Chapter 10: The Dinner Party

"Sir, Madame Mandy has just sent her maid to the evening dinner, and here are some of the dresses that the maid has brought with her. In his left hand, Boris held a large wooden tray with a number of clean aristocratic dresses.

Li Xuan looked at a pile of aristocratic costumes a little speechlessly, a little bit of a feeling that he didn't know where to start, he was not good at these costumes and etiquette, and the owner of this body, Pisfer, was not a mage who was keen on aristocratic culture.

"Boris, just leave these clothes away, it looks like a nuisance, I just want to take a shower quickly. Li Xuan commanded.

"The maid has prepared hot water, and you can go and wash it in a moment. Boris put the tray on the table.

After a while, the maid Willy reappeared, followed by two young and young maids. She bowed to Li Xuan and said, "Sir, the bathroom has prepared hot water, please come with me." ”

Li Xuan followed the maid to the bathroom next door, which was different from the bathroom he imagined, the bathroom space was very large, in the middle was a volcano-shaped bathtub more than one meter high, which looked very large, made of stone, surrounded by circular steps, and in the middle was a large wooden barrel, which was already filled with hot water, and there were 7 or 8 smaller wooden barrels filled with hot water in the bathroom, and there were two rows of stone platforms on both sides, with clean linen bath towels.

After Li Xuan stood up, two young maids came forward one on the left and one on the right, and they wanted to help Li Xuan take off his clothes.

"Okay, you guys go out, I'm used to bathing alone. Li Xuan pretended to be serious, but even so, he still felt very embarrassed.

Seeing the two young maids being stopped, Villely led the two out of the bathroom with a strange expression.

After confirming that several people had left, Li Xuan exhaled, took off his clothes, and after testing the water temperature, he lay in comfortably and squinted his eyes.

Boris, who was not far from the door, saw the two young maids retreating and was about to leave, so he quickly ran up to them and shouted to the two of them, "Hey, you wait here, after the gentleman has taken a bath, serve the gentleman to change his clothes, and then take the gentleman back to the room to rest." ”

The two maids nodded respectfully and waited, obediently standing at the door of the bathroom.

After taking a comfortable bath for a while, Li Xuan's whole body was in good spirits, and then under the costumes of the two maids, he put on the aristocratic dress specially prepared for him.

This is a reddish-brown dress without a noble rank, well-made, exquisite texture, and the material of the underwear is also extremely soft, far more comfortable than the coarse linen leather armor worn by the mercenaries before.

After the maid put on a dark green robe for Li Xuan, she signaled that the dressing was over, Li Xuan looked at his clothes under the iron mirror in the bathroom, and he was quite satisfied with the novelty, that is, the dressing process was a little complicated, and he had some resistance to the fact that he had to be served by a professional maid.

Then Li Xuan followed the two maids back to the previous room and waved them to leave, and then the whole person lay down on the bed, closed his eyes comfortably, and felt the countless magical elements around him as a high-level mage, this is really an extremely magical thing, after the soul is reincarnated, Li Xuan will close his eyes every day to feel these magic elements, this way in this world, mages call it "meditation".

Meditation is a necessary process for mages to feel and establish a sense of magic elements, most mages are through meditation to deepen the intimacy with magic elements, so as to mobilize magic elements for casting, junior mages not only need a lot of meditation, but also need to rely on a lot of spell casting materials and lengthy spells to cast, and as the intimacy between mages and magic elements deepens, the speed and efficiency of spell casting will also increase, and high-level mages can easily cast spells quickly through mental power and spell casting gestures.

As a half-elf with a paternal bloodline, Li Xuan's body has an unusually high degree of intimacy with magical elements, so high that when Li Xuan closes his eyes and meditates for a while, he can immediately sense the existence of colorful magical elements around him. This is unimaginable for ordinary mages.

Whether it is an elven mage or a human mage, if you want to enter a meditative state, you must first calm the distracting thoughts in your mind and then mobilize the magic power in your body before you can slowly sense the magic element, the faster the mage enters the meditative state, the more intimate the intimacy with the magic element, and the stronger such a mage is.

The time immersed in the world of meditation passed very quickly, and in a trance, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened his eyes, Li Xuan found that it was completely dark outside, and he estimated the time, and he meditated for about 2 or 3 hours.

"Come in. Li Xuan said.

