Chapter 145 The Night Banquet of the Rich Family

It just rained a little, and the streets of Tormond City were still wet, but the rain washed the dust in the air and drove away the summer heat, making people feel much more comfortable.

Leon walked along the main street in the direction of the temple in a hurry.

Three days have passed since the assassination that night. Tin Pi and Subaru participated in the trial of the temple yesterday. This morning, he received an invitation sent by Corin to attend a banquet at the Marquis of Nicholas's mansion in the evening.

In almost all cities, the aristocracy is always exclusive, and the price to pay to become one of them is often huge.

As the capital of the southwestern province, Leon was not qualified to enter the upper aristocratic circle of Tomund City, but with the help of Corinna, he got such an invitation that countless people dreamed of.

This invitation is not so much an invitation as a qualification, a qualification to enter the upper class.

As for whether to get into the wind and water after entering, or get out of the mess or even swallowed up by the belt bone, it all depends on your ability.

As an outsider, Leon has no idea of taking root in Tomund City. His roots are in Salling, not here, so this invitation is just a tool for him.

A tool that can achieve its own goals.

"Stop!"

Two Shenjun's horned horses moved a beautiful white carriage and slowly stopped in front of Leon.

The window with lace curtains was pushed open, and Corinna's familiar smile came out: "Baron Leon, why do you walk alone?"

Leon couldn't help rubbing his nose. Before he could answer, Corinne waved and said, "Come on, I'll take you with me!"

After that night, the relationship between the two was undoubtedly a big step forward, so Leon was not polite to her and happily got into the carriage.

"Hmm! You are much more handsome when you change into a dress, and you will definitely fascinate a lot of ladies and girls at night. Corinne laughed and said, "Be careful that someone proposes a duel to you!"

"That's their misfortune..." Leon shrugged his shoulders.

The fox girl looked at Leon with slightly strange eyes: "You know? I like your confident and proud appearance the most, as if nothing can make you difficult. I think a real man should have his own dignity and arrogance.

"Miss Corinna, is this a confession?" Leon said with a wry smile, "Then I really can't afford it."

"Dream about you!" Corinna smiled and said, "I won't like you!"

Leon smiled, and the atmosphere in the carriage became harmonious.

After the joke, Corinne talked to him about business.

As Leon expected, the invitation of the Marquis of Nicholas in the evening was exactly the compensation he promised to give Leon a few days ago. It was believed that after the banquet, Leon could get a qualification to participate in the underground black market of Tomund.

"If it's just an ordinary qualification, our marquis will definitely not be able to do it, and he can't afford to lose this person..." Corinna analyzed, "Then what he gave you must be the VIP qualification."

"With the qualification of VIP, you will be the highest-level customer in any merchant. The most important thing is that you can participate in the auction of treasures twice a month in the underground black market. You can entrust the auction of your own things and find what you need through the auction."

"Believe me, the power behind the underground black market is far beyond your imagination."

Reon understands that Corinna is telling herself how valuable this VIP qualification is. I'm afraid it's difficult to buy it even if you have money.

"It's all up to your help!" Leon sighed.

If he just goes to the door by himself, don't say anything about VIP qualifications, I'm afraid it's not easy to enter the underground black market.

Corinna waved her hand and continued, "About the assassins who assassinated you, the Marquis and the girors have also found something."

The assassins who assassinated Leon were not Tomund's local forces, but a team of foreign dark mercenaries who were hired by killers.

A little nobleman became a cover. Shortly after Leon stayed in the Twilight Hotel, the little nobleman took down the salon room downstairs of his room, and the assassins sneaked into the hotel as his entourage.

According to reliable information, there are five assassins in this group, one of whom was responsible for the assassination of Wangfeng and four people, and Leon and Corinne killed three of them.

"Because the other party laid a soundproof magic array boundary, it was not noticed by the hotel in time when the battle broke out. The caster and the lookout escaped."

Corinna said in a low voice, "When tracing the past, the little nobleman found that he had died at home, and the killer and the hunter disappeared at the same time, so the clues were basically interrupted."

Leon nodded. The other party was definitely deliberately trying to kill himself. The water in Tormond City is not ordinary deep!

But the enemy's plot will not make Leon any timidity, but only stimulate his stronger fighting spirit.

