Chapter 645 Visit
"Master, the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin asks to see you!" Butler Albin came to the study and reported to David, who was massaging the young horse.
"I'll change my clothes, invite him to the reception room, and prepare the best drink!" David hurriedly ordered when he heard Gershwin's minister of noble affairs visiting.
David changed into more formal clothes and walked to the reception room, followed by the young warhorse behind him.
He is also doing as the locals do, so he didn't need to care if he didn't know it before, but now he knows that to dress casually to meet guests is disrespectful to the guests and himself.
David was wearing very loose clothes because of his cultivation, so he couldn't wear it to see the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin.
"Secretary of the Gershwin Noble Affairs, long time no see!" David smiled and said to the Minister of Gershwin Noble Affairs a standard friend greeting.
"Baron Arthur, you are learning the etiquette of aristocrats really fast!" Gershwin's Minister of Aristocratic Affairs returned the salute with a smile and praised.
"I have a good teacher, and she has very strict requirements on me!" David continued with a smile, and then he asked curiously, "You are not dealing with the Atkins family's case, why are you free to come here?"
David is also very concerned about the progress of the investigation of the Atkins family annihilation case.
"The death of the Atkins family was done by the believers of the god of death. This has been confirmed. Last night, the believers of the god of death killed everyone in the city of Salo, and even killed a lord!" The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs said in a deep voice.
David felt a chill in his heart. On the one hand, he was chilled by the fact that the followers of the Death God slaughtered the entire city of Salo, and on the other hand, he was also chilled by the statement of the minister of noble affairs of Gershwin about the massacre.
Because of the tone of Gershwin's minister of noble affairs, the massacre of Salo City is not as important as the death of a lord.
However, David did not mean to blame the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin. This is the great world of God, a world ruled by nobles.
It is normal for the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin to think so. For the Noble Affairs Office, nothing is more important than the lives of nobles.
"How many people are there in Salo City?" David asked in a deep voice.
"About 30,000 people, all of them were summoned into skeletons, and there is not a complete corpse in the whole city!" The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin shook his head and said.
"Why do believers of Death do this?" David asked inexplicably.
"It's still under investigation, but there is information that the believers of the Death God mentioned in public that the Atkins family's annihilation case was theirs. Dryden's suspicion of you at that time is now definitely a slander!" Noble Gershwin The Minister of Affairs replied.
Only David himself knew that Dryden did not slander, nor did the Death believers commit the Atkins family annihilation case. It was just that the Death believers took the blame, and they took the initiative, so he would not say it.
"I'm finally cleared of my innocence now!" David said in a deep voice.
"What happened in Salo City is expected to spread to Jianmo City soon. You should not leave Jianmo City recently!" The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwen lowered his voice and reminded softly.
"Is there no one to deal with the fact that the followers of the god of death are so rampant?" David couldn't help asking aloud when he heard the meaning of the words of the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin.
"We are friends, I tell you to listen to some things, but I won't admit them afterwards!" Gershwin's voice became even softer, and he continued: "In recent months, the activities of the followers of the evil gods have become more and more frequent. , There are more cases involving nobles than in the past ten years combined, and the strong men from the noble affairs office have been dispatched to deal with it, and it will take at least ten days to free up manpower to deal with this place!"
David nodded, and did not continue to talk about this topic. The Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin was able to say this, and he had already achieved the friendship of friends.
After he came to the great world of the gods, he thought it was very peaceful, but the sins hidden in the darkness were no less than the interstellar federation.
In order to thank the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin, at lunch, David personally cooked and cooked several dishes to entertain the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin.
Although the Minister of Aristocratic Affairs of Gershwin said that he did not dare to do it, he was completely rude when eating the dishes.
"Knight Andrew, go to the castle immediately and take over Butler Jason, and let him send someone else to watch the overhaul of the castle!" David ordered Knight Andrew immediately after the Minister of Noble Affairs of Gershwin left.
David doesn't have the idea of protecting everyone, that's not realistic, as long as the people around him are safe.
