The wide and clear roads, the ornate manors, and the cavalry patrolling by from time to time. This is the eastern part of Laiyan City, and it is also where most of the noble mansions are gathered.

A little deeper into the city, a majestic building suddenly appeared in the midst of a large manor. Under the cover of night, it is like a creeping prehistoric beast, proud of all directions. The thick black stone walls, the magnificent dark gold gate, and the iron anchor-shaped sign hanging above the gate, this is the Alston family castle.

Looking at the towering door wall, Tang En let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but rub his hands. It's really magnificent...... Well, the defense liliang is also tight.

The latter's evaluation was made of the cold giant bow and crossbow on the wall and the unknown metal iron pipe, but fortunately, he didn't need to go over the wall to infiltrate this time, and Don took out a gilt invitation and handed it to a butler waiting in front of the car door.

The butler took the invitation and opened it, and then bowed slightly: "Your Excellency Ambrose Pete, welcome." Please!"

Donn nodded, and the carriage drove through the gate into the castle.

Ooh...... Don raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly brightened. Squares, fountains, statues...... Everything seems just right and beautiful.

The carriage stopped on one side of the square, and Donn strode toward the main hall.

Hey, why is the person in front of you a little familiar?

"Josia?"

The woman in the mopping pleated dress in front of her looked back in amazement, with blond brown hair and a heroic and feminine face, it was Josia that Don hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hi, Becky!"

At this moment, a woman in a long fiery red dress trotted out behind Don and hugged Josia.

The corners of Tang En's mouth twitched, and this eighth woman also came......

"It's really you! I didn't know for sure, I haven't seen you in a long time. Betsy grabbed Josia's arm and said cheerfully.

"Well, yes, something has happened lately, so ......"

"Is it because of Vincent...... Uh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Betsy stuck out her tongue.

"Vincent?" Josia shook her head unconsciously, "Vinson is quite sad...... Forget it, let's talk about it tonight. ”

"Yes, yes. You don't know how bored I've been lately, and I don't have anyone to play with...... Wow, the skirt is so beautiful, it's very fluffy, your figure is so good, I don't dare to wear it......"

"It's supported by a silver ring, it's heavy......"

Betsy took Josia's hand, and the two of them met and muttered as they walked inside, laughing from time to time.

Vincent Donn smacked his lips and entered the hall as well.

The melodious sound of the violin, the crisp clinking of glasses, the slightly noisy conversation...... As soon as Tang En entered the hall, he felt a warmth on his body, and all kinds of voices came to his face.

Such gatherings were common among the aristocracy, and the difference was only a matter of size. Similar to the last time Donn attended Vincenne Manor, it was a small theme music party. Of course, tonight's party is undoubtedly a large-scale banquet, and this kind of gathering will test the comprehensive ability of the organizers. So to some extent, this is also a kind of showing off strength.

Don grabbed a glass of wine and slowly walked through the crowd, browsing the hall without a trace.

From time to time, I seem to be attracted by a certain conversation, and I approach to listen.

From time to time, it seems that some acquaintance of Yujian raises his glass from afar...... In this case, no one will refuse, and the person who is shown will often smile back and raise a glass to drink. Then when Donn walked by, he searched wildly, who was that person just now, and at which party had he met?

The older people talk about current affairs, and the young people talk about the wind and moon. Businessmen talk about trading and cooperation, and women talk about gossip and anecdotes...... That's pretty much it...,

Don also saw Josia and Becky, and at this time Josia gathered around him many aristocratic youths, who were either elegant or calm, affectionate or intrigible...... It's like a peacock with the screen open, competing to show its beautiful feathers.

Of course, it is not surprising that there is such a phenomenon, and it is said that a woman's wisdom is inversely proportional to her appearance, but this sentence is obviously not suitable for Josia. Honest and youthful, with a clear appearance, but also a noble and mysterious magician, Josia has the capital to make people so obsessed and crazy.

