Airlie thought that after finding Bennett's home in the small village of Longbourn, he should be able to quickly find the "target".
For the time being, Ignore the small accident caused by the inaccurate positioning of the teleportation magic - Mrs. Bennett's eager call to reach the Hall of Valor through time and space is only part of the reason. He originally planned to come to Bennett's house, even though Even if you don't show your face in front of humans, you have to take a look quietly.
This time, he was not summoned by the people of this world, so he didn't have a master. He came here just to complete a deal owed many years ago.
The loss of the master will not affect anything, because the consciousness of the world that threw him this task deliberately opened a back door for him, so that he will no longer be a Caster, but come into the world as a Ruler (Judger).
Originally, according to merit, it was absolutely impossible for Airlie to become Ruler.
He is not a saint, he has not saved the world, and he does not have the firm belief that the adjudicator must have and the fraternity that all living beings are equal. At most, there is a slight overlap in the hidden "stubbornness".
But probably for the convenience of completing the task, Airlie, who could not become a Ruler, still became a Ruler.
For some reason, with the change of class, the armor he had worn for hundreds of years and only took off when he was forced to do so was also forcibly replaced.
It was replaced by priestly clothes, also known as holy clothes, but in terms of details, it was not exactly the same as the priestly clothes that were common in Jerusalem when Airlie was still alive.
The vest-like jacket made of five colors symbolizing dignity, compassion, sacrifice, holiness, and authority is tightly bound outside the pure white inner robe, which can barely cover the tight waistline outlined by the girdle.
He was not a real priest, so he didn't have a breastplate with his name and taboo written on it, only a shoulder strap inlaid with onyx that went around under his loose blue hair.
It can also be related to "Ruler" in appearance, and the only decoration on the chest is the silver cross necklace hanging on the chest.
This necklace was given to him by a real Ruler, and he brought it back to the Throne of Heroes, and this time he took it with him.
"The task I received from Alayashi is not particularly difficult, but it is not easy."
Before the official action, Airlie worried about the cumbersome and heavy unaccustomed clothes he was forced to put on for a while, then he thought silently, taking the opportunity to reassemble the loose information he got from the world consciousness in his heart.
"An outsider who does not belong to 'here' has entered this world. However, his situation is different from that of me. In the near future, what he did will indirectly lead to the extinction of mankind, so we must stop it. "
Alayashi didn't reveal too much information to Ellie, and threw him over very quickly.
Therefore, when Airlie came to the present world, he tripped over the overly long robe at the first time, leaving a small half of the shoe print on the snow-white fabric.When he got up quickly while no one was around, he habitually touched his waist——
Good job, not only let him change his clothes, but also confiscated his weapons.
There is almost no difference between Airlie with and without weapons in general, and the force value is not high anyway.
But in essence, it was equivalent to the sword given to him by Merlin and Gilgamesh, which had been with him for so long, and suddenly disappeared, which caused a big psychological gap.
Moreover, after changing his class, his skills have not changed at all. When he needs to fight, he can still hit a few times with a sword. Now he is good--when he was a Caster, he was the weakest magician, and when he was a Ruler, he was also the weakest Adjudicator, Alaya is so fair and just.
Fortunately, he is still the only one who is unlucky. Alayashi should have considered that Ellie is a useless hero anyway, and specially equipped him with a "companion" that will come in handy.
That companion is said to have been born in this world. Although it is slightly different from the era he lived in, on the whole, his familiarity and understanding of this place is not shallow, and his compatibility is higher. The perfect candidate for Lee's assistant and companion.
However, now there is another problem.
Whether it was the mission target that had to be stopped, or the powerful companions that Alaya found with his conscience, there were no specific clues of his whereabouts.
Fortunately, the original landing site was an uninhabited forest. After Ellie struggled for a while whether to cut off a part of the robe that seriously hindered his walking, because (it would be very ugly after cutting it off, and) there was only a cross on his body For this item, I didn't find any sharp weapon, so I had to give up.
"Okay, at least this is not the worst situation I have ever encountered. The first step is just to find someone..."
Ellie could only comfort herself in this way.
The clue that Alayashi really left for him was information about the seven members of the Bennett family living in a small town in the UK.
In layman's terms, the second lady of the Bennet family, Elizabeth Bennet, is one of the luckiest human beings who has received a little favor from the world.
If Miss Elizabeth's life experience is written into a love novel, she is a well-deserved heroine in this story.
