Chapter 248 The Great and Powerful

Seeing the many ladies and noblewomen downstairs, shuttling around the powerful people like socialites, George was slightly surprised to find that this banquet was different from the rough lord gatherings commonly seen in the North, but was closer to the banquets at the Black Pearl Manor.

Luxurious, yet with a strong social nature.

He looked down, and soon saw Tanya, who was like a star surrounded by the moon. The earl, marquis, and even duke, the powerful people from the east and even the south, had surrounded her, obviously enthusiastic about this powerful and upstart from the valley.

Of course, His Royal Highness Prince Robert was like her knight, always by her side.

‘It’s really a gathering. After so many years, the Kingdom of Rodunk has presented such a grand occasion in this doomsday. It’s like the center of the world’ George had a very strange feeling in his heart.

The knights, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked out from behind George and walked into the crowd with a gentleman’s smile. The Knights of the Black Lake brought the Knights of Judgment and quickly integrated into this grand banquet. The Knights of the Black Lake, who came from aristocratic families, were familiar with dealing with such scenes.

"Come here, George, I'll introduce you to some friends." Count Leighton in the crowd came over at some point, as if he had been staring at the door.

"I'm a little late, sorry." George took the wine glass handed by Leighton and nodded slightly.

"Not late, not late. This dress really suits you very well." After a little politeness, Count Leighton quickly started chatting with George.

After Leighton and others left, George and Tanya and others discussed in the semi-study room, and Tanya and others who were not wearing armor arrived first - mainly with George's "sister", "Lona Bolton", and Rona's teacher, Tanya's magic consultant "Grand Scholar Raphael". This would give her more topics to talk about, and Rona Bolton and Raphael, the two magic consultants, would not only raise her status to a higher level, but Rona would also be able to identify the "special people" among the nobles, and Rosgerd might recognize some people.

George and others came without their armor.

In such a banquet, it is extremely impolite to wear a full set of armor. It is a blatant offense to the reputation of others. No one will talk to you, and it may even cause great dissatisfaction to the host-because it shows that he is on guard against assassinations around him.

But because of the martial spirit, weapons can be carried. And long swords, rapiers, rapiers and other items are also considered decorations.

Gradually, George learned that the dignitaries who fled from the eastern part of the Kingdom of Rodunk had basically all fled to Fallen Leaf City-at first, they were in the Green Water City, but after the Green Water City experienced the terrible period of the siege by the black tide, the nobles began to love this rear area that seemed to be safer.

Most of those who could escape from the black tide were those who could receive the news first. Therefore, most of the nobles in the upper class have private property in major cities, so they have industries or real estate, manors, etc. in Fallen Leaf City, and naturally they are no exception.

This is one of the reasons why those noble ladies and young descendants of nobles also appear here-how can there be no socialites in such social occasions and celebration banquets? Moreover, after the Griffin Knights and others returned to Fallen Leaf City for supplies, the little prince of Elda attracted all the nobles to this banquet like honey.

Although the nobles of Rodunk have lost a lot of territory in the east, they still have a lot of private property and even fiefdoms in other areas and even abroad. And when they fled, the wealth they carried was still very considerable. This made them very popular. Rather than being rejected by the southern lords.

No one dared to regard these people as stray dogs who fled in despair. And no great lord dared to look down on them.

Because they have a huge network of people.

Although they have lost a lot, even the earliest fiefdom of their ancestors. But for the real nobles, this is not a complete loss - it can even be said that even if the entire Rodunk Kingdom was destroyed and the dynasty was replaced. Many noble families will still be the powerful ones.

As long as the order is still there, the status of the nobles will still be very important. This is not only because a lean camel is bigger than a horse, but also because they still have a very high status in the hearts of the people and the small nobles!

His Majesty Philips ascended the throne smoothly under their joint recommendation.

The people who can appear here today are very special. They are a big part of the reason why so many lords from the south can come.

And among the people who are qualified to come in today, any one of them may be a blood relative of a noble in a southern country. And because of their status, even if only the elder brother is left, as long as there is a name, then for political reasons, there will be the nobles in the south to support them - because it is also related to their own interests. Just like when Elizabeth's cousin in the Kingdom of Elda was bullied in the Kingdom of Elda, the old earl really took people to ask for justice.

Can you bully the blood relatives of the Black Pearl family?

The same is true for other nobles.

This makes dynasties change frequently, but aristocratic families will exist for thousands of years.

Of course, there are also interests involved - this is where identity comes into play.

The great nobles of the Rodunk Kingdom who are gathered here often want to get back what once belonged to them. When faced with the demands made by other nobles, they are willing to nod with determination. Or you may be the leader relying on your own name or connections.

At this time, the great nobles in the south will be able to obtain their own interests in the Rodunk Kingdom. Or it could legitimately achieve certain political goals - it could also be that the Rodenk Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom each get what they need.

Just like the current distribution of materials.

"Many people have turned to Grand Duke Yongfeng, hoping to help me regain my lost land and property. But they were rejected." After introducing several earls, Earl Leiden said to George: "So I said, Earl Black Pearl's army Coming here is of great significance.”

George nodded secretly. The few nobles just now were indeed very eager, as if they saw new hope.

In their hearts, Earl Black Pearl not only has great strength. It also has great appeal. And this entire rear area of ​​the Western Territory can even affect Grand Duke Yongfeng’s decision!

After seeing Tanya Campbell, the ‘upstart’ who represents Elizabeth, the weight of the Black Pearl Flag has increased a bit - it can not only affect the Grand Duke Windsong, but also the Kingdom of Elda!

Compared with the greedy southern princes, these Rodunk people are more willing to trust their own people. And in the entire kingdom, there are few families whose reputation is more reliable than the Earl of Black Pearl.

"Go and do your work, Lord Leyton. Staying with me all the time is really annoying you." George looked at Tanya not far away and said politely to Earl Leyton. As he said that, he wanted to go over.

"No, no, no, come on, let me introduce you. The man over there is the 'Marquis of Dagushan' from Landry. Come with me." Earl Leiden enthusiastically hugged George's back. Walked over there.

George's forehead twitched slightly, and he had no choice but to move behind Earl of Leyton - the title of Duke might be for a royal family with only a small fiefdom. But people like the Marquis, Count Fang, and Great Baron are all powerful! Either a prince holding a heavy army, or a general (baron) under a certain big boss! He simply couldn't refuse.

The Marquis of Dagushan was obviously a hot spot at the banquet. The noble women surrounding him immediately took the initiative to say hello when they saw Leiden coming with a young man.
