Volume 3: The Ravager Chapter 176: The Gathering

"What's fair and unfair, just be happy." Melshaya poked her head with her finger and said, "You are too honest, as my father said, just grab whatever you like. There is nothing in this world that money and power can't buy, well, except for great artists like Master Teza."

Jenny sighed and shook her head slowly. Although she and Melshaya were childhood playmates and had similar interests in many ways, there were some things that she still believed in her own beliefs.

"I'll go back first." Melshaya waved goodbye without saying much.

Jenny nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said, "You just said you might see him? Then... can you bring me a letter to him?"

Melshaya raised her hand to touch her face, and said with a giggle, "Miss Ben can't be a messenger. What do you want to say, you can just say it yourself in the future. Weren't you brave before?"

After he finished speaking, he blinked and turned to leave.

...

...

Yard Town, Lane Castle.

A carriage drove into the castle, the door was pushed open, Du Di'an got out of the car, followed the guidance of the servant, and entered the castle.

At this moment, it is dusk, and the smoke is rising from the back of Lane's Castle, and dinner is being prepared.

In the hall of the old castle, the servants stood respectfully on both sides. Although the Lane family has fallen, the etiquette that should be taken during meals is still maintained. In the spacious dining room at the back of the hall, the children and grandsons of the old patriarch Fulin all arrived early, sitting in the dining room busy with each other, occasionally chatting with each other.

Hughton was talking to his sister when he suddenly saw Du Di'an walking outside, startled for a moment, and quickly got up to meet him, saying, "Hello, Mr. Du."

Du Dian shook his hand briefly and said, "I came by coincidence."

Houghton laughed and said, "Yeah, Mr. Du hasn't eaten yet, how about having a meal together?"

Du Di'an didn't refuse, and said with a smile: "Then please add another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Chopsticks?" Houghton was stunned, but he nodded with a smile without asking more.

Du Dian saw his doubtful reaction when he paused, and knew that he was right, touched his nose, entered the restaurant, and smelled Old Patriarch Fulin in the office on the second floor, and Barton, Kreun, and Joseph also Waiting in the restaurant, sitting in a corner and being ignored.

Seeing Du Di'an entering the restaurant, the three of them were greatly surprised and immediately greeted them.

Du Dian smiled slightly and nodded to the three.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a pale beard next to him asked Houghton, "Who is this?"

Houghton quickly introduced: "This is the hunter hired by grandpa."

"Hunter?" The middle-aged man was startled, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and soon a smile appeared on his face, he stepped forward and shook hands and said, "Hello, hello, I'm Flynn Lane's second son, Jike."

Du Di'an shook it lightly and said, "Hello."

Seeing this, other people sitting in the restaurant also stepped forward to say hello to Du Dian, while the third generation of Hughton stood by with their hands down, full of curiosity, and wanted to come forward to say hello, but took into account As a courtesy, I just nodded and called Mr. Du.

"Mr. Du is so young, which consortium did he belong to before?" The previous Jike said with a smile.

"The Mellon Consortium."

"Melon?" Jike came to his senses, not surprised, and smiled: "My father recently founded a new consortium, called the New World Consortium, which is really gratifying to be able to win over a young and promising hunter like you. "

Du Di'an smiled slightly. Although he said that his face was full of joy, when Mr. Fulin founded the consortium, most of these children tried their best to stop them. Fortunately, although Fulin was old, he was still able to restrain them.

After a while, the old patriarch Fulin came to the restaurant. After seeing Du Dian from a distance, he was not surprised. With a smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Du is really early."

"The hunters who come early have birds to eat." Du Di'an got up and said with a smile.

The old patriarch Fulin waved his hand and motioned everyone to sit down. He was supported by the middle-aged maid.

He came to the patriarch's seat and sat down, and said to everyone: "All of you take your seats, Mr. Du, you sit next to me."

As soon as these words came out, Jike and everyone else were shocked, but they didn't expect the old patriarch to value Du Dian so much.

Du Dian nodded slightly and sat down according to the words.

And it happened to be Jike who was sitting in his position originally. The smile on his face was a little stiff, but he squeezed out a smile and moved back a position.

"Let's have dinner." Old Patriarch Fulin instructed the middle-aged maid next to him.

The middle-aged maid nodded, turned to greet a maid, and passed on the message.

After a while, the servants brought the dishes to the table one after another.

The old patriarch Fulin smiled at Du Dian: "I don't know that Mr. Du is here today. The dinner is a little rough, please take it slow."

"Save and get rich." Du Di'an replied with a smile.

The lights were shining, and the dinner table looked happy. After half of the meal, the old patriarch Fulin wiped his mouth with a towel and said, "Mr. Du, our Ryan family has established a new consortium, and tomorrow night is the opening ceremony of the consortium. , Many nobles who used to know each other will come to congratulate, by the way, let's take a look at the situation of our consortium, you are the only hunter of our consortium at present, I hope you can attend."

Du Dian nodded and said, "No problem."

"Grandpa, can I go too?" Hutton shouted at the end of the table.

The old patriarch Fulin looked up at him and said, "You are not old enough, so put your mind on your studies. When you get the honorary certificate of knight, it will be a blessing to our family."

Hutton's face was ashen, and he snorted coldly.

After dinner, the old patriarch Fulin greeted Du Dian to enter the study to discuss things.

"The nobles who will be there tomorrow are all in a similar situation as the Lane family, and they are relatively declining nobles." After the old patriarch Fulin and other middle-aged maids left, they said to Du Di'an straight to the point: "Some of them came to participate because of the courtesy. Some want to see the situation of our consortium, and want to join in and share the benefits, in any case, this is the first time our consortium has appeared, and I hope to have a good impression."

Du Di'an nodded and said: "It's not just them who are paying attention to this party. Your entire noble circle should look sideways."

"That's right." The old patriarch Fulin nodded deeply, seeing Du Di'an, he felt that he was saving effort, and at the same time, he secretly looked at the young man more, and said, "There used to be a lot of declining nobles who wanted to create a consortium. To attract other fallen nobles to join the group, to combine the industrial chains of each family, but this type of fallen nobles gather together, after all, it is a piece of loose sand, and it is crushed by other financial groups a little, and it is broken."

"Over time, few fallen nobles are willing to set up a consortium. After all, the cost of applying for a consortium is not low. Now our Ryan family is desperate, and other families should investigate clearly. Anyway, since we have gone this way, I hope You can have a good start, so I plan to declare to the public that you are an intermediate hunter, in this way, it can improve the background of our consortium to some extent."

Du Dian pondered a little, nodded and said, "Okay."

"In the future, we are likely to be suppressed by the Mellon consortium." Old Patriarch Fulin sighed: "It will all be up to you then. Our Ryan family can't stand the toss, nor can we stop this giant sword."

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "When our funds accumulate to the point where we can rent the channel outside the wall, our wealth will roll faster than a snowball."

The old patriarch Fulin smiled bitterly. Although he didn't know where Du Di'an got his confidence stronger than that of a senior hunter, he couldn't refute anything. Now he can only live with prayers.

"Is there an alchemist behind some big nobles?" Du Dian asked suddenly.

The old patriarch Fulin was stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and said, "Yes, the wealth created by an alchemist is much more than that of a hunter."

Du Di'an nodded. When he saw various alchemy materials in the square of the Dark Holy See, he had some guesses. After all, these rare materials are difficult to obtain privately, and can only rely on the various mining areas controlled by nobles. . (To be continued)).
