The Dean Has Arrived Chapter 63: Visitor
"The address is correct, it is indeed right here..."
Xiwei carefully checked the banquet address on the back of the invitation, and then looked up at the glamorous facade in front of him, even a hotel more luxurious than the castle of the lord: "You can actually hold a banquet in this kind of place, that The goblin is unexpectedly rich."
Alisa is also the first time to visit this kind of place, but it may be because of the large number of people. Compared with the casual look of looking around in the castle, she now looks a little embarrassed.
It is Tio, who is holding the corners of Sevi's robe, still looks expressionless.
"Ah, dear Master Master, you are finally here!"
Just when Xiwei was about to step on the wide and long stairs at the entrance of the hotel, a short figure stumbled over from the doorway above. Because of its short legs, it seemed to run extremely hard.
"Sasangsan has been waiting for you for a long time, come on, please inside!" The goblin said hurriedly while panting and rubbing his shiny forehead.
Its fat and ugly face is full of solitary expressions, which makes Siwei feel a little strange.
It’s normal to simply please. After all, as a mage, and I have a life-saving grace for it, it’s not surprising that I want to flatter myself. But this kind of fear-like performance is too strange... He hasn't grown into a cannibal look.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Is this also the conspiracy of the lord’s wife? Xi Wei raised his eyebrows lightly, on the surface calmly, but secretly he was on guard, but only relying on the other person’s look determined that it was too rude to be deceitful, so Xi Wei followed the goblin into the hotel slowly. .
Speaking of the banquet, it is obvious that Xiwei and the goblins cannot be the only participants. In fact, there are already many people wearing gorgeous dresses in the hotel lobby.
But judging from the various Chamber of Commerce prints on the chest or back of the dress, the fat goblin invited only some merchants from the ordinary Chamber of Commerce.
This is normal, and Xiwei didn't intend to see nobles at a banquet held by a goblin merchant—those with eyes above the top, as well as the civilians who are human, discriminate, let alone goblins.
Among such a group of businessmen, Sevi, wearing a mage's robe, and Alyssa and Tio, who are cute like dolls, immediately became their focus.
After Sa Sang Sang welcomed Xi Wei and the others in, merchants kept coming up to talk to them, but they were cleverly rejected by Sa Sang Sang.
This also made Xiwei feel that this fat goblin had any intentions.
The hotel lobby covers an extremely large area, even larger than the banquet hall in the castle. It was obviously impossible for only a hundred people to fill such an empty place, and soon Shasangsang took Xiwei and them to a corner with no one.
"Lord Fa, Master Master..." After coming to this corner full of decorative bonsai, the goblin squatted and said, "Which, in fact, I invite you to come here today... because someone wants to be with you. You speak..."
finally got to the point. Xi Wei was silent, waiting for Sa Sang Sang to continue speaking, wanting to see what medicine he sold in the gourd.
"If you can..." Sha Sangsang looked to one side of the corner, and Xiwei followed his gaze, and found that there was a staircase leading to the second floor. It was because of the bonsai branches. He didn't even notice it.
What will there be? A powerful wizard or swordsman? Or some kind of alchemy trap?
Xiwei frowned, no matter what it was, it wouldn't be a good thing for him.
"Master Mage!" Seeing Xiwei's hesitant expression, Shasangsang mustered up his courage from nowhere, and resolutely said: "Relax! This is definitely not a bad thing. Shasangsang can use his own freedom. Take an oath!"
Xiwei looked at the fat goblin with a serious expression in surprise. The slick goblins don’t like to swear. Although this doesn’t mean that the oath they swear must be true, it also adds to their words. A little credibility.
After thinking about it for a while, Siwei stuffed two small **** to Alyssa. They are sonic bombs and flash bombs. The former can be used to notify Siwei of what's happening outside, and the latter can be used Let the little girls have the ability to deal with something.
and he himself walked into the stairs cautiously-he didn't want Alisha and Tio to accompany him on the adventure anyway.
At the end of the stairs is a door. Judging from the number, this seems to be a place like a hotel staff room, but at this time it will definitely not be a hotel staff.
