Acropolis Izumo, Count Francis' residence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the honorary president of the Izumo Castle Chamber of Commerce, an old aristocrat who knew how to enjoy life, Mr. Count sat behind his desk in his study as usual and enjoyed his breakfast, where fluffy and fragrant brioche bread, fresh eggs fried to the outside and tender on the inside, two slices of smoked cured meat and a glass of hot milk were always his favorites, and of course a newspaper that had just been delivered from Seikyo was indispensable.

On the Nine Heavens Continent, newspapers are not something that anyone can afford to consume. The newspaper in the hands of Count Francis came from the Mage's Guild, and the pale yellow fine linen paper still wafted with the fragrance of ink, and there was still a faint remnant of mana between the dense lines of the words on it.

There are all kinds of things recorded in the newspaper, there are big and small things that have happened in Yanjing in the past few days, Count Francis reads carefully while enjoying breakfast, even the pipe that he usually loves to put aside, in this expensive newspaper he can always find something he needs.

Knock!

There was a soft knock on the door of the study, and Monsieur de Earl frowned, for he did not like to be disturbed while he was enjoying his breakfast, but he was a little relieved to think of the time when the old servant, whom he had served faithfully for decades, had taken leave to return to his hometown, and that he had been replaced by a newcomer.

"Come in..."

If the new servant had been clever enough, he would have been able to hear the hint of displeasure in the count's tone, but the young servant apparently did not notice it, and he quickly pushed open the door and walked over to the desk, respectfully placing a golden invitation in front of the earl.

"Lord Earl, this is an invitation just sent by Viscount Han Fei, the Tulip Lord..."

A young face immediately appeared in the earl's mind.

He put down the newspaper and took the invitation, and snorted noncommittally, but the new servant apparently did not understand the meaning of the sound, and still stooped over his desk until the Count waved impatiently and said, "You can go, and don't disturb me when I have breakfast in the future!"

When the new servant had left the room in frustration, the Earl opened the invitation, shook his head and sighed, "Young man now..."

The content of the invitation was simple, Han Fei invited him to the celebration of the establishment of the club club and the luncheon at Tulip Collar three days later.

As a famous nobleman, Count Francis receives countless invitations every year, but this is the first time he has seen the term clubhouse, and this so-called clubhouse has a rather eye-catching name - honor!

This inevitably aroused a trace of curiosity in the earl, and he couldn't help but think of his acquaintance with Han Fei, this young new nobleman made a very good impression on him, and the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant.

What's more, he was well aware of the relationship between the Izumo Chamber of Commerce and the Red Fox Pirate Group that Han Fei had secretly mastered, so he couldn't find a reason to refuse this invitation.

In the invitation, there is also a small square metal plate, from Piaget's experience, it can be seen at a glance that this metal piece is made of pure gold, which is engraved with complex and peculiar spiritual patterns, the words "Honored Member" are very eye-catching, and the back is a blooming tulip emblem.

"Honorable Clubhouse Club, Honored Members... Is it an aristocratic salon? Mmmm, kind of interesting!"

The Earl's whisper rang out in the study.

At the same time, Yanjing Shengjing, the Lei clan's mansion.

In the quiet and beautiful garden, Old Lady Lei had just finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, his face and forehead were full of beads of sweat after exercise, and his old face was radiant and radiant, it was hard to imagine that he was an eighty-year-old man.

Old lady Lei is not a samurai or a mage, but everyone knows how much he once wanted to be a samurai, and the martial arts and sword skills training every morning is his habit of being untouched by thunder and thunder, and this good habit, coupled with the nourishment and nourishment of taking elixirs, makes him still maintain enough vitality.

One of the maids who served on the side took the sword, and the other gave him a hot towel to wipe his sweat.

At this time, a warrior came to the garden, and he gave Mrs. Ray an invitation, exactly the same as that in Count Francis's hand, the only difference was that the warrior brought something more.

"The Honor Clubhouse, and the membership card... Hmm, what is this little guy doing?" Old Lady Lei was a little surprised.

Of course, no one could answer his question, but the warrior who sent the invitation immediately presented something along with the invitation: "Old lady, His Excellency Viscount Han Fei also sent you a gift!"

The gift was a large bulging bag, apparently tanned from the fur of some kind of spirit animal, wrapped in several silver gleaming metal rods, and attached mesh pouches with a dozen white balls stuffed inside.

