Chapter 165: Dark Tide Surging (1)

The conversation between Ax and Duke did not last long, and soon, the Duke Archon personally sent Ax and Casey out of his office, but they each had an invitation card in their hands when they left. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the departure of Ax and Cayce, many invitation cards were sent out from the Archon's office and passed to the various magnitaries of Pompeii. The cards were in the same style as those in Aix's hand, and it was expected that a banquet would be held with all the powerful people of Pompeii.

"How's it going?" As soon as Aix and the others returned to the hotel, Kleist asked them about it.

"It's not bad, at least I wasn't kicked out." Ax casually threw the invitation card on a table, then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, and began to drink tea quietly, Casey and Kleist knew that Ax was thinking, so they didn't bother, and they all quit here.

The place where Aix and the others lived could be regarded as the most luxurious hotel in Pompeii, this was a suite, at this time, Anne was staying in her room, of course he knew that Aix and the others had returned, but for these, he did not care, still playing with his toys.

Suddenly, Anne seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her head to look at a corner of Pompeii, as if after greeting each other, she ignored each other.

And with the invitation of the Duke Archon, the entire ancient city of Pompeii became turbulent, not only on the surface of the sea is no longer calm, but even under the surface of the water, there is also an undercurrent.

In the hall of a chamber of commerce, several richly dressed businessmen were sitting together, discussing something, and no one on the table moved the fine black tea, and it was clear that everyone was preparing for this sudden gathering.

"Guys, what do you think about this?" A thin old man sitting at the top asked.

"President, I don't think this matter is simple, although that Aix himself said that he has no interest in Pompeii and will not be resident here, but his power on the bright side is the Storm Plains after all, although a western limit has been added, but after all, it also belongs to the Storm Plains. And as we all know, we represent Storm Plains, and this event will hit us in the first place. A middle-aged man sitting first on the left hand of the thin old man immediately spoke.

"My lord, I don't think we should take the lead in this matter, since he is under the banner of the Storm Plains, then, why can't we cooperate, although our current forces in Pompeii are not small, but they are always in a state of suppression, if we add them, our future actions will definitely be much easier, and we will get more benefits." A slightly chubby young man sitting in the first place on the old man's right hand retorted, obviously, the relationship with the middle-aged man who spoke before was obviously opposite.

"Then I want to ask, who is the master and who is the second at that time, but don't sell yourself for a little profit in front of you."

"You ......"

"Enough, I asked you to come here to discuss, tomorrow night's banquet is not for you to come here to quarrel." Seeing the two deputies arguing, the thin old man interrupted directly, and then, after glancing at everyone, he said: "I don't care how you fight in private, but don't forget that you are just the agent of the big people here, don't harm the interests of the tribe for your own interests." ”

The old man glanced at everyone, and after seeing that no one refuted, he continued: "As for that Aix, it is stupid to wait until you see it before making a decision, and it is stupid to decide to strike or win over when you don't even know what kind of person the opponent is. ”

"Yes!" Everyone nodded at the old man, and then left the large conference room one after another.

"It seems that it's time to change, the wolves of the steppe are like wild dogs competing to eat carrion, where is there still a trace of the appearance of a grassland warrior." After everyone had left, the old man said to himself, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

In Pompeii, all the young masters and ladies who were invited were making clothes and jewelry to dress themselves, because this banquet was probably the most important banquet of the year, and the heads of all forces would arrive, and it was an honor in itself to be invited. And for the heads of those forces of all parties, they are also preparing, but they are not preparing clothes and jewelry, but intelligence.

Soon, the time for the banquet came, and for this reason, Aix also deliberately dressed up, at least no longer like a poor herdsman of the steppe, and had a bit of a noble appearance.

The only people who attended the banquet with Ax were Casey and Kleist, and Anne didn't seem to have any interest in such a thing, so she chose to stay alone at the hotel.

The transportation chosen by the three of Aix this time was a yodeler car, which was Aix's choice, although it was not as comfortable as the magic carriage, but it gave Ax a sense of familiarity. Sitting in this yodeler-made car, although it is a bit bumpy, but it is also in line with Aix's identity, at least it does not make people feel like a hillbilly.

The banquet was held in the private residence of the Duke Archon, and when he entered the door, there were no accidents, and there was no dispute between the two families over the order of priority, which disappointed Aix, who was ready to watch the excitement and tried to pretend.

After crossing a fountain, the three of Aix finally entered the venue, at this time, most of the people who were just for the banquet had basically arrived, and the ladies and ladies were dressed in gorgeous costumes, talking in twos and threes, and their eyes looked at the entrance of the banquet from time to time, because the big people who came today were not just one or two, if they were favored by anyone, not only themselves, but their own family could also get great benefits.

When the three of Ax approached the door of the banquet hall, they felt many of these eager eyes. Although the three of Aix had come to Pompeii for the first time and did not know anyone here, the portraits of the three had already reached the hands of those noble ladies and ladies.

For this kind of gaze, Ax and Kleist are still a little uncomfortable, just like countless she-wolves, looking at themselves hungrily, but they can't fight back. Casey, on the other hand, seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, and coped with it quite easily, and took a glass of red wine from the tray of the waiter who walked past him, and walked into the crowd.

"Let's go, let's fill my stomach first, for this banquet, I haven't eaten since the morning." Ignoring all the glances, Ax beckoned to Kleist and walked towards the table full of food. (To be continued.) )
