Chapter 265 The Old Mage's Thank You Gift

In the end, Lilian didn't choose to buy a dress. Although the fabric of the clothes in Dan's world has surpassed that of the contemporary Earth due to the existence of magic, the style is still not good.

Nowadays, waist corsets are popular among the upper class in the Kingdom of Gaul. Even though the Church of the God of Medicine has repeatedly persuaded them, the upper class women are still crazy about corsets, so that most of the dresses in tailor shops require waist corsets, and very few do not. , Lilian couldn't wear it either.

She was a little taller than the average woman of the era, and those that didn't need a corset, were children's gowns.

Therefore, Zhong Ye and the others just took a shower, changed into relatively clean clothes, and then walked towards Earl Fleury's mansion.

Earl Fleury's residence is located in the upper city. Fearing that the impact of the previous war would not be completely eliminated, many churches sent priests to patrol all night. Therefore, the city gate between the upper city and the lower city will not be closed these days. closure.

However, the priests were only patrolling and would not send anyone to help guard the city gate, and the city defense army had to send more soldiers to guard the city gate.

When Zhong Ye and Lilian passed the city gate, they were stopped for inspection, but after seeing the invitation card Zhong Ye took out, the city gate officer let them go.

"See what?"

After leaving the city gate, Zhong Ye suddenly asked a question.

Lilian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Zhong Ye was asking her if she had observed anything just now.

After hastily recalling what happened just now, Lilian pondered for a moment, and said, "The attitude of that city gate officer is wrong—the status of that Earl Fleury may be higher than we imagined."

Although it was not as exaggerated as nodding and bowing, the city gate officer did indeed shout to let him go after seeing the name on the invitation.

'Count Fleury' is not well-known, and they have been in Paris for almost half a month, but they have never heard of this name in other people's discussions. Among the nobles that people are keen to discuss, there is no 'Count Fleury' '.

But looking at the attitude of the city gate officer just now, Earl Fleury is obviously not a small nobleman, which means that someone is deliberately covering up the name of this nobleman.

The night in the upper city is completely different from that in the lower city. At night, only a few places in the lower city are lit up. However, except for the shops, most of the residences in the upper city are lit, and a few of them are lit all night.

There is a wind lantern hanging in front of every house. The meager light can only drive away the darkness in front of the door, but thousands of lights can illuminate every street and alley.

In the eyes of romantic poets, this may be a kind of silent warmth, but in Zhong Ye's eyes, this scene is extremely ironic.

In the lower city and outside the city, even with the help of many churches, people are still hovering on the verge of starving to death and freezing to death every day, while in the upper city, there are extra lights to constitute this "silent touch", which really corresponds to that sentence Words—the wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the road has frozen bones.

Even at night, there are many pedestrians on the road in the upper city, but there are not many people who know the 'Count Fleury'.

After asking several people in succession, Zhong Ye learned where Earl Fleury's residence was from a nobleman.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Zhong Ye and Lilian came to the door of a single-family villa that looked very simple.

In the Upper Town, where every inch of land is expensive, Earl Fleury's residence not only occupies a huge area, but also has a garden. Although the surrounding houses are gorgeous, they are inevitably dwarfed by this mansion.

When Zhong Ye and the others arrived, the gate of the garden just opened, and the deacon Zhong Ye had seen this morning was standing beside a carriage, about to board the carriage.

When the deacon saw Zhong Ye, he couldn't help being dumbfounded, "Zhong, Your Excellency Zhong Ye, why are you here?"

Zhong Ye glanced at him suspiciously, took out the invitation and shook it, "Didn't you invite me here?"

"It is indeed the master who invited you here..." The deacon looked at Zhong Ye, then at the carriage beside him, and sighed helplessly, "I am about to pick you up."

No wonder please paste the detailed address of the Earl's Mansion without marking, it turns out that someone will be sent to pick it up!

Zhong Ye suddenly realized, and then waved his hands indifferently, "Anyway, it's here, so don't worry about it so much."

As he said that, he looked towards the house not far away and asked, "So, can we go in now?"

"Of course you can, anytime."

The deacon took a breath, stretched his arms sideways, and made a guiding gesture, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, Miss Lilian, please come in."

Turning around, he gave instructions to the coachman, asking him to close the door and return the carriage to its original position. The deacon walked in front and led Zhong Ye and Lilian into the mansion.

