The mercenary captain turned away after saying this, she walked a little hand and foot, and the sound of her footsteps was very soft, which may have something to do with her being thin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

After turning around on a rainy day, Fidel subconsciously sniffed the "black flash" on his body -- what kind of smell was the "smell of resentment" that the other party was talking about? Since the other party was the leader of a mercenary group, it stands to reason that he must have some ability, but no matter how much ability this female leader named Yutian has, she must belong to the category of weirdos.

In his room there were two evening dresses, one black and one light blue. No matter which set of workmanship is very fine, but Fielder has never worn this kind of clothes, even for any special occasions, Fielder always shows people in armor. When he was back home, Fielder was not interested in social etiquette, believing that it was just a group of pretending people pandering to each other, wasting time and posturing.

However, Feder tried on the evening dresses before going to sleep, and he found that he looked a bit aristocratic in them, but the awkward look still forced Feder to take them off as soon as possible.

Early the next morning, the servant knocked on Fed's door and put a fresh breakfast on the table, along with Zebuba, who entered Fed's room.

"Good morning, Chief Fidel," Zebuba has a wide chin and thin lips, and people like this can be seen everywhere, "Did you rest well last night?"

"It's fine. Fylde picked up a piece of freshly baked bread and put it in his mouth, and the bread tasted surprisingly delicious.

Zebuba took out an invitation card from his waist pocket, "This is the proof for Captain Fei to enter and leave the banquet site, as long as Captain Fei takes out this invitation in front of the guards, those guards will not hinder the movement of His Excellency the Commander in the venue." Duke Yannis's dinner begins at seven o'clock in the evening, and when the time comes, I'll come here with Newt and take Captain Fed and Captain Rainy to the banquet hall, and when Captain Fentry wants to leave, just hand over the invitation to one of the guards, and he'll bring you back, Captain Fish. ”

Zebuba also told Fidel about some things that needed attention, and after hearing these words, Fidel had already realized that the little duke's birthday party would be very closely guarded, and anyone who wanted to move around the venue at will was not allowed, which may be related to the blood banquet incident and the current grim situation in the Duchy of Magini.

Throughout the morning and afternoon, Fed did not leave the room for half a step, and Feder was still thinking about Leon, the leader of the rebels. Vittorio had told himself that the rebel cadres had taken Leon to the capital city of Black Marsh, and that Marie and Lazrov had claimed to have come to Black Marsh to find Leon. Although Vittorio did not mention these four people in his plan, Fidel did not know if they would affect the Duke's birthday party, and he only hoped that Mary and Lazrov would not have anything to do with Duke Yanis.

Feder flipped through the "banquet etiquette" that Mayf had asked him to bring with him, memorizing various points. In fact, there are not many banquets that Fei De has attended, but most of the time, Fei De does not need to show anything, and there are other companions to help him answer. This time it was Fidel who faced the banquet of the principality nobles alone, so Fidel did not take it lightly, after all, if a mercenary captain wants to rise to the top of the ranks, the support of the nobles is indispensable.

"Your Excellency, Commander..."Zebuba stood behind him in the rain, and both of them looked at the black armor on Fidel's body, "Are you really not going to wear the evening dress we prepared for you?"

Still not used to it, only when wearing this black armor will feel the most comfortable. That's what Fidel thought, but he said, "Those two outfits don't fit well." ”

"We'll be ready for you right away..."

"No, that's fine. ”

Zebuba didn't say anything more, it was rather rude not to wear a dress to the banquet, but as long as Fid didn't carry a weapon.

Newt waited for the three of them not far away, "Wait a minute, neither I nor Zebuba will enter the banquet, and the two captains will tell the guards if they have any orders, and they will deal with your request." ”

Fei De walked behind the rainy day, and the other guests lined up to enter the banquet hall. Fei De didn't see anyone else wearing armor to the banquet, whether it was the guards guarding the entrance or the nobles of Black Swamp City, they all paid attention to Fei De's body, whispering to each other.

Except for the rainy day where he had a few words yesterday, Fed didn't know anyone else. As soon as he walked into the banquet hall, he kept reminding himself that he must always keep an eye on Duke Yannis's situation, because protecting him was the mission that Vittorio had told him to do, and it was also an important purpose of his visit.

The banquet hall was quite casual, with nobles, merchants, and ministers standing in groups and quarters, and all kinds of food and wine were casually placed on the tables for consumption. Fed noticed that there were about a hundred attendees on the ground floor of the ballroom, and at least thirty attendees standing by the fence on the second floor. However, there were quite a few guards standing in the venue, at least thirty people, and even those servants were in charge of the guards, and no one would doubt the safety of this birthday party.

