Medieval Aurora: The Rise of the Dragon

Chapter 26 Talk
The blue skirt stepped into the door before its owner. Lin Qi turned his head, only feeling a gust of fragrant wind blowing towards his face, and then saw Veronica's smiling face.

Today, Mrs. Pereira from Nur obviously prepared her makeup meticulously. Her long brown hair was smoothly tied behind her head and tied into a noble knot, and then poured down her back to her waist. The sky blue dress outlined There are two dangerous curves up and down. If Lin Qi guessed correctly, the style of this dress was the one that Ms. Evelyn had been thinking about.

Fair and tender skin, and those shy eyes full of surprise and reproach.

"I knew it, you would definitely come." A hug that was barely tasted, Veronica grabbed the handkerchief in her hand helplessly, eagerly looking for Lin Qi's gaze, and then looked over.

A trace of embarrassment climbed up her double face.

"How can you, how can you at this time." She folded her hands on her chest to distance herself.Lin Qi coughed twice, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked:
"Ma'am, it's time for you to tell me why." Lin Qi put away his joking look, and his expression gradually became serious.

Veronica turned around and sat on the sofa near the left side of the fireplace with her skirt lifted.

"Someone in the Aesthetic Society has already fallen," she said faintly, "Just after I came to Olengrad, I found that the people who came with me seemed to be like" She couldn't seem to find the right words when she said this, hesitated

"It seems to have become strangers wearing the same appearance. In Marienburg, we would gather together to hold some salons or banquets, discuss music, poetry, paintings, or the latest fashion, but now Here they don't talk about the art they once cherished at all.

The topic of their private communication gradually changed from normal art to twisted, and they even discussed whether using the baby's blood to make more vivid colors.

There are also people who have completely fallen into the morbid vulgar pleasure. Among them, there was a painter who was famous in the empire. He was a sincere gentleman who loved his family in Marienburg. Sleeping in the bed of different women, every woman he played with would be covered in bruises the next day like a living dead, and he had looked at me with that disgusting, viscous gaze before. "

A series of memories made Veronica's face turn pale, she took a breath and continued:
"I don't know when it started. I feel like my life is being watched. It seems that there is a sight spying on me all the time. It was in the box on the second floor at the banquet that day. I felt it."

Lin Qi walked from the bookcase to her side. It seemed that the warm fireplace had an effect, and Veronica's tense spirit became slightly relieved.

"Then I think, you must have guessed something, right? Have you ever doubted a certain name?"

"Would you believe me? In fact, they... started to become weird after attending that Ke Wen's private party. I didn't attend that party due to physical reasons, and since then.
That's right, Mr. Emil von Kowen, the owner of the Marienburg mansion, who has a good relationship with you. "

Although she was no longer trembling, Veronica still said the name as if she had exhausted her strength. She looked at Lin Qi's face worriedly, as if she was afraid of even the slightest hesitation.

"I understand." Lin Qi said without hesitation, "After escorting Emir back to Marienburg, I will figure it out."

When Veronica heard that Lin Qi would also go to the city that she thought was dangerous, her uneasy expression immediately became a little frightened, and she grabbed Lin Qi's hand regardless of her appearance.

"You will protect me, right. You will not abandon me. She said that you are a reliable person. I feel that everyone around me seems to be peeping at me with malicious eyes."

"Of course, no one said that I couldn't take a second order if I took one order. When we escorted Emil von Kewen back to Marienburg, there happened to be a beautiful lady with us. No one would think that Anything wrong." Lin Qi finally decided to take this lady along with him, and the president of the Erengrad branch of the Aesthetic Society must have connections with her in Marienburg, the headquarters of the Aesthetic Society.

I really need a more convenient identity to cover up my purpose.

The door was gently pushed open, and the person who walked in was obviously taken aback when he saw that there were already two guests sitting on the sofa. He glanced at his pocket watch and found that he had indeed arrived as usual. I have never met anyone who came earlier than myself.Turning his gaze, he finally found the hands of the two holding hands, and the expressions on his faces became richer.

Following the gaze of the visitor, Lin Qi realized that his left hand was still being held by Veronica.

"Perhaps Mrs. Pereira will be willing to introduce this new friend to me."

A middle-aged gentleman walked into the room. Lin Qi seemed to see the shadow of the earth clothes in his decent black suit. He took off his bowler hat first after entering the room, and did not rush to put it on. Hanging, but lightly clasping it on his belly, as if waiting for the opening of the first comer.

"This is Mr. Lin Qi from Zhendan. He is very interested in our costumes and art, so Mr. Emil invited him to our salon today." Veronica let go of her hand calmly, It seemed that she had turned back into that noble countess the moment the others appeared. "And as you can see, I have a very close personal relationship with Mr. Lin."

Then, she turned her head and said to Lin Qi, "This is Mr. Varda Baines, a master painter from Marienburg. His works are regarded as the standard by the nobles of the empire. I heard Mr. Varda's "Northern Land" It is still housed in the emperor's study."

Lin Qi stared at Varda, an artist from Marienburg who was well-known throughout the empire.

"So it's Mr. Emil's friend," Varda gave a graceful salute, and thoughtfully didn't mention the two people's intimate behavior just now, then hung the hat in his hand on the shelf, and he came forward and asked softly Said: "Will I disturb you two if I sit here?"

Lin Qi turned sideways, giving way to the right side of the fireplace, and Wald buried himself in the sofa.

"A warm fire can always soothe the daily hard work. I'm sorry, I'm used to sitting near the fire. A warm fire can always bring people more inspiration." Wald's unhandsome face naturally said Show a pleasant smile.

After a period of embarrassing silence, the three of them began to discuss the topic of clothing decoration. Lin Qi was able to talk eloquently in such a scene by relying on the information he had inadvertently obtained while surfing the Internet for many years.

The guests came one after another, and people continued to participate in the discussion. Orientals were mentioned several times as new faces.
