The Law of the Silent Gentleman - Chapter 83

“Then Antoine is drunk and can’t come?”

In a corner of the hall of “Flowers Spring”, Enzo, Giuliano and Leixi sat behind a screen and talked. The screen could not completely isolate the sound, but fortunately, a group of enchanting dancers came to the stage soon, and the atmosphere was immediately ignited, and there was a commotion everywhere, and no one would deliberately listen to the conversation of the three in the corner.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect him to drink so badly.” Lei Xi replied nonchalantly, “So I’ll let you know on his behalf, so that you don’t worry about him. At the Copper Carp Hotel, he can get the best care.”

“I guess so. But for this kind of thing, it’s enough to send a servant to report it. Why do you need to go there yourself?”

“You are so strange. I also want to meet my long-lost friends. And I thought you must have some adventures at sea. Antoine passed out without saying a few words. I haven’t heard enough. As a bard , how can we miss the wonderful story?”

Enzo showed no emotion. “There’s no great story. We met pirates, everyone else died, and we were the only ones who got caught. Antoine bet his freedom on a duel with the pirate leader, and won, so we got out safely. “

“Then we arrived at Vanessa?” Rexi stared at Enzo with great interest, “Vanessa and the place of exile ‘Shirahama Island’ are in diametrically opposite directions, don’t tell me it’s the pirate leader showing kindness sent you back.”

“It’s nothing unusual. Although the man is a bandit at sea, he is very loyal. He was once imprisoned by the governor of Vanessa, Boniwell, so he hated that guy. Giuliano also has a blood feud with the governor. We The two sides can be said to share the same hatred, so he agreed to give us a ride.”

“So, the reason why you came back this time is…” Lei Xi gestured to wipe his neck, “The governor?”

“That’s what you said, and I didn’t say anything.”

“We have been through thick and thin together, through life and death, and you still have doubts about me? It hurts me.”

“Believe me, the less you know, the better for you.”

“I’m a bard. It’s my job to record and sing great songs, not to sit in an easy chair and die of old age. We don’t have ‘easy’ in our lives.”

“The dead can’t sing any songs.” Enzo said coldly.

There was a smile in Rexi’s eyes. No sarcasm, no contempt, just a simple smile, as if seeing something interesting to laugh at. “Did you know that the ancient peoples called their gods ‘Dumana’, which means ‘immortal ones’, whereas they called themselves ‘An-Dumana’, which means ‘not immortal ‘, that is, mortal mortals. You and I are mortals who are mortal, Enzuo my friend, and one day I will die too, but not at this time, not here.”

He suddenly got up, “It’s getting late, I should go back to the Copper Carp Hotel. Tomorrow, when Antoine sobers up, I’ll send him over.”

“No. Just let Antoine and Miss Constanzia stay together. I think he likes that lady very much. Why break up the good things of others. Besides, stay away from us, stay away from everything that will happen next, maybe It’s better for Antoine.”

“If Antoine knew your concern, he would be grateful. But I can’t make the decision for him. I can’t stop him from where he wants to go and what he wants to do after he wakes up.”

He said “Farewell” and walked around the screen.

Enzuo pressed his thigh with one hand, and suddenly said, “Please stay.”

“What else is there?”

“Is Antoine really drunk? I don’t think he can drink that badly.”

Lei Xi’s smile came from outside the screen. Most of the alchemy lamps in the hall were extinguished, only a strong light illuminated the central stage, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. The central light just casts Reshi’s shadow on the screen. When they looked at the screen, they would see Rexi’s shaking shadow.

“Could it be that you suspect that I drugged him? You really know how to joke. I am a bard, not a pharmacist. How can I have that kind of ability. What’s more, what’s the benefit to me?”

“Lexi, you are my friend, and I will not make you unjust. You have helped us, and I am grateful for this kindness. And I have promised your request, and I will never go back. But please remember Come on, Antoine is also my friend. If one day you are against him, I can’t just sit idly by.”

