Dean suddenly remembered that many years ago, when he was still a scavenger, he attended a low-level aristocratic banquet held by the Mellon consortium. He was also scolded when he entered the door. Although he was full of anger at that time, he could only swallow his anger and retreat to the side. He didn't expect to encounter the same scene again after so many years.
The difference was that he wasn't the scavenger who could be bullied by others.
However, the same thing was that he had changed, but the world hadn't changed.
"Which family are you from?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man with a tall stature. He was dressed in elegant clothes. He had a square face and thick eyebrows which gave him a bit of majesty. Seeing that Dean didn't respond, he slightly frowned and spoke again.
Dean calmly looked at him. He didn't say anything, nor did he want to kill. He just held Aisha's small hand and turned to walk into the main hall.
"You …" The middle-aged man was sullen. He didn't expect to be ignored by a junior. He wanted to scold a few words, but Dean had already turned to leave. If he reprimanded again, he would inevitably have to raise his voice, which would be somewhat rude. He coldly snorted: "Some people nowadays are getting worse and worse. They don't respect their elders!"
"What Vero said is right. The younger generation is getting more and more rude. Lord, don't be angry with these juniors. It's not worth it." Someone next to him persuaded.
"Good, good. Let's enter."
"The banquet is about to start."
Several people immediately changed the topic to break the awkward atmosphere.
Vero's cold face eased a bit, but in his heart he secretly remembered Dean's face. He had embarrassed him in public. After he inquired about Dean's identity, he would inevitably give him some color to see. It would be best if Dean's parents would personally send him to the door to apologize!
Thinking of this, his expression quickly returned to normal. He lightly smiled: "Everyone, please come in. I don't know if Rose Lord is present."
"This main hall is really big. It's worthy of being the home of Rose Lord." Someone next to him exclaimed.
They entered together and were quickly attracted by the splendor of the main hall, as if nothing had happened.
After entering the main hall, he picked up the champagne from the table and drank two mouthfuls. The taste was very good. Then he took some delicate snacks and went to the rest area to sit down. There were a few sofas around a table, just like a teapot surrounded by a few small tea tables. There were only seven or eight people sitting in the rest area. All of them seemed to be young people brought by their parents to play.
On the other hand, their fathers were busy making friends at the banquet. This kind of aristocratic banquet was a place to socialize. It could expand one's social network and increase one's reputation. For aristocrats, other than resources, the most important thing was their reputation. If they were invited, they could at least say that they attended the banquet hosted by Rose Overlord. This would indirectly tell others that they had a close relationship with Rose Overlord.
If anyone wanted to take advantage of them, they would have to think twice about the Rose Overlord behind them.
Dean took the snacks and found an empty table to eat. While eating, he looked at the groups of aristocratic lords in the magnificent hall. His peripheral vision lingered on one of them, but he quickly moved away and continued to eat his snacks in boredom.
"Hey, hello, is it convenient for me to sit here?" A handsome voice came from the side.
Dean glanced up and saw a blonde youth in his early twenties. He was very young and had a sunny smile.
"It's not convenient." Dean retracted his gaze and faintly refused.
The youth choked and was slightly stunned. He didn't expect such an answer from Dean. Most people would at least find a reason even if they didn't want to sit here. For example, someone would come here and so on. But Dean seemed to be too lazy to even find a reason.
The corner of the youth's mouth slightly twitched, but he was still very self-restrained. He smiled and said: "This seat is empty. I'll sit and go." Then he pulled out a chair and sat down. His eyes quickly turned to Aisha. Although Aisha was wearing a veil, but the thin veil couldn't hide the outline of her cheeks. At first glance, it was obvious that she was a very beautiful woman.
Moreover, this kind of hazy feeling made people curious and want to explore.
"Is this your female companion?" The youth glanced at her and turned to ask Dean. There was a trace of expectation in his eyes. He hoped that Dean would answer no. If it was just a sister or sister, then he might have some hope.
When Dean heard the youth's words, the dull expression on his face suddenly converged, leaving only coldness: "Get lost!"