The ending of the story is extremely happy and happy. In the end, Elizabeth naturally got rid of the difficulties of her family and social environment, and finally got married with her true son, Mr. Darcy, a wealthy and noble gentleman model.
Well, this is indeed the end of the story as it should be-but if it really develops smoothly according to the prescribed fate, Airlie will not appear here.
At present, at this point in time when he arrived, Miss Elizabeth's story has not officially begun.
It was some months before her future husband, Mr. Darcy, was invited by a friend to Longbourne, and saw Elizabeth for the first time.
Without knowing where the two people he was looking for are now, Ellie decided to go to Longbourn and find Elizabeth first.
Let me explain in advance that for him, the love story between the two young men and women can be used to praise the beautiful emotions of human beings from the perspective of appreciation, but it does not mean that they should not be on the sidelines because they are the protagonists.
Longbourne and his party are obligatory.
There is no other reason, he is going to look for clues, just because Mr. Darcy, who will come to Longbourne in the near future, is the poor man who was killed by the wanton "outsider", and the accidental death has seriously affected him. One of the important figures in the world line.
The outsider brutally killed Darcy!It destroys the combination of Elizabeth and Darcy, the destined person.
Of course, the death of Mr. Darcy alone has not reached the level of the destruction of human beings.
The frightening thing is that after the outsider killed Mr. Darcy in an extremely secret way, he inherited all of Darcy's property.After that, he intentionally or unintentionally killed several big figures who would have a decisive impact on the world in the future, and what was embezzled was not only the property of these people, but also their future achievements and status.
To give the most obvious example:
Outsiders killed the great scientists who were born in this era, and it happened to be Tesla in New York, USA at this time.
That's right, it was the super genius who invented alternating current and became a heroic spirit directly because of this amazing feat after his death.
When he was summoned before, Ellie met Mr. Tesla who was already a heroic spirit by chance.Therefore, after learning that the outsider's attack actually wiped out Tesla, which should have been in the Hall of Valor, I was really surprised.
Well, let's put this surprise aside for a while.
The outsider killed Tesla, who had just become an American citizen and whose AC lighting technology had not been officially released to the public. Naturally, he became the great man who promoted AC to the world.
If he continues to live shamelessly relying on the achievements of others like this, and stop doing unnecessary things, human history can still continue as usual, and Alayashi will not bother to talk to him.
But the problem is that he not only did it, but also made a big deal out of his insatiable greed-how, even if Ellie heard it, he couldn't understand it.
All in all, it didn't take long for this guy to replace someone else as the president, start a world war ahead of schedule, and moreover, with God's help, he produced nuclear bombs decades in advance, and dropped them into the territory of many innocent countries without shaking hands.
boom--
Accompanied by such a terrifying sound, and the destruction of countless countries.
There is no need for "Solomon" to destroy humanity. Human beings in this parallel world are played to death by frenzied outsiders.
So much has been said before, what I want to explain is the danger of that outsider.
All that Ellie can confirm so far is that Mr. Darcy, who was the first to be poisoned by outsiders, died after meeting Elizabeth.
The information he got was incomplete. Among these main characters, Tesla was too far away, and he only knew the specific address of Elizabeth's family.Therefore, he simply went to wait and see, anyway, Mr. Darcy, who was still alive, would definitely come.
……
Hmm...cough cough.
It's better not to mention his slightly disfigured way of appearing on the stage, shall we?
Airlie, who arrived at the Bennett's house as he wished, was unsurprisingly received by the family's hospitality that was almost too warm.
It's all because of his priest's clothes, combined with his dazzling beauty, he really looks like the messenger of God walking down from the mural on the top of the church.
There are inconspicuous footprints on the corner of the robe, and a little ashes stuck to the hair, but these are all okay.
Mrs. Bennet firmly believed that Ellie was an angel called by her prayer after she said that she could fulfill her wish.
In fact, "Angel" only agreed to help her marry all five daughters perfectly, and did not say that she would definitely help match a certain daughter with the candidate she made... But Mrs. Bennet was still happy. Passed out.
Mr. Bennet fumbled, but caught his wife anyway.
This man's character is usually indifferent, but at critical moments, he is extremely reliable.
He was not as confused as the ladies, and although it took him a while to recover, he didn't feel any vigilance or disgust towards this suspicious young man who was definitely not an ordinary person, but he soon realized that things were serious. It's not as simple as the mindless lady thinks.
