Chapter 36: Party Invitation
After Lulutis’ introduction, Lu Yu finally chose the wind attribute magic entry.
Casting has high concealment, and when condensing magic power, it can be completely hidden in the normal flow of magic power, making it difficult for the opponent to detect.
The casting conditions are not harsh and require less magic power, which is very friendly to Lu Yu, after all, the magic capacity of his body is really too low.
When summoning Gundam, because there were too many details in the description and description, Lu Yu sucked up three magic crystals, which made Sigrid, who was in charge of money, distressed.
Of course, the most important thing is that the wind attribute magic runs fast.
While Lu Yuan was quietly improving his strength, the current king of the Yas Kingdom, Yas III, was frowning in his palace.
Today, the twenty-seven-year-old Yas III was sitting behind the desk, repeatedly reading the report submitted to him by the treasurer.
To sum up, it’s all good news.
Last year, the fields around the royal city were ripe with grain, and with the bumper harvest, the granaries in the royal city were already full, and they even needed a new one for storage.
The offerings from the surrounding territories have also greatly filled the granary, and the current food reserves are enough to support him for a large-scale military operation.
Yas III twisted his pale golden bangs with his fingers, and his handsome face was still full of gloom.
His eyes looked at the other letters on the desk several times, and every time his eyes touched, the lines on his face stiffened a bit, and even his expression became cold.
He drove away all the servants in the room, he didn’t want the people below to see how he couldn’t control his emotions.
“The border cities were all attacked by large-scale monsters during the harvest season, the serfs lost nothing, and the fields were destroyed.”
These lords of the southern border were unanimous, citing that the damage was too great and they were unsustainable, they refused to hand over the annual gifts to the royal city.
What’s more, after the eldest son disappeared in the snowy borders, Earl Nott began to tentatively build city walls around the border and even near the city-state on the grounds that “monsters attacked the people”, openly challenging the decree left by Yas I. .
In this regard, at the night banquet a few days ago, he sent his confidants to test the tone of the major nobles.
Except for the direct nobles he promoted, almost no one rebuked Earl Nott for his actions.
Yas III came to the throne at a young age. Although the Yas Kingdom left to him by his father had no internal or external troubles, it was a fragile piece of porcelain.
At this moment, it seems to be standing firmly on this piece of land, but as long as there is a slight squeeze with one hand, this porcelain may shatter.
The nobles hope that Yas III will implement the enfeoffment system in a safe and stable manner, so that all nobles will follow Yas III as the only leader.
However, Yas III himself hopes to realize the ambition that the first life and the second life were unsuccessful.
The power belongs to the royal family, order to leave the royal city!
The Second Emperor has been pulling with these nobles for nearly thirty years. If he rejects his approach, the nobles will only gain an inch.
While thinking about it continuously, an idea gradually gained the upper hand in his mind.
Yas III drank a cup of tea, stood up, and paced the room.
There was a knock on the study door.
“Your Majesty, Duke Buckman forwarded the deliberations of the Tribunal.”
Yas III, whose thoughts were interrupted, was a little irritable, and was about to let the attendant leave it first.
After swallowing the words on his lips, Yas III sighed.
“Come in.”
After getting the review report, Yas III took a look.
“The Tribunal has come to a conclusion.”
“The Marquis Lu Yu from the Kingdom of Seris is not a liar.”
“He speaks well, has astonishing experience, and has knowledge that is beyond the reach of people of this age.”
“Although there is a lot of unverifiable information, we can really believe that he was once a pampered noble.”
Yas III looked at the conclusion of the tribunal, listened to the praises for Lu Yu, and recalled what old Drake said when he vouched for it.
“Exotic Marquis…” Yas III murmured and put the report on the desk.
An idea came out, and then Yas III showed a playful smile on his face.
He signed the results of the deliberation, and then summoned his attendants.
“Viscount Andrew will hold a night banquet in the mansion four days later, and all the noble children in the royal city will go there.”
“Let Andrew invite Lu Yu to the banquet… Tell him to be more high-profile, and inadvertently tell other nobles the news.”
The attendant took the order and left.
After Yas III returned to the book, he found the resolution that he had suppressed under the Kingdom Code.
He glanced at it and quickly drafted three letters.
Three knights who were only loyal to Yas III himself were summoned, and one received a letter.
“Left tonight, if the letter is seen by someone other than the three great lords…”
Yas III took a sip of tea, but didn’t say the next words.
The three knights hurriedly stuffed the letter into the inner lining, and bowed tremblingly on one knee.
After everyone left, Yas III moved a chair and sat on the balcony of the study, admiring the afterglow of the sun, feeling the afterglow that he brought to this land, and smiled.
“Lu Yu?”
“Marquis?”
“Also, strangers are always more interesting than local nobles, and I don’t know if they can make those vampires look ugly.”
Lu Yu didn’t know that he was staying at home, but he was already thinking about it. Just now, he just learned a new magic, the blessing of the wind.