When Vincent pursued Josia fiercely, the men felt that they had little hope. But now that Vincent has been assassinated, Josia has become an ownerless flower, and naturally everyone wants to be the flower protector.

Compared to Josia, who was surrounded by the crowd, Betsy was much more depressed. Her friend was surrounded by people and couldn't get out, and because of some family reasons, no one wanted to approach her now. At this time, I had to drink alcohol alone with my cheeks puffed out......

In a short time, Don had already walked around the hall, and the various entrances and exits were clearly memorized. At the same time, he also found that there was one thing that everyone talked about the most tonight......

"Good evening, Your Excellency Paul. ”

"Good evening, Lord Locke. ”

"Hey, why haven't you seen Victor lately?"

"You don't know, there's something going on in his family......

"Uh, you don't mean you're being targeted by the Noble Alliance, are you?"

"To be precise, it was targeted by the noble alliance led by the Count Robert family. His family's long-standing business is about to be destroyed......"

"Alas, poor Victor...... Isn't there a way to stop this alliance?"

"It's difficult, if it's just those five viscounts, the problem will be solved. But now it's the Robert family that takes the lead, tsk, and the strength is terrifying......"

"Then let them grow like this?"

"Not really, what do you think tonight's party is for? I've heard that several Viscount Patriarchs have approached Earl Auston and want him to lead an alliance against the noble alliance. ”

"Whew...... That's good, with the Auston family coming forward, it must be able to suppress the aristocratic alliance. ”

"Who knows, this noble alliance has not moved recently...... I'm not sure, I always feel like they're going to do something. ”

"Locke, you're thinking too much, maybe they've died down when they hear the news that the Auston family is coming forward?"

"Well, I hope so......"

Similar conversations continued to spread throughout the hall, and it was clear that everyone was very jealous of the noble alliance. Of course, this had nothing to do with Donn, he just listened to it casually, and it wasn't long before he found an acquaintance while wandering around.

On the right side of the hall, there is a long table of nanmu with a variety of delicacies and exotic fruits piled up on it, allowing guests to take them at will.

At this time, a well-dressed young man with an elegant temperament was standing at the table, and he was seen tapping his hands on the table at will, as if he was thinking about which food to choose.

In a moment, he snapped his fingers, leaned down, and reached out his right hand to take a fruit platter.

Suddenly, he felt that his left hand was grabbed vigorously, and a deep voice sounded in his ears: "Thief." ”

The young man's body trembled slightly, his left hand slid away, and a blade flashed on his cuffs.

The man who grabbed his left hand seemed to know what he was going to do, and he pressed down and forced his cuff blade back again, and then the young man only felt a pain in his left wrist, and couldn't help but open his palm, and then the person standing behind him retreated.

As soon as the young man Huo Ran turned around, he saw a middle-aged man with a very gloomy appearance looking at the silver spoon in his hand with great interest, and his face was very piercing.

"Tsk, don't let go of a spoon, Jack, you really have the demeanor of a thief. ”...,

"That's sterling silver, okay...... Hey, you're ...... Arthur?" said Jack, hesitantly.

"Nonsense, who am I not?" Don rolled his eyes.

Jack's eyes kept sweeping over his face, "What's the way we're divided?"

"Five-five!" Donn replied in a categorical manner.

"Fuck off...... Oh God, it's you! How did you do it? ”

"Secret...... Don't touch, don't knock my nose off. Donn slapped Jack's claws away to touch his nose.

"It's incredible! This disguise is amazing!" Jack marveled at the disguise on Donn's face, which he had also covered with a layer of paint on his face, and had changed his hairstyle and everything. However, in the eyes of professionals, flaws can still be seen, such as Tang En recognized him just now.

"Okay, seriously, when will you do it?"

Jack obviously had a plan, and said without hesitation: "When Earl Auston comes out! If you don't go to the storeroom again. ”

"Okay, then I'll go and observe the terrain. ”

"Wait!"

"Huh?"

"Give me back the spoon first!"

“......”