"No! My lord envoy, don't take her nonsense seriously, how can we bother you to do something?!"
Mr. Bennet's spirit was extremely tense, he just looked away and stared at the floor, almost gnashing his teeth: "If they can get into the eyes of the Earl, how can they wait until today! And, alas, I dare say, these few Among the stupid daughters, there are at least two who will cry and cry to marry you immediately!"
And it is true.
"Ahhh-"
Mrs. Bennet had just fainted, and the girl's screams rang out one after another.
The two youngest daughters of the Bennett family, Lydia and Catherine, who were already spoiled, also fainted. Before they fell down, they cried in shrill to shrill voices that they must marry the most beautiful woman in the world. , Airlie who is still a stranger.Ranked third, Mary, who was the least valued on weekdays, weakly hugged the handrail, and she seemed to be on the verge of falling.
In comparison, the two remaining ladies who didn't faint or scream stood out much.
The most beautiful and gentlest sister, Jane, just blushed, subconsciously looked away in a panic, and went to check on the fainted sisters.Elizabeth, who was in second place, picked up Mary who was about to fall down the stairs, and at the same time, looked straight at Ellie who just raised her head.
From those extremely clear beautiful eyes that only showed curiosity and a little bit of normality, it can be seen that Miss Elizabeth Bennet deserves to be the lucky one who is cared for by luck, and she deserves this preferential treatment.
"If you are really an envoy, then you will definitely not take Lydia and the others' gaffes to heart. We all know that they are just—well, they were too excited, and what they said couldn't be taken seriously at all." Elizabeth The young lady stared at him intently, and said so.
Airlie said: "If I have to say it, I'm indeed a messenger sent by 'God'... But it's not important. Don't worry, I won't care, because the lady's request for the future husband of the ladies, I will Most of them are not satisfied."
Elizabeth was immediately intrigued, and of course there was also the effect of the attraction she got from Airlie.She immediately asked again: "How about this point?"
"Appearance, figure, annual income, family property—"
Ellie was also very cooperative and told her every item.
"The first two items are not mandatory requirements, so let's ignore them for now. It just so happens that my problem lies in the last two items... Well, thinking about it this way..."
Whether it was before life or now after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
Airlie - he was poor all the time.
He had never worried about money before, firstly because he didn't have much definite concept about money, and secondly because, under normal circumstances, he didn't need it at all.
Either the place where he stayed didn't need money, or there were rich people like a certain king or a certain pharaoh who bought the things he needed in advance and stuffed them casually for him.
Without a stable income, there is no real estate with fixed appreciation such as the ruins of the royal city, the pyramids, the Temple of Solomon, and the tower in Avalon (Merlin: wait??), it is even more impossible to have the Golden Rule-some are just "long-term Airlie, who looks good", is definitely the type of marriage candidate that Mrs. Bennet does not like the most.
——Fortunately, Solomon did not reject him because he was penniless when he proposed marriage.
Somehow, Ellie suddenly thought of this matter.
Thinking about it further, Solomon was the only one he successfully proposed, and Ozymandias didn't count, although he didn't dislike him for having nothing.Then, those strong men who rejected his marriage proposal almost all of them didn't tell him the real reason for their rejection...
——Could it be possible, or because they think I'm too poor? !
For the first time in his life, Ellie learned about marriage-related matters through Mrs. Bennet's principles of choosing a son-in-law. There was a muffled thunder in his mind, and he suddenly woke up!
……I see.
That's it!
It took many years to realize that he was a veritable "little boy". At first, Ellie was stunned, then his expression froze, and finally, he fell into an inexplicable loss.
Miss Elizabeth, who didn't know how far his thoughts had drifted: "Uh, my lord, my lord?"
Ellie (snap back to his senses): "Ah, sorry, I just lost my mind."
After rearranging his thoughts, he regained his composure and seriousness when he spoke again: "I can't promise to make him fall in love with any of you about the earl proposed by Madam. However, I can guarantee that he will fall in love with any of you." To see you in person—if I don't see you, Madam won't give up, right?"
Mr. Bennet was still shaking his head desperately, wanting to stop him from the bottom of his heart. Elizabeth also wanted to speak, but Ellie said: "It's okay, I just met as my friend. If you guessed correctly, the Earl ..."
The corners of his lips raised slightly inconspicuously, and his voice softened imperceptibly, a warm look appeared on his moonlight-white face.
very good mood.
