was so strong that his nose itched, and he wanted to sneeze loudly.

"Sit down. When Count Lucas saw that his old wife had spoken, he smiled and waved his hand, and asked the family to sit down and talk.

Hughes got up at this time, took the bottle of "burning" from Nalco in the back, and respectfully offered it to the Count with both hands, "This is a little gift I have brought to me, I hope you will like it." ”
