Sitting in the office of the jewelry store, looking at the magic wall clock on the wall, his eyes moved slightly with the second hand, but his mind had already flown to the phoenix.

Phoenix, they may be traveling with Emily's team right now.

After all, Dasai City has a vast area, there is no shortage of mountains and rivers, secluded and secluded places, which can not only be pleasant, but also calm the nerves, and it is simply a paradise for the elderly.

If it weren't for this kind of, I guess I would be eating and drinking with the phoenix now, having fun and being leisurely.

Sigh deeply, express deep regret, and at the same time, transfer the resentment to the side of the lending organization: when you bastards are caught, they will be cramped and tortured for several days and nights before they can relieve their anger.

He was muttering to himself when he heard a knock at the door.

I straightened my posture, sat down, and said in a loud voice, "Please come in." ”

The door was pushed open, Anna was dressed in a formal suit, her expression was natural, and she said, "Store manager, the messenger of the lending organization is here." ”

"Okay, I got it."

I stood up and went out with her, and when I got to the corner, I brewed my expression, turned my previous indifference into great excitement, and rushed out in stride.

As soon as I saw the fat face with the eyebrows of the thief, I was surprised and panicked, and said excitedly: "Big brother suddenly came, why didn't you notify me in advance!" ”

The fat boss smiled and said, "Isn't it for fear of delaying your business?" ”

"Come, come, please inside!"

I enthusiastically hugged the fat boss into a special room and took a pot of tea.

After entering the secret room and pouring tea, I said, "Big brother suddenly came here today, does it mean that the bastards who beat me yesterday have been found?" ”

I saw him smiling with a lewd expression, and said, "I won't tell you, brother, you are blessed!" ”

"What blessing?" I was confused.

"I told the boss yesterday, he heard it, he was very angry, and decided to personally send people to help you out, let me tell you, the boss has always regarded himself very highly, and he will never stand up for someone casually, but this time he made an exception for you, it can be seen how much the boss attaches importance to you!"

I was overjoyed and said, "Really! That's great, it's just great! Then big brother, you have to thank the boss for me, and help me say a few more kind words to the boss. ”

"You don't need me to do it, you better tell the boss to go by yourself" The fat boss smiled: "Didn't I say it just now, you are blessed, our boss, decided to meet you in person, understand?" ”

"See me in person?" I was at a loss and said, "That, how is that good, he is such a great character, he wants to see me, I, what clothes should I wear, I won't lose my temper when I go, I ......"

"Stop" the fat boss said: "You don't need anything, you just need someone to go, it's fine, understand?" ”

"Yes, I see," I nodded repeatedly, my face overflowing with excitement and unease at the same time.

"After a while, you can pack up, bring some greeting gifts, and you can go with me," said the fat boss.

The meeting gift is naturally more expensive, but it should not be too expensive, too expensive and easy to be suspicious.

With a gift, blindfolded, and followed the fat boss, he made nine turns all the way, and finally stopped, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's here, you can take off the blindfold." ”

I ripped off my blindfold, squinted, and looked around.

The light here is not strong, but it is not weak, and there are many people gathered around, but not as many as expected.

After getting used to it for a while, I opened my eyes and found that everyone present was looking at me, they were humans, there were orcs, Terrans were the majority, orcs were in the minority, and there were even a few goblins and dwarves.

At this moment, the fat boss was smiling, signaling to me that a middle-aged man was sitting not far away, and said, "That's our boss." ”

"Hello boss!" I bowed first, hurriedly stepped forward, handed over the gift, and said, "Be careful, not respectful." ”

The middle-aged man took the gift, opened it, and said, "I'm bothering you." ”

I said yes, yes.

The middle-aged man said: "He has already told me everything about you, you have suffered." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, patted me on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, I will help you get justice." ”

"Thank you very much," I bowed.

After that, the fat boss began to introduce me to all the people present, including shopkeepers, small nobles, middle nobles, and even big nobles, but at a glance it was clear that they were at most the 'big nobles' of the middle aristocracy.

The shops of these people are very widely distributed, and can reach half of the city of Balan.

No wonder they dared to challenge the majesty of the New Valorant Guild and the Boulder Guild, it turned out that there were their people in the small half of Balan City.

At the same time, I felt sad for their presumptuousness and arrogance, and after a long time, there was no decent nobleman in this stronghold, which was really cold.

After meeting most of the people, we went to the banquet again, saying that it was a wine banquet, but it was just wine mixed with water, and a lot of slightly expensive food.

I can safely say that the food on any one of these food shelves is not as expensive as a steamed white fish.

I cut a slice of roast beef leg and tasted it, it was half-cooked, it didn't taste good, and it wasn't a high-quality black beef, it tasted slightly worse, but under the watchful eye of the fat boss, I had to put on a 'wow, it's delicious' expression.

In order to dilute the salty taste in my mouth, I poured two more sips of wine mixed with water, and the result was that my mouth became a bad wine taste that was not salty or light.

This was good, I couldn't get rid of the unpleasant taste of anything, and in the end, I had to resist the urge to vomit and show a stiff smile.

The banquet was finally over, and I felt like I was near-alive.

Although I was not a great nobleman, I often ate with the royal family, and sometimes, I would discuss some things about aristocratic etiquette and customs with the royal family.

Among them, this includes the aspect of diet.

In the eyes of the royal family, only the big nobles who have been canonized are nobles, and as for the middle and small nobles, in their eyes, they are nothing.

Therefore, I can be sure that none of those present were truly nobles.

There is another way to judge, and that is wine.

Yes, there may be a certain nobleman who is not picky about the taste of food, but there must be no nobleman who is not picky about the taste of wine.

After all, wine is one of the most well-known beverages in the Zephyr Continent!

In many cases, wine is no longer a simple drink, but a status symbol.

The great nobles must be people who care a lot about their status, and in the same way, they will also care a lot about the taste and grade of the wine.

A wine that is mixed with water, no matter how expensive it is before it is watered, and after it is mixed with water, it is worthless.

Worthless wine is not worth drinking with status, this is an unspoken rule that has always been circulated among the major aristocrats.

That's what Yura once told me at the dinner table.

By the way, Yura's family is a well-known nobleman in Ari City.
