Chapter 2672: Party at Earl Collins's Manor

"Beas is the chosen one, Danister, as a teacher, you can't just care about his studies."

"Yes, how about I ask him not to attend the wedding with the girls for a while, and let him stay tonight to read with me? We can sit on the sofa together and cuddle up to talk about the stories in the book, or we can hold hands and go to the woods to practice magic under the moon."

Denister Gustav said this deliberately, and then he saw his friend showing an angry expression.

The family that held a wedding during the Moon Dance Festival with great fanfare, which even interested Prince William, is the Collins family, the real noble family in the city of Vesta.

The banquet that Shade and Miss Winslet attended before the Moon Dance Festival last week was held by Earl Collins, and the Collins family is also the most powerful family in the local area since the era of Creekwood Town.

In 1802, Mr. Ogg, the elder of the hermits, said that the sheriff, the mayor, the chairman of the lumberjacks' association, and the bishop of the local church were the four pillars of the town, and the Collins family served as the local mayor for many years. Even in modern times, even if the family gradually disappeared from the stage, the current mayor of Vista City is still a relative of the Collins family.

As for the one who got married this time, it was the second son of the Collins family. And the one who married Mr. Collins Jr. was not a local girl, but the youngest daughter of Earl Gother, a friend of Earl Collins in Willendal.

Therefore, in addition to local nobles, many relatives of the woman from Willendal attended the wedding. According to Miss Winslet, the Earl Gother family and the royal family are also distant relatives:

"Earl Gother is one of the few powerful earls now, and he even has a fiefdom. He is a big man in Willendal."

The Collins family's wedding was not held in the city, but in the old house of the Collins family in the north of the city. Similar to the Bennet family, it was also the house of the Collins family that had been passed down since the Creekwood era. It was said that every generation of boys from the Collins family had married there, so the family's old house was well maintained.

Shad, Iluna, Miss Winslet and Miss Bell set out from the hotel at 5:30 in the evening, and when they arrived at Collins Manor in the north of the city, it was completely dark.

Collins Manor was not in the city, but on the edge of the city, but it was connected to the city by a road, and there were family farms, forests, a small cemetery and nearby villages nearby, so it was not remote.

When Shad saw the manor from afar from the window, the lights had already lit up the usually deserted Collins old house. Even if he hadn't arrived yet, Shad could feel the excitement of the scene.

"This is probably the last large open-air banquet held locally before next spring."

The witch in the carriage sighed, and Iluna asked Shad:

"Do you remember the last autumn banquet we attended in Tobesk last autumn?"

Shad nodded with a smile:

"Of course I remember, Princess Mona Cavendish and Mr. Randolph Asberg held their wedding at Lakeview Manor. At that time, Margaret, I mean Princess Margaret of the Southland, happened to visit Tobesk and also attended the wedding. I remember it was very, very lively."

At that time, not only them, Shad also met Sir Prisha, the chosen one of "Knowledge and Wisdom", and met Miss Pav, the vice president of the "Truth Society", in the Rhodes card game at the wedding.

Of course, now the lady who firmly believes that "mathematics is omnipotent" is already the president of the Truth Society.

"If you expect the banquet later according to that level of wedding, you will probably be disappointed. Compared with Tobesk, this place can only be regarded as a country."

The witch said on the side, still thinking about how Miss Sylvia followed Margaret when she visited Tobesk last year, and then thought of how Carina asked Shade to avoid the young space witch at that time.

"It doesn't matter, I have also attended a country wedding."

This refers to the wedding that I attended in order to find the demon Stone Osenfurt during the Randall Valley incident, but there are not many interesting memories of that wedding.

Although Vista City cannot be compared with Tobesk City, the couple who got married this time were two young men and women from the earl family, so calling it a "country wedding" is actually a bit discriminatory.

The red carpet was laid from the front of the manor house to the door of the manor, and the butlers and servants responsible for welcoming guests at the door stood in two rows.

In the courtyard of the manor, white wooden tables were placed in rows along the central axis of the manor. The candlesticks on the tables and the various gas lamps in the courtyard illuminated the rich food and gold and silver utensils on the tables.

Even every tree and every flower bush in the courtyard was decorated with ribbons, and the fountain in the center of the courtyard where the knight rode and raised his sword was hung with garlands and ribbons.

