Chapter Twenty-Seven: Going to the Feast
"I'm not worried about others, the only thing I'm worried about is the Hepburn family, if our pharmacy business has an impact on their business, they can't deal with us head-on, and they will inevitably make some small moves in secret. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Kevin was silent for a moment, Allen's words touched one of his recent concerns, as the refining of the potion gradually unfolded, he became more and more aware of the huge commercial benefits contained in it, and at the same time saw the risks behind it, and when the Hepburn family found that he had cut a part of the big cake in his hand, he would never be indifferent.
"Money is not important, what matters is people, if I am not here, Kevin you have to help Steven get ideas, don't lose big because of small things, big deal is to take a step back. ”
Alan is worried that Steven will not be willing to lose his business and put himself in danger.
"Allen, you can rest assured that you can enter the mountain, the affairs here are all left to me, now the business of potions and food is going very well, it won't be long before we will have a large amount of income, with this money, plus some previous savings, even if you leave the ancient city of Aogu, to anywhere, Steven can live without worry. ”
Allen's words have been said so clearly, how Kevin still doesn't understand that Alan is worried that if he has an accident in the Cullen Mountains, someone will plot against Steven's family property. But he said this easily, if he really wants to give up his current business, I'm afraid that the most unwilling is himself.
"Alan, you don't have to worry, although I will go into the mountain with you, but Shelly and some other mercenary brothers will still stay in the ancient city of Aogu, I will leave a letter for them before leaving, explaining that at a critical time, they will protect Steven and your family business even if they risk their lives. ”
Listening to Allen's words, Bloom's heart was also tight.
"Family business is not important, just ensure Steven's safety, and let the brothers keep an eye on the mercenary named Roy Quake, although Steven is kind to him, but this person has a previous holiday with me, and may not be reliable. ”
Alan nodded, and accepted Bloom's suggestion, if there is really someone who is not good for Steven, then they must also go for money, they may not necessarily hurt Steven, so it should be enough for Shelly to protect them.
"Alan, I think you're a little worried about Quake, from my observation of this person, no matter what he did before, he is definitely loyal to Steven now, and he is also conscientious about protecting Steven, at least I haven't seen such a dedicated guard, and I have secretly investigated him, his life is very simple now, and his communication is very simple, I don't see the possibility of being bad for Steven. ”
Kevin has a lot of contact with Steven and knows more about Quake, so he has a lot more confidence in Quake than Allen.
"This person's heart is not right, now that we are here, he doesn't dare to have any ideas, but if we can't come back, it will inevitably give birth to different intentions, so it's better to be careful. ”
"Alan, don't worry, if this Roy Quake really betrays him, I will let my brother take his life in the first place. ”
Bloom patted his chest and reassured.
"With your support, I can go all out and have no worries on this trip to the Cullen Mountains. ”
Alan smiled and raised his glass to thank the two men.
"Hey, you three actually ran here and hid. ”
The three of them were talking, and after a sound of footsteps, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open from the outside, followed by Elvis and Harditch at the door.
"Let's go and drink together. ”
Elvis staggered in with a bottle in his hand, grabbed Alan and dragged him out.
"Let's go, let's drink. ”
Alan laughed, then pulled Kevin and Bloom back down the hall to join the crowd that continued to have fun.
At noon the next day, while many of the people who had been celebrating until the second half of the night were still asleep, Alan and Steven had finished their lunch, and the servant dressed Steven in a white gown sewn by the best tailor in town, and tied a black bow tie, and he was at once transformed into a handsome young man who was well-dressed and well-armed.
Alan is a special existence as a magician, and their magician robe is often a symbol of noble status, so even the most formal dinner, they can directly wear the magician robe to attend, but in order to make Allen's figure look less bloated, Isha specially sewed several sets of slimmed versions of the magician robe for Alan, compared to the wide magician robe that needs to contain a lot of magic supplies inside, this magician robe can better set off Allen's figure, making him look more slender and straight, and he will not behave very clumsy at the ball.
In this way, Allen, who had packed up, took Steven to join Bloom and Kevin, who were already waiting in the courtyard, and rushed to Ogu Castle in a carriage.
This party was the largest gathering held by Hollanster since he became the head of the family, and not only the leading figures in the ancient city of Oku, but also important people from other towns in the ancient city of Okugu were invited, and Bloom as the deputy head of the mercenary group, Steven and Kevin as important business partners of the Ogu family, were also invited.
Before they reached the gate of the villa, they had already seen a lot of people on the road, they were riding horses or riding carriages, all dressed in brocade and light fur, dressed in jewels, all of whom were invited by the Ogu family to attend the New Year's banquet held at the castle.
Alan and the others were stopped at the gate of the manor, and they handed over an invitation signed by Holancest, and immediately someone came forward to receive them, and the horses and wagons they were riding were left outside the gates, and handed over to special guards, and everyone changed to the carriage of the Ogu family and continued up the mountain.
The carriage arrived outside the second gate in front of the castle, stopped, and the carriage returned to the bottom of the hill to pick up the other guests, and Alan followed the welcome into the castle.
The interior and exterior of the castle are newly decorated, with a scarlet wool carpet spread from the hall to the city gate, allowing guests to enter the castle without touching the soil after getting out of the carriage.
Stepping on the thick elastic carpet, Steven actually had the feeling of walking on the clouds. Although it was cold outside, as soon as he walked to the door of the castle hall, he immediately felt a warm spring breeze, which made people feel indescribably warm.
"Brother-in-law, look, it's all your masterpieces. ”
Steven pointed to the roof of the hall and said to Allen, where several sets of large air-conditioned magic arrays were installed, which were specially customized for the Agu family by Allen before the bandit suppression mission, and at this time, the surface halo of the large red fire-based magic crystal embedded in the magic array flickered, indicating that the heating function of the magic array was running at full speed.
