660 owed
Hearing this, the two looked up.
Lux lazily lay on the railing, with a slight sneer on her face: "Little white face, don't dream, I have no interest in you, go back wherever you come from." ”
Beta looked at Nasdette questioningly, and the latter said rather embarrassedly, "This is my daughter Lux, and she seems to have misunderstood you. ”
After saying hello, Beta entered the city lord's mansion, went up to the third floor, and returned to his room.
Nadette said helplessly: "Lux, be a lady, don't go too far, Lord Cook is not a servant. Nor is it a slave. ”
Lux snorted, not quite believing her father's words: "I know that he is not a servant, nor is he a slave, and he is probably the one you asked me to be my husband, but I really have no interest in this waste." My man, if not a prince, must be one of the mighty warriors of knighthood, or knights. He's a little white face and nothing. ”
Nadette originally wanted these two to develop, but when he saw his daughter's situation, he thought about it or forget it. He said helplessly: "Okay, I won't mediate between him and you, but don't insult Cook again, in case you anger him and be taught a lesson by him, I won't help you." ”
"He dares!"
Lux sneered and left the balcony.
Beta returned to the room, made a few less perfect scrolls, and was about to rest for a while, when he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, Robben's face appeared in front of him, which was not handsome, but a little obscene.
"Our third group is going to have a celebration in the morning of the big house, Cook, you come with us."
Hearing this, Beta naturally wanted to participate, even if he was impersonating Cook, he had to have a good relationship with this gang, after all, there was no direct conflict of interest.
The other four were already waiting in the big house, and the large table in the middle was filled with food and fruit, as well as some sour wine.
There is no such thing as distilled spirits in this world, and there are quite a few players who can do it, but Beta can't.
Moreover, as a spellcaster, he also doesn't like to drink too much alcohol, which will have a great impact on his mental power.
However, in many cases, the banquet is about an atmosphere, whether the food is good or not, and whether the drink is refreshing or not is not important, just be lively.
Although the degree of sour wine is several degrees, these people will inevitably be a little upset if they pour too much. The warrior has a high physique, strong hangover ability, and is not easy to get drunk, but the two agility classes like Heidi and Sion are already a little fluttery.
The six of them ate and drank and made a fuss, which seemed to be extremely noisy, probably because they were too drunk, Heidi suddenly sat down next to Beta, hugged him and threw him off, and his whole body was almost leaning on him, and said: "Cook, to be honest, you are quite likable, if I were ten years younger, I would definitely fight for you, but now that I am old, I am not as beautiful as before, and you don't look down on me anymore." ”
"Heidi, you're still beautiful." Beta complimented: "It's just that I have someone in my heart, otherwise I will definitely be obsessed with you." ”
A group of people next to him coaxed: "Kiss one, kiss one." ”
Hahaha! Heidi leaned back with laughter, and the flowers trembled, and she left Beta and sat back in her chair.
Beta felt it, and Heidi was still testing herself.
But temptation is temptation, it doesn't matter.
Drinking, Robben suddenly said: "Alas, we can only drink here by ourselves, I heard that there will be a banquet on the first floor tonight, but we were ordered by the young lady not to participate, and we don't feel very comfortable." ”
It seems that Robben is also a little drunk, as a professional, he is employed by Nadette, and it is reasonable not to say these obviously emotional words, but he did.
As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent.
Heidi's expression was even more ugly.
Sion suddenly asked, "Sir Cook, I wonder if you have been invited?" ”
In the minds of Sion and the others, Beta is both a spell caster and a nobleman, and his status is not much higher than that of ordinary professionals like them, so he has to be invited. Although the professions were not too afraid of the aristocracy, and their status was much higher than that of ordinary people and merchants, they still could not be counted as real upper-class people, because the nobles held banquets and rarely invited professionals from the physics department.
Beta shook her head: "No, I was even scolded by her, saying that I was a little white face." ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then laughed at the same time, they felt that Beta was joking with them, who would dare to have a relationship with a powerful dragon vein warlock and a little white face.
