I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 77 "Contacts"

Entering the city today, it is obvious that the "inner city transfer vehicle" is a bit short of capacity, and many noble carriages are stranded at the station at the city gate.

After waiting for half an hour, Keos learned that their carriages could enter the city directly, go to the entrance of the inner city, and then transfer to a hired ox cart or horse-drawn carriage in the inner city-the livestock that pull the carts in the inner city are quite special. It can excrete anywhere and has a more stable personality. It is exclusively operated by nobles licensed by Shengyou Palace.

Keos still only brought Salveira with him when he entered the city this time. On the one hand, he wanted to keep more people guarding the Beishan Manor. On the other hand, he had come to Yulang City so many times. There are not only the high-frequency and high-density patrols of the Retribution Knights, but also the many area magic circles arranged by the Holy Blessing Palace, which can be said to be full of security.

If someone can really assassinate him under such circumstances, and Salveira can't keep him, and can't even delay the time, then it doesn't make much sense to bring a few more people—unless you can bring someone like Guan Yaoxing exist.

For most aristocrats, the number of people they bring and the level of rank are more a matter of ostentation.

And Keos now wants to keep a low profile and doesn't need ostentation.

The Shengyou Palace in Yulang City is a place he is relatively familiar with. After all, it is next to the library. Some time ago, when he came to the library every day, he passed Shengyou Palace every day.

He even entered the presiding judge's office in the Holy Blessing Palace because of Pender's invitation. According to old Pete, this was a bragging experience for him. The old baron had never been to the presiding judge's office.

After arriving at the entrance of the Holy Blessing Palace, Salveira took the invitation letter and went to find the people from the Holy Blessing Palace, and Kaios was waiting in the carriage.

He originally thought that they would wait outside like other nobles, verifying the invitation letter and identity one by one before inviting them in.

But what I didn't expect was that not long after Salveira passed by, a disciplinary knight wearing the armor of the Holy Blessing Palace came over, came to the side of the carriage and saluted, and said, "Baron Li, Magician Dominic please You go to his reception room to meet."

Kaios immediately understood that it was Dominique who opened the back door for him and let him go in early.

If it was an ordinary banquet, there would definitely be different levels of treatment for nobles with and without titles, and nobles with different ranks, but outside the Holy Blessing Palace, even the earls and marquises were waiting in the car. Not to mention barons and other small lords without titles.

Only the Grand Duke can have special treatment and go directly to see the presiding judge—but there is only one Grand Duke in Yulang City.

So hearing the words of the disciplinary knights, all the carriages in the front and back of Keos' side cast their gazes.

low key failure...

However, the magister of the Retribution Knights invited him to enter first in his own name.

Kaios thought for a second, then got out of the car and walked into the Holy Blessing Palace with the punishment knight.

The other people's guards and servants stayed outside after the invitation letter was confirmed, and they went to find a place to wait. Only the invited lord could go in, but Kaios waited for Salveira to settle the bill with the driver. Take her in together.

After wandering around in the Holy Blessing Palace, Kaios and Salveira were taken to a small room of seven or eight square meters.

There is a sofa, a coffee table, and a small bar in the room, where you can get all kinds of drinks, and the opposite wall is all floor-to-ceiling glass, and you can see the garden outside, and the view is very good.

This is the reception room of the Holy Blessing Palace. Although it looks quite small, compared to Pender's spacious office, it is a bit cramped, but it is in the Holy Blessing Palace, where at least the top magister, the top holy spirit Only Wei can use it.

At the beginning, Keos was actually a little confused. After all, there should be quite a lot of nobles and lords who are willing to befriend the sanctuary knights and magisters of the Holy Blessing Palace. He is a baron of three leaves, even if he has a good relationship with Dominic recently and has gone far Recently, Dominica should and would not behave in such a way of favoring one another and taking special care of one another in such an occasion where all the nobles are present.

But after thinking about it, he could understand why Dominic did this.

In Shengyou Palace in Yulang City alone, there are five top-level magicians and eight top-level holy spirit guards. It is said that two other holy spirit guards have already broken through to super-level.

Although Dominique is recognized as the confidant brought by Judge Pan De to Yulang City, and often handles the affairs of nobles near Yulang City, but after all, there are more than a dozen people with the same or even higher status than him on the surface.

