The flow of the Noxus banquet is different from other places: it is a hall with the dome of an ancient castle, and the table in the hall is full of wine and food, which can be eaten at any time.

Banquet attendees, who handed over an invitation in the afternoon and evening, and then entered the hall with their partner—that was more than 20 years ago, and now they ask for two invitations with their female companion—began to casually raise their glasses and engage in relationships; If you are a real VIP figure, you can enter the central circle and be a popular figure; If the main task of the banquet is to stand in front of the rostrum and make a loud toast.

But these guests are mostly small people who ask for help, and most of them do not have such a noble status - only some big people walk into the circle in the center of the hall, talk to each other, and toast to each other.

……………………

In the evening, the remnant sun is like blood.

Outside the monumental fortress, the Kasbah of Himid opens its heavy gates.

Carriages adorned with various family crests stopped at the gates of Himid Castle, and gentlemen and ladies in robes and gowns rushed in, handing out their invitations.

Scarlet carpets, red silk tablecloths, crimson wines......

After carrying Evelyn into the castle's vaulted hall, Trist's eyes were red.

Silently complaining in his heart about the bad aesthetics of the banquet host, Trist found a corner where no one was.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Trist has stepped into the nobility of Noxus, and sensually, these Noxians give Trist the feeling ...... Not as good as Piltover.

Trist, who was silently observing the actions of the guests, easily smelled the uneasy smell of rudeness in the actions of these well-dressed gentlemen and ladies - although they tried to make themselves look like civilized people, Trist was able to detect their inner uneasiness in many of their subconscious actions.

When drinking, my eyes are looking left and right, and I am constantly wandering.

Try to be elegant when eating, but fast.

When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice, but it was still very noisy.

……

Thanks to LeBlah, Trist, who had undergone a true aristocratic training, combined with his own experience in Valoran, quickly discovered some special symbolic meanings in the behavior patterns of these nobles.

Well, that is...... For now, these guests are just getting nobles.

For these guys who don't know the rules of the aristocratic circle very well, it is already very hard to deliberately maintain their posture, and most of them will not be able to lightly get in touch with possible friends, so Trist and Evelyn did not get much attention for a while.

The few interested eyes were focused on Evelyn's body, and although Evelyn wore a robe, the tight robe made her bumpy figure even more attractive.

Lilac skin can mean "ominous" in many places, but in magic-worshipping Noxus, the color represents a different kind of wild allure.

But everyone is not familiar with each other, so at most they are unscrupulous, and no idiot will come over and stage a vulgar drama.

Then, just as Trist drank his third drink, the "lubes" came into the scene.

"Lubricant" is a special term in Noxian aristocratic circles, referring to the socializers who come and go to aristocratic banquets, who, as their name suggests, play the role of lubricant in all kinds of banquets.

The group known as "lubricants" includes men and women, all of whom are self-acquaintances, who are the best at observing words and feelings, and are even more first-class in their verbal skills, and at banquets, they will guide the atmosphere of the banquet and get closer to the guests, basically playing the role of "brokers", "banquet supporters" and "courtesans".

Most of these "lubricants" are the non-descendants of the old nobles and the descendants of the declining nobles, although they do not have much ability, but fortunately they are familiar with the circles and rules of the nobility, in order to survive, they go in and out of various banquet venues, in exchange for their right to survive in Noxus - if there is one of the smoothest people in Noxus, it is probably these guys.

Interestingly, this is actually a very good class for Trist - in terms of slickness, Trist is even more talented than him in spells......

……………………

As new faces that they had never seen before, Trist and Evelyn quickly attracted the attention of a Mr. Lube.

"Two." A mature man in a modest robe and meticulously groomed with long black hair came up to Trist and Evelyn with a wine glass and a woman with heavy makeup, revealing a standard eight-toothed smile, "A rare new character - introduce yourself, I'm Pottsman, Potzman Bull, from the Iron Sword Bull family. ”

Iron Swordbull is a large family, although the talent level of this family is second-rate at best, but it is better because of the large number of family members and the marriage relationship between various forces, so it can be regarded as standing tall - and Potzman is a side child of the Bull family.

"Hello, Mr. Bull, I'm Trist, Trist Utaz." Trist will also smile, "From the Black Forest." ”

Hearing the term Black Forest, Pottsmann was visibly stunned.

For Noxus, the Black Forest is a place that few people will talk about, and after the Pioneer Act was issued, that area has become a tacit "penal colony", and even the Trifali Council has only asked the Black Forest to "don't cause trouble".

And now, a figure from the Black Forest appeared at the banquet?

Fortunately, Pottsmann's "business level" was very good, and although the special name of the Black Forest surprised him, it was fortunate that Trist gave him other information.

Utaz.

Utaz wasn't a common surname, and the Shurima-sounding surname wasn't mentioned much in Noxus - but as it happened, Pottsman actually knew about a Utaz family.

"Black Nightmare?" Blinking (by the way, glancing at the inconspicuous black insignia on the waist of Trist's robes), Bottsman put on a look of astonishment, "If I'm not mistaken...... It's rare for the Utaz family to come out to a feast, and my grandfather once mentioned that you like to devote yourself to your own research - how do you put it, 'Utaz's favorite object of relationship is magic', right? ”

"I really didn't expect that someone would still remember my great-grandfather's words." Trist's eyes widened in disbelief, and the excitement on his face seemed to be fleeting, and then turned into a wry smile, "It's a pity that times have changed......"
