31, the dinner begins
After the dinner started, the castle hall immediately turned into a sea of joy.
Some people were dancing on the dance floor, and some were singing along with the band, but most of them were nobles standing in the middle of the venue chatting with wine glasses.
Sean knew that no noble would come to chat with him, so he led Windsor towards the dining table.
In fact, he is more interested in the food here than socializing.
There were very few people near the dining table. After all, the dinner party is a social place. Everyone was busy socializing and accumulating contacts. Basically, few people came to eat. They just chatted with a glass of red wine.
The food on the table was very sumptuous. After all, it was a dinner prepared by Earl River, and it was considered to be the highest-end dinner among all the dinners in the entire Principality of Lane.
Although there are many types of food, the presentation of some dishes is unflattering and looks strange. Sean has no desire to eat after just one glance.
For example, there are some odd-shaped vegetable platters, a pot of bubbling dark green porridge, and a dish with four fish heads stuck on a flatbread. It is really amazing to see.
I'm almost full.
Of course, in addition to these dishes that Sean did not dare to eat, there were also many normal-looking barbecues, pasta, fish, cheese and ham on the table.
Sean was not polite, he took a plate and put some of each dish he wanted to eat like a buffet, and then sat down in the corner of the hall with Windsor with the plate and started eating.
...
After tasting, Sean found that most of the pasta and ham at the dinner were not very tasty and the seasonings were poor.
But the barbecue here is still very good, the meat is particularly delicate, it should be the highest-end meat, and some of the meat, which is suspected to be Warcraft, is particularly chewy, which makes Sean enjoy eating it.
While eating barbecue, Sean did not forget to chat quietly with Windsor.
"Wendsor, did you go to investigate the four major mercenary groups in Jon City today?"
"Of course, after I left the alley this morning, I found out the location of the mercenary union nearby..."
While eating the food he chose, Windsor whispered to Sean what he saw and heard when he went to the Mercenary Guild.
The tavern waiter's suggestion to join the group, the grievances and hatreds of the four mercenary captains, and the reactions of the tavern bystanders were all described by Windsor.
After hearing Windsor's story, Sean fell into thinking.
When Windsor saw Sean starting to think, he didn't rush him, but just ate the food on his own.
After a while, Sean said: "The leader of Dark Golden Rose you mentioned is very beautiful and feminine, right?"
Windsor, who was eating barbecue, almost choked when he heard Sean's words.
After swallowing the roasted meat in his mouth, Windsor said slowly: "That's not the point!"
"Of course I know that's not the point, don't get excited." Sean smiled, "The point is that Silver Hourglass actually rejected us, which I really didn't expect.
It seems that what Bishop Benjamin said about ‘the church will not give up on its Son’ was completely deceiving me, and now I have become an abandoned son of the church.”
"What 'Holy Son'? How did we become abandoned children again?" Windsor was confused when he heard this.
"Oh, the thing is like this, this morning I went to the Holy Light Church of Yoen and met Bishop Benjamin..." Sean also recounted what he experienced this morning to Windsor.
After hearing Sean's experience, Windsor muttered: "It seems that the Holy Light Church has indeed abandoned us, otherwise it would not have ordered Silver Hourglass to refuse our employment."
"But this is good, so that we will not be tied to their chariot by the Holy Light Church." Sean took a big bite of the barbecue and said while chewing, "Otherwise, in the future, the church will have an open war with the church, and the church will be
We must be played to death between us and the Grand Duke!"
"You are right, there are advantages and disadvantages. Without the Silver Hourglass, we can still find other mercenary groups. In fact, they are the same." Windsor agreed with Sean's point of view.
At this time, Sean had eaten too much barbecue and felt very tired, so he said to Windsor: "I'm going to pour some blueberry juice and I'll be back later."
Windsor did not answer, but continued to eat the barbecue.
...
When Sean went to pour the blueberry juice, he also glanced at the dance floor on the right side of the hall. The most dazzling person on the dance floor at this time was of course the peak gold-level warrior Lucas. At this time, he was dancing with a noble lady in his arms.
Dance, the lady's face was flushed and she looked very intoxicated.
At this time, Earl River was holding an instrument that looked like a pipa and a guitar and kept playing it, as if he was giving music to the dancing Lucas. When he played the instrument, the people around him were naturally applauding.
sound.
Jessica, the daughter of Earl River, was also surrounded by many people, but most of them were people of the same age between 16 and 20 years old.
There were two female companions standing on both sides of Jessica, who should be her best friends, but opposite her stood three or four young people about the same age as her, who kept using words to please her, and one even used
Magic tricks to make her happy.
But think about it, after all, Jessica is the designated heir of the Earl of River, and there is no better chance of advancement in the city of Yonn than gaining Jessica's favor. The behavior of these young people is indeed normal.
Sean looked at Jessica in the distance and thought about the administrator he met in the library. The more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, so he couldn't help but take a second look.
Jessica seemed to have noticed Sean's gaze and smiled meaningfully at him.
The few aristocratic children in front of Jessica naturally noticed her smile and turned their heads angrily in the direction of Sean.
But when they saw clearly that the target of Jessica's smile was Sean, their anger disappeared instantly and they turned their faces away, pretending they didn't see it.
Sean naturally noticed Jessica's charming smile. Although he didn't understand the meaning of Jessica's smile, he didn't take it seriously.
After helping Windsor pour a glass of blueberry juice, Sean returned to the table where he had just eaten with two glasses of blueberry juice.
...
"It's for you." Sean handed a glass of blueberry juice to Windsor.
"Thank you!" Windsor took a big sip of the blueberry juice, "I see you've been staring at that girl over there. Are you infatuated with her?"
Hearing Windsor's words, Sean, who was drinking blueberry juice, choked directly, "Ahem, what are you thinking about? How can you fall in love with it at first sight?"
"Then why did you stare at her for so long?" Windsor laughed.
Seeing that the description was getting darker and darker, Sean quickly changed the topic: "Let's continue talking about the mercenary group. According to you, we will hire the Flame Cross mercenary group?"
"I'm just telling you what I saw and heard. It's up to you to decide which mercenary group to use." Windsor said sternly.
"Then I choose Dark Golden Rose?"
