The old steward looked to the other end of the hall.

It was a completely unfamiliar face, dressed in a rather strange black suit, with a blue ribbon tied around his chest and embroidered with twill of unknown significance.

He had been in the service of the Sigros family all his life, and he had received many people, not only in the Empire, but also in the elves and dwarven neighbors, and even from foreign countries on the other side of the Channel.

Those people came from different countries and city-states, had their own traditions and etiquette, and their clothing was varied, but because they had traded with each other thousands of years ago, there were traces of alternative dresses.

Only the person in front of him, the boss can't see through it at all.

He had never heard of the style and materials used in the black, and he could not incorporate them into any known cultural trend.

This costume undoubtedly contradicts the existing aristocratic dress etiquette on the continent of Brattis, but as long as the eyes are not blind, they cannot be classified as barbarians.

In fact, the strange short coat and the naturally drooping trouser legs, as well as the trouser legs that are just exposed outside the boots, are easy to be laughed at when you take any point out, but when they are combined, they produce an unexpected solemnity.

And the sky blue ribbon that was gathered on his chest like a long tongue played a finishing touch, making the eccentric temperament who suddenly intervened in the election of the Arias family to a higher level.

In addition to this, the old steward especially noticed the boots on the man's feet.

Like what he wore on his upper and lower body, the boots were also unusual, not only in terms of materials and styles, but also in terms of overall neatness.

Except for the sporadic mud spots on both sides near the sole, the surface of those boots is as smooth as a mirror and shines in the sun.

On the other hand, everyone in the banquet hall, even the nobles such as the head of the Figuerola family, and Sir Leo, who has royal blood, their boots are all gray, covered with dust, stains, and even dog shit.

No one knows what that means better than the old manager.

One is the leather material chosen by the other party, and the other is to take care of and maintain such a pair of boots, I am afraid that it will take a special servant to complete, the Red Lion Empire at the beginning of the emperor Alessandro set an example and vigorously advocated the virtue of thrift among the nobility.

So even the royal family will not be so extravagant, maybe among those rich Free City gangs on the other side of the strait, there will be rich businessmen who have a lot of money and nowhere to spend to make such a show, but what is the point?

Boots are meant to be worn, and as long as you go out and walk around the city full of sewage and mud puddles, no matter how clean the upper is, it will quickly become dirty.

Although he was puzzled, this did not prevent the old manager from believing that the person in front of him was of extraordinary origin, which was also confirmed by the latter's calloused palms and clean nails without any dirt.

Therefore, the old manager's tone was still very polite, "Who is Your Excellency, and why are you disrupting the election of the Arias family?" ”

"Merlin." Li Yu reported his name, "I am Miss Ilea's advisor. ”

"Advisor?" Ilea's stepmother was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, "Oh, I seem to have heard some rumors in the morning that Ilea's child was in a hurry to go to the hospital and found a human to be a consultant, is that you?" ”

As soon as she said this, a whisper rang out in the hall.

Miss Rabbit's little face also swollen red, and she gestured to Li Yu in a panic, signaling the latter to stop talking.

But Li Yu directly ignored her small actions.

Dias on the side even sneered directly, "Human advisors, they can't even live to be a hundred years old, what valuable advice can they give to the lords they are loyal to?" ”

"The winner of evolution is never the race with the longest-lived individual," Li Yu said lightly, "Otherwise, it will be Wang Ba who rules the world." ”

“…………”

Dias was choked and speechless.

And Sir Leo took the lead in applauding as if the world was not in chaos, "Well said! Then he looked at Li Yu with interest, "Don't you look like an Imperial, who came to Brattis by boat from the other side of the strait through the storm?" ”

"I'm afraid it's a little further away."

"Wow, it sounds like you've been on a long journey, so you've seen and heard a lot of interesting stories along the way, and when we're free, we might be able to find a place in town for a drink."

"Your Excellency......" The old steward had to cough lightly twice, interrupting the idle rambling of a certain member of the royal family.

"Oh, of course, let's take care of the Arias family before we do that."

Seeing that Leo seemed to be interested in the black-clad monster, no one talked about the latter's human identity anymore.

Vanessa and Dias both kept their mouths shut.

The old steward continued, "You said that you have evidence of obvious injustice in this election, and since you are not from Blatis, I think it is necessary for me to remind you that slandering nobles in the Red Lion Empire is a very serious crime, and once it is confirmed, it is necessary to publicly apologize to the slandered person and beg for forgiveness, and be flogged, so ...... Do you still have to stick to your opinion? ”

Li Yu didn't answer this question, but asked rhetorically, "I heard that the nobles on this continent attach great importance to honor, is this true?" ”

"That's right, honor is my life, in fact, if I had to choose between the two, even if I repeated it ten thousand times, I would choose the former over the latter."

