The dinner party is still the same dinner, but for various reasons, this banquet is much simpler than the last time, eating and drinking are simple, and there is no singing and dancing, but the number of people attending the banquet is twice as many as last time.

Recently, Peacock City has been in turmoil, first the death of Grandma Triss and Grandma Huffield, and then Su Xiao beheaded 31 people in a row and displayed their heads on the street, Kines and Knaz were also tied up in the square and stood for a day and a night, and last night the Knights in the city sent out a large army to surround the Earl's Palace, all kinds of visions are enough to show that something big will happen in Peacock City.

Since there is no direct evidence to prove Earl Dave's crimes, the city lord can only trap Earl Dave to death according to Su Xiao's arrangement, which can indeed prevent everyone's interests from being harmed, but it cannot calm public opinion.

For those 31 heads, you can put up a notice saying that they are a murderous gang, but this trick can't be used on Earl Dave, because everyone knows that he is the only one who can shake the throne of the city lord, so the city lord has been looking at him unpleasantly!

Some things can be explained, and some things may become darker and darker when explained.

In fact, you can see the shrewdness of the city lord from this. A whole day has passed since the Knights in the city surrounded the Earl's Palace, but he, the lord of the city, did not give any statement or explanation, even if some passers-by directly asked the knights about the reason, they also explained in a unified voice that thieves have been rampant recently, and this is also to protect the safety of Earl Dave.

Seeing this, and thinking about this simple dinner tonight, everything is easy to understand. Whether it was cutting the budget for food, canceling singing and dancing performances, or increasing the number of banquet guests, the castle lord's original intention was not to mourn the dead at all, but to take the opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people.

As far as these people who attended the banquet were concerned, most of them came to eat, drink and receive rewards, and they didn't have time to ponder the thoughts of the city lord. But for a person like Su Xiao who knows the inside and forth of the incident, the city lord's Sima Zhao's heart is naturally known to everyone.

However, Su Xiao didn't think about demolishing him.

In all fairness, Su Xiao didn't like the city lord, but if he was a little more careful, he didn't like Earl Dave even more. Peacock City, as a main city with a population base of nearly fifty or sixty thousand, must not be left without an owner for a day, if you must choose someone to become the next city lord, Su Xiao can only vote for the person who just "doesn't like".

The pessimistic view said that the city lord's mercy might only last until the voting deadline, or Su Xiao would be a little more conceited, and the city lord's mercy might only last until the day he left Peacock City. However, Su Xiao is neither a politician nor an economist, he does not know how to govern the country and the city, he only knows that even if the mercy of the city lord can only last until tomorrow, the poor people in the city who are hungry and cold can live a comfortable life one more day, why not?

After dinner, all the knights and mercenaries who attended the banquet followed the castle lord and Merlin into the castle hall, full of anticipation of what reward they would receive.

For the reward system of this world, Su Xiao definitely sees it more thoroughly than those aborigines. If you think of the beast tide as a large task with thousands of participants, then the task reward is a proper fixed value, and no matter how much the player expects it, it will not increase or decrease with their expectation.

Just like the last award ceremony, the Snowflake Mercenary Regiment, the Frost Moon Mercenary Regiment and the Blade Mercenary Regiment once again won the third-class merit of the whole regiment, with a bounty of 10 coins and a bronze badge; The Knights in the City, the Emerald Phoenix Mercenary Regiment and the Peacock City Branch of the Cult of Light once again received the second-class merit of the whole group, with a bounty of 30 coins and a silver badge. However, unlike the last award ceremony, this time, all the brave people stood together!

With a full 25 brave men, this lineup is unprecedentedly strong! Half of them have reached level 30, and the lowest-level Illya is already level 27, which is enough to rank among the first echelon of the major forces in Peacock City, not to mention the few people who stand at the forefront of the team. Although the highest level of these brave men is only level 35, looking at the whole city, who doesn't know that Kang Yongyuan's skills are favored by Alexander and Kandal? Who doesn't know that Alice's magic sweeps a street? Who doesn't know that Su Xiao is the monster at the top of Peacock City's violence rankings?

