CHAPTER XV. The Duke Pleases
After the man's report was brought, the boss led Xiao Yi and him downstairs to see Eric, and Zod, who was full of food and had nothing to do, naturally followed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The hotel chef who was left alone was frightened by this episode, of course he knew what kind of character Eric was in Duke Parker's Mansion, but he didn't see the scene when Eric personally escorted Xiao Yi and the others to live in last night, so naturally he wouldn't know that this kid who looked young would have something to do with the Duke's Mansion.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to provoke Eric who specially instructed the boss to entertain a good guest by borrowing a few of his guts, and he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of his attitude towards Xiao Yi just now.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Eric standing tall in the store, today he was wearing a swordsman's civilian clothes, and the slim style set off the heroic and upright physique, and his face was devoid of the tension and hideousness of yesterday's desperate battle, but it also exuded an unusually masculine and handsome demeanor.
That made Xiao Yi suddenly think of what he had seen on TV before, the legendary superstar known as the "heartthrob" in sports history: put on a battle robe and be a hero who attacked the city, take off his clothes...... Well...... Wearing casual clothes, he is a public lover who fascinates thousands of women with spring.
Xiao Yi stepped forward to greet him warmly, and Eric also smiled, after all, without Xiao Yi's righteous action yesterday, he didn't know if his life could be saved. And more importantly, if the duke's only son suffers any harm because of this, and thus the reputation of the duke's palace is lost, it will be even more difficult to die, so he is very grateful to Xiao Yi.
"I wonder how the guards in the house are recovering?" Xiao Yi's concern made Eric feel even more fond of him, and replied with a smile:
"Master Tuoxiao's blessing, by now even the most serious injury has been healed for the most part, speaking of which the excellent effect of those potions is really the only one I have seen in my life, it must have been made by Your Excellency and Master Ling, it is indeed the master's masterpiece, extraordinary, extraordinary!"
"Hehe, it's just the right time? It's not a big deal. As for the title of master, I dare not take it seriously, Your Excellency the chief of the guard does not need to be too polite to me, just call me by my name. ”
Xiao Yi is humble while blocking his 'cheap teacher', he is not stupid enough to really make people believe that he can be self-taught to such a perverted point, although this is indeed an ironclad fact based on his history of struggle in the game at that time, but sometimes the truth is not easy for people to believe.
Eric was already grateful, and Xiao Yi was very good at using words to cater to each other, so after some talk and laughter, the two of them had become very familiar, and when talking about Xiao Yi's breathtaking fighting style, Eric subconsciously looked at Zod next to him, and glared at him fiercely when he thought that he had made himself suffer such a big loss.
Zod, on the other hand, grinned at him and raised his eyebrows, as if he was deliberately provocative. He understood that Eric's deliberate admiration of Xiao Yi's fighting skills in front of him was actually disgusting him, who let him, the eighth-order top thief with the best skills in all professions, be easily toyed with between applause!
However, Eric's efforts were in vain, and Zod's mentality is very open now, and there is nothing to be ashamed of being defeated by his own boss. Besides, Xiao Yi's strength is something he has personally experienced, and now he will definitely not believe in any nonsense that the alchemist's combat power is too weak, although there is no basis, but he believes that even if Xiao Yi really encounters a saint-level powerhouse, he may not know who will win. Moreover, he is still a wanted criminal in many countries, and the stronger the people who cover him, the better his life will be in the future!
Xiao Yi saw that the two of them couldn't deal with each other, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, is there anything important that my brother is looking for me today?"
"Alas, you see my brain, when I talk about happiness, I forget it......! It's Lord Kerry Parker, I heard that you saved Master Pete, and I have decided to hold a banquet at the Duke's Palace tomorrow night to express my gratitude, and I would like you to come over tomorrow. ”
"The Duke is too polite, but it's really not worth the effort. I feel a little panicked casually, but if I don't agree, it won't be a sign of the Duke's hospitality, please tell the Duke, and I will definitely visit the house tomorrow night. ”
Xiao Yi agreed and suddenly found that Eric was a little speechless, so he asked: "Brother is so hesitant but what is the difficulty of not speaking, although you and I are only meeting for the second time today, we have a very happy conversation, and it is okay to say anything!"
"The Duke specially explained, let ...... Let him be taken to the house as well. With that, Eric turned his gaze to Zod. If it weren't for the fact that his relationship with Xiao Yi had developed so well, he might not have felt so embarrassed as he did now.
No matter what kind of famous powerhouse the other party is, the Duke's Mansion convoy is not good-looking, so it is absolutely intolerable that the culprit will get away with it like this, and if he really wants to bring Zod into the Duke's Palace, he may not know what the end will be. In fact, it is a normal thing to put it in normal times, just to show the strength of the Duke's Palace, and by the way, to deter Xiaoxiao.
But the problem is that now Zode has leaned his head on Xiao Yi's men, and if you use this way to find face, you are slapping Xiao Yi in the face. Even if he wanted to pretend to be confused and convey the invitation, how could Xiao Yi not be able to detect such an obvious intention if anyone with a brain was not smart enough to become an alchemist!
However, to his surprise, Xiao Yi did not show any resentment, nor did he happily agree as he did just now.
"I can't make a decision on this, the most important thing is that I have to ask for his consent!" After speaking, Xiao Yi turned his head to look at Zod.
"Well, you're the boss, I'll do whatever you say!" said Zod, grinning, but his sparkling eyes clearly showed a different emotion.
My teacher once taught me 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' which means that ideas and practices that are unacceptable to oneself should not be imposed on others.
You can commit yourself to me for the sake of a vote of brother, that's how you do it, and I don't force you to do anything, that's my way. Since it involves you, it's up to you whether you go or not!"
After being silent for a long time, Zod suppressed the excitement and emotion in his heart, and then shouted loudly and loudly:
"Go, I'm afraid of a ball! Isn't it just robbing his son, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will pay him for his life!"
And Eric got up suddenly, straightened his body and saluted solemnly to Xiao Yi: "Master Ling is indeed a master of noble character and extremely wise, of course you are also very good, Eric is indeed taught today!"
Although I wish this guy had suffered a lot, I just said to you, 'Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself', and I will do my best to ask the master to open up when necessary!"

The next day, in the evening when the lights were on, a sumptuous carriage drove from the inn in the direction of the Duke's Palace, where a special feast was about to take place......
