Chapter 22 Night Banquet
It will take an hour to arrive at dusk, but the hall of the manor has been brightly lit, and the torches on each wall platform have been lit. The guests who had arrived stood on both sides of the wide central aisle and gathered in more than a dozen small circles to talk in a low voice. Next to the flowerbed are musicians, drummers, flutes and violinists, as well as horns, harps and leather bagpipes. After the summoner standing by the door signed up for taboos and titles in turn, the guests were escorted into the manor hall by the waitress.
Liou is wearing dark blue trousers, a light gray top with embroidered silver thread, and a five-pointed star badge on his chest. Behind him, Lu Yuewu wore a light blue dress, high boots, a golden belt around her waist, and a red sword clung to it; her long hair was combed into a simple and refreshing ponytail; Rosie was much simpler. She put on a bright red mage robe with her red hair color, and the jewels and bead chain on the robe were shining, just like hers. Personality is hot and hot.
When they entered the manor together, Leo could feel people's eyes and stared at their faces curiously and doubtfully. They walked through the crowd and were stopped when they walked to the hall on the grounds that they did not have invitations. The guards next to him saw them, but they didn't say a word at this time.
"What the hell!" Rosie cursed in a low voice, "Where did that woman die? Did she mean to see our jokes?"
Li Ou felt that other people's eyes turned into ridicule and contempt. Let them laugh, Li Ou looked around and thought, let them sneer and talk until he had enough. I won't shrink back like this. He told the attendant, "We know your young master and lady. Please let me know."
However, the other party refused harshly. In this way, they bared at the door and did not give in to each other. This time, it attracted not only the contempt of others, but also some sarcasm in my ears. Leo turned a deaf ear.
They were deadlocked for a while, and the servant had a faint intention of retreating, when Luther came out of the hall. He was wearing silver light armor, and the scabbard on his waist was inlaid with gems, covered with gorgeous golden hollow patterns. The servant seemed to find the backbone of the master and complained first. The young master of black thorns stared at him fiercely, and he was defeated.
Luthe said blankly, "Ivela asked me to take you in." Then he turned around and walked in.
"Let's go." Leo took the lead in following Luther's footsteps and stepped into the hall.
Before harvesting enough capital, he had to deal with others carefully and act according to their faces. He was already psychologically prepared for this. His only regret was that he should not follow Miss Bachelor's advice and accept her invitation to bring Lu Yuewu and Rosie. Some things are enough for him to bear alone. He always thinks so.
Luther led them into the hall and left alone without saying a word, into the circle of several peers dressed as knights. So they found an unnoticed corner and looked at everyone in the hall carefully.
At this time, there are nearly 100 guests in the hall. They all dressed beautifully, with fake smiles on their faces, and swam like fish in the crowd. Each circle is like a bubble full of oxygen, allowing these fish with beautiful scales to get into it, take a big breath, and then leave without hesitation before the other party gets bored. Of course, when they look at each other, the fish will stop and sing in each other's ears in a low voice that humans can't understand. Several fish also approached them, but after seeing the badge on Li Ou's chest, he left without saying a few words.
Rosie squeezed the glass tightly with her hand. What on earth are we here for?" She asked in a low voice, and the strength in her hand made Leo worry about whether she would crush the glass.
For what? In order to dance and rest, and to deal with foxes. He reached out and grabbed her hand and opened her fingers. Whatever it is for, we are here." He said, "You should not leave halfway out of etiquette."
"That's right!" Suddenly, an angry voice came in, "The guest should not leave early, but she can leave you." Speaking of a mage with a tux and bruised robe, he approached them with a bad face. "You greedy mosquitoes can be seen everywhere." He sarcastically and turned to Rosie, "Why are you with this guy?" He questioned at the head.
She is worried that there is no place to vent, which is really a timely rain sent to her door. Li Ou chose to keep silent about the provocation and hold his arms to watch.
"What does it have to do with you?"
"You are a mage!" The other party is bitter.
"You don't need to remind me. Moreover," Rosie glanced at each other, "I'm sure you're not my opponent."
The other party blushed. At this time, Li Ou found that the mage was actually not old, but his old face looked particularly old. We should draw a clear line with the alchemist!" He clenched his fists, "Otherwise...otherwise..."
Li Ou raised his eyebrows, "Otherwise, what?"
"We are already enemies! Treat your enemies ruthlessly."
If so, we will have to fight. Li Ou noticed the vigilant eyes of the bodyguard, and the conflict between the alchemist and the mage has been particularly eye-catching since the appearance of Black Dawn. So he shrugged his shoulders, didn't answer a word, and retreated to Lu Yuewu's side.
The oriental girl's expression is indifferent. Neither confused by the luxurious decoration of the hall nor angered by others whispering. She sat on the bench silently, with her eyes as vigilant as an falcon, but turned a blind eye to Luo Xi's play.
"Aren't you worried about her?"
"She has her own moderation."
Liou doesn't know where her trust in Rosie comes from. At this time, he heard Rosie say, "Are you my father? Or my mother?" She turned her back to them, so she couldn't see her movements. Oh, I forgot that you are missing something and something else. What a pity. Actually, I should have called you an old man. Or... Mr. Mage without hair?"
Li Ou suddenly just wanted to laugh.
The mage is like a rabbit trampled on its tail. What are you talking about? He screamed. His voice was only sharp as if she had been broken into the bathroom and looked at a daughter, which attracted many guests to look back.
"Don't admit it." Leo imagined that Rosie smiled at this time, "How can she cover it up?"
"I'm not, I'm not!"
He tried his best to deny it, but he couldn't stop Rosie's enthusiasm. I can't help you." As she spoke, a sudden wind rushed towards the mage and curled his hair in a blink of an eye - it was a brown wig - his head was bare, like a funny clown holding a curved mirror, dazzling. He was dismayed by people's ridicule.
Li Ou was about to make fun of Rosie, but he heard the messenger shout the name of a stranger, and he suddenly found that there was a sudden silence in the hall for a moment.
A servant led the two knights into the hall. They are all dressed in armor with sharp eyes. One of them is their old acquaintance, Knight Ipahui Kay, and the other is unimpressed. With a beard and a stern look, he walked steadily in front of the Kay Knight and stepped into it with his head held high.
The knight saw them, so he whispered something to the man and walked towards them.
"Who is he?" Li Ou skipped the greeting and asked first.
"People call it Flame White Rose." There is a white rose surrounded by flames on his armor. He is our deputy leader.
"Why did he come?"
The knight blinked at him, "I guess you want to ask me why I came?"
"Questions are said one by one, just as you can only answer one by one."
"Well, it seems that the environment here makes you a little nervous." Leo looked at him silently. He smiled unsmilably and picked up his wine glass to hide his embarrassment. Leo has been patient. Lord Delaware received an invitation and decided to come, and I was the errand boy beside him, and naturally I was caught.
"Have you been promoted?"
The knight looked left and right, lowered his voice and smiled bitterly, "It's just being transferred from one stable to another."
"Don't you like him?"
"Be careful what you say." The knight said solemnly, with an awe-inspiring expression, "The knight's rule."
Because in this way, you won't make mistakes and won't come out of your mouth. Li Ou thought.
"Speaking of which, Miss Bachelor is actually the daughter of black thorns." He sighed, "I saw the invitation and thought I was dazzled, but I didn't expect it to be true?"
"Of course it's true." The knight's expression was strange, and he looked at him with a smile, "Is it that you have a love for her?"
