Chapter 22: The Banquet Changes
Yilei is a commercial city, and the nobility here is naturally merchants, or capital merchants. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Therefore, as the heir of the Canary Chamber of Commerce, Renault's banquet office is naturally splendid, and the huge banquet hall on the second floor is crowded with guests who come to attend the banquet. Each of them was dressed in splendid dresses, either in company or alone, and it was evident that this was a banquet for young people.
Guests who enter the door will give their gifts to the waiters.
Lucien and Lillian, who followed Renault and his party into the banquet hall, were not very noticeable, and they just glanced at them and took them as Renault's escorts.
Participating in the banquet is still wearing a robe and carrying a long sword, what is it that is not a guard?
"You two, have you come to the banquet without even bringing gifts?" Link said suddenly.
He spoke a little loudly, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.
"Hey, Link, how can you embarrass the guests? I wonder if these two are here to cheat and cheat?" said Renault with a smile.
Lucien smiled again and said, "Renault, are you looking for trouble?"
"Renault, be careful with your words and actions, I remind you as a friend. Miss Lucia said.
"Miss Lucia's face should be given naturally, you can eat and drink as you like! If you see that you like, don't secretly hide it in your clothes and take it away. ”
"Haha!" Lucien sneered a third time.
......
"This pastry tastes good, Lillian. ”
Lillian pushed away the pastry sent by Lucien and whispered, "This canary family doesn't have a big background. ”
"There are a few knight-level guests, and there is a strong man who seems to be at the peak of knights, which is a bit troublesome!"
"What are you afraid of, they still dare to do it to us?"
"Who knows if this kind of family will raise dead soldiers, work hard for you, take the academy's order to transfer a few teams of federal cavalry outside the city. ”
"Have you decided you want to kill the entire Canary Family?"
Lucien frowned slightly, a little disliked the murderous intent in Lilian's heart, and said: "Everything is reasonable, just punish a little, and make some extra money." ”
The last sentence exposes Lucian's original intention, although he Lucian does not have much need for paper money, but his parents and young brother need some money to maintain the life of a superior person.
"Lucian, I didn't expect you to be so kind? These are just mortals like ants, and the only value of their existence is to provide us with new blood and materials, which offends the dignity of wizards, even if they are wiped out?"
"Lillian, you have the principle of doing things, I have the principle of doing things, which is good. But I wonder if the extermination will delay our research mission?"
Lilian thought for a moment and said, "You're right, I'm thinking a little inappropriate. Then I'll go first!"
"Remember, listen to my signal and rush in when the time comes!" Lucien rejected, a little uneasy.
"Got it. ”
Lucien looked at Lilian's distant back, and his inner wariness of this woman had risen to its peak, and he wanted to kill other people's whole families at every turn.
It's a female devil in the world!
Could it be that the thinking of a wizard born in a wizarding family and an apprentice of a wizard born in a mortal world is much different?
......
The banquet gave Lucien a glimpse of the luxury of the world's wealthy, with dancing dancers, all kinds of famous wines, and exquisite and gorgeous snacks.
When I thought that I had been gnawing on artificial food for so many years, and I was so diligent after becoming a wizard, I didn't dare to relax for a day, and these guys were indeed drunk and dreamy.
This left Lucien a little speechless.
Levi's Great Wall, the Titan Firmament, the Wizard and the Knight, are they protecting these moths?
It's no wonder that after entering the outer courtyard, the new students can't go out for more than 24 hours unless they are on a mission, and at the same time, they can't go home until they become a third-class wizard apprentice or graduate.
Lucien sat in the corner, watching coldly, thinking about how much money he would have to extort to make up for his mental damage, and he kept eating snacks in his mouth, he liked to pile up a piece of pastry in his mouth, and then bite down.
The knight-level combat power provides him with a strong chewing power for eating, and also makes his eating appearance quite eye-catching in the crowd. To be precise, everyone stayed away from this weird-looking guy.