When he heard the title "The Count of Monte Cristo", he understood who the "companion" Alaya had found for him was.
He didn't need to bother looking for it anymore, because that companion had already come here ahead of time, leaving him the most impossible to miss the code.
He still remembers him.
So, Airlie's favourite, a reunion with someone he hasn't seen for a long time, is about to begin again.
"Will the Earl's banquet be held every night? That's great."
"Then, if there is no other arrangement, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Ladies, wake up, Madam, please calm down, relax, don't get excited, go back to your room and dress yourself up to your heart's content."
*****
From the day the Earl came to Longbourn, Netherfield Night, which evolved from the name of the manor, has now become synonymous with revelry and expectation.
The fir trees carefully pruned by the best gardeners stand on both sides of the spacious road, welcoming the closely crowded carriages to enter the manor.And where the waiter waits and the carriage stops, the gaze from a distance is enough to pass the fountain in the passage and pass through the open main door.
What a luxurious and exquisite palace this is!Then, the style was regrettably pulled down by the noise of the reception—every guest who came here would have such a heartfelt voice.
Obviously, the interior of the hall, which has now become a ballroom, is so exquisite in every corner.
All kinds of beautifully embroidered curtains hang against the wall, and the piano covered with dark green velvet is just in front of the curtain, as if sitting lazily on the edge, looking coldly at the noisy old man who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.The masterpieces by well-known painters are wrapped in wooden photo frames engraved with exquisite patterns, high above everyone's heads.
However, in the center of the delicate snow-white ceiling, what is reflected are the shadows of crowded men and women with different movements.
The sweaty waiters struggled to lift the trays, passed between the men who were squeezed together, and also had to avoid the women's skirts full of perfume, and from time to time they had to deal with reluctantly tidying themselves up and slyly A lazy person who sneaked into the manor to eat and drink.
There are just too many people.
It was tacitly understood that the overwhelming majority were people who insisted on staying until late at night in a dance hall where there were no dances.The count expanded the size of the hall several times, but failed to make the scene look slack.
Except for the guys who just want to take advantage of it, the guests here all have purposes that are inconvenient to explain clearly.
Men wanted to get acquainted with the owner of the manor, the origin and background of the Count of Monte Cristo, and of course, his ostentation as if a king was on a tour, all of which made them jealous and delighted.
Women want to get acquainted with the owner of the manor, but they are not limited to talking to the count, but directly become the hostess of the manor—the Count of Monte Cristo has already said that he held a big feast here for the sake of Find a countess that he likes among the guests.
No one said that his behavior was unnecessary, after all, he was so confident.
The same goes for tonight.
Those who persisted were mostly young ladies who were a little out of breath by the tights. They still hoped that the figure of the Earl would appear again in the stairwell on the third floor where guests were not allowed to go up.
At the beginning of the banquet every night, the count would stop there for a while, take a look at the crowded ballroom, and then turn and leave without hesitation.
So much so that after such a long time, the people of Longbourn could only vaguely see the white hair under the brim of the earl's hat, and the tall and straight figure covered by the dark green cloak.
"Understood, although you have been here a few times before, but because the earl only showed up once a night, you couldn't... Well! It's really crowded here."
It was so crowded that I couldn't finish speaking smoothly.
It was also Airlie's mistake.
Even if they got there before the party started, the people who came before them - still too many!He managed to squeeze through the door of the ballroom, and when he looked back, the ladies who were with him had long since been pushed out of sight to the ends of the earth.
"Wait--"
"...Forget it, I'd better meet him first."
Originally thinking of taking care of the ladies of the Bennett family, Ellie skipped the step of teleporting directly to the manor to find someone. He didn't expect that this province would save him trouble.
Unfortunately, he was crowded with several panting ladies beside him.
Their makeup was almost gone, but fortunately, there were masks covering their faces, which made them look less awkward—yes, the only request the Earl made for the guests at the banquet was to let them cover their faces and not show their full faces.
Because of this strange rule, Airlie heard the ladies complaining in a low voice: "There are so many people, and you have to wear a mask—how good is the earl's eyes, so that he can see such a beautiful me at a glance?" ?”
That's right, how good the eyes must be to look through the dense crowd downstairs at a glance, and find the only figure you want to look for?
At the same time, Ellie couldn't enter if he wanted to, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to. He could only stand in a stalemate and was blocked in the middle by the crowd.
