Chapter 525: The Sinister Aristocrat
"Hello!"
Downton smiled, and his eight neat white teeth dazzled everyone.
The aristocratic ladies found that the big boy in front of them was still so handsome and sunny, although there was some smell of dirt buns from a small place, but it set off the closeness of the boy next door, unlike the kind of mental vigilance, estrangement and inferiority complex that existed when other nobles interacted.
"The battle of the Lava Secret Realm, Your Excellency has opened my eyes, I don't think I haven't seen you for many months, your rank has risen so quickly. โ
Dupont walked up to Downton as if he were familiar with him, reached out and smacked his chest, feeling as deep as an old friend for many years.
"Who is this young man?"
"Idiot, you don't know the genius of the Dupont family of the Kuta Magic Empire, are you embarrassed to say that you are in the noble circle?"
"What about Downton, isn't he the Duke of a third-rate country, and how did he get involved with Dupont?"
The onlookers whispered, they were not as scheming as the elders of the family, so their thoughts were all on their faces.
"No, I haven't heard of a Duke of Sequoia in Frankfurt. โ
"It shouldn't be fake, and the Guise family is not stupid, you see the master's attitude towards him. โ
"Wait, I heard that there was a big battle in Frankfurt recently, and a commoner killed Placido, the Duke of the West, and became a duke, can't it be him?"
"It can't be wrong, it must be him, otherwise the Guise family wouldn't treat him like this!"
Frankfurt is just a third-rate country, its influence is too small, and Downton's prestige of killing super beasts is relatively crazy among the magicians, and the nobles still don't know much about it, after all, the two are not in the same circle, that is, the Frankfurt territory only knows a little more. Because it involves business and other activities.
"Seeing how you are behaving now, I find that Torres is not unjustly dead!" DuPont casually pulled the homely routine, "Let's go, go have a drink!"
Seeing Dupont, who came from a proud aristocracy, treated a new nobleman like this, and even snubbed Wutterford, everyone thought it was incredible. Began to inquire about Downton.
"Watch out for DuPont, this guy is insidious!"
Seeing Downton and Dupont talking happily, Homer suddenly interjected.
"Huh?"
Downton was puzzled, glanced at Dupont without a trace, and had to say that the education that Dupont and Wutterford received was incomparable to him, and the topic chosen by the former made him feel like he had met a confidant no matter what, and he would not feel bored not to talk about it, and wanted to talk to him more.
Next to Wutterford, he is also quite a gentleman. He didn't answer, but the occasional interjection was just right, and of course, the most important thing was that neither of them looked down on him because of Downton's status.
"You underestimate the aristocracy too much, the acting skills of these two are absolutely mastery, you can't see that it's normal. โ
Cheap god teases.
"It's nothing more than wooing me, right?"
Downton felt that he still had some use value.
"Hehe, you're thinking too highly of yourself, and Wutterford probably meant that. I'm tempting you, though, as for DuPont. It's that I want to kill you. โ
Homer's words made Downton startled, "How come?"
"Do you think DuPont is complimenting you? He's actually killing you. โ
Homer snorted coldly.
"No, those nobles didn't show hostility towards me, did they?"
Downton thought that his observation was still good, but not only the nobles around him, but even Schurrle, who had just fought, did not look too jealous.
"It would be a shame for you to see his secret tricks. โ
Homer was right. DuPont is indeed deliberately adding a dazzling aura to Downton, making him proud, proud, and gradually blinded in all kinds of praise, waiting for a suitable time to give a heavy blow. He's going to fall to pieces.
"The higher you climb, the worse you fall. โ
DuPont muttered to himself that it would be better if someone was jealous of someone who troubled him during Downton's fall.
Until now, DuPont couldn't let go, he didn't see the first element's plan in the Spark Temple, he was deceived by Torres, if Tuo Niu hadn't died, he would have knocked on the door a long time ago, as for Downton, he wasn't sure if this guy intended to stay at the time, or was favored by Lady Luck, and it just so happened that the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, but those didn't matter, he got the first element, and this alone doomed DuPont to kill him.
In the eyes of DuPont, a genius who has hardly experienced failure, Downton is a talent and available, but he wants to kill him more and wash away his failures.
