Chapter 121 The Noble Banquet 4
The occasionally reflective silver knife and fork collided with the plate engraved with the Phantomhive family emblem under the bright lights, and the crisp sound echoed in the slightly empty hall. The tall deacon who met any requests from the guests made the style of this dinner a lot higher.
It's rare for Ren Li not to criticize again at this time. Although food will not play a big role in stopping the conspiracy, it can at least stop one or two. The dinner party had a good time, and Ren Li tasted all the sweets on the table. Satisfied, he put down the knife and fork, and waited for the master to plan the next arrangement.
"It's really delicious food. I think there is a perfect butler in Phantom Heywe's family." Ren Li didn't hesitate to praise him.
"Sebastian." The young head of the house didn't show any joy because of this, and reminded the deacon calmly.
The man in the tuxedo bowed gracefully, with a smile on his lips, "I'm just a deacon."
The skillful and chilling use of puns.
Ren Li preemptively postponed the night's sleep time and asked for a sideshow, "One dinner has already opened my eyes. I don't know what surprises the Earl is waiting for Porter tonight?"
Charles frowned unobtrusively, and stood up gracefully with movements that even the strictest etiquette teacher could not find a single fault, "Naturally, he will not disappoint Mr. Porter's expectations."
Ren Li got up, looked at the unfinished dessert reluctantly, and waited for the moment when the other two people in the hall turned around and out of sight, they swept the dessert into their pockets as if no one was there——in the space, they exchanged it into points unceremoniously.Looking up again, Ren Li was looking into his scarlet eyes, the smile that was not a smile made Ren Li break out in cold sweat, but he looked back with a puzzled smile on his face.
How about I just take your stuff and still take it in front of you?
The eyes expressing such wishes were sent over, and Ren Li's rascality deepened. As expected, the deacon turned around to lead the way for the guests as if nothing had happened.The moment he looked away from his body, Ren Li felt a sense of loss of strength, and fearfully put the plate that he planned to go along with him back on the table.
It seemed that the deacon didn't object to him doing some tricks to entertain the public, but there was a limit to everything, and he seemed to be reaching the deacon's bottom line.
Ren Li thought about it all the way, and occasionally smiled and praised the layout and decoration of the castle. His words were full of admiration, and he always mentioned the fire two years ago intentionally or unintentionally, and kept making disgusting comparisons.The Patriarch's extraordinary endurance was displayed, and Xia Erben's indifferent attitude was even more icy. It was hard for the child to maintain the superficial politeness and not directly vent his dissatisfaction.
Turning left and right, Rao Ren Li has a strong memory, and now he is also in the castle and lost his head.The three of them stopped in front of a door that they didn't know whether they had entered before, and Ren Li stepped into the room under Charles' provocative gaze.
It is simply a children's paradise.
In a room as large as a 50-person classroom, except for an open space in the center that is roughly the size of four tables put together, there are all kinds of toys hanging on the shelves, floor, and ceiling around it.If you let a real toy-loving child walk into this room, he would probably jump screaming.
Ren Li expressed his surprise in time, and kept saying "As expected of the Phantomhive family", "Is this your toy room?" and other exclamations, and couldn't wait to break into the toy room world.Ren Li is obviously more interested in plush toys, especially small plush toys. He keeps lingering in front of the shelf with plush toys, and occasionally ravages a toy, and the furry touch makes him laugh happily.
It's a bit like that grumpy monster who likes to drink and eat steamed stuffed buns, oh no, it's a beckoning cat.
It is always pleasant to recall the departure of a friend.
In contrast, another real child in the room had a gloomy face, went straight to the sofa in the middle of the room and sat down, and ordered coldly, "Bring my chess."
"Yes, mylord." The black-haired deacon responded.
Ren Li, who had recovered from his memories, took the opportunity to stuff two or three small gadgets into the space. Anyway, even the Patriarch wouldn't care about these details, and he didn't take them for nothing.
"Mr. Poulter," suddenly, a gentle and magnetic voice rang in his ears, causing Ren Li's hands to tremble in shock, and the puppet that was about to be stuffed into the space fell to the ground.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ren Li said quickly, and without waiting for anyone to move, he squatted down and picked up the puppet without putting it on the shelf. Then he turned around and looked at the other party innocently, "You called me just now... What's the matter?"
The battle-tested deacon seemed shocked by such a shameless, rascal and thick-skinned person. He suppressed the words he wanted to say twice, and his decent smile loosened a bit, looking stiff and insubstantial.Of course, this can't conceal the deacon's handsome appearance. No matter what expression the deacon makes, he looks handsome and chic.
"What's the matter...Wow, this is chess? Am I lucky enough to have a bloody and passionate game with the Earl?" Ren Li couldn't bear the deacon's rare silence, and changed the subject with a lame laugh.
"Yes." The deacon finally let go, "This is a chessboard specially made by the master. It has its own original rules. It is a new type created by Phantom Heive Company. It has not been announced to the public. I hope Mr. Porter can play it after the game." Keep it a secret for the company." The last sentence was lowered, and when Ren Li walked past the deacon, his low and bewitching voice pierced into the eardrums, "After all, it belongs to the young master."
Ren Li's body froze for a moment, he sat down opposite the young man, and studied the chess set in front of him with great interest.
Charles gave Sebastian a warning look, Sebastian didn't take it seriously, but still bowed his head slightly to apologize for intimidating the guests, and went to make tea skillfully.
The door opened and closed, only Shire and Ren Li were left in the room, Ren Li was relieved.The pressure just now was really great, the voice of the devil and the blood red in the eyes gave him a lot of shock, for a moment Ren Li thought that this mission might just hang here.Fortunately, there are troubles among nobles. As long as you grasp the weakness of worrying about reputation, it will be almost beneficial in the circle of nobles.The premise is that you have a sufficiently distinguished status.
Carelessly fiddling with the chess pieces and briefly explaining how to play chess, Charles finally lifted his spirits and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Have Mr. Poulter heard of the rumors from Lord Street?"
"What's the name of that gang that mainly smuggled tea? It seems to be on Rhodes Street." Ren Li studied the chessboard intently, and answered casually.
"Seal. The leader's name is Sford." Charles blurted out, then paused, "There have been rumors recently that they seem to want to intervene in the opium business, and they seem to be making a lot of noise."
Holding the knight in one hand, Ren Li nodded his chin and frowned, "It's not just fierce, the children in the neighborhood know their reputation, but I heard that they ruined your company a lot... Sorry, I didn't mean to I mentioned it." Finally, Ren Li smiled heartily.
"Then, what does she mean..." Charles didn't care, and asked calmly as he moved the chess pieces casually.
"Children need a safe and healthy environment to grow up, don't they?" Ren Li asked with a smile.
Charles nodded knowingly.A not-so-big gangster fire was finalized in this way.
The roundabout temptation continued, and Ren Li answered methodically, using the most authentic aristocratic accent to make unnecessary circles.Charles seems to be very useful. In terms of going around in circles, the 12-year-old boy also has infinite talent.At this time, Ren Li gave in again and again, and won a lot of benefits for the other party during the negotiation.
