Vol 4 Chapter 19: Tricky Feast (Part 1)

"It's such a busy man, great wizard advisor ---"
As soon as he turned his head, Loren saw the angry little wizard standing behind him, with an unhappy look on his shoulders, sarcastically holding his shoulder in a teasing tone.
At that moment, the expression of the dark-haired wizard was so wonderful and wonderful.
Charlotte first, then Ain ... Should n’t I go out today?
"I only came for His Highness Brandon, and I didn't really like it." Someone shrugged helplessly, Loren twitched his mouth:
"Although not as extreme as Isaac, this purely profit-shaped banquet really has nothing to attract me."
"Oh ... Isn't it really?" Ai Yin with a blank expression deliberately dragged the long tail, and his small nose hummed softly:
"Not even a beautiful woman with" black hair "?"
"Of course, it's enough to just deal with the guys who thought they were snakes ... wait, beautiful women with black hair?"
Suddenly, Loren raised his eyebrows and unconsciously said: "You see?"
"I just found it by accident, it seems that you are quite intimate ... and also pretended to look like you don't know each other." Some guilty Ain blushed to avoid his gaze, thin lips pouted: "Ming Ming I just came here to see someone else, but I had to talk about some work, it was like ... "
The little wizard wanted to say "cheating", but he never said it, just snorted.
"Hey, hello, do you think I and her ... this is too ridiculous ?!"
"Isn't it?" For some reason, the inexplicable angry Ain posted and asked, "No lies, I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Of course not! I ... I don't even know how to explain it to you ..." Loren, who smiled bitterly, sighed helplessly: "What should I say, strictly speaking, this Miss Charlotte may be my cousin, Of course she would never admit ... "
Next, Loren spent two minutes whispering with Ain to explain the whole thing ... Of course, only the matter of the alliance between the two parties was mentioned, and the marriage was intentionally omitted in order to avoid misunderstanding.
The little wizard did n’t believe it first, then was a little surprised, and finally surprised ... He looked at the black-haired wizard incredulously: "So, she is to restore Byrne ..."
Before she finished speaking, she covered her mouth nervously, and looked around her cautiously before daring to loosen it slowly.
Although it still feels that Loren hasn't told the truth completely, Ain has roughly understood what is going on, and can't help but be afraid and funny about his previous cranky thoughts.
Fortunately, I didn't catch up at the time. Otherwise, the little wizard couldn't help but rejoice in my heart.
And even if it is true, why do you get angry; this big idiot, at most, is a better friend!
Just when the two were relieved, the banquet was nearing its end;
"Lord Xifeng Mountain, Lord Count of Sackland Empire, and Lord Chancellor of the Former Treasurer Siscott Zahn arrive!"
Under the applause of a Yaowu Yangwei servant, the whole banquet hall was quiet for a moment, and a pair of surprised eyes looked at each other; some stunned black wizards immediately reacted.
As it turns out, Gray Saar's "honorable guest" is this ...
On both sides of the banquet hall, all the nobles and wealthy businessmen who were visiting were listed on both sides of the gate, leaving a road in the center; the dark-haired wizard among the crowd also glanced at the main gate, and the eyes were meaningful.
The door opened slowly, and an elderly man with gray hair and beard looked at the guests expressionlessly; a black robe with gold buckles and a gold-threaded cane on the left hand made the old man's majesty manifest.
Under the focus of everyone's eyes, the old man accompanied a handsome young man who helped him into the banquet hall; and at the other end of the hall, the imperial wizard advisor, the kind Al Master Bird Tarot has been waiting here early.
For the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Loren only has a little memory of Yuqian Cabinet.
"... The former Chancellor of the Treasury Siscott Zahn, family history can be traced back to the ancient kingdom of Saklan, one of the strongest of the" old conservative nobles ", it is very difficult ... East Sackland ’s motion failed, but it was also huge ... "
After a moment of contemplation, Loren understood the intention of the college to invite him:
First of all, the other party is the Minister of Finance of the Empire. As the Royal Wizard College attached to the royal family, most of the sponsorship and resources need the help and support of the other party. Naturally, it is impossible to take the initiative to commit evil with such a cabinet minister holding financial power;
What's more, behind this Siscott Charne, there is not only one Charne family, but also the "old-fashioned noble" forces of the entire emperor; it is also another important source of funding for the wizards.
Therefore, in the view of the "pragmatic" academy, it is almost necessary to win each other ... Especially in a "city of faith" that is completely controlled by the Holy Cross Church in Goloven, the wizard without allies can not maintain his own existence.
The old man, who was full of fear, longing and envious eyes, seemed to know his intention today, deliberately slowing down his footsteps and enjoying the awe of the people around him.
On the stage, Master Albert Tarot seemed to feel no slack at all. He still stood there kindly, waiting for the powerful old man to walk towards himself.
This is the authority, this is the majesty ... At the same time, the minister of the former cabinet, Siscott Zahn, the leader of the old nobles, can be so arrogant, and there will be no daring to blame.
At the moment Siscott Zahn walked under the chandelier in the banquet hall, he suddenly stopped.
The young man who helped him didn't notice it, and pulled the old man's sleeve; only then did Siscott stand motionless, almost putting all his weight on the cane.
The guests around didn't respond at all, only that the old man was showing his dignity; Alberd on the stage still kept a kind smile and waited patiently.
No ... the black-haired wizard frowned slightly, which was definitely not the case.
Across the crowd, the squinted black pupils stared at each other-the cold sweat on the forehead, the slightly trembling right arm, the twitching lip corners, and the pair of pupils that kept shrinking ...
Was his disdainful and arrogant expression just pretending to be a cover-up?
At the next moment, the arrogant old man suddenly stunned and suddenly coughed violently!
For only half a second, Loren subconsciously grabbed the little wizard's hand and hugged her behind him.
"puff--!"
Before everyone knew what was going on, the old man who vomited blood shuddered and fell to the ground in consternation of the young man who helped him.
The delicate cane also fell into the pool of blood.
The young man who was sprayed with countless salty liquids stood tremblingly, staring at the figure that had fallen to the ground, his eyes gray.
"Ah ah ah--!!!!"
In the scream, the entire banquet hall was in chaos; the well-dressed nobles and wealthy merchants immediately lost their original elegance, shouting in panic, and many people wanted to take the opportunity to take the banquet The hall slipped away, but they squeezed each other, shoving each other, screaming one after another!
"be quiet--!"
The gentle Albert Master standing in front of the stage suddenly shouted, "From now on ~ EbookFREE.me ~ No one is allowed to leave the banquet hall!"
No guest ignored the imperial wizard advisor, but the wizards in the banquet hall had taken the initiative to maintain order. One after another, the "fireflies" made the entire hall's flux of light, forming a human wall in the center and at the gate Blocked the chaotic guests.
Alber, who had a serious expression, stepped forward and pushed away the young man who was already in a trance, crouching beside the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
After a moment, the sighing former wizard counselor slowly stood up; the young man behind him quickly stepped forward: "How is he, grandma, grandfather, grandfather, please tell me how he is?"
Albold's face flashed a little hesitation, but then he spoke slowly:
"Dear Sir Siscott Zahn, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, your grandfather ...
Has been honored by the arms of the Holy Cross-! "
