Chapter 232: Suits
Pique's movements are slow.
Ryder knew that Peake could have done such a tinkering job in an hour, but it was late at night, and the two of them were still busy.
Finally, Ryder helped Peake down the ladder.
Looking at the finished product in front of him, Ryder couldn't help but admire the essence of Pique's craftsmanship in his heart.
Things in the production room are like a dream.
It was as if as soon as I woke up, and the statue was restored to its original state.
Ryder stood there, silently thinking about how much he should be paid for the dumb butler.
Pique stood quietly beside Ryder - he was seriously injured, and although he had persevered until now, he had also reached the tipping point of his physical strength. As a simple carpenter, there is always an instinct for care. He inspected the statue again and made sure it was in perfect condition.
Finally, Peake looked at the statue, and he smiledβas if there was something in his smile that he hadn't seen before.
Then Ryder asked, "Would you like something to eat?" We've been busy since noon. β
"Whatever you want. Peake said, "Get some beef." Then he added.
"Huh?" Ryder wondered, "what are you talking about?"
Peake knew that another voice in his body was protesting, and helplessly, he said, "I said just eat some beef." β
"Beef, we don't have that kind of thing at home, and if we want to eat beef, we have to go to a restaurant. But now the restaurant is closed. Ryder scratched his head.
"What the fuck is there, get it out!" Peake growled. After saying that, he was taken aback by himself, "No, it's not me. He denied it, and then added. "You were the one who just spoke. Don't deny Pique."
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ryder looked at Pique, who was talking to himself in front of him, and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but finally opened his mouth but couldn't interject at all, only to see PiquΓ© say there again:
"It must have been you just now!Zhu Tian, I never curse anyone."
"Fart! Don't rely on me for everything. β
"That's the fuck you!, Zhu Tian, your emotions affect me all the time. β
"Look, you're cursing again. β
β......β
Ryder watched in amazement as the self-talking guy walked out of the production room and toward his own room.
This time, Ryder made sure that Pique didn't go to the donkey shed again.
......
......
At noon on the second day of Pique's return to the lumber yard, the mayor's family sent four servants to fetch the statue.
At this time, Ryder had a bag of their remuneration in his hand, and watched as the four hemp servants struggled to bring down the statue and carry it out.
The mute butler stood at the gate of the courtyard, said a few words to Ryder, and then gave him an invitation.
"What does that mean?" Ryder looked at the red invitation in his hand and wanted to ask the old butler. But then he thought that the old butler was a mute, so he had no choice but to give up.
Watching the four servants slowly leave with difficulty carrying the statue, Ryder shook his head, and then glanced at the invitation card in his hand.
Before he could open it, a hand reached over and snatched the invitation away.
"Peake, this invitation is for me. "Ryder was about to grab it, but he didn't grab it.
"It's clearly written that the maker of the statue is invited to a banquet, are you the maker of the statue?" said Peake, shaking his head, his eyes shining with a special light.
"Actually, they should have invited our grandfather, who in their eyes was the maker of the statue. β
"My grandfather was taking a nap, so I went for him. Peake laughs.
"But it says it's a dinner party. β
"Grandfather has to sleep at night......"
"Peake, you ......" Ryder watched Peake walk back to his room, and touched his head suspiciously, yesterday he was still in a state of confusion and insanity, how could he change back today.
Peake's house.
He looked at the invitation again, and it read such a neat line.
"The maker of the statue is invited to attend a dinner at the mayor's castle, and the mayor will personally come forward to thank him, please be present before the dinner begins. β
Thanks?
Pique thought it was a wedding invitation...... He could imagine that the reason why Ryder would snatch this invitation was also because Ryder didn't show him to go to Haysgar's wedding.
But obviously, this is not a wedding invitation, and no wedding is held at night. So what is the purpose of this dinner?
Peake looked at himself in the mirror, at the pair of heterochromatic pupils, and said, "If you want to go to the dinner party, you need a beautiful dress." β
But then, a wicked smile appeared on his lips, and he uttered a negative voice: "Beautiful clothes? no! I think you need a sword more, a sharpened sword." β
The evil smile disappeared: "I'm going to see Hasjia, I hope you don't affect me when I see Haysjia." β
"Oh, Peake, when did you get so tough? I thought you were going to cry and beg me. β
"Don't be so cynical, this matter is important to me!"
"What is the purpose of your visit?" he said, in a cold tone.
"Just go and see her, just look at her. β
"Hahahaha! Look at her, trust me, you can't help but talk to her. If you see her smiling and holding Pizza's hand, that scene must be funny. β
"......" he began to fall silent. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Zhu Tian, you brought your anger to me...... However, I feel like this is a good thing at this point. β
"Why? You figured it out, do you want to take the sword with you? I think it's better to use a knife, believe me, a knife is much better than a sword......"
"No! I just want to carry a noble cane. Peake stroked the noble cane on the table.
"Noble cane, have you recovered your mental strength?" Zhu Tian's voice was a little surprised.
