Chapter 59: The Dinner
According to tradition, Warrent first toasted the elders of the family who were older than him, and this time, he called Marlena to accompany him, intending to take the opportunity to let her and the members of the family get to know each other.
Before toasting, Marlena quietly activated the Enchanting Crystal, and maintained it in a low-power mode for a long time. Anyone who knows a little magic can manipulate this hedron. People who are completely unable to sense magic power are also extremely rare in the entire continent.
Therefore, even a beginner like Marina, whose magic power is not even at the silver level, can easily control this blue-level crystal.
The gentle mana of steady output on the crystal did not attract anyone's attention.
Warrent first came to Vincent, the old man who had made great contributions to the Snow Castle family, and was the same generation as Warrent's grandfather, so Warrent gave him the respect he deserved.
Even with the blessing of the charm crystal, Vincent didn't show a good face in front of Marina, and in the face of the toast between the two, he only raised his glass and responded coldly.
After a circle, Marlena had already gotten to know the elders of the clan. Warrent didn't tell Marlena who was the killer of her mother, but Marlena could tell a thing or two from her attitude.
In front of these spirits, the bonus effect of the crystal can only be said to be better than nothing.
Next are the family members of Warrent's generation and the old retainers of Snow Castle, such as Warrent's own brother Justin, as well as David, Victor and others who already know him.
Warrent's father gave birth to only three children, and in addition to Warrent and Justin, there was also an aunt who married away from the Imperial City. At this time, the effect of the crystal began to show, and even the people on the conservative side left a better impression on Marina.
It is worth mentioning that Vorent's four companions, Marina has no opinion on Valente's romance, after all, in this era, people in high positions usually have more than one partner. In order for the family to prosper, it is also necessary to have multiple children.
Marlena could barely tell the twins Lisa and Aisha. Because in addition to the different colors of their clothes, the voices, speaking speeds, and expressions of these two people are extremely similar, and even the magic fluctuations on their bodies seem almost the same to her - listening to Warrent, both of them are golden fifth-order magicians, the difference is only that Lisa majored in fire magic while Aisha majored in ice magic.
The attitude of the two towards Marlena can only be said to be in line with etiquette with a hint of cordiality, which makes Marlena feel that it is enough.
As the youngest wife, Wendini and the other three are simply two styles of painting. If the three of them are still charming ****, then this Wentini looks only thirty years old at most, not at all like the mother of a ten-year-old boy.
"I'm sorry Kyle caused you trouble......"
For Kyle's incident, it can be seen that Wendini is apologetic, and after Warrent's introduction, Wendini apologizes to Marlena again and again. If it weren't for Kyle's sneaking out of the garden after the party began, then Wentini would have apologized to Marlena by now.
Although she was trembling with anger at the time, Marlena had already calmed down now, and what she was carrying could not be overwhelmed by some verbal attacks?
In short, Marina's impression of Wentini is not bad.
As Warrente's nominal wife, Vivien had a lot to do at the dinner party, and it was difficult for her to take a break from socializing.
"Sure enough, you look a lot like your mother. ”
As soon as she saw Marina, Vivien smiled and spoke.
In Marina's surprised expression, Warrent explains, "Vivien was also a fan of your mother, and we fought over Mary's bounty......
"Well, I chased Warrent all over the street...... "Vivien chuckled.
Warrent coughed lightly, as if trying to put the matter on hold in order to maintain his majesty as a father.
Marlena smiled awkwardly and politely, even if she was middle-aged, she had a young age.
To Marina's surprise, Vivien was actually a Golden Tenth-Order magician, so it was no wonder that she had the experience of chasing Warrent all over the streets...... After all, Warrent's main focus was to learn how to be a ruler rather than a strong man.
When it was his turn to meet the younger generation in the family, Vorant naturally did not accompany him. Instead, it was Balot, who took the initiative to ask for help.
It is said that it is the younger generation, but in fact, there are only a few people. In addition to the six brothers and sisters, there are some outstanding young people in the collateral line. As for the others, they are not so qualified to let the eldest lady of a duke's family get acquainted with them personally.
Roland and Shirley had already removed the red medallion from their chests and slipped out into the garden. For them, the people there were more interesting than the ones in the house, so Marlena didn't have a chance to make contact with them.
Marlena finally had a chance to find a place to rest, and some guests wearing various medals came up in line.
As a new member of the Snow Castle family, Marlena was naturally the focus of those guests, and of course Marlena could not refuse to talk to them with a high profile. Although everyone came over and could only say a few words, the large number of people also made Marlena a a little overwhelmed. Even Barot, who was with her, had the urge to slip away.
At this time, the garden is already staggered, pushing cups and changing lamps. This kind of dinner party is something that these people who are trying to struggle for the upper class can not find, and it is very beneficial for them to increase their knowledge and expand their contacts, and at the same time, it is also a channel to enter the upper class of society in disguise.
In the garden, people try to show their best side, in order to find a soulmate, or be discovered by Bole. They also knew that in this crowd, there might be dignitaries who dressed up as ordinary guests for fun.
Although people are immersed in social interactions, Ellie, who has been staying at the table and constantly eating, is too much to attract people's attention.
It's hard for people to imagine that in a high-profile banquet that wants to get a few more people, there will be such a special existence for eating, although the food is indeed delicious, but this kind of behavior is too abnormal, right?
Some people will take a curious look at it, and then be impressed by Ellie's appearance, but because of her abnormal behavior, they dare not come forward to make friends. So now, no one has noticed the orange medal on her body that has not been taken off.
"Uh...... Su Wen, isn't it good to eat like this all the time?" Ellie noticed the curious eyes of others as she raised her head to drink the juice: "I always feel like they're looking at me......"
"Do you think it's good to be watched, or are you surrounded by people in the middle, constantly asking you questions, so that you can't be idle until the banquet is over?"
“...... Of course it's the former, right?"
"Then you can keep it that way. ”
"Oh. ”
