Chapter 387: The Private Banquet and Rheinthal's Observations

Rheinthal. In the name of a private banquet, Lord Bencent had invited Master Lynn and Master Elvis—and the news reached many in a short time.

Everyone put down their movements for the time being, waiting for the news of the private banquet to come out.

Old Roxmu sat in a high-backed chair with one hand on his forehead, and the squire Griffin stood behind him like an invisible man.

After the news of the small turmoil after Lin An was released from the customs before, old Rokemu was a little restless, and said to himself what "monster", "...... Start cannibalism" and something like that.

But when the news of the private banquet set up by His Excellency the Governor General arrived, the elder Roquemu calmed down, sat behind his desk, and maintained the same posture for a long time, while Griffin's figure completely merged with the shadows, and seemed to have completely lost his sense of existence.

Little Roxmu had already been stuffed into the reinforcements of the Roxmu Legion by the old Rookmu more than half a month ago before the original deadline for Lin An's exit had not yet arrived, and went to the frontline battlefield to help his uncle Da Lomu.

At this time, the night has already fallen, and the private banquet that starts at seven o'clock in the evening is underway.

It was a small private banquet, and there were only four people, including the host, the guests, and the accompanying guests, who were required to save zài according to etiquette.

The dishes on the table are also very simple, but thanks to the storage of thermostatic tableware, the dishes are still steaming hot when they are served on the table. In this regard, both the host and the guest are already satisfied, anyway, no one in this private banquet is specially here for dinner.

"Merlin founded the country militarily and does not advocate luxury and enjoyment, and I hope that this hastily arranged private banquet will not make the two of them feel slow."

Rheinthal said, raising the wine glass with his white-gloved right hand, and the crimson "color" of the dry red of the Forjuerdo Manor swayed in the crystal cup with a magnificent "color", and his face "revealed" a rare and rare smile, like a meteoric and fleeting skyline:

"I wish the Imperial Martial Arts Prosperity!"

This is a beautiful blonde man in his early thirties, the majesty and nobility of a high-ranking person, the reserve and arrogance of a nobleman seem to be soaked in his bone marrow, and the smile and gesture of Guò are measured like a ruler, and little by little they are inadvertently diffused.

Lin An's gaze from the white gloves full of asceticism in his hands, the heavy military shirt on the broad shoulders, and the crisp and vertical collar buttoned to the Adam's apple, all the way to his gray-blue eyes, and then slowly raised the dry red on the edge of the plate, and said with Sidney and James:

“…… Good luck! ”

Lin An is observing Rheinthal, and Rheinthal is also paying attention to Lin An at all times.

"Smoked lamb chops are Merlin's traditional food, isn't Master Lin a little tired of eating them?"

In the midst of a quiet meal, Rheinthal suddenly paused his meal and asked aloud.

His question is a tactful rhetoric, in fact, from the moment he sat down to eat, he could clearly distinguish the difference between Lin An's table manners and the other three, although some details and the traditional Merlin table manners have been integrated, but it can be seen that the original is self-contained.

Rheinthal was very confident in his etiquette education, and the table manners used by Lin An were different from Merlin's rough and casual style that favored male "sexuality", but there were some similarities with Perret's romantic soothing and the Holy Empire's exquisite attention to detail.

Just like at this time, Rheinthal got up to speak, and he could put the meat that had been cut and forked on the fork back on the plate, and the meat steak that Lin An had already sent to her lips continued to eat after a pause, she chewed slowly under the gaze of the other party, wiped her lips with a napkin, and then put down the knife and fork without hurry, and raised her eyes to look at Rheinthal.

"The lamb chops are very well smoked, but maybe it's because they don't eat it often, and they feel a little heavily seasoned," Lin An said softly, his dark eyes looked directly at Rheinthal, and his lips curled, "After all, I've only been in contact with Merlin's eating habits for less than three years." ”

Mage James seemed to be attracted by their topic, and looked at Lin An without blinking, while Sidney only looked up at Lin An as he spoke, still cutting the meat steak in his hands.

The interesting conversation continued.

"Oh, aren't you from Merlin? You can state on the information you fill in that you are from the Duchy of Stuart. Gray-blue eyes flashed with interest, and Rheinthal continued a conversation that had already been tacitly agreed upon.

In fact, the information from the beginning of Lin An's first appearance in people's eyes has already reached his hands, but the records before this, as well as Lin An's whereabouts after being separated from Boren Andre and others on the way to the ice field, are a large blank.

