Chapter 113: .Cocktail party

The next morning, a gilded invitation with a strong fragrance was sent to the "Green Field" Hotel.
Yun Xuan lazily leaned on the long rattan chair in the small courtyard on the ground floor, and threw the invitation in his hand at the stone table. He glanced at the golden signature "Lonnie West" on the paper, and continued to hide. The small pavilion covered by grape leaves swallows clouds and mists, not commenting on the sudden invitation.
Jie Hai stood in the sunlight beside him, holding a small teapot, his face looked respectful, and his heart was really beaten. Last night, he made an appointment with Yuming for a duel, and in a blink of an eye, he reached the Dark Swamp for no apparent reason. After that, he met the mercenary team and was taken back to Rock City. He explained to the teacher clearly, but subconsciously concealed the practice experience. exist.
He was a little uneasy at first, not knowing where he would encounter this strange phenomenon, and was hoping that the teacher could answer questions. But I didn’t expect Yun Xuan to listen, but he didn’t say a word. He seemed to be in a daze while smoking. He couldn’t hold back and asked a few more cautiously, but he was vaguely perfunctory by the other party, causing him to feel mad. , Did not sleep well all night.
It was not early in the morning that the teacher called again, and he didn’t know what to do. He waited for tea with his heart in his heart. After waiting for a while, Yun Xuan finally spoke slowly: "You will go to Carlo Workshop for me in a while. , I went to Gloria and said that I had a thank you banquet for her to attend, and I told her according to this time address..."
He raised his pipe and pointed at the invitation. Jie Hai said "Oh" as if he didn't understand, and then listened to his instructions: "Remember to ask her to bring more people...the more the better."
"Remember." He nodded honestly, and watched Yun Xuan get up and set his cloak as if he was going to travel, he couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Teacher, aren't you going to participate?"
"I have something to go out..." The priest was not ashamed of playing tricks on the junior. If nothing had happened, he put on his cloak and waved his hand to leave. However, he caught sight of the young man's nervous and helpless face, his heart softened and warm. Yan soothed, "You can take Yuno and join us. I won't go far, and I'll be back tomorrow at the latest." After he said this, he didn't look at the disciple's face anymore, and the cloak strode out. went.
Jie Haichu rubbed the tip of his nose depressed by the bench. The doubt in his heart was still unresolved, and the teacher was about to leave, which made him feel a little disappointed. But he also knows that this teacher has always been confusing. He had no choice but to take the invitation and read it twice. Then he frowned and scratched his head, sighed, and went out for work. Fang Gaodi ran.
It was just after the early morning, and the workshop was busy all night and night, rushing to complete as many orders as possible in the last two days before the conference.
Leah stole a little bit of leisure today, lying on the mat in her small room, lying in front of the window sill while flipping through the magazine published by the South Island, while sipping on the iced yogurt drink, she was in a very pleasant mood.
Since she stabbed the pesky black snake yesterday, it may have made him angry, but today she has not seen anyone at all, and she suddenly felt that even the dull air of the workshop was filled with joy. Of course, the main reason why she is so happy is that her best sister, the current lord of the Northland Turner, and the head of the "Ice Bears" team, is about to return to her hometown. Rock City!
Since going to the Guild Hall last week to complete the S-class mission, Rhea has hurriedly bid farewell to everyone due to family affairs and boarded the airship heading north. I have come back during this period, but I was also busy arranging business routes. Even if we didn’t have time to talk a few words, when we left, she hurriedly set off with Grey Eagle who wanted to open up a new business route, which made her feel so much. Somewhat lost.
The two originally met every day in Rock City and laughed and laughed, not to mention how happy, but now Rhea's identity has changed drastically. As the lord of the lord, she naturally has to carry the family lifeline and can no longer act arbitrarily. Suddenly, she felt a sense of indescribable crisis. The two of them are far away, and if they meet less, the feelings will naturally fade away. Will there be a day of forgetfulness after all? Just like his father...
