The magic caravan had been parked on the side of the road at the entrance of the manor, and Count Gophilo had no intention of inviting Surdak into the manor.

Surdak could only jump out of the magic caravan and tread on the snow on the side of the street.

He held the door of the magic caravan with one hand, pointed at Count Gophilo in the car, and finally said, "...... Give me time, I might be able to do it! ”

Count Gophilo ignored him, and with a grim gaze he reached out and closed the door, and ordered the coachman to go forward.

Seeing Surdak trying to follow, the guards who followed the carriage did not dare to stop him, so he opened the window of the carriage and said to Surdak on the side of the road: "Triss is eighteen years old, she can't wait for ......you all the time."

Surdak took two steps forward and said as he chased the magic caravan, "I have come with absolute sincerity this time, no matter what, please think about it carefully......"

Despite Surdak's words, Count Gophilo did not look back.

The carriage drove into the ancient manor, and the manor guards hurriedly closed the big iron gate.

Seeing the large iron door close tightly in front of him, Surdak sighed.

He stood on the side of the road with a look of disappointment, watching the silver magic caravan disappear into the antebule avenue of the dilapidated manor.

To be honest, he was a little frustrated, and came with enthusiasm, and in the end all he could get was the cold eyes of Count Gophilo and the closed door.

The north wind blew a fine snow foam off the wall, and the doorkeeper tightened his neckline.

The guard stood in front of the gate and glanced at Surdak, waved at him, and motioned for him to leave.

……

Surdak arrives at a fancy restaurant that he has agreed with Hathaway and Beatrice.

He told the waiter his name at the door of the restaurant, and the waiter led him up to the second floor.

The restaurant on the second floor is quiet, and there are not many aristocrats who come to eat at this time.

Hathaway and Beatrice were waiting in a window seat on the second floor, laughing and talking at the snowy scene outside the window.

Seeing Surdak walking with the waiter, Hathaway and Beatrice stood up at the same time and looked at Surdak expectantly.

Hathaway couldn't wait to ask Surdak, "How did you talk to Count Gopphilo?" ”

Surdak sat across from the two women, calmly drained the water from the cup, then pointed to Beatrice's plate and said to the waiter, "Give me a copy of this ...... too."

The waiter saluted and left.

Surdak did not say that his visit to Count Gophilo was a failure.

He stared at Beatrice, his pale brown eyes were like a magnificent amber in the reflection of the sun, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Beatrice in a relaxed tone: "Maybe Count Gophilo doesn't know me very well, he doesn't think I make a good lord, so I don't get Count Gopphil's approval." ”

Beatrice leaned back in her seat, a look of disappointment in her eyes, 'It did.'

Hathaway hurriedly held her best friend's somewhat cold hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort.

Surdak leaned forward, put his hand on the hands of the two women, and said to Beatrice, who was at a loss, "I feel that it is my responsibility, after all, I am a small nobleman in the remote city of Highlandza, and I am not well-known in the city of Bena, and the Count of Gophilo does not know me, maybe I need some time to increase my reputation in the city of Bena, so that maybe I can change everyone's opinion of me." ”

He said to Hathaway and Beatrice with some self-deprecation: "Now I am afraid that those who know me will think that I am an extremely fortunate fellow to be able to win the admiration of the Marquis of Luthor, and to marry his favorite daughter." ”

Hathaway glanced at Surdak and the message in her eyes was clear: 'It's good to know!' ’

"I've been going to some aristocratic gatherings lately, and I'm going to make some young aristocratic friends and expand my social circle." Surdak said to Hathaway.

"You mean...... Are you planning to stay in Pena City for a while? Hathaway asked with some excitement.

"I'm going to stay and fight for it again, and hopefully Count Gophilo will change his mind." Surdak nodded and said.

At this time, he couldn't help but think to himself: Aphrodite knew that his return to the city of Highlandsa was going to be delayed, and he might be mad.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face......

Looking at the delicious steak in front of him, Beatrice really couldn't eat a bite.

"Don't worry about that anymore, didn't we say okay? If it's a big deal, I'll accompany you, Count Gophilo will not come to my house to find you, and he won't want to take you away if I'm here! Hathaway said.

Hathaway, as a good sister, didn't worry about this at all, she kept Beatrice by her side, and she was not prepared to let her go home again.

The relationship between the Gophilo family and the Luthor family is very delicate at the moment, and they are both old families in the province of Bena.

Strictly speaking, the Gophilo family may be older than the Luthor family, the two families have been married and supported each other for so many years, until the generation of Beatrice's father, Count Gopphil, the Gophilo family has declined to the point of losing the dignity of the marquis, and the Count Gophilo did some wrong things when he was young, and the accumulated favors have been exhausted, and the relationship with the Marquis of Luthor is very tense because of the competition for the plane mine.