At the climax of the charming dance performance in the hall, the lights keep flickering and changing colors in accordance with the dancers’ steps, so Lei Xi’s shadow also flickers on and off, flickering on and off.

“As you say. Isn’t Antoine also my friend?”

After speaking, the shadow slid out of the screen. Rachel left.

After Enzo leaned out from behind the screen, he watched the bard leave. He didn’t return to his original position until he saw the bard stepping out of the gate.

Giuliano remained silent. When Enzo talked with Lei Xi, both sides burst out with terrifying courage, which made him unable to breathe, let alone interrupt. After Leixi left, the indescribable sense of oppression disappeared.

“What do you mean by your last words?” he asked nervously. “Lacy will be against Antoine?”

Enzo brushed the hair on his forehead with a heavy expression: “Didn’t you notice the way he looked at Antoine? Very expectant, very fanatical, very… unusual.”

“That look…wrong?”

“It’s that look you get when you want to mold someone…no, exactly into what you want them to be.”

“I don’t think there’s anything unusual about it. Have you seen that look before?”

“I’ve seen it many times. I’ve seen it with my teacher, and I’ve seen it with other teachers and parents. There was a time when I looked in the mirror every time I saw that look in the mirror.”

He turned to Giuliano, his gaze softening. “But not now. I’ve let go. You have the freedom to choose.”

Giuliano was puzzled, and just about to ask him to clear up his doubts, but there were enthusiastic cheers in the hall, and at the same time, all the lights were turned on together. He was almost blinded. He covered his eyes, waiting to adapt to the sudden light, when suddenly, he heard a thin female voice: “Enzo!”

With a “bang”, someone hit the screen. Giuliano was so frightened that he ignored the pain in his eyes, and immediately opened them, only to see a tall brunette woman appearing from nowhere, rushing towards Enzo with tears in her eyes. She was wearing a low-cut tights, and her full **** swayed as she ran, which was quite eye-catching. Enzo sat where he was, looking at the woman in surprise, the shocked expression on his face was not pretended.

“Enzo! You are back! I miss you so much! I thought you were dead!” The woman threw herself on Enzo, wrapped her arms around his neck and cried loudly.

“Uh… Jane…” Enzo said, his voice sounded like the moan of a seriously injured person dying.

Giuliano looked at him indifferently.

The prostitute named Jian Ni let out a coquettish cry, and beat Enzo’s chest with her fists continuously—of course it would not cause any harm, but it attracted the envious eyes of many people nearby. Giuliano guessed that her status in the brothel was not low, and many people lined up waiting for her to spend the spring night together, and she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, which was a blessing that she couldn’t even ask for.

Enzo’s face was ashen. If a rope was put around his neck, he would look like a dead man who had just been hanged.

“Jenny, I…” He pushed the prostitute away in embarrassment, “it’s not convenient to talk here, go to my room.”

“What about your room? Why don’t you stay in my room. I’ll push away other guests and just serve you, okay?”

“Jane!” Enzo raised his voice, this time with a commanding tone, “I live in the ‘Quiet Room’ now!”

Jane pouted: “Well, don’t be angry, just go…”

She held Enzo’s left arm, wishing she could hang herself on him. Enzo winks at Giuliano to follow. (Of course, all of Jane’s attention was focused on Enzo, and she didn’t even notice that there was an alchemy lamp ball in the way.) The three left the hall and entered a spacious corridor. There are several gates on both sides, all of which are closed tightly. From behind the gates, joyous high-pitched shouts or ambiguous whispers can be heard from time to time. Needless to say, they are places where prostitutes and clients do their business.

There is a red spiral staircase at the end of the corridor. When they were about ten steps away from the stairs, a woman in a water-blue dress descended slowly from the stairs. She has smooth and supple waist-length black hair, fair complexion, and looks like a northerner. Unlike the revealing Jane, she is tightly wrapped up and down, and the wide skirt trails behind her like a goldfish. The neck and jade arms make people think about it.

