Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 88: Douglas Hill (Subscription, monthly ticket)

For the nobles, banquets are always a topic that cannot be avoided!
Those who host banquets need to use banquets to maintain relationships, accumulate connections, and even to announce the occurrence of certain events.

People of noble status can enjoy the happiness of being sought after by everyone, just like the moon surrounded by stars.

People of similar status can talk, exchange ideas and discuss business.

People of humble status can accumulate personal connections through banquets. In many cases, as long as you can get to know him, you are gaining resources.

Men can attract beautiful female companions at banquets; girls can find their ideal partners through banquets.

Although Luoyi was an illegitimate child, he was qualified to attend the banquet after he took over the Raymond family's business in Auckland City and invested in the Xiangsheli Magic Textile Factory.

He received many invitations, and if he wanted, he could also attend different aristocratic banquets.

Either you build up your network among men, or you become a playboy among women.

Luo Yi was very familiar with this routine in his previous life, so in this life, he really has no interest in it at all.

The fact that he has never attended a large banquet to this day is proof of this!

Moreover, he knew better than anyone that when there were more people at such a banquet, there would be more thoughts and more messy things would occur.

After getting drunk, they might even start a duel just because of a glance at each other. The aristocratic demeanor is simply a joke.

Therefore, this kind of banquet is actually a great test for the butler.

They not only had to prepare food, host the guests, prepare the band and maids, and seat the guests,
You also have to pay attention to various emergencies and make plans to ensure the smooth progress of the banquet.

Therefore, hosting a banquet is a compulsory course for every butler, but at the same time, it is also the most challenging task for a butler's ability.

Hoover was specially trained by the Raymond family. His ancestors for three generations were all butlers. It can be said that they have seen the most glorious scenes and are naturally experienced.

With such an experienced housekeeper, Luo Yi saved himself a lot of trouble.

He hardly had to worry about trivial matters, just wait for the banquet to start and then attend it.

……

In the afternoon,

19 Lombard Street, second floor, bedroom.

Luo Yi put on the tailor-made gentleman's suit and stood in front of a mirror as tall as a person to make adjustments to the details.

The gentleman's suit that fits the body curves perfectly outlines Luo Yi's straight figure. His handsome facial features and eyes as bright as stars give people a feeling of vitality and energy.

The hair was so meticulously groomed that every strand seemed to be glossy.

However, you don't see in him the immaturity, cowardice, or even the cautiousness that a young person should have.

It is more about calmness, the confidence that comes from the bones, and the steadiness that can remain calm even if the sky falls.

This is extremely rare in young people!
This is also the reason why everyone who comes into contact with him will not treat him as a child.

Just the temperament doesn't look like it!

On the other side, Lilia Leitninger also walked over with elegant steps.

She was wearing a light blue evening gown. The strange fabric was mixed with magic, and it seemed to be shining all the time.

The evening gown was inlaid with countless tiny diamonds, shining brightly like stars.

This dress also has an off-shoulder design. Lilia's cold white skin is like porcelain, and her delicate collarbone is full of temptation.

A pair of light blue eyes are as blue as the sea, and one glance at them can make people sink into them.

"Does it look good?" Lilia asked:
"Very beautiful!"

Luo Yi nodded without hesitation, and after a pause, he added: "It is so beautiful, like a masterpiece of God."

Lilia smiled brightly, took Luo Yi's arm and said, "Let's go. You are the protagonist tonight. It will be bad if you go late."

"It's time to go!"

As he said this, Roy had already taken Lilia's hand and went downstairs. Outside the door, the Raymond family's carriage had been waiting for a long time.

Roy and Lilia had to go to the manor to prepare first. As hosts, they couldn't keep their guests waiting.

……

At the same time, in an inn, three other people were also preparing.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a thick beard that he didn't trim carefully, so it looked like weeds.

He was facing the mirror, trying hard to get ready.

But it was obvious that his technique was rather crude, so the more he took care of it, the more messy it became.

Then, a young man came over and said timidly: "If you can't take good care of it, just shave it all off. I learned the craft in a barber shop. If you need me to help you!"

