"I'll tell him what you said!" David said with a smile.
David found that Countess Alma didn't mean anything to him, he was just curious, so he danced and chatted with Countess Alma.
"Huh!" While he was dancing with Countess Alma, he felt two unkind eyes. He staggered his steps and turned around with Countess Alma, just in time to see the owner of the two gazes.
David didn't understand where the other party's malice came from. In the ballroom dancing part of this kind of reception, it is a very common social behavior for strange men and women to dance.
This is also a way for nobles to know each other. I don't know why these two people are hostile to him because of this.
"Countess Alma, it seems that your admirers don't like me, so let's end our dance here!" David didn't have any intention of playing games with these boring nobles, he let go of Alma directly. said the Duke.
At this time, the song just ended, and when Countess Alma heard David's words, she glanced at Knight Gaines and Knight Leacock, and just in time to meet their eyes, she immediately understood what happened.
"I'm sorry to trouble you!" Countess Alma bowed and apologized.
She stepped back gracefully, but when she turned around, she walked towards the two knights with a frosty face.
For Countess Alma, the behavior of the two knights was a great loss of face.
"Baron Arthur, this is Lady Denise!" At this moment, Charlie came over and introduced, then turned to introduce to Lady Denise, "This is Baron Arthur, my friend!"
"Hello, Lady Denise!" David greeted Lady Denise with a standard noble greeting.
"Hi Baron Arthur!" Dame Denise returned a lady's salute.
"I left a bottle of good wine over there, go and taste it!" Charlie invited with a smile.
"Will it not delay your business?" David asked hesitantly.
He doesn't understand the process of the engagement ceremony, and Charlie himself is not very reliable, so he still needs to ask more clearly.
"Baron Arthur, Charlie is leaving with an excuse. In fact, we have nothing to do later!" Lady Denise said with a smile before Charlie could speak.
David saw that there was nothing wrong, so he walked aside with Charlie and Lady Denise. Charlie gestured to the maid in front of a bar, and the maid took a bottle of wine from under the bar and poured it for the three of them. Three glasses of wine.
Picking up the wine glass, David smelled that the wine had a very light taste, but it also had a hint of richness, which was a very special taste.
"Baron Arthur, I may trouble you often in the future. I feel very rude to ask a baron to cook food!" Charlie said in an apologetic tone after taking a sip of red wine.
In fact, David had already guessed in his heart. Given Lord Gould's emphasis on heart-warming lotus seed soup, it is estimated that he will have to provide some in the future.
"Needless to say, we are friends, even Qinya Manor is a gift from you, and cooking some heart-warming lotus seed soup is just a matter of raising your hands!" David replied with a smile.
"I'm relieved when you say that!" Charlie's smile returned to his face.
He was really worried that David would be disgusted by letting David cook heart-warming lotus seed soup, which made him hesitate before.
"Well, Baron Arthur, do you have any flying exoskeleton armor?" Baroness Denise interjected.
Lady Denise's words turned the smile on Charlie's face into embarrassment again. He gently pushed Lady Denise, but Lady Denise ignored him and still looked at him expectantly. To David.
Charlie regretted showing off his flying exoskeleton armor to Lady Denise. This kind of equipment capable of solo flight made Lady Denise very fond of it. If he hadn't insisted on it, he would have been snatched away long ago.
After hearing what Lady Denise said, David noticed that Lady Denise was not weak, and was almost as strong as the Earth Knight.
This made him look at Charlie with sympathetic eyes. I'm afraid Charlie can't hold back the Countess!
Charlie also saw the meaning in David's eyes, and wanted to make a tough gesture, but seeing the expression of Lady Denise, he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"Mousse Denise, I'm not prepared for your request, I'll check when I go back!" This was the first time David had seen Lady Denise, and he had no intention of giving a gift, so he decided to delay it.
He still has some exoskeleton armor, but not many can fly, and only the last one can be given away.
"I'll go find you!" Dame Denise didn't seem to know what perfunctory was, and immediately responded when she heard David's words.
David looked at Charlie speechlessly, and Charlie shrugged to David, also expressing helplessness.
On the other side, Ian found Knight Gaines and Knight Leacock, and the three left the reception and went to the lounge beside them.
David, who was chatting, didn't notice that because he didn't dare to use Shadow Servant here, coupled with the large number of people, his danger perception dropped to the extreme.
Of course, there are also some arrangements made by the five lords. There are patterns of disturbing detection everywhere in the hall. This was originally to reduce the chance of being discovered by the gods, but David was also weakened because of this. perception.
Charlie and Lady Denise couldn't stay with David all the time. These two were the protagonists of today's reception. After chatting with him for a while, they were called away by Charlie's uncle, Baron Blackmore.
David drank red wine and became bored again.
"Baron Arthur, why don't you go dancing?" Gilbert Sky Knight came to David and asked with a smile.
David glanced at Gilbert Sky Knight. At this time, Gilbert Sky Knight didn't know whether he drank red wine or was in a good mood. His face was a little reddish, and he was very excited.
"Gilbert Sky Knight, you seem to have got what you want?" David asked instead of answering his question.
"Yes, I won't go back with you!" Gilbert Sky Knight's expression became even brighter when he said this, and he forcibly suppressed his excitement.
David knew what Gilbert Sky Knight meant. This is Star Main. To use the portal here, whether entering or leaving, you need a certificate to pass.
Gilbert Sky Knight said that he had reached some kind of agreement with the top family. He would leave with a top family and would not return to Bama Star.
"Congratulations!" David said with a smile.
He also didn't ask Gilbert Sky Knight which top family he joined. In fact, he had seen Gilbert Sky Knight chatting with the Viscount of the Berger family before, and it was no accident that it was the Berger family.
