Returning from the low-magic world, do artificial intelligence first.

Chapter 527 Different Circles - Undercurrent
"I have never participated in a dinner party of this level before. Magic items, as expected of Earl Lie Yan, used magic items on such a large scale."

Shatia lowered her voice and said to Wang Yi, as if she was also a little shocked.

"Is it strange?"

Wang Yi asked in a low voice, which attracted Shatia's coquettish white eyes.

But now she is also a little clear that her man is very strong, but he may be an archmage from Floating Void City, a little 'ungrounded', so she patiently explained
"I have a good relationship with Baroness Dunik, but Baron Dunik's house only has one set of exquisite tableware for decoration, and the nobleman spends a lot to maintain his decent life..."

From Shatia's simple explanation, we can also know that many nobles are actually relatively poor. The nobles with fiefs have a lot of income, but the same expenses are not small. If you don't have economic acumen, you can't save it in a year. a few dollars.

For example, Baron Danik's main income is some taxes from the miserable town of Danik, as well as two mills and farmland.

Because of the proximity to the World of Warcraft Forest, the fertility of the land here is relatively low, and the farmland does not produce much food. After deducting the expenses of private soldiers, the expenses of maintaining the town and castle, the expenses of servants and the expenses of daily decent life, there may be more Not as comfortable as Shatia.

"It also makes them very happy to serve them from my tavern. Life may be easier in the future."

Shatia said with a smile, if she hadn't had a good relationship with Mrs. Danik, and she was eager to make a move in order to keep up with this unconscionable person, if she used the form of bidding, she might be able to go up by [-] to [-]%.

As for this purely decorative and life-improving magic item, it is quite a luxury for the little nobles.

The gorgeous magic chandelier seems to be inlaid with crystals, layer by layer.

The red carpet on the ground is also woven with enchanted silk threads. Not only does it have a soft feeling when wearing shoes, but it also seems to have a slight self-cleaning and water-proof effect.

The decoration and tableware of the banquet are also exquisite, and the statues on both sides of the hall seem to be made by masters, which are lifelike.

Especially on the rear wall of the background board in the center of the hall, there is a lifelike bird head statue alone, which is the image of the flame bird.

The bird's haughty look down was carved vividly, but everyone who saw the statue could also remember that this heroic and powerful Warcraft lord was driven away by the Earl of Lie Yan at the beginning!This also represents the earl's current strongest record.

"Oh, I didn't expect that."

Wang Yi glanced at the gorgeous magic chandelier in the center, as well as the statues inscribed with dehumidification ability on the corners, and felt that the workmanship was actually average, and it should be an ordinary official mage's craftsmanship.

And it can't be self-sufficient, and it needs to consume magic crystals.

The dehumidification and temperature regulation functions of the sculptures are not integrated, but the sculptures in the two rows each have their own different functions, and what needs to be activated.

In general, it has something to do with the material and the concentration of magic power.

What really used more silver was the castle's defensive circle.

From this point of view, Earl Luke is actually a relatively pragmatic person. Good steel is used on the blade. The magic items displayed at the dinner party here are generally enough to maintain the face of his Earl.

At least for those who don't know how to do it, it can still be fooled.

"Oh dear Yi, we meet again."

President Mike of the Bard Guild came to greet Wang Yi with a gentle curly-haired beauty on his arm.

Judging from the natural smile on his face, it seemed that the previous unhappiness never happened at all.

He knew that this person might be an official sorcerer, so it would be more normal to have the elven score.

However, he didn't publicize this matter. He only revealed a little bit when Master Weber Tailor came to inquire about it some time ago.

Looking at the material and style of the gowns on them now, a trace of envy appeared on Mike's face.

Sure enough, the official mage is amazing. This should be made by Master Weber with care. It doesn't look high-profile, but it fits very well.

"Your dresses are beautiful."

Mike sighed. If someone from Earl Luke's mansion came to ask about it, he might reveal something, but they didn't.

After all, I just invited a singer, there is no need to play back tunes.

Although Mike himself appeared here in a well-dressed manner, in fact, he came to sing and sing to enliven the atmosphere.

However, he was not worried that this official mage would be unhappy. He could sing in a tavern without putting on airs, that is, he was greedy at the beginning, otherwise he might still get some interest if he tried his best to befriend him. Unexpected benefits.

What a pity...

"Your dresses are beautiful, too, Sir Mike."

Wang Yi didn't care too much about it. The descendants of the nobles have such virtues, so what can we expect from him?

