Two months later.

Crystal white snowflakes fell from the sky, covering all the streets, and the entire city of Donlanto seemed to turn white.

"What beautiful snow. ”

On the second floor of a luxury hotel with orange painted walls, a young man in a gray coat and delicate fluff looked out the window and sighed.

"Yes, every winter, when the city of Don Lanto is at its most beautiful, as if the whole city has been washed, and people's anxiety and tension are swept away. An old man in a black coat with gray hair next to him laughed: "Young man, you are coming to the north for the first time, right?"

"Yes, I grew up in the South, so I rarely get the chance to see this beautiful snow scene. Although he didn't know each other, he smiled back, what he said was indeed the truth, he did grow up in the warm and humid south, but not the south of the Sirius Empire, but the south of the Akatsuki Empire.

"It's not just snow in the north, there's a lot of interesting stuff! You can take a walk when you have time, young man, what's your name?"

"Kerr, if I have the chance, I will. Fox said politely, tugging on his felt hat.

"Oh, nice name, my name is Pagtov, a jeweler. ”

At this time, a woman with pale yellow hair trotted over and whispered to Kerks, "Young Master, lunch is ready." ”

"I see. ”

Nexus said lightly, then nodded slightly at the old man, signaling that it was time for him to leave.

"Go ahead, your maid is really very beautiful and pleasing to the eye. ”

Paghzov said with a smile, but there was only pure appreciation in his eyes.

Hearing the other party's praise, Bertha also nodded to the old man, probably feeling embarrassed, and her face became slightly ruddy.

Bidding farewell to the old man, Quex walked to the first floor under the leadership of Bertha, the reason why Bertha would call Master Nex was what Nexus himself requested, because his position on his disguised identity was that he was a young master of a wealthy family, who liked to travel, and came to Donlanto City when he traveled to the empire.

I came to the first floor, and a table on the left side of the first floor already had the food he wanted to eat, and there was a large table, which was very rich.

"Let's eat together, I can't eat so much alone. ”

Nexus said to Bertha that after all, people worked hard to prepare their lunches, and it didn't feel good to let them stand by and watch them eat.

"This ··········" Bertha hesitated, after all, her current status was just a maid.

But at the insistence of Kerth, she still sat down, Nexus didn't care, who wouldn't allow the rich young master not to be kind and care about his subordinates?

While X and Bertha were feasting, the old man who had been talking to Kers before, Pagtov, also came downstairs to eat, but the location was a little far away from them.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in an overcoat to come to the old man's table, then took out something like an invitation, handed it to Pagtov, and whispered something to him.

Nick glanced at it, didn't care, thought it had nothing to do with him, and continued to eat his own meal.

But after the middle-aged man left Pagtsov's table, he went straight to his side.

"Hello, Mr. Nexus. Up close, the man had a shrewd face and bright eyes.

Bertha saw that someone was looking for X, and quickly stood up: "Hello, do you have anything to do with my young master?"

Nexus also put down the dishes and looked up.

The middle-aged man was stunned, as if he didn't expect that the seated Bertha turned out to be the maid of X, after all, whose young master would sit and eat with the maid?

However, these were not his concerns, he quickly adjusted his form, and then pulled out a red invitation card with gold stripes on it, and smiled on his face.

"Mr. Nexus, on behalf of Viscount Yelena, I invite you to a dinner party to be held tomorrow evening at the Viscount's estate. ”

Quex raised an eyebrow, he didn't know any Viscount Yelena.

Wait, Nex suddenly felt that this name seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had heard this name when he heard some adventurers gossiping about it in the Mithril Tavern in Lemped City before, she inherited the other party's title and inheritance because of her husband's unexpected death, and it seemed that she was still a famous beauty.

"I'll think about it. Nexus stretched out his hand for the next invitation, but didn't say he would go.

The other party's face remained unchanged, nodded slightly, and then left.

Pagtov looked at the delicate invitation in his hand, and then fell into deep thought, at this time, Pagtov in the distance left his table and came to Nex's table.

"Looks like you've received an invitation from Lady Yelena, too?" said Pagtsov, smiling.

"Yes," replied Kers, "but I didn't have anything to do with Ms. Yelena before. ”

"Haha, that's normal, because so am I. ”

Pagtov couldn't help but laugh when he saw the puzzled look on his face.

"Do you know anything about this dinner?"

Nexus couldn't help but ask, looking at the other party's appearance, as if he had a certain understanding of this matter.

"Actually, I only know a little bit about it by hearsay. ”

Pagtsov coughed slightly.

"Viscount Yelena was a famous beauty in the state before inheriting the title, although she was not born in a noble family, but her family is also a wealthy family, but her reputation has not been very good, and it is said that she has an ambiguous relationship with many powerful people. ”

The Sky Wolf Empire has a vast area, divided into dozens of states, and there are many cities in the state, and the territorial setting of the Akatsuki Empire is similar, but it is called a district instead of a state.

The city of Donlanto is located in the state of Sata, which is among the best in dozens of states, and the supreme ruler is an imperial duke.

"But then I don't know why, Viscount Yelena, oh, not a viscount at that time, married Viscount Bellucci, who was a simple, kind man, and it is said that he fell in love with Lady Yelena at first sight, and did not care about the rumors about the other party at all, and insisted on marrying the other party.

But only a few months after the two got married, Viscount Bellucci died unexpectedly, and it was rumored that he was assassinated by the enemy, but no one knew the specific situation, and some people even rumored that Viscount Yelena planned the death of the other party, in order to inherit the other party's title and property.

Because of this incident, and her previous reputation was not good, although Ms. Yelena successfully inherited the title of viscount, many nobles did not recognize her identity. ”

Kerry's brows furrowed slightly: "Does this dinner have anything to do with this?"

"It's kind of related. ”

Pagtsov, who seemed to be a little tired from standing, pulled over a chair and sat down.

"A small deposit of magic stones has been discovered outside of Don Lanto before, and Yelena has recently obtained the right to develop this deposit. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xx's eyes, every discovery of magic stone deposits means a huge amount of wealth and resources, although Fox who has a magical palace does not need magic stones, but for other magic masters, magic stones are eternal hard currency, daily necessities.

All the magic energy stone deposits in the Red Moon Empire are officially controlled by the empire, and private individuals are absolutely not allowed to touch them, although the large and medium-sized magic energy stone deposits in the Sky Wolf Empire are also controlled by the state, but small magic stones are indeed allowed to be developed privately.
