On the day of the Potts family's head's birthday banquet, almost [-]% of the guards in Pandexi City gathered near the Potts family's main house.
From the royal family to the wealthy family, it can be said that the representatives of the most important families in the empire, one-third of them gathered here this evening.During this period, if there is any damage, it is not only Pozi's problem, but even Pandexi City, one of the seven city lords of the empire, cannot bear it.
This year, there are not many guests, mainly because the birthday star Kono Potts clearly stated that this year, young heirs from various families are welcome to attend, so that the younger generation can take this opportunity to get to know each other and communicate with each other. Maintain a closer cooperative relationship in the future.
The real purpose behind this kind of banquet direction is actually to evade Hestia's suspicion.
After all, Emperor Hess is now looking for troubles for certain members of the House of Nobles; just because of the princess's succession case that was rejected by the House of Nobles a while ago.As for the birthday banquet of the Patriarch of the Potts family, even Hestia issued an edict to congratulate him. The amulet of the Wannian Crown Prince's Party can't be eaten around.
Similarly, the aristocratic families who received this kind of invitation were very willing to cooperate, so the age group of the guests present this year has been significantly reduced.Even so, the family power represented by each young attendee is one in a million, prominent and important.If it wasn't for Kono Potts who wanted to test the younger generation this year, leaving aside the ability of the light magician, if only relying on the more than 200 million gold coins accumulated in Pound's ring, there is still a small gap in getting an invitation to attend.
However, for Pound, Lance's invitation was just an entertainment that was not easy to refuse.After all, it was only then that Lance offered a friendly olive branch. If he refused Lance's invitation in the next minute, it would seem too indifferent and perfunctory.
So, in the mood of watching the excitement, Pound brought a modest gift suggested by Geya, and together with Funk, came to the luxurious banquet hall of the main house built by the Potts family who accumulated wealth for three generations.
***
The grand design of the banquet hall's high-arched long hall, the layers of arched beams are engraved with intricate totem carvings, and bright gemstone candlesticks and pure white flower decorations are used everywhere in the hall; in the color of the empire The meaning of celebration, combined with dark blue tassel tapestry, velvet curtains, etc., give the banquet hall a luxurious but not too extravagant atmosphere.
However, the guests present were not as well-dressed as the Potts family's deliberate understatement.Especially for the female companions brought by the guests, they can finally show the most gorgeous jewelry dresses in such a large banquet; at the same time, they can show the power of the family by the way.What's more, since the gala is dominated by the younger generation, it means that there will be more children from aristocratic families who have not yet entered marriage, and it is also an extremely important "blind date" occasion, so we must pay attention to the image.
So when Pound and Funk entered the hall, they were almost dazzled by a burst of bejeweled clothes and fragrant temples.
But I don't know that the simple and neat dress and the leisurely attitude of the two of them, among the children of a family who are overdressed, further reflect their own excellent conditions; in terms of appearance alone, this refers to Pound's exquisite The facial features and funk have a handsome temperament.
And Lance noticed Pound and Pound's entry in the first time. While everyone around secretly guessed who they were looking at, Lance immediately brought the two to Kono to greet him.According to the banquet process of the imperial nobles, the guests present should first greet the host after arriving at the scene and before the banquet officially begins, but after the greetings, it is free time for socializing.
"Grandpa, this is His Excellency Pound Hess, and his companion, His Excellency Funk Warrillk," Lance said respectfully as he brought the two of them to Ko Nuo.
At this moment, Ko Nuo was still surrounded by two or three guests, and it seemed that the conversation with the previous batch of greeting guests had not yet ended.Normally, this would be an inappropriate interruption.But because there were too many guests, this evening had to have such an interruption, so that Kono could get away from talking with some overly enthusiastic guests.
So Ko Nuo nodded to Lance with a smile, accepted the interruption, and gave a conclusion to the previous guest.
"I'm sorry, I really can't talk for long today, but I am very grateful to Mr. Fonso for the advice you have conveyed to the Fonso family. We will consider it carefully. But please also convey a few words about Bozi's position. Customer information is related to Bozi's business for many years. Reputation, unless it concerns the safety of the empire, it is really difficult for Potts to make an exception for a single incident..."
Such a sentence of "Your Excellency Fang Suo" made Pound turn his attention to the previous group of guests.
Unsurprisingly, among the guests, there was indeed a young man with black hair and black acting, with a pale face and tightly pursed lips, as if dissatisfied with arrogance.It turned out that the first group of guests was the "Potions Prodigy" Rudy Fonso who was secretly tricked by Pound in the Potions Contest.After getting Poz's invitation to come to Fonso's house, let Rudy Fonso, who came to Rogner to study, attend the nearest representative.
As for the customer information mentioned in the talk...
Pound raised his eyebrows slightly in his heart, could he be referring to the owner of the "Water Drop Bell"?
Lance on the side really raised his eyebrows because of this coincidence.The way he looked at Pound and then at Ko Nuo was strange.
