Chapter 482
Coincidentally, Rafael also happened to know that woman.
"Huh? Isn't that Aunt Liu Kui?"
"Auntie?" Rin asked curiously.
Raphael nodded: "He is a businessman from the Fallen Star Empire and has business dealings with my family."
Lin's heart suddenly moved: "Just in time, let's take this opportunity to get to know the earl."
The two groups of people had been traveling back and forth before. As Rafael's stay increased and a small snowstorm occurred during the period, the distance between the two groups became further and further.
Rafael never had a chance to talk to this person, but now it was just the right time.
Raphael nodded and let the others go about their work, while he and Rin walked towards the dining area.
After entering the arch, we walked along the rows of dining tables and finally came to a more remote and quiet corner.
The appearance of Raphael and Rin also attracted each other's ideas.
Another middle-aged lady's eyes lit up and she quickly stood up with a smile.
"Isn't this Rafael? It's such a coincidence that I can see you here. Thank you to the goddess for her gift."
It seems that this wealthy businessman is also a believer.
"Auntie, you're welcome. I didn't expect to see you here."
The two of them greeted each other very naturally. Judging from the names, the relationship between the two families should be very good, and there was no superficial politeness.
"Haha, I happen to have some business in the Holy Empire. I heard that there is a treasure of the Demon King in this auction. No, I came here quickly."
"Me too."
The earl on the other side also stood up. Seeing that they were familiar with each other, he asked: "Ms. Liu Kui, who is this lady?"
"Come on, Konide, let me introduce to you. This is Miss Raphael, the daughter of our Falling Star Sword Master, who is also known as the Pearl of the Imperial Capital."
Connaird quickly complimented, "It turns out to be Miss Thunder Sword Envoy. I am truly lucky to meet you today. I, Cond. Ranieger, come from Skate City."
"Connide is a count." Liu Kui added.
"I am a Earl in name only, but I can't compare to Miss Raphael. Haha, we have met several times before, but we never had the chance to get to know each other."
After saying that, Conrad quickly moved towards his seat and said, "Please take a seat, I will be the host to entertain you two today."
Of course, the two he mentioned were referring to the two ladies at the scene, and did not include Rin.
Rin was standing respectfully behind Rafael at this time, standing with the steward brought by Liu Kui and the old gentleman he met before.
After Liu Kui sat down, her eyes fell on Lin and asked curiously: "Raphael, this... looks like your butler, right? Why haven't I seen him before?"
It is difficult for a young and handsome boy like Rin not to attract attention.
Rafael smiled and said: "He is a newly trained deacon. Of course you have never seen him, auntie. Although he looks young, he is quite neat in his work."
"I also really want such an outstanding deacon. He looks so kind, and it would be great to be an adopted son." The noble lady said bluntly, "Don't let this child stand all the time."
Raphael suddenly had a dark look, glanced at Lin, and secretly said, "Lan Yan is in trouble."
Xiuxundan's appearance is indeed very popular among mothers, and he really has a "I feel pity for him" kind of feeling.
However, whether he is a pretty adopted son or a pretty face mainly depends on the thoughts of the aunts.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Rin spoke sincerely and bowed gratefully to the other party.
The clear young voice, the tall and straight figure, and the elegant manners even made the lady stunned for a moment, and she really felt like she was an adopted son.
So Rin and the other two people came to another table.
Rin took the lead in choosing a seat where he could face Raphael. After sitting down, he ordered his food, and then took the initiative to chat quietly with the people at the same table.
"I'm Lin Lin. I've just been assigned to the eldest lady. I'm very unfamiliar in every aspect. I hope you'll forgive me."
"Where this is, you are the deacon and I am the steward. Everyone's work is similar. If you have anything you don't know, just ask me. By the way, my name is Yuan Zheng." said the steward who followed Liu Kui.
Another person said with a smile: "Call me Hua Lai. In fact, I have just started working for the Earl. I don't have any formal errands yet. I just follow you around to do odd jobs."