In Rheinthal's view, these gaps certainly shouldn't exist.

So in the past two days, he privately met with Chamberlain and Julie, the only two people in the Chinese army who knew Lin An, but unfortunately he didn't get any information from the vine's mouth that could fill the gap, but learned their impression of Lin An from the mouths of the two:

"Stripped of most worldly perspectives, as well as external influences, such as her 'sexual' appearance, most people would think that she fits all the descriptions of the mage's profession." - The rumored assessment of Master Buren, who had pursued Lin An, was vague and meaningful, but it was in line with Rheinthal's original intention to understand Lin An.

"I knew their friends with the other two, and I used to think that Lynn was a vassal of Master Elvis, but now it seems that this is not the case,"

Master Julie said more superficially, "But even with the above premises, as long as she doesn't touch her bottom line, she still makes people feel like a suitable person to associate with - low-key, calm, and measured." ”

Rheinthal's thoughts returned to the present, and he heard Lin An's answer.

"It's not something to hide - in fact, three years ago, I didn't know anything about the countries of the world, or even the continental language—"

Lin An replied indifferently, "As for the background that is full of information, it is because the first time I entered the WTO, it was at the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountain, in the territory of the Duchy of Stuart. ”

Sidney on the side heard Lin An talk about her origin for the first time, and couldn't help but put down his knife and fork to listen.

"So, you're not from Merlin?" Master James remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke up to ask.

"Do you think I look alike?" The net does not skip words. Lin An did not answer the rhetorical question.

This is actually an obvious problem, Lin An doesn't need to force herself to pull herself on the Merlin people, anyway, her original appearance and all known racial characteristics do not fully match.

"I know that's not what you are."

Master James said, and remembered that when Lin An came to apply for the Elemental Balance Room, he couldn't help but breathe a little shorter when he "revealed" his true face.

Rheinthal in the main seat looked sideways at him.

In the information in his hand, there is a half-length sketch draft that has been traced back by a person who has seen Lin An's true face from memory, but on the back of the sketch draft, there is an essay by the original author, lamenting that this is a failed work, and the original author's painting skills cannot bring the temperament and posture of a real person to the paper, so this sketch draft did not become an official work in the end, but was collected by the original author.

And James, who had seen Lin An's true face, was even more harsh, saying that the sketch -

"If Master Lin from three years ago hasn't changed much from three years later, then this sketch doesn't depict one-tenth of his true appearance at all!"

It's not that Rheinthal has never seen a beauty, and he has seen a lot of beautiful ladies in the imperial capital than in the sketches, but he can't imagine what kind of peerless appearance the already beautiful women in the sketches will be multiplied by ten times!

However, for the aesthetics of his old friend, Rheinthal is confident.

James, who was born in the blue lion, also has no rare beauties, and even the blue lion family itself is known for producing beauty civilization, and the ancestors in family history have married the imperial royal family and the Meryl royal family.

Rheinthal is also a man, so when a legendary peerless beauty is in person, he will also give birth to the curiosity of male "sex", not to mention that if the other party's true appearance is really so captivating, then his personal curiosity psychology is irrelevant, what must really be paid attention to is how to estimate the influence of the other party's appearance on the current situation-

This is not an exaggeration, the aristocracy who really understands history will never underestimate the influence of women behind history.

There are countless histories to learn from, and then there is the example of Melissa's crown, a strange woman who balances the "pentagram" with the power of one person, in the era of Melissa's most powerful influence, even the light of the first lady of the empire must be avoided - after all, the woman who sits in the position of the queen is no more than a hundred years, and Melissa's crown is a half-step legend, but she has a lifespan of more than five hundred years.

Lin An only pursed his lips and smiled at James's words.

In such a heavy place as the Mage Tower, unknown people are not allowed to enter, and James found out from somewhere that she did not reveal her true face, so in order to enter the Mage Tower, Lin An had to take down the "Illusion of Aegis", but the current private banquet is not so necessary.

"My true face is actually not much different from now." The corners of Lin An's lips pursed out a shallow arc.

"Sorry, I was rude. Your peerless appearance is unforgettable! ”

James noticed Lin An's evasion, and couldn't help but be embarrassed, as a man who had seen Lin An's true face at this time, he was inevitably attracted instinctively, but he was born in a beautiful family, but he was not so sensitive to the world, and he only felt that since Lin An had a good background, why did he hide such a pearl as his true face under illusion?