Leo, who looked lazy and didn't seem to care about anything, was the first to speak, and answered almost without thinking.

Although the other nobles in the banquet hall did not speak, they all nodded in agreement, deeply agreeing.

"It's interesting, but from what I've seen, it's not."

"What do you mean by that?" Marquis Cullen's expression was serious.

Li Yu stopped talking.

A moment later, Ilea's voice rang out in the banquet hall, "Uncle, is it true that you said that you would support me in tomorrow's election?" ”

When Miss Rabbit heard this, she was as excited as someone poured a basin of ice water, because she didn't open her mouth just now, where did this sound come from? Why is it exactly the same as when you talk to her, this is really evil!

And soon more and more people also found out about this, and they were all shocked without exception.

However, before they could digest the shock brought to them by this magical scene, the heavier one came!

This time it was Antonio's voice, "Of course, even if you don't come to me, I will choose you, my dear niece, everyone knows that I have a close relationship with your father Ruth, and I have been inseparable since I was a child, and he has also relied on me after becoming the lord of the green field, and has entrusted me with the management of the taxes of the domain and the family's finances."

"No one knows what he's thinking better than I do, and when it comes to heirs, he's always been you, not Blanco."

"Really? Uncle Antonio. Ilea seemed a little embarrassed to be said, "But, father, he sent me to the temple of the Goddess of the Silver Moon. ”

"Hahaha, I have a daughter myself, so I can especially understand this kind of thing, and it is easy for a daughter to misunderstand her father. Ruth sent you to the temple of the Goddess of the Silvermoon, not to keep you there as a priest, but to make a good relationship with the Church of the Silvermoon, which will help you in the future when you rule the Greenfields. ”

"I see." It dawned on Ilea.

Antonio was shocked and angry because this was exactly what had happened between him and Ilea last night.

The conversation took place in his room, and it was very private, and he was sure there was no third person in the room at the time except for himself and the stupid niece.

In fact, the reason why he dared to say this was because Elia had no way of proving that these words came from his mouth.

But now he noticed that the gaze of everyone in the hall had begun to change from the eyes they were looking at him.

But the storm has just arrived, and the conversation between the two is even more vigorous.

"Uncle, can you swear in the name of the gods and ancestors?" Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I've been restless for some reason tonight, and I've tried all kinds of methods, but I can't sleep, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you at this time, I don't know if you can help me?

Antonio hesitated for a moment, and finally said angrily, "No problem, I am willing to swear in the name of the gods on the sacred mountain and the ancestors of the Arias family, and I will vote for my dear niece in the election meeting tomorrow, the future head of the Arias family, Ilea, how about it, have your tensions eased a little when I say this?" ”

"I feel so much better, really, really thank you, uncle."

"Hahaha, that's good, go to sleep, tomorrow you will be the next head of the Arias family, this is the big day of your life."

…………

"No, don't listen, don't listen, it's fake! It's a trick! That's right, it must be some kind of evil trick on the other side of the strait, I never said anything like that! This vile gentile somehow faked my voice and that of my niece! Do not trust him!! He wasn't in my room at all last night, and there's no way there is a way to leave a sound in this world!"

Antonio roared, his whole being like an angry bull, roaring one after another. But despite this, many people still heard the fear and panic hidden in his words.

At this time, he was obviously a little inward-looking.

And it was still his own voice that defeated him.

"No, don't listen, don't listen, it's fake! It's a trick! That's right, it must be some kind of evil trick on the other side of the strait, I never said anything like that! This vile Gentile somehow faked my voice! Do not trust him!! He wasn't in my room at all last night, and there's no way there is a way to leave a sound in this world!"

Antonio's hoarse roar echoed through the banquet hall repeatedly, word for word!

In the dark, it was as if there was an invisible ghost, repeating every word of the poor ghost.

Antonio didn't even dare to quibble anymore, the man was already scared stupid, for fear that as soon as he spoke up, he would come and buy one get one free.

"It's a shame that there are such methods in my hometown." Li Yu quietly pulled out his right hand in his pocket.

"What I just released is a conversation between Antonio and Ireya last night, which I have recorded clearly, if you are still willing to follow the glorious tradition of the continent of Bratis and regard the oath as your own life, then Antonio's vote should belong to Iria."
