The main door of the Rhine family is not often opened, but there is a side door next to the family.
At this time, the large area in front of the side door was filled with carriages, and it was very lively with people coming and going. The main door seemed a little desolate, but the sense of ceremony was quite strong. Two rows of soldiers stood upright, showing the majesty of the Rhine family.
When Dole and Ash arrived, Wayne had been waiting at the door for a long time. Standing next to Wayne was Anderson. What surprised Dole was that Jasmine was also next to Wayne, as if she represented the Marcia family.
Carol from the Lei family and Jefferson from the Langt family were also prominently present. In addition, there were also some patriarchs of second-rate families, all standing behind them, staring at Dole eagerly.
Dole really came.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Dolai would most likely only stay for a short while before leaving, he was the master of the city after all, and everyone had to act under his thumb and become familiar with him.
Dole's return is also a signal that he is coming back.
Seeing Dolai coming over, everyone came forward to greet him warmly.
Ashley looked at Wayne and said to Monica, "Call someone. This is Grandpa Wayne, Mom's uncle."
When Wayne came up, Monica said obediently, "Grandpa Wayne."
Wayne looked at Monica and thought, the child is so big now, time flies.
He said somewhat embarrassedly, "My dear granddaughter, okay, okay, this is a gift." He wanted to take out something.
At this time, he found that he couldn't lift his hands, so he looked up at Dolai.
Duolai looked around and said calmly, "I'm just visiting today. I won't accept any gifts. Let's be frugal."
He looked around, bowed slightly to everyone, and said, "You are all my elders, I won't be polite here, please go in, we can talk about it at the banquet."
Hearing this, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief.
The rumor that Duolai has a good temper has been around for a long time. He is easy to talk to, but most people don't dare to act rudely in front of Duolai, because more than a dozen level seven monsters have told them with their own lives that this is a powerful disaster-level warrior and they dare not act rudely in front of him.
Monica was standing next to Dole at this time, looking around, her eyes full of curiosity. She was not afraid either, she quietly held Dole's hand and looked around.
There were only adults here, no children, and she didn't know who to talk to, so she could only watch quietly.
Brian, who was in Ash's arms, became shy when he saw so many people around.
A group of people, surrounded by Dole's family of four, walked into the Rhine family.
Soon they came to a large courtyard, which was exquisitely decorated with corridors, pavilions and towers. It made people feel very comfortable and peaceful at first glance.
At this time, the yard was full of people. The corridors, open spaces, and gardens were all full of people. Nobles and warriors of all ranks, familiar and unfamiliar people, all looked towards the door.
The city lord who had not been seen for a long time came, and everyone was looking at him.
This patron saint of the Alps is like a mountain, standing above everyone's head, protecting them from wind and rain, so no one would disrespect Dole.
When Dole walked in, everyone took off their hats and greeted him, demonstrating aristocratic etiquette to the extreme.
The yard was quiet. No one spoke. Everyone was looking in the direction of Duolai. Those who could see and those who couldn't see were all looking in the same direction.
It feels a little weird.
Duolai was a little helpless. What's the big deal? He just hadn't been here for a long time. Was there any need to exaggerate like that?
However, Ashe next to him looked normal and kept nodding to the people he knew around him.
Dole waved his hand in greeting, and soon they crossed the garden and came to the door of a huge palace-like hall at the back of the courtyard.
At this time, people outside were doing what they were supposed to do, some were drinking, some were trying to connect with each other, some were very excited, some were very calm, and it started to become noisy outside.
Wayne walked to the door of the living room and breathed a sigh of relief. Dole didn't resist, which was much better than before. He smiled and said, "Marquis Dole, those outside are all young talents from various noble families, as well as some outstanding young people from our Albis City, businessmen, and some well-known warriors. Some wizards wanted to come, but they were all blocked by the deputy leader. Otherwise, there would be more people."
The corner of Dolai's mouth twitched. He looked ahead and saw that the low-key and luxurious hall was now full of people. Inside were the top leaders of the Albis Mountains and their descendants.
There are really a lot of people.
However, it seems that this hall can only accommodate a few thousand people. Considering the current population of Albis City of 100,000, it is really not a lot.
He nodded and said, "I didn't expect that my first time back would be so grand. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come."
Wayne and Anderson's faces suddenly changed. It had long been known that Dole didn't like crowds, and there were indeed too many people this time.
Anderson quickly apologized with a smile, "This time you haven't been back for a long time, so more people want to come. It won't happen next time. We didn't expect you to bring two children with you. Otherwise, we would have brought the children with us so that they can get close to each other."
This is something they didn't take into account.
Duolai nodded and said, "Forget it this time. Don't do it on such a large scale next time. I just came out to relax and don't want to worry about anything. The situation outside is very chaotic now. I may not have the energy to deal with internal affairs. If I have to participate in everything, what should others do? What should you do?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
At this time, Ivy came out to help them out. "Dole, we haven't seen you for a long time. We wanted to see you. There's nothing special about it. Everything in the city is running normally now. You don't need to worry too much."
Several people responded quickly, sweat almost oozing out of their foreheads.
Although Dolai did not use the authority of the city lord or the wizard, several people were still very scared.
A seventh-level wizard is someone who can destroy a city with just a single move.
Dolai nodded and said, "Then let's not talk too much, let's go in."
After that, the group stepped into the hall.
The hall then took the initiative to clear some space to let a few people go in, and everyone inside looked at Duolai in unison.
Dolai did not come alone, he brought his family of four. Seeing this, everyone knew what it meant. They came to have fun, not to talk about anything. Some people's other thoughts were forgotten, and they just had an ordinary banquet.
The people in the hall were all high-ranking officials of Albis Mountain. Dolai was too embarrassed to get angry directly, so he walked and chatted with them about ordinary things and quickly walked inside.
Wayne, as the person in charge, came in at this time, breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and indicated that everything should proceed as usual.
