After coming out of the refugee area, Ryan went straight back to the inn, he didn't go to the bazaar to see how Fitlore was selling, it didn't make sense, since he had decided, he had to give enough trust.

Tomorrow night was the time for the banquet, and according to the rules, he should visit Chels in advance, so there would be no time to hang out.

Early the next morning, Ryan's convoy headed for the castle of Chels.

He was not hindered by the invitation, and the butler, who had been waiting to greet them, invited them in very politely but politely.

The entourage, guards, carriages and horses were all properly arranged, and a noble room was also arranged for Ryan, equipped with servants and stewards, and a set of processes was leaky, which can only be said to be a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years.

"Dear Baron Lane, you have been tired all the way, please take a break, the banquet will be held in the evening, please feel free to command if you need anything, please forgive me if there is any neglect."

The old butler seems to be a very kind person, and when he speaks, he smiles, and it is easy to make people feel good.

"Thank you for everything you arranged for me, I am very satisfied." Ryan responded with a smile, to be honest, this place is much better than the room he lives in, and the service is also very thorough, what else can I not be satisfied with.

Soon after the old butler left, there was another knock on Ryan's door, but this time it was an acquaintance, the chief knight of Chels's side, Lacey.

He was close to Chels, and naturally formed some friendships with Lacey, and the two had not seen each other for a few months, and Ryan was very happy at the moment.

"Oh~ Sir Lacey, how are you doing after not seeing you for a few months?"

Reis still looked like he was not smiling, and said expressionlessly when he heard this: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Ray, you seem to have made another breakthrough? ”

He was originally such a person, so Ryan didn't think he was rude, and said modestly: "I was lucky to have a breakthrough, but it's still a big step worse than you." ”

This can't be completely polite, Lacey can be the chief knight of Chels naturally has hard power, although it is only the rank of a senior knight, but the strength is the top one, and the senior knight who died in the battle of Chelt is not the same.

If he didn't use the source liquid, Ryan would still have a certain gap with him.

"It's remarkable that you can break through the high-level knight so quickly, I'm still far from your age." Lacey shook his head, admiring Ryan a little more.

"Is the viscount busy right now? I'm here for something else. ”

"I'm here to tell you about this, the Viscount has been a little busy in the last two days, and he can't take a break for the time being. He already knew the news when you first entered the city yesterday, and he asked me to ask you why you didn't come to the castle and stayed outside in an inn. ”

Lacey's words made Ryan suddenly realize in his heart that the Malton family has been operating in Hooley City for so many years, and there is nothing to hide from Chels, who is the head of the family, is far from being comparable to Ryan, and Dorman City is leaking around like a sieve.

Chels obviously didn't mean to hide it from him, and asked Lacey to tell him so that there wouldn't be any misunderstanding between the two.

Maybe the other party now knows that Ryan brought green candy to sell, but it doesn't necessarily.

"I just want to walk around the city first, and then sell some local products, so there's no special reason.

When did you come back, is there any news of my mentor? "Ryan's main focus is on being sincere, direct and honest.

Lacey sat down on the side, counted the time, and said, "The Viscount returned to the south a month ago, and Sir Eisen evacuated with us, but he did not return to his manor, but stayed at the Stormwind Fortress, saying that he wanted to meet an old rival. ”

Ryan's eyes flashed, he naturally knew who the old opponent Eisen was talking about, the mysterious person who attacked them that night, and the culprit who killed his father!

Thinking of this, Ryan was a little anxious, although Aisen's archery skills were superb, but after all, he was only at the rank of a high-level knight, according to him, that person had already broken through the rank of a great knight, and the other party was also a marksman, and Aisen's chances of winning were not great.

As if seeing through his inner thoughts, Reis rarely comforted: "Sir Eisen has rich experience and a fortress to rely on, so he is basically invincible, don't worry too much." ”

"Hopefully ......"

The two chatted all over the world, and before they knew it, they forgot the time, and when Ryan looked out the window in surprise, he realized that it was already afternoon.

