Chapter 442 First Meeting (4000 words)

Night.

In the center of Farsail, brightly lit by the Marquis of Elmore’s grand orange-leaf castle.

In the banquet hall of splendorous and majestic, well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, familiar or unfamiliar, have gathered in groups of three or four with wine glasses.

Although the banquet has not yet officially started, all the guests have already expressed themselves on this high-level social stage.

“Sir Melville, the cotton on your farm should be picking season soon. How’s the sales this year? Are you ready to ship it back home?”

“Ah! It’s Mr. Cork, many thanks for your concern. Don’t worry about the sales this year, the wise Marquis has already ordered all my harvests, hahaha”

“Congratulations, congratulations!”

Convened by the most distinguished Marquis Yuanfan and his wife in this land, the guests of this banquet are of course not simple. It is mainly composed of senior officials in the territory, big businessmen, partners, representatives of the navy, famous scholars, artists and their families.

The quality of the guests at the conference is very high, maybe they can make important contacts or facilitate a big business with just a few words. No one is willing to give up this rare opportunity.

Even Alwin is unavoidable in this situation. Even if he doesn’t take the initiative to talk to others, just sitting there quietly is like a bright light in the dark.

“Hahaha, Your Excellency General, you are really busy, long time no see.”

I saw a chubby middle-aged gentleman coming to him and sitting in the banquet hall Alwin in one corner smiled and stood up to greet him.

“Director Necardo, long time no see! I’m on official business at this time, and you’ve been working hard on the affairs of the trading company.”

A well-dressed general uniform is socializing The occasion is the most high-end dress, even if you enter and leave the Imperial Family banquet of the highest standard, there will be no rudeness. Coupled with the gorgeous command knife around his waist, the handsome and majestic young general can’t help but be heartbroken.

The attendant Hawkins, who was behind him, also stood up to greet him. Recently, Alwin did not appear in the preparations for the establishment of the Mercury United Trading Company, but Hawkins, who was the agent, was already very familiar with the representative of the East Lunch Company.

As for Lieutenant Colonel Milan, who came with Alwin, he didn’t know where he went with his Apsuya Princess.

Negado red light across the whole face, obviously this time is going well:

“You don’t have to worry about the company, I and Major Hawkins are watching. How can I make you suffer?

Your Excellency General is a major event person. I have already heard Your Excellency the Marquis. If you didn’t act in time, I still don’t know what the chaos in the kingdom’s major colonies has been like. .

All the residents living in the kingdom colonies, even all the pioneers and natives should thank you!”

Today, Alwin and Taylor have cooperated to find the special medicine【Ruropein】 after half a month.

In the colony of Phalatis, the turmoil caused by the black wizards of the “Poison Epidemic School” has been completely controlled by the special medicine they developed.

All patients, including the Wendart tribe, the backbone of the Hurons, have also recovered and follow-up steps have been taken to ensure no recurrence.

Along with the foreign export project of the Kingdom of Phalatis, there is also a hard and powerful product.

Only the advance payment paid by other forces and countries has made the Mercury United Trading Company, which has already started the trial operation and is in charge of the matter, a big profit. This is represented by the third largest shareholder. Of course Necardo knew it too.

In the beginning.

Alwin didn’t have to sit back and watch other forces, especially Cyrus’ unfortunate idea, but the continued raging of the germs has made the residents around the golden sea to the point where they can’t talk about it.

As a result, the losses in the foreign trade business of the colonies are increasing every day, and even the “unfunded business” in the hands of Alwin as a pillar industry cannot be spared. Rather, shipping is the first to suffer in this turmoil. one of the affected industries.

And then even the pirates are about to drink the northwesterly to live.

And the long border line compared to the number of colonists could not stop the attack of [Cyst Servant]. As long as there is a monster breakthrough border controlled by the “cyst fungus”, Pharretis will not be able to restore the previous order with peace of mind.

So why don’t you take advantage of someone’s backyard fire to fiercely make a fortune!

Besides, unlike the relatively narrow use of [Ruritin], the [Penicillin] that I am cooperating with Taylor is a cash cow that is not just in name only, but also in reality.