"You're dreaming. I've accumulated this beautiful beard over the years. Don't even think about shaving it off."

"But we are going to attend a banquet tonight. Wouldn't it be rude of you to go like this?" The bearded man seemed to be angry and embarrassed. He threw the scissors in his hand and shouted, "Disrespectful? Am I afraid of being rude?
It was that man who wanted to buy the factory we were about to inherit, and it was he who asked us for something, so why should we feel rude?"

"But, but..."

"No buts, just listen to me. If you listen to me, you will definitely get the greatest benefit."

"But haven't you heard the rumors outside?"

The young man finally mustered up his courage, and he spoke with excitement, “There are rumors about this illegitimate child out there.

They called him Lucky Boy, The Undertaker, and The Ghost Hunter.

He got the treasure of the Bloody Mary Pirates, which was tens of thousands of gold.

But he is still alive and well, and those noble lords didn't rob him?
Also, he is accompanied by a powerful super warrior, who is said to have killed a demon from the abyss.

Also, I heard that he is also very powerful, he..."

The bearded man became even angrier. He shouted, "Are you done yet? No matter how powerful he is, what does it have to do with you?"

The young man flinched a little after being yelled at, but still said, "He's so powerful, aren't you afraid of him?
If, I say if, our demands are too excessive, will it annoy him?

In that case, will we be…will we be…”

He hadn't finished his words, but the bearded man's face turned pale. Although he still looked blinded by greed, the fear in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

He finally turned his head, looked at the last person, and asked, "What do you think?"

The last person was a young woman who was dressed relatively conservatively. Although her clothes were luxurious, the fabric was a bit old, and she wrapped herself tightly.

At this moment, she was holding a book and reading it with a serious look, as if no one was around.

It was not until the bearded man asked further questions that the young woman looked up and said, “I have inquired carefully, and there are many rumors about the illegitimate child.

Young, calm, strong warrior, follower of the extraordinary strong, lucky guy, etc.

But there is no stinginess!

On the contrary, many people say he is very generous.”

"So, as long as our request is not too excessive, he should agree to it."

“The prerequisite is not to go too far, you should know this, for such a young and powerful man.

They don't mind showing mercy, but if you anger them, it won't end well!"

As if it was the final word, the other two remained silent.

After a while, the bearded man lay on a chair with a hot towel on his face.

The young man holding a razor stood behind him and started to get busy.

If Maruna were here, he would definitely recognize them. These three people are the heirs of Neely Greenman and his distant relatives.

The bearded man is named Sam Greenman, the young man is Evan Greenman, and the young woman is Mira Greenman.

They have equal inheritance rights to all the assets of Neely Greenman.
And Roy had sent Maruna to discuss the purchase of the Greenman factory with them not long ago.

……

It's approaching evening.

Several carriages set out from the Wizard Tower of the Philante School of Magic, passed through the main gate, went onto the street, and headed out of the city.

Just as they were about to leave Auckland, Mrs. Linda stopped the carriage and got on another more luxurious magic carriage.

Although Mrs. Linda was still wearing a moon-white robe today, it was obviously modified.

A corset outlines the perfect curves, and the sapphire necklace around the neck makes it even more dazzling.

Sitting opposite her was a young second-level magician.

I say young because a second-level spellcaster in his twenties is definitely young enough.

What's more, on this person's second-level robe, there is also a dazzling pentagram with three overlaps.

And in the center of the badge, there is the shape of a gear and a connecting rod.

This one is the most famous mechanical wizard in the Moonstone Wizard Tower, and also the only second-level spellcaster trained independently in the Philante Magic Academy.

The reason why the Caroline family was accepted by the powerful circle of Auckland City was because they provided a lot of financial support to him when he was studying.

This one, Douglas Hill, a second-level LV8 magician, specializes in magical machinery.

This person is definitely the number one person in the Moonstone Mage Tower, second only to the tower master. It was he who overruled all opposition and made the final decision on Lilia's project.

However, the first thing Mrs. Linda said to him was: "Douglas, the situation tonight is special, you must not make trouble!"

　I had planned to post it at 12 o'clock, but the revision was a little late, please forgive me!
