76. Banquet

Zach pulled me into his circle of friends in the imperial capital in an extremely ostentatious way.

These young nobles enjoy a good life in the imperial capital and also look forward to gaining family recognition. They are not really dandy boys. At least they can carry knight spears, wear magic patterned armor, ride war horses, and have the courage to go to the battlefield to fight. If it weren't for this plane war, they would be willing to go to some undeveloped planes and lead a team of knights to explore territory there. According to the "433 Convention" of the Green Empire, they can obtain a portion of their own territory.

In the imperial capital, many young nobles would plan their lives in this way.

However, since the plane war broke out, many rich planes have frequently appeared in the Dark Force of the Abyss Prison, which has led to these young pioneers not daring to go to a certain plane to fight easily. Many people gathered in the imperial capital in vain. The main reason is that the structure knights they owned were borrowed from their families. Once they were defeated, they could not afford it, so they would rather wait for an opportunity in the imperial capital than rashly get involved in a certain plane war.

At present, Angela's multi-plane battle is a good opportunity. Even though many young nobles knew that they could only eat dirt after the third batch of reinforcements of the Knights, many people were still willing to come over. The war preparation supplies in the imperial capital were actually not so tight. Only magic herbs and other supplies were the most in short supply. The young nobles purchased a batch of magic herbs and some military supplies from me through Zach, and I was officially joining the aristocratic circle.

As the plane war intensified among the major lords of the Green Empire, the war continued until now. The magic merchants who could still stock up on magic herbs at this time had a certain background. Behind them were the Grand Lord or a Duke, and behind me was Prince James, the royal family of Angel Boulder.

At the Harvest Festival, I was summoned by His Majesty Charles, which was officially recognized by the Angel Boulder royal family, so I had the label of royal background.

Invitations like snowflakes were handed over, and basically some little lords invited me to attend some private dance parties. I was not familiar with these lords and nobles. Even if these invitations were to be politely declined, the butler would need to submit a reply. I decided to ask Alia, who is good at handling these things, to help.

At the Alia Manor in the third block, servants were moving boxes of golden cider from the magic caravan and transporting them to the storage room in the basement of the manor.

Betty said that Demi and Mrs. Jenny went to the department store on the Fifth Block Commercial Street and were preparing to listen to an opera in the Opera House in the evening. I took advantage of the time when the academy had no magic class in the afternoon.

During the days when Mrs. Jenny was in the imperial capital, in order to avoid embarrassment, I rarely came to Alia's side. I occasionally met with me if I needed it, and probably would make an appointment to meet at the warehouse opposite the manor.

Alia curled up on the bed like a lazy cat, her white, round and smooth arms stretched out her outside the quilt and pulled the bell rope beside the bed.

The blonde hair spread out on the pillowcase, looking a little messy, and her soft eyes moved from the painted vaulted ceiling to me. She turned sideways and looked at me with her arms, holding her chin and laughing intently. I wanted to ask her what she was laughing at. The bedroom door was pushed open from outside, and Betty stood at the door and asked what Alia needed.

Alia said to Betty: "Just sweating just now and don't want to take a shower. Betty, please help me wipe my body."

"Yes, Master." Betty agreed, then walked into the bedroom from the outside and closed the door.

Alia's bedroom has a separate bathroom and dressing room. When Betty saw her cheeks flushed, she walked into the bathroom. At this moment, I was lying beside Alia and my heart was extremely messy. Until now, I could not enjoy the luxurious life of the Green nobles calmly.

I pushed Alia by the pillow, she turned her head and looked at me with a smile, and said to me, "Do you know why Jenny wants to come to the imperial capital at this time?"

I was stunned by Alia's question, and I thought to myself: What can this personal question about Mrs. Jenny have to do with me?

"After Harvest Festival, the hotel business in El City was in slump. Mrs. Jenny wanted to give herself a vacation?" I said casually, reaching out to grab the magic robe on the round chair beside me.

