"I'm sorry, Mei Duo, if I had cared more about the Earl's father's affairs, I should have been able to tell you in advance, or discuss it with you before deciding," Gu Hanhan explained to her friend, "But they They only told me after the list was finalized. In fact, I only knew it a few minutes before you - maybe even later than you. m..com Lewen Mobile Network, they didn't specifically tell me that they would let Dad enter the university. I only found out about Wei's clan when another acquaintance of mine mentioned it to me when he returned to Lighthouse Planet. It was too late to ask you again at that time, and I couldn't stop it. I thought the Earl's father might be surprised. I If I ruin the good thing he has been looking forward to for a long time, he might hate me."
"Dad is so surprised!" Mei Duo pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Zhengfeng Fenghuohuo is just about to roll up his sleeves and have a big fight. He is thinking about building a large manor even before he gets off the boat. He wishes he could move his family there right away. Lighthouse Star.”
Gu Hanhan followed Mei Duo's slightly raised chin and saw Count Creston chatting and laughing in the crowd, and his whole body exuded a sense of joy. So he also laughed: "I'm relieved. Our dad is very positive and energetic!"
The big nobles in the sect also slowly arrived at the banquet at this time. Philip came with his father, Your Excellency Theo, looking like a handsome young man. Phillip saw Gu Hanhan and Mei Duo beside her from a distance. His eyes lit up and he immediately abandoned his father and walked toward them.
Of course, Philip's identity was beyond the reach of the valet. He walked in front of them like a peacock with its tail open. Philip greeted Gu Hanhan first, and then his handsome face showed a charming smile to Mei Duo: "Young lady is so charming. I wonder if you are honored to know your name - I, Philip, Philip Theodore." He held his hand Mei Duo's hands and eyes were electric, and she kissed the afternoon tenderly, looking like she was being dumped. The tempered posture charms the four gods and is simply breathtaking.
Mei Duo's cheeks were slightly red, and her breathing was obviously a little disordered. She was obviously no match for Philip, a veteran in the game of flowers and love.
"Oh, Philip, she is Mei Duo, my good friend. How shameless are you to use energy waves to seduce a girl you meet for the first time!" Gu Hanhan scolded and finally removed Philip from Mei Duo. Duo was pulled off his hand.
Patting her forehead with her hand, Gu Hanhan was extremely upset: she was strictly guarding against ladies and little princesses pimping Medora, but she forgot that the fortress was always breached from the inside. In the end, Medora still called Phillip this The playboy was teased.
"Meadow is the contracted healer of Father Creston," she said. "There is a whole energy level difference between you and me, so Meadow won't take a fancy to you, Phillip."
"Earl Creston?" Philip was stunned for a moment, and then regretted: "This is really a sad thing."
At this time, Gal and Lucas happened to walk over together, and Gu Hanhan hurriedly said to Mei Duo: "Come on, I will introduce you to a good friend."
"This is Lucas, Meadow," Gu Hanhan introduced her former bodyguard, "Lord Lucas was my savior. If he hadn't blocked me that night, I might have died. It’s over.”
Lucas was very ashamed: "Please don't say that, miss, I really don't dare to take it seriously. I have already sinned deeply for failing to protect you. It is the master who is kind and did not blame but gave a gift——"
Lucas' gratitude to Gu Hanhan came from the bottom of his heart and was beyond words. Because of his contribution to the New Year's Day assassination, David personally ordered to pardon his status as a slave and put him on the list for this surrender ceremony. After tonight's ceremony, he will become a free and honorary Lord of the Acropolis, a respected independent vassal, and his status will be changed forever. Lucas knew very well that without Gu Hanhan, today when the entire Heidi family was expelled, such a good thing would never happen to him.
Philip was the head of the guard, so he said to Lucas: "After the ceremony, come back to the guard officially. I remember that you seem to have the military rank of guard. Now Miss Gu also has new slaves as guards. There is no need for you anymore, and there is no need for you to continue to stay in David's Guards. Report to the Guards, and I will ask them to arrange a good position for you. If you go on field duty a few more times, you should be able to accumulate enough after working hard for a few years. "Jinxian, come back through Hanhan's back door when the time comes, and she will help you intercede with David, and David will not be stingy about giving you a noble title."
Lucas expressed his gratitude cautiously, as he was always wary of a young master from a noble family like Philip.
Earl Creston exchanged pleasantries at the banquet and was invited over by his attendants. Philip had met the count and was an old acquaintance, so they became very friendly. He was a popular figure at the Lighthouse Star banquet. He knew the origins and connections of the major nobles in the Acropolis at his fingertips. When it came to the topic of buying land in Lighthouse Star and setting up a family manor, it even tickled the count's father's heart. The two of them just hit it off and chatted extremely well.