Gilbert Sky Knight admires Lord Ferdinand very much, and joining Lord Ferdinand's family can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
"Thank you Baron Arthur for your help, I will repay you in the future!" Gilbert Sky Knight said sincerely.
David smiled and clinked wine glasses with Gilbert Sky Knight.
Gilbert Sky Knight also didn't stay with David much. After he told David his news, he went to meet new friends.
During the entire reception after that, no one came to talk to David. Countess Alma, who had come to dance with David before, seemed to be because of friends, but she just nodded to him from a distance and did not come again.
As time passed, the reception came to an end. When the band played a farewell song, all the guests bid farewell to each other in an orderly manner.
David walked out of the hall, and Charlie and Lady Denise were seeing off the guests at the door.
"Baron Arthur, I will look for you in a few days!" Lady Denise's eyes lit up when she saw David. She still remembered what was mentioned before and said with a chuckle.
"Welcome to be a guest!" David replied helplessly.
"Baron Arthur, don't be soft-hearted, ask for a higher price!" David walked a few steps, Charlie chased after him and said softly, and ran back to Lady Denise after speaking.
David shook his head with a smile. The future of this pair must be wonderful.
"Baron Arthur, I'm ordered to lead you the way!" A steward wearing the steward's uniform of the Maine family hurriedly walked over and bowed when he saw David.
David didn't think much about it. He was treated differently when he came to the Maine family this time. Whether he was coming or leaving, he would be guided by the steward. The rest of the guests rarely received such treatment.
The steward led David and Knight Mark to a small portal, and passed through the small portal to the vicinity of the large portal.
Several people were queuing up at the portal here, and the steward trotted over to talk softly with the staff of the portal, and then walked back.
"Baron Arthur, please use the portal first!" The steward said with a gesture of invitation respectfully.
David was a little surprised. You must know that there are several titles higher than him in the front. Doesn't this kind of operation make him offend others
But the steward had already made arrangements, and he couldn't refuse. He could only apologize to the few people waiting in front, and then walked towards the portal.
Regarding the matter of jumping in the queue, the few nobles who were waiting actually had no opinion. This is Star Maine, and those who can be arranged to use the portal first here have a very close relationship with the Maine family.
David found that the staff of the portal did not ask him to show the invitation letter, but directly made a gesture of approval to him.
Just as he stepped into the portal, he felt a palpitation.
"Goodbye, Baron Arthur!" Ian, who stood on the castle square and watched the guests leave, said coldly.
Ian, who hadn't been reprimanded for a long time, since his father, Lord Gould told him to 'fuck off', he naturally didn't have any resentment towards Lord Gould, but he hated David even more.
What a great opportunity before, almost let Charlie die outside, so that he became the heir of the Main family.
With the addition of past and new grievances, Ian was not someone who could endure hatred, so he immediately launched revenge.
His revenge was also very simple. After seeing Gaines Knight, Leacock Knight and David's grievances, he directly found the two knights and made a request.
The Barry family to which Knight Gaines belongs is a subsidiary family of the Main family.
Some people in the Maine family may know Lord Gould's thoughts, but no one outside the Maine family knows. The main reason is that the family scandal must not be publicized, and no one in the Maine family dares to spread such a thing.
So the outside families only know that Lord Gould dotes on Ian, even more than Charlie, the real heir, which makes some families make wrong judgments.
Just like the Barry family, the Barry family is a family that manages weapons and equipment, and the family has the ability to manufacture weapons and equipment from level one to level four.
You must know that the forging of level 4 weapons and equipment requires a master-level blacksmith to carry out this kind of material. No one will let ordinary blacksmiths do it.
The Barry family has no source of raw materials. The main source is the supply of materials distributed by the Maine family from Battle Star. This makes the Barry family completely dependent on the Maine family.
Ian's request is also very simple. He has a way to teleport David to the Hack planet where the Barry family is located. He hopes that the families of Gaines Knight and Leacock Knight can keep David in Hack forever.
Regarding Ian's request, Gaines Knight and Leacock Knight naturally couldn't decide, and they found their elders again.
I don't know what kind of conditions Ian promised, the two families agreed to make a move. Of course, the Barry family contributed the most. They went out, and all the two sky knights of the family were dispatched.
As for the Carney family of the Licock knights, a sky knight was dispatched to assist.
It can be said that it is absolutely easy for the three sky knights to deal with David, who has only one sky knight.
Among them, Ian's status as the son of the lord played a decisive role, and Baron Arthur, a weak nobleman, was also the reason why the two families did not refuse.
Some gossip said that Ian was likely to become the heir of the Maine family. Even if there was a slight possibility, the two families would not let go of this opportunity to please Ian.
As for the fact that Baron Arthur saved Charlie, they didn't believe that Charlie would care about an ordinary low-ranking nobleman. Besides, if they didn't say anything, Ian wouldn't say it either. Will let Charlie know.
Ian knew the knight's perception of danger even more, so he also thought of a solution.
He ordered a steward to receive David, and at the same time told the steward where David needed to go, but the destination was not Bama Star, but Hake Star.
But the steward himself didn't know that the destination was fake, he only thought that the address David needed to return to was Hackstar.
This kind of performance can make the steward's mind not have any other consciousness, so that David can't find the error of the teleportation target.
It can only be said that Ian's luck is very good. If he usually does this, Lord Gould will definitely find out and stop him. Even if Lord Gould doesn't find out, Charlie or others will find out.
But today's situation is a bit special. Lord Gould talked about important things with the four lords, and it was too late to hide, so how could he let his perception out.
Charlie and the rest of the family have also had a busy day, and the finishing work of the reception is still going on. Only Ian is idle, and no one has time to pay attention to him.
