The dance is an important social event in the aristocratic circle of the meta-human empire.
Although the name is called a dance party, it is not really just focused on dancing, but a social evening that integrates tasting food, wine, enjoying music, etc. Its main purpose is to give nobles a platform to exchange information and enhance relationships. .
As one of the most powerful nobles in the empire, Archduke Neptune's ball naturally attracted a large number of people, including almost all the nobles in the imperial capital. Among them, the most eye-catching one is the "Hunter Count" played by Zhang Lang.
News spread quickly in the imperial capital. The news that this fiefdom count, like ordinary adventurers, went to the sewers to deal with monsters had already spread throughout the noble circles. The dirty sewer is definitely a forbidden area for nobles. Although they are worried about the monsters, no noble has ever gone down there. Everyone is very curious about the situation down there.
"There are a lot of monsters in the sewers! But they are all bluffing guys!"
Zhang Lang raised his glass and replied. He was now facing the organizer of this dance, the owner of the mansion, Duke Neptune.
The Duke looks to be in his fifties, slightly fat, of medium height, but with a very straight back, a neatly trimmed gray beard, and a majestic and deep look in his eyes, giving him an air of self-reliance. momentum.
This is one of the most powerful figures in the imperial capital, and even the entire empire, besides His Majesty the Emperor!
"Oh?" Grand Duke Neptune was a little skeptical: "But before, the kingdom's troops went out to clean up the monsters, but they all came back defeated. I heard that the adventurers who went out today also suffered heavy losses!"
"It's always uncomfortable to fight in an away game!" Zhang Lang replied: "And the strength gap between adventurers is also very large. Most of those who went down the mine rashly today are inexperienced!"
"It sounds like Earl Hunter is an experienced adventurer!" Grand Duke Neptune raised his glass: "I'm looking forward to your performance! The aristocratic circles in the imperial capital are now exaggerated, and they have long since lost the glory of the glorious goddess back then! There aren’t many people with real abilities like you!”
"The so-called goddess of glory is the huge angel statue in front of the Imperial Plaza." Xu explained the background of this season in Zhang Lang's mind:
"Legend has it that a long time ago, humans were a weak race on a continent where monsters were rampant. Until a thousand years ago, a pair of siblings were born! The sister was born with unparalleled magic power and could cast countless magics. One person could defeat thousands of armies. Horse; and my younger brother has unparalleled wisdom and strategy!"
"With the efforts of these two siblings, humanity, which had been weak for many years, finally rose up, eliminated monsters, expelled alien races, and established a powerful empire!"
"But later, in the newly stable empire, a mysterious dungeon suddenly appeared, just like the one that appears now... The monsters inside came out to cause trouble to the world. In order to deal with these monsters, my sister led a team into the dungeon , and finally the dungeon was destroyed, but the sister never came up again. In order to commemorate her sister, the younger brother, who later became the first emperor of the Pan-Human Empire, posthumously named her the goddess of glory, and she became the belief of the whole people, protecting the empire forever! "
After hearing Xu's introduction, Zhang Lang raised his glass and touched it with Neptune: "Your Excellency, the Duke is so complimentary! It's all the blessing of the goddess!"
This topic is not nutritious. It is basically just a way of getting close to each other to get acquainted with each other. Zhang Lang was even a little embarrassed and didn't know how to continue.
At this time, Su Mingda from the side intervened: "It's a pity that the monsters in the sewer are really nothing to worry about. The hunter is more worried about something deeper..."
"Oh?" Neptune looked at Su Mingda and asked Zhang Lang: "This is..."
"This is Mr. Su!" Zhang Lang introduced: "My personal physician...a very knowledgeable pharmacist!"
"Oh?" Neptune glanced at Suminda: "You said the deeper thing is..."
"My Lord Earl, didn't you tell me what you saw in the deepest part of the sewer?" Su Mingda pretended to be surprised, and then explained to Neptune: "My Lord is like this, he is relatively humble..."
