I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 173

Chapter 173 The King Arrives

When God closes a door for you, he will also lock the window.

Tu Fu probably has such a mood now. He looked at Miss Weimar with complicated eyes and accurately selected the gift he gave from dozens of hundreds of gifts.

I was afraid of receding just now, and my mind didn't even react for a while.

"Is that...the Life Stone?"

There are connoisseurs with good eyes who can recognize the material inlaid on the ring at a glance,

Can't help but make a tut-tsk sound and sigh twice.

The difficulty of this ring lies in the collection of raw materials. Raw materials often need to be dug deep in the forest. The market is more precious than gold, but the market is often calculated by grams, and they are all extremely small stones.

What is even more rare is the stone of life that can be polished in shape, and it is even more valuable.

Probably even Tu Fu didn't expect that his unintentional act at that time would grab such a big limelight at the banquet.

"Tu Fu, I didn't expect you to keep such a trick."

Klan beside him had a thoughtful expression on his face. No wonder he didn't want to look for other ladies. It turned out that he had found a target early in the morning.

Really... courageous.

Yes, at the ball where princes and nobles were everywhere, he was a mere student who had not yet graduated from the University of Michigan, no matter in terms of status or family background, he was not qualified to come here.

Tricked by fate, Tu Fu not only came, but also saved Miss Weimar's life by accident.

But the problem is, now he himself is stuck.

Eileen Weimar immediately took a fancy to this ring from among the many gifts. Speaking of it, it was a coincidence. After inserting her index finger, the number of circles of the ring fit the shape of her hand.

There was a faint strange light shining on the shiny green stone of life, which made her feel very comfortable.

The melancholy that had been accumulated for a long time suddenly dissipated a lot.

Noticing his daughter's lack of joy, the Duke of Weimar nodded in satisfaction, his eyes sweeping back and forth among the guests, "It's a very thoughtful gift, can you let me know the gentleman who gave the gift."

"Go up, you can't escape, every gift has been recorded by the steward before, there is no better opportunity than now to make friends with Mr. Duke."

Klan quietly stabbed Tu Fu in the back, forcing him to walk out of the crowd blushing.

The strange eyes on the scene immediately gathered on Tu Fu.

Especially the princes and aristocrats from all over the world, they all thought about the identity of the comer with a puzzled look, and there was no such person in their impression.

Tu Fu put his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly and lowered his head to greet him, which made him really look like a well-educated nobleman.

"Dear Mr. Duke, it is a great honor to receive your praise, which really flatters me.

About this gift, it was brought back from the Black Forest region not long ago. It has been forged and polished countless times, and it has the meaning of blessing.

I think only such a gift is eligible to present Miss Weimar, who is more dazzling than diamonds. "

It wasn't until he finished speaking with respect that he took the initiative to introduce his not-so-famous name.

"Tufukape? The discoverer of the elven ruins not long ago."

"More than that, he is also the founder of modern optical research. I heard that he became famous at Columbia University not long ago. He is the leader of Miska's new generation."

"It's just a little guy with good luck, not worthy of our attention."

Even though most of the guests couldn't recognize his face, they had at least heard the name and gave him some appreciation, and some looked down on the nobility on him.

"Not bad boy, when I was your age, I was still hanging around the racetrack and playing field, and I was doing nothing."

The Duke of Weimar thought he had heard some stories about him, and he talked about the days when he was not doing business. The father smiled very kindly, and didn't care that the gift giver was just a boy from an ordinary family.

Compared to this, Mr. Duke cares more about the gift he gave to win the heart of his own daughter.

Omg!

This is a gift from Tu Fu.

When Elena Weimar saw Tufu standing out of the crowd in embarrassment, a burst of inconceivable surprise flashed, and then she tried her best to calm down her excitement.

Even though the eyes under the flat mirror were shining, he still pretended to be calm: "Mr. Capet, thank you, I really like this gift."

"It's my pleasure too."

Tu Fu maintained an elegant etiquette, trying not to lose his appearance as much as possible.

He went back and forth to deal with various problems of the Duke or other people, and in the words of the conversation, he only limited the scope of the gift-giving relationship to the level of friends.

Try to reassure those princes and descendants of nobles who came here.

However, his mind was full of matters about the necklace, and he kept guessing what kind of difficulties the necklace had gone through from Mr. Liz Mason to Göttinghagen.

