As expected, Jon's new work immediately set off a fantasy trend in Backlund as soon as it was serialized.
Even 'west of the river, east of the river' has become a buzzword of the season.
People.
I like to follow the trend the most.
This is especially true among nobles.
When you attend a dinner party or a salon, what do you think of 'Frame Shaw' and what do you think of 'Miss Blue'?
What?
do not know.
Hurry up and watch "The Fire of Courage Will Burn the Sky", you idiot!
As the original author, Jon has unsurprisingly become a popular figure in the aristocratic circles.
It would definitely be a honorable thing to invite this well-known writer to someone's literary salon or weekend dinner.
Derek Syndras, the youngest son of Baron Syndras, also thinks so.
At ten o'clock in the morning, he appeared at Jon's manor on time.
"Jon, my friend, it's so nice to see you again!"
Derek Sindras and Jon were of the same age, and he had no airs. When he saw Jon, he immediately opened his arms and gave him a big hug in a very un-Loen-like manner.
Jon smiled and said: "Derek, I'm very happy too."
Derek Sindras is considered one of his best friends in Backlund. Many of his profitable businesses are entrusted to this young master.
Because although the Sindelas family only has the title of Baron, Derek's father, Baron Sindelas himself, is the most famous banker and business owner in the Loen Kingdom, and is hailed by the political circles as the 'Pocket Bag of the Conservative Party' '...
"Jon, you must come to the banquet I'm hosting tonight." Derek said as he took out an invitation from his pocket.
The invitations are embroidered with gold and silver and are extremely luxurious. If you sell them alone, they are estimated to fetch around 100 pounds.
"You?" Jon picked up the teacup and looked at Derek, "When did you have the right to hold banquets at home?"
Generally, small fights are held in annexes or manors outside the city, not at home.
Unless there is something big that needs to be announced.
Derek chuckled, "Tonight is my engagement party."
Hearing this, Jon couldn't help but said: "I didn't hear you say last time that you were going to get engaged just how long after I left?"
"Aristocrats, you know." Derek spread his hands, "It's just an exchange of interests. Marriage doesn't matter. From now on, everyone will have their own thing."
Your circle is too chaotic for me to comment on.
Jon nodded and said: "I will go there on time and prepare a big gift for you."
"That would be great." Derek looked very happy.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he blinked at Jon and said, "There are many beautiful ladies attending the banquet tonight.
Moreover, 'Backlund's most dazzling gem' will also participate. You also met Miss Audrey at the literary salon last time, right?
She is truly an angel."
Audrey Hall, the most beautiful noble lady, the dream lover of countless young men and rich young men.
But it's a pity that Earl Hall is not easy to deal with.
So so far, Miss Audrey's marriage has not been decided, and she doesn't even have a scandal target.
Derek looked at Jon, who looked very talented, and smiled: "Jon, I think you have a good chance. Miss Audrey is said to like talented people the most. Be smart and try to win her over."
"I'm not a noble." Jon shrugged, "I'm not worthy of anyone else."
"Nothing is a noble. With your wealth, you can definitely buy a noble status. As for your wealth... Even if you work hard for ten lifetimes, you won't be able to match the Hall family's wealth. It's better to relax and accept it calmly." Derek thought more and more.
The more interesting it becomes.
He really thinks Audrey Hall and Jon Josteden are right for each other.
"I said, you should put your mind on other things." Jon seemed not to want to continue on this topic.
Derek did not force it and stood up to leave, "In short, your charm is enough to win the heart of any lady or lady. I have always thought so... Okay, I'm leaving. The banquet will be held at eight o'clock tonight, but you can
Arrive early, after all, you and I are not outsiders."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Jon shook his head.
Derek Syndras is considered a rare 'good person' among the noble sons of the Kingdom of Loen.
However, it is still not honest enough.
only……
Audrey Hall?
Jon thought for a while and asked the butler to sell a new deck of tarot cards.
When netizens meet offline, they must always be prepared.
…
…
Time flies.
Night falls.
Audrey, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stepped out of the carriage.
