Chapter 2: A Stumbling Block on the Road to Alchemy (Asking for Votes)
"Good afternoon, Duchess!"
When Lee entered the parlor, the ladies who had visited Constantinople stood up and saluted her.
The female guest lowered her head, and her white neck bent down like a swan, extremely respectful.
But the "bubbles" above their heads are not like this......
[It's scary! This is the "mad lady", huh~]
[Wow! She's looking at me!! What to do?! Am I dressing up too ostentatiously today?? 】
[Woo woo, woo woo woo, help, God of Light bless ......]
[Tsk, she's so annoying! If it weren't for her, Balk would have gone home to join me a long time ago, instead of following the Duke after this mad woman. 】
[Poor Balk, he should have seen my new sexy nightdress half a month earlier. 】
Ellie Lee: "......"
In order to have a good mood for both parties, Li Aili turned her toes and sat down on the single sofa by the window, away from the ladies, who were rich in inner activity.
Five days ago, Li Aili was taken back to Constantinople by Duke Leng Jade. Her black market career can only be summed up in one sentence, 'The first emperor started a business halfway, and the middle way was tied home'.
Duke Leng Jade sat in the carriage, and with one look, the knight named "Balk" set fire to the small shop she had been fighting for three months and burned it into a pile of charcoal.
Li Aili felt that her loss could not be eaten in vain, she glanced at the red-haired lady who looked like a noble swan in the "Lady Group" with a slightly raised chin, and took the initiative to start the topic.
"Speaking of which, the day the Knights came back was really lively, and the civilians on both sides of the road warmly greeted the Knights."
The Duchess took the initiative to start the topic, apparently relieving the "ladies group" who were holding their breath.
"I have to say, our knights are very popular. So many young and beautiful girls greeted them with enthusiasm......"
After a pause, she tilted her head slightly, and sure enough, the "bubble" painting style above the heads of the ladies suddenly changed.
【Damn!】 Lance has been in a state of mind for the past two days! Shouldn't you be hooked by a little goblin?? 】
[Ah, this, I want to believe Barton!] He will never be unfaithful to our marriage, oh God of Light bless......]
[Tsk, dead madman, when we're all like you? Suspicious of her husband eating outside all day long? 】
[Hmph! I 'fed Balk' every day~ he didn't have the energy to look at the 'wildflowers' outside! 】
Li Aili looked at the ladies who pricked up their ears and said slowly: "Oh, speaking of which, the most popular should be Deputy Head Balke, but he was hit by a corset thrown down from the second floor." ”
Anne, the wife of Deputy Head Balk, turned green visibly.
Li Aili tilted her head slightly, "At the celebration banquet, they also pulled out the girdle that was hidden by the Balk knight and teased him, I remember." ”
"I remember Balk was married, so he really shouldn't have hidden that woman's corset. What did that make his wife think? Li Elli shook her head, quite disapproving.
What does Anne Sherman think?
Anne Sherman was so mad that she couldn't think of it!
Hearing only a 'click', a certain lady accidentally broke the lace folding fan on her hand, as if it was the lifeblood of some unlucky deputy leader.
Balk's wife, Anne, instantly transformed into an "enraged lioness", and she stood up suddenly, panting, her breasts rising and falling as she was bound to burst out.
Li Aili quietly glanced at the top of Lady Anne's head, and saw a line of blood-red and blood-red characters in the "bubble"-
[Balk Sherman!! Old, mother, slaughtered, you! 】
Seeing this hot-tempered person, Li Aili was immediately relieved, and her smile was much more sincere.
"Ah, this lady, I see that your complexion is not very good, is it uncomfortable? Do you want to go back and 'rest' first? "Lee Elli sincerely 'shushhh
Anne was in a hurry to go home to clean up her dishonest husband, so she was free of politeness, and said directly: "Then I will be out of company!" ”
Watching this red-haired beauty go home in a hurry, Li Aili silently "prayed" for a certain deputy head in her heart:
God of Light, please bless Knight Balk, make sure that he - don't die too easily. (* ̄︶ ̄)
Li Ellie smiled heartily, causing several ladies who were secretly peeking at her to blush.
【My God...... Crazy, crazy lady is so beautiful! 】
[Ahh It's hard to imagine that such a beauty would really be the rumored crazy woman who made the Duke lose face......]
After Lady Anne "killed" home, the living room fell into an embarrassing dead silence again.
Li Aili looked at this group of ladies speechlessly, she really didn't understand what they were doing.
"I said, you are so afraid of me, why do you come here to suffer this sin?" She thought so, and so she asked.
"Because my husband drew lots. The knights who have drawn the red lot, their wives will be in Constantinople today to accompany you. A lady answered the question without hesitation.
Ladies: "......"
Li Aili watched a group of delicate ladies turn pale in unison, and once again had an intuitive understanding of "their own reputation".
"Uh-hehe-hehe! Lily is getting better at joking, hehehe! How can there be such a thing! You have such a great sense of humor! ”
Li Aili just glanced at the lady who was trying to round the scene, and she immediately shook into a quail, and the "bubbles" above her head were all [ahhhhh
Like a screaming chicken.
