Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 248 Grelint's Friends
As it was approaching eight o'clock, more and more gentlemen and ladies came to the banquet scene, including some superhuman bodyguards in the mid-sequence.

The bright incandescent lamps made them realize the limitations of gas lamps again. The light of ten gas lamps may not be as good as one incandescent lamp, which is far worse in terms of stability and safety.

Earl Hall took a look at the venue and felt more and more that this was a perfect new energy source.

Even though I've heard about the brightness, it's still incredible when I actually see it.

What's more, incandescent lighting seems to be really cheap, and it only takes the efforts of five servants to illuminate an entire wine estate.

Audrey Hall was alone at the party and chatted with the ladies about homely topics until Greint called her away.

The red wine was shining brightly under the light, walking on the bluestone brick road illuminated by incandescent lamps, Grelint introduced to Audrey:
"As early as 200 years ago, Emperor Roselle invented the incandescent lamp, but the high cost of electricity made incandescent lighting a luxury and was once eliminated.

We can see this beautiful scene thanks to my friend Mr. Lewis Harvey, who invented alternating current with his knowledge and knowledge that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. "

He was actually showing off his new friend to me... Audrey looked at Greint in surprise, her mouth opened slightly, and she once again recognized her good friend.

"Mr. Glaint." Lewis glanced at Miss Audrey, but did not call out her name.

In the real world, he doesn't know Audrey Hall, so it's not safe to call out her name directly.

Audrey slightly lifted the hem of her skirt, and nodded slightly to Lewis.

Greint hurriedly introduced to Audrey:
"Miss Audrey, this is the host of this dinner, Mr. Lewis Harvey. Although he is about the same age as me, he is an out-and-out genius."

Then he said to Lewis:
"Mr. Lewis, this lady is the pearl of Backlund and also my good friend, Ms. Audrey Hall. She has a very high piano level. I believe you will like the piano music she plays."

He was showing off Mr. Lewis to me, showing off me to Mr. Lewis... Audrey looked at Greint again in surprise, the behavior of this friend made her feel unbearable.

Lewis took off his half-height silk top hat, resisted the urge to shout "justice", and said softly: "Good evening, Miss Audrey Hall, I will never forget your beauty."

"Good evening, Mr. Lewis." Audrey also greeted Lewis. At this moment, she was the elegant Miss Hall, not the light-hearted Miss Justice.

At Greint's insistence, Audrey got the piano from the performer and played "The Blue Tussock River".

Glaint commented on Audrey's music with half understanding, and said to Lewis: "Miss Audrey's concert will be the best embellishment of this dinner."

Lewis nodded with a smile. Presumably, Miss Justice would occasionally be troubled by knowing Greint.

After eight o'clock passed, all the people who came to the dinner today had arrived. Lewis chatted with many nobles, and many of them showed a deep interest in alternating current.

The chubby Earl Hall came over with a cane and said to Lewis:
"Mr. Lewis, the combination of alternating current and incandescent lamps is indeed a perfect combination, which cannot be achieved by gas lamps."

"Your compliment is the best gift I have received tonight, Earl Hall." Lewis said modestly.

Although the person in front of him is the father of Miss Justice, he is a brilliant politician and businessman. It is best not to associate him with the ignorant Miss Audrey.

Earl Hall nodded and asked, "How many workers are needed if we want the light of incandescent lamps to cover Queens?"

Lewis thought about it for a while. Queens is not that big. It is about one-eighth of Backlund. If it is only used for lighting, two small power stations are enough:

"It takes at least 50 workers to keep the lights on in Queens."

Only need 50 workers? ... Earl Hall looked at the 15 male servants who continued to generate electricity, and suddenly realized that human power generation may not be the only way.

He paused, and said to Lewis with a slightly humorous tone: "Perhaps, you urgently need a large amount of start-up capital."

Come on, no matter if I need it or not, my answer must be yes. This is called benefit binding, and those who don’t need it will be ignored... Lewis waved his cane calmly and said:
"Yes, I don't have a lot of cash in my hand. I really need a lot of money for the construction of the power station."

"We can chat." Earl Hall's tone was much more relaxed. He picked up a glass of red wine from the table and said:
"Let's drink to the light, to the beautiful night."

Lewis drank some wine. He knew that among the nobles present, some of them would become his "friends" and escort them for their common interests.

In the second half of the dinner, the band played brisk music, and the gentlemen and gentlemen at the scene danced happily.

Audrey hadn't communicated with Lewis much from the beginning to the end. She only knew that they were helping Mister "Fate" to do an extremely great thing.

In order not to expose each other's identities, it is most correct to communicate less.

Lewis had no intention of dancing, but he received prom invitations from several ladies one after another, and he could only politely decline them one by one.

After twelve o'clock, the dinner party was coming to an end, and the gentlemen and wives went to the prepared rooms to rest one after another.

Lewis was playing with a coin in his hand, he threw the coin into the air, and silently recited the divination statement:
"There will be trouble tonight..."

Heads up, which means that the divination answer is yes, and there may be trouble tonight.

Lewis grabbed his cane and slipped outside the manor.

For today's dinner, he not only called in some regular police officers, but even brought in the "Mechanical Heart" team to help.

In addition, almost all the nobles who came brought supernatural bodyguards.

Lewis wasn't very worried about the safety of the manor. His only worry was that someone outside would try to make trouble.

Every new change may be accompanied by a battle. The appearance of alternating current will disturb the interests of many nobles and businessmen, and some people will inevitably be unable to restrain themselves.

The crimson moon hangs high, and many stars are twinkling, as if a goddess is watching.

Lewis melted himself into the darkness, and he walked slowly, waiting for something to happen.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lewis' mouth, and his inspiration was touched.

"Let me guess what they will do? There is no doubt that taking action against the nobles in the manor is courting death, unless there are high-sequence powerhouses involved."
