Chapter 53 Dinah
Colin entered the duke's mansion led by the waiter.

After getting acquainted, the meeting is no longer so formal.

He met Fairmont Hawthorne on the large lawn behind the Duke's mansion.

The latter was holding a wooden club at this time, and after careful observation, he swung the club and hit the small white ball on the ground at his feet.

Beside him were six or seven waiters, some of them were driving a small one-horse carriage, some were holding a towel to drink, and some were simply standing by with their hands down.

Colin walked up to the Duke, and after the latter signaled to wait, he watched with interest.

This sport called "stick ball" is very similar to golf in the previous life.

The same is to hit the ball into a fixed hole.

It's just that the type and refinement of the clubs are still far behind.

Duke Violet hit a ball, and instead of following immediately, he turned his head and said to Colin:

"Play with both hands?"

"Sorry, Uncle Fairmont, I've never played 'stick ball'." Colin waved his hand and declined.

"Then it is even more necessary to learn. Outdoor communication between nobles often chooses this kind of sport."

"If you have a chance, you must learn it." Ke Linxin said that I didn't intend to mix into the aristocratic class, not to mention how difficult this thing is. Believe it or not, I can send the ball into the hole with a single stroke of the wind magic "Mage's Hand" inside.

Fairmont didn't force him either, and said, "Today we have fresh flounder, which was caught from the East China Sea, try it later."

"Yes."

After Colin agreed, he immediately expressed his intention: "Uncle Fairmont, I'm actually here to beg you."

"what's up?"

"It's about...Miss Dinah." Colin felt a little awkward when he thought about the previous events.

Fairmont paused what he was doing, glanced at him, then laughed and said:
"It's a good thing that young people are energetic. Don't be embarrassed. If I go back 20 years, Dinah won't be able to take your turn."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Colin to answer, he immediately turned to the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper and said:
"Go and tell Dinah to pack up and get her contract ready."

Before the steward left, Colin interrupted quickly:

"That... Uncle Fairmont, I don't want to ask you to beg for Miss Dinah, I just want to borrow her for a short period of time."

Colin had just finished speaking when he realized that there seemed to be ambiguity in his words.

Sure enough, Duke Violet showed a slightly shocked expression on his usually calm face, and looked up and down Colin Wayne with admiring eyes for a long time, and finally said with emotion:

"When I was young, I thought I was romantic and absurd, but compared to you, I was a gentleman...

"What do you think, kid, you want someone, but you don't want to raise her?
"Why, Tessa won't give you money?"

The series of questioning made Colin almost overwhelmed. He knew very well that the Duke had misunderstood that he wanted to whore for nothing—literally, for nothing.

"You misunderstood."

He hurriedly explained: "Actually, I just want to ask Miss Dinah for help and cooperate to complete a task."

Thinking that Dinah is from the Duke's mansion after all, and she wants to take out her photo as a publicity, and she must make it clear to the Duke, so she continued:
"Also, do you remember Sir Schiller Mora we talked about last time?"

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"I tried to restore the 'picture machine' he mentioned in the letter..."

Colin briefly described the matter, and finally said: "Therefore, I hope to obtain your consent, and ask Miss Dinah for help."

After listening to Duke Violet, he was rather interested.

After inquiring about the functions of the photo recorder in detail, I said that I must check it out when I have time.

Of course Colin agreed.

However, when it came to borrowing people, Fairmont Hawthorne sneered:
"Your idea is good, but it's unrealistic."

"Huh?" Colin was puzzled.

"Everyone knows that Dinah is from my house. Today I followed you out through this gate, and was sent back in a few days. Soon there will be dirty rumors in Thunder City. The nobles will give dances to each other. Ji Ben is a common thing, but there has never been a precedent for returning it."

"This……"

"Either take the person away, or find another person, you think about it yourself."

……

……

two hours later.

Dinah, in white uniform, accompanied by a maid, boarded the carriage after seeing Colin.

Behind her, several big men were carrying more than a dozen large wooden boxes, and were struggling to load them.

Ke Lin looked at the long convoy and couldn't help but be speechless.

Sure enough, the dancers in the Duke's Mansion are all extraordinary. Not only do they have maids, but they also have more wealth than themselves.

But considering her occupation, it is estimated that the clothes in those boxes are all kinds of dance clothes, which is exactly what Colin wants—there is no need to prepare clothes for filming for her.

……

Several carriages drove out from the Duke's Mansion.

Colin Wayne sat in the first car, looking at the contract in his hand word by word,
The content is not complicated, it is nothing more than transferring Dinah's contractual relationship from Duke Violet to him.

Although the kingdom's decree to abolish slavery has been implemented for many years, it has to be said that it has had little effect.

The nobles everywhere just changed the name of the slave's "sell contract" into a "life contract".

Everything else is business as usual.

Whether it is the reduction of titles, the recovery of fiefdoms, or the abolition of slavery, in Colin's eyes, only Internet travelers can do things. Although all these are more or less driven by external pressure, it is undeniable that Alan's four The world can be called a generation of heroes.

It's a pity that reform doesn't happen overnight, let alone a government order that can completely solve it.

Taking the abolition of slavery as an example, even if the serfs were really completely freed, under the circumstances that the aristocrats still controlled all the means of production and the serfs did not even belong to their own pants, they would still have to starve to death or return to their masters in the end. Choose one of them.

……

When the carriage stopped at the backyard of the Youjin Chamber of Commerce, Phineya and the others had already received the news and were waiting there.

After getting out of the car, Colin looked at a carriage behind him.

Except for his own, the rest of the carriages belonged to the Duke's mansion, and they had to be sent back after sending them off.

Dinah got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

The unfamiliar environment made her somewhat nervous, especially seeing many unfamiliar faces at once.

She approached Colin unconsciously, and continued to use the address in the Duke's Mansion: "My lord...this is...?"

Colin had only mentioned it to the Duke, but not to Dinah herself.

The poor girl stayed peacefully in the Duke's mansion one moment, but was inexplicably sent to a completely strange place the next moment.

However, before Colin could explain to her, Phineya who came forward had already exclaimed slightly:
"Miss Dinah?!"

Colin was taken aback: "Do you know each other?"
