Volume 3: The Splitter Chapter 178: Breaking In [Second Update]
The sight of aristocratic carriages passing in front of the town's houses amazed the townspeople, who had never seen so many nobles visit since the Lane family had moved here to become their lords. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The carriage stopped in front of Castle Lyon.
Forlin's butler personally stood at the door, greeting the distinguished guests from all sides.
At this moment, the two of them stood in front of the window on the second floor of the castle, looking at the brightly lit manor in front of the carriages, all of which were planted with the flags of their respective families.
"It's almost time for people to arrive, let's go down to accompany the guests, as the host, we can't be too rude." The old patriarch of Fulin said to Du Dian.
Dudian nodded slightly.
The two of them went downstairs together and entered the decorated hall, which had only been lit with four oil lamps, but now it was lit with more than a dozen, and it was as illuminated as day. I saw a brightly dressed nobleman with an extraordinary temperament with his wife or children, eating snacks and wine in the hall, chatting casually.
When Du Dian and the old patriarch of Fulin went downstairs, these chatting nobles immediately turned their eyes on, obviously paying attention to this place for a long time.
"Oh, old Fulin, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you still look so energetic!" A middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat standing next to the stairs saw Fulin coming downstairs, and immediately raised his glass and said with a smile.
Dudian glanced at him, he had heard Flynn say that this middle-aged man was the Nikon family in the neighboring towns, and he was also a declining little nobleman, and unlike a once glorious nobleman like Ryan, this Nikon family had always been a small nobleman, surviving to this day.
The old patriarch of Fulin smiled lightly and said, "After the prize, are you still used to drinking wine?" ”
"I knew you had such a good wine here, I would have come here a long time ago." The middle-aged man laughed.
Fulin smiled slightly and said, "You are welcome at any time in the future." ”
At this time, other nobles next to him also gathered over and greeted Fulin, these nobles who came had a total of eight families, most of them were the patriarchs in person, and only two families were the patriarchs who were too old and the same generation as Fulin, so they sent their children over to congratulate them instead.
"As the old saying goes, a thin tiger is stronger than a wolf." A noble lady with a graceful temperament said with a smile: "The Lane family must have wanted to make a big move when they founded the consortium this time, right?" ”
As she spoke, everyone else looked at Forint with smiles.
Fulin smiled lightly and said, "Since you are founding a consortium, you naturally want to make a lot of money, don't you want to?" ”
"Oh?" The previous middle-aged man of the Niken family said with interest: "So, old patriarch, what is your good way to make money?" ”
Fulin smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later, the party is about to start, let's listen to the music first, I specially invited the master of the St. Peter's Conservatory of Music to come over and play to wash your ears." ”
Seeing that he had diverted the topic, the others did not continue to ask questions, and entered the hall with the old patriarch of Fulin, and came to the seat in front of the music performance table that had been set up long ago.
"Who is this?" Another middle-aged man with a fat figure looked at Du Di'an, who was inseparable from Fulin, and asked suspiciously.
Fulin said with a smile: "This is the hunter of our consortium, Mr. Dudian. ”
"Hunter?" Hearing Fu Lin's words, the faces of several nobles sitting next to him changed, and they subconsciously deviated slightly and distanced themselves, but they soon realized that this was rude and had no effect, so they returned to their original state. The middle-aged man who asked Fa Fu squeezed out a smile on his face, and said: "I didn't expect that your consortium had just been established, and it was really fierce to attract hunters to join so quickly, hehe......"
Dudian noticed the fear in the eyes of these nobles, his expression was calm, from the old man Fu Lin he knew that the hunter is not only a very favorite existence for the nobles, but also an extremely hated existence, love because the hunter can bring them wealth, but the hatred is that the hunter is extremely irritable, and extremely dangerous, there have been many times in history that the hunter is angry out of control and kills the nobleman on the spot.
Although the hunters were executed by the chastissmen of the Inquisition afterwards, the dead nobles would not be resurrected, so most nobles were reluctant to get too close to the hunters, and even if they did, they were often letterheads, occasionally needed to talk face-to-face, and would secretly arrange knight protection to guard against such a dangerous object at any time.
Even, in the eyes of most nobles, the hunters were not regarded as "the same kind" at all, but as the same monsters as the monsters outside the walls.
The others knew Du Dian's identity, and they also smiled a little stiffly for a while.
When Dudian saw their smiles, he suddenly felt a little familiar, when he attended the gathering of the nobles of the Mellon Consortium, when he saw Glaile and the high-ranking hunters of another consortium entering, the nobles took the initiative to greet each other "friendly", he was too young at the time to notice the vague fear in the smile, but now he clearly felt it.
"The concert is almost here." Fulin smiled.
Dudian glanced at him, looked at the smile on his wrinkled face, calmed down, and quietly looked up to enjoy the music on the stage.
This music concert is a professional large team, there are more than 20 people, under the signal of the old patriarch of Fulin, the conductor of the concert will know, slowly raise the baton in his hand, and the notes like gurgling water float out, surrounding the hall, refreshing people's hearts, so that the children of the old man of Fulin sitting at the back and corner of the hall and the children brought by these nobles can listen leisurely and intoxicated.
Suddenly, the door of the hall was pushed open with a creak, and a group of figures entered the hall, and one of the sunny male voices sneered: "The old patriarch of Fulin is so anxious, has the banquet started before anyone arrived?" ”
The flowing music came to an abrupt end.
The seemingly peaceful atmosphere in the hall also suddenly froze.
Everyone looked back, and their faces suddenly changed slightly, and the middle-aged man who was sitting next to Du Dian exclaimed in a low voice: "The Mel family? The Milan family? How did they come? ”
When Du Dian turned around, he also recognized the identity of the person who came, the first was a slender and elegant girl, her cheeks were extremely beautiful, like a dream, her delicately cut clothes lined with a noble temperament, and next to her stood a little back half a foot was a young man, gorgeous platinum clothing, with a straight posture, like a knight, wearing a noble fencing around her waist, and her spirit was magnificent.
Behind the two men were five or six knights, and two squires.
The other nobles noticed the names symbolized by the family crest on the shoulders of these knights, and their faces changed, and in fact, even if they didn't see the family crest, they could recognize the origin of the young man and woman who led the leader. (To be continued.) )
