In the blink of an eye, it was almost time for the banquet to begin, and a large number of blood nobles dressed in formal order entered, and the originally empty venue was already full of people at the moment. The richly dressed aristocrats were greeting each other at this time, and Frank, a human merchant who was one of the hot topics in the city right now, naturally received special attention.

People who didn't know each other came to Frank's side to greet him. Asked if the surprise he had prepared for the party today was the legendary cup.

"I promise it's going to be a surprise to everyone. Frank said tirelessly to the people who came to greet him.

"It's a lot of people. Frank said to the little white beside him, and Certine Ai was losing her temper because there was nothing she could eat in the whole party here.

"Yes, and they're all good. It just feels weird. Xiao Bai frowned and looked at the crowd on all sides and said.

"It's normal to feel weird, just a bunch of nouveau riche. Even after so many years, not many people have cultivated the temperament of true aristocracy. Frank said, "The clothes are all for the sake of intricaciousness, and the purpose of the decoration is to show off." ”

"The pompous and frivolous giant crystal lamp is hung high in the center, attracting everyone's attention. And the tables and chairs that have been passed down from the Dark Ages and can truly represent the heritage are covered with these colorful satins. Frank said as he lifted the satin from his chair, revealing the dark, plain-looking table and chair below.

"What can represent nobility is education and taste, knowledge and history. That's what a nobleman really needs. Frank said, "Instead of this kind of inferior pompousness, it is resplendent but there is no trace of it." ”

"When I got an extraordinary status, I hurried to enjoy and show off, but I didn't think about how I got everything, and I didn't think about how to use it correctly, so I didn't care about losing it. Frank said, "They could have hired the wizards who came here, and asked the fallen wizards to analyze their powers, so they wouldn't have been deceived by such a clumsy cursed cup." ”

"Then there are the stupid gifts, and their real talents should be the dark magic born of curses in their blood, not such funny tricks. Frank looked not far away, and several new generations of Bloodclan were showing off their strength.

Xiao Bai and Frank looked at the bodies of several newborn Bloods, Xiao Hei ignored his master, and instead focused his eyes on the upper floor, and a small cry came from the room.

"The hosts. Xiao Hei asked suddenly.

"Huh?"

"Is that woman really going to kill her own child with her own hands?" asked Xiaobai.

I don't know, it's a question that even he can't answer himself. Human nature is unpredictable, especially with feelings. ”

"Feelings are complex things, and they can drive people crazy in every sense of the word. ”

"I may be good at calculating the weaknesses of human nature, but I can't calculate the madness of human nature. ”

Frank said, "What would you like to see?"

"My mother once died trying to protect my brother, just by asking. Xiao Hei said.

"Yes, your brother, Roque. A final choice surpassed the calculations of me and the guy who didn't know who it was, and he did break free from his fate of becoming a pawn, although even his soul was shattered, but he was free after all. Frank said.

"Do you want to be like him, out of my control?" asked Frank suddenly, turning to Blackie.

"I am the servant of my master, always. Xiao Hei said.

Frank glanced up and down at Blackie, as if he still wanted to say something, and at this moment the banquet was announced.

Deacon walked to a raised platform in the center of the hall and motioned for the crowd to look at him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a day to celebrate, today, today, and we, the Togarrado family, have added a new member, Aran Togalado, who has been blessed with magical talent for restoration!" Deacon said as he looked around.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and Frank wondered what they were cheering for.

Deacon's clothes looked like those of the Bloodline, and the black gown was adorned with countless jewels and various intricate patterns.

However, in Frank's eyes, Deacon in front of him is nothing more than an overdecorated peacock. The meaning of the dress is to foil people, not people to become supporting roles, and let clothes become the protagonists.

Although Bai and Hei were very interested in the many gems on Deacon's body, even Certine Ai looked at Deacon's ornaments, apparently trying to rip some off.

"Don't tear your clothes when you're ready to do it. Frank muttered, and the dark red liquor shook slightly in the glass he held.

The first phase of the feast had begun, a band of half-elves was playing dance music, and the Bloods were dancing on the dance floor as if they were real bigwigs.

"It turns out that the reason why the half-elf is not in the lower city is because of his talent? Frank complained.

"I think it's mainly about the face, don't you see the maid with animal ears over there?" replied Xiaobai.

"Of course, if I'm not mistaken, it seems like my idea. Frank said, "What an interesting party show." ”

The latter sentence was not said to Xiaobai, but to Deacon who came over.

"Yes, these ideas were originally passed down from the human world, but they don't seem to be more suitable for us. Deacon said proudly, the gems on his body can almost blind people at close range.

"Indeed, you are very good people. Frank said, his eyes glancing involuntarily at Deacon's body.

Deacon had clearly noticed Frank's gaze, his chest standing higher, and the jewel on his body reflected a hateful eye in the cup beside Frank.

However, Deacon didn't seem to look down to examine his gems, and his attention was focused on mocking Frank.

"Your clothes are so shabby, especially those of these two ladies, so simple and lacking in novelty. Don't you have any really good aristocrats there?" asked Deacon.

Frank said, "I think it's good, it's the most dignified clothes." ”

"But he lacks color. Deacon said, "You know, there's no such thing as colourful clothing. ”

Frank tugged at his white coat and said, "No, he's very brightly colored. Believe me. ”

Deacon didn't say anything, but walked towards the center of the field with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you remember the purpose of today's gathering. ”

"Tonight is going to be an impressive night, and our new member will be one of us in the most traditional way away from her unfortunate past. ”

"She's going to kill her past! yes, literally. ”

The scene suddenly boiled, and what the nobles on the field did not notice was that the wine glasses in their hands also began to boil, and then slowly calmed down, but the color became more and more gloomy.

"Aram Togarrador will be here to kill her first son and feast on his blood. ”

"And we, guys, will hold magical wine glasses and elegantly taste the blood of the humans raised by my Togarrador family. Naturally, we will not entertain you with the inferior blood of orcs. ”

A chuckle erupted from the field, and Deacon looked around in satisfaction.

"So, let's get our protagonist on the scene!" Deacon said, turning all his gaze to the steps on the second floor.

"So, is Aram the main course? What they want to enjoy is never a cup or two of blood, but a feast for a mother who is forced to kill her own child with her own hands. Pain, despair, and pleading are what they want to see. Funny, isn't it?" Frank whispered, his hand gently grinding his glass.
