Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 468: Some daily routines at the wedding
This day, early morning.
"Teacher, we are leaving."
"Yeah."
Su Lun looked at his two disciples and nodded.
The current situation in Lingdun is very strange, with undercurrents surging. The big changes in the near future will definitely shake up the entire Lu Ying, and many top forces may reshuffle their cards. Kama and Yabok's current strength is not enough for them to protect themselves in such a big wave. Especially as Su Lun's disciples, once they are exposed to the public eye, they will definitely be in too much trouble.
What happened before is an example.
Beside the steam car, Kama looked at his gloved hands, his eyes slightly complicated.
Under the gloves is a pair of silver hands, which are mechanical hands that were kidnapped, cut off and spliced.
Although it does not affect the control of puppets and life, it can be regarded as a profound memory.
I have been recuperating in the small void world these days, and now I have to say goodbye. Karma looked at Su Lun, the corners of his eyes flashing: "Teacher, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Su Lun smiled and shook his head. The incident happened because of him, not because Kama was not careful enough.
He touched Kama's forehead and said: "Kama, Yabok, you should be more careful in the future. Go see more of the world."
Encountering setbacks is a misfortune in life, but surviving them is a gain and a valuable life experience.
Now that Kama and Aberke leave Linton for experience, it is also the beginning of their new adventure.
"Yes, teacher."
The two nodded and stepped onto the steam car that took them to the pier to take the boat on the street.
Su Lun watched the motorcycle disappear at the corner of the street, looked at the time, and then hailed a passing taxi.
Although I don’t really want to go out,
But today is the day he and Ekaterina agreed to attend the wedding banquet, and he must go there.
......
Getting in the car, the driver asked: "Where are you, sir?"
In Linton, those who can afford a taxi are either rich or expensive. The driver did not look down upon the young passenger in casual clothes at all.
Su Lun pondered for a moment and said: "North City, Rose Elysee Avenue."
"Okay! Sir, please sit down."
As soon as the driver heard the street name, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
The people who can live on that street are all the top dignitaries of Lu Ying, the real big shots.
But looking at the casually dressed passenger, he didn’t look like an aristocrat.
Moreover, the big shots all have their own cars and accompanying servants, and they rarely come by taxi alone.
Think about it, the driver smiled and asked: "Sir, are you a reporter?"
Su Lun chuckled noncommittally.
The locomotive traveled all the way, passed the Rington Iron Bridge, and arrived at Beicheng.
Su Lun has not been out for many days, but she has also read a lot of reports about this grand wedding from the newspapers.
The wedding of Lu Ying's top aristocrats was naturally not small. Su Lun sat in the back seat and looked at both sides of the street through the glass window. The flower beds were replaced with red flowers that represented celebration, and the gas lamps and sycamores on the roadside were There are also red ribbons hanging on the trees, making it a joyful scene.
As soon as he turned into Rose Elysee Avenue, Su Lun saw a group of reporters with cameras blocking the entrance of the manor, taking pictures of the guests coming and going.
Every car or carriage will have well-dressed guests coming out, and they will be surrounded by reporters on the red carpet for interviews.
When these reporters saw the taxi approaching, they probably thought they were traveling with them, but no one paid attention to them.
There are mounted police controlling traffic, and taxis can only park on street corners.
The driver said: "Three hundred liso, sir. Thank you."
Su Lun listened and handed over three hundred-denomination banknotes.
The driver took the money and added with a smile: "Today is the wedding of the prince and princess. You are really lucky to be invited to attend. Oh, I heard that Princess Catherine is so beautiful. It's like a fairy tale. Mr. Journalist, please take more photos. I hope I can see your work in tomorrow's newspaper..."
Su Lun smiled.
He opened the door and got out of the car. The sun was shining brightly and warmly on his body.
The sky is blue.
This is the first time that Su Lun has seen such good weather after coming to Linton for so long.
The blue sky, white clouds, white pigeons, and colorful streets are as dreamy as a fairy tale.
