Chapter 3 Birthday Banquet

This day is perhaps the most important day of the Midtown Federation, this day in the Midtown seems so unusual, and the Fonta Manor, located in the platinum district of the Midtown, is particularly lively, because today, it is the 60th birthday of the head of the Fonta family, Fonta Narous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of the consuls, nobles, and wealthy merchants of the Central Capital were invited to the Fonta Estate, and Fonta Narous was arguably the greatest figure in the entire Midtown Federation.

Lee Bosser walked along the avenue leading to the Fonta estate with his wife and children, and on this day the poor were not allowed to appear anywhere except the slums, and the common people tried to hide in their homes and not get into trouble. This is the culture of the Midtown Federation, where everything is a country where the aristocracy is paramount.

"Father, today is like a holiday. Rihanna looked back and forth, but apparently didn't show much excitement.

With a kind smile on his face, Poser gently stroked Rihanna's long hair, he liked this daughter very much, although Rihanna often felt annoyed and helpless because of the problem of the poor, but it is undeniable that Rihanna will always be the pistachio in the family,

"My darling, today is indeed a festival, for Mr. Fonta Narous is the most remarkable man in the country, and his sixtieth birthday is like a national celebration. ”

"So today, do all the poor have to stay in the dark and dirty ghetto?" Rihanna suddenly stopped, her eyes widened, and she stared at Bossel.

"Oh my God, Rihanna!" Mrs. Lee covered her mouth and screamed unconsciously. And Rihanna ignored her mother's screams and still stared at her father.

Poser had a gloomy face and glared at Rihanna fiercely.

"I don't think you should be worried about that. Poser replied bluntly, Rihanna's point made him quite dissatisfied, which is obviously not what a nobleman should do.

"Oh, yes, what punishment will they receive for leaving the ghetto today, will the federal guards just chop them up, my dear father!" Rihanna stared into Bosser's eyes without showing any hint.

"You ......"

"Rihanna, don't talk back to your father!" reprimanded Coriano, who had always been on his father's side on this issue, after all, the life and death of the disgusting lower class of the poor did not matter. Coriano has always been opposed to Rihanna's mercy on the poor, and he quarrels with Rihanna about it.

"Alright, Corey, don't scold Rihanna. Baggio quickly interjected, he didn't want to make the situation more embarrassing, although he had always been on his father's side when it came to the issue of the poor, but he knew that if he also had a seizure, everyone would not want to spend the whole day today.

Baggio turned to Bosser again.

"Father, don't be angry, today is Mr. Narus's birthday, and if our family goes with an angry face, we will definitely cause trouble. ”

Poser didn't speak, still glaring at Rihanna.

"My dear sister, this topic is over, and if you have any questions, let's go back and talk about it. Baggio said to Rihanna in a calm tone.

"It's a small request as an older brother. Baggio thought for a moment, then added, because he knew Rihanna's personality too well.

Rihanna nodded slightly, ignored the crowd, and walked forward quickly, while Madame Lee pulled Coriano and chased after him, leaving only Posel and Baggio behind.

"Butch, help me keep an eye on Rihanna!" Poser still had a gloomy face, he was afraid that Rihanna would fall like this, Rihanna's current behavior had already made him feel ashamed, and he didn't want to be further humiliated.

"Okay father, Rihanna will understand all this eventually. Bagio smiled slightly, in fact, for Rihanna, Bagio really didn't know what to do, he didn't want to treat his little sister with a tough attitude.

The Lee Poser family finally arrived at Fonta Manor, the largest and most remarkable estate in the entire Middle Capital, built by a well-known designer with many years of history and tradition, and the Fonta family has been the most important ruling nobleman of the Midtown Federation. On both sides of the outer gate of the manor, there is a statue of an eagle, the eagle has always been the family crest of the Fonta family, the center of the manor yard is a gorgeous fountain, in the middle of the Fonta manor, there is a tall tower, called the "Eye of the Fonta", there is a piece of magic energy crystal on the top floor of the tower, which has been injected into the "Wide Field Technique" by many powerful mages, and the Fonta family can monitor the situation around the Fonta Manor through here.

The Fonta family has its own private team, the most famous of which is the Black Knights of Fonta, an excellent fighting force now led by Fonta Naruth's seventh son, the twenty-one-year-old Fonta Krum. In addition to the Fonta Black Knights, the Fonta family also has the most professional team of mages, the Fonta Black Robe Mage Association, this mage will be different from the Fonta Black Knights, the Fonta Black Knights are more of a combat talent cultivated by the Fonta family itself, and the Fonta Black Robe Mage Association is a mage assembly that is privately invested by the Fonta family and gathers senior mages from all over the world, nominally, this is a private organization belonging to the Fonta family, but in fact, the Mage Association will act on the entire Midtown Federation, the meaning of the existence of the Mage Guild is also the guarantee of the authority of the Fonta family, and the head of the Fonta Black Robe Mage Association is the third son of Fonta NarousFonta Siris, now Chinese New Year's Eve six, is a well-known black-robed mage.

