"It's rare for a freshman to become a one-star black-robed mage, even in Mannheim. ”

"Ah...... Yes, sir. ”

"Your evening gown is special, which tailor is it from?"

"I designed it, sir. ”

......

The four of them are chatting casually here, you and I.

Brandry intentionally or unintentionally shifted the subject to Norman twice, but Norman behaved unsatisfactorily, either because of nervousness, or because his words were short, and he seemed very reserved and childish, and finally Billy relieved him, saying that Norman was born in a remote place, and it was the first time he came to this kind of occasion, and it was the first time he saw so many big people, so he was so nervous.

Brandy, who had just been interested in Norman and wanted to explore it, was a little lacking in interest, thinking that this was just a tailor with good craftsmanship, and although he was still a mage, he was only a one-star black robe, which was really not something to boast about.

But to his son, Billy, Brandry looked at it twice.

Although he is still not very capable in handling things, his son seems to be better than before, and the progress is obvious, coupled with today's sudden high-profile attendance, changing the style of invisible people in the past, could it be said that he has not seen through his son in the past?......

Unbeknownst to him, it was a change in style that made Billy more confident, which led to a change in his speech, and although the basic literacy was still there, the details had improved, which was a chain reaction. And with Norman's deliberate foil, it's even more obvious.

Both sides needed their own space to socialize, so after a casual chat, Norman and Billy left the area and wandered around.

And as soon as he left the sight of the two big men, Billy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew...... It's really tiring to be around them. ”

Norman nodded in agreement, but in his heart he didn't think so.

He was so nervous just now, all of it was pretended, after all, he had pinched the face of the saint, let the saint, the cardinal priest of the Father's Church obey his orders, and he had also done something to pretend to be the father God, how could he be so nervous when he saw a grand duke?

He did this, partly to fit his current character, and partly to set off Billy's brilliance, to make Brandy notice that his son was different from the past, and at the same time to hide himself so as not to shine too brightly, and then compare it with Billy, which would make the Grand Duke suspicious of him.

"Hey, can I go talk to some young ladies?"

After Billy broke out of the tense situation, his eyes rolled and he aimed at the beautiful ladies present.

However, his outstanding shape and eye-catching effect today were created by Norman, which made him feel so dependent on Norman that if he wanted to talk to the ladies, he had to ask Norman first.

Norman was silent for a moment, listening to the advice of the Knights Templar, when suddenly a voice sounded in front of them.

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Alan. ”

Norman and Billy looked up and saw a man in his twenties standing in front of them, his eyes fixed on Norman, "Why haven't you been to the grave for the past two days?"

Norman knew him, Armstrong Moore, a member of the Skull and Bones Guild with whom he had traded, and did not expect to meet him here.

But after thinking about it, after all, the skeletons are all the elites of the Mannheim elite, and to be able to become an elite, in addition to their own talents, the help of external resources is also very great. The more noble and historic the aristocratic family, the more resources it can provide, and the greater the possibility of creating elites, so it is only natural that you can see the members of the Skull and Bones Society at this gathering of Nicaro's big shots.

Norman greeted him as well, "Good evening, Armstrong, I've been making clothes for Count Billy these two days, so I don't have time to go to the tomb." ”

Armstrong raised his glass to Billy, "Good evening, Mr. Billy." ”

Billy raised his glass to him as well, "Good evening, Mr. Moore." The expression on his face was a little subtle, and it seemed that he, the son of the Grand Duke, felt honored.

This is because although Billy is the son of the Grand Duke, it is obviously impossible for him to inherit the title of Grand Duke, and he has nothing to do, and he is likely to be just an empty earl in the future, without any power and use, this matter is well known in Nicaro's high society, so everyone has no respect for Billy.

On the contrary, Armstrong, although he is only the son of a count, and he is only a baron himself, but he is the elite of the Skull and Bones Society, and he is the leader of the entire Mannheim alchemy, this is a scarce talent, and the future is limitless, and he doesn't like to attend banquets very much, so once he attends, he will be the focus of people.

The focus of the banquet is to take the initiative to greet and talk to an invisible person at the banquet, so it's no wonder that Billy's expression is a little subtle.

"Alan, will you go to the grave tomorrow?"

After greeting Billy politely, Armstrong began to speak to Norman again, but Norman deliberately turned his head around Billy.

"Probably not, I've agreed with Billy tomorrow that I'm going to go horseback riding, maybe you can come along?"

"Oh, yes? May I, Mr. Billy?"

......

Under the on-site teaching of the Templar Order, Norman's words were very inducing, obviously the other party wanted to chat with him, but as a result, Billy was also chatted with him, and the three of them chatted together, but in the eyes of others, they were happy and harmonious.

Finally talked Armstrong away, and before the two of them could take a break, another man came over with a wine glass.

"Hey, Alan,"

The man grinned, revealing eight teeth precisely, one not much, one no less, "I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Same opening words, different characters, this time a beautiful and elegant young lady with sparkling sequins.

Norman was familiar with the young lady, he remembered seeing her in the catacombs, and she was also a member of the Skull and Bones Society, but he couldn't remember her name, but with the Knights Templar there, there was no need to worry about this trivial matter.

"June Rodriguez, a member of the Skull and Bones Society, a two-star black-robed mage, was named 'Mannheim's Most Outstanding Female Student of the Next Twenty Years' by Mentor Hamilton......"

The Knights Templar immediately reported the other party's information, all of which Corwin had introduced him once on the day he joined the Order.

"Good evening, June, you shine tonight. ”

June's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be a little surprised and a little pleased that Norman had only met him once, and smiled and said, "Thank you, you are also handsome today." Then he beckoned to Billy, who was beside Norman, "Good evening, Mr. Billy." ”

Billy was even more excited this time, but he resisted his excitement and pretended to be calm, "Good evening, beautiful Miss June." ”

Juan is a man of the year in Nicaro, not only has a noble family background and is outstanding, but his face and body are still so spicy, which can be called perfect, and he is the absolute focus every time he appears at the banquet......

Norman and Billy stood here and couldn't walk, and walked back and forth, all of them were the young generation of people who had been at various banquets in the past, and they were all star-studded.

And the atmosphere has always been very good, no matter who they talk to, the two of them are chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere is hot, and for a while, the place where the two are standing has become the most eye-catching focus in the entire hall.

This made Grand Duke Brandry see it from a distance, and he was silently thinking about his own thoughts.

And after coping with it for a long time, Norman felt that his mouth was about to run dry, and finally survived until the dance began, and today's protagonist appeared.
