Facing this pretended enthusiasm of the viscount, the guests in the hall stood up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and praised the host's generosity and honor.

Although everyone was more or less confused, they still maintained the etiquette in daily banquets on the surface, complimented and congratulated each other, saying that the harvest this year was not bad, and everyone could live a polite way.

Looking at the various expressions of the people in the hall, Mo Ruo Viscount was not surprised. He was not the kind of person who was keen on socializing, so he didn't expect these people to have much true feelings. Today his purpose was just to get key people to attend.

Walking down the ladder, the viscount greeted guests and exchanged a few simple greetings, which was a familiarity and closer relationship.

"Is this Miss Mesia? Please forgive my previous negligence." After walking by a few guests, Mo Ruo greeted the officer, he walked over to the peerless girl in the hall. He originally chatted with Lolan Hill to leave tactfully.

After bent down and saluted, Viscount Moruo looked at the girl in black and red dress nearby. It has to be said that even by his harsh standards, this girl could be said to be flawless. Especially her neck as delicate as a swan, it was really fascinating.

Even the man who is quite old and has rich experience is so fascinated by me, the others in the hall are probably even more fascinated.

Viscount Moruo was a little surprised by this accident, but fortunately it was not enough to break his original plan.

"You can ask, what family does Miss Mesia come from? A girl like you must have noble blood." To be cautious, Viscount Moruo wanted to test it.

"Sorry, this is a secret." Lorran Hill raised his glass, covered his face lightly, and uttered these words from his mouth.

This is what Lotti taught her. Girls have many advantages in the interactions between nobles. Even if you don’t say it intentionally, others will not make things difficult for you. Instead, they will think that this is a kind of reserve that makes people more interested. I have to say that the world is really unfair.

"That's so regretful." Viscount Moruo sighed, and then talked to Lolan Hill about literature, customs and customs. Seeing that he could not get any special information, he had to give up at this moment because there were more important things to do.

When the banquet gradually entered the middle, everyone ate some food and became familiar with each other. Most people praised the food prepared at the banquet, which was very delicious. It can be seen that Viscount is a person who knows how to live.

However, compared to the most pleasant people, Lorran Hill, who was sitting beside him, was a little distressed, because another neatly dressed officer came towards her.

The imperial officer was handsome, wearing a military uniform with dark red colors, with golden embroidery thread on the collar, buttons and cuffs, and rose emblems on the chest, which symbolized that they belonged directly to the royal family and their identity were glorious.

"I think I must have seen Miss Mesia somewhere." The officer raised his wine glass and spoke so happily as soon as he came forward, naturally.

"This may be a misunderstanding."

"I don't think so, because a beautiful girl like you is always unforgettable for a lifetime." He praised the girl with skillful words. If it were other girls, he might fall into this handsomeness and enthusiasm.

"Thank you for your praise." Lorran Hill did not refute, and therefore did not give the other party a chance to answer.

"I want to invite Miss Mesia to dance with you. Can you please give me a look?" Seeing that the girl was still unmoved, the officer had to invite her directly.

"Sorry, I don't want to dance tonight."

The girl refused again, and it was not until then that the officer left. Her pace was no longer as calm as before, and she became much slower. She seemed to be still savoring her actions just now and looking for possible interests of the girl.

After saying hello to many guests, Viscount Moruo stood in the center of the hall again. He patted his hands gently, and asked the band in the hall to pause the performance, and then attracted everyone's attention.

"I'm very happy and I've become familiar with everyone. It's my honor to have so many friends coming tonight."

"My Lord Mo Ruo praised it too much." Some of the guests below also praised it.

"However, if you invite everyone today, there is actually another thing that I want to ask everyone for help. I wonder if you can take some time to let me explain it in detail."

Then he clapped his palms again, and the waiters in the hall began to leave, and the band members also left one by one, until finally, only Viscount and guests were left in the hall.

"Click——" The door of the hall was gently closed, and at this moment, only the windows on both sides were open a little, and the night wind slowly came out, swaying the candlelight in the hall.

