"The first time the three guests have come?" beside the stone tablet, the old man first glanced at William and the three of them, and when he saw that the faces of the three were unfamiliar, he couldn't help frowning and asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Gates Rondoses. ”

"William Rest. ”

"Kane. I am Master William's servant. ”

The three of them reported their own doors.

When the old man heard this, he nodded slowly. The magic ring on his hand shimmered, and a thick booklet with a black cover was removed.

He flipped through the roster for a while, and after careful verification, he finally let Master Gates go, but stopped William and Kane.

"I was invited by Young Master Lei Ao of the Mengluo Family. William explained.

"I'm really sorry that Young Master Lei Ao didn't say that he has some guests coming today. The old man said regretfully and did not choose to let go.

"The two of them are my friends. Can I take them in?" asked Master Gates aloud.

"No, you can't. The old man shook his head and said resolutely.

William smiled, unimpressed. He asked Young Master Gates to go in first, and found Lei Ao to help inform him, and he was waiting here.

Master Gates agreed. Shortly after he left, while William was still waiting outside, two more men came: a coachman in a carriage and a woman.

"William?" The woman who walked out of the carriage was stunned when she saw that William was actually there.

William was also a little surprised.

The person who came was actually the daughter of the inspector Murphy, the daughter of the daughter named Jena.

After reacting, William showed a smile on his face and replied, "Hello, Miss Jena. I didn't expect us to meet so soon. ”

Jena's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why are you here?"

"And so on. They wouldn't let me in, and I was stopped. Now I'm waiting for my friends to come out and pick me up. William smiled lightly and quipped.

Jena understood. She glanced at the old man and said, "Young Master William is my friend. I'll take him in, okay?"

"Absolutely. Miss Jena can take anyone into the estate to play. The old man laughed.

William shook his head and said, "Miss Jena, you go first, my friend will be here soon." I went in, but he waited and couldn't see anyone, so I had to go to trouble to find him again. ”

When Jena heard this, she was stunned. She never thought that William, a little noble young master who didn't even have a title, would actually refuse her kindness, "You still take the thing that I rejected to heart and hold a grudge against me, right?"

"Nope. William denied it.

Jena was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and changed the subject: "Draenor Manor is a very nice place. It's rare for you to come once, and all the consumption will be counted on my head. ”

"No need. With Miss Jena's money, I will not be happy in the bottom of my heart. William refused again.

"Do you men like to slap your swollen face like this? Your Lester family is not wealthy, why should you refuse?" Jena was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Jena, you're really mistaken. ”

"I didn't!"

Jena retorted loudly, "Do you think I really don't know? Two years ago, your Lester family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and you borrowed money from my father to do a beer business. ”

"Now, even if the beer business is a little better, how much money can you make?

William smiled and didn't explain, but pointed to the distance and said, "Miss Jena, my friend has come to pick me up, and we'll talk again next time we have a chance." ”

When Jena heard this, she was stunned.

She looked in the direction William was pointing, and saw a fat man in a green tights, Lei Ao, surrounded by a group of noble young masters, walking over with a smile on his face.

Young Master Gates, who left earlier, was also among them.

"William, long time no see! I went to look for you yesterday, but unfortunately I didn't see you, so I ran away in vain. ”

Lei Ao walked step by step, and as soon as he met William, he came to a big hug, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, and I blame me for being so busy these days that I forgot to explain to the people in the manor that you are coming." ”

As soon as Lei Ao finished speaking, behind him, a group of aristocratic young masters also started talking about it, and they introduced themselves to William one after another, with a friendly and kind attitude.

William greeted them one by one, with a smile on his face that did not change the slightest hint of impatience.

At this time, the fat man Leo finally noticed Jena beside William.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and he asked, "Miss Jena also knows Brother William? What a coincidence! We have just prepared a grand dinner ceremony, will Miss Jena enjoy it once?"

Jena Qiao showed a look of embarrassment on her face, and said embarrassedly: "You guys have dinner, I won't participate." ”

After Jena finished speaking, she got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly started, and she drove away to the Draenor Manor first.

Lei Ao also took William and the others to Draenor Manor, and he asked as he walked, "Brother William, do you know the woman just now?"

"Yes, indeed. William nodded and said, "How could Young Master Lei Ao know her?"

Lei Ao smiled and explained, "She is the new woman of Xika. Schika remembers, right? It's General Carlo's nephew, who was still making trouble in your tavern. ”

When William heard this, he fell silent and did not want to talk any more.

The Delano estate is large, with mountains and rivers, a variety of houses and buildings, as well as many natural hot springs and flat meadows.

Lei Ao took William and Kane to have a dinner on an open-air lawn and ate some barbecue, then Lei Ao got up and said, "Sorry, I lost my company." Come with me, Brother William, and I'll take you to see something exciting. ”

William had no objection.

He smiled and said hello to Master Gates, and then led the wandering warrior Kane and followed Lei Ao to a circular building similar to the ancient Roman gladiatorial arena.

This gladiatorial arena is very large, and it is all made of hard Qingfeng stone circle by circle, layer by layer.

