Chapter 68: A Guest at the Manor

The nobles of the Rhine are reserved and reserved, even if they exaggerate your beauty, and at most they do a kiss.

As soon as Liu Ci saw off Rachel, a team of people rode horses out of the field, and the middle-aged man in the lead turned over and dismounted, and the cloak tied around his neck flew away, he was very excited and grabbed Liu Ci's wrist, and his deep eyes were full of tears:

"Rachel, I'm your Uncle Alex!"

It was a very attractive uncle's face, even if Liu Ci was not Rachel herself, if she was a real twenty-eight girl, she would definitely be blushing at this time.

Liu Aci laughed "fluttering":

"It's not dark yet, this uncle wants to kidnap me?"

She really wanted to give face to Mr. Marquise, and she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the tears in the other party's eyes. Perhaps it was because she lived in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and preconceived that Mr. Marquis, who had a good reputation, that he was "loyal and treacherous", and others revealed their true feelings, and Liu Ci only acted as a marquis.

Liu Ci put away his smiling face and replied very seriously to Mr. Marquis, who revealed his true feelings:

"It's rude, but you really recognized the wrong person, sir."

The middle-aged man was disappointed, "Rachel Cappado Lorenz, don't you remember Uncle Alex?" ”

Liu Ci made an expression that he tried to recognize, and shook his head in the expectation of Mr. Marquis.

She was very sure of the other party's identity from the first time they met, with the same silhouette as Claude, and a neat team of knights, of course, only the lord of Rhine City, Marquis of Strave.

Uncle Erix, Erix Striff?

The marquis was devastated, and when he let go of Liu Ci's wrist, he smiled bitterly: "If you look closely, you and my hard-working niece Rachel do look different...... Hey, I wanted to tell her about the Countess. ”

News from the Countess? If it is the real Rachel, no matter how her appearance changes, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down after Mr. Marquise's words. Countess Lorenz, isn't the Grand Magician Quiline Cappado dead, Liu Ci's mind only turned, she was not Rachel, although she was very curious about the truth about the "treason" of the Lorenz family six years ago, it did not mean that she had the responsibility to care about everyone in the Lorenz family!

Monsieur Marquis saw that she did not react in particular, and this time he was really disappointed.

"I was reckless, and I hope it's too late to introduce it. Erix Striff, it's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful young lady. ”

The etiquette of the aristocratic women of Rhine City squatting slightly in their skirts is not suitable for her to wear Chinese ladies' clothes, so Liu Ci just smiled and said:

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Lord Castle."

Mr. Marquis, who has no water in his eyes, is personable, and his gestures are full of manly charm:

"Beautiful young lady, can you be invited to Stlev Manor and give me a chance to make up for the abruptness?"

Liu Ci's face was stiff with a smile, and Mr. Marquis, who was too enthusiastic, was charming, and when she met a girl like her who didn't like men to scatter peach blossoms around, she was very anxious to deal with.

"Miss Ci, the better time for you and Mr. Garland is coming up."

Seeing Liu Ci's embarrassment, Lydia, who had been silent beside her, suddenly interjected firmly.

Lydia's behavior was rude to the nobles, and given her unsmiling female swordsmanship, the knights who followed the Marquis of Strave struggled.

It was still the long-sleeved and dancing Marquis who took the initiative to defuse the awkward atmosphere, "Oh, is this lady talking about Stull Garland?" He's a very good young man in the Rhine, and he's a good friend of my only son, Claude, so maybe you could invite him to Stlev Manor? I hope this lovely young man will give me a face as an old man. ”

The invitation of the city lord, Liu Ci can also "refuse reservedly" with the natural advantage of occupying the identity of a woman, and Stull Garland still wants to develop in Rhine City, so he can't refuse.

The Marquis of Strave was determined to "invite" her to the manor, and Liu Ci blinked his eyes:

"Hope it doesn't bother you."

The Marquis laughed heartily, "It's good that I didn't scare you, to be honest, you are very similar to my long-lost niece, and you are very kind at first sight." ”

Liu Ci smiled, turned to Lydia and said, "You go back first, and ask Steward James to prepare a gift, don't let me go to the city lord's house empty-handed as a guest." ”

Lydia looked down and said yes.