The youth was dumbfounded. He looked at Dean as if he had seen a ghost. He was just asking. Even if it was your female companion, you shouldn't be so angry, right? The kind smile on his face quickly disappeared. He frowned: "I was just asking. If I offended you, you can tell me. There's no need …"
"I said, get lost!" Dean turned his head and looked straight at him.
The youth was so angry that his face turned red. Anger rushed from his chest to his head. But when he was stared at by Dean, he suddenly felt a chill. His pores tightened. He couldn't tell what this feeling was, but he felt fear in his heart. A very real fear!
His face changed for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said: "Which lord's family are you from?"
"Get lost!" Dean didn't even bother to look at him again.
The youth clenched his fists and stared at Dean fiercely. He turned and left. Even if Dean didn't say, he could find out. After all, it wasn't a difficult matter.
The people at the other tables had already noticed the commotion here. Seeing the young man leave with his tail between his legs, they immediately whispered to each other.
From the whispers of these people, Dean also knew the identity of the young man. He was the youngest son of a famous noble lord. He listened to a few words, but was too lazy to listen anymore. These people were not on the same level as him. If it was not troublesome, he could easily solve it, so there was no need to care about it.
Dean sat for about half an hour. The door of the main hall slowly closed and the banquet officially began.
At this time, Dean saw the famous Rose Lord. She was a woman in her early thirties. Her temperament was elegant and noble. She had a bit of coldness and charm. It was easy for people to have a primitive desire to conquer her.
There were two guards next to the Rose Lord. They wore low-key armor, but the heat fluctuations in their bodies weren't covered. They were all dominators!
Dean's eyes slightly narrowed. At the same time, he noticed that the two guards also glanced at him. After seeing Dean's appearance, they turned their eyes away and didn't pay any attention to him.
Dean knew why they looked over. In the main hall, the noble lords only brought their daughters and family members. They didn't bring any guards, let alone bring weapons. This was a banquet, not a meeting hall. If anyone brought guards in, they would not give face to the Rose Lord. However, there were still three or four lords who brought guards. These guards were all pioneers. They were not conspicuous in the crowd.
But looking through the heat source, they could be seen at a glance. In the eyes of the two dominators, Dean was obviously a guard brought in by a noble.
After a series of polite greetings, the Rose Lord continued to talk about several things. However, it had nothing to do with the Ice Worm and the abyss. It was about the construction of the King's City and the construction of the new city. The construction of a new city required the efforts of many noble lords. After the new city was built, the nobles who contributed could have the priority to choose the most prosperous area in the city. Once they occupied a good area, they could open a shop and bring endless wealth to the nobles.
Dean listened to the Rose Lord talking about the construction of the new city in detail. It seemed that she didn't want to mention anything else. He couldn't help but frown. Could it be that the rumors that Rosik heard before were just rumors?
His eyes flashed. He sat quietly and ate his snacks. He didn't leave on the spot. Since he was here, he was not in a hurry to leave.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious with the melodious music and the songs of the invited poets. In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Rosik suddenly came to Dean and whispered, "Mr. Dean, do you want to participate in the matter of the Ice Worm?"
Dean raised his eyebrows, "How can I participate?"
Rosik looked at Dean's expression and knew what he meant. He whispered, "If you want to participate, I can ask for a place from the Rose Lord. The construction of the new city is to select the participants. She didn't say it clearly, but the meaning of the Rose Lord is very clear. If you don't have spare money and resources, you can leave. You see, many lords have withdrawn from the banquet. Now the ones who are staying are those who want to participate."
Dean looked up at him and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. He looked at the Rose Lord who was chatting with several noble lords in the distance. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I want to hear the specifics."
Rosik was relieved in his heart, but on the surface, he said, "That's natural. Since Mr. Dean has agreed, then when the banquet is about to end, the Rose Lord will talk about this matter openly. Mr. Dean will know what is going on at that time. I don't know now, but I got news from other sources. If you want to participate, then maybe you have to send people who are above the Pioneer level to be eligible to participate. So if Mr. Dean wants to participate, I hope you can participate on behalf of me …"
Dean knew what Rosik was thinking. He said, "You don't have to worry about this. If things are similar to what I think, then I won't go back on my words."
Rosik looked at him, nodded and turned away. He once again mixed into the crowd to talk with people.
