Chapter 159: Banquet [Subscription Request]

Since Chen Xuan was no longer short of money, his enthusiasm for making money has cooled down a lot.

Mainly because the scale of Magtan City is too small, which limits his financial advantage.

With a few hundred thousand crowns on hand, he can have enough food and drink. It doesn't make sense to have more, after all, the good things he really wants can hardly be bought in the city.

In fact, the best and most practical material for the natives of Naroa is the magic tear.

But in the eyes of Chen Xuan, who has a treasure house, the magic tear can no longer arouse his desire for materials.

There is also a difference in cognition between the two worlds.

Therefore, this puts him in a very wonderful state.

It is similar to having no desires and no concept or awe of money.

Of course, this does not mean that he will completely give up the business of the White Rose Caravan.

Magtan City is only a corner of the Naroa continent after all.

Chen Xuan will not stay here forever. Sooner or later, he will go to the giant city, the imperial city or even the kingdom front!

So the accumulation of capital is still very important.

The developed White Rose Caravan can earn crowns for him continuously.

Realize the value circulation and material exchange between the two worlds.

As usual, Chen Xuan stood outside the caravan station and observed for a while. With a flick of his wrist, he took out an identity card carved from mithril from the storage compartment.

On the front is a cluster of beautifully carved white roses, and on the back are the words "First-level Manager of the Caravan" in common language.

This is the identity card representing the White Rose Caravan. It is not cheap to make. It is engraved with the soul brand information representing the identity. It was specially prepared by Ophelia before Chen Xuan asked Ophelia.

In this way, as long as he holds the identity card, he can enter the caravan station unimpeded and anytime, anywhere.

Currently, fixed employees and backbones in the caravan are issued similar identity cards.

It's just that different materials are used.

It is divided into four types: black iron, mountain copper, mithril, and dark gold.

The black iron identity card is worn by hired laborers in the station who are responsible for inventory handling and mule and horse riding.

The main products sold by the current caravan are relatively light, and there is not much demand for labor, so the laborers in the station mainly do some odd jobs. There are relatively few serious moving jobs, and there is no need to hire "coolie mules" to help. This is the difference between the White Rose and other caravans.

The contract guards, temporary workshops and craftsmen in the blacksmith shop are mountain copper identity cards.

As for the mithril identity cards, only three were issued in the entire caravan.

In addition to Chen Xuan, the holders of the other two mithril identity cards are the caravan managers recruited by Ophelia.

The contract system is still very advanced in some ways.

It can quickly establish basic trust and build a new management system.

This is also the key to the rapid formation of the White Rose Caravan.

The most precious dark gold identity card is held by Ophelia, representing her authority as the controller of the caravan.

Anyway, these measures are ultimately for outsiders to see.

In private, the half-elf lady can only remain humble in front of Chen Xuan.

Holding the mithril ID card, Chen Xuan walked into the camp openly.

The hired guards who were responsible for guarding the entrance of the camp just took a quick look and let him go.

In the minds of the natives of Naroa, the soul imprint cannot be forged.

It is like a unique signature, and even the conclusion of a contract requires a soul imprint.

The ID cards of the White Rose Caravan have two imprints.

They are Ophelia and the holder.

This is equivalent to an additional "anti-counterfeiting" information.

Therefore, the inspection process of the ID card is so simple.

Entering the caravan camp, he went straight to the tent in the middle.

But as soon as he approached Chen Xuan, he was blocked by the magic circle.

But after a few seconds, the isolating magic shield was automatically lifted.

Ophelia pushed open the heavy curtain, raised her eyebrows, and with a charming smile, she hurriedly greeted her master into the tent.

She was not wearing a bulletproof vest or armor, but a loose robe.

There was a carpet in the tent, and there was still free magic around.

The master and servant came into the tent.

With the magic circle reopened, this place became a relatively private space.

Ophelia hurriedly turned around and bowed to Chen Xuan.

The collar of the plain robe fell down under the influence of the terrain gravity, and suddenly a large area of ​​beautiful white scenery was exposed.

"Master."

Chen Xuan nodded, his eyes swept across the deep ravines but did not stay too much.

