Essentially, it's a palace ball, and it's more important to make friends than to eat, drink, and have fun. The true rulers of Old Dunlin will taste the wine behind the Veil, and their children, the future owners of Old Dunlin, will make friends on the dance floor and meet those who will rule with them in the future.

It was a real aristocratic world, and ordinary people could hardly reach that threshold in their entire lives, even if they were lucky enough to hear about it, they would feel honored.

Lorenzo breathed steadily, trying not to move too much, the evening dress was one size smaller, he wore it as if he had been stuffed into a sack, maybe Lorenzo would tear it apart like a beast with a hard swing of his arms.

The whole person was young under the dress of those attendants, I don't know how many years old, his skin was as white as mutton fat, his messy hair was also combed in an orderly manner, and when he looked in the mirror, Lorenzo even felt that he could go to be a human being.

Seleuc stood beside him, holding Lorenzo's hand, but because of the high difference, the two of them were like a father holding his daughter, and the only suspicion was that this father was a little too young.

"You look like a penguin. ”

Seleuce whispered, apparently speaking to Lorenzo, but she looked straight ahead, as if talking to herself.

The white lining under the black dress is really the same color as the penguin.

"You've seen penguins before?"

Lorenzo remembered the creature, the one that those navigators had found in the southernmost part of the world.

"It's written in the book. ”

"But I think you're more like an Adélie penguin. ”

Seleuc added.

"So what?"

"One behavior is ...... Indescribable penguins, usually they have difficulty judging the danger in the water, so they will kick their companions down, if they are okay they will swarm up, if they are eaten by other animals, they will scatter and find another place to enter the water. ”

Lorenzo's old face darkened.

Looking at it, Seleu was also dressed elegantly, or rather bloated, with a heavy white dress like a blooming white rose, but from Lorenzo's point of view, Seleu seemed to be stuck in a giant white cake, and now she dragged the giant cake with a precious metal platter on her head.

Thinking so, Lorenzo couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Do you want to know what you look like to me?"

"Please, be serious. ”

At this time, Yawei who followed behind said in a deep voice, his god had been unhappy from the beginning until now.

Lorenzo was their choice, but even so, Yawei was still not at ease, and the old butler was very cautious about the honor of the Stuart family.

Lorenzo continued, giving Yawei a blank look, and stepped forward with Seleuc.

The ball was held in the heart of Old Dunling, and a little more central to the inner city where the nobles and wealthy lived, a magnificent manor near the royal precinct, and its owner was the Duke of Salicado, who hosted the ball.

Because there are too many secrets hidden in the old Dunling, such as the mysterious purification mechanism, the mechanical courtyard, and the Furnace Pillar, which are not accessible to ordinary people, they are classified on the same level as the Platinum Palace, and the area where they are located is called the royal area, with the military garrison of the royal guard.

In the royal area near this manor is the Forge Pillar, but to be precise, the Forge Pillar's ground facility.

The manor was now full of horse-drawn carriages and new cars, and the cold winter nights were dry with feasts, and the smell of vanilla filled the air with all kinds of colors as far as the eye could see.

Men and women showed their charm as much as possible, the fluttering lotus skirt was like a flower blooming in the dead of winter, this is a sea of flowers, all kinds of fragrances mixed together to hit Lorenzo's nostrils, he even couldn't help but sneeze.

There is a prosperous scenery everywhere, Lorenzo is a little trembling, he has not seen such a prosperous scenery, as a former Order, the Basilica of San Narlo that Lorenzo guards is not worse than this.

The huge organ climbed like a metal creature on every corner of the wall, the magnificent paintings were engraved on the dome, and thousands of candles burned silently in the sacred solitude, and only the whispering prayers and hymns were sung by the world.

The Cathedral of San Narlo, which is probably the largest church in the world, was built from the time of the Seven Hills and took more than 600 years to complete, with a labyrinth of interior and the remains of every pope in the ground.

In terms of arrangement, it may not be enough to see the supreme platinum palace of Invig, but at the moment Loren's is not trying to compare anything.

