Two days later in the evening.

Chen Lun was in front of a full-length mirror in the corner of the room, looking at what he was wearing.

In the mirror, the handsome young man is wearing a high-end black suede dress, a brand-new flat top hat, a white lining, a red bow tie, black and brown leather gloves, and shiny leather shoes...... Chen Lun pestle the silver cane, straightened his hat, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, I feel like I'm a little too handsome right now...... It's a pity you can't see it, Floyin, or you'll be hooked. ”

He said jokingly.

Floyin was standing quietly behind him, covering her mouth and chuckling.

"I can't see it, but I agree with you."

She blushed and whispered.

Chen Lun turned around and admired Floyin's appearance up and down at the moment.

Because she informed Floyin in advance that she would go with her to the charity dinner tonight, Floyin specially prepared a dress for the past two days.

She wore a long black dress, but she didn't follow the crowd and put the skirt in it, and according to her words, she didn't like the bloated feeling.

The skirt is covered with multiple layers of petal-like folds, at the waist and waistcoat, there are fine and shining purple gemstones, the outermost is also draped in a short black felt cloak that Chen Lun once gave her, a pair of small hands wearing black suede gloves, long golden hair is coiled up for the first time, a small black top hat is worn diagonally, and a purple chrysanthemum is pinned to it, the overall look is extremely beautiful.

And it fits very well with Chen Lun's dress.

"It's almost time, let's go."

Chen Lun secretly admired Floyin's appearance and said softly.

Floyin seemed to feel his appreciative gaze, and was very happy in her heart, so she sighed and took the initiative to step forward and grab Chen Lun's arm.

The two rode in a carriage driven by Golov to an auction venue in the city center.

It was originally the Harrington family's property, and after some decoration, it was used as the venue for today's charity dinner. Countless carriages stopped at the guardrail outside the bronze gate, and a dozen clean and tidy male attendants dressed in uniform red vests were busy arranging and receiving them.

There are a lot of aristocratic and wealthy businessmen from Peacock City tonight, it can be said that the Harrington family and the Simon family have strong appeal, and it can also be said that the preferential policies given by the council are quite attractive.

In short, these big names are very face-saving to be present.

Chen Lun took Floyin and walked in unhurriedly, and as soon as he entered the gate, he saw Mr. Huo Yiner and Miss Tracy, who greeted him in person on the side of the passage. The guests who arrived first were all amazed and even a little flattered by the enthusiasm of the two, after all, these were the most powerful people in charge of the two families in Peacock City.

But all the guests didn't know that the person Huo Yiner and Tracy were really waiting for was only the young gentleman in front of them.

"Welcome, Mr. Jack."

"And this beautiful Miss Floyin."

The two greeted Chen Lun and Floyin warmly, and after shaking hands with each other, Huo Yiner walked in front and led Chen Lun and the others inside.

He also whispered:

"Tonight's charity dinner was very much valued by the above, not only seven or eight councillors came, but even the asylum, the madman school, and the Hailing group all sent people here."

Chen Lun's eyes froze.

The asylum and the Orthodox Church also came...... It seems that the living conditions of the low-level civilians are already so bad that even the official supernatural forces cannot sit still. ’

He and Floyin were ushered into a separate luxury box on the second floor, where they could see the auction stage below through a single-sided floor-to-ceiling window, and the sound could also be heard through a microphone device from the sound system on the ceiling of the box.

At this moment, many dignitaries have already taken their seats, and the young and beautiful waiter walks around the round tables with trays, putting down the food and red wine of the dinner. They can more or less receive "tips" from these big people, saying that they are tips, but they are definitely more than several times, or even more than ten times their weekly salary, which makes the waiters and ladies put more enthusiasm into the work at hand, and even turn a blind eye to the slightly offensive small actions of some distinguished guests.

After Huo Yiner and Tracy delivered Chen Lun and Floyin to the box, they exchanged a few words and left.

At this moment, in the box, only Chen Lun and Floyin were left.

Chen Lun let Floyin sit on the sofa to rest, and he poured her a glass of red wine very gentlemanly.

"Please, beautiful lady."

He shook the goblet lightly, then handed it to Floyin.

The latter took it with a smile and said in a nice voice:

"Thank you, sir."

Chen Lun also poured himself a glass of red wine, although he didn't like to drink, he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere at this time, and gently clinked glasses with Floyin.

Jingling.

The two took a sip and smiled at each other.

Soon, the charity dinner began, and Hoyer and Tracy hired an experienced host to start auctioning off the collections donated by the nobles and wealthy merchants, as well as personal belongings.

This is a charity auction, so the lot is not very valuable, but these nobles and wealthy businessmen will still bid more or less for face, and to some extent, it can be regarded as a good relationship with the people in the circle.

