Volume 3 The Vortex of Strife Chapter 147 Important Guests
Vittorio walked over to Fett with a list in hand, just as Feder and the rest of the four had just returned to the Sweet Cookie Chamber of Commerce from the Prophecy Stone attraction area.
"Head Feide, this is a very important matter, there are guests on the list who have been confirmed to attend this wedding banquet, please take a look at it first. ”
Lukka and Winotki were still thinking about the soothsayer's words, while Miranda and Escorri went back to their rooms to avoid eavesdropping on the mercenary group's internal affairs. After taking a look at the list, Fide decided to immediately call all the captains to the meeting.
Fidel handed the list to Patrick, "Each of you can take a look at this list obtained by Vittorio, there are some names to look out for. ”
Patrick looked at the names of the officials of the Marveil Republic, and he called out softly, "Archon Barnes, Second Senator Barry." ”
"The newly created position in the Republic of Marveil, this second senator is said to be the position that the first senator applied to the senate, and his power is second only to the two consuls, and it is estimated that the first senator Tyre is an act to increase his influence. Vittorio then explained.
Fed and both of them have met, but the other party is the highest leader of the Republic, maybe Barnes and Barry have forgotten that they were once the small squad leaders of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment, but Fentry can't be completely taken lightly. There are no people from the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment on the list, and except for Noor and Patrick, the others do not know that the predecessor of the Potato Mercenary Regiment is a squad of the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment.
Patrick handed the letter to Noor, who said, "Margaret's maiden family, the kingdom of Cosai in the north, has sent the Marquis of Ampvo, along with some other officials. ”
"We've seen the Marquis of Ampvo today, and that must be a remarkable figure!" said Winotchy.
Lukka took the list, "The Papal States have also arrived, bishops appointed by Archbishop Arthur himself, and... And Captain Riley. "Riley is also an old acquaintance of Field, and this person is better off with Fielder than Kiro or Satnam.
Vittorio said: "I heard that the Papal States have appointed a new pope, who is very old and has broken with the previous convention. ”
Patrick said: "Now the Papal States have long since become 'archbishopric states', and whoever becomes pope is only a puppet of Archbishop Arthur Auerbach." ”
Vittorio nodded, "Although some news of that civil strife incident was blocked, not everyone is unaware of the inside story, at least the nobles of the Rebel Army and the Duchy of Magini are aware of the internal struggle in the Papal States. ”
When Fide heard this, he remembered Rassad's last loyal self-destruction. The Papal States are only a small place, but the internal struggle there is also very fierce, and the contradictions between the pope and the archbishop are like the contradictions and wrestlings of other great powers, and I am afraid that temporary peace and tranquility will not stop the cruel struggles that may arise.
Lukka continued to read the names on the list, and when he read the guests of the Kingdom of Salins, the list of names made everyone confused.
"The wedding banquet was attended by Queen Rose Mund, the wedding was attended by Queen Rose Mander, the first princess of the Kingdom of Salins, Winlith Feremitz, who represented the second prince, Amsol, at the wedding. Lukka read the names of a large number of people, all of whom had come from the Kingdom of Salin, and who had attended the wedding banquet more than any other country, and who looked more like Margaret's maiden family.
"Isn't there another third prince?" asked Nur casually.
"Yes, but the Third Prince does not represent the Kingdom of Sahlins," Luca said, and Fid also put his mind on something, "The Third Prince Walter will be here in person, he is coming on behalf of the Duchy of Deraman. ”
Vittorio nodded again, "It is said that this is Walter's last study assignment as an adult, in order to learn how to communicate with all parties at diplomatic wedding banquets. He will be eighteen years old next year, and it will also be the end of his hostage life, and he will soon be sent back to the Kingdom of Salins, but he is not an ordinary hostage, just a pawn in the exchange of courtesies in the Kingdom of Salins, and a pawn in the exchange of pawns with the missing Duchess and Lady. ”
Fed's mind was only thinking of Korth. Is the other party with Walter now? As with the prince's letter in the Papal States, Walter will take Koth in his own way.
"But Miss Christine of the Duchy of Dlamain has been found!" said Winotki suddenly.
Everyone else had a slightly surprised expression, and so did Fidel, but no one knew that when Fidel showed a slightly surprised expression, it was when he was very surprised.
"What Miranda told me today is that Miss Christine, the sole heir of the Duchy of Deraman, has been sent back to Mallote by Bradley, the eldest prince of the Kingdom of Salins, but the news has not yet spread across the continent, after all, the political marriage between the Duchy of Noor and the Winter Kingdom is the matter that the mainlanders care about. ”
Fed, who was stunned, couldn't help but think of various situations, was it Walter who took Kesi away and sent her back to Mallot? She returned to the birdcage, was this what she wanted? Recalling the beginning of the wayward beginnings of the two, Feder suddenly felt that things were wrong, but after a year and a half, he and she went through a lot of things, but the other party went back to the original place in a circle, and he went further on the road of mercenaries.
