In the hall, everyone found a dance partner on their own, some of whom knew each other, and some of whom did not know each other.

Bertha's face stiffened, and she watched as Fox walked up to the stage and took Viscount Yelena's delicate and tender hand.

A handsome male gentleman was attracted by Bertha's appearance and politely extended an invitation to her, but Bertha coldly refused, and the other party touched his nose and had to leave in a huff.

In the bright and glorious hall, specially invited musicians play elegant and beautiful music, and everyone dances with their dance partners.

But Bertha sat alone in the corner of the long table, puffing up a piece of pastry into her mouth.

Huh, it's delicious.

As she put pieces of pastry into her mouth, Bertha looked at Nexus and Viscount Yelena, who were dancing to the music.

She must have done it on purpose!

Bertha thought inwardly with indignation.

·······

"I feel like you're a little nervous, haven't you danced with the opposite sex before?"

Yelena chuckled softly and leaned forward, leaning closer to Kerks, he could even feel the hot breath coming out of the other person's mouth.

"It's okay. ”

Koke wouldn't admit it, but his face was a little embarrassed, and he stepped back, and he pulled a little distance away from Viscount Yelena, and the other party's sudden intimate behavior made him a little uncomfortable. ”

Yelena smiled even more, and Fox was a little depressed, unable to understand what the other party was laughing at

"What a boring fellow, it's not going to please a girl if he's so dull. ”

There seemed to be something deep in what she said.

After a dance, Yelena let go of Kerks' hand.

"The jump was pretty good. ”

The other party gave a pertinent evaluation.

"It's ugly. ”

Knowing the etiquette of the nobility, Fox bowed decently, and then turned away.

After walking around the hall, I found Bertha, who was sitting alone in the corner eating.

"Didn't you clamoring to come to see the nobles' dinner, why do you eat here by yourself?"

Something strange about Kers.

"Nothing. ”

Bertha replied sullenly.

·······

After the dancing session, the real theme of the banquet was about to begin, and Viscount Yelena, after talking nonsense that was used to lay the groundwork, finally pointed to the main purpose of the banquet: to find partners to invest in the joint development of magic energy deposits.

In the end, there are a lot of people who choose to invest. Some of them were fascinated by Viscount Yelena's beauty, and some felt that the development of magic energy deposits was indeed a business that could reap rich returns, so why not participate in such a good thing of making money?

However, there are also many people who belong to the more cautious type, and plan to inquire more about the news before deciding whether to invest in the magic energy stone deposits in Don Lanto City, and no one can say whether helping Viscount Yelena will cause dissatisfaction among other nobles.

But in the end, looking at the smile on Viscount Yelena's face, you can know that the final result should be very satisfying to her.

It was only because Bertha wanted to come and was a little curious about the rumored Viscount Yelena that he came to this dinner, so it was naturally impossible to spend money to invest in any magic energy stone deposits.

And although Wakatin of the Yaori Chamber of Commerce gave him a considerable amount of wealth in order to repay him, enough for ordinary people to squander their lives, it was still insignificant compared to the cost of developing a magic energy stone deposit.

The other party must have invited him not because of himself, but because of the family behind him.

Yelena got the result she wanted, was visibly very happy, and became more talkative.

The banquet continued in a lively atmosphere. In fact, Kers didn't like this kind of lively banquet very much, and seeing Bertha next to him suddenly looked uninterested for some reason, so he felt even more boring.

It didn't go on until late that the feast ended.

The guests left one after another, and some of them collapsed on the table because they had drunk too much, and were supported by the servants to leave.

"I'll go to the bathroom first, and then I'll go back. ”

Nexus stood up and said to Bertha, who seemed to be in a much better mood by this time.

"Okay. ”

Bertha nodded, and walked out, intending to get the carriage ready first, so that the two of them could save some time later.

········

He searched for a long time on the first floor before finding a bathroom at the end of a long corridor, and after solving the problem, he washed his hands and walked out.

"The problem of money is solved. ”

Well?

In the corridor, Fox stopped, as if it were the voice of Viscount Yelena, and the voice seemed to come from a room on the left side of the corridor.

He did not leave, but went to the door and stopped and listened.

"Hmph, if it weren't for that, why would I ask why I want to laugh with this group of guys all night, it's just a bun of dirt buns who have nothing but money!"

Viscount Yelena grumbled.

