Chapter 788

The melodious music in my ears, the flying skirt in front of me, and the goblet with a layer of amber halo in my hand.

This is Mallory's night life. It seems gorgeous and leisurely, but it will be boring after a long time.

Not to mention those guys who come up to chat with you from time to time, but pull around and hide their attachment. To be honest, none of what those people said was down-to-earth.

Compared with Marca, who is still thinking in his office, Mallory's life is much more luxurious, and he doesn't have to worry about this and that. However, this is not the life he wants.

"... good evening, master Augustine. It's a surprise to meet you at this dance... Haven't you chosen your first partner tonight? I wonder if the little girl is lucky..."

Marlowe sighed in his heart, but he had to put down the glass in his hand for the time being and tried to add a false but perfect smile to his face.

"Oh, Mr. Shackleton, hello..."

This is a bald middle-aged wizard with a big belly. Mallory still knows him. Not only did he know each other, but he could recite all the other's family background smoothly, even the name of the other party's granddaughter who had just been born a few days ago.

No, if you think the Shackleton family is an outstanding wizard family, you are very wrong. Mallory still remembered that the last time he saw the bald head was more than half a year ago. At that time, the goods were just an ordinary material merchant.

But now it's different.

Due to the recent Hogwarts alchemy competition, the trend of alchemy suddenly swept through the global magic world.

Although the champion of that event is still under complex trial, and there is no update on Nicole LeMay's legacy, the effect of alchemy can be publicized, but it has already been achieved.

Shackleton, an ordinary material merchant for generations, made a lot of money this time because of the source and reserve of alchemical materials.

To put it bluntly, this is just a nouveau riche.

However, whether it is a rich family background or a so-called upstart. Any object with practical interests is worth making friends with the Augustine family.

No, if you have to say, as an Augustine heir who has been taught by the family since childhood, Mallory will not make any words and deeds that are not in line with his status.

Even if he only wants to be alone now, he can still smile when it's time to communicate. Because what his face represents is actually the Augustine family itself.

"Oh, Miss Shackleton, your eyes are as intoxicating as the wine in this cup. I think I'd like to invite you to slide into the dance floor with me and beat a comfortable pace with the same intoxicating music..."

One sentence after another, Mallory knew he would never be poor. Because he has been copying and reciting all kinds of "qualified" and "useful" sentences since he was very young.

These words can be said by any woman of family value, and they must be said well and completely.

Augustine family, a famous wizard family thousands of years ago, is an ancient wizard family with profound heritage.

Unfortunately, although the vast majority of outsiders do not know, Mallory knows as the designated heir. That is, the family is not as good as before.

Before long, after dancing with the older "Miss" whose appearance and figure were very ordinary and whose palm was still rough, Mallory returned to his original seat again.

Yes, he participates in the activities of this "upper class" Wizard society almost every day, and he is tired of it.

"Alas..."

He shook his head gently, didn't say anything, just picked up his glass again and took a sip slightly.

In fact, sometimes he would think about something again - if the wedding had been held as promised, would his life be better than now?

Maybe!

However, some things are past; Some people, miss is miss. Even though the repentance was the fault of the woman's family, Augustine now has no confidence to argue with each other.

The horse, with the liquor and the aroma in his mouth, was thinking. Suddenly, he found a figure passing through the corner of his eyes. Even if he knew, someone came again.

However, when he put down his goblet again and planned to "deal with" as he had just done, he suddenly had a little meal.

There are two reasons for Mallory's pause: first, the "Lady" who came to him is a very eye-catching beauty; Second, he doesn't know.

On the second point, don't underestimate him, Mario Augustine!

Not to mention those old forces in the world, he can recite them backwards according to the genealogy. Even many "upstarts" who have risen in modern times are making up his understanding every day.

Just like the bald head just now, it belongs to the typical latter.

Moreover, at his age, the most important thing to pay attention to is these unmarried women with little difference in age. It is reasonable to say that he can remember the names and looks of girls worth paying attention to, which is even more important than his recitation of magic spells.

"The families who can attend this dance have some foundation..." Mallory smiled and kept recalling the atlas in his study, "but... Whose daughter is this?"

Looking at the beautiful woman with graceful figure getting closer and closer, Ma Lue, who couldn't turn over the relevant memory, had to press his thoughts and prepare to press the scene with set words first.

Maybe a few more words will remind him of something?

However, Mallory's thought was doomed to be in vain. Because before he could take the initiative to speak and maintain his respect for women, he saw the other party turn slightly in front of him and sit down at an empty table next to him.

There is no doubt that Mallory is embarrassed now, but he is also happy.

If the other party had just taken another step this way, he would have opened his mouth. At that time, the scene he will encounter is ignored by a woman on the spot.

This scene not only had a great impact on his face, but also on the Augustine family he represented.

Such negative effects are obviously not great, but they can not appear without the decline of the Augustine family.

Had it not been for this, he would not have been so tired in the life of Mario Augustine!

After pretending not to look at someone on the dance floor, Mallory leaned back in his chair again.

His sight was mainly in the direction of the beautiful girls in the middle of the dance floor, but the remaining light in the corner of his eye couldn't help glancing at the woman just now.

What exactly is the origin of this woman? The previous turn... Did she mean it?

Who knows, when Ma slightly looked more and planned to take back his sight and hold up the glass, the woman took the initiative to look at him.

What made Ma slightly angry was that the woman not only looked, but even raised her glass and gave him a slight sign. A smile with some deep meaning made Ma Lue gently draw his fingers with a goblet.

Sure enough, it was intentional! Moreover, this can be said to be mocking him!

"It's really..." Mallory also reluctantly raised his glass, at least he didn't lose his courtesy, "well... It's really beautiful..."

Although my heart is a little confused, beautiful things always give people a natural favor. What's more, I've never seen a woman who would tease him like this!

Even if the operation of the family is worrying, outsiders do not know. In the eyes of other families, Augustine is still famous and has always been a strong "thigh".

"And very personality."

Marlowe suddenly felt that there was a touch of fresh color in the boring ball hall, which was particularly clear in the gray, white and black boredom.

Of course, it just raised his interest.

In the face of expanding communication on behalf of the family, an unknown beautiful woman is not enough for him to pay too much attention - the education of his heirs from small to large tells him that everything will serve the great cause of the family.

With a sigh of relief, the horse smiled slightly at each other, then turned his head and stopped looking at her.

However, although he doesn't want to study deeply, it doesn't mean that the other party is no longer entangled.

Five minutes at most. When Mallory said a few words with a male wizard who came to "chat" and saw him off, the woman took the initiative to come again with a wine glass.

"What are you going to do..."

Marlowe watched her pass by his seat, and then sat down impolitely opposite the round table. On the face as soft as jade, there was a subtle smile as just now.

"Good evening, master Augustine," said the woman with a smile. "It's hard to see you so busy at the ball, as if every girl wants to dance with you?"

The woman had a smile on her face and every word she said seemed to be a compliment, but how could it sound ironic?

"It's all the love of ladies. How can it be said that it's hard... This beautiful lady, I don't know if I'm lucky to know your name?"

At first, Marlowe said the usual words without changing his face, but then he went straight to the place where he was most puzzled. It can be seen that he was very curious in the bottom of his heart.

The other party heard the speech, but some carelessly picked up the hair on his shoulder, and his eyes dropped slightly.

After making the horse wait for a few seconds, she gently lifted her lips and slowly said:

"My name, master Augustine, is probably unheard of, but it doesn't matter, because soon you will keep it firmly in mind..."

"I don't have a last name, but I have a name I like very much - it's called 'Milian'."
