Hearing this voice, the two looked up.
Lax lay lazily on the railing, with a slight sneer on her face: "Little white face, stop dreaming, I'm not interested in you, you can go back wherever you came from."
Beta looked at Nastedt with questioning eyes, and the latter said embarrassedly: "This is my daughter Lacus, she seems to have misunderstood you."
Beta said oh, and after saying hello, she entered the city lord's mansion, went up to the third floor, and returned to her room.
Nadette said helplessly: "Lax, be a lady, don't go too far, Your Excellency Cook is not a servant, nor a slave."
Lacus snorted, not quite believing his father's words: "I know he's not a servant or a slave, he's probably someone you've found to be my husband, but I'm really not interested in these trash. My man, If it's not a prince, then it must be one of those powerful warriors among the knights, or a knight. What does he have a bad face for?"
Nadette originally wanted the two of them to develop a little bit, but after seeing her daughter's situation, she decided to forget it. He said helplessly: "All right, I won't match him and you, but don't insult Cook any more. If you provoke him and get taught by him, I won't help you."
"He dares!"
Lacus sneered and left from the balcony.
Beta returned to the room and made a few less-than-perfect scrolls. Just as she was about to rest for a while, she heard a knock on the door. When she opened the door, Robben's face, which was not handsome but rather obscene, appeared in front of.
"Our third group is going to have a celebration in the morning of the big house, Cook, come with us."
Hearing this, Beta naturally wanted to participate. Even if he pretended to be Cook, he had to establish a good relationship with these people. After all, there was no direct conflict of interest.
The other four people were already waiting in the big house, and the big dining table in the middle was filled with food, fruit, and some sour wine.
There is no such thing as distilled alcohol in this world. There are quite a few players who can do it, but Beta can't.
Besides, as a spellcaster, he doesn't like to drink too much alcohol, which will have a great impact on his mental power.
But most of the time, a banquet is all about an atmosphere, whether the food is good or not is not important, as long as it is lively.
Although the acidity of the wine was several times, but these people drank too much, and it was inevitable that they would be a little bit over the top. The fighter has a high physique and a strong hangover ability, so he is not easy to get drunk, but for two agility professions like Heidi and Xiong, his eyes are already a little wobbly.
The six of them were eating, drinking and making a fuss, which seemed extremely noisy. It might be due to the fact that they were drinking too much. Heidi suddenly sat next to Beta, hugged him and leaned almost on his body, and said, "Ku Ke, to be honest, you are quite likable, if I were ten years younger, I would definitely win over you, but now that I am old, I am not as beautiful as before, and you don't like me anymore."
"Heidi, you are still very beautiful." Beta complimented: "It's just that I have someone in my heart, otherwise I will definitely fall in love with you."
A group of people next to him booed: "Kiss one, kiss one."
Hahahahaha! Heidi laughed so hard that she leaned forward and backward, her flowers trembling, she left Beta's place and sat back in her chair.
Beta felt it, but Heidi was still testing herself.
But just try it out, it doesn't matter.
While drinking, Robben suddenly said: "Hey, we can only drink here by ourselves. I heard that there will be a banquet on the first floor tonight, but we were ordered not to attend by the lady. I feel uncomfortable."
It seems that Robben is also a little bit drunk. As a professional, he is employed by Nadette. It is reasonable to say that he would not say these obviously emotional words, but he said it.
As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent.
Heidi's expression was even more ugly.
Xi Weng asked suddenly: "Your Excellency Cook, I wonder if you have been invited?"
From the perspective of Xion and others, Beta is both a spellcaster and a nobleman, whose status is much higher than ordinary professionals like them, so he must be among the invited. Although professionals are not afraid of nobles, and their status is much higher than ordinary people and businessmen, they still cannot be regarded as the real upper class, because nobles hold banquets and rarely invite professionals from the physics department.
Beta shook her head: "No, I was even scolded by her, calling me a bad boy."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter at the same time. They felt that Beta was joking with them. Who would dare to associate a powerful dragon vein warlock with the little boy.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Beta didn't explain it.
