Chapter 89 87: Dinner (Subscription, Monthly Ticket)
The carriage from the Mage Tower naturally has its own magical features.
Especially when driving on the road outside the city, although there are many potholes, a strange force appears under the wheels.
The carriage was lifted up so that it felt like walking on flat ground no matter where it went. Not only was the speed fast, but there was also no bumps at all.
Naturally, it would not affect the conversation in the carriage.
In response to Mrs. Linda's warning, Douglas Hill paused slightly and then gave an exaggerated smile.
"Mrs. Linda, I'm just going to a party and getting to know this popular young man in Auckland. Why are you so alert?"
Mrs. Linda also laughed, but her smile was cold: "Douglas, there are no outsiders here, so don't put on your ridiculous disguise, it's really disgusting!"
"As for you, you're the type who won't do anything unless it's beneficial. I don't believe you just want to get to know someone!"
The exaggerated smile on Douglas's face stiffened and subsided, and his eyes became cold: "I didn't expect that you would consider him so much?
I'm curious, is this your personal action, or is it the stance of your Ancient Spirit Mage Tower?"
Mrs. Linda asked, “Is there a difference?”
"The difference is huge. If it's your personal behavior, I can ignore you. Anyway, there are plenty of second-level potion masters!
But if it's the position of your Ancient Spirit Mage Tower, then I would be a little bit concerned, just a little bit!"
As he said this, Douglas laughed again, his smile full of malice, like a little devil who likes to cause trouble.
But after hearing his words, Mrs. Linda did not retreat, but smiled even more beautifully.
She asked, "Is it really just that little?"
Before Douglas could speak, she added, "I will tell my boss about this conversation, so Douglas, you better be careful with your answer!"
At this moment, the smile on Douglas' face froze. He gradually restrained his expression and his eyes became more serious.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Are you really going to do this for a bastard child?"
Madam Linda spoke without hesitation: "This illegitimate child you mentioned brought a complete corpse of a fire demon and the remains of a snake monster that was a descendant of Leviathan to my Ancient Spirit Mage Tower.
There's also a favor from a fourth-rank expert in the Church of the Sun, and income worth thousands of gold tyres!"
"That's just for now. Our cooperation is still ongoing. It's hard to say if there will be any surprises in the future!"
"Douglas, tell me, if you can achieve this, will the person above you treat you as a guest of honor?"
Douglas finally fell silent, his face changing from gloomy to bright. Finally, he said angrily, "But the guy you're protecting is not a decent person!"
"That project of Lilia's was clearly one I valued, and I supported it against all odds. I gave her so much flexibility, and he actually took advantage of my work. Isn't that excessive?"
"As expected, I knew you wouldn't do anything without profit!"
Mrs. Linda had an expression that said, "I knew it would be like this." She relaxed and said, "There's something I need to make clear to you.
Luo Yi provided the idea for the project, the preliminary design, and the R&D funding. By the time Lilia submitted her paper, the finished product was already available."
"So, some things, if they are not yours, are not yours. It is not good to be too greedy."
Seeing Douglas getting furious, Mrs. Linda added, "But from what I know about Roy, he's a man who's willing to share."
"Douglas, if I were you, I'd rather have a good chat with him."
Douglas narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean?"
"That's all I can say. What happens next is up to you!"
At this point in the conversation, Mrs. Linda had lost interest in continuing. She stopped the carriage, walked down alone, and got back into her own carriage.
There was another person sitting in her carriage. He had a slender figure, deep facial features, and a strong temperament.
His eyes became even more fierce, and there was a faint murderous intent emanating from him. Even just sitting there, he was intimidating.
Only after Mrs. Linda got on the bus did he soften his expression and even stood up to help Mrs. Linda to her seat.
Seeing that Mrs. Linda seemed a little tired, he even helped rub her temples.
The sound of two people talking could also be heard in the carriage.
"But is the knocking done?"
"That's about right!"
"Do you want me to go and scare him? If I show up, he won't dare to say a word."
"That's too much. It's just right now, just right!"
As Linda said this, she raised her hand again and shook the other man's calloused hand. She sighed softly and continued, "The atmosphere in Oakland is not right. I'm afraid the fight between those two is about to get intense.
We still have to keep a certain distance!"
…
Provence Manor.