In the same luxury, the Cathedral of San Nalo gave him endless sacredness and faith, and it was as if his soul had been purified, while the luxury here was full of the smell of power and wealth, and everyone here held an important position, a high position.

"Feeling a little uncomfortable?"

Seleuce asked in a whisper, she could feel the difference in Lorenzo.

"What's uncomfortable?"

Lorenzo smiled as kindly as he could, and then went to face the people he didn't even know.

"A wild dog was dragged into the spotlight...... Feelings?"

Seleucus thought for a moment and said.

"It's a really puzzling description, but that's exactly what it means. ”

Lorenzo wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find any reason, he did feel a little uncomfortable at the moment, and it was not that he had never been in contact with big people, but he was suddenly thrown into this luxurious circle, and he was always a little uncomfortable.

"It's good to get used to it, I used it for a week to get used to this. ”

Seleuce said lightly, she turned her head, and her blue eyes looked at Lorenzo like a clear sea.

To be honest, for a moment Lorenzo was panicked by her, and the girl's eyes were like this, full of magic.

But then Lorenzo heard what she meant, and his watch froze slightly, and he didn't know what to use.

Seleucus was essentially a wild dog, a small wild dog that Lorenzo had rescued from Gaulnalo.

It was the same with Seleuc a few years ago, a helpless little wild dog was pushed onto the stage of Stuart, presumably her discomfort was more violent than Lorenzo's at that time, which is why she came to Lorenzo when she had nothing to do.

Everyone is a wild dog, and the place that makes a wild dog comfortable is not the luxurious kennel, but the muddy pool on the street, and you can feel the joy of freedom while rolling.

"So what do we do next?"

Lorenzo didn't go any further, but instead found another topic, and Seleucus didn't ask too much, pointing to a remote chair at random.

The ball was much larger than Lorenzo had thought, with crystal lampposts hanging in the center and waiters coming and going, with wines freshly removed from the winery in their hands.

I have to say that the pomp and circumstance of this group of nobles is really in place, and Lorenzo tries his best not to reveal the appearance of his native dog.

Seleuc didn't want to have too much to do with the nobles, so he chose a remote location, but from the doorway to that position was destined to pass through the crowd, Lorenzo only hoped that no one would recognize them.

Lorenzo is not a celebrity, and may be recognized as a new friend in the circle, but Seleuc is different, this is the duchess of the Stuart family a month later, and behind it is the entire noble community that relies on the war award, and whoever can please her is equivalent to having the support of the entire Stuart aristocratic community.

If this ball was a lottery, Seleu's favor was undoubtedly the first prize at the ball, and if Lorenzo was a nobleman, he would have used all his strength to curry favor with Seleuc.

Looking down at the platter of precious metals, who would have thought that this first prize was here in Lorenzo? How could he do this? And it was useless for Lorenzo to ask for this first prize, and he might catch himself for tea at night.

But so far, the situation is not bad, it may be Seleu's low sense of existence, and no one has found her after coming in for so long, which makes Lorenzo a lot less trouble, after all, Lorenzo is Seleu's shield in the setting, responsible for rejecting all invitations.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly blocked Lorenzo's way, Lorenzo was shocked, and he was really discovered, but then the voice sounded, but it developed in a direction that Lorenzo didn't expect at all.

"Isn't this Mr. Holmes!"

A lady with heavy makeup blocked Lorenzo's way, and her voice was so bad that Lorenzo was in a trance.

Wait a minute......

Wait a minute, isn't this development right, shouldn't there be some young man who doesn't have long eyes to come and talk to me, and then be slapped in the face and rejected? What is the matter with being accosted now, and why does she know about me...... Wait a minute!

Lorenzo asked tentatively, looking at the lady's somewhat familiar face.

"Lady Vanessa?"

I saw that the lady's smile was even stronger, and she said happily.

"It's me, I didn't expect you to remember my name, come on, come on, it's a surprise to see you here, here are all old friends. ”

Saying that, Madame Fanacha took Lorenzo to another place, it was a group of noble ladies, they were chattering and did not know what they were chatting, and when they saw Lorenzo, it was like water boiling, and their voices were noisy.

"It's Mr. Holmes!"