In order not to be awkward, he naturally also changed his clothes. Under the suggestion of Mr. Bennett, he changed into a fashion that is the favorite of British gentlemen in this era, that is, a dark jacket with a classic atmosphere and a tailored fit. trousers and boots.The mask is more casual, the same as everyone present, a half-face mask decorated with feathers.
In fact, not only will his outfit not be low-key, but it will be more conspicuous.
Not only the figure, but the brighter blue eyes under the outline of the mask, as well as the remaining face that was not covered, will only add to his mystery that people want to explore more and more.
Even, even among the crowd—
Suddenly there was a loud noise ahead, reaching the ears of Airlie who was trying to move forward with difficulty.
There was a human voice that exploded in an instant, but then fell temporarily as if it was cut off halfway.
There are the sound of messy footsteps, the rubbing of clothing materials...and.
There is also a cold voice that cannot hide its indifference:
"Please step aside."
During the period, accompanied by the woman's shouts of surprise, unbelievable doubts, and mournful cries of loss.
"Please step aside."
despair--
despair--
despair!
A strange heat surged again in Ellie's heart.
It was as if the surroundings were miraculously quiet, and the crowded crowd that blocked the way forward all receded to the sides like a tide.
It was as if he was about to meet face-to-face with a familiar person whom he had met before and who had always left a good impression in his heart, and he was already approaching, and...
"Edmund?"
——And, he really broke through the dense and endless obstacles, and grabbed his hand with the most urgent and impatient mood.
Ellie also just called out the man's name at this moment.
The first sound was slightly surprised, but soon he realized that a questioning tone should not be used at this moment.
So, he did it all over again.
"Long time no see, Edmund."
Airlie couldn't help but smile with genuine delight.
……
They looked at each other unexpectedly.
The man who came looking impatiently was also caught off guard, and was illuminated by the flickering light in his eyes.
Obviously before this moment, there is still no hope, but forever persistently pursuing.Look for the "lover" who once gave him salvation in the dark.
Obviously earlier, earlier, I couldn't get it in my whole life...
found it.
also finally...
"... caught."
From the slightly moving lips of the white-haired man, several light and heavy sounds seemed to leak out.
Afterwards, under Ellie's puzzled eyes and the rest of the people's eyes from astonishment to disbelief——
As usual, he appeared at the stairs before the banquet, but unexpectedly rushed down the stairs and disappeared into the sea of people. The Count of Monte Cristo, who appeared in full view for the first time, spoke first surrounded by the crowd.
"From tomorrow onwards, the banquet at night will no longer be held."
There was an uproar.
But the Count of Monte Cristo was not affected by the noise in the slightest. He suddenly took off his cloak and tightly covered the upper body of the young man who had broken through many obstacles. After that, he pinched the young man's wrist again.
Adhering to an extremely tough attitude, he pulled him up the stairs, and finally, standing on the highest platform in the hall, he announced loudly:
"The Countess, whom I have been waiting for for a long time, finally came to my side."
He raised his head proudly, revealing on his pale and slightly gloomy handsome face, was actually a cryptic chuckle still tinged with sarcasm at the corner of his lips.
The object of ridicule is probably everyone under this.
"From tomorrow, I will be here - at the same place, to hold a wedding banquet that is expected to take half a month... no, a month. At that time, everyone is welcome to enjoy it."
For the time being, Ignore the small accident caused by the inaccurate positioning of the teleportation magic - Mrs. Bennett's eager call to reach the Hall of Valor through time and space is only part of the reason. He originally planned to come to Bennett's house, even though Even if you don't show your face in front of humans, you have to take a look quietly.
This time, he was not summoned by the people of this world, so he didn't have a master. He came here just to complete a deal owed many years ago.
The loss of the master will not affect anything, because the consciousness of the world that threw him this task deliberately opened a back door for him, so that he will no longer be a Caster, but come into the world as a Ruler (Judger).
Originally, according to merit, it was absolutely impossible for Airlie to become Ruler.
He is not a saint, he has not saved the world, and he does not have the firm belief that the adjudicator must have and the fraternity that all living beings are equal. At most, there is a slight overlap in the hidden "stubbornness".
But probably for the convenience of completing the task, Airlie, who could not become a Ruler, still became a Ruler.

It can also be related to "Ruler" in appearance, and the only decoration on the chest is the silver cross necklace hanging on the chest.
