Chapter 145: Night Banquet of the Wealthy Family (Part 1)

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

Leon walked along the main street and calmly towards the temple.

Three days have passed since the assassination that night, Tiempi and Subaru participated in the trial of the temple yesterday. This morning he received an invitation from Corinna to send him to invite him to the evening banquet held at the Marquis of Nicholas's residence.

In almost all cities, the aristocratic circle is always xenophobic, and the price to be included is often extremely high.

As the capital of the southwestern province, Leon was not qualified to enter the upper-class aristocratic circle in Tormond, but with the help of Corinna, he received such an invitation that countless people have dreamed of.

This invitation is more of an invitation than an invitation, and a qualification to enter the upper class.

As for whether you are doing well after entering, or whether you are in a mess or not, you are swallowed up by the belt bones, it all depends on your personal ability.

As an outsider, Leon had no idea of ​​taking root in Tormond City. His foundation was in Thallen rather than here, so this invitation was just a tool for him.

A tool that can achieve your goals.

"stop!"

Two wild horses with divine horses pulled a beautiful white carriage and slowly stopped in front of Leon.

The car window with lace curtains was pushed open, and Corinna's familiar smile appeared: "Baron Leon, why are you walking alone?"

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

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

"Well! If you look much more handsome when you change into a dress, you will definitely fascinate many noble ladies and girls at night." Corinna smiled and said, "Be careful that someone will make a duel to you!"

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

The fox girl looked at Leon with a slightly strange look: "Do you know? I like your confident and proud look the most, as if nothing can stump you. I think a real man should have his own dignity and pride."

"Miss Corinna, is this a confession?" Leon smiled bitterly and said, "Then I really can't afford it."

"Dream you!" Corinna burst out laughing, "I won't fall in love with you!"

Leon smiled and the atmosphere in the car became particularly harmonious.

After the joke, Corinna talked to him about the serious matter.

As Leon anticipated, the invitation from Marquis Nicholas in the evening was the compensation he promised to give Leon a few days ago. He believed that after the banquet, Leon would be qualified to participate in the underground black market in Tormond.

"If it's just an ordinary qualification, our Marquis will definitely not be able to come up with it, and he can't afford to lose this person..." Corinna analyzed: "Then what he got for you must be VIP qualification."

"With VIP qualifications, you will be the highest-level customer in any business. The most important thing is to participate in the underground black market's treasure auction twice a month. You can entrust auctions of your own things, and you can also find what you need through the auction."

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

Leon understood that this was Corinna telling herself that this VIP qualification was so precious that it was hard to buy even if it was rich.

"This is really up to your help!" Leon sighed.

If he just went to the door by himself, not to mention VIP qualifications, it would be not easy to enter the underground black market.

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

The assassin who assassinated Leon was not a local force in Tormond, but an alien dark mercenary squad, and someone hired them through a killer broker.

A little nobleman became a coverer. Shortly after staying at the Twilight Hotel in Leon, the little nobleman booked the private room in the salon downstairs of his room, and the Assassin's Door mixed into the hotel as his entourage.

According to reliable information, there were five assassins in this group, one person was responsible for Wangfeng and four people were responsible for assassination, and three of them were killed by Leon and Corinna.

"Because the other party set up a soundproof magic barrier, the hotel did not detect it in time when the battle broke out. The caster and the wind-seeing person escaped."

Corinna said in a deep voice: "When tracing the past, the little noble found dead at home, and the killer broker disappeared at the same time, and the clues were basically interrupted."

Leon nodded. The other party was definitely trying to kill himself. The water in Tormond was not as deep as possible!

However, the enemy's plot would not make Leon feel any fear, but could only arouse his stronger fighting spirit.

Marquis Nicholas's residence has arrived.

The wealthy families in Tormond City are basically concentrated around Temple Mount. This area can be said to be the core of power in the entire southwestern province. In addition to the high temple, it also includes the garrison headquarters, the provincial governor's office, the council, the Knights' Academy and other important places.

The mansion of the Marquis of Nicholas is close to the Temple Mountain, covering an area of ​​dozens of acres. More than a dozen beautiful small buildings guard the center a luxurious white villa, a vestibule garden, grassland, fountain and swimming pool.

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

The boulevards on both sides are full of various carriages, and the eye-catching family emblems on the carriage boards illustrate the owner's identity.

There is no doubt that this is a noble party in the upper class of Tormond.

Leon and Corinna got out of the carriage, and Corinna naturally took his arm and walked towards the door together.

After presenting the invitation to the guards at the door, a servant politely led the two to the golden hall of the villa.

There were many guests in the hall, including well-dressed noble gentlemen, serious knights, big-bellied wealthy businessmen and rich ladies with heavy makeup. Accompanied by soft music, they either chatted and laughed in groups in low voices, or danced in the small dance floor inside, with a harmonious and warm atmosphere.

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

Now is the time for guests to communicate, and everyone greets each other politely, as if an old friend who has not seen him for many years, even if he secretly beats his bloody enemy, he can chat and laugh here.

The ladies who were unwilling to be lonely shook their velvet fans and whispered to each other, judging 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 places where he often attended. Except for different faces and different decorations in the hall, the others seemed to be the same.

"What's wrong?" Corinna asked softly.

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

"Nothing..." Leon shook his head.

He reached out to stop a passing servant, took two glasses of wine from his silver plate, handed one to Corinna, picked up another one and took a sip.

Corinna took the wine glass and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She found that Leon was not what she thought, and seemed to be in and out of similar occasions.

"Sister Corinna..."

A crisp and pleasant sound suddenly came from beside him, and two beautiful girls came over.

They are both seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are the most youthful and beautiful age. The swan girl in white dress and the fox girl in red dress are pure and beautiful. They are all so beautiful and charming, like ice lotus and fire lotus, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

Seeing these two girls, Corinna's eyes lit up: "Anqili, Minglan, are you here too?"

"Yes!" The fox girl was speaking. She hugged Corina's arm with a smile: "Who is this handsome guy? Sister won't introduce it to us?"

"This is Baron Leon under the leadership of Sal..." Corinna smiled and introduced: "This is Miss Angeli Fox, this is Miss Minglan Swo. Both of them are the pearls of Tormond, the dream lovers of the knights!"

She blinked at Leon, her tone with a hint of ambiguity.

"No!" Angeli said coquettishly: "Sister Corinna is the worst. She obviously brought a man herself..."

Before she finished speaking, Corinna grabbed her ribs with one hand, and she immediately smiled and curled up into a ball and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong..."

The girl's charming shout almost attracted the attention of the entire hall. Any of these three beauties came out was enough to attract the attention of others, and the three of them were simply the focus together.

Leon immediately felt the hot gazes coming from around him, and some were directed at him, and the young knights looked quite unkind.

Where did the guy come from? He can actually be with the three beauties!

"Miss Angeli, Miss Minglan, I'm very happy to see the two..." Leon immediately said: "Miss Corinna, you guys, I'll sit there."

Of course, Corinna understood the pressure Leon was under, and nodded with a smile, while Angeli tilted her head to look at him, with a hint of playful and curious look in her eyes.

Only the swan girl had a faint expression, as if she was not caring anything to her heart.

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