Chapter 114: The Banquet in Nanhai Town

The sky has just darkened, the sun is red and the sponge is reflected red, the seagulls are flying and circling, and the colorful plants in early autumn will decorate Nanhai Town with extraordinary beauty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As the temperature gradually cools down, the residents of Nanhai Town have returned to their homes, and even the poorest civilians will hide in their relatively warm homes at this time and drink a sip of the hot soup stewed with shellfish that their children picked up on the beach.

But the refugees from Stormwind were not so comfortable, some of the lucky ones begged for leftovers from some taverns or handouts from well-wishers, and many more snuggled up, or curled up in hollowed-out haystacks, shivering and ready to spend the long cold night, and perhaps the next morning, the cleaners in Southsea Town found a stiff corpse from some corner.

On the contrary, at this time, most of the nobles and wealthy merchants began to be active, whether it was a tryst with a lover, or a banquet mixed with various purposes among the nobles, Barrett also received many invitations.

Originally, the elderly Barrett was not interested in this kind of banquet, but Antonis was very interested in the banquet held by a lady Catlana, and repeatedly encouraged Barrett, and told him that in addition to the mayor of Nanhai Town, many nobles of Nanhai Town would also participate in this banquet, and if he met them at this banquet, it would be very helpful for the future funding of refugees.

On top of that, the host of this banquet, Ms. Katrana, is also a nobleman in the Stormwind Kingdom, and is very famous in the noble circle, if she has her help, she may be able to raise a lot of gold coins to help more refugees.

Although Barrett was not happy to involve the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom, he did need a lot of money to promote Xiao Yi now, and he was confident that he would be the one who would benefit in the end, so after thinking about it, he readily agreed to Baron Antonis's request.

---------------------------

In front of His Excellency Master Hercula's private manor not far outside the town of Nanhai, a gleaming guard in armor was patrolling solemnly, and for the sake of the quiet and comfortable environment of the invited guests, the guards expelled the refugees wandering around the neighborhood early.

Several butlers waited respectfully outside the gate of the manor with a large number of servants, and the cool sea breeze in the evening did not make these very richly dressed but very thin servants shiver, and it could be seen that they had been treated well.

According to the custom of the aristocracy, the host of the banquet would definitely send some close people to receive the most distinguished guests at the gate, and at this time, no one could ignore the beautiful woman in an off-the-shoulder purple dress!

She is the organizer of this banquet - Ms. Katrana! At the same time, she is also the lady whom the owner of the manor, Master Hercula, loves, loves, and why the withdrawn Master Hercula actually developed his manor to host a banquet!

A group of elite soldiers with well-equipped shields, spears, and red cloaks slowly stopped at the gate of the manor in the afterglow of the setting sun, escorting a carriage that was not luxurious and did not have any coat of arms.

A handsome young man with black hair jumped down first, and it was Baron Antonis!

After seeing Baron Antonis, Lady Catlana's eyes lit up, and a charming smile appeared on her face, and she stepped forward and grabbed the baron's wrist affectionately, causing many unknown men's jaws to drop to the ground.

What's even more surprising is that as a suitor of Lady Katrana, the owner of the manor, Master Hercula, actually greeted the nobleman with a smile!

Of course, there are many nobles who are already familiar with this, they nodded kindly to the newly arrived Baron Antonis, and then under the guidance of the servant, they quickly walked into the manor, after all, night is about to fall, the night in Nanhai Town is very cold, and the dress for the banquet is generally very thin, even if you wrap a cloak, you can't resist the damp cold.

Patting his sister's little hand, who was holding his arm but kept looking into the carriage, Baron Antonis laughed and said, "My dear sister, I have invited His Excellency Barrett, you don't have to worry that your brother will disappoint you." ā€

His hearty laughter and words made the unknown nobles suddenly realize that this young nobleman was the elder brother of Lady Katrana!

"Your sister?" Barrett couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that the organizer of this banquet was actually Antonis's sister, and this guy said so many big truths.

"Don't mind, my old fellow!" Antonis smiled and helped Barrett out of the carriage, rolling his eyes at Viscount Winchester, who had been holding back until he finally burst out laughing.

"I would like to introduce you, my beautiful sister, the pearl of the Stormwind Kingdom, Lady Katrana! This is Lord Hercula, who provided the venue for the banquet this time, and he is a powerful mage. Antonis enthusiastically introduced Barrett, and then he shouted in a loud voice, in a tone like a picture:

"Hello everyone, this is Mr. Barrett, the messenger from the City of Angels in the Western Wilderness, on behalf of the venerable and brave and benevolent Hon. Shaw Falken!"

