At the banquet at the Portland Mormont family, Rawls smiled and cut the steak in front of him with a knife and fork, which was not that big. In fact, he was extremely helpless. He faced an "audience" at close range in a non-combat scene.
"It's really a headache, even if the other party only has Sequence 6, not to mention he has to talk to him out of etiquette.
As a "lawyer", he is very good at using words to find loopholes and distort or guide the target's thinking to a certain extent. It can be said that he can become Philip's most trusted advisor, friend, and Viscount Derrian. In addition to his political role
In addition to being gifted and able to draw certain experience from previous lives, a large part of it also comes from the ability to be a "lawyer".
But facing an "audience", the more you talk, the more you will expose. If you want to guide a "hypnotist" without saying too much, Rawls thinks he still can't do it.
He picked up a cut steak with his fork, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth
Alas, I can only relax when eating... During the process of chewing, Rawls saw from the corner of his eye that the seat belonging to Dwayne Dantès was still empty. He couldn't help but frowned and was about to enter dessert.
stage, but it hasn’t come back yet.
He remembered that Klein left not long after the first main course was served. Now that the main course was about to end, it had already been almost half an hour. It seemed that one of the members was in big trouble.
Audrey, who had been curiously observing Rawls, also noticed his movements and looked at the position of the Dixi businessman with rich adventure experience. She became more and more suspicious that the two people knew each other, at least.
Viscount Derian has a certain understanding of Dawn Dantès.
But this analysis was inconsistent with the other party's statement that this was the first time he met Mr. Dantès. Likewise, Audrey found no signs of lying.
As a barrister, Viscount Derian seems to pay great attention to his speech. Although he politely responds to Hazel's questions every time, after analyzing it by Audrey on the side, he can't get any useful information.
At least it's not something that an ordinary barrister can do, so this Mr. Viscount should also be an extraordinary person. It is very likely that he is an extraordinary person of the "lawyer" path like Mr. "Emperor".
…
Deep sea whirlpool.
A flash of shock flashed through Chidora's dark blue eyes as she sank the ghost ship to the bottom of the sea. As the "Disaster Priest", although her manipulation of sea water is far less powerful than that of "Sea King", she can still obtain benefits from sea water.
To a certain extent, this is a qualitative change in the "navigator's" ability at the demigod level.
She could feel that the guy who just dived into the water had angered Obnis, which meant that it was impossible to complete the promotion ceremony. But after the ship passed by on the sea, the angered Obnis actually recovered.
He regained his composure and allowed the guy just now to enter his body.
This is not something a spell can do!
Is there someone in a high position taking action?
It's the person who spied on us just now!
She had felt like she was being peeped before, but she used different abilities many times without noticing the source of the peeping. After the feeling disappeared, she had no choice but to give up. As a teacher of the Asana Naga tribe, Qi
Dora is naturally very intelligent, but she is still a little confused now.
Let’s not mention the ship that may have passed by accidentally. Simply speaking, there are too many problems with this ghost ship that sank into the sea.
Judging from some things on the ship, this ship must belong to the Church of Storms and to the "captain" in Tamara's intelligence. But if this is the case, the "Windwinder" who is seeking promotion can definitely be promoted within the church.
Chidora didn't believe that the Church of Storms didn't raise a group of Obnis.
But now, a "captain" holds a talisman that can communicate with marine life, and ran to the North Sea to find Obnis for promotion. He should have failed, but he actually got help from a high-ranking person, and this high-ranking person is very likely to
He is also a demigod of the "Umbrella" path.
The pointed ears comparable to those of elves moved slightly. Chidorah raised his head slightly and looked over. Has he been promoted successfully?
Still a little confused in her heart, she suddenly felt the sense of peeping again. She hesitated for a moment, then waved her six arms again, causing the huge water ball wrapped in the "Blue Avenger" to rise from the bottom of the sea.
No matter whether it is the agreement with the Tamara family or the current situation, Chidora is not allowed to conflict with the secretly peeping being.
