On the carriage ride back, Lacey leaned on the armrest on the side of the carriage sofa and supported her cheek with her hands. She was a little sleepy, not physically tired, but mentally tired. It was as if she had been nervously chatting with others online for 5 hours.
As for the thrilling competition, she doesn't want to think about anything now, she just wants to go back and have a good sleep.
She closed her eyes, rested for a while, and regained her energy before slowly recalling the scene just now. This Adeley was particularly annoying to her.
The country in her previous life had a long toasting culture. Even she who didn't drink much knew that in psychology, this was actually a kind of obedience test. If I toast you, you must drink it all to show your obedience. In this world
Although they don't have the same customs, Adeley's behavior just now was actually a kind of temptation.
As soon as he entered the scene, he made the first comment. His words seemed to be joking, but they greatly aroused the emotions of the girls. Then he quickly dropped it, saying that he was just joking. As soon as he said it, the girls' emotions were like a roller coaster.
Generally stimulate it, and then quickly focus on yourself.
The subsequent quarrel between him and Feng Na was noisy on the surface, but it quickly broke the strangeness of the first meeting, and naturally revealed his emotions and personality, lowering the two people's vigilance when meeting for the first time.
Then there was another sincere conversation, revealing that he and Angus were familiar with each other, which provided the motivation for the next words of proactive help, which seemed less abrupt. And a person who had a playboy image at the beginning suddenly became so solemn, and looked back and forth.
The contrast gives people a sense of sincerity that a prodigal son will never be replaced by gold, which makes it easier to impress people.
Finally, after Lacey thanked you, he toasted again, following the simple idea of repaying gratitude between people. The person opposite promised to do you a big favor and toasted you a glass of wine. You should drink the wine in return because of the emotion and reason.
Drinks. This is an unconscious and spontaneous behavior. If you don’t drink, it will appear very deliberate, indicating that you are very wary. If you only drink part of it, it means that you are more cautious and do not trust everything.
Lacey naturally understood the intention, so she drank it all, pretending that she was not wary, and believed in the promise of Master Adeley in front of her.
Slowly recalling everything that happened at the banquet, Lacey had to sigh. Adeley is really a master of love. With his emotional intelligence, there is no need to get into such a quarrel with Feng Nao. This is most likely something he did on purpose. If he tried his best
Taking action, Lacey suspected that the innocent Fengano would be captured by her in less than three days.
As for Meilu, although she talked a lot at the banquet, it was basically common scene talk. She actually never really expressed her stance from the beginning to the end.
Feng Nao is very innocent, Adeli has plans for Lacey or Carites, Mei Lu is like a fog, and Fenton is focused on new wine, focusing on making money, and is not interested in anything else. This is what happened after Lacey's banquet
summary.
----------------------------------
While Lacey was slowly reminiscing on the carriage, Adeley also returned to the study at home.
"How is it? Is Miss Lacey of the Carites family pretty?" A young man slightly taller than Adeley brought a cup of hangover soup. He was Wick, the adopted son of the Tisiphone family, and he was Adeley's half.
A brother.
"Wick, let me tell you, you will really regret it if you don't go. Miss Lacey is the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life."
"Oh? Is she more beautiful than the angel saint in the sanctuary?" Wick smiled, and then sat down opposite Adeley.
"Indeed, I really want to marry her." Adeley did not hide the desire in his eyes.
"You can't be serious, you have obviously decided to unite with Anemi before, Fengano is also very good."
"You don't understand. Feng Na is indeed stunning in the world, but Miss Lacey, I'm afraid I missed it this time. It will probably take thousands of years for the next time such a beautiful person is born in the world."
"Okay, Adeley, we really can't joke. We have arranged everything. The union with Anemii is also a certainty. Now is not the time to regret it."
"I know that Kalites must be knocked down or subdued so that Hopeland can be dominated by us and the organization's plan can proceed smoothly."
"Yes, Adeley, we Tisiphone have already invested too much in it, and now we can't turn back. I hope you won't be deceived by beauty." Wick looked at Adeley solemnly.
"You don't need to remind me, I understand." Adeley leaned on the sofa and rubbed his brow.
"But I will apply with the organization and obtain the ownership of the girl after victory." His voice was slow, but it revealed some determination.
After a moment of silence, Adeley asked again.
"How are the Helles doing?"
"They have been keeping a low profile recently and haven't made any big moves."
"Really? I always feel that they may have discovered something, but they just didn't say anything."
"So what if they find some traces? As long as they can't produce definite evidence for the time being, they can't do anything to us. After a while, everything will become a foregone conclusion. They can't move even if they want to, and the wheels of time will eventually run over everything.
, there is no telling whether there will be a Helis family in the future."
Wick spoke in a low voice, and there seemed to be some kind of fanatical ideal in his eyes under the candlelight.

After returning home, two days later, news of the battlefield in the north of West Wind spread throughout Verga, and people were panicked for a while.
West Wind is the central hub of the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua. If there is civil strife, many road trade routes will be cut off, and sea routes have become a safe choice that will not be affected. For a time, the Kalites family received several times the order.
There are also many shipping entrustments.
It just so happened that at this time, the three major fleets of the Carites Chamber of Commerce, "Swordfish", "Trade Wind" and "White Bird", were all summoned back. In the Jingyue Strait outside Hopeland, there were huge white sails.
More than two hundred ships, large and small, were parked neatly on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
For a time, the momentum of the Carites family reached its peak in Hopeland. Various invitations followed, and large chambers of commerce in other parts of Verga also traveled thousands of miles to send various greetings and gifts.
Hope to get along well with him.
As the peace was broken, safe sea routes became an inevitable choice. The demand for both merchant ships and warships increased day by day, and Carites became the target of everyone's attention.
And when Loland Hill was worried about how to deal with so many orders, commissions, and invitations, the country of Lurna also sent a team of alchemists to Hopeland to contact Carites, with the purpose of coming
Discuss an important cooperation project, namely the design and construction of steel battleships.
