Chen Daolin walked out of the reception room, and there were servants waiting outside the door, with an extremely respectful attitude, leading Chen Daolin to leave.
When he just walked out of the corridor, Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, he instinctively looked up to the right, and immediately saw a beam of eyes.
As soon as this look of the eye made contact, Chen Daolin immediately felt as if he was shocked in his heart!
What a look that is!
Cold, indifferent, faintly as if there was a faint hint of danger......!
This person's eyes are like a blade out of the sheath, just shooting on a person's body like this, as if it can make people feel the coldness and edge of the blade!
There is no doubt that being stared at like this is an extremely uncomfortable thing. This kind of hair-stirring look in people's hearts, Chen Daolin has only felt it from one person so far. That's the royal descendant of the wolf clan of the orcs, Ray!
But obviously, the sharpness of this person's eyes and the cold Cheng dΓΉ are more piercing, more uncomfortable, and sharper than Lei!
Just by this look, Chen Daolin seemed to feel that his bare skin under the other party's eyes erupted into a layer of fine goosebumps, as if his hairs stood up!
This feeling is like a cold winter wax moon, when a cold wind suddenly blows into his clothes!
Although this was only a momentary feeling, Chen Daolin was suddenly shocked, and then instinctively, the spiritual power of his whole body was instantly stimulated to the peak state.
His eyes widened, staring at the owner of this bundle of eyes!
Imprinted in his eyes was a slender man.
A large black robe shrouded over the body, and the leather armor lining the robe could be seen underneath.
This person's figure is at least a head taller than Chen Daolin, with broad shoulders and a belt tied around his waist, outlining the silhouette of a toned body with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
His appearance should be very handsome, but it is angular, not half creamy at all, but faintly exudes a bad aura!
Yes, it's evil!
There the man was standing, unarmed, but as if a sword had been unsheathed before your eyes!
The most striking thing is undoubtedly his long golden hair, which shines as brightly as the sun.
But this kind of gold happened on this person's head, but it did not bring him a trace of sunshine, and the cold aura on his face that was even more reflected made people dare not look at it directly.
This person has a pair of slightly slender eyebrows, but the flow of his eyes makes people shudder.
His eyes seemed to just sweep over Chen Daolin's body very casually, and when he swept over, he stayed for a moment, and then moved away gently, his eyes were indifferent.
Chen Daolin noticed that behind this person was a steward of the Liszt family, who bowed his head and was extremely respectful, standing beside this person, he didn't even dare to take a breath.
Chen Daolin immediately walked over quickly, but heard a faint human voice behind him.
"Lord Goth, please ...... here."
Gothic?
Chen Daolin's heart moved, this is the person Miss Lordel wants to meet.
This person's breath and temperament made Chen Daolin very uncomfortable.
......
When he returned to his quarters, Carman and Rodriguez IV were there.
Seeing that Chen Daolin came back accompanied by the attendants of the Liszt family, these two guys hurriedly greeted him.
The fat man Carman was still a little bit of a city mansion, and he could still calm down, but that Rodriguez IV was already full of anxiety, and he said loudly in front of him: "Darling, you were invited to meet by Miss Rodelle?"
Chen Daolin looked at these two guys with anxious faces and strange eyes, couldn't help but smile, and nodded, "Yes." β
"She, why did she summon you suddenly?" Rodriguez IV hurriedly asked, "She doesn't recognize you, and we heard ......"
Carman suddenly kicked him lightly, then glared at Rodriguez IV and interrupted him, but the fat man smiled and said, "Darling, didn't you say that you don't know the Liszt family at all? Why did Lordelle call you to meet alone? She refused any guest's request to see her all day, even the two of us ......"
Chen Daolin smiled, looked at the fat man, coughed, and said: "Both, what I said before is also true, I really don't know the people of the Liszt family, and this time I came to send something by an elder." Well...... As for why Miss Rodelle is seeing me, I'm sorry, it's my private matter, it's a matter of **, but I can't tell you two. β
After a pause, he looked at the ugly faces of these two guys, and then smiled slowly: "But I haven't been able to really meet Miss Rodelle either." When I went, in the drawing-room, Miss Rodelle put down the curtain and talked to me through the curtain, and only a few words, and before I could get to the point, I was interrupted. β
He deliberately looked at the faces of these two people, and said slowly: "It seems to be a guy called 'Goth'......"