Leah thought of the smelly old man who had been in the roaring laboratory all year round and barely saw one side. A lot of resentment suddenly arose. She pouted and took a few sips of iced drinks, and she was choked by the extreme chills. With a blue complexion and a trembling throat, he hurriedly got up and coughed hard, only to hear someone knocking on the door outside: "Miss, downstairs..."
"I know, I know!" She pinched her nose and interrupted her message. After the irritation subsided, she took a few breaths and then wondered her identity as a guest: who was it so early in the morning. Ah...hey? Could it be that Rhea has arrived! When she thought of this, her eyes were bright, and she didn't care to clean it up, she tucked her hair casually, put on a pair of wooden slippers, kicked it and ran downstairs.
She rushed straight to the living room of the bottom floor, and when she saw the figure standing at the door, her smile suddenly collapsed, and she muttered slightly unpleasantly: "Why are you..."
Jihai, a young man in a gray cloak, stood in the sun, looking at the girl with fluffy hair and a little flower nightdress, lowered her head uncomfortably and smirked: "Good morning, Miss Vera. Well, my teacher asked me to come. Bring you a message..."
teacher? The girl suddenly remembered that this seemingly ordinary boy was not the person Daikin was looking for? Could it be that he turned out to be a disciple of that adult! ? She glared again, and slowly turned around him twice as if she saw the sea for the first time, before she hooked her mouth to move forward, patted him the shoulder with a manly smile and said, "Okay. Ah, you are not honest! Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a big thing? Huh?"
"Uh...you, haven't you asked..." As soon as she approached, Jiehai smelled the sweet and fruity scent, and he blushed and took a small step back.
Gloria was in a daze, and then it was abrupt to think about what she was asking. Even if he said his identity, no one would believe it before he was confirmed... She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she changed the subject with a smile. Said: "Does that lord have any instructions?"
"The teacher said, he...he had a thank-you dinner. He thought, I would like to invite you to attend. Bring more people... the more the better." The boy stammered and told lies, and he felt awkward.
"Thank you for the dinner?" The girl turned her eyes and felt something was wrong. Although the adult could be called a rich world, she was always stingy. She never saw him entertain guests... She didn't say anything, so Without knowingly, Zuo agreed, "Okay! Bring more people? When and where did you do it?"
Seeing her promise, Jie Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke sharply: "It's in the'Huojue' tavern in the Western District, starting at 5 o'clock in the evening."
"'Huojue' right, well, I know it!" The girl pretended to nodded calmly, then gave a smirk, leaned over and stabbed Jiehai's arm with her elbow, "Hey, don't forget it in the future. The kindness of this lady, if that adult has something to do, you must remember to let me know! You know?"
"Uh..." Jie Hai opened his mouth again when he smelled the sweetness of the girl, his complexion was developing towards the red persimmon, and a soft call from a short distance outside the door finally saved him: "Leah, I am back……"
"Sister Riya!" The girl threw her ears up and ran out of Jiehai, holding the person's arm with a smile on her face.
Jie Hai let out a long sigh of relief and turned around to look at it. Three different figures were walking towards the gate of the workshop. The first person was wearing a short red-patterned samurai skirt, a gray cloak, and her face was full of heroic brows. But it was Miss Turner, who was once married. Oh...According to Mr. Yuno, she should be called His Highness Turner is right.
On her left is a thin and tall man who wraps himself in a gray cloak, with a soft cloth bag in his hand, and no face is visible, but Jie Hai guesses that it should be the big brother Gray Eagle who took him out of the cave. .
The giant middle-aged man on her right is really eye-catching. He is afraid of not less than three meters tall, his face is full of silver beards, his body is full of muscles, his upper body is only wearing a bearskin ring armor culottes, his waist is matched with two one-meter-long double-sided broad axes, and the axe blades are on blue light. Shooting everywhere, looking scared.
Jie Hai was staring at the three visitors, and after a few breaths, they all stood at the door of the living room. Rhea took her good sister's arm affectionately, raised her eyes to see the stunned young man, and said with a kind smile: "It's Jiehai, long time no see."
"Okay...long time no see, Your Highness Turner." He was just in a trance, and he hurriedly bowed his body and bowed a bow after reacting.
