Volume 1 The Winter of Halmar Chapter 115 The True Aristocrat
The feast continued, and the guests gathered in twos and threes to chat about the recent anecdotes about Halma.
Devin played with the wine glass in his hand, and Andu was telling Roy's story in Halma.
"So he left at the beckoning of Maras?"
Devon shook his goblet thoughtfully, and the red wine in the glass rippled, reflecting a harsh glow in the sunlight.
Andu nodded lightly: "The teacher's original intention was to stay in Halma for a while. ”
Looking at the young Andu, Devin suddenly smiled.
"Roy had never taken in students before, and he was very zealous, even fanatical, about the creeds of the church. ”
Facing the other party's questioning gaze, Andu smiled imperceptibly.
"I'll wait until the next time I see him, and I'll help you ask why?"
Devin put down his glass in laughter, looked around and said,
"Look at these people, every single one of them wants to me because of who I am. ”
At this, he paused, as if recalling something.
"But your teacher is different from them, he is a real pastor, and he always sees only what he thinks is right. ”
Andu smiled approvingly: "He is a pure person. ”
Devin glanced at Andu, crossed his hands and changed into a comfortable position, and continued,
"You're right, he's pure, but now it's you sitting across from me. ”
Andu's smiling expression froze for a moment.
"My gut tells me that your business won't be as simple as I hear it from others. ”
Devin continued, his expression casual as if he were chatting about family life.
Did he know something?
Such a thought once again irrepressibly appeared in Andu's heart, and it was so clear and strong!
In an unknown corner, they really have the intelligence of this world.
Maybe their actions are very secretive, but in their eyes, a few things that often do not overlap at all are enough for them to be sure of the final result.
The ideas of these big people who have jumped out of the virtual world in this living world are so tricky and elusive.
He carefully recalled the past experiences, the exchanges with the top people in the virtual world, and was stunned to find that the difference was so significant!
Whether it is Earl Devon or Viscount Ulysses, they don't have the simple dialogue in the game, they don't have the straightforward mission plot, and every word they say is full of suspense!
Unlike the missions they have experienced, each of them has countless secrets and networks behind them.
This is the true aristocracy!
Sitting in this position, they rely on strategy, they rely on their brains.
It took two seconds to calm down the emotions in his heart, Andu kept a smile on his face, and looked at Devin in front of him indifferently.
As if he had returned to his past self, his state of mind gradually calmed down, not fighting, not grabbing, not arrogant or impatient.
Just like that year, facing the gaze of countless people, standing on the towering city wall, looking down on the army of hundreds of millions of undead.
"It's often that simple, Mr. Devon. ”
His calmness surprised Devon, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Roy's vision is naturally accurate. ”
Andu's heart was slightly soothed, and he half-jokingly,
"It must have been hard for Lord Earl to come so far to attend this banquet, right?"
Devin smiled and said, "It's not that difficult to have an airship. ”
Andudevin chatted casually, and suddenly remembered something that had long passed, and said meaningfully,
"Some time ago, the Palmer passed through Halma, stayed for a few days, and then continued to sail south, it is really a rare luxury yacht in the world!"
Devin thought for a while before he said, "Grand Duke Palmer, the situation in recent years is not as good as in the past. ”
Andu glanced at Devon in surprise, he didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.
Seeing through his thoughts, Devin continued,
"Your teacher and I are very good friends, so you don't have to be so wary of me. ”
Devin then added, "Whatever you do in Halma, I'm standing behind you. ”
Andu looked at Devon deeply, this earl who had only met once, he couldn't expect to be able to say such a thing.
His relationship with his teacher is so good...... Andu smiled incredulously.
Devin didn't explain much, but gave his own opinion on the topic just now.
"The Grand Duke of Palmer is too far away from us, and I have heard that this voyage of the cruise ship was proposed by the second prince for the purpose of the question of the ownership of the war in the Sea of Chia. ”
Andu listened very carefully, although he had already made his own judgment, but the change of information was often unimaginably fast.
All the secrets he learned were based on the past.
After coming into this world, information changes everywhere, and the direction of many things will become confusing over time.
Grand Duke Palmer is the second prince's person, so he obeys the second prince's order and sends the cruise ship under his name to the Sea of Chia.
But how could the third prince, Adelaide Louis Chenguang, leave the imperial capital with the ship?
