Chapter 666 Test
When the orcs entered the manor gate, Waddington turned and left, and peace returned outside the cold emerald gate.
However, most of the young people did not look happy and were filled with indignation. After all, the orc before could be said to have provoked everyone.
And Laci was also cursing quietly beside Gervis.
"How despicable! These bastard orcs are so damned!"
"Come on, let's go in first!"
Gervis shook his head slightly. It was useless to curse at someone who was not as strong as him.
Those orcs were acting rampant at the gate of Leng Feicui Manor. It was obvious that they were looking for trouble on purpose. They probably wanted to test the strength of the human youth.
"Okay, let's go in first."
After hearing what Gervis said, Laci put aside his previous unhappiness, dismounted with Gervis, and headed towards the manor gate.
When the two men arrived at the gate, they showed the invitation to the servants without waiting for them to ask.
The servant immediately bowed respectfully to the two men, and another person ran over and took Lachi's warhorse and sent it to storage.
And after Gervis's nightmare was dismounted, it was sent back to the dark world, so there was nothing good to store.
Afterwards, the two were led by servants into the gate of Leng Feicui Manor and, like last time, directly got on the carriage provided by Leng Feicui Manor.
As the carriage moved forward, four or five minutes later, a magnificent building appeared before Gervis and his companions.
At this time, the squares, gardens and lawns around the building were already crowded with people, and the sound of young men and women talking or laughing could be heard from time to time, accompanied by melodious music.
There were so many people coming to Adela's birthday party that the outside of the building became a banquet venue.
Of course, those outside are all young men and women, because those in the main hall of the building are basically the lords of each holy city or their heirs, in simple terms, the main people attending the banquet.
Those outside are second sons or other nephews like Laci.
In this age without entertainment, cocktail parties and banquets are the favorite occasions for the upper class, regardless of gender, age or status.
Therefore, many guests who are able to come will basically bring a few more children with them, so that they can broaden their horizons and make connections.
"Come on, Harry, let's go inside!"
After getting off the carriage, Laci looked at the crowd in the square, and without stopping, he proudly called out to Gervis and walked towards the gate of the building.
Although Laci is the second son, he and Gervis are friends of Adela and have Adela's special banquet invitation, so they can naturally enter the hall.
Gervis didn't say much, and just continued walking side by side with Laci.
Then the two of them came to the front door, and a row of servants immediately saluted them respectfully. At this time, Waddington was also waiting at the door in person.
When Waddington saw the two men coming, he nodded slightly to them, and then Gervais and Lach walked through the door without any hindrance, because Waddington must have recognized them.
When he came into the hall, Gervis found that it was much more lively here than outside, with hundreds of people there.
In addition to the humans from the Holy Alliance, some orcs who had come in earlier were also in another part of the hall. The humans and orcs occupied both sides of the hall respectively, enjoying their own delicacies.
I don't know if it was discussed in advance, but there are only half-orcs in this hall, and no pig-headed people, dog-headed people or the like.
This won't reduce people's appetite as Lachi had said before.
Although the orcs also have fangs and blue skin, they are still somewhat similar to humans. Moreover, the orcs who can come here are obviously not ordinary people in the Orc King's Court, so they are all dressed neatly and are no more sloppy than humans.
Then Gervis looked towards the podium again. Adela, the main character, had not arrived yet. She would definitely appear when the banquet officially started.
The orc princess was obviously not present either, and the only people Gervis saw were basically male half-orcs.
"Harry, sit here for a while. I'm going to find my father and brother. I'll come find you later!"
After entering the hall and coming to the nearby long table, Laci greeted Gervis and prepared to leave temporarily.
Lachi's father and brother arrived at the City of Hope this afternoon. Because Lachi had his own invitation, they did not wait for him and came to the Leng Feicui Manor early.
"Well, go ahead! I'll sit by myself for a while!"
Gervis nodded, and after parting with Laci, he went straight to the long table and got a glass of juice.
He took a sip of the drink and found it tasted good, at least better than the drinks on the table. Gervis then looked up and found a row of empty seats in front of him, so he walked over.
Then Gervis sat on the chair and began to daydream, mainly recalling the scene when he first met his cheap wife.
At that time, Gervis was just like the loser in his previous life, while his cheap wife was like a goddess. Unexpectedly, the swan fell down and hit himself, a toad.
"My cheap wife, you have to wait for me. I want to have a bunch of babies with you!"
There is news about Caroline now, but there is no news about Alice, so what Gervis is most worried about is Alice, fearing that something unexpected might happen to his cheap wife.
"Harry!"
Just when Gervis was wandering in the sky alone, he suddenly heard a voice calling in his ear.
Gervis immediately came to his senses and looked to the side, only to find that the person who called him was none other than the rich young lady Lolita.
"Miss Lolita, what a coincidence!"
In his heart, Gervis wanted to laugh at this girl, but on the surface he put on a friendly expression.
It is said that last time before letting Lolita go, Gervis really slapped her a few times, and the sound was really loud.
However, considering the figure of Lolita, the little rich woman, she shouldn't be really hurt, at most it would be just superficial injuries.
"Why are you sitting here alone? There are many noble ladies over there. Logically speaking, aren't you young men the ones who like to chat up noble ladies at banquets?"
Lolita is wearing a fiery red off-shoulder long dress today. Her slender and smooth snow-white shoulders create a strong impact against the red dress, making the girl look extremely charming and attractive.
However, unlike in the past, Lolita was no longer as cold as before. When she spoke to Gervis, her tone was actually a little soft and she was even half joking.
Lolita's behavior immediately made Gervis secretly alert. He had already seen a little bit about this girl's character.
Although Lolita looks passionate and charming in her clothes, she is actually a cold person with a bad temper. If you hate her, it will last forever. Gervis himself is the best representative of this.
Now Adela was joking with him for no reason, which was not in line with her usual style at all.
Of course, although he was on high alert in his heart, Gervis remained the same on the surface.
"Haha, Miss Lolita, although I am now a student of the Alliance Academy, I know my own limitations. If those noble ladies knew my identity, they would definitely turn around and leave. So, I might as well sit here and eat and drink in peace, so as not to disappoint others!"
Gervis said to Lolita with a smile.
"Haha, that's not necessarily true. I heard that you, Harry, have a very good relationship with Miss Adela. Maybe you can achieve something in the Sky City through Miss Adela in the future."
Lolita laughed and answered casually.
After hearing Lolita's answer, Gervis suddenly understood why the girl had changed her indifference and approached him today.
She must be thinking about the mysterious pharmacist.
It is estimated that Gervis had too much contact with Adela during this period. Although they only borrowed and returned books to each other, it still aroused suspicion.
And this Lolita happened to be familiar with him, so this girl must want to take the opportunity to test him.
"I would like to, but I don't know if I have the chance. After all, there are too many excellent magicians in the Alliance Academy!"
"I even had to give up my undead talent because I didn't have enough gold coins. Fortunately, Adela lent me her books because of our friendship during the last adventure!"
"Oh? There is such a thing. It seems that Miss Adela is really a kind person!"
Lolita looked at Gervis carefully and found that Gervis' expression was natural and his eyes were not evasive, and she thought to herself.
"Is it really just an ordinary relationship between classmates and friends?"
That’s all for today everyone. I’m a bit tired and I’m stuck with the writer’s block and can’t write any more!
I'm a bit lazy today, please forgive me! I will work hard tomorrow!
