In a secret ancestral hall of the Golden City Harvest Church, a man with short blond hair sat cross-legged on the cold ground with his eyes closed.

Look at the dust on his shoulders, he has been sitting here for many days.

In the silence, the small door of the secret room suddenly opened, and a piece of information came in from inside.

"Lord Brandwisson, today's entry into the city is here. ”

The person outside the door said respectfully.

The person hiding in this secret room at this time is none other than Brandwisson, who has taken off his military uniform.

Brandwisson, who had changed into a monk's uniform, looked a little handsome at this time, not at all as terrifying as when he was fighting and killing.

Brandwisson opened his eyes, took the information, and asked outside the back room, "Is there anything special today?" ”

"Everything is fine, my lord. It's just..."The person outside the door hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It's just that an arrogant and domineering viscount came today, and there may be some problems with the order in the city." ”

"It's all trivial, and the more chaotic the nobles, the better it is for us. Brandwisson said casually.

Brandwisson was completely dismissive of such news, and only Ent's message could get his attention.

"Go down, the fewer people who know about my existence, the better, lest anyone find out my message through some secret method. ”

“... Brandwisson?" Leo let out a strange cry and leaned over to Esenas and asked, "How do you know he's here?"

"I'm just saying it's possible. Isenus took a bite of the apple and said indistinctly.

"Is that reasoning?" Leo looked at Esenus suspiciously. "How did you make this reasoning? I didn't find any point where I could make an inference. ”

"It starts with Ent. ”

Isenas nibbled off the remaining apples in two bites and analyzed them for everyone.

"Brandwisson's attitude towards Ente is obvious, which is to chase it to the death. So he won't give up on any clues that can find Ente. ”

"However, after the collapse of the deep sea of ice crystals, we completely erased all traces of ourselves with the help of Histangal's shield, which cut off all traces of reconnaissance-style tracking. ”

"But there's one more connection between us, and that's this Godhead!"

Isenus looked around at everyone and said, "I guess you haven't forgotten that when we came up from under the ice, Blandwisson, who was waiting above, broke the godhead. ”

Everyone nodded silently.

"Now that we know that this godhead can be used to revive the goddess of nature, and that Blandwieson is from the Church of Light, do you think he wouldn't know about this?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"After seeing us retreat with the dwarves of Estangal, if it were me, based on my knowledge of Ente and Faith, I would definitely make the judgment that the Dragon Adventure Party would hand over the godhead to the dwarves of Estangal to help them revive the goddess of nature, not to mention Brandvison, who knows Ente and faith better than I do. ”

Everyone nodded in unison again.

Seeing that everyone looked serious and seemed to be listening, Esenus rubbed his temples helplessly.

“... Anyway, that's why I asked everyone to come in disguised as a nobleman, and Brandwieson felt that we would infiltrate as civilians, so he stepped up the investigation at the city gate - don't ask why, little Paul, except in wartime, which entrance to the city can be expelled for a kilometer?—— we do the opposite, pretending to be a nobleman with great fanfare, but it will make Brandwison ignore us. ”

"So what are we going to do next?"

After realizing that there was a certain gap between him and Isenas in intelligence, Leo didn't do much useless work, and simply put on a look of "I'll do what you say".

"What's next?" said Isenas with a smile, "I need you to play in your true colors." ”

In the bitter cold wind, Leo was held by Nana's arm and stood on the bustling commercial street of Golden City.

Although the weather was cold, it did not affect the nobles who came and went on Liujin Street.

It is precisely because it is early winter at this time, and the aristocratic ladies have to wear the winter clothes that have been prepared for autumn to compare and compare, and if the materials and styles of the clothes are fashionable and eye-catching, then she and her husband will be the center of discussion in this circle.

Leo glanced distressedly at Nana, who was shivering in the cold wind, and hurriedly led her into a ready-to-wear store.

The warmth of these ready-to-wear stores for the aristocracy greatly relieved Nana's physical discomfort.

The attendant who greeted him hurriedly brought a hot towel and a bowl of hot tea.

Leo snatched the towel and put his hand on Nana's neck, and fed Nana two sips of hot tea.

Nana blushed and whispered to Leo, "I can do it myself." ”

"I can't do it myself. Leo looked serious and concerned, and said in the same low voice: "You are a viscountess now, and you shouldn't talk about things that can make others do it." ”

Nana struggled for a while, but was finally defeated by Leo's insistence, allowing Leo to wipe her exposed skin with a hot towel.

Leo patiently wiped Nana from head to toe, and whispered, "You don't look like a mountain man at all, this skin looks like a duchess." ”

Nana's face turned even redder and she whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

Leo smiled slightly, stood up and handed the towel back to the attendant.

Several other aristocrats in the ready-to-wear store took a look at Leo's behavior.

But not with contempt, but with appreciation.

can take care of his female companion in such a considerate and careful manner, regardless of his status, is a real gentleman in the eyes of these nobles.

After Leo finished dealing with his personal affairs, a noble lady walked over, her legs slightly bent, her hands lifted the hem of her skirt, and nodded to Leo and the two.

This was etiquette among the aristocracy.

Seeing this, Leo held his right chest with his left hand, pressed his right hand on the top of his head, made a pretending to take off his hat, and returned the salute.

Seeing that Nana was still in a daze, Leo, who had returned the salute, quietly poked Nana and made a lip gesture behind her: "Aristocratic etiquette." ”

Nana woke up like a dream, and quickly returned the salute like the lady opposite.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief and explained to the nobleman opposite: "I'm sorry, my wife is not used to this. ”

"It doesn't matter, everyone is not very used to this etiquette that has only recently become popular. Madame said with a smile. "I'm Baroness Bream, daughter of the Marquis of Grizzly, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

"I am Viscount Arendt, nephew of Duke Bigley, and I am equally glad to see you, ma'am. ”

Leo gestured to the squire and motioned for him to follow.