Just as he was about to open his mouth for the steward to bring some snacks, the door was pushed open, and a somewhat majestic figure walked in.

Those who dare to do this here can think of who it is with their toes.

"Hahaha, Ray, long time no see, you are really good at creating surprises, I didn't expect you to break through to a high-level knight at such a young age."

Chels stepped forward and patted Ryan on the shoulder, his tone revealing satisfaction.

After a few words of greeting, Ryan smiled and said: "This matter is really too much of a coincidence, at the beginning, His Excellency the Viscount said that it was best to divide the territory to the southern realm, and there was a response between each other, but I didn't expect it to be a prophecy, we are so close." ”

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you would choose Kana Ling, so it's okay, you are my lucky star, and we can take care of each other in the future and communicate with each other."

Chels's admiration for Ryan is beyond words, and according to common sense, Ryan is naturally not qualified to talk to Chelse about taking care of each other, because this is already an alliance.

Ryan's current power is not at all the same as Chels'.

But Chels believes that Ryan will have a blockbuster day after all, and his vision is still very good, and investing in advance will only benefit him.

He is far more invested in Ryan, but he is the one who invests the most.

"Your Excellency, this time I came, in addition to the banquet, there is one more thing that needs to be discussed with you."

"Don't be too polite, you can just say anything directly, as long as I can do it." Chels said very dryly.

"This matter is not too difficult for you, I want to buy a batch of grain from you, but the quantity may be a little large."

"Grain? Horay City has taken in a lot of refugees this time, and the cost of food is not small, so I can sell you a million pounds of grain for three coppers a pound, but you need to transport it back yourself. ”

Chels groaned slightly, and finally gave a very large amount, and the price was very low, so to speak, lower than the market price.

These were all favors that Chels sold him, and Lane naturally remembered it.

After a little calculation, it would cost more than three hundred Kindler to buy food and transport it back to Kanna, which made Ryan a little painful, and it was a lot of money.

"Fitrol, you need to be a little stronger." Ryan secretly thought in his heart, and now he hoped that the other party could sell the green candy at a good price, so that he could return the blood.

"Lei, maybe you also know some rumors, it was supposed to be announced in the evening, so I just explain it to you in advance now."

After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chels's face suddenly became serious, and he couldn't help but make Ryan feel a lot of speculation in his heart.

"Just over a month ago, just after repelling an attack by the Orcs on the front line of the southern fortress, a rebellion suddenly broke out in parts of the Gothic provinces.

The momentum is so great that several counties have been engulfed in the flames of war, and the county of Marton next to us has also been affected.

In view of this situation, Grand Duke Douglas, the guardian of the South, has mobilized the nobles of Jiangnan Province and Norman Province to go south to quell the rebellion.

Although the conscription order has not yet reached our province of Grimm, as far as I know, the situation is not optimistic, and if the situation continues to deteriorate, it is uncertain when we will have to go to the Gothic province to fight. ”

Hearing this, Ryan suddenly felt a pain in his brain, and said as if comforting himself: "The Grand Duke has mobilized the nobles of the two provinces to participate in the war, and some civilian rebellions can set off any storms, or it won't be long before they are quelled." ”

Chels sighed and said: "If only it was really just a civilian rebellion, according to the information I received, some noble lords were also involved in this rebellion, and it is suspected that the cult apostles were handiwork."

The rebellious nobility was the main reason why the rebellious army was able to sweep through the Gothic provinces so quickly, and since the outbreak of the battle, one count and several viscounts have been killed in battle.

Ray, get ready when you go back, it will be a year or two or three years, and the war will spread to us. ”

Now Ryan was silent, cultists, Ryan was not surprised at all when he heard that these people were involved, according to what Canon said before, they tried to control the noble lords, but they didn't expect their methods to be so amazing, and they disrupted half of the southern realm with one move.

As the group talked about it at dusk, Ryan asked Chels for advice on many ways to govern the territory, giving him a more comprehensive understanding of future planning.

