Chapter 590: Provocation

907

Get? Who to look for?

You look like a very powerful extraordinary, and the person you're looking for won't be an ordinary person, right? I, I've been living a normal life in a utopia, and I haven't even established any relationships, how can I suddenly get involved in such an incredible thing......

Everett swallowed, and when it became clear that it was useless to escape, his mind quickly began to recall what the teacher had handed in:

"As an ancient extraordinary family, we have been in contact with the extraordinary earlier, and the probability of encountering extraordinary events beyond our own abilities is also higher."

"If you find yourself involved in an extraordinary event that is beyond your ability, you must remember to stay calm, don't listen too much, don't talk too much, and don't think about information that you shouldn't know, but think a lot and do everything you can to escape. In addition to that, in case things get the worst, you ...... Be sure to try to leave a note. ”

He looked fearfully at the indifferent young man in front of him, his brain racing and thinking about what to do.

Don't ask - although he looks like he is smaller than himself, but you must not be curious about his identity, and it is better not to know the information of the person he is looking for - if his target is a being with divinity, maybe when he learns the identity and real name of the other party, he will also be known, don't talk too much, to avoid possible revenge.

Don't think about it too much......

Everett turned her head to look at the proprietress who was still sitting behind the counter, the proprietress was checking the cabinet and seemed to be counting the items, and after feeling his gaze, Tracy asked in a soft voice, "Is there anything else you want to buy?" ”

This reminded him, and he quickly made the appearance of continuing to select items, looking around while thinking nervously, and using the action of selecting items to give himself time to buffer.

Everett's gaze swept over the various small objects in front of him, including bracelets made of beads and small metal pendants of the same color, necklaces made of polished animal teeth and bones, and many common and interesting little things. But now his mind is no longer on buying souvenirs, and after hastily picking out a small item for his parents and teachers, he has no clue.

"That's all."

He stole a glance at the silver-haired teenager and found that the other party did not show impatience either.

It won't be the worst, right...... What's more, there was that mysterious "automatic wishing machine" just now, if it can really fulfill my wish, then I can at least come home alive and get my pocket money once...... He plucked up his courage and whispered:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ And the painting just now, please help me pack it and send it to Abraham's Mansion at 47 Kings Street in Trier, Intis, I will pay for the postage, if you cross the border, how much will it cost? ”

He gave his address to see how they were looking, but neither Tracey nor the person who asked him for help changed their expressions.

"House Abraham? I haven't heard of it, but to be able to live near the main road of the capital in Intis, it should be a rich family, little brother, you are really generous, do you want to see a few more things? The smile on Tracy's face became more sincere and brighter in the face of the buyer, and she casually spoke to Everett, and the mysterious aura on her body just now had disappeared.

"2 Sule, you really have a vision, that one was carved by my own hand when I visited the store, and the bracelet was made by my boss." Tracy pointed to the woodcarved knick-knack, "These words, 3 sules." She looked at the two bracelets of the same color and color, "There are 16 sules in total, and I use the rune gold pound here, 1 pound 4 sul...... How about 1 Gold Louie? Give you a slight discount. ”

Everett didn't dare to let the other party be polite at all, and directly took out 2 gold Louis and put it on the table, and the two gold coins jingled.

"No, no, add shipping and packaging."

Tracey was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you for your patronage, then I'm going to invite Anderson to the 'Crossroads' for a grilled fish tonight." ”

She stood up, took out a large piece of brown paper and a few small gift boxes from the drawer, and began to cut the paper and pack the small objects:

"However, you can also use a few coins to make a wish with the 'automatic wishing machine', and make a wish that these things will appear directly in your mailbox, which is much faster than I can send them."

"I think it's more ceremonial to send letters." Everett whispered.

After doing all this, he took a deep breath and turned to face the mysterious silver-haired boy who had been waiting quietly behind him. Everett pondered his words for a moment, "Find someone...... How do I find it? ”

Do you want to use this? But did the proprietress just say that you won't be allowed to use it? He glanced at the "automatic wishing machine" at his feet, and then at the other party. He was tempted to ask what the other party was called, but his cautious mind forcibly suppressed the impulse.

The other man didn't speak, turned and walked towards the street.

Everett hesitated for a moment, but chose to follow the other party out of the store.

There was a soft sound behind him, and the door of the small shop, which I didn't know how to classify, closed, and the dark curtains fell again, making it impossible for outsiders to peek inside the store. The last thing Everett saw was the proprietress sitting at the counter packing, the curtains automatically closed.

He stubbornly walked with the other party for a short distance, and when the other party stopped, he also stopped. Everett casually looked left and right, and suddenly saw his teacher appear on the street not far away.

