Chapter 668: Temptation
When the orcs entered the gate of the manor, Waddington also turned away, and calm returned to the cold jade gate.
However, most of the young people's faces were not good-looking, and they were a little indignant, after all, the half-orcs before could be said to have provoked everyone together.
And Rage cursed quietly beside Gervais.
"Damn, these bastard orcs!"
"Let's go, let's go in first!"
Gervais shook his head slightly, his strength is not as good as that of others, and it is useless to scold a few words now.
Those half-orcs were rampant at the gate of this cold jade manor, obviously deliberately looking for fault, probably also wanting to test the strength of the human youth.
"Okay, let's go in first."
Hearing Gervais's words, Ratchey put aside his previous unhappiness and dismounted with Gervais and headed towards the gate of the manor.
When the two came to the gate, they didn't wait for the attendant to ask, and directly displayed the invitation in front of the attendant.
The attendant immediately saluted the two of them respectfully, and another of them ran over and took Rakhi's horse and sent it for storage.
Gervais's nightmare was sent back to the Dark World after dismounting, so there was nothing to store.
Then the two of them were led by the attendants into the gate of the Cold Emerald Manor, and they got into the carriage provided by the Cold Emerald Manor directly as last time.
As the carriage moved along, four or five minutes later, a splendid building appeared in front of Gervais's eyes.
At this time, the squares, gardens, and lawns around the building were already full of people, accompanied by melodious music, and the sound of young men and women talking or laughing could be heard from time to time.
There were so many people who came to Adella's birthday that the outside of the building became a banquet venue.
Of course, the people outside here are all young men and women, because inside the main hall of the building are basically the lords of the Holy City or their heirs, simply put, the main lords who are attending the banquet.
And on the outside, these are the second sons or other nephews like Rakhi.
In this era of no entertainment, cocktail parties and banquets are the favorite occasions of the upper class, regardless of gender, young and old.
Therefore, many guests who can come in time will basically bring a few more children to come, so that they can gain insight and make contacts.
"Let's go, Harry, let's go inside!"
After getting out of the carriage, Ratchet looked at the crowd in the square, did not stop, and triumphantly beckoned Gervais towards the gate of the building.
Although Ratchet is the second son, he is a friend of Adella when he drinks Gervais, and he has Adella's special banquet invitation, so he can naturally enter this hall.
Gervais didn't say much, and just walked side by side with Ratchey.
Then the two of them came to the gate, and a line of attendants immediately saluted them respectfully, and Waddington himself was waiting at the door.
When Waddington saw the two approaching, he nodded at them slightly, and then Gervais and Ladge walked through the door unimpeded, for Waddington must have recognized them.
Arriving in the hall, Gervais found that it was much more lively than outside, and there were hundreds of people.
In addition to the Terrans of the Holy Alliance, some orcs who had come in earlier were also in another section of the hall, and the Terrans and Orcs occupied both sides of the hall, each enjoying their own food.
I don't know if it was agreed in advance, but the orcs in this hall are only half-orcs, and there are no pig-headed people and kobolds and the like.
It's not going to be a loss of appetite, as Raky said before.
Although the orcs also have fangs and blue skin, they still have a bit of resemblance to humans, and the orcs who can come here are obviously not ordinary people in the orc court, so they are also neatly dressed and will not be sloppy than humans.
Then Gervais looked at the high platform again, and now that Adella, the main lord, had not yet arrived, it would definitely take a while for the banquet to officially begin.
The orc princess was obviously not present, and Gervais saw mostly male orcs.
"Harry, you sit here for a while, I'll go find my father and brother, and I'll come back to you later!"
Entering the hall and coming to a nearby long table, Rage greeted Gervais and prepared to leave for a while.
Ratchey's father and brother arrived in the City of Hope this afternoon, because Ratch had his own invitation, so he didn't wait for him, and came to the Cold Emerald Manor early.
"Well, there you go! I'll sit by myself for a while! ”
Gervais nodded, and after parting ways with Ratchey, he went straight to the long table and got a juice drink.
Taking a slight sip of the drink, feeling that it tasted good, at least stronger than the wine on the table, Gervais glanced up and found that there was a row of seats in front of him with empty seats, so he walked over.
Then Gervais sat on this chair and began to wander the sky, mainly reminiscing about the first time he met his cheap wife.
At that time, Gervais was like a dick in his previous life, but the cheap wife was the existence of a goddess, but he didn't expect that in the end, the swan fell off by himself and smashed on his own toad.
"Cheap wife, you have to wait for me, I still want to have a bunch of babies with you!"
Caroline's news is currently available, but Alice has no news, so Gervais is most worried about Alice, for fear that something will happen to his cheap wife.
"Harry!"
Just when Gervais was wandering the sky alone, he suddenly heard a call in his ear.
Gervais immediately came to his senses and looked to the side, only to find that the person who called him was Lolita, the little rich woman.
"Miss Lolita, what a coincidence!"
Gervais wanted to laugh at this chick, but on the surface he pretended to be friendly.
Anyway, last time before letting go of Lolita, Gervais really slapped a few times, and the sound was crackling.
However, with the figure of Lolita, a little rich woman, it shouldn't really hurt, at most it's just a skin injury.
"Why are you sitting here alone, there are a lot of noble ladies over there, it stands to reason that you young people don't like to talk to noble ladies the most at banquets?"
Lolita is wearing a fiery red off-the-shoulder dress today, with slender and smooth snow-white shoulders and a strong sense of impact from the red dress, which makes this chick look extremely enchanting and moving.
However, unlike in the past, Lolita has changed her previous indifference today, and her tone is a little soft and half-joking when she talks to Gervais.
Lolita's performance immediately made Gervais secretly vigilant in his heart, this chick has already seen a thing or two of his temperament.
Don't look at Lolita's bewitching clothes and seems to be as passionate as fire, but in fact, she is an indifferent person, and her temper is not small, if you hate her, it will last forever, and Gervais himself is the best representative.
Now Adella laughs with herself for no reason, which is not at all in line with her old style.
Of course, although he was on guard in his heart, Gervais was still the same on the surface.
"Hehe, Miss Lolita, although I am now a student of the Alliance Academy, I have self-knowledge, and those noble ladies will definitely turn around and leave if they know my identity, so I might as well sit here and eat and drink in peace, so as not to disappoint!"
Gervais said to Lolita with a smile.
"Hehe, this is not necessarily, I heard that Harry, you have a very good relationship with Miss Adella, maybe you can make a difference in Sky City through Miss Adella in the future."
Lolita laughed and replied seemingly casually.
After listening to Lolita's answer, Gervais was stunned, and finally knew what this chick was doing today when she changed her indifference and talked to her.
She must have been for the mysterious apothecary's business.
It is estimated that Gervais has had too much contact with Adele during this time, although he only borrowed books from each other to return books, but it still inevitably arouses suspicion.
And this Lolita happens to be familiar with him, so this chick should want to take the opportunity to test it.
"I want to too, but I don't know if I have this opportunity, after all, there are too many excellent magicians in the Alliance Academy!"
"I even had no choice but to give up because I didn't have enough gold coins, but I had no choice but to give up, but fortunately, Adela lent me those books because of her friendship from the last adventure!"
"Oh? And such a thing, it seems that Miss Adella is such a kind person! ”
Lolita looked at Gervais carefully and found that Gervais's expression was natural, his eyes were not dodging, and he secretly said in his heart.
"Is it really just an ordinary classmate and friend relationship?"
