Chapter 231: Déjà vu
(Bow down and thank the book friend "Yueming dote" for the reward, your support is the motivation of the tanuki, thank you again!)
Behind the door is naturally the banquet hall, which is not only one room, separated by a short corridor, and there are three annex halls next to it. The functions also vary, and generally the main hall is for socializing, or announcing important events. Other side halls are for entertainment, deliberations, and so on.
However, although the functions are not the same, there is not much difference in decoration. The same wealth is compelling, and the same taste is gorgeous.
Above the dome, there are a series of dreamy chandeliers, which emit a soft light through the glass lampshade, as if shrouding the entire hall with a layer of light veil. The surrounding walls are a classical yellow color, which looks solemn and elegant. In one corner of the hall, long tables lined with intricately patterned tablecloths are lined with food, entertainment tools, small tree-like silver candlesticks, and more......
There is no need to go into the extravagant decoration here, to put it mildly, no matter what you take out here, even if it is just a humble dish and fork, you can go out and exchange the quality of life of the common people for a week.
The banquet has not officially started yet, and people continue to join in one after another. With a little identity, there is a greeting when you come in. For the time being, there is no such treatment, and when you come in, you will look for someone to talk to and introduce.
In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that it did not start. Every banquet has a theme, but the current banquet is not held privately, for weddings and birthdays or something. In essence, it's just a social platform, so it's a bit loose and casual.
Like some big aristocratic businessmen have come together to discuss the political situation in various places. A few words. Clink glasses once. Maybe a partnership will just work. Other small aristocrats who were eager to develop and the heads of the merchant groups who had worked hard to get in were meeting everywhere looking for business partners. For them, from the moment they entered, the feast had begun.
Of course, politics and business are all men's business, and ladies and girls are rarely interested. They are basically in groups of three or five, covering their mouths and laughing. Chatting about where the clothes and cosmetics are better, where a new store has opened, and going to shop collectively in the future, etc. Naturally, they will also talk about men. There is such a thing as a beautiful woman and a handsome guy, as long as the aesthetics are still there, there will never be a shortage of topics.
Essentially, the life of the aristocracy was empty, especially for women, who had too much interest to fill the void. And when it comes to zuihou, this blank space is often occupied by physiological instinctive desires. So there have been rumors. The aristocratic circle is erosive. Although there is no serious gender discrimination in the other world, men can go to prostitutes without guilt. And they can't. It sounds like it doesn't make sense, but don't ask why, because it could go back and write a book.
Fortunately, there were countless gatherings among the nobles, and it was a time for the noblewomen to enjoy themselves. A noble girl in her prime of life, she looked reservedly at the handsome and handsome object of her choice. The ladies were much more open, unscrupulously making fun of the men's fighting power in bed. If a man or a woman are looking at each other, make an appointment to find a hidden place...... Or it was love at first sight and passionate, and there was garden grass outside the hall. Although there was a slight cold wind, this did not prevent a lingering field battle...... Ahem, in short, it's a loving and elegant thing.
A bustling, respectful and noisy, lively and not noisy, this is the banquet that the aristocratic circle needs to take what they need.
......
With a glass of wine, he walked and stopped, nodded to the people around him familiarly and politely, and sometimes stopped to say a few words. After a while, Don En roughly walked through the entire banquet hall.
Once inside, Don was separated from Fairy and Bosco. Now that the banquet has not yet started, the mysterious seller naturally will not contact them so quickly.
With Donn's abilities, it was easy to blend into the environment. Even now, given time, he can recall the names of a small number of people here. Of course, none of this matters. According to his observations, the guards of this banquet were still doing a good job, although he did not see any guards in front of him, but this was only a façade. That is, because of the invitation to enter, otherwise in the periphery, countless guards can stop uninvited guests. And not far outside the manor, the garrison cavalry dispatched on a large scale is also ready to stand by at any time.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's impregnable. As long as it's defense, there's bound to be a vulnerability. If Don doesn't want to come in with an invitation, he should still be able to do it, but it will take a lot of effort.
Looking around, not far away, Fei Rui stood with several businessman-like people holding wine glasses. Although I only spoke occasionally and listened most of the time, the feeling of fitting in was already very well done, and the atmosphere there was also very good. This is quite a bright performance for a person who is new to this kind of environment.
