660 owed
Hearing this sound, the two looked up.
Lux lay lazily on the railing with a slight sneer on his face: "Little-faced, stop dreaming, I have no interest in you, go wherever you come from."
Beta looked at Nasdait with a questioning look, who said embarrassedly: "This is my daughter Lux, she seems to have some misunderstandings about you."
Beta said oh, and after saying hello, he entered the city lord's mansion, went up to the third floor, and returned to his room.
Nadette said helplessly: "Lucks, be more ladylike, don't be too much. Lord Cook is not a servant or a slave."
Lux chuckled, not believing his father's words: "I know he is not a servant or a slave. It is probably the one you have come to be my husband, but I really have no interest in these trash. If my man is not a prince, he must be the powerful brave men or knights among the knights. What is his fair face?"
Nadette originally wanted to let the two of them develop, but when he saw his daughter's situation, he would just forget it. He said helplessly: "Okay, I won't match him with you, but don't insult Cook anymore. If you make trouble for him and teach him a lesson, I won't help you."
"He dares!"
Lux sneered and left the balcony.
Beta returned to the room and made a few not-so-perfect scrolls. When he was about to rest for a while, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, Robben's face was not handsome, but a bit obscene.
"Our third group is ready to have a celebration in the big house in the morning. Cook, come with us."
After hearing this, Beta naturally had to participate. Even if he pretended to be Cook, he had to establish a good relationship with these people. After all, there was no direct conflict of interests.
The other four were already waiting in the big house, and the dining table in the middle was filled with food and fruits, as well as some sour wine.
There is no such thing as distilled liquor in this world. Many players can do it, but Beta doesn't.
Besides, as a spellcaster, he doesn't like drinking too much wine, which will have a great impact on his mental power.
However, many times, banquets focus on the atmosphere. Whether the food is good or not, it is not important to drink or not, just lively.
Although the sour wine is several degrees, these people will inevitably get a little better if they drink too much. The warrior has a high body and strong ability to relieve alcohol, and is not easy to get drunk. However, the two agility professions such as Heidi and Cion have already had a little drifting eyes.
The six people were eating, drinking, and making noise, which seemed very noisy. Perhaps because of their high drinking, Heidi suddenly sat next to Beta, hugged him and threw his whole body away, and said, "Cook, to be honest, you are quite likable. If I were ten years younger, I would definitely fight for you, but now I am old and not as beautiful as before, and you will not look down on me."
"Heidi, you're still pretty." Beta complimented: "It's just that I have someone in my heart, otherwise I will definitely fall in love with you."
A group of people next to him started to cheer: "Kiss one, kiss one."
Hahahaha! Heidi smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth, and the flowers shook. She left Beta and sat back on her chair.
Beta felt that Heidi was still testing himself.
But let's test it, it doesn't matter.
While drinking, Robben suddenly said, "Oh, we can only drink here by ourselves. I heard that there will be a banquet on the first floor tonight, but we were ordered by the lady to not attend, and we felt uncomfortable."
It seems that Robben is a little drunk. As a professional, he was employed by Nadette. He would not say these obvious emotional words, but he said them.
As soon as these words came out, the others were silent.
Heidi's expression was even more ugly.
Cion asked suddenly, "Mr. Cook, I wonder if you have been invited?"
In Cion and others, Beta is a spellcaster and aristocrat. His identity is much higher than ordinary professions, and he has to be invited. Although professions are not afraid of nobles and have a much higher status than ordinary people and merchants, they cannot be considered true upper class people, because nobles rarely invite professions in physics to hold banquets.
Beta shook his head: "No, I was even scolded by her, saying that I was a novice."
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then laughed loudly at the same time. They felt that Beta was joking with them, who dared to associate a powerful dragon vein warlock with a little white face.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, Beta didn't explain.
The celebrations of the three groups lasted until the evening and then dispersed because the banquet was ready to start on the first floor, and the people coming down there were all dignitaries. The professional mercenaries on the third floor naturally could not "fight against others".
Beta took a break and was about to make some scrolls. Then he heard the noisy voices coming from below and gave up. Although he could arrange a soundproof barrier to prevent the sound from coming in, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to get lazy.
The silver moonlight shone onto the balcony, and Beta moved a chair to sit over, looked at the scene of Echo City, and enjoyed the cool breeze of the night.
He suddenly felt that he had not lived so leisurely for a long time. Although a fulfilling life is a good thing, occasional relaxation and leisure are also necessary.
He remembered that in the past, although he lived a hard and exciting time in games, he also had a lot of free time to play around and watch the scenery. At that time, life was truly happy.
But now, too many things have to be dealt with, and the clues of Persian Cat and Xiaobai from the Wokjin Temple are also investigated, and even many complicated things have to be plagued by. Sometimes he even wonders, if he didn't know Persian Cat and Xiaobai and was just an ordinary person, would he live a easier life?
Of course, this idea is just occasionally remembered, and it is impossible to make him give up and forget his two wives.
He closed his eyes on the balcony for a while, and when it was night, he heard a knock on the door.
He went over and opened the door and found three very excited girls standing outside, one of which was Nadette's daughter, Lux.
"Look, this is the new young man who wants to pursue me. Do you think he is a little whimsical?" Lux's face turned red, he was a little unsteady, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body.
One of the blond and blue-eyed girls looked at Beta with their eyes lit up: "Hey, it looks pretty handsome, Miss Lux, if you don't want it, give it to me, I especially like this type."
Lux waved his hand heavily: "Okay, no problem, take it away, he dares to say no, I'll make him look good!"
Beta narrowed his eyes and closed the door heavily.
