Chapter 7: The Banquet
Lei Ming looked at the beautiful maid in front of him, and always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember anything. "What's your name and how is the banquet going?"
"Lord Hui, my name is Lisa, and the banquet was arranged according to your previous standards. Lisa lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly.
"Lisa?" Lei Ming finally remembered who the person in front of him was, a few years ago he accidentally broke the old viscount's beloved vase, afraid of being punished, Lisa took the initiative to carry the black cauldron and was heavily punished, and she has been avoiding her since her predecessor. "From now on you are the steward of the Viscount's Mansion. ”
The ex has always felt guilty, and this time it is compensation. With that, he felt the only little gap in his body disappear. Moreover, after inheriting the title, the energy that was barely suppressed in the Book of Destiny was stimulated by this, and the flood that burst the embankment poured into the body.
"You go out first, and call me when the guests come." Lei Ming reluctantly commanded, let go of the suppression, and used the fighting qi in his body with all his strength to swallow the energy. He had already reached the peak of knighthood last time, and now he was shattered with the touch of this energy level eight bottleneck, and he didn't stop until he reached level ten.
This time it only broke through two levels, perhaps because the higher you go, the more energy you need.
Summoned in his heart, a black book appeared in his hand out of thin air, turning the pages, and a large amount of data appeared on it.
Name: Thunder Grant
Profession: The first authority master of the Book of Destiny, a level 10 knight.
Life Race: Human, Other Bloodlines (hidden).
Skills: Permanent surname solidification - Eye of Destiny, Retrospection
Eye of Fate: Fate is uncontrollable, see through the future of you, try to change the fate of others! Seeing through the eyes of fate, one can look at one's future, and currently probe what will happen to others in the next twenty minutes.
Retrospective: The future is constantly changing, the past will not. View the past, which currently only allows you to see what happened to the target person in the last five minutes.
Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, retrospectively it is a branch of the Eye of Destiny, so you don't need to pay too much attention, but how can there be another bloodline in the race?
"The master's level is not enough, and the bloodline is unknown and cannot be opened. ”
The corners of Lei Ming's mouth twitched a few times, God forbid, I hope it's not a dark bloodline. The Church of Light on the mainland belongs to the giant power, and it has a considerable blow to the darkness, and once it is discovered, both young and old will be immediately labeled as a heretic and burned at the stake.
"Lord Lord, Baron Talloran is here, do you need to greet him personally?" said Lisa, knocking lightly on the door.
Lei Ming tidied up his clothes, opened the door and walked out. When he arrived at the hall, it was already full of people, mostly merchants and officials of the realm, and a small number of lords.
"Viscount Thundering, congratulations on your succession. Tarolan congratulated with a smile on his face.
"Welcome, Baron Talloran. Lei Ming hugged him and said apologetically, "Rose became my knight squire, I'm sorry I didn't have time to inform you." ”
"It's fine. Baron Talloran waved his hand, not minding at all. A fourth-level knight apprentice in exchange for the friendship of Viscount Thunder is a big advantage.
Thunder told him to go in first and continue to wait for the next guest. The aristocrats who came later were all nobles with status and status, and they needed to be greeted by him personally, which was the basic etiquette among the nobles.
The last rays of sunset dissipated on the horizon, and all the invited guests finally arrived.
Lei Ming walked into the hall, and immediately burst into warm applause, and everyone warmly welcomed the new owner of Grant Collar. He walked inside. He greeted all the guests with a smile.
Since childhood, he has received an aristocratic etiquette education, and he has long been familiar with the details that need to be paid attention to at banquets and the standards for speaking on such occasions, and it has almost become an instinct.
He walked to the innermost part of the hall and turned around, and the hall became silent, save for the slight beeping of the candles.
Lei Ming stood on the rostrum and began to speak according to the aristocratic pattern. First, he told about the "great achievements" of the old viscount, then praised the old viscount, and mourned his death, and finally vowed to find the murderer at any cost.
After speaking, he picked up a glass of wine, saluted everyone, and then drank it, and the banquet officially began.
He turned back to his bedroom, took off the ornate and uncomfortable Viscount's Mansion under the service of a maid, changed into civilian clothes, and returned to the hall again.
The banquet was held in the form of a buffet, and the guests either stood in groups of three or five in the hall to mingle, or sat alone in the corner and enjoyed a fresh and hearty dinner.
The atmosphere in the hall was already very lively, and his reappearance attracted the attention of many people, especially those noble ladies, noble ladies, and men with unmarried daughters, who were all thinking about how to get close to this rich and powerful single man and achieve the goal in their hearts.
Lei Ming turned a blind eye to the flattering eyes thrown by countless young ladies and ladies, took the wine glass and sat down in the corner, and said with a smile: "Archbishop Custer, why are you sitting here alone and drinking?
"Viscount Thundering, don't you have one, I believe that many beautiful women will be happy to spend a wonderful night with you as long as you are willing. Custer took a sip of the wine and said with a smile.
"Okay! There's no need to go on with boring temptations, I'm a more direct person, and I don't like to beat around corners. I'm going to build a large temple of the goddess of agriculture in Grant City, and I'm going to build temples elsewhere in my realm as well. Lei Ming said.
"Condition. Custer put down his glass, his expression serious. Although Lei Ming had some guesses in his heart when he held the knighthood ceremony in the Temple of the Earth Goddess today, he didn't expect it to be beyond expectations.
"Resist the Holy See of Light, of course, only within my territory. In addition, when I encounter some unreasonable demands from the Temple of Light, I need the Temple to intervene. "The conditions that Lei Ming said are all well thought out.
As a god that has existed since ancient times, the goddess of the earth is not as strong as the god of light, but her strength is not bad. With the blessing of her temple, the Bright Sect at least did not dare to blatantly seek trouble. As long as you spend a few years, I believe that my strength will improve rapidly, and then I don't have to be afraid of the other party.
Custer looked at him deeply and said with a smile, "Deal." ”
The battle for faith was brutal, and it didn't take for them to resist the Temple of Light, but now it's just a little more intense. As for other things, it will depend on the situation when the time comes.
Lei Ming picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, and drank it all.
"Viscount Thundering, I don't feel like you're a nobleman, you speak too directly. Custer paused, then added, "I like it, though, at least the conversation isn't that strenuous." ”
"Really? I think so too. Lei Ming smiled faintly.
