Chapter 97: Return the Gift
Earl Stewart's unexpected invitation made David's whole person unhappy, he didn't expect that there was his own business here: "It's my honor to invite Lord Earl......
"Then it's decided, I'll send someone to pick you up in the evening." Earl Sutton-Stewart looked at David and Sharon with a smile, and finally bowed to the two very politely: "For now, I won't disturb the two of you to eat." ”
Nodding to the attendant beside him, the attendant who had already placed the gift box next to him left the hotel suite with the Earl in his arms, and closed the door very politely.
Looking at Earl Sutton Stewart, who came and left in a hurry, David didn't know what to say about this man? A truly aristocratic gentleman with good manners?
From the eyes that looked at Sharon, he only saw another kind of gentleman, that kind of straightforward and undisguised gaze, which made Sharon feel very uncomfortable, but the other party did not take actual action, so she did not break out.
As for looking at his own eyes, David simply thought it was strange.
"You're going to dinner with the earl?" Sharon turned to look at David, "Didn't you say before that you would observe the situation again?" ”
"I want to say that although I am honored by the Earl's kind invitation, ......" Davy spread his hands: "Before I could say the rest of my words, the Earl was gone. ”
"This man is playing with humanity." Sharon saw through Earl Stewart's tricks.
First polite greetings, then gifts, normal people face a nobleman who is much higher than themselves, but is still very polite to themselves, even if they want to refuse, they will express it as tactfully as possible. At this time, Earl Stewart did not give the other party a chance to express his true meaning at all, so he left directly.
"This person makes me feel very bad." It can even be said that it is very poor, after Sharon came into this world, Count Stewart should be the person she dislikes the most, not one of them.
David didn't say anything, Earl Stewart's etiquette on the surface was very good, it was simply impeccable, but the arrogance in his bones was not concealed, and it was also vividly displayed.
"Although the actual plot is different from the script, it can be regarded as achieving the goal?" David glanced at Sharon next to him: "Maybe at dinner, that Earl Stewart will tear off his disguise and reveal his true nature?" ”
"If I wound this count, will it affect your plans?" Watching David pick up the two gift boxes and walk back to the dining table, Sharon, who also returned to the table, stared at David deadly: "Wounding an earl in the capital of the kingdom should not be a trivial matter. ”
"It doesn't matter." David didn't look up, as if he didn't notice Sharon's gaze, he just opened the box to look at the gift: "If he really wants to do something to you, you can kill him on the spot." ”
"Are you serious?" Sharon originally suspected that David would ask her not to make a move in order to obtain the nobility of the Tiran Kingdom, but she didn't expect the other party to give such an answer: "In that case, you will also be implicated." ”
Killing local nobles in the royal city is not the same thing as showing martial prowess, and will make Sharon and David instantly stand on the opposite side of the entire upper echelons of the Kingdom of Tiran.
At that time, let alone any aristocratic status, the nobles were afraid that they would demand that the two be hanged on the spot.
"Whether it's nobility or whatever, the premise for me to get these things is that our own people are not harmed or offended in any way, whether physically or verbally."
This is David's truest thoughts, in the past, he understood the saying 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you', he himself didn't want to be angry with the aristocracy, why let others endure the oppression of these people?
After activating the golden finger, what he valued most was his personal combat power, and the fundamental reason was to ensure that when necessary, he could evaluate his strength and choose to refuse. This time, Wang Du chose to let Sharon accompany him, and he also valued that the other party had enough combat power to protect himself and counterattack.
Throwing the box containing the jewels on the table, he looked at the sword in the long box, the handle of the sword and the scabbard were inlaid with precious stones, and it looked very ornate, as if it were a decorative sword.
But when David pulled out the blade a little and heard the melodious sound of the sword, he knew that this magnificent sword was a real weapon, and that its purpose was more than just an ornament to hang on his body.
The old alchemist, who had never had a sense of existence, turned his head to look at it when he heard the sound of the sword, and gave an evaluation: "The blade is made of gold and broken iron steel, it is a very good long sword, and the earl has made a lot of money." ”
By the way, Newton looked at the ruby jewelry in another gift box: "This set of jewelry is not ordinary jewelry, it has some special magical effects. ”
"Oh? Can you tell what kind of magic it is? David was surprised, he didn't expect this to be a set of magic accessories? Are there any shields, fireballs, or other spells on it?