The three of them sat at a round table on the foredeck, and without being instructed, someone had already cleaned it up and brought various pastries and tea.
"Schurrle, pour wine for Downton and make amends. โ
Wutterford commanded lightly.
"For what?"
Schurrle was dissatisfied, how could he bow to others with his identity, if it weren't for his cousin's action, he would have sunk Downton into the sea and fed the shark, but seeing his cousin's fierce eyes and thinking of his terrifying record, he didn't dare to refute, and obediently picked up his wine glass.
"No need, it's your friend who did the wrong, not you. Downton smiled and reached out to hold down the glass, "Actually, I admire your courage to stick a knife in your friend's side. โ
"Really?"
Xu Erle looked happy, it is always a happy thing to be praised by others, not to mention that the other party is strong, and he also has a super beast demon servant like a bone dragon, of course, the most important thing is that Dupont and his cousin are very optimistic about him, he can know the vision of these two, so invisibly, Downton's value has also been raised in his heart.
"Oops!"
Du Pont was tired of dying, but he didn't expect his killing to backfire.
"Ugh!"
Wutterford laughed, his original intention was to let Schurrle apologize for the wine, and then hate Downton, but he didn't expect to underestimate his status in his cousin's heart, but instead gave Downton momentum, of course, this kid's response is also good, it seems that he is a good person.
Let the two people conflict, Wutford can not only test Downton's strength, but also lend a hand when he fails, such a strong reinforcement will be in hand, if he dies, he has nothing to lose, after all, Wutford never needs waste, his men are all elite.
"Hmm? Hu Tao killed his guards, huh?"
Downton had a smile on his face, but he couldn't figure out the style of these nobles, and if his subordinates were killed, he would definitely fight hard.
"In their minds, those subordinates are tools. Servants, if they die, they die, only those top subordinates, they will show a little affection. Homer took the opportunity to teach Downton, "You have to be a nobleman, this is a necessary step." โ
"It's so impersonal. โ
Downton shook his head.
"Who can be sacrificed, how to win over allies, who can be used as a stepping stone for victory. These are all compulsory courses, and there is a lot more to learn. โ
The Cheap God was not satisfied with the recent number of soul sacrifices, and wished that Downton would go on a killing spree.
"What's that warhammer of yours called?
Schurrle felt that Downton was very sensible, and did not gain an inch, allowing himself to save face, and while happy, he focused on the warhammer, even if it was a family like him. There aren't a lot of legendary weapons either, "Can I take a look?"
"It's called the Fire Demon's Hand. Downton took the hammer from the war space and handed it to Schurrle. He can't help it, if he refuses, he will definitely offend Xuerle to death, and he will have a reputation for being stingy.
"It's beautiful!"
Schurrle sighed, but as soon as he caught it, he felt heavy on his hammer. It couldn't catch it at all, it slammed into the deck, and if it hadn't dodged fast enough, its feet would have been swollen.
"Be careful, hiss. It's an epic weapon, isn't it?"
Wutford wasn't a close fighter, so he didn't care much about the hammer, and after glancing at it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"You won't get it in the secret realm, will you?"
Dupont stared at the warhammer and reached for it, his eyes full of regret, jealousy, and then possessiveness.
"Yes!"
Downton sighed, he had avoided revealing the qualities of the Warhammer, but these two had vicious eyes and couldn't hide it at all.
"Be generous, if they dare to rob, let them pay. โ
Cheap God comforts Downton.
"Do you wish they would rob them and I'll kill them and turn them into soul sacrifices?"
Downton rolled his eyes.
"The goddess is on top, it's an epic weapon, it's incredible. Xu Erle exclaimed, and the eyes around him swept straight over.
The Hohenzollern family has a big business, and naturally there are epic weapons, but even if Schurrle is the heir, he is not qualified to touch it, after all, this can be regarded as a town clan arm, but he didn't expect the dukes of a small country to carry it with him.
"They're epic, did I hear me right?"
"You don't look at what kind of characters those people are, they have seen a lot of treasures, how can they be wrong?"
"It seems that Downton is not simple, do you want to wrap it up?"
