Chapter 3323 Marquis Jomondley
Chapter 3320 Marquis Joemondley
Although the location of the first fire cannot be detected immediately, it has been considered a great gain to confirm that the first fire is indeed on this island.
Xia De didn't care much about this matter. After all, it was normal to not find it from previous experience. When Xia De and Emilia came to the town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains again, it was completely dark at this time.
Miss Reinhardt, dressed in a dress, was waiting for them in the snow-capped hall. After Xia De arrived, he looked at his outfit carefully:
"It's not bad, is it handmade formal outfit? It seems that you often attend such formal banquets."
Emilia was not interested in aristocratic banquets, so she and Miss Larson stayed in the town to take care of the unicorn Ellie. I have to admit that Emilia is indeed professional. In just three days, the unicorn's mental state has obviously returned to normal. Although her physical injuries have not yet been fully healed, she is already stronger than when Shade saw it on Sunday night.
This also reminds Xia De that Emilia must not be allowed to manage Xiaomia's food.
Emilia promised to help Xiade check whether there was any information left by the ancient witch on the unicorn. The carriage to the city was already prepared in advance. After the witch explained her apprenticeship what to do if something happened to the night, she and Xiade set off in the carriage to Shilun City.
Grand Duke Lagsen intends to mediate the relationship between Delareon and Carsonrick, so this welcoming banquet on the island was also held for both parties. Grand Duke Lagsen specially came from the city of Lomari, the capital of the principality, and the venue for the banquet was also his private manor on the island.
It was a luxurious manor on the northern edge of Fatumonster City, but unlike the noble manors in other cities, they also own nearby woodlands or land. Even Grand Duke Lagsen only owns the ownership of a small forest next to his manor, because most of the woodlands on this island belong to the Fatu people.
It was already a little late for Shade and Miss Reinhardt to come. When they arrived at the door of the manor, most of the guests had arrived. Shade jumped out of the carriage, then turned around and held the witch's hand and let her walk out of the carriage. Tonight's banquet was only for social needs, and without major tasks, Shade was in a relatively relaxed mood.
The old butler stood in the cold wind at the door of the manor, checking the invitation letter, but Xia De and the Witch should be the least important type of guests. After all, whether it is the witch or "John Watson", there is neither the title of aristocratic, nor the friend of an important person.
Therefore, participating in this kind of social event as an identity that is not the focus of the banquet is very novel for Xia De.
The manor opens the second floor banquet hall, which also has a terrace. Standing on the terrace, you can overlook the snow-capped mountains of Fatumonster under the stars. Representative Carsonrick and De La Reion are all present, and you can roughly distinguish the positions of most guests based on your appearance alone.
Of course, there were also many nobles from the Principality of Lagerson who came to join in the fun at the banquet, or were content to participate in such a big scene. After all, the war between Delareon and Carsonrick was unlikely to extend to the Principality of Lagerson in the southernmost part of the Old Continent, so the local nobles seemed to regard this talks between the two countries as some kind of novelty such as art exhibitions and art exhibitions.
Most of the locals present knew Miss Reinhardt, and accordingly, Carsonrick and most of the representatives of Delareon, Shade, actually knew. Part of them were known during various talks and negotiations before, and the other part was seen on confidential documents of MI6.
Xia De even suspected to have seen his boss, Director Anlos. Director Anlos really goes anywhere when he is busy.
"What are you looking at?"
Miss Reinhardt, who was about to take Xia De to meet his friend, said curiously, and Xia De made excuses:
"It seems like I've seen an acquaintance I've known before."
Claire Reinhardt, who was looking forward to deepening his relationship through this banquet, immediately became alert:
"It's not the woman you accidentally met again, right?"
After asking, I realized that asking questions like this was very inappropriate, but Xia De didn't care and shook his head casually:
"Of course not, and I don't have acquaintances everywhere. I'm not a woman, a man, and an ordinary person."
Miss Reinhardt nodded slightly, still feeling that the question she asked just now was inappropriate.
Her former classmate and friend was the wife of Marquis Jomondley of Wirondale. This marquis was not only a former classmate of Miss Reinhardt, but also had a very good relationship with both parties. When she saw the witch from afar, the marquis waved to her enthusiastically.
The person who had just chatted with the Marquis left consciously, and when the two approached, Shade saw that the Marquis Jomondley looked about twenty-seven or eight years old, with long light brown hair and green eyes. She looked quite outstanding, but after Miss Reinhardt approached, she looked a little ordinary because of the contrast.
