When they got to the Baron's mansion, the elf regretted it a little.

“…… I," he said hesitantly, "I'm today,"

His expression seemed to be torn between "going to the feast with one heart" and "decisively quitting and stopping the loss before committing a more rude act":

"I forgot, I ...... today I," he said, as if determined, pondering the appropriate wording, "so, well, dusty—I don't think I'm fit to visit ...... for a while?" ”

Bauer rolled his eyes without any image to speak of. This should be realized when they accept the invitation! He didn't know how a non-forceful adult could have turned himself into dust, and although the Wind Seeker seemed to have cleaned up and beaten himself, and there didn't seem to be any obvious untidyness, he was speechless compared to the grace and glamour of the morning meeting on the side of the gold-encrusted roses. There is an old saying, "If you put your robe on the back of a chair and lean it up, it will look like that." "Then if you wear a mage's robe and climb the city wall, climb the bell tower, and climb the mountain, then ............

Seeing that he wanted to open his mouth and didn't know how to convince the other party for a while, Bauer, who had been talking happily with each other along the way, didn't want to see him in trouble, so he once again offered the Dafa of "what to eat tonight":

"I just heard from Finley a while ago that the new pastry chef is very good at strawberry mousse...... It's strawberry harvest season! Chenguang Town is also a famous fruit producing area in the south, aha, I can't wait. And ,......"

There was no suspense about what followed: before he could "and" come out with the rest of the story, the adult Great Spirit Dishuda Wind Seeker was once again unable to resist the attack.

Although the Nightmare Mark gave the comrade who was actually named Jin Shaolan a lot of "You must change your disguise and appearance after returning to space, so you can't buy a new outfit through the Nightmare Mark, you can only get clothes through the way you get them in this world." "You have to change your disguise after returning to space, so you can't make adjustments to your clothes through the Nightmare Mark, including but not limited to cleaning, changing colors, cutting, etc., you can only change them in a way that you actually do in this world." "......" and so on.

…… None of the above succeeded in preventing someone's slender back from disappearing decisively into the shadows of the gates of the Baron's Palace. ……

At the Flint family's mansion, they were greeted by a typical old English butler. To the guests from afar, he first greeted them with a sincere and restrained manner, and even Bauer, who was already quite acquainted, joked that he was not convinced, and the butler Fursom was still strict at first glance. He then arranged for each of the three to be freshened up, and when they had recovered from their weariness, the Lord and the Lady of the Baron would entertain you themselves—said the old gentleman.

As for the governess Finley, Mr. Butler, and old Fersom only nodded a little bit at the former, which was regarded as an affirmation that he had completed the task without making mistakes.

The same contractor encountered completely different treatment, but Finley seemed to be unimpressed by this, and politely retired. Before leaving, he found an opportunity to whisper to Jin Shaolan, "Just copy the dining etiquette and modern as it is." ”

Walking behind Butler Fsom, while the old-fashioned old gentleman couldn't see it, Finley also turned around and winked at Jin Shaolan again under the cover of holding his glasses, and smiled kindly.

His attitude was impressive compared to the cautious and tentative cooperation between the "Three Soldiers" when he met them at the Gilded Rose Tavern, and the vicious rivalry between the kitchen knife contractors when he first arrived in Alterac. Not only Jin Shaolan, but also Finley's good upbringing and his generous and witty conversation also gave Bauer a good impression. When he was simply washing in the guest room, Jin Shaolan also considered that this should be Finley's purpose, to contact Bauer and leave a good impression, so as to grasp the initiative of the next move. Well, Finley's appearance, his work as a tutor at the Flint Ray house, is likely to be a mission, or part of a mission, issued to him by the space.

Thinking about these things, Jin Shaolan was still annoyed by her dusty outfit. However, before that, the Nightmare Mark on his chest had already rejected his vain attempts to "give me another newbie outfit, I can make a generic point" and "help clean the novice outfit, I can make a generic point" and other proposals.

The reason is that the contractor's appearance can only be modified when he returns to the space, and providing a new costume (even if it is exactly the same as the previous one) or cleaning it is tantamount to the space disguising the contractor again. If a contractor carries or uses a suit of clothes in this world in the process of being hunted down, of course he can better evade tracking with a different image after changing, but if he fails to get the clothes and exchanges them with a generic point to the Nightmare Mark, it is undoubtedly no different from the space to give him a makeover. The same can be said for cleaning coats that are stained with blood, mud, etc.

This kind of behavior that disrupts the balance is obviously not desirable in space, so it is not surprising that Jin Shaolan's requests have been rejected by the Nightmare Mark one after another.

