"May I ask who you are?" Soma asked cautiously.

"Pache Valley." The girl who got out of the carriage smiled and said, "Patchouli. Boulder. My father was Hatch. Boulder, I believe you should know. ”

Boulder!

The expression on Soma's face was obviously slightly stiff, although he had imagined the many identities of this girl, but he did not expect that she was really a member of the Boulder family, or a member of the line.

If it was in private, then Soma might still have the confidence to ask the other party what he was doing at Hastings Manor. But now, Hasteen Manor is indeed holding a banquet, and it is not a private banquet, so many wealthy merchants in Loomin City have received invitations, which is actually a semi-public social banquet, and Hasting Manor will hold it almost once a month.

So if you want to use the excuse of a private banquet to get rid of Pachouli, it is obviously impossible.

It will even escalate the incident to a blatant provocation and insult to the Boulder family by the Hastings because it was a public occasion. If this is the case, then even the Nugus family will never be able to keep the Hasteen family, even if the entire Hasteen family does not decline because of this, it is very possible to lose their vitality and even reduce their power.

Sweat was already falling from Soma's face.

Before Soma could take the initiative, Pache had already walked into the gate of the manor, and said, "The guards of your manor really don't have any eyesight, and if you treat foreign guests, it is not the quality that an earl family should have." ”

"You're right." Soma had to answer, "I'm going to teach them a lesson." ”

"By the way, I heard that I need an invitation to attend the banquet this time, but I heard that there was a lot of excitement here, so I came here to participate. It shouldn't break the rules, right? Pachouli smiled slightly, but in a blink of an eye, she directly diverted the topic, otherwise Soma would continue to take the initiative along the topic.

"How so?" Soma's face stiffened, but she still squeezed out a smile, "It's really an honor for the Hasteen family to have Miss Pache involved. ”

"That's good." Pache immediately laughed, "Since Baron Soma doesn't think my presence is a disturbance, then I'm not welcome." ”

"Of course." Soma nodded, "Then I'll immediately arrange for someone to accompany you to visit the Hastings Manor......"

Hearing Soma say this, Sean shook his head slightly. Soma has been completely led away by the other party's man named Patchouli. In his impression, Soma did not look like a person who would be controlled by the other party, and a person like him who could manage a territory should be very strong in diplomatic rhetoric, but now he was completely inferior in the conversation with Pacouli, so there was only one explanation.

That is, Soma is very ingrained in the concept of class. Coming from the Hastings family, he lacks enough innate advantages in this regard, and Patchouli is clearly a very good man of words. Therefore, Soma will be completely suppressed in communication. People like Pache Rich. The best solution is not to let the other person speak first, and it is impossible to follow the other party's speaking and thinking, otherwise you will be completely led by the nose.

But unfortunately, Patchouli is also a very smart person, and all the words she said were directed at the core of the Hasteen family's honor, forcing Soma to answer. At this time, if you want Soma to regain the initiative. Then there must be a third party to intervene to break the current deadlock between Patchouli and Soma, but now the identities of the two are the daughter of the Duke's family, and the other is the owner of Hastings Manor. Apparently, none of the people present were high enough to join the third person in the conversation between the two men.

What a terrible woman.

Sean's heart quietly made a conclusion to Pache Li.

However, the only thing that makes him happy is that the Boulder family will defect to the Duchy of Lane in the war between the Kingdom of Dabion and the Duchy of Ryan in the future, so there is no need to worry that he and this woman will become enemies, Sean does not believe that a woman with such sharp words will be inferior to others in other aspects, and this woman can be regarded as outstanding in both appearance and temperament, with so many advantages, as long as she is willing, her strength expansion will definitely reach a very terrifying level.

But in addition to the things that made Sean happy, there was another thing that made him a little curious. Because Sean remembers very well that at that time, because of the relationship between the family territory in the game, he had a lot of dealings with the Boulder family, but in his impression, there was absolutely no woman named Pache among the outstanding talents of the Boulder family!

But now, there is such a woman, which makes Sean's brows furrow slightly.

"You're Viscount Fran." Just as Sean was still thinking about who this woman was, Pache had already come to Sean's side and asked bluntly.

"Yes." Sean nodded, he didn't have much malice and hostility towards this woman.

"My name is Pache Richly, Patchouli. Boulder. Patchouli opened her mouth again to introduce herself.

"I know, you've already said that." Sean smiled, and then he glanced at Soma, the meaning of the inquiry in his eyes obvious.

"Miss Patchoulie, too, is here for that mysterious drawing." Soma had already opened his mouth to explain the reason for Pachouli's arrival at this time, and Sean was also keenly aware that there was a helplessness and hatred in Soma's eyes, "There are already many people waiting in the conference room, let's go over now." ”

Sean glanced at Pache in some surprise, he didn't expect that at the moment when he was slightly distracted just now, this Pache had already talked to Soma about the purpose of his arrival, and Soma had no way to refuse Pache to participate. In this way, Sean also knows how the hatred and helplessness in Soma's eyes came about, and it is obvious that Pache will make this battle around the mysterious drawings even more unknown.

