Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 358 The Earl’s fiery gaze
Speaking of which, this should be Ji Ming's first formal participation in a noble dinner.

That time in Sunshine City, he did bring food and drinks, and he was right to eat old Sola ruthlessly.

But there are also ups and downs among insects. This group of monkey-like guys can't even understand the buffet. All the delicious food has been emptied by someone, and they can't replenish the goods in a long time, so they can only make do.

This time at Jueqiaoguan, it was indeed a lot more professional and formal. There were multiple places where you could get food, and there were waiters waiting on you throughout the process.

But before Ji Ming even finished the polite part, he encountered a series of troubles. The cook was also a human being, and he had already left the table after solving the problem.

He could only go back to the Guest House alone to dig out bread from his backpack and eat it. It was quite sad that he had accompanied his boss to a high-end restaurant to socialize, and finally went home with a belly full of wine to make instant noodles.

Therefore, under the influence of the simple concept of "no matter how hard it is, it can't hurt the belly", he is still looking forward to the delicacies he can eat tonight.

——It’s finally my turn to be the leader. Everyone is toasting me some hammer wine. Let’s fill our stomachs first. Eat!
The chef of the Kazekage family did not disappoint him. Although the amount of dishes was still the usual pitiful amount, under the transformation of a certain senior savior, the number of dishes was doubled, and the proportion of meat dishes was greatly increased.

After seeing that Eleanor was suffering from psychological trauma and only dared to eat the dry food she brought with her, and now looking at the food in front of her and wanting to eat it but still not daring to eat it, Ji Ming very considerately took a bottle of Rejuvenation for family sharing. Four generations.

"How can a guest only eat the host's food? It's just right. This is my favorite work as a pharmacist. It has been developed to the fourth generation."

For a qualified aristocrat to learn how to manage personal IP, iconic things must be emphasized repeatedly. This principle was taught to him by Eleanor, so what follows is a skilled advertisement.

"It's very good for the body. It can be used as medicine when you are injured. It tastes silky, sweet but not greasy. It is also good as a drink to accompany meals on weekdays. The elderly and children love to drink it."

After that, as the bottle cap was unscrewed, Ji Ming scooped out a little with a clean spoon and shook it on the decorative candlestick nearby. In an instant, the sweet fragrance overflowed and emptied all the scent on the dining table.

Adults may be able to tolerate this kind of thing with determination, but most children are unlikely to refuse it, so Ji Ming plans to use the young master of the Earl's family as an entry point, and then...

???

Is it possible that this kid is one of the legendary few?
While everyone at the dinner table was paying attention, the youngest son of the earl was still slowly eating the small barbecue on the plate, looking like an NPC in the game in a calm and unhurried manner.

It wasn't until the mother beside him frowned slightly and touched him with her elbow that she raised her head blankly and smiled politely at the air like a reflex.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Ji Ming could only quickly build a step for everyone to get off.

"Haha, your son seems to be a very well-educated person. Ordinary children can't sit still in such an occasion. No wonder the Kazekage family has been able to last for hundreds of years. This is evident from this alone."

Everyone also quickly went down the steps.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The Chosen God took the initiative to take out his own magical potion, and the Earl also made a gesture, asking the maid to replace this round of dinner wine with the Fourth Generation of Rejuvenation.

Coincidentally, the rejuvenating liquid is also a dark and clear red, so even if the liquid in the goblet is changed, it will not look out of place, and it even has the effect of being hung on the wall when shaken.

In order to repay Ji Ming's high emotional intelligence, the earl swung the liquid and praised it as if he were actually drinking. After tasting it, he raised his glass.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to have such a good meal tonight, so let's toast to the joyful gathering tonight!"

After taking a sip of the rejuvenating liquid, the rawness on the scene disappeared. While Ji Ming put down the cup with a smile, he calmly began to observe again.

Although the archbishop is also weird in nature, he is a weird person blessed by the Holy Light God, and he can be regarded as a member of the Zhengri Banner of the Old Holy Mountain.

Therefore, the effect of taking the rejuvenating liquid was just like Eleanor beside her, with a reddish complexion and radiant face, and she wanted to grab a pair of bottles from the maid and blow on her.

