Chapter 415 Family banquet? Hongmen Banquet!

At this time, the carriage ridden by Li Ge and others had already arrived in front of Besare's city gate, preparing to enter the city.

At this time of the evening, there are basically more people entering the city and fewer people leaving the city. After all, few people are willing to travel at night.

For this reason, people entering the city at this time have already formed a line, and are being inspected and reviewed by the guards while entering the city in order.

The queue was not long, but Liz, who rode over, still waited a long time before it was her turn to enter the city.

This is because Besare is a military base. Whether entering or leaving the city, you need to go through far stricter inspections and reviews than other cities.

There are no refugees gathering in this area. I don't know whether it is because it is too close to the border battlefield, or because they are intimidated by the status of Besare Military Base and do not dare to gather here.

Thanks to this, Besare's gatekeepers do not need to focus most of their attention on clearing roads and managing order like Kaludi's gatekeepers, but can focus most of their energy on inspection and review. , which resulted in the slow speed of entering the city.

Fortunately, there were not many people entering the city at this time, so Li Ge and others managed to enter the city before the sun went down.

only………

"...Is that the coat of arms of the Franzel family?"

"...It is indeed the coat of arms of the Marquis Franzel family. It is guaranteed to be genuine."

"Riding in the carriage of Marquis Franzel, the driver is an extremely beautiful girl..."

"There can be no mistake, it's them."

When Liz drove the carriage to the city gate and was inspected by the guards, the guards actually had such a conversation in a low voice.

"Is there any problem?"

Nibald stepped forward on behalf of everyone and showed his face in front of the guard, but he failed to get the answer he wanted.

"It's okay, it's just a little chat between us."

"Please don't mind."

"Are you Master Nibald?"

"Welcome to Besare, Master Nibald, the lord has already given instructions. If you come, you can let him go directly."

"Please come over."

The guards said this while saluting Nibald.

Nibald had no choice but to return to the carriage and let Liz continue to ride forward and enter Besare.

Li Ge was leaning against the wall of the carriage, his eyes shining with transparent luster, looking in the direction of the city gate.

There, the guards continued to check the luggage of people entering the city and scrutinize their identities. It seemed ordinary and nothing unusual.

But Li Ge still discovered that a guard left the city gate and entered the waiting room nearby. He didn't know what he was going to do.

Li Ge stared at this scene intently, and then looked away after a while, letting the transparent luster in his eyes dim.

Under such conditions, the carriage carrying a group of people drove forward and entered a street after a while.

This is a street full of restaurants, pubs and hotels.

The street is located on the east side of Besare. It is the only place in Besare that can receive foreign tourists, so it is called Visitor Street.

All kinds of outsiders settle here. Whether they are eating or staying in a hotel, they cannot do without this Visitor Street.

Among Visitor Street, the most luxurious hotel is located in the center of the street. It has grander specifications and more elegant decoration than the surrounding buildings. You can tell at a glance that it is a very high-end place.

This hotel also has a very peculiar name for a place like this - Peaceful Town.

It can be seen that the owner of the hotel is a very peace-loving person who also yearns for peace and hopes that peace can come. Otherwise, he would not have given such a name to his hotel in such a border battlefield.

"Let's stay here."

Nibald said so.

This seems to be the place where he has decided to live when he decided to come to Besare. Judging from the appearance of him, he must have done some research before setting out to come here, and finally learned about this peaceful town. exist.

"This, here?"

"...It feels like this is not the place we should be."

Both Fanny and Ger winced a little.

Although the two of them were born into a viscount family, the viscount was just one level higher than the baron. In the Akasha continent, he could only be regarded as a minor noble, not a big noble.

Since they are a small aristocracy, the Elisir family cannot be too wealthy. At least they cannot compare with the nouveau riche Hatit family.

Especially since Fanny and Geer had sneaked out this time and didn't have much money with them. If they were allowed to stay in such a high-end hotel, they would naturally be a little bit withdrawn.

"Don't worry, I won't let you two pay for it." Nibod stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "I brought you two here, so I will pay for the expenses. You two can live here with peace of mind. That’s it.”

It is true that Nibald is not a nobleman, but this does not mean that he has no money.

As a highly respected great magician in the magic world, Nibald was actually invited by the royal family more than once, and even by the king himself, who invited him to enter the palace and take up the position of court magician.

It's a pity that Nibald didn't agree, otherwise the chief court magician of the Kingdom of Jinas might not be Yuri, but this master.

It’s not like Nibald had no legitimate income.

He is the top magic advisor of Spreler College. As long as he is named at Spreler College, he will receive a large salary every year.

He has also served as a tutor for many noble families. He only needs to go to their homes to teach a class every once in a while, and he can get an extremely generous reward.

He has also developed many new types of magic, sold magic patents, published books, built a magic research laboratory, and conducted many magic-related research. The profits brought by these activities are unimaginable. Bird was rich as hell.

Many wealthy nobles may not be as rich as Nibod. If Nibod is willing to give up all his property, I am afraid that the royal family will feel a little bit moved.

In this way, he is not short of money at all, at least not short of money than Li Ge. It is extremely easy to pay for the accommodation and food expenses of the two children.

"W-how is this so embarrassing?"

Of course, Fanny and Geer did not dare to accept such a favor casually, and quickly refused.

"It's better for me to help them pay." Li Ge interrupted and said, "I was the one who suggested that they come over. In this case, it is only normal that I should pay for the expenses."

With that said, Li Ge did not give Fanny and Geer a chance to refuse and changed the subject on the spot.

"Your Excellency Jialan was invited here by the Maples family, right? Aren't you going to stay at the Maples family?"

This question elicited a slight smile from Nibald.