"Goth!!" Rodriguez IV's face changed abruptly, and he exclaimed.
Kaman's face was also iron-blue, and he gritted his teeth hard and snorted heavily.
"Do you know this person?" asked Chen Daolin.
"......" Kaman glanced at Rodriguez IV and said lightly: "This guy ...... Hmph, don't talk about him. A nasty bastard. β
Chen Daolin looked at the expressions of these two people, the expressions of jealousy, and the things he heard the two of them say along the way before, he had already guessed a few points in his heart, and he didn't say anything, so he nodded to the two of them and went back to his room to rest.
Carman and Rodriguez IV wanted to ask something, but they couldn't open their mouths. Seeing Chen Daolin go back to the room, Kaman suddenly said: "No, that goth guy is here, I can't sit here! I can't watch that bastard approach Lodel! Luo puppy, do you dare to go with me to have a look!"
Rodriguez IV snorted: "What is there not to dare!"
The two rushed out in a hurry.
Chen Daolin returned to his suite, Barossa was talking to Xia Xia about something, and the elf girl saw Chen Daolin coming back, with a sweet smile on her face: "You're back so soon?"
"Alas. Chen Daolin sighed: "Before the matter was finished, it was interrupted." Looks like we'll have to wait for the night. He looked at Barossa and frowned, "But it's ...... at night."
"Well, I won't go with you for the banquet in the evening. Barossa sighed, a little disappointed on her face.
Wearing a dress to a banquet was a bit difficult for Barossa.
The ladies' evening dresses were too thin, and if the elf girls wore that kind of clothes, the wings behind them would naturally be exposed. It is always a bit dangerous to expose the identity of elves in the human world, although this is the Liszt family, but I am also afraid that it will be targeted by bad people.
"We're still too weak now, and when we're stronger in the future, we don't have to hide our heads and tails anymore. Chen Daolin comforted: "As soon as the matter is over, let's leave here." β
"It's best to leave early. Barossa frowned and said, "I always have some worries in my heart, this place, I feel very depressed, it makes me feel very uncomfortable." β
"If you go by, maybe you can leave tomorrow. Chen Daolin smiled.
He talked to Barossa for a while, remembering that there was nothing to do during the day, so it was better to go to the garden again to play the autumn breeze and see if there was anything cheap to pick up, and his own harvest last night was really a lot.
The Liszt family has a lot of money, and that kind of magic plants are planted in the garden without taking care of it, this kind of opportunity, I am afraid that there will be no such shop in this village after this. If you don't seize the opportunity, after leaving here, there will be no such good thing as taking advantage of it for nothing.
Thinking of this, he left the two girls in the room, and Chen Daolin quietly ran to the garden alone.
During the day, the garden is not as secluded as at night, Chen Daolin wandered for a while, and could always see servants coming and going, although these servants did not stop Chen Daolin from wandering, and his demeanor was also very respectful, but Chen Daolin was always not good at picking plants in front of others.
After shopping for a long time, I gained very little.
I couldn't help but go further and further, and naturally, I walked to the place where I met the little maid last night.
Skirting a wall of bushes, I walked through the small gap and came to the river.
Chen Daolin rested here for a while, as if he had some kind of premonition, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
Sure enough, seeing that the time was already noon, Chen Daolin was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the bushes behind him, and a familiar thin figure came in from the gap, Chen Daolin looked over and couldn't help but smile on his face.
The little girl from last night crawled in with difficulty, carrying a small basket in one hand and struggling to open the bushes with the other.
Chen Daolin walked over with a smile, helped her clear the bushes, grabbed her wrist, pulled her in, and said with a smile: "Do you always like to sneak around so much?
The little girl was held by Chen Daolin's wrist, and a trace of blush seemed to flash on her little face, and then she broke free of Chen Daolin's hand, snorted, and said in a sharp and crisp voice: "I'm not a guest like you, if my little maid runs around, I will be scolded if I am seen by the steward." β
Chen Daolin smiled and looked at the basket in her hand...... It was clearly a food basket, and the lid had been crooked, revealing the food inside. glanced at this little girl: "You stole something to eat again?"
