Volume 2 Redemption and Action Chapter 14 Unhappy Breaking
Joey was a little trembling, he didn't understand what the situation was now, today because the people in front of him were frightened, but now Theodore actually asked him to go to the house for dinner with a "pleasant face"?
Joey opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound for a long time, Theodore's smile slowly became stiff, Luo Mu stood aside, but Theodore didn't even look at him, Luo Mu lightly touched Joey with his arm, Joey seemed to come back to his senses, shook suddenly, and then said with some stumbling, "Respected West... Master Theo, I'm honored to receive your invitation, but I still have a course to complete tonight, just... Don't bother."
Theodore patiently listened to Joey, the smile slowly disappeared, the expression on his face became gloomy, he raised his head and asked, "Are you sure you want to decline my invitation?" The atmosphere between the three of them suddenly cooled, Theodore stared at Joey tightly, Joey was already soaked in cold sweat, but he didn't know what to do now.
Luo Mu waited for a moment, sighed softly, he turned around and said a few words to the coachman of Joey's carriage, so that he and Joey's parents could explain clearly, and then took a half step forward, stood in front of Joey, looked at Theodore and said, "I'm sorry Master Theo, Master Joey was a little nervous when he saw you for the first time, since Master Young Master you kindly invited, then we should obey our fate"
Theodore noticed Luo Mu's existence at this time, he looked Luo Mu up and down, Luo Mu's dress was almost no different from the carriage driver, and Luo Mu's title also proved his worthless identity, but Luo Mu's composure made Theodore a little impressed, Theodore nodded, the small window on the carriage slammed shut, and then the door of the carriage opened quietly.
Luo Mu raised his feet and walked forward, but Qiao Yi suddenly grabbed Luo Mu's sleeve, Luo Mu turned his head, Qiao Yi's eyes were full of unease, Luo Mu shook his head, didn't say anything, gently got out of the way, and motioned for Qiao Yi to go up first, Qiao Yi gritted his teeth fiercely, and a somewhat funny encouraging expression appeared on his little fat face, and he stepped directly on the golden carriage, and Luo Mu followed and walked up.
Theodore actually didn't believe that Cyris could fall in love with Joey such a fat man, but with Theodore's temperament, all possible factors must be nipped in the bud, he leaned on the inside of the carriage, with one hand to the side of his face, suddenly as if he thought of something, he gently knocked on the wall of the carriage, a small window opened, the coachman's side face appeared at the window, Theodore said, "Get me the information about the person next to Joey, before you get home"
The coachman nodded slightly, then closed the small window again, and began to contact the information network that belonged to the unique Ogst family in a special way, and Theodore raised his eyebrows a little proudly after doing all this, as if he had grasped something, and looked at Cyris on the other side of the carriage, the carriage was huge, but Cyris sat diagonally opposite Theodore, the farthest place from Theodore, and clinged to the side of the carriage.
Cyris heard Theodore's instructions to the coachman, but he didn't say anything, still lowered his head, and soon, Joey and Luo Mu walked up, Joey didn't dare to look more, and said hello to Theodore again, Theodore nodded, and returned to that lofty appearance, and said, "Sit down"
Joey answered, and sat opposite Theodore, Luo Mu also sat down next to Joey, Joey was nervous all over, and he didn't even dare to fill the chair, but the decoration in the carriage still couldn't help but make Joey can't help but look quietly, the carriage is also golden, countless fine gems fill the roof, and in the center of the carriage, a crystal ball quietly exudes light, reflecting the inside of the carriage, the crystal ball seems to have a mist that keeps drifting and condensing, it is the soul power fluctuations from the fog that make Luo Mu secretly frightened。
This crystal ball must not only have the effect of lighting and heating, Luo Mu secretly thought, Theodore stopped talking after casually telling Joey some interesting stories about school, and leaned quietly to the side, the car was covered with a red gold velvet blanket, and he couldn't even feel the bumps of the carriage when he sat on it, Luo Mu got into the car and glanced at Sireth lightly, and then didn't say much, quietly lowered his head and sat aside.
And Theodore keenly caught that after Luo Mu lowered his head, Cyris actually raised his head and glanced at Luo Mu, and Theodore showed a meaningful smile on his face, he thought that he had grasped the key to the matter.