This necklace was given to him by a real Ruler, and he brought it back to the Throne of Heroes, and this time he took it with him.
"The task I received from Alayashi is not particularly difficult, but it is not easy."
Before the official action, Airlie worried about the cumbersome and heavy unaccustomed clothes he was forced to put on for a while, then he thought silently, taking the opportunity to reassemble the loose information he got from the world consciousness in his heart.

Mrs. Bennet firmly believed that Ellie was an angel called by her prayer after she said that she could fulfill her wish.
In fact, "Angel" only agreed to help her marry all five daughters perfectly, and did not say that she would definitely help match a certain daughter with the candidate she made... But Mrs. Bennet was still happy. Passed out.
Mr. Bennet fumbled, but caught his wife anyway.
This man's character is usually indifferent, but at critical moments, he is extremely reliable.
He was not as confused as the ladies, and although it took him a while to recover, he didn't feel any vigilance or disgust towards this suspicious young man who was definitely not an ordinary person, but he soon realized that things were serious. It's not as simple as the mindless lady thinks.
"No! My lord envoy, don't take her nonsense seriously, how can we bother you to do something?!"
Mr. Bennet's spirit was extremely tense, he just looked away and stared at the floor, almost gnashing his teeth: "If they can get into the eyes of the Earl, how can they wait until today! And, alas, I dare say, these few Among the stupid daughters, there are at least two who will cry and cry to marry you immediately!"
And it is true.
"Ahhh-"
Mrs. Bennet had just fainted, and the girl's screams rang out one after another.
The two youngest daughters of the Bennett family, Lydia and Catherine, who were already spoiled, also fainted. Before they fell down, they cried in shrill to shrill voices that they must marry the most beautiful woman in the world. , Airlie who is still a stranger.Ranked third, Mary, who was the least valued on weekdays, weakly hugged the handrail, and she seemed to be on the verge of falling.
In comparison, the two remaining ladies who didn't faint or scream stood out much.
The most beautiful and gentlest sister, Jane, just blushed, subconsciously looked away in a panic, and went to check on the fainted sisters.Elizabeth, who was in second place, picked up Mary who was about to fall down the stairs, and at the same time, looked straight at Ellie who just raised her head.
From those extremely clear beautiful eyes that only showed curiosity and a little bit of normality, it can be seen that Miss Elizabeth Bennet deserves to be the lucky one who is cared for by luck, and she deserves this preferential treatment.
"If you are really an envoy, then you will definitely not take Lydia and the others' gaffes to heart. We all know that they are just—well, they were too excited, and what they said couldn't be taken seriously at all." Elizabeth The young lady stared at him intently, and said so.
Airlie said: "If I have to say it, I'm indeed a messenger sent by 'God'... But it's not important. Don't worry, I won't care, because the lady's request for the future husband of the ladies, I will Most of them are not satisfied."
Elizabeth was immediately intrigued, and of course there was also the effect of the attraction she got from Airlie.She immediately asked again: "How about this point?"
"Appearance, figure, annual income, family property—"
Ellie was also very cooperative and told her every item.
"The first two items are not mandatory requirements, so let's ignore them for now. It just so happens that my problem lies in the last two items... Well, thinking about it this way..."
Whether it was before life or now after becoming a Heroic Spirit.
Airlie - he was poor all the time.
He had never worried about money before, firstly because he didn't have much definite concept about money, and secondly because, under normal circumstances, he didn't need it at all.
Either the place where he stayed didn't need money, or there were rich people like a certain king or a certain pharaoh who bought the things he needed in advance and stuffed them casually for him.
Without a stable income, there is no real estate with fixed appreciation such as the ruins of the royal city, the pyramids, the Temple of Solomon, and the tower in Avalon (Merlin: wait??), it is even more impossible to have the Golden Rule-some are just "long-term Airlie, who looks good", is definitely the type of marriage candidate that Mrs. Bennet does not like the most.
——Fortunately, Solomon did not reject him because he was penniless when he proposed marriage.
Somehow, Ellie suddenly thought of this matter.
Thinking about it further, Solomon was the only one he successfully proposed, and Ozymandias didn't count, although he didn't dislike him for having nothing.Then, those strong men who rejected his marriage proposal almost all of them didn't tell him the real reason for their rejection...
——Could it be possible, or because they think I'm too poor? !
