Chapter VII(1/4)

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the study in the morning, Ruibo rubbed his red eyes.

He has been working all night.

As soon as the dance ended yesterday, he returned to his study.

Once the door of the study room is closed, it becomes an isolated "magic world".

Rebecca has been extremely excited recently because he can finally learn new magic.

During the days when he lived in Lombardy, Teacher Masque took time out of his busy schedule and contacted him through the Magic Mirror.

This time, what Mr. Maske taught him was the skill of making a puppet.

When Ruibo saw the words revealed on the mirror, he almost threw the magic mirror out happily.

Since he got the magic puppet left by Kemildit, Rebow has been extremely interested in the magical skill of making magic puppets.

He dreamed that one day he could create a demonic life form with self-consciousness. Of course, the demonic life form he wanted to create must be more honest than the demon he has now.

Ruibo's study is also his laboratory. There are strange glassware on the rows of long tables. Although the number is far from comparable to that in the Bart Forest, it is enough to make anyone who has visited the study exclaim.

On the table beside the window, there were all kinds of bird feathers. In addition, there were a few small plates filled with liquid. Countless tiny threads floated inside these plates, and the liquid emitted an unpleasant smell.

It is precisely because of this that the windows in the study room had to be opened, otherwise no one would be able to stay in this room at all.

Sitting at the table, Ruibo was holding a small and exquisite making tool in his hand, and was carefully trimming the feathers. On his left hand was a very detailed drawing, which was drawn by Ruibo looking in the mirror, drawing stroke by stroke.

Carving the small and fragile feathers into proper shapes and carving magic patterns and spells on the slender feather poles is not an easy task, but compared to drawing those golden wires, the work of engraving spells is much easier. According to the requirements, these metal wires must be evenly thick, but those golden wires are so thin that more than a dozen pieces are as thick as hair. The difficulty of this work can be imagined.

The liquids were also not easy to mix, and the things that were prepared smelled so bad that he once made him wonder if he had made a mistake somewhere.

However, the gaseous life body told him that he did not do anything wrong, because the great magician Kaimildit also fiddled with these things all day long, so the gaseous life body could see at a glance what the raw materials prepared by Ruibo were still lacking and which were fully qualified.

Over the past few days, the work day and night finally gained something. Although the puppet was not able to move, the main structure had been basically completed.

Ruibo stretched out, walked out of the study, and went downstairs to enter the living room.

Unlike in the past, Listen did not come forward to greet his arrival with enthusiasm. On the contrary, everyone hid far away.

On the one hand, this is because of the strong smell floating out of his body, and on the other hand, because he was tightly tied by the princess at yesterday's dance party, and neglected the three ladies.

"It's still early, you have plenty of time to take a shower, and the hot water is ready for you."

Fanny said softly, but her expression was not as tender as before, and Ribo naturally understood why.

The cunning princess deliberately showed her intimacy with her, which made the ladies feel a strong sense of oppression.

Seeing everyone nodding up and down, even the gentle and skillful Miss Lanty and Fanny, Rebow knew that this time the public anger was undefeated.

Ruibo had to walk into the bathroom dejectedly. He not only wanted to wash away the unpleasant smell on his body, but also completely cleansed the strong jealous smell of the ladies.

When Ribo came out of the bathroom and returned to the living room again, breakfast was ready.

Looking at breakfast, Ribo swallowed secretly.

The breakfast was indeed very rich, but it was something he could not eat.

The shells and oysters that were bound to exist in the past disappeared without a trace.

After gnawing the dry bread with boiled water, Ruibo walked out of the villa, and the carriage was already waiting outside the door.

Coaster Ted sat on the throne and looked at Ribo with a smile, apparently knowing everything.

Ruibo got on the carriage, and there was a small exquisite paper bag on the table beside the window of the carriage, and a note next to the bag read:

"These dried squids can fill your stomach. Although the little thief found it, he has already taken action from him. It may not be easy to find it back. Be careful when dealing with the princess. I must be careful and wish you good luck."

The final signature is Eckert.

Ruibo sighed helplessly.

The carriage drove slowly.

The villa where Ruibo lives is not far from the "Abandoned Palace" of Francis VI. Within a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived in front of the "Abandoned Palace".

