Chapter 52, The Pawn and the Weight of the Lost Country
"If it's too late, I suggest you tie a bow around your arm and treat yourself as a gift, for my dear brother will not refuse such a beauty." Dan blinked, then watched a shy red creep up to Mo Lin's pretty face, and then laughed out loud in Mo Lin's annoyance.
"You! You...... How can you do that! I ......"
Poson held back a smile and tried to pretend to be serious, he patted his sister's little head, "I think Mr. Danxi's suggestion is very good, you can consider it." ”
"Brother! How do you too! ”
Poson finally couldn't hold back his smile, and he couldn't stop begging for mercy under Mo Lin's successive pink fists.
But the butler who was driving the car interjected with interest.
"I can help with bows. I remember learning a way to animate the weave. ”
"Mr. Butler...... Why don't you ......?"
The crowd in front of them suddenly thinned out, only a few scattered shops were open, and when they saw the black limousines with carved keel crosses coming, everyone retreated to both sides of the road and watched the limousines depart with respectful eyes. That's the car of the Norton Pavilion, and this is not a small area, all belong to the territory of the Norton Pavilion, and they even pay taxes every year differently from ordinary people, not under the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce, and can be directly handed over to the logistics office of the Norton Pavilion, and it is precisely because of this that their taxes are lower than those of the shops outside, but unfortunately the review of identity and qualifications is relatively strict, and it is often randomly audited. No, the new store that opened just a few weeks ago was forced to close today.
After a certain distance, there are no shops on either side of the wide road, and this is undoubtedly the easiest part of the road home, with no vehicles, no forks, just step on the accelerator and let the black limousine charge forward fearlessly like a horse in the hands of a skilled knight.
At the end of the road is the distinctive iron gate of the Norton Pavilion, a pattern of keel crosses that sparkles in the midday sun. Different from the past, at this time, there is a carriage with a very ancient style parked in front of the iron gate, and the just right bend has a natural meaning, and there are many mysterious patterns on the carriage, which seems to explain the principle of the unity of heaven and man.
Hearing the sound of a car engine not far away, an old figure stood tremblingly in front of the carriage with the support of the coachman, quietly waiting for the return of the master.
The black limousine slowed down quickly, and then landed smoothly, Dan Yan opened the car door and walked down slowly, his purple peach blossom eyes were full of surprise, and he gestured to let the old butler take Fran and the others back to rest first. After the limousine drove into the Norton Pavilion, Dan Yan walked up to the old man, folded his hands into fists, and bowed, "I was surprised to see you, Lord Pawnke." ”
The pawn who appeared at the scene of the Battle of Hannah in the past showed a slightly strange smile on his pale face, "Why be surprised, you must know the intention of the old decay." ”
"Is it to bear the weight of the country?" Dan Yan smiled bitterly, "You also know my temperament, I have a headache to deal with those mundane affairs that my father doesn't care about at all, I'm afraid I can't bear that weight." ”
The pawn smiled and said nothing, just looking at the appearance of the junior in front of him trying to excuse himself, and seeing enough of the embarrassed appearance of Dan, who was called the food delivery person, made his mood that had not been turbulent for a long time a little happy.
You must know that the title of food delivery person makes many beings extremely afraid of it in many planes, but that skillful magic and secret ritual is enough to make ordinary beings tremble. The name "Delivery Person" comes from the fact that during a certain plane conflict, Dan Shi, who was the first Bishop of the Feast, wrote a menu by hand, and then an outrageous team of chefs appeared in the food plane under his command, humming songs and frying and stir-frying, and the culprits who caused the conflict were forced into various dishes written on the menu.
One is not more, one is not less.
This incident was highlighted by the third series of black cat tabloids issued by the Black Cat Newspaper under the command of the sniffer, and the title is: Shock! Hell's food delivery man!
Well, this newspaper has generated a lot of proof of existence, including some owners who like to eat, and they are even secretly planning how to infiltrate the scene that has been protected by layers and taste such a ruthless masterpiece.
There are even quite a few gamblers who bet on who will get the first bite.
However......
The feaster came a day later with great interest and ate all the food in one bite, including the innocent palace that was only used to preserve food.
Looking at the food delivery person in front of him, who was gradually a little panicked, the pawn showed an unnatural smile, he retracted his thoughts that had drifted away, and by the way, he sighed that people always like to think cranky when they are old, hmm...... How old are you?
"Ahem...... Mr. Pawnke......"
"Ah...... Don't panic, little guy, the old man is not here for you this time. ”
The pawn laughed, and there was a smile on his pale and lifeless face that was enough to stop the child's night crying.
