The Death Knight of the Secret World

Chapter 70 0070. Backlund's Most Dazzling Gemstone
Because Ms. Sura is a female guest, Romeo Beckman also brought his wife to greet her, which was obviously expected before.

After all, when nobles receive invitations from other nobles, they usually ask the housekeeper to reply, whether to go or not, how many people to go, and when they will arrive, they will be notified first to avoid inconvenience.

It was also the first time Beomie met Ellen's sister-in-law. She was not a particularly beautiful lady, but she was difficult and had a bookish air about her.

Mrs. Beckman has a very good temperament. Even in the face of a future countess, she doesn't look unfamiliar and stiff, but rather graceful and decent.

Allen once said that his sister-in-law and his eldest brother met when they were in school. Because of the difference in status, it took them nearly ten years to be accepted by the Beckman family, which is not easy.

After all, no matter how poor the Beckman family is, they are hereditary lords, and this Ms. Arroyo is the daughter of an antique dealer.

In this era when the industrial revolution has just entered the right track, the social status of big businessmen is actually not very high.Although there are many well-to-do businessmen who are seeking their own political status, this road can only be said to have just been opened a crack.

Perhaps in Intis, where the industrial revolution is progressing relatively quickly, many big businessmen and big factory owners have obtained certain qualifications to participate in politics, but in the slightly conservative country of the Loen Kingdom, the status of big businessmen is still at the top. under the nobility.

There are indeed more and more cross-class marriages in Loen, but ten years ago, the marriage of nobles and businessmen was indeed full of various hardships.

Still, it's all worth it.The Arroyo family's continuous dedication is almost responsive, and after the Beckman family turned around and rose strongly, it has received rich returns.

Beomi led Armin and walked over slowly. After simply saying hello to the Beckmans, she consciously stood behind Ms. Sura.The little boy Almin also ran to Christina and began to exchange something in a low voice.

Romeo didn't show much surprise about this, he had already learned about Beomi's recent situation from Allen.Knowing that Beomi has become an extraordinary person, she works as a high-level sweeper under the low-key nobleman Ms. Sura.

Moreover, the official identity of Ms. Sura attending the dinner this time is actually [the person in charge of the Sweeper Office].

It is not suitable to reveal her identity as the only daughter of the Earl of Birmingham, because attending the dinner with this identity will have a completely different meaning.

The royal family has already arranged for an Earl of Louis to be present. If an Earl of Birmingham is added now, many people will misunderstand the position of the Beckman family.

For the nobles, it is not impossible to directly fall to the royal family, as long as the benefits are sufficient, they vote for it.

However, the royal family, the parliament, and the military actually depend on each other to check and balance each other, and the overall tilt to the royal family has a great impact on the future of the Beckman family.Because that means that in the circles of the parliament and the military, the Beckman family will lose some possibility of continuing to forge ahead.

Because Sura also brought her own daughter and a [ceremonial steward], Romeo led her into the hall, and Mrs. Beckman continued to lead her to the back garden, which was only for women.

The atmosphere of the Loen Kingdom is not open. It is also the top power in the Northern Continent, and it can be said to be two extremes with Intis in the west. The people of Intis are passionate and romantic, while the people of Loen are more conservative.

Therefore, in Intis, any large-scale social event has a high chance of developing into a fire bag meeting for the nobles in the end, and it may even evolve into a multiplayer sport.It's also quite... turbulent, and unrestrained!
Ruen's side, on the other hand, was relatively conservative, and there were even divisions between men and women. The men smoked, drank and played cards while the women played games or chatted in the garden.

Obviously, though, that wasn't why Ms. Sura had asked Beomie to come with her.

Beomi's identity is a high-level sweeper, and even the clothes Sura prepared for him have the emblem of the sweeper department.

Therefore, it is impossible for Beomi to go to the women's and children's table with her O Doudou.

His task is actually to be an entourage, accompanying his own leaders and dealing with people from government departments.

So, after arriving at the hall of the main venue, the two girls, Almin, followed Mrs. Beckman to the garden in the backyard.And Beomi followed Ms. Sura and walked towards the male guest room.

A lot of people have already come to the men's guest room. As the host, Viscount Beckman is chatting with a few men, and hearty laughter can be heard from time to time.

This man who was not promoted to the mid-level noble rank until he was in his 50s was quite high-spirited at the moment.

The person with the highest status in the men's guest room is actually the Mayor of Backlund—this is also a Mr. Viscount, and he is also a veteran nobleman.