"It's better not to do it." Nibald said: "The Mapros family is a military noble responsible for guarding the border after all. There are military secrets everywhere in it. It's better for a wandering crane like me not to settle there."

Li Ge nodded, indicating that he understood.

Only then did the group of people get off the carriage and walk towards the gate of the peaceful town.

However, just as everyone was checking in and preparing to take their luggage to their respective rooms, a man dressed as a butler walked in.

The other party is quite old, probably older than Nibald, who is over sixty years old. He is dressed quite decently and his back is straight. He does not look like an ordinary old man of the same age at all. Instead, he gives people a very imposing appearance. a feeling of.

After entering the peaceful town, the housekeeper glanced around and then focused on Li Ge and his party.

The next second, the opponent came towards this side, with steady steps and nimble moves, and soon he was in front of Li Ge and others.

"His Excellency Lige Brighaut, Master Nibald Jialan."

The man saluted Rige and Nibald.

Everyone stopped immediately.

"Who are you……?"

Nibald made a confused sound.

Li Ge also looked at the old housekeeper, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Just because this old housekeeper is actually a master.

His muscles are solid, his body is full of energy and blood, and the signs of activity in his internal organs are quite strong. He does not feel like an old man at all, but more like a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles.

He did not carry any weapons, but through his insight into the world, Li Ge discovered that the butler had several short knives hidden in his sleeves. Those short knives seemed to be specially made.

Therefore, Li Ge, who looked at the butler several times, was almost certain.

"Even if this person is not a sword master, he is probably not far away from the sword master. At least he will not be worse than the so-called number one sword master from the Borlei family."

Such a master suddenly showed up when they were staying. Naturally, he couldn't just come to say hello.

"I am the butler of the Maples family, my name is Nobon."

The old butler who claimed to be Nobang ignored the slight changes in the expressions of Liz, Andy, Fanny, Geer and others and handed the two invitations to Li Ge and Nibod.

"This is the invitation letter my master asked me to give to your two excellencies. Please accept it."

Hearing this, Li Ge narrowed his eyes and looked calm.

Nibald became a little concerned.

"Your master is Lord Raven Maples, right?" Nibald asked, "What is he planning to do?"

In Nibold's opinion, sending an invitation letter is completely unnecessary.

He was originally invited by Raven to help him investigate the mysterious disappearance, so there was no need to send another invitation letter.

Needless to say, Lige came uninvited and had already become enemies with the Marquis of Mapros. The other party actually sent someone to deliver the invitation letter. It was simply telling others that there was something wrong here.

Such an uncharacteristic approach made Nibod feel a little uneasy.

However, Nobang did not answer Nibald's question, but said so respectfully and uprightly.

"I don't know much about what the Marquis wants."

"The master just said that I must deliver these two invitations to your Excellencies."

"As for other things, I don't know."

After saying that, Nobang saluted Li Ge and Nibod again.

"Now, the invitation letter has been sent and the task below has been completed. Please allow me to take my leave first."

After leaving such words, Nuobang left very gracefully.

"Owner……"

Liz immediately came forward and grabbed Li Ge's clothes with a worried look on her face.

"grandfather!"

Andy also felt a little uneasy. He pulled Nibald's robe and raised his little head, as if he wanted to see the invitation in his hand.

Fanny and Geer stayed where they were, feeling that something big was about to happen, and they were a little at a loss.

Even Nibald stared at the invitation in his hand, his eyes uncertain.

Only Li Ge opened the invitation letter directly in front of everyone present and read the contents inside.

The content inside was unexpectedly simple and clear. It was to tell Rige that the Maples family would hold a family dinner tonight, and important people in the family would be present. I hope Rige would also appreciate it.

"Family dinner?"

Li Ge curled his lips and smiled.

I'm afraid this is not a family banquet, but a Hongmen banquet, right?

Nibald obviously had the same idea and frowned deeply.

"It seems that Lei Wenqing has indeed known about Master Offilit, and is planning to ask Mr. Brighaut to accuse you." Nibald said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, based on my treatment of that person, Understand that he wouldn’t invite others to their family’s family banquet for no reason like this.”

Nibald and Raven were not close friends, but they were also old friends who had quite a relationship.

Therefore, Nibod knew very well what kind of temperament this Zhenguan Sword Master had.

"Your Excellency Brighaut." Nibald said to Rige: "It's actually too late for you to leave now."

It was obvious that Nibald had seen the results of this so-called family dinner and wanted to advise Rige to avoid an unnecessary conflict.

"Let me go see Lei Wenqing first. Lei Wenqing and I have a history. As long as I come forward, Lei Wenqing will definitely be willing to listen to my mediation."

Nibald suggested.

However, Li Ge just collected the invitation letter.

"What kind of gift do you think it would be better for me to bring?" Li Ge said calmly: "Since people have invited me to attend their family banquet, it doesn't seem to make sense if I don't bring some gifts, right?"

"In this case, I will bring over the head of the eldest young master of the Hatit family."

"In the evening, I will take it to visit the Zhenguan Sword Master. What do you think?"

Although Li Ge said these words in a calm tone, it was filled with a sense of oppression that the storm was about to come.

Liz, Andy, Fanny, and Geer all shuddered.

"Don't!"

Nibald was even more frightened, and quickly stopped him, smiling bitterly.

"I understand, I won't stop you, okay?"

He knew that Li Ge was telling him in disguise, stop giving meaningless advice.

Li Ge and Raven, two contemporary sword masters, this tense first meeting has become a foregone conclusion.

Nibald looked at the falling dusk, imagining the situation when night came, and felt worried in his heart.

Hopefully things won't get too bad.

I hope...