Stayed in place for a while.
Derek Syndras immediately came forward and said, "Miss Hall, your beauty makes the stars dim tonight."
Audrey smiled reservedly, "Mr. Sindras, congratulations, Difenna is a good girl, don't let her down."
Derek's expression remained unchanged, "This is natural."
No matter what, you have to put in enough effort.
Audrey was keenly aware of Derek Syndras's micro-expression, but still said nothing. Carrying her handbag, she walked into the Syndras manor amid many envious eyes.
Today is the engagement party for the youngest son of the Syndras family, and Baron Sindras is naturally present.
He is a thin, clean-shaven gentleman with no beard, a square nose, a round face, and clear wrinkles.
Audrey only looked at it for a moment and then cautiously withdrew her gaze.
She is an unmarried lady, so she does not need to talk to the man of the house, she can just say hello to the mistress.
However, when Audrey wanted to chat with Mrs. Hindelas, she accidentally discovered a small circle in the corner.
At a glance, there are more than a dozen young men and women of the right age, who seem to be a group of their own.
"That is?" Audrey felt curious in her heart.
At this time, an old acquaintance, Viscount Greint, came over with a wine glass and lowered his voice: "Audrey, it's not a good idea to go over there."
"Huh?" Audrey's green eyes flashed again and again, "Why."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Viscount Greent twitched his lips and said: "The person who is talking over there is Derek Syndras's good friend and best-selling author
Writer Jon Joestar, his reviews...hehe, you know what I mean."
"Jon Joestar?" Audrey remembered.
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and the recently popular "The Fire of Courage Will Burn the Sky" were all written by the other party.
With a thought in her mind, she began to use her audience ability to quietly observe the other person.
——A black boy with black hair, delicate facial features, a tough face, and a heroic spirit flowing between his brows and eyes. He is very tall, standing out from the crowd at 1.95 meters tall, and is quite strong, almost on par with professional athletes.
As for dressing up…
Audrey's inspiration trembled inexplicably.
She always felt like she had seen the other person somewhere.
etc!
This feeling is not the first time.
The last time I had this thought was in that mysterious space, at a Tarot meeting held by Mr. Fool!
Audrey couldn't help but lower her head.
Jon Joestar, ‘Mr. Destiny’?!
Viscount Greent thought that his warning had persuaded Audrey, and he said in a loud voice: "That young writer is like many ladies and young ladies. He is rich and talented, and he has a bad background."
Relying on the Syndras family, their style is dissolute... Ahem, it's nothing."
Only in the end did he realize that those tidbits did not seem suitable for gossiping about a pure girl.
Audrey smiled softly after adjusting her mentality.
Then, as if she had made up her mind, she walked towards the small circle with elegant and brisk steps.
Viscount Gretlin was slightly startled, thinking something bad in his heart.
He suddenly thought that this kind of handsome playboy was most attractive to a pure girl like Audrey.
"Oops, I won't do bad things with good intentions!"
Viscount Greent thought of Count Hall's face and was so frightened that his legs shook, so he could only bite the bullet and follow.
Of course Jon noticed Audrey, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Audrey walked up to Jon, and the people around him automatically vacated a large space.
They didn't expect that 'Backlund's most dazzling gem' would take the initiative to join this small circle, and they couldn't help but feel proud and embarrassed.
"Mr. Joestar?" Audrey greeted with a smile.
Meeting those green eyes, Jon nodded, "Miss Hall."
Others are a little confused.
I just felt that the atmosphere was inexplicably weird.
Audrey considered the words and said proactively: "Mr. Joestar's imagination is astonishing. I always keep your masterpieces by my bedside and read them all the time."
This is a lie.
After becoming an Extraordinary, Audrey usually read some occult books. Normally, she would throw them away after reading them once.
In this way, it is just to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
"Miss Audrey's reputation is well known to me." Jon stared at Audrey's cute little face and couldn't help but compare it with Triss and Mrs. Sharon in his mind.
In the end, he still felt that Audrey was slightly better.
"Mr. Joestar is ridiculous." Audrey chuckled.
