Chapter 80, Dinner at the City Hall (Part 2)

Facing the envious and jealous eyes of all the men present, Ryan seemed to think for a while, then shook his head slightly, he stretched out his hand to hold Veronica in his arms, and then said with a smile: "I have my female companion, Agnie Ms. Da, I have an appointment with her tomorrow night, so I'm sorry."

"That's... very regrettable~" Aneda laughed a few times: "At any time, Mr. Lane, you are welcome to be a guest at the Beauty Society, and I also want to see the difference between the warriors in the north and the men in the south. "

Count this man as sensible! The men in the venue saw that Ryan refused. On the one hand, they felt that Ryan was sensible, and on the other hand, they felt that Ryan had a problem with his brain. How could this person refuse the personal invitation of the president of the Aesthetic Society?

This is an opportunity that many men can't get by spending a lot of money?

After seeing people around, Schultz found a secluded place and signaled him to have a private chat with Ryan. Seeing this, Veronica took her apprentice to find a place outside to wait.

A secluded balcony.

"It's hard to imagine that you rejected Aneda's invitation." The Grand Duke of Marienburg stood beside Ryan with a smile, with a strange light in his eyes: "But I'm not surprised, you know, we all hate this It's always disgusting to spread hedonism, but I can't say anything when half of the parliament is overwhelmed by her."

"Her body always has a rancid smell, just like..." Ryan compared a symbol in the air: "That's a believer."

"Are you sure?" Schultz's eyes widened slightly.

"You know what I am, and you know I'm the most sensitive to that kind of breath." Ryan spread his hands.

"Then I'm going to ask, is there any mission for you to come to this world?" Schultz whispered, "The Tribunal? The State Church? The Defense Force? The Navy? Or the Astartes? Look at your logo, Are you supposed to be an Astartes?"

"Just because I am His son." Ryan also replied in a low voice.

Schultz jumped up like an electric shock in an instant, and his pupils were set to the largest in an instant. The Grand Duke of Marienburg looked at Ryan carefully with his eyes wide open. After watching for a long time, he shook his head frantically: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!!! "

"Nothing is impossible." Ryan stretched out his hand, and a golden double-headed eagle engraved appeared in the center of the palm, which was left to him by the emperor and was his most powerful proof of identity.

Seeing the mark with infinite power, Schultz no longer doubted that he would not have appeared here if it were not for the Emperor's will, so he asked carefully: "Then who are you..."

"neither.

"

"Impossible, there are only twenty Primarchs!"

"Can't He make something new?"

Schultz's surprise became more and more serious. The Grand Duke of Marienburg saw sweat on his forehead. He finally stretched out his hand and silently compared a "twenty one".

Ryan nodded now.

"I understand, great son of God, do whatever you want, and I will support you." Schultz's face showed almost neurotic fanaticism and admiration, and the Grand Duke looked at Ryan. As if trying to eat him: "Relax, the House of Lords is under my control."

"For Your Majesty! For Holy Terra!"

"For father!"

Fifteen minutes later, Ryan and Schultz came out with smiles on their faces after the secret meeting, and then shook hands and signaled: "Ryan, there are many other interesting and delicious things here, you can go around and have a look, I There is something else."

"Okay." Ryan bid farewell to the Grand Duke of Marienburg and came out, seeing Veronica talking to a tall witcher, seeing Ryan coming, Veronica came over with a smile and took Ryan's arm: "Lian , Vice President Jacob is here."

The visitor was nearly two meters tall, wearing a long hood and a wide-brimmed hat, and his face was covered with scars. The muscular witcher said hello to Ryan: "Hi Ryan, I also came here to track Belter. "

Jacob was an old-fashioned witch hunt master a period earlier than Belter. He was quite old, and in recent years he had given fewer missions.

"Is the problem so serious?" Ryan saw the vice presidents of the Demon Hunters Guild appear, and the man's face became very serious. He motioned for several people to move towards a small room.

Generally, in such a large-scale banquet, the organizer will provide a large number of small rooms. These small rooms have various uses...negotiating things is also one of them. There was a "Do Not Disturb" sign, and a strange sound came from inside.

In the end, the four of them could only find a corner of the banquet. The tall and tall Jacob found a place to sit down, and then unceremoniously grabbed something with his hands and ate it. High-end wine was like drinking juice in the hands of a witcher. Same, cup after cup.