Fonta Narous had five wives, eleven sons, six daughters, and countless grandchildren. Among the children of Fonta Narus, the eldest son, Fonta Eduardo, the second son, Fonta Jan, the third son, Fonta Cialis, the fifth son, Fonta Accos, the sixth son, Fonta Lemans, and the seventh son, Fonta Krum, were the most important in the family.

At this time, there were already a lot of guests at Fonta Manor, Lee Bosser's family was introduced to the manor, Boxer took his wife and children, and greeted some guests one by one, which was an indispensable way to entertain on this occasion, Bagio had already followed his father to deal with many such situations, so it was commonplace, Bagio found a free time, took a break, and walked out of the Fonta Banquet Hall alone.

"Whew!" Bagio gasped, he stood alone on the balcony of the banquet hall on the second floor of the Fonta Manor, the winter nights in Zhongdu were extremely cold, but for Bagio, he would rather stay outside in the cold than enter the noisy banquet hall, in fact, many times, Bagio is a person who likes to be lively, but whenever the atmosphere is too lively, Bagio likes to stay alone.

Bagio looked back at the noisy crowd in the room.

"Hmph, politics, ......", Baggio understood the purpose of most of the people in the banquet hall, and even more understood the meaning of attending Fonta Narous's birthday banquet, all for political purposes. Bagio is a warrior who likes to wield a long sword, but he also understands that as the eldest son of the Li family, sooner or later, he will also enter the political arena, and although he doesn't like all this, he must accept it all.

"Okay, okay, well, the political career of the aristocracy is much better than the fate of those filthy poor, isn't it?" said Baggio to himself every time.

"You're out there alone, isn't it cold?"

"Huh?" Baggio turned to look at him, and a girl with a beautiful face appeared in front of him, the girl had long blond hair, big black eyes, and was dressed in a gown, very decent, not tall, and probably not too old.

"Are you?" asked Baggio, confused, knowing that it was the child of some nobleman, but he should still make sure that the girl was from which family.

"Alice......" the girl hesitated, "Fonta Alice." ”

Baggio nodded slightly, thinking that this was the child of the Fonta family, but he didn't know if she was the daughter of Fonta Narous or the granddaughter.

"Hello, I'm Lee Baggio, the eldest son of the Lee family. ”

"The Li family...... Lee Bosser?" Alice looked very cute as she stared at Baggio with big eyes, "I've heard your father's name, and he has a lot of praise for him. ”

"Oh, really? ...... you?"

"Alice, it's cold outside, what are you doing there?" A handsome young man in a black gown walked in, and when he walked in, he saw Baggio standing on the veranda,

"Who are you, what are you doing standing here?"

The man's tone was very haughty, which made Bagio very angry, but Bagio was not an impulsive person, and he knew that this man must be a child of the Fonta family

"My name is Lee Baggio, and I just want to get out and breathe. Baggio said truthfully, he didn't want to get himself in trouble.

"Lee Baggio? It turned out to be a kid of the Lee family. The young man sneered.

"It's not easy to climb to the position of the ruling councilor. The man's tone was full of mockery and provocation.

"Jeka, you're so rude to talk like that!" Alice was visibly unhappy with the young man's behavior.

"My Alice, my sister, we don't need to be polite to such an inferior nobleman!" Jacka looked at Baggio with a mocking, while Alice glared at Jacka fiercely.

"I'm Fonta Jacka, the tenth son of Fonta Narous, fourteen years old, and I'm about to join the Federal Tactical Academy! remember me!" Jaca said haughtily, apparently arrogant.

"Hmph," Baggio couldn't help but sneer.

"That's good, I'll graduate from the Federal Tactical Academy this year, and after graduation, I should be working at the Federal Tactical Academy, and I hope I can be your instructor when the time comes!" Baggio stared at Jacka defiantly, although Bagio is not an impulsive person, he is indeed not a good-natured person.

"You bastard!" Jakka yelled as he pulled out the dagger that hung from his waist. Generally speaking, many men wear decorative swords around their waists when attending banquets, which are generally unbladed and more decorative than combat.

"Stop!" Alice yelled, trying to stop her, but Jacka pushed Alice away.

"Draw your sword, fool!" said Jerka at Baggio, who had never been humiliated since he was a child, and who had never nodded when anyone but his elders saw him.

As for Baggio, he just looked at Jacka with a sneer, he understood that he must not draw his sword, and if he drew his sword, it would put the Li family in an awkward position, and he also understood from the way Jacka drew his sword that he didn't need to draw his sword to deal with such a straw bag, you know, Baggio is the best student in this federal tactical academy.

"Die, fool!" Seeing that Baggio did not draw his sword, he was even more unscrupulous, and directly took the sword assassin over, and when Bagio was about to respond, a silver goblet flew from behind Gerka, and hit Jackah's sword-holding right arm.

"Ahh

"Which bastard would dare to ......" Jerka was furious, and when he turned around, he didn't dare to speak again. A solemn man stood not far behind him, and Bagio recognized him as the famous Fonta Krum.