For the first time in his life, Ellie learned about marriage-related matters through Mrs. Bennet's principles of choosing a son-in-law. There was a muffled thunder in his mind, and he suddenly woke up!
……I see.
That's it!
It took many years to realize that he was a veritable "little boy". At first, Ellie was stunned, then his expression froze, and finally, he fell into an inexplicable loss.
Miss Elizabeth, who didn't know how far his thoughts had drifted: "Uh, my lord, my lord?"
Ellie (snap back to his senses): "Ah, sorry, I just lost my mind."
After rearranging his thoughts, he regained his composure and seriousness when he spoke again: "I can't promise to make him fall in love with any of you about the earl proposed by Madam. However, I can guarantee that he will fall in love with any of you." To see you in person—if I don't see you, Madam won't give up, right?"
Mr. Bennet was still shaking his head desperately, wanting to stop him from the bottom of his heart. Elizabeth also wanted to speak, but Ellie said: "It's okay, I just met as my friend. If you guessed correctly, the Earl ..."
The corners of his lips raised slightly inconspicuously, and his voice softened imperceptibly, a warm look appeared on his moonlight-white face.
very good mood.
When he heard the title "The Count of Monte Cristo", he understood who the "companion" Alaya had found for him was.
He didn't need to bother looking for it anymore, because that companion had already come here ahead of time, leaving him the most impossible to miss the code.
He still remembers him.
So, Airlie's favourite, a reunion with someone he hasn't seen for a long time, is about to begin again.
"Will the Earl's banquet be held every night? That's great."
"Then, if there is no other arrangement, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Ladies, wake up, Madam, please calm down, relax, don't get excited, go back to your room and dress yourself up to your heart's content."
*****
From the day the Earl came to Longbourn, Netherfield Night, which evolved from the name of the manor, has now become synonymous with revelry and expectation.
The fir trees carefully pruned by the best gardeners stand on both sides of the spacious road, welcoming the closely crowded carriages to enter the manor.And where the waiter waits and the carriage stops, the gaze from a distance is enough to pass the fountain in the passage and pass through the open main door.
What a luxurious and exquisite palace this is!Then, the style was regrettably pulled down by the noise of the reception—every guest who came here would have such a heartfelt voice.
Obviously, the interior of the hall, which has now become a ballroom, is so exquisite in every corner.
All kinds of beautifully embroidered curtains hang against the wall, and the piano covered with dark green velvet is just in front of the curtain, as if sitting lazily on the edge, looking coldly at the noisy old man who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.The masterpieces by well-known painters are wrapped in wooden photo frames engraved with exquisite patterns, high above everyone's heads.
However, in the center of the delicate snow-white ceiling, what is reflected are the shadows of crowded men and women with different movements.
The sweaty waiters struggled to lift the trays, passed between the men who were squeezed together, and also had to avoid the women's skirts full of perfume, and from time to time they had to deal with reluctantly tidying themselves up and slyly A lazy person who sneaked into the manor to eat and drink.
There are just too many people.
It was tacitly understood that the overwhelming majority were people who insisted on staying until late at night in a dance hall where there were no dances.The count expanded the size of the hall several times, but failed to make the scene look slack.
Except for the guys who just want to take advantage of it, the guests here all have purposes that are inconvenient to explain clearly.
Men wanted to get acquainted with the owner of the manor, the origin and background of the Count of Monte Cristo, and of course, his ostentation as if a king was on a tour, all of which made them jealous and delighted.
Women want to get acquainted with the owner of the manor, but they are not limited to talking to the count, but directly become the hostess of the manor—the Count of Monte Cristo has already said that he held a big feast here for the sake of Find a countess that he likes among the guests.
No one said that his behavior was unnecessary, after all, he was so confident.
The same goes for tonight.
Those who persisted were mostly young ladies who were a little out of breath by the tights. They still hoped that the figure of the Earl would appear again in the stairwell on the third floor where guests were not allowed to go up.
At the beginning of the banquet every night, the count would stop there for a while, take a look at the crowded ballroom, and then turn and leave without hesitation.
So much so that after such a long time, the people of Longbourn could only vaguely see the white hair under the brim of the earl's hat, and the tall and straight figure covered by the dark green cloak.
"Understood, although you have been here a few times before, but because the earl only showed up once a night, you couldn't... Well! It's really crowded here."
It was so crowded that I couldn't finish speaking smoothly.
It was also Airlie's mistake.
