Law of the Devil

The dinner in the Tulip Duke's mansion has been prepared.

The old butler, Made, was in charge of organizing the exquisite food, the gorgeous banquet venue, and even the garden outside the castle was filled with golden tulips that symbolized the family's glory. And all the waiters put on new clothes, and the musicians from the family agency in the castle played soft tunes.

At the moment of the banquet, because the host, Duke Tulip, is not at home. Therefore, the future Duchess, Miss Vivienne, who has already decided her role, greeted the guests one by one as the hostess.

but……

Obviously, the shy little silly girl seems very uncomfortable with this role.

Tonight Vivienne put on a set of white evening dress specially made for her. Although this pure white evening dress complements her innocent and pure temperament, it is a pity that the little girl who seems to be used to wearing the white robe of the great magician , I am very uncomfortable with this kind of clothes that expose the shoulders on both sides and the whole back in the back.

Although there are two well-dressed female etiquette teachers standing behind, quietly reminding the hostess in a low voice to greet and salute every guest who comes, it is a pity that the little silly girl seems to have no aura at all at this moment... In fact, It seems that all her talent and aura are only reflected in her magical attainments.

Although there are fireplaces burning with raging flames on both walls of the banquet hall, and the temperature in the room is very warm, Vivienne still can't help but want to reach out and pull the skirts under the shoulders from time to time... and those decorations on the back of the clothes tassel. Sweep it all over you. It seems to feel a little itchy.

Behind them are two poor female etiquette teachers. He could only keep coughing in a low voice to stop the female magician's movements... because in this kind of banquet occasion. If the hostess scratches her head. But it's very rude and unseemly behavior.

Vivienne has already welcomed six guests at the entrance of the banquet hall... Luckily. As her future duchess, not every guest is qualified to be greeted by her. pity. Mr. Philip had already told Vivian secretly. There are also two important female guests who must be greeted in person in order to show respect.

Vivienne felt that not only her shoulders and back were itchy, but even her ankles were aching.

Du Wei...he personally designed a kind of women's small leather shoes with a high heel, which Du Wei called "high-heeled shoes". Wearing it can really reflect the charm of a woman. Vivienne was lucky enough to be the first to try it on. Sure enough, after putting it on. Because of the height of the heels, the woman's body naturally leans forward, and she will straighten her waist and chest without knowing it. It can show the charm of a woman's curves.

Unfortunately it is. If the shoes are worn for too long. But I was a little tired.

Vivienne was suffering from such pain now, and she couldn't help but want to bend down to take off these shoes twenty times in her heart. And cold shoulders and back. Cold and itchy, such revealing clothes made her seem uncomfortable under the eyes of everyone - unfortunately. But tonight she is still the hostess, almost half of the people. All eyes were on her.

(I will never wear this kind of clothes again in the future...) Vivienne made up her mind, but she recalled the gentle and enchanted eyes that Du Wei looked at her when she tried it on for the first time. The little silly girl felt sweet again. I couldn't help but added a sentence in my heart (if you must wear it. Also... only wear it for him to see!)

Nod and smile. Even with an almost stiff smile. When saluting, you have to keep your neck gracefully bent like a swan... This kind of movement, in Vivienne's opinion. It is simply more difficult to learn than the most obscure magic spell.

(I would rather recite the Thunder Summoning spell a hundred times, or copy "The Complete Book of Intermediate Spells" a hundred times)

There are also two representatives of business groups from foreign aristocratic families who are quite powerful in the Desa province. He kept getting close to Vivienne, trying to please the future duchess. The two guys were buzzing and buzzing. Vivienne was obviously already impatient. But there was still a smile on his face.

Alas... these two guys, to please me. Still trying to find out what I like the most... Do you want to give me a gift?

My favorite thing is that you two disappear now...

but. For Du Wei. Vivienne, who aspires to be a good wife. I still cheer up and try my best to fulfill my "duties" as a wife.

Um. For Du Wei...me. I want to be a good wife!

At this time, the musicians outside blew the music. This means that the last distinguished guest has finally arrived.

Vivian took a deep breath. He gestured to the etiquette masters on both sides. After the two of them gently pushed open the door of the banquet hall, Vivienne finally saw the target she was waiting for.