The celebrations of the three groups lasted until the evening, and then they dispersed, because the Sheke Hall on the first floor was ready to start the banquet, and the people below were all dignitaries, and the professional mercenaries on the third floor naturally couldn't 'confront' others .
Beta rested for a while, preparing to make some scrolls, and then gave up when he heard the noisy voices from below. Although he could set up a sound-proof barrier to prevent outside sounds from coming in, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to be lazy.
The silver moonlight spilled onto the balcony, and Beta moved a chair and sat there, watching the scene of Echo City and enjoying the cool night breeze.
He suddenly felt that he hadn't been so leisurely for a long time. Although a fulfilling life is a good thing, occasional relaxation and leisure are also necessary.
He remembered that in the game before, although many times it was very hard and exciting, but he also had a lot of free time, playing around and seeing the scenery. At that time, life was really happy.
But now, there are too many things to deal with. The clues of Wojin Temple, Persian cat and Xiaobai are also investigated, and even many miscellaneous things are entangled. Sometimes he even wondered, if he didn't know Persian cat and Xiaobai, if he was just an ordinary person, would his life be easier
Of course, this idea is only occasionally thought of, and it is impossible for him to give up and forget his two wives.
He closed his eyes on the balcony for a while, and when it was night, he heard a knock on the door.
He went to open the door and found three excited girls standing outside, one of them was Nadette's daughter, Lacus.
"Look, this is the new boy who wants to pursue me, don't you think he's a little whimsical." Lux's face was flushed, she was standing a little unsteadily, and she still smelled faintly of alcohol.
One of the blond girls with big breasts looked at Beta, her eyes brightened slightly: "Hey, he looks handsome, Miss Lacus, if you don't want it, give it to me, I really like this type."
Lacus waved her hand heavily: "Okay, no problem, take it away, if he dares to say no, I will make him look good!"
Beta narrowed her eyes and closed the door heavily.
After a short period of silence, there was frantic knocking on the door, like drums and gongs, and outside, there were three women's curses.
"Little boy, you dare to slam my door, you're getting impatient, aren't you?" This was the voice of Lacus.
"Boy, do you know who you offended? She is the princess of Echo City. If you are sensible, hurry up and apologize." It was the voice of the blonde woman.
"Asshole, open the door." It was the third woman's voice.
Beta didn't bother to talk to them.
But the three women were really drunk, knocked on the door hard outside, and cursed more and more badly, and finally cursed out all the greetings to their parents.
Beta couldn't take it anymore and opened the door.
When the three women saw him, they were slightly happy at first, and then became even more furious.
Beta flicked her fingers before they could curse out, and several thin lines of lightning appeared out of thin air and hit the three women.
They twitched for a while at the same time, and then sat down together on the ground.
This is not magic, it's just a trick... The lightning element condensed with mental power has no power, but it can temporarily numb the whole body, and these three women are ordinary people, and they lost their ability to move immediately after being shocked.
Beta was about to go back to the room, but heard a roar from the front: "Cook, what are you doing?"
Beta looked up, and it turned out to be Urban. The latter came running, as if the maddened bull.
Lux was half lying on the ground, still twitching, she stared at Beta, her eyes were full of resentment.
When she saw Urban rushing towards Beta, she was a little surprised. When she got up, the little boy was a bit capable, but he was definitely not a match for Urban, a trash.
But the result took her by surprise. As soon as there was a strange bang, a transparent air bomb condensed in front of the little boy named Cook, directly bombarded Urban, and sent the latter flying.
Beta kept his hand and used the lowest level of air pressure bombs to attack, so it seemed that the momentum was quite loud, but in fact Urban was not seriously injured.
Urban, who was thrown out, got up from the ground, half-kneeling, and looked at Beta with an unbelievable look: "Cook, do you know what you are doing? She is the eldest lady."