"When will the banquet be held?"

He asked straight to the point.

This matter was the main theme of tonight, and Chen Xuan came here specially for this.

Whether it was about Ophelia's stepmother Ursula or Baron Bezos, he had to go.

And reason told Chen Xuan that this banquet was definitely not simple.

Ophelia's current identity was very sensitive.

Not only is she the daughter of Ansethus, she also controls the mysterious supply channel of magic tears.

In addition, there is the relationship with red-haired Eusula.

Even if Chen Xuan uses his butt to think, he knows that the banquet is just a cover.

However, the other party certainly does not dare to attack Ophelia directly.

Because they all know that there is a mysterious strong man or force standing behind her.

Under such a premise, it is inevitable to test first.

Everyone wants to know what the power and trump card behind Ophelia are.

The current situation is that the other party doesn't know their depth yet.

And Chen Xuan didn't figure out the specific trick. Both parties needed to make contact.

Upon hearing his words, the half-elf lady slowly took out a hairband and tied up her light golden hair that was scattered behind her head. Then she walked towards the curtain that concealed her shame and answered in a calm tone.

"It should be more than half a water hour away."

"Specialized waiters will come to your door for noble banquets, and the time will vary."

Ophelia stood behind the curtain and changed her clothes.

When she walked out of the curtain, she had already put on a decent and gorgeous dress.

There is a flower-like lining under the waist, which makes the skirt open like an umbrella.

The fair and smooth shoulders are exposed, and the collar is just under the collarbone, looking dignified but not frivolous.

This pleated skirt can highlight the curves of the waist very well.

As for Chen Xuan, he was more casual.

He will attend the party as Ophelia's personal bodyguard.

And there is no need to disguise, because the Baron Castle will definitely prepare magic detection means.

After disguising for a long time, his true face can be regarded as a brand new disguise.

Before the waiter invited to the banquet arrived, Chen Xuan took out a "Big Baby" M2 heavy machine gun from his storage compartment.

…

In the Baron's castle, the banquet hall is being decorated.

Many foreign waiters came and went carrying wine glasses and napkins.

All the tableware is arranged meticulously, and they are all expensive aluminum tableware.

In the kitchen, the dwarf chef is preparing cooking materials, and the halfling deputy is decorating the dishes in advance.

“Lucar, bring the red blood fruit quickly!

"Or I'm going to kick your ass with my new boots!"

"Chef Phils, why hasn't the specific time for the banquet been finalized yet?"

"The wasteland barbarian beef needs to be marinated for at least half an hour!"

The castle's kitchen was filled with the crisp sounds of clinking cups and plates, the chopping sounds of knives cutting ingredients, and the loud shouts and complaints of the chefs.

The formal cooking has not yet begun, but the complicated preparations for the banquet are enough to make people feel overwhelmed.

While the dwarf chef was busy, the snake-man butler slithered over.

He spat out the letter, walked to the chef's side with tawny vertical eyes twinkling, took out a small glass bottle container from his arms, and then whispered a few words in his ear.

"What...what's going on?"

The dwarf chef listened to him and immediately looked surprised.

But the snake man shook his head and warned in a cold and calm tone.

"This is an order from His Majesty the Baron."

"You just have to be responsible and do it!"

"Don't forget who brought you out of the dirty black streets."

"Now I live in a castle and eat delicious food!"

The snake-man butler stretched out his hand covered with thin scales and patted the chef's shoulder heavily.

Then he left the place directly.

The dwarf chef clutched the glass bottle, his facial muscles tense.

…

In the drawing room of the castle, red-haired Ursula was sitting on a bench holding the hand of a fat lady.

Baron Bezos stood opposite them with a smile.

"Mrs. Zuzana, your skin is so good."

Yusula said flatteringly.

"I don't like practicing, so I age faster than you."

"It's just poor Ursula, your husband..."

Having said this, Zuzana showed a sympathetic look and gently held Yusula's shoulders.

Ursula herself looked sad and sighed softly.

"Fortunately, you and Mr. Bezos are willing to take me in."

“The empty Akso Manor now scares me.”