In this world, for him, except for the imperial capital, it can be said that there is no safe place!
Why did the second prince agree to Chenguang's request? To say that Chenguang's actions were secretive enough that even the second prince did not know about it, he must not believe it.
It was a cruise ship directly under the Grand Duke under his command! How could such a thing be hidden? ?
Moreover, there were thousands of guests on the cruise ship, and there were naturally people who knew Chenguang, and the news of his departure from the imperial capital must have spread silently.
So what is his dependence on in such a situation? The purpose he pursues allows him to take such a big risk!
However, Devon's knowledge of these things is obviously limited, and some of the things that he said afterwards, which seem to others to be secret, are not so useful here in Andu.
Even in the eyes of Devon, the Grand Duke of Palmer turned out to be the man of the Great Prince!
For these Andu, he could only complain silently in his heart, his original task was not to deal with these people, and he couldn't be clearer about the relationship between Palmer and the second prince.
It can only be said that this group of people who are in the center of power are really unpredictable in terms of misleading information smoke bombs.
In addition to the voyage proposed by the second prince, although Andu did not find any other news from it, he still had some gains.
For example, in the eyes of most people, the relationship between the second prince and the Grand Duke of Palmer does not seem to be harmonious, and many people even speculate that Palmer is actually the eldest prince's person.
For Andu, the lone ranger, these are all problems that he has not been able to notice before, after all, a person's energy is limited, and he has never verified these things.
After chatting with Devon, Andu found a reason to leave the main seat.
Seeing that Ulysses's gaze was much kinder than before, he also had some guesses in his heart.
"It seems that I want to use my relationship with Tonali to bring the progress of this marriage closer......"
Andu guessed in his heart, but there was one thing he hadn't thought of.
"How did he know that the relationship between the teacher and the Earl Devon was discovered on the spur of the moment after he had chosen each other first, or was it based on this when he first chose the marriage target?"
After thinking about it, he dismissed the latter possibility.
After all, it is his own teacher who has an intimate relationship with the other party, and his own student can only be counted as an extra plus, and he cannot play a decisive problem at all.
found a free place, Andu ate casually, and kept chatting, but he didn't eat much......
Andu, who had things in his mouth, noticed that Tonali was slowly walking towards the center of the makeshift platform for the banquet, as if he was about to say something.
"Dear Gentlemen and Ladies, thank you all first of all for ......"
“...... Finally, in order to fill the sleepy afternoon in this boring winter day, we specially invited the famous classical orchestra and arranged a variety of circus, dance and other performances. ”
"I hope you all have a wonderful Friday together, thank you!"
As Tonali stepped off the high platform, a group of waiters in white waiter clothes quickly carried chairs, pianos and other musical instruments to the stage.
A seven-member classical orchestra, some holding a cello, some empty-handed, quickly came to the stage.
The sound of beautiful and melodious music sounded, and the guests showed intoxicated expressions.
Although he doesn't understand it very well, Andu can still feel the powerful charm of music, and the notes are tactfully inherited, which invisibly washes away the fatigue from the spirit.
With the performance, the banquet has become much more interesting, and for some unsociable guests, it is easy to pass the time.
One performance after another was seamlessly connected, making Andu, who was not interested in it, also watch it with relish, and time passed quickly in the process.
When the first sunset rises on the horizon, more guests slowly arrive.
Because there are many public holidays today, many guests can only participate in the evening banquet.
Looking at the guests who were brought in by the waiter, Andu had seen some of them, some had heard of them, and more of them were strangers.
Fortunately, there are also many acquaintances among them, such as Howman, Baron Cofidale, such as Ruskin......
Baron Kofidale arrived, and so did Yaniccia.
As soon as the girl came in, she was looking for something, and Andu instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the next minute, the girl's excited gaze was accurately locked on him.
"You're here so early?" Yannickia walked up to Andu, a little shyly.
The girl's light blue dress today, the low-cut long skirt perfectly outlines her budding curves, and the girl's unique shy and mature long skirt has no sense of disobedience, but adds a little charm.
Yaniccia's stunning appearance attracted the attention and attention of many young people for her, but all her eyes hit Andu in front of her.
"I've been here since the morning. Andu squeezed out a smile and said.
"That'...... You'll be ...... for a moment Do you want to go dancing?"
The girl lowered her head and said with a slightly red face.
