The Whispering Verses Chapter 2673: Banquet at Earl Collins’ Manor
Chapter 2672 Banquet at Earl Collins' Manor
"Beas is the chosen one, Danister. As a teacher, you can't just care about his studies."
"Yes, how about I ask him not to attend the wedding with the girls for a while and let him stay and read a book with me tonight? We can sit on the sofa together and cuddle up and talk about the stories in the book, or we can Hold hands and go to the woods to practice thaumaturgy under the moon."
Daniste Gustave said this deliberately, and then she saw her friend showing an angry expression.
The family that took advantage of the Moon Dance Festival to hold a wedding with great fanfare that even interested Prince William was the Collins family, the truly aristocratic family in Vista City.
The banquet that Shade and Miss Winslet attended before the Moon Dance Festival last week was held by Earl Collins, and the Collins family is also the most powerful family in the local area since the days of Brookwood.
Mr. Ogg, the elder of the hermits in 1802, said that the sheriff, the town mayor, the chairman of the lumberjacks association, and the bishop of the local church were the four pillars of the town, and the Collins family served as the local town hall all year round. long position. Even in modern times, even if the family gradually disappears from the scene, the current mayor of Vista is still a relative of the Collins family.
As for the person getting married this time, it was the second son of the Collins family. The young Mr. Collins was not married to a local girl, but to the youngest daughter of Earl Collins' friend in Willondale, Earl Gowther.
For this reason, in addition to the local nobles, this wedding was also attended by many relatives of the woman from Willondale City. According to Miss Winslet, the Earl of Gowther's family is also distantly related to the royal family:
"Earl Gowther is one of the few real powerful earls nowadays, and he even has a fief. He is a big shot in Willendale."
The Collins family's wedding was not held in the city, but at the Collins family's old residence in the north of the city. Similar to the Bennet family, it is also a house that has been passed down by the Collins family since the days of Creekwood. It is said that every generation of Collins family boys got married there, so the family's old house is quite well maintained.
Shad, Iluna, Miss Winslet and Miss Bell set out from the hotel at half past five in the evening, and by the time they arrived at Collins Manor in the north of the city, it was already completely dark.
Collins Manor is not in the city, but on the edge of the city, but it is connected to the city by roads, and there are family farms, forest farms, a small cemetery and neighboring villages nearby, so it is not considered remote.
When Shade saw the manor from a distance from the window, the lights had already lit up the usually deserted Collins old house. Even before he arrived, Shade could feel the bustling scene.
"This is probably the last large-scale outdoor banquet held locally before next spring."
The witch on the carriage still sighed, while Iluna asked Shade:
"Remember the last autumn banquet we attended in Tobesk last autumn?"
Xia De smiled and nodded:
"Of course I remember, Princess Mona Cavendish and Mr. Randolph Ellsberg held their wedding at Lakeview Manor. At that time Margaret, I mean Princess Margaret of the South happened to be visiting Tobesk also attended the wedding. I remember it was very lively."
At that time, it was not just them, Shade also met Sir Prisha, the chosen one of "Knowledge and Wisdom", and met Pavo, the vice-president of the "Truth Society" at the wedding Rhodes game. Miss.
Of course, the woman who firmly believes that "mathematics is omnipotent" is now the president of the Truth Society.
"If you are expecting a banquet based on that level of wedding, you will probably be disappointed. Compared with Tobesk, this place can only be regarded as the countryside."
The witch said on the side, still thinking about how Miss Sylvia followed Margaret when she visited Tobesk last year, and then thought about how Carina asked Shade to avoid young people at that time. The great witch of space.
"It doesn't matter, I have attended country weddings too."
This refers to the wedding that I attended in order to find the demon Stone Oxenfurt during the Randall Valley Incident, but there were not many interesting memories at that wedding.
Although Vista City cannot be compared with Tobesk City, after all, the people getting married this time were two young men and women from count families, so calling it a "country wedding" is actually a bit discriminatory.
The red carpet was spread from the front of the manor house to the entrance of the manor, and the housekeepers and servants responsible for welcoming guests stood in two rows at the door.
In the courtyard of the manor, white wooden tables are placed in rows along the central axis of the manor. The candlesticks on the table and the gas lamps of various shapes that can be seen everywhere in the courtyard landscape illuminate the sumptuous food and gold on the table. silverware.
