Guests came and went in the garden, which was as bright as day, and passed through the banquet room.
They were surrounding the garden, talking to each other, and laughing. A few of them were ladies in formal wear. If it weren't for the fact that most of the guests were wearing black formal suits, it would have been like an ordinary evening dance.
Lu Li's eyes swept across the figures, first of all the graceful and plump ladies. After he didn't find the person he was looking for, he turned his eyes to the men.
Judging from his brief contact with Baron Joseph, this Baron is completely capable of disguising himself as a man and blending in among the guests.
Maybe she was wearing a fake beard and chatting and laughing among the guests.
But Lu Li didn't see her.
Most of the guests at the dinner were exorcists. At a rough glance, there might be hundreds of people, and there was a steady stream of latecomers entering the manor through the gate.
Invitations were spread throughout the Allen Peninsula, and most of these exorcists who came from all over the Allen Peninsula regarded this dinner as an assessment for Baron Joseph to hire exorcists.
However, because the invitation was in the plural, meaning that Baron Joseph would hire more than one exorcist, the atmosphere in the garden was relatively harmonious and there was not much hostility between colleagues.
The guests gathered together in groups of twos and threes to talk, test others for details, or make requests to the ladies. Only Lu Li was busy looking for food.
Lu Li walked through the garden, and every time he passed by the long table, there would be an extra cake or drink, a plate with food, or cut fruit in his hand.
His mouth never stopped from beginning to end.
However, his expression was calm and his movements were concealed enough that he never took it at the same table, so no waiter noticed this guy who was eating and drinking.
I can't remember the first time Lu Li picked up a box of fruit. Anna couldn't help but mutter sadly: "Is the food I made not delicious..."
"no."
Lu Li's deep black eyes gazed calmly around him, his temperament was calm and mysterious, and no one would associate him with eating and drinking.
Anna was a little happy. She knew that Lu Li would not coax others, so this must be the truth: "But you have already eaten a lot..."
"These taste better and are more nutritious."
Lu Li had not replenished the trace elements his body needed for a long time.
Anna in this world is silent.
Chewing the fruit silently, Lu Li's eyes fell on a few people not far away.
One of them, a fat man wearing a tuxedo with almost unbuttoned buttons, was boasting: "I am a special professor of occultism at Pfasl University, an honorary citizen of Shadow Town, and an honorary priest of the Lord of the Dawn Church. I have helped countless poor people.
special invitation to the people who are free from the devil."
This remark was met with a small exclamation of exclamation.
There was chatter from another place, and Lu Li looked over again.
A short man in a top hat sneered and said to other guests: "There is no occult science at Pfasl University. Shadow Town is just a small town with a population of a few thousand. The Church of the Lord of the Morning was attacked by the evil god and his followers a few years ago. After that,
He has never been able to catch his breath, and even secretly sold the title of priest internally for only 5,000 shillings. As for the last two...each of us is an exorcist, and we have all received invitations, right?"
These words also received some approval.
It's normal for the Exorcist to have some incompetent people mixed in.
For example, Lu Li at the beginning.
Lu Li listened quietly to the boastful remarks of these exorcists, discussing where the supernatural appeared, and discussing recent major events. When he felt that eating more would affect his activities, Lu Li stopped and put the empty plate back on the dining table.
At this moment, the door of the mansion, which had always been closed, suddenly opened. Baron Joseph's short female housekeeper walked to the steps and said to the guests looking in the garden: "The baron will prepare a test later, please invite the guests in front of the door."
Wait in line.”
After finishing speaking, the butler returned to the door, and the maid closed the door of the mansion, blocking the view of the gorgeous and glorious hall.
The noise in the garden dispersed somewhat, and the exorcists consciously moved closer to the mansion and waited in front of the steps.
Not long after, the door opened again, and the head maid wearing a maid's uniform and long skirt walked out of the door, allowing the first exorcist to enter the mansion.
The selected exorcist straightened his tie and proudly walked up the steps and walked behind the door while everyone was watching.
…
A comfortable bright warmth hits your face, and an intoxicating aroma fills the hall.
A graceful beauty was leaning on the gorgeous sofa, with bright red lips and narrow eyes looking at him.
The exorcist suppressed his inner excitement, bowed and saluted: "Beautiful Baron Joseph, it's a pleasure to see you."
The housekeeper next to the sofa said in a businesslike tone: "Please show me your ability."
The exorcist smiled what he thought was a gentlemanly smile: "I have psychic eyes and can detect ghosts."
The housekeeper's tone did not change and she continued: "Can you please see if there are any ghosts here?"
"It's my pleasure." The exorcist bowed slightly, closed his eyes, and opened them wide again in an instant. He scanned the exaggeratedly exquisite and gorgeous hall, exhaled slightly and said, "Without the Baron, your mansion is very clean."
Baron Joseph spoke at this moment, with a lazy voice like a cat, and waved his hand: "Next."
The exorcist was led out of the door with a confused look on his face.
Soon, the second exorcist walked into the hall.
With a solemn look on his face, he walked in and shouted: "Baron, you are being targeted by a ghost."
"oh?"
Her beautiful, jewel-like narrow eyes looked at him with interest, and her voice was light and tinged with a hint of hoarseness.
"Watch me get rid of the ghost now!"
The exorcist drew out the thin sword from his waist, brushed a few graceful sword flowers, and suddenly stabbed into the void.
"ah!!!"
A scream suddenly came from the void where he was stabbed, and disappeared.
The exorcist smiled, put away his rapier and said, "Baron, you are safe."
The butler said expressionlessly: "Thank you, you can eat whatever you like outside, next time."
"What? Please wait a moment-"
The exorcist was led out.
Then there were several exorcists, and Baron Joseph yawned several times - let alone her, not even his butler took notice.
The tenth exorcist was dragged out of the hall, and Baron Joseph couldn't help frowning and complaining: "Do I have to deal with these guys all night?"
"They were all invited by you." The butler said expressionlessly.
"I didn't invite this kind of circus member."
As soon as the words fell, approaching footsteps sounded outside the door.
Baron Joseph took a casual glance and could no longer look away.
Lu Li walked into the hall and saw Baron Joseph lazily leaning on the gorgeous sofa. Baron Joseph also saw him.
"Hello." Lu Li said calmly.
Baron Joseph stood up from the sofa, and the velvet blanket slipped from her lazy figure.
There was a certain undisguised excitement about her.