Ren Li used his identity as the queen's messenger and personal bodyguard to find Shire this time.This status doesn't cost much points. Compared to the 850 points of Phantomhive's servant, the 100 points of Queen's Messenger and 170 points of Queen's bodyguard are really cheap.This is probably the difference between the protagonist and the supporting role.But it is very beneficial to Ren Li, after all, most of his mission targets are supporting roles.
It has only been three days since I came to this world, Ren Li had a brief contact with the queen, immediately received the mission and ran to the street to watch for Shire's appearance. Strictly speaking, it was really the most concise and clear mission. up.
After all, this is London, and for Ren Li, he is so familiar with the environment that he can no longer be familiar with, so Ren Li made a great plan to complete this S-level task within a week, and pulled out the framework of the plan to implement it step by step. .
Questions raised by Charles can be exchanged for relevant information from the Lord God at any time, and the answers can be answered fluently. Ren Li's ability to play on the spot has improved more and more. He is distracted and dual-purpose to study how to play chess. It has been a long time since Ren Li was studying chess records in the world of martial arts. Days, momentary interest.
During the question-and-answer exchange, the deacon came out to check his presence, thoughtfully left the black tea and snacks, and then retreated.Ren Li sighed with emotion about the life of the bourgeoisie, while enjoying the rare benefits without hesitation.The taste is really good, Ren Li checked the exchange price of the same food at the Lord God, and found that the Lord God's treachery is everywhere.
The exchange fee for such a plate of delicious snacks is actually higher than the exchange fee for the gangster information just now!How embarrassing are you for those smugglers who are working hard and struggling in the front line of the working people, Lord God.
Ren Li suddenly realized that he had found a good teacher and helpful friend who opened the shop, and the Lord God is definitely a competent role model.
Two hours after Pianjia was killed on Ren Li's chessboard, the conversation between the two finally came to an end, and Charles seemed to relax a lot. utility.
At the end of the conversation, Ren Li suddenly smiled and spoke in the final match that both sides agreed to.
"Let's add a bet, Lord Earl?"
"Oh? It's rare that Mr. Poulter still maintains a high interest in playing until now. It really is childlike innocence." Charles narrowed his eyes.
"Believe me, the Earl will also be interested in this proposal." Ren Li continued on his own, "If I lose this game, let me choose two people who must attend tomorrow's banquet list. In this way, the Earl will not suffer no matter what, and I am always very patient with children."
Charles raised his eyebrows and acquiesced to the terms.Leaving aside this dispensable bet, Charles didn't think he would lose in terms of victory or defeat alone, but it was still necessary to sell the Queen a good deal and finally let Porter choose two people to join the banquet list.This is the pride and glory that Patriarch Phantomhive should have.
In 5 minutes, the winner was already divided, and Charles' face was dark.
"Angelina Dares and Elizabeth Midford, please don't break your promise, Earl."
The author has something to say: there is no pain to save the manuscript lw*_*wl
122 Noble Banquet Five
"Angelina Dares and Elizabeth Midford, Earl, please don't break your promise." Ren Li raised the corners of his lips, smiled cunningly, and kept moving his hands. to drop their knights on the chessboard.
Charles' face was sullen, anger and humiliation rose up, as if he wanted to steam someone, and he blocked it on his lips.The young man with a delicate face bit his lips without any trace, and regained his aristocratic demeanor in a moment, and nodded solemnly, "Phantomhive's family must do what it says, please rest assured, Mr. Poulter."
"That's good." Ren Li also recovered his tone at this moment, and no longer entangled too much in the noble language.After completing the expected task and seeing the more distorted expression of the awkward child, Ren Li was in a good mood, immediately threw the white chess piece in his hand indifferently, and yawned in a lack of interest. "Does the count have any plans for the future?" This is a room for sleeping.
Charles restrained his eyes from staying on the appalling chess game, and replied in a deep voice, "If Mr. Poulter needs anything else." His ice-blue eyes still turned to the scattered chessboard, and the army was defeated. The black pawns stabbed Xia Er's eyes deeply, and the anger burned in the ice blue.Was this person just playing with him from the beginning!
"I think what I need most now is a soft bed that is big enough. I wonder if the Earl can let... arrange it?" Ren Li took back the "give up the bedroom" that he almost said and corrected it in time. In the current state, he almost wanted to peel his skin alive, and further demands could only be stopped.Speaking of which, he has already earned a lot of points today, including the collection of Shire, which has already been completed. What is missing now is just one step of contact.
Charles abruptly pulled back his gaze from lingering on the chessboard, nodded calmly, and said in a low voice, "Sebastian."
The deacon in the tuxedo was on call, and entered the room like a ghost, and bowed thoughtfully, "Master."
"Take Mr. Poulter to the guest room to rest." Charles' voice was obviously driving away.
Sebastian responded, smiled and signaled Ren Li with his eyes.Ren Li received the signal, but he was unwilling to give up today's great opportunity to complete the touch task, and deliberately touched the chessboard with his elbow when he stood up.The chessboard that witnessed the fiasco of Shire's game crashed down, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.
"Be careful." Ren Li, who had been prepared for a long time, grabbed Charles' wrist and pulled it back involuntarily, just in time to let the opponent avoid the falling chessboard.The wooden chessboard was still very heavy, and it could make a clear muffled sound when it hit the thick carpet.Of course, in order to put this thing on the ground, Ren Li's elbow was also bruised, and now he is protesting to the owner of the body with dull pain.Ren Li twitched his face, suppressed the pain cruelly, and smiled, "Sorry."
Looking at the mixed black and white chess pieces and the chessboard buckled on the carpet, Charles felt relieved for some reason, inexplicably much more relaxed.But he immediately withdrew his gaze and gave an order without any fluctuation, "Clean it up." Then he turned his head and asked friendlyly, "Is Mr. Poulter injured?"
In the scene just now, it seemed that Ren Li got up and brought it to the table. Naturally, Ren Li couldn't tell others that he touched it on purpose, with a sunny smile on his face, "No, no, thanks to the Earl's quick response."
I don't know where the flattery is slightly low-tech, so no one cares about being present.Charles exchanged a few words and went out early, Sebastian concentrated on picking up the chess pieces, and the moment the door closed, he looked up at Ren Li's eyes, his blood-red eyes were full of interest that he had found a good prey .Terrified, Ren Li immediately took two steps back, pretending to admire the toys in the house.Sebastian finished tidying up neatly, and opened the door with a candlestick in his hand to invite the letter.
The two walked down the dark corridor one after the other.Ren Li forced himself to focus on the calligraphy and paintings in the corridor, but unfortunately this corridor is bare, only some patterns carved on the wall, but the light is too dim to see clearly.
"Mr. Porter is very interested in the walls of the castle?" Suddenly, a magnetic voice drilled into his ears, and Ren Li was shocked and froze. "The castle was completely repaired two years ago, because it was completely destroyed by a big fire, so the castle is very different from the previous house, and the pattern on the wall is one of them." Sebastian suddenly became a chatterbox. General, eloquent, "This pattern was designed by the young master himself. It is a combination of the family crest of Phantomhive and the pattern on Her Majesty's crown. It also contains the names of the young master's parents and the names of important people." Name letters etc..."
