Chapter Seventy-Nine: Alec's Rite of Passage
Today is destined to be an unusual day, although it is very lively outside, after arriving inside, the atmosphere is a little dignified, whether it is all kinds of small people, or big people, they try to lower their voices to speak.
When Rowan walked in, some people looked at him with strange eyes, after all, Rowan's current identity is almost well-known, the best genius of the year, and he was born as a horse boy, which is a legend in itself, and he is now a great achievement at this age, as long as there is a little bit of identity, he will not forget that there is such a dark horse in the Demon Court this year, and the strong force overwhelms Victor Jacques and other geniuses.
But how did he come here, but I don't know what is going on here today, or is he going to be on the side of the county guard?
Following the steward, Rowan followed suit, thinking about walking in the backyard, except for a little harassment from his eyes, no one really dared to stop him.
The environment of the mansions in this world is mostly similar, the front is a wide square, a garden and the main hall, and the front yard and the back yard are isolated in the middle with various tricks, if it is an ordinary residence, then it must be received in the front yard, but this is the city lord's mansion, and the front yard is the office place, so the reception place becomes the backyard, fortunately, the place here is not small, but Rowan saw more people coming today than the Victor family's coming-of-age ceremony, he even saw the figures of Odom, Henao and Daley, they stood together, congratulating a person with a more fat figure, in addition, there were many such figures, wandering around, Some of them gathered together and whispered, and some brought their female companions to laugh at this in a low voice, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Of course, there is another group of people who are far away, they each form a circle, which is in stark contrast to the circle of the city lord's mansion, and their atmosphere is even more strange, looking at the city lord from time to time, their eyes are full of strange and dignified looks.
There is also a circle, which should be the opposite of the city lord, but the people in it Luo Wen don't know each other, and they don't know who they are, but they should be the Anson family.
The men are intrigued, but the women don't care about this, they are still dressed charmingly, interspersed with all kinds of people, looking for something, Rowan glanced at a few times, and found several beautiful girls with good figures, admiring their good faces and exotic styles, but they didn't notice Rowan .
In this place, apart from the identity of the Wizard of Rowan, he came alone, and he was powerless, which was really nothing in the eyes of these women.
At this time, a younger woman saw Rowan, her eyes lit up, she put down the wine glass in her hand, left her sisters, and walked over to Rowan.
This little girl looks no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but she is already slim, and her height is even a little taller than Luo Wen, with a clean face and delicate facial features, giving people a feeling of brightness.
This little girl is also one of the people that Rowan admired just now.
She trotted, almost abandoning the posture of a lady, and ran over in small steps, looking a different kind of youthful and beautiful scenery, she came to Rowan, panting, clutching her snow-white chest, bowing, and saying, "Hello, Master Rowan, I am Catherine, Alec's own sister. β
Rowan stood up and admired Catherine from top to bottom with an admiring gaze, and looked at the little beauty's face red, and then said with a smile, "Alec told me about you, I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect that Catherine's sister is really beautiful, and in this group of flowers, Catherine's sister is also as eye-catching as the most beautiful starlight in the sky." β
Catherine covered her mouth and said with a teasing smile, "My brother said that Master Rowan was a man of few words, but I think he was wrong, you are a very talkative person. β
Rowan smiled, "It depends on who you talk to, and when you talk to a beautiful woman, you can't be the same as everyone else." β
Catherine's face turned even redder, she looked at Rowan carefully, and said expectantly, "Alec is behind, I'll take you there, butler, you can go back." β
The housekeeper hurriedly retired, although Rowan did not emit any momentum, but with an intermediate magician, the housekeeper also suffered a lot of pressure.
Catherine usually bears a lot of praise, but it is just the flattery of ordinary people, as the daughter of the city lord's family, she can naturally tell who is telling the truth and who is telling a lie, Rowan is only the first time to see her, and it has little to do with their family, let alone the relationship between superiors and subordinates, naturally telling the truth, although she knows that she is beautiful, but she is still very proud to be said by a successful man. Of course, Catherine herself is not only beautiful, but also a very smart girl.
Here Catherine left her female companion and went to greet a young man, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, but when they saw that it was Rowan, some people were confused, and some people were very shocked.
