Chapter 25 Cocktail Party (Part 1)(1/2)

Royo City is a relatively special city among the mountainous cities in the southern part of the Reims Empire.

Its commercial business is not very developed, but its geographical location is extremely important. The Shayan Avenue and the Tisgang Avenue, among the main trunk roads in the southern part of the empire, both pass here, and a major river, Millennium River, also flows here. It is located on the edge of the Villas Mountains, with a large mountain backed by a silver belt, and each of its left and right feet is on a main road, and there is a vast plain in front of it.

It looks like a giant sitting down with an empty mountain on his back.

Due to geographical reasons, Royo City has stationed about 500 conventional warriors (below) and 3,000 ordinary soldiers. In addition, the city walls here are much higher than those in Shanye City. Passers-by need to be inspected.

When Xiuyi's convoy arrived at Royo City, Hodding went up to negotiate with them. Not long after, the convoy passed the level successfully.

This time, in addition to Brian Barkler, Hodding, Ashlin and Lilith all came with Xiuyi, 66 bandits including Releyessa were also taken out by Xiuyi.

Half of them formed a small convoy to enter Royo City in the form of a caravan, while the other half entered the city separately with their own identities, adopting a semi-light and half-dark entry.

The convoy moved along the spacious pavement paved with bluestone in the city, and Huoding had already arranged their place to stay in advance.

The Silent Island Hotel is the most luxurious top hotel in Royo City.

It is located in the most prosperous commercial area in the center of Royo City. The entire building is about 30 meters high and is divided into five floors. It is a spire-like structure in the center. There are twelve luxurious suites on the top floor and wings on both sides. In addition to some of the accommodation, there are also large and luxurious restaurants for guests to eat.

Behind the hotel is a large parking lot for carriages to stay.

When Xiuyi and his convoy arrived at the Silent Island Hotel, several young servants in red clothes immediately came up and guided the coachman to park according to the planned route. At the same time, another servant was preparing to come forward to collect the package for the guests.

Sheyi was wearing a black vest and jumped out of the carriage, then turned around to support Lilith. Lilith slapped his hand angrily: "I don't need you to help."

Xiu Yi was helpless: "It is a necessary quality for every noble lady to be weak, and supporting a lady is a etiquette for men."

The carriage was quiet for a moment, and then a beautiful jade hand slowly stretched out from the carriage and gently placed it on Xiuyi's hand, and the movement looked elegant and gentle.

In front of the convoy, Hodding, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a gentlemanly look, was already negotiating with the hotel foreman. Hodding booked four luxurious suites on the top floor, except for Hodding and Eagle sharing one, Brian Barkler, Soui and Lilith each.

Before coming to Royo City, Shuyi had already made a complete change of everyone's appearance. This time he was not only changing the color of his hair, but also helping Barkler repair the scars on his face, making him look like a skeleton, making him look like a person, and at the same time making Hodding look younger and more graceful. As for Lilith, he helped her hide the obvious sharp-eared features.

On the contrary, Shu Yi himself, in addition to changing the color of his hair, he also equipped himself with a pair of lenses, changed the background color of his eyes, widened his face shape, and finally put on glasses. In addition, he found that he had grown taller.

The age of sixteen is the age of development.

This made him look much taller and more gentle. No one would regard this elegant, gentle and polite boy as the vicious criminal Shuiglair. Even if Chaklay, Bailey and others stood beside him, it would be difficult to confirm that he was the Shuiglair they had been looking for.

He even dyed Xu's fur color white, then permed it into curly hair, turned the little black dog into a curly poodle, and then stuffed it into Lilith's arms, becoming a standard family pet.

"If you don't become an exiled criminal and change to become a beauty expert for noble ladies, you will definitely make a lot of money." That was Lilith's evaluation of him at the time.

"Is the Dardanelles family? Come with me, all the rooms you booked have been tidied up. Welcome to the Silent Island Hotel." The foreman not far away gave a diligent greeting. Huoding, who was dressed in a black tuxedo and dressed in a housekeeper but was extremely elegant, returned to the chief carriage after the negotiations and bowed to the carriage: "Dear Master, all matters have been arranged."

Brian Barkler's dull answer came from the carriage: "Take the master and the lady back to the room to rest first."

