(8.3 First Update)

When Si Qi left, Winslow took over, looking surprised and in a hurry. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Earl, the messenger of Olise is waiting in the hall with an invitation, is it received?"

"It's a little slow to act, but since we're friends, we can't avoid it, so you ...... first."

I stood on my tiptoes and gave Winslow a frame, and he added the details.

"Okay, I'll arrange it, but this alternative way of hospitality is a bit sudden."

"That's it, that's the surprise of the meeting, and the surprise can't be ignored!"

I walked down the wooden staircase, and the messenger stood in the center of the spaciousness, a lonely figure a little lonely. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly turned around and greeted him with a smile.

"This is the new earl of the Bella family, this majestic momentum is coming!"

"Maybe it's a blockage of your sense of smell, or a mutation, but I find that it's not bad to be naïve."

"Eh, Earl, you're a big man, so why bother me like a little dust? Forget to introduce yourself, I am General Olise's staff officer, Thomas! ”

The staff officer did not follow the traditional flattery, but directly exposed my hypocritical smile.

"Then Mr. Thomas, I have been away from the imperial capital for many days, and I returned a few hours ago, and your news is very fast."

"Ah, that's a habit channel, and I don't think I'll be minded, it's the Earl after all!"

"You are very cunning, worthy of Olis's trusted subordinate, that late night visit, is there anything going on?"

"Oh, it was General Olise who sent me to invite the Count, he admires you very much, and this is the invitation."

Thomas respectfully handed the invitation to my palm, still cold and warm.

"Oh, I don't discern the content carefully, can I refuse? I'm very reserved and not used to social places. ”

"This is a special session designed for the earl, so there is no superfluous surveillance, this is the sincerity of the conveyance."

"That's right, but since it's sincerity, can you tell General Olise about his current situation, and if you're okay?"

I lowered my voice and created the atmosphere of judgment, even if it was a threat to Thomas.

"What answer does the Count want? I can also have a bottom line. ”

"Of course, it's a reality that is closer to the bottom line, and you should be able to read my simple meaning."

"Yes, concealment is not a way to escape, General Olise is in poor condition, especially in the mental sores, almost slowly healing. The body is very intact and able to walk. ”

The way Thomas limped and stumbled was mimicking Olis's state.

"In this way, this battle is not as easy as it boasts."

"Since the Count is already a spectator, he doesn't have to worry about the details, so there's no point, does it?"

In the face of my cynical teasing, Thomas's performance was perfect, his relaxed emotions were very difficult to control, and this frustration may be a shadow of eternal stay.

"Yes, but before I do that, I want to infiltrate your attempts so that I can be prepared."

"Actually, I can't guess what General Olis is thinking, he can always cause some surprises. However, with the Count's wisdom, he must have thought of the clues, and it was no ordinary invitation. ”

"Really? Do you have any suggestions? Even if it's a rough generalization. ”

"No, as long as the Count carries the deacon, everything will be easy, won't it?"

Thomas mentions Siqi, a ghostly presence that floats in the attic, leaning on a pillar.

"No, maybe it's just that the rebellious personality is difficult to change, so I'll leave him behind and choose a better partner."

"Oh? Only the Earl dares to try this kind of risk, but Olis also invited Mr. Siqi alone, and the voyeur hiding behind him will leave a flaw if he can't hold his breath! ”

Spotted Siqi walked down the stairs, and I had imagined that he would leap down, slide in a graceful arc, and then fall to his death, a shriveled vampire.

"I have a very keen sense of smell, I'm just the young master's housekeeper, but I can win this honor, I'm a little shy!"

"Mr. Siqi, you are humble, the Earl's achievements may not have your share of the spoils, but the foundation of the follow-up is your support, I think even the Earl cannot deny this."

"Yes, it's like instigating contradictions, I can be more generous, and my achievements also belong to me."

"Ah, the young master is really cunning, do you want to sell me cheaply if you promote my existence in front of outsiders?"

Si Qi's face was innocent, that was his most subtle disguise, and he was even able to deceive himself.

