Not long after, the banquet finally officially started. The lights flickered, the music started, and everyone led their dance partners to the center of the venue.
The opening dance has always been an essential part of a large banquet.
When it comes to whether Sherlock can dance, the answer is of course no. Fortunately, his dance partner can't either, so the two half-elves held hands and seemed to be learning to walk and got by.
"Milu, looking at you dressed so formally, it turns out you don't know how to dance."
"Do you expect a girl who grew up in a tavern to be able to dance this kind of ballroom dance that only the upper class needs to learn?" Mirlu stepped on the adventurer who didn't understand the style as soon as she made a mistake.
"But, by the way, do you really not have the talent to be a mage?" Sherlock, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, immediately changed the subject.
In fact, he noticed from the beginning that the bottom of the opponent's red skirt was always in the air, almost an inch away from the ground. With such an accomplishment in the wind element, it was hard to believe that she had no magic talent.
.
"I would like to, so that I don't have to stay in a tavern all my life and end up marrying a tailor or a carpenter or something. But the fact is that I was probably born to be a tavern maid."
When Mirru said these words, the kind of sadness that Sherlock was very familiar with was probably the helplessness in the face of fate.
Many things cannot be achieved with hard work, and it may be fine in real life, but in a magical background like the Forgotten Kingdom, an ordinary person who wants to fight against fate really needs a protagonist template.
"Actually, the tavern is not bad, and there is nothing wrong with tailors and carpenters. Isn't that what life is like?"
"You are an adventurer, you have no right to say such things." Mierlu choked and did not continue. She herself did not know what happened today. Looking at everything in front of her, the desire in her heart was like boiling heat.
It keeps flowing like oil.
Sherlock always categorized women's sudden changes in emotions into one place, so he did not continue the topic uninterestedly. Instead, he talked about what he had seen in the Supreme Forest and Far Star Lake.
After the opening dance, the main topic of the banquet came. After Helena spoke for a while, she began to meet the participants of the banquet one by one.
This order probably has something to do with the importance. Seventeen Wang Yanghai entered, and they walked out excitedly after half an hour. If they hadn't seen Mo Shuci also enter, they would have thought something terrible happened to the two of them.
transaction.
After nearly two hours, it was finally Sherlock's turn.
"A half-elf couple, the invitation is a 100,000-yuan bearer card. I don't know why you spend such a big price to find me." A beautiful woman asked sitting on a bed.
A jumpsuit decorated with gold threads, a gold-plated red cloak, black boots studded with gems, white gloves and a gold-plated scepter. The luxurious and slightly gaudy dress can be said to be the hallmark of the high-ranking members of the Holy Coin Cult.
match.
As believers of the Goddess of Wealth, they cannot contain their enthusiasm for gold. The more gold jewelry they have on their bodies, the higher their status in the church is.
"Dear Golden Messenger, Lady Helena, I am a Harper from the High Forest."
Different levels of personnel in the Holy Coin Religion also have different titles. The highest one is the current Holy Coin Bishop and goddess spokesperson Sarangda Olium, followed by the Golden Envoy whose power is second only to the bishop.
Helena is one of the top five gold envoys and one of the candidates for the next bishop.
"Oh, it's the Supreme Forest again. You must have also obtained the goddess's token."
"That's not true, but you must have heard about the incident at Cape Ask. The incarnation of the demon lord Graz'zt was summoned, and chaos will come again."
The goddess's token must be the earring that the flower bloomed that year. From Wang Yanghai's excited expression just now, it can be seen that they must have made some huge discovery, so logically speaking, his request should not be rejected.
"Don't you Harpers flaunt justice? With such a good opportunity to save the world, why do you still have time to chat with me?" Of course Helena knew everyone's origins and demands in advance, and she just wanted to tease them at this time.
This middle school organization that brought her a lot of trouble.
To be honest, although the transaction of the Goddess of Wealth is to promote the progress of civilization and bring happiness to all intelligent creatures through trade, in fact, the Holy Coin Sect, a profit-seeking organization, is not clean, and the internal rules of the church are even more inconsistent.
Our society is equally hypocritical and cruel.
Because of this, the merchants of the Holy Coin Cult have had conflicts with the Harpers Alliance more than once during the trade process.
"It is our mission to maintain the order of the continent, and we are not afraid to sacrifice for it. But this time, the participation of the drow clan from the underground, the evil Zhentarim, the Bloody Church of Mara and other forces have made all plans troublesome.
Get up."
In fact, as long as he makes a request and involves Graz'zt, the demon lord, Helena will agree to it under the rules of the system.
What he has said now is just to improve the completion of the task. Finally, he also told the Zhentarim's plan to subvert the city of Noisy Water.
"How do you know such an important thing?" Helena actually knew all the previous information, but she hadn't received the last one yet.
"I accidentally discovered a Zhentarim stronghold near the commercial road leading to Locke Town. There is also a dark elf inside who is performing some evil ritual..."
After listening to Sherlock's description, Helena fell into deep thought.
She and four others have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of Bishop of the Holy Coin Cult for so many years, but there is still no winner. It is difficult to deal a blow to others in terms of financial strength.
This opportunity is rare now. Although the power behind the pair of adventurers is not small, it is impossible to complete the task in a short time. If there is a Harper Alliance to disrupt the situation, the situation may be much better, and
It's just a small item with a price.
If he can really deal a serious blow to Lord Wu An in the end, his influence in the church will be greatly enhanced.
Even if the mission fails, you can still take this opportunity to build relationships with those arrogant Harpers, and maybe even form an alliance.
"Adventurer, you are not a good lobbyist, but fortunately your reasons are sufficient. I will send people to the High Forest to discuss the specific situation. As for the Zhentarim conspiracy, you don't need to worry about it. This is South