In the open space at the bottom of the gladiatorial arena, a stout man wearing thin leather armor and bulging muscles was fighting a lion with his bare hands, the scene was exciting and bloody.

And above the gladiatorial arena, there are eight tiers of circular stands, one larger than the other.

In the stands on each floor, there are many people with status and status, either bloated aristocratic lords, or rich young rich women with rich and titles, and their demeanor is impassioned.

William even saw a lot of rich women, regardless of their own image, shouting wildly: "Macho Thors, come on! Kill that lion, I'm going to sleep with you tonight!"

When it comes to people, there are those who want the stout man to win, and there are also some noble lords who advocate blood, who have completely different opinions, and they cry out frantically: "Oh, Rusik, quickly tear apart the enemy in front of you! Lao Tzu has placed a bet of five thousand gold coins on you!"

"Rusik, bite him to death! If you fail, I must buy you tonight and kill you to make braised lion meat!"

.........

People were wild and bloodthirsty, revealing a side that is rarely seen on weekdays, and they all shouted wildly, and the waves overshadowed the waves.

On the spiral staircase of the Colosseum, William stopped, glanced at the stout man who was fighting hand-to-hand with the lion, and asked with interest, "That man's name is Thors?

"Yes. Brother William is also interested in this?" Lei Ao also stopped and asked with a smile.

William shook his head, "This kind of struggle between humans and beasts may arouse the desire in people's hearts. But I don't think it's really interesting, far less enjoyable than the life-and-death struggle between two samurai. ”

Lei Ao smiled and said, "The duel between the samurai and the samurai, the duel between the samurai and the mage, and the duel between the mage and the mage, can also be seen here." However, this is rare, and it would be nice to have it once a month. ”

William heard this and nodded slowly.

Lei Ao took William and Kane down the spiral stone staircase until they reached the penultimate floor of the gladiatorial arena.

The location of this floor can be said to be the best position in the entire gladiatorial arena. People sit here and can watch the fighting scenes in the Colosseum on the ground floor up close, and they can see it clearly.

There are very few seats on this floor. William's eyes swept roughly, and he estimated in his heart that all the seats on this floor added up, and they were less than a hundred.

There are few seats, and there are even fewer people on this floor, only a dozen people, all gathered in a group, and the rest are empty.

"Brother William, do you know why I asked you to come here today?" Lei Ao asked as he walked straight to where the group of people were.

William smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Because today at Draenor Manor, there is an unspeakably noble guest! The third prince who just returned to the imperial capital the day before yesterday!"

Lei Ao directly threw a bombshell, "His Majesty Charles IX is getting old, and every day is getting worse. Many people in the imperial capital know that His Majesty Charles IX will soon be crowned crown prince. ”

"His Majesty Charles IX, there are six heirs. The eldest prince was tragically killed in the war with the orcs, and the second prince was unscrupulous, arrogant, and indulged in wine every day, indulging himself in the management of his fiefdom. ”

"The third prince has a humble personality, is shrewd and capable, and has outstanding ability to do things. His fiefdom had always been well managed, and the taxes were collected more than a year by year, and the ministers were the first to praise him. ”

"The fourth princess has a gentle and elegant personality and is very knowledgeable. But the fourth princess is a woman, and His Majesty Charles IX should not make her the crown prince and be the heir to her own throne. If they do, the ministers will not approve of it. ”

"The fifth prince is humble and studious, but he is actually quite scheming. At a young age, he showed a proud political talent, and His Majesty was extremely fond of him and full of praise. Even His Majesty used to faintly reveal that he wanted to appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince of the empire. ”

"Everything is fine with the six princes, but they are too young and have not been weaned yet, so it is impossible to participate in the battle for the crown prince. ”

"Based on the above, the position of the crown prince should be produced between the three princes or the five princes. In fact, there are many ministers who support the two princes in the government. ”

"Of course, there are also some ministers who have always maintained a neutral attitude and do not participate in it. For example, my father, the Grand Duke of Monro, who represents my family. ”

Lei Ao analyzed the situation between Korea and China and continued: "Brother William. Your Lester family's beer business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are faint signs of overshadowing it, and it is well-known in the entire Kuwaiti province, maintaining a profit of millions of gold coins every year. ”

"Although you are not in the court, in terms of the speed of the rise of the Lester family, you definitely have a place in the imperial capital court. When you come to the imperial capital this time, you will inevitably be noticed by some people with a heart. ”

Lei Ao smiled and asked, "Can Brother William understand what I said?"

"Young Master Lei Ao wants to say that the third prince and the fifth prince have secretly paid attention to me and want to win over my Lester family?"

After a pause, William showed a smile on his face and continued: "Young Master Lei Ao, please rest assured, I am very sober, and I will definitely learn from Grand Duke Mengluo with an open mind, maintain a neutral attitude, and do not participate in the dispute between the two princes for the crown prince." ”

"Brother William is really a smart man, and he knows a little bit. ”

Lei Ao laughed and said, "However, for us today, the third prince is not the protagonist. This time, the three princes came to the Delano Manor, but His Majesty sent the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Rondoses, to accompany him. ”

"And that's what we're trying to do...... Hook up with Mr. Rondoses and let our beers be sold in the Imperial Palace!"
