Chapter 215: The Duke's Dinner

(The new month is coming, ask for two guaranteed monthly passes.) )

The northern district of the city, the seat of the city lord's mansion.

Due to the turmoil and chaos in the slums, Golden Raspar is still on high alert, and the inventory of the forces of the abyss has only just begun, and everything seems to be so busy.

However, a small dinner party was held at this time. In the past week, many strong people in the Golden City have made great contributions to protect the city, and it stands to reason that the City Lord's Mansion should have expressed it.

In the north, early summer evenings come late, and it doesn't take until about 7:30 p.m. when the sky is just darkened. Alan took Miss Dale and hired a luxury carriage that matched the northern district of the city, and according to the time agreed on the invitation, he came to a castle on the west side of the city lord's mansion.

Coming to the gate of the manor, the carriage was stopped on its way.

Alan handed out his invitation from the car, and the manor keeper took it, and immediately exclaimed: "The highest invitation? Who is sitting in the car? ”

Alan was stunned when he heard this in the car, and then he was relieved, he had made some contributions in the expulsion of the ghost and Victor, and it was reasonable to get the VIP invitation. He replied, "I am Alan, Lord Morel's guardian knight, a warlock from the southern part of the city. ”

"Ahh It turned out to be Mr. Allen! Hearing the answer in the carriage, the steward did not dare to stop him, and hurriedly welcomed the person in. Alan and the others came to a stop in front of a three-story northern Gothic building, and a group of maids had already come to them, politely guiding them in the direction.

Step inside the manor house and you'll find yourself in a spacious garden. The garden covers an area of 1,000 acres, covered with vegetation and flowers, several spacious roads stretch out under the cluster of flowers, and the wide lake and an open lawn are already crowded with people. The lights reflect the light of the water, illuminating the garden.

"Dear guests, please feel free to enjoy everything here. Before the official start of the dinner, you can walk around as you please. After a group of young maids brought Alan and the others to the venue, they retreated, leaving only two people to stay around, so as not to have any unexpected needs from the guests.

Knowing in advance that he might be summoned by the city lord after the dinner, Alan was not in a hurry to do anything, and after taking two glasses of ice lake wine from a passing waiter's plate, he handed one to Miss Dale, and held one in his hand.

As he was walking, Alan saw a familiar figure.

"It's Big Brother Cayton." Dale looked particularly good in a low-cut black evening dress draped in a small white veil.

Cayton noticed the two Ellens, walked up to them, and said, "You're a little late." ”

"Hey, hey." Alan smiled, "We waited until it was dark before we left. ”

"Okay." Cayton looked at the two of them and said with an ambiguous expression, "Don't say it, you two are really walking together, and they are really matching, so it's better to just be together." ”

As soon as these words came out, Miss Dai'er brushed it, and her face was flushed.

Alan didn't say much, as a professional with a hundred years of adventure experience, Alan knows very well what "love" is. Miss Daile is very good, but in a situation like this, it seems that it is not yet the time for Alan to pursue it with confidence. After all, there are still too many things to do in the future.

Although Dale's face was red, she still held Eren in her hand, no matter what, the state of holding Eren made her feel very relaxed.

At this time, the two little maids were standing not far from the two of them. Seeing that the Caydon Dragon Knights all stepped forward to take the initiative to say hello, they were shocked, they didn't expect that the two of them would meet such a distinguished guest today.

At this time, Cayton said, "The invitation you received tonight should be more than just a dinner party, right?" ”

Alan smiled: "Brother Cayton is really well-informed, yes, after the dinner, I will have the opportunity to meet the city lord." ”

"Hmm." Cayton nodded, "It's about the same as the news I got." ”

He added: "The territory plan you mentioned earlier is very reasonable, and you can find an opportunity to mention it tonight." ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Alan Dao.

As he was talking, he saw a more familiar figure, and Alan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Wen Li, it's a pleasure to meet you." After I received the invitation, I forgot to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come too. ”

Mrs. Wen Li was wearing a beautiful jazz suit and a small black hat today, and she was accompanied by several members of the Morel family.

Although Wen Li and Alan are in the relationship between a lord and a knight, they have a close relationship, and when they saw Allen, Wen Li seemed to be angry and said: "If you don't tell me, your housekeeper will tell me a long time ago." You kid, you often forget me. ”

"Didn't forget, didn't forget." Alan waved his hand. When Alan received the invitation, he knew that it had been sent directly to the Mage's Manor, and that Hunter had forwarded it to Miss Fleur. Since Hunter already knew, it meant that Mrs. Wen Li also knew.

