Chapter 213. Moulton's necklace
There was already an exclamation in the banquet hall, and the gentlemen and low-level nobles at the front had seen this kind of scene there, and they all subconsciously retreated to the back, looking at the figure of Harold on the stage, and they were also a little frightened.

Even those high-ranking nobles already had a bit of solemnity on their faces, even if they all knew about this incident in advance, but as elegant and decent people, they had never experienced the scene of shooting their heads in such a solemn occasion a few times.
The strong smell of blood began to permeate, and the nobles and gentlemen in the entire banquet hall began to disperse in all directions, leaving only Harold on the empty stage, who opened his arms in greeting.
"Bang bang."
A faint applause came from behind, and the old butler of the Senge family slowly moved forward, looking at the guests below with an expressionless face, but the corners of his mouth curled up with a faint smile, and his voice was still loud and said: "This is Mr. Harold, officially becoming the most eye-catching moment in the aristocratic circle, why don't you welcome it?" ”
As his words fell, the nobles and gentlemen below were as if they had enjoyed the most wonderful opera, clapping their hands vigorously, making a crisp sound, as if expressing the joy in their hearts.
But Levi didn't clap his hands, he squinted slightly, he looked at Harold who was bowing on the stage, and subconsciously turned his head to look at a corner on the left, Clive in a black trench coat also entered his eyes, and the gray-haired middle-aged man was also smiling and clapping his hands, as if he didn't see anything.
"What the hell is going on?"
This group of nobles is like a pervert, Levi's heart is even a little shocked by the arrogant Eddie just now, the instant death, he swallowed slightly and spat at the mouth, he was a little puzzled by the ridiculous farce, turned his head to look at the old Morton who also clapped his hands, and asked in a low voice: "Why did this happen?" ”
He had the impression that such a bad incident could happen at the gathering of the nobles, and even the bloody corpse of Eddie was still lying on the stage, and many people were still applauding enthusiastically as if they could not see it.
However, the servants of the Senge family had already come out, and they quickly lifted the corpse on the stage with a blank face and walked towards the back, and at the same time, someone was holding a mop to clean up the blood-spattered field, and it didn't take long to clean up the stage, as if there had never been a murder.
"This is a sign of their determination, and someone has already decided to join the forces of the Governor."
Old Morton smiled, drank the wine in the glass in his mouth, looked at Levi's somewhat unbelievable appearance, the smile on the corner of his mouth also carried a little mockery, and slowly said: "Do you think that group of nobles are really decent people who pay attention to their reputation and demeanor?" ”
He didn't wait for Levi to speak, the wine slowly swallowed down his throat, and said lightly: "They are just a group of jackals, but after eating the flesh and blood, they will wipe the corners of their mouths and tidy up their fur." ”
"I really have some, I can't believe it."
Levi exhaled, and his beating heart became a little vigilant, especially looking at everyone in this venue, he couldn't help but whisper to old Morton, "Will there be danger?" ”
But old Morton shook his head, and the ridicule on the corner of his mouth became more and more high: "No, they don't dare, because this is a banquet hall of the Senge family, and neither the governor nor anyone else can do anything in the Senge family, unless it is the same as just now, with the tacit approval of the Senge family." ”
The applause of the many nobles and gentlemen had stopped, and the stage in front of him had been cleared, and Harold was still standing on it, as if he was still waiting for something.
Levi turned his head to look at Clive, the man who had just come out of prison was already sitting in his place, and he didn't look the slightest difference, but this Clive also noticed Levi's gaze, turned his head to look at this side, and nodded lightly to show a faint smile.
Slowly swallowing and foaming, Levi also nodded in salute, subconsciously leaving his eyes without the slightest emotion, and the whole person was as cold on his back as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake just now.
"Wait quietly, he's gone crazy."
Old Morton brought a smile on the corner of his mouth, took the two brand-new glasses of wine on the table next to him, collided with each other gently, and handed the glass in his hand to Levi, while sipping his own glass of wine and smiled softly: "It will be dead." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Levi exhaled slowly, his whole person seemed to be in some kind of fog, and when he looked at the smiling nobles and gentlemen around him who were still talking in a low voice, he couldn't help but tense, he felt that this was like a death banquet, a banquet composed of a group of crazy people.
