Lord of Mysteries: Curly-haired Baboon

v1 Chapter 104: Go to a banquet

  "Hey, I can't divination!"

  After finishing a failed dream divination, Lucid opened his eyes somewhat disappointed.

  "Is it because there are too few clues and too vague? This is really daunting..."

   Lying on the soft big bed like a salted fish, staring at the flower board in a daze.

   "Sister Frein..."

  While Lucid was thinking, Anna's call came from outside the bedroom.

"Um?"

  With a little doubt, she opened the door and asked:

"whats the matter?"

  As a "real nobleman", unless there is a good reason, it is impolite to talk to someone through the door of the room.

  Anna, who stood with her hands hanging outside the door, still had fear on her face, and hesitated:

  "Sister, Mr. Newcastle sent a letter of invitation, inviting you to attend a banquet at his house... It is an important matter to discuss."

  I was a little bit apprehensive, she felt that it was inappropriate to disturb Sister Frein now.

  After all, I just experienced terrible things in the morning, so I shouldn’t be in the mood to go to the banquet.

  But no, no, she came over after a struggle of thoughts.

   blinked, Lucid was a little puzzled:

  "Didn’t I curse him just now...Is this old guy still so energetic?"

  But after another thought, it suddenly dawned on me.

  In addition to the time difference, it is estimated that when New Cullen sent someone to invite him, his curse hadn't started yet.

   "No...oh, I..."

  Subconsciously intends to refuse, she has no interest in these, and there is a faint feeling in her heart:

  If you really go there, maybe you’ll be a little bit more embarrassed...

  But after another thought, I changed my mind.

  "I want to see, what kind of medicine is sold in this Newcastle gourd! If you can, by the way, cover the matter of his oral duties"! "

   So she nodded and said softly:

"Okay, I know."

   After a pause, she continued:

   "Let Macarena prepare, and accompany me to the dinner tonight...ah, forget it, I can go by myself."

  Thinking of the personal maid whose face was pale in fright before, silently gave up the idea of ​​bringing her.

   "Sister...may I go with you?"

"what?"

  I looked up, but saw that Anna flushed, both worried and expectant.

   smiled, Lucid nodded and said:

   "Of course, it is great that Anna is willing to accompany me."

  The housekeeper's face rose even more red, and even the tone of her words became a little flustered:

   "Sister, what's the matter... I, let me arrange it..."

   smiled in her heart, this shy butler is quite interesting.

   pursed his lips and replied:

  "Not for the time being. Go ahead."

  Hearing that Anna bowed, turned and left.

  Lucid, who was alone in the bedroom, couldn’t help rubbing his chin, and thought with a smile:

  "What do you want to do in Newcastle? It's so interesting."

  In the evening, Lucid and Anna set off together to New Cullen’s manor on the outskirts of Tingen.

  Before dark, they successfully arrived at this rather unique manor Zheng

  But Lucid couldn't help but lack interest.

  Compared to the "Kitas" manor she once owned, the place she is now in is simply useless.

  As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the manor, a servant in a big red vest came to greet him.

  After verifying the invitation letter, he graciously welcomed Lucid into a hall.

  Many people gathered in the banquet hall, talking in twos and threes.

  In the huge hall, burning candles stand on several crystal lamps, which emit a refreshing scent, illuminating the hall as bright as day.

The long tables are placed with delicious food such as fried foie gras, grilled steak, grilled chicken, fried sole, disi oysters, stewed lamb, creamy soup, and a bottle of champagne, wine and All kinds of drinks that Lucid doesn't have a name, they reflect alluring luster against the light.

  A servant in a red vest is holding a plate with crystal glasses, and shuttles between gentlemen and ladies who are talking, dressed or elegant or gorgeous.

  The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It was the first time Lucid faced this kind of scene.

   Avoiding the lively crowd, she found a relatively remote place in the corner of the banquet hall and sat down.

  A long time passed, and there were more and more guests in the banquet hall, but the owner of the manor, Newcastle, had not been seen for a long time.

  The corners of Lucid’s mouth are slightly upturned, and no one knows the whole story better than her.

  The atmosphere gradually became a bit strange, and it was inevitable that the guests all started to discuss the matter.

   During this period, Lucid also inevitably attracted some attention. This was the situation after she wore a half-veil.

"Ugh……"

   could not help but sighed slightly. Although he was mentally prepared for a long time, it was really...

  Fortunately, because of being unfamiliar, no one has taken the initiative to approach him for the time being. This made Lucid a little relieved.

  Until the crimson moonlight spread across the earth, New Cullen, the initiator of the banquet, showed up.

  I saw him pale and limped while walking, like an ugly vampire with only broken leg.

After chatting with all the guests, he brought a well-dressed middle-aged gentleman to Lucid.

  Looking at Lucid, New Cullen’s pale face was squeezed out of shame, as if gossiping:

   "Sorry, Sister Frein. Due to poor hospitality due to physical reasons, I hope to forgive me."

   Touched his nose, Lucid smiled and said:

   "Ah, it's okay... The delicacies you prepared are amazing, why not entertain on Monday?"

  New Cullen obviously did not notice her guilty conscience.

  Nodded, and took the middle-aged gentleman aside to introduce Lucid:

  "This is Baron Hoy, he hopes to achieve some pleasant cooperation on some aspects of the land you purchased~lightnovelpub.net~ and then turned to introduce the middle-aged gentleman:

   "This is Sister Frein, whom I have been with."

  Lucid was taken aback when he heard the words, and he fixed his eyes on the well-dressed Mr. Baron, and a thought came to his mind:

   "Hey, why do you feel familiar?"

   frowned imperceptibly.

   Although I can’t remember where I saw the baron, he nodded and smiled:

   "Good evening, Mr. Baron."

  There was a childish voice in this crisp, which made Hoy's eyes shine.

   Through the veil, looking at the flawless contour of the face, Baron Hoy was a little surprised for a while.

   However, he can be regarded as having seen a strong wind, and he quickly reacted, and also smiled:

   "Good evening, sister Flein."

  Lucid nodded slightly, thinking about something more.

   But suddenly, she had an idea and recalled the reason for the familiarity with this "Baron Hoy".

  He is the other man behind the disappearance of the forest ranger in his dream divination!

"I see!"
