hell under construction

In the royal city banquet, upper-class nobles gathered.

An earl in a remote area of ​​Garris, and he doesn't have many friends in the royal city, not many people chatted with him at the banquet, and there were even many nobles who looked down on him whispering behind his back.

"Where is the earl with that strange face? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I don't know. This year's Wangcheng Banquet is the first time since the new king took office. It is inevitable that some low-level nobles come here to enjoy the autumn wind. I have seen many such people."

A lot of disdainful eyes followed the conversation of the two nobles and cast Garris, who just bowed his head and drank.

"It's true. I don't know which lord of a poor place came to the royal city to attend a banquet under the title of an earl. Presumably the meal at this banquet was the best meal he ate in his life."

"Hahaha, come, come, try the rice wine I bought at a high price from Shanmugang County. This wine is very mellow. It is said that it was bought from other places at a high price and stored in the cellar. I spent a lot of money to buy it. Presumably those people who come from small and remote places have never even smelled the smell of alcohol!"

"Then I have to taste it!"

Hearing this sentence, Gareth chuckled, shook his head, and drank the fine wine in his glass.

The nobles on the side gathered together, shared the fine wine in the earl's hand, and let out bursts of admiration.

"This wine has a completely different feeling from the wines I have tasted before... This taste, from the entrance, a scorching heat rushed to the head, as if my head was about to be burned. It is a real wine. ! Fine wine!"

"By the way, Earl Noelle from Cedar Harbor County is also here this year, right? I heard that they have recently made a lot of money relying on the grain trade. Many people in Wangcheng want to do business with this earl!"

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and everyone looked up.

The person who came was the Earl Noelle from the words of the nobles. This earl was about 30 years old, with a strong body and a shrewd expression in his eyes. The appearance of nourishment is very luxurious.

Seeing Count Noelle, many people went up to chat, and Count Noelle politely greeted them one by one. Although there was a smile on his face, everyone could see that there was an aura of alienation on Count Noelle , I don't want to have too much friendship with them.

I am afraid that many people's ideas will not succeed.

Count Noelle looked around the entire venue, and when he saw Garris in the corner, his original aloof expression instantly changed.

He hurried two steps to Garris's table, there was no one there, so many people noticed that Count Noelle, who was overwhelmed by the stars, hurriedly came to the poor Earl who was ignored by no one.

Noelle, who was dressed in luxury, suddenly bowed and bowed when he saw Garris, and respectfully paid Garris a count salute: "Count Garris, so you are here too. Why don't you tell me , I will send someone to pick you up at the gate of the city, where will you live during the banquet these few days? Why don’t you go to my residence in Wangcheng?”

Garris gathered the wine glass in Juju's hand: "No, I just came here too. I didn't bring many people with me this time. I'm currently living in a small shop in the city."

"Is this the rice wine from Fengyan Fortress?" Noelle sniffed the smell of the wine in the air, savoring it deeply, "No, the smell of this wine is stronger and stronger than the few jugs you gave me before."

Garris nodded with a smile, picked up another empty wine glass at hand, and gave Noelle a glass of wine: "Well, this is a new batch brewed by Windsmoke Fortress, the alcohol content is higher than before, but because of the storage time Less, the taste is not mellow enough, but it is good to taste it in your spare time."

Noelle drank from the wine glass in his hand, enjoying himself: "No way! The rice wine produced by Fengyan Fortress is hard to put down. This time the rice wine is more mellow and richer than the previous ones. Ask Earl Garris to save a few more jugs for me, and I am willing to pay a high price to buy them."

Garris raised his eyebrows: "Where is Earl Noelle? If you are interested, I will naturally keep it for you. When the time comes, come to Windsmoke Castle and report my name directly, and the wine cellar will know."

"Hahaha, that's good, that's good," Noelle drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said briskly: "The last time I bought wine, the caretaker at the wine cellar said that the finished product that was brewed that time had been sold. It's over, I've been itching for a long time, this time I can finally buy rice wine, hahaha!"

The aristocrats next to each other who were tasting the rice wine blushed suddenly. Just now they were praising the expensive pot of rice wine, but they didn't expect that the poor nobleman they looked down on came from a place rich in rice wine. Embarrassed as hell.

"By the way, about the food trade—"

Noelle discussed with Garris in a somewhat humble manner. Last year, because winter came too fast in Cedar Harbor County, they had a food shortage. It was the food from Windsmoke Fortress that made them survive.

In the past few months, he has also obtained a lot of profits through the food channel of Fengyan Fortress, so he wants to maintain a cooperative relationship with Fengyan Fortress.