"Okay, don't complain, Your Highness has already spent a lot of thought on helping to win the right to develop mineral deposits, is it still bothering Your Highness to raise funds?

Moreover, the more His Highness acts, the more likely it is to be exposed!"

The man's deep voice rang out.

His Royal Highness's heart shook, Viscount Yelena has a relationship with the prince of the Sirius Empire?

Originally, I was just curious, but I didn't expect to discover a terrible secret········

He listened intently, not wanting to let go of a word.

"Of course I know that. But compared to that, that Corgi Rosen's safety is okay, right?"

"Hmph, who knows, those scumbags actually let this matter leak out!, but His Highness has transferred a seventh-level magic master, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, and the people around him are all stared at by our people.

But they hired people from the League of Assassins, damn it, they let those secret rats get involved!"

When he heard the name Corgi Rosen, he was even more surprised, that task was really not that simple, how many things were involved?

"But is Your Highness really ready? If Corgi Rosen's research is really applied in the future, it will definitely be opposed by many people!"

"Yes, a thin crystal slice that can be mass-produced can actually store the magic energy spells of high-level magicians, as long as a little magic energy can be activated, the gap between magicians will be impacted, and those high-level magicians who have worked hard to cultivate will probably not accept it, even if many magicians who are loyal to His Highness have defected because of this matter. The man sighed.

"When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be a bloodbath··········

Nexus couldn't believe his ears, crystal flakes, storing high-level magic spells, that Corgi Rosen would have researched such a thing.

If this kind of thing is really popularized, the balance of the entire continent will be broken, and X's heart will sink, and the Sky Wolf Empire will inevitably start a war at that time!

But listening to their conversation, it seems that this is just the private behavior of His Highness in the mouth of the locality.

Thinking of this, Kerr even wandered slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he heard the two people in the room still talking, but the voice became quieter.

Recognizing the seriousness of the matter, Fox went straight to the door so that he could eavesdrop on the conversation more clearly.

But the moment Fox stuck to the door, a wave of magical energy fluctuated suddenly.

A very hidden guard formation is arranged on the door!

"Not good!"

Kex secretly cursed his carelessness in his heart, if he had been cautious before, started the Secret Ring, and hid his breath, even if it was a formation realm alert formation, he would not be able to find himself.

But it had already happened, and remorse was of no avail, so Fox immediately ran outside with his magic energy.

"Who?!"

The person in the room asked sharply.

With a loud bang, the entire door was directly torn apart.

A man of medium stature, square face, and a small beard rushed out of the room.

Powerful fluctuations of magical energy emanated from him, and he rushed outward, radiating his spiritual power in all directions, searching for the location of X.

After running out of the hall, Kerry did not run out of the manor, but jumped directly into a nearby bush, activating the Ring of Concealment, and the unquenchable magic energy on his body disappeared without a trace.

A few seconds later, a figure appeared outside the hall in an instant, and the man who had not found anything in the hall came outside.

His face was gloomy, his eyes were shooting around, and he cooperated with the perception of spiritual power, but he only saw the rich people who had not all left the banquet, and saw the carriages leaving one after another.

A chill flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he suppressed the terrible thought in his heart, if he acted desperately now, I am afraid it would bring even more serious consequences.

Thinking of this, his figure flashed, and he returned to the hall, just as he met Viscount Yelena, who had hurried out.

"What's going on?"

"There was a mouse, but it didn't catch him. ”

Viscount Yelena looked a little worried.

"Will it be ·········?"

"It's hard to say, but let's be careful lately, we don't see each other anytime soon. ”

"Good. ”

·········

Seconds after the man re-entered the hall, Fox quickly sprang out of the grass.

But instead of going through the main entrance of the manor, he went around the side of the house and came under the high wall, and with a slight force on his feet, he jumped directly over the wall.

"Bertha!"

Nexus shouted as he rushed to the last carriage left outside the manor.

Bertha was anxiously waiting for Kerth, not knowing why the other party had not come out for so long, but suddenly heard Kerth's voice sound from behind her, and couldn't help but be startled.

"Young master, how could you ········?"

Bertha's face was full of surprise, and she couldn't figure out the current situation.

"There's a bit of a situation, go back first!"

Fox whispered, and got into the carriage.

Bertha closed her mouth sensibly, didn't ask anything, and immediately drove away quickly in the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Kerry felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat, it was really too dangerous just now, and he was almost caught by the other party.
