Chapter 382 The Holy Lady of Light killed the gods and ascended to the throne!
Earl Hall looked at Abel's departing back with pity.
Having such a strong brother, but still offending someone to death, it would be strange if he is not unlucky! It is indeed pitiful that such a strong man's younger brother has a strange habit of hiding his strength and unintentionally offended Abel, a strong man.
After all, if Abbott had shown his extraordinary talent and strength from the beginning, Abel would never have been able to be hostile to him, and he would have become Abbott's closest and best brother.
What a pity...
As an earl with little real power, Abel had no place at the banquet hosted by Marquis Wilson, and no one even invited him. He was able to enter the banquet only because he used his connections to buy an anonymous invitation.
Generally, for banquets held by aristocrats, except for invitations to some important persons, which need to be written by hand by the organizer, the organizer will also express the intention of inviting by name.
However, there will also be a lot of anonymous invitations circulating. As long as you have the ability to get these anonymous invitations, you will be eligible to attend this banquet.
The organizer can also gain a lot of benefits from it. After all, those who have connections and can get anonymous invitations are all capable people. It may be beneficial to their family if they come to the banquet. Even if the anonymous invitations are not obtained through connections, but bought with money, they are still profitable fat sheep.
Therefore, it is an unspoken rule to distribute anonymous invitations when holding a banquet.
Marquis Wilson was also accustomed to the fact that every time he held a large banquet, there would always be some unrelated people who were not invited by him and came to attend with anonymous invitations.
This situation would not occur only at some important small banquets he hosted, where every guest was invited by him with personally written invitations.
After attending today's grand banquet, Marquis Wilson would have only paid attention to the distinguished guests he personally invited.
But unexpectedly, the anonymous invitation caught a big fish.
Lord Albert Anderson’s younger brother, Count Anderson of Tiancangjie!
After discovering Abel's identity, Marquis Wilson was very excited. This was a good opportunity for him to get close to Duke Abbot!
But unfortunately, he was not the only one who discovered Abel's identity. Many well-informed people knew that the newly born Duke Abbot in the Imperial Capital was named Anderson, the same Anderson as Abel Anderson, and they were brothers.
For a big shot like the Duke of Abbott, they would of course remember the appearance of his relatives carefully, so as not to accidentally offend him and ruin themselves and their families.
So as soon as Abel showed up, the nobles who had investigated him recognized his identity, but no one dared to act rashly.
Before knowing the attitude of Duke Abbot towards Abel, no one dared to make the decision whether to please Abel or suppress Abel.
Marquis Wilson was also struggling with this issue.
Try to please Abel, but Abel was not very nice to Lord Duke Abbot in the past. He even drove Lord Duke Abbot, who was hiding his strength, out of the family territory. Isn't this an enmity? What if I try to please Abel and Duke Abbot thinks I'm going against him?
Suppress Abel, but we haven't seen Duke Abbot take revenge on Abel after he was driven out of the family territory by Abel. Maybe he still has brotherly feelings towards Abel. If outsiders suppress Abel, they may not only fail to please Duke Abbot, but also offend the Duke.
If you're not sure what to do, you can only watch from a distance. If you do nothing, nothing will go wrong.
At this moment, Marquis Wilson saw Abel leave the banquet in a daze after chatting with Earl Hall.
Although Marquis Wilson did not hear what Earl Hall said to Abel, he guessed that it was not a good thing when he saw Abel's distraught look.
Just looking at Earl Hall's confident and calm look, perhaps Earl Hall didn't do anything to Abel.
Marquis Wilson was a smart man and he quickly analyzed the truth - the fact that he went to such great lengths to get the anonymous invitation to the banquet he was hosting showed that Abel did not know the current identity of his brother Abbott. After Earl Hall talked with Abel, Abel left in a daze, but Earl Hall was not worried about offending anyone at all. It was very likely that Earl Hall did nothing but told Abel the current identity of the Duke of Abbott, which led to this situation.
After the analysis, Marquis Wilson had an idea in his mind.
Perhaps, he neither needs to please Abel nor suppress Abel. He only needs to use Abel as a stepping stone to get close to Lord Duke Abbot.
