Chapter 124: Meeting (2)
Green looked at Niel standing in front of him and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, after staying in the martial arts hall for a while, it looked very different from before.
The royal blue gown, tailored by the best tailors in Julu City, perfectly shows off its incomplete but already beautiful body. The hair is also carefully designed, and the ruby necklace strung by a thin white gold chain lies quietly in the center of the collarbone, setting off the skin even fairer.
At this time, Nier finally looked like a noble lady, with an elegant and demure temperament, an extremely upright standing posture, and a dazzling appearance.
It's just that the expression is a little melancholy, which destroys this beauty.
"Laugh, it's pretty. Looking at Niel, who was only up to her chest, Green patted her on the shoulder.
"Hmm. ”
Nile replied softly, barely curling the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Seeing this, Green didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked out with her, boarding the carriage that was already waiting at the door.
In the past, Green would bring Georgia with him as a guard, but recently he has been specially assigned a lot of missions, and separating them may be forgotten after a long time.
The vehicle galloped all the way, along several main roads of Julu City to a scenic villa area on the periphery, where there are few people, each family is far away, and the middle is planted with tall trees to separate the view, and the environment is very quiet. It's autumn at the moment, and there are a lot of leaves slowly falling, which looks a little poetic.
The squire opened the door, and Green stepped out of the carriage, and saw Fat Tom already waiting at the gate with two groups of servants.
"The place you chose is good, the view is great. Green looked around him and exclaimed.
Fat Tom showed a hint of smugness on his face when he heard this, "This house is not easy to buy, next time I will give you one, how can I live in the martial arts hall, there is still a house like words." ”
"That's right, you don't say I forgot, it seems that next time I'll have to find a house, you ......" Green heard this, and wanted to discuss a few words with him, but found that he was not listening at all, but looked behind Green in a daze.
Niel slowly stepped out of the carriage under the tutelage of a maid, her face painted with delicate light makeup was expressionless, and her lips were tightly pursed, revealing the tension in her heart.
"Miss Nier, I'll help you. Fat Tom walked past Green towards her, with a gentlemanly innocuous smile on his face, and reached out to hold her.
kept scolding the people who went to inquire about the news, not even saying that Green's sister was so beautiful, so he didn't dress up well today.
However, Niel ignored him, and walked straight out of the carriage, leaning close to Grimm and bowing her head in silence.
"Hehe, the first time we met, I was abrupt, please go inside first. Tom the Fat Man laughed indifferently and waved his hand, and the two groups of servants began to lead the way.
The courtyard of this villa is very large, and even in autumn, there are still a lot of seasonal flowers and plants, and the trim is very delicate.
Everyone came all the way to the balcony of the villa, where a parasol had already been erected, and a small table was placed underneath, on which some delicate snacks and refreshments were placed.
After taking their seats, the servants consciously stayed away, so that a few people could talk with confidence.
"I have already prepared all the needs for the wedding, and I specially ordered a top-quality wedding dress from the imperial capital, which will definitely make Miss Nier the most dazzling bride of the year. ”
Fat Tom looked at Nile with a smile and said, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became, it was his favorite type.
But Nier was indifferent to this, and lowered her head to drink tea.
"The wedding will take place as soon as possible, but it can't be rushed, just set for the middle of next month. The defense of the wedding is the responsibility of the martial arts, and there must be no problems. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Green spoke at the right time. Nier's little emotions were in his eyes, and he didn't say much.
Fat Tom nodded when he heard this, and it was most reassuring to hand over the defense work to Green, and he should be safe and secure that day.
Immediately, he seemed to think of something, deliberately lowered his voice and said a little mysteriously: "This time, for your face, Earl Blue Whale is willing to lend the family heirloom treasure Deep Blue Heart to put on Miss Nier on the wedding day." ”
Hearing his tone, this thing seemed to be some great treasure, and Green asked a few more words with some curiosity.
"The Deep Blue Heart is an ancestral necklace of the Blue Whale family, carved from an extremely rare piece of deep sea aquamarine, which is not only exquisite in craftsmanship, but also a dream-like jewel. It's even more magical in itself......"
Fat Tom paused deliberately, and when he saw Nier, he couldn't help but listen, and then said the following: "That is to delay aging and stay young forever, which has great benefits for the human body." ”
"Then why is the Blue Whale Count still old?" Green snapped unceremoniously.
He wasn't annoyed, he smiled, "That's because Earl Blue Whale, as a great knight, has a body far beyond ordinary people, so the Deep Blue Heart has no effect on it." But for ordinary people, it is comparable to an artifact, and there was a countess in history who wore this necklace until her death, and she was still a girl. ”
"And what about after you die?" asked Niel.
"The moment the Deep Blue Heart is plucked, it quickly ages, and it is no different from an ordinary old man after death. Fat Tom said with a shrug.