After a brief silence, there was a crazy knock on the door in the room, like a drum and a gong, and then outside, there were three women's yelling.
"You little face, you dare to throw my door. You're impatient to live, right?" This was Lux's voice.
"Boy, do you know who you offended? She is the princess of Huiyin City. If you know the truth, come out quickly to apologize." This was the blonde woman's voice.
"Bastard, open the door quickly." This is the voice of the third woman.
Beta was too lazy to pay attention to them.
But these three women were really drunk, knocking hard outside, and scolding became increasingly unpleasant. Finally, they scolded them all for greeting their parents.
Beta couldn't bear it anymore and opened the door.
When the three women saw him, they were slightly happy, and then even more furious.
Before they scolded, Beta flicked his fingers and several lightning bolts as big as thin lines appeared out of thin air and hit the three women.
They twitched for a while at the same time, and then sat on the ground together.
This is not magic, it is just a trick... The lightning element condensed with mental power has no power, but it can make people feel numb for a while. Moreover, these three women are ordinary people, and they suddenly lose their ability to move after being shot.
Beta was about to go back to the room, but heard a roar in front of him: "Cook, what are you doing?"
Beta looked up and found it was Urban. The latter was running over, if the crazy bull was bull.
Lax was half lying on the ground, still twitching, and she stared at Beta with resentment in her eyes.
She was surprised when she saw Urban rushing towards Beta. When she got up, this little guy had some ability, but she was definitely not a match for the useless Urban.
But the result surprised her. With a strange sound, a transparent air bomb condensed in front of the young white face named Cook, and directly hit Urban and knocked the latter away.
Beta kept his hands and used the lowest level air pressure bomb to attack, so it looked quite loud, but in fact Urban was not seriously injured.
Urban, who had bounced out, climbed up from the ground, half-kneeled, and looked at Beta with an incredible look: "Cook, do you know what you are doing? She is the eldest lady."
Beta walked over and looked at Urban condescendingly: "Of course I know. Urban, it is your business that you can't stand up after kneeling for a long time, but don't think about pulling me down, it's boring."
At this time, other teammates on the third floor ran out when they heard the fighting. When they heard Beta's words, everyone thought he was extremely handsome.
Heidi glanced at Beta with praise, then went over, picked up Lux and took it downstairs.
The other two women and Urban were also sent off by other teammates.
Nadette was in the banquet hall with several noble groups, chatting and laughing. Heidi walked to him and whispered a few words quietly. His face changed, and he accused others of guilt, and then came to his daughter's bedroom with Heidi.
At first he thought his daughter had suffered multiple injuries, but when he went in, he found Lux in front of the mirror, using a comb to comb her hairstyle that looked like an explosive head.
Next to her were two noble women with similar hairstyles.
Nadette burst into laughter.
When Lux heard this laugh, he turned his head and cried, "Father, look, that Cook is too arrogant. He dares to attack me. You can quickly arrest him."
"You're at a loss. You'll kick the iron plate." Nadette was overjoyed: "You're despised men of the same age. I think everyone will flatter you?"
Looking at her gloating father, Lux was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She said angrily: "Father, are you actually looking at that little white face?"
"Young man dares to attack you? You can beat Urban?"
Lux couldn't speak at once.
"You have a good rest, no injuries anyway."
Nadette almost returned to his study with a smile.
Heidi followed him and was puzzled by the way: "You are not angry, but Cook hasn't given you face."
"He has given me a lot of face." Nadette smiled and said, "I know how bad my daughter is. Besides, she has drunk some wine and has to do things too much. But even so, Cook just made her suffer a small loss. If it weren't for my face, Lux would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die. What was this not giving me face? On the contrary, as soon as this happened, I still owe him a favor."
Heidi shook his head helplessly: "My daughter has been bullied, and she is still happy to be a father. You are the only one I have ever seen."
Nadette laughed: "I can't bear to beat and scold my daughter, but this does not mean that other people will embarrass me for education, but I still want to ask for it. Lax is surrounded by men who flatter her, which has developed her current arrogant personality. Someone can suppress her and control her, which is a good thing. Now, I feel more and more that Cook may be a good son-in-law."
Heidi smiled: "Then are you going to match them together?"
"No hurry, wait four days later, the scout will come back from Lago County."
Not many people know about this little episode in the banquet, and those who know about it dare not spread it indiscriminately due to Nadette's status.
Beta continued to rest as if nothing had happened, occasionally doing scrolls and magic experiments.
Four days passed quickly, and Lux restrained a lot. Although he looked so angry that he looked like Beta, he no longer dared to curse people.
In the study, Nadette sighed after reading the information sent from Lago County, and then handed it over to Arnold, who was sitting by the side.
After reading it, Arnold frowned: "This kid has had such a tragic thing, and he can't tell from his personality. He has a calm and gentle personality, with a bottom line, and a responsibility. He doesn't look like a person who is full of blood and crawls out of hell as an Avenger.
"This shows that his character is more tenacity is valuable." Nadette sighed: "When I was as old as him, I didn't even have half of his ability."
"Do you think he is trustworthy?"
Nadette smiled and said, "You can trust it. When we kill the two bishops of Ellen City and Ma'ang City, we will recommend him to the Holy Land. Such a young man needs to prove himself on a larger battlefield."
Arnold nodded and said, "Cook told me that he came to join you. As long as you recommend him to go to the Holy Land, he will be very happy. But if you recommend him to the Holy Land, then it will be difficult for him and Lux to do things."
"It depends on fate," Nadette smiled. "To be honest, I think that if a young man as promising and capable as Cook is a bad thing for him if he marrys my daughter. It is true that Lux is a little unworthy of him."