It seems that only Patrick noticed Fiddle's absent-mindedness, and Luca praised: "We are still very impressed by the fact that Prince Walter once supported us. ”
"Marcus must have come back to tell you," Noor smiled at Lukka, "you were still training cavalry with Avi in the Papal States at that time. ”
Patrick replied, "I was on another mission, but since the prince has come to our aid, we should remember the favor." The others nodded in agreement.
Noor mentions the two captains of the Potato Mercenary Regiment in a row, but no one cares, and Fielder even begins to think back to the days when he fought alongside Marcus, and if the other party is willing to untie the knot of losing his brother, he is more than happy to re-admit the experienced mercenary captain.
In addition to these countries on that list, the Duchy of Mageni also sent an envoy to the wedding banquet, and this envoy should not have known that Fide was also on the invitation list. Both Oguna Empires also sent some people to the wedding, and the West Oguna Empire sent more people than the Eastern Oguna Empire, but Fei De had never heard of their names, and even if these people ran into him, he should not cause any trouble. At the end of the list were delegations from Sunrise Plateau, whose identities and titles were a bit peculiar that Fide had never heard of.
Of the names of the guests from all over the world, the one who needs to be noticed is probably Walter, and that's all Fright wants to be at the banquet. However, Fei De thought about it, maybe those nobles would not notice him as a mercenary at all, the butler Van Dek had already said before, he belonged to the second batch of guests, and the people on this list were the most powerful people in the continent, and they must be the first batch of guests.
There were no mercenaries on the list, and Vittorio, who was given the list, said he didn't know which mercenaries would be invited to the wedding reception in Ibon City.
"Although there are no people from the nine mercenary groups on this list, after my observation in the past two days, there are a lot of mercenary groups inside and outside Evon City, most of them are mercenary groups from the Principality of Nuo, who have come to the capital to send gifts and congratulations, and there are also some mercenary groups from other countries. ”
The other captains also noticed that there were many mercenaries rushing to Evon City along the way, and although they seemed to be few in number among the countless tourists, it was a spectacular event for hundreds of mercenary groups to converge in the same place, even if it was only the captain and the captain. Vittorio suspected that these mercenaries were invited by Lord Luthers, and this would explain why the Potato Mercenaries were invited here - Lord Luther wanted to use his wedding day to get acquainted with mercenaries at home and abroad, and to befriend most of the mercenary leaders, so that when he ascended to the throne of Duke, his appeal would be very strong.
"The deputy warden has a good analysis, there should be a lot of mercenary groups like us who have not been interviewed," Lukka said as he looked at the list, "maybe there are many butlers like Van Deke, and they are all sent by Luthers to appease us, in order to establish a good relationship with us." ”
Nur asked: "That's meaningless, mercenary groups all collect money to do things, and even if the Duchy of Noao is rich, it is impossible to hire all the mercenary groups!"
"It's much harder to buy with favor than money, but it also makes the relationship stronger. Vittorio seemed to understand this, and as soon as he said it, the other captains fell into deep thought.
Fed: "Anyway, let's just be careful, the only people who entered the banquet this time were me and the other captain, and any of you volunteered to follow me?"
Winoki and Lukka were both vying to go, and although Nur wanted to go, he was too embarrassed to fight them when he saw that the two captains younger than him were fighting so fiercely.
Patrick suggested, "Why don't we do that, let's draw lots." ”
Winotki quickly cut out five small wooden sticks, one of which had a red paint on the bottom, and all of them were held in Fed's hand, and then the five of them drew lots, and whoever drew the red sticks would accompany Captain Fed's to the wedding feast.
"It's not me, and that's a good thing. Patrick started by drawing a regular stick.
Luca: "Well, it seems that I won't have a chance to see Miss Margaret in person!" he let out a long sigh as he looked at his ordinary stick.
And Winotki said, "As you can see, tomorrow Lord Luthers and Princess Winter will parade around the city of Evon... It's my turn, I'm pumping... Oh! It's not me!"
"You two may go into the city as companions to watch the ceremony. Noor laughed, but he didn't catch the red stick.
The four captains all looked at the cold Vittorio, the short man who didn't plan to draw lots turned out to be the lucky one. Winotki still didn't believe it, and she pulled the last one out of Fidel's hand, and it was the red stick she had prepared.
