From the dragon race to penetrate the world

Chapter 147 The Dinner Party of the Laurent Family

Almost all the people who were going to the banquet today were present, when all of a sudden the lights in the venue went out.

Darkness once again enveloped the castle, but only for a moment.

Because a pair of firefly-like pupils ignited in the darkness, and the light from the golden pupils refracted on the wine glass, so that people could see the faces of the people around them clearly.

Lu Chen glanced at the people around him, but he didn't think of admiration. Instead, he glanced at Milana who had already had golden pupils on fire, meaning...that's it?
It’s really not that Lu Chen looked down on these people. According to his observation, according to the rating standards of Kassel College, among the hundreds of people in the venue, only seven or eight can reach the A-level level, and the rest are basically B-level mixed races. , and even C-rank hybrids, the light of golden pupils is very weak.

"President, you seem to have misunderstood the world of mixed races."

Milana understood what Lu Chen meant, and explained in a low voice next to him: "B-level hybrids are already considered good elites, and A-levels are at the top of the mixed-race society, and they are rare. Our freshman Among the students, there are only fourteen A-level students."

Lu Chen nodded, "I understand, not all mixed-race families want to send their children to Kassel College to study dragon slaying."

"Yes, most of the families present rely on the accumulation of their ancestors. In the new era, relying on the mental and physical advantages of the mixed race, they have obtained the expansion of funds in the wind and become the 'power holders' of the new world."

Lu Chen suddenly realized that this is a very normal thing, just like the ancient generals fought on the battlefield in exchange for a lifetime of meritorious service, but the purpose of many generals working so hard is not to let future generations go so hard again.

The generals who were born with mud legs fought all their lives, and his descendants inherited the title of general, but "walked on the streets" of the capital. Whether they are dudes or promising, many of the younger generations often choose to use their status Do business secretly to make money and live a comfortable life as a rich man.

No father wants his son to die in battle.

Thinking about it this way, some of the mixed-race families who sent their children to Kassel College for further study were not very wealthy.

Of course, parents can't completely command young people to "fill in their volunteers". Just like Brother Caesar, the Gattuso family is already a top power family in the world, but he still chooses to come to Kassel College.

In the words of Brother Kaiser, he just likes challenges and proves himself.

From Lu Chen's point of view, Brother Caesar was just having trouble with the family. Originally, Lu Chen thought that Brother Caesar was indeed a sophomore.

But when he heard that Gattuso's family was the number one pioneer in the "shooting" against himself and the principal this time, he understood Brother Kaiser a little bit. .

He also asked Brother Caesar about the Gattuso family, and Brother Caesar only replied, "It has nothing to do with me, brother Lu can do whatever he wants."

Even Lu Chen was surprised by Brother Caesar's indifference and loyalty. After all, he heard that Caesar's father seemed to be still alive, even though the current acting school manager was Caesar's uncle.

"So, the person who controls the power is not necessarily the person in power."

Lu Chen commented lightly that he somewhat understood what the mixed-race society is like today.

"Most of them are like this. Although the bloodlines of some families are still pure and the purity of dragon blood has not decreased, they have never stepped on the battlefield, so they don't understand what real power is."

As he said that, Miranda changed his voice again, "However, the families at the top of the mixed race have always had both power and power. They control the wealth of the world and have a sharp sword to judge crimes."

At this time, the lights were turned on again, and it was just a traditional ceremony in the ancient mixed-race society to prove that this was a mixed-race dinner.

Lu Chen had a mocking smile on his face, "A sharp sword for condemnation? Whose crime is it? Do they regard themselves as gods?"

Miranda felt that it was not good to slander the school managers behind their backs, but she also agreed with Lu Chen's point of view, "Some school managers really regard themselves as gods."

"What about your family? It sounds like a hotel business, and it doesn't look like a family that likes to fight and kill. Why did you come to Kassel College?"

Lu Chen looked at Milana again. Now he knows Kassel College better. It is indeed a college for Tu Long. No matter whether you enter the executive department after graduation, being "assigned a job" is definitely related to the Dragon Clan. For example, there are regular troops and logistical troops on the battlefield.

