Chapter 247: The Dinner Party (I)
The day after Enola and Jory came to Mizuki City, Lord Mizuki personally welcomed the two to his palace, and the lord invited the palace's physician to specially examine Jori's injuries.
There is a lot about Ammon. Although Lord Mizuki kept silent for the sake of his friendship with that hero-level powerhouse, it did not prevent the lord from despising the "hero" who had been corrupted by aristocratic life from the bottom of his heart.
It is a conclusive fact that Enola came to the city of Mizuki, and as for whether the man next to her is not the legendary "Josel. Belmont", it is still up for discussion, but Enola and this man have a child, pure nonsense, Ammon has been enough over the years, the hero's bearing and pride have been completely forgotten, but he has learned a lot of bastard skills full of fat brains, adding fuel and vinegar to spread rumors, Ammon is worthy of the weight of a hero-level powerhouse...... These common-sense things can be seen clearly even by an ordinary person like Lord Mizuki.
With Morpheus, who was born in the military in Dolambia. Unlike Saiyah, Lord Mizuki was a pure nobleman, and although he was young and determined to be a qualified leader unlike other nobles, he also compromised with reality over the years. Lord Mizuki, who does not have extraordinary strength, at least retains a calm and clear mind, and when the rumors of Ammon reached the ears of Lord Mizuki, and Lord Mizuki did not know who spread it, the first order he gave was to inform them of a message from all the stupid and heckling bastards who had burned their brains.
All those who talk about Enola behind their backs will be counted by the lord on a list, and he will then hand over the list to Enola himself. What will happen to Enola when the time comes, but it has nothing to do with him. The nobles who were talking a lot behind Enola's back immediately shut up when they received the size of the lord, and finally didn't dare to say anything more, and those characters who had no identity. Lord Mizuki directly handed over these trivial matters to his civilian officials to deal with.
"Madam, it is our honor to have you in our city of water and wood." The man dressed in dark green long-distance running, holding his wife's arm, smiled gently: "Luo Daia and I only came to visit the two of you today, please don't be surprised." A few days ago, I saw that you and your friends just came to the city of Mizuki, and they must need to rest and relax, and it would be inappropriate to disturb you, hehe. ”
At night, a man dressed in a loose dark green robe. With a soft smile on his face, he took his wife's hand. The years have left wrinkles on the face of this elegant and handsome man, and he stands tall, his eyes exuding a soft and kind temperament, and the left chest of his dark green robe is engraved with a family crest in the shape of vines. This is the lord of the city of Mizuki, Oren. Shasloch, Lord Oren is nearly forty years old, and by his side is his only wife, Lord Lodaia's wife.
The lord's wife, dressed in a white gauze dress, looked to be less than thirty years old. Her white and delicate skin was more seductive than that of many maidens, and her eyebrows were delicate with a hint of charm, and the lord's wife had beautiful long purple hair, and long hair as beautiful as lilac satin like hers. is rare.
Today, the lord's wife and her husband came to meet Enola, the most famous hero of mankind, who had no makeup, and her faint and charming face was plain to the sky, and the lord's wife had the most natural face. to show the heroine his closest kindness.
Speaking of Enola, in terms of combat, she can fight a city's troops alone, but when it comes to verbal communication, it is not her strong point. Emotional intelligence has always been Enola's hard flaw, and this aspect is also Jory's flaw, but Jory can be better than her, at least there is no communication barrier, and he knows what to say at this time to respond to the lord couple.
Enola looked at the two couples, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello, I'm ......"
Jory, who was beside her, secretly gave her a look, but Enola, a hero who didn't know what the look of the eyes was, continued to say it.
"My friend and I thank you and your wife for your hospitality, if you don't ......," Enola said, and according to Jory's understanding of her, it is estimated that the next sentence will be an eviction order.
it! When you go to someone else's house, you have to talk to them about it! If you don't say anything, you will invite people to leave...... Oh, I'm sorry I'm tired, but you can go if you don't have anything to do?
Jory is really speechless about Enola's communication cognition.
Seeing that Enola didn't notice his eyes, Jory put his hands behind his back and secretly pinched Enola. Enola didn't even pretend to be tactful, she turned her head very upright, and looked at the hand behind her that was pinching her arm with a puzzled gaze.