At any rate, people have done things beautifully, so that's fine.

This kind of utilitarian, realistic and current affairs person can sometimes use it quite conveniently, and they might be able to use it at any time.

At present, "The Savage Out of the Mountain" can be said to have been completely spread.

The elf style, coupled with the low difficulty and catchy words, many bards have begun to actively learn and spread passively.

And that boy Beifeng seems to have gone to the small town of Danik to spread the song during this period of time. I don't know what it will be like to meet the players directly...

At the scene, Wang Yi was also familiar with Mike and the others, and naturally they were chatting with each other.

Mike originally wanted to actively make up for the relationship, and even used that unpleasant impression to complete the reversal, so he has been helping Wang Yi introduce the identity of the guests here.

Doyle, the president of the Merchant Guild, is still the boss of a large chamber of commerce. He has more than ten professional masters under his command. His business has already gone to neighboring countries. It is said that his son has a talent for magic. A school of magic to study.

And it is said that it may be that following the Chamber of Commerce, he has been sensitive to numbers since he was a child, and has the potential to become a mage.

Magic schools teach magic knowledge, but most of them cannot become real mages, and some spell-casting tools, enchanters, or both magic and martial arts account for the majority.

There is also a Baron Zack's daughter who is also talented in magic. Although he has been advocating that his daughter is a mage, according to Mike's gossip, it seems that she is only a little talented in enchanting.

As the president of the bard guild, although he did not reveal all kinds of private information like the thieves guild, he knew quite a lot of information on the surface.

And because he suspected that Wang Yi was an official mage, the people he introduced were more or less related to mages.

"Even among the nobles, they would be proud to produce a mage. A mage has a strong ability to make money, but the ability to burn money is also very strong, especially before becoming a talent..."

Mike also had some emotion on his face at this time.

But his wife should be a little impatient, looking around a little absent-minded.

"Don't you have a good relationship with Baroness Zach? They're over there, so let's go too."

Mike didn't want his wife to make a mistake, so he found a reason to send her away.

He knew exactly what kind of temperament his wife was, so he could hint to Weber, but he would not tell his wife about it.

"Okay, then I'll go there first, Ms. Shatia, do you want to come together? Let me introduce you to a few friends."

Although Mrs. Mike was a little impatient and absent-minded, she still did a good job on the surface, and even sent an invitation to Shalltear.

"No, I want to accompany Yi."

Shalltear was not interested in these.

"Are you afraid that your little lover will be seduced by other foxes? Then I will excuse you first."

Mrs. Mike covered her mouth and giggled, made a little joke, then excused herself and left, and went to the group of ladies.

Although Mike himself is only a descendant of aristocrats now, the main task of coming here this time is to sing.

But no matter what, he is still the president of the bard guild in the big city of Dunno, and his wife can still enter the circle of little noble wives by relying on his status...

7 eighty chapters
"The difference is clear."

Wang Yi casually took a glass of red wine next to him, looked around and said something playfully.

Although many people came to this dinner, most of the dignified people in Dunno City probably came.

But even if they attend the same dinner party, they can still be regarded as distinct, and each has its own circle.

Except for Earl Luke's family who have not yet arrived, the top four are the top four.

Pusen, the chief butler of the Earl's Mansion, entertaining the guests instead of the host.

Master Sente, the owner of the only mage tower in the city.

Responsible for the daily management of the city, Viscount Dai Li was directly sent by the capital.

Earl Luke's right-hand man, the City Guard Baron Doffer who controls the city defense and possesses the strength of a high-level professional level.

Among them, Viscount Dairy is directly loyal to the Duke of Cotton, and can be regarded as an imperial envoy. His position has the meaning of restraining the local lord, but Mike said that the relationship between the Duke of Cotton and Earl Luke is very good, and this Viscount is here to symbolize Meaningful tool man, completely obeying Earl Luke, is just a mouthpiece.

But no matter what, he is still a direct imperial envoy, so his status must be second only to Luke.

At this time, the few of them were chatting together, and no one else approached within a few meters of them, and the special space was set aside to highlight their status.

As for the others, nobles and nobles get together, rich businessmen get together, and the wives of both parties are almost the same.

To some extent, Mike could squeeze into the circle of a few minor nobles, but Wang Yi had an official mage on his side, so he naturally chose to steal chickens from the side.

In some of Mike's introductions, the scene soon became a lot quieter, and Mike also lowered his voice and said
"It should be the Earl and they are here."