Ren Li bite the bullet and listened for a while, but soon became confused.There are too many technical terms, please forgive him, a person who has never done business properly.The road is getting longer and longer, but the deacon seems to have opened up the chatter box, and he can't finish it. The road also seems to be extending forever, and it will never end.
After a while, Ren Li realized something was wrong.The two walked for so long, and Sebastian talked about the history of Britain 400 years ago from a pattern, why didn't he even turn a corner from the beginning to the end!This castle is definitely not that big, Ren Li can still be sure of this, and then think about the fact that the guy next to him is a demon...
Ren Li stopped in his tracks, followed by the deacon who was watching him all the time, and smiled at him gently, "But do you have any doubts about what I just said?"
Ren Li shook his head solemnly, he didn't even know what the deacon was chattering about just now, let alone ask a question.
"That's Mr. Porter, what's the request? As the deacon of Phantomhive, I will satisfy the guests within the best conditions." The deacon said righteously.
"Sebastian?" Ren Li squinted his eyes and read the name with interest.The person whose name was called was unmoved, and looked back frankly.Ren Li continued to pretend to be profound, "Two years ago, he suddenly appeared next to Charles, the young master of the already dilapidated Phantomhive family, and swept the aristocratic circle with an absolutely powerful posture. Something lost. Seems like a decent deacon most of the time, but..."
Sebastian insisted on keeping a decent smile to the end, but the light on the candlestick flickered on and off, making the bottomless corridor even more eerie.
"Someone told me that you are a demon." Ren Li suddenly laughed, the laughter dispelled the terrifying atmosphere, and the air seemed to be much brighter for a moment, Ren Li even felt that he saw a turning wall not far away.Under the deacon's smiling gaze, Ren Li asked curiously, "Is it true?"
"What does Her Majesty mean?" Unexpectedly, the demon did not refute or confirm, but instead asked an irrelevant question.
Ren Li shook his head and replied, "Personal interest."
"Mr. Porter has a wide range of interests." Sebastian tactfully praised Ren Li and admitted indirectly. "So, what is Mr. Poulter, who knows the news, going to do?"
"It should be said what Sebastian is going to do to me." Ren Li showed his cards frankly, "I'm just a human being, and I don't have any ability to resist. Offended?"
Ren Li had paid attention long before he came here, and it was also out of this consideration that he rushed to execute such a loophole-ridden chessboard plan to complete Shire's mission.Who knows if the demon on the road will think that he is not pleasing to the eye and cut it directly. If you complete one earlier and if you can complete the touch when the demon kills, then you have completed two characters.It's not a loss to complete two characters after only three days here, even if you die once.
Unexpectedly again, Sebastian was still gentle and polite, and asked politely, "No, in fact, everything depends on what Mr. Poulter wants to do." Seeing that Ren Li clearly expressed his doubts, the demon continued to explain, "Bolt The arrival of Mr. Walter brought a lot of anger to the castle, especially the young master." The deacon laughed viciously, "I haven't seen such a rich expression on the young master's face for a long time."
The smile on Ren Li's face froze.He repeatedly provoked Shire, and kept running against the Phantomhive family, but in the end he saved his life, just because of a devil's bad taste?It's unpredictable.
"So, I don't know why Mr. Poulter came here this time?" The deacon's words changed abruptly.
"In order to complete the task assigned by Her Majesty the Queen." Ren Li blurted out, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed a lot, coldness rushed to squeeze in through the pores, Ren Li shivered and wisely changed his reason, "At the same time There is also a little reason of my own. Uh... I also know a demon, and he left me a quest."
Ren Li apologized to the Lord God of Variety from the bottom of his heart, and then slandered the Lord God who became a demon.
"The devil told me to come to Phantomhive's castle and take as many things as possible." Ren Li said nonsense, but his eyes were extremely sincere. Years of lying experience is not covered, "At the same time, he gave I have a few characters, let me make contact and collect items from them."
"Oh?" Sebastian looked interested, "What's the name of that demon?"
"Sorry." Ren Li went on sincerely, "He didn't tell me, and I don't know, I'm just running errands." It happened to him, what should I do?Before Ren Li could think about his own use value, the demon opposite him thought of one for him.
"What should I do next, do you know?" Sebastian stared at Ren Li with an expression of "I'm a gentle good devil".Ren Li solemnly stood at attention, "If I get any information, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible..." Ren Li felt that the other party's expression seemed wrong, so he immediately turned the conversation around, "Notify Her Majesty, the wise Her Majesty will Make the right decision." Sebastian's expression became more and more gentle and strange, Ren Li bit the bullet, "I don't think the Earl would mind having an active clown at the banquet tomorrow." The lights turned on and the windows were on.
Ren Li twitched his lips, looked at the door that suddenly appeared in front of him, and heard the faint voice of the deacon behind him, "I think Mr. Poulter can do what he says."
Ren Li put his hand on the doorknob in depression, and suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted at the place where the figure disappeared, "Wait, that demon!"
The figure stopped, and Ren Li was stunned.
Until Sebastian's perfect smiling face appeared in front of Ren Li again, Ren Li confirmed three times whether he was still alive.Doesn't it matter if the devil is discussed?Ren Xin was surprised for a moment, not daring to be negligent on the face, and asked, "Can I touch it, my task, if I can't complete it, the consequences will be dire."
The deacon stared into his eyes with a smile, staring, staring, the blood-red world made Ren Li dizzy, until the pale background with purple lines appeared.Ren Li reacted for a second, flattered to draw a purple pattern.The main god's reminder sounded, and Ren Lisong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head slightly, "Thank you." Then he opened the door and slammed it quickly without waiting for anyone to respond, leaning against the door panel and panting.
Sebastian laughed strangely for a while, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the creaking sound of the door hinge coming from behind the door, and then the guy with a delicate face and a strange personality showed his head, and smiled roguely and quickly He said, "And I'm sorry just now, it's not that demon, it's that honorable Mr. Demon, please don't be upset by my impolite address just now. Here, please allow me to solemnly say sorry sir and good night, good morning, good afternoon, goodbye."
Bang, the door was slammed shut again.
The demon clenched his fist and loosened it with great perseverance, and put on his white gloves again slowly.It's time to change the young master's clothes.
123 Noble Banquet Six
The magnificent hall is equipped with exquisite and luxurious facilities. The tall, well-lit windows are covered by thick curtains, and the entire hall is brightly lit. Numerous large and small lamps and wall lamps support the brightness of the entire hall.The fine patterns carved on the huge chandelier unexpectedly appeared on the carpet in the hall under the refraction of the light, and the circulating light added a faintly ambiguous atmosphere to the already lively hall.
Ren Li stood far away by the door, which was an unobtrusive position.Through the wide open door, Ren Li could easily see the crowded hall with only a few dozens of people.The hall that was so empty in the morning is now much more popular.In the center of the dance floor, men and women catching up in pairs sway their bodies along with the soft music, and the gorgeous clothes and exquisite accessories are dedicated to blinding every pair of eyes that notice them.