The marquis instructed his men to find a carriage, but Liu Ci politely refused.

"Just have a horse."

Procrastination is not Liu Ci's character, no matter what the purpose of Mr. Marquis's insistence on inviting her to Streiff Manor, since there is no way to refuse, then accept it calmly.

Lydia followed her as a drag, and Liu Ci sent her back to Champagne Boulevard.

She was already very neatly on horseback, she looked delicate and weak, no matter what she said and acted there was a heroic spirit, the marquis looked at her for a while, obviously only a teenager young face did not see anything abnormal.

is not a magician, and he can't see any traces of his cultivation of fighting spirit, and his dressing behavior is incompatible with the noble women of Rhine City, and he really looks like an ordinary girl who has moved in from a foreign country.

But if it's really an ordinary girl, where did she get a batch of good potions?

In the face of the invitation of the lord of a city, being able to pamper and not be shocked is in itself an "abnormality".

The Marquis and Liu Ci rode to the Strif Manor, opposite the city gate, and he talked and laughed loudly, hiding all his suspicions about Liu Ci.

The knights brought by the marquis followed far behind, and the flow of people in and out of the city gate became natural again.

Lydia stood in place with the reins, and as soon as Liu Ci saw Rachel and George leave, the city lord appeared, which was too much of a coincidence.

At this time, the female captain not only wanted to catch up with Rachel and George, but also worried about whether Liu Ci would be in any danger.

She didn't know Rachel's identity, and she didn't know anything about Liu Ci, and she didn't understand how the four members of the adventure team woke up in the Rhine City of the Spur Empire.

Lydia sighed, "Miss Ci" had too many secrets on her, and she really couldn't do anything.

Disappointed, Lydia returned to the city.

…………

Steward James was quick to move, and the gift he had prepared almost arrived at Stryff Manor with Stuart Garland.

The two bottles of champagne in the tin box are very suitable for the name of Champagne Boulevard, worth nearly a thousand gold coins, which makes Liu Ci, who has always spent money lavishly, a little painful.

You must know that in the city of Rhine, the commoners did not have their own land, so they could only rent land in the name of the nobles for a living, and work as hired laborers in the properties under the names of the nobles, becoming small traders.

The purchasing power of Spur Gold is very strong.

1 gold coin can provide a family of three with more than half a month's rations, Liu Ci only needs to pay an additional 2 gold coins per month, and only 4 gold coins can invite the best florist in the city. The old butler James is also an elite in the industry, with a weekly salary of only 5 gold coins and an annual salary of 240 gold coins, which is already a high-income person among the civilians.

The potions that Liu Ci collected under the guidance of the Gugu Bird were sold for nearly 40,000 gold coins in total.

It cost more than 8,000 gold coins to buy the apartment at 18 Champagne Avenue, and the last banquet was held with extravagant white truffles and "Les Jin" wine, and all the expenses did not exceed 2,000 gold coins for the whole night.

The guests brought their families, adding up to more than a hundred people's food and wine, and now the two bottles of wine that James gave to the Marquis of Strave are worth nearly a thousand gold coins, Liu Ci does not intend to please the city lord, all of them feel expensive.

After thinking about it, she herself was surprised, Liu Jia's Aci actually began to calculate the expenses, if the news can be transmitted back to the Earth Federation, it will surprise a group of people to ensure that it is okay.

Has it really changed?

Liu Ci was a little distracted, and at the end of his sight was Claude Striff, the Knight of Light was deeply embarrassed by her long-term gaze, and he was sorry and left for a while.

The small terrace hill surrounded the scent of roses, and seeing Claude leave, Stull Garland finally had a chance to come forward:

"Boss, you are so strong, in a blink of an eye, you will be mixed up in Streiff Manor, and even I will be stained."

Since seeing Adeline's "bad luck" at the banquet that night, Stull Garland believes that Liu Ci is a very hidden master, and calls her "boss" all day long without skin and face, and Liu Ci also lets it go.

Being invited by a marquis is "strong", and Liu Ci didn't bother to disguise when there was no one around, so he immediately sneered:

"I'm afraid that there is no good banquet!"