Alia put her hands on my arm and smiled and said to me: "The answer is wrong! It's Mrs. Fanny who wants to see her. She was so scared that she bought an airship ticket overnight and rushed to the imperial capital overnight."

I stopped my hand and asked her in surprise: "Fannie wants to see her? Why?"

The sun shines in from outside the glass window on the west side of the bedroom, and the light column passes through the bed curtain and prints light spots on the corn-colored wall.

Alia stretched out her arm and reached into the beam of light. Her slender fingers left a swan-like hand shadow on the dark golden-patterned wall. The smile on her face looked like a fox, and her warm lips touched my ears and said softly: "It was probably because Fanny knew that she became Ryante's lover, so Fanny wanted to talk to her in person..."

"My God! How could Ryante know Mrs. Jenny?" I shouted out the first half of this sentence, then quickly covered my mouth with my hands, tried to control the volume, and asked Alia. I felt like I had become a little nervous.

I originally thought that Ryante would probably live happily like this after he had the second spring, but I didn't expect that he would have the third spring.

Although this kind of thing is very common in the Green Empire, I think it depends on Fanny's attitude after all.

"I heard from Jenny that the two of them only started to meet each other when all the instructors of Stans College had a dinner party." Alia picked up the wine glass at the bedside and leaned over to her mouth to take a sip. Her blue eyes became bright. She said: "Jenny opened a restaurant next to her hotel, as if it was because Ryante helped her solve the trouble caused by a drunk guest. Since then, Ryante occasionally returned to that restaurant to eat... Do you think Mrs. Fanny would come to the imperial capital?"

"I don't know, what is Mrs. Jenny going to do now?" I asked Alya.

She only said two words: "Wait..."

"wait?"

I don't understand what Mrs. Jenny needs to wait for. Could it be that she is waiting for Fanny to chase her to the imperial capital?

Alia squinted her eyes and looked at a lonely goose passing by the sky outside the window, and said to me: "Wait for Ryante to come to the imperial capital to take her back to El City. If there is no result she wants, she will stay in the imperial capital until everyone forgets this."

I suddenly had the urge to write to Fanny, and wanted to ask her if she was looking at this matter. As for Ryante, I was completely ineligible to say that. Seeing the beautiful and charming woman beside the pillow, and thinking about her relationship with Mrs. Jenny, I had the urge to jump into Weiyang Lake and drown myself. Alia smiled and seemed to have no burden in her heart.

At this time, Betty walked out of the bathroom with a steaming wooden barrel.

...

Dinner was taken by several maids to the terrace of Alia's bedroom.

Although it is a bit cold to eat outside the house this season, sitting on the rattan chair on the terrace outside the house facing the sunset and sunset, drinking hot soup and barbecue, what you experience is this kind of life feeling.

I gave Alia those invitations and asked her to help me pick one of the most valuable ones in it.

Alia lay on the brown sofa, took out a few of them from a pile of invitation letters, and carefully considered them for a long time before choosing one from these invitation letters, squinted and asked me with a smile: "Are you going to the scholars of Yekis to make magic patterns recently, why did you suddenly decide to attend such a dance party among aristocrats?"

Betty stood behind the sofa to help her with her soft blonde hair. I rubbed my eyebrows and said to Alia: "I think you need to go to some dances occasionally and relax, don't be stuck at home all the time, and if I want to integrate into the circle of the nobles of the imperial capital, this kind of activity seems to be inevitable."

She held up her hands from the sofa and asked me curiously: "Hey, why do you suddenly want to enter the upper class of the imperial nobles?"

Alia used to go to the major dance parties held by the nobles of the imperial capital. She was the most famous socialite in the imperial capital. It was only in the past year that she gradually faded out of the upper class and rarely participated in these dances.

She looked at me with a serious expression.

I sat on the single sofa beside her, spread my hands and said helplessly: "If you want to live a more comfortable life in the imperial capital, you always have to enter this circle. After all, the Green Empire is generally controlled by the nobles."

"Why do you suddenly feel this kind of emotion?" she asked me.

I rubbed my forehead with my hands and said, "I just don't want to become an enemy of some nobles because I am not familiar with these nobles!"

