Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 189: Rena’s Dilemma
PS. The first draft was revised first and then revised. Half an hour later, there were no words to read.
This was the first time Su Lun saw how a young gambling-addicted woman looked after dressing up.
The long skirt is made of dark blue brocade with gold patterns, and the graceful figure is outlined with beautiful lines. There were also large areas of gauze decoration, like a wisp of breeze lingering, and coupled with the faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows, Su Lun didn't even realize that she took a second look.
Elegant, elegant and pleasant.
The gangster lady in front of the full-length mirror changed her outfit and immediately looked like a lady.
But Senjo seemed to be very unaccustomed to wearing skirts. He looked at himself in the mirror with a look of disgust on his face and muttered something he couldn't hear.
At this time, she seemed to notice Su Lun's gaze, turned around and asked: "Boy Su Lun, do you think anything is weird?"
Su Lun looked at it and smiled, saying only two words: "It looks good."
Qianjou pursed his lips after hearing this, "Don't be stunned, hurry up and change your clothes. Although the reception is at nine o'clock, we have to enter early to wait for the little princess."
Hearing these words, Su Lun also put away the puppets in his hands and stood up.
As soon as the eight-armed spider spear was retracted, he did not take off his clothes. His body shook, as if his face changed, and his work clothes suddenly turned into a white suit.
Qianjiao watched him change clothes in this second, and he also saw the reason. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Hey, the space ability is used to change clothes?"
Su Lun smiled and said: "This is a gadget I just thought about, trick dressing up."
As he spoke, he shook his feet, and the shiny leather boots were put on his feet.
Put your hands together and pull, and a silver-handled cane is held in your right hand.
Thinking that something was missing, he put another hand on his left hand and magically took out a bowler hat and placed it on his head.
After doing all this, he glanced at the young gambling-addicted woman and said, "Let's go, you can go out."
Qian Tiao looked at Su Lun from head to toe, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said jokingly: "Tsk, you're not bad at all~"
Su Lun smiled and shrugged, walked over, opened his arms, and Qianjiao naturally took them.
At this time, she suddenly discovered something, "Wait a minute."
Su Lun stopped and watched as Qianziao put his arms around him, then straightened his collar and smoothed out the wrinkles.
"That's good~"
Qianjou seemed very satisfied, with a smile on her pretty face
Just before Princess Teresa arrived at the camp, the major families in the inner city had already received news of the reception.
The Unicorn Hotel, this is the property of the Reyes family.
As the only daughter of the head of the Reyes family, Reina naturally came underground this time.
In the suite on the top floor, the maid was putting makeup on her.
The old housekeeper on the side has a heavy face and is reporting on the recent situation: "Miss, the situation is not very good. There is news from the family that several branch families are restless again. I hope we can be careful, maybe we will do something to Miss You are not in a good position. And just in the morning, there were several leaders of several large hunting groups that had signed employment contracts with us, the 'Red Dragon Hunting Group', the 'Iron Eagle Hunting Group', and the 'Paladin Hunting Group' We came to our door together and they refused our employment."
Reina's eyebrows furrowed as she listened to the bad news one after another, "But haven't we already signed an employment contract?"
"Yes."
The housekeeper said in a serious tone: "But they paid a high amount of liquidated damages and tore up the contract. I am negotiating with the Wilderness Hunters Union, but the effect is not great. I heard that the second and third houses have united the five major families in the camp. , paid the liquidated damages. Moreover, they have said that they will suppress any hunting group that cooperates with us. Up to now, no matter how high the price is, no other hunting group dares to contact us. Therefore, except for the young lady from the family There are not many people we can use for the people we brought and the "Cross Society" hunting group. It has been confirmed that all the major families in the inner city must go hunting this time, so we will be very passive and the risk of this hunting will be It's very big. I'm worried that those people want to isolate and encroach on the family's power, and then put pressure on the master and the others, or even have a bigger plot."
As Reina listened, the look in her eyes became more and more solemn.
After a pause, the old housekeeper continued: "Also, the Clark family sent someone to pass on the message before, saying that they could help solve our dilemma. They probably wanted to see you, but Miss, you said you couldn't see me, so I refused. But if possible, Miss can try to contact a few allies at this cocktail party. Some families that we have made good friends with before want to come and see if they can help me."
Leina: "Yeah. Got it."
Su Lun and Qian Jiao walked unhappily.
Although Qianjou's ladylike dress was really pretty, she really didn't like it.
Su Lun hugged her waist, and the two behaved intimately.
It's not that she's trying to be pretentious, but this young woman with a gambling addiction is really uncomfortable wearing a skirt.
