Leonardo was slightly stunned when he saw Lin An and John getting off the unsaddled horse, and greeted him, "Master Lin, who are you?" ”

"The carriage broke down halfway, so I had to come over like this, which made you laugh,"

Lin An and John had already dismounted neatly and handed the reins to the servants in Bencent's mansion, Lin An smiled slightly, and said, "I hope it's not too late." He nodded to Leonardo and James.

"Of course it's not too late, in fact it's just the right time."

Lin An's neat dismounting action made Leonardo's eyes flash with a hint of amazement, and then he remembered that he missed the opportunity to get close to the beautiful woman of Fu Lin'an's dismount, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and hurriedly made up for it and invited Lin An to enter.

And James was watching idly, and when he saw his old acquaintance, he just nodded, with a casual attitude, but Lin An always felt that he had a special sense of distance today, standing a few steps away, as if he didn't want to get close to her, and couldn't help but look at him twice.

The group walked towards the main house, and the courtyard gate slowly closed, but there were still some people outside who were probing their brains. Lin An and the two rode all the way over, and the traces had been discovered, and the neighborhoods were all aristocratic settlements, and there were a lot of eyeliners in each mansion, so the news that Lin An was a guest at Bencent's Mansion spread quickly.

In fact, at yesterday's court ball, Leonardo and Lin An had seen each other, but they had not talked officially, and they really met this time.

Leonardo, who is the heir of the Benson family, does not have any arrogance, and in Leonardo's opinion, Lin An is not as arrogant and unapproachable as rumored, so even if James, the escort, does not play his due role, by the time the group walked to the reception room, the conversation between the two sides was already getting better.

Refreshments had been set up in the reception room, the black tea exuded a mellow fragrance, and the two who had a good conversation did not forget the main purpose of this appointment.

As soon as Lin An provoked the topic, Leonardo called the housekeeper to present the relevant agreements and contracts for the transfer of the mine that had been prepared for a long time, and John stood up. Nodding to Lin An, he walked to the other side with the housekeeper to discuss the specific details, and Lin An and Leonardo, who were the actual stakeholders, of course, did not have to discuss the details of the contract one by one in person.

There were some disagreements between John and the housekeeper of Bencent's Mansion in the middle of the discussion, and the housekeeper reported in Leonardo's ear, at this time, Lin An came out freely, wanting to fill up the remaining half cup of black tea for himself, and reached over with one hand to pick up the teapot and did what Lin An wanted to do.

Lin An glanced up at James, "I thought you weren't going to say a word to me, Master James." ”

James only interjected a few words from beginning to end between Lin An and Leonardo's conversation. At other times, Leonardo basically took the initiative to talk to him, and it was a dereliction of duty to accompany the guests to do this, but Leonardo seemed to have become accustomed to James's strange temper. I don't care at all.

"I didn't come on my own initiative," James whispered, "and if I had known it was you, I wouldn't have come." ”

“…… Oh? Lin An was a little surprised, although she and James were not right. However, he still rarely said such rude words, especially when Transparent didn't have a holiday just now.

"Some people think we're a good match." James snorted.

"Hah!"

Lin An smiled, and finally understood the reason why James was unhappy: although a man was unmarried and a woman was unmarried, both of them knew that there was no spark between them. There is no ambiguity at all, and Lin An also feels strange when he thinks that someone has paired her with James.

James's weirdness was only worse than that of Lin An. Lin An's sexual orientation is at least normal, and obviously no matter how shocking Lin An's appearance is, James only appreciates it and has no thoughts.

Lin An couldn't help laughing.

"What are you talking about, talking so happily!"

Leonardo had already finished talking to the butler and watched Lin An and James's whispers for a while. Only then did he intervene, his eyes were interested.

Lin An pursed his lips and smiled. Without speaking, James looked at Leonardo impatiently, "Nosy! ”

Leonardo not get angry, but laughed.

In his opinion, James can show his true feelings in front of Lin An like this, and Lin An seems to be used to it, obviously the relationship between the two is not as incompatible as James said.

The discussion at the end of the contract went relatively smoothly, John did not come to Lin An, Lin An guessed that Bencent probably backed down a little, and after about a magic hour, John returned to Lin An, and the housekeeper of Benson Mansion also came over with a renegotiated contract agreement.

The three of them stopped talking.

Lin An didn't know where the disputed part of the amendment was, there were about dozens of pieces of paper in the two-inch thick contract, Lin An simply flipped through it, glanced at John, Johnm nodded, Lin An picked up the quill and signed at the place where he signed it, and then took off the seal ring in his hand and stamped it with his personal seal.

Because the agreement was modified, Leonardo also re-signed, and seeing that Lin An signed the contract without looking at the contents, a different color flashed in his gray-green eyes, "Master Lin's trust in His Excellency John is really rare, it is said that His Excellency John only became your follower on the return trip?" ”

Lin An smiled, "I have always believed that trust has nothing to do with the length of time, and Johnham is worthy of my trust. ”

Leonardo stroked his palm gently, "It is worthy of the famous purple rose on the ice field!" ”

Lin An smiled and accepted the praise, and Leonardo said:

"I've heard about your loss of spell casting ability, I wonder how you're injured right now? The Benson family has dealings with several masters of the Arcane Order, and if you don't mind, I can introduce you on your behalf. ”

This is the first time that someone who has a new acquaintance has talked about this topic in front of Lin An, needless to say, the people who should be considered have already said it on the ship, and the people I have met since coming to the imperial capital are all general, of course, I will not mention this topic when I first met.