"Long time no see, Molly, have you received the gift for the end of the year?"
"Long time no see, Claire. Of course I received it, and I hope you like the gift I gave you."
The two of them exchanged a little greeting, and then the marquis looked at her with sigh:
"In a blink of an eye, we have graduated for so many years, and you have not changed at all, and you are still so young and beautiful. I heard that your mineral exploration business is doing well? I didn't expect that there were so many people at the same level, and in the end you were the only one who was still in the business.
Does running around outside really help keep young? Look at me, after giving birth, there will be wrinkles at the corners of your eyes, but you are still a 20-year-old girl.”
The girl with platinum hair laughed because of this praise:
"Marl, you're just too stressed. That's what you did when you were studying. This time you came to my hometown and I can take you around."
The sentimental Marquis, who looked quite sentimental, nodded with a smile:
"I've heard you talk about the scenery of Fatummonster Island a long time ago. Oh, I haven't asked this handsome gentleman yet."
She looked at Shade curiously again, and Miss Reinhardt introduced her:
"This is Mr. John Watson, a friend I met outside. This time I returned to my hometown and he said he wanted to come here to check it out. We came back together. He also went to my house a few days ago."
So the Marquis covered her face with a fan and smiled:
"I was originally thinking about asking about your private matters, but it seems that you have already arranged it yourself and are so young."
This sentence was said to Xia De. After saying it, he took the initiative to extend his right hand to Xia De, and his palms drooped naturally with his fingers. Xia De bowed slightly, gently supported the back of her hand with his right hand, and lowered his head and lips symbolically lightly the air on his back of his hands.
This is a standard kissing gesture, and generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible to directly contact female skin.
Seeing Xia De's movements were so standard, the Marquis asked curiously:
"I don't know what Mr. Watson does?"
Miss Reinhardt wanted to explain, but Shade spoke first:
"I was given a gift and became a shareholder in a small gold mine. In addition, I do some small business with my friends in Virondale City. I also have partners in the Yuewan area. The seven major families in Yuewan have some shallow friendships."
If it were fifty years ago, people who did not have titles but only business would not be able to catch the eyes of the nobles; but after the beginning of the Steam Revolution, a large number of emerging aristocrats and wealthy wealth continued to emerge, making such simple and very rich businessmen also qualified to stand with the nobles.
The Marquis’s eyes lit up;
"I'm very familiar with the nobles of Moon Bay? Do you know Earl Belindel of Moon Bay? I saw her when the Marquis and I passed by Moon Bay before the end of the year. The Earl also looked very young and quite elegant."
Xia De immediately felt the witch's eyes on him, and he smiled reservedly:
"I have met Earl Belindel, but I am not very familiar with her. I have only seen her from a distance at a social banquet. But I am very familiar with the local Marquis of Morson and have competed with him."
Marquis Mosen is a local high-level blood-sucking species in Moon Bay. When Xiade, Mr. Bernhardt and the coroner asked for help from the blood-sucking forces in Moon Bay, they also joked with him with the heart of the horse.
Claire Reinhardt found that she seemed to have realized the new side of the men around her. Her past relationship made her think that the man with the fake name "John Watson" was the kind of unrestrained, but very powerful, wandering on the old continent.
But today he was a veteran who was mingled in aristocratic banquets. Not only were his clothes and etiquette very appropriate, but he even stood there as if he was born to such an occasion.
Just now, the Marquis was still bright and charming, and therefore sentimental. He smiled at Xia De in just a few words. He obviously had a good impression of the strange young people in the North, but Claire Reinhardt knew that his old classmate was not the kind of person who could be deceived by a man's words.
Xia De's explanation of his identity at this time was something that the witch had never heard of. However, what he mentioned was only ordinary people's affairs. It was not difficult for a high-ring warlock like Xia De to get some industry, so she did not realize what Xia De said was behind the things that Xia De said.
Miss Reinhardt and the Marquis of Joemondley had not seen each other for a year, and they had a lot to say. Chade was curious about where the Marquis of Joemondley had gone, but unfortunately he did not know the Marquis of Joemondley.
As for the representatives of Carsonrick and De La Reion, they got along very well at the banquet. There were only two human kingdoms in the old continent, so most of the diplomatic and military representatives of the two countries were familiar with each other. Now the two countries have not yet started a war, and most of the people here will not go directly to the battlefield, so there is no need to make them nervous at the banquet.