After that, Soma no longer planned to pay attention to Patchouli, and began to lead the way in front of herself.

Sean turned to follow, but it was Pache who reached out and grabbed the sleeve, which made Shawn turn his head and look at Pache with a puzzled look. However, in the process, neither of them stopped because of this. It was just a slight distance between him and Soma, and Sean, who was as smart as Sean, immediately realized that Patchouli probably had something to say to him, so he also cooperated and slowed down.

The two walked in silence, neither of them spoke, and Anno and Alfred, Christina, and Pache were further behind. The group obviously had the same purpose, but it was strangely divided into three sections, which made the surrounding atmosphere seem to become a little quiet and depressing.

"As a gentleman, shouldn't you be more proactive?" In the end, it was Pache who broke the silence, "Let a girl take the initiative." That's not what a gentleman should do. ”

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm really not a gentleman." Sean smiled and spoke casually, not at all following Patchouli's words.

This unexpected answer. Patchouli was also slightly stunned, she obviously didn't expect Sean to answer like this. But. The expression on her face was only slightly stunned. Soon it was back to that grinning look.

"What an interesting answer." Pache smiled, "Do you know who killed those guards hired by Baron Yeros?" ”

"I don't know what to do." Sean shook his head.

"I killed it." Pache smiled lightly.

Pache was stunned for a moment by this answer, and he thought that Patchouli would say that the Hastings did it, or that someone else wanted to frame him. In any case, he didn't expect Pache to be so open to saying that she had killed those people. And it seemed like she was obviously not embarrassed at all.

Originally, Sean thought that he should be very angry, but this incident actually did not cause him any trouble and bad effects, and it can even be said that it helped him in some ways. And I don't know what Lu Dao is for, looking at Patchouli who confesses her crimes very calmly. Sean didn't have any thoughts of hating her or wanting to kill her, which really made Sean feel a little strange.

In other words, Patchouli has a very subtle and unique personality charm.

Glancing at Sean and looking at Sean's calm appearance, Patchouli spoke again, but this time there was obviously a little loss in her tone: "I thought you would be very angry, it's really boring." Hearing Pachoulie's words, Sean had a crying and laughing expression, and it was a reason for her to feel bored that she didn't get angry with this guy.

However, Patchouli seemed to just say it casually, and didn't expect Sean to answer at all, so she still said to herself: "To be honest, I originally wanted to cause you a little trouble, and I wanted to use you to attract the attention of the Hasteen family and snatch that drawing." But to my surprise, your approach was not only swift, but also incredibly accurate......" At this point, Pache suddenly added, "Actually, you are a scholar. ”

"What?" Sean was stunned for a moment, a little unaccustomed to Patchouli's leapfrog thinking, so much so that he didn't even notice that Patchouli was using affirmative sentences instead of interrogative sentences.

"I was really just skeptical at first." Patchouli shrugged her shoulders, "I even thought about seeing if I could assassinate you......" Hearing this, Sean felt a little crying and laughing again, this Pache seemed to be a madman in front of him, but Pache didn't notice Sean's expression, she still continued to talk, and there was a state of self-forgetfulness: "But later, when I saw that you and Yeles got along so well, I could be sure that you must be a scholar." ”

It's not so much that Pachouli is talking to herself, but that she is expounding the logic of her own thinking.

Sean already knew that Patchouli was sharp in words, but he didn't expect her brain to be so useful, the logical analysis was very clear and unambiguous, and it was obviously a very complex problem, but when it came out of her mouth, she would find that everything was very simple. And this time, Sean finally realized that from beginning to end, Pache said affirmatively, not interrogatively, which means that she already has the answer.

Sean thought for a moment, and there was nothing to deny about the identity of the scholar, so he nodded and admitted: "Yes." …… But I'm curious why you're seeing me in contact with the Marquis of Yeles......"

When he said this, Sean suddenly paused, and a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, oh. Looks like you've found out. Patchouli smiled, "Yes, I'm a scholar too." ”

There was obvious surprise in Sean's eyes.

He knew very well that in addition to the fact that his arrival was a coincidence, both Yeles and the Patchouli in front of him were coming for the mysterious drawing. But it stands to reason that if the Temple of Wisdom was interested in this drawing, it would have sent only one member of the group, in other words, that is, Jeles and Pache should be companions.

But the current situation is completely different from what Sean knows.

Pache came alone. And looking at Christina's appearance, it is obvious that she does not know Pache either, so from this point of view, it can be concluded that Pache and Yeles should not be in the same group. And judging by the way the Temple of Wisdom behaves, it is unlikely that a second scholar will be sent after sending one. Unless Jeles had appealed to the Temple of Wisdom, the Temple of Wisdom, which had always advocated the principle that "waste is shameful," would never have sent another scholar.