"It's hard to find a suitable place to build a manor now. It has to be between 30 degrees north and south latitude, otherwise it's better not to build it. The only troublesome thing is that the land between 30 degrees north and south latitude is owned, even if it's vacant land, it's definitely It's under the name of a certain family. Someone must be willing to transfer it." Philip advised the Earl's father, "However, there is no need to worry about this. There are thousands of superpower families on the lighthouse planet, and not all of them are prosperous. There are many families down there who are eagerly waiting to transfer their estates and turn them around. In the past, they couldn’t buy it because they didn’t have enough status. Now, just because of David’s reputation, someone will be willing to transfer it to you, as long as you have a suitable middleman. Ready-made estates , whether you move straight in, knock down and rebuild, or build a new estate on the attached land, it’s all very convenient.”
Philip then took advantage of the situation and made an invitation: "Why don't I organize a banquet in two days? Mr. Carleston will come over then. I will introduce you to a few more aristocratic families who are interested in transferring their manors. I think one of them will like you."
Of course, the count's father agreed wholeheartedly. He was very happy and thanked him repeatedly. He felt that he had hit it off with Philip and regarded this playboy as a good and warm-hearted man.
Gu Hanhan watched coldly, knowing full well that Philip was still trying to seduce Meadow, so he interrupted and asked: "You want to hold a banquet, Philip? Then will you invite me? You always said that your family's banquets are lively, and you want to have a banquet." Invite me to play, but you have invited me not once."
"Welcome to you. If you come, I will send someone to deliver the invitation immediately," Philip laughed. "But you must not bring David with you then. Unless we hide him completely, otherwise as soon as he shows up Our banquet must be ruined."
"Stop interfering, Miss." Gal secretly advised, "The energy of the healer attracts, and it's hard for Mr. Philip to give up. This is a fair fight, and Mr. Philip doesn't have much of an advantage."
Gu Hanhan cursed the evil energy attraction in his heart and asked Lucas privately: "What about you, Lucas? You will also move to a new house after the ceremony, right? Do you have a house you like? Do you need my help?"
Lucas replied: "You can still live in the dormitory in the mansion and the villa allocated by the Secretariat outside the city. I haven't considered moving yet. I am alone and there is no need for it. And if it really happens If you leave the Guards to perform duties in the Guards, you probably won’t have the chance to return to Lighthouse Planet for a long time.”
"I'm not going back to Lighthouse Star," Gu Hanhan said regretfully after hearing this, "Wouldn't it be difficult to see each other again in the future?"
Lucas bowed his head and saluted, and said with a smile: "I will come back every New Year to participate in the celebration. I will definitely come to see the lady then. I just hope that the lady will not refuse to see me."
"No way," Gu Hanhan said, "I will give you the communication band when you come back. We can see you at any time."
Lucas was quite flattered, but Gal frowned secretly beside him, feeling that the sign was very ominous. Because if Gu Hanhan was with David, she could see anyone in the family anytime she wanted. It was just a matter of instructions, and there was no need to leave a private communication band.
As they drank and drank, the time passed quickly at the banquet. The time is approaching the end of the introduction banquet. According to usual practice, David will come to the banquet soon. Earl Creston became obviously nervous, his breathing quickened, he was restless, and he frequently used alcohol to cover up his uneasiness.
"Are you nervous, daddy Earl?" Gu Hanhan asked in surprise, "Why are you so nervous? It's not like you haven't seen David before. One nose and two eyes, just like us."
Earl Creston smiled bitterly: "The previous meeting is different from this meeting. This time is an introduction banquet?"
"Sir Creston is worried about how David will treat him with etiquette." Philip smiled.
He looked at Gu Hanhan who really didn't understand, and explained to her kindly, "The etiquette used by the master to treat him when he is introduced will determine his future status and level in the sect. This is very important. The lowest level. The nobles can only have independent vassals, not family vassals. Even if they accept the family privately, they will not be recognized. Higher-ranking ones can accept vassals and make them nobles themselves. Any noble in the sect, the vassal he receives Each additional level requires the permission of the master and the corresponding noble rank. The highest noble can accept vassals at will without being restricted by any level. Whether it is his direct vassal or a vassal beyond the eighteenth generation, everything is Under the protection of the sect.”
"Determining the rank, this is the whole point of the introduction banquet. They will prepare the service letter after the banquet. So how can you not be nervous."
"But don't be nervous, Mr. Creston, you will be directly named a Gold Medal Noble, and the scope of protection includes the third-level vassals under you. Your introducer is Mr. Theodore, yes, he is my father , haven’t you already seen him this afternoon?” Philip smiled; “David can’t be mistaken, even if he doesn’t remember you, he will never forget my dad.”
"Shit—the person introducing the Stan family is Xia Peng, and the Secretariat has always been very good at doing this."