"Do you want to take care of it?" the girl glanced at Chen Daolin, walked to the river, put down the basket, took out a small flower cloth and spread it on the ground, and laid out the food inside.
She was busy for a while, then turned around and glared at Chen Daolin: "Are you just looking at it and not helping?"
Chen Daolin laughed and walked over.
There is actually a small barbecue grill in this basket, Chen Daolin smiled: "Do you like to eat barbecue so much?"
"You have to take care of it!" the girl snorted and set the barbecue grill away.
This garden is full of bushes, so there is no shortage of materials for burning the fire, so he picked up some branches and came back, and Chen Daolin made a fire with a fireball technique.
Among the food brought by the girl, there were actually several pairs of wings of some kind of bird, which made Chen Daolin very surprised.
"Haha, roast wings, I'm the best at it. β
He took the initiative to take on the work of fiddling with the barbecue, and the girl did not fight, just sat on the side, quietly watching Chen Daolin busy with his work.
"Hey, thank you for the morning. Chen Daolin said casually while piercing the chicken wings with a barbecue fork: "You invited your young lady to meet me, right?"
"Thank you for not having to. The girl pouted: "Anyway, you haven't been able to finish your business." β
"Thank you anyway. Chen Daolin rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You don't know that I am here, so you specially brought food to me, right?"
"Hmph, this is my territory. The girl glared at him: "It's you, why did you come here again in broad daylight?"
As she spoke, she took a closer look at Chen Daolin, and finally saw the grass juice stained on Chen Daolin's hands and sleeves, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and shouted, "Ah! I know......! You guy, you went to the garden to pick herbs secretly, didn't you?!"
"......" Chen Daolin didn't expect to be seen through by this girl, his old face turned red, but he said stubbornly: "What nonsense." β
"I'm not talking nonsense!" the girl laughed, stared at Chen Daolin's eyes, and said, "There are a lot of magical plants planted in the garden of our Liszt family! What are you...... You're a magician, it seems that you took advantage of no one to pay attention and came to the garden to secretly pick herbs! Hmph, don't try to lie to me, the grass juice on your sleeve has not been washed off!"
"......" Chen Daolin was silent for a while, looked at the girl, and said with a wry smile: "I said, you won't denounce me, right?" Anyway, you are just a little maid, and the flowers and plants in the garden are not your property, so what do you care so much." Well, I won't accuse you of stealing food, and you won't accuse me of picking herbs, so we'll settle the matter, okay?"
The girl had a strange expression, glanced at Chen Daolin, although she was smiling secretly in her stomach, she pretended to be thinking and hesitant on her face, and after thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Okay!"
The wings were quickly baked two pairs, and Chen Daolin took out a bottle of soy sauce and brushed it evenly on the wings with a brush, and the aroma was immediately fragrant.
The girl shrugged her nose again and again, her eyes widened and widened, and she looked at Chen Daolin with a curious look on her face: "You...... What are you doing here? It's not the kind of spice you had last night, is it?"
"Well, it's not. This thing is called soy sauce, and it is...... Well, it's just another secret ingredient of mine. Chen Daolin smiled vaguely and handed over a wing: "You taste it." β
The girl took a bite and immediately smiled: "It's delicious!"
She bit hard several times, and one wing was quickly eaten, before she suddenly sighed and said in a low voice: "It's a pity, such a delicious thing, if that guy encounters it, he will definitely not be able to walk." β
"What?" Chen Daolin glanced at him.
"I ...... A friend of mine. A hint of gloom flashed on the girl's face, and she sighed faintly: "Hey, I have a friend who always likes to make strange food, and he has always been very greedy, and he can always get a lot of delicious food that I have never tasted." Well, the seasoning for the barbecue you got last night, and this one today, this is called ...... If he encounters something with soy sauce, he will be overjoyed. β
Chen Daolin looked at this girl's eyes, and suddenly his heart moved: "Huh, you came here last night...... Didn't you just make an appointment to meet this friend you said?"