Hearing the word Hualai, Lin's heart trembled and she was a little excited.
It was really good luck to meet the real owner so soon.
Thinking about how to capture the other party alive, Lin remained calm on the surface and said seriously: "I have just started working and I can be taken with you. I think the earl has great trust in Mr. Hualai."
Hua Lai waved his hand: "Hey, that's not the case. We didn't even know each other a few days ago. It was just because I happened to help the count. When he saw that I lost my job, he invited me to work for him."
Rin and Yuan Zheng were immediately curious and asked what was going on.
Hua Lai did not shy away and told the whole story exactly what happened.
As Rin listened, he was extremely wary. He realized a very strange and awkward place.
Chapter 116 She is anxious, she is anxious
Count Connair's team encountered an avalanche caused by a snow-capped mountain eagle when passing a mountain peak.
Not only did they have to face falling rocks and snow, they also had to avoid attacks from huge snow-capped mountain eagles, making the team a mess.
Fortunately, Hua Lai passed by, drove away the monsters, and guided them out of the snow disaster area, thus avoiding heavy losses.
Hualai's rank was high, and he used to work under the countess and had contacts with other nobles, so he was somewhat famous.
Connair repaid his kindness by taking him under his wing.
The way to repay others is to have people work for you. This thing sounds ridiculous, but it is taken for granted by the class gap and the arrogance of the nobility.
Hua Lai had nowhere to go, so he readily agreed.
Of course, the so-called "happening to pass by and agreeing readily" are just the meaning expressed by Hualai's self-narration.
Rin was thinking with the evil god's lymphocytes, and knew that this was a deliberately created close opportunity.
The weird thing is, he talks too much.
According to their status, they should not reveal so much, unless they are chatty, and it is obvious that the calm and measured Mr. Wallai is not among them.
Then his topic naturally turned to Rafael.
He asked insinuatingly why Rafael appeared here and so on.
Rin's answer was accurate; "The eldest lady was originally going to replace Lady Selena before the canonization ceremony, but something happened on the way and the schedule was delayed.
After hearing the news about the mirage, he decided to go there. On the one hand, he would contribute to the conquest, and on the other hand, he would also like to apologize to His Highness the Holy Son in person, so he passed by here to join in the fun. "
"What happened? Did you miss such an important ceremony?" Hua Lai continued to ask.
Rin smiled slightly and pushed up his glasses: "Sir, you don't have to worry about some trivial matters."
Hua Lai nodded sarcastically: "I'm just talking too much."
I thought that Rin was just a young man, and with the detailed and frank answers he gave before, it would be easy to ask for information from the other party, but unexpectedly, he underestimated him.
Hualai thought silently. In fact, he had already investigated Rafael's identity when he met Rafael before. That encounter was also a deliberate encounter.
The purpose is to bury a seed in Rafael's body and find another way for himself.
If the plan to control the Duke fails, he can also use Raphael to enter the Meteor Empire and then lurk to start a new plan.
But when he saw Rafael today, it seemed that the situation he had originally expected did not occur, which made him feel a little unsure.
The Earl, who was at another table at this time, couldn't help but use a napkin, turned his head and coughed several times.
"The temperature has been getting colder and colder recently. Mr. Connaird should pay more attention."
Conrad straightened his tie and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern. It's nothing serious. It's just that I haven't exercised for a long time. My level and physique have dropped. The general feeling of winter is biting and cold from time to time. It's over. alright."
After hearing his explanation, Rafael and Liu Kui didn't care.
Some nobles got used to being pampered and gave up after gaining experience, especially magicians. Over time, their bodies became the same as those of ordinary people, and it was normal to get a little cold.
When Hua Lai heard this, his thoughts moved and he said to Lin and Yuan Zheng: "This winter is extremely cold. Those of us who are subordinates must always pay attention to the physical condition of the adults."
Yuan Zheng echoed: "Indeed, my wife was feeling a little unwell not long ago. Fortunately, she was treated early."