In other words. That's Pache and Jelles. They represent the two forces behind the temple of wisdom.

And there will be such competition, and it is not difficult for Sean to imagine the result.

Halson Institute.

Only the Haytham Institute is divided into factions because of differences in research projects, opinions, opinions, etc. It is precisely because of this that it is possible for two people from the same organization to be interested in the same thing. Coupled with the sharpness and undisguised madness that Patchoulie clearly showed along the way, Sean was 100% sure that Patchouli and Yeles were both academics from the Haytham Institute. And the two are definitely not from the same faction.

"Halson Institute." Sean glanced at Pache and suddenly spoke, "You and the Marquis of Yeles are competitors. ”

"Oh?" Patchouli looked at Sean in some surprise, "I didn't expect you to even understand this." It seems that you are also from the Haytham Institute? But no, why haven't I seen you on the Hairson Institute's personnel record list? …… Someone who can be favored by the circle interpreter can't be unknown in the Hairtham Institute. ”

"Circle Parser?" Sean was stunned for a moment, "You mean...... Is Jelles a circle solver? ”

"yes, you don't know what to do?" Patchouli was really stunned this time, "What, it turns out that that guy Yeles didn't tell you anything?" But if he doesn't tell you anything, how can you possibly know about the Haytham Institute? According to the rules, if you didn't join the Haytham Institute, you wouldn't know about this. ”

"Because I turned down an invitation from the Hyersam Institute." Sean didn't react a little, and subconsciously replied.

"What?" Patchouli was stunned again, and then burst into a burst of laughter, not at all ladylike.

At this moment, it immediately attracted the attention of the two groups of people before and after. It's just that at this time, no one came up to ask, everyone glanced at it, and it was as if they didn't see anything, only Sean was awakened by this sudden laughter.

"What's so funny."

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Pache laughed a little breathlessly, "I've heard of people at the Haytham Institute turning down an invitation from the Regenerator Lineage, and this was a joke at the Hatchar Institute. I didn't expect it to be you, yes, I'm starting to like you. …… There aren't many things or opportunities that can make the regenerator deflated. ”

Sean looked at Patchouli with some confusion.

He knew that because of the many factions in the Haytham Institute, there are many factions within the Institute, among which there are completely opposing factions, and there may be only factions with different views but the possibility of cooperation. The so-called regenerator lineage refers to the faction of Bonny and Yelles, whose theoretical views are the recycling and regeneration of energy, so the people of this faction in the Haytham Institute are called regenerators.

Of course, Pache didn't know that it was because Sean, the regenerator, was able to make rapid progress in the research project of magical power.

"And which faction do you belong to?" Sean asked rhetorically.

"Comfortable." Patchouli smiled, "Do you know what is the free style?" ”

"Zhilu Dao." Sean sighed.

The Freedom Style is a faction formed according to the magic of the Chainas Empire, and although its views are very close to those of the Regeneration, in fact the two sides are absolute opposites who do not get along with each other. To put it simply, although the regenerator advocates the recycling and regeneration of energy, it is actually mainly based on magic and divine power; However, the free faction advocates the method of spiritual power and bloodline ability, and they reject all ways of using magic and divine power, believing that this is a kind of pollution of the worldly realm.

In essence, the free style is an extreme admiration for bloodline, and it can be regarded as a reformist, so it belongs to a relatively strong faction in the Haytham Institute. Of course, this faction has also created many extremely powerful "spells", so many magicians have maintained extremely close contact and communication with this faction, and it can be regarded as one of the three most powerful factions in the Haytham Institute.

"I didn't expect it, you know a lot." Pache smiled, "So do you know the nickname 'Freedom Maker'?" ”

Freedom Maker!

Sean looked at Pache with a shocked expression: "Don't tell me, you're the creator of freedom." ”

"Congratulations, you got it right." Pache smiled, "But there's no reward." ”

Sean now finally knows why he hasn't heard of Pache in the Boulder family. Boulder's name, because the ship didn't operate in the Boulder family area at all, and even the Boulder family barely went back. And when it comes to the name of this product, there are certainly not many people in the game who know the way, but if the name "freedom creator" is mentioned, then there will definitely not be too many players in the game who want to know the nickname of the road - or in other words, anyone who is a sorcerer will never be unaware of the nickname and the meaning behind it!

Because, more than 70% of the spells and almost all the spells are created by the creators of the free style!

"Freedom Builder and Circle Interpreter......"

Sean was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the nicknames of Patchoulie and Yeles at the Haytham Institute, and immediately remembered a gossip that had been circulating in the late game.

Now it looks like this grapevine shouldn't be fake.

If all this is true......

"I kind of know what that mysterious drawing is." Sean muttered to himself, "This...... This is a generational invention. (To be continued......)