The carriage traveled very fast, and the western part of Cyrenaica was really some distance from Cicero High School, but it only took half an hour to arrive at the residence of the Count of Ogst, and at this moment the main door of the mansion was wide open, as if to welcome distinguished guests, and dozens of guards belonging to the mansion stood on both sides, welcoming this golden carriage into the door.
As soon as Joey got out of the carriage, he was stunned by the huge courtyard and gorgeous decorations, in his more than ten years of life, he had never been to the western part of Cyrenaica, the huge gap between the classes, he couldn't even imagine the dignity and beauty here, Theodore chuckled when he saw this and said, "I'll go change my clothes first"
After that, Theodore walked straight into the tall house in front of him, and the housekeeper standing on the side led Luo Mu and the two to the restaurant on the side, Sireth got off the carriage faster than Theodore, she walked straight upstairs without saying a word, Theodore followed behind Sireth quickly, and when he reached the floor where the two lived, Theodore chuckled and said, "Let's have a meal together?"
Cyris didn't slow down for half a minute, and walked straight towards his room, Theodore looked at Cyreth's swaying back and snorted secretly, but Cyreth's attitude towards him was already clear to him, he walked to his room, and at this moment there was already a servant at the door of the room holding a piece of tissue paper waiting for him quietly.
Theodore took the paper and walked into the room to look through it, at this moment I have to mention that the Ogst family has a deep heritage, there is not much information on the paper, but a few lines include almost all of Luo Mu's whereabouts when he came to Cyrenaica, Theodore put down the paper and whispered to himself, "Refugees? classmates? It seems that he is still a little hunter?"
Theodore's eyes flashed, "It's really like a disgusting plot of a young lady falling in love with a poor boy, it's a pity" Theodore didn't say anything more, changed into civilian clothes and walked downstairs, at this moment Luo Mu and Joey were already sitting in the palatial spacious restaurant, several servants standing on the side saw Theodore walking downstairs, so they took the initiative to open the main stool for him, at this moment the long dining table that was enough to accommodate dozens of people was already full of all kinds of exquisite food, but Theodore just sat down and his pupils shrank slightly, and Cyris actually changed into civilian clothes and sat at the table.
The corners of Theodore's mouth twitched slightly, he was more sure of his thoughts, but his expression was still eager, he smiled and said, "Don't be restrained if you two can come as guests, I also like to make new friends, just be casual, otherwise my sister will say that I am domineering again"
Theodore laughed after speaking, raised the wine glass in front of him, and signaled it from afar, Luo Mu and Joey also raised the wine glass and took a sip, Joey also slowly relaxed, Theodore was not as difficult to contact as he imagined, he was also a little excited at the moment, although I don't know why, but if he can become friends with Theodore, it will be a great thing for him.
Joey chatted with Theodore slowly and easily, and Theodore had obviously done his homework in advance and knew Joey's background and family situation well, but when it came to it, Joey's family really didn't have anything worth mentioning.
Luo Mu and Cyris both sat quietly on the side of the table and ate the food in front of them quietly, Cyris behaved dignifiedly, and Luo Mu's generosity also fell in Theodore's eyes, he and Joey chatted about some trivial matters at school without a match, Joey was obviously deliberately catering to Theodore, but Theodore paid more attention to Luo Mu, Luo Mu knew all kinds of exquisite food for ordinary people well, Theodore was a little hesitant, because according to the information passed on Luo Mu was just the most ordinary refugee。
But Theodore didn't think much about it, even if Luo Mu was mysterious, Theodore didn't think that his background would pose any threat to him, Theodore took a sip of wine, and said with a smile easily, "The two of you are also frequent residents of Cyrenaica, I don't know if you know anything about Titan?"
The Colosseum of Titans is a topic that often appears in the chats between nobles, and Theodore brings it up very naturally, Joey's father is a construction officer of Cyrenaica, and naturally knows more about the Colosseum than others, Joey smiled and said, "My father occasionally tells me some things about the Colosseum, but most of them are very cruel, and Theo must know more than I do."
