《fall into darkness》Noble Invitation
Advertisement
Du was slightly angry, thinking that it was you who robbed me of my way, and actually said that I don't have eyes? However, thinking of what Pete had instructed, he resisted the urge to refute and said, "Mr. Pete brought me here."
"Who is Pete?" The middle-aged aristocrat frowned, "Is there any rules for bringing a scavenger here?"
"Mr. Mays?" At this time, a voice came from behind, Du Di'an and the middle-aged noble looked together, and it was the tough old man Du Di'an saw in the office today. He put on a black gentleman's suit, and a man beside him A middle-aged lady was holding his arm, and the two were affectionate, as if they were husband and wife.
At this time, the old man saw Du Dian and said in surprise: "Little guy, what are you doing at this door, didn't Pete come with you?"
Du Di'an said honestly: "Mr. Pate just went in."
At this time, the middle-aged nobleman named Mays frowned and said, "Lao Luo, do you know him?"
The old man smiled and said: "I just met, this little guy is the seed target of this year's scavengers, and I have to rely on Mr. Mace to take care of him in the future."
"So it is." Metz seemed to understand and glanced at Du Dian: "Little guy, choose our Mellon consortium, if you have the vision, you can walk and watch it later, don't be in a hurry, there are no rules at all."
Du Di'an's face was ugly, and his fists were tightly clenched in his sleeves.
The old man hurriedly said: "Little guy, apologize to Mr. Mays, go first, and pay attention in the future, the banquet is about to start, so don't delay at the door." After saying that, he gave Du Di'an a wink and signaled He made a mistake and it was over.
Du Di'an looked at the trace of anxiety on his face, knowing that he was saving himself, and that as long as he apologized, this little episode could pass, but he didn't feel half happy in his heart, but felt that his whole body and limbs gradually became colder. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the right and wrong of a matter has nothing to do with the matter itself, it depends on what is right or wrong, but only on each other's identity and status!

And these two are the difference in strength between the two sides!
He suddenly realized that the truth is only in the hands of powerful people!
"I'm sorry..." He lowered his head and said apologetic words. Behind him were the brilliant lights and melodious music in the hall. His face was hidden in the shadows, and as far as his eyes could see, the other party's delicate boots.
Then, he saw the boots move, turned and entered the hall.
The old man seemed to glance at him, but didn't say anything, and followed him in.
"These commoners, no matter how good they are at tuning and teaching, will never learn the rules..." Mace's voice came from behind, and the old man's laughter echoed. Du Di'an still lowered his head and clenched his fists. After a long time, he raised his head slightly, looking at the wide manor in front of him, and the lanterns in front of him, and suddenly felt that staying in the darkness that the lanterns could not illuminate seemed to Much freer.
At this time, another noble carriage came galloping.
Du Dian silently retracted his gaze, instead of staying at the door, he turned and entered the hall.
The large and spacious hall was illuminated by oil lamps as if it were daytime. I saw a large number of domestic servants carrying fine wine and cut fruits, shuttled back and forth in the hall, melodious piano music came from the front of the hall, and stood and dressed up everywhere in the hall. Delicate and sophisticated nobles stand together in groups of three or five to chat.
After the previous incident, Du Di'an was no longer in the mood to enjoy this rare luxury party. He came to the window with the least people, leaned against the window, and looked at the people coming and going in the hall. A flowing picture scrolled in front of his eyes, and his heart was not disturbed, and even a little tired, until two figures in black uniforms suddenly appeared in his line of sight, which interrupted his trance.
"Hunter?" Du Di'an immediately recognized that the medal on the shoulders of the man and the woman was not the outline of the giant wall of the scavenger, but a black falcon.

I saw that these two hunters were extremely young, seventeen or eighteen years old. After entering the banquet, when they passed by many nobles along the way, these nobles took the initiative to greet them, obviously they had known each other for a long time.
Soon, the two hunters came to the center of the banquet, where stood several middle-aged nobles, and the Mays who had been apologizing to Du Dian also stood there, beside him was a fat lady, and a man who kept A lean middle-aged man with a mustache.
After the two hunters passed, several middle-aged nobles chatted with them with a smile. They were too far apart, and Du Di'an couldn't hear what they were saying, but it could be seen that these two hunters had a high status in front of the nobles. .
"Hunter..." Du Dian's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly thought of the alchemy notebook of Rosyard, one of which recorded a thing that impressed him, that is, the vivisection of the hunter!
What happened was that a young hunter received the task and came to hunt him down, but he was restrained by the poison made by the potionist and used it as his own experiment. Countless pieces of meat.
Rothyard found the ingredients of alien flesh and blood from the hunter's body, which inspired him a lot, and it was also one of the factors for his success in certifying a three-star alchemist later.
"Hey, scavenger?" Just when Du Di'an was thinking, a figure suddenly sounded.
Du Di'an turned his head to look, and the speaker was a white-haired old man with a kind face. He was holding a cane of some age, with a thumb-sized emerald embedded on the top, and his clothes were relatively simple.
"Can you come to the party here, are you the seed target of the consortium?" The white-haired old man smiled.
Du Dian nodded slightly and said, "Who are you?"
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "I'm Flynn Lane, nice to meet you."
"Lion?" Du Dian's eyes moved, and the place where the desert exam took place three years ago seemed to be an aristocratic territory called Ryan.
Noticing the faint change on Du Di'an's face, the white-haired old man said with a smile: "You must have heard some things about our Ryan family, but those are old things, don't mention it. But you, are you interested in becoming a knight of our Ryan family? "
"Knight?" Du Dian was taken aback. He was no longer the one who didn't know anything three years ago. After studying hard in the library for the past three years, his understanding of the world has become clear. The so-called knight is not It is just a simple title, but only after professional training and strict assessment by the Knights Hall can one obtain a knighthood certificate.
"I didn't make it clear." The white-haired old man said: "It's just a name in the establishment. Our family will give you the salary of a formal knight, and you just need to help our Ryan family explore the wasteland once a year."
Du Di'an immediately understood his purpose, and wondered: "This should be against the treaty, right? Can I go out to scavenge waste for your family alone?"
"Of course you can." The white-haired old man smiled and said, "It's just that this is a private act, and you need to bear the toll of the giant wall yourself. In fact, many nobles have trained some scavengers privately, although they can't be compared with you regular scavengers. In comparison, it can also make some profits outside the giant wall. You can rest assured that the toll fee for this giant wall will be provided by our family.”