How can I honor Jory's complicated feelings at this moment...... He almost laughed bitterly in his heart.
This is a wooden girl with explosive combat power, call her again when you fight, it's better to give her an apple and let her tease Sauron...... No, Enola couldn't control Sauron's cry begging for food, and she couldn't be left alone with Sauron, and Sauron would be fed to death by Enola.
In short, Jory quietly pulled Ino behind him, he stepped forward, and in Enola's bewildered eyes, Jory bent down slightly with one hand on his chest according to the etiquette of human communication, and expressed his sincerity in this gesture, and said to the lord: "The two of us have nowhere to go, you can provide us with a temporary shelter, and Enola and I would like to thank you for your generosity." ”
As he said this, Jory's gaze remained the same as that of the lord. However, at this time, Lord Oulun's eyes were a little blank and seemed to be out of focus, giving people a feeling of impoliteness. Lady Lodaia, who was holding the lord's arm, immediately took Jory's words, she smiled with a faint and charming cheek, and smiled softly: "The two of you haven't eaten tonight, my husband and I have prepared a dinner, will you come with Lady Enola?" ”
Enola didn't think about it and said, "I won't ...... this."
With a wrong step, Jory bumped Enola lightly, and he raised his voice and said quickly, "Thank you so much, ma'am, we will be there on time!" ”
"That ......," Enola seemed to want to say something.
But what she ushered in was Jory's sharp eyes that turned her head to look at her, and she swallowed Enola's words back.
It was neither a threat nor a persecution, and Jory expressed his decision to Enola face to face, and he silently told Enola that he needed to attend the dinner invited by the lord because of something important.
Sent away the lord and his wife. Jory casually said that he would go to the bathroom, and Enola took it seriously. He turned a few corners and found a place where no one was around, and Jory bent down and bit his wrist, spilling blood on the ground, one hand pressing the strange flow of blood, as if not to let it react too violently.
In the strange wriggling pool of blood, a red book inlaid with black dragon metal inlay slowly floated up...... Demon Source.
"Master, can I make a humble offer before you pick me up?" The idea of the demon Gentoshi sounded in Jori's mind.
Qiao Li didn't say a word and picked up the Demon Source: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Demon Primor said solemnly, "Could you please not put me and Miss Sauron together?" ”
Ever since Jory adopted Sauron by default. Sauron's position in Castlevania has become subtle, for example, the way the Demon Source has called Sauron has changed.
Flipping through the cover of the Demon Source Codex, Jory said casually, "If you can't help me, I'll consider putting you in Sauron's arms, just as she was in the teething phase." ”
"Master, there seems to be some misunderstanding about the point I talked to you......"
"Do you have an opinion?"
"No ......"
As he flipped through the Demon Source Codex, he leaned on Jory's shoulder and read the book with him. Jory reads mostly the font content. Dotted it, it stared at the Demon Source with relish, and all it could see was illustrations.
Shadow Street sent the Shadow Demon to lurk in Mizuki City, and the four that Jory encountered were not necessarily all of the undercover troops, but hopefully before Shadow Street did anything in the shadows. Jory can find some clues from the encyclopedia of the Demon Source Codex, and it is best to find some clues in advance.
For example, the history of the city of water and wood, the secrets of the city of water and wood......
A city like this that is dressed up more beautiful than flowers. The walls were all used to make decorative vehicles, and Jory was really curious to taunt the demon so much. For what kind of water and wood city can still be preserved.
……
Back in the dormitory, Lord Oren waved away the maid, leaving him and his wife alone in the softly lit hall.
"That's called Jory. Maupassant's relationship with Enola is very unusual, and his friendship with Enola is at least above that of ordinary friends! As soon as the maid was dismissed, the lord's face tensed instantly, and he said to Lady Lodeya: "I have heard rumors outside, and many people say that Mr. Jory is Josel, but I don't think so. ”
"I'm only thirty-seven years old this year, and I wasn't born at the time of Josser's death, although I've seen Josser's portrait, but after all, real people have conflicts with portraits, and we can't judge a person's identity by portraits, and from the exchange just now, I didn't see at all that Mr. Jory was similar to the rumored Jossell's personality, and the rumored Jossell, he never disdained disguise, and never changed his name."
