Volume 1 The Winter of Halmar Chapter 45 Early Morning and Red Wine
After dinner, the three of them walked around the street for a while, during which Tonali also bought Elizabeth two of the latest dresses in the Empire, and the girl said no, but the smile on her face was extraordinarily bright.
"It's not too early, I should go back too. Tonali casually pulled out his expensive pocket watch made of pure black crystal, glanced at it, and spoke.
"Well, I'll talk about it tomorrow. Andu laughed.
Saying goodbye to Tonali, the two returned to the McDonald Street apartment half an hour later.
After a casual chat with Elizabeth and saying goodnight, Andu closed the bedroom door.
Arriving at his desk as usual, Andu took his notebook and pen, ready to sort out what had happened today.
"Huh?"
There were obvious traces of the notebook being flipped, and Andu hesitated for a second before reacting.
Tonali ...... Andu shook his head, grabbed the pen and began to record.
After spending an hour sorting out today's events, Andu put the glass bottle containing the ashes of the evil spirit on his body into a drawer, and found two books to cover it up.
After doing this, Andu turned off the lights and prepared to rest.
There is only one last main material left in the drawing of the Crazy Potion, and although the purple rock powder and the grumpy flower horned elk blood are traveling west, it is not difficult to get them with the relationship of Tonali.
You can also ask your friends about the card ring, if you have a good recommendation, it saves you the effort of making it again.
"I'll talk about it when I see Tonali tomorrow. β
Andu didn't talk to Tonali about cards and rings during dinner that night, and Elizabeth's presence made it difficult for him to talk a lot.
By the time Andu woke up, it was already Thursday morning.
Looking at Elizabeth, who was still sleeping, Andu washed up and went out.
Because the church work this week has been completed, there will be no need to go to church work for the next few days, and Andu will become idle.
After eating breakfast on the way, Andu thought about it and went directly to the North District.
Tonali lives in the North End.
Leaving Andu on Macdonald Street, he looked left and right, and after making sure that there were no acquaintances, he beckoned a rickshaw.
"Go to the North End, Tulip Avenue. β
The city street view was quickly skimmed, and Andu arrived at his destination in fifteen minutes.
After paying the fare, Andu tidied up his priest's robe and walked into the most expensive neighborhood in Halma.
Unlike the Southern District, the Northern District has always been the focus of the government's attention, as almost all of Halma's political leaders live in the Northern District.
The Tulip Villa area, which is known as the most expensive in Halma, can be seen from the security team, as many as a dozen security teams, dressed in neat civilian clothes, holding batons, wandering around all corners of the community, just at the entrance of the gate, there are five or six staff responsible for registration and investigation.
Andu just stepped forward and was immediately stopped by a doorman.
"Hello, are you looking for someone?" asked the doorman.
"Yes. Anduin said.
The doorman looked at the dress of the Andu church, hesitated for a while, and then just asked him to do a simple registration without asking too much.
Andu watched his identity play a role again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Walking on the road that is cleaned all year round, Andu can't even see a single weed.
Following the vague line in his memory, Andu successfully found out that he was lost after walking for a while.
Looking at the towering villas around him, Andu couldn't tell where he was......
After all, I've only been here once...... It was four or five years ago...... Andu suddenly regretted a little, and didn't ask the door post much just now.
"Andu!?"
A sudden sound of surprise crossed the street and reached Andu's ears.
"Huh?" Andu looked at his colleague with a surprised look on his face and said in surprise, "Robert!"
Robert looked at Andu incredulously, and subconsciously said, "How do you know I live here?"
Andu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and only after two seconds did he say embarrassedly: "I came here to find someone, and I accidentally got lost." β
Robert said with a look of disbelief: "Looking for someone, who are you looking for?"
"Tonali. Andu said, adding: "Ulysses Tonali." β
"Are you talking about the eldest son of Viscount Ulysses?" Robert became more and more incomprehensible, he really couldn't understand, how could this kid who gave people a sense of beggar when he first met know the eldest son of the viscount?
Anduxi said: "Do you know?"
Robert said sullenly, "Yes." β
"That's okay, you take me there, your community all looks the same, I'm afraid I'll get lost again in a while." After Andu finished speaking, he pulled Robert to lead the way.
"Hey, why should I show you the way!!" Robert reacted and immediately shouted.
"Colleague, I'll invite you to dinner when I turn around. Andu laughed.
"No need!" Robert said even more ugly when he thought of Andu's invitation to dinner, "You invite people to eat in the cafeteria?"
