On the return carriage, Lacey leaned against the armrest on the side of the carriage sofa, supporting her cheeks with her hands. She was a little sleepy, not physically, but mentally. It's like playing a tense and thrilling match with others online for 5 hours. Now she doesn't want to think about anything, she just wants to go back and have a good sleep.
She closed her eyes, rested for a while, regained her energy, and then slowly recalled the scene just now. This Adeley made her particularly annoying.
The country in her previous life had a long culture of toasting. Even if she didn't drink much, she knew that in psychology, this was actually an obedience test. I respect you, and you must drink it all in obedience. Although this world doesn't have the same customs, Adrien's behavior just now is actually a kind of temptation.
As soon as he entered the arena, he immediately grabbed the attention. His seemingly joking remarks greatly aroused the emotions of the girls, and then quickly fell down, expressing that he was only joking. The moment he fell together, the emotions of the girls were like a roller coaster. Generally stimulate it, and then quickly focus on yourself.
Afterwards, his bickering with Feng Nao was noisy on the surface, but he quickly broke the strange feeling of meeting for the first time, revealed his emotions and personality naturally, and lowered the vigilance of the two of them meeting for the first time.
Then there was another sincere conversation, revealing that he and Angus were familiar with each other, which provided motivation for the next words of active help, which seemed less abrupt. And a person with a playboy image at the beginning is suddenly so solemn, and the contrast between the front and the back gives people a sincere feeling that a prodigal son will return for money, and it is easier to move people.
Finally, after Lacey thanked him, he toasted again, following the simple idea of repayment between people. The person on the other side promises to do you a big favor and toast you a glass of wine. You should drink the wine in the glass in return. This is an unconscious and spontaneous behavior of human beings. If you don’t drink it, it will be obvious and deliberate, which shows that you are very cautious. If you only drink a part of it, it shows that you are more cautious and do not have full faith.
Lacey naturally understood the intention of this, so she drank it all, pretending that she was not wary, and believed the promise of the young master Adelley in front of her.
Slowly recalling the various events at the banquet, Lacey had to sigh that Adeley is really a master of love, and with his emotional intelligence, there is absolutely no need to be so stiff with Feng Nai, it is very likely that he did it on purpose. If he does his best, Lacey suspects that the innocent wind will be captured by him in less than three days.
And Mei Lu, although she talked a lot at the banquet, it was basically a common scene, and she never really expressed her position from beginning to end.
Feng Nai is very simple, Adeley has a plan for Lacey or Carrites, Meru is like a fog, Felton is concerned about new wine, focusing on making money, and not interested in other things, this is after Lacey's banquet summary.
---------------------------------
While Lacey reminisced slowly in the carriage, Aidley also returned to the study at home.
"How is it, is Miss Lacey of the Carrites family beautiful?" A young man slightly taller than Adeley brought a cup of sober soup. He was the adopted son of the Tisifone family, Wick, who was half of Adeley's. brother.
"Wick, let me tell you, you will really regret if you don't go, Miss Lacey is the most beautiful person I have ever met in my life."
"Oh? Prettier than the Angels of the Sanctuary?" Wick smiled, then sat down across from Adley.
"Indeed, I really want to marry her." Aidley made no secret of the desire in his eyes.
"You can't be true, right? It's clearly decided to join forces with Anemii before, and Feng Nao is also very good."
"You don't understand, Feng Nai is indeed stunning in the world, but Miss Lacey, I'm afraid I'll miss it this time. The next time such a beautiful person is born in the world is estimated to take thousands of years."
"Okay, Adrien, really can't joke, we have arranged everything. The union with Anemii is also a certainty, and now is not the time to go back."
"I know that Karites has to be knocked down or subdued so that Hopelander can be led by us and the organization's plans can go smoothly."
"Yes, Adeley, we Tisifone have already invested too much in it, and now we can't look back. I hope you won't be fooled by beauty." Wick looked at Adeley solemnly.
"You don't need to remind me, I understand." Aidley leaned on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows.
"However, I will apply with the organization to obtain the ownership of that girl after the victory." His voice was slow, but it revealed some kind of determination.
"Sun and Moon"
After a moment of silence, Aidley asked again.
"How's the Hellis family doing?"
"They've been very low-key lately and haven't made any big moves."
"Really? I always feel like they might have found something, but they just didn't say it."
"Even if they find some traces, so what? As long as they can't produce concrete evidence for a while, they can't do anything about us. After a while, everything will be a foregone conclusion, and they won't be able to move if they want, and the wheel of the times will eventually run over everything. , I'll talk about whether there will be any Helis family in the future."
Wick spoke in a low voice, and there seemed to be some kind of fanatical ideal in his eyes under the candlelight.

After returning home, two days later, news of the battlefield in the north of the west wind spread all over Vilgar, and people were panicked for a while.
The west wind is the central hub of the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua. If there is civil strife, many commercial routes on the road will be cut off, and the sea route has become a safe choice that is not affected by it. For a time, the Karites family received several orders. There are also many shipping entrustments.
At this time, the three major fleets of the Carrites Chamber of Commerce, "Swordfish", "Tradewind" and "White Bird" were all called back. The Jingyue Strait outside Hopelander, with huge white sails, large More than 200 boats, large and small, were neatly parked on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
For a time, the momentum of the Karites family reached its climax in Hopelander. Various invitations also followed, and the large chambers of commerce in other places in Verga were not far away, sending all kinds of greetings and gifts, hoping to make good friends with them.
As peace was broken, safe sea routes became an inevitable choice, and the demand for both merchant ships and warships was increasing, and Karites became the target of everyone's attention.
And just when Roland Hill was worried about how to solve so many orders, commissions, and invitations, the country of Rourna also sent a team of alchemists to Hopland to contact Karites, the purpose of which was to come Discuss important cooperative projects, namely the design and construction of steel battleships.