"Please take a step forward, brave men." When it came to Su Xiao, the city lord's tone became more solemn, and in order to reflect his importance to all the braves, he also deliberately read the names of all the brave men, and then said: "Thanks to the concerted efforts of the braves, Peacock City can survive this beast tide safely." The damage to the city was almost zero, and the defenders did not report a single fatality, which is the credit of the brave men. Here, as the lord of a city, on behalf of the Marshall family, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the brave men! ”

After the city lord bowed to Su Xiao and the others, he said aloud: "Peacock City is safe and sound, and the brave are indispensable!" I hereby announce that each of the 24 brave men will receive a first-class meritorious service, a bounty of 50 coins, a court weapon suitable for the level, and a gold badge! I hope that Peacock Villas will become more and more prosperous under your leadership, and the Marshall family will be with you! ”

"Good!" Hearing the city lord's impassioned speech, Simon Malka, Alexander, Kandal and others took the lead in applauding and congratulating, and with them taking the lead, the knight mercenaries who were watching the play naturally had to send the warmest applause and the loudest cheers. However, the applause and cheers had only just begun, when they were interrupted by an immature voice.

"Uncle, don't you know how to count?" Because it was close enough to the high platform where the city lord was, Alice's voice was also spread to every corner of the main hall, "We are obviously 25 people, how can you say 24!" ”

Hearing Alice's questioning, the city lord's face was full of embarrassment. According to his previous temper, no matter how cute Alice looked, he would definitely blame dozens of boards on the spot, and then coax him out of the city. But it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, the city lord is no matter how angry he is, he doesn't dare to treat Alice under Su Xiao's gaze.

The city lord was silent, but Merlin was furious, as Alice's magic teacher, how could he allow his disciple to be so bold and reckless?

Merlin knew that with the protection of him and Su Xiao, even if Alice confronted the city lord in public in Peacock City, she would not be punished. However, what if Alice's open-mouthed personality is not disciplined and she contradicts the president of the Magic Association in the future? What about the king of the land of snow?

For Alice's future, Merlin's eyes were like knives, and he shouted: "Girl, don't be presumptuous!" ”

Alice is used to relying on Su Xiao and Chen Yaxuan's spoiling on weekdays, but only Merlin is furious and doesn't dare to resist, when she sees him staring at her viciously, she hurriedly dodges behind Su Xiao, poked half of her head and yelled at him in the air: "It was original!" Uncle, he just didn't pronounce Sister Xiaoyi's name! ”

Hearing Alice mention herself, Illya's body trembled involuntarily. Su Xiao glanced at her reaction with her spare eyes, and knew that it was time for her to make a statement, so she gently patted Alice's head to make her obedient, and then took a step forward and said to everyone on the high platform: "Alice is still young, she has never learned social etiquette, and she has forgotten that the city lord forgave her for the crime of confrontation. ”

The steps that Su Xiao sent over, the city lord had to leave no matter what, but before he could speak, Su Xiao spoke again, "However, I don't think there is anything wrong with Alice's words just now. The city lord clearly said that he would reward all the brave men, but he missed Illya, and I have to say, this is your dereliction of duty. ”

There is no doubt that Su Xiao's words were like a 10,000-ton boulder smashed into the vast ocean, causing an uproar in an instant!

Just when everyone was speculating whether Su Xiao was going to take this opportunity to go back and fight with the city lord to settle the account, Su Xiao actually dropped a bombshell again!

"I, Su Xiao, solemnly announce on behalf of all the brave men that the eldest daughter of the Marshall family, Elijah. Marshall, now officially renamed Illya. Sue! Su Xiao didn't know if Illya still had any thoughts about the Marshall family, but since she chose to become a brave man, she was destined to give up this kind of family love.

Therefore, Su Xiao decided to help her cut off all the restraints with her own hands, and shouted angrily: "Everyone listen to me, from now on, Illya no longer belongs to the Marshall family!" She is my partner! She is a brave man! (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
