Chapter 132: The Banquet

In the increasingly tense atmosphere of "Port Newinn" from top to bottom.

The third and fourth days passed by in a flash.

Although the major forces continued to send additional manpower to conduct carpet searches, they were not rewarded for two consecutive days. In the face of the murderers who may have fully recovered to the "senior knight level", many high-level officials are a little anxious.

Until... Day 5.

Da Da... Da Da...

The crisp sound of horses' hooves stepped on the setting sun, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly stopped in front of the splendid "Rose Crown" hotel.

The gilded door opened, and a tall, handsome young man stepped down the steps.

Click-

The long black boots made a crunch when they stepped on the floor tiles.

With short brown hair and black eyes, a crisp dark blue military uniform, he was heroic and extraordinary, and a standard long sword hung from his waist, although his appearance was simple, he could not hide the fact that it was a real murder weapon.

The whole person just stood there simply, like a javelin piercing the sky, and his awe-inspiring temperament made people look sideways.

He did not leave immediately after getting out of the carriage, but turned around and bent slightly, and very gentlemanly caught a slender jade hand wearing lace gloves, and took advantage of the situation to help its owner out of the carriage.

It was a beautiful lady dressed in a lavish lavender one-shoulder dress and silver high heels.

With red lips and snowy skin, long hair pulled up at the back of his head and a shiny hair ornament, revealing a snow-white slender neck, and an emerald brooch on his chest. The graceful figure can't even tell the specific age, but she is an out-and-out beauty.

The noble lady who stepped off the carriage gracefully smiled at the young man who was supporting her, looked around, and saw several familiar famous ladies not far away frequently scanning their eyes, glancing at the young man next to her and instantly looking away.

Devri covered her red lips and chuckled lightly, gently leaning into the young man's ear and laughing: "I didn't expect our little Evan to be very charming, and he was noticed by the beautiful ladies so quickly." ”

"Auntie, what are you kidding? ”

Evan wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the beautiful girls around him now, as early as two days ago, the eighty-odd students of the short school had spontaneously divided into multiple groups, cooperating with the transcendents of other organizations to patrol the city non-stop.

Ai Wen came here, not only because of his aunt's request, but also with a mission.

Although ordinary people are still kept in the dark, because of the "murderers", in fact, there is no absolutely safe place in the entire "Newinn Harbor" (except perhaps Newinn Cathedral and the Princeton Rector Witchcraft Garden).

Even yesterday's intelligence bulletin revealed that a noble family living in a suburban manor had been sniped by the "Devil's Disciples".

In just four nights, more than 500 people have been killed, including many high-ranking elites.

Even though the city hall has not been publicly announced, many citizens have already felt the strangeness of the city, and the pedestrians on the road are noticeably sparser than usual as they travel in horse-drawn carriages.

The top brass is aware of the danger.

Evan even suspected for a moment that the purpose of tonight's banquet organized by the archon, Mr. Murdoch, on the theme of connection and affection, was not pure.

Gehr, as a naval colonel, was also "lucky" to receive an invitation.

Before Evan knew it, Aunt Devri's carriage had stopped directly at the entrance of the Naval Academy, inviting Evan to be her dance partner today.

At this point, it was impossible to send my aunt back, and it might be safer to stay with her, so I agreed to join her at the banquet.

However, for the sake of caution, Aven still brought his own combat sword instead of a decorative sword in case of emergencies.

"Don't be shy, I'm here today to get to know a few more friends from the upper echelons of Newinn Harbor. Don't worry, there is a suitable girl, and the aunt will introduce you!"

Devrey, who was relatively closed off in the suburbs, didn't realize that there was anything wrong with today's banquet, and the main topic was to introduce a dignified "female friend" to Aven.

Exploits and careers are men's business, and as a woman, Devri is obviously more concerned about the inheritance of the "Garot family".

"Ahem, Auntie, let's go in. ”

There are more and more trends of young women stopping at the door, and Evan can't stand their undisguised gaze, so he hurriedly urges.

Devri didn't tease him anymore, reached out and grabbed Aven's arm, and walked into the hotel.

......

When the two of them arrived, it was not very early, and the guests had already gathered in twos and threes to talk to each other, and the atmosphere was warm, as if they had not been affected by the "murderer" incident in the past few days.

Long tables covered with snow-white tablecloths are filled with delicacies, amber champagne towers are piled high, and musicians are already playing melodious and cheerful hot music.

It's still so rich and peaceful, in stark contrast to the scene of some rumors outside.

Those who are a little lower and unaware have been kept in the dark until now, and those who know are obviously full of confidence in the security forces of the banquet attended by Lord Archon tonight, and they are not at all worried that something will happen beyond their control!

"Dave, here!"

As soon as the two of them entered the banquet hall, they were spotted by Aunt Devrey's acquaintance, who affectionately called her over.

"Good evening, Jenny! Shanna, Du Lisa, you are so early. Devri pulled Aven over and greeted her acquaintances.

"Dave, where did you get this handsome little guy?"

The three dressed ladies couldn't help but gossip when they saw Evan, who had an outstanding image and temperament next to Devrey.

Du Lisha, who was dressed in a fiery red dress and had deep eyes and red lips, was charming and enchanting, glanced at Ai Wen and teased: "It can't be that your family is not at home all the year round....?

"Tsk, do you think everyone is like you?!I'm already an aunt, and I'm still not in tune with when I was young!" Devri pinched her waist and scolded her with a smile, she wasn't angry, several people were too familiar with each other, and it was common to make some innocuous jokes.

"This is Evan Galliot, my nephew of Gehr and I, a fifteen-year-old Navy Cadet!"

Turning around, he introduced to Aven: "Jenny and Shanna's husbands were naval officers at the same time as your Uncle Geer, and they both served in the First Fleet, and Du Lisha's father was their old boss. We have been friends for more than ten years, and they are all very nice people. ”

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" Devri said, and Evan was like a real junior, greeting the families of these naval officers one by one without changing his face.

"Why are such outstanding juniors willing to take them out to show us now? Even if they don't have high military ranks, it's still okay to take care of the juniors after so many years. ”

A normal fifteen-year-old boy is likely to still be studying at the Naval Academy, and even if he graduates normally at the age of seventeen, he will start as a warrant officer, and he can become a colonel-level officer before the age of twenty in terms of strength and meritorious service, and he can be called a young talent no matter what the occasion.

Even if the current Evan doesn't count those medals and the identity of a wizard, his achievements on the surface are enough to be praised.

That's what Devrey was waiting for.

"Alas, this boy had been with his Uncle Geal in Gabrid before, and had not seen much of the world. This time I came to Newin Harbor to participate in this year's short training... The most important thing is that everyone must help us introduce Ewen to a lovely little lady..."

"Sure enough..."Ai Wen put his hand on his forehead, knowing that these "aunts" would not discuss anything else when they got together.
