Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 140 Five Banquet of the Noble Family

There was a light rain just now, and the streets of Tormund 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 walked towards the temple in a calm manner.

Three days have passed since the assassination incident that night. Tinhide and Subaru participated in the trial of the temple yesterday. This morning he received an invitation sent by Corinna, inviting him to participate in the evening at the mansion of Marquis Nicholas. banquet.

In almost all cities, the aristocratic circle is always exclusive, and the price to be paid to join it is often extremely high.

As the capital of the Southwest Province, Leon was not eligible to enter the upper class circle of Tormund City, but with Corinna's help, he got such an invitation that several people dreamed of.

This invitation is not so much an invitation as a qualification, a qualification to enter the upper class.

As for whether it's a mess after entering, or get out in embarrassment, or be swallowed up to the bone, it's all up to the individual.

As an outsider, Leon didn't have any idea of ​​establishing a foothold in Tormund City. His foundation was in Thrarland rather than here, so this invitation was just a tool for him.

A tool capable of fulfilling its own purpose.

"stop!"

Two wild horned horses pulled a beautiful white carriage, and it slowly stopped in front of Leon.

The car with the lace curtain was driven, and Corinna's familiar smile appeared: "Baron Leon, why are you walking alone?"

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

After that night, the relationship between the two had undoubtedly taken a big step forward, so Leon didn't show any politeness to her, and happily got into the carriage.

"Hmm! You're much more handsome in a dress, and you're sure to charm many ladies and girls at night." Corinna smiled and said, "Be careful if someone proposes a duel to you!"

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

The fox girl looked at Leon slightly strangely: "You know what? I like your confident and proud look the most, as if you can't beat you no matter what, I think a real man should have his own dignity and arrogance. "

"Miss Corinna, is this a confession?" Leon smiled wryly, "Then I really can't bear it."

"Dream you!" Corinna laughed and said, "This lady won't fuck you!"

Leon chuckled, and the atmosphere in the carriage became extraordinarily harmonious.

After the banter, Corinna got down to business with him.

Just as Leon had expected, the invitation from Marquis Nicholas tonight was the compensation he had promised Leon a few days ago. He believed that after the banquet, Leon would be able to obtain a qualification to participate in Tormund's underground black market.

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

"With the VIP qualification, you will be the highest-level customer in any merchant. The most important thing is that you can participate in the twice-monthly rare auctions in the underground black market. You can entrust your own things to be auctioned, and you can also find yourself through the auction. what is needed."

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

Leon understood that this was Corinna telling herself how precious this honored guest qualification was, and it might be difficult to buy even if she had money.

"It really depends on your help!" Leon exclaimed.

If he just went to find the door by himself, don't talk about VIP qualifications, I'm afraid it would not be easy to enter the underground black market.

Corinna waved her hand and continued: "The Marquis's people and the garrison have also found out something about the group of assassins who assassinated you."

The assassin who assassinated Leon was not a local force in Tormund, but a dark mercenary squad from outside, someone hired them through a killer broker.

A little nobleman became a cover. Not long after Leon checked into the Twilight Hotel, this little nobleman took over the salon room downstairs of his room, and the assassin entered the hotel as his entourage.

According to reliable sources, there were five assassins in this batch, one was in charge of the watch and the other four were in charge of assassination, and it was three of them that Leon and Corinna killed.

"Because the opponent had set up a sound-proof magic circle, the hotel didn't notice in time when the battle broke out, and the caster and the lookout escaped."

Corinna said in a deep voice: "When we traced the past, the little nobleman was found dead at home, and the killer broker disappeared at the same time, so the clues were basically broken."

Leon nodded, the other party was definitely planning to put himself to death. The water in Tormund City is not so deep!

But the enemy's plot will not make Leon feel any fear, it can only arouse his stronger fighting spirit.

The residence of the Marquis Nicholas has arrived.

The wealthy families in Tormund City are basically concentrated around the temple mountain. This area can be said to be the power core of the entire southwest province. In addition to the high temple, it also includes the garrison headquarters, the provincial governor's office, Important places such as the council, knight academy, etc.

The mansion of the Marquis Nicholas family is close to the Temple Hill, covering an area of ​​several tens of acres. A dozen beautiful small buildings guard a luxurious white villa in the heart. The front garden, grass, fountains and swimming pools are all complete.

On the gate, the emblem of the Toothed Tiger represents the glory of this family.

The boulevards on both sides are full of various carriages, and the striking family emblem on the carriage board shows the identity of the owner.

There is no doubt that this is an aristocratic banquet in the upper class of Tormund City.

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

After showing the invitation to the guard at the door, an attendant politely led the two of them to the golden hall of the big villa.

There are many guests in the hall, well-dressed nobles and gentlemen, serious knights, rich businessmen with big bellies, and ladies with heavy makeup. Accompanied by soft music, they may chat and laugh in groups in low voices, or inside Dancing on the small dance floor, the atmosphere is harmonious and warm.

Well-trained attendants and maids shuttled through the crowd with silver trays, serving drinks and snacks to the guests. Marquis Nicholas was not there, and usually he would show up before the official start of the dinner.

Now is the time for the guests to communicate. Everyone greets each other politely, like old friends who haven't seen for many years.

Not willing to be lonely, the noble ladies shook their velvet fans, whispered to each other, and commented on the young and strong knights.

The scene in front of him made Leon feel rather familiar. In the original world, he often attended the gatherings of dignitaries. Except for the different faces and the different decorations in the hall, everything else seemed to be the same.

"What's wrong?" Corinne asked softly.

She was a little dazed when she saw Leon, thinking that it was because Leon felt unwell when he came to such an occasion for the first time.

"Nothing..." Leon shook his head.

He reached out to stop a passing attendant, took two glasses of wine from the silver plate in his hand, handed one to Corinna, and took a sip from the other.

Corinna took the wine glass, her eyes flashed with astonishment, she found that Leon was not what she thought, he seemed to frequent similar occasions.

"Sister Corinna..."

Suddenly a clear and sweet voice came from the side, and two beautiful girls walked over.

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

Seeing these two girls, Corinna's eyes lit up immediately: "Angeli, Minglan, are you here tonight?"

"Yeah!" It was the fox-born girl who spoke, and she hugged Corinna's arm with a smile: "Who is this handsome guy? Sister, won't you introduce us?"

"This is Baron Leon of Thrall..." Corinna introduced with a smile: "This is Miss Angelie Fox, and this is Miss Ming Lansworth, both of whom are the jewels of Tormund, knight The lover of our dreams!"

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

"That's not it!" Angeli said coquettishly: "Sister Corinna is the worst, she obviously brought a man with her..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Corinna grabbed her ribs with one hand, and she shrank into a ball with a smile and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong..."

The girl's coquettish shout almost attracted the attention of the entire hall. Just one of these three beauties coming out was enough to attract the attention of others, and the three together became the focus.

Leon immediately felt the scorching gazes from around him, some of them were directed at him directly, those young knights had rather unkind eyes.

Where did the guy come from, to be able to accompany the three beauties!

"Miss Angeli and Miss Minglan, it's a pleasure to meet you two..." Leon immediately said, "Miss Corinna, you two, I'll sit over there for a while."

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

Only the swan girl remained calm, as if she didn't care about anything.

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