Lin An smiled faintly, and was about to explain, but James on the side had already signed the guarantor certificate, and interjected, "Leo, you are troublesome, do you think it doesn't matter if you are alone?" ”

With Mourinho's group of masters, when did Lin An not find someone who could help her? She doesn't look for it, of course, for her reasons.

Leonardo was surprised, "Oh? Master Lynn also knows a master in Merlin? ”

"I have two close friends who have an old relationship with an elder of the Secret Law Order, and I just received an invitation before I went out." Lin An smiled.

James glanced at her, Lin An's words were not true, but he couldn't say that she was lying.

"Oh? That's just right. James's teacher, Master Larry, is also an elder of the Arcane Order, and the next time you go, you can just let him introduce you, I wonder which of your two friends is the old friend of the master? Is it Master Kodiak or Master Robinho?

It's a pity that Master Larry is not here now, but he grew up in the Arcane Method, and he is also familiar with several other masters, and when you go, you also have an acquaintance with him......"

Leonardo opened the conversation box and talked endlessly, and Lin An only understood his intention when he heard it. The personalities of Rheinthal's eldest brother and younger brother are completely different, and it is hard for Lin An to imagine that Rheinthal faces this eldest brother who likes to be a matchmaker at home.

James endured until he couldn't bear it anymore, and Lin An watched as a spiritual light flew out of the ring on his left hand. The mute suddenly silenced Leonardo, and the coffee table seat became silent.

Leonardo glared at James a few times and had to keep his mouth shut. A helpless face. The housekeeper and the servants in the reception room all noticed the anomaly here, but they just looked twice, and no one came, as if this was a common situation.

Although zero-level spells can be cast at will under the prohibition of the imperial capital, they will not last long after all. After a while, the mute effect wore off, and Leonardo spoke again, denouncing James, "What a rude you are in front of the guests! ”

James rolled his eyes. With a snap of his fingers, the butler of Bencent's Mansion appeared in response and said politely: "Two young masters." Miss Lynn, Lord John, dinner is ready. ”

"Continue to ramble or go to dinner, choose one of the two." James said lazily.

Leonardo glared at James in exasperation and turned to his butler, "My dear Uncle Loew. Sometimes I suspect you're a spy sent by James! ”

"Lev has been serving at Bencent's house for three hundred and eighty-nine years and forty-five days. My young master. ”

The confronted butler replied calmly, and then pointed out sincerely, "Besides, your annoyance and anger are fifty percent likely to make a bad impression on this beautiful lady who is visiting her door for the first time, and your intentions seem to have been revealed." ”

Lin An snorted out laughing, and James also smiled.

After the dinner of the guests and hosts, Lin An visited the Benson Mansion, and stayed for a while before being sent out, the two sides parted with a smile, and even James, who had a faint expression when he first came, smiled and sent Lin An to the door with Leonardo.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin An to ride back on horseback, and the carriage had already been prepared, and after getting into the carriage, Lin An sighed to John:

"This Lord Leonardo, it seems ordinary, but in fact it is not simple, in the end, he is the heir of the thousand-year-old family."

John knew the reason for Lin An's sigh, "The heirs of Bencent's generation are not outstanding in terms of political talent and bloodline talent, but because of their good management, the relationship between this generation and other worldly friends is much closer, and I haven't heard of any enemies and obvious bad comments from this Lord Leonardo outside. ”

Lin An nodded, "Just seeing that he can meet for the first time and be able to talk to me like an acquaintance without a trace of disobedience, it is amazing." ”

When it comes to the tactfulness of communication, Leonardo, Fritz and Salin are all outstanding, but Fritz has the arrogance of the aristocracy, and Saleen's style has a plausible evil and aggressive feeling, and when it comes to making people feel like a spring breeze moisturizing things silently and funny, this Leonardo is the best.

Lin An also has a good impression of His Excellency Leonardo, and has seen a lot of nobles and communicative words with a shelf and reserve, and of course there is a feeling of brightness in the eyes of a big nobleman who can put down the shelf and talk like an acquaintance and friend.

"I even persuaded him to go with them to visit the Secret Law Mission, hey, I have to explain to Andre and them when I go back." Lin An smiled bitterly.

"Even if you don't agree, Your Excellency Leonardo must go, and there must be a way to confirm the time." John comforted.

Lin An smiled slightly, her mood was actually good, in the final analysis, the transfer of the mining area was just an agreement between her and Rheinthal when they were in the ice field, and now that the world is changing, this agreement can be an intermediary to get closer to each other, or it can be a transaction between money and silver.

Judging by Leonardo's reaction, the feedback she received was still good.