Even if they got there before the party started, the people who came before them - still too many!He managed to squeeze through the door of the ballroom, and when he looked back, the ladies who were with him had long since been pushed out of sight to the ends of the earth.
"Wait--"
"...Forget it, I'd better meet him first."
Originally thinking of taking care of the ladies of the Bennett family, Ellie skipped the step of teleporting directly to the manor to find someone. He didn't expect that this province would save him trouble.
Unfortunately, he was crowded with several panting ladies beside him.
Their makeup was almost gone, but fortunately, there were masks covering their faces, which made them look less awkward—yes, the only request the Earl made for the guests at the banquet was to let them cover their faces and not show their full faces.
Because of this strange rule, Airlie heard the ladies complaining in a low voice: "There are so many people, and you have to wear a mask—how good is the earl's eyes, so that he can see such a beautiful me at a glance?" ?”
That's right, how good the eyes must be to look through the dense crowd downstairs at a glance, and find the only figure you want to look for?
At the same time, Ellie couldn't enter if he wanted to, and he couldn't retreat if he wanted to. He could only stand in a stalemate and was blocked in the middle by the crowd.
In order not to be awkward, he naturally also changed his clothes. Under the suggestion of Mr. Bennett, he changed into a fashion that is the favorite of British gentlemen in this era, that is, a dark jacket with a classic atmosphere and a tailored fit. trousers and boots.The mask is more casual, the same as everyone present, a half-face mask decorated with feathers.
In fact, not only will his outfit not be low-key, but it will be more conspicuous.
Not only the figure, but the brighter blue eyes under the outline of the mask, as well as the remaining face that was not covered, will only add to his mystery that people want to explore more and more.
Even, even among the crowd—
Suddenly there was a loud noise ahead, reaching the ears of Airlie who was trying to move forward with difficulty.
There was a human voice that exploded in an instant, but then fell temporarily as if it was cut off halfway.
There are the sound of messy footsteps, the rubbing of clothing materials...and.
There is also a cold voice that cannot hide its indifference:
"Please step aside."
During the period, accompanied by the woman's shouts of surprise, unbelievable doubts, and mournful cries of loss.
"Please step aside."
despair--
despair--
despair!
A strange heat surged again in Ellie's heart.
It was as if the surroundings were miraculously quiet, and the crowded crowd that blocked the way forward all receded to the sides like a tide.
It was as if he was about to meet face-to-face with a familiar person whom he had met before and who had always left a good impression in his heart, and he was already approaching, and...
"Edmund?"
——And, he really broke through the dense and endless obstacles, and grabbed his hand with the most urgent and impatient mood.
Ellie also just called out the man's name at this moment.
The first sound was slightly surprised, but soon he realized that a questioning tone should not be used at this moment.
So, he did it all over again.
"Long time no see, Edmund."
Airlie couldn't help but smile with genuine delight.
……
They looked at each other unexpectedly.
The man who came looking impatiently was also caught off guard, and was illuminated by the flickering light in his eyes.
Obviously before this moment, there is still no hope, but forever persistently pursuing.Look for the "lover" who once gave him salvation in the dark.
Obviously earlier, earlier, I couldn't get it in my whole life...
found it.
also finally...
"... caught."
From the slightly moving lips of the white-haired man, several light and heavy sounds seemed to leak out.
Afterwards, under Ellie's puzzled eyes and the rest of the people's eyes from astonishment to disbelief——
As usual, he appeared at the stairs before the banquet, but unexpectedly rushed down the stairs and disappeared into the sea of people. The Count of Monte Cristo, who appeared in full view for the first time, spoke first surrounded by the crowd.
"From tomorrow onwards, the banquet at night will no longer be held."
There was an uproar.
But the Count of Monte Cristo was not affected by the noise in the slightest. He suddenly took off his cloak and tightly covered the upper body of the young man who had broken through many obstacles. After that, he pinched the young man's wrist again.
Adhering to an extremely tough attitude, he pulled him up the stairs, and finally, standing on the highest platform in the hall, he announced loudly:
"The Countess, whom I have been waiting for for a long time, finally came to my side."
He raised his head proudly, revealing on his pale and slightly gloomy handsome face, was actually a cryptic chuckle still tinged with sarcasm at the corner of his lips.
The object of ridicule is probably everyone under this.
"From tomorrow, I will be here - at the same place, to hold a wedding banquet that is expected to take half a month... no, a month. At that time, everyone is welcome to enjoy it."