Before he could decide whether to call the other party, he saw that the teacher's trajectory was very strange:

She first appeared on the corner and then walked in the direction of the shop, but in the process suddenly turned to the left and circled until she was back at the corner where she started. The teacher kept circling the invisible circle with a serious expression, but she herself seemed to be completely unaware that she was spinning in place, and none of the residents around her noticed that an old lady was circling in circles.

The teacher fell under some kind of hallucinatory magic? Everett was also confused, but for now, it seemed that the teacher was just going around in circles, and there was no danger.

"Have you seen anything related to 'snakes' lately?"

The silver-haired boy suddenly spoke.

His eyes were looking ahead, his snow-white hair draped behind his back, and his simple robes and furs were white, the only color being the black inverted cross that hung from his chest and was held in the palm of his hand.

- All of this had an indescribable divinity, and Everett was almost instantly distracted by the other's words.

"Snake ......"

He thought for a few seconds and replied with some hesitation: "I heard the sound of snakes moving in the corridor at night a few days ago......"

……

The dinner was going on, and Herwin Lambis was laughing and talking to the other nobles, making everyone he talked to laugh.

But when he turned around to go to the table to get the food, the smile on his face suddenly turned cold, not only did he lose his usual kind and humorous temperament, but also faintly revealed a subtle expression of mockery and disdain.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was watching him.

This apparent sense of being observed proves that the snooper is not a cautious, capable type. Herwin Lambis was unimpressed, and at the same time quietly took a glass of champagne from the hand of the passing waiter, and naturally turned around, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the source of the obvious peeping sightβ€”he saw an unfamiliar looking girl covering the lower half of her face with a fan, and quietly looking at him.

Who's that? Herwin Lambis found himself unrecognizable.

The strange blonde girl quickly turned her head and whispered a few words to her personal maid, who turned away and went to the other side of the table to help her get food, without raising her head from beginning to end, looking humble and careful.

Herwin took a sip of champagne without paying much attention, and at that glance he had already imprinted the image of the strange young lady in his mind.

"Rune's aristocratic ladies have to go through the queen's introduction before they can be considered adults, and if there was a coming-of-age ceremony in Rune, I can't have seen it. Then she was probably a foreigner who had just arrived, or the illegitimate daughter of some nobleman. ”

Herwin Lambis looked at the host of the feast, a Viscount of Rune, who had hosted a dinner party to warm up for the New Year.

Warm-up dinners are held almost every day, and the more luxurious it is in the New Year, it is not only a courtesy exchange between nobles, but also a good opportunity for nouveau riche who want to enter the aristocratic circle.

However, the nobles also have their own ideas, and in the past, His Majesty the King took the lead in the dance hall of Sodrak Palace, and I don't know if this year's official New Year's dinner will not be held by the church. As a former royal advisor...... Although the royal family is gone, with Herwin's connections, one week before the New Year, one week after the New Year, almost every day can participate in different aristocratic banquets.

"Those who can attend the dinner should also be nobles from other countries."

"Even if she is an illegitimate daughter, she should be recognized by the family. …… Hehe, the illegitimate daughter who only entered the social scene at this age, does the family want to make something with marriage? No matter how unloved he is, he still bears the name of this family. ”

Herwin Lambis didn't think that this girl would have anything to do with him, he was basically sure of his thoughts. With a relaxed, hilarious mind, he recalled more details of what he had just observed, confirming his conjecture:

"The materials and styles of the skirts are brand new, but there are no obvious traces of rush work, and they should have just been made."

"The jewelry on the body matches this dress better, but the style is a bit old, although it can be regarded as a personal hobby, but ...... Combined with other information, it seems that this young lady does not have a matching new jewelry. ”

"She shouldn't have been taken too seriously."

Herwin glanced at the maid, who had already returned with some meat, fish, and desserts.

I don't know why, but when he saw this maid, he always felt a little familiar. To be on the safe side, he carefully recalled it, confirming that he had never seen this humble and shy little girl before.

There are too many similar people in this world, the back, the side face and the front, and the appearance of human beings can be traced.

It was not surprising that the posture of the uniformly trained servants looked familiar, and Herwin Lambis basically regarded them as air, but the young maid's demeanor was better, which attracted his attention.

"Coming to a banquet but only one servant to accompany you?"

"It really doesn't seem to be taken seriously."

"I didn't communicate with anyone else, but I did say hello to some people of the same age, who were new to the city and didn't know most of them well."