And next to the high platform, a young man walked up, and Levi's brow furrowed tightly, it was Acheson, the vice-captain of the Governor's Guard that he had seen in Baaltown, standing beside Harold with a scroll-like object.
"By order of the Governor, Harold was canonized as a baron, and was responsible for the management of the Outer Harbor and Outer Towns of Grey Mist."
Acheson's voice was loud, looking at the scroll in his hands, which was a common decree promulgation scroll in Gray Mist City, and there were also beautiful sentences written on it, he read aloud: "This is a reward for Harold, report and get rid of the rebel viscount, and I also hope that many nobles will also maintain a good attitude to resist the temptation of the rebellious viscount." ”
His words fell, and there was another fierce applause, and every nobleman and gentleman still had a smile on their faces, as if this sentence had nothing to do with them, and deserved encouragement.
But for the old Morton in the corner, it was particularly funny, he gently patted Levi's shoulder, and said with a feeling of intoxication on his face: "Look, this is the stage play I am talking about, you can see that everyone is applauding, in fact, nothing can be changed." ”
Moulton's eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more mocking, looking at Levi next to him, he also said with emotion: "You have to learn to disguise yourself, sometimes what you see is not right, just like me, smiling in front of you, who would know that I want to say that the nobles here are all a bunch of stupid x?" ”
"Hey..."
Levi also reached out and touched old Morton's arm, looking at the blush on his face, he also directly snatched the wine glass in his hand, and couldn't help but whisper: "Be careful, your words will be heard." ”
"My mistake." Old Morton looked at Acheson, who was still talking about something, and couldn't help but shake his head, the wine in his mouth was still savoring, and said softly: "You should be careful Clive, although that guy can't kill Harold, it's still easy to kill you." ”
"What?"
Levi's brows furrowed tightly, and he just wanted to turn his head to look to the side, but he was reminded by old Morton's hand tapping on the table, and a tacit understanding did not make him turn his head to look over there, but just took a glass of wine and sipped it in his mouth, and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Eddie is Clive's son, and Harold raised him for twenty years."
The smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly cocked, and old Morton also looked at Levi with some emotion, this immature face still had a little familiarity, so he couldn't help but take out a necklace around his neck and put it in front of Levi to signal him to put it away, but his mouth continued to explain: "The means are not glorious, Harold even killed his wife, but did not dare to kill this child, because his leg is the price." ”
"That's why the Rotten Algae Gang has become the most powerful gang in Grey Mist, but now it seems that Harold has also succeeded in revenge, almost knocking Clive into an irreparable abyss."
Morton continued to speak softly, his voice was slight and could only be heard by the two of them, because everyone else was looking at Acheson and the housekeeper of the Senge family on the stage, and it was convenient for him to explain: "This is the most wonderful banquet of the day, the struggle for power has completely torn your face, even you are about to choose a faction." ”
"What camp?"
Levi lowered his head slightly, subconsciously clenched the wine glass, swallowed saliva in his throat, looked at the old Morton beside him very heavily, and said softly: "Give me a hint, Molton." ”
"Of course it's the Governor, and any rebel can't win."
Old Morton had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were also fixed on Levi, and he said softly as if he had asked him: "Take that necklace and don't let anyone find out, even if Gerard asks, you must assume that you don't know." ”
After a pause, his tone was equally solemn, and he said lightly: "The rebel viscount has in fact been abandoned by everyone a long time ago, and all this is just the conspiracy of the governor, when he is seriously ill, he needs to eradicate some of the people and pave the way for a new successor, because his heart does not belong to the Northern Whistling Sea." ”
Seeing that Levi seemed to be stunned, old Morton also laughed, reached out and took the wine glass in front of him and poured himself a big sip, and at the same time stuffed the wine glass made of glass into his pocket, and said with a faint smile: "But today's everything is over, if you still have an appetite, then eat a big meal, in fact, this banquet is still very relaxed." ”
Levi looked up at this time, and he also found that the announcement on the stage had ended, and the servants were serving the meals of the banquet, and a dance floor had been formed in the middle, and there was music from low to high.
Everything was peaceful, just like a real banquet, but Levi's flashing eyes looked at everyone, and he could also find that those nobles and gentlemen, who were no longer calm, seemed to be weighing something.
