Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 174 The Scarlet Courtyard
Like a pair of hugging giant arms, the high wall covered with ancient vines embraces the pointed building.The surrounding clumps of plants are pitifully small against it, but they still leave the quiet atmosphere in the hearts of Lyle and others.

The little waiter didn't speak all the way, as if his previous comical extroversion was just a disguise, like a puppet carrying out orders.Lyle and others came to the gate of the castle. The shadow of the castle shrouded the people and left a shadow in their hearts.

The sound of the wooden gate opening is like an ugly old cat sticking out its nails and scratching at your heart.

Lyle swallowed, because at this moment, it was like the beginning of a horror movie.

Then the laughter and noise from behind the door made Lyle think his idea was ridiculous.

It was a group of elegantly dressed gentlemen and ladies who were resting and laughing in the courtyard.They sat in the gazebo dotted with green vines, and the ladies covered their lips with their fingers, but from the bright and seductive eyes, it could be seen that they were quite satisfied with the humor of the gentlemen.Elegant aristocrats are dressed in conspicuous costumes, like colorful butterflies resting on the ground.

They noticed Lyle and the others who had just entered, with interest and pride in their eyes, only teasing remained in the end.They laughed wantonly, and a few even clapped their hands, as if they had just watched a comedy.

Looking around, the courtyard is full of gorgeously dressed nobles. Most of their costumes are mainly bright red, as if deliberately pleasing the taste of the Hamlet family.Pay attention to the arrogance and contempt in the eyes of Lyle and others, so none of them are willing to communicate more with the mud legs in their eyes, they are more willing to accept the goblets handed over by the waiters who are busy among the nobles , taste noble and mellow.

"That's why I don't like them. It's like putting on a good cloth and changing your race." Kevin didn't care about the eyes around him at all, and he complained to his friends without hesitation.

"And family, and glory, and wealth, and power." That's what Lyall felt, and those noble gentlemen depended on it, to support the superior self-confidence in their eyes.

"Kevin, didn't you prepare a dress, just like them, a wig, a button-up tight dress, ribbons and white tube socks." William looked at the uniform dress of the nobles, "It feels difficult to be an heir like you are. "

"I wore those things once. When I was an adult, my old man forced me to wear them and asked the hired painter to draw family portraits. After that day, I swore that before I died, I would not put myself in In anything resembling a coffin."

"As for the successor competition," Kevin tossed his blond hair, with an arrogant and humane smile on his face, "My nobility comes from within, and I don't need external decoration. My handsome and lucky It's enough."

As soon as the voice fell, there was loud applause in front of everyone.It was a middle-aged man with an exquisite mustache, black hair flattened, and a streak of gray on the sideburns. There was a smile on his mouth, but his eyes remained solemn, and there was a clean and neat temperament between his brows. If it weren't for his body Clean as new butler clothes, you can hardly tell his identity, he is more noble than those young men and women who are staring sideways.

"I'm Laura Shaffer. I'm the steward of the Hamlet family. I was appointed to handle the affairs of the castle while the duke was ill. Mr. Kevin, your letter was also delivered to you through my hand." .I am very glad that I can welcome you and your companions in person. Wonderful speech, sir, self-confidence is always the first requirement of a high-quality nobleman. I look forward to seeing you take over the future of the Hamlet family."

"Now, please move to the room we have prepared for you and your companions. We have prepared food and wine to ease the fatigue of the journey. I hope you can get used to all this, because this will most likely be your home in the future."

Butler Lola continued to introduce the great Hamlet family on the way of guidance, and praised Kevin's informality and unique style from time to time (maybe because Kevin, a strange species among the nobles, has nothing else to praise), he occasionally concealed It instills the beauty of the future, as if it is a certainty that Kevin will inherit everything from Hamlet.Lyle thought it was just a polite way of mature people, and the shrewd housekeeper probably described it to every heir.Mr. Lola is a clever person, and his flattery seems just right. Looking at Kevin's appearance, he is already a little ecstatic.

"Master Kevin, please rest well. There will always be delicious food and wine in the courtyard. At night, there will be a grand ball in the hall. Please be sure to attend with your companions. At twelve o'clock, Duke Hamlet will be in his room summons you."

"Twelve o'clock, Monsieur Lola, is it too late?"

Laura Schaffer smiled, "It's not too late here. Those young and energetic gentlemen have been partying all night for several days, and they won't rest until they want to rest."

Kevin didn't let out a breath until the butler disappeared around the corner without changing his mind. He rubbed the dimples on his face and frowned.

"What a troublesome character."

"Mr. Lola? He seems to be a very serious butler." William pushed open the door and walked in.

"Yeah, it's a bit troublesome to be serious. With such a smart person, it's easy to arouse the small thoughts of the superiors when you stay around. And it's really troublesome to pretend to be yourself when you talk to him."

"It's nice to have someone capable around you."

"No! Then I won't be able to sneak around to fish in the future. Sure enough, I prefer to make friends with idiots." Kevin said serious things.

"???" William felt something was wrong.

"Are you going to scold again?" Lyle grabbed Kevin's shoulder and squeezed hard with his fingers.

"Good brother! I was wrong! I... I'm telling the truth after drinking... No, it's duplicity, no, it's nonsense."

----------

The three people's rooms happened to be adjacent to each other, and the interior decoration and layout were the same, except for excessive luxury, there was nothing weird about it.Lyle did not relax his vigilance. He took Nia to sweep around the room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, but found nothing unusual.

"Could it be that I'm paranoid? Sheriu's diary is just his conjecture?"

Lyle sat on the soft bed, closed his eyes and meditated, and Nia hung herself from the ceiling, swinging on the candle chandelier in the center.

Lyle began to do some new creation experiments in his room, using limited flesh and blood.Even if the blood produced by the experimental waste accidentally fell on the carpet, it would not be visible, because the carpet was as red as blood.

He kept experimenting until there was a knock at the door.He got ready and opened the door.

The black figure threw him to the ground, he didn't react at all, and he didn't use the measures he prepared.

Because the figure who made the abnormal move had a familiar face on Lyle's face.

　I changed twice a day during five days and eight hours, and I changed twice a day when I was on vacation. It was really difficult to save the manuscript.