The current time is four o'clock in the afternoon, which is not up or down. The dance party has already gone through a round, and the afternoon tea time has just passed, and the rest of the crowd gathers again in twos and threes.It's just that the people who appear now are not very important. The finale will probably appear at six or seven o'clock, when the sky is completely dark.
Dutifully spent the whole morning, Ren Li wandered around the vast castle, blocking the owner of the castle to death.Had the audacity to come to this room after another lunch.Every corner of the hall was observed by him without a trace, and all the preparations in advance were completed.After dancing a few tunes with two or three attractive women, Ren Li left the place in a hurry while having afternoon tea.
To Ren Li, the prom seems to be a little strange to say, but if it is not unfamiliar... the only few times he has participated in the prom is when he was in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.But it's a pity that at that time, he was so focused on modifying the fate of his friends that he never really put his mind to it at the ball.I remember that people laughed at him for not being able to find a female partner. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, after actually dancing with a woman at the ball, Ren Li was still quite emotional.
Speaking of which, after so many years, why hasn't the idea of being with someone appeared?
After Ren Li was drinking afternoon tea and saw the interaction between the boy and the deacon, he suddenly raised this question inappropriately.
It is undeniable that Ren Li is very old.Perhaps the constant traveling around the world is the reason for Ren Li's emotional problems, but for so many years, he has never had such things as love, passion, and desire. Now thinking about it, it's unbelievable!
The most frightening thing is why he never had such an idea before!He has never lacked all kinds of lovers by his side.Whether it was Harry and Ginny, or Slicker and Sakura, even Weber in the previous world, there were many girls who had a crush on this single-minded kid who only knew how to study magic and asked him to send love letters. Li also made fun of Weber.From the beginning to the end, he has never been troubled by his emotional problems, as if... He has no feelings.
Ren Li squinted his eyes, and the tacit interaction between the master and servant came to mind again, and Ren Li couldn't help being fascinated by the wholehearted trust between them.He thought he might have found the reason why he had been avoiding this sharp question all along.
Maybe it's the reason why I can't tell the whole story. The "Employee Handbook" states that it is forbidden to mention the main god and its related existence to any character who travels through the world.This one was firmly engraved in his mind, like the sword of Damox, hanging above his head all the time.Under such psychological pressure, Ren Li became a machine-like existence focused on completing tasks, so how could he be distracted by those emotional matters?
It's just...it's really lonely.
How many years has it been.Ren Li's eyes fell on the swaying dance floor, all kinds of men and women released their youthful vitality, and the burning life was colorful and beautiful. In 50 years, 60 years, and the future, I don't know how many years until he gets the store, will he be constrained by this rule and let himself walk alone on the road?
Maybe, maybe he can try to become a partner with a person in a world, spend the sweet five or sixty years with that person, watch that person grow old, accompany that person to grow old, and then leave and start again.
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Ren Li's mind, and was immediately pressed down to the deepest part of his heart.That's not what he wanted.Ren Li will always be persistent in inexplicable places, just like he refrained himself from exchanging things other than intelligence items from the Lord God after exchanging for the first time internal force medicine, he would not allow himself to make such a cowardly escape Behavior.
Since you have chosen this path, you must persist, even if there is only one person!
Besides, he's not alone, is he?On this road, he has already forged countless fetters, friends, masters, apprentices, friends, enemies, rivals, no matter which one is enough for him to kill the emptiness and loneliness brought about by walking alone.Compared with this, the existence of a lover may not really be that important.Of course, it is more likely that he has not yet met the person who would make him give up everything.
With his awkward temperament, he must not really decide on the only existence before he gets the store.Ren Li raised his smile and broke into the luxurious dance floor vigorously. His well-proportioned figure and delicate face immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.He slid lightly in front of a lady, bowed gracefully and stretched out his right hand. The lady smiled gently and shyly slid into the dance floor with him.
One after another, he was inquiring about the information on the dance floor. With the lights flickering, Ren Li stared at the beauty in front of him in a daze for a moment.In any case, I am always curious, what kind of person will my future self find to be with me for the rest of my life?Is a gentle and caring girl?Or a heroic woman?Thinking of this, for some reason, Ren Li suddenly had a thought that perhaps a man would accompany him for the rest of his life.
An ordinary man who doesn't talk much, listens quietly to him telling stories about the long journey, allows him to play various pranks on the guests, and helps him to prank the visitors he doesn't like.He doesn't need to be too beautiful, doesn't know how to talk sweetly, and doesn't like to intrigue, what he has is just a long flow of water and eternal companionship.
Ren Li sent the lady back, turned around to get a glass of wine for himself, and sighed inwardly.Such an existence is probably only possible through a contract.Absolute loyalty, just like the pair of master and servant in this castle, that is what he desires.
This kind of contract can be met but cannot be sought, and if the other party is not voluntary, it will have no meaning at all, it is entirely dependent on fate and God's will.Fortunately, he has enough time to meet his fate.Ren Li is quite confident about the existence of the main god and the function of the store in the future.
The happy time is always short, when the owner of the castle finally appeared in the hall, the atmosphere of the ball was pushed to j□j.
Ren Li seized the opportunity to ask for a dance, but was "rejected" by the boy who was about to explode, so Ren Li turned to ask the deacon next to the boy to dance, and stared at those red eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling for two seconds An hour later, Ren Li consciously laughed and gave up.
After a commotion, Ren Li turned to look at the door.The golden and blue-eyed little ghost lady strode over energetically, and threw herself straight into the boy's arms. "Char." The sweet voice made Ren Li step back consciously.Interfering with an unmarried couple is punishable by God.
The whirlwind brought by Miss Midford has not stopped, and there is another commotion immediately.The dazzling and flamboyant red hit the eyeballs and instantly took control of the brain. The stunning beauty and forceful style took away the sight of most of the men present.
Ren Li sipped the wine in his glass, and smiled as he watched the earl greet everyone with ease, and the deacon beside him was always able to touch the embarrassment just right for his master and enliven the atmosphere.The atmosphere around the owner of the castle was harmonious, and he received a bunch of worthless compliments in a short time.
Seeing that the greetings over there were almost done, and the tenderness with his fiancée was enough, Ren Li casually leaned over, took over the topic of discussion very naturally, and threw himself into the circle of the power center with ease.
Charles just glanced at him lightly, and then dutifully introduced Ren Li.Without losing the opportunity to make a few jokes, Ren Li integrated into the circle at an unbelievable speed.Just kidding, this is his professional skill, and he has already mastered the full level of communication skills.Taking advantage of his unique advantages, Ren Li completed the task of contacting the two mission figures without much effort.
The host and guests of the next banquet had a good time, and there was an excellent deacon in Phantomhive's family.This deacon is strong enough to solve any possible emergencies by himself.From the falling of the chandelier to the pouring of the wine glasses, the handsome and handsome Mr. Deacon can always handle the incident perfectly in the first time and ensure the smooth progress of the dance.
What makes Ren Li depressed is that he obviously just poured a glass of wine to complete Elizabeth's collection task. The chandelier was definitely not done by him, but after handling the chandelier, the dangerous deacon immediately gave him a warning eyes.
