The heavy crystal lights shone on Wells, who was chatting in the hall, and the embellishment of knighthood and money made this exaggerated image a place where the nobles' dreams took root.

Zhou Duan's left hand was wrapped around another pair of delicate and delicate little hands.

"If we can, we can talk to the ones you suspect right now."

"Listening to a host's speech is the most basic etiquette for guests, even if you don't care, I don't think the other party will be interested in chatting with you at this time."

The role of the banquet is that in addition to basic communication, it often bears the convenience of many transactions.

Wells's words were concise among the nobles, but even so, Zhou Duan waited for more than ten minutes.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think you'll find a perfect memory here tonight, enjoy."

Elegant music flows slowly from the side.

"So, would you like to play a song with me?" Siya asked at this point.

"I'd love to say yes, but before today, I was just a person who could walk on my legs, so that's all."

"It seems that our Viscount does not understand the mind of a beauty, and I am honored to have the opportunity to invite this beauty." Lloyd's ghost lingers.

"No, my upbringing does not allow me to accept this invitation." Siya refused outright.

Lloydbee glanced at Zhou Duan: "So, according to the tradition since the time of Caudia, Mr. Lucky, accept my challenge?" ”

Lloyd's voice was not deliberately restrained, so the eyes of the vicinity gathered.

Zhou Duan turned the wine glass in his hand: "First of all, the challenge you mentioned had an additional content during the Hittishvier period because of the rise of women's rights...... So, what about your chips, you have to satisfy my female partner. ”

Lloydbee smiled casually: "A black knight, how's that?" ”

The Black Samurai is considered an advanced level of rotting corpses, and can evolve to the Imperial Guardian stage.

"I'm sorry, I ......" Siya is not a woman who knows what to do, and understands the cause of this conflict.

"So a sword forged from magic gold......"

"Lloyd." Zhou Duan stopped the other party, "If I'm not mistaken, this sword doesn't belong to you, and you have no right to use it as a bet." ”

"Don't worry, even if you win by the Lord's favor, Grand Duke Bode won't trouble you."

"If you don't have a bet on my girlfriend, then I think it's time for us to go." Zhou Duan smiled apologetically.

"A Black Lord."

Zhou Duan was a little surprised next time, and Siya's hand tightened on Zhou Duan's arm.

Some of the surrounding nobles also looked at Lloybee with their mouths wide open, but their expressions were different.

"Idiot." Wells, who was not far away, heard it and cursed in a low voice.

"Then I suppose you should keep it with you at all times, Mr. Baron, so that the thieves don't run too rampant." Ignoring Siya's heartwarming eyes, Zhou Duan didn't look back.

"That's the Black Lord, an existence that is expected to rule over the top." Walking a little farther away, Siya suppressed her voice a little, "You're not excited?" ”

Zhou Duan held the other party's hand: "Miss Outford, do you think that even if I win the other party now, can I keep this trophy?" ”

Siya calmed down slightly: "I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay, this baron's behavior is a little abnormal, you come with me after the banquet, now it's time for us to get down to business." Zhou Duan looked at Lloybee with some suspicion.

"Huh? But I ......" Siya looked at Zhou Duan's restrained handsomeness and stammered a little.

"Is that your knight? To be honest, I didn't recognize her at the door just now. ”

"You ......"

"Okay, that's going to be talked about later." Zhou Duan took Siya's hand and walked in front of a well-dressed nobleman who looked very young.

"Your Excellency Samir." Zhou Duan raised his glass, and there was a certain tolerance for aristocratic etiquette at the banquet, because it was a private meeting.

"Your Excellency." Samir returned the salute, and a woman beside him, who seemed to be having a good conversation, naturally took the other's hand.

"I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing."

"No, actually, I'd be glad to interrupt you." Samir said and gave her female companion an apologetic look.

"Your Excellency's Soros family, I heard that it is the oldest family in Hope City, with a long history and profound heritage."

"Haha, the glory of the past." Samir said this, but the smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.

"Not long after I arrived, in my aristocratic history class, the teacher said that chatting with people from the ancient family is the best way to learn about history, can I take the opportunity to discuss this history with you?"

"Of course, your teacher is very tasteful, although the glory is no more, but Soros should live forever in history."

The three of Zhou Duan, who had successfully aroused the topic, walked towards the nearest wine table, and it was obvious that Zhou Duan was the target of most people tonight, otherwise, a viscount would not waste such a precious time for the banquet.

“……”

Zhou Duan and Samir discussed with each other, and later, Siya's expression began to be a little unbearable.

"That is to say, it is incredible that Soros now has three stores on Mirin Street." Zhou Duan exclaimed.

To the unleashed, Mirin Street is one of the busiest streets in the City of Hope, and owning a shop in it is a symbol of wealth.

Samir smiled reservedly, and couldn't help but glance at Siya next to him.

"But I heard a few days ago, a few shops on Milin Street were damaged?"

Samir listened and nodded happily: "Yes, Linda's only store suffered heavy losses in the battle of several mysterious people, but fortunately, my store is not so conspicuous. ”

"That's hopeful." Siya interjected coldly.

got the information he wanted, and Zhou Duan slowly ended his small talk with the other party, and the topics were all some cold history.

Even Siya listened groggily.

Suddenly, the taskbar, which had been silent for a long time, took the initiative to appear in Zhou Duan's consciousness.

"What's wrong?" Siya, who was drinking red wine on Zhou Duan's side, saw Zhou Duan suddenly lose her mind and asked.

"It's nothing ......," Zhou Duan said, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right.

The hall that had been bustling was suddenly silent.

Siya also noticed the anomaly at this time, and the two looked towards the place where the faint sense of threat came.

It was the staircase leading to the second floor of the hall, and the owner, who was supposed to be standing on it and enjoying the view, now knows where he is.

A man Zhou Duan had just seen was hanging from a petal-covered railing, and a jazz next to him was still frozen in horror at the sight of the corpse, and bright red blood slowly dripped down the stairs.

"Ahh Finally heard the expected scream.

Wells soon received a notice and hurried from the backyard, and Zhou Duan saw that the other party seemed to have changed his clothes.

That's not the point now.

Zhou Duan didn't expect Wells to find himself in front of everyone.

But I thought of what Vidos had said to himself in the backyard.

Is what the other party said true?

"There's a pattern here." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind the Earl and Zhou Duan.

It was the knight that Zhou Duan met at the door, and it was also an old acquaintance, Duo'an.

Wells walked over to what Doan said was patterned.

It was a bird with wings outstretched in red blood, wings and body in oddly proportioned proportions, and the middle did not seem to be connected to each other.

Zhou Duan saw that the earl's face suddenly turned pale.

"Please go to your guest room and get some rest, and make sure you are safe tonight, and move Andal and the city guard here."

Zhou Duan comforted Siya, and was actually a little shocked in his heart, even the city guards were dispatched, and the murders that would not have occurred in previous years have now appeared one after another.

By the time everyone had almost retreated under the arrangement of the subordinates, there were less than ten people left in the hall except for the guards.

Zhou Duan and Siya are among them.

"Shepherd, we're in big trouble." Wells said to Zhou Duan, "Big brother just left, and he said that you are trustworthy." ”

Zhou Duan was a little ashamed, but continued to listen.

"This pattern, we also learned about it not long ago, and it is related to the destruction of Sunset City."

"What?" An old man with gray hair next to him was taken aback.

"Your Excellency Diere, this is true, and this is also thanks to my brother, I learned some inside information."

"So Earl, you left the guests behind because you were worried that someone would continue to die and affect your reputation, and because you thought that the murderer might be among them?" Zhou Duan asked.