"Actually, he has already killed the Rat Emperor Kalesta, but he hasn't claimed the credit yet!"
"Oh?" This topic made Duke Neptune's eyes light up: "Then the sewer crisis has been solved?"
"No...but it's even more troublesome!" Su Mingda sighed: "Calesta is actually guarding a door to a different world. What is connected behind the door is a more terrifying space, with more terrifying monsters in it!"
When Su Mingda said this, his voice rose slightly, and several nobles nearby heard this and came over. This guy then added fuel to the fire and told Zhang Lang what he had seen and heard on the second floor.
"Goddess, is it so dangerous?" Several nobles were secretly surprised when they heard this.
"Don't worry, everyone..." Su Mingda comforted: "At present, these monsters should not be able to come up! Moreover, I have seen introductions about this desert space in some ancient books. Although the monsters in it Dangerous, but also very useful!”
"usefulness?"
Not to mention the nobles, even Zhang Lang was curious now. He killed so many monsters and didn't pay attention to what's the use?
And what Su Mingda said next made Zhang Lang's eyes get bigger and bigger...
The skin of a sandworm can cure hair loss, the tail of a two-headed snake can aphrodisiac, the eyes of a giant ant louse have aphrodisiac effects... In short, these aristocratic old men are interested in the effects.
In Su Mingda's words, this underground desert and dangerous underground city are simply a treasure house full of medicinal materials! Many things don't even need to be eaten. As long as they are placed at home, they can bring good luck and avoid bad luck. In short, it is very mysterious!
Although it is a world with mysterious power, these nobles are not easy to fool. Several people, including Duke Neptune, were skeptical after hearing this.
"Let's do this!" Su Mingda said with a smile: "When my Lord Count goes deep into the mysterious desert again tomorrow and brings some trophies, I will give some trophies to a few of you and try the effect..."
This conversation ended with Su Mingda's nonsense and Zhang Lang's confused face. When leaving, Zhang Lang even asked Su Mingda in a low voice: "You are so bragging, what about your family?" Does anyone know?”
"It's not just me!" Su Mingda pointed to Le Xinyi, who was chatting and laughing with several noble ladies not far away.
Zhang Lang remembered that among those people, there was Duke Neptune's wife, and several others were also family members of the nobles of the Duke's faction.
As for the topic of conversation, Zhang Lang could hear it clearly no matter how far away he was. It was similar to what Su Mingda said. He was also bragging about the monsters in the desert and the so-called curative effects of precious medicinal materials!
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Lang asked curiously.
"We discussed this plan before you came back." Su Mingda whispered: "But the original plan was to use the monsters in the sewer as a talking point, but I was a little worried that the nobles would dislike it being dirty. Now it's just right for you After clearing the sewer, the medicinal materials from the desert should not cause any objection."
"As for the purpose... it's very simple, just to give gifts." Su Mingda smiled and said: "Although you are an earl, you can't touch the property in the house, right? How can you get closer to other nobles? How can you rely on me? A handsome face? We must give gifts! Since we have no money, we can’t buy some things with money, but we can brag about the things we can get!”
"No matter what the real effect is! At least we are sincere here. This is what you, 'Earl Hunter', worked hard to get! A sincere friendship with a powerful nobleman, isn't it worthy of friendship?"
"Of course, this premise is that your things must be rare enough!" Su Mingda said: "After all, there are hundreds of reincarnations here. You have to ensure that the progress of the strategy is ahead of the curve. You cannot let the things you give out be ruined. At least When delivering it, it shouldn’t be a waste, it’s best to have some attributes like first kill, first share, etc., so that this thing will have an extra layer of meaning!”
Su Mingda planned: "Looking at your performance in Sunset Fortress, this shouldn't be difficult, right? Those so-called heroes, I feel they are far behind you!"
After hearing this, Zhang Lang suddenly understood and raised his glass: "I understand. I'll pick some powerful and rare monsters to kill later!"
"Enlightened!" Su Mingda smiled and raised her glass and clinked it with him.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a red beard came over.
