Alver barely squeezed out an extremely false social smile at the countess, and turned to look at Vincent Carr, who was sitting across from him|-Vincent looked at the table with a straight face, Carl pretended to be interested in the chandelier in the banquet hall, but the expressions of the two of them were also eager to get out of the room.

Teacher Luna had already re-marked the map according to the clues provided by the counts, and Ms. Milan sent the three copies belonging to the children, and said to the countess, "We will be ready to leave after lunch, thank you for your room and board, may I ask how much was last night's accommodation and today's meal? ”

The Countess smiled and shook her head, "You have been entertained by my husband as guests, so how can you ask for food and lodging to the guests? She stood up and said to Lady Milan, "There are things I already foresee, and if I really want to repay my hospitality and help, you know, Hanseatic things...... Then let this kid named Alver come and visit me when I need it. The Countess walked slowly out of the banquet hall, and when the servant opened the door for her, she turned back and said, "I hope to conclude a contract for this reward, and you may consider it, and if you agree, write to me later, and my husband and I will finance the school, and no longer cooperate with slave traders whose slaves are unknown." She thought for a moment, looked at Teacher Luna with a meaningful smile, and added, "Emerson can ...... with you." Let's go. ”

Teacher Luna's face turned purple.

The atmosphere of lunch can be said to be treacherous, Emerson was also invited to the table, counting the Earl and the Countess, the long table in the banquet hall only had four vacant seats, Teacher Luna and Emerson sat next to each other, Teacher Luna had a gloomy face, but Emerson ignored Teacher Luna's face and talked to her and the others in the banquet; Elfer sat next to the Earl and the Countess, and kept being frantically added, the Countess kept saying that it didn't matter if she couldn't finish eating, but you had to try this and that, and soon Elver's plate was piled up as high as a hill, and he had to replace one plate; Carl took Vinson and sat down next to Ms. Milan, and the two of them sandwiched Ms. Milan between left and rightDuring the dinner, she had been telling jokes to Ms. Milan, which made her almost laugh out loud several times, and the rest of the people admired the exquisite decoration of the room, and some gossiped about what they had seen and heard about yesterday's party.

It was easy to get to the end of lunch, and Alver, who had hastily eaten dessert, hurriedly got to Vinson and Carl's side, grabbed Miss Milan and Vincent's hands and asked Carl what he had just said so funny, and Carl intimately stood in front of Alver and danced and spoke again, and the four of them went out of the dining room in a noisy, but fortunately the Countess did not pester Elf.

The children were almost trotting back to their rooms, the servants had already brought the clean equipment, and the blood stains on Elver's leather armor had been completely cleaned, as if they had not been soaked in blood, Vincent had been temporarily selected by the adults in the town, and it was a little worse than the school's equipment, but it was enough.

As Alfer was putting on his gear, he found a small note in his fanny pack, with ornate lettering on it, and the part of the pen was a little peculiar, and it was a little laborious to read, with the words "Just visit me once." ”

Alver thought for a moment and put the note back in his pocket.

"What is it?" asked Karl.

"The Countess's note. Alver said as he tightened his hand.

"What's the matter with her, eyeing you?" Vincent said as he poured himself a cup of tea at the end, then put his arm around Alver's shoulder, "but honestly, she doesn't look at you with any malice, not like the kind of black witch who eats children. ”

"I think it's like ...... Mom?" Carl pulled the door open, "Usually only mothers who are extremely doting on their children have that kind of gaze. ”

Elph suddenly thought of his own background and the Countess's experience.

"When did the Count arrive in Mimatown?"

Vincennes and Carl both shook their heads.

"Will I, look like the Countess's child?"

"Isn't she childless with the Count?" said Elver, plucking out his ear and plucking the pinna with his hand.

"Yes," Alver smiled, "maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

The three children had gone out to the hall to meet the others, and the Count and Countess were also with them, and as they walked out of the Earl's Palace, Elfer was struck by the large garden at noon, and he glanced back at the house, and was frightened by the heavy flying buttresses and the tall spires—the Earl's Mansion was a majestic assemblage, almost like a medium-sized castle, even larger than the school.

The horses had already been led into the garden, and the Countess had to send them to the garden gate, where she stopped Alver before he could mount his horse, and said to Alver with great sincerity: "Son, even if you do not agree to me, I will donate to the school." ”

Alver nodded, stepped on the stool and got on the horse.
