Baron Dylan estimated the time, and it is now around 7:00 in the evening. After tonight's banquet is over, everyone will leave in the dark and return to their own territory or the hotel in the Hard Rock Pass.
Those who can come to the banquet are actually not big people.
Not even a baron of the same rank.
They are all local small businessmen, small landlords, or knights who have not been entrusted in Jianshi Pass.
It also includes managers who have large caravans stationed here.
It looks lively, but in fact, the quality of this grand banquet is not good. If there are real nobles to participate, they will probably think that the appearance of these little people is disgraceful.
The nobles will not appear in this banquet, no matter who they are, they have chosen to remain silent.
Including Viscount Wayne and Viscount Kevin of the Northshire Territory.
but.
Among the personnel in charge of the caravan of the visitors, they can also represent certain nobles.
During the seven-day banquet, Kant himself received a lot of private respect from the caravan stewards, for example, he received quite a few expensive gifts.
There is also a special envelope in the gift, without a signature, let alone a seal of identification.
The above is also polite nonsense.
But Kant was satisfied.
The goodwill expressed in this letter is obvious. Based on the caravan behind these merchants, one can guess which nobles expressed their goodwill, just like the euphemistic communication between nobles, although awkward, they actively conveyed the signal.
There are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
Stand on a high platform.
Many guests are satisfied, obviously very satisfied with this banquet.
They all received support from Kant's words. As long as Kant can implement it, it means that all of them can make a lot of money and make a fortune!
This is also the result Kant needed.
Combination of interests.
Even if someone tries to swallow Kant.
But these vested interests, when their interests are touched, will definitely stand on Kant's side and rebound.
Or when there is no greater interest that can break the interests given to them by Kant, these vested interests will never betray Kant, even if they betray, they will delay for their own interests, thus indirectly alerting Kant.
It's like a big net woven with interests, although it is simple, it is extremely easy to use!
Moreover, this is not in Kant's interest.
Salt mines are readily available.
The Stone Pass belongs to Lord Dylan.
It would be best to use other people's interests to seek interests for oneself, and to be a white wolf with empty hands.
For this reason, Kant glanced at Baron Dylan not far away, who was sitting obediently in a corner, drinking wine with those vassal knights who were still loyal to him, with a slightly mocking smile on his lips.
This Uncle Dylan really thought he didn't find anything.
It seems to be aware of Kant's gaze.
Baron Dylan looked over.
"cheers."
Kant raised his wine glass across the crowd in vain salute.
It's just that Baron Dylan pretended to be other, as if he didn't see it. He lowered his head and drank the muffled wine again. He looked like the wolf king who had fallen outside and was completely expelled from the wolf pack, wailing in a low voice and licking his wound .
Or, what are you waiting for...
The banquet is coming to an end.
Many guests are already saying goodbye to each other.
This kind of banquet is not only a time to get closer to Baron Kant, but also a good opportunity for everyone to get along with each other.
Many merchants and squires and landowners are all decent people of the same level. Although they are not as good as real nobles, they can still be regarded as the same class. They still live in Jianshi Pass with each other. It will be beneficial to have a close relationship with each other in the future.
Especially those caravans controlled by the great nobles are the target of these people sticking to their thighs.
This is why Kant is there.
After all, you can't make your purpose of hugging your thigh too obvious.
If Kant left, or in other places, these small country gentry and landlords and merchants who used to be in the rocky pass would directly stick to them, and they would hug the thighs of the caravan stewards representing the big nobles without shame!
Next, if those great nobles are stationed in the Stone Pass, then there is nothing about Baron Kant.
There are also benefits to hugging your thighs early.
Kant saw it.
It is also helpless for these guys' integrity.
However, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was not aimed at them. After all, the future is here for these short-sighted guys, and they can't pose a threat to Kant's plan.
Slightly pondering, Kant stepped back from the high platform and asked the knight waiting beside him, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes."
The Swadian knight nodded: "Everything is ready."
"Hmm." Kant smiled, and the real banquet, the real climax, and the real ending will come next!
Sweep around the corner.
Baron Dylan was still pretending to be gloomy and drinking.
It's just that there was a flash of light in his eyes, that look of anticipation seemed to be waiting for something to happen.
"Don't take everyone for a fool."
Kant shook his head.
The Baron Dylan, when he directly communicated with the crystal ball at that time, some kind of spatial fluctuations had already attracted the perception of the Lion Knight of Sarion, and almost officially monitored Baron Dylan's room at that time.
Although they didn't enter the door and didn't know the secret passage for special surveillance, their ears were very useful.
