Chapter 137: The Beginning of the Summer Ball
Duchamp was wrapped by Dieteri and involuntarily went to the Green Leaf Office, and Emma greeted him with a look of surprise: "Director, today is not the weekend, why are you also free to come back." ”
"Director?" The three friends repeated in surprise.
In the lounge area, Dietrie looked curiously at the interior of the Green Leaf Office.
Fang sighed and admired: "I didn't expect that this kid Stellary would have such a big family business at a young age." ”
Learmour diligently ran to the reception area and asked Emmatau about Duchamp.
Duchamp hurried upstairs, hid in his little dark room, took out the guide workbench, and raced against time to make money.
This flawless green natural crystallization is one of Duchamp's many gains from the Mainz Mineyards, the Spirit of the Light Breeze is just a fancy non-practical magic that can summon a wind spirit to fly in the air for a few seconds, and only a fool would rack his brains to figure out how to channel this waste wood spell into a valuable magical jewel.
But right now, how appropriate the jewel is for the occasion, the purpose, and the object of gifting. Such a waste wood crystal can be exchanged for 1 million meters in an instant, which really makes Duchamp smile.
To make it look worth 1 million meters, he made a base out of white gold, and used Mithril and FlashChip to inlay a delicate and shiny little butterfly next to it. Finally, a necklace was made out of white gold.
Of course, it's the conductive workbench that's hands-on. Duchamp was beside him, sweating profusely, mobilizing his mental strength to steal the master, striving to stabilize the level of jewelry he made to C as soon as possible.
Finally, the guiding workbench is in the inner circle of the pendant, and the words 'The Wind Brings the Dance of the Spirits' are written in fancy ancient characters.
"It's amazing, it looks like it was unearthed in the Middle Ages." Duchamp admired it proudly and felt that he had made another step forward in jewelry design. He found a Patek Philippe jewelry box, packed the pendant, named "Dance of the Elves", walked downstairs, and handed it to Dietrie.
Dietrie opened it and immediately cheered happily, the name and meaning of the ornament were as if it had been specially made for the ball.
"I won't lose the face of the Kane family now." He said with satisfaction.
"Next, let's go around the city, where is the most exclusive dress shop here?"
Duchamp turned to Emma with a pleading gaze, and Emma was a jack-of-all-trades, and soon inquired about the address.
"Go ahead, I'm all back, and I'll take care of some things in the office by the way."
Dietrie gave him an impatient look, and Liermu immediately added knowingly: "Several of us have suitable dresses, and this is what we have to see for you!" ”
Du Xueba was hit hard again.
After some preparations, at 3 p.m. on May 19th, all the boys in the elite class, despite the heat, went to the opening venue of the summer ball, the most famous rose glass conservatory in Rure, Elon Estella, despite the heat. In the northern country of Rulei, this is the best time of the year, when the red, rose, gold, pink, white, blue, and purple roses are in full bloom, and other plants are also in the season of flowering and drawing.
"This is Elon Estella? It's a name well deserved. ”
"Thanks Chris, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to dance here without you."
The eye-opening students were whirling around, and it was something to brag about when they got home, and they had been to Elon Estella.
Elon Estella, the private garden of the Marquis de Rogner's Palace, is famous for its four-season rose conservatory. Throughout the year, it is open to the public only during the summer social season, which starts with the opening ball on May 19 and ends on June 18, the end of the Midsummer Festival.
This season, the doors and windows of the conservatory are all open, and the roses inside are delicate. The curious students soon found the kind of rose that Duchamp ordered before, the name is "Warm", and the retail price is 185 meters a stick.
"There's a sumptuous buffet on the other side of the hall that you can pick up for free." Duchamp happily ran back to report.
"You know how to eat." Learmel glared at him.
"What are you doing if you don't eat, I can't dance, and I've seen the scenery here."
"What! You can't do ballroom dancing? Learmey yelled in a gaffe.
"Besides, Eric asked you to help me with aristocratic etiquette, in addition to making me ugly in front of my classmates a few times, what else did you do."
Learmey was speechless for a moment, but he quickly found a reason: "If you told me last night, I can teach you temporarily." ”
"No, I don't want to dance with boys, a genius like me can't learn it later. Besides, it's useless to learn, and the marquis's daughter won't dance with me. ”
On the upper floor of the Flower Hall, the windows are all open, and you can overlook the entire garden.
"It looks like it's been a lot of fun this year, who are all here?" An old woman in costume, sitting in the middle, asked with great interest.