It stands to reason that Alan should come to the door and take the initiative to report, but in the afternoon, Alan actually forgot. Such a faux pas is rarely done by Allen. Thinking about it, it may be because I was waiting for Miss Daile to dress up at the time. And in his heart, he had already tacitly acquiesced that Mrs. Wen Li knew about it, so she came and went, but she missed it.

The three parties met and talked happily. Seeing that the Dragon Knight of Cayton was close to Mr. Allen, and Mr. Allen could appear at the dinner without the leadership of Mrs. Wen Li, everyone was even more convinced that Allen would be a rising aristocratic star on the plains of Raspaar.

"Go and socialize yourselves, I'll walk with Alan." After Wen Li saw Allen, she directly sent her tail away. When the few little nobles heard this, they didn't say anything more, and respectfully took their leave.

Only then did Wen Li take Allen's hand and say, "You and Miss Dai'er are really a good match." ”

In a short period of time, two people said the same thing. Dale had seen Lady Winley at the Morel Dinner and the Bonfire at the Mage's Manor, and as the Earl approached, the little girl reserved to let go of Alan's hand, and saw that Madame Winley was now holding Alan's arm and saying such things.

Dale was in a weird mood.

Feelings that are difficult to express.

"Okay, since I'm here today, I'll take you to meet some people." Wen Li said, "This will be of great help to your future territory construction." ”

The dinner party between the nobles has an occasion that is intersecting. Among the four people in Allen's group, there are counts and dragon knights, and there is almost no need for any loud publicity, and soon someone will take the initiative to greet them.

For Allen, this is definitely a good opportunity to get to know the nobles, and in the future, Allen will have a lot to do, and maybe he will be able to develop a strategic alliance between the nobles tonight.

Mrs. Wen Li first took Alan to meet several families. They were all nobles who had maintained close contacts with the Morel family in the past, and everyone learned about Allen's identity from Mrs. Wen Li's mouth, and also knew what Allen did a few days ago from the mouth of the Cayton Dragon Knight, and immediately had a good impression of Allen.

With the deliberate elevation of the two nobles, Alan soon became one of the focal points of the dinner. The prestige instantly rose to the wind, and once again ushered in a big surge. And this time, the skyrocketing price basically comes from Allen's actions in the past half a month, and his reputation is excellent, and I heard that Allen may be rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion tonight as promised, and for a while, the nobles and nobles in the Golden City flocked to him, and everyone wanted to know Allen.

Alan didn't expect that the first wave of highs and tides in the duke's dinner party would be brought by himself, and everyone who came to greet him, Allen politely clinked glasses one by one and drank the wine, and the drinks that were given to Mrs. Wen Li and Miss Dale were all laughed at.

Alan did a little arithmetic in private, and in just two hours, Alan alone actually drove the consumption of hundreds of barrels of fine wine, if converted into gold coins, there are hundreds, and in the blink of an eye, it has consumed ten years of ordinary people's use.

After this wave of communication, Alan met more than 300 new friends, got forty or fifty banquet invitations, and even received generous gifts from some nobles, all of which were common social gifts among various nobles, and the meaning was excellent. According to the tradition of the Divine Grace Continent, far-sighted nobles have never been stingy in helping generously at the stage of the rise of new nobles.

Lord Count Morel is high, and the dragon knights have been in the barracks all year round, and they are all characters who are difficult to invite, and today everyone knows the guardian knight of Lady Wen Li, and they know that this person is wearing the friendship badge of the Berkeley family, and will be rewarded by the City Lord's Mansion tonight, such a character, if you don't take the opportunity to meet tonight, how long will you wait.

Eren was the first focus of the night's feast, the warlock boy was an experienced and noble spellcaster after all. It didn't take long for the situation to be in control. In response to the courtship of the nobles, Alan borrowed two men from Lady Winley. Accept the gift and keep a list of them. If it is necessary to accept the invitation, the decision will be made on the spot, and if there is no need, it will be directly declined.

Steady and unhurried, he added a lot of points to Allen, and in the eyes of many people, this new guardian knight is a natural nobleman.

In addition, Alan was not idle, and in the midst of a greeting, Alan wrote down several key families. Some of these families have mastered the mines, some have mastered the grain and grass, and the demonic beasts of the beast taming camp, and there are also important families that have mastered slaves, ordnance, building technology, stone, forest, shipbuilding, etc., these people Alan has carefully remembered in his head, and when he brings it to the future development of the territory, he will have to visit.

Time flies.

In the midst of the uproar, everyone ushered in the great knight of the City Lord's Mansion, Mr. Butler, Antunia. After Antunia appeared, according to the custom, he greeted Wen Li, Cayton and other important nobles, and when he saw Allen, he also had a few cordial conversations, so that Allen should not leave in a hurry after the dinner.

This move once again attracted everyone's attention and made Allen a celebrity at this dinner. (To be continued.) )
