——

Handmade wool carpets, ornate chairs carved from ivory inlaid with high-quality spar particles, six crystal glass chandeliers that illuminate the hall as bright as day, and portraits of beautiful ladies hanging on the walls, the first thing you feel is ...... This is clearly a mansion hall that could not be more noble. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info) 56 The handsome poet who plucks the lute, or a small band of three or five, is playing their own tune in every corner, looking attentive and no one else. And their melody, however light or ornate, never leaves a quarter of the hall, nor does it produce an unpleasant reverberation.

Edward quietly followed a group of noisy little guys into here, it seemed that he had long been accustomed to all the luxury, but the invisible magic enchantment in his eyes made him sigh secretly in his heart, sure enough, a big city like Romandy is always a paradise for the rich.

There weren't many tables in the hall, but now there were just a few people sitting around, most of them were richly dressed nobles, occasionally a few rich men, but whether they were twenty years old, the luxurious and simple aristocratic young master with only a family crest was gorgeous and dazzling, or the white-haired old man who longed to wear twenty-two huge gemstone rings on ten fingers. All of them were quiet, as if they were just enjoying the food on the table, the wine in the glass, and ...... The flowers around me in different shapes.

A maid with a youthful and innocent face, wrapped in a white ruffled apron, an elegant lady dressed like a noble family, a female knight in a sky-blue training attire, a short sword at her waist, and a priestess in a white burqa with a holy emblem on her chest...... If it weren't for the almost identical, business-like smiles on their faces, and if it weren't for the impassable barriers of identity in this society, Edward might have really thought that they were just the companions that the men brought with them.

"I'll ...... I thought the origin of otaku culture was after the computer?" The incredulity flashed through my mind, and some self-proclaimed well-informed guy couldn't help but mumble to himself.

Rather than the chief's astonishment, the people here were obviously accustomed to it, so when a group of teenage hairy imps entered the scene wrapped in magic robes, they didn't attract side glances, or occasionally a few of them threw some incredible glances at the youngest of them, but there was not much mockery in this incredulity, but a male would smile and marvel good-naturedly.

And when the apprentice who had led them here casually threw a few glittering knick-knacks to the servant who led the way, the group was given some special treatment, and sat down at a long table in a quiet corner.

"Well, today's invitation to everyone is just a small private party, so please don't be inhibited...... Speaking of which, Lord Vincent, we haven't congratulated you yet. ”

The young nobleman sitting next to Edward was the first to pick up the wine glass on the table: "Although the venue is a little informal and there are not enough people, let's raise a glass first, congratulations to one of us, someone has finally taken the first step, and I wish everyone here can go hand in hand and walk out of their own broad path in the world of magic." ”

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke, it's just luck,...... That ......"

Unexpectedly, the topic turned to himself at the beginning, Edward frowned, he wanted to deal with it calmly, but after only half a sentence, there was some embarrassment in his voice - although the relationship with this righteous young man was the most gentle among all his classmates, but after all, he had only met three times, and until today, he didn't know what the other party's name was......

"Call me William. However, the other party obviously didn't care about this little faux pas, he nodded lightly, and quietly resolved the embarrassment: "Although my real name is said to bring me lucky gods, after all, the pronunciation is a little tongue-twisting." So, please call me that way in the future. If you don't mind, I guess you might as well call each other by their first names?"

Or maybe people are creatures who are always used to pushing glasses and changing lamps to get closer to each other, and even though it's just a glass of aperitif, the situation seems to be warmed up by this. After a few bland introductions, the apprentices began to talk and laugh, starting with a few days of schooling, and then quickly entering the familiar field.

Edward took a sip of light white wine, and as his eyes swept around, he noticed that the little ones were no longer looking at him with the contempt or embarrassment they had seen before, but more eagerness and gestures.

This is not surprising - obviously some news about themselves has spread, although these little guys here still lack qualifications, but those who can learn magic, their thinking will not turn too slowly, especially their family composition, either businessmen or bureaucrats, under the influence of ears and eyes, seeing the wind and the rudder is not a profound ability, this kind of standing in line, naturally can be done without leakage.

**The teachers are almost gods, omnipotent, and have their blue eyes, so even if they are a genuine hillbilly, they are no longer ordinary, what is the point of a little verbal filth? If they can get some way to get close to the masters, the apprentices don't mind, and they are very willing to pay any price, dignity?

At the moment, of course, these purposes are not yet suitable for revealing - too much urgency will only lead to boredom, so these little ones can only be cautious, little by little, and look forward to the development of the so-called friendship.

But if you put aside this goal, which obviously requires a long time to work on, the rest is simpler - if you don't have the strength to tire out the noblewomen or the queen of socialising, then don't let yourself be the protagonist and harlequin of a farce...... Let's focus on what you can do. Fortunately, the biggest selling point here, although in those professional actresses, they also have the best reputation in the whole kingdom in terms of satisfying other ** of guests.

