Chapter 40: The Illness of Lady Ogu
After the dance was over, the applause was not over, and the other guests also walked into the dance floor with their dance partners and spun, and even the people at the main table pulled their dance partners to the center of the ballroom, and the guests who did not choose to dance also left their seats, gathered in groups of three or five, holding wine glasses and talking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Once the ball begins, the dining tables are removed and the wine and food are placed on a dedicated table at the edge of the hall for the guests to choose from, and the central part of the hall is completely vacated, and the venue becomes wider and more people dance.
Then Hollanster danced with his daughter Selena, and then returned to the high platform and sat down, and several of the leaders of the mercenary group and the mayor of the town also left their dance partners to accompany him, and they sat on their chairs and looked down at the guests below, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Selena, your mother left so soon?"
Steven felt a little strange when he saw that Mrs. Ogu, who was the hostess, had left her husband, daughter, and a large number of guests, and when Selena was returning from a dance, he pulled Alan over and asked.
"My mother's health has not been very good in recent years, she has always been sick, if it weren't for today's special day, she rarely came out to meet guests. ”
Although Selena did not say very specifically, she still explained that her mother left the game early because of health reasons.
"What's wrong with your mother?"
Steven and Selena were very familiar with each other, so they didn't shy away from asking.
"It's useless to tell you, you're not a doctor. ”
Selena expressed her displeasure with Steven's inquiry.
"You haven't come to me recently, you may not know, we opened a potion refining factory, maybe the potions in it can help your mother, isn't it brother-in-law?"
Steven didn't know much about potions, but he knew that the booklet provided by Alan contained different kinds of potions, some for treating diseases, some for physical fitness, and some for auxiliary cultivation, maybe it could really help. Worried that his words would not be enough, he also brought in Allen, who was enjoying a rum with him.
"Miss Selena, what is your mother's illness?"
Alan had already seen that Lady Ogu's face was a little unusually pale, and now it seemed that it might have something to do with illness. Today's meeting made Alan full of affection for this elegant woman, and if he could help her, he was willing to do his best.
"I don't know. Over the years, my father invited countless famous doctors to see my mother, but they only concluded that my mother's disease was a congenital hidden disease, which was not obvious when she was young, but gradually manifested as she grew older, and the person who got the disease was weak and tired. ”
Speaking of her mother's condition, Selena bit her lip lightly and whispered, her expression a little gloomy. Although she didn't believe that Alan could help her mother, she still told the truth.
"Congenital hidden disease? Maybe you can really give it a try. ”
Alan remembered the Fountain of Life, which was explained in the booklet given to him by Gabriel Hepburn, that the Fountain of Life has the effect of stimulating human potential to treat some congenital defects, but how the Fountain of Life is used in medicine Alan is not clear, but Kevin is now arranging for someone to extract potions from the trees of the Elven Forest, and these potions contain a small amount of Fountain of Life, which may help Lady Agu's condition.
"Your Excellency, how sure are you?"
Listening to Alan's tone, it seems that there is really a way, and Selena knows that Eren is not a big talker, so she also became serious, and even her tone became much more polite, she used to call Allen by his name.
"Miss Selena, you know I'm not a doctor. Healing is not a specialty, I'm not very sure, but we do have some extraction potions right now, and the effects of these potions are true, so I think it would not be a bad thing to give it a try. ”
Alan didn't dare to make a promise, his words darkened Selena's originally hopeful face, he thought that Eren was just currying favor with his family in this way, but there was nothing he could do.
"Selena, leave this matter to me, I will arrange for someone to select the medicine and send it over to your mother to try, this medicine is originally for physical fitness, even if it has no effect on curing diseases, but it is also good for the body. ”
Steven saw Selena's disappointment.
"Well, as you said, there's nothing wrong with trying. ”
Selena looked at Steven's somewhat nervous appearance and suddenly smiled.
"Selena, can I ask you to do a dance?"
Steven also wasted no time in extending an invitation to Selena.
"Okay, let me see if your dancing skills are improving. ”
Selena stood up, holding a skirt in one hand and Steven's arm in the other hand and walked into the center of the dance hall.
"Your Excellency, if you wish, you can choose to take a seat in the VIP area on the stage. ”
Just as Alan looked at Steven dancing in the dance hall, a man in housekeeper costume walked up to him and said.
"I'm good here!"
Alan glanced up in the direction of the high platform, which was now full of people around Holancest, and he didn't want to join in the fun, so he refused.
"Vettels sent him to see that he had chosen the right man. ”
When Alan looked at the high platform, Hollanster on the high platform was also looking down, but he was not looking at Allen, but Reinhardt, who had just finished dancing and was immediately surrounded by a group of women.
Reinhardt is still a well-deserved star in the field, and almost all the women look at him with sparkling eyes, although most of them know that this man is not something they can have, but it does not affect their close actions and various fantasies in their hearts.
"What is the use of this kind of person except that he is born with a good skin and is good at mixing in the women's circle?"
Marcus, who was beside Holance, used a mocking tone, but he couldn't hide the sour air of jealousy.
"Don't underestimate him, the Reinhardt family is still thriving today, which is enough to show that each generation is not simple. And many times, it is much easier to get information from a woman's mouth than from a man, and the ancient city of Okugu-state is different from other places, and it is difficult to break through from within, so Vettels put him by our side in the hope of being able to take advantage of his advantages in this regard. ”
Hollander shook his head slightly, and said with a worried expression.
"Uncle is too exaggerated, most of the women in Ao Gucheng are famous, and he doesn't dare not come when he first arrives, otherwise even if he is an official of Yousi, he will have a hard time. ”
Marcus was a little unimpressed by his uncle's words.
"If it's just an official of Yus, he wouldn't be afraid, but his Reinhardt lineage makes us have to be extra careful. Marcus, you arrange for someone to keep an eye on him, on the one hand, to see who he is in contact with, and on the other hand, to prevent him from having an accident, Reinhardt's appearance definitely does not represent himself, but represents the will of Emperor Yuss, and we can't touch a single hair of him until we turn our faces with Yous, understand?"
"Understood. ”
Although Marcus didn't fully agree with his uncle's thoughts, he could only nod when he saw that his uncle's tone was very solemn.
