Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 620 Birthday Banquet, Backstab

When the sunset sheds its last rays and the moon rises slowly in the curtain of night, the banquet begins.

On Crescent Street, the courtyard of Ackerman's house was brightly lit.

Lanzihe flowers are in full bloom, like a rippling blue wave, which is just rightly dotted with various winter flowers, colorful and colorful, competing for splendor.

The banquet for the party has been set up on the lawn, and there are several long mahogany tables covered with clean white tablecloths.

The cool breeze blows gently, and the brilliance of the moon quietly sprinkles down. Countless moonlight refracts on the crystal lanterns and glass cups and other utensils on both sides of the courtyard, shining intoxicatingly.

There are several piles of firewood around, stacked like a bonfire.

Such a very casual dinner party is obviously informal.

It is said that if it is a formal banquet, Ren can't stand it.

Perhaps the extraordinary aristocrats believe in personal power more, and the strong don't need too much red tape to show their status, so the table manners and banquet procedures of the world's upper class are relatively not too complicated.
But for a young man like Ryan who thinks he is vulgar and has no patience, formal banquets are still smelly and long, a waste of time.

Of course, he wouldn't make fun of his own birthday.

Therefore, the banquet should be as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

Anyway, it is not very popular in this world to hold birthday parties very formally.

"Hey, the atmosphere here is very good. It's in the courtyard. Well, I really like this bohemian feeling."

The first guest to arrive was Hal the Human Head Dog.

He watched all this with a pair of red phoenix eyes. All the decorations here reflected simplicity and leisure, not as luxurious and grand as a formal banquet.

The courtyard is full of flowers, several rows of rattan chairs and several white tables are set up, and a few pretty girls in evening dresses are playing soothing music.

The dishes haven't been served yet, but I think they are not bad, and the drinks seem to be quite plentiful...these are all in line with his taste.

"Hal, as long as you like it, I don't have the patience to hold a birthday party according to the procedure like a marionette.

Comfort, enjoyment, pleasure... These are the pursuits of young people, although the old-fashioned old men may not like to hear this, and they always lament the decline of the world. "

Wearing a small casual blue suit and a white shirt, Ren shrugged and greeted the old ruffian at the door.

"Haha, sure enough, we are fellow travelers, so I'm free to do so."

"Human Dog" Hal, the top genius of the Demon Hunter Association, laughed and gave his colleague Ren a hug after hearing this.

After all, everyone is in the Witcher Association, and they are both young talents, so of course they will give each other more face.

"Hal, isn't Michelle coming?" Ren asked.

The last time he teamed up against the enemy in the Demon Realm, he and the church's "Holy White Sword" had somewhat of a friendship.

"I can't come, that dead-faced paralyzed man went to the capital of Wisteria three days ago, talking about the saint all day, the faith is united, the spirit is immortal, the church is flourishing... and so on, I am annoyed by him. .”

The old ruffian Hal shook his head and complained a few words.

The church is booming?

Ren raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't ask any further questions. Seeing that the first guest had arrived, he immediately ordered:

"Let's serve."

"Yes, Mr. Ackerman!"

Standing aside, Mr. Pat from the Lanxiang Etiquette and Celebration Company who hosted the banquet for Ryan immediately agreed.

Then, batches of maids came up with silver basins.

The nobles naturally have the rules of the nobles. Even if Rennes has emphasized simplification, there must be a set of rules.

Wine is served first, good wine and beer. According to the customs of this world, beer is used to rinse the mouth at the banquet.

Then came the food. In this world, the nobility emphasized a meat diet.

Regardless of whether this is reasonable or not, but the rules are like this.

Therefore, meat dishes with all kinds of color, flavor and taste are served first. Beef, pork, mutton, fat chicken, fat goose, fish, ham, bacon...all made into skewers, or served in small plates form.

And then milk and cheese again...

Ren felt that such eating habits were too greasy.

However, there is no way to do this. In the concept of the world's nobles, meat is the mainstream of banquets, and vegetables and fruits are only used for decoration or display.