"Lord Baron, can I drive that alchemy carriage over there?" Knight Andrew carefully glanced at David's face and asked softly.
"Go and come back, be sure to protect Butler Jason!" David waved and agreed.
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Knight Andrew happily ran out of the gate, responding as he ran.
If Butler Jason is here, he will definitely teach Andrew Knight that he doesn't understand the rules.
An hour later, Butler Jason took the alchemy carriage to the courtyard and saw David.
"Master, I don't know what happened to make me come in such a hurry?" Butler Jason saw Knight Andrew picking him up in an alchemy carriage, thinking that something major happened in the other courtyard, and he was anxious along the way, but he couldn't come. After going to the other courtyard, I didn't find anything wrong, and when I saw David, I asked with doubts in my heart.
"The city of Salo was slaughtered by the believers of the evil gods. You stayed in another courtyard recently. If there is anything in the castle, you can arrange for someone to deal with it. Don't go there in person!" David explained.
"Master, you don't need to pay special attention to my safety!" Butler Jason said moved with tears in his eyes.
David was able to think about him, which made him feel that the sacrifices for Luce Castle were all worth it.
The news that Salo City was massacred reached Jianmo City in the afternoon, and Jianmo City immediately increased the number of city defense soldiers.
Fortunately, Jianmo City is not Salo City. There are many nobles in the city, and as long as they are nobles, they must inherit the power of blood. Every noble family has more or less knights who are at least apprentice knights.
Coupled with the two earth knights, City Lord Kagel and Captain Maquis of the City Lord's Mansion, the heretic god believers would not dare to come to Jianmo City.
But the nobles who lived in the castle outside the city of Jianmo were panicked. They rushed into the city of Jianmo with their families and lived in other courtyards. Those who didn't have other courtyards would also live in hotels in the city.
For a while, the hotel in Jianmo City was full. You must know that the noble family did not come to Jianmo City with one or two people. Every member of the family had to bring servants to serve, so the number was much larger.
Butler Jason also brought some of the servants from Luce Castle to the city. Anyway, the other courtyard also has to employ people. Due to the overhaul of Luce Castle, the treasure house has been evacuated, and only the castle is left to be carried out by workers. repair.
David wanted to tell Butler Jason that he didn't need to panic too much, because he was sure that the strength of the Heretic God believers could not be too strong.
But Butler Jason and the rest of the city didn't think so. A group of Heretic God believers who could destroy the Atkins family must be extremely terrifying, at least more powerful than the nine knights of the Atkins family combined. powerful.
And these nobles outside the city really don't have the strength of the Atkins family, so they were all scared and hid in the city.
Due to the arrival of Butler Jason, Butler Albin voluntarily ceded most of his power to Butler Jason. Butler Jason only took over the affairs of serving David, and he did not care about other affairs in other courtyards.
The next morning, Butler Jason invited two tailors to make custom-made dresses and various regular and formal clothes for David.
When Steward Albin saw the work of Butler Jason, he couldn't help feeling ashamed. He was in charge of David's life for many days, but he didn't even think of this.
In the afternoon, Butler Jason invited the clerk of the jewelry store in the city again. The clerk brought a variety of noble jewelry for David to choose.
David followed Euphemia to learn noble etiquette, and he knew that noble jewelry was a means to improve his temperament, including walking sticks, pendants, bracelets, rings, etc., as well as some playful items, all of which belonged to the category of jewelry.
David chose a few accessories at random. He doesn't like wearing accessories unless they have special effects, and these accessories have no special effects, they are just ordinary accessories.
All the accessories he chose were made of good materials, and he was going to try to transform these accessories with his master-level alchemy ability when he had time.
On the afternoon of the third day, David had just finished massaging the juvenile war horse and was feeding the juvenile war horse with selected feed, but saw Butler Jason walked in with an excited face.
David rarely sees Butler Jason being overjoyed. He must know that Butler Jason is a very old-fashioned butler, and he is usually unsmiling.
"Master, the City Lord's Mansion has sent an invitation letter, please go to the reception!" Butler Jason bowed to report to David.