"He ......" The girl suddenly lowered her head, threw the wing bones in her hand to the ground, and stomped on her feet hard: "He's a bastard......! As a result, he ......"
"Did he fail to make an appointment?" Chen Daolin sighed: "Releasing pigeons is really not a good habit." β
"What does that mean?" the girl looked at Chen Daolin with wide eyes.
"Uh...... It's the meaning of no-show, the local dialect of my hometown. Chen Daolin casually vaguely brought it, for fear that the girl would continue to ask, so he hurriedly said: "The person you are talking about...... Hehe, I guess it's your little lover, right?"
"I ......" The girl's face was flushed, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, but she immediately said with a straight face: "No!
"Hahaha! Even if it is, why hide it. Chen Daolin smiled: "I won't tell you." Well, let's be honest, is that man from your Liszt family too? is it a guard? a guard, a guard, or a servant, a steward, a cook?"
"Not at all!" the girl shouted vigorously with her eyes wide, then quickly lowered her voice and frowned, "Don't ask so many questions! Anyway, ...... anyway"
"Huh?" Chen Daolin said curiously: "Could it be...... Ah, I see, he must have a different identity than you, right? You're a close attendant of the young lady, is he...... Is he a very high-ranking person?"
"......" The girl was stunned, looked at Chen Daolin, and her eyes became more and more complicated: "You ......"
She suddenly sighed faintly: "You are talking nonsense, you guess accurately." Yes, he, he does have a special identity. β
"Could it be...... What kind of aristocratic young master, or what kind of rich son?" Chen Daolin frowned and said, "You cute little maid, don't be deceived by those guys. β
"Hmph, the person who wants to deceive me hasn't been born yet. The girl rolled her eyes.
Then she pulled up a piece of grass vigorously, put it in her mouth and bit it, and then spit it it out violently, her tone was a little irritable: "Anyway...... He, he had promised to come to see me last night, but ...... He didn't come this time, and I've been waiting for him to see me this time, and I've been waiting for him to see me for almost half a year! I can't usually go out, so I'm looking forward to him coming to see me. I knew that he was greedy and liked to eat, so I prepared a lot of delicious food, and I also specially asked the chef invited by the family to ask a lot of things, I thought I wanted to surprise him, but ......"
Speaking of this, the girl suddenly lowered her head, her eyes were red, and a few tears flowed out: "He is a liar!
Chen Daolin watched the girl cry, and was a little at a loss for a while. After looking at it for a while, he cautiously handed over a handkerchief and said with a wry smile: "That...... I'm not very good at coaxing girls, you, don't cry, okay?"
The girl took the handkerchief and looked at it, but threw it back to Chen Daolin, choked up, and said, "Who wants to use your handkerchief! β
She raised the back of her hand and wiped her tears vigorously, glaring at Chen Daolin: "You are not allowed to say anything about my tears, otherwise, otherwise I will kill you!"
"Okay. Chen Daolin grinned, and didn't go to his heart, looking at the girl's resentful eyes, he couldn't help but be curious: "Who is that 'friend' you are talking about......?" And him?"
"He'......" the girl's eyes were misty, and she sighed softly, "He's a great person." He knows everything, he knows a lot of fun and interesting things, and he will make me lots and lots of delicious food. Moreover, I don't have to follow those rules only in front of him, hey, he himself is a person who doesn't like to follow the rules. I ......"
"You and him...... Can't we be together?" Chen Daolin grabbed his hair: "You are the person next to Miss Rodelle, you Miss must be very fond of you, right? You beg her, maybe it can fulfill your ......"
"It's useless!" the girl's face sank, her expression was complicated, and she was silent for a few seconds before she shook her head, "Impossible......! He has a different status, and he will never marry me! Even if he is unruly, he will never be with me! He, and his elders, will never agree...... Anyway, it's complicated! You don't understand!"
(It seems that he is really a young master of some aristocratic rich family...... Chen Daolin sighed in his heart.
He decided that the girl in front of him was a maid, and probably decided that this must be another clichΓ© love story of a maid falling in love with a rich man.