The nobles had been worried that getting acquainted with Downton would upset Schurrle, but now that they were talking happily, they naturally had an idea.
One more friend is one more way, and there is no loss in getting to know each other anyway.
"Torres is so miserable, this weapon is almost going to become his trophy!"
DuPont is testing Downton and making enemies for him.
"Well, Torres, by the way, you just said he was dead, what's the matter?"
Schurrle frowned, as the champion of the Saint-Gertland Magical Youth Competition, Tuo Niu is a talent recruited by these big families, so she naturally knows the truth, but listening to his words, it seems that she is dead.
"Don't you spend all day loitering, and take care of business, okay?" DuPont teased, "Downton is not simple, he played me and the wolf king, and calmly got the first element, this warhammer is just an addition." โ
"Is this still an addition?" Schurrle was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the first element?"
"It's a powerful elemental creature, that skull dragon just now is not Downton's demon servant, don't look at it as a super beast, but it's a pity that it's not worthy of our genius." โ
Dupont smiled, if it weren't for Homer's reminder, Downton wouldn't have understood his malice at all, his acting skills were too good.
"Isn't it?"
A cold sweat suddenly oozed from Schurrle's forehead, he thought of Downton's response just now, obviously using the first element as a hole card, if he died, he would be unlucky today, no matter how arrogant he was, he didn't have the confidence to deal with two super beasts at the same time.
"Di Lanxue's evaluation of Downton is very high!"
Dupont was another complimentary joke, and Downton keenly noticed that as soon as the word Dilanxue appeared, Schurrle frowned, and his senses instantly lowered a lot, and he was no longer friendly, and even Wutterford, who had been well disguised, was slightly shaken.
"Who is Di Lanxue?"
Downton didn't dare to say that he had seen Lion Ji in the hotel in the morning, otherwise he would have to offend them, these two guys were obviously coveting Lion Ji, so they had to untie the knot, and they couldn't complain because of such a nonsense.
"You don't know the lion Ji?"
Schurrle was stunned, and Wutterford quickly came to his senses, and although he didn't look at Dupont, he had already guessed his thoughts.
"Who is she?
Downton pretended to be confused.
"The leader of the younger generation, the brightest rising star of the mainland, do you say it is powerful? It is estimated that the genius of the Heinrich family can be compared with Dvoลรกk, who has already broken out of the first new star of the mainland. โ
Schurle's face was full of longing, and he saw the appearance of the goddess completely.
Downton noticed that DuPont smiled helplessly when he heard the three names, which was a kind of loneliness and death that he knew that he couldn't catch up with others no matter how much he chased him, as for Wutford, he quietly clenched his fists, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"If the next time I see Di Lanxue, she might invite you. โ
DuPont saw that Downton had resolved Schurrle's hostility and began to re-evaluate him, isn't this guy stupid, he can't even learn this kind of intrigues? He doesn't think that Downton, who was born as a commoner, has a place to hone his scheming, after all, these noble children go through this every day.
"I hope so, but if I want to see her, it must be the Year of the Monkey. Downton lamented, retreating as advancing, "It's not as good as you, you can see people at any time." โ
"Brother, don't be sad, the Lion Queen is not our high-climbing, I heard that the Heinrich family seems to have officially proposed to the Twilight Empire, and it is Di Lanxue who is married. โ
Schurrle sighed, completely sad that the goddess was taken away, in his opinion, with the power of the Heinrich family, this marriage should be unstable.
"Hmph, Heinrich is good, but it's delusional to want to marry the lion queen, she is the eldest princess of the Twilight Empire, and she is likely to inherit the empire in the future. โ
No matter how mature Wutterford is, he is only a twenty-five-year-old young man, and his longing and love for Di Lanxue made him lose his cool for the first time.
"Perhaps!" Schurrle did not dare to disobey his cousin, and digressed the subject, "Torres is dead?" โ
"Guys, what are you talking about, can you let me join?"
Tiger Woods came over with a glass of red wine, and sat down in his chair without waiting for Wutterford's consent.
"Impolite orcs!"
Although Schurrle looked down on Woods's style, he didn't dare to confront him face to face, no way, who would make the family the prince of the Tiger family. (To be continued......)