The baroness smiled and walked over to Nana.

"Don't know your name yet?"

"Nana. ”

Noticing that Leo behind him glanced at herself, Nana quickly added, "Nana Beagle." ”

"You were born so beautiful, like a duchess. Mrs. Bram looked at Nana in amazement, whether it was her hair as bright as gold, her smooth white skin, and her unique blue eyes, as deep as the sea and as clear as jewels, all fascinated Madame Bream.

And compared with the aristocratic ladies who are crawling around in the aristocratic field, Nana has a clean and pure temperament, which can only be seen in the descendants of the great nobles who are extraordinarily favored by the head of the family.

Nana only smiled at Mrs. Brem's compliment, and did not look very pleased.

Such a calm appearance confirmed Mrs. Brem's guess even more.

This must be the descendant of some large family.

She took Nana's hand more closely, made a sisterly posture, and said with concern: "Why do you wear so little? Although temperament is an important part of the aristocratic homework, practicality is also what we value. ”

Leo, who was on the side, snorted coldly in annoyance and dissatisfaction: "Hmph, these tailors of the lower riba people are only worthy of using leaves to cover key places. ”

Leo was furious at this, it was these incompetent tailors who had to suffer Nana in the cold wind for two minutes.

Mrs. Bram covered her mouth and chuckled.

It was also part of aristocratic etiquette, and any exaggerated action to show one's emotions was barbaric and vulgar.

"It doesn't matter, in the Golden City, you can find everything a nobleman needs. "Mrs. Bram was confident. "You're new to Golden City, aren't you? If you don't mind, I'll be happy to introduce you to you. ”

"Thank you very much. Leo nodded.

So, in a pleasant atmosphere, Mrs. Bloom took Leo and his wife on a tour of the six-storey ready-to-wear store.

Along the way, Leo was furious with all the clothes, and walked from the first floor to the sixth floor, and none of them were satisfied.

Leo was born noble, and at this time he pretended to be a nobleman, as Isenas said, in his true colors.

Under the influence of Fort Duke's two years, although Leo will not deliberately pursue the beauty of clothes, his vision is naturally much higher. Deliberately, all the clothes are not worth looking at.

At first, Madame Brem thought that the "Viscount Arendt" was making trouble, but after Leo pointed out the shortcomings of these clothes one by one, Madame Brem gradually became convinced, and later even agreed with Leo's opinion and agreed.

However, Mrs. Bram did not know that the reason why Leo was so picky was not that the clothes were really bad, but that the money for the clothes was on his head.

"Thirty years ago, you changed the ornament a little and said that it was your own creation?" Leo asked the clerk who was receiving him, trying his best to suppress the anger in his words.

"Or do you want me to bring in the Cloud Atlas Master?"

These half-threatening words frightened the manager and threw himself on the ground.

Copying the joint royal tailors of several dukes is not something they can afford.

Just when the atmosphere in the garment building was stiff and solidified, the actual managers of the city hurriedly appeared.

This ready-to-wear shop is the signature of the Golden City, and it is also the largest property of Countess Jean Turner in the Golden City and the most important place to attract aristocratic ladies. At the moment, there was such a huge mistake, and his subordinates passed it on to the countess as soon as possible.

Countess Jean Turner straightened her slightly messy hair at the door, making sure that her demeanor was not rude, and then pushed open the door to the sixth floor.

"Hello, Viscount Arendt, and Lady Arendt. The countess took the lead in saluting. "I'm the director of the city, Jean Turner. “

According to the class of the nobility, it should be Leo and they saluted first, but the various speculations about Leo made the countess not care so much, and took the lead in lowering her posture.

"You've just arrived, Count. Leo glanced at the countess arrogantly, and did not return the salute, but pointed to the dozen or so coats in the hands of the attendants who followed behind him, and said, "As a nobleman with a sense of honor, I want to know why the masterpiece of Master Yuntu appeared on such a disorderly clothes. ”

This is a nobleman who has truly seen the world! And maybe it has something to do with some big nobles!

The countess's gaze swept over Nana, who had a pure temperament, and the thought flashed through her mind, and then she said with a smile: "It must have been done by some shameless liar of mine, and I will remove all relevant clothes from the shelves, and I will expel the tailor from my territory." ”

Leo's face softened slightly.

"It's for the best. ”

After saying that, Leo picked up Nana and was about to go out.

"Viscount Arendt!" shouted the countess hurriedly behind her. "Where are you going?"

"There were no clothes we liked here, of course we were leaving. ”

The countess chuckled in her heart.

If this mysterious nobleman, arrogant and cautious-looking nobleman, was allowed to leave here disgruntly, the reputation of her ready-to-wear store would be ruined.

"Viscount Arendt!

"What else?" Leo turned.

"Look, how about this suit on me?" said the countess, turning in a circle, revealing her snow-white fox fur coat.

Li Aozai took a closer look, and said with a cold face: "It's not bad, it looks quite in line with the identity of an earl." But I don't have any interest in your body. ”

Leo's words made the countess's face turn blue and red.

She's not a physical count!

After a long time, the countess let go of her clenched fist and smiled reluctantly: "You are joking, Viscount Arendt." I mean, if you think my clothes are a good idea, why don't you go to my house and pick out a few suitable clothes for this lady, and it will be my apology. ”

Seeing that the countess was full of sincerity, Leo's face softened slightly, and he nodded: "Then thank you." ”

At their lodgings in Isenas, Isenas explained to the rest.

“... What we lack most now is the forces to help gain access, intelligence, and so on. We can't create a force out of thin air, but we can borrow it! That's the first step in the whole plan, borrowing momentum!"