"Just a warmth spell that saves the wearer from being afraid of the cold." Newton could see the effect of the spell attached to it at a glance: "In the freezing weather of Tiran, this spell is still quite useful." ”
“……”
With no shields, no fireballs, it's a jewel that allows the wearer to wear dresses that aren't suitable for winter in the cold.
"I bet the guy who came to pick us up tonight will also give you a dress."
Sharon rolled her eyes speechlessly, and expressed her attitude to David: I'd rather not have this noble title, we can't suffer! Afterward, the suspicion that had just risen in Sharon's heart had dissipated.
"I don't want to wear a dress or jewelry from a stranger."
"Coincidentally, that's what I thought."
Placing the sword back in the box and casually placing it aside on the table, David continued to eat.
"David."
"Huh?"
"If you don't have a good conversation with that earl, or even tear your face directly, what will happen to your Winter Village?"
"This ......" The piece of meat that was originally delivered to his mouth paused for two seconds before being brought to his mouth by a fork, and he chewed a few bites vigorously: "It depends on what kind of reaction the kingdom side will have." ”
The good situation is that there is no response, and I am too lazy to take care of your remote rural village; The worst-case scenario is nothing more than trying to kill David. At that point, David didn't have much to choose from. He didn't want to die, of course he would fight to the end with the Kingdom of Tiran.
"That's the worst possible scenario."
I just don't know what will happen to my gold finger at that time? So far, David, the golden finger, can only rely on his own exploration and research, he is only sure that the development of the village will allow the golden finger to obtain a certain degree of upgrading and strengthening, but the specific details are not clear at all.
Even, the last upgrade of the golden finger was recognized by the legal principles of the Kingdom of Tiran? Or does the actual development of Winter Village meet the requirements? He didn't have any way to judge accurately.
This time I came to the royal capital, and I didn't have the idea of figuring it out.
Again, it is naturally a good thing to be able to obtain the status of nobility and the legal recognition of the Kingdom of Tiran without loss.
If he has to come out on the whole day, David is not prepared to get used to anyone, even if he can't defeat the Kingdom of Tiran in a short time, but 'this person' is not to think about it.
The two of them finished their meal, and Sharon learned more about some of David's thoughts.
Prior to this, although Sharon had lived in Winter Village for a short time, she and David did not have much contact in private, and her understanding of the village chief was relatively superficial, and she couldn't even tell David's specific personality.
"I have to say, you're a little different from what I thought before."
"How?"
"Originally, seeing that you were so obsessed with wanting to obtain aristocratic status, I thought you were the kind of person who took your position of power very seriously!"
After listening to Sharon's evaluation, David did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with being misunderstood, but laughed: "Actually, in a way, I do attach great importance to these things. ”
It's just that he knows that there are things that can't be given up at the expense of wanting something else. Some things are easy to discard, but it's hard to pick them up.
He didn't say this, and after eating the intermittent lunch, David and the other waiters came in and packed up the dishes, then took out his bags and rummaged through them.
Sharon, who was looking for something to pass the time, sat back when she saw David's movements: "What are you looking for?" ”
"Gifts." David kept digging out shoe boxes, stockings, cosmetics and other items from his bag, and Sharon on the other side looked full of question marks: "The Earl gave gifts first when we met, and we can't go empty-handed when we go to the banquet." ”
The other party invited them to the banquet politely and politely, not with a knife on the necks of the two of them.
In this case, no matter what happens next, proper etiquette must be observed, and David will definitely have to offer some gifts as a greeting gift.
"I understand what you say, but what are you carrying?" Sharon looked at the few items on the table in front of her, all of them were very common 'daily necessities', and they were all feminine products: "Why do you put these things in your bag?" ”
"That's what you say?" David picked up a repackaged, unrepackaged, unremarkable-looking stocking, "If you talk to your father a lot, you know how powerful this thing is." ”
Sharon was speechless, she knew what David's words meant, but the crux of the matter wasn't here, right?
"That Earl Sutton-Stewart is a man." Although high heels and stockings were originally made for men, the style of dressing for men in this world is not like the trend of that period on the earth.
Davy rummaged for a while, and finally decided on the type of gift, in addition to a few socks, there was also a corresponding color of combat armor: "As a man, it is even more difficult for him to resist the charm of these. ”