This is a scapegoat, a little wronged.Obviously it was because when Finian moved the chandelier in the morning, he bumped into the wall several times with great force and knocked the ring down.
It's rare for Ren Li not to criticize again at this time. Although food will not play a big role in stopping the conspiracy, it can at least stop one or two. The dinner party had a good time, and Ren Li tasted all the sweets on the table. Satisfied, he put down the knife and fork, and waited for the master to plan the next arrangement.
"It's really delicious food. I think there is a perfect butler in Phantom Heywe's family." Ren Li didn't hesitate to praise him.
"Sebastian." The young head of the house didn't show any joy because of this, and reminded the deacon calmly.
The man in the tuxedo bowed gracefully, with a smile on his lips, "I'm just a deacon."
The skillful and chilling use of puns.
Ren Li preemptively postponed the night's sleep time and asked for a sideshow, "One dinner has already opened my eyes. I don't know what surprises the Earl is waiting for Porter tonight?"
Charles frowned unobtrusively, and stood up gracefully with movements that even the strictest etiquette teacher could not find a single fault, "Naturally, he will not disappoint Mr. Porter's expectations."
Ren Li got up, looked at the unfinished dessert reluctantly, and waited for the moment when the other two people in the hall turned around and out of sight, they swept the dessert into their pockets as if no one was there——in the space, they exchanged it into points unceremoniously.Looking up again, Ren Li was looking into his scarlet eyes, the smile that was not a smile made Ren Li break out in cold sweat, but he looked back with a puzzled smile on his face.
How about I just take your stuff and still take it in front of you?
The eyes expressing such wishes were sent over, and Ren Li's rascality deepened. As expected, the deacon turned around to lead the way for the guests as if nothing had happened.The moment he looked away from his body, Ren Li felt a sense of loss of strength, and fearfully put the plate that he planned to go along with him back on the table.
It seemed that the deacon didn't object to him doing some tricks to entertain the public, but there was a limit to everything, and he seemed to be reaching the deacon's bottom line.
Ren Li thought about it all the way, and occasionally smiled and praised the layout and decoration of the castle. His words were full of admiration, and he always mentioned the fire two years ago intentionally or unintentionally, and kept making disgusting comparisons.The Patriarch's extraordinary endurance was displayed, and Xia Erben's indifferent attitude was even more icy. It was hard for the child to maintain the superficial politeness and not directly vent his dissatisfaction.
Turning left and right, Rao Ren Li has a strong memory, and now he is also in the castle and lost his head.The three of them stopped in front of a door that they didn't know whether they had entered before, and Ren Li stepped into the room under Charles' provocative gaze.
It is simply a children's paradise.
In a room as large as a 50-person classroom, except for an open space in the center that is roughly the size of four tables put together, there are all kinds of toys hanging on the shelves, floor, and ceiling around it.If you let a real toy-loving child walk into this room, he would probably jump screaming.
Ren Li expressed his surprise in time, and kept saying "As expected of the Phantomhive family", "Is this your toy room?" and other exclamations, and couldn't wait to break into the toy room world.Ren Li is obviously more interested in plush toys, especially small plush toys. He keeps lingering in front of the shelf with plush toys, and occasionally ravages a toy, and the furry touch makes him laugh happily.
It's a bit like that grumpy monster who likes to drink and eat steamed stuffed buns, oh no, it's a beckoning cat.
It is always pleasant to recall the departure of a friend.
In contrast, another real child in the room had a gloomy face, went straight to the sofa in the middle of the room and sat down, and ordered coldly, "Bring my chess."
"Yes, mylord." The black-haired deacon responded.
Ren Li, who had recovered from his memories, took the opportunity to stuff two or three small gadgets into the space. Anyway, even the Patriarch wouldn't care about these details, and he didn't take them for nothing.
"Mr. Poulter," suddenly, a gentle and magnetic voice rang in his ears, causing Ren Li's hands to tremble in shock, and the puppet that was about to be stuffed into the space fell to the ground.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ren Li said quickly, and without waiting for anyone to move, he squatted down and picked up the puppet without putting it on the shelf. Then he turned around and looked at the other party innocently, "You called me just now... What's the matter?"
The battle-tested deacon seemed shocked by such a shameless, rascal and thick-skinned person. He suppressed the words he wanted to say twice, and his decent smile loosened a bit, looking stiff and insubstantial.Of course, this can't conceal the deacon's handsome appearance. No matter what expression the deacon makes, he looks handsome and chic.
"What's the matter...Wow, this is chess? Am I lucky enough to have a bloody and passionate game with the Earl?" Ren Li couldn't bear the deacon's rare silence, and changed the subject with a lame laugh.
"Yes." The deacon finally let go, "This is a chessboard specially made by the master. It has its own original rules. It is a new type created by Phantom Heive Company. It has not been announced to the public. I hope Mr. Porter can play it after the game." Keep it a secret for the company." The last sentence was lowered, and when Ren Li walked past the deacon, his low and bewitching voice pierced into the eardrums, "After all, it belongs to the young master."
Ren Li's body froze for a moment, he sat down opposite the young man, and studied the chess set in front of him with great interest.
Charles gave Sebastian a warning look, Sebastian didn't take it seriously, but still bowed his head slightly to apologize for intimidating the guests, and went to make tea skillfully.
The door opened and closed, only Shire and Ren Li were left in the room, Ren Li was relieved.The pressure just now was really great, the voice of the devil and the blood red in the eyes gave him a lot of shock, for a moment Ren Li thought that this mission might just hang here.Fortunately, there are troubles among nobles. As long as you grasp the weakness of worrying about reputation, it will be almost beneficial in the circle of nobles.The premise is that you have a sufficiently distinguished status.
Carelessly fiddling with the chess pieces and briefly explaining how to play chess, Charles finally lifted his spirits and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Have Mr. Poulter heard of the rumors from Lord Street?"
"What's the name of that gang that mainly smuggled tea? It seems to be on Rhodes Street." Ren Li studied the chessboard intently, and answered casually.
"Seal. The leader's name is Sford." Charles blurted out, then paused, "There have been rumors recently that they seem to want to intervene in the opium business, and they seem to be making a lot of noise."
Holding the knight in one hand, Ren Li nodded his chin and frowned, "It's not just fierce, the children in the neighborhood know their reputation, but I heard that they ruined your company a lot... Sorry, I didn't mean to I mentioned it." Finally, Ren Li smiled heartily.
"Then, what does she mean..." Charles didn't care, and asked calmly as he moved the chess pieces casually.
"Children need a safe and healthy environment to grow up, don't they?" Ren Li asked with a smile.
Charles nodded knowingly.A not-so-big gangster fire was finalized in this way.
The roundabout temptation continued, and Ren Li answered methodically, using the most authentic aristocratic accent to make unnecessary circles.Charles seems to be very useful. In terms of going around in circles, the 12-year-old boy also has infinite talent.At this time, Ren Li gave in again and again, and won a lot of benefits for the other party during the negotiation.