The reaction of the countess and the young master was normal. After drinking it with a somewhat stiff posture, they smiled and nodded at Ji Ming. The kid brother also said thank you very sensibly.

But the Count himself felt a little abnormal this time. He took a sip of the medicine into his throat as if he had drunk something. He twisted his face and covered his mouth. After adjusting for a while, he returned to his normal state.

"Ahem, sorry, I haven't had anything so sweet for a long time. It's just a matter of my personal taste..."

Everyone: "I understand."

And with the support of the fourth generation of rejuvenation, Eleanor, who thought she had the toxin immunity buff, also relaxed a little, and finally had a normal meal after many days.

Therefore, this meal is still quite hearty. It may not be possible for the wine to be dry in the glass, but it is definitely dry when the dishes are on the plate.

The banquet progressed gradually, and the meals became more and more sumptuous in the harmonious atmosphere. It was a great time for the guests and the host.

Just a little bit.

This is Tenis, the Archbishop of the Holy Light Church, the leader of the ascetic succubi, a talented two-foot cloth designer, and a perfect scorer in MILF.

This is Eleanor, a princess with a bright future, the daughter of a long singer, and a destined princess. Although her physique and emotional intelligence are as poor, her soft rice is definitely delicious.

This is the countess. There is nothing to say. She is a minor character. It is enough to know that she is the earl's wife and they have a son together.

Everyone likes to see good-looking things and socialize with capable people. This is human nature and is also the premise of the next argument.

Therefore, Ji Ming understands that Earl Changge, as a male noble with normal aesthetics and a large family to raise, would pay attention to any of the above three people.

So……

Why are you looking at me like your wife? ?
Yes, it was clear that the earl and his wife were chatting lively with the master and apprentice Tenis Eleanor, but his eyes would slip to Ji Ming from time to time.

And they don't care about talking about anything else. The most difficult thing is that the main topic at present is recalling the romantic love story of the count and his wife.

Ji Ming could only endure the weird atmosphere again, and listened quietly while continuing to clear the meat in front of him.

For nobles, marriage is not so much about finding a good match for themselves as it is about finding a "good match" for the family.

Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, as the old man's designated heir, Lange should marry a daughter who is also an earl and may even be a marquis to consolidate the family's position in the central and southern part of the kingdom.

Lange: I don’t!

That's right, Lange, who has always been quite "observant of the rules", actually secretly fell in love with a girl who didn't know where she came from, but was definitely a commoner.

After stalling for time until the old man who was resolutely opposed was beaten to death, he rejected the fiancée who had been negotiated by the family and firmly married his current wife.

For ordinary people, this is a story of deep love and righteousness. For nobles...it's none of my business, but I hope that the heirs of the opposite family will commit this kind of stupidity (folded hands).

Although Lange's passionate love has caused losses to many of the Fengying family's already negotiated interests and businesses, this is their choice, so the guests can only wish them well.

"Thank you, maybe because I heard too many objections. I was really moved when I heard these words." Okay, I was also moved, so can you stop pretending to wipe your tears and look at me quietly! ?

Ji Ming recalled the antique vases and various oil paintings he saw along the way, and after confirming that Count Fengying's family should not be short of money, he ruled out the option of eating and drinking because he felt sorry for himself.

So what is wrong with this count?
Although I know that being charming is my destiny, is it possible that the atmosphere of the kingdom is really so distorted that the nobles couldn't wait to get involved in flower activities after they got tired of enjoying the wealthy life?

It seems that the doors and windows must be locked tonight, and you must not talk to the count in private in the future, otherwise it will be really dangerous.

……

That’s not right. If that were to happen, wouldn’t it conflict with Hui Guang’s affectionate character in the end?
This is not a 10 o'clock TV series with a family theme. There shouldn't be twin alter egos popping up.

Although Tenis and Eleanor hadn't noticed it yet, when another piece of ribs disappeared, Ji Ming already felt a mountain of questions in his heart.

The matter has reached this point, and there is only one possibility to solve it, and that is to take the initiative.

"Well, I'm sorry, I have some personal matters, please allow me to leave the table temporarily."

That’s right, it’s Urine Escape again!
Under the guidance of the waiter, Ji Ming quickly found a nearby bathroom. After politely expressing his gratitude with a smile, he got out of the window and landed silently in the grass below.

