Hathaway divided things very clearly, her main task was to get those refugees to the Cordillera territory, although the news of the dark region was also needed, but she didn't want to get too involved, after all, the Cordillera Plateau is not a rich place for the underground race, and it can be seen from the previous wars that the impact on the Cordillera Plateau is not great, although there are also underground races, but basically there are no major wars. Therefore, she would rather cooperate honestly than stand out in this kind of thing.

As for Leonardo, he was obviously looking forward to the banquet a little more than Hathaway. As the emperor's favored retainer, he was under great pressure to enjoy honor, but also under great pressure - merit, and he desperately needed merit to prove worthy of the emperor's favor to him. And from the current point of view, the decaying border is undoubtedly the best entry point.

Look at the time approaching, Leonardo. Beirut was dressed up and came to Hathaway's door.

Before he could knock, the door opened from the inside, and Hathaway appeared inside.

"Oh, this is Count Bell!" Leonardo. Beirut's eyes lit up, and he almost habitually uttered the praise, but he finally remembered that the count hated the flowery words, and only praised it very decently.

"Thank you." Hathaway hates people who talk flamboyantly, but not unsophisticated. Today she wore a crimson gown, her hair pulled back behind her head, a diamond hair ornament, and her skin was snow-white and shiny, which was completely different from the visual effect when wearing a magic robe.

"This is ......"

When the innkeeper waiting downstairs saw Hathaway, he almost didn't recognize him. Later, his mouth was open enough to fit a fist, and he didn't react until he got into the carriage, he looked at Hathaway with some curiosity, Hathaway glanced at him lightly, and the shopkeeper immediately remembered her identity as a magician, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The weather is still very hot, but beside Murong Xian's body, there is a faint cool breath...... This is Hathaway's homemade alchemy item, using the knowledge of the magic pattern. In Leonardo. Beirut also has one. The innkeeper pulled out a linen handkerchief from his pocket. wiped the sweat off his head, and couldn't help but envy the two nobles in front of him again.

The same environment, look at how calm and comfortable people are?

Hathaway's gaze looked this way again. The shopkeeper subconsciously shrank his body. Seems to be worried about the smell of sweat on his body. Smoked to two nobles.

Hathaway was amused by the innkeeper's caution, and her eyes turned to the window. Looking at the neatly planted trees on both sides of the boulevard outside the window, there was a bit of warmth in his eyes...... Perhaps due to the influence of her blood, she has a natural affinity for plants, and in Vannal City, I am afraid that only these shady trees are still a considerable attraction.

The destination was farther away than expected, and Hathaway probably didn't like to live in a place like Vannell for a long time. The further you go, the more vehicles there are, and the endless stream forms a long queue. The carriage that Hathaway and the others were riding in was temporarily found by the innkeeper, although it could not be said to be shabby, it was not luxurious, and it was more in line with their current status.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of a piano in the distance, and the carriage skirted a corner of the woods, revealing a rolling ochre-red roof in the distance.

Ahead appeared a wall comparable to a city wall, with arrow towers built on it, and a ditch outside the wall. As the carriage drove over the drawbridge, more and more ochre colors were revealed, and it was a large cluster of villas that were the real high-end residential areas of Vannal, where the famous and dignitaries lived.

Of course, for Leonardo. For people like Beirut and Hathaway, who are used to seeing big scenes, these villas can only be called upscale in places like Vannal, and they are nothing compared to Vermont City and Heidelberg.

In the distance, you can see two tall guard towers, on which soldiers constantly patrol the surroundings, and between the villas, there are also teams of elite soldiers patrolling...... Thinking of the circle of walls and the deep ravine under the walls on the way she had just come, and the only drawbridge that could allow carriages to pass through guò, Hathaway understood that this was the real Vannal, the Vannal City only for those dignitaries to live in.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion with a large manicured lawn in front of the door, on which the owner had built a low, delicate wooden bridge so that the guests would not trample it.

"Come with me, two." The innkeeper got out of the carriage first, and waited for them to get off like a servant.

Hathaway thought that they would have to wait outside the door for a report or something, but she didn't want the shopkeeper to lead them across the lawn and directly through the side door into the mansion.