Many nobles and businessmen frowned when they saw Jacob attending the banquet like this, but the protagonist Ryan and his female companion were chatting with Jacob, so they couldn't say anything, and the witcher The master was full of blood and fierceness, and he didn't look easy to mess with.

The banquet was originally a medium. The nobles and merchants in the world's largest trade center needed a reason to bring everyone together. Before exchanging and whispering, maybe a new trading partner would be born, or a sum worth several hundred The transaction intention of thousands of gold coins is thus completed.

Ryan brought red wine and poured it on Veronica and her female apprentice. Catherine's little face was full of excitement. The female apprentice was very, very happy that she had the opportunity to participate in such a large banquet, and Veronica was Gently arranging the hem of her skirt, and at the same time telling her little apprentice not to lose her composure, she just quietly listened to Ryan and Jacob's communication, looking like a beautiful vase, just the gleam in her eyes It shows that she is thinking a lot, she just doesn't talk.

This is very interesting, Ryan thought Teresa was always eager to show when she attended the banquet, but Veronica was more silent, and when the banquet was over, Veronica always gained more, thinking of Here, he suddenly understood Teresa's series of performances during the journey, because there was a witch with no background who surpassed him in many ways, the pressure was really great, and Teresa's behavior style was so unbelievable. Change for it.

The two sides exchanged existing information.

"I have a very important piece of information to tell you, Ryan. During Belt's defection, he seems to have converted." The voice of the vice president of the witcher was hoarse: "We all know that Belt was a Those who believe in the Lord of the Plague."

"But from the signs I got, it seems that Belter has converted. He has turned to believe in the blood god. I don't know why he converted, but this may be good news for us...or it may be bad news. information."

"It's good news!" Ryan touched his chin: "This means that Belter has attracted the disgust of the Lord of Plague, and at least one force will not help him."

Yes, the four gods of chaos are not as monolithic as many people think. On the contrary, the infighting and war between the four gods of chaos are endless. Their invasion of the main material world is more like their fun and small snacks outside the dinner .

In the chaotic space of the subspace, the demons belonging to the four gods will engage in eternal bloody battles. The four gods hate each other. They will devote all their troops to a bloody battle for any piece of land or any tiny excuse. Since the demons will not really die, so The bloody battle will never stop.

Only in rare cases, the four gods of chaos will temporarily reach an agreement and send a small number of troops to invade the main material world together. Enlightened thinking completely eradicates the energy source of chaos, even so, the main attention of the four gods of chaos is still on the internal struggle in the world of chaos.

(Even under such circumstances, intelligent creatures in this world have to do their best to have a chance.)

Jacob drank heavily and ate meat. The vice president of the witcher came from the kingdom of Kislev at the northernmost tip of the continent. That country almost bordered the Chaos Wasteland. Every time Chaos invaded, this country was the first to suffer. Yes, but the homeland was rebuilt time and time again, and they were still united under the banner of the bear god Esun, fighting against chaos and fighting endlessly to the death.

"I asked Ms., and she told me that Belt is in Marienburg, and it is located in the closest place to Chaos in Marienburg." Ryan frowned. The prophecy of the fairy in the lake is indeed useful, but it is a bit vague specifically. Ryan still I plan to ask the Demon Hunter Master for advice. Jacob is already over a hundred years old, and his experience is far longer than his own.

The witcher master wiped the corners of his mouth, and the soup splashed everywhere. Many noble ladies subconsciously lifted the corners of their skirts, but Ryan remained unmoved. He motioned Jacob to continue.

"Indeed, as you said, Belter should indeed still be in Marienburg, because our news also shows that he is still in Marienburg." Jacob is really a bit old, he said When he came, he couldn't stop his mouth from occasionally having food flow from the corner of his mouth: "A demon hunter used internal divination to determine his location, but that demon hunter also paid a huge price."

Both prophecy and divination require an equivalent price. Among them, predicting chaotic creatures is the most dangerous. Many prophets and fortune-tellers can easily be blinded or corrupted by chaos in the process.

"For now, the three places are the most suspicious. The first is the arena. The arena in Marienburg is famous for being huge and full of everything. A large number of gladiators and various strange creatures are stranded in the arena, especially Bell. He is still a believer of the blood god, so it is not surprising that he would hide in the arena." The demon hunter coughed a few times, and first mentioned the first possible place.

