Chapter 207
Along the clean and tidy cobblestone avenue, the exquisite carriage shuttles past the sound of wheels and horses’ hooves, stopping at the Silver Hall like a row upon row flying fish-the best in all Eboden One of the wealthy families, the residence of the Bellini family.
At the beginning of the Hua Deng, the visiting guests walked off the carriage neatly, lined up tacitly outside the garden, and handed the prepared invitations to the guards guarding outside.
The visiting guests are definitely not a nobody-the nobleman of the Eboden Freedom Council, the veteran and mentor of the nine-pointed star wizard tower, the representative of Holy Cross Church...half of Eboden’s celebrity Powerful and powerful gathered here.
Of course, they are not only here to attend the banquet, just as the Bellini family’s banquet is not to celebrate the Midsummer Festival. This will be a historic moment, and they are all witnesses.
And there is no difference between myself and them, just harboring malicious intentions.
Standing outside the gate, Loren looks at this gold and jade in glorious splendor mansion-behind the lush and green garden, there is a three-story building with a silver dome under the night Still extremely dazzling.
Be aware that this is already the essence of Eboden. Having such a palace comparable to a palace in this place is not only daunting financial resources, but also a symbol of power and strength.
Loren, who put on a red and black dress, holds the "tree heart" in his right hand, the sorcerer is hidden in the pocket inside the robe, and the well-made "bright silver" is simply used as a decoration Pin hangs on his right waist-even if it is a banquet, he must be fully armed to be relieved.
"Are there any good plans?" Asriel's voice on his shoulder floated in Loren's mind: "You now have an invitation card, you can just and honorable go in, what's next-just take the potion formula and Run away?"
"It's not completely impossible." The black hair wizard carried his right hand, and constantly looked at the garden inside the gate. Fully armed guards could be seen almost everywhere as far as his eyes could go. In patrols, there are no fewer than twenty in the periphery, and there must be more in there:
"However, it seems difficult to break through. It seems that the Bellini family has learned a lesson."
Route Infinite, who came here by himself, once said that he and Eboden’s night watchmen tried to break into the Silver Hall of the Bellini family, but suffered heavy casualties and only grabbed A small bottle of test product was reached. It seems that the Bellini family has strengthened their defenses since then.
Even if he is confident in himself, Loren does not think he can be lucky-not to mention that there are many guests tonight, there is no lack of accomplished wizards and excellent Knights. ...That is to die.
"Then what are you going to do?" The boy's voice was full of confusion, and he didn't forget to joke: "Say two good things, and ask them to give it to you?"
"I I'm more willing to react accordingly." Loren slightly smiled, black pupils looked towards another carriage stopped outside the door, and a petite silhouette was walking towards him.
The "witty" Black Feather Eagle took the initiative to fly away from his shoulder, and landed firmly on the top of the door of the Silver Hall. The scarlet eyes looked around. The crows of the day make no difference.
"It’s so early, His Excellency Ain Rand."
Also found his Ariel Corona smiling at Loren. Unlike when I met in the theater before, the girl put on a black silver-rimmed dress similar to Loren, with a loose ash-gray tied on top of her head, a delicate agate necklace on her neck, and a sapphire brooch on her chest. Still dazzling in the night.
At this moment, Ariel is no longer the sick girl Loren knows, but the noble Miss Corona, like Princess.
As for the only thing that hasn't changed, Loren, with his pupils hanging down slightly, "unintentionally" caught a glimpse of the corners of the girl's skirt, as well as the bare feet exposed from below.
Is it because of special reasons, or just a hobby?
"Sorry for making you wait so long." The girl stepped forward and proactively stretched out her right hand: "If there is any rudeness, I hope you are not angry with me."
Loren could of course hear what she meant-not that she was late, but that she was threatened with favor and had to accompany her to the Midsummer Festival banquet.
"You're welcome, it's my honor." Holding up the delicate little hand, the smiling black hair wizard walked side by side with the girl to the gate of the Silver Hall. The guard who received the invitation heard that it was the Eldest Young Lady of the Corona family.
At the moment of passing the gate, Loren raised his head and laughed towards the black feather eagle at the top of the eaves, and a certain "young man" was also staring at him, flapping his wings lazily, and said to him individual.
"Are you looking at what?" The girl beside her suddenly asked, her footsteps extremely gentle.
"It's nothing, it's just a crow." Loren immediately changed the subject: "Almost you should tell me, why do I have to accompany you to this banquet?"
"You are really too anxious." Ariel's bloodless lips curled slightly: "Did anyone say this to you?"
"More than once, more than one." black The hair wizard looked straight ahead, and kept his eyes swept from the surroundings, remembering the surrounding environment and the number of guards as much as possible: "But I still want to know."
"If I tell you, I want Alto Bellini’s alchemy potion formula, would you believe me?"
Ariel spoke suddenly, but did not see any waves on Loren’s face, calmly and even a little abnormal: "Then how do you plan to get that potion formula?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, but no matter which method it is, I need your help." The girl smiled cutely: "If everything goes well, that recipe will be yours."
The black hair wizard didn’t answer, and still looked around, as if he were really guests at the banquet. The female companion is strolling and playing in the garden.
"Just kidding, Ariel's goal is not a potion-what Ariel wants is much more precious than a recipe, and it's harder to get it."
The girl’s smile suddenly relaxed: "So tonight is just to confirm whether that thing is in the hands of the Bellini family. Even if it exists, you don’t have to force it."
"... I guess you won't tell me what that thing is, right?"
"Since you all know, why do you need to ask?" The thin lovable body hugged Loren's left arm, and the girl stood on tiptoe Tiptoes exhale gently in Loren’s ears:
"But if Your Excellency Loren wants to get the alchemy potion formula, Ariel will definitely help."
"You misunderstood No, my only mission tonight is to accompany you through the entire banquet." Loren who face doesn't change replied in a low voice: "As for other things, simply..."
The black hair with broken words The wizard was stunned for a moment, slightly wrinkled and frowned looked towards the garden side, where a very familiar silhouette was standing there, serving only the young aristocrats around him.
He obviously put on makeup, and even dressed up specially in disguise. He looks no different from the other waiters here, but he is tall and short, and his eyes and face are not deceiving.
Peter Fasha, he is absolutely right.
At the same time, it seemed that he could feel the line of sight behind him, and the "waiter" inadvertently turned and looked at each other with Loren, and the picture froze at this moment.
In an instant, the expression of the "waiter" changed abruptly, and the expression of fear immediately appeared in his eyes, and he immediately avoided the black hair wizard's gaze, without looking back, and fled in a panic. garden.
What is going on? For a moment Loren fell into thinking, even if he was pretending to be a waiter and wanted to get in here, he wouldn't be afraid to look like this when he saw himself.
Or, he is not looking at himself, but a certain gaze behind him? !
Thinking of Loren here, I suddenly felt a little more fearful in my heart, and some did not dare to look back.
"What are you doing?" The girl holding her arms suddenly opened the mouth and said: "Did you see a friend you know?"
"...Nothing, it should be I confessed my mistake." Shaking his head, Loren pretended to be relaxed and smiled, as if nothing had happened: "Let’s get in now, it’s been a long time."
It seems that this time The Midsummer Festival banquet is more interesting than I thought!