Ren Li used his identity as the queen's messenger and personal bodyguard to find Shire this time.This status doesn't cost much points. Compared to the 850 points of Phantomhive's servant, the 100 points of Queen's Messenger and 170 points of Queen's bodyguard are really cheap.This is probably the difference between the protagonist and the supporting role.But it is very beneficial to Ren Li, after all, most of his mission targets are supporting roles.
It has only been three days since I came to this world, Ren Li had a brief contact with the queen, immediately received the mission and ran to the street to watch for Shire's appearance. Strictly speaking, it was really the most concise and clear mission. up.
After all, this is London, and for Ren Li, he is so familiar with the environment that he can no longer be familiar with, so Ren Li made a great plan to complete this S-level task within a week, and pulled out the framework of the plan to implement it step by step. .
Questions raised by Charles can be exchanged for relevant information from the Lord God at any time, and the answers can be answered fluently. Ren Li's ability to play on the spot has improved more and more. He is distracted and dual-purpose to study how to play chess. It has been a long time since Ren Li was studying chess records in the world of martial arts. Days, momentary interest.
During the question-and-answer exchange, the deacon came out to check his presence, thoughtfully left the black tea and snacks, and then retreated.Ren Li sighed with emotion about the life of the bourgeoisie, while enjoying the rare benefits without hesitation.The taste is really good, Ren Li checked the exchange price of the same food at the Lord God, and found that the Lord God's treachery is everywhere.
The exchange fee for such a plate of delicious snacks is actually higher than the exchange fee for the gangster information just now!How embarrassing are you for those smugglers who are working hard and struggling in the front line of the working people, Lord God.
Ren Li suddenly realized that he had found a good teacher and helpful friend who opened the shop, and the Lord God is definitely a competent role model.
Two hours after Pianjia was killed on Ren Li's chessboard, the conversation between the two finally came to an end, and Charles seemed to relax a lot. utility.
At the end of the conversation, Ren Li suddenly smiled and spoke in the final match that both sides agreed to.
"Let's add a bet, Lord Earl?"
"Oh? It's rare that Mr. Poulter still maintains a high interest in playing until now. It really is childlike innocence." Charles narrowed his eyes.
"Believe me, the Earl will also be interested in this proposal." Ren Li continued on his own, "If I lose this game, let me choose two people who must attend tomorrow's banquet list. In this way, the Earl will not suffer no matter what, and I am always very patient with children."
Charles raised his eyebrows and acquiesced to the terms.Leaving aside this dispensable bet, Charles didn't think he would lose in terms of victory or defeat alone, but it was still necessary to sell the Queen a good deal and finally let Porter choose two people to join the banquet list.This is the pride and glory that Patriarch Phantomhive should have.
In 5 minutes, the winner was already divided, and Charles' face was dark.
"Angelina Dares and Elizabeth Midford, please don't break your promise, Earl."
The author has something to say: there is no pain to save the manuscript lw*_*wl
122 Noble Banquet Five
"Angelina Dares and Elizabeth Midford, Earl, please don't break your promise." Ren Li raised the corners of his lips, smiled cunningly, and kept moving his hands. to drop their knights on the chessboard.
Charles' face was sullen, anger and humiliation rose up, as if he wanted to steam someone, and he blocked it on his lips.The young man with a delicate face bit his lips without any trace, and regained his aristocratic demeanor in a moment, and nodded solemnly, "Phantomhive's family must do what it says, please rest assured, Mr. Poulter."
"That's good." Ren Li also recovered his tone at this moment, and no longer entangled too much in the noble language.After completing the expected task and seeing the more distorted expression of the awkward child, Ren Li was in a good mood, immediately threw the white chess piece in his hand indifferently, and yawned in a lack of interest. "Does the count have any plans for the future?" This is a room for sleeping.
Charles restrained his eyes from staying on the appalling chess game, and replied in a deep voice, "If Mr. Poulter needs anything else." His ice-blue eyes still turned to the scattered chessboard, and the army was defeated. The black pawns stabbed Xia Er's eyes deeply, and the anger burned in the ice blue.Was this person just playing with him from the beginning!
"I think what I need most now is a soft bed that is big enough. I wonder if the Earl can let... arrange it?" Ren Li took back the "give up the bedroom" that he almost said and corrected it in time. In the current state, he almost wanted to peel his skin alive, and further demands could only be stopped.Speaking of which, he has already earned a lot of points today, including the collection of Shire, which has already been completed. What is missing now is just one step of contact.
Charles abruptly pulled back his gaze from lingering on the chessboard, nodded calmly, and said in a low voice, "Sebastian."
The deacon in the tuxedo was on call, and entered the room like a ghost, and bowed thoughtfully, "Master."
"Take Mr. Poulter to the guest room to rest." Charles' voice was obviously driving away.
Sebastian responded, smiled and signaled Ren Li with his eyes.Ren Li received the signal, but he was unwilling to give up today's great opportunity to complete the touch task, and deliberately touched the chessboard with his elbow when he stood up.The chessboard that witnessed the fiasco of Shire's game crashed down, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.
"Be careful." Ren Li, who had been prepared for a long time, grabbed Charles' wrist and pulled it back involuntarily, just in time to let the opponent avoid the falling chessboard.The wooden chessboard was still very heavy, and it could make a clear muffled sound when it hit the thick carpet.Of course, in order to put this thing on the ground, Ren Li's elbow was also bruised, and now he is protesting to the owner of the body with dull pain.Ren Li twitched his face, suppressed the pain cruelly, and smiled, "Sorry."
Looking at the mixed black and white chess pieces and the chessboard buckled on the carpet, Charles felt relieved for some reason, inexplicably much more relaxed.But he immediately withdrew his gaze and gave an order without any fluctuation, "Clean it up." Then he turned his head and asked friendlyly, "Is Mr. Poulter injured?"
In the scene just now, it seemed that Ren Li got up and brought it to the table. Naturally, Ren Li couldn't tell others that he touched it on purpose, with a sunny smile on his face, "No, no, thanks to the Earl's quick response."
I don't know where the flattery is slightly low-tech, so no one cares about being present.Charles exchanged a few words and went out early, Sebastian concentrated on picking up the chess pieces, and the moment the door closed, he looked up at Ren Li's eyes, his blood-red eyes were full of interest that he had found a good prey .Terrified, Ren Li immediately took two steps back, pretending to admire the toys in the house.Sebastian finished tidying up neatly, and opened the door with a candlestick in his hand to invite the letter.
The two walked down the dark corridor one after the other.Ren Li forced himself to focus on the calligraphy and paintings in the corridor, but unfortunately this corridor is bare, only some patterns carved on the wall, but the light is too dim to see clearly.
"Mr. Porter is very interested in the walls of the castle?" Suddenly, a magnetic voice drilled into his ears, and Ren Li was shocked and froze. "The castle was completely repaired two years ago, because it was completely destroyed by a big fire, so the castle is very different from the previous house, and the pattern on the wall is one of them." Sebastian suddenly became a chatterbox. General, eloquent, "This pattern was designed by the young master himself. It is a combination of the family crest of Phantomhive and the pattern on Her Majesty's crown. It also contains the names of the young master's parents and the names of important people." Name letters etc..."