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Zuzana quickly comforted her.

"The castle is your home."

"You can stay here as long as you want."

After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Baron Bezos.

"My dear, when does the party start?"

"The dark sun is about to set in the west, and the moonlit night is coming."

The fat on the fat Mrs. Zuzana's face trembled when she spoke.

However, her tone was very gentle, not as harsh or cunning as she imagined.

After she spoke, Baron Bezos smiled slightly and made an elegant gentlemanly salute.

"My dear madam, please sit with poor Ursula for a while."

"I'll ask the waiter to invite our guests."

At this time, Mrs. Zuzana's face turned cold, and her tone became serious.

"go quickly."

"I would like to see what the little bitch Yusula calls her really capable of!"

"She was able to create a brand new caravan in just a few Naroa days. She must have benefited from the Colchicum Merchant Group. Maybe the disappearance of Antuses has something to do with her!"

Unlike Ursula and Baron Bezos, Mrs. Zuzana does not understand Ophelia.

No in-depth investigation has been conducted.

Coupled with Yusula's deliberate slander these days, she became hostile to Ophelia.

Facing the harsh words uttered by Mrs. Zuzana, the corners of Yusula's eyes twitched slightly, and Baron Bezos lowered his head unnaturally, and then he walked out of the living room.

The snake man butler has been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing the Baron coming out, the snake man quickly leaned forward and whispered.

"My lord, it's all done."

"The juice extracted from the Dream Vine can put her into a strong hallucination state."

Baron Bezos nodded.

"Let's go, prepare for the worst tonight."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the end of the corridor.

…

Inside the camp where the White Rose Caravan is stationed.

Ophelia is holding an M2 heavy machine gun and is learning loading, loading and other operations under Chen Xuan's guidance.

When you get a new weapon, of course you need to make a complete change immediately.

"Master, you said it only takes a few shots to break the peak bronze-level body protective magic?"

"Of course, it uses bullets thicker than your fingers."

Chen Xuan pointed to the 12.7×99mm caliber bullet on the bullet chain and said.

This bullet is also known as the .50.50 caliber Browning machine gun bullet.

After being fired from the M2 heavy machine gun, the kinetic energy of the muzzle is nine times that of the AK47!

Previously, when dealing with the dead soldiers sent by Bai Zhiyong in Myawadi, they almost shot one child at a time.

Even the peak bronze-level ammunition cannot effectively resist this kind of powerful ammunition.

One shot is better than a dozen rounds of small and medium caliber ammunition.

You can even use it to deal with ordinary silver-level experts.

There is nothing that one shuttle cannot solve. If there is, then one more shuttle!

Ophelia stroked the gun body and looked at Chen Xuan with even more admiration.

Then she raised the M134 rapid-fire machine gun at her feet.

This thing uses 7.62 mm caliber ammunition. The power of a single shot is not as good as that of M2, but the rate of fire is nearly ten times faster. When the switch is pressed to the bottom, it can pour out hundreds of rounds of bullets per second.

Suitable for dealing with groups of enemies that are individually weak.

For example, low-level monsters appeared in large numbers.

Chen Xuan gave her a lot of matching ammunition boxes so that she could use them at any time during the war.

With the blessing of two new individual firearms, M2 and M134, the combat power of the girls will be greatly improved. The combination of modern firearms and extraordinary power can produce an effect of 1+1>2.

Unfortunately, the space inside the tent was too small to conduct test firing operations.

To shoot large firearms, you have to go to the wilderness.

While the master and servant were communicating, the waiter in charge of banquet invitations came to the station.

Ophelia and Chen Xuan, who were already well prepared, walked out of the camp directly.

Chen Xuan put on a hood and a black iron mask covering his face.

He is a personal guard and will enter the castle together.

A beautifully carved carriage waited outside the station.

Ophelia, who was wearing a pleated skirt, held the waiter's hand and was guided into the car.

Chen Xuan followed her step by step and got into the car together at her request.

The waiter sat opposite them, and there was a coachman responsible for driving.

The master and servant communicated vaguely with their eyes, said nothing, and waited quietly for the end of the car ride.
