Several members of the Adventurer's Guild made eye contact, but in the end they all looked helpless.
There was a hint of pride at the corner of Maher's mouth. Even if he took refuge late, he was a nobleman after all.
It's not only these old-fashioned nobles who winked, but some small families also laughed hilariously.
The city of Jerusalem has always been ranked second-rate, and the head of the Shehir family, who mainly deals in leather goods and clothing, Stephen. When Shehir passed Ranu with a glass of wine, he didn't know if it was because his foot tripped or something. A glass of bright red fruit wine in his hand spilled on the table, and the splashed wine splashed on Ranu and Mi. On Luo's chest, there was a little blood red, as if a dye shop had opened.
"You!!" Milo was so young that he almost had another attack, but he felt the big hand on his shoulder clasped tightly, Milo knew that Lanu, who was the branch president, was angrier than himself at this moment. But what can be done! In these families, the people of these professional guilds seem to be tasteless. Without the entrustment of these noble families and the participation of professionals, the Adventure Guild would not be able to survive at all.
This is their view, and they look down on it completely!
"Hey, I'm sorry." Stephen raised his empty cup with a smile: "I missed it." But the expression on his face clearly read: What can you do if I do it on purpose
It is also a headache for a second-rate family to be in such an inner circle, but Stephen is smart enough to see that everyone present does not like this adventure guild Ranu. The key is that the empire is used to looking down on adventurers. A vassal of the guild.
Moreover, Stephen has weighed it, and with the current status of Arthur Priest, it is completely impossible for a small Adventurer's Guild branch to grow up. Priest Arthur's friends are all big families, as well as the red-clothed priests and shamans, a small branch leader, and the most unpopular adventurer, and if he wants to traverse Jerusalem, he will Traditional forces must be united.
The atmosphere of the circle centered on Ranu has changed subtly.
The people around were smiling and watching with cold eyes, watching the adventurer guilds such as Ranu and Milo, who were like drowning chickens, stood stiffly, as if they were laughing at their self-control.
Ranu just smiled lightly, and didn't particularly mind. At this point, he had seen too much and could well conceal his mentality.
Take risks, challenge yourself, and eat with your own hands. He can stand up and say to everyone that an adventurer is a proud profession, and the adventure missions and exciting processes he has experienced are ten times more difficult than the aristocratic families, the underground world where these nobles buy maps to complete the trial missions times, a hundred times!
Ranu's heart is very full, and it is not enough to explode for this level.
Ten years earlier, Ranu might have argued about it, and he might have jumped up like Milo, but now... His blood was still hot, and he knew that the blood was lurking in his heart. When you meet the right person and time, it will burn, just like the last time you went to the monster hunting ground with Priest Arthur.
However, these years of experience and hard work have already taught Lanu... people to accept their fate.
If you are in the system, you have to obey.
This is an internal unspoken rule, and you have to accept everything about it when you choose your career as an adventurer! All the excitement, the radiance of blood, and what it is unpopular, ostracized and despised.
All glory and humiliation belong to you, adventurer!
Ranu's calmness made Stephen a little upset, but it wasn't too much.
As for Arthur, who is surrounded by the nobles who please him, he doesn't have the energy to take care of himself. The corners of Ranu's mouth were bitter, just as he was about to bow his head to these invisible unspoken rules again, just like all these years, when suddenly, the noisy scene quieted down.
Everyone looked in one direction in amazement, Arthur! The absolute protagonist at the venue today walked over with a glass of wine smiling.
It's just that those who are familiar with him can see that Arthur's current mood... His smile is a little cold!
"I'm here to give this... a cup to the owner." Zou lined the crowd and strode over. There was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.
Without waiting for the others to grasp the meaning of his smile, Zou Liang raised his hand high, raised a glass of wine on top of Stephen's head, and poured it down slowly.
The cold wine is like a bucket of ice and snow that wakes up the proud Stephen!
After being stunned for a few seconds, the owner realized what had happened, and just wanted to shout, but was stared at by Zou Liang's icy, biting eyes. It was a feeling of natural enemies staring at their prey, making Steele's hands and feet cold and unable to move.
"This glass of wine is very expensive. If you don't finish the wine I toast to you, it will be too disrespectful to me!"
Zou Liang had a cold murderous aura on his body, and his indifferent eyes swept around. Those who were expecting to see the adventure guild president Lanu and his party make a good show were all silent.
After a glass of red wine was poured on Stephen's head, Zou Liang sneered and put the wine glass in his hand upside down on his head, "You offended my friend just now. With the tolerance of the beast god, I will now give you a chance to apologize."
An empty wine glass is held upside down on your head, and it will shatter at the touch of a button. This is worse than humiliation, and it is also a naked deterrent. You provoke my friend, and a knife hangs over your head! Lao Tzu can play you at any time!
