Chapter 968: The "Honored Guest" Who Went to the Banquet Unexpectedly
In order to avoid giving the impression of favoritism, at the repeated urging of his mother Yinnasi, Sarian sent a banquet invitation to Gianna, who was far away in Dalaran.
Gianna had already preserved the spatial coordinates of the Duke's Mansion of the Deep Shadow, and as long as she needed to, she could teleport from Dalaran at any time.
To Salren's helplessness, Gianna happened to come just in time for Wen Lesa to return to report on the taming of the soul beast.
Even in the whole of Quel'Thalas, the reputation of the Windranger family, which has lasted for thousands of years, is very strong.
While studying abroad in Quel'Thalas, Gianna was also in contact with the contemporary core members of the Windranger family, such as Sylvanas, Winlessa, and Lyras.
But that's all, due to the different circles in which they are active, mages and rangers usually can't pee in the same pot.
Gianna and Winlessa could only be regarded as nodding acquaintances before, barely acquaintances, and they knew very little about each other, mostly through the relays of Valera and Sarjan and others.
Recently, Gianna has been attacking the archmage realm without distraction, and finally got a respite, and she is full of anticipation to get close to her brother Sarren.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she came back, she saw this scene, and Gianna's mood was really unhappy.
However, Gianna was not the kind of person who was easily jealous of Valeera, and as the best young mage in Azeroth today, she quickly suppressed her emotions and politely greeted Winlessa with a ladylike greeting.
Faced with Gianna's initiative to salute with her skirt, Wen Leisa's eyebrows raised slightly, and she glanced at Sarren, who had an embarrassed expression, rather playfully.
'As a mage, he didn't use the arcanist etiquette, but deliberately showed himself as a noble lady? Interesting. ’
Fortunately, Wen Lesa is not the kind of chaotic fungiard who looks for fun and doesn't look at the occasion.
She didn't deliberately tease Gianna's mentality with words, and politely replied with a lady's salute and took the initiative to explain the current situation to her.
Gianna was relieved to learn that Wen Lesa was just a good friend of Sarren's, and that the two were discussing how to improve their combat abilities.
Like Valeera, Gianna can not care about the unbelievable Onexia and Stella Gossa, but she doesn't want more competitors around Saljan.
There is no doubt that Wen Leisa, who comes from a famous family, is definitely qualified to join this increasingly fierce competition, but she herself does not mean that.
Wen Lesa briefly explained to Gianna, and then smiled and waved goodbye to the two.
"Saljan, don't go back too late, you know Valeera's vigilance beyond the ordinary, don't cause a fire in the backyard."
Sarian rolled his eyes angrily: "Take care of yourself first, you are not too young, do you want me to introduce you to some young talents?" ”
Wen Lesa pursed her lips and complained, "Aurelia and Sylvanas are still single, what am I anxious about?" I don't need you to worry about it, I'm still young. ”
"Okay, I won't mess with you, I'll see you at the banquet tomorrow."
From the mode of conversation between the two, Gianna is more sure that there is no love between men and women, and it is more similar to a bad friend who has a good relationship.
Shaking her head at the back of Wen Leisa, who was still waving, Sarjan turned her attention back to Gianna, feeling her breath of life slightly.
'Haven't you broken through yet?' ’
"I haven't seen you in a while, Gianna, how is your cultivation going?"
Thanks to Wen Lessa's assist, it was finally possible to be alone with Sarren, Gianna was in a good mood at this time, walked to Sarren's side with her hands behind her back, and deliberately put on a somewhat distressed look.
"It's not that easy, I can't get an inch before the last bottleneck, and several times I feel like I'm on the right side, but in the end it turns out to be wrong."
The breakthrough conditions of each class are different, and Sarian only knows about Druyin and warriors, and it is not good to guide Gianna in the arcane arts.
However, as the so-called one law passes, all laws pass.
As a person who has already stepped into the realm of legends, some of the perceptions about breakthroughs are still common, but each profession is different in terms of details.
The work inside and outside the realm was entrusted to Valera, Stella Gossa and others, and Saljan happened to have nothing to do, so he simply relaxed and accompanied Gianna to stroll through the gardens of the Lord's Palace, passing on his breakthrough experience to her.
