The Witcher: Synthesis of Everything

Chapter 137 The Crow-plated Curse

…

The golden city.

January 15th.

Platinum Pavilion.

Business gatherings led by the Imperial Bank, the Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, and the Imperial Imperial Family were held here.

Once every ten years, every half month.

It won't end until early February.

The gathering is not open to the public, but as one of the few grand gatherings on the continent of Padolon, most people living in the capital know about it.

And there will be many people from all over the world coming to join us.

Many foreign nobles will also join in and bring some regional specialties.

This event exceeded Lin Suo's horizons.

His most luxurious dress was no different than a rag here. The brilliance of the lights and the roar of people were simply too exaggerated.

He never knew there were so many nobles in Dandong.

There are also foreign nobles!

These guys also enjoy the protection of the royal family, but the difference is that they need to hand over a large amount of wealth every year, which is fundamentally different from Lin Suo's once-and-for-all purchase method.

But even so, there are still a large number of people who are eager to buy a title in Dandong.

The kind that can't be stopped.

This is the real top place in mainland China.

Lin Suo originally wanted to wait for Teresa's company at the door, but then he thought about it. His clothes were custom-made by Coster. The material was actually good, but the technique and style were a bit "outdated."

It looks extremely rustic.

After all, Teresa is also a member of the high elf royal family, so getting too close to her in this situation can easily cause trouble.

He didn't wait any longer and went in on his own.

It's still early for the auction.

At least we have to wait until the banquet and dance are over before we start.

…

"Look, it's Prince Charles."

"Ah, he is so handsome."

"Of course, although Prince Charles is not the crown prince, he is also a gentle and kind person."

"Would you like to go have a drink?"

"No...it can't be done."

"Sister Ginny, didn't you say that you and Prince Charles grew up together, and you love each other as brothers and sisters, so you can't even help your sisters?"

Lin Suo put down the cake in his mouth.

He leisurely looked at the scene where several noble ladies were talking.

He had an impression of these people, and the oldest one was just a fourth-year student at Golden Academy, who happened to be in the class he taught.

In the entire banquet, except for those serious people who came to discuss business, there were the most aristocratic ladies like them, gathered in twos and threes.

They didn’t even eat, they were all discussing who was handsome, or which young man’s scandals and stories had been reported recently.

Occasionally I see particularly famous ones.

For example, this Prince Charles would have the conversation just now.

There is nothing wrong with being a speaker.

At least after hanging around for so many days, Lin Suo knew less than half of the people here.

"Teacher Lai Yin!"

"Shet."

Lin Suo was agitated, he had noticed the element, and his face instantly became serious.

as expected.

Elise Jr. Griondo rushed over from nowhere and hugged Linsuo's arm.

The little red arrow tail twisted and twisted around Lin Suo's calf.

Next to him was a red-skinned man with a height of two meters.

Lin Suo couldn't help but just use witchcraft to squeeze him away.

He glanced at the strong man with some embarrassment, then turned to Elise and said.

"Classmate Elise, please pay attention to the occasion."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care."

But I care!

Succubi don't have a good reputation.

"Who is this?"

"My brother, Simon Jr. Griondo, has graduated and is currently practicing on the Island of the Dead."

"Purgatory Demon Bloodline?"

"Yes, it is."

Simon is this red-skinned strong man with two thick horns on his head. His teeth and fingernails are all clawed to varying degrees. At first glance, he looks like a ruthless man who specializes in close combat.

The style of Dandong dress is somewhat similar to a tuxedo.

Wear it on Simon, a proper thug suit.

"Teacher Rhine, thank you."

Facing the friendly exchange with the student's elder brother, Lin Suo also extended his right hand to shake his hand.

"I've heard about the famous name for a long time."

"Hahaha, didn't you expect that my reputation has spread back to Raleye?"

Lin Suo: "..."

Just to be polite, why are you shaking?

Seeing that Lin Suo seemed to have heard of him, Simon unceremoniously pulled Elise off him and threw her aside.

Ignoring my sister's extremely angry expression.

He took Lin Suo to the aristocratic secret garden - "Little Balcony"

It seems that many people like to talk in this kind of place. When the two arrived here, Elise did not follow them. She took an annoyed breath, squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.

Simon became extremely serious at this time.

"Teacher Rhine, let me tell you the truth, you'd better be careful about Elise."

Lin Suo asked in surprise.

"Why? She is just an apprentice..."

"Just because you are just an apprentice, you have to pay special attention. Otherwise... the Griondo family may have another son-in-law."

Lin Suo: "()!"

"The succubus bloodline of the Griondo family is somewhat different. It inherits the bloodline of the pure lord of the 356th layer of the abyss. Even the upper-level wizards cannot refuse the charming power of Chuye."

"Is there such a thing?"

Simon nodded.

A little helpless, but also a little proud.

"My mother, when she was a senior apprentice, fell in love with my father, who was already an eighth-ring wizard at that time.

Both of them are demon wizards, and they also came into contact with each other when they were teaching at Golden Academy, so..."

Gudong~

Lin Suo swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It is expressly prohibited by the college for teachers and students to fall in love. Unless it is certain that they will get married in the future, it is not suitable for a teacher to be a role model.

The Griondo family is also an old count family.

An upstart like Megalon has a much deeper foundation.

Elise seems to be throwing herself into someone's arms, not very smart. Once she touches her, he must be responsible.

Therefore, he kept a respectful distance from the beginning.

Not as presumptuous as Tifa.

When it comes to falling in love, it's not as good as liver proficiency. You just need a confidant who can communicate with you personally and relax your body.

"I understand, I will be wary of her."

"That's good."

Simon also breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the balcony guardrail, raised his glass and had a drink with Lin Suo.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The sudden screams made Lin Suo and Simon's expressions change. No one expected that anyone would be so bold as to cause trouble on the first day of the gathering in the business district.

Listening to movement is not a trivial matter.

The two looked at each other and quickly rushed towards the place where the chaos occurred.

Lin Suo's soul has been baptized by chaos and is more sensitive than ordinary people.

He noticed a familiar scent.

A few minutes later.

The two squeezed through the onlookers and appeared at the front. They saw a black-winged Crow Man about two meters tall, wearing a formal dress and kneeling on the spot.

Next to him was a corpse whose heart had been ripped out.

On a dining table not far away, dozens of roasted crows disguised as roasted squabs were placed on it. The rodent's eating marks indicated that it had been eaten by someone.
