"Don't be impulsive." Seeing Du Dian's expression, Fulin sighed, and comforted him: "We have no evidence in our hands, even if we know that they have cheated our money, there is no way to get justice, although now you She is an envoy of God, her identity is different from before, but the brighter the aura on her body, the more attention she will attract. At this time, we must not lose the big because of small things, and we will slowly settle the account when we have a lot of savings in the future. "
Seeing the worry in the old man's eyes, Du Dian gently raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I will deal with this matter, don't worry, people are fragile, whether it is an advanced hunter or an ordinary person, They are all equally fragile, to destroy a precision machine, it does not need a big ax to destroy it, sometimes a hair of dust can dismember it.”
Fulin looked at the darkness as deep as will-o'-the-wisp in his eyes, and felt that the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped a bit, and he felt an inexplicable tremor, as if standing in front of him was not a human teenager, but a dark and evil figure. skeleton monsters.
"Now, let's go to the banquet first." Du Dian suddenly showed a smile on his face, and his temperament was as gentle as a spring breeze in a blink of an eye.
Fulin had a trance illusion, and before he had time to investigate his previous feelings carefully, he was reminded by Du Dian's words, and immediately reacted, saying: "Yes, yes, it's getting late, go to the banquet first, and talk about this matter later , this banquet has invited nobles from all over the world, it is an excellent opportunity for us, and we can take this opportunity to win over other nobles, this is a rare time to gather people."
Du Dian smiled and helped him leave the room.
Fulin told the housekeeper outside, prepared the carriage, and the two went to the place of the banquet—St. Petersburg of the Temple of Elements.
St. Petersburg used to be a cathedral of the Holy See of Light. Later, after Mount Dega became the headquarters of the Temple of Elements, the nearest St. Petersburg also became the place to provide services for the Temple of Elements.
The setting sun gradually came to an end, the sky was dark and starry.
Outside the manor in front of St. Petersburg, dozens of carriages were parked, all nobles from various places in the business district, covering various financial groups, whether they were upper-class nobles, or some down-and-out nobles who wanted to rise up, they all came in person. After all, this is the person who won the "Era" medal in the Temple of Elements. Although some consortiums that know Du Dian, such as the Scott and Mellon consortia, don't care too much about Du Dian, they dare not care about the "Era" of the Temple of Elements medal.
As soon as the sky was getting dark, Fanxiang oil lamps were lit outside the manor. This is the top-notch sesame oil. It comes from the body of a golden beast. Even in the castles of some upper-class nobles, it is only used in restaurants, study bedrooms, etc. It is for local use, unlike here, where it is directly lit on the street lamp outside the manor. In this faint smell of Fanxiang, even the guards on duty can feel their energy revived, and their fatigue is swept away.
Kaili and several other colleagues received distinguished guests from all parties at the door, and exchanged a few pleasantries one by one. In the circle of nobles and the Temple of Elements, Kaili was an acquaintance with a wide network of contacts. He had just sent the two nobles in when he saw the A carriage drove up, and seeing the flag on it, his eyes lit up immediately, "Here we come."
The carriage stopped, and Du Dian helped Fulin get out of the car together, followed by Fulin's son Sandro, waiting behind him like a junior.
"Mr. Du." Carey stepped forward immediately, laughed and said, "As the protagonist of tonight, you are a bit late."
Du Dian shrugged: "Traffic jam."
Carey smiled helplessly, and said to Fulin next to him: "This is the old patriarch Fulin, he is still in such a strong body, you really found a treasure."
"Luck, luck." Flynn laughed.
"Please come inside, it's windy outside." Kaili immediately invited, leading the way.
The three of them entered the manor and came to St. Petersburg. The luxurious and thick gate that can accommodate more than ten people at the same time was slowly opened, and golden light swayed from the inside, hitting the three of them, and the laughter inside also came out. , the first thing that catches the eye is the extremely luxurious but full of retro and solemn atmosphere, and the glass chandeliers that are extremely exquisite and can be called works of art. Naturally, it is not electricity, but Fanxiang oil.
"Go ahead, let's go around." Du Dian said to him.
Carey smiled and said, "Okay, there are a lot of people now, I'll go to receive you first, and I'll accompany you later."
After Kaili left, Du Dian helped Fulin to the hall, and saw a few huge long tables filled with all kinds of fresh fruits, pastries, and fine wines, which were extremely exquisite. Some nobles who knew each other stood chatting together, covering each other With a low smile, his demeanor showed the etiquette and self-cultivation of the nobility.
"I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to come to St. Petersburg." Fulin said with emotion: "My father came here once when I was young and didn't take me with me. Now, thanks to you, I came here in person. It is as luxurious as the rumors outside Magnificent, it is estimated that only top craftsmen can create such a majestic and magnificent castle."
Du Dian smiled, picked up a few plates of pastries with low sugar content on the table and handed them to him, saying: "Eat something, let's sit next to you."
"Well." Fulin nodded, sat down on the sofa in the rest area next to him, and smiled at Du Dian: "Go and play by yourself, don't accompany me, a bad old man, you are not young, if you can hook up with me at this opportunity A few noble ladies are pretty good."
Du Dian glanced at him helplessly, and said, "I'm afraid I won't find anyone worthy of my age."
"No, sixteen or seventeen is a bit older, but it's not uncommon. Those after twenty are rare, and you can still meet them. Look at the few over there, go." Fulin said with a smile.
Du Dian glanced at the direction of his fingers, and saw that several noble ladies around fourteen or fifteen years old were chatting and laughing together, he looked back and said to Fulin: "Then I will go around, you have a good rest. "After finishing speaking, he came to the center of the hall, wandered around, glanced at the nobles who came, his keen hearing could distinguish their whispers and chats, although the chats on such an occasion were not secrets, but they could also be heard Aristocrats like to talk about things and interests.
"A member of the Bron family..." Du Dian's eyes fell on a middle-aged man, and his peaceful expression suddenly darkened. He was very familiar with this man's face. Although he had only seen it once, he firmly, Deeply engraved in his heart, it was Jenny's father, Srudi.
At this moment, there are a few nobles around Srudi, chatting with him with fine wine. On such an occasion, wine is an excellent additive, so that people who meet for the first time will not look too awkward and restrained when they greet each other.
"Little ghost, don't look around, look for the way." Suddenly, a figure sounded from behind.
Du Dian looked back, but he was a fat middle-aged man with a few strands of white hair on his temples. He should be about fifty years old. He was slightly stunned. He looked familiar to him, and he was stunned for a moment. , I suddenly remembered that when I first became a scavenger to attend the banquet of the Mellon Consortium, the person I met at the door, a few years later, the appearance and figure of the other person have changed, so that I didn't recognize him for a while.
"Mace?" Du Dian looked up at him and said his name softly. He only heard these two words once, but he remembered them deeply in his heart, and also remembered the humiliation of bowing his head under the pressure of the powerful. .
"Huh?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You know me?"
Seeing him confess, the coldness in Du Dian's eyes suddenly subsided, and he said softly: "Your collar is good, I hope you can wear it longer." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.
collar? The middle-aged man looked down at the exquisite men's necklace hanging around his neck. This is a work of art he specially asked the master to forge. Looking at the back of Du Dian leaving, he reacted and suddenly became a little angry, but on such occasions, the nobleman's Self-cultivation made him hold back the act of shouting directly, but just stared at him viciously, secretly remembering Du Dian's appearance.