Hmm... how is it three? Isn't it two?

At the forefront is Miss Delly, the future Princess Regent, and possibly the future Empress. This famous southern beauty. Wearing a long sea blue dress, her temperament is as dazzling as a sapphire. In the bright eyes, there is a crystal gaze.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Miss Delly's eyes were locked on Vivienne - um, this is the fiancee of the Grand Duke Tulip? The witch?

Compared with the gloomy and weird magicians in my impression, this girl is unexpectedly sweet. Although her body is a little stiff, it seems that when she bends down to salute, her movements are a bit out of shape, but that pure and pleasant appearance... ... No wonder he won the love of Grand Duke Tulip.

Don't female wizards all wear pointed hats, like witches?

Miss Delly's eyes just swept across Vivienne's body, and then immediately flicked to stare at the hostess, which was very impolite.

But the people behind seemed to have completely forgotten the etiquette.

Princess Louise was dressed in a white evening gown. When she first saw Vivienne, she was stunned.

A thought suddenly came to mind... Du Wei refused to marry him because of this girl?

Her Royal Highness the Princess in a white evening dress. Add the decoration on the gorgeous dress. make her look

It is full of a kind of rich and gorgeous, and on the head is a gemstone crown that symbolizes the status of a princess-although she came here to hide her identity. But before today comes. It's probably a secret comparison in a woman's heart. The princess decided to wear a jeweled crown to attend anyway.

But as soon as I saw Vivienne. Princess Louise regretted it.

The girl in front of me. Jerky makes people feel pathetic. Standing there pretty and alive, with a shy blush on her cheeks, her eyes are as pure as a newborn deer, but those facial features. So exquisite that people can't pick a single flaw. Her whole person is like a natural flower. .

And myself... the princess immediately regretted it. Own this dress. The color is the same as the other side. But the style is gorgeous. Standing in front of Vivian at the moment. But it seems to have degenerated into a kind of contrived vulgarity.

Even the priceless jewels on the wrists and necks seemed to be as heavy and vulgar as shackles at this moment.

But this future duchess is so elegant that she doesn't seem to have any artificially carved crystal stones... Oh, what kind of necklace is she wearing around her neck? Just an extremely simple chain with a small, inconspicuous gemstone hanging from it?

If. If Princess Louise is only stunned because of her comparative psychology as a woman, then. Tonight, Luoxue is going to the banquet as the princess' male companion. The elf king's surprise far exceeded his expectations! !

Originally, the elf king always seemed to be calm and calm, standing beside Princess Louise. Although his hand is still impeccably holding the princess's hand lightly, but his eyes. But he was already staring at Vivienne's face in a daze.

that look. It was as if he had seen something incredible. Such a look. Look Vivian from head to toe, and from foot to head. at last. Luo Xue's eyes stayed on the necklace pendant on Vivian's neck.

This... this stone, could it be...

Multicolored stone?

Is it the strongest magic gem that stores magic power? The magician's most precious treasure? It's just hanging around your neck so casually?

You must know that the continent where the criminals live has few products, especially minerals. Even ordinary iron ore has to be carefully calculated and saved. So much so that the criminals have a huge army. Neither can be equipped with the minimum weapons and armor. After the mountain had to be captured. Excavate that mountain of earth, made entirely of iron, to forge weapons.

As for the use of gem crystals in magic, let alone! Even for the elves known for their magical abilities, only high-level elves are eligible to wear props such as magic crystals.

And this human being... actually hangs such a big colorful stone around his neck?

Except for this gem. In the eyes of the Elf King. There was actually a flash of excitement that even he couldn't suppress and control... No. Maybe it's not just excitement. It seems that there are some other things faintly!

The atmosphere of the scene became a little stalemate for a while.

What made the two court etiquette teachers behind Vivian secretly sweat. The hostess, who had already warned her ten thousand times, seemed to have forgotten all the etiquette all of a sudden, and stared straight at the two guests behind her. It seemed that he was also stunned.

Vivienne was stunned. In fact, it is justifiable.

She had not forgotten her manners. The only problem is...

Mr. Philip told himself that among the two female guests tonight, he thought it was the future princess, Miss Delly, and the other was Her Royal Highness Princess Louise, the younger sister of the current regent.