Due to Sarren's orders, Valera has been monitoring the latest movements of Lordaeron in real time recently.
When Valeera, who was busy with the wheel, realized that Sarren and Winlessa had been chatting too long in the garden, and hurried over to check on the situation, she happened to see the two sitting in the gazebo, and Gianna leaned lightly on Sarren's shoulder as if she were asleep.
If the blood pressure could be measured on the spot, Valeera's value would definitely rise visibly with the naked eye.
[Over, Valeera is still here.] 】
[I have a question, did Gianna really fall asleep or did she find a chance to perform on purpose?] 】
[God knows, women are born actors, at least I can't see it. 】
[Poor Sarjan woke up the "sleeping" Gianna out of a bad gentlemanly demeanor, I'm afraid the current situation is a little bad. 】
[Be confident, remove the word I'm afraid.] 】
Even without the barrage's reminder, Sarian had already sensed Valeera's familiar breath of life approaching rapidly.
Just as he raised his unoccupied other hand and tried to greet Valeera, an exploding Valeera suddenly disappeared from the spot and teleported in front of Gianna using the Shadow Step outside of the battle.
"Wow ~ Pain Pain Pain!"
Pinched by Valeera's ruthless iron hand, Gianna finally couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, and hurriedly opened her eyes and folded her hands to beg Valera for mercy.
"Sister Valeera, my nose is about to be crooked by you, let it go."
"Humph!"
Valeera snorted angrily and let go of her hand, glaring at the innocent Salajan before forcibly pulling Gianna up from Sarean's side.
"You can, I've been busy for a while, and you're really good at beating snakes with sticks."
Gianna, who knew that she was at a loss, touched her nose and pretended to be stupid and cute: "Eh, hey~"
"Ahem~" Sarian interrupted the interaction between the two with a light cough: "It's just a coincidence, when Gianna came, Wen Lesa and I were discussing the matter of soul beasts. ”
"Recently, Gianna has been worrying about breaking through the bottleneck, and I taught her some shared experiences, maybe the practice was too draining, and she fell asleep listening to it."
"Heh~"
Valera glanced at Sarren angrily, "That's why you're the only one who can trust her so easily...... Forget it, let's go back and talk about it first, but let Stella Gosa, who is also a mage, guide you, maybe there are some different ideas from Antonidas. ”
……
Sarjan was not interested in paying attention to the verbal quarrel between women, but Yin Nasi was very happy with Gianna's early arrival, and took the initiative to pull a group of "ducks" to chatter non-stop.
At noon the next day, the Duke's Mansion of Deep Shadow had just opened its doors to welcome guests, and the nobles who had been waiting outside immediately entered the mansion in an orderly manner, and went to the banquet venue under the guidance of the housekeepers and attendants.
There are many kinds of banquets in Quel'Thalas, which have long been played by the nobles.
Some people hold banquets from early in the morning and do not end until after dinner.
There are also people who hold some midnight peach-colored banquets that are not so healthy for minors late at night.
Following the advice of Stella Gossa and Tina Gosssa, Salian chose the most orthodox luncheon + dinner method.
As the host of the banquet, it is natural that there are the most people around Salian in the venue.
Although he was not very accustomed to this kind of aristocratic banquet exchange with the snake before, he had learned the relevant procedures under Julian's strict teaching when he was a child, and recently received some assault training.
On the whole, Sareen behaved very decently, and did not underestimate the nobles who were very strict with the old rules.
It was not surprising to Sarren's expectations, except for openly and secretly testing Duke Deepshadow's opinion on the aristocratic circle in the southern part of the Yongge Forest, the most talked about by these nobles was indeed the hottest battle for the throne of Lordaeron in recent times.
Just as Sarren was analyzing with his understanding who had the better chance of winning to the nobles around him, Tina Gosa, who had been out to greet guests, suddenly walked in briskly and whispered a few words in Sarren's ear.
"Oh?"
Saljan had a look of surprise on his face, but he quickly reined in his expression, smiled at the curious nobles present, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, a distinguished guest has arrived. ”
"His Excellency Darkan Drahir, Prime Minister of the Cabinet, has been invited to the banquet, so please excuse me for the time being."
