The Magician of Clow

Chapter 651 Spending money like soil, the king of the Far East

In fact, Milan has not been peaceful these two days, especially the uppermost aristocratic circle of the city,
Or maybe it should be said to set off a storm.

On the inner edge of Milan, in an aristocratic manor with high stone walls and large iron gates with patterned thorns, there is a luxuriously built sunshade garden, with white streamlined tea tables and seats dotted among green flowers.
The bright autumn sunlight refracts into the glass canopy, sprinkled on the meeting place in this aristocratic manor dedicated to the afternoon tea party,

It is the stage and battlefield of noble ladies.

The large skirts in light or dark colors are swaying among the flowers, creating a typical lady's party in this era.
No one in the aristocratic circle is better informed than them. From the mouths of these ladies who regard chatting as an indispensable part of life, you can learn about everything in the aristocratic circle recently.

Although it is a gathering of ladies and ladies, in fact they are also divided into their own small circles, and they have battles about status and face.

It's just that today's situation seems to be some exceptions, everyone formed a circle.

Because what happened the day before yesterday in the fashion shop that all of them are familiar with was like a boulder smashing into the calm waters of these nobles and ladies, and a figure that had never been seen broke into the upper class of Milan in the most brutal way circles.

A young man from the Far East met the owner of the shop by smashing the expensive handicrafts in the hall,
Bought the shop directly on the spot!

What makes this even more uncanny like a rumor story is that whether he smashed the sculpture or bought it for the storefront,

All gold!

"Oh god, he just smashed that beautiful glass sculpture without warning like a thug, we were all freaked out until the owner of the shop came out."

On the inner side of the circle, Countess Loomis was enjoying the attention and amazement of everyone else with a rich expression on her face,
As a personal experiencer of the events of that day, she was like a proud peacock, telling other ladies and ladies about the events of that day.

"Obviously the action of throwing gold at that time was like a gangster in the lower street, but after he threw the blank card, even the angry master suddenly became humble and flattering."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Loomis paused before adding:
"It's like magic."

"Does he really have that much gold?"

Surrounded by the circle, a lady heard the unbelievable turn of events and immediately asked everyone what they were most concerned about.

Mrs. Loomis glanced at her, she was also the wife of a count family like her, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.

"Unbelievable, but yeah, oh god, I don't know how much gold he threw away that day to buy that store, 1 pound? 5 pounds. 10 pounds?"

There were murmurs of exclamation in the party, whether it was the noble ladies sitting in the inner circle or their daughters and juniors around the outside, that is, some famous ladies and ladies, they all covered their lips lightly, expressing inconceivability to each other with the people around them.

"Then who is he, and why is there so much gold!?"

A viscount's wife asked this question anxiously. For her, who is not a high class in the circle, wealth is the most important thing.

Although she thought it was out of style for her to ask such a question, the other women still nodded slightly, because they were also very curious about who he was, especially those ladies on the periphery who hadn't been engaged yet.

Because this is like the fairy tales they all read when they were young, the foreign youth with mysterious origins has unparalleled wealth,
Then I met the princess who fell in love at first sight, and used the power in my hands to defeat the evil and protect her. The bedtime story of life.

"No one knows who he is, just like no one knows why he has such a large fortune."

Loomis took a sip of the black tea, secretly smiled at the Viscountess, and then answered with some pride.

"Then what does he look like?"

The sudden gentle female voice made Mrs. Loomis's heart tighten, and Loomis looked in the direction of the female voice,

It was Mrs. Visconti in a light pink skirt, a social rival who always had a good conversation with her husband at certain parties.

Listening to this obviously difficult question, Mrs. Loomis snorted coldly and replied confidently:
"That is a foreign gentleman with a very special temperament, leading a little girl in a beautiful skirt."

"That's right, so he still leads a little girl. No wonder I heard that you, Loomis, want to buy that girl's dress from that gentleman with 200 lire silver coins."

Mrs. Visconti smiled slightly. Hearing her words, the surrounding noble ladies suddenly had strange eyes but hid them well.

200 lire silver coin
For the gentleman who was dissatisfied with not being able to enter the store, and bought the store directly, it was probably a price that was not worth even looking at it.
With a slight pause in her eyes, Mrs. Loomis' expression suddenly became unnatural.

"Sisters, according to what I have heard, that gentleman is from that golden country in the Far East. He has just come to Italy recently, and the place where he first revealed his wealth was not that boutique."

Interrupting the other party's words, Mrs. Visconti just started with a chuckle, easily stealing all the attention from Loomis.

"From the Far East, really? Then that person is"

"The first thing he went to was Viscount Barrowfield's beautiful little manor. As for the process and result, I believe everyone can guess what happened."

Visconti smiled and revealed the news she knew, and immediately won the attention of all the ladies and kept asking questions,
"Mr. Viscount Barrowfield's manor, oh my God, so he lives there now?"

Visconti expressed affirmation with a smile, and answered everyone's questions. She did not forget to add her point of view:

"There is no doubt that the gentleman who owns an unknown amount of gold must also be a noble prince with a high status in his hometown in the Far East, and it is likely to be the royal family of the dynasty that just collapsed."