Sure enough, the four people with the highest status in the banquet restaurant also stopped talking, and the butler Pusen came directly to an item that seemed to have a magical amplification effect and said:

"Welcome the host of today's banquet, our lovely Miss Barbara's family, and welcome our patron saint of Dunno City, Earl Luke!"

Immediately there was a burst of applause and various praises at the scene.

"It was Count Luke who saved the whole city from the flame bird's claws."

"Look at the statue in the background of the banquet hall, it's the head of the flame bird."

"Miss Barbara is lovely and sure to be a great beauty like her mother."

"I heard that Earl Luke likes his daughter very much. As the eldest daughter, even if Earl Luke gives birth to a son in the future, as long as he still supports her, she may become the Countess."

"..."

Amidst all kinds of praises and some private exchanges, Earl Luke, who had red hair and was wearing a dress, also appeared at the venue with his wife and daughter.

Earl Luke looked very young on the outside, in his 30s, and he was also very handsome, with a decent black dress showing a sense of sternness.

Even if there is no special breath to induce magic power, it still brings an invisible pressure to people.

His wife is wearing a white dress, the skirt has been dragged to the ground, exposing the northern hemisphere and round shoulders, shining brightly.

Although the protagonist of this banquet, Barbara, is only six years old, she can already see the embryo of a beauty. Wearing a princess dress, she looks like an exquisite doll. Her sapphire eyes are inherited from her father, and her hair is from her mother. pale gold.

Wang Yi focused more on Countess Luke Lilith.

Not only is she beautiful, but also because she seems to be a professional-level spellcaster. From the perspective of pure mental fluctuations, there is a high probability that she is still a formal mage.

It's just that all the rumors I've heard so far, including Mike, who is well-informed and well-informed, have never heard that the countess is a mage.

And Wang Yi also took the opportunity to directly complete the 'photographing', 'screen recording' and 'screenshot'. With his ability, he didn't need to use any extra props, and he could directly 'cloud record'.

Based on the current situation of the players, there are not many people who can break through the forest of monsters and reach the town of Danik. Due to the current mobility of the players themselves, Dunno City will become the core of the player's activities for a long time in the future District, it is also good to know the local lord in advance.

It's best for me to tinker with a mage tower here...

But just when Wang Yi thought about it a little bit, he felt a gaze staring at him, and when he glanced over, he found that it was the little birthday star Barbara who looked like a doll.

At this moment, she was staring at herself with those piercing sapphire eyes, filled with a sense of vigilance.

This made Wang Yi feel a little stunned.

What did this little thing find?Not so, even with the level of mental power of innate yin and yang eyes, it is not possible to discover anything.

I don't have any resentment around me.

But then looking at the little thing's swollen cheeks, Wang Yi seemed to have realized something.

Is it a bit impolite to stare at her beautiful mother for so long...

After thinking about something, Wang Yi couldn't help showing a dumb smile, then blinked at the little girl, and put his finger on his mouth to maintain a general confidentiality gesture.

But in return, the little girl hummed and turned her head. Then Wang Yi raised his head and looked at Earl Luke's gentle eyes. The other party seemed to have noticed his daughter's little move, and nodded apologetically to Wang Yi.

Gentle, handsome and powerful, Earl Luke gave Wang Yi a good first impression.

"Thank you for taking the time to attend my little girl's birthday dinner. Recently, the north has been a bit unstable, and it has even affected our prices..."

Earl Luke made a simple speech when he arrived at the scene. Although he didn't say much, his tone was calm.

But Wang Yi also understood the main purpose of this banquet.

Apart from the fact that it happened to be that kid's birthday, Earl Luke seemed to want to ring the bell to calm everyone down.

In fact, there was a conflict in the north, not to mention that there was no fight yet, even if there was a fight, it would not be adjacent to Dunno City. Dunno City was mainly defending the Principality of Nott on the side.

Even in the area bordering Yidai Kingdom, the conflict zone almost spans the entire Yidai Kingdom, and the distance is still very far.

There may be nearby merchants who transport grain to sell nearby, but the impact on the whole is actually not that big.

It's just that for businessmen, profit-seeking is nature!
Do they care about fighting in the north?Concerned about the long journey?

Actually don't care!

If they are sold at this price here, will it still be worth the toll if they are shipped over?
There's no rail transport here, and the Donno River doesn't lead to a war zone.

These businessmen are just looking for an excuse to use this information to join forces to raise prices.

