In the increasingly tense atmosphere of New Haven, from the top to the bottom, Zhang Lisheng's expression changed.
The third day, the fourth day quickly passed.
Even though the major organizations sent more people to conduct a carpet search, they still didn't find anything for two days straight. Facing a Man Killer Fiend that might have been fully restored to "Senior Knight level", a lot of the higher-ups became anxious.
Until … the fifth day.
Da da da da … Da da da da …
The crisp sound of horse hooves stepping on the setting sun, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the magnificent "Rose Crown" hotel.
The gilded door opened, a tall and handsome young man stepped out.
Kacha — —
His black military boots made a crisp sound as he stepped on the tiles.
He had short brown hair, black eyes, and was dressed in a dark blue military uniform that made him look extraordinarily handsome. There was a standard longsword hanging from his waist. Although it looked simple, it could not hide the fact that it was a real weapon.
Just by standing there, he looked like a javelin piercing through the sky, his imposing aura was enough to draw attention.
After he got off the carriage, he didn't leave immediately, instead he turned around and bent down slightly, very gentlemanly caught a slender hand wearing a lace glove, and helped its owner off the carriage.
It was a beautiful lady dressed to the nines, wearing a lavender off-shoulder dress and silver high heels.
Her lips were red and her skin was white, her long hair was tied up behind her head, she wore a shiny hair accessory, revealing her snow-white slender neck, and on her chest was an emerald brooch. Her figure was so graceful that it was impossible to tell her age, only that she was a real beauty.
The lady gracefully got off the carriage and smiled at the young man holding her. Looking around, she saw a few familiar-looking noble ladies not too far away glancing over, glancing at the young man next to her, then quickly looking away.
Daphne covered her red lips and giggled, then lightly whispered into the young man's ear: "I didn't think our family's little Elvin would be so charming, to be noticed by so many beautiful ladies so quickly"
"Auntie, are you kidding me?"
Elvin was not in the mood to pay attention to the beautiful girls around him. Two days ago, the eighty or so students from the short training class had split into multiple groups and worked with the superhumans from other organizations to patrol the city nonstop.
Elvin came here not only because of his aunt's request, but also because he had a mission.
Although ordinary people were still in the dark, because of the Man Killer Fiends' rampage, there was no place that was absolutely safe in the entire New Haven (except for the New Haven Cathedral and Princeton's Sorcerer's Garden).
In yesterday's intelligence report, a noble family living in a manor in the suburbs was wiped out by the "devil's disciple."
In just four short nights, more than 500 people had been killed, including many of the upper echelons of society.
Even though the City Hall had not made any public announcement, many citizens had already sensed the abnormality in the city. Along the way in the carriage, the number of pedestrians on the road was significantly less than usual.
The higher-ups knew that the situation was dangerous.
Elvin even suspected that the purpose of tonight's banquet, which was organized by Consul Murdoch, was not as simple as he thought.
Gör, as a Navy Captain, "Kauper Manor" was also "fortunate" to receive an invitation.
Before Elvin knew it, Auntie Daphne's carriage had already stopped in front of the Naval Academy and invited Elvin to be her dance partner today.
At this point, there was no way he could send Auntie back. It might be safer for her to stay with him, so he went with the flow and agreed to attend the banquet with her.
But for the sake of caution, Elvin still brought his sword for actual combat instead of a decorative one, just in case something unexpected happened.
"Don't be shy, I invited you today to meet some of the upper echelons of New Haven. Don't worry, if there are suitable girls, Auntie will introduce them to you! "
Daphne, who was relatively uninformed in the suburbs, did not realize that there was something wrong with today's banquet. The main topic was still to introduce Elvin to a dignified "female friend".
Achievements and careers were men's business, as a woman, Daphne was obviously more concerned about the inheritance of the "Garriott family".
"Ahem, Auntie, let's go in."
There were more and more young women standing at the door, Elvin could not stand their undisguised gaze and hurriedly urged.
Daphne did not tease him anymore and reached out to grab Elvin's arm and walked into the hotel.
.....
When the two of them arrived, it was not very early. The guests had already gathered in twos and threes to chat with each other. The atmosphere was lively, as if they were not affected by the "Man Killer Fiend" incident.
The long table covered with a snow-white tablecloth was filled with all kinds of delicacies, amber-colored champagne towers were piled up high, and the musicians were already playing melodious and cheerful music to warm up the atmosphere.
The atmosphere was still as rich and peaceful as before, a stark contrast to the chaotic scene outside.
Those who were not in the know were still kept in the dark. Those who were in the know were obviously confident in the security of tonight's banquet with the consul, and were not worried at all that something out of control would happen!
"Dave, over here!"
The two of them had just walked into the banquet hall when they were discovered by Auntie Daphne's acquaintances, who affectionately called her over.
"Jenny, good evening! Shanna, Tulisa, you guys are early, "Daphne pulled Elvin over as she greeted her friends.
"Ah! Dai Fu, where did you find this little handsome guy? "
The three madams who were dressed up couldn't help but feel gossipy when they saw Elvin, who had an outstanding image and temperament beside Daifuli.
Tulisa, who was wearing a fiery red dress, with deep eyes and red lips, glanced at Elvin and teased: "Could it be that your Gör isn't home all year round …? Hahaha … "
"Tsk, you think everyone is like you?! You're already an auntie, but you're still as naughty as when you were young! " Daphne put her hands on her waist and laughed at her without getting angry. They were all too familiar with each other, so it was normal for them to joke around.
"This is my and Gör's nephew, Elvin Garrett, he's a 15 year old lieutenant commander in the navy!"
She turned around and introduced them to Elvin: "Jenny, Shanna's husband and your uncle Gör were navy officers in the same period. They both worked in the first fleet, and Tulisa's father was their old boss. We've been friends for more than a decade, and they're all very nice people. "
"Good evening to all the beautiful ladies!" Under Daphne's introduction, Elvin was like a real junior, greeting the family members of the navy officers one by one without changing his expression.
"Why are you only willing to show such an outstanding junior to us now? Even if they don't have high military positions, they can still take care of the younger generation after so many years. "
A normal 15 year old teenager would most likely still be studying in the Naval academy. Even if he graduated at 17, he would start as a warrant officer. To be able to meet the standards of strength and merit to become a field officer before the age of 20, he could be called a young talent no matter the occasion.
Now, Elvin's achievements on the surface were enough to be praised, even if he didn't take into account the few medals and his identity as a wizard.
Daphne was waiting for this sentence.
"Sigh, this kid has been following his uncle Gör in Gabred before, so he hasn't seen much of the world. This time, he came to New Ewen Harbor to participate in this year's short training … Most importantly, everyone must introduce our Elvin to a cute little lady … "
"As expected …" Elvin put his hand on his forehead, he knew that these aunties would not discuss anything else when they gathered together.
