Although there was still half an hour before the official start of the ball, the banquet hall in the governor's palace was already overcrowded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dignitaries and dignitaries in expensive dresses skillfully shuttled through the hall.

The floor is covered with a delicate calfskin carpet, and a dozen crystal lamps hang from the ceiling.

These lanterns are covered with different colored light masks, which are carefully arranged to project strange and brilliant colors.

It just sets off a graceful and elegant atmosphere, but not too dazzling.

In the middle of the hall is a headlamp made up of dozens of opals.

Three fist-sized night pearls are formed as the main theme of the light.

There are musicians playing music, and the music is melodious.

The waiter shuttles through the crowd with a tray, and in the corner of the table he opens the tray, and the aroma is overflowing, and the gourmet, who has traveled to hundreds of islands, raises his crystal clear wine glass and feasts on it.

People who know each other well talk about business at sea, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

And for people who don't know each other, this is the best opportunity to network.

Dignitaries and dignitaries from various islands gathered together and took the initiative to talk a few words, and maybe the hoarded goods found their next home.

Lin Ye stood in the corner of the hall and calmly looked at the scene in front of him.

The expressions of the wealthy businessmen and magnates were all in his eyes.

Charana and Fant looked very restrained.

After all, they had never been to such an occasion.

Jason was already surprised by this, and when he entered the banquet hall, many people gathered around him.

After all, he is a well-known big man in Undercurrent City, and not only the local dignitaries need to give him face.

Even businessmen from other places who want to do business smoothly on Undercurrent Island have to nod their heads to agree.

Jason had no intention of introducing Lin Ye to these people, there was no need, and it would be a mistake to say too much.

Second, in his opinion, this boy from an unknown origin is just a partner who has temporarily reached common interests with him.

This kid only needs to conquer Miss Yufe's level.

Other things don't require his involvement at all.

"It's delicious, Link, won't you taste it?" Van took a seafood platter from the table and ate it with relish.

For a poor boy like him, who grew up in a fishing village, this delicacy is simply hard to come by.

If he didn't taste it, he would be so sorry for his own stomach.

"There are so many people here, you have to pay attention to the wording. Charana reminded Vant, expressionless.

They are now servants and retinues of the Duke.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot, Lord Duke!" Van immediately reversed.

He reluctantly put the dinner plate back, and compared to eating, it was really more important than the business.

It would be very bad if the greed for a momentary appetite missed Link's big thing.

"It's okay, haven't you noticed that we've been in for so long, and no one has come to talk to us, and no one is even looking at us?" Lin Ye threw out a question.

His words were soft, and he didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

"It's true that you said that, those people are talking to each other, but no one pays attention to us, what's going on?

He hadn't done anything risky since he was so old, and now he was pretending to be a retinue of the duke, which made him a little uneasy.

There is always a feeling that I am sinning.

"Don't scare yourself, if someone finds out, the guards will come and arrest us a long time ago, and it won't be as calm as it is now. Charana said angrily.

At the same time, she also looked at Lin Ye, hoping to seek the answer to her question.

This scene is really strange.

"I think there are probably two reasons, first, I am a duke from the Miracle Continent, I have no relatives and no reason in the vast sea, and I have no business dealings with these dignitaries, and I have no intersection of interests with them, and second, they are not optimistic that we can win the marriage. ”

Lin Ye drank a glass of water, and most of the people in this hall were people who traded in various free states on the sea.

At first glance, it was true that no one came to greet him, but they had already touched the bottom of this young man with black hair and black eyes.

Of course, this background is by no means his status as a fallen duke, but the nobles of the Lionheart Empire that Jason weaved for him.

These elites weighed him and put him on the blacklist of unworthy friends early.

Knowing such a duke who can't bring real money is simply a meaningless thing.

Unless someone wants to expand their business to the interior of the Miracle Continent, but even so, they are still more inclined to make friends with local nobles.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management, this duke, whose territory is said to be in a poor and remote place in the interior of the empire, is really unthinkable to make friends.

He traveled thousands of miles to Undercurrent Island, and most of the time he couldn't get along on land.

And who knows if he's a liar or not?

"But how do they know our details?" Van was still puzzled.

Because this is the first time they have shown up since Jason wrote the script for them.

"Of course it's Jason who released the news, obviously he put a smoke bomb, but don't care about that, no one pays attention to us, it's better for us, Governor Dupont has come over, listen to what he has to say. ”

Although Lin Ye had never met Governor Dupont, the ruler of this Undercurrent City, it did not prevent him from recognizing the Governor from the crowd.

After all, both the bearing and the costumes are there.

Coupled with the originally noisy crowd and the atmosphere of sudden silence, it is not difficult to guess that the wise middle-aged man who walked to the stage is Governor Dupont.

"All the gentry in Undercurrent City, as well as all the distinguished guests who have come from afar, welcome to Undercurrent Island to participate in the little girl's coming-of-age ceremony, the governor is very pleased, you must also know that in addition to celebrating the little girl's coming-of-age ceremony, the governor is also ready to choose a son-in-law for her, this is probably also your intention, right?"

Governor Dupont was straight to the point.

He was flanked by two clerks, and there was no shadow of Miss Yuffy.

If the young lady was present, I am afraid that I would have been ashamed of his words.

"Of course, Miss Yuffie is gentle and virtuous, and she is beautiful, and to marry such a wife is something that even a god would be jealous of. ”

There are people in the crowd who echo it, and those who can say such things will naturally not be the main candidates for the aspiration.

It's just that I want to be a favor.

"Yuffie is just a female streamer, and she can't inherit Undercurrent City, so her husband will be the heir of Undercurrent City, so this Governor will choose carefully, there will be several tests waiting for you from tomorrow, and whoever performs the best in these tests will be the next Governor of Undercurrent City. ”

Governor Dupont's gaze swept across the hall.

There were probably more than a hundred people in the hall.

His gaze was wise and heroic, and as resolute as steel.

But Lin Ye didn't have a high opinion of him.

After all, he really disagrees with the practice of pushing his daughter out for public marriage.

Of course, this is a product of the times, and marriages between nobles are normal.

"Before that, I hope that you can relax and enjoy the friendship of the landlords, so this ball is specially held, and I hope you can have a good time. Governor Dupont clapped his hands and smiled meaningfully.

Dozens of costumed dancers streamed in through the side door.

The guests, who were still a little uncomfortable, saw this scene and understood it.

The dancers skillfully shuttled through the crowd, and some guests hugged their favorite dancers directly to the waist.

Bursts of laughter.

Fant watched this scene in amazement.

Charana looked disgusted.

"Is this the life of a nobleman?" Lin Ye shook his head.

"Where is the source of this sense of disobedience?"
