"Oh my god, this, this, this... is so scary!"
"This... seems to be the orc that appeared in the psychedelic museum last night?"
"No way! Someone actually awakened the orcs in More City!"
"But this lion beastman seems to be very obedient..."
“…”
“…”
Bringing the lion beastman Felix out caused countless people to exclaim and even panic, which was within Zhang Feng's expectations.
Delia's expression remained unchanged, but her tone became much colder.

The city lord came to the first floor.
“…”
At the entrance of the sixth-floor castle, a group of people were standing, talking in low voices.
Each name represents a force, some are in Moore City, and some are in other cities. They all have more or less business dealings with Moore City, so it is reasonable for the city lord to invite them to a banquet.
Her expression was calm, even a little indifferent. She changed into an elegant robe, and her whole body exuded an air of competence, or perhaps the aura of a strong woman.
"Hey, I'm saying that this castle is not built properly at all. Not only is it ugly on the outside, but the planning inside is also unreasonable. It took me a long time to find the way out. It's the same as a slave market. No, it's not good at all..."
"Oh My God!"
As soon as the city lord left, several knights appeared behind him and protected him in the dark.
Knowing that everyone was somewhat afraid of Felix, Zhang Feng briefly explained.
"You are so insincere! I guess you need to think carefully about buying a steam car!"
Zhang Feng: “…”
Orc? Guard? These two words can be connected together? Everyone was curious, but they were not very familiar with Zhang Feng, so they were too embarrassed to ask.
Because of the lion beastman, the dishes were eaten very quickly. Delia signaled the servants to serve the dishes with a look, and then she spoke as if nothing had happened: "What do you think of the City Lord's Mansion that I designed personally?"
The city lord went downstairs without looking back.
So at the first moment, the city lord did not know that the lion beastman had woken up and was walking towards the city lord's mansion.
However, before he could finish his words, a huge shadow suddenly appeared, blocking the torches on both sides of the road. When the firelight came in again, a strong and even terrifying figure appeared in front of everyone.
In fact, the lion beastman didn't eat much in the hotel. The food prepared by the ox-horned lady was just enough to fill his teeth, but he also wanted to save face, so he didn't mention it to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng naturally didn't say what he was thinking in his heart. He just naturally greeted everyone.
Zhang Feng thought that the city lord was only inviting him to the banquet, but he didn't expect that there were others.
"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
"The youngest son of the Earl of Wallis, the daughter of the Earl of Oliver, the Baron of Dubois..."
Looking at this group of people, Zhang Feng thought that they should also be here to attend the city lord's dinner.
Except for a few confidants, few people can enter. But today, this six-story castle opened its doors.
What was originally a decent dinner suddenly became tasteless.
Not long after, a group of neatly dressed and elegant men and women came over.
These nobles were naturally very happy to be invited to the banquet. You know, the mayor of the city of More is usually not seen by people. Even if the nobles came to see her, she could just say no and she had the capital to do so, so everyone was helpless.
"Huh? It's you? Delia? You can't just sit anywhere like that!"
Zhang Feng was a little confused for a moment. He never thought that Delia, who looked weak and seductive, was actually the lord of More City! A female countess!
Zhang Feng originally wanted to let him eat as much as he wanted, but when he thought of the lion beastman's horrific appetite, he decided not to cause trouble for the city lord.
This is not to say that Zhang Feng is so afraid of her, it’s just that he feels like he has been caught doing something bad. It’s not fear, really!
Everyone hurried to thank him.
"He actually woke up the orcs! How come no one informed me of such important news!"
Zhang Feng nodded, and then said to the lion beastman: "Felix, you can eat as much as you want... Forget it, you should restrain yourself a little."
Delia only said one sentence to Zhang Feng, and then ignored him, eating elegantly while talking to other people.
A soldier opened the door, but when he saw the lion beastman outside, he could hardly speak clearly.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord!"
At the dining table, Zhang Feng tasted a piece of fried venison. It wasn't delicious, but it was edible and could fill his stomach.
The current Delia is completely different from the one Zhang Feng saw in the morning.
This was a big deal! Especially since this orc was eating obediently and didn't go crazy or anything, she was surprised. She didn't understand how Zhang Feng did it.
For example, the earl's son and daughter would sit at the top, close to the city lord, while the others would sit in the lower rows.
Everyone made their own guesses, but they all felt that none of them were quite right.
All this was within Zhang Feng's expectations. He negotiated with the city defense guards, explained Felix's background, and took out the contract. The city defense guards then left, looking back every few steps.
Looking at the table full of food, although they were very hungry, everyone did not eat anything, but talked in low voices.
The servant hurriedly greeted him.
"Lord City Lord!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Feng expectantly, hoping that Zhang Feng could be braver. Everyone likes to watch the fun.
Now they suddenly received an invitation to a banquet, which was good news. As long as they met the city lord himself, business matters would be easier to discuss.
"I don't know. The last time I had dinner with the City Lord was about a year ago..."
