052: Grace!
"Louie...," Roshi didn't react immediately, frowning and muttering
His eyes widened in the middle of the sentence, and he grabbed the old man's shoulders and said in disbelief: "Louis, are you Louis of the Tulip???
The old man nodded kindly, a trace of remembrance seemed to flash in his cloudy old eyes, he nodded with a smile, and gave Luo Xi a confirmed reply: "My lord, do you remember the Tulip... Yes, I am Louis of the Tulip, the down-and-out little nobleman. ”
Roshi's memory of Louis is still stuck in yesterday, the aristocrat with his handsome appearance and slender body, still stuck in the time when he stood heroically standing in the bow of the ship and looking at the coastline.
The old man in front of him looked very weak and weak, his face was covered with ugly wrinkles like centipedes, and his waist was completely arched into a prawn, completely a rotten tree trunk.
In the face of this huge change, Luo Xi couldn't help but open his mouth, and subconsciously said, "But how are you..."
Halfway through speaking, Roshi cut off his voice, because he finally realized that it might have been just a moment for him, but 20 years had passed.
Louis seemed to understand what Roshi meant, he smiled, and gave a simple reply very open-mindedly: "I'm old!"
After a pause, he looked at Luo Xi hard, and then said, "But you, my lord, if it weren't for me told by my descendants, I wouldn't have recognized you!"
Roshi was silent for a moment.
Before that, he was actually looking forward to meeting Louis, after all, he basically didn't have any friends since he came to this world, and Louis was one of the few people who had a lot of friends with him.
It's just that when he really saw him at this time, Luo Xi's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know how to face this former friend.
He nodded, and said with a sigh, "yes... Time flies..."
After a pause, he decided not to think about these things anymore, it was useless to think about things that could not be changed, it was rare to see old friends, and he should be happier.
Louis also calmed down from the excitement of the meeting, and his eyes paused on Christina next to Roshi, and then asked, "My lord, is this your dance partner?"
"Hmm. Roshi nodded, and continued, "I'm working as a librarian at the academy in Eiffel City, and this is Christina, a student at this academy. ”
Louis found out about Roxi's role as a librarian here through his subordinates early in the morning, and when he heard Roshi talk about it, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, my lord, you are really as reckless as ever. ”
Then, he nodded at Christina with satisfaction, and then said politely: "Very beautiful young lady, your eyes are very good. ”
Christina's mind was still blank at this time, after all, what was happening in front of her was really incomprehensible to her mind.
It wasn't until she heard Louis nodding and smiling at her, and the top person in the Prussian Kingdom nodding at her, that she shook her senses and hurriedly grabbed both sides of her skirt and saluted: "Thank you... Thank you..."
The excessive nervousness made her body tremble slightly, and her voice was a little dry, this action fell in Louis's eyes, he shook his head, and comforted: "Don't be nervous, beautiful young lady, except for those messy titles on my head, in fact, I am no different from you." ”
Louis's words obviously didn't have a good effect, and Christina just smiled in agreement, after all, this is a class society, and his identity itself is destined to have a huge gap between him and ordinary people.
Louis naturally knew that these things were useless, so he didn't get too entangled, but then said to Roshi: "My lord, I ordered someone to prepare a dinner, you can enjoy the atmosphere of this festival first, and when this is over, we will talk again, what do you think?"
"Well, of course. Roshi nodded: "After all, I invited Miss Christina as a dance partner before, and it is not good to miss the appointment at this time." ”
"Hehehe!" Louis laughed kindly, and was about to say something.
But a subordinate next to him suddenly walked over, whispering in his ear that he didn't know what to say, Louis's eyes that had been slightly squinted suddenly opened, and a coldness flashed from it.
"My lord, did you run into some trouble just now?" I could hear a little coolness in his voice.
What is more obvious is that as soon as Louis's words came out, the body of the nobleman before trembled violently, obviously it was a hot day, but it was as if he had just been hit by a snowstorm, and his face was stiff like frost.
"Ah, what did you say just now?" Luo Xi remembered the previous dispute, but at this time he was not interested, so he said indifferently: "It's just some small things, I didn't pay attention to it." ”
Louis was still smiling, but nodded slightly, and made a clenching movement with his palm, just such a simple movement, but the nobleman's face turned a little whiter.