The effect is very good, allowing Lu Yu, a war-free mage, to speed up his escape from the dangerous area.
Lulutis was very speechless to Lu Yu.
In the past few days, all the magic Lu Yu has learned is to save his life and run away.
Lu Yu, the magic shield of various attributes in low-level magic, has mastered it.
He also learned wind attribute magic, which can detect changes in the magic power in the air.
Lu Yu has also learned several interference-type magics that can interfere with the judgment of the opponent’s magician.
It was not until Lu Yu felt that the magic he had learned could basically guarantee that he would not be overwhelmed by a sudden monster, he began to learn the wind blade recommended by Lulutis.
Sigrid, who went out for shopping, returned home. This time, there were not only a lot of fresh vegetables and meat in the carriage, but also a lot of crystal nuclei and ingredients for refining medicine that were full of magic power.
Despite Andrew’s compensation, old Drake also brought a box of copper coins for himself because he read the map, but it was still not enough for Lu Yu and Lulutis to spend.
Lulutis is a lower-level substitute who is studying the potion, trying to restore the original appearance through the potion first, so that he will not hide.
Since it was an attempt, it naturally cost a lot of money. In just a few days, the silver coins that Andrew brought were reduced by half.
Lu Yu’s expenses are not small.
Because his magic capacity is too small, he often needs to rest for a while after using a magic power, which affects the training rhythm too much.
If it was simply to hone himself, it would be fine, but he is learning now.
Whoever learns to lose a skill should rest for a minute or two, and then stand up and continue to lose the skill. This also affects memory and feel too much.
In order for the teaching to proceed smoothly, Lu Yu could only purchase all kinds of crystal nuclei containing magic power, and had to deal with the learning stage first.
Watching Sigrid move things from the rented carriage, Lulutis wanted to step forward to help, but the tentacles stuck on the ground sensed the ground shaking.
After Lulutis hid, a carriage stopped steadily in front of Lu Yu’s house.
Andrew jumped off the carriage and found Lu Yu.
“At the dinner party, invite me?”
Lu Yu held the invitation handed by Andrew with a question mark on his face.
In his understanding, this kind of large-scale aristocratic social party is a social platform for local aristocratic circles. Even if he loses a fake identity, and the fake identity of the marquis is very bluffing, he is not qualified to participate in it.
After all, Lu Yu had heard that this party at the Andrew family was visited by the younger generation from various noble families, and the elders did not participate.
Under the circumstance that he made it clear that he was temporarily staying in the Kingdom of Yas, this kind of party with the nature of a blind date, he asked himself to play…
Are you expecting you to take one away?
Andrew was more puzzled than Lu Yu.
He didn’t understand why His Majesty specifically instructed himself that Lu Yu must be present.
My dad, who likes to break his mouth, has such an unreliable mouth. Before Andrew invited Lu Yu, everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that the Marquis from the distant country of Seris would be participating in the banquet.
He completely magnified the praise that Mr. Drake had said when he vouched for Lu Yu and boasted, as if it was an honor for the Turner family for Lu Yu to participate in the party.
Lu Yu immediately rejected Andrew.
He has been working hard lately and has no time to participate in such social activities.
What’s more, as an outsider, what can he do in the large social circle of local people?
His personality is inherently a bit arrogant. In order to maintain this personality, it is inevitable that he will have some friction with other people~www.readwn.com~ This is pure trouble for himself.
After Lu Yu refused, he was surprised to find that Andrew, who couldn’t hide anything, showed a bewildered expression.
This made him wonder.
He has had several contacts with Andrew, and they have a good relationship with each other, but it should be far from the point where he shows an embarrassed expression when he refuses the invitation.
To deal with an upright young man like Andrew, Lu Yu adopted a straight ball tactics.
“Tell me honestly, will you be embarrassed if I don’t attend the banquet?”
Andrew nodded awkwardly.
Lu Yu understood.
He touched his chin and promised, “Okay, I’ll accept the invitation. I’ll be there when the time comes.”
Andrew was overjoyed: “I will send someone specially to take you to the scene.”
Andrew came and went in a hurry, leaving only Lu Yu in a daze with the invitation in his hand.
Sigrid and Lulutis took over the invitation and read it.
Lulutis asked in confusion, “Why did I invite you?”
“I’m afraid it wasn’t what Andrew wanted to invite himself, he had to.” Lu Yu said, “Send someone to deliver the invitation. It’s all up to me if it doesn’t arrive, I just need a servant.”
“But Andrew came in person, and he was worried that I wouldn’t go to the dinner party… This is something he can’t decide.”
Sigrid’s head flashed, and she thought of it in an instant.
“A noble more noble than him?”
“I hope it’s just a nobleman.” Lu Yu said, “The other party wants me to appear so much, if I refuse, I can’t figure out his intentions.”
“At least at the banquet, you should be able to figure out who is pushing me behind the back and throwing me into the social circle of the local nobles.”
