Chapter 4: Underground Dance

"Please don't get excited. We are an adventure team from the Adventure Association. The martial artist with a resolute face rolled his eyes at Yapi, "We received a commission to find a rich man's old house ten years ago and bring out his family's relics. . "

"Well, this is like a human saying, don't move, I will report to the adults."

The soldier leading the team immediately reported the incident to Field.

"It's so awkward." Yapi muttered unhappily.

"Okay, just say a few words." The martial artist shook his head.

"My lord said that I want to see you, come with me." After a while, the soldier came over and waved to them.

"Huh? You're not going to do anything weird..."

The two girls were inevitably scared. Everyone looked at each other, angry and nervous. After all, the group of people in front of them didn't look like good people.

Lydia dawdled and was taken to a warm camp. Lydia noticed the noble young man in luxurious robes at first sight. He had a faint smile on his lips and was wiping a long sword, which gave people an elusive feeling.

His age seems to be about the same as mine, right?

"Hello, my lord."

Everyone in the adventure team said hello to Field.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking some questions." Field motioned them to sit down and said bluntly, "What's the big news recently?"

"No, if we want to talk about big news, the Queen encourages adventurers to clear out the rotting corpses. By the way, I heard that an organization called the Sisterhood of Night Owls suddenly became active." The martial artist said, peeking in fear. He glanced at Field and saw that he had no reaction, so he boldly said, "They continue to attack and kill nobles, saying they want to overthrow the tyranny of the Griffin Empire."

"Oh? Interesting." Field raised his eyelids, "Do you have any specific information?"

"Not yet. They are very mysterious. I only know that they are extremely powerful."

After pondering for a moment, Field thought to himself: Could it be that the Griffin Queen took the script written by Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty? Why are internal and external troubles so serious? Could it be that she also has a defeat animation?

Field made a decision: From now on, I have to strengthen the security force, and then learn more combat skills. I don't want to be overthrown.

"Thank you for your help. You can rest here for the night. I will provide food and water." Nodding kindly to everyone, Field reminded, "The carrion is very dangerous. I advise you to be fully prepared or have more people." , let’s explore again.”

"Uh-huh."

As soon as they left Field's sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ I always feel like I'm being targeted by a monster, and I feel like I'm going to be eaten."

"Yeah, he must have killed a lot of people."

"I think he is very nice." Lidya lowered the brim of her hat.

"Our little Lidya, don't you imagine that you can be a noble lady~" the female mage teased.

"No!"

After bidding farewell to the adventure team, Field spent two days arriving in Maple Leaf City.

After sending the letter to Shirley and the relics of the Survey Corps, Field came to Simon's manor. His idea was to purchase a batch of giant wolves to form Ashina's divinely chosen guard, and the second was to find some treasures.

But now, he looked at the eye-catching green dot mark underneath Maple Leaf Manor and fell into deep thought.

"Will there be uncontracted chosen ones who will participate in the ball? Or...as commodities?"

Different from the past, today's Maple Leaf Manor is extremely low-key. Field did not encounter a maid in cool clothes. He was greeted by a butler.

It was the first time that Field met the butler of Maple Leaf Manor, a gentle but personable elderly gentleman.

"Dear Mr. Field, I presume it is your first time attending Maple Leaf Collar's unique ball?"

"That's right, any nobleman with wisdom and ambition will not miss the opportunity to broaden his horizons." Field did not shy away. Now he is accustomed to the communication between nobles, "Take me to meet old friends."

To put it simply, one of the polite exchanges between nobles is to show their nobility in a roundabout way, while avoiding the problem itself.

If you have never tasted high-end food, just say: It is not made by the royal chef, it is not authentic and authentic, and I don’t bother to eat it.

For imperial nobles, it is easier to gain respect from each other by showing off than by being honest.

"Aw~ That maple leaf collar will not disappoint you. I believe that after playing it, you will not only broaden your horizons, but also maybe a certain beauty... Hum, that beauty may be someone's fiancée. Mother-in-law, even the Chosen One, everything here is full of fantasy and unknown.”

The butler blinked his left eye at Field, saying nothing.

"I'm already looking forward to it."

A soft smile formed on Field's lips, but he didn't care in his heart.

The tone and scene of their conversation were like those of graceful poets, but the content was deeply sinful.

"Beast."

When Field passed by a gardener sweeping the floor, he clearly heard the gardener curse secretly.

"Um?"

With a heartbeat, Field looked at the gardener carefully. He was unremarkable. The only striking thing about him was that he was wearing a turban on his head.

"Pink cat head? This guy isn't here to die again, is he? I hope it's an illusion."

He immediately thought of an old friend who owed him 3 million gold coins. Field shook his head and silently prayed in his heart not to let her be so stupid, otherwise he would have saved her in vain.

Follow the butler to Simon, who is counting the accounts.

"Look who's here, my savior!" Simon threw away the account book eagerly, laughed exaggeratedly, and greeted Field, "Did you bring the joy pills? I can't wait, I swear, those cute beans will shine tonight."

"Of course I did, I'm still counting on them to exchange for giant wolves."

"Yes, yes."

After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Simon mysteriously took out a letter, a set of black clothes and a mask.

"This outfit is a one-time enchanted prop, produced by the Chosen One, please rest assured of the quality! After wearing it, others will not be able to sense your identity. Of course, you can only wear a mask and attend without clothes, many people do so. To be wilder, you can attend "without reservation", which can also win everyone's favor, and the wildest person will be selected every year."

Field took the clothes nervously. Attending the underground dance party was a bit beyond his bottom line.

After taking two deep breaths, Field calmed down. He was very curious about what the most rotten side of Maple Leaf Territory looked like.

"This magic letter records the specific address of the ball and also represents the qualification for admission. The ball is not only fun, but also has auctions and black markets. You can buy and sell anything, including the giant wolf you want. Please cherish this opportunity and enjoy it. Not all nobles are eligible to participate."

"I will."
