Chapter 302: The Banquet

"Ding Ding Ding Ding~" Balat knocked on the silver wine glass, he cleared his throat and looked around at all the nobles, these are all the 'powers' of his Balat family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Everyone!" Balat raised his glass. "For the arrival of His Excellency the Great Lord!"

"For the arrival of His Excellency the Great Lord!" the nobles present raised their glasses and said in unison.

Benny picked up his glass and gestured, he took a sip of the somewhat astringent wine, and his heart was dismissive of this thing, far worse than in his previous life.

The nobles put down their glasses and put their eyes on the glasses in front of them, the atmosphere was not like a banquet.

"What do you think of me?" Benny smiled and leaned back in his chair, looking at the nobles who were avoiding his gaze.

"It's just that your brilliance prevents me from looking at it directly, Your Excellency, Great Lord. A young nobleman stood up and saluted, and he looked at Benny, his eyes focused on the mark on Benny's forehead. "No one will have any opinion on you. ”

"Benedict Smith. Benny nodded.

"Barna Bennet, Your Excellency. ”

"Ah, the most talented eldest son of the Marquis of Barratt, right?" said Benny, smiling, raising his glass. "At the age of fifteen, he was already in charge of the Bennet family's biggest grain trade. "Benny had done a lot of homework before he came, and he knew everyone here!

"It's over, Your Excellency, Great Lord. Barna gave a reserved salute. "That's not even insignificant compared to you. ”

"You have a good son. Benny gestured to Balat with his glass.

"Stormwind is full of talent, and he's still early. Balart smiled and raised his glass.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and each took a sip from his wine glass.

"The wine is good, is it from Stormwind?"

"It's from North County. Bharart shook his glass. "I heard that you are also from North County?"

"Yes. Benny nodded. "I was born during an orc invasion, so my parents fled with me to Lordaeron. ”

"Then we are fellow countrymen, Your Excellency. Balart adjusted his mind, trying to dim the bright mark in his eyes. "My grandfather, who was also from North County, saved our family's first estate through wine. ”

"That's a shame. Benny put down his glass. "It's a shame that I didn't get to witness the demeanor of a business wizard. ”

"Do you value business?" Bharat was a little strange, he was a high lord, but he was also a priest, and he had never seen a priest interested in business.

"To create wealth and taxes, to make our country more prosperous, business should be valued, Marquis of Balart. "There is no discrimination in this world against merchants, and in this respect, this world is somewhat similar to the 15th and 16th centuries in the previous life, where merchants may not be nobles, but all nobles are merchants, and their thirst for money cannot be sustained by the production of their territory alone.

"Your territory must be very rich. ”

"It's not rich. Benny smiled and shook his head. "We just have some special ----- specialty. Benny clapped his hands, and the ignored guard behind him handed Benny a two-finger box.

"I almost forgot about that. Benny pushed the box down in the middle of the table, and the attendant next to him moved the dish out of the way with great interest. "This is my gift to all of you. Benny spread his hands, and the attendant opened the box, and his face was instantly colored by the light mask in the box.

"A small gift. Benny smiled and pulled out a thumb-sized red gemstone from the double gemstone box, which had been cut into a very regular hexagon. "It's a ruby, a gemstone with a little magic that gives the wearer some power. Benny glanced at the squire, and with a sudden flick, he tossed the gem to the squire who had helped him open the jewel box.

"Try it. Benny smiled and gestured.

Balat looked at the squire, who held the gem and bowed: "It does increase some strength, my lord, about -----1%. "This is obviously not a simple squire.

"The rest of the gemstones all have different effects. Benny took the gem from the squire and placed it in the box. "I like this one more. Benny pulled out a purple gem. "It clears our minds a little more, and I personally like to have him inlaid on the hat. ”

"Magical gem. Balart narrowed his eyes as he looked at the gems, thinking about something.

"Every nobleman gets a box of these gems. Benny closed the box and looked around at the disappointed eyes. "They should already be in your mansion, along with the alchemical potion from Quel'Thalas, and as for the potion effect---- it will keep you full of energy for a whole night. ”

The crowd laughed, and the ladies covered their mouths with a shy look, and only they knew whether they were really shy or not.

"You are such a generous lord. Barrett raised his glass. "For the generosity of Your Excellency the Great Lord!"

"For the generosity of Your Excellency the Great Lord!" everyone toasted.

The jewel box was removed, and the attendant re-served some of the dishes.

"The meals weren't good, far worse than what you made. Benny cut a piece of foie gras, connecting Sylvanas in his mind.

"Enough fun?" Sylvanas raised her glass, hiding the corners of her mouth.

"Almost. "These people have an expression that they have never seen the world, and nothing interesting has happened at all.

"Let's get started. Sylvanas put down her glass.

"Marquis of Barratt. Benny gave up the hard piece of foie gras and looked at the old nobleman who looked up at him from time to time.

"Say, Your Excellency. Bharart listened.

"Have you eaten enough?" Benny asked with a smile.

Balat was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Of course." Balart put down his knife and fork and cleared his throat, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Ladies, I think you must have some ladies to talk about, and my daughter will take you to a quiet place. ”

The ladies stood up and bowed, following behind Linda.

"Ma'am. Linda curtsied over to Sylvanas, her eyes fixed on the fluttering golden silk scarf on Sylvanas.

"Please. Sylvanas got up, glanced at Benny, and followed Linda towards the door.

Balart watched as the last lady disappeared through the door, and he tapped his glass, a crisp sound that filled the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Excellency the High Lord has something to say to us. ”

Benny smiled.

"I'm getting a little nervous about what the Marquis of Barratt did. The crowd laughed good-naturedly as Benny continued. "I think you must be wondering what I'm here for, and given the good dinner we had, I'm glad to tell you that I've come here with goodwill and benefit, looking for a ----- businessman with whom I can share it!"