"In Lulei City, everyone who is qualified to come is vying to hand over the name post, but in order to set off the atmosphere of tonight, I specially arranged the young people today, and the adult social field tomorrow, and there is no special restriction the day after tomorrow."
"In Lulei City, what kind of excellent boy can be worthy of Angelica." The old woman said dissatisfied. The five or six noble ladies sitting next to them came over, and you and I said a word, and they vied with each other to echo the old woman's words, and held the marquis's daughter to the sky.
A nobleman took the opportunity to come over and said:
"The Marquise is right, but there is a junior in my family who was admitted to the elite class of Lulei University of Technology this year, and I asked him to invite his classmates in their class to come over and join in the fun, and there are still a few of them with quite good family backgrounds."
"For people like us, family background is no longer important, the important thing is to be excellent. By the way, take a look at all the people who handed them their names. ”
The middle-aged woman sitting next to her, who was actually the current Marquise of Rogner, who was actually genuine, hurriedly gestured to the waiter.
After a while, the waiter brought up the list of names and gifts that had been handed over today.
The old woman didn't look at it either, and asked her daughter-in-law, "Who can be Angelica's dance partner?" ”
"It was expected to be the eldest son of the Ribbent family." As soon as the little marquise spoke, she saw the disgruntled look on the old lady's face.
"I don't want these local families to have any bad associations, do you have children from other families?"
"There are also a few characters in the group of classmates who have just been presented, Miss Percy's nephew."
As she spoke, the Marquise unfolded the list and read out the person she had taken a fancy to.
"Dietrie Kane."
As soon as she pronounced the name, the old woman interrupted her: "Huh? I don't like the Kane family very much. ”
The Marquise knew the old woman's preferences, and quickly read out the remaining two candidates:
"Eric Evans, Isaac Ottheim, the first one is the third son of Count Evans, and has no right of inheritance, and the latter one is the eldest son of Count Ottheim, and has the right of inheritance."
The old woman pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked, "How do these three children look?" ”
No one paid any attention to the question, and the women in the attic looked at each other.
Miss Percy volunteered to stand up and said, "I'll ask my nephew to inquire." ”
"Well, bothering you."
With the old woman's permission, Miss Percy hurried out of the flower hall to find Chris, and asked him to show her.
"The one in the orange-red hair and black dress is Dietrie Kane. Eric was at the fountain, gray-haired, dressed in a teal gown. Isaac was the tall, yellow-haired one over there in a white dress. ”
After identifying the three boys, Miss Percy asked again, "It is said that the daughter of Count Wen's family is also here, where is she?" ”
"It's the red-haired girl with the tallest head in the girls' pile, who wore a crimson dress today."
After identifying all the important people, Miss Percy went back to report.
"All three boys are good-looking, but the most handsome is Isaac Ottheim."
"Just a rich man in the countryside of the old capital." The little Marquise complained unceremoniously, frustrated that she had not been able to prepare a suitable dance partner for her precious daughter in advance.
"Since that kid from the Kane family isn't ugly yet, let's choose him, hurry up and tell him to prepare, call Angelica, call this girl from Earl Wen's family, and let them get to know each other." The old marquise spoke.
When the little marquise saw that her mother-in-law had changed her mind, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. In her heart, her precious daughter, and only a boy born as a prince and duke, is worthy.
When Dietrie heard the good news, he was overjoyed.
"It's that pendant that brought me good luck, and I must thank you when I look back." After leaving this sentence, he followed the waiter in high spirits.
The three abandoned friends said sourly and coolly in the back: "I heard that the marquis's daughter's fourteenth birthday has not yet arrived, and she still wants the old cow to eat tender grass." ”
The successive compliments received by the Marquise to-day, which made Miss Percy very happy, and the only thing she regretted was that her nephew, who had always regarded her as her own, seemed to be difficult to stand out in the midst of this group of classmates.
"I have to give Chrisra a good family business, and take this opportunity to see which celebrity in Lulei City is suitable." She was looking around among the ladies for the girl she liked, when suddenly, a figure flashed out from behind her and called out to her.
"Kassan!"
Miss Percy turned around, looking impatient: "Sir, why are you so elusive?" ”
The lord's face was full of solemn expressions.
"Byrne came to tell me that Ansest had come to Rure, but he didn't come to greet me. I saw it in advance. ”
"Are you crazy? That girl is now sitting next to the Marquise! Miss Percy shouted in fright.