The nobles and lords will look at the disciplinary knights and magicians of the Holy Blessing Palace differently, but they are indeed contract servants in essence, and they have no power to make decisions for the Holy Blessing Palace in name.

The big nobles and big lords have the "ability" to establish a good relationship with them, but generally they don't spend too much money, and they will keep their status reserved, and at most send contracted servants of relatively equal strength to associate with them.

Small nobles and small lords who do not have territories have the need to curry favor with them—Keus knew that Dominique would often go to the eligibility review for knighthood applications.For this kind of thing, if the score is 60, they are naturally unable and dare not get 100 points, but if it is a fluctuation between 99 points and 101 points, it is within their controllable range.

But small nobles and small lords usually don't give too many benefits, and the magisters of the Punishment Knights at Dominique's level don't like this kind of small favors, but when they give too much, it is something that clearly needs to be returned, Domi Nick was either afraid or unwilling.

Like Keos, who can occasionally communicate in person, and give him a "rare" magic wand worth tens of thousands of magic coupons on his birthday, Baron Sanye is just a gift, it seems that he is really... the only one.

Kaios thought about the change of the aperture behind the other party's head when he saw Dominic last time, and felt that he could make more efforts on Dominique.

Although Presiding Judge Pan De has blue eyes on him, and his favorability circle has reached full yellow, but after all, because of his status, it is difficult to see him on weekdays, and it is not convenient to ask him for many things.

Dominique is different. From the last time he helped him design and solve the problem of Fan Boer and Tritter and his son, it can be seen that this old man is helping relatives and not helping relatives, and there is no difference in status. It seems that he also intends to make friends He, went in both directions to belong to yes.

"Baron Li, please rest here. When the dinner starts, I will come and take you to the main hall. The magician Dominique is in charge of the defense of the venue, so he can't leave for the time being. He said that he will catch up with you after the dinner. " said the punishment knight.

Although Kaios was a little surprised, he naturally didn't have any opinions.

But after the disciplinary knight left, he was sitting in the reception room, drinking the tea that Salveira made for him, and he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He remembered hearing from Dominic that the security of Yulang City's inner city, outer city, and Shengyou Palace were respectively in charge of the two magisters and one holy spirit guard. Things that need to be collected or executed, without these things, he would be quite free in Shengyou Palace, and he would be free to come to him at any time.

Usually he is not responsible for defense at all. During such a big banquet, he will be responsible for the most important defense of the venue?
Not impossible, but Keos always felt that something was wrong.

"This big banquet is probably unusual." Kaios muttered to himself.

"My lord, the punishment knights receiving the nobles outside the Holy Blessing Palace behaved normally, but just now when we came in, the punishment knights who had formed a team and were waiting for orders didn't feel right. They seemed to be ready to do something. , the aura is activated." After hearing this, Salvira filled the cup of tea for Kaios, and said suddenly.

"It can't be a Hongmen banquet, can it?"

"Hongmen Banquet?"

"Oh, it's just..." Kaios found that he couldn't explain it, so he shook his head and said, "I'm talking nonsense. Anyway, what Shengyou Palace really does should have nothing to do with us."

But after half an hour, Kaios, who was taken to the main banquet hall, suddenly discovered that what was about to happen had something to do with them...

When the nobles first entered the main banquet hall, they were still in twos and threes, and those who knew each other stood together and greeted each other. The atmosphere was also lively and cheerful.

But soon, when all the noble lords entered the banquet hall, the doors of the main banquet hall were closed, and heavily armed disciplinary knights stood there.

A lord wanted to go to his contracted servant outside the Holy Blessing Palace to get something back, but was stopped by the punishment knight, who forbade him to go out again.

The lord thought it was unreasonable at first, so he quarreled with the disciplinary knight, and other people surrounded him, trying to persuade the disciplinary knight to open the door. Anyway, there was still a while before the official start time, and the cold dishes hadn't been served yet.

But unexpectedly, a disciplinary knight with the captain's badge came over and drew his sword directly.

"My lords, please stay away from the entrance and exit, forcible intruders, kill."

Pointed at by the glimmering sword tip, the lord's brow was covered with cold sweat. He immediately realized that this was a sword that could really kill him, and immediately stepped back a few steps.

The entire banquet hall fell into silence, and all the lords noticed that the banquet tonight was unusual.

Most of these nobles have not practiced, and the contracted servants are not with them. Even if they want to force their way, they don't have the ability.
