Chapter 55

2014-08-16

Wide and clean roads, gorgeous manor houses, and cavalry troops patrolling from time to time. This is the Black Rock City East City District, where most of the aristocratic mansions hang out.

Driving a little deeper into the city, in a large manor, a majestic building suddenly appeared. Under the shroud of night, it is like a creeping prehistoric giant beast, arrogant in all directions. The thick black stone wall, the imposing dark gold gate, and a sign in the shape of an iron anchor hang on the gate, this is the Auston family castle.

Looking at the towering door and wall, Tang En let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help rubbing his hands. It's really impressive... well, the defense is also very strict.

The latter's evaluation was made on the cold giant bow and repeater on the wall and the unknown metal iron pipe. Fortunately, he didn't need to penetrate the wall this time. Tang En took out a The gilt invitation was handed to a steward who was waiting in front of the car door.

The steward took the invitation and opened it, then bowed slightly: "Your Excellency Ambrose Pete, welcome you. Please!"

Tang En nods, and then The carriage entered the castle through the gate.

Huh...Tang En eyebrows raised , the eyes suddenly brightened. Squares, fountains, statues... everything seems just right and magnificent.

The carriage stopped on one side of the square, and Tang En walked towards the main hall.

Hey, why does the person in front look familiar?

"Joah?"

The woman in front of the woman wearing a long pleated skirt turned her head in surprise, with blonde hair and a heroic yet feminine face, it was Tang En for a long time. Unseen Joah.

"Hi, Becky!"

At this moment, a woman in a fiery-red dress trotted out behind Tang En and hugged Joah.

Tang En's mouth twitched lightly, and this bastard is here too...

"It's really you! I didn't dare to confirm it just now. I haven't seen you for a long time."Becky Grabbing Joah's arm, he said cheerfully.

"Well, yeah, something happened recently, so..."

"Is it because of Vincent... uh, sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Becky spit stuck out his tongue.

"Vincent?" Joah shook his head unconsciously, "Vincent is quite sad... Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's have a good chat tonight."

"Okay, okay. You don't know how boring I am recently, and no one plays with me... Wow, the skirt is so pretty and fluffy, you have such a good figure, I don't even dare to wear it... ..."

"It's supported by a silver ring, and it's very heavy..."

Becky took Joah's hand, and the two of them walked inside, meeting each other and muttering softly, Laugh and laugh every now and then.

Vincent? Tang En smacked his lips and entered the hall.

The melodious sound of the violin, the crisp sound of clinking glasses, and the slightly noisy conversation...Tang En just entered the hall, he felt a warm body, all kinds of voices asserts the senses.

Such gatherings were common among nobles, the difference was only a matter of size. Similar to the last time Tang En attended Vincent Manor, it was a small theme music party. Of course, tonight is undoubtedly a large-scale banquet, and this kind of party will test the comprehensive ability of the organizer. So to a certain extent, this is also a kind of show of strength.

Tang En picked up a glass of wine, walked slowly through the crowd, and browsed the entire hall without a trace.

From time to time, as if attracted by a conversation, approached to listen.

From time to time, it's like meeting an acquaintance and raising a glass from a distance... In this case, no one will refuse, and the person who is signaled often smiles back and raises a glass to drink. Then after Tang En passed by, I searched wildly in my head, who was that person just now? At which party did you meet?

Older people talk about current affairs, youngsters talk about romance. Businessmen talk about trading cooperation, women talk about gossip and interesting things... probably so!

Tang En also saw Joah and Becky. At this time, there were many aristocratic young people around Joah. These young people were either elegant or calm, or affectionate or hard-to-play... It was like opening screens one by one The peacocks are competing to express their beautiful feathers.

It is not surprising that there is such a phenomenon. It is said that a woman's intelligence is inversely proportional to her appearance, but this sentence is obviously not suitable for Joah. Upright youthful youth, bright and clean appearance, but also a noble and mysterious Magician, Joah has the capital to make people so obsessed and crazy.