"What is this?Spirit Weapon?" Old Lady Lei was very curious and pulled a metal rod out of the bag, it was no secret that he liked to collect spirit weapons, and many gift-givers would do what they liked.

"Weird, what is this?"

But after seeing the true face of this metal rod clearly, Old Lady Lei was completely confused, because he couldn't see what this thing with a curved metal surface at the bottom was for, if it was a weapon, it was not as practical as a thick black wooden stick.

"Old lady, the person who sent this gift said that this is called the Runte Club, and a set of five is used to play the Runte Ball, that is, these small white round balls, and the Tulip Collar has just built a court..."The Guard Samurai quickly explained: "There is also an introduction to the Runte Ball here, you see..."

The unfamiliar term "Runte Ball?" made Old Lady Lei's curiosity even stronger, and he took a thin pamphlet handed by the samurai, flipped through it with interest, and watched as his eyes gradually lit up.

"The person who gave the gift also brought Viscount Han Fei's suggestion, he said that if you are interested, you may wish to stay in the clubhouse for the next two days, he will be happy to have a discussion with you on the court..."

"Uh-huh, got it..."

The Shengbo Municipal Family, the Vine Family, the Rosley Family, the Mage Guild, the Founders Guild... The same or similar situation is happening, the invitations sent from the tulip collar are sent like snowflakes to the various wealthy nobles and trade unions in Yanjing, some of these invitations are ridiculed and thrown directly into the trash, but many more send out a reply to accept the invitation... But in any case, new terms such as the Honor Clubhouse Club, Langte Ball, and Jockey Club began to circulate among the Yenching aristocratic circles, and people were curious and surprised to speculate whether it was a grandstanding move by the young Tulip Lord or something else, but all the answers would be answered after three days, and some even accepted the invitation with the intention of reading the joke.

And no matter how rumors are rumored by the outside world, Tulip Collar is busy completing the final preparations.

Two weeks after Han Fei returned to the territory, the central clubhouse, the Langte Stadium, the racecourse, and the hunting ground were all completed, but there was still a lot of work to buy and recruit servants and maids, and purchase various supplies, food, drinks, and so on.

"This time, we have sent out a total of three hundred and sixty-seven invitations and membership cards, and so far we have received two hundred and eighty-eight replies accepting the invitation..."In the hall of the castle lord's mansion, Han Weier held a thick reply in her hand and said: "The situation is better than we expected, grandpa expects that half of the people will accept the invitation!"

"Han Fei is the youngest Sky Warrior in the Empire, and it is very likely that he will become a god-level warrior in the future, even if the relationship between our Han Clan and the Yun Clan is tense, others still have to give this face..."Han Bixuan, who was sitting next to her, smiled: "But it's hard to say whether you can succeed this time, Han Fei, are you so sure?"

In order to achieve Han Fei's goals, Tulip Ling invested millions of gold coins before and after, such as the construction and interior decoration of the central clubhouse were completed to extremely high standards, not counting the investment in the purchase of recruiters and the expenditure of future salaries, just two botanical and water mages hired to maintain the Langte Stadium, the cost of a year can be ten thousand!

Speaking of this topic, Han Weier, Han Tianqing and Rogge on the side nodded one after another, several people can be said to be in charge of the money bags of the territory together, and they know the most about the income and expenditure, and now the territory is full of large expenditures and no large income, if it weren't for Han Fei's timely injection of a large amount of funds, the current Tulip Collar would have been on the verge of bankruptcy.

It is foreseeable that with the establishment of facilities such as the central clubhouse and the Langte Stadium, the future expenses are bound to increase significantly, and if you can't make enough money in them, I am afraid that it will really become a laughing stock.

In their opinion, Han Fei's plan is a bit of a desperate gamble, and the only thing that makes everyone feel confident is that Han Fei's earning ability is still extremely strong, and not just anyone can go out and bring back millions of gold coins.

"Can anyone tell me what my grandfather is doing now?" Han Fei asked with a smile.

"Grandpa and Mrs. Lei are at Langte Stadium!" Han Weier said with a smile: "The two of them have become obsessed with this kind of ball, and it is estimated that they will be where they will be all day today!"

Old Lady Lei came to Tulip Castle yesterday, and as soon as she came, she couldn't wait to pull Han Fei to see the new thing of the Runte ball.

The rules of the Langte ball are actually quite simple, after getting familiar with the rules, the old lady Lei simply stayed in the Lord's Mansion, because Han Fei had too many things, so the one who played with him became Han Wuguo, who also liked the Langte ball!
