Chapter 649 Dinner
"Come here, keep an eye on him secretly and don't miss any of his moves. If he really wants to hide the space ring, then bring it back."
After Cohen left, the hooded figure called the guards and gave them orders in an orderly manner.
"Also, go to the warehouse and get a standard anti-magic collar and put it on our little guest who is still sleeping. This will prevent him from struggling too violently when being loved by adults and accidentally hurting himself."
When everything was done, the hooded figure walked out of the dark basement, and then took off the thick disguise, restoring his true appearance as the city master.
"Humph, the vision of a small person is just this level after all."
Disdaining Cohen's previous performance, the butler returned to report to the city lord while thinking about Anvis's possible origins.
Blonde hair and blue eyes are a common combination among the nobles of the major kingdoms in the Itel Federation. Anvis had adjusted his appearance in advance and did not carry anything to prove his identity.
Therefore, even the knowledgeable butler could not determine Anvis's specific identity for a while. He could only roughly infer from Anvis's clothing style that he was a minor noble from the Kingdom of Loran in the central and western part of the Federation.
However, according to his guess, Anvis's real purpose was that he was being hunted for some reason and had to escape from his family, so he planned to seek refuge in the Gloria Empire.
He knew very well that although the 'Good Place' tavern was just an informal tavern on the surface, it was actually run by a human smuggler who helped people sneak into the empire for a fee.
Since the other party was quite strong and paid enough taxes, even though he knew the other party's identity, they were always at peace.
"My Lord, I have checked. The identity of this 'Canary' cannot be confirmed for the time being, but it is certain that she is not the descendant of a nearby noble. Her appearance is rare and perfect, which should be enough to satisfy you."
Entering the city lord's study, the butler lowered his head slightly and reported respectfully facing the desk.
Although it may seem a little strange that the city lord does not care about gender, no matter how strange the master's taste is, a servant should not show any doubt.
"very good……"
Behind the wide desk, the Lord of Longying City, who looked like a middle-aged wealthy aristocrat, stopped writing with the feather pen in his hand and finally looked up.
"Kebras, get ready. There will be an important banquet tonight. Unlike the past, this time there will be big shots from the large kingdoms of the Federation and the Gloria Empire secretly present.
Be sure to prepare all hospitality items to the highest standards and try to satisfy all guests! "
"My Lord... this schedule may be a little tight."
Frowning slightly, the butler expressed his concern with careful words.
"The confidentiality level of this gathering is very high, Cobras. I just received the news."
Sighing, the city lord rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and his reddish-brown curly hair was a little messy.
"Okay, that's it. Now bring up the canary you just caught. I want to check it out myself. If there's nothing wrong with it, take it with you as one of the treats for tonight's party."
"Your will, my lord."
Knowing that the city lord had made a decision, the butler bowed and quickly left the study. He began to order the servants to make urgent preparations according to past experience, and at the same time upgraded all arrangements to the highest level.
At the same time, he personally rushed to the basement and brought the reawakened Anvis to the city lord's study.
"Welcome to Dragon Shadow City, my dear young lord. I hope you don't mind the way my subordinates rescued you from the slave traders. After all, it's impossible for servants to do things perfectly."
After taking a careful look at Anvis's appearance, a hint of pleasure flashed across the city lord's face, and he seemed very satisfied with the quality this time.
He saw through Avis's true strength at a glance. He was only at the second level. His foundation was solid, but it was meaningless.
Moreover, the face of the young man in front of him did not match any of the nobles he knew. This meant that the other party was either from a faraway place or from some unknown small family.
"Hello, I am Rig of the Typhon family, from the Emerald City of the Kingdom of Loran. Your Excellency, I am very grateful for your help, but I wonder if you could help me untie this collar."
Facing the city lord's "welcome", the young man responded with a forced calm tone, but there was inevitably a hint of "panic" in the depths of his eyes.
Although this trace of panic seemed to be concealed in the next moment, in the eyes of the city lord, this was just Avis pretending to be calm, and his playful smile became even more intense.
"Unfortunately, I cannot meet your request. Because I spent three thousand gold coins to buy you from those merchants.
But as a fellow noble, I can give you a chance. Tonight, I have an important party, and you need to entertain the guests and meet all their requests.
If you can find someone you know in the process and let him promise to redeem you, then congratulations, you are free. But if not, then unfortunately, you will become my personal property! "
The greedy and obscene gaze roamed around Avis as if it were real, and the city lord waved his hand.
"Now, take him down and let him face the reality of the situation." . ….….Soon , it was night.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the City Lord's Mansion was lit up with brilliant lights. Accompanied by grand but subtly decadent music, various carriages and constructed vehicles drove into the City Lord's Mansion.
One by one, guests dressed in luxurious clothes but wearing various masks came in, passed through the gate that seemed to lead to heaven and exuded endless light and fragrance, and plunged into the carnival feast of tonight.
The residents nearby have become accustomed to this, as the city lord often organizes such banquets for entertainment.
In one of the gorgeous carriages, Shuster, the deputy commander of the Spark resistance organization, was explaining the purpose of this trip to Roche, Matt, and Alyssa, who are currently middle-level members of the Spark.
“The enemy of my enemy is our friend. If we want to overthrow the ruling class of the Gloria Empire, we must temporarily cooperate with one of them in order to truly intervene in the civil war of the empire.
The four ducal families of the empire have been entrenched for a long time. In thousands of years of development, they are stronger than the marquises in terms of foundation and strength. They represent the vested interests in this civil war and are our natural enemies.
I have received secret intelligence that representatives of the Gloria Empire's marquises will secretly attend tonight's banquet to discuss cooperation with the federation's forces that are interested in intervening in the civil war in the empire.
The marquises need more foreign aid to end the current situation of the empire being ruled by four major families.
There are not many forces that are qualified to receive this news, but this is a rare opportunity. For our support, the marquises of the empire will certainly be willing to pay a higher price."
Forced to update twice, damn...