"Who is that, Catherine actually stooped down to greet her, and seemed to be very happy. A young girl with Catherine said strangely.
"It seems that our county flower doesn't like any man, it seems that there are still types of people who like it. The other girl looked at the two who had left with some surprise.
"That's it, who is that, which family's son, how have I never seen it. A scantily clad woman next to her said.
"Why, Lulu is going to have a spring, but you shouldn't do anything about this person. β
"you, you're just in spring, I can look at anyone. β
"Haha, yes. β
γγγ
"Rowan. β
"Is it him?
"It seems that the Anson family is really difficult, but they have been very arrogant for so many years, and it seems that the time of bad luck is coming. β
"It's fun. β
γγγ
"Damn, damn magician. Someone from the Anson family scolded in a low voice, he looked at both sides, and some of these people saw Rowan and quietly took a few steps back, moving away from the family.
When other people saw this, they also remembered the little Jiujiu in their hearts.
γγγ
Rowan radiated his spiritual power, and naturally knew all this, but he pretended not to hear it, chatting with Catherine, and walked to the back.
Magicians have groups of magicians, so naturally they can't be like everyone else, showing their heads outside and chatting about some unhappy things with those ordinary people.
However, Rowan found that since he came in, the minds of these noble masters have changed greatly. This kind of thing should have been seen only in the officialdom of the previous life, but I didn't expect to see it here, this is officialdom, this is the naked reality, although he doesn't believe that he has such a great deterrent, but it is obvious that his appearance has brought many mysterious changes.
Catherine matured earlier, although there was a naughty tone in her tone, but Rowan obviously felt her restraint, she was younger than herself, but she had experienced a lot at all, facing herself, it was inevitable that there would be some pressure, Rowan didn't want to use her identity as a magician to put pressure on him, try to pick some light topics.
"I've heard that the City Lord's Guard has recently introduced a new batch of falcons, can Sister Catherine introduce me? Rowan digressed the subject.
Speaking of falcons, Catherine's good-looking eyebrows raised slightly, and there was some yearning in her eyes, but she didn't dare to say more, because this was a secret of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Rowan, I'm sorry, this is a secret of the Yorkshire garrison, I can't say more, but I heard from my brother that your magician's library has an introduction to falcons, which is very detailed. Catherine suddenly thought of something and smiled mischievously.
Rowan nodded, and did not blush because of Catherine's counterattack, "The book is the book, there is a sentence that says, if you believe in a book, it is better to have no book, and most of the concepts in the book come from the author's own personal experience or other information, and it cannot be detailed, this kind of monster beast, only if you see it yourself, you can make a conclusion." β
A little star appeared in Catherine's eyes, "What Brother Rowan said is so reasonable, and it is better to believe in a book than to have no book, I want to write down this sentence." β
She bit her little red lip, as if she was trying to remember, this look was so cute, even Rowan who was a two-life person couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Soon, it was time for the magicians to be. Pushing open the door, Catherine smiled mischievously, "I hope Brother Rowan can come a few more times, those magicians are the most boring." With that, she left the place, obviously, her world was not here.
Rowan looked at Catherine's departing back with some regret, then straightened up, pushed open the door, and walked into the hall.
This should be the meeting hall, the room is very large, at the moment it is arranged and the hall outside, in the middle is a dance floor, next to the round table, on which there is food, although they are not nobles, but there are also most of the magicians have the identity of the nobles, the nobles' set of these will, drinking and dancing, these are the necessary learning skills of the nobles, as for what to do after drinking and dancing, it is naturally the turn of the individual to play, the personal charm is strong, naturally can hold the beauty, the personal ability is not strong, and there are also girls who will look at it that is his businessγ
However, this is a gathering place for magicians, there are not so many rules and regulations, although magicians are not forbidden, they are not as indulgent as the world, most of the mages focus on cultivation, and there are very few things in this regard, unless someone specifically wants to come out and have some fun.
So after Rowan came in, most of the people gathered around the wine table, or at the ** Mei food.
When Rowan stepped through the door, most of the people looked this way.
However, Rowan found that Victor Alec Jacques and the others stood together, as if they were not happy, and when they saw Rowan at the door, Jacques's expression was quite exciting, and Victor and Alec breathed a sigh of relief.