Xiwei opened the door cautiously. The action of opening the door did not trigger any traps, and then he opened the door.
The staff room is very small, and the furnishings inside are very simple. Against the backdrop of three white walls, three dilapidated sofas, a low-footed coffee table and a wardrobe are all the furniture.
However, it was the two people sitting on the sofa that caught Sivi's attention at the moment.
It was a weird combination of a girl about twenty years old and an old lady who looked sixty or seventy years old.
"Sevi Adric?" The girl in a goose-yellow dress and dress first asked after spotting Sivi who was probing his head at the door.
"Who are you?" Xi Wei walked slowly into the room, and he was not surprised that the other party was able to say his name... After all, it was him who called him.
And compared to a girl, Xiwei always has a more dangerous feeling for the old woman next to her without a trace of magic fluctuations.
"Can you please close the door before introducing yourself?" The girl said with a smile.
Xiwei hesitated, but still closed the door according to the words. At this time, he discovered that half of the magic circle was painted on the door and the wall next to it, even though Xiwei had been filled with the system. The pile is messy, the total amount is comparable to the knowledge of high-level magicians, and it can only be recognizable that the magic array effect seems to be soundproof and the like.
"This way you don't have to be afraid of others eavesdropping." The girl stood up generously and reached out to Xiwei: "My name is Evangeline, Evangeline Huolian. I'm glad to meet you. , Mr. Sylvie Adric."
"Well, me too, Yiwen... eh, Huolian?" Xi Wei just wanted to hold the girl's hand, but the whole person froze like that: "The emperor... Your Royal Highness?!"
Evangeline seemed to enjoy Si Wei's reaction. She shook Si Wei's hand with a smirk, then let go and sat back on the sofa.
"Yes, in front of you is the eldest princess of the Huolian Empire." At this time, the old woman said aloud: "As for the old body, I am not a famous person, so I don't want to mention it."
Why does the princess of a country suddenly appear in front of him? This is too much to expand!
Sivier stared at Evangeline blankly for a few seconds before realizing that it was impolite to do so, so he immediately lowered his eyes.
As for the possibility of pretending to be a princess...just kidding, who would pretend to be a princess when he’s full and he’s too comfortable to live and want to die.
"Teacher Sharon, you are too humble." The girl smiled and pointed out the identity of the old woman: "If you are not well-known as the chief priest of Huolian, then the entire empire is probably nothing but your mother. There are no celebrities."
"Sharon...the royal priest mage..." Xiwei said these two names in his heart, and then a name came to him immediately.
"Are you Mrs. Sharon Lange?" he asked cautiously.
"You are a guest of your Highness today, don't be so cautious." Madam Sharon smiled kindly, but did not deny the name either.
How could it be casual in front of the only great magician in the Huolian Empire! Xiwei nodded tremblingly.
It's no wonder that he has always been more sensitive to magical power, but he can't perceive the slightest fluctuation of the other's magic power... It's all because of the level difference!
"That...what did the two of you find me today?"
"I have two things going south this time." As if deliberately trying to puff Xiwei's appetite, the girl began to say to herself: "One of them is to investigate the recent emergence of jackals. The reason in Noege."
Xiwei suddenly, when the jackal was besieging Tio, he took care of a batch of them. Later, when the jackal appeared near Khoradur, he also passed by the scene of the incident and found the only one. The survivor Shasangsang, then it's normal for the princess to come and find out about the situation.
As for how the other party knew that he had dealt with the wolves... I wanted to have the Great Mage Sharon here, and it would be no surprise to find anything from that place.
Just when Xiwei thought he had grasped the main points of the subsequent conversation, Evangeline continued.
"But that thing is fine, the key thing is another thing...It's about the little girl you saved, Tio Scanji."
"……"
So why! Why would a majesty princess care about this kind of thing between nobles!
, who can't keep up with the topic of Her Royal Highness at all, at this moment deeply felt that her experience was too shallow, and she couldn't see through the essential deficiencies of the matter.
"Actually, Tio, it's the child of my mother and Duke Skange." Before Sevi was relieved, Princess Eventérin once again dropped a blockbuster: "It's also my different mother. Father’s sister."