Su Lun walked towards the crowd.
"Machesay Manor" is the private estate of the Lance family in Rington and one of the top ten mansions in Rington.
It's not yet time for the banquet to start, but there are already guests who have arrived early.
Su Lun passed through the crowd of reporters, and everyone turned a blind eye to him.
Until he reached the door, the butler in a tuxedo stopped him politely and said, "Sir, please show me your invitation."
Su Lun naturally did not have an invitation. He just said lightly: "I am 'Fike Regadi'."
......
At the same time, in the manor.
In a luxuriously decorated and girly room, a group of maids were busy.
Ekaterina is sitting in front of the dressing table, and several makeup artists are helping her paint her eyebrows and eyes.
"Miss, Madam asked me to ask you that Master Fike from Lei Jia Di has not shown up yet. We will be meeting guests later. Do you want to hurry up?"
"No need. He will come on time."
"Yes, Miss."
The butler came and left again.
As a bridesmaid, Anna looked at her increasingly beautiful best friend in the mirror, with stars in her eyes. She had exclaimed eighty times: "Wow...Katyusha, you are really, really beautiful. Yes! If I were a man, I would definitely be stunned by you~"
How could she not know that her best friend is already more gorgeous than any other girl even if she only wears makeup and makeup? Dressed up today, her beauty is even more dazzling, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Not only is she beautiful, but the most special thing is the increasingly ethereal temperament of Ekaterina.
Anna doesn’t know what happened to her best friend recently, but she feels more and more ethereal, as if the last bit of mortal breath has gradually faded from her body, just like an angel in mythology.
Ekaterina listened to the joke and smiled slightly.
With this smile, she looked even more charming in the mirror.
Seeing the expression of her good friend, Anna looked even more exaggerated and intoxicated, "Oh, that 'Master Fike' must be the happiest man in the world to be able to marry such a beautiful girl."
After a pause, she thought of something again and asked: "But then again. That 'Master Fick' hasn't come yet? I heard that no one has been seen over at Raiga Land yet. Kah Qiu Sha, are you really not worried?"
Ekaterina smiled, her expression not showing the slightest hint of worry.
She originally wanted to say something more, but at this moment, she seemed to sense something and said: "He's here."
Anna was stunned when she heard this.
Coming?
What's coming?
"Yeah."
Ekaterina nodded.
As her beautiful eyes turned, she said again: "Anna, can you help me bring him over? He's in the living room. By the way, I want to apologize. I haven't finished my makeup yet, so it's not convenient for me in person. Let’s go there.”
"Huh?"
When she heard this, Anna was even more confused.
Now I understand that Fick is here?
But...
We are getting married. Your majestic prince of the Raigadi family is not with the man, so why are you coming to the woman’s house?
Although she felt strange, she looked at her best friend and said, "Okay!"
Anna walked briskly to the reception room with curiosity.
Sure enough, she saw Su Lun, who was still wearing casual clothes, sitting on the sofa like a guest.
......
Su Lun has no habit of being late and came half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
But when he arrived, he realized that his situation at this grand wedding was actually quite embarrassing.
He and the woman are exchanging interests and are considered outsiders.
The man and I have no trust except to be wary and are also outsiders.
It seems that the "groom" alone represents a third party.
I thought I had nowhere to go, so I had to come to Ekaterina first.
The people in Leijiadi were contacted by various trustees and asked him to meet him a few days ago.
Su Lun ignored it.
He didn't want to deal with the guys who murdered him twice.
The current situation is that even if the Leijiadi family is dissatisfied with him, there is nothing he can do about it.
And after today, there is no intention to use the identity of "Fike" at all.
Su Lun doesn’t need to give face at all.
He heard that Ekaterina was putting on makeup, and he originally planned to wait in the living room.
After all, we just took hundreds of thousands of tons of rare metals and ores from the Lance family, and we still owe some favors, so we have to pay a little bit.
What's more, if you lose a little face, you will also lose "Fick".
Su Lun didn’t have any psychological burden.