"Yes, may I ask Mr. Thomas, if General Olise's residence is short of minions, make a price!"

The humorous environment that I created with Si Qi was obviously a little uncomfortable with Thomas and didn't know where to start.

"He is worthy of being a first-class businessman, and he can sell any chips, but it is already overcrowded."

"That's a pity, Si Qi, you got away with being punished again."

"Yes, maybe it's the bond between master and servant, and they can't part with each other."

Si Qi bent down and stroked my hair, the sense of beauty of the picture was unbearable to look at.

"Ahem, it's a little frivolous to ravage the young master in front of outsiders and vent his embarrassment, please don't mind."

Thomas, who had been stunned, reawakened in my call, regrouping his chaotic thoughts.

"Yes, I'll forget about it, oh, it's an invitation for you."

Thomas took the invitation from his pocket and handed it to him.

"So, Mr. Thomas, may I ask if there are any extra invitations, and also speed up the slow pace."

"Yes, the rest is still for the signature, even if it is reserved for the place of the earl's friend!"

"No, if I match a friend, I will invade directly, this kind of invitation is very troublesome to carry, and it is easy to lose. I have one last question, have the members of the embassies stationed in the imperial capital already declined the invitation? ”

I tested Thomas's bottom line, and it seemed that I didn't stick to it, it was just a blank.

"Yes, they all excuse themselves for various reasons, and they who are used to politics will always have hidden worries."

"However, the situation is different now, since I have accepted it, I ask you to visit them again, although there is a suspicion of helping, but I believe they will change their minds, what do you say?"

I asked for Si Qi's suggestion, and he just smiled and didn't deny it.

"Yes, this is also the topic that General Olis has told, and passing on the Earl's attitude to others is a catalyst, and there can be unexpected gains."

Thomas bowed and was ready to leave, the trend of the movement already outstanding.

"Please stay, Mr. Thomas, the young master's confusion is over, I still have some additions, just delay for a while, so that I can prepare in advance."

"Mr. Siqi, please say, if I know, I will tell the truth."

"Actually, it's not an important link, it's just a patchwork question, whether formal dress is required to participate in the banquet, because the young master has always hated that kind of compact clothes, so he asked in advance."

Si Qi's focus is not on dressing, but on the degree of prohibition, after all, certain spacious clothes can hide enough secrets.

"No, there are no restrictions, but the deacons in the banquet are all skilled people dispatched from the warlords, and under their vulgar aura, they can't force the guests."

Thomas read Siqi's greeting and also launched a wave of counterattack, that is, a tight defense.

"That's very easy, I'll send you away, which can be regarded as a kind of thank-you greeting."

Thomas was the first to step out of the door frame, and suddenly a torrent of dirty water was all on his clothes.

"Ah, excuse me, what's going on? Treat your guests like this! ”

The servants who were cleaning up in the attic trembled under the threat, and were speechless for a long time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas, but it was the negligence of the servants in the embassy that caused this misunderstanding. Still stunned for what to do, fetch clean clothes for Mr. Thomas. ”

Thomas's sad face was hideous, and he didn't know how to vent his anger, so he could only suppress it.

"Mr. Siqi, this is all an accident, I won't bother anymore and retire first!"

"But this sludge will affect your image, and you may be ridiculed."

"Eh, it's okay, I'll rush back to the house first, change my clothes and set off again, then goodbye!"

Thomas bowed again and got into the carriage and left in view.

"Young Master, is your joke a bit excessive?"

"Hmph, aren't you actually very supportive? It seems that Ollis's sincerity is very strong, even if he is insulted, he can be so humble. ”

"Yes, after all, it is the last struggle before dying."

"What is the time and place of the banquet?"

"It seems like another long blank period, tomorrow night, 21 George Street."

I handed the invitation to Si Qi, so there was no need to browse it.

"Then, tomorrow daylight, I think it will be very lively again."

Si Qi walked to the stove in the corner, slipped the invitation inside, and then turned back.

"It's a terrible material, it's an embarrassment that can't be burned!" (To be continued.) )
