Fashen live room

Chapter 287

Defoe was less than 40 years old.

For the common people, this age is almost old age, but for the great nobles like them, this is their prime of life, full of energy.

Especially Defoe is a knight.

Although limited by his talent and status as the city lord, he was unable to devote too much energy to knight training, but now he is also a silver knight, and he is much more energetic than ordinary people of the same age, but now The Douala City Lord, who was always full of energy and enthusiasm on weekdays, was sitting quietly in front of the desk with a gloomy face at the moment.

The dim setting sun came in from the window behind him, covering him all over, but covering his face in the shadows, looking against the light, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, except for the two spots in his eyes The stars are faintly visible.

Suddenly, the door of the study room rang, and with Defoe's deep voice "Come in", the door of the study room opened, and an old man with the appearance of a housekeeper with a head of white hair pushed open the door, stood still, and gracefully slightly Bowed, and then said softly: "Dinner is ready, Lord Marquis."

Defoe, whose face was in the dark, stared at the old butler who had watched him grow up, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Is the wine ready?"

The old butler nodded slightly, "It's ready. According to your order, they are all produced in Rockefeller Estate in 1832."

Defoe asked again: "What about people?"

The old butler replied calmly: "My lord Cleveland has already taken his seat, and several other lords are already present, and the three lords, Gilrod, Hayes and Ingmar, will arrange They dined in a nearby room, accompanied by Lord Aubrey's personal knight."

Defoe listened silently, and everything was well arranged—the old butler had always been safe in handling affairs, which made him feel at ease, so he entrusted such matters to him to preside over them.

After listening to the old butler, Defoe asked again: "Where is Aubrey?"

The old butler said: "According to your instructions, Lord Aubrey and his family set off for Xu Lao Manor, and they have left the city now."

Defoe just listened quietly.

He felt that he was thinking too much. With his current arrangement, how could something happen?But Defoe's character is cautious, so he finally found an excuse to send Aubrey to Xu Lao Manor. Anyway, there is no loss. Let the Aubrey family go out to relax, after all, recently During this time, the gossip in the castle not only disturbed Defoe, but Aubrey was also greatly affected.

Defoe sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. It took a long time before he finally said: "Okay." Then he stood up from the back of the study and went downstairs with the old housekeeper.

The main dining room of the castle is on the first floor. Like many nobles, it has a large space. There are several dining tables. The main dining table in the middle is the longest. At first glance, it is no problem to accommodate dozens of people at the same time.

When Defoe arrived, there were already many people sitting at the dining table. Among them, the man with purple eyes was the first in the row to the right of the main seat. He was the main target of Defoe’s dinner party, Cleveland knight.

Except for Cleveland, all the people present were of strong build. Each had thicker arms than the other, and most of the people's arms were thicker than the little girl's thighs. Only Cleveland was the most handsome. delicate.

In fact, Cleveland's figure can't be said to be thin, he is a healthy and normal person, but it looks slender among these knights who specialize in the body, but none of the knights present dared to show him a provocative look Come on, on the contrary, when these knights occasionally looked here and saw this gentleman sitting quietly, their eyes flashed with fear.

Some of them have been beaten by Cleveland in person, and some have heard of the knight's name-it is said that this gentleman may be a great knight!
While the knights were waiting, Defoe finally arrived.

After the city lord entered the restaurant, he had already smiled without saying a word as he walked over from a distance, with a bright smile on his face, which made people want to get close to him.

When he came to the main seat, the knights present stood up and lined up on both sides of the table in two rows. Defoe stood on the main seat, looked at the people present, and spoke with emotion.

"Gentlemen, I am very glad that we can gather here tonight. The reason why I invite you to this dinner today is to take this opportunity to thank you for your contribution to Douala. If it is not for your bravery Fighting and working tirelessly, Douala will not have such a stable situation today, it is you who drove away those rogue bandits..."

As a city lord who has been in this position for more than ten years, Defoe still has a lot of nonsense, one set after another, all of which are bloodthirsty, but they are very effective. Compared with the knights who generally have low IQs, their blood boils gradually, and they feel that their life value has been reflected-for these knights who don't worry about food and clothing, what they pursue has extended to the spiritual level.

However, there are still a few people present whose faces haven't changed much. One is Cleveland. This guy has a wooden face from the beginning to the end, as if he doesn't have any expressions, and there are a few people who just joined to the knight in the castle.

After farting a lot, Defoe finally came to an end. He called everyone to sit down, and then came the popular dining session.

Under Defoe's signal, the kitchen servants who had already prepared pushed up dishes one by one, gradually filling up the long dining table.

Because there were too many people, the old butler no longer served the dishes in the order of the nobles' private dinners, but directly adopted the method of serving large banquets, so the dishes on the table were dazzling and rich, from meat to Everything from vegetables to soups is lacking, and the dishes are all exquisite. With such a large demand for dishes, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level.

With Defoe's order, dinner finally began.

Many of these knights are colleagues and are familiar with each other. There is no obstacle to the conversation. After a while, the restaurant became lively, and voices were everywhere.

But near the main seat, it was quite deserted.

Cleveland said very little, and spent most of his time quietly eating his meal.

Defoe is a talkative person, and his behavior is very ordinary. He is not enthusiastic about Cleveland, but he is never indifferent. He often raises his glass to invite a drink while eating.

But his heart is not peaceful.

In fact, during the meal, Defoe glanced at Cleveland intentionally or unintentionally several times, and there was an impulse in his heart to say some suggestive words-this is probably a similar The feeling of traveling at night in Yijin.