Even every tree and flower bush in the courtyard was decorated with ribbons, and the fountain in the center of the courtyard where the knight was riding a horse and raising his sword was even hung with garlands and ribbons.
It was already a little late when the group of four arrived, and most of the guests who came to attend the wedding had already arrived. As a fairly important guest, Miss Winslet was temporarily separated from Shade and Iluna after entering the manor. She needed to take Miss Bell to say hello to the Earl and today's newcomers.
????????????.??????
"I have been saying today that the air in this city is so good."
Iluna and Shade, holding Shade's arms and wearing long indigo dresses, stood at the long table in the courtyard and said. The two of them had also given gifts when they entered just now, but they were prepared by Miss Winslet, and they didn't know what the gifts were.
"This is a city in the woods after all, and there aren't many steam factories in Vista City."
Shad took a cupcake from the table and handed it to Iluna. This is a new dessert that has only become popular in the southern country in the past ten years. Shade just noticed that Iluna has been looking at this cupcake curiously. side.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if there are more steam factories. I don't hate the smell of Tobesk. Although it is choking, it is also a symbol of the development of that city."
Eluna stood next to Shade, watching him tear open the cupcakes, and then did the same herself:
"And the good thing about big cities is that the church has enough manpower. Although it is more likely to cause problems because of the dense population, there are thirteen rings guarding it all year round, so there is no need to worry about big troubles that cannot be handled. That one is over there. William Anjou?"
She also met Prince Liang of the Southern Kingdom when she was in Randall Valley, so she recognized him. Shade looked up and saw William Anjou talking to an old gentleman he had never seen before, under the long string of sheds with desserts on the right side of the mansion.
The prince specially changed into a low-key red dress today. In addition, not everyone has seen him, so he does not have to worry about being seen while standing in a remote location.
"Yes, did you see the officer walking towards him? The one in uniform, he is York Brontë."
"Understood~"
While Iluna was eating the cake in small bites next to Shade, she used the witch's eye shadow effect to cover her left eye, which had temporarily returned to brown. She was not using her ability to stop time, but was trying to observe.
Shade did not urge her, but after both of them had eaten their respective cakes and Shade brought two more glasses of champagne, Iluna said:
"I saw some very cruel scenes. He seemed to have eaten a deer in the surrounding woods not long ago. If this is the Dead Apostle you talked about in the afternoon, this kind of thing is indeed cruel."
"Can you really see the past?"
Shad was very surprised, but Iluna shook her head:
"I haven't found a pattern for this ability, but it seems to work better for people who are defined as 'imbalanced'. And I not only saw what he just did, I also saw it"
She frowned slightly as if she had encountered some difficulty:
"This man doesn't have any trace of death on his body, which is definitely not normal. Even you and me, because we live in this world, will have more or less traces of death on our bodies, but he doesn't. Special He has just ended a life, and there is no way that the breath of death remains."
"Wait a moment."
Shad took out an acorn from his pocket and ate it, then activated the sensor again:
"Yes, he still does not belong to this point in time. Based on the current intelligence, John Bronte has a high probability of permanently avoiding death by traveling through time."
"This kind of person should not exist in this world. His existence itself is breaking the balance of the world."
The eighteen-year-old girl took the wine glass from Shade and touched it lightly. Then she moved her eyes away from York Bronte in the distance and looked at Shade instead. Germany:
"Xia De, I happened to be here today on leave. Why don't we go kill him now."
Xia De tried his best to hold back his laughter. It was so interesting to see Iluna’s expression at this time:
"We definitely can't let him go. His life form is wrong. But not now. First of all, we haven't figured out what happened to him. Secondly, Death Apostles can't be killed casually. I'm here Waiting for a deadly weapon."
"Okay then."
Eluna gently shook the wine glass in her hand:
"So what should we do now? Just stand here and wait for Miss Winslet and the others to come back?"
"Let's just walk around and observe if York Bronte does anything strange. I'm curious about what form his time curse will take."
The faces of both of them have been disguised to a certain extent. Although they still look like northerners, they are not very attractive. Although Shade wanted to observe York Brontë, he just wanted to keep him out of their sight.
In addition to casually looking at the scenery in the manor at night, the two of them also sat down and listened to a soothing serenade played by the band on the side of the manor house. York Brontë stood beside William Anjou, talking with the prince to several local nobles who looked very old.