Under the instigation of fate, it appeared in front of him again.

Thinking of this, Tu Fu couldn't help shivering.

The dance was still going on, and after this insignificant little game, the gloom on Miss Weimar's face dissipated a lot.

She completed the crowning ceremony one by one, wearing expensive clothes.

Under the attention of everyone, the elders of the family, the mayor of Göttinghagen, and the leaders of the University of Michigan gave speeches in turn.

They talked about the burden of social obligations and the enjoyment of rights after the coming-of-age ceremony, until the end of the process, teachers, relatives and friends came forward to congratulate one by one.

This is a long noble etiquette, which inevitably reminds Tu Fu of himself and Sophie.

He has already passed the time for the coming-of-age ceremony. In fact, the Winsters completed the ceremony for him, although it was not so luxurious, and no relatives and friends were invited, and they just had a simple dinner to celebrate until the evening.

At that time, the Winsters were still worrying about the schooling of their two children, and they really had no extra energy to help Tu Fu with the coming-of-age ceremony.

"This is my regret, so Sophie must not be made to feel such a regret."

Tu Fu secretly swears in his heart.

In a few months, we must hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Sophie.

Just when the Duke of Weimar was about to help his daughter complete the last step and put on the crown,

There was a burst of dense footsteps outside the palace building.

"Da da da…"

At this moment, both the servant and the housekeeper maintained a tacit understanding after seeing the visitor, bowed their heads, and greeted the arrival of this great man.

William II is here, a young man with a slightly fat body, two exquisite beards, and a gorgeous royal suit.

Also His Majesty the King of Baia, walking with his hands behind his back.

Beside him was Prime Minister Thilo Sollens whom Tu Fu had met once.

These two big figures at both ends of Baier's power are equal, and it seems that they have made an appointment to show up until the last moment.

They were all smiling, because the presence of each other added a bit of brilliance to the coming-of-age ceremony of the daughter of the Duke of Weimar.

In this country, there is absolutely no coming-of-age ceremony with more face than Miss Weimar. Even if it is a coming-of-age ceremony for a royal princess, it may not be able to invite someone like Thilo Thorens.

"Is it a game between the king and Mr. Prime Minister? Or a struggle between factions? Fortunately, this has nothing to do with me."

Standing in the distance, Tu Fu couldn't help guessing curiously.

This pool of muddy water is by no means affordable for ordinary people, but the most powerful Weimar family in the country is qualified to enter the game.

It's just that in the past they have always maintained neutrality, neither helping nor offending anyone.

Because of the arrival of Wilhelm II, the crowning ceremony was naturally completed by the person with the highest status on the surface. This move can be said to have given the Weimar family enough face.

William II, who likes speeches, brought the atmosphere to a climax amidst a long speech of congratulations.

Before the ball starts, there is one last necessary procedure. When the coming-of-age ceremony in the palace ends, countless fireworks and firecrackers outside the building are ignited at this moment, and countless fireworks are sent to the black paint at this moment. paint the night sky.

"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

Among the colorful fireworks, the explosion is as bright as a shooting star,

The radiance almost turned the world into daylight.

In the daylight-like light, Tu Fu opened his eagle eyes and looked curiously at every guest who came to the coming-of-age ceremony.

The young King William II, after giving the gift, showed a flamboyant smile. His Majesty the King seemed to like to control everything by himself.

Miss Weimar, who was wearing a tiara, was also looking at the fireworks, and she didn't know what to expect in her flickering eyes.

The Duke of Weimar, who was beside her, looked like a bottomless lake from the beginning to the end, but he couldn't feel any other emotions in his hearty and informal laughter.

The nobles, big and small, also talked with each other restrainedly. After the arrival of His Majesty the King, some of the original arrogance had long since disappeared without a trace.

Klan, who was beside Tu Fu, was supposed to invite his female partner to dance a song, but he stopped.

Out of an instinctive reaction, his body trembled tremblingly, and he didn't dare to look directly at his father's behavior.

Because the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Mr. Thilo Thorens,

At this time, I was sitting at the dining table that was so long that I couldn't see the end.

He was probably feeling hungry, casually, indifferently, and carelessly, he stretched out his hand to a plate of roasted duck that was roasted crispy and brown.

Then tear off one thigh of the duck and put it in the mouth,

Taste it with relish.

completely ignored the greasy mouth.
