229. The target appears
Bang.
The door was closed by the attendant, and there were only three people in the room at this time: Luo Chen, the old duke, and the butler.
"You're doing a good job, your mother's temper isn't very good, and I hope you can restrain her a little like you do today."
It's not because she can now bring greater benefits to the eldest lady. Luo Chen muttered silently in his heart.
"Yes, grandfather, everything is for the sake of the family." Luo Chen kept a small face, tried his best to control the corners of his mouth, and made a pampered appearance.
The old duke nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go back and rest, you don't have to worry about the dress, I have ordered someone to rush to make it overnight, and it will be delivered to your room tomorrow morning, and you, tomorrow, only need to show the best side to welcome the guests, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”
"Yes, Grandfather, then I'll go back first, and you should rest early." Luo Chen glanced at the Duke worriedly and turned to leave.
The old butler bent down to help the Duke up and waited for him to return to his room to rest, "Young Master Rocky likes you very much. ”
"A child who has been neglected by his family for so long will always want to be recognized by his parents, and fortunately he discovered his talent at his age, otherwise it is uncertain whether he will be like this when he is a teenager." The old duke's hand holding the staff of civilization trembled a little, and he rested late today, and his body was obviously unable to bear it.
"The gods appear to bless the Plata family."
"Yes, it's a manifestation of the gods."
The luxuriously decorated hall, the abundant and delicious food, the beautiful piano sound of the musicians and the elegant dancing of the aristocratic boys and girls constitute this luxurious and extravagant banquet.
No one here thinks about the suffering refugees in the war-torn areas, nor about the civilians who starved to death at home, they only care about whether they are the center of attention for the banquet they attended yesterday, whether the jewelry they wear today is more expensive and beautiful than others, and whether they will receive an invitation from that nobleman tomorrow.
Luo Chen smiled stiffly and followed the duke's side to entertain, she had been receiving guests since she had breakfast in the morning until the bright moon was hanging high, but outsiders found a few more, but they still didn't wait for the arrival of the lord of Fanard Ridge.
"Lord Duke."
The old butler hurried from a distance, whispered a few words to the duke, and then received a reply before leaving.
The duke looked at the housekeeper who was going away, and suddenly reached out and patted the top of Luo Chen's head and said, "Take you to meet someone, you have to remember that your surname is Plata." ”
The sentence without a beginning or end made Luo Chen have a flash of inspiration, and roughly guessed something, she didn't ask more, just nodded silently, and followed the Duke's footsteps.
The two walked through the crowd to a slightly quiet seat, and the moment they saw the person on the sofa, Luo Chen's eyebrows were half lowered, and he hid the light in his eyes.
Sure enough, I saw a long list of blood-red names hanging above the man's head, Carl Gustav Werner von Helut.
The long red shawl hair was neatly tied behind his ears, the corners of his mouth drooped down to give him an unremarkable appearance with endless indifference, and with those eyes as sharp as eagles, it seemed as if everyone was his prey.
No, it's not as if, everyone is just lambs to the slaughter in his eyes, because after getting closer, the familiar dark aura on his body made Luo Chen feel sick to his stomach from the bottom of his heart, he is definitely a person from the Dark Temple, and his status is not low.
Once again, she confirmed that all the quests in this quest were about the Dark Temple!
"It's been a long time since I've seen Lord Fanard Ridge."
The old duke saluted respectfully, then pushed Luo Chen behind him forward, and said, "This is my best grandson, Rocky Mitt Plata, Rocky." ”
"Lord Ling, it's an honor to meet you." Luo Chen bowed slightly excitedly, his little face flushed.
The Lord of Fanard Ridge nodded to Duke Plata with a cold face and looked down at Luo Chen, he looked at Luo Chen from above, and said stiffly, "You are fine." And there was no more to it.
The old duke's facial muscles twitched a little, but he still tried to maintain a smile and said, "It's true that Lord Ling can come to the banquet this time."
"You can go."
The Lord of Fanard Ridge stared at Luo Chen's gaze and did not leave, but suddenly said such a sentence.
Although the words were suddenly interrupted, the old duke frowned slightly, but he still said to Luo Chen, "You go back first." ”
Luo Chen was still thinking about how to start, but after hearing the duke's words, he still hesitated for a moment, nodded and got up to leave.
"Sit down."
The Lord of Fanard Ridge looked at the old duke and said, "You can go." ”
The duke's hand holding the staff of civilization tightened slightly, and he barely maintained a smile and said, "I wish Lord Ling Lord a good time." After finishing speaking, he patted Luo Chen's head vigorously before turning to leave.
The Lord of Fanard Ridge watched Duke Plata walk away before he looked at Luo Chen again, his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to see through Luo Chen's small body.
Luo Chen shrunk his shoulders and rubbed his toes, trying to make himself look restrained and shy.
"How far can you go?"
Although what Lord Fanard said was a question, there was a sense of command in his tone that could not be questioned.
"What did you say?"
Luo Chen's eyes looked at the man in front of her in confusion, she really didn't know what this person was talking about.
The Lord of Fanard Ridge frowned slightly and glanced at the cup on the table.
Luo Chen also set his eyes on the cup, only to see that in just a dozen seconds, the cup suddenly moved to the side.
The Lord of Fanard Ridge looked at the child in front of him with a look of surprise, his body shrunk with some nervousness, and he said, "What step can you go?" ”
"I, I" Luo Chen's eyes dodged and looked left and right, as if he was looking for an opportunity to escape.
The Farnard Ridge Lord's brow furrowed closer, he hadn't dealt with children for a long time, it was really troublesome. "You are the same as me, this is a gift from the gods, don't you want to hide it, I can feel it."
"Is this really a gift from the gods? I always thought I was a monster because no one else did. Luo Chen looked at the Lord of Fanard Ridge with bright eyes, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.
"That's right, it's a gift from the gods, and you're so good, you got this ability at such a young age, you have to be proud of yourself, now tell me, how far you can go."
Lord Fanard looked at the attendant behind him and tapped on the table, and the attendant walked out in understanding.
Luo Chen stared at the cup on the table, trying to hold back his sweat and pale, and finally when the attendant came back with a glass of water, the cup on the table finally moved a little to the side.
Seeing this scene, the Lord of Fanard Ridge looked slightly warm, nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up the cup handed over by the attendant, he was a little thirsty after saying so many words just now.