In the long history of medical development of Bluestar in the past life, human beings have invented countless kinds of medicines, which are continuously updated to help mankind defeat the evil disease.

However, there is a medicine from start to finish medicine with undiminished efficacy, it is the Spirit Pill magic medicine【Penicillin】to kill germs.

This kind of medicine has broad-spectrum antibacterial function, less side effects, and it is not easy to make bacteria resistant to drugs, so it has been regarded as “divine medicine” since its birth.

Especially on brutal battlefields where trauma dominates.

After each battle, countless wounded died due to wound infection and suppuration, resulting in more indirect casualties than direct casualties.

If this kind of “divine medicine” exists in the hands of military doctors, it will definitely be able to profoundly change this situation.

For Alwin, being famous in the history of medicine is secondary. After all, he has already fallen once in the treatment of scurvy. Real gold and white silver that can be transformed into power are the most real ones. .

Having watched a lot of spy movies, he was really impressed with penicillin, which is equivalent to the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker.

Maybe in the future, the pharmaceutical industry will be the most profitable business in Alwin’s hands, and it may be faster than the speed of robbery by pirates.

It just so happens that Taylor, an official wizard of the medical profession, joins under his command. In many cases, he only needs to provide his own ideas, and this experienced medical academician with strong hands-on ability can turn it into reality.

Especially after gaining some knowledge of the “Poison Epidemic School” from the captured magic bag, the production technology being designed, such as [Super Engineering Bacteria], is even more advanced than the modern pharmaceutical industry. Ahead.

But these things are not easy to tell others, Alwin just smiled a little at Necardo’s compliment:

“It’s your duty, don’t dare to live up to the Queen Your Majesty’s. Trust.”

As rare acquaintances, the two chatted for a while, and the banquet officially started.

As the host, Marquis Yuanfan walked to the middle of the lobby of splendorous and majestic and addressed the guests:

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Orange Castle. “

In fact, the theme of today’s banquet is to celebrate the victory over this epidemic and the official establishment of Mercury United Trading Company.

Alwin is the largest shareholder alongside the Marquis, but Alwin, who holds several positions, is not suitable to stand directly on the surface, so the Marquis Yuanfan is just a plenipotentiary representative.

Even so, after the Marquis’ speech, the guests turned their attention to Alwin.

Although there is no such famous saying in this world that “a good fighter has no great power”, the truth is the same. Compared with pulling strongly against a crazy tide when the situation deteriorated to an unmanageable level, the realm that stifled a major crisis in the bud is more than two or three floors higher.

Yuanfan collar is the tentacle of the kingdom breaking into the golden sea. At this time, what kind of tragedy is happening along the coast of this Sea Territory, how could they, who are the upper-level figures in the territory, not know?

So after the official start of the banquet, Alwin’s side had a tendency to turn into a vortex immediately.

Alwin was even more surprised that most of the people who flocked to him were young women from various families.

“Your Majesty, can you tell us your story at sea?”

“Your Majesty, the opening dance later is Master Ravel’s “Waves” “Lero Dance”, are you honored to invite you to dance with you?”

“Your Majesty.”

What are they thinking at a glance? The scene of killing people like scything flax, His Excellency General, was also at a loss for a while.

Until the arrival of another girl who seemed to condense all the brilliance in the banquet.

Da..da..da..

The girl in a luxurious ice blue evening dress and her feet on crystal high heels lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs from the second floor of the banquet hall . The dazzling brilliance is like a spring fairy who descends into the world, and it is like the cold moonlight in the sky, which is beyond sight.

Her appearance made the lively banquet hall seem to be quiet for a moment.

As the only daughter of the Marquis, Olivia, as it should be by rights, was to attend in person. However, in the expectation of countless noble children, the pearl in the palm of this marquis family went straight to the direction of Alwin.

The group of Yingyingyanyan surrounding Alwin has spread out very consciously, leaving space for the two of them.

The young guests, both men and women, were obviously going to be overshadowed by both of them.