The ear power of the great knight level is naturally very strong.
Ordinary people can't hear it.
They can hear!
Pendor Continent is a fantasy world, even if it is already very low in magic, but the power of superhumans also has some special enhancements, such as the level 6 cavalry that has reached the peak, these lion knights have such a set of skills.
After all, if you have been fighting abroad all year round, if you have poor hearing and cannot hear the enemy's march and your own orders, it will be bad.
There is another key point.
On the continent of Pendor, there are demons from the underworld and Noldor elves.
These races that still have ancient magic knowledge, of course, also have knowledge about space magic.
The demons of the underworld broke through the space and invaded the continent of Pendor, while the Noldor elves opened up a pure land space in the forest to isolate human beings, reproduced by themselves, and attempted to regain control of the continent.
Therefore, as the strongest national knight order of the Kingdom of Sarleon, these lion knights naturally knew something similar.
Their enemies are not the other countries.
Also includes Underworld Demons and Noldor!
That's why.
Even when Baron Dylan activated the crystal ball in the dead of night and ensured that the knights guarding outside relaxed their vigilance, and arranged with the allies on the opposite side in a very low voice, he still did not escape Kant's control.
When he activated the crystal ball with extraordinary power, the fluctuations in the space were just emitted, and he was noticed.
Then it was monitored.
In the next 6 days, every night's plan was successfully monitored and even rewritten into written materials, which were continuously presented to Kant.
As for the attack that is about to end at the banquet tonight, more focused arrangements have been made.
Hundreds of candles light up the hall.
There is only one plate or leftover food left on the long table.
A Swadian infantryman who served as a messenger quickly came to Kant and whispered to his ear: "Master Kant, Lord Fatis asked me to inform you that more than 300 cockroaches have already entered."
"Well, tell me to go on, continue to lurk, and stand by."
Kant issues new orders.
"Yes." The infantry quickly turned and left.
This is a small episode.
No one cared, even if they saw it, they didn't think much about it.
But Kant walked forward, clapped his hands, came to the high platform, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the banquet that lasted for 7 days may not be well received, but please forgive me."
"Master Kant, your hospitality is very good!"
"Nothing is wrong, we enjoyed your banquet!"
"This banquet is really great!"
The guests and those vassal knights cheered.
This is not a hypocritical social talk, but a sincere one. After all, being able to come here to eat and drink for nothing, and to enjoy a high-end banquet of aristocratic specifications, is not something that they, who are not even nobles, can enjoy in normal times. .
What's more, there is Kant's promise to give them a picture, a blank check, which is simply extremely attractive.
This banquet is really good!
Even Baron Dylan nodded, gloomyly scanning the businessmen: "Yes, it's great."
Using the ingredients and supplies stored in his warehouse, the noble banquets held are not only great, but even Viscount Wayne of Fort Rogge, the nominally supreme lord of the entire North County, will not hold similar banquets frequently. .
Now a group of lowly merchant landowners and squires are invited!
Use his stuff!
"Damn it."
Baron Dylan looked up, looked at Kant with gloomy eyes, and cursed in his heart: "Damn brat!"
The time was almost up, he scanned the surrounding thick walls, according to the plan, the allies from outside the official residence of Jianshi Pass had already lurk inside, and as soon as the time reached 7:30, they would open the secret passage and rush out.
Enter the banquet, hold Kant hostage, and gain the initiative!
He is the insider.
As a great knight, Baron Dylan has already tied a dagger on his thigh. As long as there is an ambush in the secret passage to attract everyone's attention, he will quickly explode with extraordinary power to approach Kant and successfully hold him hostage.
In this way, even if other great knights came to rescue, they would have to be caught without a fight and obey their arrangements.
perfect plan.
There was some color in Baron Dylan's gloomy eyes.
But when he saw Kant's calm face and the seemingly minimal defenses around him, the sixth sense in his heart did not know why, and suddenly, the figure that originally wanted to get closer, held back and did not move.
He was a little puzzled. There used to be a few big knights guarding Kant, a kid.
Why are you leaving today.
And Baron Dylan is also suspicious.
The plan was too successful.
It was so successful that even he thought it was simple, and even the weird bottom was really too successful, without any surprise.
"Wait." Baron Dylan panted heavily, a bit of horror appeared in the depths of his eyes, he suddenly thought of a possibility, and the fear from the depths of his soul made him pick up his glass again and take a sip of the sweet malt wine .
He didn't stand up, just remained motionless as before.
And at this moment.
"Boom—"
