Gray Lint opened the exquisite gold pocket watch and found that the time had reached two o'clock in the morning.
"It wasn't even early in the morning when we got back from the party."
He muttered something in a low voice, stopped fussing, put out the gas lamp and fell asleep.
Generally speaking, the nobles of the Loen Kingdom do not just wander around idle all day long.
Nobles who have not yet reached adulthood generally have to learn etiquette, philosophy, art, equestrianism... and many other things every day.
For example, Miss Audrey now, and Gray Linte not long ago.
There are roughly two types of adult nobles. One is the eldest son who inherits his father's title and most of the property.
Some of them have nothing to do, while others enter the House of Lords and participate in politics under the arrangement of their elders.
The former is represented by Gray Lint, and the latter is represented by Hibbert.
The other category is non-eldest sons who have no inheritance rights. Basically, they don’t even receive private tutoring, but attend school to study.
Study from "Middle School Preparatory Class", to "Middle School", and then to first-class universities such as "Backlund University" and "Tingen University".
Of course, this is also related to the father's wealth. If the father is rich enough, it is not too difficult to hire more tutors.
This type of non-eldest son is not qualified to "idle around and do nothing". If he does not strive for a future life, the best of them can only have enough food and clothing, which is completely un"respectable".
After graduation, most of them will work in relatively good careers such as "lawyer" or "doctor".
Of course, like Audrey's second brother Alfred Hall, there are also many people seeking promotion in the military and in the Southern Continent.
The reason why Gray Lint had nothing to do was because his father died prematurely.
He inherited the title just after he turned twenty. Although Earl Hall supervised him from time to time, he could not discipline him directly after all.
Graylint, who is obsessed with occultism, certainly has no interest in participating in politics, but instead participates in various occultism discussion circles and clubs.
Of course, some literary and philosophical salons are inevitable, including some banquets.
Some of them are organized by nobles, while others are organized by newly rising wealthy people.
This kind of gathering actually has more social significance than the banquet itself.
————————————————————
The next day, Tuesday morning, Graylint, who was obviously sleep deprived, was woken up early by Hash.
His original plan was to go to the Veterans Officers Club to practice shooting and fighting this morning, and in the afternoon as well, and read some Torah in his free time.
It's not that he suddenly became diligent, it's just because of the lack of entertainment projects.
So he planned the schedule yesterday, and Harsh just followed the arrangement.
After Graylingt accidentally went to bed late yesterday, there was certainly no reason to stay in bed, which was quite unseemly for a nobleman.
Tomorrow morning will be the trial time for the Barton bodyguard murder case, and Gray Lint has to make more preparations for it.
Obviously, he could not achieve anything in the law in a short period of time.
"Then we can only start from the 'logic' of the other party's defense lawyer."
You still have to try to insert dialogue and act out the role, otherwise it will be a waste of such a perfect opportunity.
Gray Linte chewed the milk bread tastelessly, thinking about tomorrow's things.
Even on the way to the "Veteran Officers Club".
Thanks to the coachman's driving skills, he didn't feel any bumps.
After briefly checking the standards of several coaches currently working in the "Veteran Officers Club", Gray Lint chose a retired officer from Dongbailang named Cliff, whose fighting skills were quite outstanding.
At the same time, Gray Lint discovered that the opponent's shooting level was also quite good, so he decided not to bother extra and chose him as the shooting coach.
This is a strong man in his forties, but not strong. He is slightly taller than Gray Linte, with a rather contoured face and a darker complexion.
"You seem to want to learn some real fighting and shooting skills?"
He asked with great confusion, which made Graylint a little confused.
"Of course, Mr. Cliff."
"What's wrong with this?"
"No, I'm sorry, there's nothing wrong. It's just that I have met quite a few young nobles in this club. Most of them do it for 'exercise', 'social interaction', 'pursuing the girl they love' and other similar purposes.
came here."
"In an era like this, they don't need to rely on force and guns to ensure safety."
That's because they most likely don't know how dangerous and cruel the struggle in the extraordinary world is, such as the case of Viscount Gray Lint before I traveled through.
Gray Lint didn't explain much. He just confirmed with the other party that he had obtained the certificate for using all types of weapons, and then started training.
Because his physical fitness could not keep up, and in order to pursue training effects, he took the initiative to take off the ring of command.
Therefore, even with such low-intensity training, Gray Lint still found it quite strenuous, which made Cliff shake his head.
In order to divert his attention and not pay too much attention to the physical discomfort, Gray Linte thought about some plans for the future.
The first is that after repeated thinking, he decided to give Audrey the "audience" potion formula in advance.
This is due to many considerations, the most important of which is that Audrey's own extraordinary ability in the original work actually does not contribute much to the plot. It is mainly her wealth that drives the flow of funds in the Tarot Society.
Therefore, Gray Linte does not need to worry too much about Audrey's strength affecting too much of the original plot.
The second is to try to build a connection with Gray Fog, otherwise it will be ridiculous that you will not be qualified to participate at all.
This is actually very simple. He can learn from Miss "Hugh Dilcha" and recite the honorable name of Mr. "Fool".
This doesn't even require Klein to set up an honorary name!
Because as long as he is put down from the "Origin Castle", then the honorary name "The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the yellow and black king in charge of good luck." can definitely point to him.
"Well, I have to recite it when he just comes down. Later, when he regains his consciousness, he will definitely notice me if I recite it again."
"With his cautious character, he would definitely not take the initiative to drag me in without knowing my details."
In fact, Gray Linte also considered asking Audrey to join first and recommend him later. However, there was no suitable reason to propose this to Audrey, and it was also a little too late.
After Zhou Mingrui came down, Old Neil passed away not long after, and Ince Cullo completed his plan.
If the normal recommendation process had been followed, there was a high probability that Graylingt would not have joined the Tarot Club at that time.
After Klein is tricked once by Ince, he will only be more cautious...
In addition, he also decided to try to borrow the new invention concept book containing the "Black Emperor" playing card from the Church of Steam through "Sylvie Heisenberg".
His original idea was to wait for Klein to get the cards and buy the formula from him later.
Because he only needs the "recipe" and not the person corresponding to the card. On the contrary, if he holds the card, he has to deliberately prevent the other party's extraordinary characteristic aggregation effect.
But he felt that this was too slow!
If he knows how to act, even if he has average talent, it will not take him more than four or five months to digest the "Lawyer" and "Barbarian" potions.
In other words, when Klein was put down from the "Origin Castle", he was at least a "barbarian" whose digestion was completed.
If the formula and materials go well, it is most normal for him to become a "briber".
There is no need to deliberately wait until he is near the end of the year to steal the "Black Emperor" card. It is more meaningful to upgrade the sequence earlier, both for Gray Lint himself and to provide some help to Klein.
Of course, the best result that Gray Linte expected was to be able to seal the Black Emperor Cards back after reading them, so that the cards could be read without changing the plot.
