Chapter 66: The Marquis's Dinner

Today, Avenue de Manias has once again become the focus of attention of the newspapers of the Capital of Knowledge, and a small dinner party for the Marquis of Snape, the richest man in Yarra, is once again held on this street after a few years. The clouds of war are hovering over the world of Yarra www.biquge.info inside information has not been released to the public, but many people with a keen sense of smell have smelled the ominous breath, for the outcome of this war, many insiders inevitably have pessimistic feelings, worried about the recurrence of the tragedy of the return of the dead more than a hundred years ago, and the pessimism from these people in the know as the starting point continues to spread outward, let it develop, causing a large area of panic will be the inevitable result. Therefore, the top leaders of the various forces urgently need the opportunity to show their stability and self-confidence, and only by conveying this confidence to the people can they reassure the people and dispel the panic that has gradually been born.

Marquis Snape's dinner party is just a good opportunity, before the war is about to break out, as the richest man in the world, he can still hold a dinner party so leisurely, for the people, this is an example set invisibly, so the people will subconsciously tell themselves that those people at the top can continue their daily lives so safely, and can hold a dinner without worries, which means that the situation is not bad at all, but far better than imagined, so that the fear in the hearts of the people will largely dissipate, at least not cause uncontrollable chaos。

Because of this, after some mysterious people with tinkling bags visited the major newspapers, the news of the genius mage, who had just caused a sensation in the city for a few days, disappeared from the front page of the Holy Capital newspaper at the same time, and was replaced by the news of the world's richest banqueter. In fact, the identity and influence of the marquis deserve such grand treatment from various newspapers, but after the mage girl just created a sensational news, it is unlikely that the marquis will occupy the front page of all the newspapers by himself as before, but now he has managed to capture all the newspapers, which makes some smart people inevitably feel the taste of official operation. It is foreseeable that tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, although the news of the genius mage girl will slowly regain its share of the newspaper page, the news of the Marquis's night banquet will still firmly occupy the front page of the newspaper, and the stable atmosphere will spread to every corner of the world through the newspaper.

It is undeniable that these high-level people are very skilled in the use of psychological warfare, and the sudden revelation of the genius girl, combined with the banquet of the Marquis, the two favorable news are combined to bombard the brains of the people through the newspapers, so that they can't help but accept the cognition that everything is developing in a good direction, and stabilize everyone's hearts. It can be seen that even in intellectual capitals and even free cities, people's attitudes are often played by high-level people.

"Don't say that. Sitting on the carriage made of mountain core wood, Catherine gently knocked on the soft seats in the carriage, and smiled with a ladylike smile with her other hand: "This can't be said to be a joke, even if it is really a joke, Master Odin They are also playing with good intentions, after all, only if the people can maintain stability, the war of the undead can be won, if the people themselves are in a mess first, then there is no need to fight with the undead, there is no point at all." ”

"That's true for this war, but what about the rest?" said Pennys, sitting next to Catherine, with her legs crossed very leisurely, and the closed carriage made the two not worry about their lazy movements being seen by outsiders, so they could spoil their image to their heart's content. Leaning against the wall of the carriage, Pannis said lazily: "This time, they bought all the newspapers and guided the people's ideas according to their plan, which is for the sake of stability in wartime, which is good, but next time, what if this behavior is repeated for other purposes that are not so good? Where will the people be taken?"

"I don't think it's as exaggerated as you think. Catherine was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "The existence of powerful professionals and the gods of the major churches itself plays a certain supervisory role, and it is probably not so easy for any party to use public opinion to do anything bad." ”

"It's true, it's true that when the goals are not so uniform, it's hard to get the same results as they are now. Pannis shrugged, changed the subject unconcernedly, and tapped on the thick carriage and said, "I didn't expect you to agree that Snape would send this car to pick you up." ”

"Well, I can't help it. Catherine sighed and said with a headache: "Originally, Grandpa Snape wanted to lend me this car for a long time, and his reason was also very good, saying that Vivien is now a genius mage who has caused a sensation all over the world, and if she goes out on foot or in a public carriage as before, she will be harassed and watched by those idle and bored people, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to get out of the gate at that time, so there must be a standing carriage, not for me, but for Vivien's convenience." ”

"Hahaha, this old fellow deserves to be the most successful businessman. Pannis laughed and said, "Even if it's just one of his butlers, no one can match the level of bargaining." ”

"Yes, he knew that I could not accept it, but he made this request for a very good reason, and this reason was indeed ignored by me. Catherine pressed her forehead and said helplessly: "Of course I want to refuse, but for Vivian's travel problem, I always need to find a solution, so I have to go to the middle to rent a carriage as a means of travel." However, the rented carriage can only be used from the next day, so in order not to have a vacancy today, I can only promise him to keep the carriage for the time being, and then drop by in the evening to bring it back. ”

"Hehe, first put forward a condition that the other party could not accept, and then give in a little bit, and finally let the other party accept the conditions he had originally planned. Pannis covered his mouth and smiled: "Catherine, it seems that although your prestige has spread to all the bazaars of the Holy Capital, it is still far from that of their professional merchants. ”

"Hey, do you have any opinion on my attitude towards shopping?" Catherine glared at Pannis, gritting her teeth, "Also, when did my fame spread through all the markets?"

"Hahaha, I really didn't say anything, what you heard just now was just an illusion, Eun, there must be some trap here, it will make people hallucinate. Pannis's eyes wandered out of the window, pointing outside to divert his gaze: "Look, we're almost there, hahaha, it's really fast." ”

"Hmph. Catherine wrinkled her nose and tried her best to keep her vicious appearance, but she couldn't hold back herself, and burst out laughing.
