Chapter 17： banquet invitation

the next day.

With the rising sun, Eli walked out of the house.

Standing in front of the gate, looking at the familiar street in front of him, judging the direction of his eyes, he left quickly.

Along the way, Eli looked around from time to time and found that there were obviously a lot of homeless people. In the narrow and dirty path, many people were leaning against the wall and their eyes were blank.

"I heard that this year's harvest was not good. It seems that many people will starve to death this year." Eli hurried past without paying too much attention to these people.

Every era has its limitations, and the same is true here.

There are some things that he can't change.

Soon, Eli entered the civilian area, and a few minutes later, came to the library.

Saying hello to the doorman, Eli walked in.

Because the teacher was here today, Eli chose the world to enter the second floor and stopped in a room on the side near the corridor.

"Herman, look at what you have done, you can't do such a simple thing well!"

Before entering, Eli heard Lemon's familiar voice. If nothing else, he should be teaching Herman a lesson.

Herman was one of the two invigilators before, Mr. Lemon's student, his father was a baron, he was the sixth son of the baron, and he was sent to the library to study *******!

Eli knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in!" Maester Lemon's voice sounded.

Eli pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Maester Lemon sitting behind the table. Compared with three years ago, he had more white hair, more wrinkles, and he looked a lot older.

And Herman was standing in front of the table, with short brown hair and the usual blue eyes. At this time, he was bowing his head, as if he was receiving education from the teacher.

"It's Eli!" When Maester Lemon saw Eli coming, his originally wrinkled brows stretched out, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Eli should be the best student he has received in recent years. He not only learns things quickly, but also has a good personality. He is always polite and he likes it very much.

Especially when he saw Herman, this feeling was even stronger.

Thinking of this, he gave Herman a fierce look.

Herman: …

I know I'm not good at studying, but I don't need to.

"Well, do you have anything to do with me?" As if remembering something, Maester Lemon looked at Eli and asked.

"It's okay, the materials that the teacher asked me to sort out last time have been completed."

Eli took out a material from his arms and handed it to the teacher.

Maester Lemon often gives them tasks to test their abilities.

Maester Lemon took the material and immediately read it. During the process of reading, his eyes gradually lit up, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth became larger and larger. It could be seen that he was very satisfied.

"Even if I were to make this material, it would be difficult to achieve this level. Eli, your progress is really fast." Putting down the material, Maester Lemon stroked his beard.

"It's the teacher's education!" Eli said modestly.

"Hahaha!" Maester Lemon burst out laughing, and the unpleasantness just now seemed to disappear, and then he cast a disgusting look at Herman next to him.

The corners of Herman's mouth twitched, and then he looked towards Eli with a resentful expression.

"Is there anything else?" After reading the materials, Maester Lemon asked again.

"never mind."

"If you have nothing to do, then you can go to work." Maester Lemon nodded and said, glanced at Herman next to him, and waved his hand: "You can go out too."

Hey, what do you mean by that disgusting action!

Although he was complaining all the time, Herman still didn't have the courage to say it, and could only walk out of the house with Eli.

Once out of the house, Herman immediately became active.

"Did you make a mistake, Eli, don't you know, Teacher Lemon obviously has something wrong recently, and he always picks on me."

"It's really getting harder and harder for me these days, and I kind of regret coming here." Herman shook his head and sighed.

"Then you can leave the library at any time, and the restrictions here are not so strict!" Eli joked as the two walked in the corridor.

"Haha, just kidding, how could I leave." Herman laughed twice.

Although his father was a baron, he had six sons. The title and family property had almost nothing to do with him. Being able to enter the library was his father's greatest help to him.

"Then study hard, don't make Teacher Lemon angry." Eli nodded and advised.

"You're right." Herman sighed and said helplessly.

He is an eccentric character, and it is really not easy for him to study for a long time.

"Eli!"

The two walked around a corner, and a girl suddenly entered their line of sight.

The long brown hair reaches the shoulders, the purple dress shows half of the calf, the fair face makes him look full of youthful charm, and the pair of purple eyes makes Herman's heart skip a beat.

Rias Gremory, the girl who passed the test with Eli three years ago.

"Good morning!" Eli greeted.

Three years ago, she was still very ordinary, but three years later, she has become such a beautiful girl, which made Eli a little unexpected.

Speaking of this Rias, she actually had some incidents with Eli. Two years ago, this Rias seemed to have some good feelings for Eli because she often asked her questions.

At that time, Eli also discovered this problem, so he decisively refused.

A woman will only affect the speed of his spiritual arousal.

After that, Rias didn't bother, and now she and him are friends.

"You are so beautiful today." Herman looked at the girl in front of him and praised.

"Thank you." Rias nodded politely at him, UU read and then looked at Eli.

"Eli, I invited a lot of friends to hunt at the family's manor this weekend, do you have time?" Rias asked Elias with big purple eyes looking at Eli.

"Hunting?" Eli raised his eyebrows.

Forgot to mention, Rias Gremory belongs to the Gremory family, and the Gremory family is a real count family and a real noble.

Although he was puzzled at first as to why she came to the library, it seemed that he gradually understood, because although the library was always unknown, it was no worse than the top nobles in terms of influence.

"Oh, by the way, and Herman, are you willing to go?" Rias added.

"Yes, yes." Herman nodded frantically.

This is the Earl's family. If it can be related, it will be a good thing for him.

But he also knew that this was Eli's light, so he just looked at Eli expectantly, waiting for him to make a decision.

"You rejected me last time too, this time you can't reject me." Rias looked at Eli and said.

"Alright then!" Eli nodded helplessly.

He had rejected Rias' invitation several times before, mainly because he found it troublesome, but after all, he had been invited several times, and it was not very good to refuse every time.

"That's it!" Seeing Eli's agreement, Rias showed a smile at the corner of her mouth, matching a purple dress like a blooming violet.

Rias came to invite Eli. After the invitation, after a few words of greetings, she left directly.

Eli watched the back of Rias leaving, turned around and left with Herman.

A hunt and nothing should happen.

But even if something happened, he was confident that it would be resolved.