Beta walked over and looked at Urban condescendingly: "Of course I know. Urban, it's your fault that you can't stand up after kneeling for a long time, but don't try to pull me to kneel too, it's boring."
At this time, the other teammates on the third floor ran out when they heard the fighting. After hearing Beta's words, everyone thought he was very handsome.
Heidi glanced at Beta approvingly, then went over, picked up Lacus, and took her downstairs.
The other two women and Urban were also sent down by other teammates.
Nadette was in the banquet hall with several nobles, chatting and laughing. Heidi walked to his side, whispered a few words in his ear, his expression changed, he apologized to others, and then he and Heidi came to his daughter's bedroom.
At first, he thought that his daughter had suffered multiple injuries, but when he went in, he found that Lux was in front of the mirror, vigorously combing her afro-like hairstyle with a comb.
Beside her, sat two noble ladies with similar hairstyles.
Nadette laughed out loud.
Hearing this laughter, Lux turned her head and cried, "Father, look, that Cook is too arrogant, he dared to attack me, you should arrest him quickly."
"It's a loss. Kick the iron plate down." Nadette was overjoyed: "I told you to look down on men of the same age. Do you think everyone will flatter you?"
Looking at her father who was gloating at other people's misfortunes, Lacus was so angry that she was about to go crazy, she said angrily: "Father, are you actually facing that little boy?"
"Dare the boy to attack you? Can the boy beat Urban?"
Lux was speechless for a moment.
"You should rest well, you are not injured anyway."
Nadette almost returned to his study with a smile all the way.
Heidi followed him, and was a little puzzled when he saw this: "Don't be angry, Cook didn't give you face."
"He has given me a lot of face." Nadette smiled and said, "I know how bad my daughter is. Besides, she also drank some wine, so she must have spoken and acted too much. But even so, Cook It's just a small loss for her. If it's not for my face, Lacus will be seriously injured if she doesn't die. Isn't this giving me face? On the contrary, once this happened, I still owe him a favor .”
Heidi shook her head helplessly: "My daughter is being bullied, but she is still happy to be a father. You are the only one I have ever seen."
Nadette laughed: "I am reluctant to beat and scold my daughter, but this does not mean that other people will help me educate her, which will make me lose face, but I still wish for it. Lacus is surrounded by men who flatter her. That’s why she developed her current arrogant personality. It’s a good thing that someone can suppress her and take care of her. Now, I feel more and more that Cook may be a very good son-in-law.”
Heidi smiled: "Then you plan to match the two of them?"
"Don't worry, wait until the scout returns from Laguo County in four days."
Not many people knew about this little episode in the banquet, and those who did, dared not spread it because of Nadette's status.
Beta continued to rest like a normal person, occasionally doing scrolls and magic experiments.
Four days passed quickly, and Lacus restrained a lot. Although she also had an expression of hatred on her face when she saw Beta, she no longer dared to swear at others.
In the study, Nadette sighed after reading the information sent back from Lago County, and handed it to Arnold who was sitting beside him.
Arnold also frowned after reading it: "This kid has had such a tragedy before, and he can't tell from his personality. He has a calm and gentle personality, has a bottom line, and has a sense of responsibility. He doesn't look like a blood feud at all, and The one who crawled out of hell as an Avenger.
"This even more shows that his toughness is precious." Nadette sighed: "When I was his age, I didn't even have half of his abilities."
"You think he's believable?"
Nadette smiled: "You can trust it. After we kill the two bishops in Ellen City and Maang City, we will recommend him to the Sanctuary. Such a young man needs to prove himself on a bigger battlefield."
Arnold nodded and said: "Cook told me that he came to you, as long as he can go up, you recommend him to the sanctuary, I think he will be very happy. But if you recommend him to the sanctuary, then he and Things about Lacus will be difficult."
"It depends on fate," Nadette said with a smile. "To be honest, I think it would be a bad thing for a young man as promising and capable as Cook to marry my daughter. Lark It's true that Ruth is a little unworthy of him."