Regardless of whether the Duke of Abbott hated Abel or still had brotherly feelings for him, he still cared about him. If he could exchange Abel's information for a chance to meet the Duke of Abbott, perhaps the Wilson family would have a chance to move to the next level.
Marquis Wilson quietly told his butler: "Please ask Earl Aber to wait for me in the reception room at the back."
The butler took the order and left.
Abel, in a trance, did not walk very fast. Before he could leave the Marquis's Mansion, he was stopped by the butler in time: "Dear Earl, my master invites you to see him!"
After coming to his senses, Abel recognized the butler's identity. He was the Marquis Wilson's trusted butler. His every word and action represented the Marquis Wilson. So the person who came to invite him to meet was the Marquis Wilson?
Abel didn't dare to refuse and nodded in agreement. On the way to the reception room with the butler, he guessed wildly in his mind: What does Marquis Wilson want to do by inviting me to meet him? Earl Hall knows Abbott's current identity, and it is impossible that Marquis Wilson is unaware of it. Is Marquis Wilson going to take action against the Anderson family in order to curry favor with Abbott? But looking at the butler's respectful attitude, it doesn't seem like that...
Abel was scaring himself with all kinds of wild guesses, and his mood was up and down.
When he arrived at the reception room and waited for a while, Marquis Wilson, who was supposed to entertain the guests at the banquet, soon appeared here and smiled at him gently: "Earl Aber, I am honored that you accepted my invitation..."
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Si Yuan is bathing his daughter Olive in the precious holy water of light.
Now that Olive is just one year old, the treatment she enjoys is better than the treatment she received after she became the Holy Maiden of Light in the original plot.
The Holy Water of Light is actually a liquid form condensed from the element of light. A light magician at the level of a great mage can only condense a small bottle of it in a year. It takes hard work every day without slacking off to condense so much.
Therefore, the Holy Water of Light is extremely precious. It has the functions of purifying and cleansing the body, making people more friendly to the element of light, increasing one's talent for the element of light, and healing injuries.
It is one of the precious specialties of the Church of Light.
Because only the Church of Light possesses a magic circle that can automatically condense the Holy Water of Light. It was bestowed by the God of Light, and its efficiency is equivalent to that of ten great magicians working hard every day to condense the Holy Water of Light.
Even if other forces in the world have a light magician of the grand mage level in charge, it is impossible for such a strong man to do nothing all year round and be solely responsible for condensing the holy water of light.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the Church of Light has monopolized the resource of Holy Water of Light.
However, even for the Church of Light, ten bottles of Holy Water of Light every year are not enough. After all, these Holy Waters of Light are not only needed to be distributed and used by the strong within the church, but also to be traded with other forces. The supply is completely insufficient to meet the demand.
In the original plot, even though Olive was the Holy Maiden of Light, she only received half a bottle or one bottle a year, which was already a sign that the Church of Light attached great importance to her. How could she be so extravagant as to bathe in the holy water of light?
However, now Olive, who just turned one year old, can lie in a bathtub and take a bath in the holy water of light. She has no idea how rare the holy water of light is. She playfully slaps the water surface, watching the holy water of light splashing out of the basin and disappearing as soon as it hits the ground, and she smiles very cutely and happily.
Si Yuan didn't mind that little Olive's little action resulted in a lot of wasted holy water of light. It was nothing that he could easily condense a lot of light elements. It was only because other people's condensation efficiency was low that this thing seemed precious. With Si Yuan's condensation efficiency, he could easily condense a large basin of holy water of any elemental attribute. Not to mention bathing a one-year-old child, it was more than enough to bathe an adult.
Little Olive felt warm all over and comfortable while soaking in the holy water of light. She was addicted to playing with water and didn't want to come out of the basin at all.
Si Yuan also indulged her and played with water with her. When a lot of water in the basin was wasted, he would continue to condense and replenish it to keep the basin full, allowing little Olive to be immersed in the holy water of light all the time, cleansing her body all the time and making her more and more close to the element of light.
Anyway, there is no need to worry about children catching a cold while taking a bath.
At this time, the maid outside the door reported respectfully: "Your Excellency, Marquis Wilson wants to see you. He said that he has very important news about Earl Aber that he needs to report to you in person."
When Si Yuan heard Abel's name, his eyes flashed. After thinking for a while, he said, "Tell him to wait for me in the reception room."
