Quadruple split
Chapter 82 Unintentional Crime
Emerald Avenue, Tula Palace
The endless flow of carriages and various vehicles almost blocked the place. This situation is very rare in normal times, but tonight is obviously an exception. You must know that His Majesty William Boho does not often hold cocktail parties. The news came out. In the end, almost all the nobles in the royal capital came out in full force, and those wealthy merchants who were eligible to be invited rushed over after dinner in advance. They did not want to be "dined at a banquet" because of something so normal. It's just something that wastes time.
No one will be late for His Majesty William's cocktail party, but how early to arrive is also a matter of knowledge. The first to arrive are the businessmen. After all, on this not-so-wide road, no noble will want to give. They give way.
The nobles will come a little later. They will choose a time that is more suitable for their status and show up with their families in the front hall of Tula Palace, chatting with others elegantly and gracefully. The later people come, the more likely they are to arrive. He will not be left out, and the reason for this is self-evident...
Two minutes before the reception started, a simple carriage slowly appeared in front of the Tula Palace. The coat of arms decorated with a cyan eagle and a crystal crown showed the identity of its owner. Whoever comes first They all stood up and raised their glasses, without the slightest hint of displeasure on their expressions. After all, with the strength and status of Duke Garros, there was no need for him to come here too early.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace. Under countless blazing eyes, two young men, a man and a woman, appeared in everyone's sight at the same time. They were obviously not the family members of the Duke of Garros. After all, no matter how precocious the Grand Duke was at his current age, There would not be such a big deal, and the beautiful lady with a cold temperament is not the Duke's daughter that everyone is familiar with.
Soon, Archduke Bartgaros also appeared in everyone's sight. This top nobleman with the strength of a high-level magician smiled at everyone around him, stretched out a hand to Mo, who was standing quietly beside him, and raised his voice. He said: "Let me introduce a new friend. This is a young man with unlimited promise. His name is Mo. He is the only heir to the Thorn Bird family after three hundred years. He helped Tyr and I in the tragedy not long ago. Sir, it is a great favor. I have given him the title of Baron. You can call him the Lord of Sin. Please believe me~ This young man’s future achievements will be far more than this~"
"I am honored to receive this honor of getting to know you all." Mo Qian smiled and bowed to the people around him: "Thank you for your love, but actually Mo just wanted to atone for the sins of his ancestors. The Duke's joke before Please don’t take it too seriously.”
【new friend? friend? Friend of the Duke of Garros? 】
A bunch of people were shocked.
[This boy said what the Duke said was a joke? How familiar must the two of you be? ? 】
Another group of people were shocked.
Some people began to speculate again on how precocious the Duke was, while others began to speculate on the implication of what Grand Duke Garros just said.
But one thing is for sure!
This young sin lord wearing a mask must make friends no matter what!
As for the Thorn Bird family, which seems to have committed some crime hundreds of years ago, what the hell is that?
"And this is Mo's female companion." Garros smiled and raised his hand to signal Ji Xiaodao: "Beautiful Ms. Silent Prayer, all young gentlemen, please be a little more careful~"
The dark elf girl, who was held by Mo's side, saluted everyone and nodded slightly.
The noble merchants who came with the juniors immediately glared at the young people next to them. The meaning in their eyes was very clear - 'If you dare to think wrong about the girlfriend of the Grand Duke's friend, I will kill you. @#¥%\u0026amp;amp;*'
Mo led Ji Xiaodao and walked into the crowd with Archduke Garros, and dealt with the people who came forward to talk politely and appropriately. Although they were all nonsense, he still didn't look impatient at all, and his manners were elegant. He is simply more noble than a noble, which makes the girl who has been following him with her head down very frightened...
You must know that these aristocratic etiquette cannot be easily grasped by just referring to some countries or histories in the real world. Even the etiquette of different countries in the Innocence Realm are completely different. At that time, Mo seemed to have only asked Garros for a brief question. For a moment, and then...
No, it’s hard to think about the current situation!
The other party's hand holding her was barely exerting any force, and she didn't feel much real touch through the gloves, but this could be said for Ji Xiaodao, who had never had close contact with outsiders since he was a child. It's the limit, let alone the opposite sex, she has never even touched anyone of the same sex except her mother and sister, and now...
Even though it was just a game, even though all the five senses in it were simulated, and even though the man holding her hand was 'acting', she still felt her breathing was a little short, just like the last time Farah visited unexpectedly. Lian Mo was at a loss next to him.
"well enough?"
A gentle voice came from his side. Ji Xiaodao raised his head somewhat sluggishly, and what he saw was Mo's gentle face with a hint of concern.
The clothes he wore to the banquet today suit him very well...
Ji Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"That's good." The other party showed a pleased smile, then lowered his head slightly, and the eyes hidden behind the half mask blinked playfully, and a touch of coldness that could almost freeze the soul flashed across his calm and deep eyes. But his tone was still soft and intimate: "After His Majesty arrives, you can go have something to eat and have a rest~"
‘Put away your disgusting ugliness and do what you have to do now. ’
The cold glance and the words in the message board just now made the girl feel a trace of bitterness in her heart, but she still didn't walk away, log off on the spot, or directly expose Mo's plan. She just softened up again towards the other party. He nodded with his eyes, held the hand that was holding him but did not exert any force at all, covered his mouth with a smile and said: "If you want to rest, you can do it anytime, but if I don't like you today, what if I get raped by some noble lady?" What should I do if my soul is taken away? What do you think?"
Her words immediately aroused good-natured ridicule, and a young man next to her shrugged and said: "I think you should listen to her, otherwise it will give us single men a lot of opportunities~"
Not like myself...
Nothing like myself...
Neither this reaction, this action, nor these words are like...