However, the position of the mayor of Backlund is quite important, because to be the mayor of Backlund, the capital of all capitals and the capital of the Loen Kingdom, you must have triple certification.

The first is the appointment of the Augustus royal family of the Loen Kingdom, which represents the recognition of the royal power.

The second is the support of any one of the three major churches, which represents the recognition of theocracy.

The third level is the support of the citizens of Backlund, which generally requires a [mayor election], which will be passed with a high number of votes.

With this triple certification, it can be regarded as being able to secure the most important position of mayor of Backlund.

The previous mayor of Backlund was Ms. Sura's father, the cousin of the late King William VI - the Earl of Birmingham.

And now this Mr. Mayor is actually the Earl of Birmingham's [protégé].So, after seeing Ms. Sura, he stopped chatting with the host, Viscount Beckman, and asked the host to communicate with the future countess first.

Viscount Beckman is no stranger to Sura, a big man. Although his previous position belonged to the [ground support] of the navy, he had never been a horseman under the Earl of Birmingham, a big man in the army, but when the old earl was in power , he's just a kid.

Moreover, although Ms. Sulla came here as the person in charge of the sweeper office, she will still become [Countess of Birmingham] someday in the future.This kind of identity is enough for anyone to pay attention to.

The exchange time between Viscount Beckman and Ms. Sura was not too long. First of all, Mr. Beckman expressed his welcome to Ms. Sura and paid tribute to the Earl of Birmingham.Then, Ms. Sura congratulated Mr. Beckman on behalf of the middle and high-level aristocratic circle, and finally she congratulated Viscount Beckman on behalf of the Sweeper Organization.

After the brief greeting, Viscount Beckman invited Sura to the center of the hall.Then, the mayor of Backlund was the first to come over to exchange pleasantries with Ms. Sura, and greeted his old leader.

Then Sura chatted with the mayor for a few words, complaining about the speed with which Backlund's municipal finance department approved funds.

Most people really don't dare to complain directly to the mayor, but Ms. Su La dares.Not only did he dare, but the mayor on the opposite side had to laugh along with him.

Although the Sweeper Organization is to a certain extent under the jurisdiction of the [municipal department], it is relatively independent, which means that it is a bit obedient.

In terms of rank, Mayor Backlund is half a rank higher than the head of the Sweeper Office Headquarters—the boss of the Sweeper Department also has a [Deputy Mayor] post.

Not only the boss of the sweeper department, the boss of the police station, the three small heads of the council, even the chairman of the trade union, the president of the chamber of commerce, and other big bosses, all have a deputy mayor.

According to statistics, besides the mayor, Backlund has as many as twelve deputy mayors.

Theoretically speaking, even if the boss from the Sweeper Headquarters came, he might not dare to insult the mayor like this, but Ms. Sura is a noble person, so if she insulted her, she would insult her.

Seeing the mayor being bullied, several prominent figures nearby did not dare to express their views, so they could only come over one by one to say hello to Ms. Sura.And Ms. Su La really likes to ignore her, which makes this group of people a little embarrassed.

Just when the atmosphere here was a bit awkward, making Beomi who was following Ms. Sura a little uncomfortable, there was a noise outside the men's hall, as if some other important person had come.

Sure enough, after a while, Romeo, the eldest brother of the Beckman family, led a chubby middle-aged man in.

Beomi vaguely heard exclamations such as "It's Earl Hall", and couldn't help being a little curious and agitated—this is Miss Justice's father!
I just don't know if the most dazzling gem in Backlund is here?
While his mind was wandering, Beomi subconsciously opened up the deep level of spiritual vision - when the level of spiritual vision is relatively deep, he can temporarily obtain a certain degree of farsightedness.

Sure enough, after he poured his spirituality into his eyes, he saw a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes in the crowd.

Strictly speaking, this girl who is the same age as Beomi is really amazing in appearance, she is a bit taller than Katerina's otome, she can almost be regarded as the most beautiful girl Beomi has ever seen in this mysterious world. female.

However, the 16-year-old Miss Justice has not officially stepped into social situations, so she can only follow the middle-aged beautiful woman next to her to the garden behind.

At this moment, the traverser Beomi suddenly regretted not being able to follow Almin and the others to the female guest area at the back, and carefully appreciate the peerless appearance of the most dazzling gem in Backlund.

Seemingly aware of Beomi's unnatural movements, Ms. Sura followed his line of sight to look there, and guessed what he was looking at.

"Why, are you interested in Earl Hall's daughter?"

"No, I just heard people say that she is the most dazzling gem in Backlund, so I'm just a little curious!" Beomi said casually after recovering.
