Chapter 36 36 Party Invitation

Chapter 36 36. Party Invitation

After Lulutis' introduction, Lu Yu finally chose the wind attribute magic for beginners.

The casting is highly concealed, 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 the required magic power is small, which is very friendly to Lu Yu, after all, his body's magic power capacity is really too low.

When summoning Gundam, because there are too many details in the description and depiction, Lu Yu sucked up three magic crystals, which made Sigrid, who manages the money, feel distressed.

Of course, the most important thing is that wind attribute magic runs fast.

While Lu Yu was quietly improving his strength, the current king of the Kingdom of Yas, Yas III, was frowning in his palace.

Today, Yas III, who was 27 years old, sat behind the desk and repeatedly read the report submitted to him by the chief financial officer.

To sum up, it was all good news.

Last year, the fields around the royal city were full of grain. With the bumper harvest, the granaries in the royal city were full, and even new granaries were needed for storage.

The tributes from the surrounding territories also greatly filled the granaries. The current grain reserves were enough to support him in a large-scale military operation.

Yas III twisted his light golden bangs with his fingers, and his handsome face was still full of worries.

He looked at the other letters on the table several times. Every time his eyes touched them, the lines on his face stiffened a little, and his face became cold.

He drove away all the servants in the room. He didn't want the people below to see that he couldn't control his emotions.

"The border cities all suffered large-scale monster attacks during the harvest season, and the serfs suffered countless losses and the fields were destroyed."

These lords in the southern border said in unison that they refused to pay the annual gift to the royal city on the grounds that they had suffered too much damage and could not continue.

What's more, after his eldest son disappeared in the snowy plains at the border, Earl Nott began to tentatively build walls near the border and even the city-state on the pretext of "monsters attacking and killing people", openly challenging the decree left by Yas I.

In response to this, he sent his confidants to test the tone of the nobles at the night banquet a few days ago.

Except for the nobles he promoted, almost no one criticized Earl Nott's behavior.

Yas III ascended 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 porcelain.

At this moment, it seems to stand firmly on this land, but as long as a hand gently pinches it, this porcelain may fall apart.

The nobles hope that Yas III will implement the feudal system steadily, so that all nobles will look up to Yas III.

But Yas III himself hopes to realize the ambition that the first and second generations failed to achieve.

Power belongs to the royal family, and orders come from the royal city!

The second king has been fighting with this group of nobles for nearly thirty years. If he denies his approach, the nobles will only be more aggressive.

As he kept thinking, an idea gradually took over his mind.

Yas III drank a cup of tea, stood up, and paced in the room.

There was a knock on the door of the study.

"Your Majesty, Duke Buckman handed over the deliberation results of the deliberation court."

Yas III was a little annoyed when his thoughts were interrupted, and was about to let the servant put it aside first.

Swallowing the words on his lips, Yas III sighed.

"Hand it in."

After receiving the deliberation report, Yas III opened it and took a look.

"The deliberation court has reached a conclusion."

"Marquis Lu Yu from Seris is not a liar."

"He has extraordinary conversation, amazing experience, and the knowledge he possesses is beyond the reach of people of this age."

"Although there is a lot of information that cannot be verified, we can indeed believe that he was once a pampered noble."

Aas III looked at the conclusion of the deliberation court, listened to the praises for Lu Yu, and recalled the words that old Drake said when he guaranteed.

"A foreign marquis..." Aas III murmured and put the report on the desk.

An idea popped up, and then Aas III showed a playful smile on his face.

He signed the deliberation results and called the attendant.

"Viscount Turner will hold a night banquet in the mansion in four days, and all the nobles in the royal city will go there."

"Let him invite Lu Yu to participate in the banquet...by the way, tell him to be more high-profile, and also tell this news to other nobles inadvertently."

The attendant took the order and left.

After returning to his desk, Yas III found the resolution that he had suppressed under the kingdom's code.

He took a look and quickly drafted three letters.

Three knights who were only loyal to Yas III were summoned, and each of them received a letter.

"We will set off tonight. If the letter is seen by people other than the three great lords..."

Yas III took a sip of tea and did not say the rest.

The three knights quickly stuffed the letter into the lining and knelt on one knee tremblingly to salute.

When everyone left, Yas III moved a chair and sat on the balcony of the study, admiring the afterglow of the sun, feeling the remaining warmth he brought to the land, and smiled.

"Lu Yu?"

"Marquis?"

"Well, foreigners are always more interesting than local nobles. I don't know if I can make those vampires look bad."

Lu Yu didn't know that he was being missed even though he was staying at home. Just now, he had just learned a new magic, the Blessing of the Wind.