It just so happens that now is the time when the crops are in short supply, as long as the price of food is raised together, it will attract looting by ordinary civilians, which will raise it again.

Wang Yi didn't care much about the price, but Earl Luke himself said that the price of food had tripled!And looking at the momentum, there is still a tendency to continue to run upwards.

Many people in Dunno City work for a living, and their families do not have any farmland. This will undoubtedly make life difficult for the lower class.

Anyway, Wang Yi saw that many people at the scene changed their faces slightly because of Earl Luke's blowing...

Chapter 781 Undercurrent

"The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish."

Wang Yi felt the solemnity of the scene, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

For these high-ranking big shots, let alone the fact that the incident happened between the Kingdom of Yidai and the Principality of Dia, so what if the Principality of Kedun really had a conflict with someone?

As long as they don't fight the neighbors next door and don't let things happen to them, they still have their own way to make a fortune.

Even just finding an excuse can speed up the accumulation.

In fact, Wang Yi was quite curious about the information that Shatia had inquired from the Merchant Guild before.

As a result, some profiteers took the opportunity to take advantage of some 'good' news to operate.

Because most of the resources are in the hands of the nobles and those wealthy merchants, as long as they have a tacit understanding to reach an alliance, they can easily drive up prices. This is a long-standing routine.

It’s okay if it’s driven up by some other things, at most it’s a decline in the quality of life, and you can be a waiting party.

But food, something that is closely related to survival, can leave a simple but tragic mark in the history books every time there is a problem.

Talking about a few words of description, it represents thousands of people starving to death, a real human tragedy!
But all of this is completely indifferent to some people, because they have squeezed everything from the dead with the grain in their hands.

What does it matter how many people die?If the conflict continues to reap benefits, they would like to fight forever.

Even if the Principality of Keton will choose to provide some humanitarian food aid at that time, it will not affect them at all. When the Principality uses its own tax revenue to buy food from them and send it over, it will have a greater impact. operating space.

It's impossible to let them out for free!

This made Wang Yi couldn't help but glance at Earl Luke whose tone was gradually becoming serious.

This guy, if something really happens, he is a good lord.

Although Earl Luke is the supreme commander in the east of the Principality of Keton, the real lord with canonized authority, and the great power belongs to himself, after repelling the flame bird, he has almost secured the position of the first master of the Principality of Keton.

However, after all, things are done by people. Even a great lord like him with a high concentration of power in all parties will face a lot of resistance if he forcibly suppresses groups under him that already have common interests.

In many cases, it is not something that can be done simply and rudely.

Compromise is an art in itself.

No matter how strong Luke is, No. 1 in the East, he does not have the ability to clone after all. If he really gets the unanimous resistance from the following, he will probably be smeared to the outside world.

But of course, if Luke can secure his current position at such a young age, he must still have a group of cronies available in his hands. Combined with his own strength and status, although this strong pressure has caused the originally cheerful banquet scene to be somewhat dignified.

But soon, Doyle, the president of the Merchant Guild, took the lead in breaking this solemnity.
"What the earl said is that the price of food has tripled now, but it can't grow any longer. If this continues, there will be trouble."

After having his beginning, there are immediately followed by others' approval and approval.

However, Wang Yi could see that the president of the Merchant Guild was not actually supportive of Earl Luke. The main purpose of his speech was to 'can't grow any longer', and of course, he wouldn't fall!

At least it doesn't seem to be visible in the short term!
Most of the echoing voices in the back were from this interest group, and there were so many followers that they quickly colored the entire banquet scene.

Luke glanced calmly and nodded, then raised his glass and said

"Then, I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation."

After speaking, he took a sip.

Obviously, facing some things, even he, the No.1 in the East, needs to compromise.

In an instant, the scene returned to the happy and harmonious state, and it was not at all obvious that it had experienced a blowout and a secret confrontation related to the livelihood of the people in the entire east at the beginning.

In the end, both sides compromised with each other and got what they wanted.

The venue naturally became harmonious.

When the music sounded, everyone returned to being polite and smiling gentlemen...

"The face of a noble is still the same."

Wang Yi also took a sip of wine with a smile, reminiscing about the situation in the other world, and commemorating his lost youth.

And Mike next to him couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when he heard Wang Yi's voice.

He, who has always claimed to be a descendant of the nobility, actually has the same taste. The music score has happened once before.

In fact, he was also involved in the drive-up and hoarding of material prices this time. After all, the bard guild is still quite fast in understanding superficial information, and he will not be slower than the thieves guild in knowing such major events.