Then he took out a gilded invitation and handed it over, and David took it.
The invitation letter was indeed issued by the city lord's mansion, with the autograph of the city lord Kagel on it, but the time was a little too hasty, it turned out to be tomorrow night.
For a general reception, at least one week's notice is given in advance, and the arrangement of the reception needs to give the guests some time to prepare.
During this week, guests need to arrange affairs and prepare their dresses, which takes time.
Just like the dress, it is best not to wear the dress you have worn before to the reception, as it will make the nobles in the reception feel that your finances are in trouble.
This influence will make you marginalized everywhere in your future business.
"This reception is so rushed, could it have something to do with Salo City?" David said looking at the invitation letter in his hand.
"I'm afraid this is the case. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't follow it!" Butler Jason said with some annoyance.
As the housekeeper of the Luce family, he could completely refuse to accept the invitation, as long as he excused David for not having time.
But at that time, Butler Jason didn't think about anything else, and only thought of one thing, that is, the Luce family returned to the mainstream aristocratic circle again.
This time, at the invitation of the City Lord's Mansion, he will come into contact with the aristocratic circle of Jianmo City, and allow David to integrate into this aristocratic circle.
Butler Jason yearned for the former glory of the Luce family, so when he received the invitation from the City Lord's Mansion, he only thought about excitement and didn't think about anything else.
As long as Butler Jason thought that the purpose of the city lord's reception was probably the massacre in Salo City, he immediately regretted it. How could David participate in such a dangerous thing.
Anyway, the Luce family has been far away from the aristocratic circle of Jianmo City for a long time, and it doesn't matter if there is more time.
"The invitation of the City Lord's Mansion is still to go and see!" David decided.
There was still one day left to attend the reception. On the same day, Butler Jason asked the tailor to speed up the progress by increasing the price, and got the dress in the afternoon. There is no need to worry about the rest of the clothes, but the dress is needed for the reception.
During the next day, Euphemia, the etiquette teacher, specially strengthened the reception etiquette for David.
"Knight Andrew, let's ride to the reception together!" At five o'clock in the afternoon, David called Knight Andrew and said.
The reception in the City Lord’s Mansion is a very high-level reception in Jianmo City. Nobles with titles will bring knights with them. This is a symbol of status. Knight Andrew is the only family knight of the Luce family. David is going to bring Knight Andrew with him. go together.
"Master, you have lost your identity by riding in the past, so let Knight Andrew drive the alchemy carriage over there!" Butler Jason reminded.
"Is this a bit high-profile? Besides, the City Lord's Mansion is so close to us!" David said in a daze.
The City Lord's Mansion is at the end of Orr Street. The entire Orr Street is only three kilometers in length. It doesn't take long for David and the others to walk from the villa.
And the alchemy carriage is really too cool. The last time I tested it, it attracted the attention of everyone in the entire street.
"Master, this is the first time the Luce family has re-entered the aristocratic social circle in so many years. What you need is a high-profile appearance, which will bring you more friends!" Butler Jason explained with a bow.
David nodded. He knew that Butler Jason was thinking of being good to the Luce family, so he did not go against Butler Jason's good intentions.
"Knight Andrew, I have to work hard for you this time!" David said to Knight Andrew with a smile.
"Lord Baron, this is my honor!" Knight Andrew smiled sincerely.
The alchemy carriage was pulled out of the villa by four white horses, but this time it did not accelerate. Knight Andrew specially controlled the speed of the four white horses, allowing the four white horses to walk on the street with an elegant pace.
The suspended body of the alchemy carriage once again caught the attention of the people on the street, with emotions ranging from envy, amazement, and jealousy.
Andrew Knight enjoyed everyone's attention. He sat upright and maintained the best posture.
Along the way, there were quite a few carriages heading in the same direction, but these carriages were very different from David's alchemy carriage.
It is estimated that only David, who Mo Ming has become an 'Alchemist Master', would spend such a boring price on such an alchemy carriage.