The residence of the Marquis of Nicholas has arrived.

The rich families of Tomund City are basically concentrated around the Temple Mount. This area can be said to be the core of power of the whole southwest province. In addition to the high-ranking temple, it also includes the gadmen's headquarters, the provincial governor's office, the council, the knight's academy and other important places.

The mansion of the Marquis of Nicholas is close to the Temple Mountain, covering an area of dozens of mu. More than a dozen beautiful small buildings arch a large luxurious white villa in the center, with a full range of vestibule gardens, grass, fountains and swimming pools.

On the gate, the emblem of the toothed tiger beast represents the glory of the family.

The lanes on both sides are full of all kinds of carriages, and the eye-catching family emblem on the board of the carriage shows the identity of the owner.

There is no doubt that this is an aristocratic banquet in the upper class of Tomund City.

Reon and Corinne got out of the carriage. Corinne naturally took his arm and walked towards the gate together.

After showing the invitation to the guard at the door, a waiter politely led the two to the golden hall of the villa.

There are many guests in the hall, such as well-dressed noble gentlemen, serious knights, rich businessmen with big belly and lady ladies with heavy makeup. With the accompaniment of soft music, they either whisper and laugh in groups, or dance in the small dance floor inside, and the atmosphere is harmonious and warm.

The well-trained attendants and maids shuttled through the crowd with silver plates and brought drinks and snacks to the guests. Marquis Nicholas was not there. Usually, he would show up before the dinner officially began.

Now is the time for guests to communicate. Everyone greets each other politely, as if they are old friends who have not seen each other for many years. Even if they secretly beat their heads and blood, they can talk and laugh here.

The ladies who were unwilling to be lonely shook their velvet fans, whispered to each other, and argued with the young and strong knights.

The scene in front of him made Leon feel extremely familiar. In the original world, the gatherings of dignitaries were also the place he often attended. Except for the different faces and the different decorations in the hall, everything else seemed to be the same.

"What's wrong?" Corinne asked softly.

She saw that Leon was a little distracted and thought that Leon felt uncomfortable because he came to such an occasion for the first time.

"Nothing..." Leon shook his head.

He reached out and stopped a passing servant, took two glasses of wine from the silver plate in his hand, handed one to Corinna, and took another cup and took a sip.

Conena took the glass, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She found that Leon was not what she thought, and it seemed that she often went to similar occasions.

"Sister Corinna..."

Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant voice came next to

, and two beautiful girls came along with them.

They are all seventeen or eighteen years old, which is the most youthful and beautiful age. The swan girl in the white skirt and the fox girl in the red skirt are pure and charming, like ice lotus and fire lotus, which is very pleasing to the eyes.

Seeing the two girls, Corinna's eyes suddenly lit up: "Angelie, Minglan, are you also here at night?"

"Yes!" The spoke was made of a fox girl. She smiled and hugged Corinna's arm: "Who is this handsome man? Sister, won't you introduce it to us?"

"This is Baron of Sal-collar..." Corinna introduced with a smile, "This is Angelie. Miss Fox, this is Minglan. Miss Siwo, both of you are the pearls of Tomund, the dream lover of the knights!"

She winked at Leon with a trace of ambiguity.

"It's not!" Angelie said coquettishly, "Sister Corinna is the worst. Obviously, she brought a man by herself..."

Before she finished her words, she was grabbed by Corinna's ribs, and immediately laughed and begged for mercy: "I'm wrong, I'm wrong..."

The girl's charming shouting almost attracted the attention of the whole hall. One of the three beauties was enough to attract the attention of others, and the three became the focus together.

Leon immediately felt the hot eyes around him, and some of them came directly at him. The young knights' eyes were quite bad.

Where did the guy come from? He can be with three beautiful women!

"Miss Angeli, Miss Minglan, it's nice to see you two..." Leon immediately said, "Miss Corinna, you talk, I'll sit over there."

Of course, Corinne understood the pressure on Leon and nodded with a smile. Angelie tilted her head to look at him with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

Only the swan girl, with a faint look, seems to be taken seriously by her.

As soon as he left the three stunning beauties, no one immediately paid attention to Leon. He found a seat in the sofa teahouse in the corner of the hall and took out a cigar from his inner pocket.