"If you have time, please come to Shanmugang County. I want to have a good talk with you about this matter."

Garris poured Noelle a glass of wine noncommittal: "I'll discuss this in detail after I return to Windsmoke Fortress."

"Oh, okay, okay, I will treat you well then."

Not far away, the nobles who had spoken ill of Garris just now, seeing that Noelle, who was unable to climb up to them, looked like he was licking a dog at Garris, and almost didn't drop his eyes.

There was another commotion at the entrance of the banquet, and it was the new king and several of his relatives who came.

The new king, Patrick, walked in the front, and behind him was the mainstay of the Holy Knights. The leader of the Holy Knights, Jeot, and several members of the Holy Knights, did not see the trace of the holy guide Elliott.

The fourth princess who was married walked in with her husband Earl Duer, followed by the fifth prince who had disappeared for a long time, and two twin princes and princesses who were still young.

When Patrick, the new king, came in, he had to talk to the nobles. Naturally, many nobles could not understand the face of the new king, but he had the support of the Holy Knights behind him. Although he had different thoughts, he did not People dare not give the new king face.

After Patrick said two or three words on the scene, it was the formal social link of the banquet.

The fourth princess, who was already Mrs. Dole, just exchanged greetings with her younger siblings, and then left to enter her husband's social circle. The twin princes and princesses were still young and were taken care of by their attendants.

The fifth prince, a royal family who once supported another faction, was a little embarrassed in this scene.

"That is the Fifth Prince... No, it should be the Fifth Prince now."

Noelle knew that Garris didn't have much contact with the nobles in the royal city, so he introduced him in a low voice.

"Well, after the new king came to power, the prince's life is a bit difficult, and he doesn't even have a decent attendant."

Garris just nodded lightly. He had also heard about the succession of the throne in the royal city, but he was not very interested in these intrigues. His territory was in the Windsmoke Fortress, and he had little involvement with the royal family, so he had no influence at all. What.

"That gentleman is here too!" Noelle made a surprised voice when he saw a familiar figure walking in from the door.

In this banquet of delicious food and wine, there was a sudden burst of fragrance.

Garris followed Noelle's gaze, and it was a handsome succubus who walked in: "That's... a succubus? Isn't this a banquet for the nobles of the human race? How could he come in?"

Noelle said in a low voice: "This succubus is a big shot in the royal city. His name is Lester. Although he is not a human race, he has a great relationship with the human race. He opened a shop called Wutongyan in the royal city. The shop, on the surface, it is the voice of selling news, but it is secretly connected with various forces in the royal city. It can be said that there is no nobleman in the royal city who does not know him."

Garris raised his eyebrows: "That's indeed a big man."

After Leicester came in, the surrounding nobles immediately centered on Leicester, forming a lively atmosphere.

Gareth smelled the fragrance in the air and had the urge to join there too.

But Garris suddenly remembered the succubus' talent for charm, shook his head, and quickly withdrew his thoughts.

"This succubus is really powerful..."

He almost fell into his path unconsciously.

Noelle was not as sober as Garris, and he raised his glass to Garris: "Gary, I'll excuse you first."

Garris nodded, took his own wine glass away from the succubus, and hid in a corner to drink his own.

"……demon……"

"demon……"

"It turned out to be...a demon?!"

Garris suddenly heard the term "demon" from the group of noble voices surrounding Leicester, immediately closed his ears, and turned his attention to the succubus.

Lester looked calm and unhurried: "Yes, I just visited the devil's abyss hell not long ago, and saw a lot of beautiful scenery."

"Lester, you have actually been to the abyss hell?! Have you ever seen a demon?!"

A somewhat reckless nobleman yelled such words loudly, causing the entire audience to focus on Leicester.

Patrick naturally noticed it too. He squeezed his little finger, thinking of the negotiation with the devil before, he felt lingering fear, but this kind of scene was not the time for him to show timidity.

"Mr. Lester, I have known you for a long time. I never thought that you have been to the abyss hell. The devil signed a peace treaty with the human race not long ago. So you have received an invitation letter from the devil?"

Lester bowed slightly and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty Patrick, not long ago, I entered the Stardust Forest in order to find alchemy materials, but I didn't expect to meet a demon family who collected the Stardust Fairies in the Stardust Forest. They invited me to the Abyss Hell. You, I will never forget that trip."

Not only did he see the beautiful scenery of hell, but he also got the last material for making the planet, and he gained a lot.

"Oh? How memorable?" Patrick asked.

Hooked.

Lester smiled nicely, and secretly glanced at Oswell who was not far away.
