Earl Cullen's mansion has a typical medieval style, integrating luxury and simplicity. .
A cobblestone path leads directly through the lawn to the entrance of the manor. There are symmetrical fountains on both sides, which vividly display the aristocratic sentiment.
There are no walls or gates here. There are only a dozen soldiers armed with long guns and wearing iron armor patrolling back and forth, and gardeners who are pruning the manor are hard at work.
When Wu Ming and Lucy came in, there seemed to be a banquet being held in the manor. There were many carriages parked on the lawn, and the air was filled with the aroma of bread and beer.
"Sir, where is your invitation?" Just as they were about to enter the door, a waiter stopped the two of them and said, "The Earl is holding a banquet. You can't go in without an invitation."
"We are here to purchase honorary titles. I would like you to go in and inform us." When Wu Ming said this, the waiter did not dare to make the decision.
After taking a serious look at the two of them, the waiter said "wait a moment" and turned around and walked into the manor.
A few minutes later, when the waiter came back, he was accompanied by an old butler.
The butler's status in aristocratic families is very high. In many cases, he can even exercise certain rights on behalf of his master.
This old butler is obviously like this. He looks to be in his sixties, dressed meticulously, and has an old-fashioned and stern look on his face.
After arriving at the door, the old butler looked Wu Ming up and down for a while and said, "Sir, do you want to buy an honorary title?"
"Yes." Wu Ming nodded simply and asked, "Does the earl have time now?"
"Of course, this is a good thing. His Excellency the Earl likes to support his juniors."
The old butler had a smile on his face. After thinking for a moment, he added: "Your Majesty the Earl is holding a banquet. Please come in first. I will report this matter to Your Majesty the Earl."
Following the old butler into the manor, he saw a lively hall as soon as he entered the door.
In the hall, cheerful music echoed, and aristocratic boys and girls were talking and laughing while holding wine glasses.
Plates of barbecue and glasses of fine wine were constantly being taken away from the hands of the maids passing by, and empty plates were constantly being taken away.
When Wu Ming saw these people for the first time, he felt like he was at a garden party, and found that everyone felt relaxed.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I'm going to report to your Excellency." After bringing Wu Ming in, the old housekeeper turned and left.
Wu Ming signaled Lucy to calm down and raised his eyes to slowly scan the crowd.
The people attending the party here seemed to be the second generation of nobles. No one was over twenty years old, and there were no parents accompanying them.
Recalling what the old butler said, it is estimated that such a banquet was not held in one place, but in two separate places.
The outside is the entertainment ground for the second generation, and the inside is where Count Cullen communicates with the various family heads. Only by doing this separately can the two parties have a happy time.
Otherwise, these aristocratic young masters and ladies might not feel so comfortable in front of their fathers and mothers.
"Is this a party?"
Lucy, who likes to see the Queen's self-cultivation, attended the party for the first time and looked a little shy and ready to move.
Before Wu Ming could say anything, the future Black Dragon Queen couldn't wait to take a glass of wine, take a sip and taste it.
"Cough cough, cough cough cough." After taking a sip of wine, Lucy coughed violently, which attracted the attention of people around her.
Wu Ming stepped forward and patted her back twice. Lucy stuck out her tongue and said softly: "It's so spicy, and it doesn't taste good at all."
"Isn't this girl's first time drinking at a bar?" Wu Ming thought with some suspicion after seeing Lucy's reaction.
In fact, it was exactly what he thought. Lucy had never been to the human world before, and this was her first time drinking.
After taking a sip of wine, Lucy choked a bit, but still remembered eating and not taking a beating.
Sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, the Black Dragon Queen took another sip. The blush on her face made people look indescribably cute.
"Who is this girl? I haven't seen it before!"
"I don't know, but she is so beautiful. It would be great if I could get to know her."
"I want to give it a try, but if I can ask her name, you will have to drink three drinks as a penalty."
"Okay, if you can ask, we will drink. The grandson will not drink."
Looking at Lucy's drunken face, the aristocratic youths around her were talking in low voices, and some were eager to come up and say hello.
At first, Wu Ming felt that these young people's wishful thinking was wrong.
Unexpectedly, when a young man came over with a wine glass and asked Lucy's name in a low voice, Lucy did not refuse at all, but said: "My name is Lucy, what is your name?"
