Chapter 016: First Meeting
At noon, the sun shines evenly over the smoke screen town, and everything is like a golden coat, glowing with light.
In front of the mayor's manor, a two-horse carriage was parked.
The groom sat there clutching the stiff rope and noticed a peerless beauty and a middle-aged man coming out of the gate of the manor.
He hurriedly stretched out his right hand to cover his chest to express his chest respect: "Your Excellency the Viscount, Miss." ”
"Well, you're going to go to Obel Street, you don't need to speed up, just follow the normal appearance." Owen commanded very calmly, and after speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a ray of essence flashed.
"I see, Your Excellency." The groom was an honest man, and he didn't think much about it when he heard the viscount's orders, so he naturally didn't realize that something was wrong in it. It was a commoner's residence, so how could a noble viscount go to what kind of place?
After Ivy and Owen got into the carriage, they sat down on the inside of the carriage, and soon felt some bumps in their seats, and there was a faint sound of rapid horse roaring outside.
"Ivy, I'm not allowed to be so naughty this time. Remember I don't like to be used that way, and if I do, maybe I'll never see each other in a fit of rage. Owen said lightly.
"I see, father." Ivy maintained an elegant posture and apologized to her father, but doubts appeared in her heart, did her father really have to change his values and attitudes? Why do you think something is wrong, after thinking about it carefully, Ivy can't get any effective results, so she can only stand still and wait and see.
Inside the red carriage, there is a low wooden red table with some drinks on it. It's just a snack or something.
Ivy leaned against the wall of the carriage and lifted a small curtain with her right hand, wearing white silk gloves. Seeing the scene outside rapidly retreating, it became extremely blurry. She knows it well. This road is the right direction to get to Obel Street, and the doubts that originally fell in my heart are even stronger.
Owen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, one hand on the other, slowly tugging the silver ring. The ring with a gilded inscription on the surface emitted a white mist, but it did not spread, but kept wrapping.
He closed his eyes and pretended to be resting, but he was thinking about how he would be able to gather useful information when he met Heidein and his so-called friends.
It's a mental statement, and Owen thinks he can handle it. After all, he's the mayor of a town.
…………
Aubel Street.
An intersection with a reddish bronze plaque standing in the middle, on which are written the four intersections ahead.
Whining......
A snow-white, family-emblazoned carriage stopped at the intersection.
Many of the surrounding civilians noticed that it was a noble carriage and talked about it there. After all, there are usually no nobles here who come to watch, and they also want to know who it is?
"You see which nobleman is the clan crest on it, I see that the carriage and the white horse in front of the leader look very good, do you know the situation?"
"I don't know much, hey. Do you know anyone? ”
"I seem to know the clan crest, I remember that the town mayor's clan crest is a silver nine-tailed scorpion, and now it is exactly the same as the one in my memory."
"When you say that, you mean there's the mayor in front of you. When did Mayor Mare's run here? I remember he would never have come to such a neighborhood, not even on Obel Street. ”
"That's right. Mayor Mare is notoriously picky, you can't be mistaken. ”
"How could I be mistaken, you underestimate my memory too much. That's right. Do you know that in the morning, Heidein's friends knocked down all the knights of the law enforcement guard. The shrews who led the disturbance all broke one of their legs, and I heard that they went completely insane when they returned home. I've been there all the time, talking nonsense about people in the tower, guns in hand, and stupid things like that I have in the world. ”
"You're right. Six alchemists, tsk, no wonder the mayor came in person. ”
"The snobbish mayor rushed over as soon as he heard that the other party was not easy to provoke."
"You don't want to die, if you talk like this, if you are heard by the other party, you will be imprisoned."
……
At the beginning of the intersection, there were about a dozen people standing, and gradually, there were more and more people, and it looked like there were forty or fifty people in the black. Among them were some rich family members wearing white shirts, black vests, and tall round hats on their heads. When they saw the leading carriage, they were ready to move, and wanted to go over and have a say with the mayor.
In the middle of the street.
In the silver-white carriage, Owen frowned, his face showed a little displeasure, one hand knocked on the seat, and said coldly: "Why don't you leave, is it no wonder that I am watched by the people around me like a monkey?" If you don't leave, I don't think this job is for people like you. ”
"I'm sorry, sir, I haven't been here, and I don't know where Heidein's house is." The coachman was so nervous that he couldn't even finish his words, fine beads of sweat kept appearing on his pale face, and his back was wet.
