Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 442: Rules of the Nobility

"Captain, I didn't expect it would be so easy for us to sneak in. I thought..."

Bagpipe said quietly as he looked around.

"Want to find a way to sneak in? That's not impossible, but it would be more convenient to talk to someone if we go through the front door."

Horn also changed into proper clothes, and as for weapons, they hid them where they could be used in time.

"It seems that the information obtained by my garrison friend is indeed very valuable. Not many people know about this party."

Bagpipe looked for a long time and found that everyone present was well-dressed and had excellent conversation.

Of course, it could be that he's just pretending.

"As far as I know, many secret aristocratic gatherings are held in this way - they often think that the invitations are too tacky."

Judging from the tone of the horn, it seems that it has seen many similar situations.

"As long as you have access to information and a token to prove your identity, you are qualified to cross this threshold."

Of course, Bagpipe also heard the usual sound of Horn, and her eyes could not help but look at the badge on Horn's chest to prove his identity.

"Captain, you never told me that your family is such a famous noble family."

"Is there a difference?"

Horn didn't have any other feelings. In the army, she was extremely annoyed by this kind of thing, and she had never thought of using her noble status to bully others.

"When we were in school, the noble students always formed their own groups. Of course, we studied together, but after class, they rarely did anything with us."

Horn scoffed at this behavior.

"Don't you like that set of red tape? A dress that can only be worn once, a makeup look that changes every week, the same greetings over and over again, and a smile on your face that is almost frozen."

Horn sighed, this was what she hated the most when she was a child.

Bagpipe covered his head, and bad memories suddenly flooded into his mind.

"Captain, please stop talking. I've been to this kind of event once or twice with my good friends. Just remembering which fork to use first when eating makes my head explode."

Even after the banquet, Fengdi was still not full, so he dragged Chen to a small restaurant for a full meal.

You know what, Chen is indeed a real aristocrat.

"It just so happens that I don't like it that much, but no matter how reluctant I am, I have to admit that this surname that I was born with occasionally brings some convenience."

This was true even in the army, where this identity inadvertently provided her with many conveniences.

"So, Captain, are all the people who came here to gather today supporters of the Ghost Army?"

The number is a bit too much.

Horn shook his head and answered, "I don't think so, but he is definitely someone the Ghost Army wants to recruit. Bagpipe, don't leave my side, and move together."

Of course, she was afraid that the bagpipes might cause some trouble. After all, she had not learned any professional skills to flatter others.

"Captain, look over there, someone is surrounded. Could it be some important person?"

Horn quickly turned his gaze in that direction, signaling Bagpipe to follow him. Instead of standing in the distance and watching, it would be better to go over and join their conversation.

Before he got close, Horn heard an unpleasant, strained voice, the sound of someone deliberately speaking in a pinched throat.

"Mr. Williams, I'm glad to see you at last! I heard that you would come, so I came all the way from Peninsula County just to ask you to sign my treasured collection of poems."

The smell of the perfume was really pungent. Beichen, who had blended into the crowd early, couldn't help but take two steps back and stepped aside.

What intelligence can be obtained?

They are all bragging, either bragging about themselves or bragging about others, and most importantly, they all seem to be enjoying it.

Beichen felt a little ashamed of himself.

"Ah, Beichen?"

As soon as Beichen squeezed out of the crowd, he ran into the bagpipes and horns that were walking in this direction.

"Bagpipe, this is.............."

Horn looked Beichen up and down and initially judged that he was rich and had a frivolous smile on his face. He didn't seem like a good person. How could Bagpipe know such a guy? Could he have been cheated?

"Captain, this guy is also my friend. When we went out to gather intelligence, he was walking with Miss Jenny who provided us with the intelligence."

Fengdi introduced enthusiastically in a low voice, but she looked at the luxurious jewelry Beichen was wearing at the moment and added.

"But Beichen wasn't as... uh, how should I describe it as he is now."

"You don't look that rich, do you? Hehe, if you want to blend in with this group of people, you can only pretend to be like this. After all, I don't know how to say flattering words."

Beichen shook his right hand, and the reflection of the ring was enough to attract the attention of everyone around him.

"Before you came, I had almost figured out the details of this group of people. No, they all came to me and introduced themselves. In short, I don't think there is any important intelligence."

Beichen said with some regret.

"Perhaps the important person has not yet appeared?"

"Bagpipes, is he trustworthy?"

Horn asked quietly in Bagpipe's ear. Although he knew it was rude to do so in front of others, Horn had to confirm it.

"Of course I am trustworthy. Do I need to ask Bagpipe?"

Before Fengdi could answer, Beichen answered first.

Instead of whispering in front of me, you might as well just speak directly.

"Now that you have heard it, I would like to ask what is your purpose of coming here."

Horn simply asked directly.

"Cough cough."

Beichen suddenly became serious.

"As the person in charge of the Rhode Island office in Kou County, many companies in Kou County have terminated their contracts with our company recently. It is reasonable for me to come and learn more about the situation."

This is true. Several entrepreneurs present at the event did terminate their partnership with Rhode Island for unknown reasons.

"Rhodes Island? ...I've heard of it. It's the pharmaceutical company that provides drugs to treat oripathy, right?"

Beichen nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. If you need my help, just let me know. It's too noisy here. My head hurts. I'm going to take a rest over there."

"By the way, I'll keep your weapons for you guys. Your hiding place doesn't seem to be that safe."

what!

Horn and Bagpipe immediately turned around and looked at Beichen.
