On the eve of the canonization ceremony, Lu Xiang received an urgent summons from the same period.

Kane contacted each of them and set a meeting place in an upscale pub on the outskirts of the castle, one of the most popular hangouts of the consortium and one of the most extravagant and erosive places in the 2nd arrondissement, preferring to keep all immoral things outside the castle, in the words of the aristocracy.

This is a bar open to members of the consortium, and only authenticated VIPs can go through strict security and explore the inside of the bar.

The neighborhood of the bar is filled with paparazzi.

One of their main sources of income is to provide news to media companies or use self-media to gain attention, and they can often meet big names near bars that can only be seen on the Internet and TV.

During the rest day, Ivan found out a lot of information about Kane's identity through the intelligence network of MI7, because Lu Xiang specifically mentioned that this young man was eager to show himself in the same period and eager to become the leader of this team.

According to the information, the Kane family can barely have some relationship with the consortium.

If you go back three or four generations and look at the pre-war period, they can be regarded as distant relatives of the Capello family, and Kane's parents and other family members have always preached this to the public, actively participating in various high-society balls, hoping to make them join the consortium and become a member of the consortium through the Capello family.

However, the Capello family seems to be dismissive of their clinging.

By all indications, the Capello family did not even treat them as relatives, and several applications to join the consortium through the "blood theory" were denied.

After the family moved to the 2nd arrondissement, they had never set foot inside the castle.

So, Kane's parents came up with a way to save the country by curve.

Let Kane participate in the consortium's assessment for the entire Second District, and even the entire coalition government, if their sons can be awarded the title of lord for their achievements in the Knights, then there will be no reason for the Capello family to turn them away.

In this regard, Ivan's evaluation is that it is another group of people who are immersed in the dream of the aristocracy.

This kind of person is all too common in the second district.

The various families of the consortium always meet some "poor relatives" who have appeared out of nowhere, some of them are real, but most of them are small groups composed of a group of daydreamers, and the Kane family is also the best among them, at least they have given birth to a son who is good enough to really pass the assessment of the consortium.

Lu Xiang was the second to arrive, and only Kane arrived before her.

Kane looked a little nervous at this point, pacing back and forth in front of the bar, looking anxious.

Information about the bar was also included in the intelligence provided by MI7.

It is said that Kane's parents racked their brains and spent a lot of money to finally become a bar-certified guest.

It's just a pity that what happened to them in the bar was not satisfactory, and they didn't make a few real aristocratic friends.

It was not difficult to tell from the eyes of the security personnel that they knew Kane, but they did not take him seriously.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Xiang glanced at the time.

At 23:17, they should have rested, for they would have entered the castle early tomorrow morning to attend the canonization ceremony.

"It's a good thing, it's a great thing!"

Kane's tone of voice changed significantly from his usual tone, "I really didn't expect you to be the first to arrive here." ”

"I happen to live nearby."

"When everybody is here, I'm going to tell you something big."

Seeing that Kane looked nervous, Lu Xiang did not continue to ask.

Because she also had to play a taciturn beautiful girl in front of people, she just nodded, and retreated to a corner so that she and Kane would not be too conspicuous on the street in front of the bar.

By the time the last one arrived, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Everyone wondered why Kane had summoned them, some of them had been woken up by Kane's hurried phone ringing.

Once again, Kane sold off to everyone.

He walked up the steps under the slightly contemptuous eyes of the security personnel, who wanted to embarrass him by turning away anyone except Kane according to the rules of the bar, but when he reported a name, the security guard's expression immediately changed, and their restrained appearance made Lu Xiang, who was secretly observing, feel extremely funny.

But that's the norm in District 2.

The idea of class is deeply imprinted in everyone's perception, and it is also one of the cities with the most serious discrimination problems.

Although the civilians living in Sector II enjoy good security and abundant material conditions, they do not have any status to speak of.

Everything they received was seen as a handout from the nobility, so they had to be grateful to those who lived in the castle.

Entering the door of the bar, Kane led them upstairs, through deep corridors, before finally coming to a door.

He didn't enter the door immediately, but adjusted in the door for a while.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

When the door of the cubicle was pushed open, Lu Xiang finally understood the reason why Kane was so restrained.

A familiar face appeared in everyone's sight, and she believed that every legal citizen of the Second District would not be unfamiliar with this face.

Colin Capello.

The future heir to the Capello family.

In addition to Colin, there are also some unsightly images in the cubicle, such as two female knights who are tied to the ground in an almost humiliating position, this is not a role-playing game, because Lu Xiang noticed the scarlet lines on the armor of the two, which are the marks of the Scarlet Knights.

As a noble knight, you should never do such a dirty thing.

But the two of them were like tamed pets, and until Colin gave them orders, they kept the status quo, allowing those who entered the door to appreciate their state at the moment.

“…… Kane. ”

Colin Capello and Kane looked at each other for a long time before they finally remembered his name, "A toast, my friend." ”

A glass of champagne was handed to Kane.

"I have something I want to ask you, or more precisely, all of you here."

"Please."