"You don't have to call me that." The female lord smiled and waved her hand, turned her head and glanced at Leah, silently asking about the boy's intentions.
The girl almost forgot about the banquet at the moment, staring at Jie Hai and rolling her eyes, she smiled and asked, "Hey, you just said that the more people the better, right?"
The young man nodded blankly, and she snickered and glanced at the middle-aged giant who was looking around with a sullen face, and leaned in Riya’s ear and whispered:
Sister Riya, I will call you the best in your team later. Those who eat, go to the bar with me. Me, but find a super bodyguard for you..."
bodyguard? The female lord looked at this girlfriend in confusion, but only received a smug smirk.
It is getting more and more westward, and it is in the evening when the "Huo Jue" tavern is surrounded by several layers of idlers, and it becomes more and more crowded.
Everyone has known for a long time that Master Langni, a great businessman, is going to invite someone to a banquet tonight, and the second floor of the tavern is specially reserved to entertain guests. If you want to be someone else, don't want to let these unruly mercenaries give up their territory. It's just that the aristocratic young master from the South Island is really good at being a man, and he is generous in his shots. Although his temper is softer, he is not annoying.
What's more, the person he invited was from Carlo's workshop, maybe there was that lady in it! It is indispensable to be a mercenary, but you can't afford the expensive magic potions. Relatively speaking, the magical device with affordable price and wide range of functions has naturally become a hot commodity. There is a chance to sell it to the workshop more or less thin noodles, maybe you can get a relationship in the future, this sale is not a good deal! ?
As a result, this large group of rough guys simply hid outside the house consciously, drinking the pure ale specially presented by Master Lonnie, while blowing the cool breeze from the end of the day, laughing and talking, don't have a sense of pleasure.
The crowd gathered more and more, and they were drinking more and more. They heard waves of exclamations coming from far and near. They turned their heads in surprise and saw a giant man who was almost twice as tall as ordinary people on the road. Line up the crowd. The man was burly and frightening, with two cold-light axes stuck in his waist, and his big fan-like hands waved from side to side in the crowd, but they seemed to be extremely gentle and did not hurt people at all. It can be seen that his control of his own power has reached the limit. Place.
Looking behind the big man again, isn't it the Miss Leah that everyone is thinking of! ? At this moment, everyone was filled with joy, secretly sighing good luck, and they couldn't help standing up and coaxing and greeting the female local tyrant, but automatically ignored the "vassals" around her.
Gloria led a group of men, women and children, smiled and replied a few words with the mercenaries surrounding the tavern, and then stood along the road where the crowd escaped to the stone gate. She raised her eyes and scanned the red wine flag sign above her head, then turned her head and glanced behind her, facing several pairs of eyes with different expressions: the cat boy with longing, Koni, still hiding his face in the cloak. The gray eagle, Panta the bear-changer with a silly smile, and of course the squat speed power Anare.
Because the conference is approaching, the members of the team are busy with various preparations, and there are not many people who can come, so her careful thoughts of taking the opportunity to dominate the gold medal are lost. Forget it, at least there is this super big guy... She glanced at the giant man standing in front of her like a pillar, then put on a snicker, and Rhea, who was holding her cloak to cover her face, walked in, without thinking about the tavern. She ran out of the figure quickly and almost ran into the opposite side of her.
"Oh, it's really disappointed! Disappointed!" Master Lonnie smiled with a spring breeze. After seeing that the visitor was actually the head of Carlo Workshop, he was overjoyed and waved and said, "I didn't expect Miss Vera. You are here too, it is really an honor, please go upstairs and sit first!"
He seemed to greet the guests familiarly, but Leah was at a loss: wasn't it the banquet hosted by the adult? Who is this person in front of me? These days, she was busy working in the highland workshop and rarely went out, so she knew nothing about this man in the mercenary circle.
But the other party is so polite, she is not easy to put a high posture, smiled and replied with a polite way: "Fortunately, this gentleman, may I ask you?"
"Forgot to introduce, my next is Lonnie West, Miss Vera, you are so knowledgeable, you must have heard of our Wester family, speaking of us and you are half of the same company!" Kuo Shao is quite self-conscious. Flicked his forehead bangs lovingly, confident in the popularity of the family business.