Although Zhang Feng said that Felix would not attack anyone at will, orcs were rare after all, and he looked so fierce, so everyone subconsciously stayed away from him.
But after all, they were the city lord's personal guards, so they quickly calmed down. As long as they were sure that the other party was not here to fight, it would be fine.
So generally speaking, these seats are arranged according to strength.
Zhang Feng was a little surprised to see the woman sitting on the seat next to him. He didn't expect to see Delia here.
On one side are the backbone of More City, and on the other side are the various aristocratic forces. In terms of status, they are actually comparable.
"Or maybe the city lord saw that we were working hard and was going to reward us? Hehe!"
Delia spoke in a low voice so that only Zhang Feng could hear it.
"It's OK."
Little Wallis wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his head. The lion beastman sitting opposite him made him feel embarrassed.
When everyone was about to compliment him, Delia suddenly glanced at Zhang Feng.
Everyone looked at each other.
The city lord opened the door and saw the soldier who led Zhang Feng and the others to their seats standing outside with an anxious look on his face.
Zhang Feng didn't mind this. He, Malo, Abe and Felix walked at the end.
"Hello!"
Zhang Feng was stunned, but before he could say anything, everyone at the table suddenly spoke in unison: "Greetings, Lord City Lord!"
At this time, on the sixth floor, the city lord finished handling the last official business of the day. She looked up and said to the maid beside her: "Are they all here?"
The soldier shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
His thoughts were racing, but only for a moment. The city lord quickly calmed himself down and then walked over with a calm expression.
I always feel like I'm in trouble.
"This is!"
Zhang Feng said to the youngest son of Earl Wallis across from him, Little Wallis:
Delia looked at the lion beastman who was oblivious to the world around him. She was very upset. She didn't know if the food she prepared today was enough...
When two parties meet, they are naturally polite to each other.
Boom, boom, boom…
Zhang Feng even doubted whether the Delia in the carriage and the Delia at the dining table were the same person.
"Can we start now?"
"Tell me about it."
Everyone looked at Felix the Lion Beastman standing obediently behind Zhang Feng, and someone boldly asked:
However, the City Lord should know about this matter, otherwise the other party would not have come to the City Lord's Mansion so openly.
Delia seemed to have forgotten about Zhang Feng. She ignored him since the meal started and treated Zhang Feng as a transparent person. She even talked to Felix about some trivial issues, but did not speak to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng didn't care much about these, but what he didn't expect was that he was also arranged to sit at the top.
Since this lion beastman was bought in the psychedelic museum, the procedures were legal, and the city defense guard did not participate in the auction. He did not know that the lion beastman was unconscious at the time, so he sent this news to the city lord's mansion as ordinary news.
In Zhang Feng's eyes, these foods can only be described as ordinary, at least they look so. As for how they taste, one would know only after having eaten them.
The City Lord's Mansion is a sprawling castle complex, which becomes increasingly luxurious as you go deeper into the castle. The tallest six-story castle is the residence of the city lord himself.
"Reporting to the Lord City Lord, they are all here."
The city lord? She? Delia?
The City Lord's Mansion has to deal with a lot of news, big and small, every day, and can only pick out the important ones first. Ordinary news like this can only be dealt with later.
The city lord looked annoyed. She said she wanted to scare Zhang Feng, but unexpectedly, she was scared by him instead.
Felix is over three meters tall, with golden hair all over his body and a pair of golden eyes. He is indeed a bit scary, but people are also very curious about him.
"Hmm? No one has any opinions?"
"I was wondering, who designed such a beautiful castle? It turned out to be the Lord of the City! This piece of castle itself is magnificent and splendid, but its design is also eclectic and imaginative. It takes a great foundation to combine so many castles together, and the Lord of the City obviously has it. This kind of temperament of chaos mixed with order, romance and solemnity, can only be designed by the Lord of the City!"
They were all a little confused. Who was this person who was speaking and why was he so arrogant?
"Gulong~"
Hearing what Zhang Feng said, everyone nodded. Those who were about to run away stopped and looked at the lion beastman in surprise.
The gate of the six-story castle has not been opened yet, but because it is surrounded by castles, it is not too cold here. Everyone is talking in a low voice. Suddenly, they feel that the ground seems to be shaking slightly.
"Everyone, please!"
Seeing the figure as big as a hill, the city lord blinked subconsciously.
In fact, Zhang Feng had never participated in aristocratic dinners or the like, so he didn't understand the rules very well. When he invited people to dinner, he was very casual, and sometimes he didn't even show up himself, so there was no rule that if the city lord didn't come, you couldn't eat.
Logically speaking, this orc should be very hostile to humans. After all, it was humans who captured him here, but now there is no trace of hatred at all.
The hall on the first floor of the castle was covered with expensive carpets, and a long table came into view.
The soldiers led everyone inside.
"Everyone, the city lord's banquet is ready, ready..."
"oh……"
Originally, the soldier didn't know why this stranger named Zhang Feng would sit in such a good seat, but when he saw Felix, the lion beastman, who was sitting in the seats for three people, he seemed to understand that this was a big boss! After the soldier divided the seats, he went down directly.