Then when she finished speaking, Loomis on the other side raised the corners of his mouth regrouped:

"You are really well-informed. Did Viscount Barofi tell you this at a ball?"

Hearing the words of counterattack, all the other ladies shut their mouths. Visconti narrowed his eyes slightly, and was about to smile back politely,
The woman who had been sitting on the main seat spoke.

She is a lady in her 40s, wearing the most gorgeous dress among the crowd, and she is the beloved wife of a marquis in the kingdom, Madame Leila, who holds the authority of the ladies' party in Milan.

"Well, well, ladies, whoever that gentleman is, you shouldn't quarrel about it."

The gentle and kind female voice stopped the verbal confrontation between the two of them, and then Mrs. Leila, who was wearing a big crimson dress, looked at everyone:

"But since that is a foreign gentleman who came to Milan, as nobles, we cannot avoid the intersection with him."

"But, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mrs. Lyra,"

The other countess looked at Visconti and Loomis the same, and said in a circle with a questioning expression:

"As far as I know, so far everyone who wants to visit the gentleman seems to be turned away."

Everyone looked at her again, and Visconti and Loomis frowned slightly at the same time, forgetting that they were not the only ones who were smart.

"It's just a matter of a ball. We don't need to worry. It would be very rude. It will be a matter of consideration after a while, when that noble gentleman from the Far East gets used to Milan."

Madam Leila glanced at her, and smiled with folded hands, but at this moment!

A maid in a maid outfit hurried in, came to Madam Leila and whispered quietly, then handed an envelope with a wax seal into her hand,

And the moment he saw the seal on the wax wax that symbolized the highest title under the king,
Mrs. Leila, who had always been gentle and steady, suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then opened the envelope on the spot and began to read,
After seeing the end of the letter paper, Madam Leila folded it carefully and put it back in the envelope, then said softly to the noble ladies present:
"Ladies, a very honorable lord is going to pass through Milan, it seems that our ball needs to be brought forward"

Deep and charming Italian evenings, the time of men and women,

After a few hours,

In the master's bedroom of the Earl's Manor, Higg put on his white robe and shawl and took a last look at the countess who was already asleep on the bed, and smiled and made a farewell gesture with his fingers.

Then he jumped out of the window directly, his figure leaped over the roof in the night, kept jumping and finally stopped at one of the most famous buildings in Milan,

On the roof of Milan Cathedral, there are also three figures in white robes and cloaks, but the face of the leader waiting there is not very good.

"You're three full hours late, and you're wasting time on those women?"

Myerson frowned and looked at him questioning him coldly. He couldn't bear his prodigal behavior. Higgs didn't care about this, smiled and spread his hands to explain:

"In order to obtain information, a small price is unavoidable, not to mention a countess who inherited the property of her late husband and is a courtesan is really attractive."

Listening to the profligate words of this typical Italian man, Myerson frowned fiercely, and the woman on the side also frowned slightly, but another man showed a smile that everyone understood at Higg .

"So what's the specific situation?"

Suppressing the flickering corners of his brows, Myerson held back his non-aggressive questioning, and when he heard that he was talking about serious business, Higg also put away his dandy manner, and spoke seriously about the information he got:

"If the Countess is not lying, the guy who paid for it with the wanton use of gold must be a participant, and has some kind of alchemy-like ability,"

"And if I'm not wrong, that's a Chinese."

"Huaxia. He is a member of that night club in the Far East!?"

Hearing the word 'Chinese people', the female Kesty in the priest's robe frowned and asked back in surprise,
Almost everyone in the night war world knows that there is a mysterious Huaxia Night Club.

"I don't know, he suddenly appeared in Delier, Italy without any trace, and no one knows his purpose."

Higg looked at her and replied, appreciating her beautiful appearance in his heart. Only such a woman who is also an extraordinary person is the target worthy of his pursuit.

"Regardless of whether he is a member of the Night Club or not, the order we have received is to eliminate any factors that may hinder that noble lord on the battlefield during this period of time!"

Taking a deep breath, Myerson, who is considered to have the right to speak among the four, said decisively, then continued to look at Sig and asked:
"What about that person's behavior?"

"Nothing special to say, except that he always has a little girl with him."

After finishing talking about the business, Higg spread his hands with a meaningless smile, and looked at Kesty, who was more outstanding in figure and appearance than the countess just now, with interest in his eyes.

"You can't involve innocent people, ordinary people who might be held hostage under his coercion," he said.

Sensing some trouble, Myerson sank his eyes, and then looked at the young man on the other side. Since he had been a participant for the shortest time and was the weakest among the four, he said:
"Wales, the task of separating that innocent girl from him is entrusted to you. Your ability should be able to do it."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Wells, who had no objection to entrusting such a marginal task to himself, agreed, and then the three of them listened to Myerson speak out the final decision arrangement:

"The time is at the dance party tomorrow night, Higg, you go to make preliminary contact and warn him, if he doesn't listen to the advice."

On the roof of Milan Cathedral, on the Gothic spiers, the European participants bathed in the glory of the Lord stood straight.

"Then we don't mind letting him get out of Europe."