Unexpectedly, not long after he sat down, Miss Anna, whom he had met once before at the Royal Academy's anniversary dance, came to greet him.
.......
"Mr. Fike, are you here to see Katyusha? She asked me to tell you that she is putting on makeup and can't come to pick you up in person..."
Anna was wearing a **** low-cut bridesmaid dress, but she was not raw at all, and she held Suellen's arm without any problem.
After all, we have danced together before, so we are not strangers and have a good impression.
Su Lun knew that this was Yekaterina's best friend, so she had nothing to say and walked over.
After talking about the business, Anna gossiped again: "Mr. Fick, why are you here?"
Su Lun thought about it, it was not complicated, but it was hard to explain.
He responded with just a few words: "Promise."
"Huh?"
Anna blinked, as if she wanted to find out some big secret.
But seeing that Su Lun didn't mean to say more, she wisely didn't ask any more questions, and instead chatted a few words about his handsomeness.
Su Lun also responded politely and praised this bridesmaid who had a good personality.
At this time, the two of them had arrived at the door of the room on the second floor that was obviously the lady's boudoir.
Looking at the maids coming in and out, Su Lun was still a little hesitant, wondering if it would be rude to go in now.
But thinking that I was invited, I walked in calmly.
As soon as he entered the room, he looked at Ekaterina sitting on the dressing table, nodding and apologetically smiling at him in the mirror, "Sorry. You have to sit down for a while, and you will put on your makeup in a while."
"Yeah."
Su Lun looked at the pretty face in the mirror that seemed to be wearing a beauty filter, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
The Ekaterina in front of her is so beautiful that her whole body is glowing, which is indeed stunning.
But he didn't have much fluctuation in his heart.
At this time, a maid had moved a stool, and Su Lun sat there, watching the servants surrounding Yekaterina putting on makeup.
He had seen the luxurious life of the top nobles. Su Lun saw more than fifty servants coming in and out of the room just by bringing water and things.
Fortunately, with Anna, a familiar girl, it is not boring.
We chatted in the East and chatted in the West, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
This girl has a good personality and high emotional intelligence. She knows that she is getting married. "Fick" is here, so she obviously has something hidden.
But she was also very knowledgeable and didn't ask any more questions. Most of the topics were about praising the bride's beauty.
After a while, several makeup artists stopped, obviously they had finished applying makeup.
A few servants came in holding an extremely luxurious red and black dress.
Even though this is a dark-colored dress, it is dazzling under the light, shining with a gorgeous, rich, yet mysterious luster.
Anna looked at this dress and couldn't hide her envy and said: "This dress is called 'The Nightingale of Rocovalen'. It is inlaid with 700 of the most precious black diamonds in the world. It is really beautiful. The whole thing is so beautiful." Lu Ying, I can't find so many black diamonds anymore. Oh, only this kind of dress can match Katyusha's beauty..."
Looks like it’s time to change the bride’s clothes.
Seeing this, Su Lun wisely stood up to avoid it and said: "I'll go out for a while."
Unexpectedly, before she could stand up, Ekaterina not far away in front of her said, "No need."
She obviously knew that Su Lun was in an awkward situation.
If you really let him out, he will really be "an outsider".
There was no abnormality on her face, she smiled softly, and said: "Mr. Su Lun, just stay here. It's okay."
She called Suellen, not Fick.
Su Lun was slightly surprised when he heard this.
This time he was here to be a tool. Although he didn't mind too much, Ekaterina's lack of shyness did quietly alleviate the awkwardness of this moment.
Knowing that it may be a clever way to win over and show friendship, it doesn't make people feel disgusted at all.
Hearing this title, Su Lun suddenly felt like he saw the girl with big braids whose eyes were always shining with stars and poetry.
She is full of kindness to the world, innocent, brilliant and simple.
It was hard to tell for a while.
When Anna heard this, an ambiguous smile appeared on her face.
She felt inexplicably that the atmosphere at this moment was so envious.
......
