Chapter 46: The Marquis's Mansion
"What's going on?" Luo Wei frowned, he didn't have any interest in banquets, and it was better to have time to participate in the banquets of these celebrities than to rest for a few more hours.
Arnold said: "If the residents of Dawn City want to challenge the cube mission, they need to submit an application to the Marquis of Charles to keep a record, and this is the third time I have completed the mission, maybe he thinks I am qualified to go to the banquet." ”
"So what? What does it have to do with me? ”
"We're a squad, so I can't keep this kind of thing to myself, and I think if you need information, it's good to have access to someone at the top of the list, Marquis Charles." Arnold finally threw out a bombshell news, "Moreover, Dawn City has its own cube team, and I worked hard to complete the task in the hope of joining this team one day, there are all evolutionaries stronger than me, I think you should be interested." ”
Actually, this time Arnold guessed wrong, Luo Wei was not interested in the so-called "Dawn City Squad" evolutionaries at all, this is not Huashan on the sword, he is not interested in dealing with other evolutionaries, but what Arnold said before made Luo Wei feel reasonable, compared to the market, the Marquis Mansion must have more intelligence information, which should be able to provide him with more help.
The Marquis's Mansion is located on an artificially added mountain range in the city, located in an ethereal height, the solemn mansion stretches endlessly, this mansion relies on the mountains of the sky, accompanied by the water of the blue lake, with the vast sky as the quilt, with the vast earth as the seat, like a dragon coiled in the mountains, quite a proud atmosphere of the world.
Directly above the red vermilion lacquer gate, a huge plaque with the words "Marquis's Mansion" written on the dragons and phoenixes, and the marquis' guards dressed in black were lined up inside and outside the door, all of them had cold faces and sharp eyes, which smeared a thick layer of murderous atmosphere on the vast ancient mansion under the vast sky.
Arnold carefully took out the invitation and handed it to a non-commissioned officer.
The non-commissioned officer took the invitation and glanced at it, and said, "Welcome, inside, please." ”
There was a security check procedure after entering the door, but Luo Wei received all the weapons in the space bag, so no contraband was found, and it may be that all kinds of weirdos have seen more, and Luo Wei's cloak and bandage appearance has not been interrogated.
Ordinary people's life in the city is very leisurely, and you can imagine how drunk the Marquis Mansion is, but Luo Wei didn't have a chance to visit the mansion today, because they were directly invited to the banquet hall.
The heavy door of the banquet hall was pushed open, the marquis of the Confederation seemed to prefer the vicissitudes of the Middle Ages, the ceiling hung many crystal chandeliers, reflecting the dim candlelight to every corner, the banquet hall tables, chairs and even cutlery were made of wooden retro style, as if you were in the distant fifteenth century, there was even a special bandstand, a troubadour was playing distant music with an organ.
"Brave Mr. Arnold, congratulations on your return from hell once again." At the end of the long table, the host of the banquet, the Marquis of Charles, was greeting Arnaud, he was wearing a tight-fitting wide-sleeved nobleman dress with red stripes on a black background, and the white scarf and shirt inside were particularly conspicuous against the black vest, coupled with the golden wig, he was completely dressed as a high nobleman, but his bloated body size comparable to a fat pig ruined this beauty.
"Good evening, Lord Marquis." Arnold, a muscular man who had never read a book, seemed to have done his homework in advance, and actually learned the rules of high society, and said humbly, "It's my honor to receive your invitation to a banquet." ”
"Take your friend and sit down, Mr. Arnold."
Arnold took Luo Wei and Ling to sit on the remaining three empty seats, there were not many participants in this dinner, it was not the kind of lively banquet in the traditional sense, poetry and music, in a sense, it could be called a dinner.
The distribution of seats at the table is exquisite, in European tradition, the two ends of the table are the most noble people sit in the position, and the closer to the two ends, the higher the status, the farthest central position from the two ends generally belongs to the "miscellaneous guests", which is also the position where Arnold and others are sitting now.
"You're Arnold?" Suddenly, directly in front of the Marquis de Charles, a man sitting at the other end of the table suddenly smiled arrogantly, "I've heard of you." ”
"Ghost Hands." Marquis Charles introduced with a smile, "The captain of the Dawn Squad, who has completed 11 cube missions, has B-rank berserker blood, two CCC-level Night Blades, and a large number of evolution points, is a powerful hero with extremely rich combat experience. ”
This man known as the "ghost hand" has wild and uninhibited long hair, wears only a cardigan and denim vest on cold nights, and his skin is baked into a bronze by the scorching sun of the wilderness, revealing a vicissitudes of life, which is incompatible with the aristocratic elegance of the Marquis's Palace, but is full of a ruffian wildness, I saw him pick up the chopsticks casually, hit them on the bowl, and sneered meaningfully: "I heard that this is the third time you have completed the cube mission, yes, congratulations, but it seems that you have not left the whole body." ”
Of course, the ghost hand was ironic about Arnold's severed hand, and in the fist with Gao Yuan, his fist was directly exploded by the opponent.
The ghost hand did not stop his rudeness and arrogance, still knocked on the bowl with chopsticks, and said with a sly smile: "And I heard that you also brought a batch of lambs out this time, how about it?" How many come back? ”
In fact, a person like the Ghost Hand, who is extremely important to the marquis, must know a lot of information, and it should be clear that none of the newcomers brought out by Arnold this time have returned, but he asked knowingly, this is to make it clear that he is mocking Arnold.
At the mention of the dead newcomers, Arnold's face suddenly turned pale, he gritted his teeth and said nothing, and his tall body trembled from time to time because of his grievances.
"Wouldn't it? None of them came back? Ghost Hand pretended to be surprised and jumped up, walked up to Arnold full of ruffianism, hooked his shoulder, and said in a tone that was obviously sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, "It's okay, don't be sad, this world is like this, the strong live proudly, and the garbage dies silently, which is actually quite good, and the useless waste lives is just a waste of food and adds a burden to the world, are you right?" ”
For Arnold, Lin Geng's group of newcomers is just like his relatives, and the dead relatives are insulted and said to be useless garbage, what a humiliating thing? His clenched fists were now white, his teeth were almost crushed, and his eyes were bloodshot.
But can he get angry? No, not to mention what a rude thing it is to get angry at a banquet as a miscellaneous guest, and even if he starts, he is not the opponent of the ghost hand, although they all have B-level bloodline now, but the strength of the bloodline is closely related to proficiency, Arnold has just obtained the bloodline, and it is still a question whether he can exert 30% of his strength, but the ghost hand has already mastered his own bloodline, not to mention the gap between the two sides in the evolution point, the two are not at the same level at all.
Therefore, Arnold could only endure and endure, without saying a word...