It's better now, and scholars of the natural school have put forward the theory of a balanced diet.

When there is no banquet, everyone still eats vegetables.

In the Third Epoch, green vegetables were even considered to be eaten by the inferior people, and could not be served on the table of the nobles.

"Yes, I like this kind of buffet banquet."

Hal immediately took off his suit and tie, threw it on the bushes aside, and picked up a glass of champagne on the table.

After the drinks and dishes were served, it was almost eight o'clock.

The rest of the guests soon followed.

"Happy birthday, Ryan."

"Happy birthday, boy Ryan, congratulations on turning salty fish over. You sprayed the garbage of the southern aristocrats in the newspaper! What a big heart!"

Outside the wrought iron gate, the old goat in a suit and leather shoes came with Leon.

The two still brought their female companions tonight. They haven't seen each other for a while, but they have been in contact secretly. They directly gave Ren a warm hug.

"I am coming."

Leon said briefly, meaning only the person involved would know.

"Haha, there is a loud noise in the sky, and the great master Nicholas is on the stage! Tremble, mortals!" The old goat's hair was still so coquettish with hairspray on it.

Ren was still a little moved.

To be honest, the two of them are the few people who know that he seems to be in a good situation at present, but in fact he is in a bad situation.

All three of them were targeted by the ghouls.

It's understandable that the old goat came to support him. After all, he is also a member of the association, and he was also targeted, but Leon didn't have to come to this muddy water at all.

As one of the heirs of the Faloran's top wealthy family and the Fino Cassius family, Leon can hide in the family's marquis territory to avoid the limelight. His grandfather, "The Horn of Dawn" Wade, can cover him.

However, once you run out, it is dangerous.

Ryan inadvertently destroyed Duke Marcus's secret plan, and the old goat and Leon killed Duke Marcus's wife...

When the three of them get together, it is conceivable that Dora will hate each other.

Since there was a female companion, the three of them didn't talk much at this time.

Leon's female companion is a daughter of a noble family, with black and beautiful hair, a fair and tender face, and a gentle temperament, at least she is a decent woman.

But the old goat's female companion looks much more wonderful.

She was tall and pale in a low-cut, backless blue dress, with heavy smoky makeup, a gold nose ring, and bone tattoos on her back.

According to the old goat, this woman is from the Principality of Ron, and her name is Sophia.

She has some Westmark blood, and seems to be a middleman who resells resources.

"When you came, how was the surrounding area outside the city?"

Ren asked after the two let their female companions enter the courtyard first.

"Everything is normal, but this is something wrong... It seems to be controlled by others, but it seems that you are the big fish, anyway, Leon and I didn't catch the enemy.

Tsk tsk, boy Ryan, you really annoyed Duke Marcus, he can even temporarily put aside the revenge of killing his wife, and give priority to killing you! "

The old goat said in a low voice.

"Hehe, let's leave it at that for the time being. Regarding your plan to build a mage tower in my territory, I agree."

Ren's eyes turned cold, and he nodded.

Ever since he got the 500-acre manor, the old goat said that he wanted to build a mage tower in his territory.

The two each contributed half of the money to build it together.

As a condition, the old goat will train mage or warlock apprentices for the Ackerman family for free within 20 years, and formally form an alliance with the Ackerman family.

After thinking about it for a few days, Ren agreed, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

His small territory is surrounded by the Southern Noble Alliance, and Wilton is very close to the plains. The power of the demons there is far stronger than that of Melova City in the middle of the kingdom, and it would be nice to have a mage tower.

Not only can the mage tower monitor the entire territory, but it is also a military fortress in terms of offense and defense regardless of other values!
In March next year, Rennes will go to build the territory, farm, and develop insignificantly.

"Ren, this is for you."

Leon coughed lightly and handed him the two photos.

Above are two young women with dignified demeanor, pretty appearance, and excellent temperament and charm. At first glance, they look like ladies of everyone. With Ren's critical vision, they also scored above 85.

