Chapter 40 Prelude to the Night Banquet

Lorraine Hill sat in front of the dressing table and let Chelsea dress up.

She looks a little different at this moment than before. Her hair is no longer silver, but turns golden. This is because she took an extraordinary potion [Rainbow Potion] (rare bronze level), which can change hair color and skin color.

I also learned about the magical potion from Trinasha's records. Because witches live for a long time, they have accumulated a lot of knowledge about dressing up without knowing it, and their eye color has also changed back to its original light blue.

Wearing a blue dress, there is a beautiful bow on the side waist of the dress. The blue skirt is separated at the waist, revealing the white inner skirt, which looks more layered, and the edge of the skirt has lace.

, adding a bit of gorgeousness and beauty.

After putting on the complicated dress, Lorraine Hill pinned Trinasha's butterfly hairpin to the side. Her golden hair covered her fair neck at the back, leaving two strands in front of her chest. This outfit

The blue strapless dress was the most conservative one that Lorraine Hill picked out from the pile of clothes. Others, including those with large backs and thigh splits, were all passed by her.

But even so, it still made her a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the opening on the front of the chest was high and very little was exposed, so she was willing to wear it.

"Where is Miss Lacey from? I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you."

Chelsea asked curiously while helping Lorraine Hill comb her hair.

"I don't know either. I have lived in the forest since I was a child and was raised by a teacher."

"That's right, but I'm sure that no matter which country you go to, as long as you appear in public, there will be countless young heroes who will be crazy for you."

"Well...I don't want it." The girl murmured in distress.

"Where is Chelsea from?"

"I lived in the Green Empire when I was a child. Later, I came to Hopeland with the fleet, and then I was recruited by Master Angus as a maid."

"What kind of man is Mr Angus?"

"Sir, when I first met him, his personality was a bit flippant. He was not as big a business as he is now. At that time, he just made a little money and often came to the bar to drink."

"bar?"

"Yes, I just came to Verga and worked in a bar. That was the first time I met Mr. Angus."

"Well, was Mr. Angus very frivolous at that time?"

"Haha, that's true, but he is very handsome, and some of the sisters in the bar had a good impression of him."

"At that time, he often boasted about how smart he was, how powerful he was, etc. Many customers in the bar liked to listen to his bragging, and of course some people just wanted to see his jokes."

"Then how did he become rich later?"

"Later, the master and one of his friends, who is now the head of the Yagtilin family, Jelinek, went on an adventure to the islands in the South China Sea."

"They unearthed ancient relics from an island and handed them over to the Chuyue Council in the South China Sea. The mages of the Chuyue Council gave them a sum of money and a business license."

"Then with this money, they purchased spices from the South China Sea and sold them in Verga, and they quickly became rich."

"No wonder you said that the Yagtilin family can be trusted. It turns out that the current head of the family and Angus are friends who share weal and woe."

"Yes, Jelinek was just an inconspicuous younger member of the family at that time. Later, he became stronger and stronger because of this, and finally won the position of the head of the family."

Not long after Lorraine Hill settled down in the mansion in Kempe City, the invitation from the Yagtilin family was sent over. In the past, the invitation would not be so formal, and usually just send a message, because Angus and Jelinek

They are all old friends. But now that the Kalites family has changed owners, everything has gone according to formal procedures.

Kempe City at night, Yagtilin's house.

There seemed to be drifting clouds rolling through the night sky, the moonlight appeared and disappeared, and the evening breeze blew away the summer heat.

Yagtilin is a large local family that has been here for hundreds of years. The courtyard of their home is very large. Lorraine Hill sat in the carriage and looked at the bluestone iron wall. After walking a few hundred meters to the gate, the black iron gate

There were six large braziers in front of it, illuminating the surrounding area. From time to time, carriages would enter, and then attendants would call.

"Mr. and Mrs. Rogge of the Gibran family have arrived."

"Brother Blaise, the president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, is here."

Local noble families and big businessmen in bright clothes and angry horses were invited, and the Yagtilin family became extremely lively for a while.

As the sound of horse hooves gradually subsided, the luxurious mahogany carriage stopped in front of the gate of Yagtilin's house. The two teams of riders around them also stood aside and waited quietly.

Under the flames of the brazier, the black flower and purple stamens logo on the carriage was recognized by others. It was the logo of the Carites Chamber of Commerce, a rising star in Verga in recent years. The previously noisy gate also became quiet.

The other guests at the back did not dare to talk loudly. After all, everyone already knew the protagonist of this banquet before coming. She was Angus's daughter and the new owner of the Carites Chamber of Commerce.

An old butler in a black dress walked to the carriage door, and everyone recognized him as Seres, who had always been by Angus' side.

The car door decorated with glass windows was opened, and the first thing that popped out from the door was a light blue silk skirt, then shoes decorated with blue butterflies, then long golden hair like the sun, and finally this girl

He raised his head, revealing his eyes as blue as the sky, and the beautiful scene shocked everyone present like a picture scroll of a prosperous age.

"Who is this girl?"

"......have no idea."

Some guests started talking quietly.

"She should be the new owner of the Carites family, Angus's daughter."

"No way, can Angus's daughter have such an appearance?"

"I have never seen a being with such a face. It's like a dream."

"Yes, she is Angus's daughter, Miss Lacey. I heard from the Yagtilin family that they sent the invitation."

A group of servants poured out from the courtyard, and they quickly laid a soft red carpet between the gate and the building. The girl with blond hair and blue skirt stepped onto the carpet wearing blue shoes that were slightly darker than the hem of her skirt.

Then he followed Chelsea and Seres, protected by six Sequence of War 2 Lan Lancers, to the entrance of the hall.

"You just stay here."

"Yes, Miss."

The six Sequence 2 riders stood on both sides of the gate, and then the gate opened, and the girl led Seres and Chelsea into the lively hall of the banquet.