But the thought of just letting him go has never occurred to me. No, maybe I have, but I always feel that once I let him out of my sight, I will never be able to be like this again.
He is both middle-class and naive. He is clearly not such a person, but he still maintains that self-righteous idea...
Ah, forget it, never mind, that's it, at least this time around him is not boring at all.
That's it, comfort yourself~
…
[You have lost your talent: Closure, and your talent ‘Loneliness’ has been changed to: Unintentional Sin]
At the same time that the system prompt sounded in Ji Xiaodao's ears, Mo also pulled her closer.
"Forget it then~ I'm not going to give you up to anyone else." He smiled, shrugged and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
After a while, the door of Tula Palace slowly opened, and everyone present gathered around the belated Emperor and entered the banquet hall that had been decorated in advance. The flames in the hands of several palace mages were in the air. Intertwined into a beautiful scene, this banquet, which currently has no name but is known as the jingoistic [banquet of national destruction] in later generations, officially kicked off.
His Majesty William Bohe was a fairly wise monarch. Unlike those kings who were broad-minded, fat and full of straw baggage, crooked melons and cracked dates, and destroyed the country in the late second and middle years, in the more than ten years after he succeeded to the throne, the chauvinist empire The development is particularly rapid, especially in terms of economy, and it has even begun to vaguely rank first in the southwest.
He maximized Chauvin's unique coastal advantages. With his support, the major chambers of commerce conducted maritime trade in a crazy manner, exchanging countless overproduced luxury goods for large amounts of gold coins and rare treasures from the southwest continent. Various materials not only greatly enriched the national treasury through taxation, but also increased the empire's voice in the southwest continent several times compared to the past few hundred years.
There is no other reason but money...
If you have money, you can support the church and make the powerful Kaguya sect your patron.
If you have money, you can hoard goods, start to control the market in disguise, and then make more money.
If you have money, you can build a large number of colleges, train countless talents, and make the next generation of the empire stronger.
His Majesty William Bohe made Chauvin very rich, no matter whether he was a noble, a businessman or a commoner, everyone loved him and thought he was an excellent and outstanding emperor.
In fact, he was a good and wonderful emperor.
"Don't be formal~" His Majesty the Emperor, who was only in his early forties, said cheerfully to everyone: "This is not the palace of the royal family. Everyone, please relax."
Then he just found a seat by the window and started eating dinner...
Unlike most people, this His Majesty came hungry.
"It's not the same as I imagined." Ji Xiaodao turned sideways and smiled softly at Mo beside him: "His Majesty the Emperor is quite funny~"
Mo glanced at her lightly: "You seem to be a little too into the drama."
There were not many people around them, and Duke Garros had already sat next to the emperor. The other nobles and merchants were either surrounding His Majesty or gathering in small circles. They would not mind a certain person. The newly promoted baron wants to integrate into his own circle, but he does not pay too much attention to this corner.
The friendly attitude has been conveyed long ago, and a lot of praise has been said for the sin lord. Not to mention whether these big shots will be short of words, even if they still have praise, they will only add more words. When Ross and Mo were together, he boasted that a baron was nothing to these people. His previous attitude was more of flattering Garros than showing kindness to Mo.
To be called a 'friend' by the Duke, even if that friend is a pig, everyone will say how smart, how cute, and how temperamental the pig is...
In short, Mo and Ji Xiaodao are quite free now. Although there are people who occasionally come up to chat and want to chat, they will not talk too much out of proportion. At best, they will just make an appointment to have a drink together when they are free. A tea or something.
It is mostly unrealistic for a person who is a 'new rich' or has a bit of nepotism to be praised to the heavens for the first time when he appears in such a high-end public place...
The detour is over and let’s get back to the business.
"Into the show?" Ji Xiaodao pursed his lips and smiled: "Compared to you, I'm far behind~"
Mo Ye showed a faint smile, and then looked around: "I really miss this kind of atmosphere..."
"Miss you?" Ji Xiaodao asked with some confusion. She really didn't expect that the other party would say such things.
"Yes, I miss you very much." Mo narrowed his eyes: "The first batch of victims in Banser City also died in a place like this. It was simply the most wonderful feast. Those people were sinking in madness. Struggling in fear, heading toward destruction with unspeakable ugliness, spreading despair, and finally..."
"You gave them relief?" Ji Xiaodao asked in a low voice.
Mo shook his head: "No, they were buried in their own sins."
The girl took a sip of the red wine in her hand and said, "This is not a pleasant story."
"But it has a happy ending." Mo Tan smiled playfully: "If you stay with me, you will see more stories and endings like this in the future."
His eyes were full of that calm and suffocating madness, contradictory, but not inconsistent at all...
Ji Xiaodao turned away, did not speak, and did not leave.
The girl did not feel the slightest pleasure from the other person's heartfelt smile. On the contrary, she who was closest to him seemed to be able to see how lonely the soul next to her was that tried to turn into disorder, destruction and disaster itself.
This is already the second time...
The paradoxical feeling is still very unpleasant.
If only it was just her own random thoughts... She said to herself in her heart...
…
At the same time, in the outskirts of the royal capital Troon, the Osiris Mage Tower
"Dear mentor..." The mage apprentice, who seemed to be quite old, whispered anxiously to the country-protecting Dharma God in front of him: "The banquet at Tula Palace should have already begun."
Farah, who looked slightly tired, shook his head impatiently: "I know that Your Majesty will understand me. The top priority now is not to attend the banquet. I must confirm that the message has been successfully conveyed..."
He paused for a moment when he said this, and then waved to the apprentice behind him who had the strength of a high-level mage: "You go back first, I won't go too late."
But at this moment...
The silver light suddenly lit up, and a colorful crystal floated quietly in front of Farah, as if it had been here from the beginning.
"Teacher! This is..."
"That's right, the reply...is here..."
