Chapter 1277: The Ball
Chu He sensed that there was something unusual, and the prerequisite was the geographical location of Velvet City and the embarrassing situation of the Count of Amethyst himself.
Although the Earl of Amethyst, who is in charge here, has the title of Earl.
But this title was actually handed down from the time of the Aoneng Empire.
In the early days of the Rhodes Empire, in order to stabilize the situation, some of the titles of the old nobles were recognized.
But for many years, they have been trying to reduce the actual power and prestige of the old aristocracy. And strip off the interests of the old aristocracy and distribute them to the new one... More loyal to the interests of the Rhodes Empire.
This is also the reason why a dignified imperial earl has been erected as a puppet, but no one has ever cared about it, and the royal family has never interfered.
Velvet City is located far away from the central area of the empire, but still a long way from the border area.
To put it simply, it is neither prosperous, nor can it secretly accumulate power and develop and grow because the emperor is far away.
Firmly under the control of the Empire, and because only Velvet is more famous, the entire city has little potential. The only thing that can be regarded as dazzling is the ancient amethyst castle. This is also a product left over from the original era of the Oroneng Empire.
And Chu He, who has read through some 'miscellaneous books', can very well understand what a fifth-order mystic person symbolizes after the magic energy falls into inertia.
That was the power to guard and protect the royal court.
At this time, such a big man suddenly came to such a small place as Velvet Castle, which does not deserve much attention, may have some symbolic meaning in itself.
"Don't panic, maybe it's just an inspection after receiving some kind of rumors, and it's not directly aimed at me. But... Be careful, be careful. Chu He thought to himself.
Two days passed quietly.
The prom is about to begin.
As the large iron bell at the highest point of Amethyst Castle was struck twelve times, the gate of the castle creaked and was pushed open by more than a dozen guards in unison.
The velvet blanket dyed red spread from the central hall of the castle to the long carriageway outside the castle.
Some carriages, which had been waiting on the boulevard, drove down the red carpet.
Richly dressed girls and well-dressed gentlemen sat in carriages, and even the drivers dressed up somewhat decently.
When the carriages were parked at the gate of the castle, the nobles, gentlemen, and ladies who received the news stood at the gate and watched.
A strange voice could be heard in the distance.
A strange thing, all pitch black, unpulled by horses, spitting out white steam, was speeding towards the castle.
Everybody's talking.
And the Chu River, who was standing on the balcony in the distance, shook slightly, suppressing the horror in the corners of his eyes.
"This is a steam-powered car? What the hell is technology? Wait! Look at the strange expressions of the nobles around me, this kind of thing is not common, it should be new. It is because of the inertia of magic energy that suppresses the extraordinary power that leads to the rapid development of science and technology. Or... There are already people from this universe who have infiltrated our universe and started to quietly transport the civilization of our universe back?" Chu He hoped that it was the former, if it was the latter, it would be terrible, he was already a big step behind. And the other party has more advantages than him, and he can even bypass the blockade from many bigwigs and transmit civilized messages more conveniently.
The reason why Chu He didn't feel that it was because someone had already obtained the civilization of the Immortal Dao Universe and returned to this universe was because of how it was. This mysterious universe has won the game, and this competition can come to an end.
On the steam car, a middle-aged man in a black dress stepped down.
He had short flaxen-colored hair, which was combed back against the roots of his ears without the slightest mess, and he still had a not-so-thick mustache on his face, and his figure looked a little thin.
At first glance, it doesn't seem to be anything special.
But if you look at the Lord Amethyst Earl, who has been surrounded like a family dog and saddled before and behind the horse, then the identity of this person is easy to deduce.
This person was the backer that Count Amethyst relied on, a fifth-order mystic from the imperial capital.
Chu He withdrew his overly sharp gaze, and his expression became yearning and shallow.
With the arrival of the most important protagonist, everyone welcomed this person into the hall like a moon.
Gradually, the melodious sound of music overflowed from the hall, flowed into the corridor, and then spread from the corridor, Chu He knew that the dance had begun.
And he is also quietly waiting for his time to 'perform on stage'.
In the hall, the Countess had already pulled the fifth-order mystic into three dances.
The countess's expression was so intoxicated that she couldn't wait to rub herself into the man's chest and become one with him.
Deliberately from the chest, there are some split skirts, which outline half of her perfect breasts. The waist that is suppressed by the corset looks more slender, as if it can really be held in one palm.
Even this ball has gathered almost all the most beautiful girls in Velvet City.
But the Countess was still the most beautiful of them all.
The man's dancing posture is very graceful, there is nothing excessive, his hands, feet and eyes are very regular, and his every move is full of aristocratic reserve and elegance.
Yet everyone knows.
Tonight, between him and the Countess, there will definitely be some wonderful stories going on.
And the Earl seems to be happy to see it happen.
After all, this in itself is the effect he wants.
Before the flame of desire is about to be ignited, pierce the ugly, vulgar, and dirty face of that woman, and then the angry man will definitely anger the dog man and woman.
Sure enough, before the music of the fourth dance sounded.
There was a brave girl who took the initiative to invite the man to dance.
but was politely refused.
The maiden, whose self-esteem seemed to have been humiliated, angrily pointed out that the Countess was an unfaithful and unclean woman, and was not qualified to continue dancing with men.
Deliberately prompted, the conversation soon shifted to bringing the adulterous guard for a face-to-face confrontation.
When Chu He's footsteps stepped into the gorgeous hall, many eyes shifted towards him, revealing different expressions, hiding complex emotions.
Most of the men are jealous with malice and ridicule.
The women, on the other hand, were jealous of the countess, and after seeing the mediocre appearance of Chu He, they gained a sense of aesthetic superiority over the countess.
The Count was speaking loudly, "Lord Gehry, I propose to use the Truth Elixir against this vile dog who has betrayed his master. It is only with the testimony of the true Lord that it is possible to judge whether he is lying, whether he is hiding the truth. ”
On the side, the Countess was looking pitifully at Lord Gary in the Earl's mouth, with a pitiful expression.
Chu He put on a blank attitude, exaggerated on the surface, and shouted timidly: "Then come on! I will assure you that every word that is said, every word is true. ”
The Earl clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great, but before I used the elixir, I also invited Master Lewis from Gilded Town." He is a well-known Sealer, and any Mystic, as long as they do not exceed the second order, will not be able to use the Mystic Ability in front of him. So let's give Isaac a potion of truth under the testimony of Master Lewis. ”
As soon as these words fell, the countess's eyes flashed with panic.
In the corner, there were already several glances, locking on Chu He with murderous intent.
If they really want to overturn, it is obvious that even if they lead the situation to a more troublesome situation, these guys will kill Chu He first in order to extinguish the mouth.