It was not a warm applause, maybe everyone present had heard Xiao Yi's name, but most of the nobles who belonged to the Alterac Kingdom were not interested in it, and only owed a slight amount of money out of politeness.

The nobles from the Stormwind Kingdom were different, they applauded autonomously, and surrounded several people in the middle, with a very proud expression, as if they were the ones who had this reputation.

"Good evening, honorable Excellency, it is my honor that you can attend my banquet." Ms. Catlana lifted the corner of her skirt and made a ladylike manner, and looked at Barrett with adoring eyes:

"Can you tell me about the glorious deeds of His Excellency Falken? He is simply a hero to all of us! ā€

Nodding slightly, Barrett smiled politely, although he felt that something was not right, but he was still very happy to meet the admirer of his lord here, at least the reputation of the City of Angels has spread widely enough, isn't it?

"Dear Katrana, I think we should go back to the manor first, and talk about it." The brown-haired Hercula smiled and nodded at Barre, and gently suggested, but everyone present could hear the taste of his words, after all, the lady he was courting would be uncomfortable if he publicly expressed interest in another man.

"Ahh Katrana covered her mouth and exclaimed, and then an apology appeared on her face: "I'm really sorry, it's me who is so rude, please come in quickly, the banquet is about to begin." ā€

Barre smiled and said very gentlemanly that it was out of the way, and gave Katrana a compliment.

Although he was only a butler before, his master, Archmage Azulla, was a very famous master of enchantery! And he doesn't like to be noisy, which is why the Tower of Azula was built in the depths of the Elwyn Forest.

Archmage Azula doesn't like to be noisy, but his works are very sought after by the Stormwind Kingdom, and he has invited the Archmage to their banquets many times, but the Archmage is reluctant to go, and in the end Barrett does it for him, so Barrett knows a lot of nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom, and because of his age, he has a good relationship with the elders of many nobles in the Stormwind Kingdom.

They soon found some common ground with their rich experience, and they walked side by side to the manor, laughing and laughing, but the legion guards behind them did not follow Barrett, and they were guided by the servants to the resting place specially prepared for the retinue, where a sufficient amount of delicious food was prepared.

Led by Herakul and Katrana, several people entered the manor smoothly. After a few people left, the nobles who remained in front of the door began to talk one after another, although they had heard of Xiao Yi, but they did not understand why Katrana was so enthusiastic about a messenger, and even waited in the cold wind at the door herself.

When he stepped into the door of the banquet hall, the suddenly warm environment made several people breathe, especially Barrett, whose old body had not yet recovered from the long journey, and the sea breeze at night made him feel cold deep into his bone marrow.

Taking the dry towel from the servant and wiping his hands politely, Antonis asked for three glasses of wine and handed them to Barrett and Winchester.

As for Herakul and Katrana, one of them was the host of the place, and the other was the organizer of the banquet, so naturally they would not accompany them all the time, so after entering the banquet hall, they said yes and disappeared.

There was still some time before the banquet began, and after smiling and nodding to the few nobles in the living room who had heard the sound, the three of them chatted and walked to the corner of the hall for the guests to rest.

Most of the time, of course, it was Baron Antonis, who often added something to the Viscount of Winchester, and Barrett listened and observed the people in the drawing-room.

Most of the nobles who were able to enter the banquet hall earlier were of some status, and they gathered together in twos and threes, talking quietly, and some people found Barrett, many of whom seemed to know him, and raised their glasses to him from afar, but they did not bother rudely.

"Look there!" Antonis cryptically pointed to a few nobles not far away, who were relatively young and seemed to be soldiers, because they all carried long swords around their waists, and they did not take them off even when they attended the banquet.

"It's strange, how could Mograine be here?" Viscount Winchester also saw it, and he whispered, "Isn't he Marshal Lothar's aide-de-camp?" At this time, if you are not on the front line to defend against orcs, what are you doing here for a banquet? ā€

"And Duane, Abydis, oh my! That's Tirio Fordin! Antonidas exclaimed incessantly.

Barrett also frowned, he had only heard of Tirio Fortin, a high lord, and from the tone of Antonis and Winchester, the others seemed to have no simple identities, which made him have some bad premonitions about this banquet.
