Chapter 089: Count Thorn Rose
Xi Xue already has some understanding of the world of Wang Xingren.
For example, in their social system, only the real aristocracy, the nobility of the nobility, has a "surname". More than 99 percent of the people have names but no surnames, such as Benian, Gwengon, Jacques and so on, which Xi met and so on. Even Gillien, who was also a nobleman, was not entitled to a surname, because he was so low that people called him only "Gillien of Hafata".
A surname represents a family with a long history and a story. At the same time, a "surname" is also the supreme glory and pride of all family members, and even the servants belonging to the family.
Take Hetler, for example. She is the faithful maid of the Adfu family, and when she is external, she can call herself "Hetler of the Adfu family", even if it is a kind of pride, she is also promoting the name of Adfu.
And anyone who is disrespectful to a family's surname, even if he says "I haven't heard of this surname", will be on the family's must-kill death list. Therefore, even if Xi Xue had never heard of the surname "Adfu" at all, he would not say anything more about it.
Prior to this, the only surname Xi had been in contact with was the name of the lord of the county of Weilun: Bourbon-Weilun.
With an interpreter, communication is much easier. Through Hetler's mouth, Xi Xue introduced himself to the beautiful Wang Xingren, and pulled out the previous fabricated life experience and experience to explain their existence: from the distant Eastern Tang Dynasty...... Oh, no, I came to explore the eastern land, but I was attacked by monsters during the journey, and I was separated from my companions, and I was looking for my companions.
Obviously, such a statement is not entirely convincing to the listener. For example, in the process of Xi Xue's telling, the strongest and most handsome golden-armored guard looked at them with a sneer. Fortunately, the stunningly beautiful Wang Xingren seemed to accept Xi Ze's words, and when Xi Xue finished speaking, he said: "So that's the case."
When she said this, she also quickly skimmed Xi Xue's head and lower body, as if to say, "No wonder you don't have tails and ears." After Xi Xue finished speaking, the beautiful Wang Xingren shook her red tail behind her hips, laughed and died, and said, "I'm Wei Lijia of the Adfu family!" Nice to meet you, and you guys. Please allow me to express my heartfelt gratitude to you: thank you! ”
Saying that, she crossed her hands and folded her wrists, pressed them on her chest and bowed slightly, which was obviously a rather solemn gift of thanks, and after getting up, Wei Lijia said: "If you hadn't shown up and sent that gangster to the empty god to repent, maybe I would have listened to her teachings from the empty god by now." It's an honor, but I have more important things to do for the time being, so I don't want to see her yet. ”
is not only beautiful, but also elegant and modest, without the pretentiousness and arrogance of a wealthy woman, Xi Ze and others have a straight line of favor towards her. Qiu Xin even leaned into Zhao Qiankun's ear and said: "Obediently, I feel like I was shot by Yue Lao." Zhao Qiankun glanced at him with disdain, "It's rare and weird." Also, you're talking about Cupid, right? ”
"Don't care about these details, okay?"
Everyone has a love for beauty. It was Wu Taichen's eyes that flickered a little when he looked at Wei Lijia.
Xi Xue replied in a friendly and polite manner, and Yang Xue asked Xi Xue to ask when the other party could leave and if he could return their weapons and equipment to them. Of course, this is also Xi Xue's concern, so he asked Hetler to translate it to Wei Lijia. Wei Lijia's silky brow furrowed, and she shook her head and said, "You can't leave yet." ”
Xi Xue frowned and said, "Why? ”
Viliga smiled, "The Adfu family will not spare any enemy. We won't let go of any of our guests easily. Words of gratitude are far from enough to express my gratitude to you. So please stay and the generosity and warmth of the Adfu family will not disappoint you. ”
When Xi Xue heard this, he was about to refuse, and Wei Lijia said again: "Especially you! You're so badly wounded that even Archpastor Avor says you're no longer good. It's a blessing for you to wake up. But I'm not at ease yet, so I'm going to ask the high priest to come and show you again. Didn't you say you were looking for a lost partner? You can rest assured about this, the Adfu family has many friends, and I will ask them to help you find it, so you just need to wait for the good news with me. ”
Xi Ze listened to Hetler's translation and was overjoyed. It can be seen that the Adfu family is extremely powerful and connected, and if they help find Xu Jiaojiao and them, it is much more reliable than their blind search-and isn't this one of the motives for them to decide to help in the first place? Xi Xue and Yang Xue exchanged views.
Yang Xue said: "Xi Xue you have just woken up, it is best to cultivate for a few days, since she has promised to help us find Xu Jiaojiao and them, we might as well stay here for a few more days." ”
"Hmm!" Xi Ze did feel that he was still very weak, so he said to Wei Lijia: "Then I will disturb you." ”
Verica smiled slightly, and then said to Heitler: "You will entertain the distinguished guests of our Adf family in my place, and bring them to acquaint themselves with my castle. I'll go and ask the chef to prepare a hearty lunch. It just so happens that our brave and fearless Knight of Quint ......" she glanced at the lonely and proud Garanro-level powerhouse, "I hunted a fifth-level snowflake beast not long ago, and the flesh like a snowflake was paired with the finest cuttlefish caviar of the Adefu family's chefs, I promise you'll enjoy it." ”
Under the leadership of Hetler, Xi Ze and others left this bright and luxurious room, and under her guidance, they officially visited the castle of the Adf family.