The hall of the mansion had already been cleaned up, and judging by the arrangement of the tables and the hanging decorations around it, Hathaway guessed that the owner of the mansion had clearly decorated it in the taste of Heidelberg's high society. But the earth bun is the soil bun after all, although this mansion is gorgeous, but it lacks a kind of precipitation of the years, so it seems to be in vain.

There were busy servants all around, but the reason they were busy was to place gifts, which made Hathaway feel a little amused...... She remembered that when she went to the countryside to see the wedding in her previous life, there was a matter of the bride passing through the door to 'show her dowry', but she didn't expect that there were similar customs here.

A young and handsome troubadour sits in front of a piano and plays, and the smooth notes flow from his fingertips, converging into a relaxed and beautiful music, which makes people's hearts liven up.

"Please take a break here." The innkeeper hurriedly said, "I'll go find Radu. Mr. Mamari, and Villach. Mr. Punk. Sir Rogman said that he would go and invite the two gentlemen to accompany him, and that the three of them should be quite conspicuous targets to stay together, especially Sir Rogman, who did not have to wait in line outside, but must be in the small drawing-room at the moment. ”

After saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye, then inquired about a servant, and immediately walked towards the lounge on the second floor.

"What do you guess he's going to do now?" Hathaway turned to Leonardo. Beirut asked.

"Well, if I were him, I would definitely be trying to find a way to prove the authenticity of that knighthood award now, there are many big names present on this occasion today, and it is better to find a few more people." Leonardo. Beirut blinked.

"Yes, Mr. Shopkeeper is still very scheming, and if you want to get his full allegiance, you must be patient." Hathaway laughed.

"yes. How's your thing? "Leonardo. Beirut asked.

"It's not very smooth."

Hathaway shook her head: "Although the lives of those refugees are hard, they are obviously treated as a strange commodity by some people. ”

"What do you mean?" Leonardo. Beirut asked, puzzled.

"You know there's a committee in the camp, right?" Hathaway asked.

Leonardo. Beirut nodded.

"The main composition of this committee is composed of some middle and lower class minor nobles, but behind them, there are some more powerful black hands to manipulate." Hathaway said.

"Black hand? Who are they? The refugees are already so poor, what is there for them to covet? "Leonardo. Beirut asked incredulously.

"Refugees are wealth in their own right, and they can use them for blackmail." Hathaway said.

In the past few days in Vannar City, she has not only been busy around the issue of the underground race, after all, that is not her main task.

Before leaving the Cordillera, she had asked the intelligence agencies to gather all the information about the camp. In addition to this, she also instructed Guise. McKennello sent out to get in touch with his friends in the camp to move the work forward.

The information received from the feedback shows that there are certain difficulties in obtaining these refugees. These refugees, who have lost their country and property, have an instinctive wariness of others...... It can be said that they now believe in the refugee committee to the point of obsessing with Cheng Dù. Although the Commission could not coerce the refugees into doing anything by force, it had fabricated a lie and brought the refugees together, so Hathaway had to eliminate the influence of the Commission on them if she wanted to get them.

"It's really a matter of doing anything!" Leonardo. Beirut couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The quiet in the lounge on the second floor shows that the soundproofing materials used here are of the highest quality, and those who are qualified to sit here are the host's VIPs, and it is difficult for ordinary businessmen to be guests here, but Rogman also has a place here because of his knighthood.

At this moment, Sir Rogman was sitting in a corner of the lounge with a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, whispering to him, and when the innkeeper came to the door, he was looking away...... Seeing the innkeeper, Sir Rogman beckoned, a smile on his face.

A smile appeared on the innkeeper's face, and he was able to make Sir lower his body and greet him, indicating that the knighthood was genuine. From now on, he can also be called 'Jazz' after his name, and he can rank among the upper echelons of society.

"Congratulations, I should call you 'Sir Tegel' by now. It seems that the goddess of fate has rarely sprinkled her brilliance on you, and thanks to you, we are also fortunate to meet those two nobles. ”

When the innkeeper came to him, and before he could speak, Sir Rogman congratulated him with a smile on his face, and then pointed to the man next to him: "This is Ammary from the city of Miharim. Viscount Pugasov, who was one of the highest officials of the Provincial Noble Council. (To be continued......)
