MTL - Examination of the Imperial Examination-Chapter 16 Literary Salon
"Why?" Hearing Williams' answer, Alvin felt a little surprised.
"Oh, don't get me wrong." William smiled and waved his hand when he saw his expression: "Recently, a lot of foreign Beyonders have suddenly come to Pritz Harbor. They are not so disciplined. Newcomers like you are going to the party now. It's no good."
"Okay..." Alvin nodded and said he understood, but he didn't expect Pritz Harbor to be so uneasy recently, so he usually has to be more careful.
After a while, he reconsidered and said:
"What's the matter of note recently?"
Williams sat up straight, fumbled for the stubble, and said, "It's time to tell you something about this, so that you don't get stuck in it that day."
Alvin also listened carefully.
"The biggest thing that has been happening recently is the "White Star" incident in the early morning of June 28. Recently, hidden Beyonders have suddenly become active in various countries in the Northern Continent. Most of them are related to this incident." Williams' words came out.
Alvin was suddenly startled, and a storm surged in his heart: "June 28th, wasn't that his promotion, and the day Klein came? Could it be caused by Klein's arrival? Impossible, such an important thing is not recorded in the original book? The goddess mother is in charge of the secret authority, so it is impossible to make such a big movement, is it me? It is even more impossible, I am only promoted to Sequence 9, butterfly effect? Something happened that did not appear in the original book? "
"Boy, Alvin, what are you thinking?" Williams woke up Alvin, who was still thinking, and looked at him.
Alvin, who was woken up, hurriedly explained, "Oh, I'm thinking about what a "white star" is that can attract so many people."
Williams doubted that he had him, and then said, "I also want to know that some forces have offered a reward of 100,000 gold pounds for this news, tsk tsk, 100,000."
"There is also the "crazy thug" who recently appeared in Pritz Harbor, but he is a great threat to ordinary people, and there is no trace of Extraordinary. By the way, near Palm Elm Street a few days ago, the punisher of the Church of the Storm was there. Sequence 9 assassins were killed there, but they seem to have lost something important there."
"Brown Elm Street? That's the neighborhood where I live. The complex topography there seems to be a place of right and wrong now." Alvin caught this familiar word, and began to think wildly in his mind.
"There's nothing else. It's too far away from you. It's useless to know. This time the news is given to you. It's free! You'll need to pay some fees next time." Williams spread his hands and smiled. Alvin said.
"Thank you" Alvin got up and thanked.
"I still need 100 bullets" Alvin then stated his needs.
Williams turned around and took out a box and placed it on the table in front of him, "9 Soles".
"Okay" Alvin took out 1 pound from the inside of the trench coat and handed it over.
"I'm not looking for you anymore, I'll replace the rest with bullets tomorrow," Williams said, taking the money and throwing it into the drawer.
"Okay, I'll leave first, and I have to go to the teacher's house to finish today's practice," Alvin got up and said goodbye.
Williams was also about to get up and took off his hat to say goodbye, but saw Alvin pick up the glass of wine, pour it into his mouth, twitch the corners of his mouth, and sit back again.
Alvin walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. He turned around and asked, "Mr. Williams, I've always been curious, why isn't there a game of dog and mouse in your bar?"
"Hmph, I want you to take care of me. I don't like such stupid games. My bar is for drinking. People who are like cows and don't know how to taste are not welcome." Williams said angrily to Alvin. .
Alvin "..."
"What are you talking about pointing at me, shouldn't you be pointing at yourself?"
He walked out of the bar and got into the rental carriage. Yuumi directly got on his shoulder and said to the coachman, "North District".
The coachman responded, and the carriage moved slowly.
"I didn't see Jack at the bar just now. If there is no accident, Jack and his gang will do it tonight." Alvin touched the gun bag under his arm and looked out of the car through the window, his thoughts scattered.
At the suggestion of Alvin, the carriage stopped at the door of Teacher Geralt's house. No accident, Alvin saw it outside the iron gate. Teacher Geralt was wearing a gardener's uniform, working in the garden.
Alvin walked to the gate, patted the gate twice, and walked in directly. Yumi on his shoulder, I don't know if he was bored on his shoulder, or was attracted by the scenery in the teacher's courtyard. It's the first time he left the house and took the initiative to leave Alvin's shoulders, and he jumped down as soon as he entered the small courtyard.
When Geralt heard the sound, he straightened up, saw Alvin walking in through the gate with a kitten, and said with a smile, "I thought you would arrive in the afternoon, nice cat, you have one?"