Getting off the carriage, Ruibo looked at the majestic and extremely exquisite palace in front of him, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

This palace itself is an exquisite work of art. It is definitely the best among the dozen royal palaces in the Kingdom of Francis.

But Francis VI, who built it, was a cowardly and incompetent lord, so this palace was deliberately forgotten.

Ruibo sorted out his clothes and walked into the palace.

The palace ladies had already been waiting at the door to greet him. Although Ruibo was nominally just an earl, all of those palace ladies had the title of countess and marquises, because Ruibo had long been recognized by most people as a natural candidate for future magicians, the courtesy he received far exceeded his title.

Unlike now, the tea party of Francis VI era was held in a sunny garden, and this "aborted palace" continued the tradition of the time.

When I came to the garden, the area of ​​the garden seemed too small compared to the size of the palace. There was only a small lawn with a circle of cedar planted around it.

In the middle of this inconspicuous garden, a flower bed is built, and a pavilion is located in the middle.

Because of winter, glass trellis is also built outside the pavilion, just like Duke Auburn's garden.

When I walked into the pavilion, it was already full of people.

Of course, the prince and the princess were sitting on the main seat, and behind them was a majestic knight.

Rebow recognized this man, he was the extremely powerful Paladin who fought with Kelle in the Bart Forest.

Only one of those guests was a person known to Rebeau, the Duke of Auburn who held the dance yesterday, and it was obvious that he was conducting a courteous return visit today.

The princess immediately came forward diligently, and as the master, she introduced Ribo to every guest present.

There is no need for everyone to introduce this young heir of Sesipao. In recent days, this little Count is the most popular figure in the capital, and legends about him are spread everywhere.

What surprised Ruibo was that after the introduction of His Royal Highness, Ruibo was shocked to find that all the guests invited to this tea party were representatives of all forces in the Kingdom of Francis.

The oldest, elegant and peaceful old man turned out to be Marquis Keane, a court adviser who had a significant influence on Francis XVI.

"Everyone is a tea lover, and I believe they have already felt that the tea they drink is a bit different. This is a precious gift given by the Envoy Thor. It is a rare opportunity. I just want you to taste it." His Highness the Prince said with a smile.

"Not everyone likes to drink tea, right? Earl Medin?" The princess turned her attention to Ruibo.

"My diet has a unique taste," Rebow replied. The Duke of Fucos immediately asked with great concern: "Is Count Medin used to living in Frank? The winter here is much colder than in the south, and I know that your taste is unique. The capital is not near the sea. You must feel uncomfortable with it, right?"

"Thank you for your kindness, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but the weather here is a little colder, and when I first came, it was snowing heavily. Although it will snow in winter in the south, it will not be so." Da Ruibo replied with a smile.

"Haha... Earl Medin, you don't know the fun of winter. The happiest thing in the year is autumn and winter. Autumn is the season for hunting brown bears, winter is the day for hunting foxes, and winter hunting is the most lively palace gathering of the year. On that day, all the nobles in the capital will gather at the Wang Family Hunting Ground to attend this grand event." Duke Fukos said excitedly.

Marquis Keane obviously thought of something, and he asked, "Another week will be the day of winter hunting. The candidates for invitations are being drafted in the palace. Will His Highness the Prince and His Highness the Princess be willing to enjoy the glory?"

"It would be my honor if I could be invited." Prince Henride replied solemnly.

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard that you are a famous rider in the Kingdom of Deliz. You have a few good horses. In addition to the hunting conference, the most attractive thing in winter hunting is horse racing. Will you want to participate?" said Duke Fukos. The excited expression on his face this time was obviously not a disguise. Almost everyone in the Kingdom of Frank is aware of Duke Fukos' preferences. This duke's love for horses has even reached the level of obsession. He has to interfere with all the horse-related matters in the capital. He is of course hosted by him.

Prince Henride nodded and said, "I really hope that Earl Medin can also participate in the horse racing. I admire your superb riding skills, and I am amazed by your horse. I want to compete with you once."

"Ah? Earl Medin is also very skilled in riding. I don't know about this. However, I know that the Medin family has several good horses of purebred blood. If I remember correctly, they should be Polda horses of the plateau. And I heard that these Polda horses also have the blood of Anphronne horses..." Duke Fukos talked endlessly about the topic of horses.