Alwin saw an unexpectedly simple dress, a beautiful girl who was the exact opposite of Miss Moonstone in Spirit World. Lady Li, because of her height, she slightly raised her eyebrows and lightly opened her pink lips:

“First meeting, Your Excellency General, I’m Olivia Elmore.”

“First time meeting, I’m Alwin Garriott, hello Miss Olivia!”

Even though he was mentally prepared before attending the banquet, Alwin’s heartbeat was a little faster.

Even if Olivia simply wore earrings, necklaces, and sparkling gemstone hairpins in accordance with social etiquette. However, the well-kept black and long hair, the strands of blue silk hanging down from the forehead, and the powder cheeks like fine snow, clearly painted a delicate light makeup for himself.

Alwin is not alone in taking this “first” meeting seriously?

Under the girl’s long eyelashes, the sapphire-like eyes seemed to have Star River shining.

“Your Excellency General, I toast to you, thank you for everything you have done for the leading people of Yuanfan.”

Holding a glass of white wine, slender jade held the foot of the glass with her hand. , fingers straight, showing the graceful curve of the hand.

“Miss Olivia is very polite, it’s my duty. In fact, it is the common credit of my colleagues who worked hard with me!”

It seems to mean something, and it seems to be simple He was polite, but after hearing his words, the pink lips of the girl on the opposite side twitched slightly.

Ding!

The two cups collide with a crisp sound.

For the first time in the material world, the keen senses felt the faint fragrance of Olivia, but Alwin’s throat was a little dry, and he couldn’t help drinking the wine in his hand.

Out of courtesy, although Olivia had to come, she didn’t chat a few words, and just stayed in the normal social etiquette category. She knew very well how sharp Alwin was, and the more he said, the more wrong he was.

She has no intention of revealing her identity until she finds out the secret.

Therefore, the girl floated gently like a beautiful cloud, and floated back to the sky without stopping in the world.

After she left, the voices in the banquet hall seemed to be a little higher.

Alwin was thoughtful as he watched the back of the other party leave.

Miss “Moonstone”‘s chin appears to be more slender, indicating that she has a strong personality, is good at action, and has strong self-esteem, while the real Olivia’s facial lines are much softer, which is the so-called soft outside and firm inside ?

How could it be possible to leave such a weak spot after covering up the appearance in Spirit World? If it weren’t for other clues, Alwin couldn’t imagine they were the same person.

‘As for my appearance in Spirit World is the same as in material world, is it because I am as good as I am and the same on the outside? ‘

After Olivia left, Milan pulled Apsuya in a lady’s evening dress to Alwin’s side. Looking at his side face strangely, he asked:

“Is it hot in the banquet hall? Why is your face so red?”

Theoretical old drivers are all creatures It’s a paper tiger, a strong mouth king, but in reality, it is broken with a single poke. As soon as Olivia left, she couldn’t hold back.

Alwin gave him a sideways glance and tugged at the corners of his mouth:

“full of energy! Also, can you wipe the lip print off your chin first?”

“Huh?”

Not waiting for the two to start bickering, Alwin saw the gentle and beautiful Marchioness Nymph quietly leaning over, and hurriedly shut up.

“Your Excellency General participated in the social banquet of Orange Leaf Castle for the first time, and everyone is paying attention to you. Don’t see outsiders here, just treat it as your own home.”

“Thank you for your concern, Madam! It’s very good here, everyone is very enthusiastic.”

“By the way, among all the lovely ladies just now, is there a type you like? I’m a famous matchmaker. .”

The marquise emerald-like sparkle within both eyes implied anticipation.

“Uh”

Waiting for Alwin to really understand her intentions.

A feeling of being enthusiastic about Aunt from the neighborhood committee arises spontaneously, despite her appearance and figure Dumped Aunt million miles apart, but also left Alwin powerless.

Then came a series of questions: family situation, amateur hobby, love history, and most importantly, she also asked about her annual income!

And Alwin was obediently and honestly answering all her questions.

When he finally watched the other party leave, his beautiful eyes were slightly shining, and Alwin shivered uncontrollably, feeling that his situation seemed a little bad.