"I think everyone is curious about why these servants are removed. In fact, this is related to what I will say next."

"Instead of trusting those lowly people, I trust more to everyone who participated in my banquet, so here I will explain what happened recently." He paused his throat and stood his scepter in front of him, standing like a crutch.

"Recently, many monsters have appeared in the surrounding forests, and everyone has heard of this."

"Why are this happening rarely heard in other regions, but only there are so many local areas, and many of them are new."

"This is because there is a ruin in the forest not far from the city. The magic power penetrates out and affects the surrounding creatures." After he finished speaking, the guests below were surprised. This was an amazing secret.

"This ruin is also a secret of our family, because in the distant past, my ancestors built the ruins, but unfortunately as time goes by, many inheritances have been broken. To this day, our family only knows that this ruins are probably nearby, and they don't even know what is burying inside."

"In order to understand the secrets of inheritance, our family has made great preparations, inquiry, investigation, excavation, etc. It was not until my generation that I finally had hope of knowing the secret."

"But unfortunately, such a beautiful wish has been broken now."

"A shameful thief stole the key props to open the ruins, which made me angry and helpless, and even implicated everyone. He was sealed in the city and lived a uncomfortable life." He bowed and apologized, and such behavior made many locals feel favorable.

Although Viscount Moruo did not bring any benefits or changes to the people, compared with other greedy and harsh nobles, this person is really easy to get along with. Everyone has been safe for many years, just need to pay more taxes occasionally.

"After waiting for several days, I tried every way to recover this key treasure, but unfortunately, I still failed."

"In order to avoid accidents in the future and let outsiders take the lead in the family's ruins, I had to open this secret that had been passed down for thousands of years in advance. But I can't complete such behavior alone, so I need everyone's strength to help."

"I know that these alone cannot force everyone. So I specially prepared a generous reward for this." After saying that, he tapped the scepter on the ground. After a while, the door behind the hall opened and the butler pushed the dining cart out.

The curtain on the dining car was unveiled, and what was presented to everyone was stacks of shiny extraordinary gold coins, and a little jewelry was placed aside, which made people dazzled.

"These are just early rewards. After the ruins are excavated, I will also divide 30% of the treasures into them to everyone." He once again gave a big news.

After saying that, a loud conversation sounded in the hall.

"So generous? It's unbelievable."

"I always feel that this is not that simple."

"But someone gives away money for free, it seems good."

"Or, we should go and see as he wants, and I don't think he dares to do anything to us. Once something happens to us here, the legions stationed in the province will send people over immediately."

"Besides, there are many people with noble identities among the guests here. Is Viscount dared to have any bad ideas?" As he said that, he looked at Lolan Hill.

After waiting for the communication among the people in the hall to finish, everyone probably had plans in their minds.

"Because there is a restriction at the entrance of the ruins, everyone needs to work together to destroy and untie it. After entering it, everyone needs to explore the maze-like structures. These require everyone's cooperation." Viscount Mo Ruo explained again, but at this time someone in the hall began to raise his hands and express different opinions.

"Master Mo Ruo, I am just an ordinary businessman in the city. Maybe I can't help you in this operation." The speaker was a local businessman. He keenly sensed the danger and was ready to retreat.

"It turns out it's Mr. Difung. I know your concerns, but this does not affect it. You don't need to enter the ruins at that time, just wait outside."

"In fact, many of us do not have combat strength. I know this. The reason why we asked us to come is not entirely to understand the remains, and we also want to ask everyone to be a witness."

"If I were only invited to a small number of people, I'm afraid some people would be worried that I would go back on my word, but with you fair gentlemen here, I think others can feel much more at ease." His words were considered to relieve some people's doubts.

Seeing that Viscount Mo Ruo said this, the others were not able to refute him for a while, so they gradually became quiet.

"I would like to ask Lord Mo Ruo, if treasures are found in the ruins, how should they be distributed?" The man from Dongfang picked up his wine glass and asked.

