Chapter 468 (1/2)
Under the repeated warm invitation of President clement, Loren and Lina finally came to the banquet hall on the third floor, which is the real side of the casino.
When they walked into it, they found that the whole third and fourth floors were completely ”Hui” shaped structure. In the center was a courtyard built of white marble, which was very dazzling under the illumination of nine crystal chandeliers.
With the help of corridors and rotating stairs, the whole banquet hall will completely integrate the third and fourth floors; Each Candlestick position is separated by a short distance, coupled with the relatively dim light, creating a very quiet and relatively hidden space for the guests without a sense of alienation.
Compared with the extravagant and golden Gambling Hall on the ground floor, the light is dim, the tableware and furnishings are mostly wood products, and even the three or four floors with few oil paintings and pure gold decoration are obviously inferior.
But whether it's the faint incense in the air, the dim light, the exquisite enamel murals, the soft carpet under your feet... Obviously, the owners here understand the careful thinking of those ”nobles”.
Compared with the noisy luxury, these distinguished guests who do not want to easily expose their identity care more about considerate comfort and privacy, and more low-key taste
”The light of dawn shines on his face;
The tranquility between the eyebrows has disappeared;
Cold eyes, emitting cold light;
Your bleak back leaves in the morning fog;
People in the world will die;
And go, don't imitate hesitation;
The flowers will dissipate and the autumn leaves will wither;
Time spreads its wings, where will it soar... ”
On the stage where the lights gather, a cool looking woman in a sea blue dress is singing in a low voice, and the surrounding musicians play notes with the melodious song... Under the echo of the hall, the guests in every corner of each floor can clearly hear and see.
Sitting in a corner of the hall, the smiling black haired wizard listened quietly; The melodious and slightly sad singing can really make people gradually fall into inexplicable and sad emotions.
”It's boring.”
Sitting in each other's ”black framed glasses” and sipping punch, a low-grade drink seasoned with fruit juice and wine, is very popular in the royal capital and the noble salon parties in the south, especially loved by those who are not good at drinking and noble ladies.
Of course, its exorbitant price also doomed it impossible to leave the aristocratic circle.
”Obviously, they are a group of nobles and rich people living in the present and living in luxury and erosion, but they pretend to learn from the ancient Knights hundreds of years ago, lamenting the shortness of life and the brilliance of life and death... Pretend.”
”This is human nature...” the disapproving black haired wizard shrugged and smiled cunningly: ”I'm curious... Why didn't you stop me from agreeing to President Clement?”
”Although I don't know the reason, your expression at that time obviously disagreed with me coming here.”
”He has already said that. Can you still have a second choice?”
Lina was direct and straightforward, but she was still expressionless: ”what's more... Even if you don't agree, they have some ways; how strong are these people? I thought you had learned a lesson from count chann.”
The dark haired wizard nodded slightly, and his calm eyes kept scanning back and forth among the surrounding guests.
Although the cause and effect have not been clarified, the so-called ”big gambling” is obviously not just as simple as Clement said. The other party must have deliberately concealed some important information or private transactions.
Otherwise, there are so many people in the imperial capital who don't have to look at the color of Byrne's aristocracy. Why do you have to save yourself, Brandon's wizard consultant?
”Here, I've been here once.”
While Loren was still meditating, Lina in front of her suddenly said, ”I've been to this party and participated in a big gamble.”
”Why, not just for money?”
Loren's expression became a little subtle, and the other party was willing to say this, which proved that she had gradually relaxed her vigilance towards herself, instead of completely taking the other party as an available object at the beginning.
This is a very good start.
