After a few moments, Lance and Ike had an understanding look on their faces, and then they stood up, gave a general salute to the lord of the city, Andre, and turned to leave.

"By the way, I hereby grant you permission to bring weapons to the banquet, which is the privilege of the warriors. ”

Before leaving the door, the city lord André said to Lance and Ike.

—————————

As night fell, the banquet of the lord of the castle was held in the castle on time.

Dozens of richly dressed businessmen shuttled back and forth in the banquet hall, chatting with each other and inquiring about the news.

They all have the same purpose, that is, they hope to buy the unsalable grain in Kohima City at the lowest price, so as to make a good profit.

The banquet opened with Komodos, the butler.

Komodos, who behaved elegantly and very appropriately, wore a pure black aristocratic silk cardigan today, and his clothes were inlaid with various shining metal armor pieces, and under the light of the banquet lights, it seemed that the whole person was exuding dazzling light.

Butler Komodos held a megaphone made by an alchemist and walked slowly to the high platform in the center of the hall.

"Distinguished guests, thank you very much for joining the Grand Dinner hosted by Lord Kohima II Viscount Andrei, Lord of the City of Kohima, at such an extraordinary time, and allow me to extend my most sincere thanks and warmest welcome to all of you for your arrival. ”

With that, Komodos bowed deeply to the audience, and then there was applause.

The butler Komodos raised his hand and pressed it down gently, and the field immediately fell silent.

"Today, because of the arrival of distinguished guests, this place is full of brilliance, here, let us invite the greatest bard of the Southern Kingdom, Brian Aps, and his female companion, to present a wonderful performance for everyone, let us welcome with warm applause - Brian Aps, ......"

As the butler Komodos's words ended, the lights in the banquet hall went out instantly.

"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"

The moment the hall lights went out, a magical spotlight lit up, illuminating where Comodos was supposed to be standing, but now Brian Aps.

"Thank you, Lord Andrei, the greatest lord of the Southern Kingdom, Lord of Kohima City, for hosting this great banquet for us, and for now, let me Brian Aps, and my companion ......"

Brian said passionately as he held his old lute in his arms.

His tone paused, and then he reached out a hand to pull out a young woman in a black three-quarter-sleeved half-length pleated dress from a dark place where the magic spotlight had not reached.

This woman is none other than her female companion, Brooklyn.

"And my companion, Brooklyn Evelyn, to sing a song of praise to the great lord André......"

With that, Brian took Brooklyn's hand and pulled it gently, and Brooklyn danced under Brian's guidance.

At this time, the lights of the banquet hall gradually turned on.

I have to say that Brooklyn's dancing is indeed very beautiful, although there is still a little restraint in her movements, but this has no effect.

"When the ......"

A strumming sound sounded, and Brian played the lute and began to sing a pre-prepared hymn of praise.

And Lance and Ike, who were watching from the audience, were obviously not very suitable for this kind of "aristocratic" activity.

But now that I'm here, in addition to my own tasks, it's more comfortable to enjoy the food and watch the show.

"I'll just say why I haven't seen Brian in the past two days, it turns out that he is rehearsing with Brooklyn!"

Lance said to Ike, who was standing and eating.

Seeing that he didn't react, Lance shook his head helplessly, picked up a fruit from the table he picked up, and ate it with a click.

"Hey...... These foods taste even better than the food in the tavern, and I knew I shouldn't have eaten at noon......"

Ike said with delicious food in his mouth and a little slurred.

It seemed that he only heard Lance speak, but he didn't hear what Lance said.

"Then you can eat, but don't forget, we have other things to do, don't eat too much to affect the action......"

"Okay, okay, got it, I'm only half-full now......"

Faced with the fragmented thoughts that Lance was about to begin, Ike replied with some impatience.

It is undeniable that the food at the banquet is indeed very tasty, and Ike's meals are already very large.

So after a while, the self-pickup table they were at was empty, and there was nothing.

"Where did this dirt bun come from? It looks good, it's just their eating ...... It's like a starving ghost......"

A middle-aged lady wearing a long green bandeau tutu skirt with a somewhat bloated figure looked at Ike, who was eating non-stop, with disgust on her face, and said to a somewhat obscene fat man beside her.

"That is, I guess it was an uneducated illegitimate child who was brought to see the world...... Eh...... You see they're still armed ......."

The obscene fat man found both Lance and Ike at their waists, both wearing long swords.

This makes the obscene obese man a little confused.

You must know that in a banquet like this for the upper class, no one will wear weapons except for the guards.

"Yes...... It's really two people who don't understand the rules, and I really can't understand how Lord Andre would invite such a person to a banquet, it's really a disappointment. ”

The bloated lady turned her head to look to the other side with some disgust.

"Don't bother with them, anyway, we're just here to talk about business, if we can keep the price low enough, then our status in the Chamber of Commerce will be much higher, I heard that the northern border area has been a little unpeaceful recently, and the price of food may skyrocket......"

"Shh......h How can you say such a thing on such an occasion? If the news leaks out, it will not be good for you or me. ”

The bloated lady quickly interrupted the obscene fat man.

Then the two muttered quietly, and together they walked away from Lance and Ike, who were a little ugly.

In fact, the conversation between the noble lady and the fat man, Lance and Ike could hear it clearly.

It's just that the way they eat is indeed a little indecent, so Lance and Ike don't have anything to do with them.

And today they have a special task.

However, Lance and the others had heard some interesting information from the noblewoman.

"Hey...... Reims, is there something going on in the northern borderlands?"

Ike stopped eating, picked up a clean towel from the table, wiped his mouth and hands, and asked in a whisper.

"I don't know, but these businessmen are very well-informed, and I think what they say may be true. ”

"Then after we settle here, we can go to the northern border, and if there is a fight, we can still participate in some battles. ”

Ike said wistfully.

However, he saw Lance roll his eyes at him.

"Alas...... War is not a good thing, and I don't want war. ”

Lance said to Ike earnestly.

Indeed, once the northern and southern kingdoms went to war, the tribal forces in the west would also take advantage of the situation.

In that case, the rich Southern Kingdom will become the main battlefield, and it will be the civilians of the Southern Kingdom who will suffer at that time.

"I mean, if there is a war......"

"If there is a war, we will go to the Northern Kingdom and let those barbarians know that our warriors of the Southern Kingdom are fearless!"

A loud voice rang out behind Lance.
