Chapter 074: The Banquet Begins
Following.
When the night sky sprinkled a hazy white moonlight, shining on the entire Hanmo Castle, revealing a misty beauty.
In the castle room, there was a black dress worn by Grant's bed, the black and white dress was obviously made according to Grant's physique, when Grant wore this dress, he felt the unexpected fit of this dress, clinging to the surface of his body, invisibly supporting his slender figure.
Since Grant's upgrade, his physique and figure have quietly changed, becoming more and more well-proportioned and toned.
By the silver shining mirror, Grant saw a strange smile on his not handsome face in the mirror, and the temperament exuded from his whole body was different from the past, he knew that because of the growth of mental power, his body was changing all the time, making himself only two months ago look like two people compared to now.
"This is good, it's really much better than before, it's stinky and beautiful enough, let's go down to the party." Grant's mood was much better, and after he put the two magic books placed on his desk back into the storage space, he could see the outside view through the gray window.
Under the silver night sky, a glimmer of beautiful lights flickered, from the gate of the castle, on both sides of a gray stone road, lit oil lamp posts were lined up, and more than a dozen carriages made of luxurious materials drove in along the stone road, unhurriedly.
On the emerald green lawn outside the castle hall, there were already a dozen ladies in beautiful long dresses, who had stepped into the hall with their long skirts, and some small groups chatted happily on the lawn.
"There are already quite a few people here, I should be able to go down." When Grant noticed that everyone was about the same, he prepared to go down.
Suddenly, he noticed that a gaze seemed to have found him. Grant looked down to the right of the lawn, and a lady in a long skirt wearing a small brown round hat stepped down from a silver carriage. She wore pearl stud earrings in both ears and long white gloves on her hands, reaching to her elbows.
She raised her head to Grant suspiciously, and in the face of this puzzled gaze, Grant could only smile awkwardly and then retracted his head. This kind of inexplicable gaze made him feel weird.
"Bang! Bang! ”
Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, not loud but as if it could knock on a person's heart.
"Lord Grant, the party is about to begin. If you have some free time now, you can go below. The old butler said hoarsely.
Hearing the sound, Grande opened the door and followed the old butler downstairs.
Walking all the way in the corridor, on the gray stone brick wall, two oil lamps flickered with fireworks, Grant suddenly noticed that the old butler's eyes were a little surprised, and couldn't help but ask him curiously, "Is there anything on my face?" I've always been like this. ”
In the face of Grant's questioning, the old butler's old and dry face squeezed out a stiff smile: "No, it's just that the feeling you give me in this dress is a little more mysterious, and I always feel as if you can attract attention." ”
Grant smiled silently, he understood that this was just the impact of his mage apprenticeship on ordinary people. For reasons that he was a little unaccustomed to the gaze of others, Grant deliberately gathered some of the spiritual power that he usually exuded.
The two of them walked down the stairs from the corridor on the second floor to the hall one after the other, maybe because after Grant withdrew his mental power, or maybe everyone was not familiar with him and didn't have much eyes on him, but he didn't care.
In his golden hall, the little nobles or wealthy merchants in luxurious long dresses and beautiful robes gathered in groups of small and small chatters. The most conspicuous of them all, the lady in the yarmulke hat, was smiling with the man across from her mouth with her hands over her small crystalline mouth.
Feeling Grant's gaze, she stopped paying attention after being curious.
In the corner of the sofa on the right side of the hall, four or five small nobles, who were obviously unpopular or of low status, sat sparsely, drinking the small wine in their hands.
Some maiden attendants are wearing flowers and butterflies to deliver food and drinks, as well as adding drinks to passing guests at any time. There were also some ordinary guests who stopped some good-looking maids and laughed.
Grant looked at the noisy environment, he didn't like it too much, because apart from the emir and the scavenger, he didn't know the rest of the city, and in fact, there was no need for that. He'd been preparing for some time before heading to the north, and Lillian was still waiting for him to be reincarnated as a human.
