Chapter 91 Banquet (Part 2)
【Who is the familiar back? Everyone, come and guess, if you guess right, the essence will be given away, and extra points will be added, hehe! In addition, ask for some recommended tickets...]
The next day, old Wilson took many knights and accompanied Merlin to the town of Consin.
This town is not far from Pugas City, only an hour or two away. When Merlin and old Wilson arrived, everything in the town was normal. The small traders and hawkers were shouting hard on the street It doesn't look like a small town, but it looks more like a bustling town.
"Yes, Earl Sailin is really willing to give you such a large and prosperous territory. With this territory, the prosperity of my Wilson family in the future is just around the corner!"
The more old Wilson looked, the more satisfied he became. The prosperity of the town of Consine greatly exceeded his imagination.
"The Wilson family will definitely become more and more prosperous, but it's not the territory, but the power!"
Merlin murmured in a low voice, relying on such a prosperous territory, was the Nelson family prosperous? In the end, the entire clan was not destroyed, and the territory was given to Merlin by Earl Sailin.
And Merlin was able to get this territory, in addition to saving Count Sailin, I am afraid it is more because of his identity as a spellcaster.
Most of the spell casters are in the caster organization. Even some of the remaining wandering mages have been absorbed by the army of the Black Moon Kingdom. These armies are more precisely the army of the royal family.
Therefore, even in the Black Moon Kingdom, the power of each city-state is very large, but in fact, the most powerful force is still in the hands of the Black Moon Royal Family. .
Strength is the foundation! And the caster is the one who holds the most powerful power! Earl Selin would naturally try to win over Merlin.
"The Nelson family disappeared completely, that's because they didn't have a strong power!"
Merlin knew very well that the Wilson family came to such an unfamiliar country, and the prosperity of the family was all tied to him. As long as he could maintain his strong strength, Earl Salin would take more care of the Wilson family.
On the contrary, if Merlin dies or disappears, I am afraid that the final fate of the Wilson family will not be much better than that of the Nelson family.
Merlin was not interested in the management of Consine Town, so he entrusted the old Wilson to take care of it, and then he returned to Wilson Castle alone.
*****
On a winter morning, the rain and snow had been falling all night, and it stopped in the morning. There were white clouds in the sky, and a trace of golden light penetrated the clouds and shone on the ground.
Today is a rare sunny day!
"Dong dong dong".
There was a knock on the door outside the house, and then the gray-clothed maid called into the house, softly shouting, "Lord Baron, your dress is ready."
"come in."
A faint voice came from the room, and then the young maid cautiously opened the door, bowed her head, held a stack of clothes in her hands, and came to the bed respectfully.
"Lord Baron, this is your dress for today's banquet. Mrs. Wilson made it overnight yesterday."
The maid was very nervous, and felt that her breathing was a little short, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.
"Are you afraid of me?"
A soft voice came to my ears,
It made the young maid even more nervous. It was the first time she faced the owner of Castle Wilson, a young baron!
Although the servants in the castle said that the baron was very kind, the young maid who had seen too many noble faces did not dare to relax in the slightest.
"Forget it, put down your clothes and go out."
Hearing the voice of the baron, the gray-clothed maid left the baron's room as if she had been granted amnesty.
Looking at the back of the maid, Merlin, who was standing in front of the mirror, shook his head helplessly with a wry smile on his face. In fact, not only the maid, but also the commander of Pula, the housekeeper, and even the younger sister who has always been very casual to Merlin. Mei Xue also had some changes in her attitude towards Merlin.
Merlin felt a little bit of estrangement, or in other words, the gap brought about by identity and status!
"The clothes are nice."
Merlin put on the dress sent by the maid. It was designed by Mrs. Busty and took a few days to complete. Even from the perspective of Merlin's previous life, this was an excellent dress.
For a good piece of clothing, the choice of material and style is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to match the temperament of the dress. Merlin stood in front of the mirror and looked at the new appearance of his whole body. Compared with before, he was a little less childish. Although there was no change in his body shape, those blue eyes were filled with a deep feeling.
Confident, elegant, and mature, Merlin in the mirror seems to be a little unbelievable even for himself. When he first came to this strange world, his temperament has almost changed drastically. Although his appearance has not changed, there is no one anymore. It will connect the former Merlin with the current Merlin.
Merlin came downstairs and saw old Wilson, Baron Barman, Mei Xue and others, but he looked carefully and found that there was indeed one person missing, so he frowned and said, "Where's Avril?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Merlin heard the movement upstairs, so he turned around and saw that Avril was in full clothes at this time, and came downstairs lightly by the corner of her skirt.
Merlin only saw Avril a few times in Blackwater City, and only thought that Avril's facial features were very delicate, she looked like a delicate porcelain doll, very beautiful.
But this time, Avril was dressed in a fancy dress and had heavy makeup on her face, which made her whole person look a little more mature and a little more feminine, which made Merlin's heart beat.
"Well, it's beautiful today! Let's go."
Merlin whispered to Avril, and Avril hesitated for a while, but came to Merlin's side, gently held Merlin's arm, and walked into the carriage that had been prepared.
Without Merlin's orders, Moss already knew his destination today, so he slowly drove the carriage towards the Earl's Castle.
In the carriage, Merlin and Avril were sitting together, and a very pleasant fragrance wafted from Avril's body constantly, presumably because of the banquet, Avril had put some perfume on her body.
However, Avril seemed very nervous. She didn't dare to look up at Merlin while the carriage was motionless.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a banquet."
Merlin reached out and held Avril's hand, comforting softly.
Avril's body froze slightly, but she relaxed quickly and nodded submissively. Merlin knew that Avril's tension had eased somewhat.
"Lord Baron, the earl's castle has arrived."
After a while, Moss drove the carriage and gradually stopped in front of the earl's castle.
"Avril, here we are, let's go down."
Merlin took Avril's hand and slowly got off the carriage. At this time, many luxurious carriages had been parked outside the Count's castle, and some nobles dressed in costumes were chatting with each other and entering the castle.
"what?"
Merlin frowned. He seemed to have seen a familiar figure in front of him just now, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Merlin, what's wrong?"
Avril noticed Merlin's abnormality and asked softly.
"It's nothing, maybe it's a mistake, well, the banquet should be about to start, let's go first."
Merlin shook his head, and without thinking too much, led Avril into the castle.
