Far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the cliff villa is a rare quiet place to retreat, coupled with the retro luxury of the villa decoration, so it has become a favorite vacation meeting place for these dignitaries.

Cliff Villas often have parties and banquets held for various reasons, and various new variety launches have been held many times. Anyone who is eligible to be invited to the Cliff Villa can apply to become the organizer of the party, supposedly for a significant fee. The last event at the Cliff Villa was a wedding here last month, with the newlyweds being the son of a certain earl and the daughter of a large consortium.

The organizer of this new plant variety is indeed Mrs. Ingrid herself, which is a bit rare. The outside world has not known the actual age of the lady, but they all know that she is very old, although she has lived in the cliff villa for a long time, but she will not participate in every event, let alone organize it herself, so this time all the invited guests were present.

The dinner was held in the dining room, and there was no need to use the banquet hall because there were not many people.

The dinner is scheduled for 6 p.m. and will be held in buffet style, with the launch of new plant varieties being announced at 7 p.m. In other words, the first hour is purely eating, drinking, and chatting.

Xiao Ai dragged on until six o'clock before going from the living room to the bedroom to change into an evening dress, a little black dress, although there is nothing new, but there is nothing more suitable for every occasion than a little black dress.

By the time she got to the restaurant, it was almost half past six. The guests inside didn't come. Everyone was just talking in twos and threes, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

"When I received the invitation, I was shocked, thinking it was someone playing a prank." The Countess of Reese was chubby, and because she was so bored, she actually got into a conversation with her longtime rival, Mrs. Mills.

"Yes, Mrs. Ingrid hasn't organized a party for a long time." Mrs. Mills played with the fan in her hand boredly. She and the Countess of Reese have been competing since they were not married, who has better academic performance, which one is more beautiful in clothes, which husband is more handsome, and the husband is better than the son and daughter, and the two of them are like fighting cocks every time they meet, but today I don't know why the two have no fighting spirit at all.

"Butler, when is Madame coming to the restaurant?"

"I'm sorry everyone, I asked my wife just now, and she said that she was too tired today and would not participate in the rest of today's activities." The butler said respectfully.

The guests all looked at each other. You know, they came because they had been asked by Mrs. Ingrid to come to the postponement of everything, but Madame didn't show up.

However, these distinguished guests did not show dissatisfaction, but expressed their concern for the health of the lady.

"Madame's condition is probably very bad." Xiao Ai complained silently.

It was exactly seven o'clock in the evening, and the valet who had accompanied Mrs. Ingrid in the morning appeared in the dining room punctually, pushing a small cart covered with a thin cloth. "Ladies and gentlemen," said the butler, still with an envelope in his hand, "I have been commissioned by my wife to unveil a new variety of plants for you. After speaking, he looked at the manservant, who nodded, and uncovered the thin cloth, and inside was a thermostatic transparent glass cover, and inside the glass cover was a dwarf green leafy shrub plant, which was full of small round fruits, each of which was blood-red.

The butler opened the envelope and read aloud: "This is a new breed that has been bred - Scarlet Grey. ”

Grey is a mutant sea buckthorn and is a desert plant. Common sea buckthorn produces small yellow oval fruits, which quench thirst and are a very popular fruit.

The mutant sea buckthorn was discovered by a botanist more than 200 years ago, who named the mutant sea buckthorn after his daughter, and since then the mutant sea buckthorn has been known as Grey by the botanical world until now.

Grey's appearance can be said to be no different from that of ordinary sea buckthorn, and it also grows small yellow fruits. But the difference is that the mutated sea buckthorn fruit is round, and more importantly, when humans eat the mutated sea buckthorn fruit, they will be immersed in dreams for a long time and cannot extricate themselves, and the quality of the dream will produce different dreams according to different mutated sea buckthorn fruits, with good dreams and nightmares.

After a long period of research, botanists have finally discovered the principle of mutating sea buckthorn fruit. In the vast desert, people die in the boundless desert every year for various reasons, and these sea buckthorn rely on the root system buried deep underground to slowly absorb the nutrients of the corpses of these dead and their essence and blood, and evolve into mutated sea buckthorn over the years. Different people will have different dreams after eating the mutated sea buckthorn fruit, which is related to the illusion generated by the corpse of the sea buckthorn absorbing nutrients when it is about to die.

Of course, everyone present knows the origin of the mutated sea buckthorn, if the ordinary mutant sea buckthorn fruit is a small round yellow fruit, then how is the blood-red mutant sea buckthorn fruit cultivated? For a while, the atmosphere in the whole restaurant was weird, and everyone looked at Scarlet Grey a little dumbfounded.