Rin smiled: "The eldest lady is a thunder sword user, and her body is much stronger than ordinary people."
"Hey, you can't just look at it this way. When cold disease comes, even a strong warrior will be harmed by it if he is not careful. We still need to pay more attention to it, and so do we. There is no harm in paying more attention to our health."
Yuan Zheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's true. Most therapists can only heal pain, but there are too few who can cure diseases."
"I happen to have some research on potions. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere and the therapist can't cure it, you can come to me at any time."
Rin felt more and more weird. She always felt that there was something in the old man's words, but she didn't know what his intentions were, so she could only say a few perfunctory polite words.
After that, Hualai seemed to have said everything he wanted to say, and his words became less and less until the impromptu dinner was over, and he followed Conrad away.
As soon as Conrad left, Raphael patted his own curve, and without caring about anything else, he grabbed Rin's sleeves, said goodbye to the lady, and pulled Rin out.
Originally, the lady wanted to inquire more about Rin, but seeing this, she had no choice but to give up.
When they had dinner together, she had already inquired several times intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to see what Rin's life experience was, and wondering if she could let Rafael transfer.
At that time, Raphael gave her a somewhat awkward but polite smile, and directly changed the subject in a cryptic manner. Now that they are so eager and intimate, it would be strange if there was nothing between the young people. .
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Can you please pay attention to your identity?"
Rin also pulled out his sleeves with a look of helplessness, but the wild boar was so powerful that he had no intention of letting go.
It wasn't until he pulled Rin into the room that Raphael let go, thrusting his hands into his waist with an angry look on his face.
"Please, Your Majesty the Holy Son, can you please restrain your charm that has nowhere to go and stop provoking those mature women all the time?"
"???"
Lin had a question mark on his face and said angrily: "What are you talking about? What does it have to do with this young master!"
"It has nothing to do with you. What are you doing when people ask you again and again? I'm sitting there with goosebumps all over my body."
Raphael is still a little confused because she can't tell whether it is the overwhelming maternal love of a mature woman or something else...
Thinking of Rin's past of attacking elders, such as the witch aunt, he could not help but feel angry.
Young Master Rin also felt the malice of this remark, and was furious, staring at Rafael fiercely.
"I don't know what you, a stupid wild boar, are crazy about!"
"I was there to help you get words, and to be polite to that hypocritical noble, and I felt like sitting on pins and needles, but you are so good! You attract bees and butterflies."
"Tell me what I did? Did I chat with someone, or make eye contact?"
"You... uh...?"
Rafael's anger was vented, and his mind became much clearer, and he also felt something was wrong.
"It seems... Humph, I didn't notice! Anyway, I was unhappy!"
"Good guy, you have endocrine disorders and a bad mood, so you can get angry at me. Are you going to blame me if you break up or get divorced in the future?"
"You will break up and get divorced!"
Rafael was also wondering why he was so angry before, and he directly pulled Rin to scold her.
It was her fault, but she couldn't apologize. On the surface, she still looked righteous and strong, her ears were red, and she felt some indescribable shame in her heart.
Rin laughed sarcastically: "That's right, you are a wild boar that is unreasonable and rampant. I don't know if that man will like you."
"At worst, I will find a woman! Anyway, I won't find you!"
The words blurted out made the atmosphere silent.
The two of them stared at each other. In Rin's confused and shocked face, Rafael's blush on his neck began to spread upwards and soon covered his entire face.
The heat rose from the top of his head and his eyes trembled.
"I...I, I, I just said it casually. If you dare to spread it seriously, I will kill you!"
After saying that, he covered his face and ran away.
Rin came to his senses and quickly grabbed her, but was almost dragged away by Rafael's brute force.
Fortunately, Raphael stopped as if he had received an electric shock. His whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to turn his head back.
"You...you, you, what are you doing..."
Lin was very upset: "Do you think it's over? Why are you running!"