The conversation changed, "I wonder how much Mr. Joestar knows about mystical sciences such as astrology and divination?"
Jon thought for a moment and said, "I know a thing or two."
"Can we talk?" Audrey seemed to have found a topic she was interested in, and her tone became a little higher.
Jon thought to himself, this is a secret code to confront me.
Fortunately, I was prepared!
But he smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and a Tarot card appeared from his fingertips like magic.
"I don't understand things that are too complicated. I only know...the fateful encounter is always so fascinating." Jon covered half of his face with the fate card.
The many noble ladies who were watching only thought that Jon was being cool, and they all exclaimed in unison.
Audrey, on the other hand, stared at the fate card in Jon's hand, feeling as if she was about to fly.
Jon Joestar is indeed ‘Mr. Destiny’!
etc……
It would be too hasty to draw a conclusion like this.
Maybe it's just a playboy trick.
Audrey temporarily suppressed her excitement.
And Jon handed the card to Audrey, "What do you think, Miss Audrey."
Audrey took it and was about to give a decent answer without losing her ladylike demeanor. Unexpectedly, the fate card suddenly changed and turned into the justice card.
"This time it must be right!"
Seeing this, Audrey's heart beat wildly.
She knew that Mr. Destiny also recognized her!
Look into each other's eyes.
it is more than words.
Viscount Greent only felt his calves soften.
It's over, we really hooked up.
If Earl Hall knew the truth, why not take his life?
no.
This must not be allowed to happen.
His thoughts were spinning rapidly, and Viscount Greent coughed slightly, "Audrey, Mrs. Hindras just said that she hasn't seen you for a while."
Audrey came back to her senses, quietly held the justice card in her hand, and said to everyone: "I'm really sorry, I'll excuse you for the moment."
The noble ladies and young masters naturally had no objections and waved goodbye to Audrey one after another.
And Jon continued to chat with those noble ladies and young masters as if nothing had happened.
Viscount Greent found the right opportunity and pulled Jon away rather rudely.
When he reached a deserted place, he said with a serious face: "Mr. Joestar, there are some things I have to say first. Although you are a friend of Derek Syndras, you also have to know that some
People are beyond your reach!"
It wasn't that Viscount Greent had a strong sense of justice, but that he simply couldn't bear the wrath of Earl Hall.
Jon calmly straightened the sleeves that had been wrinkled by Viscount Greent, and asked knowingly: "I don't understand, what are you talking about?"
Blinking his eyes, he looked at the somewhat darkened eyes of Viscount Greent, "However, Your Excellency, Viscount, you'd better exercise some restraint. Otherwise, there are some things that cannot be remedied by taking medicine."
Viscount Greent's heart moved, and his face suddenly turned red.
The poor are sick.
It's not something to talk about casually.
"Ahem, in short, Miss Audrey is Backlund's most dazzling gem, and his fiancé must be an incredible young talent."
Viscount Greent changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "Mr. Joestar, I hope you will take care of yourself."
After saying that, he quickly left with his hands behind his back.
Jon smiled and didn't care.
From Viscount Greent's point of view, he would probably do the same thing.
He could promise not to provoke Audrey, but if Audrey knew his identity, would she honestly pretend that nothing happened?
The answer is of course no.
Jon shook his head.
At this moment, he suddenly looked somewhere.
"Extraordinary aggregation, have you sensed the extraordinary characteristics of the Thief's Path..." Jon pinched his pocket.
Inside, there were several Worms of Time that were forcibly stripped from Amon's body.
"Jiji."
In his sight, a mouse with a sly expression was hiding in the dark, staring at the surroundings with very human eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Jon decided to ignore it for now.
It's just a Sequence 4 parasite, and it's a half-baked parasite that has parasitized a mouse, so what kind of trouble can it cause?
And if he thought correctly, this mouse demigod, Flora Jacob, should be eager to find a new body...
Jon followed its line of sight and looked into the venue, finally locking his eyes on a person.
That person turned out to be his ‘net friend’—Audrey Hall.
