A number of aristocratic carriages drove into the town of Yade, passing in front of every house in the town.
Such a grand scene greatly surprised the residents of these towns.
Since the Lane family moved here and became their lords, they have also been I have never seen so many nobles come to visit.
The carriage stopped in front of Lane Castle.
Fulin's butler personally stood at the door, greeting distinguished guests from all walks of life.
Dudian came over early in the afternoon to discuss matters with the old patriarch of Fulin.
At this moment, the two of them stood in front of the window on the second floor of the castle, watching the carriages coming in front of the brightly lit manor.
These carriages all had representatives from their respective families.
Flags, every time Patriarch Fulin saw one, he would introduce its origin and background to Dudian, which benefited Dudian a lot.
"We've almost arrived.
Let's go down and accompany the guests.
As a host, we can't be too rude."
Elder Fulin said to Du Di'an.
Dudian nodded slightly.
The two of them went downstairs together and entered the decorated hall.
Originally, only four oil lamps were lit in the hall, but now there were more than a dozen, lighting up like daylight.
I saw nobles with bright clothes and extraordinary temperament, taking their wives or children, eating snacks and fine wine in the hall, while chatting.
When Du Di'an and the old patriarch Fulin came downstairs, these nobles chatting enthusiastically immediately turned their attention over, obviously paying attention to this place for a long time.
"Oh, old Fulin, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you still look so energetic."
A middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat who was standing nearest to the stairs saw Fulin coming down the stairs, he immediately raised his glass and smiled.
Dudian glanced at him.
He had heard Fulin say before that this middle-aged man was from the Niken family in several neighboring towns.
He was also a declining noble.
And unlike Ryan, who had once been a glorious nobleman, this middle-aged man was from the Niken family.
From the beginning to the end, he has been a little nobleman, surviving to this day.
The old patriarch Fulin smiled softly and said: "Thank you very much.
Are you still used to drinking wine?"
"If I had known you had such fine wine here, I would have come here a long time ago."
The middle-aged man laughed.
Fulin smiled slightly and said, "You are always welcome in the future."
At this time, other nobles gathered around and greeted Fulin.
There were eight families in total.
Most of them were the patriarchs.
There were only two families where the patriarchs were too old and were of the same generation as Fulin. , so he sent his children to congratulate him instead.
"As the old saying goes, a skinny tiger is stronger than a wolf."
A graceful lady said with a smile: "The Lane family must be trying to make a big splash by establishing a consortium this time."
While she was speaking, everyone else looked at Fulin with a smile.
Fulin smiled softly and said: "Since we are establishing a consortium, we naturally want to make a lot of money.
Don't you think so?"
"Oh," the middle-aged man from the Nikken family said with great interest: "So, old patriarch, do you have any good ways to make money?"
Fulin smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later.
The party is about to begin.
Let's listen to the music first.
I specially invited the masters from St.
Peter's Music College to come and perform to clean your ears."

Seeing that he had changed the topic, the others wisely did not continue to ask further questions.
They followed the old patriarch Fulin into the hall and took their seats in front of the music band that had been set up.
"Who is this?"
Another middle-aged man with a stout figure looked at Dudian, who was always with Fulin, and asked in confusion.
Fulin said with a smile: "This is the hunter of our consortium, Mr.
Dudian."
When the "Hunter" heard Fulin's words, the expressions of the nobles sitting next to him changed.
They subconsciously deviated slightly and distanced themselves.
However, they soon realized that this was rude and ineffective, so they recovered.
As is.
The fat middle-aged man who inquired put a smile on his face and said: "I didn't expect that your consortium had just been established, and you could recruit hunters to join it so quickly.
It's really gaining momentum, haha."
Dudian noticed the fear deep in the eyes of these nobles, and their expressions were calm.
From Mr.
Fulin, he knew that hunters are both extremely loved and extremely hated existences for the nobles.
The reason for love is that hunters can It brings wealth to them, but what they hate is that hunters are extremely angry and dangerous.
There have been many times in history when hunters lost control of their anger and killed nobles on the spot.
Although those hunters were executed by the "punishers" of the Tribunal afterwards, the dead nobles would not be resurrected.
Therefore, most nobles were unwilling to get too close to the hunters.
Even if they sent orders, they were often written on letterheads.
Notification, occasionally face-to-face conversation is needed, and knight protection will be arranged secretly to be on guard against such a dangerous object at any time.
In fact, in the eyes of most nobles, hunters are not regarded as "same kind" at all, but as monsters identical to the monsters outside the wall.
The others knew Dudian's identity and smiled a little cautiously for a while.
Dudian saw their smiles and suddenly felt a little familiar.
When he attended the gathering of nobles of the Mellon Consortium, he saw Glalie and a senior hunter from another consortium entering.
The nobles took the initiative to say hello "friendly".
At that time, he I was too young to notice the hidden fear mixed in that smile, but now I feel it very clearly.
"The concert is about to start."
Fulin said with a smile.
Dudian turned his head and glanced at him, looking at the smile on his wrinkled face.
He calmed down and quietly looked up to enjoy the music concert on the stage.
This music concert is a large professional team with more than 20 people.
Under the signal of the old patriarch Fulin, the conductor of the concert understood and slowly raised the baton in his hand, and the gurgling notes floated.
It came out and surrounded the hall, refreshing the heart and mind, making the children of Mr.
Fulin and the children brought by these nobles sitting at the back and corners of the hall listen leisurely and intoxicated.
Suddenly, the door of the hall was pushed open with a creak, and a group of figures entered the hall.
A clear male voice among them sneered: "Old Patriarch Fulin is so impatient.
Has the banquet started before everyone has arrived?"
The flowing music suddenly stopped.
The seemingly peaceful atmosphere in the hall suddenly solidified.
Everyone looked back, and their expressions suddenly changed slightly.
The fat middle-aged man sitting next to Dudian exclaimed in a low voice: "How come the Mel family, the Milan family, and the others are here?"
When Du Di'an turned around, he also recognized the identity of the person who came.
The leader was a slender and elegant girl with extremely beautiful cheeks, like a dream.
Her exquisitely tailored clothes complemented her noble temperament.

He stood slightly behind her.
On the sole of the foot is a young man, wearing gorgeous platinum clothing, with a straight posture like a knight, wearing a noble fencing sword on his waist, and he looks majestic.
Behind these two men, five or six knights gathered, as well as two attendants.
The other nobles noticed the names represented by the family crests on the shoulders of these knights, and their expressions changed.
In fact, even if they did not see the family crests, they could recognize the origins of the young men and women who led them