After my lady spoke, the maids no longer cared about the fact that there was a man in the room and started busy.
Ekaterina is wearing girly pink home clothes.
Changing into a dress didn't require her to do anything. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, and the maids helped her unbutton her clothes and then took off her top. Because the pajamas I put on after taking a shower in the morning were empty without any underwear underneath. Although her waterfall-like wavy purple hair covered most of her beautiful back, through the full-length mirror, her front face and pride on her chest could just be seen.
Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, with a panoramic view.
First the top, then the trousers. My lady acquiesced, and the maids took off their clothes.
Ekaterina is very tall, with slender legs and excellent proportions.
With no clothes on, her figure is even more revealing.
The soft light shone on her delicate skin, exuding a charming luster like white porcelain.
Elegant and exquisite, it has a fairy spirit.
Even though her figure was almost completely exposed to the air, her beautiful face did not show any abnormality.
She looked at herself in the mirror with a calm expression, seemingly admiring her own beauty. Even her eyes made contact with Su Lun, and she responded with a generous smile.
It was this smile, like a princess from a fairy tale, that filled the whole room with a rich sense of poetry.
Su Lun did not avoid his gaze, but he also did not stare deliberately. But it was really like reading that beautiful passage in a fairy tale. The whole person was immersed in it, and the dreamlike scenes were all before his eyes.
Ekaterina's calm expression also made Su Lun extremely calm. He seemed to be admiring a beautiful piece of art, charming and wonderful.
Anna on the side couldn't look away. She was stunned for a moment before she praised in an exaggerated tone: "Katyusha's figure is really great!"
As she spoke, there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and she asked Su Lun next to her: "Do you think so, Mr. Su Lun?"
Only then did she learn the other name of Mr. Fick.
Furthermore, listening to her best friend shouting it just now, she also guessed that there might be a story in the name.
This inquiry made Su Lun wake up from the feeling of being immersed in beautiful poetry. His eyes took one more look at that wonderful figure, then he restrained himself and said, "Yes."
Hearing this, Ekaterina's eyebrows in the mirror moved slightly, and she quickly pursed her lips and smiled.
But there was no sadness or joy in her eyes.
Su Lun felt the ethereal state for a moment, and murmured in his heart: "It's very strong..."
Without retaining the beautiful scenery, the maids helped Ekaterina put on the dress, and the wonderful spring scenery was also covered up.
This set of "The Nightingale of Rocovalen" is a gothic court dress, which is also the mainstream of Lu Ying's upper class in recent years.
In addition to the hundreds of precious and luxurious black diamonds, the skirt also has a halo of light flowing around it. Under the light, the black gauze has a little bit of light, shining like a galaxy.
After Ekaterina put it on, she seemed to have the whole galaxy wrapped around her body. She was extremely beautiful and had a strong mysterious aura.
......
The news of Suellen's appearance at Melcheses Manor spread quickly.
People on both sides of the Lance family and the Raigadi family breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they didn't know why Su Lun appeared directly in the manor, it was someone who came.
The head of the Raigadi family, His Majesty the King "Legadi Eleven", who is also the biological father of "Fick", arrogantly sent someone to summon him to come and see him.
Su Lun ignored those people and didn't go anywhere.
If you offend, you are offended. Is it possible that the other party can bite him?
I invited him several times, but he never came.
Reluctantly, the Raigadi family could only send someone to deliver the wedding dress.
Even if "Fike" is a concubine, he is still a prince, so he must be well-dressed.
The clothes sent were a black uniform of the Storm Cavalry Regiment, which was once the uniform of the Royal Legion of the Marfa Empire.
Su Lun, a grown man, doesn’t need to put on makeup, and dressing up is simple. He was in Ekaterina's room. The maid helped him change clothes and borrowed the hair that the makeup artist had done.
His temperament and appearance are already outstanding. As soon as he dresses casually, his temperament suddenly rises.
Ekaterina was also dressed neatly. There was still a little time before the wedding started. There was nothing to do, so the two of them played chess leisurely in the room.
