Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 67 67. Nebbiolo Festival (3)

As soon as Nid Hogg landed, someone quickly rolled out the red carpet.

Next, golden and silver teams rushed over like a river and gathered on both sides of the red carpet.The flag of the Gervais family was interspersed with it, and because there was no wind, two flagpoles were purposely used to prop it upright.

The teacher and apprentices stood on the side of the spacecraft after disembarking, and then began a long wait.Because there was no movement for too long, the apprentices couldn't help but started whispering.

"Quiet!"

The majestic voice of Vice President Passy rang in his ears, it was she who used the sound transmission technique.

After a sudden sound of horns, the Duke of Gervais arrived late on a heavily armed horse.Behind him were two iron guards on horseback first, and then his eldest son, Leon Gervais with bright blond hair.

Leon is a well-known playboy throughout the south, and there are countless gossips about him, even Emma who lives in a small remote village occasionally hears about him.

When the Duke of Gervais jumped off his horse, there was another clamor of horns.He raised his hand, and the noise stopped.

The duke's face was very clean. Although he had entered middle age, his eyes were still full of vitality.Even at his age he was remarkably handsome.Even through the fine clothes, it can still be seen that he has a strong physique, and he doesn't seem to be simply living a life of pampering.

It smells so good... Emma tried hard to suppress the urge to sneeze.The perfume smell from the father and son was a bit too strong.The smoky and leather-based perfumes are already heavy, and they seem to have sprayed half a bottle on their bodies, even if they are outdoors, they seem so unavoidable.

Purple was the theme, running through their costumes from head to toe, even the capes of the two iron guards were purple.This is the first time Emma has seen clothes of this color, because purple dye is especially precious.

To dye clothes purple, a special substance must be taken from the glands of shells, and after long-term exposure to the sun, it will gradually turn from yellow to purple.It is said that every gram of purple dye requires hundreds or even thousands of shells to produce.

Vice President Passy led the crowd to salute the Duke of Gervais.

"Honorable dean, I welcome you here. On behalf of the city of Gervais, I will clean up the dust for you."

Although the foot is 99 islands, far away from the location of the lord's family castle, his tone seems to be that everyone is standing in front of the gate of their own castle.

"It's so beautiful, Dean, every one of your apprentices is so beautiful!"

After the meeting ceremony was over, the Duke of Gervais began to laugh, his eyes swept across the faces of the apprentices one by one.

"You will all become outstanding female sorceresses in the future, and you are welcome to work in Gervais City."

It seems that Leon's flirtatiousness has something to do with the environment he grew up in.The apprentices certainly wouldn't take this seriously, and they didn't want to serve such a frivolous Patriarch.

Seeing that Vice President Passy had no intention of exchanging greetings, Duke Gervais immediately arranged for everyone to transfer to a carriage.Beautiful double-decker carriages were inlaid with gold trim, each drawn by eight white horses.

When the carriage stopped again, everyone realized why the Duke of Gervais spoke like that.There is actually a castle on this uninhabited island, the specifications and styles are in line with the duke's status.

I don't know whether to use magic to temporarily relocate, or to directly recreate and build a castle on the island.

"Come in." The Duke waved triumphantly.

He led the way in front and led the crowd through several corridors to the hall filled with the aroma of food.

"Everyone from Wovados College has already had dinner, and friends from the other two colleges will arrive in a while. Why don't you eat first?"

Emma looked out the window, it was still bright.Perhaps this is to deliberately stagger the players to avoid meeting before the competition, and the swords are on the verge of breaking out.

Although they had a simple lunch on the road, the smell of barbecue and freshly baked bread still made everyone move their index fingers.

The college's food takes nutrition as the primary consideration, so it is naturally not as good as the delicacies prepared by the chefs in the Duke's mansion.

It was the first time for Emma to eat many dishes, such as venison with complex flavor sauce, which looks like a snack, but when cut open, it is a whole piece of beef wrapped in puff pastry, and her favorite poached pear in red wine , covered with a layer of fragrant honey.

"It would be nice to have a glass of wine, how can these things be served with plain water."

Hayward cut the beef, his mouth turned away.Of course, this can only be a few complaints, even the Duke dare not let the apprentices who are about to compete drink alcohol.

"Eat two more mouthfuls of pears to get some flavor out." Emma laughed.

During the banquet, some singers played the harp and sang.Because the voice was too low, Emma, ​​who was sitting at the end of the long hall, couldn't understand the content of the lyrics at all.

Halfway through the meal, a servant came over to deliver a message.Vice President Passy hesitated a little after hearing this, but nodded at him, and then clapped his hands. The sound transmission told everyone to put down their knives and forks, and stood up first.

"What's this for? I'm not full yet."

Hayward got up and complained to Emma in a low voice.

The next moment, a beautiful noble lady walked in quickly from the door. She was wearing a jewel-encrusted tiara. The moment she appeared, the hall lit up.

This lady's skirt is not purple, but aqua green, with gray velvet and white edges, which looks youthful and beautiful.

Without squinting, she went straight to Vice President Passy and bowed before turning around to face the crowd.

"I'm very sorry, I know you are having dinner, but I really can't wait until tomorrow, so I have to come and see you today."

Her voice was beautiful, and her tone was genuinely apologetic.Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she looked at each female apprentice, which was completely different from the Duke's scrutiny with lust, and would not make people feel uncomfortable.

"This is the lady of the Duke's family, Gina Gervais."

"It's the first time I've seen so many female sorceresses! The name of Turin College is so impressive, I've longed for it for a long time, so I begged my father to let me meet you and share desserts with you."

Gina clapped her hands, and servants entered one after another, each holding a plate of delicate cakes.

Emma has a good impression of this lady, and feels that she has a good personality.The cannibal's mouth was short, and even Hayward squeezed out a kind smile.But she kept leaning back unnaturally, as if she was avoiding something.

Gina also didn't go to sit next to Vice President Passy, ​​probably because her aura was so strong that the lady didn't dare to get close.She chose the seat next to Emma because it happened to be at the end of the long table and there were plenty of empty seats beside it.

"Hi, my name is Gina."

"Hi, Miss Gervais, my name is Emma Green."

"You look about my age. Isn't it fun to be a sorceress?"

"Miss Gervais, I'm only a second-year apprentice, not a sorceress."

Emma smiled, this lady is really familiar.Her blue eyes were dark, and for some reason Emma suddenly remembered Lawrence.

"Hey! It's you!"

Gina found Hayward hiding behind Emma, ​​pointed at her and yelled.Then she realized her gaffe, and quickly covered her mouth.

"Shh! Shut up! Gina!"

"You... know each other?"

Emma raised her eyebrows, but this was not surprising, Hayward was originally from a noble family in the south, and it was normal for ladies of similar age to know each other.

"It's more than acquaintance!" Gina lowered her voice, "She's my cousin!"
