The installation of the magic furnace and preparations for the ball were all concentrated in a few days at the end of the month. Now that the installation of the magic furnace has been completed, Lant must concentrate on the party.
In the castle, Tania once again opened some rooms for the representatives of the nobles from the royal capital to rest.
Outside the castle, Lant built a series of hotel buildings and asked the magisters of the Blue Dragon family to complete the decoration for small and medium-sized nobles to live in.
Within three days of the ball, the teleportation hall began to strictly screen the people passing by. Assassins and thieves did not dare to enter Yeqi City again, and all those who had already entered were found by the patrolling knights.
The orcs whose hands were not stained with blood were put back and became the subordinates of the hyena man Gilti, and the rest became points in the hands of the knights; and gradually there was a rumor in the underground world of the royal capital: someone who could survive in Yeqi City There is always something to be gained for thieves and assassins who survive.
On the 32nd, almost all the nobles of the Northwest Territory arrived, including the eldest son and youngest daughter of Earl Maned Wolf, as well as all the viscounts and barons themselves. For his former colleagues, Lant was very generous and set aside a block in the city as their permanent residence. Not only did he build a series of small buildings with about 3 floors, he also arranged a special chamber of commerce to allow these small buildings to be located. Nobles can sell territorial specialties in the city.
"What a hell, a guy who tried to fawn over me last year, and now he's lucky enough to win over my future vassal in front of me!" Fernando Maned Wolf, the eldest son of the Northwest Earl, looked at Lant who was not far away. , muttering quietly.
However, when Huck took him to see the big house belonging to the Maned Wolf family, the eldest son still smiled into slits and thanked him repeatedly.
In the afternoon, small and medium-sized nobles from the royal capital also arrived. Many of them were Lant's former neighbors. At this time, they were very lucky that they had been with Lant when he first settled in the royal capital. Otherwise, a group of How could a palace baron and viscount receive an invitation from the master of Yeqi City?
For the old neighbors in the capital, Lant has also set aside a block to sell small 2- and 3-story buildings at a preferential price. If they can't afford the money at the moment, their children in Yeqi City can borrow money from the college. , Rand is willing to advance some gold coins to the students, or repay them with points in the future.
Those who have the same preferential policy for purchasing houses include teachers from Blue Dragon School, colleagues from the Knights of Longtai Mountain, and officials from the ruling office of Dragon Tooth City, who are Huck’s nominal colleagues.
When Lant made the announcement at the reception dinner, the little nobles present burst into joy. Many of the little nobles teleported back to the royal capital before it was over, and brought gold coins and their families from home.
The excitement of the scene was second only to the banquet the night before, where Lant announced a more favorable policy for purchasing houses in Yeqi City to his subordinates.
Albert calmly looked at Lant who was surrounded by the small nobles, but in his heart he was thinking about how much benefit this nephew had given up.
Elanda Maned Wolf, the flower of the Maned Wolf on the other side, was even more direct. When they met, she said to Lant: "Sir, you are so generous. I heard that students of Yeqi College also get discounts when buying houses. I will buy one." How many gold coins does the set cost?”
"Don't the Maned Wolf's houses have centralized locations? If you want a set of your own, you can also buy it. I'll give you the internal price," Lant said with a smile.
"Great, it's settled." Maned Wolf Flower was very happy. It seemed that the count's youngest daughter was not interested in living with her family at all.
Derek Maned Wolf, the second son of Earl Maned Wolf, brought a young girl over to see Lant, and introduced his female companion with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is Jessica Baixiao, Lord Count. We want to buy a house in Yeqi City, but we want to avoid a few blocks from the local aristocracy, do you think you can make arrangements?"
Seeing Derek wink at him, Lant probably understood that the couple was still in the underground stage and didn't want to be disturbed. Derek's idea is very common among aristocratic young people. The more powerful the demon possessor in the human race, the longer their lifespan, and the more frequently their partners will change.
This is also the reason why Huck has not supported Lant in training a few girls before. What if the girls become magisters and marry into the imperial capital one after another.
Lant patted Derek on the shoulder and said quietly: "Mace Frostwolf has several houses in the local area. You can discuss it with him."
Derek nodded understandingly. He and Mace Frostwolf had done business together several times, and the two people who were both leaders of the caravan naturally understood each other better.
When Lant finished receiving the last nobleman from the royal capital, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. The whole day of social activities made him physically and mentally exhausted. Lant did not even go back to his huge bedroom. I fell asleep directly in the meditation room.
In tonight's dream, Lant did not go back to that station, but dreamed of the cat cafe where he went for his first blind date. The kittens were running around, a civet was sleeping in his arms, and the cat's touch and... The smell was so clear that the woman in front of him was completely unrecognizable.
At that moment, Lant clearly knew that he was dreaming, but he didn't want to wake up, because he was not sure whether he could dream of those faces in his previous life again. Although it had been almost a year since he came to the new world, he always felt that he was dreaming. He is still an ordinary office worker, not a knight lord with the power of a magician.
When he opened his eyes again, Lant found that he was leaning on a soft and even warm flesh pad. He saw that the hoof on one side looked a bit like fire, but had no magic marks. Until a pair of strong hands helped him to do it. , only to realize that it was a human girl named Kay.
"Are you very tired after receiving so many people?" Kai blushed and asked Lant softly, "If you are tired, you can rest against me for a while."
"Yes, it's quite tiring, even more tiring than hunting gray goose." Lant said with a wry smile, "Why does Kay care so much about me today?"
"Tanya said that you have been working very hard recently and asked Wendy and I to take care of you more," the girl said seriously, "Wendy has to work overtime today to build the magic pattern breeding tank, so Kai came to take care of you."
"Well, it's good. I was very tired just now. Fortunately, Kai is here." Lant smiled, "You just came back from the royal capital, right? The big bathroom has been renovated in the past two days. You can go over and try it, but Feeling comfortable."
"Oh, is it the big bathroom you had to bulldoze that time?" Kaye's eyes were full of stars. She had never experienced taking a bath since arriving in the territory, so she was looking forward to it.
"Similar, but I asked Tenia and Fianna to add some life magic patterns in it to prolong life." Lant said with a smile. In fact, the biggest beneficiary of this large bathroom is Nila. As a demon-free magic medicine, It was useless for her, but after taking a bath in the magic pattern bath, her body felt much better.
Rant sent Kai away, and while running the ventilation magic pattern board, he sighed, "Why did I dream about the cat cafe?"