It was a little late when the four of them arrived, and most of the guests who came to attend the wedding had already arrived. As a relatively important guest, Miss Winslet temporarily separated from Shade and Iluna after entering the manor. She needed to take Miss Bell to say hello to the Earl and today's newlyweds.

??????????.??????

"I have been wanting to say today that the air in this city is really good."

Iluna and Shade, holding Shade's arm and wearing long indigo dresses, stood at the long table in the courtyard and said. The two of them had also given gifts when they entered just now, but they were prepared by Miss Winslet, and they didn't know what the gifts were.

"This is a city in the woods after all, and there aren't many steam factories in Vista City."

Shade took a cupcake from the table and handed it to Iluna. This is a new dessert that has only become popular in southern countries in the past ten years. Shade just noticed that Iluna has been looking here curiously.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if there are more steam factories. I don't hate the smell of Tobesk. Although it's choking, it's also a symbol of the city's development."

Iluna stood next to Shade, watching him tear open the cupcakes, and then did the same herself:

"And the good thing about big cities is that the church has quite a lot of manpower. Although it is more likely to have problems because of the dense population, with the Thirteen Rings guarding it all year round, you don't have to worry about big troubles that can't be handled. That one over there is William Ann. Ru?"

She had also met Prince Liang of the Southern Kingdom when she was in the Randall Valley, so she recognized him. Shade looked up and saw William Anjou talking to an old gentleman he had never seen before, under the long string of sheds with desserts on the right side of the mansion.

The prince specially changed into a low-key red dress today, and not everyone had seen him, so he didn't have to worry about being seen while standing in a remote location.

"Yes. See that officer walking up to him? That one in uniform, that's York Bronte."

"Understood~"

While Iluna was eating the cake in small bites against Shade, she used the witch's eye shadow effect to cover her left eye, which had temporarily returned to brown. She was not using her ability to stop time, but was trying to observe.

Shade did not urge him, but after both of them had eaten their respective cakes and Shade brought two more glasses of champagne, Iluna said:

"I saw some very cruel scenes. He seemed to have eaten a deer in the surrounding woods not long ago. If this is the Dead Apostle you talked about in the afternoon, this kind of thing is indeed cruel."

"Can you really see the past?"

Shade was very surprised, but Iluna shook her head:

"I haven't found a pattern for this ability, but it seems to work better on people who are defined as 'imbalanced'. And I not only saw what he just did, I also saw it"

She frowned slightly as if she had encountered some difficulty:

"This man doesn't have any trace of death on his body, which is definitely not normal. Even you and me, because we live in this world, will have more or less traces of death on our bodies, but he doesn't. Especially since he just It is impossible to end a life without leaving the breath of death.”

"Hold on."

Shade took out an acorn from his pocket, ate it, and then activated the induction again:

"Yes, he still does not belong to this point in time. Based on the current intelligence, John Bronte has a high probability of permanently avoiding death by traveling through time."

"This kind of person should not exist in this world. His existence itself disrupts the balance of the world."

The eighteen-year-old girl took the wine glass from Shade and touched it lightly with him. Then she moved her eyes away from York Bronte in the distance and turned to look at Shade:

"Xia De, I happened to be here today on leave. Why don't we go kill him now."

Shade tried his best to hold back his laughter. It was so interesting to see Iluna's expression at this time:

"We definitely can't let him go. His life form is wrong. But not now. First of all, we haven't figured out what happened to him. Secondly, Dead Apostles can't be killed casually. I'm waiting for something. Lethal Weapon."

"Oh well."

Iluna gently shook the wine glass in her hand:

"Then what should we do now? Just stand here and wait for Miss Winslet and the others to come back?"

"Let's just walk around and observe if York Bronte does anything strange. I'm curious about what form his time curse will take."

The faces of both of them have been disguised to a certain extent. Although they still look like northerners, they are not very attractive. Although Shade wanted to observe York Brontë, he just wanted to keep him out of their sight.

The two of them then not only casually looked at the scenery in the manor at night, but also sat down and listened to the soothing serenade played by the band on the side of the manor house. York Bronte stood by William Anjou's side all the time, talking with the prince to several local nobles who looked very old.