......
The manor was busy, there was a little noise outside the window, and many guests came in and out one after another.
But there was a peaceful and quiet atmosphere in this girl's boudoir.
Beside the window, the sun was shining brightly, the birds were chirping softly, and the lush greenery outside the window also spread into the house.
Two costumed wedding protagonists are playing chess calmly.
This time, Su Lun discovered that Ekaterina's chess skills were very high.
Su Lun himself has various skills, and his chess skills are not bad, at least the technical level is almost impeccable.
But in addition to the technical level, chess skills also have a higher level.
Su Lun knew it, but didn't touch it.
And Ekaterina is on this higher level.
Even if Su Lun is multi-tasking, he has no advantage at all when playing chess with Ye.
Her chess skills are far-reaching, domineering and decisive, and she is completely unlike the gentle and harmless lady she appears to be.
After the hand-to-hand talk, Su Lun also realized something else.
Neither of them is the first in line of succession of their respective families. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this marriage is purely a political exchange and does not have much impact on the situation.
But Su Lun knew that "Fike" was indeed a tool in the eyes of the Raigadi family.
But Ekaterina is definitely not!
Even though she is only the fourth daughter of the Archduke of Reims, her status is extraordinary.
At least since they started playing chess, no one dared to disturb them.
There's even a little hiccup.
Su Lun had just sensed the "Tulip Duke" Archduke Bartolo Lance who had beaten him in the North Sea. The Duke sneaked to the door of the room and looked at something furtively. Then he was discovered by his daughter. After taking a look, this Duke, who was extremely majestic in front of outsiders, quickly ran away like a thief.
Su Lun did not pretend not to see it.
Ekaterina did not deliberately hide anything in front of him.
The chat continues.
"I've asked the butler to write the Isaac Alchemy Manuscript on the list. The people in Raigadi will bring it when they hand over the gift list. You should be able to get it tonight."
"I have arranged for the factory to start secretly refining the potion for the treatment of the Red Death. But the quantity of finished products is not enough now, and it will take at least a few days to have enough potion to solve the problem. And once the potion appears in the world, it will To be prepared to break up with the 'Giant Hermitage', there will inevitably be big changes. My teacher also needs some time to prepare..."
"Are you a disciple of Master Pierre?"
"Yes. Apart from my father and Mr. Jing from your organization, only you know this news."
"Oh. No wonder."
"A few days ago, the leader of your organization went to visit the teacher, and I happened to be there. Mr. Jing talked about some of Liming's ideas, and the teacher said they were very good..."
"..."
The two of them move on the chessboard step by step.
The atmosphere of chatting is good.
Some talked about serious business, and some talked about trivial matters of life, as well as art, poetry, alchemy, etc.
The two of them seemed like new friends who had just met. They had many topics to talk about and were getting to know each other gradually.
On this sunny day, if you don't do anything else, just play chess by the window for a day, which seems to be very good.
But when it was raining, suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Miss, the time for the wedding is coming soon."
Listen, Ekaterina glanced at Su Lun and invited: "Let's go, the wedding is about to begin."
"Yeah."
Su Lun looked the same and nodded.
Weddings are not as fun as playing chess,
It's completely routine.
The maids outside the door came in, helping their own ladies to tidy up their dresses, and also helping Su Lun tidy up.
Suddenly, Yekaterina thought of something. She turned her head and looked at Su Lun beside her, and said seriously: "By the way, can we get acquainted again? My name is Yekaterina. Of course, you can too. Call me Katyusha."
Su Lun was slightly surprised.
In just a few games of chess, it felt like I had made a new friend.
Su Lun smiled kindly and politely, pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand, "Hello, Miss Ekaterina."
The two shook hands, and Ekaterina smiled in return.
ps. I wanted to write this plot well, but it was not satisfactory. Kawen was very stuck. From now on I will mark the chapters that I write about my daily life. If you don’t want to read them, just skip them. Please don't scold me either.
