Chapter 454 - 308: Path of Fate (3)
Stepping out of the carriage, Malin smiled as he took off his overcoat and handed it to the servant who had already approached, then shook hands with the City Lord who had been standing in the sea breeze for who knows how long.
This was a noble who looked to be of some years, usually by this age, nobles would have long since been hollowed out by a life of wine and pleasures, yet judging from his physique, this one seemed to be a Transcendent.
Not knowing his Sequence, nor the stairwell, but no matter, "Mr. Peter, thank you for your invitation."
"On the contrary, Mr. Malin’s arrival is such an honor for us, we in Rosslyn will surely not disappoint you regarding the selection issue," the middle-aged man smiled sincerely.
Sincere as a child who had done something wrong.
Malin nodded to show he understood, then he followed the lead of various noble lords into the manor.
Entering through the main gate, all Malin could sense was opulence, each marble tile assembling a picture, the carvings on every lamp post, the exquisite bas-reliefs on the stone bridge railings over the little river.
No wonder people say the Farolians waste too much money on the arts.
And art, it’s not that important.
It cannot be turned into bread, nor into milk, only to be destroyed again and again by the ravages of war. For Malin personally, if a piece of art cannot achieve eternity, then it holds no value.