"But she doesn't care much about herself, an illegitimate daughter with a strong personality, but at the same time she has no connections and is not valued by the family? It's not a good marriage. ”

He suspected that the other party was actually thinking about whether to talk to him and initially establish some contacts. However, in Herwin Lambis's view, the other party is simply a person who wastes time to say two more words, has no interpersonal contacts, is not valued by the family, and does not enter any social circle, which means that there is no value of communication. He may say hello politely, but never seriously.

Herwin didn't pay any attention to the strange girl, and didn't even bother to ask anyone else for her name and identity.

The dinner continued, talking, dancing, the first dance, the second dance...... The last dance music, dining, talking, gossiping, exchanging information, playing cards...... He is already familiar with these processes that will not change by heart, and the social scene is where his excellent "audience" is like a fish in water.

Herwin Lambis is familiar with saying different things to different faces, instilling in them something that benefits him.

In the middle of the conversation, Herwin was about to go to the bathroom to tidy up her appearance, and inadvertently found that several aristocratic young people of the same age had gathered around the strange young lady, who were talking and laughing enthusiastically, and faintly surrounded her in the middle.

The "audience" demigod observed the young people from afar for a while, listening to the lively and cheerful strange lady tell interesting stories about foreign countries in an exaggerated and amusing narrative device, which caused waves of discussion and laughter.

Herwin Lambis quietly turned on his vision, glanced at it, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

After a while, he returned to his "friends", and after a little small talk, he slowly led the conversation to the young men who were chatting hotly, and only when someone began to discuss them, did he casually ask:

"Whose lady is the one in the middle? I don't think I've seen her. ”

Someone immediately answered:

"That's Viscount Conrad's youngest daughter, Miss Susie Conrad."

"She's said to have been in poor health, so she's been abroad β€” recuperating at Fenerport, and only recently brought back."

He replied in a meaningful tone, and winked at everyone, revealing a subtle smile that "everyone who knows".

"It's Fenerport."

Herwin's heart moved. He looked surprised, and said without saying anything: "I don't have any prejudice against this country, but there seems to be a lot of bad evaluation of their people in the current society?" But I don't know more specifically, I just heard that the people have a lot of opinions about the Fenerporters, and that the Fenerporters terrorized the members of the church and brutally killed them? ”

"Yes, there is such a thing...... one of them quickly answered, and his tone was still a little indignant, "Crowd fights, street fights, and murders, but the newspapers have suppressed a lot of things, and I heard that it was a god from the Church of Mother Earth God who put pressure on them. ”

"I also remembered when you said that, didn't you ...... before?"

The conversation quickly shifted from Miss Susie Conrad to the people of Fenerport, and the atmosphere was lively. The vast majority of people are more interested in socio-politics than in lace journalism, and Herwin Lambis is happy with that.

When the topic no longer needed his guidance, he quietly left, and those people still gathered together to discuss loudly, and even more and more people participated in the exchange. In this only rune setting, radical rejection was endless, but no one would stop it. This kind of atmosphere makes people feel brave and feel recognized by everyone, so they are more determined in their ideas.

Herwin Lambis stepped aside and found a glass of liqueur to moisten his throat.

It's so easy to stir the nerves of these idiots.

He took a sip of satisfaction, savoring the sweetness of the fine wine, and glanced at Miss Susie Conrad.

At this glance, the smile on his face suddenly widened a little.

Miss Susie, who was just telling the story, was obviously also affected by the heated discussion here, and the young people around her began to ask strange questions and speak sharp words, which made the face of this strong and lively young lady start to look unpleasant.

Soon, there seemed to be some friction between them, and some of them left one after another.

There were also some people who saw their friends leave, and had to walk away from their new friend Susie with apologies, and it was not long before Miss Susie and her personal maid were left in the group of people who had been lively just now, and a few people who had not yet left.

Miss Susie's mood was more straightforward on her face, she seemed to be in a bad mood, and she had lost the liveliness and happiness she had just had. She maintains good manners and upbringing, but her hanging hands are tightly clenched into fists, which is very funny.

"From Fenerport, it shouldn't be a real illegitimate daughter, maybe it's just a name."

Seeing this scene, admiring the somewhat embarrassed and embarrassed expression on Miss Susie's face, Herwin took another sip of wine in a good mood and turned to walk towards the lounge.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"A small audience from Fenerport, wanting to enter the aristocratic circle of Rune - is it the 'gluttonous' lady who wants to take credit from me?"

"Hehe, such a good opportunity, such a good shortcut to promote the changes of the times, I will not give it to anyone...... As long as I continue like this, it won't be long before conflicts erupt, and the Psychological Alchemy Society will definitely reward me and help me get out of here. (End of chapter)