"me?"

Milana smiled, "I just read too many stories when I was a child, and I wanted to be a dragon-slaying hero. Compared with going to the Royal Academy to study art and painting, it is more exciting to step into the battlefield with a knife."

Lu Chen raised the wine glass, Mi Lan raised it, lowered it slightly, and clinked glasses with him. The two drank the wine in the glass gracefully without any scruples about the nobleman.

If the teacher in the etiquette class saw this scene, they would probably give both of them a failing grade at the end of the semester. They would have thrown away everything they had learned.

"The principal didn't lie to me. Those who can enter the Lion Heart Club are indeed good men."

Lu Chen smiled, but felt that the wording was slightly inappropriate, so he changed his words: "Milanla's words should be regarded as a heroine."

Milana didn't care about Lu Chen's words, "Then the president is the leader of the heroes."

In the center of the venue, Sebastian Laurent finished his speech after greeting everyone.

Lu Chen didn't listen carefully. In layman's terms, it probably means "everyone eat and drink well."

But after the official speech ended, Sebastian did not withdraw from the central area, as if he still had something to say.

With an elegant smile, he said Langlang, "However, we have welcomed a special guest tonight. I believe all the guests present have noticed it, but please let me introduce you again grandly..."

The old butler's golden pupils are exceptionally bright. He has a broad and polite smile, but the people who look at him feel inexplicably stressed. As his eyes move, the guests consciously disperse, like It was a passage that was stabbed out, and at the end of the passage stood a boy and a girl.

All eyes were focused on the past, with the host of the dinner taking the lead, they could have a reason to observe this boy.

"...a freshman from Kassel College, the current president of the Lionheart Club, a unique S-rank among the students, a new legend who just killed the next generation...Mr. Lu Chen."

The voice of the old butler was ups and downs, and every time he said a title, his tone became more serious, as if there was an invisible scale in the venue, and the chips were added up again and again, until the boy's name was finally completed. The introduction and praise of the boy was completed , also seems to have finally completed the weighing of its value.

It has been a while since the young girls entered the venue, and many people recognized Milana's identity, knowing that she is also an excellent daughter of a big family, but at this moment, no one is paying attention to her anymore.

The eyes of those people are fiery, some are in awe, some are greedy.

Many families that have funded Kassel Academy are eager to get a share of the dragon body of the next generation, but everyone knows that compared to the dead second generation, the boy who can kill him is the bigger one. treasure.

There was thunderous applause, but the boy remained expressionless.

"Mr. Lu Chen, thank you for attending today's dinner and accepting the friendship of the Laurent family."

The old butler passed through the crowd, with a gentle and elegant smile, he extended his hand to Lu Chen.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a very friendly smile, but in Lu Chen's view, the old man has always had this smile on everyone since he appeared on the stage, as if it has been carved into his bones. It is just a mask, and the mask smiles. No matter how friendly you are, it is still a dead thing. You don't know what is hidden under the mask.

Milana glanced at Lu Chen, and suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't know why, but it seemed that the other party was not happy at the moment.

She was relieved when Lu Chen raised his hand to shake hands with the old housekeeper.

"Friendship of the Laurent family? It seems that you can represent the Laurent family."

It was the first time that Lu Chen spoke to the public in the venue, but the content of his words made many people turn pale. They whispered, feeling that the S-level of the academy seemed unfriendly.

The old butler was not angry, and still smiled politely, "Of course, today's dinner is hosted by the Laurent family, and I was sent as a representative."

Lu Chen let go of the old butler's hand, nodded, and stopped talking.

"Mr. Lu Chen, as the new legendary dragon slayer of the secret party, don't you have anything you want to tell everyone?"

However, the old butler continued to ask.

Lu Chen put the empty wine glass on the silver plate brought by the waiter, "First of all, I think you should call me Commissioner Lu. I am only here to represent the academy to carry out missions. Secondly, I am not a legendary dragon slayer, a legendary dragon slayer." It's often history."

