It All Starts with the Wizard

That night, the Jones family announced that a banquet held by Miss Diana will be held tomorrow night. The venue will be in a manor of the Jones family in the outskirts. The banquet invited almost all the aristocrats and grandmasters of Ilot. Merchants, even the heads of some knights are also inviting.

These knights are similar to Bart’s knights. They are not part of the official empire. They are more like mercenaries. They usually rely on taking over some guard jobs or assisting the knights to encircle and suppress thieves to maintain their operations. Almost all had to pick up some casual jobs everywhere.

　　The members of these knights are generally eliminated when participating in the official knights selection, or are formed by retired old knights, and their combat effectiveness is pitiful.

The invitation to the banquet caused a lot of trouble in Ilot. The quality of the Jones family’s banquet is quite high. Although Diana’s family has been ostracized within the family, they still cannot deny their status in Ilot. , Especially when Diana sends out an invitation in the name of the Jones family, no one will easily refuse.

　　 For many people, this banquet is definitely the best time to accumulate contacts. If you are lucky enough to be appreciated by a certain nobleman, wouldn’t it be smooth in the future?

For a time, many little nobles and small businessmen who were not invited started to run around, trying to get a banquet invitation, or begging friends who have invitations to bring their own, and even the black market began to resell them. After the invitation, the price is as high as two hundred gold coins, which is almost a year's income of some small businessmen, but it is not known whether the invitation is true or not.

In the evening of the next day, one after another gorgeous carriages stopped at the entrance of the manor one after another. A large number of servants rushed back and forth, and the exquisite snacks and drinks were carried into the banquet hall, with a graceful appearance. The dancers danced to the melodious music, and Diana, accompanied by several maids, stood at the door to greet the guests, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

　　 Roman stood in front of the window of the guest room on the third floor, dangling a cigar and calmly watching the lively scene below. He didn't plan to appear at the banquet tonight, it was not the time yet.

Soon, most of the guests have entered the banquet hall. Diana stepped onto the stage and began to make some polite speeches with a smile. She was very charming tonight with her long golden hair curled up on her head and a dazzling crystal pendant. Hanging down to her slender neck, her waist is more slender and slender, set off by a red pleated lily dress.

Everyone’s eyes were attracted by Diana. The men marveled at her charm, while the women secretly became jealous. No one noticed. In the shadows of the corners of the beams in the hall, there were a few sparrows standing quietly. The black crow, Roman's left eye was pitch black, and he was watching everything in the hall through the eyes of the curtain crow.

After the speech, the guests began to chat with each other in groups with drinks. Many beautifully dressed ladies or ladies were surrounded by a few well-mannered men. They may not be too long. He is handsome, but in Illot, he is definitely a little powerful.

Even Fatty Jin came to the banquet at Roman’s instruction. His purpose was to accumulate some contacts. Fatty Jin wore an obviously tight Dabrit-style oversized coat tonight, and his waistband was crimped tightly. Tight and difficult to bind the fat on his belly, and leave a deep mark on his belly, which looks a little funny.

However, there are many noble grandfathers like him in the field, so they are not conspicuous at all. On the contrary, many small businessmen who have never seen the world mistakenly think that he is also a prominent noble grandfather, and one by one, please come forward to him. As he talked, Fatty Jin looked calm and calm, and put on a high attitude of being indifferent to deal with a few people at will, without any consciousness of being confused at all.

Roman's gaze fell on the young man on the other side of the hall. This man was Cohen Wilson, a collateral of the Brilliant family. Although it was a collateral, the name of the Brilliant family attracted several well-dressed daughters. Miss, Cohn is also talking to them with a smile on his face. He seems to have a good deal of coaxing girls. He didn't say a few words, and he caused a few girls to smile, and his arm was already on one of the girls. On the waist, stroking up and down.

　　 However, Roman still noticed that his gaze would fall on Diana's graceful figure in the field from time to time, and a faint trace of licentiousness and greed flashed in his eyes. Seeing this, the corner of Roman's mouth evoked a sneer.

On the other side of the banquet hall, an elegant middle-aged man was talking happily with Diana. He had a neatly neatly arranged silver-gray short hair, and his blue eyes showed a melancholy look. Although he is nearly fifty years old, his well-maintained skin makes him look the same as his forties, which is the most attractive age for men.

　　 This person is called Lucius, he is a famous nobleman in Ilot, thanks to his handsome appearance and distinguished family, he is the dream lover of many noble ladies, and some people secretly call him Sir White Horse.

However, he also has another identity, that is, he is behind the scenes of controlling 80% of the Illot slave trade. Duncan and Benson are his subordinates. These things are difficult for ordinary people to know, but for some upper echelons As far as the nobles are concerned, it is not a secret, because they have a cooperative chain between them that is not humane, and the Jones family also happens to form a link in this cooperative chain.

But at this moment, there is another person watching the white horse jazz again. When Cohen's gaze wandered all the way, and finally fell to the white horse jazz hand holding Diana's waist, his gaze revealed a trace. Undetectable resentment and jealousy.

　　 While he was talking eagerly with the ladies next to him, while cursing the shameless dog and man with the most vicious words in his heart, his Yu Guang suddenly saw a small dark figure.

"What is that? What seems to be on Diana's shoulders~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Doubtful in her heart, Coen squinted his eyes and took a closer look. When he saw the doll lying on Diana's shoulders, he found that The doll's eyes were like a black hole, and they were watching him. The people around him, even Sir Lucius, who was opposite her, didn't seem to have seen this weird doll at all.

At this moment, there was a burst of grinning laughter in his ears, and then his gaze suddenly became sluggish, but soon, he returned to normal again, he moved his gaze away and stopped looking at Diana, and continued to talk to him. Several female companions talked and laughed.

　　Everything is so natural, even the female partner who has been following him closely hasn't noticed anything wrong.

The banquet went smoothly, the sky was completely dark as everyone talked and laughed, the lights in the banquet hall began to become a little dim, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became ambiguous, and many people were holding their arms around their favorites. The female companion went to the room upstairs, and some of them simply stood in the shadows out of the light.

At this time, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside Roman’s door, and then a squeak, an equally graceful figure pushed the door and walked in. She sat on the sofa next to Roman, lifting her long red hair hanging in front of her. I lit a lady's cigar, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to him:

　　 "Mysterious Mr. Merlin, the banquet is about to end, and the things you promised seem to have not been completed yet."

　　Roman was not surprised by the visitor at all, but said meaningfully:

　　 "Don't worry, Ms. Kailin Jones, give you a little more patience. I assure you that tonight will be an unforgettable night for many people."
