"Hey, if it weren't for Minian, I'd have wanted to go."

Ophelia walked ahead, brushing the new leafy vines on the wall with one hand, enjoying the fine weather in the early afternoon.

"It's okay, although that Cyril has some crooked thoughts, your Minian is still very determined." Annabelle took Li Fang's arm and smiled.

"No, don't talk nonsense!" Ophelia suddenly turned around and walked backwards, justifying: "Minian is just my friend, and if she takes ten thousand steps back, she is a person who is determined to be Gegu, so there is no room for me to interfere." I've always liked only Fluff. At the end of the sentence, she was still a little proud.

After Ai Jie's incident, Cyril quickly claimed that he remembered that there were still some things to deal with, so he left first, and asked his daughter Minian to entertain everyone.

After he left, the atmosphere at the banquet was much more lively, and the young nobles who were the same generation as Minian talked more openly, and Annabelle was asked if there was any secret to her maintenance, after all, she still looked youthful and energetic in appearance, even younger than some of the noble ladies present.

Li Fang himself was also questioned a lot, and after a perfunctory past like Anna, he learned a lot about the current nobles of Rapoll from the conversation, and as expected, there was nothing outstanding about it, most of them were just a group of rice worms cowering in a relatively safe place.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he and Anna got up to take their leave, and Ophelia left with them.

"Got it, you go back first, if Miriya and the others come back first, you can help greet them." Seeing Ophelia's somewhat excited appearance, Li Fang said: "Besides, Flora didn't say that she would definitely come, don't be too happy, after all, you kissed someone yesterday, maybe she doesn't want to face you today." ”

The pointed ears protruding from the side of the human head in front of him are red and transparent in the sunlight, and the leisurely and flat posture resembles the appearance of a legendary elf in memory.

"I'm happy if she comes or not." Ophelia turned her back, waved her hand, and said, "Then I'll go this way, and I wish you all the best." The tall back turned into another fork in the road.

……

Following the guidance posted on the post, Li Fang and Annabelle came to a mansion.

Compared with Cyrill's house, there are not so many carvings here, the straight white red wall is not covered with vegetation, and the iron railing more than four meters high is locked and locked, facing a white wall, as if outsiders are strictly forbidden to explore the scenery inside.

"It seems that Conrad is indeed a little richer than the Cyril family if you count Rapole alone."

Annabelle still maintained the posture of holding Li Fang's right arm, and as Li Fang gradually became known to more people, there may be more things like what happened in Cyril's house today. She glanced sideways at Li Fang, who handed out the invitation to the guards on duty, and a little smile appeared on her lips, she was swearing sovereignty, right? But ah, just snuggling up to each other and walking on the road, there is indeed a sense of happiness in the bottom of my heart.

A short time later, a servant came and opened the door to greet the two, and guided them through a paved stone path between a green lawn, and made some detours to a small building that seemed unexpectedly ordinary in the corner.

"This is where the Conrad family meets? What an accident. Li Fang was a little puzzled.

The servant pushed open the door and turned back and said, "The master does not like the rules that the old nobles followed, and he would never go to the lavishly decorated main hall to receive guests unless necessary, and only 'honorable' guests would be invited here. ”

Somehow a little fear flashed across the servant's face as he said the word honorable, and when he turned back to enter the room, he found a familiar man standing at the doorway.

"The new aristocracy can't compare to others in the end, but I'm the kind of person who can't let go of my body, so I don't want to imitate that set of self-inflicted humiliation, and simply build a big mansion as a façade."

Conrad waved his hand lightly to signal the servant to stand back, then raised his hand sideways and said, "Come in, you two, don't blame me for being inhospitable." ”

Walking into the room, there is not much difference from the furniture of an ordinary small rich house, and such a house is built in such a wealthy place, giving people a sense of incongruity.

"You're the only one in the room?" Walking through the corridor that was not wide, Li Fang found that there were only the voices of the three of them in this house.

"Well, most of the time I come here when I want to be alone," Conrad, who looked very impressive from behind his meticulously groomed appearance, turned the hallway into the spacious living room, "Of course, sometimes I meet some 'big guys' here." ”

"Then we're honored to have you here." Li Fang thought to himself, maybe in his eyes, he could kill demons, and he was connected with more than thirty big swords, he could be regarded as a "big man".

This kind of quiet and private meeting made Li Fang feel more comfortable, and it was much more useful than the excitement of Cyril's house.

"No, it's actually my honor to have you invited." Conrad gestured to the triangular single seat in the living room, then leaned over to lift the teapot on the central tabletop and poured out three cups of steaming hot tea.

"Miss Annabelle, this is a specially prepared tea for someone of your stature, and Miss Octavia, Miss Europa, and Master Klos are all fond of this flavor."

Shocked by the words, Li Fang and Annabelle's faces changed suddenly.

"What the hell are you?" Li Fang pressed Annabelle, who almost wanted to do something, and said in a deep voice.

"Human, what else could it be?" Conrad laughed, sighed again, and said, "But as a human being, I really envy you so much, not only can you capture Miss Annabelle's heart, but you can also get along with a group of great swords." If Miss Octavia hadn't said you were just human, I wouldn't have believed that you weren't as noble as they were. ”

"Don't be vigilant, I invited you two over today, without the slightest malice, if you still want to say a few words to a weak human like me and get to know each other, then please take a seat, okay? I don't want to be told that the new aristocracy is just rich. ”

Li Fang and Annabelle glanced at each other, and Annabelle nodded, indicating that Conrad was indeed human. The two of them immediately took their seats, and Annabelle also tasted the reddened tea in the cup, and her eyes suddenly lit up, there was no peculiar smell, it was really delicious!

"So you're in the service of the Awakened? Why? Li Fang asked lightly.

Conrad also tasted the tea, kept his head slightly bowed and said: "In front of demons, if the unfortunate person wants to live, is there any other choice but to cling to the strong?" Realizing this, I bowed down under Miss Octavia's skirt and begged her to take me in this life that had no attachment but hatred. ”
