Chapter 880: Participation
Du Dian suddenly thought that many years ago, when he was a scavenger, he participated in a mid-to-low-end noble banquet held by the Mellon Consortium as a scavenger. He was also scolded when he entered the door. I could only swallow my anger and retreat to the side, time has passed, I didn't expect to see the same scene again after so many years.
The difference is that he is no longer the scavenger he was at the mercy of others.
However, the same thing is that he has changed, but the world has not changed.
"Which family are you from?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a stalwart figure. He was dressed in gorgeous and elegant clothes, and he was very graceful at first glance. His square face and thick eyebrows were a bit majestic. Seeing that Du Dian didn't respond, he frowned slightly, and once again Open your mouth and say.
Du Dian came back to his senses, glanced at him quietly, didn't say anything, and didn't violently kill people. He just took Hai Lisha's little hand, turned around and walked into the main hall calmly.
"You..." The middle-aged man was sullen. He didn't expect that he would be ignored by a junior. He wanted to reprimand him, but Du Dian had already turned around and left. , He snorted coldly angrily, and said: "Some people nowadays are getting worse and worse, and they have no respect for their elders!"
"What Lord Vero said is that the younger generation is becoming more and more impolite, sir, please don't be angry with these juniors, it's not worth it." Someone beside him persuaded.
"Not bad, let's get in."
"The banquet is about to begin."
Several other people immediately changed the subject, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
Vero's cold face eased a little, but he secretly remembered Du Dian's face in his heart, embarrassing himself in public, and when he found out his identity, it was necessary to give him some color, it is best to let him His parents sent him to the door in person to apologize!
Thinking of this, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said with a light smile, "Everyone, please, I wonder if Lord Rose is here."
"This main hall is really big, as expected of Lord Rose's home." The person next to him exclaimed.
Several people went in together, and were quickly attracted by the magnificence of the main hall, as if nothing had happened before.
After Du Dian entered the main hall, he took two sips of champagne from the table. It tasted very good. Then he took some exquisite snacks and sat down in the rest area next to him. Here is a sofa, and several sets of sofas surround a table. Like a teapot surrounded by several small coffee tables, there are very few people sitting in this rest area, only seven or eight, all young people, who seem to have been brought to play by their parents.
But their fathers were busy making friends at the banquet. This kind of noble banquet itself is a place for communication, which can not only expand contacts but also increase fame. For nobles, besides resources, the most important thing is face. After getting the invitation, it can at least be said that he participated in the banquet held by Lord Rose, and told others from the side that he has a very close relationship with Lord Rose.
If someone wants to call their attention, maybe they have to weigh the rose lord behind them.
Du Dian took the snacks, found an empty table and started eating. While eating, he looked at the three or four groups of noble lords in the magnificent hall. He lingered on one of them from the corner of his eye, and quickly moved away, continuing to be bored. eating his snacks.
"Hi, hello, is it convenient for me to sit here?" A handsome voice came from the side.
Du Dian glanced up, he was a blond young man in his early twenties, very young, with a bright smile.
"It's inconvenient." Du Dian glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, and refused lightly.
The young man choked for a moment and was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Du Dian to answer this way. Even if most people don't want to, they will at least find a reason. For example, someone here will come over, but Du Dian doesn't even bother to find a reason. Yes it is!
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but the young man still showed a polite smile, and said, "This place is vacant, so I'll just sit and go." After speaking, he pulled out the chair and sat down.
But her gaze quickly turned to Hai Lisha next to her, her eyes were slightly bright. Although Hai Lisha was wearing a veil, the thin veil couldn't hide the outline of her cheeks, and she was a very beautiful woman at a glance.
And this hazy feeling makes people more curious and want to explore.
"Is this your female companion?" The young man took a look, turned his head and asked Du Dian, with a hint of hope in his eyes, hoping that Du Dian would answer no, if it was just a younger sister or older sister, he might have hope.
When Du Dian heard his words, the flatness on his face suddenly disappeared, leaving only coldness, and said: "Get out!"
The young man was dumbfounded, and looked at Du Dian like a ghost, just asking, even if it's your female companion, he wouldn't be so angry, right? The kind smile on his face disappeared quickly, and he frowned: "I'm just asking, if you offend me, you can tell me, there's no need..."
"I said, get out!" Du Dian turned his head and looked directly at him.