For example, the first lot is an ivory dressing box of a noble lady, and its actual value may be only a few tens of gold pounds, but another wealthy merchant will spend hundreds of gold pounds to auction it, and say that his wife admires this noble lady and appreciates her taste.

In this way, the relationship between the aristocracy and the wealthy merchant was made by this small matter.

Chen Lun didn't spend too much energy on these lots, and he didn't even want to look at them...... He was willing to come this time, firstly, to give face to Huo Yiner and Tracy, and secondly, he planned to donate a little gold pound.

Although he is a traverser and a transcendent being, he still has a trace of sympathy for the miserable civilians of this world, and he will not do some acts of the Holy Mother that harm his own interests, but he is willing to contribute a little bit within the scope of his ability.

This is Chen Lun's bottom line, and it is also the humanity he adheres to.

Then.

Chen Lun hooked his hand slightly, his index finger fell off by itself, turned into a small snake with an earthworm, and crawled out of the box.

Noticing Floyin's slightly puzzled expression, he explained with a smile:

"Next door is a large box where people from the local shelter and the two Orthodox Churches are ......"

Floyin nodded knowingly.

Chen Lun is going to listen to the corner of the wall to see what the official person means.

When the little snake got into the next box through the crack in the door, it hid under the dining car at the door at great speed. Through the five senses, Chen Lun shared the perception of the little snake and saw the scene inside.

In the luxuriously decorated large box, next to the expensive and exquisite coffee table, there were three long sofas, and four people came to the shelter, led by a tall and thin middle-aged man, who was the team leader Amos, and the other three subordinates, respectively, a deputy team leader and two senior investigators.

There were only three people in the madman school, two men and one woman, who looked quite old, with half-white hair, wearing a blue robe, and a thick bookish atmosphere, and they were silent and closed their eyes to recuperate.

There were five members of the Hailing Regiment, dressed in dark green uniform sleeveless uniforms, and they all wore pendants with closed eyes on their chests.

"I'm glad you Hailing Regiment can participate in such an event together, Mobus."

Asylum leader Amos raised his glass.

The middle-aged rough man, known as "Mobus", was the chief priest of the Hailing Regiment, equivalent to the bishops of the rest of the churches, and he smiled heartily and returned a glass of wine.

"It's nothing, after all, it's a newcomer, and you can also get a preliminary understanding of the situation in Peacock City through these daily gatherings."

The two chatted a few more words at a charity dinner, and the three members of the madman school did not say anything throughout the whole process.

At this time, Amos, the leader of the shelter, groaned for a moment and said tentatively:

"Well, it may be a bit abrupt to say that, but may I ask if the Hailing Group can melt the ice in the eastern harbor, so that the port can resume operation and the plight of the entire Peacock City will be solved."

"Hahaha......"

Mobbs laughed, and he drank the wine in one gulp.

"When we took over from the History and Ritual Society, we were assigned to Peacock City, which is also the meaning of the Empire's higher-ups...... Because it's a port city, isn't it? This is what our Hailing Regiment is best at. ”

Amos' eyes lit up when he heard this.

The people in the shelter around him also smiled.

But Mobbs suddenly sighed and said in embarrassment:

"But such a large area of ice is a bit more than I expected...... I need a little time to escalate the matter and get support from the higher-ups. ”

"This ......"

Amos frowned.

If it continues to drag on, the situation in Peacock City will only get worse, and he has every reason to believe that the Hailing Regiment is not incapable of solving the ice problem in the port, but simply unwilling.

Perhaps because the price to be paid was too great, the other party chose to stand by after weighing the pros and cons.

The reason why Amos thinks this way is entirely because most of the Orthodox Churches today have long lost their former creed, and they have become extremely selfish and selfish about the "Seven Covenants".

If this is not the case, why has the turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church not been resolved until now?

It is precisely these righteous churches that only say but do not do, and at the Supreme Council, they are like a river of words, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, and when it is really time to suppress it, they thunder and rain and make all kinds of acts of watching the fire from the other side.

"All of their energy is now being spent on the election of the Orthodox Church......

At this time, the female old man of the madman school on the side spoke.

"The Seven Righteous God Churches, those red apple maniacs were kicked out of their seats, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the vacant position......"

Amoston was enlightened.

The other three members of the shelter also looked at each other.

The five members of the Hailing Regiment did not say anything after hearing this, and Mobus, who was the leader, smiled even more.

But Amos had already believed the doctrine of the madmen's school.

Chen Lun, who was separated by a soundproof wall, suddenly raised his eyebrows and thought of something.

'Election of the Orthodox Church...... Is this also ahead of schedule? ’

He immediately thought of a very important event and fell into deep thought.