"No...... But I found something funny. Peake laughs.
"Fun stuff?"
He took out a shiny black stone from his bosom, the size of a thumb knuckle, and completely irregular.
"Magic Crystal?" Once, Zhu Tian lent this magic crystal to Ryder, and he used it to make phone calls...... "We have all lost our spiritual power, so this magic crystal is useless." β
"Have you forgotten? There is still a spiritual power of mine in this magic crystal. Peake slowly turned the magic crystal in his hand.
"What do you mean, even if you have your mental power in it, you can feel it?"
"Of course, I already felt it when Ryder handed me this magic crystal just now!"
"That'...... This is indeed good news. Zhu Tian pursed his lips.
"I can feel it, I can mobilize the mental power inside, but ......" he hesitated again.
"But what?" asked Zhu Tian.
"I'm not sure, mental power is like a consumable, I may be able to call it once, but it should only be once...... And what I can be sure of is that I didn't have much mental power left in it before, so I shouldn't be able to do anything. β
"That's good news...... Often, all it takes is one supernatural power to save your life. He looked at the bronze mirror with a bored look, "Let's go, I want to eat beef, let's go to dinner." β
"Going to buy a new dress?" said Peake.
"Do you still have any money on you?"
......
......
Before sunset.
Black wagons laden with goods blocked the streets.
Two young men dressed in black servants' costumes stood at the door of the mayor's mansion, checking the names of the gifts on the carriage one by one.
"A Thousand ...... of Abalone in the Deep Sea"
"Crystal Cup Twenty ......"
"Fifty ...... of Prairie Rhino Horn"
"Thirty ...... of mink fur"
Two little servants checked the accounts, while the old butler Hodder checked the invitations and greeted one distinguished guest after another politely. Until, he saw a special invitation. He looked up slowly. A look of astonishment appeared on his face.
In front of me, I saw a guy dressed in a strange way, a strange white clothes, a strange white shirt, and a strange blue hat.
Why did he feel weird, because he had never seen anyone in such a costume, or rather, there had never been such a costume in the entire continent!
Weird...... However, this costume looks surprisingly neat, and it gives people the feeling of standing out from the crowd, and if you put this guy in the crowd of 10,000, he will definitely stand out!
The old butler Hodder looked at the invitation card in his hand again. He secretly thought that this person was the maker of the noble statue. Are artists so maverick?
Peake walked through the door of the mayor's house and looked up slowly, his eyes slowly peeking out from under the brim of his hat.
"Zhu Tian, what are you wearing for me? Did you see the surprised eyes of others? β
"What do you know? This is called a suit! You have to wear a suit on a formal occasion to dominate the crowd! I can guarantee that when you enter the banquet, no one will be more brilliant than you!"
In fact, three hours earlier, Peake had arrived at the tailor shop where Dolly's mother worked. Coincidentally, Dolly was there too. Just like that, with his relationship with Dolly, he took two large pieces of white cloth on credit from his boss. Originally, Pique just wanted to simply make two clean clothes, but who knows! Zhu Tian directly took control of his body, and with the help of Dolly and her mother, he made this "suit".
The only good thing about the white suit, Pique, felt was that it didn't make the white gauze around his neck look too obvious.
"When you come in, you don't want to snatch your body casually, or people will think I'm a madman, even though I'm dressed like a madman now. Peake unconsciously pulled up his collar to cover the bandage exposed to his neck.
"Trust me, you're definitely the prettiest boy on this street!"
β......β
After entering, there is a huge square large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, on both sides of the square are two rows of two-story small buildings, which should be the rooms where the servants live, and at the end of the small building is the bell tower, at this time, the bell rang one after another, stirring up a quaint and mellow sound.
But at this time, in the square between the two-story buildings, waves of people gathered. At a cursory glance, there are probably more than a hundred people, huh...... Or maybe more than 200 people. His ears were filled with the sound of their buzzing conversation, and Peake felt like his head was going to explode......
Most of them were Odin and Chia, and the Yodelman was very few.
This is completely understandable, most of the people who can be invited to the dinner by the mayor are either rich or noble, and belong to the upper class of the peace town, they either have several facades in the peace square, or the landlord who owns 100 acres of fertile land.
As for the few yodelmans, except for a few servants, there were a few merchants with flattering faces and low grins.
At this time, there was a clear distribution in the square.
The Odin stood in a heap, and they were outnumbered, almost half of them. The Chia stood in a heap, most of them the owners of the shops in the Peace Square. The yodelmen were crammed into the far corner, with only a dozen men......
These yodelmen are a group of fresh faces, but Peake doesn't know any of them, and he thinks so, how can he know someone of the level of the town grown.
Originally, when Peake walked in, he wanted to stand with those yodelmen, who he didn't know, but then he dismissed the idea. Because, in the midst of the Chians, he saw a familiar faceβHade Yows!
So, he walked slowly towards the group of Chiya.
