Chapter 423 - The Magic Conductor’s Rebellion
Lei Luo thought for a moment and hesitated before nodding. "All right, let"s drink this wine before we leave. The sky won"t fall."
Hearing Lei Luo"s words, a simple smile appeared on Morton"s face. He didn"t say anything and only stretched out his hand to pat Lei Luo"s shoulder, looking very satisfied.
Soon, it was evening.
Arthur, who spent almost 24 hours a day in the office and patrolling, had already packed up most of the things on hand. Then he took a bottle of good wine that he had looted and ran to Morton"s room in a flash.
When he entered the door, he saw Morton and Lei Luo already sitting in the room waiting for him. There was a map between the two of them, as if they were discussing something.
Arthur, who was standing at the door, smiled in embarra.s.sment and asked timidly, "Am I disturbing you?"
"What are you talking about? It"s your birthday today. You"re the oldest."
Lei Luo turned around and saw that Arthur was already at the door. He quickly put away the map and stood up with a smile.
"If you have anything important to say, you can talk first. I"ll come back later."
As Arthur said this, he really turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing this, Lei Luo hurriedly walked over and pulled him back.
"What the f*ck? There"s nothing important in this world. Come, come, come. Hey, what is this in your hand? Red wine? Is it real or fake?"
When Lei Luo mentioned this, Arthur immediately became excited. "Of course it"s real. This wine is pa.s.sed down from our ancestors. My family has been winemakers for generations. We don"t have anything else, but we have a treasure that is stored in a special box. I went home a few days ago and brought it over."
Morton, who was well-versed in wine, took the bottle and spoke with a pained expression. "F*ck, you"re really willing to part with it. You killed a bottle of red wine on your birthday. You have the bearing of a Grand Alliance leader."
"What"s the big deal? There"s no banquet without wine. It"s fate for us to b.u.mp into each other. A bottle of red wine is nothing."
As Arthur spoke, he forcefully broke open the bottle of top-notch treasure that he had brought from home. The moment the bottle was opened, the fragrance that had been stored for thousands of years instantly filled the room.
"We can"t let this bottle of wine suffer. Morton, which is the best restaurant in the entire city? Lead the way. It"s my treat."
Lei Luo patted his chest and laughed.
"Haha, good. You always think of scamming others. It"s your turn to be scammed by us."
After Morton finished speaking, everyone laughed along.
Suddenly, the usually rational Lei Luo suddenly had an unrealistic thought, that time could stop at this time.
Because at this time, he felt something special. This was the thing that he lacked the most in his life, and he didn"t know how to express it.
Lei Luo, who was immersed in this carefree mood, suddenly felt that all the great ambitions had become empty at this moment.
Looking at Morton and Arthur, who were smiling brightly and simply, Lei Luo thought to himself, "If only it could be like this forever."
While Lei Luo and the other two were happily eating meat and drinking wine under the hotel owner"s hateful gaze, Ulysses, who was far away in Ulysses, was not in a relaxed mood at all.
Last night, he had just received bad news that Marquis Calasio had died in the rebel army of the magic conductor.
A dignified marquis had actually died in the hands of the magic conductor. From this, it could be seen how serious the matter had become.
And this was not the only thing that made Ulysses anxious.
After such a serious matter had happened, the other marquis could not sit idly by. This time, papafiline had taken the initiative to gather all the Marquis Kings for another meeting.
However, this time, Ulysses did not receive an order from his father to attend the meeting. Instead, Morse went to attend the meeting alone.
Ulysses thought that this was undoubtedly an unusual signal. However, he could not see through his father"s intentions at once.
His old father always seemed to like doing things that he could not understand on purpose.
Whenever there was a problem, Strachey would always come to him to discuss it. But for several days, Ulysses didn"t see Strachey and didn"t know what he was busy with.
Ulysses was depressed. He walked in the garden for half a day, but he couldn"t get rid of the anger in his chest. So he strolled to Strachey"s apartment.
Ulysses" apartment was made up of a group of buildings on a hill. Strange"s apartment was one of these buildings.
Therefore, Ulysses walked from the garden to Strachey"s apartment in less than half an hour.
The apartment was an independent villa. It was decorated in the style of the ancient times that Ulysses liked.
Ulysses came to the door of Strachey"s apartment and saw that it was closed. He walked up and knocked on the door, but after a few knocks, there was no response.
Ulysses thought that Strachey had probably gone out to buy something with his servant. He knew that his teacher had this hobby.
When there was something that he could not figure out, he liked to personally bring his servant to the market to buy things.
With this thought in mind, Ulysses walked back. However, after a few steps, he saw Strachey"s only servant walking over with a bag of vegetables on his back.
"Your Highness."
Upon seeing Ulysses, the servant hurriedly bowed to Ulysses.
"Why don"t you change this bad habit of yours? Don"t be so polite when there"s no one around." Strachey"s old servant was someone who had watched Ulysses grow up. Ulysses was even more friendly to him than Strachey.
Seeing him bow, Ulysses quickly walked over with a smile and helped him up. "Hey, where"s Teacher? Isn"t he with you?"
Uncle Zhang"s eyes were wide open as he said with a puzzled expression, "Isn"t master at home?"
"Is Teacher at home?" Ulysses blinked his eyes in confusion as well. "No one responded to me when I knocked on the door."
"Oh, then it should be because he didn"t hear you. Master seems to be communicating with someone through magic. He probably thinks that I shouldn"t be listening to their conversation, so he specially sent me out to buy vegetables."
Hearing the old servant"s words, Ulysses was slightly stunned, then he nodded and said, "Oh."
"Your Highness, come back with me. Master should be at home."
As the old servant spoke, he was about to pull Ulysses back.
Ulysses smiled and shook his head. "Since Teacher is so busy, then I won"t disturb him. Moreover, I suddenly thought of something to do, so I"ll go back first. Help me tell Teacher to come to my place when he"s free. I have something to ask him for an idea."
