Approaching eight o'clock, more and more gentlemen and ladies came to the banquet site, and many of them were some middle-order transcendent bodyguards.

The bright incandescent lamps made them realize the limitations of gas lamps again, and the light of ten gas lamps was not necessarily as good as one incandescent lamp, which was far worse in terms of stability and safety.

Earl Hall looked at the venue, and felt more and more that this was a perfect new energy source.

Even though I've heard of this brightness, it's still incredible when you actually see it.

What's more, incandescent lighting seems to be really cost-effective, and it only takes the efforts of five servants to illuminate an entire wine estate.

Audrey. Hale was alone at the party and talked to the ladies and ladies about homely things, until Gleilynt called her away.

The red wine sparkles in the light, and as she walks along the bluestone brick road illuminated by incandescent lamps, Gleilynt introduces Audrey:

"As early as one or two hundred years ago, Russell the Great invented the incandescent lamp, but the high cost of electricity made incandescent lighting a luxury and was once eliminated.

We were able to see this beautiful sight thanks to my friend Lewis. Mr. Harvey, who used his knowledge and scholarship that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, invented alternating current. ”

He's actually showing off his new friend to me...... Audrey glanced at Glerint in surprise, her mouth slightly open, and she recognized her friend once again.

"Mr. Glerint." Lewis glanced at Miss Audrey, but did not call out the other person's name.

In the real world, he doesn't know Audrey. Hall, it's not safe to call out the other person's name directly.

Audrey lifted the hem of her skirt and nodded slightly to Lewis.

Glerint hurriedly introduced to Audrey:

"Miss Audrey, this is the host of this dinner, Lewis. Mr. Harvey, though he is about my age, is a true genius. ”

Then he said to Lewis:

"Mr. Lewis, this lady is the pearl of Beckland and a good friend of mine, Audrey. Miss Hall, she has a very high piano standard, and I am sure you will love the piano music she plays. ”

He's showing off Mr. Lewis to me, showing off to Mr. Lewis...... Audrey glanced at Gleilynt again in surprise, and the friend's behavior was unbearable for her.

Lewis took off his half-height silk top hat, resisted the urge to shout "justice", and said softly, "Good evening, Audrey. Miss Hall, your beauty is unforgettable to me. ”

"Good evening, Mr. Lewis." Audrey also greets Lewis, who at the moment is the elegant Miss Hall, not the light-voiced Miss "Justice".

At Glerinte's insistence, Audrey took the piano from the performer and played "The Blue Tassok River".

Glerint commented on Audrey's music as if he didn't understand it, and said to Lewis: "Miss Audrey's concert is the best decoration of this dinner. ”

Lewis smiled and nodded, thinking that Miss "Justice" was occasionally distressed that she knew Glerint.

By eight o'clock, all the people who had come to the dinner had arrived, and Lewis chatted with a number of nobles, many of whom had shown a deep interest in alternating current.

The chubby Earl of Hall came up with a cane and said to Lewis:

"Mr. Lewis, the combination of alternating current and incandescent lamps is indeed perfect, and gas lamps cannot reach such a level."

"Your compliment is the best gift I've ever received tonight, Earl Hall." Lewis said modestly.

The man in front of him, although he was Miss Justice's father, was a clever politician and businessman, and it was better not to associate him with Miss Audrey, who was not worldly.

Earl Hall nodded and asked, "How many workers do you need if you want the glow of incandescent lamps to cover Queens?" ”

Lewis thought a little about it, Queens is not large, about one-eighth of a Bakeland, and two small power stations are enough for lighting alone:

"To maintain the lighting in Queens, it takes at least 50 workers."

Only 50 workers? …… Earl Hall looked at the 15 manservants who continued to generate electricity, and suddenly realized that human power generation was not necessarily the only way.

He paused, and said to Lewis in a slightly humorous tone: "Perhaps, you urgently need a large amount of start-up capital. ”

Here, whether I need it or not, my answer must be need, this is called interest bundling, and the answer that is not needed is cold...... Lewis waved his cane quietly and said:

"Yes, I don't have a lot of cash in my hands, and I do need a lot of money for the construction of the power station."

"We can talk." Earl Hall's tone was much more relaxed, and he picked up a glass of red wine from the table and said:

"Let's toast to the light, to the beauty of the night."

Lewis drank a little wine, and he knew that a group of nobles on the scene would become his "friends" and would escort them for their common good.

In the second half of the dinner, the band played light music, and the gentlemen and gentlemen danced merrily.

Audrey never communicated much with Lewis from start to finish, all she knew was that they were helping Mr. "Destiny" do something extremely great.

In order not to reveal each other's identities, it is most correct to communicate less.

Lewis had no intention of dancing, but he received prom invitations from several young ladies one after another, and he could only politely refuse them one by one.

After twelve o'clock, the dinner party was coming to an end, and the gentlemen and ladies went to the prepared rooms to rest.

Lewis played with a coin in his hand, and he threw it into the air and silently recited the divination statement:

"There's going to be trouble tonight......"

Facing up, this means that the divination answer is yes, and you may be in trouble tonight.

Lewis grabbed his cane and slipped out of the manor.

For today's dinner, he not only called some regular police officers, but even brought the "Mechanical Heart" team to help.

In addition, almost all of the nobles who came brought the bodyguards of the transcendents.

Lewis wasn't very worried about the safety of the manor, his only concern was that someone from outside would try to cause trouble.

Every new change may be accompanied by a battle, and the emergence of alternating current will disturb the interests of many nobles and merchants, and some people will inevitably be unable to hold back.

The crimson moon hung high, and many stars twinkled as if the goddess was watching.

Lewis melted himself into the darkness, and he walked slowly, waiting for this to happen.

Suddenly, a faint smile curled into Lewis's mouth, and his inspiration was touched.

"Let me guess what they're going to do? There is no doubt that to attack the nobles in the manor is to seek death, unless there are high-ranking powerhouses involved. ”
