257 Landspout
A plain letterhead is sealed with red fire-lacquered wax, and an extremely delicate pattern is stamped on it, with a three-headed snake spreading its wings, symbolizing the three powerful kings of the thousand-year-old empire, and indirectly indicating the identity of the letter writer.
Charlie gently rubbed the letter paper in his hand, it was as smooth as a girl's skin, and the theme of the invitation mentioned in the letter was the second anniversary of the Millennium Magic Newspaper, which was held in Haynes City because it was the founding place of the Millennium Magic Newspaper.
"Uncle Brian, who sent this invitation?" asked Charlie through the curtain.
Brian skillfully waved his horsewhip and replied: "A young man, I see that he is wearing the uniform costume of the Millennium Magic Newspaper, he should be a worker of the newspaper! Actually, if the young master feels embarrassed, he can ignore it, turn around, and go back to rest!"
Why did the Millennium Magic Newspaper invite himself to its anniversary? This is a question that Charlie has been thinking about, and Charlie doesn't think that the editor-in-chief of the Millennium Magic Newspaper will be interested in him, and it may have something to do with its behind-the-scenes boss, Princess Elsa.
After careful calculation, Charlie has had three head-to-head encounters with Princess Elsa:
The first time, that is, the moment when Charlie was most unwilling to face, he was pointed out by thousands of people and his reputation was discredited, which was the turning point of Charlie's falling life;
The second time, in the debate competition where Master Nar published his paper, Princess Elsa deliberately targeted herself with a bad impression of the past, wanting him to make a fool of herself in public, but she was scolded back, making her lose face, and in that battle, he won a small victory, which was a small reward for the depression of the first game;
The third time, because Charlie visited Randolph and happened to meet Princess Elsa holding a private debate, the two did not have a conflict that time, Charlie made a position righteously, saying that everything in the past was written off, and the two had nothing to do with each other.
Be reasonable, it should end here. Today, however, he received a letterhead from the princess.
Alas, what a difficult girl!
"Go!" Charlie rubbed his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "I just humiliated her a little in a public debate, and I still responded passively, which was kind of a tribute to her blows and endless targets against me, and now it seems that she has not let go of the past, I want to see how I can end it." ”
Brian smiled and said, "Young Master, it seems to me that maybe Princess Elsa is interested in you! Just imagine, if you dislike a person from the bottom of your heart, what will you think?"
Charlie said without thinking: "I wish it would disappear from this world, if not, I will stay away from it, the farther away the better." ”
"Yes, everyone thinks so, and now looking at Princess Elsa's behavior, isn't it contradictory? Hate and love are often only separated by a layer of paper. ”
Charlie snorted coldly, "I know what you mean, but I'm not interested in her at all. ”
Brian smiled: "Judging from her appearance, although she is a well-known beauty and talented woman, she has not reached the point of fascinating all beings, and with the experience of the young master, it is normal to look down on her."
However, it has been said that power is the best aphrodisiac, why is the widowed countess always so attractive? why does every young man long to climb into the princess's bed? why do beautiful maidens always favor the upper class and the powerful?!
Wealth factor aside, power gives these people an aura that brings a lot of extra stimulation to the senses, which is far more interesting than mere beauty!"
"Hey, hey!" Charlie almost choked on his own saliva, knocked on the carriage, and said, "Uncle Brian, I didn't expect you to be a ...... who is so deeply hidden Old driver!"
"What's an old driver?"
It's a buzzword that comes from the heteroplane.
Charlie reacted, smiled, and said, "I'm just very surprised, Uncle Brian has always been a cautious and serious person in my impression. ”
In fact, Brian himself is a person with rich life experience, he has been a housekeeper in the Williamson family for more than 50 years, and he has also seen all kinds of scenes with Archduke Thomas.
Brian smiled slightly, and said, "I'm just watching too much, besides, wasn't the young master once one of the masters? That night, he sneaked into the bathroom of Her Royal Highness the Princess, didn't he contain this little bit of thought in it?"
Charlie said helplessly: "I was framed!"
"Who cares if you're framed or not, then again, if you really have such an opportunity, and you don't have to worry about being punished, don't you want to see it?"
A question evokes Charlie's infinite reverie.
Charlie smiled bitterly: "Uncle Brian, I have almost forgotten all the things before. ”
Brian shrugged, "If the young master doesn't want to hear it, I won't say it, maybe the young master will meet a few acquaintances from the year tonight." ”
......
The old horse-drawn carriage sails straight into the most luxurious part of the Harbour of Henes, with the best view of the beach and the clearest waters, the Burj Al Arab of Hennes, a giant sail that rises above the sea.