Ren Li bite the bullet and listened for a while, but soon became confused.There are too many technical terms, please forgive him, a person who has never done business properly.The road is getting longer and longer, but the deacon seems to have opened up the chatter box, and he can't finish it. The road also seems to be extending forever, and it will never end.
After a while, Ren Li realized something was wrong.The two walked for so long, and Sebastian talked about the history of Britain 400 years ago from a pattern, why didn't he even turn a corner from the beginning to the end!This castle is definitely not that big, Ren Li can still be sure of this, and then think about the fact that the guy next to him is a demon...
Ren Li stopped in his tracks, followed by the deacon who was watching him all the time, and smiled at him gently, "But do you have any doubts about what I just said?"
Ren Li shook his head solemnly, he didn't even know what the deacon was chattering about just now, let alone ask a question.
"That's Mr. Porter, what's the request? As the deacon of Phantomhive, I will satisfy the guests within the best conditions." The deacon said righteously.
"Sebastian?" Ren Li squinted his eyes and read the name with interest.The person whose name was called was unmoved, and looked back frankly.Ren Li continued to pretend to be profound, "Two years ago, he suddenly appeared next to Charles, the young master of the already dilapidated Phantomhive family, and swept the aristocratic circle with an absolutely powerful posture. Something lost. Seems like a decent deacon most of the time, but..."
Sebastian insisted on keeping a decent smile to the end, but the light on the candlestick flickered on and off, making the bottomless corridor even more eerie.
"Someone told me that you are a demon." Ren Li suddenly laughed, the laughter dispelled the terrifying atmosphere, and the air seemed to be much brighter for a moment, Ren Li even felt that he saw a turning wall not far away.Under the deacon's smiling gaze, Ren Li asked curiously, "Is it true?"
"What does Her Majesty mean?" Unexpectedly, the demon did not refute or confirm, but instead asked an irrelevant question.
Ren Li shook his head and replied, "Personal interest."
"Mr. Porter has a wide range of interests." Sebastian tactfully praised Ren Li and admitted indirectly. "So, what is Mr. Poulter, who knows the news, going to do?"
"It should be said what Sebastian is going to do to me." Ren Li showed his cards frankly, "I'm just a human being, and I don't have any ability to resist. Offended?"
Ren Li had paid attention long before he came here, and it was also out of this consideration that he rushed to execute such a loophole-ridden chessboard plan to complete Shire's mission.Who knows if the demon on the road will think that he is not pleasing to the eye and cut it directly. If you complete one earlier and if you can complete the touch when the demon kills, then you have completed two characters.It's not a loss to complete two characters after only three days here, even if you die once.
Unexpectedly again, Sebastian was still gentle and polite, and asked politely, "No, in fact, everything depends on what Mr. Poulter wants to do." Seeing that Ren Li clearly expressed his doubts, the demon continued to explain, "Bolt The arrival of Mr. Walter brought a lot of anger to the castle, especially the young master." The deacon laughed viciously, "I haven't seen such a rich expression on the young master's face for a long time."
The smile on Ren Li's face froze.He repeatedly provoked Shire, and kept running against the Phantomhive family, but in the end he saved his life, just because of a devil's bad taste?It's unpredictable.
"So, I don't know why Mr. Poulter came here this time?" The deacon's words changed abruptly.
"In order to complete the task assigned by Her Majesty the Queen." Ren Li blurted out, suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed a lot, coldness rushed to squeeze in through the pores, Ren Li shivered and wisely changed his reason, "At the same time There is also a little reason of my own. Uh... I also know a demon, and he left me a quest."
Ren Li apologized to the Lord God of Variety from the bottom of his heart, and then slandered the Lord God who became a demon.
"The devil told me to come to Phantomhive's castle and take as many things as possible." Ren Li said nonsense, but his eyes were extremely sincere. Years of lying experience is not covered, "At the same time, he gave I have a few characters, let me make contact and collect items from them."
"Oh?" Sebastian looked interested, "What's the name of that demon?"
"Sorry." Ren Li went on sincerely, "He didn't tell me, and I don't know, I'm just running errands." It happened to him, what should I do?Before Ren Li could think about his own use value, the demon opposite him thought of one for him.
"What should I do next, do you know?" Sebastian stared at Ren Li with an expression of "I'm a gentle good devil".Ren Li solemnly stood at attention, "If I get any information, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible..." Ren Li felt that the other party's expression seemed wrong, so he immediately turned the conversation around, "Notify Her Majesty, the wise Her Majesty will Make the right decision." Sebastian's expression became more and more gentle and strange, Ren Li bit the bullet, "I don't think the Earl would mind having an active clown at the banquet tomorrow." The lights turned on and the windows were on.
Ren Li twitched his lips, looked at the door that suddenly appeared in front of him, and heard the faint voice of the deacon behind him, "I think Mr. Poulter can do what he says."
Ren Li put his hand on the doorknob in depression, and suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted at the place where the figure disappeared, "Wait, that demon!"
The figure stopped, and Ren Li was stunned.
Until Sebastian's perfect smiling face appeared in front of Ren Li again, Ren Li confirmed three times whether he was still alive.Doesn't it matter if the devil is discussed?Ren Xin was surprised for a moment, not daring to be negligent on the face, and asked, "Can I touch it, my task, if I can't complete it, the consequences will be dire."
The deacon stared into his eyes with a smile, staring, staring, the blood-red world made Ren Li dizzy, until the pale background with purple lines appeared.Ren Li reacted for a second, flattered to draw a purple pattern.The main god's reminder sounded, and Ren Lisong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head slightly, "Thank you." Then he opened the door and slammed it quickly without waiting for anyone to respond, leaning against the door panel and panting.
Sebastian laughed strangely for a while, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the creaking sound of the door hinge coming from behind the door, and then the guy with a delicate face and a strange personality showed his head, and smiled roguely and quickly He said, "And I'm sorry just now, it's not that demon, it's that honorable Mr. Demon, please don't be upset by my impolite address just now. Here, please allow me to solemnly say sorry sir and good night, good morning, good afternoon, goodbye."
Bang, the door was slammed shut again.
The demon clenched his fist and loosened it with great perseverance, and put on his white gloves again slowly.It's time to change the young master's clothes.
123 Noble Banquet Six
The magnificent hall is equipped with exquisite and luxurious facilities. The tall, well-lit windows are covered by thick curtains, and the entire hall is brightly lit. Numerous large and small lamps and wall lamps support the brightness of the entire hall.The fine patterns carved on the huge chandelier unexpectedly appeared on the carpet in the hall under the refraction of the light, and the circulating light added a faintly ambiguous atmosphere to the already lively hall.
Ren Li stood far away by the door, which was an unobtrusive position.Through the wide open door, Ren Li could easily see the crowded hall with only a few dozens of people.The hall that was so empty in the morning is now much more popular.In the center of the dance floor, men and women catching up in pairs sway their bodies along with the soft music, and the gorgeous clothes and exquisite accessories are dedicated to blinding every pair of eyes that notice them.
The current time is four o'clock in the afternoon, which is not up or down. The dance party has already gone through a round, and the afternoon tea time has just passed, and the rest of the crowd gathers again in twos and threes.It's just that the people who appear now are not very important. The finale will probably appear at six or seven o'clock, when the sky is completely dark.
