Ember Gun

  Chapter 120 Wild Dogs

  In essence, this is a palace ball. Compared to eating, drinking, and having fun, making friends here is the highlight. The true rulers of the old Dunling will taste the wine behind the curtain, and their children, the future masters of the old Dunling, will make friends on the dance floor and meet the people who will rule the old Dunling with them in the future.

  It is a real noble world. It is difficult for ordinary people to reach that threshold even if they are fortunate enough to hear about it.

Lorenzo breathed steadily, trying his best not to make his movements too large. This evening dress should be one size smaller. He looked like he was stuffed into a sack. Maybe Lorenzo raised his arms vigorously and it would Tear this clothing to pieces like a beast.

The whole person is young under the dress of those attendants, I don’t know how old it is. The skin is white like suet, and the messy hair is neatly combed. For a moment Lorenzo even thought he could be a lover when he looked in the mirror. .

  Seleu stood beside him, holding Lorenzo's hand, but because of the difference in height, the two of them were like a father holding a daughter. The only doubt was that this father was a bit too young.

   "You look like a penguin."

   Seleuc said in a low voice, clearly speaking to Lorenzo, but she was looking straight ahead, as if talking to herself.

  The white lining under the black dress is actually the same color as the penguin.

  "Have you seen a penguin?"

  Lorenzo remembers this creature, the creature that navigators found in the southernmost part of the world.

   "There is writing in the book."

   "But I think you are more like an Adelie penguin."

   Seleuc added.

   "What's that again?"

"A kind of penguin whose behavior is very...indescribable. Usually they have difficulty in judging the danger in the water, so they will kick their companions down, if it is okay, they will swarm up, and if they are eaten by other animals, they will go away. , Find another place to launch."

  Lorenzo's old face turned black.

Turning his head to see, Seleu's dress is also very elegant, or bloated, and the thick white dress is like a blooming white rose, but from Lorenzo's point of view, Seleu is like being inserted into a giant white cake. , And now she is dragging the giant cake with difficulty, with a precious metal platter on her head.

  Thinking about it, Lorenzo couldn't help but smile a little.

   "Do you want to know what you look like to me?"

   "Thank you for being serious."

   At this moment, Yawei who followed behind him said solemnly, his expression has been upset since the beginning.

  Lorenzo is their helpless choice, but even so Yawei is still not at ease, this old butler looks at the honor of the Stuart family carefully.

  Lorenzo continued to say, giving Yawei a glance, and then brought Seleu forward.

The location of this ball is the center of Old Dunling, and the inner city where the rich and nobles live is a bit more central. A magnificent manor near the royal area, and its owner is the organizer of this ball, Sa Duke of Ricardo.

Because there are too many secrets hidden in the old Dunling, such as the mysterious cleansing mechanism, the mechanical courtyard, and the pillar of the furnace, these are not accessible to ordinary people, so they are classified to the same level as the platinum palace. The area is called the royal area and has military garrisons of royal guards.

  In the royal area near this manor is the Pillar of the Furnace, but it is precisely the ground facilities of the Pillar of the Furnace.

  At this moment, the manor is full of carriages and new-style cars. The cold winter night is also hot and dry with the feast. The air is filled with the smell of vanilla, and the eyes are full of colors.

Men and women show their charms as much as possible. The fluttering lotus skirts are like flowers in full bloom in the winter. This is a sea of ​​flowers. The scents mixed together and impacted Lorenzo’s nasal cavity. He even felt a little tolerant. I couldn't help sneezing.

There are bustling scenery everywhere, and Lorenzo is a little trembling. It’s not that he has never seen such a bustling scenery. As a former guard of the Order, the Cathedral of San Nalo guarded by Lorenzo is nothing compared to This is bad.

The huge pipe organ is like a metal creature climbing on every corner of the wall, magnificent paintings are engraved on the dome, thousands of candlelights are quietly burning in the sacred solitude, only muttering prayers and The hymn is sung by the world.

The Cathedral of St. Nalo is supposed to be the largest church in the world. It has been built since the place of the seven hills. It took more than six hundred years to be completely completed. The environment inside is as huge as a labyrinth. There are the corpses of every pope.

  On the sidelines, the supreme platinum palace of Inervig may not be enough to see, but at the moment Loren is not trying to compare anything.

