Black retro car drives by on the spacious road of North Muse.
The sunshine at three o'clock is no longer so dazzling, and has become lazy and gentle. The round and shiny surface of the car body reflects orange spots, like a shadow.
jingle bell...
The passing carriages rang their bells, and the sound broke into the back seats through the open windows.
Gilan is wearing a black high-collar coat, lined with dark red embroidered silk, and the fabric is extremely noble and silky. Underneath it is a white shirt, a silver-gray twill tie and a suit vest. He also wears a black short-brimmed velvet hat with a deep luster.
This set of high-end clothing cost Gilan 12 Gold Caesar 10 Pfennig.
On the right, Miss Sparrow is also wearing new clothes.
She wore a beige hat with a veil. She wore an orange pleated mutton-sleeved dress with a high collar and flying edges. The long sleeves of the basque covered her burned skin, and there was a red three-layer lace shawl on the outside.
This set of clothing is more expensive than the one worn by Gilan, worth 15 Caesar.
Gilan is looking down at a business card in his hand.
This was given to him by old Charles, who was said to be a black marketeer through secret channels, from whom he got the projector and video recorder.
It reads:
"Bondo·Rio, Tel: 666-144."
"Correspondence address: South Muse, Corona Street, No. 74."
There is also a handwritten code on the back of the business card. "Big Goose."
Gilan thought to himself that after today's dinner party is over, maybe he can take the time to meet this black market merchant in person, and maybe he can buy Mercury Battery from him.
Although I still have a piece left in me, it is not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day.
"Snow... Mr. Gilan, I'm a little nervous."
At this time, Miss Sparrow beside him spoke softly.
Gilan turned around and saw her hands wearing lace gloves holding the hem of her skirt.
"Don't worry, it's just a normal family dinner."
He said softly.
"We'll leave after eating."
Miss Sparrow hummed, and then said, "I didn't expect that, Mr. Gilan, you are a bloodline of the Earl family..."
Her voice decreased and became inaudible.
As a young lady from a wealthy family, she had an inexplicable awe of the nobility. Now that she lost everything and faced Gilan, she instinctively felt a sense of inferiority.
"Back then, I was just a low-class kid from the slums and didn't understand anything. You didn't look at me through colored glasses."
Gilan noticed her depression and turned around.
"Miss Aurora, true friends will not be separated by so-called status, right?"
Miss Sparrow was startled and turned to look at him.
The eyes that had lost their eyebrows and eyelashes were shining with light.
"No matter how the environment changes, I am still me and you are still you."
Gilan smiled.
Miss Sparrow also laughed.
Not long after.
The car drove into a slightly narrow path, and large areas of smooth lawn began to appear on both sides, as well as tall oaks, maples and redbuds.
Single-family villas of different styles and noble styles are located deep in the divided lawn.
When the car reaches the end of the trail.
Toot.
Old Charles pressed the horn lightly.
In the middle of the row of carved fences, a huge wrought iron fence gate more than ten meters wide and four to five meters high was opened by two male servants wearing black and white uniforms.
The two then put their hands behind their backs and lowered their heads.
The car drove straight into the Earl's Manor.
After walking a few hundred meters further along the garden path, we stopped in front of a huge villa.
Old Charles turned off the engine and got out of the car, and opened the doors on both sides of the back seat for Gilan and Miss Sparrow.
"Young Master, Miss Aurora." Old Charles raised his hand and pointed to the cobblestone path facing left in front of the main entrance of the villa. "Master Ramon and his wife are having afternoon tea in the back garden. It is summer and the college is on vacation. The other four young masters and ladies are back and are also playing leisurely in the back garden."
"Please come with me."
Old Charles said, straightening his tie, holding his head high and leading the way.
Gilan patted Miss Sparrow on the shoulder, and then took a step forward. The latter took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to follow, and stayed close to his side.
The three of them walked through the colorful garden, took twists and turns from the cobblestone path, and arrived at an open lawn.
Two middle-aged nobles, a man and a woman, were sitting under an umbrella, drinking coffee and chatting.
The middle-aged man has short blond hair, 37-year-old hair, a mustache, and is wearing a shirt and vest made of tan silk fabric. The lady has her hair tied up, wears elegant makeup, wears a graceful topband, and wears a low-cut classic dress.
On the grass not far ahead of them.
Two tall and handsome young men with blond hair were holding wooden canes and engaging in a fierce fight. The shadows of the sticks were densely covered, and the sound of swishing through the air was constant.
Duh!
Crack!!
The two canes kept clashing, making crisp sounds.
At the same time, the two of them kept changing positions, stepping, dodging, and taking action, all in one go and smoothly.
Although there was sweat on their foreheads, their expressions were relaxed and freehand, with smiles on their lips.
Outside the arena where the staff competition was taking place, there were two graceful girls. One was in a pink floral dress, the other was in a white dress. Each was holding a small lace umbrella, and they were watching the battle silently.
Gilan glanced casually and roughly confirmed the identities of these people.
Most of the people who were fighting against each other on the court were his two younger brothers, Prince Farhan and Joann Farhan.
Judging from their skills and physiques alone, both of them are already at the level of Instructor level fighters. Considering that they are less than twenty years old, they can be called geniuses.
But Gilan just glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
"Sir, madam."
Old Charles strode under the parasol, bent down and whispered a few words, then raised a hand to evacuate the man and woman who were walking slowly behind him.
The middle-aged man and the lady turned their heads when they heard this.
Gilan See it clearly.
The man was startled for a moment, then revealed a nostalgic smile.
The lady was also smiling, but her eyes were distant.
"Gilan!"
Ramon·Farhan suddenly stood up from his chair and came forward to greet him.
He looked up and down first, then smiled and patted Gilan on the shoulder, saying a few words of goodwill.
"It'll be great if I can come back safely!" Ramon said with emotion. "Brac is five or six thousand kilometers away from Muse City. There has been a war there recently, which really worries me."
He shook his head.
"Luckily you're safe, kid."
Gilan looked at the man in front of him and knew that he was his father.
But he had no experience of father's love in his previous life, plus he was abandoned in this life, and had no contact with his biological father for twenty years, so he remained silent.
Lady Xenia Farhan also came over at this time, stood beside Ramon, and smiled at Gilan:
"Your father has always missed you, and now he finally gets his wish."
She said, glanced at the girl behind Gilan, and said:
"This is your lover Aurora Laurie?"
Without waiting for Miss Sparrow to explain, the noble lady went to herself and waved to her.
"Come on, girl, the gentlemen have a lot to say, so let's not disturb them."
Miss Sparrow turned to look at Gilan, seemingly asking.
"Go." Gilan nodded.
She then hummed, lifted up her skirt obediently, and walked to Xenia. The lady took her wrist affectionately and led her towards her two daughters.
At this time, Ramon also smiled and put his arm around Gilan's shoulders, letting him sit under the umbrella, followed closely by old Charles.
"Prince! Joann!"
Ramon shouted and waved.
"Come here quickly and meet your brother!"