But the problem is... that Miss Delly, Vivienne has already identified it. Her blue eyes are, after all, a defining feature.

Can……

Can…………

Of the two behind, which one is Princess Louise?

Don't blame Vivienne for being confused.

Because tonight, the appearance and attire of the elf king Luoxue were indeed easily misunderstood.

The elf king whose appearance is so beautiful that even women would feel jealous, possesses the flawless beauty of the elves. And the mysterious, luxurious and delicate nature unique to the elves is perfectly combined into a special charming temperament in him. In addition to this deceptive appearance, the Elven King's clothes seemed to make it difficult for people to identify men and women.

The robe worn by the Elf King was deliberately cut at the waist. Showing off his slender waist. The hem seems to be very loose, and it looks like a skirt. And those gorgeous textures on it. It also adds a bit of feminine beauty. Plus his slightly slender figure. Perfectly combined with temperament.

It really confuses Vivian.

In front of the two "female guests". Which one is the princess? To whom should I salute?

The two court etiquette masters in the back were about to collapse...to their surprise. It is not surprising that Vivian, who is unfamiliar with etiquette, forgot to salute.

But why was Princess Louise stunned? This princess grew up in a royal family. I have received the strictest court education since I was a child!

fortunately. Soon, Vivienne's rescue arrived.

"Louise, oh, dear Louise. I was surprised to hear of your arrival today."

The voice came from behind Vivienne. immediately. Mrs Lister smiled charmingly. Walking slowly, she came over easily and took Princess Louise's hand. This beautiful woman had a just right smile on her face, and she was wearing a violet evening dress, which best set off her charming charm.

Mrs. Lister came to the rescue. Vivian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bent down to salute the princess. At the same time, he did not forget to cast a grateful look at Mrs. Lister.

"Dear Lan. I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time I saw you was riding a horse in your manor in the north two and a half years ago." The princess also came back to her senses. He concealed a smile, and then saluted Vivienne. She said in a reserved tone: "Miss Wei Wei'an, you don't need to be too polite. You are the future Grand Duchess. Now you are also granted a royal title, so don't be too polite to me."

Mrs. Lister looked as usual. But secretly glanced at Vivienne. After receiving Vivienne's grateful eyes,

Mrs. Lister smiled secretly.

But then, she couldn't laugh anymore!

Because the Elf King Luoxue had just recovered from the shock of staring at Vivian. But when seeing Mrs. Liszt approaching, the elf king fell into even greater shock! !

The Elf King stared at Mrs. Liszt with naked eyes almost undisguised. An incredible look flashed in his eyes. Then he even got a little bit out of breath.

Mrs. Lister because of her beauty. I don't know how many times I have been stared at by such a man in my life. But this time. But she also faintly felt a little strange. Because of the people around Princess Louise (forgive her, even the clever Mrs. Lister did not recognize Luo Xue's gender). Look into your own eyes. It is definitely not the greedy and surprised look of ordinary men who covet their own beauty. It doesn't look like the jealousy and envy cast by women...

In this look. It seems to be extremely unexpected... It even seems to have a hint of...

anger? !

Such eyes. It seems calm, but it seems as if you can see your heart directly through your own eyes—this. What kind of look is this!

Mrs. Liszt panicked in her calm heart. Soon she adjusted her breathing. As if smiling, he said, "Louise, who is your companion?"

"Oh, this is Mr. Luoxue from the north. His identity is very mysterious. I'm also curious about Mr. Luoxue's background." An understatement. Princess Louise revealed to Mrs. Lister the information that "I don't know the exact origin of this falling snow".

Luo Xue had completely calmed down at this moment. The Elf King took a deep breath, and looked at Vivienne with a smile like a blooming flower. He lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Respected hostess, I hope that my coming is not presumptuous."

His soft voice, with a touch of magnetism, is extremely pleasant. Vivian hurriedly returned the salute with what the etiquette teacher taught, and smiled stiffly: "That's my honor."

Afterwards, the nervous little silly girl finally recalled all the etiquette taught by the teachers, and quickly turned around to lead all the distinguished guests into the banquet hall.

