Chapter 137: The Banquet
As the eldest son of Lord Engel, Green showed his intelligence from an early age, not only in writing but also in swordsmanship. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause Cillary's family territory is adjacent to the small town of Maryland, the contact between her parents and the other family's family is also quite frequent, and Cillary has been obsessed with the talented Green since she was a child.
As time passed, the feelings hidden in Hilari's heart continued to sprout and grow, but unfortunately, before Silary could confess, Green had already been admitted to Ilya Elite Academy. For the first time, Hilary had a big fight with her parents, and despite her father's objections, she insisted on entering Sheehan's college. (Cinari's family was the kind of traditional aristocratic family that believed that women should not be admitted to co-educational colleges.)
In the academy, the main reason for Hilary to learn swordsmanship is that she hopes to attract the attention of the other party after meeting Grimm, so since entering the academy, Hilary has been working hard to follow the content taught by her mentor, and even sometimes increases her training amount, and Silari has worked hard to feel that her swordsmanship has made great progress. Progress', at least when training with his swordsman's companion Rayla, he can hold up more than ten moves, if it was before, I'm afraid that he would be picked off the wooden sword without one move (Rayla's father is a formal knight, which can be seen from Rayla's five big and three thick appearances).
When she woke up early that morning, Cella's heart was pounding all the time, and she pulled her best friends from several colleges and went to the banquet that had been prepared for many days.
On the way to the banquet, in order to keep herself from being nervous, Hilary joked about Rayla, who she had never looked up to: Look, isn't that old-looking boy a well-known weirdo in the academy today? I didn't expect him to come to Uncle Engel's banquet as well, so I would have introduced Rayla to him......
Weirdos and monsters, except for the embarrassed musclegirl Rayla, the other girls in the carriage laughed.
The joy of girls at this age is often based on an unfortunate girl of the same age outside the circle.
The town of Maryland is famous for a unique orchid and is considered a wealthy town around the entire city of Flivour. Unfortunately, in recent years, due to the continuous desertification of the land, the flower output of the whole town has been decreasing, but this has not affected the income of Lord Engel's family too much. It is necessary to reduce the wages that small town residents should have, and slightly increase the price of orchids, anyway, more people are obsessed with this luxury~~
Because of cherishing the output of flower seeds, Lord Engel is also considered to have a certain reputation in the entire Frieff, don't look at it as just a lord, but his influence is no worse than that of ordinary barons with real power, so the birthday party he invited can be regarded as a grand banquet.
Being able to receive the invitation of Lord Engel also illustrates the current reputation of the Maria family and the baroness, otherwise the unknown people would not have been able to get that valuable invitation, and along the way, the baron himself has not been less openly and secretly 'reminded' this to Li Lin.
Seeing that the baron knew Lord Engel's situation well, it is estimated that he was not less thinking about how to make friends with powerful people at the banquet.
In a carriage not far away, Hilary was also proudly described by her little friend.
Lord Engel's mansion is located in the center of Maryland Town, as it is also known as the manor surrounded by a sea of flowers.
However, Li Lin always felt that this title was a bit of a sissy, especially after seeing this extremely famous manor with his own eyes......
The flatlands in the center of the town of Maryland were built with great expense by Lord Engel, surrounded by a sea of flowers, and a specially dug artificial lake and stone rockery.
The 'natural landscape' combined with the manor, with loyal knights stationed on the periphery of the manor, formed a protective circle, and the magnificence of the scale of the manor struck the visiting baron's family.
"I didn't expect Lord Engel to be so wealthy, and I don't know how much gold it would cost just to be on such a scale." The baron's exclamation aroused the approval of the people around him, as well as Li Lin's private disdain.
What the fuck is this, I want to ...... back then Eh, have you seen the Old Summer Palace? Otherworldly turtles.
The baron's unintentional remark betrays the nature of his small landowner in the countryside.
"If Lord Engel had invested in the small town of Maryland, why didn't Lord put the money into the town?" The Baroness had seen the dilapidated wooden houses of the townspeople, and when she saw the lord's own estate, the abruptness was all the more pronounced, and she couldn't help but ask the stupid question.
Li Lin couldn't help but glance at this noble lady like a ripe white peony, saying that such a simple beautiful woman among the nobles is even rarer than a virgin in a Japanese high school.
"Ahem, it's probably because the town of Maryland is famous for its unique flowers, but if the current progress of land desertification continues, the town will also decay along with it, so even if it is built, it may be wasted in the end, perhaps it is because of this that Lord Engel will give up building a small town in Maryland and build his own comfortable castle manor instead." The baron took the plunge and answered his wife's stupid question.
Anyway, he didn't think much about the residents of the territory back then, but because he didn't have any money, the contrast between his rustic mud and stone old and rotten castle and the residents' broken wooden houses was not so strong.
"But if the town doesn't produce flowers, and if there is no huge source of funds, how can it afford to support the current manor and knights? ...... go on like this."
Seeing that her brother was about to cry, Maria on the side hurriedly pulled her sister-in-law, who was too kind, and quietly talked about the little secrets between women.
āā¦ā¦ In fact, when the town's flower varieties were selling well, there were rumors that Lord Engel was behind the scenes...... "Maria's beloved Darling, who had no sense of existence on the side, touched his smooth head and smiled harmlessly.
He didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clear.
[Don't underestimate everyone's wisdom]
Even if the other party behaves like a fat pig with a wine bag and rice bag, or a stingy and visionless mean ghost.
Flickering his eyes, Li Lin was silent. In his previous life, when he had just graduated and entered society, he had also despised such leaders around him, but after a century of staggering in the post-disaster world, Li Lin no longer thought so.
Before despising the wine bag and rice bag that you only eat and drink in your eyes, you have to ask yourself, regardless of whether it is by relationship or flattery, why is it not you who sit in that position and enjoy yourself.