"Not really. Andu pulled Robert on the road and said casually: "It's just that the food in the canteen is really good, hygienic, and the distance is close, how troublesome is it to eat outside?"
Robert's face became more and more ugly as he listened to Andu's nonsense......
"That's it!" said Robert, annoyed as he shook off Andu's grip on his arm.
"Thank you, I'll invite you to dinner when I come back. Andu laughed.
"No!" Robert shook his arm and was about to leave.
Andu saw it and suddenly said, "You also live around here?"
"Can't you?" said Robert, viciously.
"No, we have time to eat together. Andu continued to laugh.
"No!!" Robert said no more, turned and left.
Andu stood there, looking at Robert's puffed out, and smiled even more happily.
With a happy mood, Andu knocked on the door of Tonali's house.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
After a while, an old man who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of Andu, looked at him and asked.
"I'm looking for Tonali. Andu smiled.
"May I ask who you are?" asked the butler.
"I'm his friend, you can call me Andu. Anduin said.
"Okay, wait a minute. With that, the butler closed the door.
It took about five minutes for the butler to reappear in front of Andu, in front of him was Tonali, who was dressed in a dressing gown.
"Why are you so early?" Tonali grumbled as he walked, "I haven't washed yet." β
"It's not early. Andu took out his pocket watch and gestured, "It's eight forty." β
"It's a holiday, and it's rare that you don't have to get up early to go to the academy, and you really are. Tonali smiled wryly.
The two chatted and walked, and after a while, they came to the living room on the first floor of the villa.
"You go and change your clothes first, it's not a rush anyway. Andu sat casually on the sofa at the suggestion of Tonali.
"Okay, you wait for me. Tonali got up from the couch and casually asked, "What do you drink?" from ChΓ’teau Wald? or deep-sea brandy? or your favorite champagne?"
After saying that, before Andu could react, Tonali said with satisfaction: "I've been particularly obsessed with the red wines of Valde Winery lately, you should really try more, old Jill, and bring him a bottle." β
"Yes. Old Jill nodded in reply, turned and went to the cellar to get wine.
Andu smiled dryly: "Drinking early in the morning, when did you have this hobby?"
Tonali, who was going upstairs, didn't reply: "You'll understand in a few years!"
I won't understand...... The world of rich people is really scary...... Andu thought to himself.
After a while, old Jill came back with a ten-year-old bottle of red wine.
"Do you need to wake up for a while?" said Old Jill earnestly.
β......β
Andu's wait for the sobering was a bit long, especially when he saw the inquiring gaze of old Jill.
After more than twenty minutes, Tonali finally yawned and came down in a lazy manner.
"What's the matter?" Tonali waved his hand casually, and old Jill immediately silently exited the living room.
Holding a goblet of red wine in his hand, Tonali took a sip with a satisfied expression.
"There are two main things. Andu thought for a moment and said.
Tonali leaned back on the couch and continued to sip his wine as he motioned for Andu to continue.
"First, I have passed the test of the church, so I would like to ask you if there is a suitable card ring to recommend, and I will pay the equivalent of silver dollars, if the price is right. β
"Second, I was going to try to draw cards, but I lacked materials, mainly purple rock powder and grumpy Flowerhorn Elk blood. β
Andu only said part of the things, and he did not say anything about the mad blood of the barbarians that was still missing, including the fact that he was carrying a huge amount of money.
"I can help you get the materials, and it's not difficult to get the ring. Tonali looked at him and smiled, "You've made a fortune?"
"It's okay, I picked up a windfall before, and I still have some left. Andu explained.
Tonali nodded, "Elizabeth told me yesterday. β
After saying that, Tonali changed his words and said, "But you didn't do this before, you will put all the money in Elizabeth's hands." β
Although it is not very specific, Tonali can clearly feel that the current Andufit seems to be a little different from before.
Andu looked at Tonali and smiled, "There are some things that she is too young for. β
Tonali waved his hand noncommittally, put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "The matter of materials can be done in two days, and the matter of the card ring will be answered to you tomorrow." β
"Thank you. Andu thanked.
"You're welcome. Tonali said unpleasantly.
Tonali straightened his clothes and sat up and said, "You have nothing to do today anyway, come with me to the East End." β
"What are you doing on the East End?" Andu wondered.
"Going to the Eastern District, of course, it's gambling money. The corners of Tonali's mouth curled.
βοΌοΌοΌβ
With a stomach full of questions, Andu got into Tonali's carriage to the East End.