"yes."

Huoding and Xiuyi looked at each other. A satisfied smile appeared on Xiuyi's face. It was obvious that Brian Buckler had a very good grasp of his position.

When I entered the hotel, Xiuyi found that the hospitality hall here was extremely spacious.

Around the hall are sofa-style seats made of precious animal skins and wool materials. On the seats are people sitting in groups of three or three, talking to each other and occasionally looking at the guests coming in. Crystal chandeliers supplied with magical energy are hung on the ceiling, emitting soft light, and precious oil paintings are covered with precious oil paintings. In the center of the hall, there are oily and shiny receptionists who are carrying hair and receiving guests.

Huoding went to get the door sign and key, returned to Xiuyi and the others, and led the distinguished guests to their room.

What surprised Xiuyi was that they didn't need to take stairs to the top floor. The Silent Island Hotel even installed a magically driven floating ladder here, which can be automatically lifted and lowered.

"I really didn't expect that there was a floating ladder in Silent Island. I thought there were not many hotels in the Empire that had such a setting," said Xiuyi.

The receptionist who led the way was a teenage boy. At this moment, he responded respectfully: "Silent Island belongs to the industry of the Southern Family. In the southern part of the empire, it can be said that no commercial family can be as powerful as the Southern Family. This floating ladder was designed and completed by the head of the family. Every guest who came to Silent Island would be surprised by the master's works."

It turned out that this was the property of the Southern Family, and the floating ladder he was stepping on was built by Lancelot's father Bethlot himself. Xiu Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

He remembered Lancelot, not knowing that he was good now.

The suspension ladder quickly rose to the top floor and the young receptionist took them to his room.

Pushing open the door, Lilith was the first to exclaim.

God knows that she had never lived in a luxurious suite before. The suite was decorated in luxurious and exquisite, and the furniture was made of dark painted fragrant wood, giving off a faint fragrance. It was covered with gorgeous brocade, the windows were made of crystal rather than glass, the kettle and lamp holder were made of silver, and the coffee table was placed with exquisite porcelain, hand-made and painted with ancient myths and legends.

There is also a bathroom at the back of the ensuite. A large bathtub carved with jade can lie down side by side for two people. There is also an exquisite water pillow next to the bathtub, which allows people to soak in the water and have a beautiful sleep. A small constant temperature barrier is engraved around the bathtub, which can prevent the water from cooling within four minutes.

Of course, there is an additional fee to start the barrier.

"It's indeed very luxurious." Xiu Yi smiled and looked at Huoding.

Since you have to use money to move people's hearts, you naturally cannot be stingy with the small investments at present. If you want to live in a nouveau riche, you naturally have to live in the best place.

"Is it expensive to stay in such a place overnight?" Lilith asked softly while the receptionist was not paying attention.

Hodding replied: "One hundred Jinweits in one night."

"Oh, my god!" Lilith covered her mouth and tried hard to suppress her voice: "Are we just four hundred Jinweits in a day?"

Huo Ding Youran replied: "In fact, it's not just this number, don't forget that there are still people's rooms. There are 500 Jinweits a day in total."

"This is too expensive!" Lilith began to grit her teeth, and Shuyi remembered Clarice. Every woman seemed to have natural sensitivity to money.

"How many days do we have to stay?" Lilith asked.

"Seven days." Xiuyi replied.

"Three thousand five hundred Jinweits, Shuiglair, this money will be deducted from your account!" Lilith said angrily.

"My dear sister, please call me Siser Dardanier." Xiuyi's face turned a little ugly, and the receptionist had not left yet.

Lilith glared at him dissatisfiedly and didn't say anything.

After leading them to visit their respective rooms, the receptionist said: "Dear sir, lady, and master, if you want to have dinner, you can go to the luxurious restaurant in the Wing. Of course, if you don't want to go out to eat, just shake the bell at the door and there will be a special waiter for you to serve you."

"I heard that there will be a cocktail party here tonight?" Xiu Yi asked.

"Yes, that was a reception held by Count Brooks. At this time of year in Royo City, there is a particularly busy period, mainly for the upcoming alchemy material trading conference. Count Brooks is currently the largest alchemy material buyer in China."

"I heard he was purchased by the royal family?"