The same luxury, Saint Nalo Cathedral gave him endless sacredness and faith, sitting there as if the soul has been purified, but the luxury here is full of the taste of power and wealth, everyone here is in Served in an important position, in a high position.

   "Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"

   Seleuc asked in a low voice, she could feel Lorenzo's difference.

   "What discomfort?"

  Lorenzo smiled as kindly as he could, and then faced those he didn't even know.

   "A wild dog was dragged into the spotlight...feel?"

  Seleu thought for a while and said so.

   "Although your description is really puzzling, it really means that."

  Lorenzo wanted to refute, but he couldn't find any reason. At this moment, he did feel a little uncomfortable. He usually didn't have contact with big people, but was suddenly thrown into this luxurious circle.

   "Just get used to it, I used it for a week and got used to it."

   Seleuc said faintly, she turned her head, her blue eyes looked at Lorenzo, like a clear sea.

  To be honest, Lorenzo was panicked by her for a moment, and the girl's eyes were like this, full of magic.

  But then Lorenzo heard what she meant, his expression was slightly frozen, and some did not know what expression to use.

  Essentially Seleuc is also a wild dog, a small wild dog rescued by Lorenzo from Gallunalo.

A few years ago Seleuc was also like this. A bewildered little wild dog was pushed onto Stuart’s stage. She must have been more uncomfortable than Lorenzo at that time. This is why she has a good mansion. Live, just come and find Lorenzo's reason if it's okay.

  Everyone is a wild dog. The place that makes wild dogs comfortable is not the luxurious kennel, but the muddy pool on the street. You can feel free and happy when you roll.

   "Then what shall we do next?"

  Lorenzo did not continue to talk in depth, but instead found another topic. Seleu did not ask much, and pointed to a remote seat at will.

The venue of the   prom was much larger than Lorenzo thought. The crystal lamppost was hung in the center, and the waiters came and went, with the wine just taken out of the winery in their hands.

  I have to say that the pomp of this group of nobles is really in place, and Lorenzo tries his best not to reveal his original appearance.

  Seleu didn't want to be too involved with the nobles, and chose a remote location, but from the door to that location, he was destined to pass through the crowd. Lorenzo only hoped that no one would recognize them.

Lorenzo is not a celebrity, and may be regarded as a new friend in the circle, but Seleu is different. This is the Duchess of the Stuarts a month later, behind the whole aristocratic group linked by war awards. , Whoever can please her is equivalent to having the support of the entire Stuart aristocratic group.

  If the ball for making friends is a lottery, Seleu’s favor is undoubtedly the first prize in the ball. If Lorenzo is a certain nobleman, he must use all his power to please Seleu.

   Looking down at the group of precious metals platter, now who would have thought that this first prize was here in Lorenzo? This is Ho De and how can you? And Lorenzo would have no use for this first prize, because the organs were staring at him so hard that he might arrest him for a cup of tea at night.

But the situation so far is pretty good. It may be Selenium’s low sense of existence. No one has found her after coming in for so long. This has made Lorenzo less troublesome. After all, Lorenzo is Selenium’s in the setting. The shield is responsible for rejecting all invitations.

  But at this moment, a hand suddenly blocked Lorenzo's path, and Lorenzo couldn't help but wonder, was he still discovered? But then the voice sounded, but it moved in a direction that Lorenzo had never expected.

  "Isn't this Mr. Holmes!"

  A lady with heavy make-up stopped Lorenzo's way, her voice was too sweet, and Lorenzo was in a trance.

and many more…

  Wait a minute! This development is not right, shouldn't it be that some young people with short eyes come to talk to each other, and then get rejected by their own face? What is going on now that I am being accosted, and why does she know me... Wait!

  Lorenzo looked at the familiar face of the lady and asked tentatively.

   "Mrs. Van Nasha?"

  I saw the lady's smile thicker, and said happily.

   "It's me. I didn't expect you to remember my name. Come here. It's really unexpected to see you here. All here are old friends."

Speaking of Mrs. Fan Nasha pulling Lorenzo to another place, it was a group of noble ladies, they were chatting and they didn’t know what they were talking about, when they saw Lorenzo it was like water boiling, and the voice was so loud. no.