Therefore, Hathaway concluded that Count Gophilo would not easily run to the Marquis de Luther's palace to ask for someone.

Marquis Luthor's previous arrangements for Hathaway made Hathaway and Beatrice almost in the same condition, and the two had already agreed that they would never give in to the family, and they would flee from Pena City if it was a big deal.

Originally, both of them planned to elope, but now that the Marquis of Luthor's arrangement is exactly what Hathaway wants, she doesn't need to elope anymore to pursue her love, and now only Beatrice is left, and the two are likely to take two completely different paths in the future......

Beatrice glanced at Surdak secretly, and saw that there was no concern in his eyes, and his heart was a little more calm.

'Later...... We're probably going to live in the city of Highlandsa! Cheerful Beatrice confronted herself and comforted.

……

The magic caravan stopped at the door of the hotel, Surdak pretended not to understand Hathaway's hint to sit in the hotel room, pushed the door and jumped out of the magic caravan, and then waved goodbye to Hathaway and Beatrice in the car, and watched the magic caravan merge into the traffic on the street, and then turned around and walked into the hotel.

The inn is located on the edge of the aristocratic quarter of Pena City, just two blocks from the Marquis de Luther's House.

At the entrance of the inn was a red copper sign with a clear line of words: 'Only for the nobles!' ’

Surdak walked up the steps, and the waiter guarding the door hurriedly opened the door for Surdakra, this hotel does not look too big from the outside, the whole building is almost closely connected to the buildings on the left and right frontages, in fact, each building is completely independent.

The interior of the hotel is lavishly decorated, with mahogany staircases and wall bumper corners covered in gold and silver ornamentation, and Surdak ascends the spiral staircase to the second floor.

Up the stairs came down a fair-skinned young nobleman.

He held the Western sword at his waist in his hand, and was wearing a delicate dress, and at a glance he knew that he was a noble son who was usually pampered, and when he passed by Surdak, he only glanced at him faintly.

The noble man walked to the booth in the hall and gathered with another young nobleman waiting in the hall, and when he saw that the young nobleman had been staring at Surdak's back until Surdak disappeared at the top of the stairs, he asked curiously, "Harvey, what are you looking at?" Is it an acquaintance of yours? ”

The end of every sentence in his imperial Chinese rises up, and his accent sounds very different from that of Bena Province.

At this time, the young nobleman named Harvey pursed his lips, and with a sour taste in his tone, exclaimed, "A hillbilly who has taken shit luck!" ”

The noble son's eyes lit up, and the moment those eyes widened, they were as weird as a green opal, and his eyes were full of curiosity about Surdak, and he hurriedly said: "Sometimes, we can't help but admit that 'luck is also a kind of strength', hey, Harvey, do you want to go up and get to know him?" ”

Harvey's smile was a little cold, and then he added, "Forget it, I'm not interested." ”

"What? Did you have a holiday with him? The noble prince looked at Harvey and asked curiously.

"All over the city of Bena, all wanting to get Hathaway. Luther's young nobles had their own time with him, and I was only the most insignificant of them! Harvey said self-deprecatingly.

"Hathaway, daughter of the Marquis of Luthor...... I've heard of her! Gui Gongzi squinted his eyes and said with a smile.

After saying that, he habitually licked his lower lip with his scarlet tongue.

The young nobleman Harvey seemed reluctant to talk about this, so he asked the nobleman, "Jack, which family property are you going to see today, and my father asked me to accompany you the whole time......"

……

Aphrodite, who was in the room, woke up to Surdak and heard that he wanted to stay in Pena City for a while longer, and almost collapsed.

"You're saying I'm going to stay here for a while?"

Aphrodite lifted the fluffy snow-white quilt and stood directly in the center of the bed, looking at Surdak with an incredulous expression.

The succubus pointed to the street outside the window and protested to Surdak, "Don't you think the streets of Bena City are full of witchers? There are even magicians in those adventure groups and mercenary groups, and since the last incident, I don't even dare to wander around the streets these days, I don't want to live anymore, I want to go back to Highlandsa! ”

With that, she jumped out of bed barefoot, her long straight legs exposed directly under her hip-length nightdress, put that cashmere dress on the hanger, and sat in front of the dresser arranging her hair.

"Aphrodite, I need you to help me."

Surdak pressed his hands on the succubus's shoulders and said sincerely.

Aphrodite bit her lip, she waited for Surdak with some exasperation, and said, "...... Stay here for another month at most, couldn't have more! ”

"A month should be enough, no matter what the outcome, we'll all go back to Wall Village!" Surdak said categorically.

When Aphrodite saw Surdak say this, she asked curiously, "But...... What are you going to do? ”

Surdak didn't hide his plans from Aphrodi either, and told her, "I want to go to the thieves' guild first to inquire about the Gophilo family." ”
