Chapter 89 Section 88. Dinner at the City Lord’s Mansion
Therefore, Olmedo hoped that Annan would appear at the dinner at the main palace of the city the day after tomorrow to show the public that there was no conflict between the Reeves family and the Olmedo family, so as to restore order to Breeze City and suppress the hotbed of chaos.
On the surface, Olmedo and Annan have similar statuses - Olmedo has real power and Annan has a high status. But he should know Annan's identity.
"I need to think about it."
"I'll wait for you at the dinner."
Annan looked at the invitation Olmedo put down when he left, and Francois looked at Annan.
"Are you going to promise him?"
The young city lord seems to have the same position as Annan: they are both investigating the truth behind the attack on the Reeves family.
And a formal banquet is the best occasion for Annan to promote his reputation.
"What about you?" Annan asked.
"Take the black crow badge and follow the scavenger to investigate." Francois volunteered.
It's just that Della doesn't want to follow the scavenger in the investigation, nor does she want to attend the dinner party two days later.
"I need your help..." Annan raised his dark eyes and looked at Della as if pleading, "The dinner party may be dangerous."
"……All right."
…
The carriage is waiting in front of the steps.
Annan stood in the living room, raised her arms, and asked the head maid to smooth the wrinkles on her dress.
Abby stood in front of him holding a full-length mirror: under the refreshing black hair, the burgundy old rope-button banquet dress complemented Annan's calm temperament, and the clear black eyes were hard to make people feel disgusted.
The dress was made by the Wine Lady after she heard that Annan was going to attend a dinner at the City Lord's Mansion. It is said that the former Twelve Kings of the North - Petria Reeves wore this dress to receive the award from the Alliance Kingdom.
And this dress makes Annan look a little like a young man.
The head maid retreated to the side of Annan and praised: "I can guarantee that the girls at the banquet will be crazy about you."
When I think of Crazy Annan, Irilanze comes to mind. Fortunately, the ladies and girls at the banquet will not be like this.
Abby and the maid took away the full-length mirror. Annan looked upstairs and saw that Della hadn't come out yet.
Annan had no choice but to continue waiting. Women always have the privilege of delaying.
Standing by the door of the living room, Annan looked at the carriage outside the manor: the carriage was no longer the family emblem of the Wine Lady, but changed to the special combination emblem of the Twelve Kings of the North: a rhombus-shaped primary-color snowflake composed of twelve parts.
The upper left corner is painted red, representing the red color of the Reeves family.
It was Francois's idea: he thought the family crest meant Annan's official declaration that the vengeful man had returned from hell - shameful but effective.
After all, the news that the vengeful souls of the Reeves family have returned from hell has been spreading in Breeze City.
Annan heard footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw that Della was walking down the stairs.
After the Saint Laurent calendar, aristocratic clothing began to gradually evolve to be fluffy, complicated, and hung with numerous decorations. But the Della in front of me was wearing a simple long skirt like silk gauze, with a crimson lace tied at a narrow waist, showing off the tallness of an elf.
The graceful curvature of her calves and the arches on her sandals tell her strength.
Della stood on the last step and stretched out her palm to Annan.
Annan held up the hot hand. The only drawback was that Annan was half a head shorter than Dara and looked like her younger brother.
"Are you ready?"
…
"Huh... there's one more question," Francois raised his hand, "Do we have to wear masks that get in the way? Huh... I can't even hit an enemy dozens of yards away, damn... I can't do anything.
Can’t see.”
Francois nearly ran into a bush.
"We have no hope when we need you to fight."
"What's the word? I...Okay."
Francois accepted that he was considered a liability because these scavengers wore the Silver Crow Badge - indicating that their combat profession was elite.
"I'm not complaining, but why act at night when it's not good for us?"
"You don't understand?"
"not understand."
"The mice don't understand either."
Francois seemed to understand.
"Treat this as practice, kid." A passing scavenger patted his shoulder. "Let's go."
The silhouettes wearing leather cloaks and beak masks are like the Grim Reaper, walking into the forest under the darkness of dawn.
Due to the keenness of a ranger, Francois only followed the footsteps of other scavengers and followed them.
The last ray of light behind the branches faded, and the tree crowns fell into darkness. This team of scavengers continued to move forward without any lighting.
At some point, the scavenger in front suddenly stopped.
"We're here."
…
A carriage merged into the convoy in front of the city lord's palace.
The red carpet was laid down the steps of the grand and simple building, and the guests stepped off the carriage one after another, looking for familiar friends, and stepped onto the red carpet.
When some eyes swept over the carriage, they froze on the carriage where Annan was sitting, and recognized what the weird snowflake emblem on the car body represented.
Some undisguised glances and hidden glances were directed at Annan and Della. It seemed that many guests had discovered him.
Stepping onto the steps, the nervous guard became surprised when Annan took out the invitation letter. After repeated confirmation, Annan was allowed to enter the banquet.
Annan and Dela were waiting in the corner. As the guests arrived, Olmedo appeared on the stage.
"Thank you for attending the dinner in Breeze City. Autumn is approaching..."
Olmedo first talked about Breeze City's finances and taxes in the second quarter, and then talked about much more relaxed personal matters: "I recently made a new friend. We had many conflicts and hostility due to misunderstandings, but I am very happy to
In order to make up for it, the misunderstanding between him and me is being resolved."
"Please allow me to introduce to you—"
Olmedo looked through the crowd.
"King in the North, Annan Reeves."
…
"Why are you all looking at me...Did I do something wrong?"
"Can't you recognize it?"
Francois recognized this familiar voice: "This is... dragon breath? I recognize it! The blue dragon was summoned by His Excellency the King of the North."
The crow mask tilted its head and said to its companion: "Cross out the blue dragon."
In the silence after the words fell, a clear sound of branches breaking broke into their ears.
Click——
…
"You can't dance?"
Della frowned as Annan stepped on her foot for the third time.
"Won't……"
"I'll teach you."
Della held Annan's lower back, pressed against her body, and asked him to move along with it.
"Can elves even dance?"
"Where do you think human dance comes from?"
have no idea……
Click.
"Sorry... let's go get something to eat."
…
Countless nightmare-like evil figures gathered around the feast of rotting flesh.
More and more silhouettes joined the feast, and the creepy chewing sounds echoed through the woods.
Under the cold moonlight that seeped into the woods, a bare tail swayed gently——
…
Annan rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Annan recalled his doubts as if he saw Della's belt moving.