Charlie's carriage was probably the most chilling of all the passing carriages, overtaken by one magnificent magic carriage after another, and some even deliberately pinned in front of it, startling the old horses driven by Brian, and then a group of youngsters in fresh clothes and angry horses let out an insolent laugh.
If this happened two years ago, it would have been a big problem, and Charlie would have caused an incident of the Silver Knights' iron hooves galloping and charging on the esplanade, of course, Charlie at that time would not have been targeted by the children of the gentlemen in such a dilapidated carriage.
At this moment, the old horse was under the control of Brian, and many small thrills were suppressed by him, and the old horse took a steady step, pulling the simple carriage, and always maintained a slow and steady rhythm in the traffic.
"It's good that my uncle's driving skills are good. Charlie shook his head and chuckled, sighing lightly, "In the two years that I have been without Haynes, many new faces have emerged!"
"Being young and frivolous is probably a necessary stage of life! Especially for some children of noble birth, their personalities will be more flamboyant. ”
Charlie smiled dumbly, "Now I find that Uncle Brian is very suitable to be a life coach, and every sentence is said to such a standard." ”
Brian smiled, "Maybe I'm getting older and getting more verbose, young master, don't think I'm talking too much." ”
"Of course not, I think my uncle is an interesting person. ”
Brian smiled.
Suddenly, two fierce sparks erupted from the iron-clad wheels on the stone pavement, and a screeching sound was pulled, and a tall and luxurious magic carriage lay across the front of Charlie's carriage.
Brian jerked the reins, the old horse raised his front hooves high, and the hind hooves quickly stepped on the floor road, the thin legs of the horse bear the huge inertia of the carriage, deflected the front of the carriage, and then controlled the momentum, and stopped against the luxury carriage, fortunately, its speed was not fast, otherwise it would crash headlong, activate the defensive magic cover of the luxury carriage in front, and the old horse would probably be reimbursed.
Charlie was caught off guard and hit his head on the wooden board of the carriage, his head hurt, and his anger involuntarily rose.
The luxury carriage pulled the curtains, revealing a fair and handsome face, he observed the situation left and right, glanced at Brian with a pair of eyes, and praised: "Yo! The old groom's skills are good! This has made you stable, are you interested in driving for Young Master Ben, I will give you double the salary!"
Brian smiled in return, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you, sir, for your kindness, I have no idea of changing jobs for the time being." ”
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse!" the young man casually found a famous thorn and shook it over casually, "think about it carefully, change your mind one day, come to me at any time, this is the address of my house." ”
Duh!
The gilded thorn was directly pierced into the wooden board of the carriage, and the wood was divided into three points, showing his good hand strength and flying card skills.
At this time, Charlie didn't come out again, his face was almost lost, and a group of spectators came up around, with a high sense of superiority, watching this farce, with a rare look of sympathy in his eyes.
Squeak!
Charlie pushed open the carriage door, jumped out of the carriage, removed the name thorn, tore it to pieces, and threw it on the ground.
"It's kind of interesting!"
"Hey, hey, let's fight!"
"Who is this guy? A poor ghost is still so backbone?!"
Maybe the Haynes people are too forgetful, maybe because Charlie's size and appearance have changed so much, no one recognizes him at the first time, and as for Brian Butler, who lives in Fort William in Erwyn Woodland all year round, he is not very recognizable.
The young man rested on the windowsill with one hand, and tapped his fingers lightly on the delicate marble slab, "Do you know how much this famous thorn is worth?"
On the side of his face, a beautiful pretty face dodged and looked out the window with interest, not knowing if it was because the carriage was stuffy, and the beautiful woman's face was flushed.
"Get out!" Charlie spat out a word, setting off another wave of enthusiasm in the crowd of onlookers, as some decent gentlemen lit their pipes and leaned against the windows of the car to watch the play.
The young man was surprised: "It's even more horizontal than me, who gave you the courage?!"
The girl in the car covered her mouth and giggled, and her beautiful eyes showed a look of disdain and ridicule, but it was a pity for such a handsome boy.
As he spoke, he knocked heavily on the windowsill, and the two samurai sitting on the wheels got up.
However, before they could make a move, Charlie quickly chanted the incantation and pushed his hands forward.
The wind rose on the flat ground and quickly rolled into a whirlpool, the whirlpool spun violently, bringing the people around him to stagger, the girl's face towel and the lady's skirt were rolled up, causing a series of screams, and the esplanade was in chaos.
In the next moment, a grayish-white, funnel-shaped landspout took shape, and countless sand, gravel and dust were swept into it, and the landspout formed an extremely fierce upward spiral current.
The protective magic cover of the luxurious carriage lasted less than a second before it shattered, and the people and the carriage were swept into the air and blown directly into the sea dozens of meters away.
The sound of the sea embellishes the silent esplanade.