   "It's Mr. Holmes!"

   "Come here, I haven't seen it for a long time."

   "Let me introduce to you, this is Lorenzo Holmes."

  "..."

  In a trance, Lorenzo was pulled back and forth by countless hands, and the strange scents mixed together almost suffocating.

  The restlessness here also attracted the attention of the people around. Everyone turned their attention. It seemed that they did not expect that someone would be so popular. Hearing that name, it seems that they should be new friends in the circle.

  These are a group of very alert people. They know how difficult it is to please those noble ladies. When such a person suddenly appears, they will inevitably take a look. Therefore, this remote place has become more crowded for a while.

   "I didn't expect Holmes to pack up so handsome?"

   "Mr. Holmes, what do you think of the opinion I told you before?"

   "Mr. Holmes..."

  It’s chirping, like a flock of birds screaming in your ears. Lorenzo has no **** of enjoyment. He struggled hard but was stopped by one hand after another.

  In the crowd, the neglected Seleuc slowly raised his head, and asked Lorenzo who looked at him embarrassed.

   "So you are so popular?"

  Lorenzo lowered his head fiercely, and then pulled Seleu and squeezed away from the crowd. At the same time, he did not forget to explain, but it seemed a bit embarrassing. When he said that, his facial expression was wonderful.

  "Do you still remember the name of my junior terminator?"

   Seleuc’s mouth was bulging, as if he was holding a smile. Lorenzo shook his head even more embarrassingly looking at her, and then said.

   "Come and meet, these are the ladies who entrusted me, and now what you see is the small group they formed, Saturday Housewives."

  A group of housewives who were heartbroken by men and chose to go out on Saturday night.

  These ladies embrace Lorenzo to celebrate this rare reunion.

  ...

  On the second floor of the dance party, men and women were whispering in the dark corner. Unlike the noisy hall dance floor, it was very quiet, so the girl could finally stop, look out the window, and enjoy the rare freedom.

Several men saw her and were a little uncertain at first, but when they saw the bright red hair burning like a fire, they slowly approached as if they had determined the target, and one of them voiced as much as possible. Warm, looks like a good man.

  "Excuse me, this beautiful lady..."

  The girl turned her head slowly when she heard the voice. At first, she had a look of disgust on her face, but her expression changed quickly as if she had thought of something, and then she smiled like a kind girl.

  At this time, the man's heart was overjoyed. He had long heard the girl's bad personality and planned to be rejected, but he did not expect that she would smile to himself. This was the first step to victory.

   "Can I invite you to dance a song?"

  The girl seemed to hesitate a bit, but in the end she put her hand up with a smile, feeling the softness in her hand, the man was about to scream in excitement, unexpectedly she finally became.

  The **** the other side ignored this. She tilted her head slightly and looked at the two people on the side of the corridor. They seemed to be watching the girl, and they kept approaching since just now. Then the girl took the man and walked down the stairs.

  "Do you want to dance with me?"

  On the way downstairs, the girl suddenly said to the man. The man nodded vigorously again. In his opinion, the glory and wealth are within reach.

  But at this moment, the girl pointed behind him and said, “The two people don’t seem to want me to go.”

   Hearing this, the man became fierce. It seemed to him that those who hindered him today were mortal enemies. He turned his head and saw the two men like waiters walking downstairs, so he said to the girl.

   "Don't worry, I will deal with them."

   "Then it depends on you!"

  Eve patted the man on the shoulder with a look of great responsibility, and watched him greet the two men aggressively, and then dived into the crowd with a sly laugh.

  At this moment, on the higher third floor, the man leaned against the handrail, frowning slightly as he watched the bunch of flowers crowded by the ladies.

   "Master Duke, do you need me to keep them quiet?"

  Seeing that Lord Duke looked wrong, the waiter asked.

This dance party has multiple meanings. The hall dance floor on the first floor is for entertainment, the shadow on the second floor is a place for young people to make friends and talk, and the protected third floor is these big people who really hold power. Interests will be determined here.

   "No, I just think someone there is familiar."

Duke Fix said slowly, he couldn't see the person in the center of the flower group from such a distance, but at this moment he felt a strange sense of disgust in his heart, just... he wanted to draw his gun and move towards It's like firing there.