Beta saw that they did not believe and did not explain.
The celebration of the three groups lasted until the evening, and then dispersed, because the guest hall on the first floor was ready to start the banquet, and the people below were all dignitaries, and a few professional mercenaries on the third floor naturally couldn't 'do it against others'.
Beta rested for a while, preparing to make some scrolls, and then he heard a loud voice from below, so he gave up, although he could have set up a soundproof barrier to prevent outside sounds from entering, but for some reason, he suddenly wanted to be lazy.
The silver moonlight poured onto the balcony, and Beta moved a chair to sit over, watching the scene of Echo City and enjoying the cool night breeze.
He suddenly felt that he hadn't been so leisurely in a long time, and although it was good to have a fulfilling life, it was also necessary to relax and relax once in a while.
He remembered that in the past, in the game, although many times it was very hard and exciting, there was also a lot of free time, playing everywhere, looking at the scenery, and life was really happy at that time.
But now, there are too many things to deal with, and the clues of the Wolkin Temple, the Persian Cat and Xiaobai are also checked, and there are even many miscellaneous things. Sometimes he even wonders if he didn't know Persian Cat and Xiaobai, just an ordinary person, would it be easier?
Of course, this thought is only occasionally remembered, and it is impossible for him to give up and forget about his two wives.
He closed his eyes on the balcony for a while, and when it was night, he heard a knock at the door.
He went over and opened the door, and found three excited young girls standing outside, one of whom was Nadette's daughter, Lux.
"You see, this is the new little white face, who actually wants to pursue me, do you think he is a little whimsical." Lux's face was flushed, she was a little unsteady on her feet, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on her body.
One of the blonde and blue-eyed girls looked at Beta, her eyes lit up slightly: "Hey, it looks pretty handsome, Miss Lux, if you don't want it, let it go to me, I like this type very much." ”
Lux waved his hand heavily: "Okay, no problem, take it, he dares to say no, I'll make him look good!" ”
Beta narrowed her eyes and slammed the door shut.
After a brief silence, there was a frantic knock on the door of the room, like a drum beating gong, and then outside, there were three women's invectives.
"Little white face, you dare to slam my door, you are impatient, right?" This is Lux's voice.
"Boy, you don't know who you offended, she's the princess of Echo City, if you know each other, come out quickly and apologize." This is the voice of a blonde woman.
"Bastard, open the door." This is the voice of the third woman.
Beta didn't bother to pay attention to them.
But the three women were really drunk, and knocked vigorously on the door outside, and scolded more and more ugly, until at last they scolded their parents.
Beta couldn't take it anymore and opened the door.
When the three women saw him, they were first slightly happy, and then even more furious.
Before they could curse, Beta flicked his fingers, and several thin lines of lightning appeared out of thin air and struck the three women.
They twitched at the same time, then sat down on the ground together.
It's not magic, it's just trick...... The lightning element condensed with spiritual power has no power, but it can make people feel numb all over the body temporarily, and these three women are ordinary people, and they lost their ability to move immediately after being electrocuted.
Beta was about to go back to her room, but she heard an angry roar in front of her: "Cook, what are you doing?" ”
Beta looked up and saw that it was Urban. The latter ran over if the bull went berserk.
Lux, half-lying on the ground, still twitching, stared at Beta with resentment in her eyes.
She was a little surprised when she saw Urbane rushing towards Beta, and when she got up, this little white face had some ability, but it was certainly not the opponent of Urban's waste.
But the result surprised her, as soon as there was a strange bang, a transparent air bomb condensed in front of the little white face named Cook, and directly hit Urban's body, knocking the latter out.
Beta kept his hand and attacked with the lowest level of air pressure bombs, so it looked quite loud, but in fact, Urban's injuries were not serious.