A short walk to the corner of the sofa, there was a small round table and a few empty white chairs. Grant walked over and sat down in a random chair.
This position was right next to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, and the jade-colored white moonlight poured in, just enveloping Grant's lower body. In the contrast of light and dark, his upper body was faintly dark and inconspicuous.
He gently took a glass of red wine from the round table, felt a rich aroma, and then sat there with a gentle sip, he was not in a hurry to wait.
In the corner, a young figure noticed that Grant was drinking, and he also walked over, it was a young man with silver hair and purple eyes, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and an unusually handsome face. After pursing his lips and showing a bright smile, he reached Grant's face, and he smiled friendly, "It's the first time I've seen you at a banquet?" ”
The silver-haired purple-eyed one is called Field, and he is the son of Green, one of the ordinary knights. When he saw this new young man, he couldn't help but be a little curious. After all, Wanghuo City is only a town of 30,000 people, and everyone knows that the upper-class people are very clear, and this newcomer thinks that the other party may be a newly promoted rich businessman, and he can't help but build a friendly friendship in the hope of getting some extra gold income.
"Hehe, hello. I'm Grant. After Grant was slightly stunned, he exchanged a few words with the other party, but he could detect that the other party was chatting with him, always with a certain purpose.
After a brief chat, Grant didn't reveal much about himself, just chatted a few words.
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the entire hall.
"That's Lord Scavenger of the Mage Tower, I didn't expect him to arrive so early,"
"It's so fast, sure enough, Miss Emir's coming-of-age ceremony is very important this time, even His Excellency the Mage, who likes to study the most, arrived early."
Following everyone's exclamations, Field and Grant also walked to the stage in the hall, where a burst of blue flames suddenly ignited, and a kind old man in a white robe came out, and after scanning the circle with golden blue eyes, he also noticed that Grant was sitting in the corner, and couldn't help but walk over.
As the top level of the entire Wanghuo City, the scavenger attracted a lot of attention at every step, and his unstoppable movements made some ordinary knights who originally wanted to look forward to friendship can't help but slow down, and slowly walked towards the corner towards the scavenger in unison, they didn't know what was going on, but they understood that the scavenger was slowly walking there.
"Apprentice Grant, I didn't expect you to arrive earlier than me." The scavenger quickly walked in front of Grant.
Grant put down the wine glass, raised his head and looked at the scavenger's full smile, knowing that the other party was in a good mood, perhaps having unveiled his own voodoo curse, and couldn't help but smile the same: "I just arrived a little earlier, Your Excellency Scavenger, I should have recovered safely, I need to congratulate you in advance." ”
"The magic materials given by your mentor are really good, and the effect is quite good. If you have time, please thank your mentor for me. ”
"It's just a gesture." Grant chatted happily with the scavenger, and the trade of mutant creatures made the Qingdao club's attitude towards Grant even better, and these attitudes temporarily made Grant understand that the other party would not do anything harmful to him.
Field sat there, looking at Grant with puzzled and surprised eyes. He didn't understand who Grant was, and he could communicate with the scavenger mage on such an equal footing, which was completely beyond his expectations, you must know that his father was extremely respectful in the face of the official mage, and he was able to do this, except for the baron, there was really no one else.
The rest of the hall was equally surprised, it was the first time they had seen the scavenger talking to a young man who didn't seem to be very old, and they couldn't help but wonder who the person in front of them was.
After a brief chat, Grant also knew that Emir had successfully broken through to a second-level mage apprentice, which made him feel happy for Emir.
"Buzz~~Buzz~~"
Suddenly, the dark red feather coat of arms inlaid on the chest of the scavenger's robe emitted a faint light, and after feeling this red light, the Qingdao Society apologized and said, "Come and wait for me outside the door, I'll go out first, you can eat something here slowly." ”
"Yes." Grande nodded.
The departure of the Qingdao Society made everyone interested in communicating with Grant. In the crowd, there was one man who walked faster than the others, and he was followed by two blue teenagers.