"This one……"

Ren raised his eyebrows with a little doubt on his face.

Before Leon, who was a little embarrassed, explained, the old goat smirked:
"Haha, marriage, don't you understand this? Hurry up and agree, these two are the sisters of Boy Leon, as long as you agree, hehe, you can be the sister of a good friend who sleeps every day, and become his sister." Brother-in-law!"

Sleeping friend's sister?

'Tsk, it sounds good at first glance... Ahem, I'm not the stud Ryan in "I'm Moving Bricks in Buchen City"! '

The corner of Ren's mouth twitched, and these thoughts flashed through his mind.

He is not an honest man at all, but when he thinks of the picture of the Valkyrie sometimes wiping the famous gun "Endless Thunder" with a half-smiling smile--he will immediately follow his heart and suppress any petty thoughts that should not be there.

"Haha, promise quickly, isn't my friend's sister fragrant? If they don't dislike me, I don't mind trying..."

The old goat said with a wretched smile.

Leon's face darkened, he glared at him viciously, raised his leg and kicked him, but was easily dodged by the old pervert.

"Ren, think about it, the conditions are easy to talk about."

After leaving this sentence, Leon looked a little embarrassed and chased the old goat who had been laughing wantonly into the courtyard.

Ren shook his head and threw the photos of the two girls into the bushes.

Back then when he was in Bushen City, he didn't hold back and took advantage of the Valkyrie... Now there is only one way to go to the dark.

But he didn't regret it either. How can a beautiful lady smile like a charm, but other rouge and vulgar fans can't compare?

"Hehe, Mr. Vice President, please cover me!" Soon, the female witcher Shirley ran over laughing.

Even in winter, female hooligans still wear miniskirts.

The white blouse on her body couldn't conceal her fiery figure, revealing her flat and smooth belly button, and those ivory-like beautiful legs were even more seductive in the moonlight.

"Go, Hal over there is also the vice president of the association in the San Joan Empire, go and hug his thigh."

Ren escaped her embrace and pushed her back into the courtyard.

"Tch, who cares about him, an old hooligan."

Even though she is a stamp collector, Shirley still despises the prodigal Hal. She snorted coquettishly and said, "You know you despise me. It's really incomprehensible. I just want to repay your life-saving grace in the Demon Realm."

"No need, I really want to repay you. You will pay for tonight's consumption."

Ren pushed her away, too lazy to argue with this female hooligan.

Afterwards, at 7 o'clock in the evening, Director Jones of Bureau [-], Dennis, a scholar of the [Druid] profession, and Candice, a woman of different races, also arrived one after another.

Basically, Renn is in Melova City, and these are the acquaintances.

Two days ago, when he went to the underground black market in the city to sell the stolen goods from the Lord Marquis of the Principality of Ron, the witch Josephine said that she also wanted to participate.

However, out of fear of witches, he politely refused.

Josephina's identity is a bit sensitive, and he doesn't want others to know what kind of relationship he has with the "Nightmare Witch".

The bonfire was lit, and the banquet officially began. Everyone tasted food and wine, and chatted casually.

"Ah, time flies,
To pass the dark night,

This heart is still obsessed,
The moonlight is still so bright.

The breath of life never tires,
I worship the goddess of youth,

She is the cupbearer of the rising sun,
Daughter of dew and wild lettuce,

Serving wine for people can keep gods and people young and energetic forever.

She is the healthiest, strongest, most vigorous maiden,

Wherever she goes, it becomes spring..."

Several female employees of the Lanxiang Etiquette Company are wearing evening gowns and playing the eleven-stringed moon huaqin (one of the plucked string instruments in this world. The body of the qin is half pear-shaped. composed of the curved pegboard on the top of the head), the light and melodious female voice echoes melodiously in the sultry night.

After eating half of it, Ren felt a little tired of meat.

Regardless of the traditional rules and customs of the nobles, he asked people to serve apples, pears, almonds, papayas, figs, grapes, and then sweet honey. As for the vegetables, there were only two kinds of vegetables and radishes.

