Kelsen looked at the expensive suit he was wearing, which was given to him by Sai. Since he didn't have time to make a custom order, and since the two of them were similar in stature, Sai simply selected a few formal suits that he had bought and not yet worn and gave them to Kelsen.
According to what the old butler Duncan inadvertently revealed, Sai actually has a rich family, but most of the property is not easy to use openly, or is simply gray real estate that cannot be sold.
In fact, logically speaking, Kelsen is not considered a poor household now. If he kills Anshou, the goose that lays the golden eggs, he can squeeze out nearly a hundred gold dogon. But unless one day Kelsen is ready to escape Kongsbord, he will choose to break this protective umbrella.
Duncan carefully took out a brilliant blue diamond brooch from the box, then carefully pinned it on Kelson's chest, and smoothed his collar: "Your Excellency Kelson's temperament is actually more suitable for Shui Longlei's brooch, but Since you require a low profile, you can only use this one."
Kelsen actually didn't know what Water Dragon Tears were, but it was said to be the crystallization of a dragon, so the price wouldn't be cheap. I had no choice but to ask Duncan to choose some low-key jewelry. He was there to drink, not really to socialize.
"Gene isn't here today?" Kelson asked casually.
"Mr. Jean is still in charge of the affairs of the Dark Hand today, and he hasn't been around much lately." Duncan took out a quartz pocket watch from the glass cabinet, with fine obsidian scales on the bronze dial, and put it into the chest strap for Kelson. middle.
"Well, I'll trouble you today." Kelson took the gentleman's cane handed over by the old butler. Because of Sai's personal hobby, these canes are actually sword canes.
Putting on his hat, when Duncan went to drive, Kelson began to look at the falling snowflakes outside. At this time in previous years, it should be Christmas. The time calendar of this world is different from that of his past world. There is an extra month every year, but the cold is still the same.
Duncan drove the car and Kelson got in. Because the banquet was located in the upper area, the car quickly arrived at the location.
After getting out of the car, Kelson asked Duncan not to see him off later. He planned to go to the secret hand's distribution point in the upper area to ask how the materials for the second-level promotion potion were being collected.
Taking out the invitation, Kelson successfully entered the splendid hall. The person who reported the banquet was a countess, who was said to be the boss of Holy Trinity Affiliated Hospital. Basically, everyone in the department who had some level of experience came. It can only be said that Dana probably really wanted to support this young boy who was born as a commoner like him, so he also prepared an invitation for him.
Obviously, Kelsen's appearance really surprised many people. As the saying goes, a man is judged by his clothes. Kelsen, who is usually poor, is very attractive and favored by female classmates just because of his appearance. It will make my scalpel slow down." Maybe he has already become wealthy.
Now that he is wearing a straight formal suit and his long silver-gray hair is tied into a ponytail at the back, his aura suddenly rises. Coupled with his pale, jade-like skin, he has the coolness of a serious handsome man.
Many aristocratic daughters have begun to inquire about Kelsen's origins with their friends, and those who knew Kelsen were surprised that the nerdy person in ordinary times could have such a big change.
"Kelson!" The first person to greet him was Dana, and next to him was his mentor Zangwill. Now Kelson understood why Dana was willing to fight for this opportunity for him. At this moment, he was holding a wine glass in his hand, and his eyes were filled with relief.
He quickly walked over and greeted his mentor's director. Zangwill patted him on the shoulder and said a few words:
"You have finally enlightened yourself. You must know that besides knowledge, people still have many things worth pursuing."
"Uh..." Kelson didn't know how to continue this topic, so he had to find another one: "Mentor, why did you come to the sorority?"
Professor Zangwill lowered his voice: "There is no way, this Count Melina is really generous. I have to come and negotiate with her for the research funds of Holy Trinity School next year."
"But this is all the business of us old guys. As for you, just enjoy the banquet." Dana said with a smile next to him.
The crisp sound of the spoon hitting the glass made everyone at the banquet quiet. A plump lady walked out from the second floor. Although she was dressed up, the heroic spirit emanating from under her sharp eyebrows made people doubt her fluffy skirt. Is there a sword hidden underneath?
She didn't seem to like red tape, so she simply said a few words:
"Well, I'll announce the start of the banquet, and then we'll play music and dance."
The cheerful music sounded, and the men and women continued to whisper excitedly. Many people had already kissed each other and invited them to dance tango in the center of the dance floor.
As for Kelsen, although he does not need to eat, his original sense of taste and smell has become stronger due to the installation of Buyer's furnace. His appetite can be satisfied, and the food he swallows will also be activated by the body. The decomposition of the necrotic ether, especially of meat, helps to relieve the working pressure of the furnace.
So Kelson directly picked up the plate and started to put the steak and lobster on it, first aiming to fill the throat. Kelsen also looked very elegant when eating...he killed a big lobster in three mouthfuls. Fortunately, everyone was here to socialize and didn't notice that this was a glutton reincarnated.
But soon the dining table was moved aside. It turned out that the dance party had officially started, and now it was about to start dancing in the center of the main hall. The band stopped playing the melodious music and started to switch to exciting dance music. Kelsen inserted a piece of meat and swallowed it. It seemed that the countess was still a person of temperament.
When his ears twitched, Kelsen looked to the side. There was already a queue, and several men were inviting a woman out, but they didn't get a response, so he had to leave in angrily manner. The last man who had finished dressing and was about to invite someone caught Kelsen's attention.
Yo, isn't this my brother Anthony?
The person invited was Mofna, whom Kelson had a relationship with. She was wearing a gorgeous and low-key dress, and her hair was tied into a mature bun, but it still couldn't hide her petite and cute temperament. She looked more like a Delicate porcelain doll.
Anthony was obviously destined to win. After being rejected, he invited him twice in a row. According to the customs here in the Principality of Sivia, if a man invites him three times in a row, even if the lady is unwilling, she should still dance with him for a while. It's just that no one usually uses this rule. After all, anyone who is rejected once should leave wisely to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.
It can be seen that Anthony, the illegitimate son, is a bit psychopathic. He actually engages in performance art with a set of rules. This is a lowly man.
Mofna frowned. Logically speaking, she could have ignored the rule and refused directly, but she seemed to be a person who valued rules very much. Even though her face was full of reluctance, she still extended her hand. The men who invited him before were watching from a distance, and their expressions seemed to have already greeted Anthony in their hearts.
Anthony's face was full of gloom. After the last encounter, he privately inquired about the background of this Mofna, and concluded that he knew nothing about it except that she was rich. This shows that this girl's family may have a background in the military or even a supernatural organization, which is also the core force of the principality.
Even if he leaves a bad impression, he still has to leave some impression first. Later, through the use of flowers and jewelry, and adding her own romantic formula, can such a little girl who is not experienced in the world resist it? In the end, it must not become his plaything and a tool for him to climb up to power.
Just as he was immersed in his dark fantasy, a familiar yet disgusting voice sounded in his ears.
"Miss Mofna, would you like to dance with me?"
He turned his head and saw Kelsen's half-smiling face.