But this person actually complained about both places at once. Does he really not know how to write the word death? Although the city lord is a woman, do you really think that her nickname "Iron-faced City Lord" is self-proclaimed?
"Orcs!"
He never thought that Delia was actually the city lord. Zhang Feng had said a lot of bad things about her in the carriage before, and he said it in front of the real owner! Marlowe also told him that there were many powerful knights nearby, some of whom were not worse than him, Marlowe, which made Zhang Feng feel a little upset.
The lion beastman had a calm expression. It was not the first time he had come into contact with a human being. He was used to this kind of gaze. Moreover, this human was so weak that he did not interest him at all.
Not an illusion!
"Well, clean up here."
"Lord City Lord..."
He doesn't care what others think. Since Zhang Feng tells him to eat, he eats.
"Hey, they're here too? It seems like the city lord is hosting them mainly..."
"Uh-huh?"
You know, the castle and slave market in the city of More are the two masterpieces that the city lord is most proud of. Generally, people who know the city lord a little bit will praise him in front of him intentionally or unintentionally. Even if this cannot get actual rewards from the city lord, it is also good to have a good impression in front of the city lord.
After all, this is an orc, so necessary security work still needs to be done.
After saying that, she looked away from Zhang Feng, as if she didn't care much, but her ears were almost perked up.
On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Felix undoubtedly enjoyed a star-like treatment, which made him feel a little awkward, but because he kept a stern face, no one dared to approach him.
"It's him? He—"
“There are orcs!”
"Do you know what's going on? Why is the city lord suddenly inviting everyone to a banquet?"
Huh? Everyone looked in the direction they came from with puzzled eyes. Before they saw anyone, they heard a complaint.
After all, even they had never seen an orc of such a huge size.
The soldier wanted to talk about the orcs, but he didn't dare to refute the city lord's words and could only nod in agreement.
Felix hummed in response, then started eating as if no one was around.
"yes."
As soon as Delia finished speaking, everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Zhang Feng who had been eating silently. They thought of what Zhang Feng had complained about when he just came. If Zhang Feng said it again, it would be very interesting! Zhang Feng's mind trembled, and he thought to himself, here it comes.
But Zhang Feng knew that the other party definitely had not forgotten him and was definitely planning something bad!
Then they started eating, but perhaps because Delia's aura was too strong, everyone stopped talking and even ate very carefully for fear of making any noise. Of course, the lion-beast man Felix was an exception.
Zhang Feng felt uncomfortable, even like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"Could it be that this year's profits have made a new breakthrough? But if we calculate the time, it should be some time..."
"This... is possible in principle."
"You're welcome, everyone. Let's eat."
Especially the various delicacies on the table made many people swallow their saliva subconsciously.
Of course, this does not include Zhang Feng.
"He is my bodyguard. Don't worry. He won't attack anyone without my order."
"Excuse me, he is..."
Contrary to expectations, his seat did not cause any objection from others.
"Hello... hello!"
The youngest son of Earl Wallis was a little unhappy. Although he had a father who was an earl, he didn't dare to speak ill of the mayor of More City. Why did this guy dare to do that? Just because he was good-looking?
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew by, and Zhang Feng's nose moved, smelling a familiar fragrance.
Suddenly, a sound of swallowing saliva was heard.
Not long after, the city defense guards came over. After all, a swaggering orc appeared in the city of More, and they definitely needed to check it out.
Lord Moore put a lot of effort into preparing this banquet, and many of the items are rare treasures.
But this main seat is the position of the city lord, which is not available to ordinary people. She should know that since she works in the city lord's mansion, or is she the city lord's wife? "I said, we will meet again soon!"
Just when everyone was sighing that this was the one who was not afraid of death, a tall and handsome young man appeared in everyone's sight.
Click~ While everyone was thinking about their own things, the castle gate opened.
In fact, if the steam car could not accommodate Felix, Zhang Feng would not be so high-profile.
After all, the city lord hasn't arrived yet, so it wouldn't be nice for them to start eating right away.
Since the city lord said that he could bring three extra people, Zhang Feng brought three. It would be a waste if he didn’t eat, and he would feel safer this way.
The seats at the banquet are not arranged randomly; they are all arranged in advance. After all, everyone's status is different. In a small sense, it is just a seat. In a big sense, it represents who the host supports more.
Zhang Feng was also stunned when he heard the exclamation. Seeing the group of people in front of him, Zhang Feng felt a little embarrassed. The complaints just now should not have come over, right? However, Zhang Feng was not too worried. Even if someone really complained to the city lord, he would just deny it. It was just a few complaints. The city lord should not be so petty.
If it weren't for this so-called aristocratic etiquette, they would have been unable to hold back.
Zhang Feng actually didn’t know that Felix was in a relatively hungry state, but when he saw the lion beastman swallowing his saliva, he guessed that the other party also wanted to eat.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
"good!"
Everyone: “…”
Delia: “…”
…