"Yes, Count Brooks comes to Royo City every year to purchase a large amount of materials, but I heard that his orders have suddenly dropped sharply this year, but I don't know why."

Xiu Yi showed a mysterious smile on his face: "Maybe the Empire no longer needs so many materials. Oh, so as long as he is a supplier of alchemy materials or those who need it, he is qualified to enter this cocktail party?" Read novels on mobile phones to visit 16~xs

"Yes." The receptionist replied: "A large number of merchants come to Silent Island at this time of year. Of course, the main character of the acquirer is always the Earl of Brooks, and the seller is always the main supplier of material that has a good relationship with the Elves."

"I'm afraid there will be changes this year." Xiu Yi said lightly: "By the way, can you help me get an invitation?"

The receptionist was a little embarrassed: "This requires you to have the proof of the material supplier dealer first. I mean the proof of the bulk transaction."

"I don't have documents, but I have something more convincing than that. Bagnett." Xiuyi said lightly.

Hodding took out a handful of money and stuffed it into the receptionist's hand: "Tell your manager and ask him to get us a request. I know he can do it. After all, this is held in his hotel, right? As guests of the top suite, you are obliged to fulfill our needs."

The receptionist immediately bent down respectfully: "Yes, Silent Island sincerely welcomes you. Our service purpose is to be fast, accurate and in place."

"Very good, then I have nothing to do with you for the time being. You can go down first." Xiuyi said.

Hodding took out two more Jinweits and threw them to the receptionist, who thanked him for leaving.

Looking back at Lilith's angry eyes, Huoding said: "A grand performance always requires early investment."

"You can give him some money," Lilith said.

"That's why women are not suitable for big things." Xiu Yi smiled.

"I feel deeply the same." Huo Ding also smiled and nodded.

The two of them walked towards their room with laughter, leaving Lilith alone sulking in the room.

After thinking about it, she shouted, "Why don't we do this ourselves? This can save at least one effort."

"Because we are a bunch of rude, arrogant, self-righteous upstarts." Shuyi's voice came from the room: "It must be admitted that Lilith, you are suitable for this role."

"Please call me sister, or Claudia Dardanell!" Lilith shouted angrily.

—The receptionist quickly delivered what Xiuyi needed.

Please post a beautifully crafted gold stamping piece.

“Invite representatives of the Dardanell family to attend the Materials Trader reception organized by Earl of Brooks.”

Before the dinner arrived, Hodding prepared a set of evening gowns for Lilith that ladies often wore. The wide skirt was dragged on the ground and needed to be carried by hand to walk. The golden ribbon wrapped around her belly tightened desperately, causing Lilith to suck her cold air. Coupled with the vulgar and boundless lace hat, Lilith felt like a poor puppet in a floral dress. The one who brought her belt was the former brothel madam, now the lady's personal servant.

"I can't tell where this dress is good. I can't even jump when wearing such clothes." Lilith complained.

"The noble lady doesn't need to jump." The madam reminded her.

Lilith just pretended that she didn't hear it and searched everywhere in the room.

"What are you looking for?" Xiu Yi asked.

"Where are my weapons?" Lilith asked.

"You don't need to wear them, you're just going to dinner."

Lilith ignored him, and she finally found the small close-fitting daggers. She picked up a treasured handful of her back, Lilith reorganized her clothes, and then said to Xiuyi: "I feel much more comfortable now. Then, my dear brother, let's go to the banquet together."

Xiuyi and Hodding were relatively speechless.

The cocktail party is held on the left wing of the Silent Island Hotel. There is an aerial bridge from the main building to the wing, and is wrapped with glass and glazed tiles, which are wrapped in a gorgeous aerial pipeline.

At this moment, Brian Barker, who is the "clan leader" of the family, has been waiting at the door, but now his name is Brian Dardanell. Only Hodding still maintains his original name and is still called Clementine Bagnett. This is because people only know Crazy Hodding, not Clementine Hodding.

"Brooks hasn't come yet, and the cocktail party hasn't started yet. We can go in and meet some friends first. Hey, Bagnett, be careful, your face is quite famous, and you might encounter an acquaintance who yells at you, 'I know you even if you turn into ashes'." Brian Barkler reminds Hodding.
