If he had known in advance that the banquet would be like this, Renard would not have come if he was killed.

However, at this point, he could only grit his teeth and endure.

Fortunately, he came relatively late, and after chatting for so long, the banquet finally entered the formal stage, and the Marquis Quentin walked out of the backyard with a smile on his face.

In an instant, all the celebrities in the royal capital who were talking about it closed their mouths, and the originally noisy banquet hall instantly quieted down.

Renard, whose ears were tormented, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, listening to these guys show off their "literary talents" is really no different from being tortured.

He would rather go to war directly with the Cronin family than get along with these so-called celebrities.

When Earl Mackinto saw his father appear, he said to Lei Ye, "If it is convenient for you now, it is better to follow me to meet my father." ”

Renard had no reason to refuse, he nodded and said, "Okay, I feel honored to be personally received by the host of the banquet. ”

After saying that, he turned back to Arka who was surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic ladies and shouted, "Baron Arka please bring me the gift I prepared." ”

This sentence was like a life-saving straw, and Arka rushed out of the encirclement of the noblewomen in an almost embarrassed manner.

He had a worried look on his face, and it was no less difficult for him to deal with these nobles and celebrities than it was to fight on the battlefield.

Looking at the sword box in the other party's hand, Earl Mackinto showed a look of surprise: "My father was born in the battlefield, and he likes to dance with guns and sticks the most, and the Governor has a heart." ”

Reynard showed an undeniable expression, and then motioned for the other party to lead the way, and the two of them walked towards the main table in the banquet hall at the same time.

To be honest, the Marquis of Quentin and Lei Ye imagined that they were quite different.

As the most powerful minister in the kingdom and an epic warrior, his real person looks like an old man in the countryside.

The majesty reflected in the portraits provided by the Gestapo is not even visible in the person himself.

It's hard to believe that this guy in front of him is a hero.

At this moment, the Marquis Quentin was listening to the other nobles pat himself with a smile on his face, and at the same time accepted the gift handed by the other party, and opened it for an exaggerated evaluation.

Judging from the smooth performance of the other party, it must be often due

Pay for such occasions.

It's right to think about it, this old guy has lived for more than 150 years, and his birthday has passed hundreds of times, and the so-called practice makes perfect, even the most idiotic should know how to deal with the situation in front of him.

The process of giving gifts is very fast and takes no more than two minutes per person.

However, there were so many people attending the banquet that even if it was two minutes per person, it would take two days to send them all.

Fortunately, the guests who had been arranged in advance and were able to personally deliver the gifts to the Marquis of Quentin were all of extraordinary status and strong backgrounds.

As the governor of Southern Wilderness County and a rookie in the kingdom's power circle, Renard can naturally be at the forefront.

In less than ten minutes, it was his turn to deliver the present.

Count Mackinto led him to the Marquis of Quentin, and said with a smile: "This is my father, Marquis Quentin." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the eight ladies who accompanied the Marquis Quentin: "These are my stepmothers. ”

The word stepmother is really hard to say, because few of these warblers are older than him.

Renard lightly bowed his forehead, handed the sword box forward without being humble or arrogant, and said, "Marquis Quentin, I wish you a happy birthday, I hope you can like this gift." ”

After saying that, he directly put the gift on the table, and didn't pay attention to the women who were dressed up in a fancy way.

Marquis Quentin naturally didn't care about his faux pas, took the sword box, and his eyes lit up: "I haven't received a sword as a gift for a long time, at least after Marquis Sidney gave the Excalibur Dilandal, no one dared to give me a sword." ”

Durandal Renard thought about it, and was not impressed, but listening to the tone of the other party, it was probably a very famous sword.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Quentin did not open the sword case, but placed it on top of all the gifts.

Renard was a little surprised, looked at Count Mackinto, and said with a smile: "According to the tradition of the Cronin family, the gifts given by distinguished guests should be opened at the end, and they should be viewed by all guests. ”

Lei Ye secretly said that it was a fluke, if he really gave away any garbage, it was estimated that he would be laughed to death by the thousands of nobles present.

Marquin nodded with a smile: "The tradition of the Cronin family is like this, so that the noble status of the guest can be reflected, the Governor may wish to find a place to rest for a while, wait."

I will entertain you personally. ”

Renard didn't refuse, smiling and exiting the crowd.

Lord Governor, the Marquis of Quentin personally accompanied?

The surrounding area suddenly exploded, and it is not difficult to hear from these two sentences that the status of the person in front of him is absolutely extraordinary.

There are only three governors in the entire Arthurian kingdom, the first is Prince White of Hailan Province, who is the governor of Hailan Province, followed by the Marquis of Sidney, the governor of Kale County, and finally the brightest new star of today, the governor of Southern Wilderness County, Renard Duncan.

The person in front of him is so young, and his identity is naturally about to come out.

Fortunately, only a few nobles heard the conversation between the two, so the imaginary picture of being surrounded and touted did not appear.

Seeing Lei Ye leaving, the nobles who were qualified to give gifts to the Marquis of Quentin gathered over one after another, like flies that smelled a stench.

The Marquis Quentin greeted these so-called celebrities with a courtesy smile, without showing any impatience.

Many of these nobles had received invitations for the first time, and they returned to their seats after giving their gifts, with the excitement on their faces to be able to talk to each other.

A certain little nobleman boasted to his companions: "Do you know?

His companion showed a disdainful expression: "Pull it down, I don't know how many times I've heard this sentence." ”

The others chimed in: "It's just a broken brooch, what's new, people are being polite to you." ”

The ridiculed little nobleman showed a sneering expression: "So what, I am qualified to personally hand over the gift to the Marquis Quentin, as for your gift, I don't know which corner it is still in." ”

Renard mingled in the crowd, listening to the discussion around him, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

At this moment, there was a strange whisper next to him: "Hey, by the way, why didn't I see Viscount Neil today, I remember that no matter who held a banquet, he would come uninvited, and every time he had to rush to give some strange gifts." ”

The others also showed strange expressions when they heard this: "Yes, why didn't I see that shameless guy today, I remember that he is still a distant cousin of the Marquis Quentin, so he shouldn't have come." ”

When Neil Lei Ye heard this name, he suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it before.