Well, or the reputation of the kingdom as a whole, it didn't satisfy Edward.

The food culture in this world is actually in the process of development, so there will be no half-baked things, and there are no too elaborate dishes, and the same is true in this store, although the decoration is magnificent, and the service is first-class, but in terms of how to satisfy the appetite, it is impossible to satisfy someone from a big foodie country.

Desserts, cakes, and pies made with cream are also delicious snacks. However, in cooked food, most of them are simple condiments of smoking, roasting, frying, stewing, and boiling, whether it is meat or vegetables, they are far worse than Edward's craftsmanship...... Moreover, the mastery of spices is only in the initial stage, so although a lot of effort has been put in, the taste is still relatively monotonous.

As if to reflect the taste of luxury, ordinary barbecue and other things are also added with a lot of spices, but the taste is a little too much, and there is a spicy taste, only the attentive service of the waiter still adds a lot of color to these things - some hot food is taken directly from the fire and then cut into pieces, so that guests can eat hot food, and it also has a unique flavor.

But what really made Edward criticize was the odd combinations.

Slow-roasted badgers are chopped and sprinkled in mashed potatoes with herbs, or griffins are boiled with peppers, milk and plenty of salt. This dish is a bit ...... Not to mention the strange things like charcoal-grilled centipedes wrapped in onions, roasted bird spiders, or giant ants,

Although he knew that the white ointment was probably rich in protein, no matter how elated the little ones were, Edward felt sick to his stomach - but it seemed to be good...... Because those ornately decorated menus also seem to have words such as stewed rat meat. Things like roasted horse legs, paste-like horse bone marrow broth, and even scavenging animal legs are also considered exquisite.

Well, aside from all these unappetizing things, this hotel called Lucky Rabbit's Foot is actually quite classy, at least they have what is said to be the richest variety of romantice, and you can find it here if you name it. So Edward ordered a bottle of wine from the Estate's cellars and a great vintage – a wine that, due to the recipe, was mellow, but didn't seem to be too high in alcohol, just right for the greasy and spicy flavors of the roast.

Compared to the chief's calmness, the other apprentices were not so lucky.

For flattery, or comparison, or whatever, they soon chose the same drink, not knowing that they were not actually old enough to enjoy the sapulop in peace......

Even if the concentration of these wines is not high, it quickly exceeds the amount that these imps can handle.

Alcohol can make people weird, or they can make people weird with them. Or because it can weaken their vigilance and amplify their feelings, these dozen little ghosts, although they did not get drunk for a while, began to become excited or relaxed, and some local people began to show off their erudition, and the ones who were shown off began to talk about what they knew. The sound is getting louder and louder.

Of course, as half-people who have just obtained the status of apprenticeship, they naturally don't discuss any magic skills professionally - the secret of lust and pleasure is the most appropriate subject matter, isn't it?

"Vincent, well, Lord Edward, you're from the provinces, so you may not be very clear about this place...... Hehe, in fact, a store like this 'Lucky Rabbit's Feet' is just an ordinary pastime on this street - the extended romantine family likes to use grand family feasts and balls to show that they are using their financial resources to build and strengthen their relationships, but here, they can get complete relaxation. So don't look at the guys downstairs, the women around you are very beautiful, but in fact, most of the time, they just drink with those people......

An apprentice shook the wine glass in his hand, or the effect of alcohol, he was a little incoherent, but he looked triumphant, as if he was glad to find an opportunity to show off in front of his companions: "En, speaking of which, compared to men's pastimes, those famous ladies are much more open-minded...... They fed the most hidden shops. The level there is not comparable to this kind of place, but as long as there is a way to enter it, you can ...... them at will Hehe, however, that also requires considerable ability, after all, those upper-class women...... Tut-tut, it's not an ordinary storage zài, a mature woman is comparable to a purgatory demon tiger, a lady, at least a winter wolf. ”

I have to say that this kind of obscene topic in high society is always the thing that can resonate the most, and the laughter and scolding in the banquet suddenly fell silent, so the little guy who looked just over ten years old pretended to be mysteriously lowered his voice:

"You know, it's said that their recent popular game seems to be to pick out handsome men with strong and sturdy holes in a wall...... Stores that offer these services screen men for age, appearance, nationality, and even ethnicity exactly what they want! And, in order to hide the last shame of the women, or to fear the leakage of their identity, they often provide elaborate masks. It is said that those shops are exclusive to ladies, and the guys inside have some skills, enough to make every customer get a return equivalent to the gold coin, so there are not a few noble ladies who are willing to linger and never get tired of it. ”

"That's amazing, but how do you know? Isn't it a place for ladies......?