When the servant knocked on the door and invited the guests to the dining room, Bauer pushed the door and came out a little unsure of his eyes. Behind the other servant, the Deshuda Wind Seeker from the Northern Elven Kingdom stood there looking at him with a smile, dressed in a bright red robe, embroidered with brilliant golden patterns, and the whole person looked long, gorgeous, and elegant, even the navy blue boots under his feet looked regular and clean.

Balton subconsciously rubbed his eyes, "Poet, what kind of magic trick are you?" He couldn't help but mutter.

Jin Shaolan stopped in front of the door of his room as if to wait for the current scene, and when he heard this, he motioned for the servant to continue leading the way, and as he walked forward, he turned back and replied to Bauer with a smile, "I'm sorry." Can't I tell my competitors my secrets? ”

Bauer was puzzled. Even after discussing it with Tabesa, who was several times more proficient in magic, the well-known "magician" still couldn't figure out what was going on. Obviously, the Wind Seeker himself had been helpless, and Bauer didn't understand how he could make himself glamorous just a moment before he went out by resting in his guest room for a while.

Although full of doubts, when Bauer met his old friend Baroness Flintrey and his wife in the dining room, and embraced each other warmly, he ignored the matter.

Eustus Flintrey was a middle-aged, gray-haired man of outstanding appearance, who had begun to look old, always with a pleasant smile on his face. His lady was a standard noblewoman, delicate, languid, and a little condescending, but of course that was when dealing with the servants, and with the guests, she was a little cautiously curious.

Baron Flintrey was invited by the mayor of Morninglight, the eldest son of Duke Eberlock, Elo Eberlock, and his nine-year-old daughter, Althea Eberlock. In addition to the Baroness, they were greeted by a son and a daughter, who were a little too young compared to the Baroness, and were taken out by the governess Finley to meet the guests. Although the little boy of four or five, Jill, could only say some simple childish words of welcome, the twelve-year-old Tila pulled her skirt in a serious circle, made a perfect curtsy, and invited Althea and the siblings to the children's room for a little feast in their children's room as little hostess.

After some greetings, the people who stayed behind also sat down as guests. As Bauer assures on the chest, Baron Flint is a man who never gets tired of talking, and his age has given him a long-term vision and a wealth of experience, as well as a heart-wrenching straightforwardness. Under the leadership of the eldest man, the banquet was full of laughter and speculation. With two mages from Dalaran, it was only natural that the conversation turned to their neighbor, Alterac.

"I heard about their apostasy. Holy Light, I still can't believe that an entire kingdom has chosen to surrender to the enemy like this? ”

Mayor Error, son of Duke Eberlock, asked, desperately seeking an answer from the two Dalaran visitors. For the nobles of Morninglight Town, who live far south regions, Alterac's rebellion is still far from outdated news. Tabesa looked straight at him and nodded categorically:

"Yes."

At this time, she looked more like the elderly Ms. Tabeisa in Jin Shaolan's memory, stern, straightforward, and wise. But as you might think, even Professor McGonagall, an old lady, wasn't just a strict governess when she was younger. Frowning, she said, "Aiden, the 'former' king, claimed: because, he said so—he was troubled by the overwhelming strength of the tribe, and in the end, he had to face the reality that if the alliance failed, he could only save the lives of his subjects by surrendering his army and country. ”

"—therefore...... So he ......?! This left Irro dumbfounded. This nobleman came from a military family and was no more than thirty years old, so he was both incredulous and indignant for a combination of two reasons: "The defection is because he thinks that our alliance has no hope of victory, and he has not even seen a single soldier of the tribe's animals?!" ”

"No, no, he's seen it, there's no doubt about it," Bauer leaned back in his chair and laughed mockingly, "Otherwise, how did he get involved with the tribe and make a pact to betray us—Lordaeron?" ”

Baron Flintrey raised a gray eyebrow. "Fort Riptide - when it was still in a stalemate with the beasts of the tribe - Alterac felt a heavy and imminent threat, so he had to betray his people and conscience against his will, in pain, and in desperation?" He asked mockingly.

Jin Shaolan was also stunned for a moment when she heard this. He has always accepted all the explanations in the game, and never thought about whether there was anything wrong - using the geography of the real world as an analogy, this matter is like the invading army gathered from the South China Sea locusts, first swallowed the two Guangzhous and then sent the troops inland, and then at this time, Gu porridge buckets were still in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to deal with the enemy, Yan Laoxi'er betrayed first and sold Beiping cleanly!

Before he could begin to think about whether he should get involved or not, Tabesa shook his head with a star: "Because of this, I think he is just trying to dress himself up as a sad old man who worries about the country and the people when he sees that it is hopeless to shirk his responsibilities, and it would be too hasty to listen to the words of 'His Majesty Aiden'." ”

"Then you're wrong, ma'am," Bauer shrugged and blithely twisted his dashing mustache, "you think that way because you have had too little contact with the worldly authorities, and seriously, it's just because they're stupid enough!" ”