But in the end, he still didn't suppress his own thoughts of death: Cleveland is not a simple-minded knight. A knight with his strength cannot be simple-minded. If you fail to steal chickens and lose a handful of rice, that's not good.

So in the end, Defoe ate the dinner as usual, and when everyone had already drank a lot, and some knights who didn’t drink very well even had their faces slightly flushed, Defoe got up because he drank too much. To the toilet.

This gentleman had been holding back very well just now, and he didn't show any signs of weakness, but when he was about to leave the restaurant, he couldn't hold back his thoughts for a long time, and couldn't help but look back at Cleveland.

The emotions contained in this glance are very complicated, such as ridicule, hatred, fear, joy, etc., there are many kinds and mixed flavors.But fortunately, Defoe's temperament is still cautious after all, so he just took a look at it, then turned his head away and left the restaurant.

As soon as he left the restaurant, Defoe suddenly quickened his pace, hurried upstairs, turned and turned again, and after walking for a long time, he came to the door of a room.

This is a room on the fourth floor, and the surrounding is heavily guarded. After entering the room, you can see that there are also knights guarding it.

The room is well furnished. Bookcases, sofas, etc. are expensive items at first glance. There is a wooden floor on the floor, and a layer of soft blankets on it, covering the entire room where one can stand.And in the room, besides these knights, there is a woman, Defoe's wife Regina, and there is another thing, that is, a light screen like a mirror is suspended in the air in the center of the room, It was as big as a half-length mirror, and the scene inside was the dining room. Regina was staring at the light screen on the sofa.

After seeing Defoe coming in, Regina suddenly turned her gaze, and asked out loud almost instantly: "What do you want to do to him!"

Defoe looked at his wife with complicated eyes, and in the end he didn't say anything. He just walked to Regina and sat down, also staring at the light screen.

But not long after Defoe sat down, the scene in the light screen changed.

It can be seen that several knights at the end of the table had a quarrel for some unknown reason.Soon, the dispute spread to the entire dining table, and the entire restaurant was in chaos. These well-developed knights even ignored that this was the city lord's mansion, and pushed and shoved on the spot.

The dispute got out of hand, so the big guys stopped eating dinner, the whole restaurant was in a mess, and some people even started fighting.

The turmoil came and went quickly, and the turmoil stopped after a while, but the situation in the restaurant changed: originally, the big guys were divided into two rows and sat on both sides of the dining table, but in the inexplicable turmoil just now, the dining table They were all dismantled by these well-developed knights, food and drink were spilled all over the place, and now the knights who were originally divided into two rows roughly formed a circle, and the center of the circle was Cleveland.

This gentleman who may be a great knight is still sitting on a chair, quietly watching his former colleagues surround him, his face has not changed in the slightest, but his movements are a bit strange: his hands seem to have weak muscles The same, naturally hanging down by the side.

This is actually the reason why he is sitting, not because he wants to pretend, but because he can't move.

Defoe arranged all this, so he naturally saw this immediately, which made him feel at ease—a knight, if his body can't move, no matter how capable he is, he can only let others Butchered.

It is not in vain that he paid such a high price to get this potion, it is really powerful.

I just don't know if this Cleveland is really a great knight, will this potion have any disadvantages for him?Could it be that he is pretending to be like this now?

Although the Master Potion Master swore that this thing is also effective for the Great Knight, but the Great Knight's name is too famous after all, which always makes Defoe feel insecure, which is why he has to hire a lot of people to help the reason.

"What did you do to him!?"

Regina also seemed to see that something was wrong with Cleveland, her expression became anxious all of a sudden, she scolded Defoe loudly, she even leaned slightly, as if she was going to pounce on him if she said something wrong.

In Defoe's eyes, this made his eyes full of jealousy and hatred.

Then he gave an order, and a knight next to him immediately came up and pushed Regina back to sit on the sofa.

The lady of the castellan is just an ordinary person. Although she is struggling now, she can't get any flowers under the hands of a knight. She can only stare at Defoe with angry eyes. When people saw it, they would never have thought that these two were actually husband and wife.

This made Defoe's eyes flash with a touch of deep sadness, and then he turned his head away immediately, no longer looking at his wife, focusing his eyes on the light screen in front of him, staring at the person sitting on it, his eyes There is a storm in the calm, and no one knows the inner thoughts.

In fact, Defoe was not extremely angry at his wife for adultery with Cleveland, and this was not the reason that brought him to where he is today. The reason why he arranged today's grand banquet is entirely because of the two people having an affair It has been stolen to the extent that everyone knows it.

If the two were just having an affair secretly and only he knew about it, then considering Cleveland's superb martial arts skills, as long as Cleveland's loyalty to him is confirmed, Defoe will probably turn a blind eye One eye, after all, among nobles, cheating is not a rare thing.But the incident between these two people has already spread to the entire castle, so what else can he do?
Defoe couldn't think of anything else to do.

……

Norman, who was watching, saw all this in his eyes.

He didn't think he was a good person in the strict sense, but compared with Adrian, he felt that he was pretty good.

So many things happened to Adrian later, obviously he didn't fall here. Judging from all the signs, the result should be that Adrian killed those who wanted to kill him.

Someone rescued him and took him in to recuperate in the castle. He not only used his wife, but also killed his whole family. This is really...

This made Norman feel that others called him a saint really rightly.

But he knew right away that he still thought too well of Adrian.