And here, Roshi returned to Christina's side, originally he wanted to go to the dance floor here, but when he turned around, he suddenly found that the atmosphere here was very bad.
The whole auditorium was silent, and everyone stared at him with wide eyes, which obviously did not enjoy any festive atmosphere.
So he turned to Christina, "Miss Christina, I think it might be more interesting for us to go outside." ”
"Well... Good. Christina said quickly
Taking Christina's hand, Roshi turned and headed out the door, followed by Louis by a subordinate, followed by several silver-armored guards.
It wasn't until they left that the pressure in the auditorium suddenly relaxed, and the crowd gathered inside rolled their throats and began to talk.
"What's going on, what's that librarian?"
"My God, that's Louis, Lord Louis at the helm of the Golden Rose, I'm afraid even the king won't let him be so respectful, right?"
All kinds of exclamations were endless, bringing the originally sluggish West back to his senses.
At this time, he had long since lost his previous arrogance, his innocent face was only frightened, his eyes rolled twice, and when no one was paying attention, he hurriedly lowered his head and ran towards an exit of the auditorium.
Just before he walked out of the crowd, he lowered his head and suddenly saw a pair of bright silver iron boots appear in front of his heels, as soon as he raised his head, he saw two silver-armored knights stopped in front of him, staring at him coldly.
The strength of his body disappeared at this moment, and Vest's body was weak and collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Christina had imagined herself being the center of attention at the ball more than once, but when the moment actually came, she was completely confused.
What happened? Who was Roshi? Why did the famous Louis come here, and why was he so respectful to the uncle next door?
In addition, she was more anxious at this time, because she didn't have any hope for the ball, she came out casually wearing a dress, but at this time, even if she was willing to accept it with such a dress, it would definitely lower the grade of her fellow dance partner, and she began to hesitate to mention to Rohi and let her change into a dress.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
After leaving the auditorium, a violent roar rumbled in my ears, and a burst of fireworks shot from the tower into the sky, bursting into the dark curtain in the shape of an umbrella.
Dense crowds sang and danced in the square, some around the table clashing oak cups and punching wine, some around the campfire tap dance, some on the open space to dance small round dance steps, the sound of music mixed with the sound of fireworks echoed throughout the square, the festive atmosphere came to the face.
"It's so lively, it's so hot!" Roshi, who came out outside, couldn't help but say
At this time, it is basically the hottest time of summer, and even at night it is still flooded with high temperatures, and with the addition of those piles of bonfires, the temperature can be imagined.
This temperature is still a little hot for Roshi, and he has a problem, he wants to stick out his tongue when it is hot, but after thinking about it, he feels that it is too stupid to stick out his tongue in this situation.
"Luo... Roshi, Lord Roshi!"
Christina's voice came from the side, she was a little inferior and a little uneasy to let go of the hand holding Roshi, and said, "Or, or you wait a while, I'll go change into a dress..."
"Huh?" Luo Xi turned his head, looked at it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "This skirt really doesn't match your temperament, so let's wait." ”
At this, Roshi paused, then reached out and gently pressed a hand on Christina's shoulder, and just as Cristina was puzzled, Roshi's mouth suddenly opened and spat out two syllables that she didn't understand at all.
And the next moment, Christina finally understood why Louis was so respectful to the librarian, and the originally boiling square suddenly fell silent.
In the stunned gaze of everyone, the blue light suddenly bloomed from Luo Xi's palm, and a little snowflake quietly fell from the night.
"Whew!"
A cool breeze swept in the wind and snow, diluting the hot air a little, and the wind and snow climbed along Christina's feet in circles to the upward dinner, gradually intertwined into a gorgeous blue dress made entirely of ice, with thousands of crystals embellished on it, matching Christina's beautiful face, making her extremely dazzling at the moment.
"It's so much prettier. ”
In Christina's gaping mouth, Roshi nodded in satisfaction, then he glanced at the uneven floor, thought about it, and gently lifted one foot again, and stepped on it, two syllables sounded in his mouth at the same time.
"Lady Furious!"