Dutifully spent the whole morning, Ren Li wandered around the vast castle, blocking the owner of the castle to death.Had the audacity to come to this room after another lunch.Every corner of the hall was observed by him without a trace, and all the preparations in advance were completed.After dancing a few tunes with two or three attractive women, Ren Li left the place in a hurry while having afternoon tea.
To Ren Li, the prom seems to be a little strange to say, but if it is not unfamiliar... the only few times he has participated in the prom is when he was in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.But it's a pity that at that time, he was so focused on modifying the fate of his friends that he never really put his mind to it at the ball.I remember that people laughed at him for not being able to find a female partner. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, after actually dancing with a woman at the ball, Ren Li was still quite emotional.
Speaking of which, after so many years, why hasn't the idea of being with someone appeared?
After Ren Li was drinking afternoon tea and saw the interaction between the boy and the deacon, he suddenly raised this question inappropriately.
It is undeniable that Ren Li is very old.Perhaps the constant traveling around the world is the reason for Ren Li's emotional problems, but for so many years, he has never had such things as love, passion, and desire. Now thinking about it, it's unbelievable!
The most frightening thing is why he never had such an idea before!He has never lacked all kinds of lovers by his side.Whether it was Harry and Ginny, or Slicker and Sakura, even Weber in the previous world, there were many girls who had a crush on this single-minded kid who only knew how to study magic and asked him to send love letters. Li also made fun of Weber.From the beginning to the end, he has never been troubled by his emotional problems, as if... He has no feelings.
Ren Li squinted his eyes, and the tacit interaction between the master and servant came to mind again, and Ren Li couldn't help being fascinated by the wholehearted trust between them.He thought he might have found the reason why he had been avoiding this sharp question all along.
Maybe it's the reason why I can't tell the whole story. The "Employee Handbook" states that it is forbidden to mention the main god and its related existence to any character who travels through the world.This one was firmly engraved in his mind, like the sword of Damox, hanging above his head all the time.Under such psychological pressure, Ren Li became a machine-like existence focused on completing tasks, so how could he be distracted by those emotional matters?
It's just...it's really lonely.
How many years has it been.Ren Li's eyes fell on the swaying dance floor, all kinds of men and women released their youthful vitality, and the burning life was colorful and beautiful. In 50 years, 60 years, and the future, I don't know how many years until he gets the store, will he be constrained by this rule and let himself walk alone on the road?
Maybe, maybe he can try to become a partner with a person in a world, spend the sweet five or sixty years with that person, watch that person grow old, accompany that person to grow old, and then leave and start again.
Such a thought suddenly popped up in Ren Li's mind, and was immediately pressed down to the deepest part of his heart.That's not what he wanted.Ren Li will always be persistent in inexplicable places, just like he refrained himself from exchanging things other than intelligence items from the Lord God after exchanging for the first time internal force medicine, he would not allow himself to make such a cowardly escape Behavior.
Since you have chosen this path, you must persist, even if there is only one person!
Besides, he's not alone, is he?On this road, he has already forged countless fetters, friends, masters, apprentices, friends, enemies, rivals, no matter which one is enough for him to kill the emptiness and loneliness brought about by walking alone.Compared with this, the existence of a lover may not really be that important.Of course, it is more likely that he has not yet met the person who would make him give up everything.
With his awkward temperament, he must not really decide on the only existence before he gets the store.Ren Li raised his smile and broke into the luxurious dance floor vigorously. His well-proportioned figure and delicate face immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.He slid lightly in front of a lady, bowed gracefully and stretched out his right hand. The lady smiled gently and shyly slid into the dance floor with him.
One after another, he was inquiring about the information on the dance floor. With the lights flickering, Ren Li stared at the beauty in front of him in a daze for a moment.In any case, I am always curious, what kind of person will my future self find to be with me for the rest of my life?Is a gentle and caring girl?Or a heroic woman?Thinking of this, for some reason, Ren Li suddenly had a thought that perhaps a man would accompany him for the rest of his life.
An ordinary man who doesn't talk much, listens quietly to him telling stories about the long journey, allows him to play various pranks on the guests, and helps him to prank the visitors he doesn't like.He doesn't need to be too beautiful, doesn't know how to talk sweetly, and doesn't like to intrigue, what he has is just a long flow of water and eternal companionship.
Ren Li sent the lady back, turned around to get a glass of wine for himself, and sighed inwardly.Such an existence is probably only possible through a contract.Absolute loyalty, just like the pair of master and servant in this castle, that is what he desires.
This kind of contract can be met but cannot be sought, and if the other party is not voluntary, it will have no meaning at all, it is entirely dependent on fate and God's will.Fortunately, he has enough time to meet his fate.Ren Li is quite confident about the existence of the main god and the function of the store in the future.
The happy time is always short, when the owner of the castle finally appeared in the hall, the atmosphere of the ball was pushed to j□j.
Ren Li seized the opportunity to ask for a dance, but was "rejected" by the boy who was about to explode, so Ren Li turned to ask the deacon next to the boy to dance, and stared at those red eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling for two seconds An hour later, Ren Li consciously laughed and gave up.
After a commotion, Ren Li turned to look at the door.The golden and blue-eyed little ghost lady strode over energetically, and threw herself straight into the boy's arms. "Char." The sweet voice made Ren Li step back consciously.Interfering with an unmarried couple is punishable by God.
The whirlwind brought by Miss Midford has not stopped, and there is another commotion immediately.The dazzling and flamboyant red hit the eyeballs and instantly took control of the brain. The stunning beauty and forceful style took away the sight of most of the men present.
Ren Li sipped the wine in his glass, and smiled as he watched the earl greet everyone with ease, and the deacon beside him was always able to touch the embarrassment just right for his master and enliven the atmosphere.The atmosphere around the owner of the castle was harmonious, and he received a bunch of worthless compliments in a short time.
Seeing that the greetings over there were almost done, and the tenderness with his fiancée was enough, Ren Li casually leaned over, took over the topic of discussion very naturally, and threw himself into the circle of the power center with ease.
Charles just glanced at him lightly, and then dutifully introduced Ren Li.Without losing the opportunity to make a few jokes, Ren Li integrated into the circle at an unbelievable speed.Just kidding, this is his professional skill, and he has already mastered the full level of communication skills.Taking advantage of his unique advantages, Ren Li completed the task of contacting the two mission figures without much effort.
The host and guests of the next banquet had a good time, and there was an excellent deacon in Phantomhive's family.This deacon is strong enough to solve any possible emergencies by himself.From the falling of the chandelier to the pouring of the wine glasses, the handsome and handsome Mr. Deacon can always handle the incident perfectly in the first time and ensure the smooth progress of the dance.
What makes Ren Li depressed is that he obviously just poured a glass of wine to complete Elizabeth's collection task. The chandelier was definitely not done by him, but after handling the chandelier, the dangerous deacon immediately gave him a warning eyes.
This is a scapegoat, a little wronged.Obviously it was because when Finian moved the chandelier in the morning, he bumped into the wall several times with great force and knocked the ring down.
