Chapter Seventy-Five: The Big Shot
After Ryan Kelly greeted Leonie, he led Miles to the end of the long table and sat down slowly, while Miles sat quietly beside his father. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As if to win the admiration for the lack of mistakes along the way, the old marquis began to whisper to him about the members around the long table, and it had always been his brother who had the privilege of participating in such an event in the past, and Miles was immediately excited, and carefully took note of each one.
Along Leonie's arm, the members of Platinum Amber were lined up, all of whom were famous and powerful figures in Worms and even in the whole of Wotan, and at this moment sitting at the same table with them, Miles couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Ryan Kelly introduced them next to each other, and the first person sitting on the countess's left hand was her brother, Felix Conrad, and the second on the left hand was Florey Meyer from the Meyer family, the young man who had just quarreled with Hilton.
Sitting on Flory was a middle-aged man with a mustache, his eyebrows were thin and long, not like a man's, but like a woman's, and it was difficult for Miles to know such a characteristic look, and he recognized this person as Azer Corbetta, the leader of one of Worms's largest mercenary groups, the Clowns.
In the seat below Kobe Tower sat a dwarf, so short that he had to sit on a high cushion to get his well-groomed face out of the table and look at the others flatteringly.
Miles couldn't help but rub his eyes, he had never seen such a dwarf, he had the impression that the dwarves were all bearded, dark-faced, and smelled of alcohol, and they were either striking iron or drinking every day?
"Canan, molten fire," said the old marquis's deep voice in Miles' ears, with a slight disdain in a tone that only the two of them could hear:
"The dwarves of the Molten Flame Clan, under the hands of the craftsmen, the Conrad family gave them a territory to live in Orlan, don't care too much about him, just a small person-"
Just then, Kanan looked over at Miles, and the two eyes collided, and the dwarf hurriedly showed a flattering smile.
The young man of the Kelly family hurriedly turned his face away after an embarrassed response, and thought to himself, "Didn't anyone ever tell him that his smile was really unpleasant?"
Turning his eyes away from what his father had said of the little man, he looked back at the people on Leonie's right.
The first person to sit at the head was an old man in good spirits, although his hair was already as white as snow, but there was no trace of old age on his face, and Miles was in a trance for a while, only thinking that this person might not be more than forty years old.
Dressed in shiny silver armor, he was the only one in the room wearing thick armor, which made him stand out.
"Rodford, Blank—" The Marquis of Kelly did not explain much about this man, except to say his name.
Miles had already guessed in his heart, and when he heard what his father said, he was shocked in his heart, and it was indeed him.
As the head of the Conrad family's private army and commander, Rodford was extremely famous not only in Worms, but also in the whole of Wotan.
and the "cornerstone" of the Kingdom of France, Bedville Lake, became the two great knights of the South, which shows that he is highly evaluated, and now sits first on the right-hand side, even before the "Pirate Empress" Hilton, showing his extraordinary status.
Known as the "Sword Dancer", the old hero Miles has long admired, and his legends can be told casually for a day and a night, whether it is his legendary cursed magic sword: Blood, or his self-created "Waltz" swordsmanship, which was once a dream that Miles longed for in his youth.
In the midst of the sigh, the young man slightly put away the excitement in his heart and continued to look down with his father's introduction.
Sitting behind Rodford was naturally the bohemian-looking female pirate "Lace Hilton", who still looked absent-minded, and looked at Florey Meyer opposite her with a displeased face.
"Michael Benaj, the man of the craftsman's hand—" Ryan said lightly.
Miles frowned, turned his head to look at his father with doubts, and asked softly, "Isn't the president of the Craftsman's Hand Master Eskir Loningsbakken?"
Nodding, as if satisfied that his son was able to find out the name of the Craftsman's Hand Leader, Marquis Lane patiently explained, "Benaj is the Vice-President of the Craftsman's Hand, and he is said to take care of everything in the Craftsman's Hand, Master Eskil—"
The old marquis hesitated for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose playfully and said, "The master has devoted all his energy to technical research, and has no intention of meddling in these mundane things. ”
After speaking, regardless of Miles' other questions, he skipped this topic directly and introduced the following:
"That's Miss Leonie's sister, Susie Conrad," said the Marquis, in a slightly lower tone, "an illegitimate child too." ”
Miles suddenly said, "Why, although this Miss Susie also has long dark blonde hair, between her eyebrows is not quite similar to the heroic Felix and Leonie, but is more subdued, and it turns out that she is an illegitimate child like Noah.
"The light is above—" Miles whispered as he saw the man sitting under Susie's hand, dressed in a sacrificial garment made of white cloth, with two smooth pure white silk ribbons draped straight down his shoulders.
"Rom Shuna, Bishop of Worms Cathedral, did you see it when you came?" Miles certainly saw, and he had been full of praise for the magnificent building.
"The one talking to him is the mayor of the town hall, Michael Blumberg—" Miles turned his gaze back to the fat man with a big belly who was laughing and talking to the bishop, he was wearing a plain wool coat, not as luxurious or characteristic as the others, and if he were walking down the street, Miles would not have guessed that the man in front of him would be the mayor of Worms Town Hall, a member of Platinum Amber.
Sitting on both sides of the back were some of the heads of the chambers of commerce distributed in various countries on the Wotan continent, like the Kelly family, some in Armenes, some in Obotan, and even the Nega Empire, and some families in the Fran Kingdom like the Kelly family, and Ryan introduced them to Miles one by one.
It was evident that the old marquis's introduction had ulterior motives, and the young Miles had noticed that the people at the long table in the whole room were almost divided into two factions.
On the left hand side of the dividing line, almost all of Felix's henchmen were on her left, and on her right side appeared to be the countess's own supporters.
Bishop Schuna and Mayor Blumberg were always talking in a low voice, and it seemed that they had no intention of interfering in the struggle in the meeting, and it seemed that they were staying out of the way, and the dwarves of the Molten Ministry looked like they were flattering to everyone, and the vice president of the Craftsman's Hand was sitting on the right, so he shouldn't be Felix's party.
Miles silently analyzed, or the hands of the craftsmen, like the church, were neutral in the platinum amber.
However, just as he pondered the complicated relationship, the reports of the heads of the houses seemed to have ended, and the words of Countess Leonie suddenly interrupted his thoughts, causing him to raise his head suddenly.
"There is one more important matter to be discussed in bringing you together today, and I would like to leave it to the Marquis of Kelly to explain it. As she spoke, Leonie's gaze extended to the end of the long table, and she looked at the old marquis with a smile.
Marquis Lane owed, got up from his seat and cleared his throat, and the old voice rang out:
"It all started with a letter my son sent me in Roosendaal—"