"My grandfather fell off the horse and lost his life, so my aunt killed the four polta horses in anger." Rebow replied.

The Duke of Fucos immediately became silent, "Oh... it's so pitiful...oh...this is the worst news I've ever heard."

"What about the horse you rode?" asked His Highness the Princess.

"Ah, that's a gift from my guardian Lord Hyde," Rebe replied.

Duke Fukos' spirit immediately recovered: "By the way, the guardian of Count Meading is Lord Hyde, who is a descendant of the famous Robeck family, and the good horses of purebred blood owned by the Robeck family. It is said that they were descendants of the dragon horses given to King Sinaire by the Sinaire era two thousand years ago. I have seen those horses, oh, they are the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen,"

His Highness Prince Henride smiled and said, "What a coincidence. My favorite mount is a four-year-old Toramore horse. Legend has it that it is a gift from the Goddess of Earth to the ancient Basil to compete with the Goddess of Earth to see which of the gifts they gave us is more perfect."

The proposal of the prince immediately attracted the support of Duke Fukos. Obviously, as long as the matter of horses is concerned, the big man who is crazy about horses can immediately forget his position. Marquis Keane, who was sitting aside, had to secretly admire Prince Henride's brilliant diplomatic methods. At the same time, he was also secretly worried about His Majesty the King. His Majesty chose an ally of interest for himself, but unfortunately, this temporary friend was an ambitious guy, and Marquis Keane began to doubt his original choice.

The tea party was a discussion about the bloodline and excellence of the thoroughbred horse because of the Duke of Foucous. The Duke of Foucous and His Highness Henride had a very harmonious conversation. The Kingdom of Deliz is a land power, and it often has the meaning of a kingdom on horseback. Deliz's cavalry is famous all over the world, and it relies on powerful cavalry, and the Kingdom of Deliz has its current status. The title of the largest country on land was not obtained for no reason. The Kingdom of Deliz,

From the king to the people, they were very omnipotent about horses. The girls of Delich even knew how to nail the horseshoe. His Highness Prince Henride was so influenced by such anger, and of course his understanding of horses was superior. Duke Fukos was also a person who knew horses. The tea party became a gathering for the two of them to talk alone. When the tea party ended, Duke Fukos seemed to be unsatisfied, which surprised Marquis Keane and Marquis Auburn Keane.

But what surprised everyone even more was that the Princess Deliz actually went out intimately with the heir of the little lord of Sethborough. When he saw that Princess Deliz pulled the heir of Sethborough to board the luxurious palace carriage, everyone stood there speechlessly. Everyone believed that they could hear all kinds of scandals and legends from the people at night. The three powerful marquis even secretly suspected that Prince Henride invited them here to see the scene in front of them. This time, it was implied that the Kingdom of Deliz and Sethborough were closely related.

Ruibo himself did not know all this. He or Eckert didn't know whether he or He was a carriage with His Royal Highness. In the eyes of the nobles in the capital, among the rich nobles who were secretly determined by the upper class, even if they had relatives and were familiar with each other, they had to keep a certain distance between men and women, otherwise gossip would completely swallow them up, and even their families would be humiliated. Men and women shared carriage with each other and became rights that couples and close relatives enjoyed.

Like the county magistrate carriage that Ribo was riding in when he was in Sesipao, the palace carriage had only a gorgeous appearance.

The person sitting inside doesn't feel so comfortable.

Leaning against the window, Ruibo enjoyed the view outside the window, the carriage was driving on Shantrongen Avenue.

This not very wide avenue is called "Franck's Necklace".

Frank really tried his best to embellish this "precious necklace".

Last night, when I went to the Duke of Auburn to attend the dance, I didn’t see the most beautiful and charming face of this precious necklace because it was getting late.

Like Nangang, noon is the most lively time. Carriages shuttled across the avenue, and they were all luxurious private carriages. Taxi carriages and carriages that looked dilapidated and simple, were intercepted by the sheriff.

Those who came off the carriage were either high-ranking officials and noble families, or wealthy businessmen in the capital.

Xiangtrongen Avenue is the road that belongs to the rich.

Like Nangang, the avenue is lined with shops.

However, the shops here lack the show and noise of Nangang, but there is a hint of tranquility and elegance.

The shop is not placed in front of the huge vase and curtains decorated with beautiful and peacock feathers.