"You're here for Furron?" Hearing the pawn's words, Dan Yan breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart, but then asked with a frown.
"Yes, His Majesty seems to be interested in him. So he sent the old man to take a look. ”
"How could His Majesty the Dragon Emperor be interested in a family member of Fran? That's interesting, and I have no problem with what you said about letting Fran bear the burden of his country, but you'll need to consult with him personally. ”
The pawn nodded, and there was a sense of stiffness in his body movements, "This is natural." ”
Dan exhaled a long breath, but there was some schadenfreude in his heart, he was targeted by the dead country, and his younger brother who was not worrying about it must not have a good time in the future.
"It's not a hospitable place to let your guests stand here, why don't you move to the Norton Pavilion and take a seat?" Dan is kindly invited.
The pawn nodded, he had exactly that.
"I heard that the little guy is about to enter the growth period?"
Dan sighed, "Yes, I'm having a headache preparing for tonight's feast of bliss, half a day to prepare a feast of bliss with enough for the family and the incarnation of the gods, my brother will really find something for me." ”
"The old man came at the right time. The hundred-man guards accompanying the country this time can be called by the food delivery people at will. ”
Dan was overjoyed, this trip was too hasty, in order to reduce unnecessary time loss, he just came alone, and he was ready to pay some price to let the people over there at the Crazy Theater help. But since the pawn opened his mouth, he didn't need that group of servants who were easy to use, but easy to do bad things when they went crazy.
"Thank you, then, Grace Pawn."
In the study room of the Norton Pavilion, many useless things have long been thrown out of the house, leaving only a huge desk, and on the soft high-backed chair, Dan Yan gently rubbed his brows, and the ancient soldier wearing armor with a cold and dead face stood in front of him, reporting the situation to him at this time.
"My lord, the chef of the food plane is hurrying to this place, but due to the lack of time, they can't bring enough ingredients."
"It's okay, just bring enough important ingredients. The rest is purchased from the Blood Moon plane. ”
"Whoa!"
The soldier bowed, then trotted out the door with a vigorous and resolute manner, using the communication secret instrument to begin to pass down Danxi's instructions step by step.
"Butler, how is the Red Tassel Pavilion over there?"
The old butler frowned, "There are a few stubborn nobles who are unwilling to give up the venue and are making trouble with the Red Tassel Pavilion. It seems that there is a wedding tonight at the Red Tassel Pavilion. ”
"......" Dan frowned, then scolded in a low voice, "Fuck, what kind of Ricardo plot is this?" He tore off a piece of sticky note, and the sound of chewing sounded briefly, and a hideous pattern of interlaced teeth appeared on the paper. It is the mouth of devouring, the mark of the feaster, which cannot be carved except by dependents and gods.
"Let people take this, give it to that...... Well...... Director of the Inquisition Bureau. He knows what to do. ”
The old butler nodded, and handed the paper with the mark of the mouth of glutton to a servant who was on call at the side, and the servant let out an obsessive laugh, and then dissipated into the study like a gust of wind.
Seeing Dan's distrustful expression, the old butler repeatedly assured that although the servant was a little crazy, he was probably still very reliable......
"Then the matter of the venue is settled, what about the guests?"
"The invitations have been delivered to them." The old butler nodded, "I also sent one from the palace." ”
Dan Yan was silent, and in just a few hours, he quickly mobilized all the forces he could control with a vigorous speed, and even the group of kittens in the Black Cat Newspaper Office that the Voyeur had just established were requisitioned by him, and let the group of cuties run to deliver the letter.
Anyway, with the power of the voyeur, those little cats will definitely be able to deliver invitations to those guests, and the salary requirements are not high, a few boxes of dried fish can be done! What a nice staff!
"The chef gets it, the ingredients get it, the guests get it. Security and guides don't matter. At the moment we are short of venues. As soon as he thought of this, Dan Yan couldn't help but scold, "Where did those nobles get the courage?" Dare to block the demands of dependents? The simplest thing has not been done until now. ”
The old butler's face was also a little ugly, and he didn't expect this kind of thing.
"The frogs at the bottom of the well are just short-sighted, maybe Orin's bubble defense protects them too well."
Dan Yan rubbed his head with a headache, "I just hope that those idiots don't make a difference at tonight's feast of bliss." ”
"I hope so, is His Majesty the Celebrant confirmed that he will attend this feast of bliss?"
At the mention of this matter, Dan Yan's handsome face showed a hint of obvious anger and corruption, as well as some kind of undisguised jealousy, "That dead fat man can't wait to come, I just started to prepare gifts as soon as I finished speaking." I've never seen him so interested in me! ”
