Mystery: Paradox Path

Saturday, May 14, 1350.

It is rare that Snow, who did not wear an Intis style suit, but chose Loen's tuxedo, sat on an unpretentious carriage. In the West District, such a carriage without a family crest would have to give way to anyone who met him on the road. This not-so-long journey turned out to be a little difficult.

Although it is not difficult for him to buy a piece of land and become a territorial noble with his current family background, considering the situation that the country is about to encounter war, he still chooses to wait for a while - even if he is not short of money, he does not He doesn't like to waste, and he prefers to use the money to buy more grain than to spend on land that is about to depreciate. It's the same in any country.

Seeing Snow leaning in front of the car window bored, Illian, the personal "male" servant, finally found an opportunity. At this time, he was a red-haired young man with a typical Intis appearance, with soft features and handsome eyebrows, but he was not. Makes people misunderstand his gender.

"You owe me a servant's salary!" Illian whispered his appeal, and Snow just raised the corners of his mouth slightly:

"No problem. For the few days you played the servant, I will pay you the salary of the servant."

Illian's expression froze suddenly, and then said angrily: "This is a part-time job, you can't deduct my original salary just because I did an extra job!"

"Then do you want me to even pay you the salary of the dormitory maid?" Snow rolled his eyes, and Illian immediately shrank his neck and stopped worrying about this issue.

She has absolutely no doubts about Snow's mouth, after all, this is a guy who can even swallow a cat!

But Elaine closed her mouth, but someone was about to speak—

"Stupid maid wants to give birth to cubs for the master?"

"I won't!" Elaine stared at Lily who was lying on Snow's shoulder. Although she didn't quite understand how the cat switched back and forth between humans and cats, she immediately refuted the other party's explicit remarks. .

"Oh, that's good... I'm still worried that you are so stupid and can't raise a cub..." Lily wagged her tail, put her head on her hind legs again, and shrunk gracefully into a ball. Think of her as a shoulder pendant.

"Don't be a bastard, Maria should have taught you how to speak, right?" Snow looked at Irian's aggrieved look, and scratched Lily's chin a little funny. Lily narrowed her eyes and enjoyed Snow. stroking, and then said in a very disgusting voice:

"So why do you think I like to be a cat! Talking is so troublesome!"

After speaking, Lily buried her head in her waist, looking like I was a hairball.

Snow couldn't help but smile and shook his head slightly.

...

After giving way many times, Snow's carriage finally arrived at its present destination - the House of MP Macht at 39 Berklund Street.

In fact, Snow was quite surprised by this invitation, because the wife of Senator Macht was not his client. In other words, the one who invited him this time was probably not Ms. Liana, but the real master here. , Maury Macht.

"I don't know what this gentleman is looking for from me." Snow slightly adjusted Lily's standing position, and then got off the carriage. Illian immediately picked up the gift and followed, and followed closely with the same pace. back.

As a frequent visitor to this kind of high-society dance party, Snow's control of the time is extremely precise. The time of arrival is only one minute and twelve seconds later than the start time on the invitation. If necessary,

He can arrive on time, but according to the habit of Luen's banquet, he would rather be a little late than early.

However, it was only one minute late, which undoubtedly belonged to the earlier group among all the guests. When Snow entered the door, the ballroom was obviously still empty.

Seeing Snow's arrival, Senator Murray Macht, wearing an olive green army uniform, an orange-red sash and several medals, immediately greeted him with his wife, which was different from Snow's usual reception only for women The situation was different, but it also convinced him that this time it was not a routine job.

Snow, who realized this, did not observe Madam Liana's dress, but took the wine from the Hermeler Manor from Irian and handed it to the Macht Councillor——

"Sorry, I seem to be a few minutes late."

"It's okay, the dance hasn't officially started yet." Senator Macht glanced at the wine in his hand, and a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, which made Snow a little strange.

Hemelel Manor is not a famous winery like Lafite or Bordeaux in the previous life, but a mid-range brand from East Chester. The reason why Snow chose this bottle of wine was just a bottle of Ruen's social etiquette (the first time he delivered domestic red wine) - after all, he doesn't like drinking red wine very much, and the wine in his wine cellar is basically sent by customers.

But at this time, what does this congressman's expression really mean when he sees the red wine?

Is there another meaning to the Hemeler red wine?

But there is nothing in the knowledge that the former social terrorist left him!

Snow, who couldn't understand it for a while, didn't say anything. He said hello to Mrs. Liana according to the normal social process, but it seemed to avoid suspicion. The lady didn't show her right hand, and Snow didn't either. Performing the kissing ceremony, just nodded normally, and praised:

"Your light brightens the whole ball."

"The same is true for your arrival." Mrs. Liana smiled slightly embarrassedly, which made Snow more and more convinced that today's invitation did not seem to be simple.

"It can't be a blind date for Hazel, right? In other words, no one should go on a blind date with a 'notorious' person like me, right? Or, I plan to find a private enlightenment teacher for her daughter... I heard that because of Some aristocratic families on the Tees side will have such courses, is this trend already worn to Loen?"

A strange idea popped into Snow's mind, but then he shook his head, and according to the etiquette left by his predecessor, he walked into the hall where the melodious melody was already sounding with the doubts in his heart.

"I didn't introduce their daughter to me. Well, it doesn't seem to be a matter of blind date. Could it be that Macht is a royal faction and learned about my relationship with Enthusiasm from some sources?" It's possible, but this kind of thing is obviously not suitable for immediate inquiry. Watching Congressman Macht leave again to greet the other guests, Snow casually walked around the hall and greeted a few familiar ladies.

Then, a girl in a long sky blue dress suddenly stood in front of him.

"You are Snow von Penradax?"