When Vincent was chasing Joah furiously, these people thought they were not very hopeful. But now that Vincent has been assassinated, Joah has become a flower without an owner. Naturally, everyone wants to be the flower protector.

Compared to Joah, who was surrounded by crowds, Becky was much more depressed. Her friends were surrounded by people and couldn't get away, and because of some family reasons, no one wanted to approach her now. At this time, I had to drink stuffy wine while panting with rage...

After a while, Tang En had walked around the hall, and all the entrances and exits were clearly marked in the heart. At the same time, he also found that there is one thing that everyone talks about the most tonight...

"Good evening, Your Excellency Paul."

"Good evening, Your Excellency Locke."

"Hey, why haven't I seen Victor recently?"

"You don't know? Something happened in his family..."

"Uh, You don't mean to be targeted by the noble alliance, right?"

"Accurately, it was targeted by the noble alliance led by the Robert Count family. The long-running Trading Company of his family is almost Got knocked out..."

"Ai, poor Victor...Isn't there any way to stop this alliance?"

"It's hard, if it's just those five Viscount, the problem is solved. But now the Robert family is taking the lead, tsk tsk, the strength is terrifying..."

"Then let them grow like this?"

"That's not true. No, what do you think the party is for tonight? I heard that several viscount patriarchs have approached Auston Count, and want him to lead an alliance to fight against the noble alliance.”

“ Phew... that's it, with the Auston family coming forward, it will surely be able to suppress the noble alliance."

"Who knows, there has been no movement in the noble alliance recently... I'm not at ease. , I always think they are going to do something."

"Locke, you think too much, maybe they heard the news that the Auston family was going to come forward and died?"

p>

"Ai, I hope so..."

Similar conversations continued to spread throughout the hall, and everyone was obviously very afraid of this noble alliance. Of course, this has nothing to do with Tang En, he just listened to it casually, and soon, he found an acquaintance while wandering.

On the right side of the hall, there is a long table of cedar wood, on which all kinds of delicious wines and exotic fruits are piled up for guests to take at will.

At this moment, a well-dressed and elegant young man was standing at the table, and he saw his hands on the table, tapping at will, as if he was thinking about which food to choose.

A moment later, he snapped his fingers, leaned down, stretched out his right hand and took a fruit platter.

Suddenly, he only felt that his left hand was being grabbed vigorously, and a low voice sounded in his ear: "thief." Slippery, the cuffs are edged.

The person who grabbed his left hand seemed to know what he was going to do, and he pressed down, forcing the edge of his cuff back again, and then the young man only felt a pain in his left wrist and couldn't help opening it. palm, and the person standing behind him stepped back.

As soon as the young suddenly turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with a very gloomy appearance looking at the silver spoon in his hand with interest, with an aquiline nose on his face.

"tsk tsk, don't miss a spoon, Jack, you really have a Thief style."

"That's sterling silver, okay... eh, you're... Arthur?" Jack said hesitantly.

"Nonsense, who am I?" Tang En rolled the eyes.

Jack's eyes swept across his face constantly: "What is the way we divide?"

"Five or five!" Tang En answered very decisively.

"Fuck off... oh god, it's really you! How did you do that?."

"Secret... don't touch it, don't take my nose off. "Tang En slapped away Jack's paw that was reaching out to touch his nose.

"It's incredible! This Camouflage technique is amazing!" Jack was amazed at the Camouflage on Tang En's face. In fact, he also painted a layer of stuff on his face and changed his hairstyle. . However, from the professional point of view, the weak spot can still be seen. For example, Tang En recognized him just now.

"Okay, seriously, when will we start?"

Jack obviously had a plan, and said without hesitation: "When the Auston count comes out! It's a little closer to the study, so let's go to the study first. If we don't go to the storeroom again."

"Okay, then I'll go and observe the terrain."

"Wait! ”

“en? ”

“Give me the spoon first!”

“…”
