Chapter 444
Ten days later, the banquet of the Imperial Family wizard Academy in Golovin officially kicked off.
The annual reception banquet in spring has long become an important tradition-not only to entertain the nobles who have close contacts with the Academy and the various guilds of Imperial Capital, but also many apprentices are about to complete School, an important day to become a wizard.
For this reason, in the "pragmatic" Imperial Family wizard Academy, this is not only a grand reception, but also a place where many apprentices try their best to "sell" themselves.
They will show their highest achievement in public in the banquet hall, or the result of an experiment... in order to attract the attention of the nobles present or the attention of a guild.
At the beginning of the Hua Deng, the crystal clear and near-transparent crystal chandeliers make the whole banquet hall look like daylight, but outside the window is the moonless starry night in the early spring, nothing more beautiful can be imagined;
The nobles in small groups gathered at the wine table to chat, or surrounded by an apprentice, looking at the chattering "little wizards" with great interest... all kinds All kinds of novel inventions and experiments complement each other, making the hall lively.
Those noisy conversations, loud laughter, clashing dance steps, interlocking ambitions... constitute a dazzling song.
All of this made Charlotte Torino who stepped here a trance... as if he was not in the capital of the empire, but at the midsummer banquet of the Scarlet Blood Castle.
But then thinking of the purpose of the dinner today, she immediately restored her original solemn and solemn expression, but those nervous eyes were still looking at it in private, clutching the one sent from the Heavenly Vault Invitation.
The specially-dressed female count put on a Byrne-style blue long dress, her black hair was pulled on top of her head, and she also hung an exquisite ruby brooch.
When she entered the door, she noticed a lot of gazes around her, temptation, curiosity, appreciation... They were all imperial capital hedonistic sons of rich parents, similar to the knight-errant Knights of Byrne. Far worse than worse!
Of course, and the Highness Brandon Desalion... Thinking of the guy's smirk when the two met for the first time, it's really hard for Charlotte to have any affection for this guy. .
Maybe you are really too impatient? She frowned slightly, and her palms holding the invitation card were sweating slightly...Whether she can form an alliance with the recently prevailing prince, is the key to whether the Torino family can regain the title!
Although she is only a newcomer, she can clearly feel the great influence of Connold, the heir to the throne, in the first country-the other party is the future heir of the Sackland Empire, the woman with the same name as her Future generations are absolutely impossible to help Byrne to restore the country.
For them, only a weak and dismembered Byrne Duchy, who is able to acknowledge allegiance to them, and devote everything to the Desalion family, Byrne Duchy!
Give him another chance and see what he would say, just for the family and Byrne Duchy...as if to convince herself, Charlotte kept talking to herself in her heart.
Just as the anxious female count was about to look for the silhouette of a certain prince, her eyes suddenly stopped on a beautiful decoration.
It is a hand crossbow with a very delicate structure. The straps on both sides prove that it can be directly fixed on the forearm... Charlotte reacted almost immediately. Such a flat and small shape, if you put it on The upper sleeve cannot even be easily noticed.
"Charlotte female count, you really have a vision!"
Turning her head immediately, female count saw the Gray Thrall wizard who gave herself invitations , Is looking at himself kindly.
"It's rude, I'm just..."
"It doesn't have to be so, such a delicate hand crossbow is one of the very best among the many exhibits today." Gray Thrall waved his hand implicitly: "even more how, or from a foreign wizard's handwriting."
"Foreign wizard?"
"Yes, we Imperial The apprentices of the Family Wizard Academy don’t have such clever craftsmanship to make a hand crossbow the size of a dinner knife box.” The middle-aged wizard smiled implicitly, slightly nodded:
"Not only that, the hand crossbow used It's not an ordinary crossbow arrow, but a sharp blade about five inches in length. It is forged from steel with excellent hardness. It can be used as a short blade dagger when needed... For a noble lady like you, it's a perfect self -protection weapon."
"Thank you very much, I am very interested."
Charlotte smiled politely; the other party explained and recommended so enthusiastically, and it is not unfamiliar People, it would be very rude if they turned down.
And it is really convenient to have such a weapon, in case the prince, who looks particularly asshole, intends to force himself...you can also use this thing to threaten him.
In a corner of the banquet hall, the silly "jerk prince" suddenly sneezed unfathomable mystery...
"That's really good, because I was planning to Do you recommend this foreign wizard." Gray Thrall suddenly showed a meaningful expression:
"And...it is said that you still have a fate."
One side Fate...Is it any Byrne alchemist I know?
When that person appeared in her sight, Charlotte’s surprised gaze suddenly changed, from curiosity to astonishment, until the final face was frosty:
"long Time no see, Lord Loren Torino."
The black hair wizard gave a helpless chuckle and shrugged his shoulders:
"Long time no see, Charlotte Torino Miss."
Grey Thrall, who was caught in the middle, turned around and left wisely before any one of them could speak.
There is still a lot of cowardice around, happy laughter and cheerful voices, the atmosphere between the two people has dropped to freezing point...The black hair wizard's eyes make the black hair wizard feel that even if she immediately drew a knife and stabbed herself to death Nothing strange.
No, it’s really weird...Where did I offend her?
Loren was puzzled with his hands behind his back, with a formulaic smile on his face, very "politely" and quietly waiting for the other person to speak first.
Perhaps the surrounding atmosphere "saved" his life. Charlotte, who held his mind, opened the mouth and said coldly: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming Brandon." ·His Royal Highness Desalion’s wizard advisor."
"This little thing is nothing to worry about." Loren shook the head with an indifferent expression:
"It’s true. Your willingness to accept the invitation is really surprising to me... After experiencing the last time, we thought you would not come."
"Yes, but for Byrne, for the Torino family... I can do anything."
Charlotte's expression is extremely serious, but she can't help being coldly snorted: "It's completely different from some people!"
This... Isn't it talking about me?
The black hair wizard who is becoming more and more unfathomable mystery mumbled in my heart, reminiscent of the information I got from Brandon, vaguely as if he had noticed something, but he was not sure...
"Forget it, where is Brandon Desalion?" Charlotte suddenly opened the mouth and said coldly, "We asked your cronies to wait for more than just such a toy, right? "
"I can talk to him, but it must be... in private." She said this solemnly, her expression seemed to make a huge determination: "You shouldn't want it either This kind of thing is exposed too early."
"Although this is the Imperial Family wizard Academy, who knows if that wizard has been bought by'that person' long ago?"
It's a female count. Although she is angry, she can still be so sensible and understand the truth... Can't help but quietly praise the other person from the bottom of my heart, Loren can't help but look at her.
If you don’t look at that cold face, it’s still pretty!
"On the second floor of the banquet hall, turn left to the first room...His Royal Highness Brandon Desalion is waiting for you there." Loren, who face doesn't change, said casually. The hand crossbow was handed to her:
"This thing is given to you, even if it is the last compensation."
Taking the hand crossbow, the coldly snorted Charlotte turned and walked away. Entered the crowd at the banquet;
Is it because of me, or did she throw a certain prince’s pot on me?
Reluctantly shook the head, confirming that no one around was staring at her black hair wizard, tidied up quietly, and then moved towards the direction where the female count left.
Unconsciously, he didn't notice a certain person hiding in the crowd, with clear and transparent eyes like sapphire...