Lucia kept socializing with people at the banquet, and finally found time to come to Lucian's side, and said apologetically: "I met a few acquaintances just now, and I made you wait for a long time." ”
"It doesn't matter. By the way, what's the theme of today's banquet?"
Lucia pointed to a bright girl in the distance and said, "Don't you see that beautiful young lady, her name is Princess Arlo, she is the princess of the Principality of the Swamp outside the Guanwai, this is a welcome party held by the Canary Chamber of Commerce to welcome this princess, I heard that the two families may still marry." ”
Among the three regions of the northern region, there are many people in the Guannai and few places, so most of them are independent city-states, while there are few people outside the Guan, and the feudal rule such as the principality is the mainstay.
"The combination of sword and money is a good deal. By the way, I still carry the hairpin you gave me last time, hoping to bring me good luck. ”
"That's great, by the way, don't you really know a thing or two about poetry?" asked Lucia the question that had been hidden in her mind for a long time.
"It's all made up, how can I know any poetry. "Lucien didn't make it up this time.
"You're a ......"
"It's difficult to say what you want, do what you want, do what you want to do, and sometimes it's better to say something small talk than to do it all for social etiquette. ”
Lucia poured Lucien a glass of wine thoughtfully, and the two began to talk about what freedom was.
Lucien and Lucia talked, and slowly, the moon was on the top, and the night was a little deeper.
Why hasn't this Lilian come back yet, is she lost?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the banquet hall cubicle was suddenly slammed open, and more than a dozen ironclad guards came in murderously.
If Lucien guessed correctly, there should have been several rooms in that compartment, dedicated to the rest of the guests.
The leader of a big man, covered in iron armor and as strong as a bear, looked fierce and brutal, with the breath of a savage, he pulled out his two-handed sword at his waist, jumped onto the main stage, kicked off the instrument in the musician's hand, and roared, "Give me all fucking silence." ”
"What's going on, Otis?" asked Renault on stage, a little confused.
"Hmph, Princess Arlo just met an assassin. ”
Renault frowned slightly, and said, "How is the princess now, I'll go to the doctor immediately." ”
"No, we have a doctor on board. However, I suspect that the Assassins are still among the guests of today's banquet, and they have gathered me around. With a wave of his hand, the ironclad guard drew his long sword and quickly blocked the entrance.
"What are you going to do, barbarian, this is Yilei, the center of civilization, do you think it's your country?"
"That is, even if there are assassins, we have a detective station, when will it be your turn to enforce the law here?"
......
Renault raised his hands high, kept waving, signaling everyone not to get excited, he would settle this matter, seeing that the chaotic situation had calmed down, he nodded slightly, walked onto the main stage, and said, "Otis, if you have something to say, I am friends with your duke." At the moment, I think it is imperative to heal Princess Aurorium's injuries first. ”
"I'll treat your mother! Don't fucking give me a crepe! The guests here today are all invited by you Renault, and you don't know who is suspicious or not. ”
Before Renault could speak, a person suddenly jumped up in the crowd and shouted, "I know, I know who is suspicious." ”
The crowd dispersed like a tidal wave around the shouting man.
"Link, don't talk nonsense!" As soon as Renault heard it, he knew who Link was going to say, Reynolds were arrogant, but they were not stupid, Lucien was brought into the banquet hall by him, if Lucian was recognized, wouldn't it indirectly identify the assassin as he was instructed by Renault.
The big man Otis in the lead rushed forward, lifted Link like a chicken, and sneered, "Say." ”
"Yes......"
Otis slammed his sword around Link's neck, "Say hurry." ”
Link cried and said, "Don't, I'll say it quickly, it's Lucian, I saw Lucian say a few words to his female companion with my own eyes, and the female companion disappeared, and his whereabouts were very suspicious." Moreover, his origin is unknown, and he is armed with him, so if you want to check, you must first check Lucian. ”
Otis threw Link to the ground and yelled, "Who's Lucien, stand up." ”
"It's me. Lucien raised his hand like a schoolboy, but his eyes drifted out the window.
It's good that I came back in time, otherwise I would have to make trouble tonight.