"Coupled with the holy relics stored by Camelot, the vampire slayer has been confirmed to have lost its owner and has been restored to its original form, and the news of Joselle's death does not seem to be fake, so ...... The probability that he is Josel is less than one in ten, then, Jory. Maupassant's origin is very intriguing, and someone who can be so familiar with Enola, heh......"
By the time Lord Oren had spoken these words to his wife, he had already begun to think about how to investigate Jory without being discovered.
Back in the previous contact with Jory, Olen. Powell had already concluded that Ammon was absurd, and his seemingly impolite eyes were stunned, not because Lord Oren was naturally stupid, but because he deduced Jory's origin in his mind with an extremely quick way of thinking, and in the seconds that his eyes were glazed, Lord Oren had already got the answer he wanted.
None of the people in power who can sit on the throne of lords are straw bales.
Lord of Dolambia, Morpheus. Saiah's ruthlessness, in order to pull out the cancer, he can say the order of his niece to let her rest if she resists. Even his niece who is related by blood, as long as it is a cancer, Morpheus can kill him, and the bloody sacrifice has never been put in Morpheus's eyes.
And this Lord of Oren in the City of Water and Wood, he does not have the ruthlessness and decisiveness of Morpheus, and he does not have the force comparable to that of an elite saint, but Lord Oren has a wisdom that Morpheus does not have, and he is more like a leader of the intellectual faction.
None of these human lords are simple characters. Although Oren is now forced to compromise with other nobles under pressure, his brain will never stop working because of the pressure of the nobles, and he will not become a straw bag who only knows how to enjoy himself like them.
"Honey, I think it's time for you to relax." Lady Lodaia stroked the side of her husband's face: "Thinking all the time will make you exhausted, don't forget to entertain Lady Enola tonight." ”
"Let's just a few of us at today's dinner, don't call those young masters and ladies, it's too tiring to deal with those guys who are different from the outside......" Lord Olen, who looked sluggish, came to the bedside with the support of his wife, and Mrs. Lodaia personally took off the long-distance run for her husband, helped him to the bedside, and rubbed his forehead very intimately.
While relieving her husband's pressure, Lady Lodia comforted her understandingly: "You are supporting the entire Shuimu City, you are the pillar of the city, without you, the Shuimu City would have collapsed a long time ago...... Countless pressures weigh on your shoulders, how can you not get tired. ”
In this sentence of the lord's wife, three points are embellished, and seven points are all expressions of the lord's dedication and his efforts.
And it is precisely in this way that when a man is most tired, he can re-inject a force into a man's heart and give him the strength to persevere.
"Heh......" Lord Oulun couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he slowly grabbed Madame's hand, and his tired expression showed a gentle smile: "Without you, I really don't know what I would have done, Lodaia, what do you think...... Am I a qualified lord? After the gentleness, Ouren's eyes gradually dimmed.
Lodaia sat on the edge of the bed, she stretched out her arms around her husband's neck from behind, and whispered softly in Ou Lun's ear: "You dare to go against the will of the family, you joined the preparation army at the age of sixteen, and since then you will no longer interact with the family, and will not accept any help from the family. ”
"You have shown your value with your own ability and intelligence, and the day you sat on the throne of the lord, it was not the pawns of the Powell family who sat on the throne, but the lord of Oren who proved the results with his own efforts, and I saw your efforts and tiredness."
Ou Lun smiled faintly, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly: "Heh......"
"Don't think too much, the Council of Elders and nobles are deeply entrenched in various territories, let alone this city of water and wood where the nobles are full of hands? Even you can't stand up to the Presbyterian Church alone. Luo Daia paused for a moment, then said in a firm voice, "But I believe that as long as you don't give up, one day you will reverse the status quo in Mizuki City." ”
"I will, I...... Yes! Oren closed his eyes and sighed with relief, he was half-lying in his wife's arms, and said softly, "It's great to have you with me, ...... Lodeya."
Sitting on the edge of the bed with her husband in her arms, Lodaia stared at the blood moon outside the window with her empty eyes.
"Take a break before the dinner begins, my love."
Lodaia looked out the window with her empty eyes, and she soothed her husband's forehead with one hand, and after a long time, Lady Lodaia let out a small sigh that only she could hear. (To be continued......)