"My name is Lu Ge, from the Cliffin family. Nice to meet you!" Only then did the young man named Lu Ge notice Wu Ming standing not far from Lucy.
Compared to Lucy, Wu Ming, who was born in the Parcival family, is in the same circle as these people and has met everyone on weekdays.
At this moment, Wu Ming was suddenly seen, and the laughing aristocratic young men all became silent for a moment, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Isn't this Gatt? Why is he here too?"
"Yes, doesn't it mean that Gat has been expelled from the family, and now the heir of the Percival family is the illegitimate son?"
"Who knows, I think there is something good to watch. Garuko is over there. I think the expression on his face must be very interesting when he sees his brother."
There are no secrets among nobles.
Gat, who was possessed by Wu Ming, was expelled from the Parcival family a few months ago and lost his status as heir, which was widely circulated among the nobles.
Now, I suddenly saw that Gat, who should have stayed in the countryside, far away from the core of the aristocracy, appeared again, and many people's gossip fires were burning brightly.
What's more, several noble young men who had problems with Gart in the past disappeared into the crowd, apparently going to find Garu.
"Why are you so bloody!" Seeing these people's reactions, Wu Ming was a little bit dumbfounded.
He didn't take the Percival family and these noble young masters to heart, but he didn't expect that these people actually planned to cause trouble with him.
He no longer had to think about what was going to happen next, it would just be his cheap brother jumping out and pretending to slap him in the face to increase his sense of presence.
"Brother" Sure enough, it didn't take long for Garu to come over in a hurry.
Seeing this cheap brother whom he had only met once, Wu Ming had nothing to say at all and just nodded with an indifferent expression.
But Garu didn't think so. His face was as red as a monkey's butt, and he said with embarrassment and annoyance: "What are you doing here!"
Wu Ming didn't speak, just glanced at him lightly, with a look of displeasure in his eyes.
Garu seemed to be stung by this look, and the expression on his face was extremely ferocious. He lowered his voice and roared: "Did someone send you a message to tell you that your father will apply to the Earl today to make me the heir of the family?
?Humph, what will happen even if you find out, now I am the young master of the Percival family, you are just a poor guy who was kicked out, what will happen if you come back!"
"Haha" Wu Ming didn't explain anything because he didn't bother to do that and didn't think it would be useful to explain.
You know, in the eyes of young men born into noble families, the position of an heir to a noble family is definitely bigger than the sky.
Obviously, Garu regarded him as a competitor, and it was a big stone that he had to kick away before he could become the heir.
This is the level difference between the two. Garu only sees the Parcival family, but Wu Ming considers the entire world.
Summer insects cannot be said to be ice-free. A crow caught an insect and saw a phoenix flying by.
The crow cries naturally, fearing that the phoenix will snatch the bug away. This is the different perspective of the two.
"Okay, let me beg you. Since you are my brother, after I become the heir of the family, I will give you two more manors, as long as you don't make trouble anymore. You don't want to lose face, I
You still want to save face, do you want our family to become the laughing stock of the nobility?" Hearing Wu Ming's sneer, Garu's teeth were itching, but he wanted to maintain the so-called aristocratic demeanor and did not dare to say a harsh word in front of everyone.
Feeling his brother's hypocrisy and the hidden hatred, Wu Ming felt bored and said lightly: "My stupid brother, you are like a miser, guarding worthless things, but you are afraid
Being snatched away. Maybe you can't understand my pattern, and I don't expect you to, but please don't look at me from your narrow perspective. Your so-called treasure is really worthless in my eyes.
."
"Damn it, why are you so hypocritical and so good at pretending!"
Garu just thought Wu Ming was bargaining, and couldn't help but said heartbrokenly: "Both manors are not satisfied, how can you be so greedy? You can't even awaken the professional sector, and you can only be a useless person for the rest of your life. Don't you understand?
Is there any gap between us? If you are really smart, you should please me now, please me, the future Viscount, my dear brother!"
"Are you crazy to please you?" Wu Ming was speechless. His stupid brother felt so good about himself.
His metaphor was so straightforward that Garou didn't even understand it. It was so stupid and sad.
It seems that the future of the Parcival family is also worrying.