Stupid, everyone present, including Ranu himself, was stunned. This openly offended the aristocratic forces. This... "President Ranu, come, come to me, I want to give you a good toast." Stephen, who didn't even bother to look at this man again, stretched out his hand and carried Ranu beside him: "Speaking of my war song circle last time, thanks to your help last time, I got us that good land for these boys. Lilian. President Lanu must drink a few more glasses today." "Yes! Yes! You must drink more!"
Luman, the Bear Clan Bill, is a generous guest. He has already blushed from drinking and his neck is thick. And he is familiar with adventurers like Ranu. As soon as he saw President Lanu, he swarmed up like he had seen his own brother, and went to drink with his hands and feet.
move!
Ranu was so moved that he was confused. Arthur's actions today were equivalent to telling everyone that he was interested in the Adventurer's Guild, which many people were reluctant to do, but Arthur did.
Respecting in private is one thing, giving face in such a public circle of power is the real friendship. Arthur told him through this that they were on the same boat.
"Come! Drink!!"
At this moment, the pride of youth came up again, and Ranu's blood came up, and he didn't care whether it was a wheel battle. Today, he must have a good drink with the priests. Just take this friendship with Priest Arthur!
drink! !
The shocked aristocratic circles were led by the hard-core supporters of the Raypot family, the Randy family, and the Kurt family, and everyone quietly exchanged limits. The meaning inside is self-evident.
It is true that Arthur is a bit rash, but for a genius like Arthur, the rules are used to break, at least in Jerusalem, now he does everything for granted.
Smart people like the Raypot family have actually noticed the size of the Adventurer's Guild a long time ago. It can be said that this is a hidden dragon, but it is estimated that the professional guild will suppress and control the Adventurer's Guild, and they are not willing to offend the tradition. Power, but Arthur not only thought of it, but also took a big step.
The Adventurer's Guild is a terrifying existence.
As a result, the banquet, which had been silent for a moment, became lively again, more lively than before. In fact, everyone is with Arthur and Thomas as the chief priests in red. The stronger and kinder they are, the safer and more reassuring their allies will be.
As for the previous Stephen, it has long been ignored. This man did not wince, he chose where to play, looking at those old-fashioned families, Charlotte and the others, even if they looked down on Ranu, they would never make it so obvious.
The situation now seems to be the reverse of what it was before. The difference is that the one who was left out and isolated was replaced by Stephen.
And Lanu, who was not popular before, because of Arthur's popularity and enthusiasm, clearly expressed: "This is my friend, my own." He has become another celebrity beside Arthur besides the priesthood. The major families toast to convey friendliness.
The previous little embarrassment... It's all clouds.
This is the so-called upper class, and the skin is definitely thicker than the city wall.
A new round of more intense wine fights began. Zou Liang was fine. He had experience in this situation and could handle it. Where did the young priests of Kalau experience this, one by one, their faces were red from being lined up to toast in turn, and some of them had already climbed under the table with a light drinker.
"Don't drink! Just don't drink 11"
Amidst the commotion, an abrupt voice sounded, making everyone stunned for a moment.
Zou Liang looked up and saw that it was Milo, a young boy who followed Ranu.
This young Shadow Hunter has a fierce temperament. He had been secretly isolated and neglected by the people of those aristocratic families and nobles before, and he kept holding his breath in his heart. At this time, seeing these people come to toast again with a sullen face, holding their stomachs in one breath, they don't drink anything.
"Come on, Milo, come have a drink, let's go one." Bill Ruman bare his hairy chest. Seriously, he looked like a butcher and a warrior, but he didn't have the demeanor of a warsong priest.
Rolling up his sleeves, he had a big glass of wine and he had bottomed out. After drinking, he shook the empty glass upside down to Milo, showing that the brother is really doing it, and he is very bold.
But Milo's tone wasn't aimed at the Warsong Priests, and the young man's anger didn't go down so quickly.
Stuck on his neck, "Don't drink, Brother Luman, next time I'll accompany you, don't get drunk, why don't you drink today!"
Milo continued to raise his head at a forty-five-degree angle, the blue sky above his very stubborn head, a martyr-like appearance.
"Grandma's..." Luman scratched his head, and he had no choice. Even Luman could see that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing and wanted to relax.
A group of nobles around them looked at each other awkwardly, and they all knew what was going on in their hearts. However, it would be too embarrassing for them to apologize to a little adventurer for persuading them to drink.
Ranu knew that he couldn't go on like this. He stood up with a blushing face and a mouth full of alcohol, and patted Milo hard, with a look of relief that "Milo is a boy". "Miro, everyone is happy today. I won't mention the previous one. I'll give you a toast. You have to drink it." Ranu said, holding a glass of wine and handing it to Milo. Peace is precious.
Minu gritted his teeth, "How can the president respect his subordinates."