"Secondly, Marienburg is densely populated and extremely crowded, but the city has countless underground tunnels and various dark passages connecting the outside. It is said that there are even huge residential areas and dark elves in the underground tunnels, Belt. It's also possible to hide in it."

"In the end... I always felt that there was something wrong with that woman." Jacob looked up, Ryan followed his gaze, and found Aneda, the president of the Beauty Association, who was having a good chat with several nobles.

"In this way, Veronica and I will go to investigate the Colosseum and the Beauty Society, and I will leave the underground tunnel to you, Vice President Jacob." Ryan thought about the division of labor, and his identity is more suitable Dealing with high society, demon hunters are more suitable to negotiate with commoners and guilds.

"Okay, I will go with my boys to find Belter's whereabouts." Jacob hesitated suddenly, and then whispered: "The action has to be quicker, Ryan, I understand that you have been dragged because of the war." But... it seems that some other demon hunter masters have also started to become weird..."

"I understand." Ryan could sense that a growing black shadow was approaching the continent.

Jacob left, this kind of big banquet itself does not welcome bloody demon hunters, Ryan was still sitting in the corner thinking, but an unexpected visitor interrupted him immediately: "Oh! Mr. Ryan! Can you be here? How lucky to meet you!"

It's the businessman Oliver who acted together before!

This businessman from the empire was full of jewels, his hands and body were covered with as many jewelry as possible, his whole body was shining, and Veronica pursed her lips and grinned.

"Haha~ Hello, Mr. Oliver, everything is going well?" Ryan smiled.

"What's going well? The goods are gone, and the guards are dead, but it's okay, I still saved my dog's life, hahahaha!" Oliver proudly showed off his magic ring and big belly: "This is? "

"I'm Veronica Bernadotte, from the Garland Council, and I'm Ryan's companion. Hello, Mr. Oliver, this is my apprentice." Seeing that it was Ryan's old friend, Veronica smiled sweetly , full of bright temperament.

"Oh oh oh! Hello, hello!" Oliver thought to himself, why did Ryan's side change?

However, this witch is not as arrogant as the sorceress before. Instead, she smiles sweetly and is full of courtesy and respect. Especially her appearance is very sweet, which makes people feel good.

Oliver then sat down and chatted with Ryan for a while. This upstart is very hot now. I don’t know how many benefits he can get in touch with. Oliver can be regarded as a big businessman in Nord, but he is just a small grasshopper in Marienburg. Why? The bouncing and jumping didn't make much noise. He was able to attend the banquet because the Grand Duke of Marienburg knew that he had an old relationship with Ryan, so he specially invited him.

During this process, Veronica still didn't say a word, she just smiled and said nothing while holding Ryan's arm. Oliver thought that this woman is not very good. It seems that she is just a beautiful vase, and Ryan's temporary bed partner. .

Thinking of this, Oliver's tone and expression could not help but contempt for this woman. Veronica felt it, but the woman didn't express it, she continued to smile, but her little apprentice glared at Oliver.

"By the way, Mr. Ryan, how about you meeting President Aneda earlier? She is really a beauty, right? She can be called the rose of Marienburg, the flower of the empire!" The topic quickly changed to the strange one. Oliver thought that this woman is a vase anyway, so he teased Ryan: "That's Aneda Klausner's invitation, it's hard to find money, and you don't agree?"

"Why do I have to agree?" Ryan picked up the wine glass, and the bright red liquid swirled in the goblet with the man's movements: "I have my girlfriend, and I'm not interested in that kind of carnival."

"Oh, you really are! There's no harm in trying it out! Mr. Ryan, just tell me, what does President Aneda look like? Say it rationally, neutrally, and objectively~" Oliver was heartbroken by Ryan's ignorance. It seems that attending the banquet of the Aesthetic Society at the invitation of Anida is a waste of money. He really doesn't understand why Ryan refuses.

"I admit that President Aneda's appearance is the most beautiful among all the women I have ever seen, not one of them... Uh!" Ryan was talking calmly, but suddenly there was a scorching pain from the Holy Grail engraving on his chest .

What followed was an annoyed voice in Lane's mind: "Lian, my champion, I'll give you one more chance, who is the most beautiful woman you've ever seen?"

wtf? ? ?

twenty one? nonexistent!