Theodore laughed and said, "Speaking of which, next month is the annual 100-man battle in the Titan Gladiatorial Arena, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time" Theodore paused, the smile was still on his face, but he suddenly turned to Luo Mu and asked, "What about you, Luo Mu, I heard that you are a steel-level hunter of the Disedris Guild, have you ever been interested in learning about it?"
Joey was shocked, when did Luo Mu become a hunter?
Joey turned his head to look at Luo Mu in surprise, Luo Mu just picked up a piece of fine foie gras stained with tapenade, heard Theodore's words, he paused with his hand, still put the foie gras back on the plate, and then wiped his mouth carefully with a white napkin, and then looked at Theodore and replied flatly, "Master Hui, my usual life is relatively compact, but I haven't heard of it"
Luo Mu's answer was not unexpected by Theodore, because although the Hundred Battles Contest was highly sought after by nobles, and even many ordinary people would spend a lot of money to watch it, it was still too far away for students, Theodore also wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said, As the name suggests, in the Titan's gladiatorial arena, there are only fifty warriors and fifty of the most vicious beasts, and in the end, only one person or beast can get out of the cage, of course, if a warrior comes out, he will get a very rich reward."
Luo Mu's eyes moved, and he asked with some interest, "What kind of rich rewards will you get?" Theodore smiled "Is the reward, last year it was a full thousand gold coins, or equivalent treasures, these are enough for some ordinary people to live for a long time" After saying this, Theodore's eyes suddenly stared at Luo Mu fiercely, "Corvo's real warriors, if you want to get the favor of some beauties from a big family, these warriors will not hesitate to try, money is not important, it is important to be the glory after victory, Luo Mu, do you say yes?"
Even with Joey's sluggishness, he could hear that Theodore's words contained more than a simple meaning, but he really couldn't understand what happened between Luo Mu and Theodore, was it because of himself?
Before Joey could speak, Luo Mu nodded and said, "It seems that Master Theodor knows a lot about this competition" Theodore's expression was no longer hidden, he raised his head slightly, leaned back in the chair and said, "If you are interested in participating, I have some friends."
Joey couldn't sit still, he grabbed Luo Mu's arm and said, "Brother Mu, no! I heard my father say...", but Luo Mu gently took Joey's hand, nodded to Theodore and said, "Then thank you Theo first, how many masters" Joey just wanted to say something more, but heard a loud bang across the table, Sireth slammed a cup, and walked upstairs without looking back.
Seeing this, Joey turned his head to look at Theodore, Theodore's face was also gloomy and terrible, Theodore threw out a piece of paper to Luo Mu, Luo Mu took it, only one address was written on the piece of paper, Theodore said, "Contact here in three days" After saying this, Theodore also snorted and stood up and walked upstairs, Joey stayed in place, he didn't know why Ben's relaxed dinner party suddenly became like this.
The two were quickly sent outside the mansion, and Joey still didn't understand what was going on, he looked at Luo Mu a little stunned and asked, "Brother Mu, when did you join the Hunter Guild... How come I don't know" Luo Mu shook his head, with Theodoro's angry appearance, naturally he didn't arrange a carriage to send the two, and the two walked outside along the street in Xicheng District, just as the two were about to walk out of the corner of Xicheng District, suddenly a person ran out and stopped directly in front of the two.
When Joey saw someone, he was stunned again, it was Cyreth.
Cyris grabbed Luo Mu's arm and dragged Luo Mu aside, she knew very well what Theodore meant by saying those words, and she also knew very well what her brother could do, she dragged Luo Mu to the corner of the street, and shouted in a low voice, "I don't know what you're thinking, but it's impossible for us, don't promise him!
Luo Mu looked at Ciris 's serious eyes, looked at it quietly for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, Ciris was furious, she really hated Luo Mu's indifferent appearance, she really had too many suitors, she naturally thought that Luo Mu didn't know that because of her appearance or family, she was moved by Theodore's words, and wanted to fight once.
Luo Mu smiled lightly, looked at Ciris and said, "It's not because of you"
Sirius was stunned, but Luo Mu broke away from Sirisi's hand, thought about it and said softly, "I'll look for you at night."
Then he turned to Joey and didn't look back.