Not to mention Lin An's background, but considering her talent, that kind of situation of taking advantage of the situation is not very likely to appear in Lin An.

It's not that Lin An can't see James's regretful "color", she still has a good impression of this male mage, although she is attracted by her beauty, but his attitude is quite upright, and Lin An has not found that he has obscene and obscene thoughts.

Lin An's work in her previous life had seen too many people with shameless and despicable faces, and even because of her own appearance, she had been disturbed by a lot of "sass", working in that kind of place where she was not rich or expensive, if she hadn't been strong-willed and clean, she would have fallen a long time ago.

And her current true appearance is not the same as before, and her current mental power perception is too keen, as soon as she thinks of the various obscene eyes and thoughts that she may perceive after "revealing" her true face in a social situation, as well as the flies and troubles that come with it, Lin An's scalp is numb -

"The charm of appearance is just a shell, if I can exchange my beautiful appearance for the entry of magic, I will not hesitate!" Lin An couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Sidney nodded earnestly in agreement.

This made Reinthal couldn't help but pay attention to him, and secretly judged the "nature" and potential of this disciple of Master Doyev - this Master Elvis and Master Lin were inseparable, it was impossible not to see her true face, with such a statement, it can be seen that the pursuit of power and magic is extremely determined, and it is difficult to be moved by external objects.

Such a person, regardless of what the future holds, at least already has the mentality of success, and by analogy, Master Lin, who is with him, should be in harmony with the former in terms of mental "nature" and will-

What's more, the two brothers and sisters who became close friends with Lin An, who were also from the hidden lineage, are said to be such people, Rheinthal will not believe Lin An's attitude in the private banquet, but he doesn't think that the other party can completely not "show" a flaw in making friends and getting along for a long time, so from the perspective of Lin An's choice of friends, Rheinthal has already made a certain judgment on the "sexual" character of this Master Lin.

"If she's someone like this who is focused on the realm of magic and not interested in worldly power, then it's a good thing for the Empire and for her,"

Rheinthal thought to himself, "Legendary powerhouses are the pillars of the Terrans, indispensable, and if such people reach the top in the future, it will also be a good thing for the entire race - the future development of the Terrans does not need to be dominated by strong people who like to point fingers." ”

The conversation continued.

"But appearance is a passport to communication, and it is also a label to make an impression - especially your beauty is a work of art that is favored by God, and I think it is a crime to hide your beautiful face like a god!"

Master James said.

"If she really 'shows' her true face all the time, it is a crime." Sidney whispered between his pauses.

Master James argued: "My ancestors once left a proverb because of a woman he had a crush on, 'If beauty is a sin, then let me be immersed in it.'"

Originally, I didn't think much of the ancestors' admiration for beauty, but after meeting Master Lin, I really understood the feelings of the ancestors when they left their proverbs. ”

Lin An was stunned, and Rheinthal coughed dryly, reminding his friend that this was not a suitable occasion for confession.

At the same time, he also secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't know how this Master Lin's true appearance was peerless, which made so many people who had seen her unforgettable, and also made James, who had only seen her once, so abnormal.

This phenomenon is not a good phenomenon in the eyes of Reinthal, who represents the majesty behind her, because even if Lin An has no intention, with her appearance and posture, it is enough to make many people worship under her skirt.

"Luckily, this Master Lin has no ambition to plunder the submission of the male sex." Rheinthal could see that Lin An's polite attitude was not smiling and respectful.

Rheinthal secretly observed Lin An's attitude towards heterosexuality.

Although she looks mature now, according to the information, her appearance was about sixteen or seventeen when she first appeared, and she is only in her twenties by now, and she seems to be very measured in her private life, choosing the second son of a small family as her lover, rather than the more affectionate and similar hermit disciple Andre and Burren, who have a wide range of backgrounds.

In Rheinthal's view, this is a kind of intellectual and intelligent expression, and at least for the time being, the Venerable Lynn knows very well where the boundaries of the worldly realm are, and strictly adheres to this demarcation, and does not cross them.

As a preliminary observer, Rheinthal was very satisfied with this, and believed that with his knowledge of the Majesty behind him, these messages would also be approved by the Majesty after they were transmitted.

This is very important to the female mage in front of her, a sapling, no matter how lush it grows into a towering tree in the future, there are still countless possibilities before it grows.

What's more, this sapling, due to the assertion of Melissa's crown, has gathered undue attention prematurely, which is not necessarily a good thing for her future growth.