"Hey! Xi Xue, that beautiful girl named Wei Lijia seems to be interesting to you! Qiu Xin bumped Xi Ze's shoulder, and there was a sour smell when he heard it. Xi Xue was communicating with Heitler and asked him to teach him the language of Wang Xingren, and after listening to Qiu Xin's words, he said casually: "Yes, yes, yes." The hero saves the beauty, and then the beauty falls in love, and finally promises to each other. Do you want to say this? ”
Qiu Xin said: "Isn't it? You didn't see it just now, she only had you in her eyes, and we were like air. Do you say no? One of the twins said, "Don't you look at you, little brother?" Qiu Xin covered his face, "Hey, I was hit by 10,000 critical hits!" Then his face turned grim, "Xi Xue, you take that slave's words and probe into the bottom of this Adfu family." ”
Xi Ze nodded.
Here Xi Xue was about to find out about the Adfu family, and in the previous room, Viliga picked up the fruit knife on the table and put it in the place where it should be, that is, the fruit pot. Of course, she guessed that the "life-saving benefactor" named Xi Xue just now was hiding this fruit knife, which was really interesting, did she want to use a fruit knife to break out of the door of Adfu's house?
Quint, Viliga's sidekick, waved off the other guards before saying to Viliga, "Lord Earl, it has now been confirmed that those strange people are the culprits responsible for the killing of [Turtle Vulture]. [Turtle Vulture] is a puppet specially cultivated by Count Wei Lun to disguise himself as a messenger of the Void God and use it to stabilize his rule. Even the cardinals of the [Empty Temple] turned a blind eye. We take in those weirdos, and I'm afraid it will displease Count Weilun. ”
Wei Lijia's index finger carved like jade pointed on the table, and said with a faint smile: "He dared to send someone to assassinate me, do I Adefu Wei Lijia still care whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied?" As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, the youngest countess of the "Holy Glass Empire", known as the "Thorn Rose", showed her pride as the third heir of the Adfu family.
The sunlight shining through the window fell on her.
Knight Quint said, "My lord, we have no evidence......"
"No evidence is needed. I said it's him, it's him, it's not. Now that I'm in the county of Weilun, I'll tell you straight: I didn't plan to work with that bald old pervert from the beginning. So, you have a lot of work on your shoulders. ”
Knight Quint's handsome face changed color slightly.
"If you don't visit the dragon's lair, you won't get the most brilliant orb!"
Quint knew that what Viliga was saying was a quote from the classic book "The Lord of the Rings". So, what is the "jewel" in the eyes of this earl?
Verriga looked at Quint and said, "This time I only brought you a sidekick. Sure enough, there was still some adventure. Thankfully, however, the Empty God seems to have taken a special favor to me, and has sent another knight to save me. ”
Quint fell to one knee in fear.
Wei Lijia glanced at him and said, "Get up." I don't mean to blame you. You've done a great job. Of course, if it can be better, it will be better. ”
Quint stood up, hesitated, and then said, "Lord Earl, with all due respect, although those strange people did help us in times of crisis, after all, their origin is unknown, and it can even be said that they are people of another race entirely, we don't know what purpose they came to our territory, but we should be wary of them. Although their own strength is weak, the weapons they carry are enough to inflict damage on a Garanro-level powerhouse. Especially the person named Xi Xue, his ability is very weird. ”
Wei Lijia said: "That's why I want to keep them, don't you think it's better than letting them out, letting Wei Lun's people arrest them, and leaving them in the castle of my Adfu family?" And...... I love that habit! His glass-like fist not only killed the damn assassin, but it hit me in the heart. ”
Recalling the posture of Xi Xue that day, and the dreamy scene of the glass fist shattered into thousands of pieces, Wei Lijia smiled picturesquely. She has seen many people who are stronger than Xi Ze, and there are many people who are better than him, but what can make her heart move - even if it is just that moment's heartbeat, it is only Xi Ze. It's a good feeling.
"Shakespeare said: When you see him, you know that it is him!" Wei Lijia picked up the fruit that Xi Xue had bitten into, and took another bite on it, "Hmm." Maybe it's him! Oh, by the way, don't forget to tell you to go down and look for someone who doesn't have a tail or ears. With that, she left the room, her brisk steps as if she were stepping on a dance.
"Yes, Lord Earl......"
Quint looked up, his face gloomy and gloomy with the sun on his back.
When it was time for lunch, in the garden of the castle's terrace, a long dining table was filled with colorful food, some very delicate, some very coarse, but it was undeniable that each dish was very delicious. In particular, the pork belly dipping sauce that Wei Lijia solemnly recommended makes people swallow their tongues in their stomachs. There is also a rainbow of amber drinks, which are like a dream when you drink them in one sip. According to Wei Lijia's introduction, this drink is a concentrated juice of seven kinds of fruits, brewed through a secret method, all the flavors are separated from each other before the entrance, and the color is not melted, like a rainbow, once the taste of the mouth melts in the mouth, it stimulates the taste buds in turn, and changes out of different wonderful tastes.
Everyone was open to enjoy.
But just as everyone was hugging each other for a wonderful lunch, an old man who looked like a butler hurried to Vilia's side and whispered something in her ear, and then she stood up and said, "What a rudeness." There are some things that need to be dealt with in time, so please continue to enjoy them. Heitler, be sure to give our valued guests the most intimate service, you know? ”
After speaking, she nodded to Xi Xue on the left, and left with the accompanying knight.
Xi Ze noticed that the rider glanced at him the moment he turned. At this moment, Xi Xue vaguely felt a murderous intention, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
