Chapter 222: The Dinner Party
For the fact that Shan Lide will hold a banquet, Rhodes doesn't think it's strange, after all, when such a thing happens, those merchants in Highland City must need to be appeased, maybe Shanlide doesn't need to rely on these unpopular businessmen to improve his wealth, but even for the purpose of showing everyone that he has control over Highland City, these merchants also need to be appeased, otherwise it will definitely be a big blow to Shanlide's status.
But Shan Lide's next words made Rhodes feel interesting.
In fact, the Selun Chamber of Commerce really exists, after Rod went back and asked Qilian to organize an intelligence network, in order to "waste utilization", he simply asked the Qilian faction to set up a small chamber of commerce in the country of light, called the Seren Chamber of Commerce, which is not large, that is, transporting some daily necessities and food, which is very low-key. All the personnel are basically locals, and except for the Seven Lovers who deliberately let out the wind to let them know that there is a very beautiful eldest lady merchant in their chamber of commerce, basically no one has ever seen Rod's face. Of course, this is also for the sake of convenience, and privately, the Salem Chamber of Commerce is responsible for collecting and relaying all the information from the Land of Light, and then passing it on to Seven Love, who will then screen it and hand it over to Rod. So Rhodes is actually not afraid of people going to the Chaseren Chamber of Commerce, because this really exists. Now that the Highland City is full of merchants from all over the country of light, it's not surprising that if you happen to meet someone who has done business with the Salem Chamber of Commerce, you won't want to come and say hello to you.
But the problem is that ......... "Miranda" himself has no friends.
So what does this message mean?
Could it be that his true identity has been found out? Planning to come hard? If that's the case, then Shan Lide is really pumping his brain.
But no matter what, Rhodes will not break the appointment.
Because for him, any conspiracy and conspiracy is meaningless.
Soon, night fell.
Inside the Eranic Manor. The lights were brilliant, and the bright and dazzling torches were raised high, illuminating every corner of the manor, and everywhere you could see the carriages coming in and out, all around which had already been cleared, and the main roads were guarded by heavily armed guards. Vigilantly watching, the carriages drove by and entered the manor, and then the merchants stepped out of the carriages, laughed loudly and entered the luxuriously decorated interior of the manor, enjoying the unique cuisine here, and the sound of music echoed in the night, bringing a bit of dreamlike color.
It is also a rare opportunity for businessmen to relax. After all, the events of the past few days have had a great impact on them, after all, they are only businessmen, not soldiers or mercenaries, and they are in a foreign country, if something really happens, it will be troublesome. So these businessmen are also very nervous, and now that the murderer has been arrested, they can finally relax and drink. Let's talk about the latest business trends. By the way, pat the Elonyk family's sycophants and contact their peers from all over the world to see if there is a chance to work together in the future. Overall, the atmosphere was very warm.
While everyone was talking and laughing, a dark carriage drove up and stopped at the gate of the manor. And see this carriage. Many people around couldn't help but turn their heads to see who was coming, but when they saw the figure inside the car door, many people stopped what they were doing.
The doors open.
Angelinte, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, jumped out of the car gracefully and lightly, as elegant and charming as an elf in the night. The long fluffy and silky golden hair kept swaying with the girl's movements, exuding a faint glow in the light of the fire, and the slender calves wrapped in white stockings and black leather boots also looked particularly eye-catching at this time. In fact, the moment they saw this beautiful petite elf, the eyes of many men present straightened. Although on the surface, Angelinte is only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, and her figure is only beginning to develop. But between her eyebrows and eyebrows, there is a special kind of charm and charm that only mature women have, this delicate charm and the girl's immature and youthful appearance are perfectly integrated, bringing an unforgettable beauty of contrast, and even at the moment of seeing this girl, whether it is a man or a woman, many people want to immediately pull her into their arms, like destroying the most exquisite works of art on her body to vent their desires, especially when they think that the other party is just a child, The thrill of this inverted taboo is more like a drug.
A bunch of ugly and lowly creatures, that's all.
Angelinte, who got out of the carriage, naturally noticed the gaze of everyone around her, she glanced around the people in front of her, smiled softly in her heart, and then she turned around respectfully and stretched out her hand.
