606 Charity Reception 1
"Okay, I know, I'll definitely participate then." Gordon Han said.
He was not interested in such philanthropy per se, nor was it something he sought after to be prestigious and a good name that everyone praised. If it weren't for the fact that almost all of the big businessmen in Freiris City would participate in this charity auction, Gordon would not have agreed to attend at all, but quietly donated a sum of money to the Urban Redevelopment Committee.
Because of the matter of the Death One Zhi Sect, Gordon's trip to Changxia has not been settled at all. During this time, Durro was running around, and he only managed to get the main metal materials needed to make the puppet dragon - this was only bought by Gordon after saving a few dwarven merchants on Requiem Blessing Day.
After the Requiem Blessing Day, the whole city is in a state of semi-martial law, and business activities are withering, where do you have the heart to do business?
Fortunately, after unremitting efforts, especially under the planning and auspices of Gordon, Ben . After the arrest of Anissa, the entire city of Fryjus finally began to gradually recover. The news that cultists have been arrested one after another has also gradually restored people's confidence. This charity auction can be said to be a milestone for the whole city to come out of the trauma of Requiem Blessing Day and gradually enter the right track.
Since most of the upper-class people in Fryjus City would attend the charity auction, and the hearts of the people were gradually settled, Gordon felt that the opportunity was rare, and he planned to take this opportunity to get everything he cared about to be done. He wants to sell his goods and make a name for himself in the city of Freiris and the entire province of Changxia. Other than that. It's a good idea to find a building materials merchant and buy all the stone you need to build the Mage's Tower.
Of course. It would be great if you could still buy one or two things that would be useful to you at auction.
But Gordon also knew. Because all the proceeds from this charity auction are used for urban reconstruction and the resettlement of disaster victims, there will be no high-end magical equipment such as legendary swords and ice crystal armor, and most of them will be some works of art, jewelry sculptures, first drafts of famous artists, etc. So he won't have much hope.
Seeing Gordon agree, Miss Ji'er was also very happy, and her shining eyes smiled into a pair of crescents: "Great, I thought you, the guy who stayed in the room all day and tinkered with magic, would refuse to do so." ”
"Hey. Miss, I buried my head in the real yàn room all day long for you, trying to improve my strength to cope with the upcoming Huiyang Festival. Please don't call me a reclusive otaku mage with sociaticism. ”
"For me?" Ji'er looked directly at Gordon, a ripple in her burgundy eyes.
"The city of Freiris is not my domain, and the people here are neither my people nor my vassals. Why do you think I'm working so hard to deal with the Death Cult? Gordon said unashamedly.
Coaxing girls, it is to be half-truths and half-truths, and sometimes it is harmless to do a little exaggerated treatment.
"You...... You bastard...... No matter how nice it sounds. It didn't work either! "Miss Ji'er, who is still inexperienced, obviously can't see through the disguise mask of this shameless man. She felt her heart pounding violently, her cheeks feverish, and even a little incoherent.
"Don't forget, you...... You're a man with a fiancée now. How can you coax a girl with sweet words casually! ”
"Well, in that case, in order to show my fidelity to marriage. In the future, it's better to deal less with the eldest lady. After all, after getting along with a beautiful girl like you for a long time, Vigna will definitely be jealous. ”
"No! With the virtue of you scoundrel. Even if I didn't have it, I would have cheated on other girls. I have to be around you to supervise it. Ji'er hurriedly said.
"As you wish." Gordon sighed. In fact, he smiled in his heart.
This simple and awkward eldest lady is really cute.
After a moment of silence, Ji'er suddenly squirmed and said, "Remember, on the day of the charity auction, I will wear black, you...... Did you know? ”
Fortunately, Gordon's brain is quite smart, and he is not a reckless man who doesn't understand women's hearts, so he immediately understood the meaning hidden in the words of this dishonest eldest lady.
She, the eldest lady of the Phoenix family, is now the temporary helmsman of the entire family, and when she attends such a formal banquet in high society, she must have a male companion by her side. Gordon, on the other hand, was honored to be chosen by the eldest lady as the male companion of the night's cocktail party, so she told Sù Gordon what clothes she was wearing and asked him to match them.