The manor had changed a lot at this time. The bright magic lights illuminated every corner, so that the entire manor was shrouded in light.
You know, there is no magic energy pool in Proswang Manor, so these magic crystal lamps are all powered by magic crystals, and the cost is not a small amount.
Then the red carpet extended directly to the side of the road, and the grass on both sides was full of flowers.
In this early spring season, the chilly weather creates an atmosphere of colorful flowers.
Needless to say, this is something that can only be done with magic.
Each carriage will stop in front of the red carpet, and the guests will enter the manor along the red carpet.
The butler on the side will lead the coachman into the parking lot. After parking the carriage, they will also be taken to the place where the servants have their meals.
The stingy nobles naturally wouldn't care whether the coachmen had dinner or not, but the wealthy ones would make arrangements for the coachmen as well.
The host may even give some tips to relieve the resentment of waiting.
At the gate of the manor, Butler Hoover and Maruna Marquis were standing there to welcome the guests.
In this world, there is no logic for the host to stand at the door to welcome guests. They often hold their status high and arrive last to announce the start of the banquet.
Therefore, the task of welcoming guests is mostly done by the butler.
Hoover behaved most appropriately here, and his every move fully demonstrated the style of a butler of the Millennium Earl's family.
Maruna Marquez was a little worse, after all, he was not a professional, but this time the invitation list was drawn up by him and Hoover, so he could still find some ways to fill in the gaps.
Moreover, he had to greet the factory owners who wanted to sign contracts here, and he also had his own things to do.
The three people from the Greenman family arrived earlier, and they didn't have their own carriage, so they had to scrape together some and rent one.
After getting off the carriage, they felt like they had stepped into a fairy tale world and their eyes were unable to take it all in.
They came for a special purpose and were led by Maruna into the manor.
Across the manor gate is a spacious lawn with a bonfire burning and a skinned lamb on top.
There is a chef busy at work next to them, roasting the meat until it is golden and crispy, with fat dripping and the aroma of meat wafting in the air.
There was also a long table covered with silk cloth inlaid with gold thread, and various silver plates were placed with colorful, fragrant and delicious food, fruits and snacks.
Obviously, this dinner was a buffet, and you could take whatever you wanted to eat.
There are also well-trained maids carrying trays and walking around everywhere, offering all kinds of expensive drinks, which can be enjoyed freely by just waving your hands.
Continue forward, and before you even step into the main gate, you can hear melodious music.
That was not the music played by the magic phonograph, but by a specially invited band. Their appearance fee was not low and was also a big expense.
However, before she even stepped in, Mira Greenman, who was dressed like a noble lady, was attracted by the scene on the right.
There, there was a black cloth covering the area, so the specific situation could not be seen.
But the red flames were so eye-catching even under the magic light, and there was even a scorching heat coming from them.
After a slight hesitation, she asked, "Mr. Maruna, what's going on over there?"
Maruna turned his head and glanced at Mira Greenman, but without putting on airs, he said, “Over there, there’s a new type of magical machinery.
Most of the people who came this time were factory owners, so Young Master Luo Yi set up a special display area. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."
"I see!"
In just a sentence or two, they had already walked into the hall of the manor, a huge space that could accommodate a hundred people.
The room is decorated with mirror-like marble, gorgeous crystal lamps, tempting food aromas, and sofa areas for rest.
Men and women were singing and dancing on the dance floor, and an atmosphere of decadence and extravagance echoed in the hall.
It was still early, so not many guests had come, but there were already some.
Some of them were dancing gracefully on the dance floor, while others were gathered in groups of two or three, talking and chatting. Laughter could be heard from time to time, attracting everyone's attention.
In such a situation, the three members of the Greenman family seemed a little at a loss. Maruna could understand them, so he took them to a secluded corner and let them sit there.
Eat first and serve yourself. If you want to drink, you can also call the maid. If you want to talk to others, you can also try it.
However, it is hard to say how many people would be willing to pay attention to them in such an occasion.
After giving the instructions, Maruna no longer paid any attention to them. He had done what he was supposed to do, and there were still many things to do later, so he didn't have time to deal with them here.
On the other side, in the study on the second floor of the manor, Luo Yi was naturally not idle either!
High-end orders are 460, and average orders are 430, which is almost the same as the editor's prediction. I will continue to work hard...