"I can't even move my legs in this **** skirt! Boy Su Lun, please hold me closer, these high heels are so awkward"
As the two of them walked, Su Lun heard that Qian Tiao disliked the dress more than once.
But fortunately the walking distance is not too far.
Along the way, they also met many young masters and ladies dressed up, all of whom seemed to be attending cocktail parties.
Looking at the handsome pair of Su Lun and Qian Jiao, it is inevitable to look at them with envy.
The two walked and chatted all the way.
Qianjou explained to Su Lun: "Your current identity is 'Zorro'. This identity is a bounty hunter registered with the Bounty Guild. Although you are somewhat famous, no one has seen you. At that time, you may meet some people from my family, and they will ask you some questions. So, do you understand?"
"Yeah. Got it."
Su Lun listened with a bright smile on his lips.
Of course there is no problem with the identity arranged by Chijo. In her words, "The best identity disguise is substitution."
This is better than Su Lun's own fake identity.
As for the following words, although Qianjou said them in a cryptic way, Su Lun also heard them.
Qian Tiao boss is still unavoidable when it comes to marrying an older young woman. She needs a shield when meeting people in her family.
"So, Sister Senjo, you went to the Cross Society because you escaped from marriage?"
"Otherwise? Of course, this is one of the reasons. You should have guessed the others."
"Sister Qianjou, people say you don't like men. Is this true?"
"It's fake! Sister, I not only don't like men, I don't like women either, I only like knives!"
""
The two of them were already very familiar with each other, and they talked about these topics without any hesitation.
While walking, the two of them suddenly saw an acquaintance.
A young girl in an evening dress was surrounded by a group of guards and walked out of a white-painted hotel with a "Unicorn" sign.
Looking at that beautiful straight black hair, who is it if it’s not Reina?
She seemed a little absent-minded, and also noticed the two Su Lun passing by.
Senjou greeted: "Rena~"
Rena looked at Senjou and seemed to be stunned for a moment before she recognized it. Then her crystal eyes became colorful and she came forward excitedly: "Ah, Auntie Senjou~"
Qianjou walked over and rubbed her head, "Xiao Nizi, what are you thinking about, with a sad face?"
After hearing this, Reina tried to force out a smile, but her little face looked worried.
As for the elders in the family, she had nothing to hide and said directly: "The housekeeper just said that the hunting group that signed a contract with us has broken the contract"
"Oh, it's a small thing."
After hearing this, Qianjo waved his hand disapprovingly.
She then introduced Su Lun beside her: "This is my friend 'Zorro', a very powerful bounty hunter. He will also help with this hunting."
Leina glanced at Su Lun, who was holding her aunt's arm, and couldn't hide her curiosity.
She remembered that her aunt had never been so intimate with a man?
But she didn’t look much. She held her skirt, bowed and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Zorro. This is the first time we meet, please take care of me."
Su Lun nodded, "Yeah."
The two people walking alone turned into a group of people and walked towards the small slope
The reception will be held at Storm Manor.
In order to welcome the arrival of Princess Theresa, the original hunting guild also moved its location.
The major families in the camp pooled all their resources to renovate the thousand-year-old manor and built a brand new luxurious manor.
After handing over the invitation, the guards stayed at the gate of the manor.
Su Lun, Qian Jiao and Reina entered the manor.
Different from the dilapidated and noisy scene before, Storm Manor now has a brand new look.
The garden is lush and lush, with colorful flowers blooming brilliantly, and dead trees sprouting branches with lush leaves. The green plants have been carefully repaired by the gardener, and walking in gives people a refreshing feeling.
This is probably a garden created by wood warlocks who spent a lot of resources.
When you walk into the building, it is even more magnificent.
But Su Lun felt a little strange in this mansion, because he always felt like he was looking at the cursed space scene when he traveled through time.
Especially the layout of this manor, anyone who knows architecture will know it at a glance.
It should be a banquet hall, or a banquet hall.
The location where the reception was held this time was the location of the "Bloody Banquet".
The banquet hall was brightly lit, soothing music echoed in the hall, and young ladies and young men in gorgeous clothes were chatting and laughing with wine glasses in their hands.
When Su Lun and the other three came in, they naturally attracted the attention of those people.
But what was a little embarrassing was that the three of them were immediately ignored, without even the most basic nod.
These are young masters and ladies from major families in the inner city. They all knew each other and even had close friendships.
Qianjou hadn’t been in the upper-class social circle for a long time. She didn’t want to pay attention to these people, so it was normal for those people to ignore her.
But something is wrong, especially for the eldest lady of a top chaebol like Reina.