"Come here, I haven't seen you in a long time. ”

"I'll introduce you, this is Lorenzo Holmes. ”

“......”

In a trance, Lorenzo was pulled around by countless hands, and the strange fragrance mixed together was almost suffocating.

The restlessness here also attracted the attention of the people around them, and everyone turned their eyes to it, as if they didn't expect someone to be so popular, and it seemed that the name should be a new friend in the circle.

These were a group of alert people, and they knew how difficult it was for those noble ladies to please, and when such a person suddenly appeared, they would inevitably go to see it, and the remote place became more crowded for a while.

"I didn't expect Holmes to be so handsome?"

"Mr. Holmes, what do you think of the opinion I told you earlier?"

"Mr. Holmes ......"

Chirping like a flock of birds screaming in your ears, Lorenzo didn't have much to look at, he struggled hard only to be stopped by one hand after another.

In the crowd, the neglected Seleuc slowly raised his head, looked at Lorenzo with an embarrassed face and asked.

"So you're so popular?"

Lorenzo bowed his head sharply, and then pulled Seleuc through the crowd, not forgetting to explain, but it seemed a little embarrassed, and his face was very strange when he said it.

"Do you remember my name as the Little Three Terminator?"

Seleucus puffed out his mouth, as if he was smiling, and Lorenzo shook his head even more embarrassedly when he saw her like this, and then said.

"Meet the ladies who commissioned me, and now you see the little group they have formed, the Saturday Housewives. ”

A group of housewives who are heartbroken by men and choose to go out on Saturday night.

So the ladies embraced Lorenzo to celebrate this rare reunion.

......

On the second floor of the ball, men and women whispered in a dark corner, and unlike the noisy hall dance floor, it was quiet, so that the girls could finally stop and look out the window to enjoy the rare freedom.

Several men saw her, a little uncertain at first, but when they saw the bright red hair burning like fire, they slowly approached as if they had determined a target, and one of them spoke as gently as possible, like a good man.

"May I ask this beautiful young lady ......?"

The girl slowly turned her head at the voice, and at first there was a look of disgust on her face, but as if she had thought of something, her expression changed rapidly, and then she smiled like a kind girl.

At this time, the man's heart was overjoyed, he had long heard about the girl's bad personality, and he was ready to be rejected, but he didn't expect her to smile at himself, which was simply the first step to victory.

"Can I invite you to dance?"

The girl seemed to hesitate a little, but finally put her hand on it with a smile, feeling the softness in her hand, and the man was about to scream excitedly, but he didn't expect that he would finally become it.

The girl on the other side ignored this, she tilted her head slightly, and looked at the two people on the side of the corridor, they seemed to be spying on the girl, and they kept getting closer from just now, and then the girl directly pulled the man down the stairs quickly.

"Do you want to dance with me?"

On the way downstairs, the girl suddenly said to the man, and the man nodded vigorously again, in his opinion, glory and wealth were within reach.

But then the girl pointed at him and said, "Those two don't seem to want me to go." ”

When he heard this, the man became vicious, and it seemed to him that it was his mortal enemies who stood in his way today, and when he turned his head, he saw the two men who looked like waiters walking downstairs, so he said to the girl.

"Don't worry, I'll deal with them. ”

"Then it's up to you!"

Eve patted the man on the shoulder as if she had been sent from heaven, watched him meet the two menacingly, and then slipped into the crowd with a sly laugh.

And at this moment, on the higher third floor, the man leaned against the handrail, looking at the cluster of flowers gathered by the noble ladies and frowning slightly.

"Lord Duke, do you need me to make them quiet?"

Seeing that the Duke was not quite right, the waiter asked.

The dance party has multiple meanings, the dance floor in the hall on the first floor is for entertainment, the shadow on the second floor is a place for young people to make friends and talk, and the third floor is protected for these big people who really hold power, and many interests will be decided here.

"No, I just think there's someone there who looks familiar. ”

Duke Fix said slowly, he couldn't see the person in the center of the flower cluster at such a distance, but at this moment he had a strange sense of disgust in his heart, just ...... It's like pulling out a gun and firing there.
