Making a contract is equivalent to boarding a pirate ship.
It’s hard to think about it anymore.
Only now did Liz realize this sentence deeply.
Such a big price was paid.
Naturally, we need to see results quickly.
Liz walked towards the warehouse door.
But as soon as she arrived at the gate, the earl's daughter had a bad feeling in her heart.
Because she noticed that the iron lock on the door that was originally locked by the kidnappers showed obvious signs of damage.
After that, Liz quickly pushed forward.
It didn't take any effort. As expected, the door was not locked at all and was pushed open easily.
And the scene that appeared in front of the young lady's eyes almost made Liz's eyes darken.
Because, the kidnappers from the original treasure-stealing group were all lying in a mess on the ground outside the warehouse, and no one could stand up.
This should have been a great thing.
It's equivalent to Liz being able to run out safely without any effort.
But here's the thing.
She paid quite an "expensive" fee for this in advance.
In the end, she found out that it was just a redundant move. Even if she didn't make that damn contract with that stinky man, he would have already cleared the obstacles for her?
It's like, something that was obviously free, but she paid a lot of money.
Who wouldn’t stamp their feet if I left them alone?
"you!"
The eldest lady turned back suddenly.
Her beautiful green eyes stared angrily at Liao Zixuan, who was walking leisurely behind her.
"When you came in, you already knocked them all down?"
"Yes, Miss, how else do you think I got in." Liao Zixuan asked back curiously.
This made Liz furious.
The earl's daughter immediately showed an expression of "refund my mother's money".
But after waiting for a long time, Liz couldn't hold back a rebuttal. After all, if we really talk about this matter in detail, it's really a fight or a fight, and there is no reason for a refund.
This time the mute is eating Coptis chinensis.
However, although you cannot express your suffering, you can cry out.
This is a girl's privilege.
Crystal clear tears, glowing a little under the moonlight, began to spin uncontrollably in the girl's eyes.
Liz was indeed one of the tough-minded and smartest noble ladies, but no matter what, she was still just a young girl who had just grown up, a girl who grew up in a greenhouse.
In just one night, I experienced kidnappings one after another, failed summons, and was bitingly cold.
After finally getting a glimmer of hope, he was teased and bullied all the time. It felt like he was being manipulated and had no power to resist.
Especially in the end, Liz completely broke through her defenses.
When I think of the mysterious contract with serious consequences, I can't ask anyone for help to reveal it. In addition, I am now in the wilderness, and I don't know what the hell the kidnappers have brought me to. The cold wind blows, and I can't leave the warehouse. She had no warmth, she was alone, and her clothes were thin, so how could she get home?
Yes, there is also today’s dinner party! He didn't go to pick up Vivian. Can the little girl do it alone? Knowing that something unexpected happened to her, her father must be in a state of confusion. Can the hosting of the banquet go smoothly?
Even now, she is out of danger.
But calculating the time, the dinner should have started long ago. Not to mention that she rushed there on foot, even if she used a carriage to go to the inner city from such a remote place, it was already too late, right?
It was obviously such an important thing, but I messed it up because of myself...
Liz's pride made her unable to accept this reality.
The tears accumulated more and more, and the overwhelmed eye sockets finally couldn't hold them anymore and began to drip to the ground.
Click, click, click...
If it were Liz, the proud eldest lady, she would definitely not be able to cry in front of outsiders.
But right now...
never mind.
I don't know if it's because I've already been embarrassed so much in front of Liao Zixuan that it doesn't matter anymore, or if it's because the two of them have ulterior secrets and they no longer regard Liao Zixuan as an outsider.
In short, Liz squatted down directly, hugged her knees with her hands, and buried her head between her legs. Her shoulders shook, and the girl's faint sobbing kept sounding in front of the deserted abandoned warehouse.
But soon, Liz was no longer in the mood to cry.
Because she found that her body seemed to have left the ground.
It also got a lot warmer.
"This is an extra bonus, miss." A man's voice came to the girl's ear.
Before Liz could react, the scene in front of her began to change rapidly.
The eldest lady wanted to speak, but the howling wind forced her to keep her mouth shut.