With a casual question, the group of imps happily sent the hapless show-off into an awkward abyss, Edward took another drink, feeling the sweetness of the fruit down his throat and turning into the mellow aroma of the slowly released wine, but he was considering whether he should tell the waiter to bring some ice cubes, but a voice suddenly entered his ears,

Oh well, it's everyone's ears.

“...... That's true, but he probably went to enjoy the milk of almsgiving...... After all, for those imps who can only use their mouths, this is the most satisfying 'reward' for them. ”

The mockery contained in the loud sneer, bordering on provocation...... So the children's talking, laughing, scolding, or other voices stopped at this moment, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the richly dressed young man with his back to them.

"Bastard, what did you say?"

"You guy...... I haven't been weaned!"

The combination of youthfulness, crowds, alcohol, and many other factors will naturally make a group of imps explode at the touch of a ripe horse-after a slight pause, several of the little ones jumped up screaming as if they had been stepped on their tails, and one even pulled a wand from his waist in a menacing manner.

Edward's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brow furrowed.

In fact, if the reason is investigated, it should be said that these apprentices are indeed too noisy, and the guests who originally enjoyed the quiet conversation around them seem to have left one after another - the identity of the mage's apprentice is not necessarily worse than a baron and viscount, and maybe even the forces behind it are more profound, not to mention that there are more than a dozen gathered here, so although they are not reasonable, most of them still choose to quietly avoid evil and seek good fortune.

It's just that things in the world will always exist in necessity and chance.

Actually, milk is much better than wine for you, at least it can make you grow up faster and get some real pleasure for a lady...... And if you touch the wine too early, it will only make you lose that little bit of weak capital quickly. ”

The sneering figure stood up, gently reached out and patted the shoulder of the lady dressed as a priest beside him, and then swept the faces of the imps with a cold gaze.

He didn't look very old, but he was in his early twenties, but the family crest on the collar was old enough—the golden and red patterns that symbolized the bloodline, even Edward, who had not studied the family or the badges, could see that it was extraordinary. As for the elegance shown by its owner, it is indeed in line with it.

So the scene unexpectedly fell into a stalemate, a few slightly larger, as well as apprentices with a little aristocratic background, at the same time showed some hesitation, and the original momentum of the babbling was also lowered because of this. Their eyes rolled, but they didn't seem to want to give in for a moment.

But their opponents didn't seem to want to stop there: "Do you think I'm not right? Well, then try and see which of you can win the favor of the ladies in this 'lucky rabbit's foot'?" If any of you have the ability to satisfy them, then I can be generous, and I will pay for all your future expenses here." ”

His gaze met slightly with William beside him, and Edward noticed the helpless shrug of the other party, so he coughed dryly, and was about to open his mouth to make a round - after all, his status here is special, both high and low, and it seems that it is most suitable to do this kind of thing.

But the next moment, someone spoke before him and took over the job.

"Oh, what's the matter? Young Master Clarin, why be so angry?"

It was a lazy, hoarse voice, but not imperfect in the slightest, and it seemed to have some kind of magic that made the room fall silent for a moment.

And as expected, it was a woman, a beautiful woman, who spoke...... A charming, seductive beautiful woman.

The woman gently waved the colorful feather folding fan in her hand, letting out a giggle chuckle, and the figure swaying slightly with the laughter seemed to be able to pull everyone's heartbeat.

In fact, her appearance is not very beautiful, although the bridge of the nose is slender, but the place where it meets the arch of the eyebrows, it seems too deep, the lips are thicker, the cheekbones are too high, the blue-gray eyes are very bright, but too bright, so this face is full of a wild nature that is difficult to tame, and if you observe her vision better, you can notice that between the corners of the eyes and the tips of the eyebrows, there are some fine textures.

However, the body wrapped in a long red dress was so delicate and abrupt, that the high place would never be low, the concave place would never be flat, the exquisitely cut long skirt was bright red, bright red and bright, and the neckline was slightly separated by a great limit, revealing all the delicate white jade-like neck, so that the figure looked very much like a large blooming flower. That touch of white greasy is the stamen of Tufang.

The wonderful dress made this woman full of a strange temptation.

What is temptation?

The great sage of this world, the great philosopher Aresto, seems to have said that the so-called temptation is not the appearance that makes people notice at the first time, but the ** buried deep in it.

There is no doubt that Edward thought that the woman who appeared before him was seductive, because she was a woman who would be reminiscent of a bed at first glance.

It's just that such associations are usually only suitable for his ...... At least a middle-aged man in mind -

Therefore, the eyes of the apprentices were focused on the plump woman for only a moment, and then they were snatched away by the group of warblers and swallows who were walking down the stairs behind her—they were all dressed in different ways and looked different in appearance, but they did not look too old, and their number was almost the same as the number of apprentices. And with the lady's words, their figures deftly floated down the stairs, and flew to each apprentice's side like butterflies. (To be continued.)