And the lady, named Lily, blinked her big eyes in confusion, "No, I'm not kidding, that's what George told me." ”
"He also apologized to me, Deputy Head Balk took the lead in the lottery, and he won the [red lot], so Mrs. Anne came, didn't she?"
The lady who tried to round the scene was going to pout.
Fortunately, the men's cheers were heard outside the window, and a room of worried ladies was rescued in time.
The ladies flocked to the window, looking out desperately.
Li Ellie felt that it was the knights outside who were eating, and the ladies could praise their actions as a flower to escape the atmosphere of death in the parlor at this time.
"Oh——!"
There was another earth-shattering cheer, and this time, even Li Aili looked sideways out the window.
I saw that on the sun-drenched grass, the men were riding on war horses with their upper bodies bare, wielding long-handled batting hammers.
Three or four horses huddled together and collided with each other. The man riding them is scrambling for a magic ball flying around.
When Li Aili saw this scene, the memory of the original body was touched. The game of Fernan's knightly ball was very popular among the aristocratic class.
Its popularity is probably equivalent to the World Cup in Li Ailie's last life.
I saw a beautiful hit from the black-haired and blue-eyed handsome duke, the beautiful magic ball drew a perfect "S" curve in the air, bypassing the knight who tried to intercept, and finally the beautiful drop penetrated the goal.
The onlookers whistled one after another.
The ladies blushed in unison, all stunned by the beautiful blow.
A group of abdominal muscles swayed white in the dazzling sun, and the Cold Jade Knights were all outstanding middle-aged men, and the ladies' little faces became redder and redder the more they looked.
"Locke! Rush! Goal! A lady couldn't help but cheer for her husband on the field.
"Lille! Don't lose! Don't come into my room tonight if you lose! ”
The ladies shook their small fans and shouted one after another.
Li Aili looked at the top of their heads, and watched with relish.
[Wow! Do Wilson's abs look better than my husband's? 】
[Lance deserves to be recognized as a "male dog waist", damnable! ] A little envious of Bell! 】
[Ahhh The Duke is so handsome!! Ahhh 】
[Damn! A little jealous of the Duchess, why can she meet such a face every day when she opens her eyes?? 】
Ellie Lee: ......
"Ma'am," the voice sounded, and the ladies who were waving their flags to the men shuddered.
Lily tilted her head slightly, "Madam, why don't you look at His Excellency the Duke?" ”
The ladies who watched the men play stiffened and turned their heads a little.
Sure enough, I saw that the "mad lady" was looking at them with a smile.
Not having fun watching, Li Aili withdrew her gaze and casually skimmed out the window.
Coincidentally, His Excellency the Duke made another shot, half of the field, and directly hit the magic ball into the opponent's goal.
The shouts of the knights watching the battle were shocking, and even on the second floor of the castle, there was a feeling of blood gushing when I heard it.
In the sun, beads of sweat swept across the muscular white chest and fell on the well-defined abdominal muscles. Even though the Knights are beautiful men, Arthur Leng Emerald's face is prominent enough in it.
It's the kind of handsomeness that, in the vast sea of people, can make a woman's heart flutter at a casual glance and run desperately towards love.
Li Aili said: "Probably because he has a face that may turn me green at any time." ”
I don't know if it's called 'telepathy'.
The Duke on the grass suddenly raised his head, his blue eyes as sharp as an eagle pointed directly at Li Ellie, and slowly narrowed slightly.
Li Ailie's words successfully made the ladies present collectively "break the defense". The ladies really couldn't bear such a "pleasant tea time", so they pretended to be suddenly unwell, got up and said goodbye in advance.
Probably because everyone was gone all of a sudden, Lily did the same.
Before leaving, this living treasure dared to talk to Li Aili, "Madam, I think you are different from the rumors. ”
Li Aili looked at this petite woman with small freckles on the bridge of her nose and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Lily waved her hand and, like a bird, bounced away.
Li Aili, who unexpectedly had time alone, locked the door of the small living room with her backhand while her personal maid had not yet come.
After locking the door, Li turned the gold ring on her little finger. The space around them distorted, and a quaint carved gate emerged out of thin air.
She reached for the door and stepped inside.
One door, two worlds.
After entering the "Alchemy House" space, Li Aili felt that his whole body was relaxed.
There is a small two-story stone building on the grassy grass, which is the center of this space - the alchemy house.
Li Aili bypassed the alchemy house and went straight to the "back garden".
The moment she stepped into the "back garden", Li Aili was stunned.
[Your current evil reputation is "0"]
[Your current reputation for kindness is "0"]
[Only a trace amount of "magic plants" grow in the back garden.] 】
[Please pick as soon as possible before sunset to prevent the "magic plant" from dying.】 】
At Evil Reputation 76, she was able to harvest more than 50 "magical plants" in a day to make alchemical potions.
And today, she turned over the entire back garden, only to find 1 "Water Flower" and 1 "Terra Root".
What does it take for a rich woman to be beaten back to the destitute class?
Answer: All it takes is a dog man named Arthur Cold Emerald!
Li Aili clutched the only two "magic plants" and thought about herself who disliked 76's evil reputation before......
Gan!
Li Aili gasped for breath.
She's got to figure out how to get rid of Arthur Cold Emerald!