Moving at high speed, Liz's blond hair was flying in the air, as if she were riding a roller coaster. Under instinct, the girl subconsciously hugged the objects around her that she could rely on.
Fortunately, the whole process didn't last long.
That is, after two or three minutes.
"Miss, we're at the station, you can open your eyes."
Liao Zixuan said to the girl who was hugging his neck tightly, curled up into a ball in her arms, and closing her eyes tightly in fear.
When Liz opened her eyes tremblingly, the eldest lady was stunned.
Because the wilderness in front of her was still the same a few minutes ago, but it became something she was extremely familiar with. There were many shops on both sides, the roads were clean and tidy, and the tall street lamps exuded warm orange light in the dark night.
In Huodian City, there is only one place like this, the inner city.
How...how could...
From the outer city, it was still such a remote place. If she wanted to get to the center of the inner city, even if she took a horse-drawn carriage, it would take at least half an hour. But as soon as she closed her eyes, and then opened them again, it was like a dream. ...Got home?
No, not home.
here it is...
Liz noticed that directly opposite them at this moment, there was a magnificent building with dazzling lights flashing in the dark.
That's...where dad held the fundraiser dinner this time! The largest noble banquet hall in Huodian City was also her original destination tonight!
"What on earth are you..." The girl raised her head, looking up at the face of the man so close to her with an expression of disbelief.
"Miss, in fact, one of your previous reasonings was wrong. I am not...not just a mage. I am also a little bit good at physical fitness."
A little bit good at it?
It means relying on the physical movement of the body to cross half of Huodian City in just a few minutes, while still holding a personal load! ?
If we talk about the original Liz, she just thinks that Liao Zixuan is a pretty good mage.
Now, Liao Zixuan's image in this eldest lady's mind has undergone earth-shaking changes, and this refers to the image in terms of strength.
As for the image of character...
Seeing that Liz still wanted to speak, she was like a curious baby with countless questions to ask, but Liao Zixuan was unwilling to waste any more time. After all, he was still waiting for Liz to "save the situation" for him.
The situation reported from Vivian is not optimistic.
then...
"Miss, although I know it feels comfortable to lie in my arms, shouldn't you also be considerate of me?"
"You're...very heavy."
How to make a woman lose interest in communicating with you with one sentence.
Liao Zixuan conducted on-site teaching.
The previous sentence made Liz suddenly come back to her senses and realize their current ambiguous posture. She was still holding her arms around each other's neck, and the two of them were almost cheek to cheek.
And the last sentence...
Heavy? I'm heavy! ?
Liz struggled and jumped off Liao Zixuan's body immediately.
She was furious.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Liao Zixuan, but finally gave up, turned around, and trotted towards the banquet venue.
"Miss, you must remember our contract!"
"If you still encounter any difficulties or have any desire to trade..."
"You are welcome to call me at any time. I don't mind expanding the business. As for the method, just use the secret between the two of us."
"Oh, by the way, Miss, you can call me by my name next time, my name is... Bai."
Facing Liz's trotting back, Liao Zixuan sent a message.
When the girl looked back in shock, Liao Zixuan was nowhere to be seen.
white...
I thought about this name silently in my mind.
Liz remembered it firmly in her heart. At the same time, she also thought bitterly that she still wanted to contact him and make a deal with him?
fart!
Even if Liz died, jumped off her castle, and was nailed in a wooden coffin, she would never contact that ghost man again!
forget about it.
Her most important thing right now is...
Hurrying into the banquet venue, Liz's face was the best passport. Her status as the earl's daughter was placed here. Even without an invitation, no guard or servant dared to stop her.
Walking quickly on the red carpet leading to the banquet hall.
The eldest lady was very anxious.
Vivian...
Make sure nothing goes wrong...
If you hold on a little longer, she'll be here!
...
...
half an hour ago.
When Vivian followed the address, she arrived at the venue for tonight's banquet.
It was impossible to say that she was not uneasy. As a small village girl from the countryside, she had never seen such a battle.
There are huge and splendid buildings, many nobles wearing gorgeous clothes and elegant appearance, chatting and laughing with each other, and entering together.
