Chapter 162 Inverse Scales!

(The face-slapping section that the novel loves to hear is about to unfold, don't enter if you don't like it)
After the solemn and solemn swearing-in, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became lively again.

"Okay, I won't say much about the rest. In order to celebrate Baron Hillen's appointment, I announce that today, you can temporarily ignore the official management regulations issued by the empire, and drink to your heart's content, eat, drink, and have fun!"

As soon as Varian's voice stopped, there was a burst of applause in the banquet hall.

Not long after, the banquet hall was filled with laughter and laughter.

After the atmosphere became active again, Varian nodded with satisfaction, and then led Hellen to introduce today's guests one by one.

"This is the administrative officer of our Dorling Province, Viscount Mackintosh!"

"This is General Raphael, responsible for the security and defense of our entire province!"

"This is Viscount Nehemiah, a well-known nobleman in Kenshen City!"

"Who is this……"

Varian introduced to Helen one by one the prominent figures in Dorin Province, so that Hellen had a general understanding of the large and small forces in the entire Dorin Province.

After the introduction, Varian led Hellen to a banquet table and sat down.

Accompanying the guests was Viscount Nehemiah, a well-known aristocrat in the city of Kenshen just introduced.

"Your Excellency Hellen is truly a hero. He dared to single-handedly fight against Baron Bryan who is in collusion with the Lich. It really makes us old people who have lived for countless years feel ashamed."

Viscount Nehemiah complimented repeatedly.

Hellen smiled modestly: "Your Majesty Viscount is overrated. I just did what I should do, but I'm actually not alone. Thanks to the assistance of several elders from the Temple of the Erudite in Kenshen City. "

Hearing Hearon's words, Viscount Nehemiah couldn't help asking:
"The Temple of Erudition? It seems that Your Excellency Helen has a lot of negotiations, and even those elm heads in the Erudition Church who only know how to read books can be manipulated?"

Then he realized that his address seemed a bit impolite, and he showed an awkward yet polite smile.

Helen chuckled lightly, and didn't take it seriously, held Hepburn's left hand tightly, and said:

"It's also thanks to my wife. To be honest, my wife is a lifelong member of the Erudite Scholar's Guild, so I have the opportunity to get help from the elders of the Erudite Temple."

Nehemiah himself said in amazement when he heard the words: "I really didn't expect Mrs. Ling to be so versatile. They are such a talented couple, so good, so good!"

Hepburn smiled lightly and nodded in response.

As the conversation of the few people continued, Helen had doubts in his heart from time to time, and he didn't understand why the governor wanted to bring Viscount Nehemiah to accompany his guests.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, guessing when Varian would attack. He didn't believe that this old fox would be so kind, and just wanted to hold a welcome banquet for himself.

"Haha, this must be Your Excellency Hellen!"

A passionate voice sounded, and immediately after, a young nobleman in his 20s walked over to the dining table of Xillen and the others.

With a handsome face, a tall figure, a blue dress, a bright rose in the left pocket, and a gentle smile, it is easy to generate a lot of goodwill.

At this time, the young man was holding a goblet full of red wine, and smiled slightly at Hellen:

"My lord, Pepys Raphael, has hit it off with Your Excellency Heron. Would you like to do me a favor and have a drink with me?"

"Raphael? A very familiar surname. Oh, by the way, Varian introduced it just now. It seems to be the surname of a general in Dolin Province."

Helen pursed her lips slightly, stood up slowly, and also raised a wine glass:
"Your Excellency, Pepys, you are being polite. You must be the son of General Raphael. You are truly a father without a son!"

Pepys responded with a smile, and after the two lightly touched their glasses, they drank the wine in one gulp.

After seeing the scene in front of them, the rest of the guests in the banquet hall showed meaningful expressions, especially the delicate-looking noble ladies, who looked at Pepys with a lot of resentment.

Hellen had just come to Dolin Province, after all, he was not familiar with the place, and he didn't know the reputation of this Pepys.

According to Xillen's previous life, this kid is a standard playboy brother. It can be said that he cheats one after another, and cheats the previous one.

This move naturally aroused the envy and hatred of many people, but it is a pity that his father holds the military power and is Varian's capable general, so most of them choose to dare not speak out.

It stands to reason that although Pepys is the son of one of the generals on such an occasion, he is far from qualified to attend, but Varian still sent someone to send him an invitation, which is intriguing.

At this time, everyone in the banquet hall who knew Pepys' nature had stopped their work one after another, and their eyes drifted vaguely to the dining table of Hellen and the others, waiting for a good show to happen.

After all, a woman as beautiful as Hepburn was an excellent hunting target for Pepys.

Pepys Raphael, as the youngest son of the Raphael family, has always been favored and lawless.

As a qualified son of aristocrats, the trait of lust has been well carried forward by him.

With a decent skin, coupled with the identity that most people dare not easily provoke, Pepys has harmed countless girls in Dolin Province.

He was still wondering today, it was obviously a banquet to welcome the new lord, and none of his brothers and sisters were invited, so why did he receive an invitation letter?

But when he came to the banquet and saw Hepburn's fairy-like appearance, everything was no longer important.

Pepys felt his heart beating like a motor.

For many years, he has never seen such a top-notch woman!

This feeling reminded him of his first experience.

Soon, he learned all the information about this girl.

The wife of the new lord?
Pepys was determined, so what if a small barony was personally recommended by the governor?His father is a powerful general under Varian, how dare a little baron offend him?

Maybe once he reveals his identity, this little nobleman will take the initiative to offer his woman to please him.Thinking of this, Pepys felt a burning sensation in his heart.

So he saw an opportunity and prepared to try the depth of this little nobleman first!
Varian squinted his eyes slightly, quietly looking at Pepys who was toasting Hellen, with a flash of contempt in his heart.

Although he hated this kind of aristocratic dude who was idle all day long, it didn't affect his use of these scum to achieve some goals.

Smiling triumphantly in his heart, Wali quietly waited for the development of the matter.

After drinking with Pepys, Heron was about to sit back in his seat after he left, but unexpectedly, the kid didn't leave, but stayed where he was, waiting for something leisurely.

Pepys didn't go, and Hearon had no choice but to chat with him for a while.

After a while, Pepys suddenly turned his gaze to Hepburn next to Hearon, and praised:

"Madam Ling is as beautiful as a flower. You are really envious of others for being able to marry such a good wife."

Heron smiled slightly. He had heard similar flattery countless times, and thought he would stop here, but Pepys continued:
"I wonder if I'm lucky enough to dance with Madam Ling?"

Following this slightly excited voice, the atmosphere at the dining table suddenly became solemn.