The young man's face was flushed with anger, and a burst of anger rushed straight from his chest to his forehead, but when he was stared at by Du Dian, he suddenly felt a coolness coming, and the pores of his body tightened. He couldn't tell what it felt like, but in his heart Fear, and very real fear!
His face changed for a while, he gritted his teeth and stood up, "Which lord's family do you belong to?"
"Get out!" Du Dian didn't even bother to take another look.
The young man clenched his fists, stared at Du Dian fiercely, turned around and left, even if Du Dian didn't say anything, he could still find out, after all, it was not difficult.
The people at the other tables nearby had already noticed the commotion here, and when they saw the young man leaving in a hurry, they began to discuss in a low voice.
From the whispers of these people, Du Dian also knew the identity of the young man. He was the youngest son of a well-known noble lord. After hearing a few words, he was too lazy to listen. It's a hassle, and it's solved easily, so don't worry about it at all.
After sitting in Du Dian for about half an hour, the main hall door slowly closed and the banquet officially started.
At this time, Du Dian saw the famous Rose Lord, a woman in her early thirties, with an elegant and noble temperament, and a bit of glamor and coquettishness, which made people easily have a primitive desire to conquer.
Beside the rose lord, he was accompanied by two guards, wearing low-key armor, but the heat source fluctuations in his body were not covered up in the slightest, they were all masters!
Du Dian stared slightly, and noticed at the same time that the two guards also glanced at him. After seeing Du Dian's appearance, they turned their eyes away and did not pay any more attention.
Du Dian knew the reason why they came here. All the noble lords in the main hall only brought their children and family members, and did not bring guards, let alone entered the venue with weapons. This is a banquet, not a meeting hall. Whoever brings guards If you come in, you will not give Lord Rose face, and you will look very second, but there are still three or four lords who brought their guards in. These guards are all pioneer-level masters, and they are not conspicuous among the crowd.
But looking through the heat source, they can be seen at a glance. In the eyes of the two masters, Du Dian is obviously also a guard brought in by a certain nobleman.
After a series of polite greetings, Lord Rose said a few things one after another, but it had nothing to do with the ice worm and the abyss, but about the construction of the capital and the construction of a new city. Building a new city requires the efforts of many noble lords, and It is also beneficial to contribute. After the new city is built, these nobles who contribute can give priority to the most prosperous areas in the city. Once they occupy a good area and open shops, they will bring a steady stream of wealth to these nobles.
Du Dian heard the rose lord talk about the construction of the new city in detail, and seemed to have no intention of mentioning anything else, so he couldn't help frowning. Could it be that the rumors Losick heard before were just rumors?
His eyes flickered, he sat quietly, eating his own snacks, he didn't leave on the spot, since he came, he was not in a hurry to leave right away.
Under the melodious music and the singing of several invited poets, the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious. In the blink of an eye, at night, Losik suddenly found Du Dian and whispered: "Mr. Participate?"
Du Dian raised his eyebrows, "How to participate?"
Losik knew what Du Dian meant when he saw Du Dian's expression, and said in a low voice: "If you want to participate, I can ask for a place from Lord Rose. This time, the construction of the new city is to choose the places to participate, but it is not stated clearly. However, the meaning of Lord Rose is obvious, if those who have no spare money and resources can leave, you can see that many lords have withdrawn from the banquet, and the ones left now are all those who want to participate."
Du Dian looked up at him, saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and looked at Lord Rose, who was chatting and laughing with several noble lords in the distance, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, but I want to hear what to say about this matter. "
Losik heaved a sigh of relief, but on the surface he said calmly: "That's natural, since Mr. Du agrees, when the banquet is about to end, Lord Rose will probably bring this matter up for discussion. Mr. Du will know what's going on at that time, and I don't know now, but I got news from other sources. If you want to participate, you may have to send people above the pioneer level to be eligible to participate, so if Mr. Du wants to participate, I would like you to represent me in the..."
Du Dian knew his thoughts as soon as he heard it, and said: "You don't have to worry about this. If things are similar to what I think, I won't regret it. Let's talk about it then."
Losik glanced at him, nodded, turned and left, and started chatting with the crowd again.
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet was coming to an end, and the remaining people in the main hall were less than one-third of the previous ones. Du Dian glanced and saw that the person who told him to make way was also here.
