Chapter 1242: An Invitation
"Alfie, where have you been? I've been looking for you all morning!" Sean hugged Alfie, who had returned from Elwin's lab, and spoke incoherently with excitement.
"You stay away from me~ I don't have that special fetish!" Alfie stretched out his arm and pushed Sean, who was hanging on top of him like a koala, as far away as he could, and he couldn't get used to Sean's sudden enthusiasm.
"I'm sorry, I'm really, really, so excited!" Sean said as Elfie let him go, blushing and stammering.
"What's wrong with you today?ββ forget it, I'll ask the others. Alfi Sean had an expression of excitement that was about to faint, and he knew not to expect him to speak well, so he turned his head to Killian, who was watching the show, and asked, "Did this guy steal some abnormal potion? Why is it weird today?"
Killian couldn't hide his jealousy, picked up a mediocre invitation from the table and threw it over: "You'll know for yourself." β
"Killian, how can you be so disrespectful to this invitation?" Seeing Killian treat that invitation like this, Sean rarely forgot the identity gap between the two and glared at Killian.
"Cut~ Isn't it just an invitation? Even if the person who sent the invitation is standing here, it won't make me change my attitude in any way. Killian said with his nostrils turned upward. Alfie knew at a glance that this was a sign of his weak heart.
It was a very ordinary invitation, so simple that it was even just an ordinary blank paper, but Alfie smelled a strange scent of potions from it.
Elfie's heart suddenly moved, and she remembered Rouspil, who had been on his toes at the Council of Light in the morning, could it be ...... Alfie skimmed over the contents of the invitation and looked directly at the sign, and sure enough, the name "Madison" was written in his familiar handwriting. Master Madison is back, once again in the imperial capital where he has been absent for a long time.
It was an invitation from Master Madison to invite Alfie to a dinner in the evening, so it was no wonder Sean was so excited.
"Have you all seen this invitation?" Alfie asked, shaking the invitation in her hand.
Killian looked at him like an idiot, did he still need to ask such a stupid question?
"Is there something wrong?" Tyror saw that Alfie's true intention was not to question that they had seen the invitation, but to have something else.
"It's a good thing that Master Madison is back in the Imperial Capital, and I've heard about it for a long time, but why did he invite me to a banquet not at the Royal Apothecary Society, but at the Imperial Military Department?" Alfie asked, pointing to the location of the invitation.
"I heard that Master Madison ran away in anger after falling out with the Royal Apothecary Society, maybe it has something to do with this?" Killian seemed to have thought about it for a long time.
"How long has it been since Master Madison left the Imperial Capital?" Alfie asked.
"More than ten years, right?Soon after the cataclysm, Master Madison left the imperial capital, and he has not been seen since, until not long ago, when he advanced to the Holy Land, he sensed the coercion emitted by his promotion, and everyone found out that he was living in seclusion on the snowy plains of Greenland. "Killian has done his homework so well that he has memorized such secret information in advance.
"Master Madison has been away from the Imperial Capital for so long, and no matter how deep the conflict with the Royal Apothecary Guild is, it should have been resolved a lot, right? Especially in the current situation, the Royal Apothecary Guild has not had a Sacred Domain in charge, and it is no longer enough to see the major forces in the Imperial Capital. Hearing the news of Master Madison's return, they should have pulled Master Madison to their side anyway, how could they let the Imperial Military Department take the lead?" Alfie analyzed, but in his heart he was glad for Master Madison.
Alfie said that this was just to see how detailed the various forces in the imperial capital were about Master Madison's information during this time. It seems that the information that Master Madison and Camp Calus behind the Wall of Sighs had been carefully concealed, otherwise the intelligence network of the House of Eiselieu would not have known that he was living in seclusion in the snowy plains.
In a place like the Imperial Capital, there are no secrets at all, and the Richelieu family's intelligence network does not have Master Madison's intelligence in Camp Calus, which is enough to prove that other forces have also not received relevant information. If he knew that Master Madison had been hanging out with the thieves who had caused great trouble to the Empire, he would never have treated Master Madison so politely with the character of Rey III.
"How do I know? Don't you claim to know Master Madison well? Don't you know when you see him at night?" said Killian with a sneer, feeling that he had not seen him in the morning, and that Alfie's IQ seemed to have dropped a lot, and that he was skeptical that Alfie's relationship with Master Madison was really that ironβin fact it was Killian's petty jealousy.
"That's nature. The fact that Master Madison sent me this invitation as soon as he returned was a testament to the weight I had in his heart. Alfie shook the invitation in his hand triumphantly, and he understood where Killian's jealousy was coming from.
"Humph!" Killian's mouth was about to reach the back of his head. As soon as this invitation arrived, he immediately contacted the old prime minister, and the reply he received was that the prime minister's office had not received the invitation from Master Madison, which made Killian feel cold. Looking at the entire imperial capital, except for the royal family, the Richelieu family can be said to be one of the best existences, and they did not receive an invitation from Master Madison!
"Killian, I think you should first inquire how many people in the entire Imperial Capital have received invitations from Master Madison. Seeing Killian get into the horns, Alfie reminded.
"What do you mean......" Killian snapped back.
"If I'm not mistaken, there will never be more than ten people in the entire imperial capital who have received Master Madison's invitation. I'm guessing it's just a private banquet hosted by Madison, not the grand banquet that announces his return as you might imagine. Alfie implicitly pointed out that Killian was in a blind spot.
"Hmph, I'll find out when I ask. After Killian finished speaking, he couldn't wait to run out, he actually believed eighty or ninety percent, and he just said that he was just finding a staircase for himself.
"Elfie, how did you come to this conclusion?" asked Tyrol humbly.
"It's simple. If it was a formal banquet, Master Madison would never have taken a blank piece of paper as an invitation so hastily, it would have been regarded as a naked, naked provocation, and only those who knew it well would be so informal. "Alfie had already checked that it was just an ordinary blank sheet of paper.
"Perhaps Master Madison, an outsider like him, is this kind of indifferent fame and fortune character. Sean said with a roar.
Alfie glanced at Sean sympathetically, there was no doubt that this was another blind idolatrous guy. The Master Madison he knew not only had nothing to do with fame and fortune, but could even be said to be an old guy who paid great attention to fame and fortune.
"If Master Madison is still living in seclusion in the snowy plains, maybe it's okay to do so. But since he chooses to return to the imperial capital, he will definitely follow the unspoken rules of the imperial capital, otherwise he will definitely die a miserable death!" said Alfie meaningfully patting Sean's shoulder, who was full of confusion.