With a "squeak", Boris pushed the door in, bowed his head and said, "Sir, the dinner at the castle is about to begin, and the viscount has asked me to invite you to it." ”

"Well, got it, let's go. Li Xuan walked out of the door and found that the two maids who had served him in clothes just now were also at the door, and they seemed to be waiting in the corridor outside.

Candles have been lit in the corridor. Because of the small number, the corridor seems a little gray, not long to walk, the light in front of the brighter and brighter, the noisy sound is louder and louder, and finally to a bright and lively hall, there are 4 long tables in the huge hall, just like the four in the mahjong tile in the orderly display, the crowd is scattered throughout the hall, most of them are dressed gorgeously and imposingly, men and women are drinking and talking, or laughing softly.

The whole hall was full of people, Li Xuan didn't see Viscount Orin, nor did he see Lady Mandy, only saw Vivian, who was wearing an off-white aristocratic dress, stopped communicating with others and ran towards him happily.

Seeing Vivian running towards him, Li Xuan was a little helpless, this run quickly attracted a lot of attention, and everyone followed the daughter of the viscount to find Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, who is of half-elf blood, is extremely handsome, and under the well-fitting dress, the whole person exudes an aura full of charm. Being watched by everyone, Li Xuan was a little unaccustomed, but he didn't make any other moves, just continued to slowly walk to a nearby dining table.

"Teacher!" Vivien quickly trotted up to Li Xuan, respectfully and seriously lifted the hem of her skirt and made a lady's salute.

Li Xuan nodded, picked up the plate and fork from the table, forked some food from the table and began to eat.

Ignoring Vivian's resentful eyes, Li Xuan looked at the plate and fork in his hand while eating, this was the first time he had eaten with silverware, both the plate and the fork workmanship were quite exquisite, although there was some wear, but it did not affect the appearance, the lines on and below the plate were very clear, the fork was a slender four-toothed fork, and the two-piece set was quite weighty in the hand.

Vivian on the side innocently saw Li Xuan ignoring herself for a while, concentrating on eating, walked to the side, cut off a piece of roasted tender and juicy goose leg meat on the dining table next to her, and after putting it on the plate, she turned around and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan saw the goose meat handed over by Vivian, he didn't refuse, forked it up, stuffed it into his mouth and ate it, nodding his head while eating it to indicate that it tasted great. Vivian saw Li Xuan's affirmative eyes, and happily surrounded the dining table to introduce Li Xuan to various delicious dishes.

Many people in the hall noticed that the proud viscount's daughter was respectfully serving a handsome man, with different expressions, and several young nobles who had surrounded Vivien before also gathered around to look at Vivien's side while talking in a low voice with an indignant expression.

The second son and the third son of the viscount were drinking and talking with several nobles of the same age not far away, and the group also noticed the situation on Li Xuan's side, and one of them couldn't help but ask curiously: "Luma, who is the man next to your sister?"

Lu Ma looked at Li Xuan, remembering what his father said to his brother Noah, and at the same time feeling grateful to Li Xuan, a mysterious and powerful water magician!

"Luma!" Seeing that Luma was a little distracted and didn't respond to him, the man shouted and slapped him at the same time.

Realizing her faux pas, Luma smiled apologetically, took a big sip of the wine glass, and said with a smile, "That's Vivien's new teacher." ”

"New teacher?" someone asked.

"Yes, the new teacher. Lu Ma's eyes looked at Li Xuan again, with some awe in his expression.

"What can he teach this guy at such a young age?" someone asked again.

Luma looked back at the crowd and said with a rare seriousness, "It won't be long before you know." ”

Everyone faintly felt that what Lu Ma said seemed to have another deep meaning, and then looked at Li Xuan's gaze, all of which changed, and no longer discussed.

When Li Xuan was a magician, Viscount Olin gave a gag order to anyone in the know, strictly prohibiting those who knew about it from spreading the matter to the outside world. And the mercenaries, under Kassan's orders, did not dare to divulge this matter, out of Kassan's prestige, they also feared the name of Li Xuan's magician.

In the eyes of the little nobles, magicians are all scarce and extremely powerful existences, even sixth-order godly knights, they can only bow their heads in front of magicians. For example, the mages in the magic guild in Carouston City are very few, there are only four mages in total, not only that, except for the president Giroud, who is an intermediate mage, the other three are only junior mages, but even so, the status of the magic guild is also very high, and it belongs to the chief magic guild of the Arissanrite Empire.

There were many other nobles in the hall whispering about Vivien and the handsome and mysterious man beside her.