Due to Master James's agitation, the conversation in the middle of the meal came to an end, and the atmosphere fell into a kind of silent embarrassment, and the four of them pretended to eat without incident, and although Master James apologized for the gaffe here, he still "revealed" a slight annoyance from time to time.

However, for Rheinthal, this private banquet has almost achieved his goal, although he did not see the true face of this female mage that had already aroused his curiosity, but after observing the other party closely, he can already give a perfect explanation to the majesty behind him about the information about this female mage who suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

The private banquet came to an end.

Rheinthal opened the topic again, this time not as subtle and euphemistic as it began, and seemed straight to the point:

"Master Lin opened up the magic pool this time, and it seems that he has stabilized his state. I don't know what plans I have for the future? "The net doesn't skip words.

Lin An is not surprised that Rheinthal can understand the advancement of mages so well, as a noble child like Rheinthal who was born in a traditional nobility, has a long history, and has inextricable relations with various forces, it is surprising that he knows nothing about mages.

Merlin's thousands of years of great nobles, all have a complex and long family history and intertwined relationships, the Benson family of the Governor-General's Excellency in front of him, it is said that there have been three hereditary marquises, eight hereditary earls, the viscount is uncountable, and there have been seven or eight princesses in history, and the branches of the royal marriage are innumerable, and the family history is amazing.

Compared with the blue-colored iris Stuart, in terms of family power and influence, Bensent's dukedom is slightly inferior in addition to not being an independent duke, and the private treasury of the Archduke Stuart may not be as rich as the family private treasury.

Therefore, although Lin An had just slapped the Mage Tower not long ago, when he really faced Rheinthal and James at the private banquet, he couldn't do anything wrong, especially the majesty represented by the identity of the governor, which made Lin Anxin avoid taboos.

Therefore, for Rheinthal's inquiry, Lin An pondered for a moment before slowly saying:

"The constant fierce battles and the smell of blood, as well as the tension of being in danger at all times, are certainly a test of will, but in the long run, they can also be tiresome and exhausting......"

Rheinthal was enlightened.

"I totally understand your feelings,"

Rheinthal didn't expect Lin An to be so sophisticated in the sense of proportion in advance and retreat, thinking of her age, he couldn't help but raise Lin An to a higher level in his heart.

"As a woman, you and your companion Mage Elvis have done on the front lines beyond the reach of most people.

It is only that at this time, the information on the front line is lagging behind, and it is believed that after the person in charge of the military merit assessment goes to the front line to learn the exact deeds of the two, all the disputes will be settled, and with the impartiality of the Military Supervision Committee, the brilliance of any meritorious person will not be allowed to be dimmed. ”

Lin An didn't have the idea of going to the bottom of it, whether she had planned to leave the ice field a long time ago, or to save face for his sake, Rheinthal quickly accepted the favor and gave euphemistic guarantees to appease Lin An's dissatisfaction.

Sidney slowly put down his knife and fork, "Without military merit, how can you build a mage tower?" ”

He didn't ask about Rheinthal, but about Lin An, but he didn't hear it.

Rheinthal smiled, and the corners of his eyes showed "mysterious" laugh lines:

If their military exploits on the front line are not far from ten, with the military merits of the two, it is not a problem to seal two hereditary titles, and it is not impossible to enter the third-class hereditary earl title of the real high nobles, after all, according to the current operation of the "Hero Plan", after the end of this war, there will be a large number of new nobles and titles.

This is not a difficult task for the Merlin Empire, the empire has a vast territory, accounting for nearly half of the entire Terran area, and after the vast ice field is included, the area will more than double.

After the end of the war, it is conceivable that large areas of the ice fields will be carved out.

It's just that the empire prohibits the private development and circulation of metal deposits, so the mineral deposits in those feudal territories can only make that large group of new nobles rich and wealthy, but they will not become the beginning of the self-respecting disaster.

It's just that such a noble title is estimated to be unattractive to the two mages in front of them, not to mention that for the two who are already planning to leave the Ice Field battlefield, they are probably impatient to wait until the end of the war, and then protracted to carry out a series of trivial things such as dividing titles and territorial demarcation.

Now that the investigation problem has been solved, as well as the current turmoil about the "Hero Project", out of consideration for the sake of the Majesty behind him and the family behind him, Reinthal felt that it might be necessary to further establish a good relationship with this Master Lin, especially when the other party took the initiative to mention some kind of hint-

"Regarding the disposition of the two meritorious deeds, maybe my advice can give the two of them some reference......"