But at this moment, Luoxue had already moved the princess's hand calmly, slowed down quietly, and landed beside Mrs. Liszt.

He breathed out lightly, a trace of pure elf magic power carefully bundled his voice into a thread, and it quietly fell into the ear of Mrs. Lister alone.

His voice was still soft, but with a hint of coldness. only. To Mrs. Lister's surprise. This elegant and beautiful Mr. Luoxue. speak the language. But it is not a mainland language at all!

"#@#￥￥￥￥￥￥~~~~~~"

A very short sentence. It fell into Mrs. Lister's ears. She was taken aback for a moment. Then dazed. Moments later, the expression on her face had turned into shock and fear!

Naked horror!

"Don't let people see... the half-blood elf!" Luoxue's cold voice reached Mrs. Liszt's ears again.

Mrs. Lister's body trembled slightly. Then immediately lowered his head, for fear that others would see his face. And only she knows. Now on my own face. I'm afraid there is not even a trace of blood left!

Although the banquet was well arranged. But for Vivian. But it is really the most boring thing. Fortunately, she has two distinguished guests, Princess and Miss Delly, by her side, so others dare not disturb her easily. The identity of Her Royal Highness was quickly recognized, and immediately became the focus of everyone. Vivienne, the hostess, was finally able to hide away a little more easily.

at this time. To Vivian's surprise, Mrs. Liszt left without knowing when. She originally wanted to thank her for her help just now. But his eyes swept across the audience. No sign of Mrs. Lister was found.

Miss Delly stood beside the princess. The two are cleverly dealing with a group of sycophants.

"are you tired?"

A soft voice came from beside her, Vivian turned her head and saw Luo Xue standing behind her. He didn't know when he came quietly, even Vivian didn't notice his approach.

"Well...it's okay." Vivienne maintained a polite smile.

The lines of Luo Xuedi's face are very soft. A pair of eyes that seemed to be shining with gemstones. Looking at Vivienne quietly. Although the eyes are direct, they are not ostentatious.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Luo Xue smiled gently. Then he said indifferently: "Respected hostess, can you satisfy a small request of my guest?"

"Eh? Please tell me." Vivian was taken aback for a moment.

"To be honest, I'm also bored with this kind of occasion." Luoxue's smile was extremely appropriate, and even his voice seemed to be subdued by a very soft rhythm: "In my opinion. Actually You don't like the occasion either."

Vivienne had a good impression of this strange beauty in her heart, but she didn't know how to answer it. Just smiled a little.

"Exactly. I heard that this city was built in only three months. And this castle is even more a miracle among miracles. Can you show me around?" Luoxue said quietly Vivian blinked her eyes, then lowered her voice, and said in a low voice: "Anyway, I don't think they can get away for a while. Let's walk away quietly for a while. No one will notice."

Although Vivienne was not very happy in her heart. But she remembered what the etiquette teacher said today, "try to meet the appropriate requirements of the guests".

Show guests around your home. It should be counted as "proper request".

Vivian nodded. Then. The Elf King smiled slightly, made a slight gesture, and pointed to the side door closest to where the two were standing. Vivian nodded.

Easily mixed out from the hall. Not too many people noticed the departure of the two. After leaving the banquet hall. Luoxue breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh. Human life is really troublesome. Isn't this kind of banquet the nobles' favorite enjoyment..."

"Huh?" Vivi

Ann seemed a little at a loss for this sentence.

Luoxue raised her eyebrows, and immediately said: "I heard that the Duke of Tulip was originally from a family of martial arts. I think there must be some rooms dedicated to displaying weapons in this castle. Can you show me?"

"Weapons?" Vivian was stunned... Would this beautiful and slender person also be interested in weapons?

But the guests request. It is the honor of the master. Vivienne could only cheer up. He left the banquet hall with Luo Xue and passed through the center of the castle. Came to the door of a room on the other side.

Gently pushed open the door. Vivian stuck out her tongue: "This is the only weapon exhibition hall in the castle. Du Weihe actually doesn't like martial arts. So...we don't have a lot of weapon collections."

Walking into this room, there is still a lot of space inside, on a high metal shelf in the middle. There is a spear with an astonishing shape lying flat! This spear exudes a faint black light all over. It is made of high-quality goblin iron.

