Chapter 102: Purpose

"Is Ella ...... me?"

Jin Cheng frowned and thought about it, he didn't come up with a reason for a long time, but Old Lynch had already come over to inform him that there was a nobleman who needed Jin Cheng to entertain.

"Count Andrei? Count André of the Barrett family? He came in person? Jin Cheng hurriedly tidied up his clothes and followed Old Lynch to another reception room.

The ancestor of the Barrett family is a general under the command of the Bauhinia King, this surname has been rooted in the ancient capital since the establishment of the Augustus Empire, although the limelight is not as popular as the current obsidian and archdukes, but it is a real old obsidian aristocrat.

As the fourth in line to the throne of Duke Barrett, André never gave up the competition, so he has been running his own power, earning himself an honorary earl title, which is quite famous.

Whether from the perspective of Duke Barrett's heir or his own power, Andre's status is far more noble than that of Count Prohey, and it is a bit unexpected that he will personally visit the four islands.

Soon Jin Cheng met the Count Andrei, who had a beautiful beard, and he was very enthusiastic when he saw Jin Cheng, and hurriedly performed a noble etiquette: "You must be the secret mage Jin, right?" It's such a pleasure to meet you, I've heard of you, you're a student of Archmage Joshuael, or a seat at the Blue Tower's long table! ”

"Don't worry about these statuses, Count André, I am receiving you as an advisor to Count Prohey." Kaneshiro said with a smile, not bothering to explain the difference between a usherer and a teacher in the arcane mage tradition.

A hearty conversation lasted for half an hour, and Jincheng and Andre talked from Prohai to the ancient capital, and from the ancient capital back to Prohai, talking all about some boundless gossip. Count André wanted to say something, but for some reason, he didn't mention it until the end of the reception.

For a self-motivated nobleman like Andre, a mystic mage like Kaneshiro, who represents both Joshuel and the Blue Tower, is undoubtedly the most worthy of befriending. In fact, now Jincheng, his identity is more prominent than Earl Prohai of Ella.

"Doesn't Count Prosea have time to see me?" Andrei asked as he left.

"Count Andrew, the affairs of Prosea are too busy right now, and the Earl really can't spare time. But rest assured, the Earl will be present at tonight's banquet. Jin Cheng said politely.

"Okay." Andrei left somewhat disappointed.

Jin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, these nobles are really outstanding in their ability to talk about the world, fortunately, he was also a top person in his previous life, and his insights and insights were not bad, so he was able to deal with Andre.

Before Jin Cheng could drink saliva and rest, Old Lynch welcomed a nobleman into the living room, and Jin Cheng couldn't help but look pale after seeing the person coming.

"Suhid!"

"Long time no see, my friend." Su Xide smiled and opened his arms, making a gesture to hug Jin Cheng, but was coldly blocked by Jin Cheng.

"Kim, don't you treat me as a friend?" Su Xide said with a sad face, "I am now the most important partner of Prohey!" ”

"The Jarvis family is a friend of Prohai, but you are not my friend." Jin Cheng snorted coldly, "Say, if you have something, I will convey it to Ella." ”

"I've been in Sidao for more than half a month, and I've already negotiated anything else." Suhid shrugged his shoulders, "I heard that you came back from the Golden Sea Plane, so I came to see you." ”

"Count Prohay, it seems, has a high status in your mind?"

"Just returned from her realm, and immediately began to receive difficult guests for her again?"

"I promised Archmage Joshuel to help Ella, that's my promise. In addition, Count André is not difficult to deal with. I'd rather have a few words to Count André than you. Jin Cheng said politely.

"Kim, I suddenly found ......," Suhid said with a squint and a smile, "you seem to be very impatient with me?" ”

"Yes, I have no intention of hiding my rejection of you at all." Jin Cheng picked up the cup very rudely and said while drinking water.

"Do you know what that means?"

"What does it mean?"

"Our meeting actually represents Jarvis and Prohey, which should be extremely solemn. But you don't act like a nobleman at all, and you don't ......have any etiquette at all," Su Xide shook his head and said, and finally looked at Jin Cheng Dao, "This shows that you don't think of me as the cold-blooded Su Xid who represents the Yalvis family." ”

"You've treated me like a friend!"

Jin Cheng didn't squirt the water out of his mouth, he wiped his mouth angrily, and roared: "I don't treat you as a friend, if you don't have anything else to do, then you can leave now, and I will still receive guests for Ella!" ”

Su Xide didn't care, he sat down on the chair by himself, took a few small fruits and ate them, and said: "You don't want to meet those guests, their purpose is the same as Andre's." ”

"The purpose? What purpose? Jin Cheng frowned, he didn't find out Andre's intention just now.

With such a prominent status as Andrei, if he simply wants to form a little friendship with Prohey, it is enough to send a representative over, and there is no need to come from the ancient capital in person.

He really should have some purpose.

"Don't you know?" Suhid looked at Jincheng suspiciously.

"If you want to say it, say it, if you don't want to say it, get out." Kaneshiro snorted.

"Okay, okay, I said." Su Xide laughed and said, "There are more than ten groups of people who came to the four islands with this purpose. ”

"But I think there are only three of them who are the most promising. Andre, Morton, and Archduke Locan. ”

"Andre, you've seen him, he's the fourth in line to the Duke of Barrett, and he's very competitive."

"Morton, do you know each other? He was the nephew of Opatra, and his father was the eldest son of Duke Creo, who unfortunately had been dead for many years. His family heirs are not as prime as his uncles, and even if Opatra supports him, he may not be able to win. ”

"And Archduke Lorcan, who is the brother of the current Emperor Augustus, and he is preparing to put his sons in the selection of the next Augustus throne."

"Stop talking nonsense, get to the point." Jin Cheng urged.

"That's the point, haven't you found it yet? These people are all competing for titles, and they all need to gather more forces to help them. Suhid laughed.

"Suhid, that's what you're trying to say?" With contempt in his eyes, Kaneshiro sneered, "Is it because your position in the Yalvis family is too secure, so you don't know the traditions of the other nobles?" ”

"Whether it's Barrett, Clio, or the Bauhinia royal family, their strength is extremely strong, do you think they will let outsiders get involved in the heir's affairs?"

"Kim, it's you who don't understand aristocratic traditions." Su Xid smiled, "Although Prohey's future is bright, but the current strength is still too weak, and a few words from Count Prohai will not have the slightest impact on their heir's decision." ”

"But...... What if it's the whole of Prosea? ”

"If any of them can incorporate Prohai into their own family, it will immediately affect the choice of heir!"

Jin Cheng's face changed suddenly, gloomy anger appeared in his eyes, and a sentence squeezed out from between his teeth: "They want to marry!" ”