Niel imagined the image for a moment, and frowned.
"This string of deep blue hearts is a well-known treasure even in the entire empire, even if it is only effective for ordinary people, its value is still not inferior to the legendary treasure, and it is the most important treasure of the Blue Whale family.
The last time it appeared was at a wedding more than ten years ago, when it caused a sensation in the whole south and attracted countless young ladies to fall for it. ”
Fat Tom spoke eloquently, his expression fluttering, but Green noticed his words.
"Wait. Just now you said that the value of this thing is not under the treasure?"
"That's right. Fat Tom nodded, "There have been cases in history where strong people exchanged treasures for deep blue hearts in order to please the woman they love. ”
Like an electric current running through his mind, Green instantly determined that the thief Kapsso was indeed hiding in Giant Deer City.
The Blue Whale family only has an elderly knight, and it is located in a remote area, and they also collect heavy treasures, isn't that an excellent goal?
"On the day of the wedding, I'm afraid it was the time for him to make a move, and after he succeeded, he ran away directly with the boots of Hermes, and he couldn't catch up with him without the presence of the Heavenly Knight. When the time comes, he will leave the county of Asaph and hide in the small surrounding countries, and no one will be able to find him. ”
After knowing the other party's goal, Green instantly guessed his plan, although it was not too precise, but it was very feasible, and others thought that he had escaped from the empire a long time ago.
Seeing Green look down and ponder, Fat Tom thought about it and thought that the Deep Blue Heart was too precious and made him worry about losing it. Then he said: "The Earl of Blue Whale will also come to the scene in person that night, plus the great knight enshrined by our trading house, it is enough to protect the Deep Blue Heart, you don't have to worry." ”
"Then I'm relieved. Green nodded on the surface, but inwardly pondered whether he should join forces with the two of them, but in that case the Boots of Hermes might not necessarily belong to him.
As Green pondered, he discussed the wedding with Fat Tom, and Niel, as one of the parties involved, had no say in it at all, and sat with her head bowed and silent.
"It's a nice view, Nier, go and see it. Seeing this, Green broke it aside, and let some servants come up and lead her to the courtyard.
It wasn't until after Niel had left that Green spoke to Fat Tom with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Your brothers are really decisive enough to send four knights to intercept them at once. If I hadn't asked my subordinates to bring Nile back early, the consequences would be really hard to say. ”
There were only four people present that day, and the most likely one to leak the news was Fat Tom himself.
"Ahem, I didn't expect to have so many of their men hidden around me, but don't worry, I've cleared them all. He said with a stiff face and some embarrassment.
Now that the person had been brought back safely, Green didn't plan to dwell on it too much, and asked curiously, "How did you convince your father to agree?"
Poru seems to be a little more fond of his youngest son, but he is more of a shrewd businessman. Tom's ascension to the top of the bench is not a good thing for the comptoir.
Speaking of this, Fat Tom himself was a little puzzled, "I just tentatively mentioned it to my father during dinner, and he agreed without much thought." ”
"He didn't say anything?"
No, he looked as usual, as if he had agreed to a trivial matter, and just nodded. Fat Tom shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Your father is such an interesting man. ”
Green muttered, and didn't mention it again.
"How are you preparing, recently I have asked the martial arts hall to fully cooperate with you, and I have eaten a lot of business, how sure are you now?"
"Only half sure. My eldest brother was too difficult to deal with, he was second only to my father in the business house, and he was also strong, and he was the most domineering and ruthless. If he takes the throne, I'm afraid I won't even be able to stay in Asaph. ”
A hint of worry flashed on Fat Tom's face, even with the martial arts hall as a backup.
"Can you do it yourself......?"
Fat Tom looked up at Green with a wistful gaze, only to be interrupted by his stern gaze.
"It doesn't matter if you are frustrated for a while, there is a martial arts hall to fully cooperate with you, as long as you fight steadily and win in the end, it will be you, don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have. ”
"Hmmm......"
After chatting casually for a while, Green got up, and today he had already let Fat Tom and Niel meet, confirmed the marriage, and achieved the goal.
Seen off by Fat Tom, Green and Neil make it all the way back to the martial arts hall.
And in the following days, Fat Tom sent a large number of expensive gifts to the martial arts hall every day, and a cart of roses was placed downstairs like flowing water, announcing to the people of the entire Julu City that he and Nier, the sister of Green, the owner of the White Cloud Pavilion, were about to hold a wedding.
And as if stirred up by this wedding, the long-calm pool of Julu City began to ripple.
Not long after, Ivina, an outstanding cadet who graduated from the Knight Academy and is now the head of the legion in the south, also returned to Julu City at this time, and immediately became a topic of conversation among everyone.