Kane was flattered to accept the glass from Colin, even his parents had never been directly received by the future rulers of the Capello family, let alone known as friends.

The contemporaries who followed Kane had different expressions.

Most of them were looking at Colin with the same eyes as Kane, some were secretly observing the female knights prostrate on the floor of the cubicle, and of course, there were also people like Lu Xiang who staggered their gaze and didn't want to take another look at this scene of moral corruption.

"You know, there has been some unrest in the castle lately, and the various knights are in the process of employing people, I hope you can directly apply to join the Crimson Knights at tomorrow's canonization ceremony, and I, Colin Capello, can promise you that I will never treat you badly in the future."

Hardly without any hesitation, Kane agreed.

In his eyes, this was tantamount to a gift from the nobility, and it was clear that many people in the same period thought so, and they followed Kane's example and immediately shouted the slogan of being willing to follow the Capello family.

Colin Capello's gaze lingered on the silent few people for a moment, and then squeezed out a smile, "In that case, I'm relieved, I still have some things to do here, see you tomorrow." ”

Lu Xiang had never seen such a tough way of asking for help.

drew a big pie, and then immediately issued an eviction order after the other party agreed, which almost wrote the contempt for him on his face - even the company was much more distracted when pouring chicken soup and painting flatbread for employees.

But for Colin's undisguised contempt, the group led by Kane was willing.

Combined with the shameful posture of the two female knights in the compartment, Lu Xiang couldn't help but wonder if there was a lot of trembling among these knights.

This term was told to her by Song Lan, which allowed her to broaden her horizons and once again understand the meaning of the world.

The whole meeting process takes no more than five minutes.

For Colin Capello, meeting them seems like just a small episode, and his real purpose in coming to this bar is not to talk to them.

And as soon as he walked out of the bar, Kane asked the others, including Lu Xiang, in a complaining tone, "When you were in the room just now, why didn't you respond to Master Colin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" ”

“…… However, I've heard that the Scarlet Knights don't have a good reputation. ”

One of them said in a hesitant voice.

His words drew the approval of the rest.

This is still a tact, and in fact it is not an exaggeration to describe them as notorious, the Crimson Knights are more like a group of mercenaries or warmongers than noble knights.

Alcoholism, illegal drugs, and moral decay all have a lot to do with the current lords of the Order.

Legend has it that the Scarlet Lord himself was a drunkard.

Whenever he was drunk, he would have committed some serious offences against chivalry, and if it weren't for his backing to the Capella family, he would have been demoted or simply removed from the knighthood for his misdeeds.

"And I don't want to be like them."

Another female knight said that when she was in the cubicle, she, like Lu Xiang, looked away, not wanting to take a second look at the scene inside.

"What about you, Mo Lian, what do you say?"

Kane suddenly threw the question to Lu Xiang.

"I'm going back."

Lu Xiang refused to answer this kind of extremely boring question, and she even began to regret that she was invited to come here in the evening, "I have already thought about the knights I want to join. ”

"In that case......

Kane's face was a little ugly, and he noticed the look in the cubicle in the eyes of Young Master Colin, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he could see that Young Master seemed to be very dissatisfied with these people who refused the offer.

This is his dereliction of duty.

Because he never expected that someone would refuse an invitation from the future ruler of the Capello family.

"If we can't be assigned to the same order, we're no longer companions."

Kane figured out the purpose of Master Colin's appointment with them.

This is not only to make the Capello family shine at tomorrow's canonization ceremony, but also to hoard power for the future struggle within the consortium.

"Perhaps, one day we will face each other."

"Then I hope we never meet on the battlefield."

Lu Xiang just glanced at Kane faintly, took the lead in breaking away from the team, and walked towards his temporary residence.

Thanks to the 1500 starting coins rewarded by Muryu!

The small theater of its one hundred and four:

Friday, evening, year, month, and day.

Lu Xiang informed Hannah of this extremely important information, and Hannah always trusted Song Lan's judgment, so she customized a set of nano tight-fitting combat suits to her biopharmaceutical company through her family on the same day, and the company's employees worked overtime to send the combat suits to her residence before dark.

All night, Lu Xiang stayed by her phone, because she desperately wanted to know whether the information given by Song Lan was reliable.

But things turned out to be more than she expected.

She had imagined the myriad of answers Hannah might have, but she hadn't received a single reply all night!

She sent three text messages to Hannah asking for help, but the latter seemed to have vanished.

"Lao Lu, what are you sitting there alone at night?"

Song Lan, who had watched a movie, held half a popsicle in her mouth and handed the other half to Lu Xiang.

"On the list."

Lu Xiang absentmindedly nibbled on a mouthful of popsicle, which made her eyes squint.

"The Council has assigned you a new mission?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the Council."

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and her instincts told her that Hannah might never reply to her again tonight.

This made her realize the accuracy of Song Lan's intelligence.

"What are you ......?"

Song Lan's question came to an abrupt end, because he looked at the content of Lu Xiang's mobile phone memo, which really had nothing to do with work:

Nano Tights Combat Suit (White)

Maid outfit (white silk)

Standard knight light armor