Alia handed me the invitation letter in her hand.

I took the invitation letter from Alia and looked at the signature under the gold foil, Marquis of Ludwig Aston. The rich family surname is a little familiar to me. I thought about it seriously. I remembered that Senior Hellum is a member of the Aston family. After Lucia decided to travel to the Elves World, he and Jonathan joined the family's army after graduation and ran to participate in the plane war. There is no news about them yet.

I think: Alia was able to pick this out of such a thick stack of invitations, which means that this invitation is more valuable.

I asked Alia: "Why did you choose this one?"

Alia and I squeezed into a sofa, spread the Danjin in front of me, pointed to the signature on the invitation and said, "This Marquis of Aston is not only the first heir to the Aston family, but also has the largest military workshop in the north of the Green Empire. The ordnance produced in this military workshop has a lot to do with you."

After hearing Alia say this, I understand the identity of the owner of the invitation letter and said to her: "Are you talking about the Marquis Ludwig Aston's military workshop producing bed crossbows?"

"Yes, since the outbreak of the Plane War, the Aston family's wealth has begun to explode. The size of the military workshop is said to have expanded five times more than three years ago, almost one-third of the Green Empire. I heard that the orders in the Aston Marquis' hand are enough to go next summer." Alia said to me.

Think about his barbarian heavy crossbow group, eight hundred bed crossbows would inevitably cause damage in the battle. Before this, the female dwarfs were responsible for the restoration of the bed crossbow. Some components removed from the magic bed crossbow were stocked in Xinliu Valley. The female dwarfs picked and picked from these fragmented parts and repaired the bed crossbow in a piecemeal. Until now, a large number of discarded bed crossbow parts have been stocked in the underground warehouse of Xinliu Valley. If a plane war breaks out again, there will be bed crossbows that need maintenance. There will be probably not much stock in the bed crossbow parts in Xinliu Barn warehouse.

"So if I want to buy a bed crossbow, I can't avoid this Marquis of Aston?" I said to Alia.

"That's right...unless you ask someone to come forward to help you purchase." Alia nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Well, I really need to do this myself." I decided to attend Ludwig Aston's dance party.

The door outside the manor was opened by the gatekeeper, and a magic caravan came from outside. The coachman drove the magic caravan skillfully through the courtyard and came to the front of the steps of the main house. Several maids walked out of the house and greeted under the steps. After the coachman opened the door of the car from outside, Demi, wearing a Lolita long skirt, first walked out of the car, and then a lady in a low-cut long skirt. Even at night, her exposed shoulders and round collarbone looked as white as snow against the light. Is this the reason why Ryante was moved?

Unexpectedly, I had been staying with Alia for so long, and Mrs. Jenny and Miss Demi had already returned after watching an opera at the Royal Opera House.

I quickly walked to the locker room, picked up the magic robe from the hanger and put it on my body. Betty ran behind me to help me tidy up the robe and tied up my belt. At this time, another maid took out my boots, knelt on the ground and helped me put the boots on my feet. At this time, I shook the invitation letter in my hand and invited Alia, "Do you want to go with me?"

Alia stood beside her and nodded quickly. Her eyes became a little brighter, and an upturned arc was raised at the corners of her mouth.

"I'll pick you up the night after tomorrow." I said to Alia.

Seeing that Mrs. Jenny and Miss Demi had walked along the steps into the lobby of the first floor of the villa, I quickly pushed the door and walked up to the terrace. Then, stepping on the railings of the third floor terrace, jumping directly to the protruding roof on the second floor. This was an outdoor staircase leading to the back garden pool. I walked along the stairs slowly to the back garden of Alia's house, which happened to be perfectly staggered with Mrs. Jenny and Demi.

The back garden of this manor is only separated from my quiet courtyard by a wall. When I climbed over the wall next to the swimming pool in the back garden, I saw Little Ella and Puka, and Connie and chatted by the three of them. Seeing me climbing over the wall, the girls looked at me in shock.
