Chapter 92: Meet Again (Part 1)
[Lei Ben, you guys are amazing, you still guessed it... Essence is sent, plus additional rewards! Also, there are too few recommended tickets, Laoyue asks everyone for some tickets...]
The castle was very lively, and the beautiful ladies gathered together in twos and threes, discussing which perfume smells better, which clothes have new designs, and chatting non-stop.
On the other hand, the calm nobles mostly had some acquaintances who gathered together and chatted in a low voice.
On the dining table in the castle, there are a lot of fruits and drinks. Fruits are cut into pieces and placed in trays. The maids are constantly busy, delivering fruit trays or drinks to the hands of a nobleman.
Earl Serin was also chatting cordially with several middle-aged men.
Suddenly, a knight trotted to Count Selin's side and said something in a low voice, Count Selin clapped his hands vigorously, the hall soon became quiet, and Count Selin said loudly: "Everyone, everyone. , Today's banquet is to celebrate Wilson Merlin, who has become a baron in my Pogarth city-state, and now Baron Merlin has come."
As soon as the words fell, Merlin and Avril entered the hall under the guidance of the maid.
In an instant, countless eyes were focused on Merlin and Avril. Merlin had an elegant temperament since he became a spellcaster, while Avril was naturally beautiful and could become the focus of everyone anywhere.
Therefore, Merlin and Avril came in together, which naturally brightened the eyes of many nobles.
"Lord Count, this is my fiancee Avril!"
Merlin brought Avril to the front of Earl Salin and introduced him to Earl Salin.
Earl Selin just nodded slightly, then pointed to a middle-aged man in a black coat beside him, and introduced to Merlin: "Baron Merlin, this is Viscount Raphael!"
The person who can stand up and have an intimate conversation with Earl Selin is naturally not an ordinary person. A viscount, second only to the title of earl, must be someone who holds real power in the entire Pugas city-state.
Earl Sailin introduced these people to Merlin, and he was also helping Merlin to truly integrate into the aristocratic circle of Pugas City.
"This is Viscount Thred."
"This is Viscount Leslie."
...
Earl Serin introduced five or six nobles, all of whom were viscounts. Merlin also knew that these people were the core figures of the entire Pugas City. Friendship with them was also very beneficial to the Wilson family.
So, Merlin smiled and saluted one by one.
These viscounts did not dare to be too big. With the solemn introduction of Count Sailin, and the events in Count Sailin's castle, although the blockade was very strict, some news was leaked out.
Therefore, even though Merlin was only a baron, none of the viscounts dared to despise him, and they all competed to make a good impression on Merlin, the mysterious and powerful spellcaster.
Merlin was a little uncomfortable with these tedious interactions. After chatting with everyone for a while, he walked aside and ate some fruit.
Compared to Merlin's incompatibility with this kind of scene, Avril had to do a lot better. Avril was very nervous before, but she grew up in a noble family after all. When she was in Blackwater City, she also attended some formal banquets like this. .
Now Avril was pulled aside by some noble ladies and ladies,
Like the stars holding the moon, she kept asking questions, and from time to time she would let out sweet laughter. It seemed that she should be very happy.
Merlin squinted slightly, and glanced around in the hall, but did not find the figure of the black-robed old man. Since Merlin visited the black-robed old man once a few days ago, there has been no news of the black-robed old man.
"Baron Merlin, what are you looking for?"
Earl Serin seemed to have drank some wine and his face was flushed, so he also stepped aside and sobered up first.
"It's nothing, I just didn't see Mage Hill, I was a little worried."
Merlin said casually.
"Mage Hill?"
Earl Sailin shook his head slightly, and said helplessly: "I sent someone to invite Mage Hill yesterday, but his maid said Mage Hill was recuperating and no one was there."
The old man in black robe has a somewhat arrogant personality. Although he is only a wandering mage, Merlin can feel the arrogance in the old man in black robe. For other people who are not spellcasters, the old man in black robe has never had a good face.
For a banquet like this, let alone the old man in black robe is injured and is still recuperating, even if it is good, the old man in black robe will probably not come to participate.
"Father, Baron Merlin!"
Commander Cook also came to the side at some point, and beside him, there was a noble looking bloated and fat.
This fat aristocrat has small eyes, but occasionally there is a glimmer of light, just like those shrewd little businessmen.
Commander Cook pointed his finger at the fat nobleman and introduced to Merlin: "Baron Merlin, this is Baron Warren, his territory is the town of Ley River, and there is only one river across from Consin Town, the territory of Baron Merlin. "
The fat Baron Warren, with a smile on his face, took off his top hat and gave Merlin a slight salute, then said with a smile: "Baron Merlin, your territory and mine are adjacent to each other. If there is any problem in Baron Merlin's territory in the future, you need help. , just say it directly, I will do my best to help.”
Baron Valen also knew that Merlin was currently the most valued person by Earl Selin, not to mention that the territories between them were adjacent, so it was very necessary to have a good relationship with Merlin.
"Baron Warren is very polite..."
Merlin reluctantly showed a smile and returned the salute to Baron Warren, but when he saw the female companion next to Baron Warren, he was suddenly stunned.
"His Royal Highness, why are you here?"
Merlin was a little stunned. The female companion who was standing beside Warren at this time was actually the royal princess Shellis he met on the way. However, at that time, Princess Shellis, although she fled in embarrassment, still brought her with her. With the pride of the royal princess, and finally parted ways with the old Wilson's motorcade.
I didn't expect to meet Princess Shellis under such circumstances. No wonder Merlin felt familiar with a back figure outside the castle just now. It must be Princess Shellis.
"Oh? Shirley, so you know Baron Merlin?"
A strange look flashed in Baron Warren's eyes, but he recovered quickly. He smiled and said to Merlin: "Baron Merlin, there is no princess right now, and in a little while, Shirley will become a baroness. It's gone!"
After all, Baron Warren also put his arms around Princess Shirley, looking very intimate.
Merlin looked at Princess Shellis, who kept his head down and bit his lip, his face ugly. Merlin knew in his heart that this once noble princess, who lived in a foreign country, was going to marry a mere baron, and he would definitely not feel good, especially in front of Merlin, an "old friend", it was even more embarrassing.
So Merlin nodded to Baron Warren, and then followed Earl Selin towards some other nobles in the hall.