Of course, being able to do all this is not because he is familiar with "Assassin's Creed", but because he has mastered the use of Black Crown.

If you want to use it to activate the second form, you need to wear it on your head, but there is no clear rule on which head it should be, so your fingers are also acceptable.

As long as you put the black crown in your pocket, you can activate the beholder alchemist form anytime and anywhere by touching it, which is even more refreshing than the transformation in the drama.

Relying on the cover of psychic magic, Ji Ming quickly sneaked through the night, swaggered through the city in front of the patrolling guards, and arrived at a small courtyard behind the manor.

After climbing over the wall and entering, Ji Ming couldn't help but shudder, because the smell here was very familiar to him. It was Christine's smell.

——In other words, the strong smell of horse.

This is the count's stables, not only the count's property, but their mounts and carriages are also parked here.

However, Ji Minghui came here quietly not for them, but for the middle-aged man sitting not far away, washing the horses.

Hearing a slight cough from his back, the man shook his head hard and slowly turned back. Then he grabbed the pitchfork beside him and stood up quickly, questioning.

"伱...who are you!?"

Of course, Ji Ming couldn't show his true face to others, so he changed into a classic man in black halfway through, took out a card from his arms and threw it away.

"One of our own."

With the groom's vigilance, he would normally not accept such a thing, but after noticing the familiar scent, he quickly reached out his hand.

Things can deceive people, but this special smell cannot! He immediately knelt down and saluted while holding the card.

"Sir, the young one is a leaf-level messenger, codenamed Fu Di Cai!"

Now that Ji Ming has counter-infiltrated the leader of the regional organization, Viper, it's just a matter of effort to get a valuable identity card.

As the gatekeeper of the kingdom's southern hills, it was only natural that there would be spies from the green organization in Feng Ying's lair.

However, according to the four-level division of flowers, trees, leaves and grass, the person who was arranged to be stationed here was actually a second-level envoy. It seemed that Feng Ying's status in the eyes of Shen Lin was really not low.

As for why Uncle Fudi Cai is not like his Viper Sister, there is a spiritual beauty in every move and every move...

Not everyone can have the high professional bonuses of God's Will + Beholder Bloodline + Angel Magic like Ji Ming. Deep brainwashing is very difficult.

It would be nice if this kind of consumables gave a little hint of suicide. Anyway, even if you sell this bit of information, it is not worth a lot of money.

As the special envoy of the Viper, Ji Ming naturally asked Fuchicai about the situation of the Kazekage family.

Naturally, the groom knew everything and enthusiastically handed over to Ji Ming the topographic map that he had spent many years drawing, as well as the patrol schedule for the recent period that he had secretly obtained.

"Okay, okay, the organization will not forget your efforts!"

Ji Ming took the card back, praised him like a real leader inspecting him, and left the stable with the information he wanted.

Haha, that’s it…

As the saying goes, when a mantis stalks a cicada, the oriole stalks behind it. Who would have thought that a cicada like himself could secretly become the live father of the oriole, spinning around and watching the mantis in action?

Thinking clearly, Ji Ming quickly returned to the toilet, adjusted his clothes and prepared to play with the praying mantis after the meeting. However, when he opened the door, he saw the leaf covering the praying mantis.

"Oh, why is Mr. Earl here? Do you want to be convenient?"

When the count heard this, his face trembled, his beard wriggled, and he showed a standard aristocratic smile.

"Haha, Lord God's Chosen is joking. I just heard that you have a wide range of interests. I just want to ask you something."

"Then please speak."

"Uh……"

Being choked by Ji Ming's sudden words, Count Fengying seemed even more hesitant. He was down for a few seconds before making a gesture of invitation.

"Well, the matter is actually quite complicated. Let's not talk here. Please, I have prepared coffee in the office. Let's talk slowly there."

No, I secretly swore just now that I will never talk to you in private. You will do this to me, right?
Ji Ming could only quickly point to where he came from.

"Earl, when I went out, my master specifically asked me to discuss anything with the archbishop. Why don't we wait for a while..."

"That's gone."

"what?"

　Today is 520, o'clock in the evening, stick to the writer's assistant, be pure of heart, and clock in!