"Wait, this is too weird!" Sivi finally couldn't help but said, "If Tio is really a princess, then why should Duke Scanji bring it back as an illegitimate daughter? What?"
The Huolian Empire is not without men in power, but for some reason it is often dominated by the queen, so the status of the princess is also rising. If Tio is really a princess, then there is absolutely no reason to live outside the palace. .
"Because the situation eight years ago was not peaceful, but this has nothing to do with you." The girl waved her hand to signal Sivi not to continue to worry about this question: "Anyway, you only need to know that Tio really has royal blood."
"Then your Royal Highness, are you here to take Tio back this time?"
For some reason, Sivi suddenly thought of the [Girl's Home] mission. Is the palace the real place for Tio?
"Of course not," Evangeline's decisive voice brought Sivi's thoughts back to reality: "Tio just needs to continue as the heir of Duke Skangi, it is not for her to return to the palace or something. Good thing."
"But it’s even worse for Teo to stay in Noegy now!" I don’t know if it’s because of the impact of Teo’s identity or some other reason that Sivi temporarily threw the other party’s princess identity. On the one hand, he said tit-for-tat to her: "You may not know, actually..."
Evangeline made a peace of mind, and then said softly: "Don't worry, we also understand the situation of Noegge now. In other words, we are here to solve this matter. "
Xiwei took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Then you don't have to come to me at all. As long as you can see the Lord, then the truth is not far away, right?"
"So it’s not that simple." The girl said with a wry smile: "Actually, even if I ask to meet the Lord Duke in the name of official business, Mrs. Scanki can get rid of her illness and want to see him. We can only use a tougher attitude, but in this way, among the nobles, the reputation of the royal family will be greatly damaged."
At this point, Xiwei also understood the other's concerns a little bit: "But what does this have to do with calling me over?"
"Since the status of a public family is not enough, then it is enough to visit Duke Skangi with the personal status of'Tio's friend'." The girl said her purpose without hesitation: "But Tio She is too vigilant. Although I don’t know how you did it, she seems to have opened her heart to you, master and apprentice. In this way, our plan needs yours to a certain extent. Helped."
"I understand."
Sivillo thought about it and agreed with the girl's words: "But I have one more question."
The girl looked at Xiwei with amber eyes curiously: "What question?"
"Didn’t the law of the Huolian Empire stipulate that only blood relatives can inherit the title?" Sivi immediately asked the question that had troubled him for a long time: "In this way, if the lord’s wife designed to kill Tio, the title and the fief She would be taken back by the royal family, so why didn’t she just take Tio to create a puppet regime~IndoMTL.com~ instead of doing such a thankless thing?"
"So you don't know yet." The girl sighed helplessly: "Mrs. Scanki is still pregnant. In other words, as long as she gives birth to a baby, she can take over Noegge. As for Whose child is he pregnant... When that baby is born, Duke Scanji has passed away, there is no way to verify it."
"That's why she will spare no effort to deal with Tio..." Sivi also sank his face: "So, apart from Lord Lord, Tio seems to have no one close to him."
is an illegitimate daughter after all, and the lady of the lord doesn’t wait to see her. Naturally, the servants will not take the risk of being put on shoes by the lady of the lord to take care of Tio.
"You are wrong." Evangeline smiled, but that smile was unexpectedly bitter: "Even Duke Skangi, Tio is not close."
"How could it be..." Xiwei was stunned: "Obviously it is his own child."
"Compared to his own children, I am afraid that in the eyes of the Lord Duke, Tio is more like a bargaining chip with his mother." The girl sneered: "You know why Nuoage Mingming has a border defense. The Guards, but do they still have the right to form their own army?"
"Your Royal Highness!" At this time, the old lady Sharon, who had been silent, said: "You talk too much."
"Sorry." The girl put away her expression, and returned to her previous gentle smile: "It's a bit gaffe. But I believe Mr. Adric will never say it, right (laughs) )?"
"……"
That smile is terrible... ★It has nothing to do with the text, thank you reader Wのi, let’s go through it together~