"Brother Krum!" Alice was very happy to see Krum's appearance, she ran to Krum's side and pulled his arm, and Krum also smiled faintly when she saw Alice. Krum is a simple-looking man, with a round black hairstyle, a short scar on his left cheek, dark eyes, and a very strong figure.

"Krum...... I ......" Jaca was obviously very afraid of this brother, and he didn't dare to look up at Krum's face, but just lowered his head and thought about what he should say.

Back in the ballroom, my father was ready to speak. Krum didn't look at Jaka, his eyes were on Baggio, but there was not the slightest hint of sarcasm or anger in his eyes. Jerka nodded, not daring to say more, and walked briskly back to the banquet hall.

Baggio nodded slightly at Krum and Alice, and took a step towards the ballroom.

"You're Lee Baggio?" When Baggio and Krum passed by, Krum suddenly asked, Baggio looked back at Krum, and nodded slightly, he didn't know what Krum was thinking now, he knew that if the young head of the Black Knights of Fonta wanted to kill him, it would be too easy.

"You don't have to worry, Brother Krum is not an unreasonable person. Alice clearly saw Baggio's concern, and she smiled, and when she smiled, a faint dimple appeared on her cheeks, which was very beautiful.

Krum also smiled slightly, he stroked Alice's long blonde hair, then turned his face and stared at Bagio, who let go of his heart because of the friendly look in Krum's eyes.

"I've heard of you, the best of the Federal Tactical Academy this time, and your field survival rating this time even broke my original record. ”

"Oh, it's so embarrassing that I broke your record. Baggio smiled slightly, he has always been very confident in his results.

"You're graduating soon, do you have any plans for the future?" asked Krum, and Alice was obviously interested in Baggio, and she looked at Baggio expectantly.

"I think I should stay at the Federal Tactical Academy as an instructor, after all, teaching there is also very helpful for me. Baggio replied truthfully that he had also thought about what to do after graduation before making such a decision.

"Hmm. Krum nodded approvingly, clearly agreeing with Baggio's decision.

"Cadets who have graduated from the Federal Tactical Academy, in fact, very few people can immediately serve as instructors, only some particularly outstanding people will have this treatment and can be hired as instructors after graduation, obviously the senior management of the Federal Tactical Academy has already talked to you, this is very good for you, and as an instructor there, you will continue to grow. ”

Krum knew all this, because he also had a job as an instructor immediately after graduation, and at the age of seventeen he began to become an instructor at the Federal Tactical Academy, where he served for three years, until he resigned from his position as an instructor at the age of twenty and returned to the Fonta family, where he became the head of the Black Knights of Fonta.

"I thought so too, so I chose to stay at the Federal Tactical Academy, where I would graduate in a month and then take up the post right away at the age of seventeen. Baggio replied that he was still confident about his future.

"It's really powerful, you're as good as several of our brothers in the Fonta family. Alice couldn't help but admire, and Baggio smiled in gratitude to her.

"Well, you are indeed an excellent person, and if you were a member of our Fonta family, I would really like you to become the deputy head of our Fonta Black Knights. Krum smiled at Baggio.

Bagio looked at Krum in surprise, after all, Krum's evaluation of Bagio was really quite high, not to mention that it felt like there was something to say.

"Okay, let's go back, if we delay, my father's words are probably finished. Krum said calmly but with good intentions.

Baggio nodded, and Krum went first, while Alice and Baggio followed Krum into the ballroom.

The banquet hall was quiet at this time, only Fonta Narus's voice resounded throughout the hall at this time, Fonta Narus said a lot, and Bagio didn't hear it, because he had just followed Krum into the banquet hall, but the next paragraph went straight to Bagio's ears, and this paragraph was enough to affect the entire Midtown Federation, and even the Yarrow Continent.

“...... What I want to say now is that I am old, I turn sixty this year......"

Fonta Narous spoke on the stage, and everyone looked at him, at this symbol of federal power in Midtown, and no one spoke, just waited for him to continue.

"My time can be turned over, and the Midtown Federation should usher in a new era, so I'm announcing today......" Everyone held their breath.

"From this day, I will step down from the position of patriarch of the Fonta family......" The crowd began to be noisy, everyone exchanged ears, it was obvious that Fonta Narus's decision was beyond everyone's expectations, and the people of the Fonta family seemed very calm, they had obviously received the answer in advance.

"From this day forward, my eldest son, Fonta Eduardo, will be the patriarch of the Fonta family! The Fonta family will welcome a new dawn under the leadership of Eduardo!" At this point, Narus looked at Eduardo, Eduardo nodded slightly to his father, and Narus looked at the nine members of the ruling council in turn, some of them were stunned, some were calm, and each had their own situation.

"I'm going to stay in office, but I'm only going to be in that position for five years, and in five years Eduardo will take my place, because in those five years, Eduardo will have some interesting work to do, and we'll come back to Parliament. ”

Next, Fonta Narous said a few more words, and then Fonta Eduardo came to the stage, he said a lot, every word was convincing, this may be another glorious beginning of the Fonta family, or a continuation of the glory, but after today's birthday feast, the Midtown Federation will obviously cause a lot of shock, what will be tomorrow?