When the Reyes family was not divided, she was always admired by the stars wherever she went.
But now, when these people saw her, not only did no one come up to say hello, but they seemed to be avoiding something, and their eyes were evasive.
Leina didn't mind either, but she was a little worried, and said in a low voice: "I heard from the housekeeper that the situation in Old Town is not good either. This time my father asked me to bring almost all the high-level guards at home. I don’t know if there will be any problems."
Qianjou listened with disapproval on his face, "Don't worry, those guys won't succeed so easily."
Leina: "Yeah."
Su Lun glanced at it and identified some people based on his memory.
Standing next to Reina, even Su Lun, the third party, suffered some inexplicable "malice". He raised his eyelids, and the corner of his mouth showed a hint of a smile: "Little girl Reina has a lot of enemies."
I can imagine that if I go hunting this time, I am afraid that anyone I encounter will be an enemy.
However, Su Lun did not take these malicious intentions to heart.
With Qian Jiao's boss around, the situation in the Reyes family will not collapse. At least Reina will not die so easily.
No matter what happens, with Su's current strength, without a third-level professional, he really has no right to make him feel threatened.
Having more enemies is not a bad thing in some respects
"Tsk, tsk, I'm afraid Reina will be in big trouble this time. I heard that they have even hired a decent hunting group now. By then, with the few people they brought out from the inner city, I’m afraid I won’t be able to support it for long”
"Now the major families in the inner city have united to isolate themselves, and no one dares to help them"
"I heard that Miss Sophia, the second wife of Reyes, and Mr. Danzig of the Oliver family have been in close contact recently, and they seem to be planning to get engaged. When the powerful forces join forces, the pattern of the inner city will change."
""
Su Lun listened for a while and quickly understood.
The Reyes family was once indeed a top chaebol, but after splitting into seven, their influence was not as good as before.
Moreover, some families that were once allies have also become enemies.
The seven separated families are naturally at odds with the main family, and can even be said to be enemies.
Furthermore, they were all offended to death, and those families who had been in trouble were naturally thinking of beating them to death to avoid future troubles, or to get a piece of the pie.
After all, Reina brought many direct masters this time, and she is still the sole heir. If the group is really destroyed in the ruins, it will definitely directly affect the situation in the inner city.
With internal and external troubles, the situation is indeed worrying.
The three of them ignored the whispers from others and found a corner to talk.
No one bothers me, and I don’t have to deal with the so-called upper class society.
With the support of the elder Qian Jiao, Reina's worries became better.
However, as we chatted, Qianjo's "trouble" also came.
Several ladies came over with their unhappy sons.
The middle-aged woman wearing a large emerald necklace around her neck greeted Qianjiu: "Oh, Otilia, long time no see, why are you here~"
Not only young masters and ladies came here this time, but also mothers from many families who were worried about their precious sons and daughters being wronged.
Qianjou looked at the visitor and frowned obviously, but he had to say hello: "Aunt Camilla, long time no see."
Su Lun listened to the exchange between the two, glanced at Qianjiao from the corner of his eye, and felt a little curious in his heart.
It turns out that this young gambling addict's real name is "Ottilia Evelyn".
And that other blond woman, who still retains her jewels and charm, is actually Senjo's stepmother?
That little boy with an unruly face is actually her half-brother in name?
Then there are various relatives of the Evelyn family, aunts and uncles and their children.
What follows are various greetings.
There are all kinds of red tape in the upper class society. They say hello, return gifts, introduce juniors, say hello, return gifts, and greet the elders in various ways, recalling the friendship between the elders
Then, there is the urge to get married.
"Ottilia, you're too old to be young, don't hang out with the common people in the outer city all the time. I heard that you are still related to the gang? Oh, my god, if word spreads, others will also say that our Evelin family I’m in despair”
"You don't know, I talked about you yesterday when I was chatting with Mrs. Albertini. They both said that there is an old girl in our Eveline family who can't get married"
"Otilia, you are not young anymore. Dr. Enzo of the Smith family is a good young man. Their family owns eight hospitals in District 5"
""
Not only Qian Tiao, but Su Lun felt dizzy when he heard it.
When he traveled to this world, all he encountered was fighting and killing.
It turns out there are still ordinary people
Listening to the large-scale marriage urging scene that was no different from the previous life, Su Lun finally understood why Qian Jiao brought him.
Qianjou directly interrupted the increasingly unreliable introduction and pulled Su Lun to stand up, "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce. This is Mr. Zorro. My friend."
Su Lun also took off his hat and made a greeting: "Zorro Serna, it is an honor to meet all of you beautiful ladies."