The effect is very good, which can help Lu Yu, a combat-free mage, escape from dangerous areas faster.

Lulutis was speechless about Lu Yu.

The magic that Lu Yu learned these days is all about saving his life and running away.

Lu Yu has learned the magic shields of various attributes in low-level magic.

He also learned the wind attribute magic that can enhance perception and detect the changes in magic power in the air.

Lu Yu also learned several interference magics that can interfere with the judgment of the opponent's magician.

It was not until Lu Yu felt that the magic he learned could basically ensure that he would not be knocked down by the sudden monster that he began to learn the wind blade recommended by Lulutis.

Sigrid, who went out to buy, returned home. This time, there were not only a lot of fresh vegetables and meat in the carriage, but also a lot of crystal cores and alchemy materials full of magic power.

Despite Andrew's compensation, Old Drake also moved a box of copper coins for himself because he looked at the map, but it was still not enough for Lu Yu and Lulutis to spend.

Lulutis was studying the inferior substitute of the potion, trying to restore the original appearance through the potion first, so that he would not have to hide.

Since it was an attempt, it was naturally very expensive. In just a few days, Andrew's silver coins were reduced by half.

Lu Yu's expenses were not small.

Because his magic capacity was too small, he often needed to rest for a while after using a magic, which really affected the training rhythm too much.

If it was just to hone himself, it would be fine, but he was learning now.

Who would rest for one or two minutes after casting a skill, and then stand up to continue casting skills? This would affect memory and feel too much.

In order to carry out the teaching smoothly, Lu Yu could only purchase various crystal cores containing magic to deal with the learning stage first.

Seeing Sigrid moving things from the rented carriage, Lulutis wanted to help, but the tentacles inserted in the ground noticed that the ground was shaking.

After Lulutis hid, a carriage stopped steadily in front of Lu Yu's house.

Andrew jumped off the carriage and found Lu Yu.

"Dinner, invite me?"

Lu Yu took the invitation handed over by Andrew, with a question mark on his face.

In his cognition, such large-scale aristocratic social evenings are all social platforms for local aristocratic circles. Even if he lost a fake identity, and the fake identity of the marquis was also very bluffing, he was not qualified to participate in it.

After all, Lu Yu heard that the party at Andrew's house was visited by the younger generation of various aristocratic families, and the elders did not participate.

When he clearly stated that he would stay in the Kingdom of Yas temporarily, this kind of party with the nature of blind date was looking for him to play...

Is it expected that he could take one away?

Andrew was more puzzled than Lu Yu.

He didn't understand why His Majesty would specifically tell him that Lu Yu must be there.

His father who liked to chatter was so unreliable. Before Andrew invited Lu Yu, the aristocratic circle knew that the marquis from the distant country of Seris would participate in the banquet.

He was just exaggerating the compliments that Drake had said when he vouched for Lu Yu, as if it was an honor for the Turner family that Lu Yu could participate in the party.

Lu Yu rejected Andrew outright.

He has been studying hard recently and has no time to participate in such social activities.

What's more, what can he do as an outsider in the large social circle of locals?

His personality is originally a bit arrogant. In order to maintain this personality, it is inevitable that he will have some friction with others. This is pure trouble for himself.

After Lu Yu rejected it, he was surprised to find that Andrew, who couldn't hide his face, showed a helpless expression.

This made him wonder.

He and Andrew had several contacts and they had a good relationship with each other, but it should be far from the point where he showed an embarrassed expression when he refused the invitation.

To deal with a straightforward young man like Andrew, Lu Yu adopted a straight ball tactic.

"Tell me honestly, will you be embarrassed if I don't attend the party?"

Andrew nodded awkwardly.

Lu Yu understood.

He touched his chin and promised, "Okay, I'll accept the invitation and I'll be there."

Andrew was overjoyed: "I'll send someone to pick you up."

Andrew came and left in a hurry, leaving Lu Yu in a daze with the invitation in his hand.

Sigrid and Lulutis took the invitation and read it.

Lulutis asked in confusion, "Why invite you?"

"I'm afraid it's not Andrew who wants to invite you, but he has to." Lu Yu said, "It's my business to send someone to deliver the invitation. I only need a servant."

"But Andrew came in person and seemed to be worried that I wouldn't go to the dinner... This is something he can't decide."

Sigrid's mind was bright and she thought of it in an instant.

"A nobleman with a more noble status 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 will not be able to figure out his intentions."

"At least by attending the banquet, I should be able to figure out who is pushing me behind the scenes and throwing me into the social circle of local nobles."

No, TI is too exciting. There are IG and LGD tonight, I must watch it... Forgive me for not being able to update twice a week, I will definitely make up for what I owe!
