Chapter 74 The Banquet Begins



Finally, after five days of emergency training, Gu Shi passed the etiquette test.

From the etiquette courses in the past few days, Gu Shi also realized that in this banquet, he was like Field's pendant.

At the banquet, he doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to learn to smile elegantly, nod, salute, and say a few words of greeting.

Gu Shi's formal dress had already been rushed out. Just as Field said, the dress was in the shape of a robe and the color was classic black, but the cuffs and collar were embroidered with silver patterns using special silk thread, giving off a special luster.

The fabric is also very comfortable and feels silky and soft. According to Colin, this fabric is made of special Warcraft materials and has a certain protective effect, and can resist the damage of some magic and combat skills.

If time hadn't been so tight, Colin would have asked someone to enchant the robe to give it more powerful functions.

On the day of the banquet.

Although the banquet was scheduled for the evening, Gu Shi started preparing early.

After changing his clothes, Colin took him to do his hair. Watching teacher Tony from another world doing it, Gu Shi didn't notice any changes in his hair, but others said it looked very good.

After the hair is done, the next step is the face.

Seeing a man holding some bottles and jars and trying to apply them on his face, Gu Shi immediately refused.

Not to mention that Gu Shi didn't like makeup, but when he thought of the poisonous lead powder and mercury used to apply on the face in medieval Europe, he turned his back on all these bottles and jars.

Seeing that Gu Shi refused to put anything on his face, the others did not continue and started to give him some scattered small accessories.

After this ordeal, Gu Shi felt that he would never want to attend a banquet again. Although he didn't feel physically tired, he was very exhausted mentally.

By the time Gu Shi had finished, it was almost time for them to set off. Field had already gotten into the carriage and was waiting for him.

Seeing Guan Shi getting into the carriage with an out-of-body look on his face, Field couldn't help laughing.

Hearing Field's laughter, the resentment in Gu Shi's heart suddenly surged even more violently.

Gu Shi looked at him for a few times and found that Field had not changed at all. He just changed his clothes compared to usual. He immediately asked unwillingly, "Why don't you dress like this, teacher?!"

"This is your first time appearing in a social setting like this, so you should dress formally to show how much I value you. You don't have to go through so much trouble next time."

Gu Shi sighed deeply and leaned back on the soft seat. "I hope there won't be a next time."

The carriage that Field was riding in was naturally very high-end. The space inside the carriage had been expanded by magic, and the interior was also quite luxurious. There were also a lot of tea and snacks on the small table in front of him.

Gu Shi rested in the carriage for a while before he remembered to ask, "Come to think of it, I don't even know who organized this banquet."

"The host of the banquet is Marquis Carter. His youngest son has reached adulthood this year and is said to be quite talented.

The previous generation Marquis Carter was a very capable man who won a lot of glory for his family on the battlefield.

But this generation of heirs is unable to continue his glory, and now it seems that all hopes are placed on his youngest son.

This banquet is used to build momentum for Marquis Carter's youngest son. His family has some connections in the capital, so most people are willing to give him face and attend this banquet."

Field took a sip of the teacup, then continued to say to Gu Shi, "You don't have to worry too much about these details. Just follow me to greet Marquis Carter and show your face.

I will first take you to meet everyone you need to meet at the banquet. After that, if you want to slack off, just find a secluded place by yourself. If others want to get close to you, just ignore them."

"I see."

Hearing that he didn't have to stay at the banquet for the whole time, Gu Shi felt a lot more relaxed.

Field added, "After this incident, your identity will naturally spread. If you encounter any problems in the future, these nobles will definitely help you out of my kindness.

Also, if you encounter some brainless people who want to pick a fight with you, just fight them directly, even if the person you hit is a prince. "

Gu Shi nodded to show that he understood. He naturally knew that this meant that Field would support him.

About ten minutes later, their carriage slowly drove into Marquis Carter's estate, and carriages kept passing by the banquet hall.

Gu Shi followed Field out of the car and watched him show the invitation to the waiter at the door, and then the two of them entered the banquet hall together.

This banquet hall seemed to have been renovated in the past two days, and the decoration everywhere was very luxurious. However, Gu Shi had lived in Field's manor for a few days and had seen better places than this one, so he was naturally no longer surprised.

There were already quite a few people standing in the banquet hall, and people like Field who arrived at this time were considered to be among the latecomers.

When they walked into the banquet hall, Gu Shi could feel many people's eyes were focused on them. He could see the expressions on their faces that showed they were eager to come over and chat with him.

Gu Shi understood that these people's target was Field and the Burns family behind him.

Field ignored the gazes of these people. He was used to being in the spotlight. He took Gu Shi and walked straight to the center of the banquet hall, where the host of the banquet, Marquis Carter, was standing.

Seeing Field's figure, Marquis Carter, who was originally chatting with others, quickly ended the previous conversation and took the initiative to walk over here.

"Ah, Lord Burns, it's truly an honor for me that you can attend my youngest son's coming-of-age banquet this time."

Marquis Carter's face was full of smiles. When he sent out the invitations, he had not expected that this wizard, who was known for his arrogance, would actually come to attend the banquet.

Compared to Marquis Carter's high spirits, Field was much cooler. He simply nodded and said, "Hello, Marquis Carter."

Marquis Carter originally extended his hand to shake hands with Field, but looking at Field's posture, it was clear that he had no such intention.

Marquis Carter did not feel embarrassed either. He had heard of Field's personality a long time ago. He smiled and withdrew his hand, then looked at Gu Shi who was following behind Field.

"Who is this young gentleman who looks a little strange?"