"West? Oh..." The girl nodded suddenly. The West family almost monopolized the entire camcorder industry. Naturally, she had heard about it a long time ago, but today it was the adult who hosted a banquet. Why did you invite such an exaggeration? What about the guy doing "welcome"? Could it be that the adult made some camcorders intentionally?
When she thought that there was a crisis of being an enemy and an opponent, she glanced at the gorgeous beaded dress with wide eyes and slandered in her heart the phrase "mummy nouveau riche", but deliberately smiled sweetly, with Everyone went upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Miss Vera is quite cute, not as fierce as everyone said... The girl's innocent smile made Kuo Shao feel happy, secretly happy. He watched several people follow upstairs back and forth, his eyes stagnated for a moment for the giant man, but he still couldn't see the master who invited today, and he couldn't help being a little surprised.
Probably they left separately... He didn't think much about it. He stood by the door and talked and laughed with the mercenaries for a while, and saw two young cloaked boys squeezing through the crowd towards him.
"Hello, uh... I am, we are here for the banquet." Jie Hai took the little shop manager all the way through the crowds, and was almost overwhelmed. He wiped the sweat on his face before he invited it. Tie handed it up with both hands.
"Welcome, welcome..." Lonnie took the invitation and didn't read it. He glanced behind them again, and couldn't help but wonder, "I wonder when the adult will arrive?"
"I'm really sorry, teacher, he... he went out temporarily..."
"Really, that's a shame..." Kuo Shao looked at the laughing young man in front of him, and naturally understood that this was just an excuse. When he was disappointed, he thought of the word "teacher". When he turned his eyes, he could not help. Surprised, "Could you be Jiehai, right?"
"Uh, yes..." The little clerk was a little at a loss, wondering how the strange young master knew his name.
"Haha, I'm worrying about this. I didn't expect you to have been together. It's really gratifying, please sit upstairs!" Lonnie was happy again, as long as he had a good relationship with this "brother", Are you afraid that you will not be able to worship the teacher in the future? He glanced at another young man under his cloak, and grabbed Jiehai's arm. The brothers took him upstairs well. The appearance that he had already known really made the little shop assistant feel a little embarrassed.
Yuno seemed to be in a bad mood, and followed them up to the second floor without saying a word. He looked up and saw a group of people around the big round table. Among them was Rhea, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and could not help but lift his cloak in surprise. He shouted: "Sister Rhea, you are finally willing to come back!"
He hurried past the two people in front of him and walked to the table, said hello to the friends he knew well, and looked at the mighty giant curiously, then smiled and said to the female archer who was taking off his hood: " Sister Rhea, let me tell you in advance that I will also sign up for the team competition this time. Maybe we will meet again!"
Rhea looked at the glamorous blond boy in front of him, and cocked her mouth slightly and smiled: "Really? At that time, I have to ask your men to show mercy."
"You want to participate?" The female alchemist suddenly stared and asked in confusion, "Who are you with? The team competition requires five people!"
"...Temporarily keep it secret." The little doctor was still having a headache because of his father's refusal to send his subordinates to assist in the match.
Lonnie brought Jie Hai to the table and looked at the female archer who showed her true face with fiery eyes, and asked with excitement, "Is this...Is this Miss Ria who is known as the "Ice Phoenix"?"
"Fortunately meeting." Rhea knew that due to the secret operation of a certain "dead enemy", her real name had already spread in Rock City, and she was not surprised, and gracefully nodded and said hello.
Kuo Shao smirked and stared at the feminine gentle face in the heroic aura, immersed in the opponent's unattainable aura. This naked desire finally caused a few discerning people to feel unhappy. Gloria frowned and was about to accuse him of being rude, when she heard a roar like a mountain cry: "God J! God J!"
The big guy is back! ? She didn't care about getting angry when she moved her heart. She trot to the railing and looked down. She saw the black-clothed and black-trousered swordsman stepping into the tavern with an unchanging cold face. She raised her head and looked at her if he felt it. Immediately waved his hand and said, "Big man, come upstairs. Someone invites us to drink!"