If Jane is a hot beauty, the woman in blue is a noble saint. For a man, it is more exciting to defile the purity of a saint than to sleep with an ordinary woman. But in the final analysis, she is just a prostitute in the “Flower Spring”, Giuliano thought, probably taking this route to attract customers, and brothels also have to provide various types of prostitutes to meet the different needs of customers.

His expression became more and more indifferent.

When the beauty in blue saw Enzo, her charming eyes widened in an instant, as if there was a glint of light flowing in them.

“Enzo…it’s you…” Her voice was soft and soft, “I thought you…”

She ran towards Enzo quickly, but stopped before reaching her, suppressing the excited look on her face, pretending to be disdainful: “You, don’t get me wrong! I don’t care about you at all! It’s good if you die, sir Harm others! I won’t wait for you…” She said disgusting words, but her expression was about to cry, which was very pitiful.

Jian Ni grinned and rubbed Enzo’s arm with her enlarged breasts: “Oh, Carona, since you don’t want Enzo, then I will have him!”

“You!” The woman named Karona glared, “Stay away from him!”

“No, hee hee! Go away, don’t hinder us!”

“You can stay by his side, why can’t I! Get out of the way!”

Enzo looked at the angry Karona with eyes like a dead fish. “Enough, don’t make noise, I live in the ‘Quiet Room’, if you have something to say, go there!”

He climbs the stairs. This time, not only the left arm, but also a woman was hanging on the right arm, followed by Giuliano who was not cared about. The young apprentice was filled with disgust. He knew that Enzo was a frequent visitor to the brothel, which can be seen from his understanding of “Flowers Spring” and the attitude of the manager Jia Ao, but he never expected that Enzo was actually a man of the hour here, who could make the two kingdoms The gorgeous beauty is jealous of him. Enzo, oh Enzo, I really underestimated you. hehe.

They went up to the second floor and were about to go to the third floor when a door in the corridor on the second floor suddenly opened, and a woman in a black leather corset, knee-length high-heeled leather boots, and a whip in her hand was pacing. out. She has a dark complexion, like a southern nation who is good at sailing, but she has silver hair, and her walking posture is like a queen on a tour. Giuliano was not at all surprised if someone knelt at her feet and licked her boots.

“Hey, isn’t this Enzo?” The woman showed a slight surprise, and then a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, “Miraculous things happen every day, especially today. You haven’t come for a long time, and I thought you were dead. Yours.” She tugged at the whip in her hand, “Since you can still breathe, would you like to play with me?”

If a fissure gushing out of sulfurous flames was opened in the ground, and a demon with a horned head jumped out of it, and Enzo was bound to suffer in endless purgatory, he would probably jump into it willingly.

“Philippa…why you…forget it, don’t say it, if you insist on it, come with me to the ‘Room of Tranquility’.”

“You live in the ‘Quiet Room’ now? I’m so surprised, I thought you would choose one of them.” Philippa swayed towards Enzo, “You’re not good, I will punish you later.”

“…forgive me.”

Another one. Giuliano thought unhappily. First the hot babes, then the saintess, and now a whip queen. Enzo, oh Enzo, are there any women in this brothel that you haven’t slept with? No wonder your skills in bed are so superb, you must have practiced with them! Thinking of this made Giuliano feel sick. He hangs out with prostitutes, and uses the skills he learned from them on him, making him like them… He’s about to throw up!

A group of people climbed to the third floor. Giuliano soon discovered that he was naive.

A man with purple hair stood in the corridor, staring at Enzo dumbfounded. He was handsome in appearance, he was originally a handsome young man, but he was painted like a woman, which seemed a bit ridiculous.

“Enzo! Are you Enzo! Are you still alive? Are you not a ghost?”

The purple-haired man threw himself at Enzo: “I hate you so much, you enemy! How many tears have shed for you, your eyes are swollen from crying! Hmph! You still have a conscience, know how to come back!”