Everyone didn't think that vegetables were not popular. Most of the people present were young people, and few of them paid attention to traditional rules.

"Have a dance, Candice."

Ren held a glass of sweet and delicious champagne, and after touching a glass with his business partner, Candice, a black-haired foreign woman, said with a smile on his face.

Recently, the business has basically been negotiated, with only a few small details left.

The two have met more times, and they are quite familiar with each other. After all, some time ago, they "showed their affection" every day, and many ordinary citizens thought that Ren was going to be a son-in-law of a foreign race.

"Ok."

A smile appeared on the corner of Candice's mouth, and she walked to the center of the courtyard.

She was wearing a very elegant red tunic dress, which outlined a beautiful undulating devil figure, but as long as a few buttons hidden in the pattern were gently unbuttoned, the tunic skirt became a bifurcated cheongsam.

This made her beautiful white legs, like creamy jade, looming between the hem of the skirt when she was walking, which was extremely moving.

It wasn't the first time she showed him dancing, and she didn't refuse, and besides, Ren bought this dress for her.

We have been getting along very happily recently, but what makes Candice a little depressed is that Ryan really doesn't mean anything else to her.

In front of the bonfire, the beauties danced all over the city.

Like a bright red rose blooming, hot and seductive, the exotic dance is dazzling, the dancing cheongsam skirt, the attractive long legs, and the look of her eyes all make people fascinated by it.

The women are okay, at most there is a little jealousy in their eyes, and the men have different reactions.

"This alien girl is indeed very upright, only inferior to Kesha's female nerves and Sophie's dead lily."

"Human Head Dog" Hal commented in a professional tone.

"It's really the best stuff. I'm willing to live ten years less if I can sleep one more time... It's a pity that I was beaten by that pig of Rennes."

Staring at the dancing red skirt, Candice's looming white and long legs, the old goat almost drooled.

Although he didn't know the specific identity, he knew that Renn had actually been dating for a long time, but this didn't prevent him from spraying him.

"Ren is truly blessed."

Leon was a little amazed, but also a little disappointed. He knew that his two older sisters might have no hope.

Ren didn't even fall in love with this enchanting and charming foreign woman, which shows how much he loves his mysterious girlfriend, and it is unlikely that he will marry another family.

Many perverts are staring at the sexy and enchanting Candice.

Director Jones in the 7th bureau is also a pig brother.

Of course, Ren was only serious on the surface, thinking about how to let Kesha show him a striptease at night.

"The Westmark people, the blood of the snake people, the Yunxia Mountains... maybe next year we can go to the field to investigate their cultural customs."

In the entire courtyard, the real gentleman is obviously only the scholar Dennis.

This fourth-order [Grand Druid] of the natural school is thinking about the different cultural customs and some academic issues between the Cango people and the Westmark people.

Ren didn't look back until Candice finished the hot dance.

Walking to the side, he said to Mr. Pat who was hosting the banquet: "Mr. Pat, you can serve some pastries."

"No problem, but it seems to be getting late, Mr. Ackerman, do you need to bring the birthday cake up?"

Mr. Pat, dressed in a tuxedo and a butler, asked with a smile.

"No need, there's still time, I won't go home if I'm not drunk tonight."

Ren seemed to be in a happy mood, turned around, raised his legs and wanted to walk to the burning bonfire in the courtyard.

No, your time has come...

Mr. Pat's expression remained unchanged, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

puff~
Without any warning, a cold light flashed, and a layer of frost condensed on the ground in an instant. The sharp black long sword pierced Ren's body directly, and the tip of the sword that pierced the flesh brought out a bewitching blood flower on his chest. !
Staring at the blade that pierced him, pain, surprise, surprise... These expressions appeared on Ren's face at the same time.

As for "Mr. Pat", who was holding a pitch-black sword and dagger, there was a trace of astonishment in his cold and merciless gaze.

How is this possible... This is the common thought in the hearts of the two of them.