"I picked it up yesterday. It seems to have been abandoned, so I kept it. It seems to be fine now." Alvin replied as he walked to the warehouse, ready to change his clothes.
"There is a dance in the evening, so I plan to come over in the morning to finish today's practice. Teacher, what do I need to do today?" Alvin, who had changed his clothes, walked to the flowerbed and asked Geralt.
"I wish you a good experience tonight, then before that, you need to water these flowers this morning, and we'll do other training after that."
At 1:30 noon, after completing a series of training sessions and having lunch with Yumi at the teacher's house, Alvin dragged his tired body and got into the taxi.
During this period, Yuumi was frightened by the sound of gunfire once, and nothing happened again.
Back at the rental apartment on Citrus Street, Alvin plans to take a break, practice calligraphy, and then prepare for the evening of Mrs. Rosa Bonnard's literary salon.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Alvin took a public carriage and arrived at Mrs. Rosa Bonnard's house at 17 Jasmine Street on time.
Looking at the elegant garden and the small fountain pool with lights, Alvin adjusted his windbreaker and carried a drawing board on his back. It was no different from his usual outfit when he set up a stall, except that there was a curious cat looking around on his shoulders. .
Alvin walked into the door with a rather beautifully packaged painting scroll in his hand. As soon as he came in, he saw Mrs. Rosa Bonnard and her personal maid, Mary, welcoming him.
The personal maid Mary looked at Alvin with a bit of dodging eyes, but Alvin glanced at her without showing any trace, and found that the other party did not dare to look at him, and then looked away.
Mrs. Rosa Bonnard, wearing the most popular women's stand-up collar dress in Ruen at the moment, with white ruffles and rare lace on the neckline and cuffs, revealing a white neck and half of the shoulders, and Mary is still the same Maid outfit.
Alvin handed the scroll to Marie, the maid of Mrs. Rosa Bonnard, and saluted:
"Sorry, I'm a few minutes late."
This is actually a common thing at Luen banquets. Guests would rather be late for a period of time than arrive early, because maybe the host is still busy making the final preparations for the banquet, and it is not suitable to entertain guests at this time. within minutes.
If it wasn't for common sense in this regard mentioned in the original book, Alvin would certainly have arrived a while earlier politely.
"It's okay, the salon hasn't officially started yet." Mrs. Rosa Bonnard glanced at the painting scroll in the hand of Marie, the maid, and shook her head with a smile.
In a social occasion like Ruen, when you attend the banquet held by the other party for the first time, you must give the host a small gift. Among them, alcohol is the most popular. Alvin does not understand alcohol. At noon, he plans to buy a gift from Williams. Bottled his collection, inquired about the price, and silently gave up.
Alvin looked at Mrs. Rosa Bonnard and saw that she raised her right hand slightly, so he took a step forward, took her palm, bent over and kissed, "Your beauty brightens up the whole party."
"The same is true for your arrival, and this cute little guy, it's so beautiful" Mrs. Rosa Bonheur responded with a smile.
As if she understood, Yuumi whispered "Meow"
Then, led Alvin through the porch and into the hall, where the beautiful music had already reverberated~www.novelbuddy.com~ took a few steps forward. Mrs. Rosa Bonnard glanced at Yumi and whispered to Alvin. Said, "If you come here in formal attire, I will definitely admit you wrong. No one told you that your etiquette is completely used for prom? This is just a literary salon. It is completely free."
Alvin smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh! Yes, you know, I don't know anything about this. This is the result of asking someone for advice. I still feel more comfortable helping people paint at the pier."
"Hehe, it's okay, there are many accomplished people in the field of literature today. You can make more friends, which is very helpful to you. By the way, there are many good ladies." Mrs. Rosa Bonnard He whispered to him, and finally winked at him.
Mrs. Rosa Bonnard led Alvin to the living room area furnished with sofas, "Today I also invited a little-known writer, the recently widely praised "Storm House" is her work , she's a very nice lady."
"Mrs. Rosa Bonnard, why do I feel like you're giving me a blind date!" Alvin complained silently in his heart.
"But the name "Stormwind Villa" is a bit familiar!" Alvin frowned and thought.
"You may need to paint later. This is a great opportunity to show yourself in front of many gentlemen and ladies." Mrs. Rosa Bonnard glanced at the drawing board behind Alvin and said to him with a smile.
When painting in front of so many people, Alvin refused in his heart. Seeing that Mrs. Rosa Bonnard, who had always taken good care of him, still did not refuse, she smiled and said, "Of course! This is my honor."
Seeing another guest coming to the door, he smiled apologetically and walked towards the door.