Giuliano got goosebumps all over his body. There are still men! he thought in shock. In addition to all kinds of beauties, there are actually men! No, he should have thought of that earlier. What did Jia Ou say? “Girls and boys miss you, cry for you every night.” what. Interesting. It turns out that Enzo’s taste is so eclectic. Not to be underestimated!

Enzo’s face looked like a thousand-year-old corpse that had just been dug out of the grave. “Ledo… that’s enough, that’s enough, don’t say anything, go to the ‘Between Tranquility’…”

“Honey, your complexion is so bad, is it okay? My room is next to it, go and have a rest!” the spontaneous man said with concern.

The three women yelled at the same time: “Who is going to your kennel!”

So, surrounded by the four beauties, Enzo entered the corridor on the top floor. It is very quiet here, with a solemn atmosphere of isolation, separated by a floor, the bustling brothel below, but as silent as a tomb above.

A group of people entered the innermost room.

The room is very spacious, luxuriously and comfortably furnished, and the wool carpet under the feet looks like a valuable high-end product, softer than ordinary people’s beds. An exotic couch, a brass drip clock, a walnut wood table covered with gold, a clean white tea set, and the most eye-catching thing is the large bed in the center of the room, which is big enough for four or five people, and the bed is covered with smooth red velvet bedspread. There was a row of wooden shelves on the wall, which were filled with all kinds of “toys”. Giuliano just glanced at it and turned his head with a blushing face.

It can be seen that this is not a place where ordinary customers can afford to spend, only those who spend the most money can enjoy it.

“Oh, what a big bed, all of us can lie down. Why, Enzo, do you want everyone to play together?” Lei Duo asked tenderly, “I don’t mind, you haven’t come for so long, why don’t you come here?” Let’s have a good time with you…”

Enzo shook off the four handsome men and beauties, strode to the table, pulled out the chair and sat down, his stern eyes swept over everyone’s faces.

“I didn’t come back this time to have fun.” He said seriously, “I don’t want to see anyone, and I don’t want you to serve me. The less you know, the longer you live. You have been in brothels for so long, and you have been in your current position. Everyone is the best of the best, so you must understand what I mean.”

Silence enveloped the room. “Between the Silence” is as silent as its name.

Karona sobbed, breaking the silence: “You…don’t want us…?”

Although the others didn’t speak, they all showed the same meaning in their eyes.

Enzo’s expression softened a bit. “You have never belonged to me, why do you say ‘no’. I always remember the happy times I spent with you in the past, but it is different now.”

He leaned back in the chair, looking very tired. “Go ahead, do what you have to do, don’t bother me, just pretend you’ve never seen me.”

“I knew it! You men are always on the move, and there is no good thing!” Karona yelled angrily, turned around and rushed out of the room, and her miserable cry came from the corridor.

Enzo held his forehead: “You pass on my words.”

“What a heartless man, but which of the clients of ‘Flowers Spring’ is not like this?” Jane walked towards the door coquettishly, “If you change your mind someday, I still welcome you.”

Philippa followed her out: “You deserve to be punished, bad boy. Give you a taste of my whip, and you’ll never leave me again.”

“Damn it, you bastard, Karona is right, there is nothing good about a man!” Ledo nodded Enzo’s head.

“Aren’t you a man!” Enzo said dissatisfied.

Ledo leaned into his ear, “I’m also bad, Enzo.”

He covered his mouth, covered his smile, and walked out of the room. When everyone left, they looked at Giuliano who was leaning against the door inexplicably, with expressions on their faces that seemed to say: “Who is this guy? When did he come?”

Of course you don’t notice me. You put all your attention on Enzo, so you wouldn’t notice me, my little follower who doesn’t have any sense of existence. he thought sullenly.

After the sound of everyone’s footsteps disappeared from the corridor, Enzo reached out to him: “Come here.”