Above the gray fog, Klein breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. He also stopped stroking the bone body of the "Poseidon Scepter". At least judging from the current situation, these Nagas can still talk about it.
of.
No, we can't use "only" to describe it, let's use "bit". After all, they are intelligent creatures, just like Emlyn.
After complaining about himself, Klein threw the picture and information into the crimson corresponding to "The Hanged Man" and asked him to wait for Naga on the sea.
After receiving the news, Alger Wilson thanked Mr. Fool again in his heart, kicked his legs back and forth, and arrived on the sea surface in half a minute, several times faster than before his promotion. After another half minute,
A huge water ball floated up from the sea. The "Blue Avenger" was intact, as if it had merged with the water ball and turned into a huge model.
Then, four figures emerged from the water, revealing their upper bodies. The crimson moonlight caressed a large area of exposed skin, and disappeared into the ravine wrapped in shells. Their ice-blue eyes were like icebergs that had not melted for thousands of years, and their gray-blue hair
It was not soaked by the sea water and hung loosely on the shoulders.
If someone with poor eyesight saw this scene, they would probably want to jump into the water directly. But Alger, whose eyesight has been improved again after being promoted, could clearly see that in addition to the normal pair of arms, there were two pairs of arms extending from above the shoulders and below the ribs.
, not to mention that each arm is covered with a layer of fine gray-blue scales from the elbow up, extending to the collarbone. The waist connected to the sea is also covered with scales, but it is thicker, and you can vaguely see the scales under the sea.
Huge snake tail.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Naga!
The ancient intelligent race that existed in the second era was an ally of the elves. But in the fifth era when the elves had almost disappeared, Naga still existed.
"Humans, Naga has no intention of being your enemy. Leave here and promise not to leak our information!"
Chidora's voice sounded a little old, but it was pleasant to the ear. Paired with the ancient and difficult Elvish language, it seemed as if he was telling a great epic.
But for Alger, this is not a matter of heaven. Although he is now a Sequence 5 "Ocean Singer", he does not understand Elvish, so he cannot understand what Chidora is saying at all.
This is not to say that Alger is not good at learning, but that he does not have the resources in this area. His childhood life was as a servant in a small church, so it was impossible for him to be taught such a dangerous language, and after becoming an extraordinary person, he was directly taught
He was sent to the sea to become a "captain" and had little chance to learn.
Crane, who realized that the Hanged Man could not understand Elvish, sighed, and his translation work had expanded from online to offline.
Chidora frowned after discovering that the other party could not understand Elvish. The Asana Naga tribe had been isolated from the outside world for too long, and even she could only understand Elvish. And the last time the Tamara family came,
, there is no communication problem, although they also realize that the humans outside have their own language.
Suddenly, a look of joy appeared on Alger's face, and he nodded in agreement. He did not want to have a conflict with a "Disaster Priest" at sea, even if Mr. Fool was watching him. After all, if a conflict occurred,
In this situation, it is unlikely that anyone below a demigod would survive.
After seeing Alger nodding, Chidora also breathed a sigh of relief. She waved her upper left arm casually, and the huge water ball wrapped in the "Blue Avenger" slowly flowed into the sea like a melted ice ball. The pair in her middle
Pushing his arm forward, the ghost ship was driven by the waves and headed towards the opposite direction.
Alger directly called for the strong wind and carried him to the boat. After bowing slightly to the Naga in the water, he sailed towards Sunia Island. But before he sailed far away, the smile on his face froze.
His misfortune has not yet gone far, Mr. "Fool" told him that a pirate ship flying the flag of "The Immortal King" also sailed in this direction to Sunia Island. In the same way, he also got the task of investigation
.
After seeing the ghost ship far away, Chidorah led the three "Windwinders" to sink into the sea. She wanted them to complete the ritual as soon as possible. After that, the four Nagas worked together to drive all the two nearby Obnis to the North Sea.
Go. Although the human promised not to reveal the information, Chidora did not believe in humans, let alone such a non-binding agreement.