Before tonight, Lance had explained Pound's "identity" to Kono.
Because Kono took the initiative to ask Lance why he invited Pound; Pound is currently a complete civilian, so it is not surprising that Kono would ask this question.So Lance first explained the help by the lake and the ability of Pound's light system. Even though Kono was surprised after hearing it, he asked "That's all?" Lance then recruited "Water Drop Bell" with a wry smile. With the turmoil caused by the "Midnight Gem" and the identity of the mysterious seller of the "Midnight Gem", Ko Nuo became more and more interested in Pound.
So at the moment, while Ko Nuo was dealing with Fang Suo, he also paid attention to observe Pound's reaction.When Pang De saw Fang Suo, he didn't feel guilty or evasive, and stood beside him smilingly and waiting generously.Even when Rudy Fonso turned around to say goodbye and left, Pang De and Rudy met eyes.
And Pound's impressive facial features made Rudy stop, and said, "I've seen you."
"Really?" Pound replied with a smile on his face, "Could it be in Kuluo? I am honored to watch this year's Potion Contest. I have seen His Excellency Fang Suo's outstanding performance, but I am quite impressed. I didn't expect to have the opportunity today." Meet again."
When the potion contest was mentioned, Rudy's obvious displeasure returned to his face, and he seemed to have lost his interest in talking. He snorted and stopped talking, and left Pound with his entourage.For this reason, Pound innocently stepped aside and watched Rudy leave with an inexplicable expression on his face.
Then when Pound turned his attention back to Kono and Lance, Kono couldn't help joking, "If this kid knows that the person he's been looking for is right in front of him, his temper will definitely be even worse." Although the tone was relaxed, it implied that Potts could be regarded as holding Pound's pigtail.
Pound didn't suffer from this kind of dark loss. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "No, Rudy, who is also a potion master, may be more curious about the formula of the 'Midnight Gem'. After all, at that time, everyone will know who to ask."
Ko Nuo was taken aback for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, you really have courage. Forgive me, an old man, who likes to imagine wonderful situations that will never happen."
Because what Pound just said just now hinted that if Pots leaked his information to Fang Suo, then Pound would also consider blaming himself as the seller of the "Midnight Gem" to blame Pots for leaking the secret.
Now the "Midnight Gem", which is highly sought after by the upper class nobles, its excellent effect and high degree of mystery are the factors that make the nobles compete for bids.If Potts is found to have dared to leak such important information, it will cause serious and irreparable damage to his goodwill, which is known for its secrecy.Of course, this is a way of hurting the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, but as long as it is effective, Pound expressed his determination to fight when it is time to fight. will happen" promise.
When Pang De heard this, he softened, "No, the younger generation dares to be so bold, I still pay attention to Potts' admirable execution ability," he did not forget to praise, "So I never consider auction houses other than Potts. Seeing as the younger generation is This is such a loyal little customer, it’s time to raise your hand.”
"Customer loyalty?" Kono smiled happily, "That's really an interesting saying."
Then Lance interjected, "What did Grandpa tell Pound?"
Lance, who has been listening quietly since the beginning, may have been overly troubled by the invitation list recently. He has not read the latest report of the Capital Auction House this month. He is really confused by the "Midnight Gem" and the riddle between Kono and Pound. .
Ko Nuo looked helpless, "You boy, you still don't understand the situation. Your Excellency Hess was invited, didn't you?"
Lance was still asking questions, but it was another member of the Potts family who greeted the guests with him.Ko Nuo couldn't care less about one thing than the other, and finally explained to Pound with a smile, "You are welcome to come to Potts' house for a walk when you have time", and then he was busy with the next batch of guests.
But Ko Nuo's invitation was casual, but it made the cronies who had been with Ko Nuo treat Pang De differently.After all, apart from expressing Kono's recognition of Pound, among the young people who visited today, there are only a handful of people who can make Kono say this.
However, Pound didn't pay attention to such details at this time. When he and Funk left with Lance, they felt a little relieved.From the old Potts' attitude towards the "Potts" signboard, Pound knew that he had played the right card.Whether it is for the "Water Drop Bell" or the "Midnight Gem", the part that I want to keep secret should not be easily "sold out" by Poz.To ensure that this guarantee will last forever, Pound glanced at Lance who was walking beside him, thinking that perhaps he should be more concerned about the struggle for the successor of the Potts family...
Just as he was thinking this way, a loud notification came from the entrance of the banquet hall.
After being here for a while, Pound observed that such discreet treatment only occurs when very important guests visit.
"Report!! Gonzal... His Royal Highness the Second Prince Hess is here---!! Gift------"
From the royal family to the wealthy family, it can be said that the representatives of the most important families in the empire, one-third of them gathered here this evening.During this period, if there is any damage, it is not only Pozi's problem, but even Pandexi City, one of the seven city lords of the empire, cannot bear it.