Seeing that Zhong Ye and Lilian were still dressed as adventurers and carrying weapons, the deacon knew that he had to follow them so that no one would open their eyes and offend the two guests.

Under the guidance of the deacon, Zhong Ye and the others walked into the banquet hall of the Earl's Mansion.

The dazzling crystal chandelier hangs high in the center of the hall, surrounded by crystal wall lights of the same style, driving out the darkness that should have spread throughout the hall. Only through the huge vertical transparent glass window can one realize that the time has come night.

Looking around, all kinds of men and women in the hall are wearing gorgeous and expensive dresses, and the situation seems to be a little different from what the deacon said.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, I'm really sorry."

The deacon smiled wryly, and explained in a low voice: "Originally, my master only planned to hold a dinner party in the form of a club, but he couldn't stand the requests of other friends, so that the dinner party turned into a blind date dance... Originally, I had prepared a party for you and yours. The student brought a set of dresses, but I didn't expect you to come early..."

So that's the case... Zhong Ye nodded slightly, without blaming the deacon.

He could tell that the deacon was telling the truth, and the person who really needed to take responsibility was the organizer of the banquet.

After Zhong Ye and the others entered the banquet hall, many people's attention was attracted. It was because of the deacon's guidance that the nobles present did not act rashly.

Everyone is wearing formal attire. This is supposed to be a social place for the nobles, a place for the upper-class celebrities to exchange feelings, but two adventurers broke into it?
However, although the nobles said nothing, they did not hide the sarcasm and contempt in their eyes.

Being watched by those gazes, Lilian felt uncomfortable, so she couldn't help moving her steps, and shrank behind Zhong Ye.

"Hahaha! Your Excellency Zhong Ye, you are here!"

Just then, a loud laugh broke the embarrassing silence.

Zhong Ye turned his head to look, and saw the old sorcerer in a nightgown walking over with joy on his face.

—He was secretly expressing his dissatisfaction with Earl Fleury.

Seeing the appearance of the old sorcerer, Zhong Ye instantly understood his intentions, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he pulled Lilian from behind and greeted him.

"Let me introduce, this is my student, Lilian."

Lilian bent down to salute in a panic, and heard Zhong Ye say: "This is Marquis Cal Andres from the Kingdom of Castile, a legendary mage."

A legend?
Lilian was slightly taken aback.

"You should put my mage's identity first, because Marquis Andres has many, and the legendary mage named 'Kale Andres' is only me!" The old mage complained, and then looked at Lilian smiled again, "Hello little girl, I'm Carle Andres, your teacher's comrade-in-arms, he saved his life."

After finishing speaking, the old mage pulled Zhong Ye and, ignoring the astonished gazes of others, brought Zhong Ye and Lilian to the end of the banquet hall.

There were a few old men who looked similar to the old mage's age. Among these old men, there was another one who was wearing ordinary clothes like Zhong Ye and the others.

They should be the participants of the dinner that was originally scheduled, that is, the old mage's 'fellow friends'.

After Zhong Ye and the others were pulled to sit down by the old mage, a young woman with a curious face also came here, but the seats here were already full, and she could only rely on an old man who looked dignified.

"This is the famous Earl Fleury." The old mage pointed to the old man, "He is also the owner of this mansion, the king's uncle."

Earl Fleury coughed in embarrassment, "I know you have resentment against me, but the 'Grand Tournament' has been cancelled, Dande will start worrying about Lily's marriage again, as an uncle, I think I should do something, Since if you want to go on a blind date, one person is a blind date, and ten people are also a blind date, so it's better to call all the young people to make it more lively..."

Only then did Zhong Ye know that 'Felleri' was the name of the earl.

"But I didn't invite you to come to let you hold a blind date party!"

Hearing the old mage's yell, the other old people turned their heads guiltily.

Among them, the old man in normal clothes cleared his throat, held his pipe, and looked at Zhong Ye.

"You asked us to come here to build weapons for your Excellency?"

Hearing this, the angry old mage let out a breath, became serious, nodded and said: "Your Excellency Zhong Ye is my savior, I thought about it, and found that I didn't seem to have anything to repay, and then I remembered his main weapon If it is broken, I want to help him build a new weapon as a thank you for saving his life."

As he said that, the old mage also looked at Zhong Ye, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, the matter is just like this, please feel free to ask, we will definitely meet your request and create a weapon that suits your wishes!"