…
After solving a series of problems, Klein finally left the Kingdom of God and returned to the dining table of another Kingdom of God. After apologetically giving an excuse, he sat back down and the dinner came to the end, his favorite dessert part.
It was about to end. But before he felt pity, he found three pairs of eyes diagonally opposite him looking at him.
Audrey Hall, Rolls Adrian, Hazel Macht.
Dwayne Dantès, who didn't know that he had been discussing himself for half the time after he left, twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his glass, and took a sip. He expressed his apology, but there was no conversation. This was not in line with etiquette. Of course, the biggest
The reason is that the dining table is very wide.
Forty-five minutes, or even longer... Although he didn't take out his pocket watch to check, Rawls still roughly estimated the length of time. After today, there will be a rumor that Dwayne Dantes' intestinal tract is very bad.
This is already a better result, because if you say otherwise, you will definitely offend the Portland Mormont family.
But fortunately, this kind of topic, which involves discussing other people's health and is incompatible with the dinner party, was not mentioned by the two chatty ladies, which made Rawls feel a little more relaxed.
Soon, the time came to ten o'clock, and the dinner was over. Some gentlemen and ladies went to the card room together, preparing to play Texas Hold'em for two hours. The remaining men walked to the living room, intending to chat for a while, which did not exclude the ladies from joining.
, but because there are many smokers and colorful topics inevitably arise, there are no ladies participating. They may go down to the first floor and gather around the piano, listening to the active performers playing and singing softly, or in groups of two or three.
, play chess and have fun.
Klein did not choose any side. He also wanted to know how his sister could appear here. Fortunately, as a stranger in this banquet, his choice did not attract attention.
He walked around the corridor where Melissa had just appeared, but he didn't gain much. Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the bathroom not far behind him for divination, and to stabilize his fragile intestines.
When I set up, I found a familiar voice coming from the corner, both the owner Portland Mormont and Viscount Drian Rolls Adrian.
A few seconds later, Portland appeared there, followed closely by Earl Hall and Little Duke Negan, then Rawls, and finally the person Crane was most familiar with, his sister Melissa,
And she was whispering something to Rawls.
Klein, who felt the veins on his forehead bulging as his heart beat violently, pursed his lips and finally used his "Joker" ability to stabilize himself. Several people walking towards him also noticed him.
"Monsieur Dantès?"
As the host, Portland was the first to speak. The other party disappeared for an hour during the more than two hours of dinner, so he was naturally very impressed.
"Ah, I'm sorry, my stomach is not feeling very well today." Klein pointed to the bathroom not far away.
"Oh, so that's it." Portland nodded slightly, reluctantly accepting this reason.
Philip also withdrew his gaze. He just noticed the look on Dwayne Dantès's face. If it was because of gastrointestinal discomfort, then there would be no problem.
A few people chatted casually for a while. As the host, Portland naturally couldn't bear to leave Klein and go to the study directly. Rawls also took over this problem.
"Several people, my previous communication with Mr. Dantès was interrupted by the arrival of Philippe and Count Hall. I hope you can give me this opportunity to continue listening to Mr. Dantès's adventure."
Although it was a bit offensive, Rawls' identity was there and he was clearly trying to save the situation, so Portland and others did not feel rude. After a few words of expression, they went directly to the second floor, leaving only Rawls and
Klein.
"Monsieur Dantès, let us continue."
"Sorry, I disturbed you." Klein, who had received etiquette training, also expressed his apology appropriately.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
"It doesn't matter, my mission has been completed. Didn't you see that even Franmy Cage didn't participate?" Rawls replied with a smile as he walked.
Klein nodded slightly and asked as if unintentionally:
"But I didn't seem to see the lady who was following me at the end just now at the banquet?"
"Melissa Moretti is a student of Mr. Mormont. He accidentally discovered it when he started recruiting new students at Backlund University of Technology and Technology. She is said to be very talented and participated in the steam chariot project..."
As Rawls spoke more and more, Klein's hands behind his back became tighter and tighter.
