Chapter 34: The Noble Invitation
Du Di was slightly angry in Anxin, thinking that you were robbing my way, and even said in turn that I don't have long eyes? However, thinking of Peter's instructions, he resisted the urge to refute and said, "It was Mr. Pete who brought me here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Who is Pete?" The middle-aged nobleman frowned, "Actually brought a scavenger here, are there any rules?" ”
"Mr. Mace?" At this time, a voice came from behind, Du Dian and the middle-aged nobleman looked together, it was the tough old man Du Dian saw in the office today, he changed into a black gentleman's suit, and a middle-aged lady next to him held his arm, the two had an affectionate attitude, it seemed to be a husband and wife relationship.
At this time, the old man saw Du Dian and said in surprise: "Little one, what are you doing at this door, didn't Pete come with you?" ”
Dudian said honestly, "Mr. Pete just went in. ”
At this time, the middle-aged nobleman named Mace frowned and said, "Lao Luo, do you know him?" ”
The old man smiled: "I just met, this little guy is the seed target of this class of scavengers, and he will have to rely on Mr. Mace to take care of him in the future." ”
"I see." Mace seemed to understand, and glanced at Du Dian: "Little guy, choose our Mellon consortium, even if you have vision, walk and look at it in the future, don't be in a hurry, there are no rules at all." ”
Dudian's face was ugly, and his fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves.
The old man hurriedly said: "Little guy, apologize to Mr. Mace, go in first, and pay attention in the future, the banquet is about to start, don't delay at the door." As he spoke, he winked at Dudian and signaled that he would be guilty of a mistake.
Du Dian looked at the trace of anxiety on his face, knowing that he was relieving himself, and he also knew that as long as he apologized, this little episode would pass, but he didn't feel half happy in his heart, but felt that his whole body and limbs were gradually cold. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the right and wrong of a thing has nothing to do with the thing itself, what depends on right and wrong is only each other's identity and status!
And these two things are the difference in strength between the two sides!
He suddenly understood that the truth is in the hands of those who have power!
"I'm sorry......" he bowed his head and said apologies, behind him was the golden lights of the hall, and the melodious music, his face was hidden in the shadows, and as far as his eyes could see, the delicate boots of the other party.
Then he saw the boots move, and turned and entered the hall.
The old man seemed to look at him, but said nothing, and walked in.
"These civilians, no matter how well they are tempered and taught, will never learn the rules......" Mace's voice came to his ears from behind, and then the old man echoed the laughter. Dudian still lowered his head and clenched his fists, and after a long time, he raised his head slightly, looked at the wide manor in front of him, and the lantern in front of him, and suddenly felt that it seemed much freer to stay in the darkness that the lantern could not illuminate.
At this time, another noble carriage galloped in.
Dudian silently withdrew his gaze, did not continue to stay in the doorway, and turned and entered the hall.
The vast hall was lit by oil lamps as if it were daylight, and a large number of domestic servants were seen shuttling back and forth in the hall with fine wine and cut fruit, melodious piano music was heard in front of the hall, and everywhere stood in the hall the aristocrats dressed and sophisticated, standing together in groups and chatting.
After the previous events, Du Dian was no longer in the mood to enjoy this rare luxurious party, he came to the least crowded window sill, leaned against the window, looked at the appearance of people coming and going in the hall, only felt like a flowing picture scroll in front of his eyes, his heart did not wave, and even a little faint boredom, until suddenly two black uniform figures appeared in his sight, interrupting his trance.
"Hunter?" Dudian immediately recognized the medal on the shoulders of the man and woman, not the silhouette of a giant wall of scavengers, but a black falcon.
I saw that these two hunters were extremely young, seventeen or eighteen years old, and after entering the banquet, when they passed by many nobles along the way, these nobles took the initiative to greet them, obviously they had known each other for a long time.
Soon, the two hunters came to the center of the banquet, where several middle-aged nobles stood, and the same Mace who had apologized earlier to Dudian was also standing, and next to him was a fat noblewoman, and a lean middle-aged man with a mustache.
After the two hunters passed, several middle-aged nobles laughed and chatted with them, the distance was too far for Du Dian to hear what he said, but he could see that these two hunters had a high status in front of the nobles.
"Hunter ......" Dudian's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly thought of the alchemy notes of that Rosyad, one of which recorded one thing that impressed him, that is, vivisection of the hunter!
What happened was that a young hunter was given a task to hunt him down, but he was restrained by a poison made by a potions master and used it as his own experiment, without using anesthetics, and directly dissected into countless pieces of flesh with a knife.
Rothyard found the alien flesh and blood in the hunter's body, which inspired him a lot, and was one of the factors that later led him to certify the success of the three-star alchemist.
"Hey, scavengers?" Just as Du Dian was thinking, suddenly a body appeared.
Du Dian turned his head to look at it, and it was a white-haired old man who spoke, with a kind face, holding a crutch of some age, with a thumb-sized jade embedded in the top, and the clothes on his body were relatively simple.
"Can you come to the party here, are you the seed target of the consortium?" The white-haired old man smiled.
Du Dian nodded slightly and said, "Are you?" ”
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "I'm Fulin Lane, and it's nice to meet you. ”
"Ryan?" Du Di'an's eyes moved, the place where the desert was tested three years ago seemed to be a noble territory called Ryan.
Noticing the slight change in Du Dian's face, the white-haired old man smiled and said, "I think you have heard some things about our Lane family, but they are all old things, so don't mention them." But you, would you be interested in becoming a knight of our Lane family? ”
"Knight?" Du Dian was taken aback, he was no longer in the situation where he didn't know anything three years ago, he had studied hard in the library for three years, and his understanding of this world had become clear, the so-called knight was not just a simple title, but after professional training, as well as the strict assessment of the knight's hall, he was able to obtain a knight's certificate.
"It's that I didn't make it clear." The white-haired old man said: "It's just a name in the establishment, our family will give you the official knight's salary, and you, just need to help our Ryan family explore the wasteland once a year." ”
Du Dian immediately understood his purpose, and said strangely: "This should be unconventional, right, can I still go out to scavenger for your family alone?" ”
"Absolutely." The white-haired old man smiled: "It's just that this is a private act, and you need to bear the toll of the giant wall, in fact, many nobles have privately cultivated some scavengers, although they can't be compared with you regular scavengers, but you can also make some profits outside the giant wall." You can rest assured that the toll fee for this giant wall will be provided by our family. ”
