Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 40 Banquet
A few days later, Imrik moved into the mansion on Hasantir Street as scheduled.

Soon, the neighbors who are either rich or expensive know that they have welcomed a mysterious master mage as a neighbor.

Of course, this does not affect these aristocratic courtesans from investigating Imrik's details. In fact, someone has already come to invite Imrik to participate in the luxurious dinner of these aristocrats.

In the morning, an invitation letter trimmed with exquisite borders was sent to the black-robed mage who was drinking tea on the large lawn at the back of the manor.

Imrik's newly hired butler delivered the letter: "My lord, this is the letter that was delivered just now."

Imrik summoned the invisible servant and ordered it to open the letter to read. There was a line of beautiful and gorgeous fonts on it:

"Dear Mr. Saul, welcome to Hasantir. I will hold a bonfire dinner at seven o'clock tonight. The theme is a white party. If Mr. Saul is interested, you are welcome to go. ——Joseph Nahum."

At the bottom of the letter, it is also thoughtfully marked that the dinner dress is limited to white, so as to prevent the new neighbors from making a fool of themselves, which can be said to be extremely attentive.

Imrik ticked the mark indicating whether he is sure to go, handed it to the butler and asked casually, "Send this letter back. By the way, do you know the situation of the Nahum family?"

The butler put his hands behind his back and answered his master in a cadenced tone: "The Nahum family is the wealthiest family in Hasantir Street. They often hold various dinner parties to attract various nobles. If you want to take this opportunity to integrate into the upper class of the North District, sir, it is a good choice."

Imrik nodded lightly. Although he didn't like crowded and noisy environments, it was a good choice to meet some contacts in the current situation of Waterdeep City's dark eyes.

evening.

A handsome young man in a white dress with snowy hair and deep dark eyes came to the gate of Nahum Manor.

The butler who greeted the distinguished guests at the door couldn't help being stunned when he saw Imrik's handsome and bewitching strange face. Looking at the other's luxurious clothes, he secretly guessed whether the other party was a half-elf hybrid.

"Who are you?" the butler asked politely.

"Imric Saul."

The butler checked the banquet table in his hand, and said with a warm and flattering smile: "Welcome, respected master mage, please come inside."

Imrik walked through the gate, walked through the magnificent banquet hall, and came to the huge lawn of the manor.

The bonfire dinner held by the Nahum family this time is an open-air party, and there is a huge frozen sculpture in the center of the lawn, which is filled with various fruits.

Imrik couldn't help but lamented the Nahum family's intentions. A large number of servants walked among the nobles, and the plates in their hands were filled with snacks and drinks, serving every visitor to the slightest.

Following his arrival, Imrik's almost monstrous appearance attracted the attention of many nobles present, who came over to greet him one by one, and soon, many people gathered around him.

Knowing that he was a wealthy fifth-level mage who had just arrived, the nobles present couldn't help being moved. For these little nobles, he was a perfect marriage partner.

Many aristocratic ladies and even "ladies" present gathered around Imrik to play coquettishly. Even Imrik, who is well-developed among social algorithmists, felt that he could not handle it flawlessly.

At this time, a fat middle-aged man came over, and said with a naive smile: "Oh, is this the new Mr. Saul who has moved in? What a talent, I am the owner of this manor, Joseph Nahum."

Imrik shook hands with him, smiled back and said, "Hi, Mr. Nahum, your manor is very beautiful, and I like the elements of the dinner party very much."

Joseph happily opened his hands and said, "Oh, as long as you are satisfied, my biggest hobby is to let my distinguished guests have fun in my manor."

After speaking, he continued to smile and greet the other nobles one by one. It is not difficult to see that the Patriarch Nahum is a very sociable noble.

"Have you heard that the young master of the Malgest family will come tonight." A noble lady next to her covered her face with a fan and whispered to another lady next to her.

"Hehe, would that group of Illuskans actually participate in such an elegant banquet?" Another lady sneered.

Imrik couldn't help being curious, so he asked, "Two beautiful ladies, what is the origin of the Malghest family?"

When the two ladies saw the handsome mage looking at them, they couldn't help but smiled and said, "Handsome guy, you don't know, the Malghest family is a big noble in the North District, and their family is a group of land transportation and bulk cargo trade.

The Illuskans of Yi, I heard that there is still a seat among the masked lords. "

Another woman said disdainfully: "It's just nouveau riche. The Illuskans are all guys who don't understand noble etiquette. They are a group of barbarians. I don't believe that they can be masked lords. Most of them are bragging about themselves."

Imrik nodded thoughtfully. It seems that the Malghest family is the biggest nobleman in today's banquet.

After a while, a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes walked in, with a burly figure and flamboyantly wearing a pair of white knight armor.

Seeing this, many nobles couldn't help discussing in whispers.

Imrik also heard the lady next to him who had a lot of opinions on the Malghest family sneer: "God, wearing a suit of armor to attend the banquet, is this something a nobleman with a brain can do?"

Joseph was the first to stand up and warmly greeted the young master of the Malghest family. After a while, the two walked over.

"Apollo, let me introduce you, this is the new Mr. Sol, he is a mage!"

The blond man showed two rows of big white teeth confidently, and stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Mage, I wonder if you are interested in forming an adventure team with me, and have an exciting and romantic adventure!"

Imrik was speechless, and glanced at Joseph next to him, as if he wanted him to explain what was going on.

Joseph patted his head and said with a wry smile: "Young master, don't invite people just because you see a professional. Do you think your old mother might let you go out for an adventure?"

Apollo retorted eloquently: "That's only because I haven't formed my adventurer team yet. Since I was born, I know that romantic genes flow in my blood. Adventure is my natural mission. Even my mother can't stop me from leaving my legend in Faerun!"

Imrik looked at the sophomore boy with a dark face. He really wanted to tell him how cruel the real adventure was, but he didn't want to waste these useless efforts.

Apollo looked at Imrik with glowing eyes, and asked excitedly: "Mr. Mage, I don't know if you have been to Dunan's Tavern. My dream is to go to the mysterious Leyline Lost City through there, and wipe out that mad mage of Helast!"

Imrik twitched the corner of his mouth, probably the other party would never have the chance to eliminate the legendary mage in this life.

He said helplessly: "It is true that I have been there, but I only stayed on the first few floors. It is actually quite dangerous to take risks."

Before he finished speaking, Apollo interrupted him excitedly: "Really, that's great. I wonder if Mr. Mage can accompany me to Dunan's Tavern tomorrow. I have always wanted to experience the atmosphere there! I heard that the author of tomorrow's legendary travelogue is Varozamp Gedham, who will hold a book club there to tell about his legendary experience!"

Imrik's expression changed. Varozamp Gedam is a famous travel writer in Faerun. He has traveled around the world and produced many guides to help adventurers understand various regions.

For example, Varo’s Guide to Waterdeep, Varo’s Guide to the North, Varo’s Sword Coast Guide, Varo’s Monster Guide, Varo’s Guide to Baldur’s Gate, etc. It can be said that the word well-informed was created for him.

In contact with such people, you will definitely learn a lot of unknown things.

Imrik made up his mind and said with a smile: "No problem, I have admired Lord Valo for a long time, let's go together tomorrow."
