The first dance was "The Sound of Spring", a new work by the great musician Johann Strauss, which has just been created but has already taken the Tulip Alliance by storm.

If someone's dance party didn't have this song, it would definitely be ridiculed.

In the melodious music, handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies danced.

Evan noticed that Mr. Archon was also swaying on the dance floor with his wife in his arms, and his posture was skilful and dashing, without the slightest nervousness as bait.

There was no doubt that a dozen or so first- and second-level transcendents guarding the perimeter gave him great confidence.

Evan held Devri's hand in one hand and her slender waist in the other, and although his mind wandered from time to time, he perfectly matched his aunt's whirling dance steps with the help of his already increasingly inhuman agility attributes.

"What's wrong, Auntie?"

When Evan came back to his senses, he found that his aunt had been looking at him and asked strangely.

"No, nothing. ”

Devri originally wanted to ask about Krell, a general's family was not too high-end in "Newinn Harbor", but it was worth spending a lot of effort to make friends with the current Aven.

Attending the banquet today was to provide an opportunity for Ai Wen, a nephew, to get to know a few more big people and have the heart to mention a few words to him.

However, because Evan has always been very assertive, Devri doesn't want him to become too deliberate and utilitarian, and decides to communicate with him a little after the banquet.

The song ended quickly.

Some people left the dance floor, others joined, and many more changed partners and started over.

It seems like a normal dance party, but in the shadows, there are subtle changes that no one notices quietly.

After taking Devri's hand and sending her aside to rest, Evan hid in a corner not far away and watched it all from the sidelines. Women can't refuse to invite men at the ball, and he, who is already aware of the potential danger, has the heart to dance with girls?

Tonight, his primary goal is to ensure his aunt's safety, and his secondary goal is to cooperate with the city guards to deal with the source of this danger when a possible attack comes.

Soon.

Anthony and Delise, who had also finished the opening dance, walked over and sat down with Aven.

"Do you have a favorite girl? There is no famous lady I don't know in 'Newinn Port', I will introduce you to which one you like. A good man like Evan will have a lot of girls like it!" Seeing that Evan had been staring at the dance floor, Dilis assured with a thoughtful attitude.

"Ahem, don't be kidding at this time. Let's share our information. Ai Wen's face did not change and directly diverted the topic.

"What's the information, we just happened to be here for the ball. Anthony said angrily that he had a terrible past few days.

The previous killing activities of the "Poisonous Blue Bellflower" in the hotel caused great trouble for their Kramer family. Although no one dared to come directly to the door to ask for an explanation for the time being, the influence and reputation of the nobility had obviously suffered a serious setback.

Even if the Kramer family was an ancient aristocrat rooted here when "Port Newin" was still a noble fiefdom, and faintly had the status of the leader of the aristocratic association, it could not fail to give you an explanation.

As for Anthony's statement that he was looking for someone to do something to the raging "murderers", the elders of the Kramer family only regarded it as a joke. Just arranged for him to attend the ball to ease the relationship with the various families, and as for how to deal with the "murderers", they had other arrangements.

For Anthony, who is ready to make a big move, there are naturally some emotions.

"Well, you don't know, then listen to me. Evan didn't care about him, and said to himself.

"I happened to take out the Hammer Trailing Maniac on the first night, and the Knights of the Iron Wall teamed up with the Raven Force to take out the Honor Killer Prince and the Fat Killer Clown.

Now, in addition to the "random host" who has never appeared for the time being, there are still three left: "Poisonous Blue Bellflower", "Demon Disciple", and "White-Faced Dancer". ”

Speaking of which, Evan glanced up at His Excellency the Archon, who was still dancing on the dance floor with a different dance partner, and continued:

"I'm sure you've sensed that our Archon wants to lure one of them out with a great feast.

The "White-Faced Dancer" and "Poisonous Bluebell" in the intelligence are more partial to this kind of occasion, and since there was never a case of the 'murderer' committing a crime together eight years ago, I guess one of them is most likely to come.

Currently, our forces have about five official transcendents from the City Guard, as well as ten Cadet Knights. Plus the two of you, and me and my teammate Krel. Other big people who are usually pampered should not be able to count on it.

Above. ”

"The strength is enough, even if the peak knight is coming, don't be afraid, plus ten trainee knights to assist.

And today is only the fifth day, and the strength of the killer should only be restored to the level of a senior knight, as long as it dares to appear, maybe without our hands, the city guards alone should be able to take it. ”

After listening to Evan's analysis, Dilis held her snow-white chin and groaned for a while, and came to a very optimistic conclusion.

"I hope so. Having said that, Ai Wen didn't mean to relax at all, he was more willing to believe in his spiritual sense than common sense, and the slight pinprick in the depths of his spirit showed that the situation should not be so simple...

The other side.

Devri sat down with a few friends, and their conversation was still focused on Aven.

"Really? Evan has been in the Navy for less than a year? This kind of promotion rate is rare in the entire kingdom navy. Dim don't patronize and eat, you have a chance to ask Evan for advice, you know?"

Among the ladies, Jenny was the eldest, who had come with her son, and at this time lectured her son Dim, who was still eating haese.

"I've heard the name Evan Garott somewhere before, do you remember? I'm sure I've seen or heard...

I remember, I read in the Bekele Post some time ago that the great discovery of the Lieutenant Commander made it possible to completely defeat the terrible 'scurvy', and that Major Aven, who had been honored with countless honors, turned out to be Dave's nephew?!"

Du Lisha, who has the most extensive contacts and the most gossip, thought that Aiwen's name was familiar at first, and only now did she finally remember it.

"Wow! That's enough honor to go down in the kingdom's maritime history, isn't it?" said Shanna, who couldn't help but exclaim.

“......”

"Evan is our pride!" the people of this world are not in vogue for humility, and Devrey is proud to take all of their compliments on Evan as they are.

However, their words clearly caused some people to be unhappy.

Du Lisha's dance partner, a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes, said in a strange manner: "If I also have an uncle who is a captain, I can quickly accumulate merit and become a major." The inventor of what medical method is just a matter of luck after being adrift at sea for a long time.

The reason why I can be complacent is because the country boy has never seen what a real powerful person is!"

No matter what you think in your heart, you will offend people when you say this. And are you a powerful person? You're just a good-looking piano teacher!

As a dance partner, Du Lisha complained in her heart, and she already regretted bringing this guy here, so she had to speak to ease the embarrassment:

"I'm sorry Dave, Lemon isn't usually like this, he drank too much today. ”

"I didn't..."

The young man was unconvinced, but he inadvertently glanced at the place where Ai Wen and the others were sitting, and his body froze instantly.

Ai Wen had already seen it, but the pair of young women who were talking and laughing with him beside him made him feel excited, and the rest of the words could no longer be spoken.

Man is such a strange animal, a person's achievements and honors can be slandered, but the circle in which he lives does not. Ideals tend to succumb to reality, upright often compromise with power, and only after being beaten by society do they understand how innocent and cute they were in the past...

Noticing his abnormality, several ladies also turned their heads, all of them slightly stagnant, and the air was filled with a wonderful atmosphere.

After a long time, this atmosphere was broken by Du Lisha:

"The eldest young master of the Kramer family of the Noble Association, the eldest lady of the Alchemy Light Chamber of Commerce. Dev, are you sure your nephew really needs our attention?"