When it was almost nightfall, Chels and the two left, there were many nobles who came this time, and the banquet was about to begin, and Chels, as the host, naturally had to show up, otherwise it would be extremely rude.

As the feast was about to begin, the old butler knocked on Ryan's door and led him to the banquet hall.

Ryan is wearing a light blue tuxedo today, and the decoration on his body is somewhat simple, far less dazzling and sassy than the one he wore when he attended a banquet in the army, which is relatively ordinary.

The banquet hall can be said to be very lively at the moment, the strength and financial resources of the Malton family are beyond doubt, and the entire banquet hall is magnificently arranged, and it is full of money.

Several long tables were covered with snow-white tablecloths, filled with all kinds of rare delicacies and wines, and many nobles and their families in ceremonial dresses had already arrived in advance, divided into several circles, holding wine glasses and talking to each other.

Ryan's arrival naturally attracted everyone's attention, and his handsome appearance attracted the attention of many aristocratic ladies, and even some noble ladies were secretly sending him autumn waves, giving him goosebumps.

"Oh~ I think you must be Baron Lane, you are as young and handsome as rumored, my name is David Bella, I am the lord of the Maple Leaf Lord, and I once served in the Expeditionary Legion."

A noble man about thirty years old stepped forward with a wine glass and said to Ryan.

He had a standard smile on his face, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, the other party took the initiative to release the goodwill Ryan naturally wanted to catch it.

"It turned out to be Baron David Bella, my name is Lane, it's nice to meet you, I didn't expect that we used to serve in the same army, it's really surprising."

Picked up a glass of wine from the tray of the maid passing by, the silver wine glasses collided, and the two drank a glass together, which was considered to be acquaintance.

After learning of Ryan's identity, most of the nobles released kindness to Ryan, even if a few turned a blind eye, but did not do anything that violated the etiquette of the nobility.

It's just that there is still a gaze with some unclear meaning, and a variety of emotions are mixed in it, which is very complicated.

Chels's banquets have always been characterized by simple and casual processes.

As the musician slowly played the music, Chels appeared in a luxurious dress, and an exclamation sounded, and Ryan looked over curiously, and his eyes widened.

I saw a tall figure standing beside the tall and majestic Chels, dressed in a white evening gown, an edelweiss shawl, and white arms with gold-patterned gloves.

Her appearance seemed to make the entire banquet hall lose its color, and the center of gravity between heaven and earth seemed to focus on her.

The beautiful Ryan has seen a lot, and in terms of appearance, Xiyue is on par with her, and it doesn't make him lose his temper, what surprises him is that this person is actually Miss Aisha, who he has a friendship with in the Kingdom Library.

She gently took Chels's arm, smiled smartly, and walked to the center of the banquet hall in plain sight, and everyone around her unconsciously avoided it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to be here on the eve of the Chinese New Year's Day, the new year is coming, and the southern border needs our common protection.

This is my youngest daughter, Aisha. Marton, who has just returned from the Kingdom Academy of Magic, is the pride of my Malton family. ”

Chels introduced everyone with a smile, his eyes full of pampering.

"It turned out to be Miss Aisha, I saw her once twelve years ago, but I didn't expect it to change so much now." Beside Ryan, David Bella took a sip of the drink.

"Oh my God, she's as bright as a pearl." A noble young master looked at it stupidly and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hahaha, don't be informal, I would like to give you a drink." Chels was so pleased with the reaction of the crowd that he couldn't help but feel good and raised his glass high.

After everyone drank a glass together, the banquet was considered to be in the main topic, and any nobleman who paid attention to etiquette would not sit and eat at the banquet, and the theme of this banquet was to meet beautiful and moving girls and expand the circle of contacts.

Ryan weaves through the crowd with a glass in his hand, and it's a good time for him to blend in with the aristocratic circle of Lintonshire County. And thanks to the fame he made during his expeditions, most of the nobles were more than happy to befriend him.

It was very harmonious for a while......