The nobles all have their own circles, but Vivian didn't know anyone except Liz and Earl Thistle, so she came to the banquet alone.
Sure enough, before she even entered the door, the attendant in a suit and collar at the door was the first obstacle to the little girl's stupor.
"Stop! Miss, please wait a moment. This is a private club. It has been reserved for tonight. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
The guard stopped the little girl.
Although Vivian is also brightly dressed and her appearance is not inferior to that of the nobles, the little girl's restrained and uneasy attitude is still obvious compared to others who are calm and accustomed to it.
Therefore, it is normal for the guard to stop Vivian.
"Miss, please show me your invitation."
"Invitation...invitation?" After being questioned outside the door, Vivian looked confused.
Because Earl Thistle never told her that he needed this, and he never gave her any invitation.
"Um, hello, I... I was invited by Count Thistle. My name is Vivian. You, you can go inside and ask..."
"Sorry miss, we won't let you in without an invitation."
Seeing that his explanation was useless, the guard still shook his head, and the little girl suddenly became a little anxious.
The strange situation here also attracted the attention of many nobles who came to the banquet.
Many nobles were stunned by the little girl at first sight. It must be mentioned that after Vivian was dressed up, her pure aura not only did not disappear, but was even more reflected.
And you must know that in the eyes of nobles, purity is one of the top few plus points.
As a result, several young male nobles immediately wanted to come out and come to Vivian's rescue, thereby taking the opportunity to strike up a conversation.
But who expected that there was another female figure, as if she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
He was one step ahead of them all and reached the little girl first.
"Ah, you, you are not the one in the rumors... Vivian, are you?"
The young aristocratic woman covered her mouth and asked the little girl in feigned surprise.
And when she was anxious to enter the venue, when she saw someone taking the initiative to recognize her, Vivian naturally nodded quickly.
"It's really you! Oh! My God, Lord Earl Thistle did not lie to us. Lord Earl really invited you!"
This young aristocratic woman looks like a fan meeting her idol.
She excitedly introduced herself to Vivian, and finally extended her hand to the little girl.
"Hello, my name is Sima. It's an honor to meet you, Miss Vivian!"
"Hello, I, I'm glad to meet you, Miss Seema." Vivian was a little flattered, and quickly replied politely, shaking hands at the same time.
After getting to know each other, Sima asked enthusiastically:
"Miss Vivian, I just saw you arguing with the doorman. Are you in any trouble?"
"No, it's not that serious. It's not a dispute, it's just...it seems that the Earl didn't give me an invitation, so I'm not allowed in. I was wondering if I could invite you in..."
Before Vivian could finish her words, Sima on the opposite side immediately had an angry expression of "How could this be possible?"
Her angry scolding directly interrupted Vivian.
Of course, the target was the guard who just blocked the little girl from entering.
"Are your eyes used to vent your anger? Do you know who this is?"
"She is the great hero of our Huodian City. She is the special guest invited by Lord Earl this time. She is the biggest protagonist of this banquet. Even Miss Vivian dares to stop you. I think you are really brave. Too fat!”
The aristocratic woman named "Sima" scolded the doorman so much that she took out her invitation letter. As luck would have it, there was an extra portion and she gave it to Vivian.
She felt guilty after being scolded by Xima, but when she saw another invitation, the guard dared to stop them and quickly let the little girl and Xima into the venue.
"Thank you so much, Miss Sima. Without you, I...I really don't know what I would have done..."
After entering smoothly, Vivian thanked her new friend next to her with great gratitude.
Xima, on the other hand, showed an expression that said this was all trivial.
After that, we struck while the iron was hot.
"It's okay, it's okay, and... you don't need to call me Miss Sima from now on, it's too awkward, just call me Sima!" As if she mustered up the courage to say it, Sima showed a nervous expression.
Next, Vivian did not disappoint her.
"Well, me too! Sima, just call me Vivian."
"Eh, is it true? I'm so happy, Vivian!"
A huge smile appeared on Sima's face.
Very brilliant.
"The dinner is about to start, let's go quickly, Vivian."
"Okay, Seema!"