"Oh, you must be the head of Field!" a bearded middle-aged nobleman walked over with a wine glass and a cake, and he shoved the cake into his mouth before choosing to stretch out a hand to shake Field's hand, "I am Viscount Lawrence of Frye Castle, and it is my honor to meet you on this occasion today!" The pot-bellied Viscount kept saying compliments to Fielder without even wiping his mouth clean, and Fielder only tried to suppress his disgust and cope with the other party's words.

Viscount Lawrence claimed to be the "connector" between the southern aristocracy and the capital region, and his home city, Frye Castle, was located in the northernmost part of the southern region, so he had heard of Captain Fed. Most of the people who came to Black Swamp City to attend the duke's birthday party were nobles from the vicinity of the capital region, and the southern nobles did not attend because of defense problems.

"Hey, Commander, you must know that our Principality of Mageni has always had a good relationship with the mercenary union and most of the mercenary groups in the country, and this time it is a just struggle for the Principality of Mageni, so the mercenaries will definitely be on our side, just like Captain Feide, you are on our side!"

Lawrence and his aristocratic friend were chatting there, and Feder just picked up a green drink casually and stood aside to watch the other party's social movements. The female leader of the Rain Mercenary Regiment, Yu Tian, has long since disappeared, maybe that kind of person will be more disgusted with such a social occasion than Fei De himself, right?

"Captain Fed, I heard that you have won the favor of Miss Maevie in Fonta, which is a great thing for you!" The nobles mentioned Maeve when talking about the young beauties of the Duchy of Mageni, "Count Endrida and Madame Eli have considerable influence in the southern region, and their only daughter, Miss Maevie, should have had a chance to be taken by Duke Yannis..."

Another nobleman immediately answered: "Duke Yannis will only be fifteen years old after today, and Miss Maev from Fangta City is in her twenties, even if you want to leave an heir to the Duchy of Mageni earlier, you shouldn't choose such an old Maevie." ”

Lawrence said, "Our principality is employing people, and there are not many battle-hardened warriors like Captain Field!

"Hehe, there are all kinds of 'battle marks' on it, it can't be that you want to show your bravery in front of Duke Yannis, right?"

The group of aristocrats surrounded Lawrence, and they were observant of everyone, and some of the nobles tried to touch Field's bottom line in the conversation, but Field, who only responded with words like "uh-huh, oh", didn't care what they said. Fett was observing the scene of the birthday party, and he didn't find anything suspicious, but the words of Vittorio and Captain Rainy Day reminded him that there was a high probability that an assassin would appear here and assassinate the young duke.

Neither did Phyld hear anyone talk about the war at home, nor did he frown. This group of noble ministers were all dressed in the finest clothes, eating delicate snacks that the poor had never heard of, and most of them looked like Viscount Lawrence, some "superior people" with fat brains.

"The Duke is here... The Duke of Yannis is hereβ€”" said a nobleman whispering to Lawrence, and Feder followed the eyes of the others as they looked at the second enclosure of the banquet hall, where an elegant noblewoman of about forty years of age was holding the hand of a boy, and around them stood several knights in heavy plate armor.

"Lord Duke Yannis!, Mrs. Dalty!" the nobles shouted in unison, and fell to one knee as they fell to their knees. Fidel followed their example, but instead of lowering his head like the others, he raised his head to pay attention to his surroundings.

The diminutive boy shouted, "Excuse me!" The boy was led to the ground floor of the banquet hall by the noblewoman beside her, and all the nobles walked to the sides, and Feder was squeezed into the crowd by Lawrence's big ass.

"Today is the birthday of Duke Yannis of the Duchy of Magini, and it is a joy to see so many people coming to congratulate the Duke on his birthday, please give our Duke a drink!" The lady named Dalty should be the mother of Duke Yannis, she had not let go of Yannis's hand when she spoke, and she did not know who wanted to hold the other person's hand.

"For the Duchy of Magini! For the Duke of Yannis!" the nobles shouted as they drank their wine.

Fett noticed that Duke Yannis was different from the average boy of fourteen or fifteen, he was shorter than his peers, and even his facial features had not grown.

As soon as Duke Yannis and Lady Doerty entered, the voices of the nobles consciously lowered a lot. Because this birthday party was not a formal dinner, all the attendees scattered around after congratulating the Duke of Yannis, and continued to drink and chat.

Some of the nobles began to bring the beautiful gifts they had brought to Duke Yannis and Lady Doerty, who had already passed on the armor that Lady Eli had given to Fidel.

"Wow!" Duke Yannis suddenly shouted.