The talent is so talented, I can't envy it...... Tang En took a sip of the wine in his glass, shook his head and sighed slightly. His first encounter with the environment was at a small gathering in Vincent, Lay Rock City, and his performance was also very good. But at that time, because he was professionally trained, he had already simulated many times in the system space.
As for Bosco on the other side, it goes without saying much, he comes here like a fish swimming into the water, relaxed and natural. Don even saw him and Huays clink glasses and talk a few words. However, Tang En could still see that he was suppressing his performance, changing the chat partner from time to time to prevent him from becoming the focus of the crowd.
After skipping the two men and observing them for a while, Don gave up the idea of finding the seller. He believed that the other party had already learned of their arrival from the housekeeper at the door, and now he did not send anyone to follow and observe, naturally because the time had not yet come.
If you have nothing to do, let's enjoy it first...... Don drank the wine in his hand and placed it on the tray where the waiter was passing by. He took two steps, grabbed a plate from the closet on one side, and walked towards the round table full of delicate fruit food.
Just avoiding a running young nobleman, a waiter walked towards him, passing by, suddenly, Tang En, a spirit, narrow eyes slightly narrowed, moved the porcelain plate to his side, and the figure of the waiter just now appeared again on the smooth mirror-like plate.
It feels ......
Without stopping, Don walked to the round table and picked up a fruit that resembled a tomato, and then naturally turned around and looked up at the back of the waiter.
Professional movements, not too big or small, when turning sideways for people to get wine, the smile on his face is just right...... Regardless, this seems to be a dedicated waiter.
But Don knew that he was not as simple as he seemed, and if he killed too many people, his gestures would naturally carry a breathtaking meaning. However, this is not absolute, sometimes because of professional needs, some people will restrain their killing intent, just like Tang En in a normal state. This kind of convergence is naturally not a trace of it will not be exposed, it depends on whether you have the eyesight and feeling to distinguish. There is a less appropriate analogy for this, that is, those who are familiar with mice must be more powerful mice, well, or cats.
As Boris often said, if there were Assassins around, his nose could be smelled ten feet away. This was a boast, of course, but if he was up close, he did have the ability to distinguish between assassins who were not very good at concealment. So despite repeated assassinations, he is still alive and well.
Tang En is undoubtedly higher than this waiter in terms of strength and concealment, so he has now discovered the identity of the other party, and the waiter is unaware of him. However, Tang En also had some doubts in his heart, because this person didn't give him the feeling of a pure assassin, as if he still had the illusion of a battlefield......
In a moment, Donn left with a full plate of food and walked to the table in the corner.
To be honest, although he did not relax his observation, he had no intention of pressing. He was here to ensure that the negotiations between Bosco and Firui went smoothly, and he was not interested in other matters.
Huh, with the knife and fork in his hand, Tang En watched the waiter's hanging fingers move slightly in the crowd, and seemed to greet a few people covertly, including waiters and guests in gorgeous robes...... This is the rhythm of gang crimes! And these people, well, look a little familiar......
Tang En's brows furrowed, and then he suddenly opened his mouth, their figures were extremely similar to the few black-clothed people he saw in the Dark Dragon Gang!
Because not long after the time passed, Tang En's impression was still very deep, after thinking of this stubble, he compared it in his heart, and then compared it with the banquet he heard at that time, and confirmed that these people should be those people in black.
It's kind of interesting...... After realizing that the other party was not alone, and it was premeditated, Tang En was even more unlikely to make a move, so he bit the silver fork and calculated silently, hoping that the other party would not interfere with their negotiations.
Yo, there's one more ...... Well, that should be the same...... It's all good strength, tsk, big money! Such a big formation, it should be to assassinate yes, but which unlucky big man is it......
Just as Don was playing a game of hide and seek, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Mr. Arthur?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and looked at the waiter in front of him: "What's the matter with you?"
"Excuse me, there's a gentleman looking for you over there!" the waiter bowed and pointed in the direction to the right.
It was a side hall, and Fei Rui didn't know when he ran over there, and at this time he was looking at this side in the crowd, and after meeting Donn's gaze, he nodded, looking a little anxious.
"Xiexie!" Donn nodded to the waiter, then got up and walked through the crowd.