Chen Daolin thought about it, and didn't know how to persuade him, he thought for a moment, took out a small bottle, handed it to the girl, and said, "Well, this is soy sauce, I don't have much left in my hand, there is still half a bottle left, give it to you." The next time you meet that friend of yours, make it for him to eat, and you will definitely please him. Ay...... That's all I can help you, little girl. β
β...... Thank you. The girl took the soy sauce bottle with some surprise, looked at it, and said curiously: "This glass bottle is very exquisite." β
Chen Daolin smiled.
The glass bottle was not original, but a world-made bottle jar that he bought in Freeport, so he wasn't afraid of revealing any news.
In fact, he has been very careful, and the things he sells to this world, including those shampoos and the like, are all torn off the packaging and packed in white bottles, without any words or marks. "That...... Are you okay in the afternoon?" Chen Daolin looked at the sky.
"It's fine. The girl thought for a moment and said, "Miss is in a bad mood, and she doesn't see anyone in the room in the afternoon." β
"......" Chen Daolin remembered the girl's words last night, and said with a wry smile: "It's not strange...... Alas, if it were me, I would be very unhappy at this time. It's obviously his birthday, but in fact, he makes it seem like he is a commodity, which is put on the table to be sold at a price, and the guests below, all of them are sanctimonious, in fact, they are all thinking about how to snatch the goods...... Such a scene will be unhappy for anyone to change. β
β...... It's not all hard to listen to. The girl rolled her big sparkling eyes: "You have a conscience." β
"Your young lady ...... tonight It's time to choose your sweetheart, right?" Chen Daolin was a little curious: "Do you have to choose your sweetheart during the coming-of-age ceremony?"
"It's not that it has to be. The girl frowned, sighed, and said helplessly: "But this banquet arranged by the family has invited all the candidate families who can think of marriage." So no matter what, the object of future marriage is basically in this banquet. Even if it's tonight...... Tonight...... Well, Miss didn't choose her sweetheart tonight, but when she is over fifteen years old, the family will do her best to arrange a marriage for her. There are no men in the Liszt family, and marriage is the most important thing in the continuation of the family, and it is impossible for the young lady to escape. No matter how much you dodge, there will always be a day when you give in......"
As she spoke, the girl's tone became deeper and lower, and Chen Daolin smiled: "You seem to be very worried about your young lady? β
"That's good, isn't it? The girl said casually: "But tonight's things always have to be faced, tonight...... In any case, you have to choose one person. There are several people in the family to choose from, and among these people, there is always one to choose. β
"Then choose a pleasing one. Chen Daolin pursed his lips: "Anyway, sooner or later, you have to give in." β
"How can it be done!! the girl suddenly screamed: "How can a loveless marriage be happy!!"
"Huh?" Chen Daolin looked strange, glanced at the girl, and said with a smile: "You can actually say such a reasonable thing?"
"I ...... I!!" The girl puffed out her cheeks and glanced at Chen Daolin angrily, but then became depressed: "Hey, what's the use of me being angry with you, in short...... Tonight, tonight always, tonight's banquet, always have to give in. β
"You young lady, are you so unwilling?" Chen Daolin thought for a while: "Why is she unwilling? Could it be that she has a sweetheart?"
"What do you care so much about!" the girl gave him a blank look.
"I'm curious. Chen Daolin was not angry.
"It's strange that you, noble magician, have talked so long with such a little maid as me, and have deigned to sit down with me for dinner. The girl thought for a moment and looked at Chen Daolin curiously: "I heard that magicians have big shelves. β
"What about you, since you've heard that magicians are very noble, and that the shelves are very large, you still have a list to sit with me to eat and chat. You little maid is not a little daring! You are strange enough. Chen Daolin laughed.
"Dare...... What's the use of being bold. After tonight, no matter how bold you are, you will have to put it away. The girl looked at Chen Daolin and saw the confusion in the other party's eyes, and she quickly explained: "Hmm...... If the young lady gets married, I will be her close attendant, and I will follow her in the future, so I will not be free. β
"......" Chen Daolin thought silently for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This...... Actually, I have an idea, although I can't really solve your young lady's problem completely, but it's ...... to avoid tonight's banquet It's not impossible. (To be continued)