Then, an arm emerged from the carriage and took Angelinte's hand, and then a slender figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Hiss ..............."
Seeing this scene, many people instinctively gasped, if they were fascinated when they saw Angelin before, then the appearance of this young lady in front of them almost instantly made them feel that the world world around them seemed to instantly exude an unprecedented bright light, she was the world world itself.
Even Angeline looked up triumphantly and looked at her master.
Rod's dress is not luxurious, it can even be said to be a little plain, a pitch-black long-sleeved skirt and a fur shawl are his outfit, but this simple dress does not reduce the degree of attention he attracts, on the contrary, it sets off a noble, beautiful, unconventional elegance. If Angelinte is a charming goblin, then the "Miranda" in front of her is the princess of the night, noble, elegant, isolated, and full of a sense of presence that is looked up to. For a moment, even the sound of music echoing inside the manor became much quieter, as if nothing in this world dared to compare with the existence in front of him.
"Here you are, Miss Miranda."
At this time, Shan Lide also strode over with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and warmly shook Rod's right hand.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, it's a perfect outfit for you, Miss Miranda, you're the brightest star of the party."
"You've won the prize, Mr. Shanlide."
Hearing Shan Lide's words, an elegant and bright smile appeared on Rod's face, which made Shan Lide stunned, and Rod took the opportunity to withdraw his right hand from the other party's hand.
"Mr. Shan Lide is, I didn't expect you to be able to catch the prisoners who made trouble in the city in such a short period of time, which also reassured us businessmen who came here, I really didn't expect that Mr. Shan Lide actually had such an influence in Highland City, it really opened my eyes."
"Hahaha, Miss Miranda has won the prize."
Hearing Rod's words, Shan Lide narrowed his eyes happily and laughed loudly.
"Everyone is a businessman, and as a member of the Elonic family, I naturally have to ensure the safety of my peers, and there is some chaos in Highland City right now, but it's just a group of clowns trying to jump up and down. Hum! Rest assured, Miss Miranda, these guys won't make a fuss. With the strength of our Aranic family, even if the lord of the Void Lord comes, we won't care about it! ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, a bit of weird brilliance flashed in Rod's eyes, and then he laughed softly.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Mr. Shanlide."
"Leave it to me, Miss Miranda, and I assure you that no one can hurt you."
While speaking, Shan Lide saluted Rod again and respectfully welcomed him in. Angelinte, on the other hand, followed Rhodes' side, looking curiously at the master in front of her.
Is he really a man?
This question had been hidden in Angelinte's mind for some time. Although when they first met, Rhodes wore a men's aristocratic uniform, Angeline didn't think he looked like a man at that time, but since everyone said so, Angelint couldn't say anything more. But since following Rhodes here, Angelinte's doubts have deepened day by day, looking at Rhodes's actions at this moment, she is like a pure noble lady, not mentioning the issue of etiquette, just that kind of momentum and demeanor, even among the night nobles, she can be regarded as the best. In addition, Rod deliberately lowered his voice, which made his already not "rich" voice more and more delicate, so even Angelint couldn't help but be a little puzzled at this time.
Of course, Angeline didn't show a questioning expression, but then again, if she really dared to question this, then Rhodes might let Angeline personally experience her "mighty and majestic" as a man, and of course, then Angelinte's "mission" would naturally be successfully completed.
"By the way, Mr. Shanlide, I heard that my friend is here?"
Quietly glancing at the crowd around him, Rod asked curiously. He originally thought that this might be a trap, but now it seems that Shanlide is not ambushing anyone here, and even those black elves can't see it, which makes Rod a little puzzled, is there really a friend of his own who has come to look for him? But where does "Miranda" have any friends?
"Ah, yes, Miss Miranda. That young lady had just arrived in Highland this morning, and when she came to visit me, she overheard about you, and she was very excited to learn that you were here, and had been looking forward to meeting you. ”
Saying this, Shan Lide made a gesture to the servants beside him.
"Please come out of that young lady."
Hearing Shanlide's order, the servant immediately turned to leave, and it didn't take long for Rod to hear the sound of hurried footsteps, and then, a girl wearing a long blue dress and long bright red hair ran over so excitedly, and after seeing Rode, her face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Long time no see, Miss Seren!" (To be continued......)