He even sold a few more familiar nobles with this news.

It's just that he doesn't have much money for his little arms and legs, so he just drinks some soup along with him.

In addition to some of the money he borrowed, the return rate of several times did make him feel a little resentment towards Earl Luke at the beginning.

But now after hearing Wang Yi's words, he has calmed down. It's not bad to be able to win this one, and it's okay to accept it when you see it.

Just like the score before, if he kicked such an iron plate, if he didn't know how to flatter him, Earl Luke's iron plate would be even harder!
After all, not everyone found the opportunity to complete the harvest this time, and the real talk fell apart. He and another group of people completed the cleaning, and all the money they earned would become wedding dresses.

Now it's not bad to find a level that is acceptable to both parties.

"Master Yi, according to the rhythm of a general banquet, I will start playing later, and if you guessed correctly, you will also treat your music as a gift when several big shots give gifts to the Countess. "

Mike quickly and secretly reminded Wang Yi, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the butler Pusen to come over and greet them both with smiles.

"At that time, I will trouble you two. The organ is ready, and it will be given to you two as a return gift after the banquet."

"Haha, Mr. Pusen, don't worry, I'm also an old actor at the banquet, Master Yi, please remind me."

Mike laughed, looking very natural.

And what Pusen and Wang Yi said was exactly as Mike had guessed before, and it was the ending song when Barbara received the gift.

Soon, Mike took the organ and appeared in the center of the venue, and received a burst of applause. Wang Yi could even see many ladies and ladies winking at him. It seems that although this old boy's character is not What the hell, but the popularity is still good.

A guy who clearly wants to make things difficult for him in front of him, but can immediately turn around and start licking afterward, is not bad in popularity...

Following Mike's performance, Wang Yi also discovered that his level is indeed quite outstanding.

The rhythm of the organ in the hand, the steps under the feet, the joyful expression on the face, and the high-pitched range that is completely different from the sad wind, the skills are just right.

There should also be some kind of unique breathing method, which can specially enhance the voice and lung capacity. The skills and singing skills are all here, and the story of Earl Luke's repelling the flamingo was sung, and the atmosphere of the scene was well controlled.

Even that little birthday star, Barbara, was full of pride and joy at this time. This was her father's greatest achievement, and she grew up listening to this story.

However, Wang Yi could see that although Earl Luke was listening with a smile, he seemed to be sighing instead.

It seems that the attack of the flamingo bird was indeed plotted by someone, and he himself knew it well.

Although it is cooking oil on a raging fire, it is not a kind of flattery.

For such a young peak knight, there is hope for a legend!

Then you Keton Principality, do you want to become the Keton Empire?
Is it normal for an empire to occupy the entire Astor Plain?
It's not clear which party did this, but it could be considered a conspiracy of some kind.

Even the Principality of Nott, which has been on a truce with Keton for 20 years, may be vigilant. This cannot be resolved simply by showing goodwill and making promises.

You can't even show resistance to this matter, otherwise there will be no silver 300 taels here.

tsk~
The attack five years ago planted a seed to some extent, a seed that could explode at any time, and all it needed was an opportunity.

In fact, the recent conflict between the Kingdom of Yidai and the Principality of Dia can be used as an introduction...

Wang Yi turned his head to look at the wealthy businessmen and ladies at the venue, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Although none of them are as big as Weber's cockroach, and they don't have a hero rank, they are all considered top professional ranks.

With Luke's strength at the hero level, if he doesn't have strong concealment skills, if there is hostility, he may be easily detected by him.

But the professional level does not actively let the breathing method induce magic power, so it is really hard to see anything in ordinary situations.

And these participants who mixed into the banquet didn't seem to be instinctive, and they didn't have any magical atmosphere. They should be a purely physical disguise for the image.

The legendary human skin mask?

If the body shape and face shape also have to match, there may be some kind of unique breathing method that can change the bones in a short time.

He is quite a professional assassin.

With this lineup, if there is a surprise attack, it may indeed pose a threat to the strong players who have just entered the hero level. The best performance range should touch the opponent's lowest performance range.

But as Earl Luke who was able to repel the Flamingo, that was almost impossible.

If it's not that you want to give it for nothing, maybe there are some other means and backhands.

tsk~
What a good excuse, Earl Luke pressured the nobles below to dissatisfy and was assassinated. This is your own problem in the Duchy of Keton, and it cannot be blamed on others...