"I must have taken it to heart. Was I the one who came to pick you up that night? ”
Seeing that Gordon was so clever, Ji'er was also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "No, you are a guest of our family, and you will naturally send a car when the time comes." ”
After agreeing, the eldest lady finally left satisfied. And Gordon also began to make arrangements. His goal wasn't just to go to the auction and buy two worthless works of art, and then waste the whole night with the aristocrats talking empty and boring. If he wants to sell his goods, he naturally has to plan carefully.
"Don't let Douro run around the city for the next few days to help me procure materials. Well, and the church of Liarya in Fryjus, too, we need to pay a visit and see if we can ask them to help......"
…………
When the carriage painted with the Phoenix family crest arrives at Onyx Mask, the largest and most luxurious inn in the city, the other carriages around it get out of the way. The vivid and vivid phoenix pattern on the black lacquered body is a symbol of absolute power in the city of Flaires.
Although the head of the Phoenix family is now Ambrom. Phoenix was in seclusion, but his only daughter temporarily took over the position of head of the family, coupled with the Death One Zhi Sect, which made this old nobleman who had run the Changxia Province for hundreds of years look shaky, but still no one dared to underestimate the fiery energy that this phoenix could emit.
Anyone who is hostile to the Phoenix family must be careful to be burned to the ground by the flames.
When Gordon opened the car door and walked down first, there was immediately a buzzing whisper around him. He didn't care, just glanced up at the sky.
The glorious sunset is like a strong fiery red paint, painting the evening sky magnificently. Even the sparkling sea of steam is also dyed golden, and such a beautiful scenery can't help but make people want to sigh: the sunset is infinitely better.
Although he always regarded himself as a pragmatist, thinking about the gains and losses all day long, Gordon couldn't help but feel that even if he wanted this piece of beauty to continue to be preserved, he would have to completely eradicate the Death One Zhi Sect at any cost.
Well, the time to express his feelings is over, and the mage knows he has more important things to do.
He walked to the other side of the carriage, opened the door, and then reached out and helped Miss Ji'er, who was riding with him, out of the carriage.
The whispers around were louder.
Gordon, an outsider, is also well-known in Freiris City. Not only because of the strong partnership between the Freeman and Phoenix families, but also because of the important role he played in many of the actions of the Cult of the Dead One. And now, when the others found out that Gordon had arrived in a carriage with the eldest lady of the Phoenix family, all kinds of discussions erupted in the crowd like the most violent zombie virus.
Ji'er didn't seem to be affected by the probing eyes and whispers around her. She was full of smiles, with a lovely blush on her pretty face, and her whole eyebrows and eyes showed a flying look, which was extremely smart.
It can be seen that she is in a good mood.
Because Gordon not only fulfilled his promise to be her male partner, but also was very interested in not bringing other girls with him. Ji'er originally thought that this villain, who was always messing with girls everywhere, would either bring his fiancée or his sister tonight, or invite the Miss Paladin to come with him, and add himself to enjoy the fun surrounded by beauty.
Of course, Gordon would not tell Sù Gille that Vigna had been getting more and more lethargic lately, and that it was impossible for her to participate in such an evening activity; Xie Ona is now hurrying to practice a new combat style based on those eighteen glass rock swords; And Renus, she was even more busy with the affairs of the Death One Zhi Sect.
Even if he wanted to bring a few girls who had something to do with him, it would be impossible. Besides, if you call a few girls together, I'm afraid that not only will you not be able to enjoy the pleasure of the harem hugging left and right, but you will also have to suffer in the open and secret battles between women. Such a stupid thing, Gordon would not do it.
"Well, my clothes are beautiful, aren't they?" Ji'er asked.
Although this is the third time that the eldest lady has asked the same thing since getting into the carriage at the Red Maple Manor, Gordon did not show the slightest impatience, but said with a sincere face: "Of course, my eldest lady must be the most charming star of the cocktail party tonight. ”
Unlike the evening dress that most women choose when attending the cocktail party, Ji'er is wearing a more neutral black hunting suit today, and the whole person looks capable and free, with a different temperament. However, the red tassels and gold ornaments on the hunting outfit make this outfit look no less off-all, perfect for this formal occasion. Gordon knew that Ji'er was a great admirer of her aunt, Lady Veronka, and that the outfit was modified from the Admiral's dress.
But then again, after serving as the leader of the Phoenix family for a period of time, this eldest lady is indeed a lot more mature and capable, and her youthful temperament has become less and less.
However, when facing Gordon, she was still as awkward and shy as ever. (To be continued......)