He was very helpless and felt that he was too tragic, right, the master didn't know where the specific address was, so let him find it? I've never even been to Obel Street, so how could I know?
Actually, Owen didn't care, thinking that the coachman would find it.
Ivy sat aside, silently observing Owen's words and expressions. Her expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and she suddenly found that her father's habit of manipulating human life had not changed, no matter what his words and deeds were, as if he could manipulate human life, and she couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart? I think this thing is full of strangeness.
Although she thought it was strange, she still raised her hand and said, "I know, go to the left road, and further on, you will see two roads ahead, and then follow the right road until you stop at a place where there are four trees next to the manor, where is our goal this time." ”
"Got it, miss, thank you so much." When the coachman heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. I thought that this good career would come to an end, but I would have thought that there would finally be a new turnaround, and at the same time, I decided to get more maps of Smokescreen Town in the future to prevent this from happening.
Woo......
The carriage ran forward, and gradually, the carriage sped into the avenue of Aubel.
Next to a gray manor, four green trees grow.
Suddenly, a carriage stopped.
He stopped at the door, not seeming to move forward or backward, which was enough to prove the skill of the groom in the carriage.
After the carriage stopped, the coachman wiped the sweat from his forehead as if he had experienced a great battle, and said with a little exhaustion: "We have now reached our destination, Lord Viscount, Miss, it is already possible to come down." ”
"Yes." Owen nodded his head and strode out of the carriage.
Ivy followed, also coming down.
When she saw the manor in front of her, and the layout inside, Ivy knew that she had arrived.
Squeak!
Suddenly, the snow-white wooden door in front of the manor opened.
"Ivy!" Heidein's voice trembled, her wide eyes grew rosy, and a line of tears slowly flowed down her cheeks to her neck.
"Heidein." Ivy was also not much better, like a lover who had not seen her for many years, she stepped forward and pounced on Hedein, leaned over and kissed between her, the four moist lips were close to each other, and you could clearly see through the gap between the lips that the remaining crystal liquid was pulling out a long line, so slender that it would break at any time.
The coachman stood aside, completely dumbfounded. Is this still Miss Ivy, who she considers a saint? Why does he look like this, but when he saw the familiar face of the other party, he more or less understood in his heart that the man was Heideyin. It's just that they're like this, how will Ivy's father feel when he sees it?
Click! Owen didn't expect his daughter to kiss each other when he came up, and his expression instantly turned gloomy, as if he could drip black water.
He clenched one hand so hard that the staff broke in an instant.
"Heideyin, I said you don't just stand at the door and know how to kiss your mouth, and let people in." At the white door, a man in his twenties, fair-skinned and delicate facial features slowly walked out.
The man's figure is very slender, and the muscle contours can be clearly seen, and he should have practiced some melee techniques, and he dragged a waist-length long linen hair behind his back, which added a little femininity to the man.
He chuckled a little, and at this time, his eyes were already attracted to the man behind him. This time, the law enforcement guards were planned by the man in front of them. To be honest, he feels that the other party is not simple, but unfortunately he is not simple.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm a little forgetful for a while." Hedein touched the back of her head, a little embarrassed.
At this time, he took Ivy's soft and white little hand and introduced it to Grant: "This is my favorite daughter Ivy." ”
"Well, yes, you two look like a good match. I think you should have dealt with this sooner, and it's not a good idea for everyone to drag it out. Grant smiled heartily.
"You're talking nonsense to this friend." Ivy blinked her eyes and feigned annoyance to express her dissatisfaction to Heydeyn.
"It's not me." Hedin put his hands up and said he had now said he was not lying.
"Ahem!"
Owen saw that the three people in front of him were ignoring him, and for a while he felt as uncomfortable as eating dog shit, but there were some words that he really couldn't say when he came to his mouth. After all, like this kind of thing, the other party's background is also not small.
Grant laughed as if he had just discovered Owen at this time, and even said with experience: "You are Ivy's father, I am so grateful to be able to raise Ivy so big." ”
"Hehe, what's the matter, I think we'd better go to the manor and talk about it. It's not a big deal to stand here anymore. ”
"I know too, so let's go."
Although Owen's words were polite, his face had changed from spring to winter, and even the smile that was pulled out of his mouth was fake.
He knew very well that the man in front of him didn't take himself seriously at all.
These are an insult to him, a great insult! (To be continued......)