Ebben, who was bounced out, got up from the ground, half-kneeled, and looked at Beta with an incredulous gaze: "Cook, do you know what you're doing?" She's the eldest lady. ”
Beta walked over and looked at Urban, "Of course I do. Urban, it's your business that you can't stand up after kneeling for a long time, but don't try to pull me to kneel, it's boring. ”
At this time, the other teammates on the third floor heard the movement of the fight and ran out, and when they heard Beta's words, everyone thought he was unusually handsome.
Heidi glanced approvingly at Beta, then went over and picked up Lux and led her downstairs.
The other two women, Urban, were also sent down by other teammates.
Nadette was in the banquet hall with several noble groups, chatting and laughing. Heidi walked up to him, whispered a few words, his face changed, he confessed to the others, and then went to his daughter's bedroom with Heidi.
At first, he thought his daughter had suffered multiple injuries, but when he went inside, he found Lux in front of the mirror, combing her hair with a comb that looked like an exploding head.
Next to her, there were also two aristocratic women with similar hairstyles.
Nadette burst out laughing.
When Lux heard the laughter, she turned her head and cried, "Father, you see, that Cook is too arrogant, he dares to make a move on me, you should arrest him quickly." ”
"It's a loss. Let's kick down the iron plate. Nadette was overjoyed: "You look down on men your age." Think everyone will flatter you? ”
Looking at her gloating father, Lux was about to go crazy with anger, and she said angrily: "Father, you are actually facing that little white face? ”
"The little white face dares to attack you? Can the little white face beat Urban? ”
Lux was speechless for a moment.
"You can rest well, you are not injured anyway."
Nadette smiled almost all the way back to his study.
Heidi followed him, a little puzzled when he saw this: "You are not angry, Cook didn't give you face." ”
"He's already given me a lot of face." Nadette smiled: "I naturally know how bad my daughter's personality is, and besides, she has drunk some wine, so she must have spoken and acted excessively. But even so, Cook only made her suffer a small loss, and if it weren't for my face, Lux would have been seriously injured if she didn't die. Doesn't this give me face? On the contrary, as soon as this incident came out, I still owed him a favor. ”
Heidi shook her head helplessly: "My daughter was bullied, and I am happy to be a father, you are the only one I have ever seen." ”
Nadette laughed: "I am reluctant to beat and scold my daughter, but this does not mean that other people will embarrass me if they help me educate her, but I still can't ask for it." Lux was surrounded by men who flattered her, which made her now unsightly. It's a good thing that someone can suppress her and take care of her. Now, I feel more and more that Cook might be a good son-in-law. ”
Heidi smiled: "Then you are going to match the two of them?" ”
"Don't worry, wait four days, the scouts will come back from Lago."
Not many people knew about this little episode in the banquet, and those who knew did not dare to spread it indiscriminately because of Nadette's status.
Beta continued to rest as if nothing happened, occasionally doing scrolls and magic experiments.
Four days passed quickly, and Lux restrained a lot, and although Beta also had a hateful expression, he no longer dared to curse.
In his study, Nadette sighed after reading the information from Lago, and then handed it to Arnold, who was sitting next to him.
After Arnold also read it, he frowned: "This kid has had such a tragic thing before, and he can't see it from his personality at all." has a calm and soft personality, has a bottom line, and has responsibility, not at all like a person who is full of blood feuds and crawls out of hell as an avenger.
"This shows that his tenacity is valuable." Nadette sighed, "When I was his age, I didn't even have half of his abilities. ”
"Do you think he's credible?"
Nadette smiled: "You can be trusted, when we kill the two bishops of Ellen City and Maang City, we will recommend him to the Sanctuary, such a young man needs to prove himself on a bigger battlefield." ”
Arnold nodded and said, "Cook told me that he came to you, as long as it was to be able to ascend, and you recommended him to go to the Sanctuary, I think he would be very happy." But if you recommend him to the Sanctuary, then it will be difficult for him and Lux to do it. ”
"It depends on fate," Nadette laughed, "To be honest, I think it would be a bad thing for a promising and capable young man like Cook to marry my daughter." It's true that Lux doesn't deserve him. ”