And obviously. This super long spear. is an imitation. It is a one-to-one sample imitated based on the legendary knight's spear "Longchinus' Spear".

Many nobles have weapons collections in their homes. Even if it's just arty. It is not uncommon to get such a thing as a facade. .

But Luoxue saw it. There was a strange light in his eyes.

He walked over slowly. Even reaching out. Caress slowly on the spear. He slender fingers. When helping the spear. It is as gentle as a musician's fingers playing an organ.

After a long time, Luoxue sighed a long time: "The spear of Longchinus... the most powerful artifact in the legend for warriors. The real artifact... in the battle of gods ten thousand years ago. The most loyal and powerful legendary spear of the goddess. The holy warrior of the middle land. It is this spear that defeated the enemy of the goddess. Those... other gods. This is a divine spear full of the blood of the gods..."

Vivienne blinked. Luo Xue said these few words in a very low voice, as if she was talking to herself. Vivienne only heard half of it. I don't quite understand what the other party means.

Luoxue came back to his senses. Immediately let go of his hand. Turn around and look at the surrounding walls.

Du Wei made his fortune selling all kinds of high-end weapons in the business shop in the empire, so there are naturally a few exquisite masterpieces here. Nothing but these things. The level of gorgeousness far exceeds the level of practicality. Looks gorgeous. In fact, they are all fragile. Like those armors. Clearing pattern. It's hard to say how much real defense it can have.

But... this kind of style should be gorgeous but not fatal. On the contrary, it greatly conforms to the taste of the elves. Luoxue looked over one by one. Actually quite interested. From time to time, I even commented on the flaws of several of them. And it's not evaluated from the perspective of weapons——from the perspective of artwork.

"If this engraving is three points deep, the overall effect will be more..."

After looking at seven or eight collections, Luoxue's eyes fell on the long sword in the middle of the wall in this room.

This is the tallest weapon rack in the room. On both sides stood two golden shields with a height of one person. It is engraved with flame tulip design.

And it is inconsistent with this gorgeous foil. The sword in the middle seemed too mediocre.

The scabbard is made of high-quality metal. It also includes the best animal skins. only. It seems to be a little old. Some scratches on the metal scabbard. Even the hides - although well maintained. But also some denitrification.

And on the hilt. Ribs one by one. It is to allow the person holding the sword to control the weapon more powerfully...

This is not a collection anymore, it seems to be a real weapon... But what is strange is that in this gorgeous weapon collection house, this is the only real weapon. But there seems to be nothing outstanding.

This is just a very ordinary long sword.

Luo Xue seemed to be a little curious, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the hilt of the sword, and even wanted to pull it out to take a closer look at what was so special about this sword - it could be placed in the most important place in this room?

Just before his hand touched the hilt of the sword...

behind. At the door, a peaceful voice came in. With a touch of laziness.

"Sorry. You can't touch that sword."

With this voice. A person walked in slowly.

Hearing this voice, the expression on Vivian's face changed from shock to infinite joy in an instant. She immediately turned around and stared at the person coming in disbelief. Then finally exclaimed.

"Ah! Du, Du Wei...you, you're back?!"

"Yes. I'm back." There seemed to be a trace of fatigue hidden in Du Wei's smile. Walking over, first gently wrapped his arms around the waist of his little fiancée. Then calmly looked at Luo Xue.

In Du Wei's eyes. Without revealing the slightest change of mind, it is as deep as the sea.

The two looked at each other.

"Hello. You must be Grand Duke Tulip. I am Luoxue." The Elf King said slowly.

"Oh... I already knew your name from my subordinates before I came in. Distinguished guest." Du Wei nodded, but then, he suddenly asked a straightforward question.

"Uh... excuse me." Du Wei scratched the back of his head regardless of his image. He smiled and said, "This... What confuses me is, are you a man or a woman?"

(Try to write a little more, start tomorrow, and resume speed as promised. These four days have been well rested. Let everyone wait for a long time.

Also, don't pay attention to the scolding in the book review area, I'm used to it anyway, hehe.

Readers who support me, don't need to be louder than others, we can just read the book with peace of mind, thank you all.

Looking forward to the gorgeous collision between Du Wei and the Elven King. .