"Everyone will get 30% of them. If there is something our family needs, I will pay extra gold coins as compensation for recycling. Of course, the price is probably the same as the market price, and it will not deduct everyone."

"So that's it, I understand." Although he didn't believe that he could do it completely, Yan Liuyan stopped asking at this time. He would not let go easily if he really got the right treasure.

"If you find something special, sir, you should be clear about some conventions and rules. Some things cannot be kept by individuals." An officer sat at the round table and asked calmly.

"I will check such things. If they are true, I will report them to the royal family or the wise." Viscount Moruo's answer was completely unscathed, but as for whether it is believed, it is another matter.

Next, Mo Ruo answered a few more questions, and then he clapped his hands and calmed everyone down again.

"Then let's set off now, time is not waiting for anyone."

After saying that, he walked forward and led everyone to the open space in the middle of the castle. The soldiers holding torches had been waiting for a long time.

Soon after, a long team of fire dragons began to wind through the forest and walk into the depths of the forest.

Riding on a horse and looking at the long queue behind, the figures were vaguely visible in the flames. Viscount Mo Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The first step was successfully completed.

After the little ball of the Holy White disappeared, he slept extremely hard every night, fearing that someone would take this thing, so he opened the door to the ruins in advance, took away the precious thing he had been looking forward to for decades, and made him a joke.

But even though he knew that the remains might have been stolen, he could not send anyone to guard it. It would undoubtedly be a way to tell the small organizations that there were good things hidden underground here.

He could not send someone to guard him, and he did not have the key to open the door. In such a dilemma, he could only choose to break the deadlock early, find a group of people, and break the door together, so that he would not lose everything while waiting.

Fortunately, no one knows what is buried under this ruin, and his words just now are also directing wealth, just asking everyone not to discover it in a short time. As for what happens after you get it, he has many ways to solve it. If it really doesn't work, can you go to sea? If you stay away from the empire, you won't know where he will go.

Recalling the plan in my mind again, Viscount Moruo moved forward again, surrounded by a group of guards, towards the steep area of ​​the back mountain.

Lorran Hill sat on the back of the horse, and Miss Charin was driving the horse in front of her. She poked her head out and looked forward curiously.

She didn't expect that this party would happen. This viscount was so bold and dared to play a surprising card to break the situation in this way.

Since the key to the door was lost, I might as well give up some of the treasures, tie everyone to their own chariots, and break the deadlock together. Faced with such a team, the small organizations peeping around felt very difficult and difficult to deal with.

You should know that this team not only includes local celebrities, nobles, etc., but also powerful officers and adventurers. Now they have suddenly gathered together. Even if organizations like "Fire Eye Warbler" get news, they cannot send people to stop them in a short time. They can only watch Viscount Moruo take away the things in the ruins.

However, although it is a clever person in the eyes of outsiders, Viscount's family knows his own affairs, and there are still many risks in it. The next key is how to obtain the holy object without everyone paying attention.

If there were no sacred objects and just treasures, would the sage intervene? After all, this is the remains of the Mercury Dynasty, not something from the dusk era, and it is not that sensitive.

But if there are holy objects, the nature will be different. In order to fight against the possible chaos and disasters, all holy objects excavated in the past must be handed over to the sage for custody.

Under such regulations, except for a few top nobles (such as the royal family and the four great dukes) who can keep one or two pieces, other holy objects will definitely be confiscated by the sages.

"I will not give up." Looking at the burning torches in the mountains, Mo Ruo said to himself in a low voice.

He has spent decades of his youth and youth for this thing, so how could he stop? Even if he faces a wise man, he will not retreat.

Everything is for the great power that transcends all ordinary things, just like the fairy tale books I read in childhood, the incredible spells and magic, and the fantasy stories that make people tempt him and get closer to this dream step by step.

He is no longer young, and there is basically no possibility of further advancement in the extraordinary sequence. But even so, he still wants to feel the power and detachment he has never experienced.

Second only to the witch, the powerful holy object, this is his last hope.