"But the current leader of the secret party, Hilbert Jean Angers, the principal of your school, has not yet become history."

The old butler took a glass of red wine from the waiter's silver plate, and handed another glass to Lu Chen.

"The headmaster has lived a long time. Of course he can be regarded as history, living history, and I am only a young man."

Lu Chen took the wine glass, but didn't intend to clink glasses with the other party.

"Young people always live longer than old people, Commissioner Lu will eventually become a legend."

The old housekeeper complimented.

Lu Chen didn't answer immediately, a pair of red golden pupils ignited, and an invisible aura immediately filled the whole space. He scanned the venue, and all the people who looked at him unconsciously avoided those pupils.

In the end, he looked at the old housekeeper again, who still didn't look sideways, "I thought today was a swearing-in meeting for the Laurent family to save the Lord, but it seems that you are just exchanging feelings, and everyone is just talking about it." Business, trading power and power."

Yes, since the appearance of the old butler, he has treated many guests at the banquet with hospitality and kind words, but he has never mentioned the disappearance of Elizabeth, nor has he mobilized the families to provide information on her in their own areas of expertise.

It seems that this is just an ordinary communication dinner among the nobles. Everyone sings and dances, chats happily, and clinks glasses to seek more benefits for the family.

The Laurent family did not mention the disappearance of the Patriarch, and no one would take the initiative to bring up this bad luck.

When the old butler turned his attention to himself, Lu Chen realized that the Laurent family was in no hurry to find their Patriarch. The protagonist of this banquet was him, not the missing Elizabeth.

"Lisa's disappearance is of course a heavy blow to the family, but what's the use of us being anxious? The world has to keep going, and the academy has already sent out elites like Commissioner Lu, so why don't we worry about it?" ?”

When the old man mentioned Elizabeth's disappearance, he put on a sad expression, and at the end of the talk, a reassured look appeared on his face.

Lu Chen suddenly felt very funny, and he finally understood.

Yes, the principal is worried about Elizabeth's safety because Elizabeth is the only firm supporter of him among the school managers, and Elizabeth is also the child of his deceased.

But for a huge family like Laurent, Elizabeth's disappearance is not something that will worry everyone, or it may be said that many people may be quite happy at this time.

After all, for a young girl to be the head of the house, her position may not be as secure as he had imagined.

Their Laurent family is not extinct, and the owner can be replaced if the owner is gone. For them, wealth and power are eternal. The missing one is just a girl from the Laurent family. They really don’t have to worry about it. foundation.

"You say the world is always going to go on. It seems that you think you are the world."

Lu Chen smiled. The recent etiquette class was not in vain after all. He didn't show a mocking smile, but his words were undoubtedly stinging.

Milana wanted to remind Lu Chen, but then suppressed the idea, and it didn't matter.

Anyway, she always knew that the president is not a person who loves to kneel and lick power, and the mixed-race family present today, in her opinion, is the same. On the final battlefield, people like the president are always needed to take the lead in the charge , not those politicians who can only calculate.

"Don't dare to have such arrogant thoughts, Commissioner Lu may have misunderstood what I mean."

The old housekeeper said humbly.

Lu Chen waved his hand, he didn't want to waste any more time, "I said before, I'm not here for a banquet today, this is just a part of the mission investigation process, I just want to ask you, the two people under the Laurent family are now where?"

He didn't come here to listen to songs and dance, and to accept compliments from everyone. People from the Laurent family are here, so it's better for him to ask them face to face.

The commissioner of the executive department couldn't find it, but he didn't believe that the Laurent family had no news about his people.

"Commissioner Lu is asking about the whereabouts of the two children?"

The old butler asked knowingly, but when he saw those red golden eyes, he immediately continued: "Strictly speaking, they do not belong to the Laurent family, they are just working for us, and we are not ancient slave owners. Personal freedom, at this time they disappear, and of course the Laurent family can't find their whereabouts."

Lu Chen stared into the eyes of the old butler until sweat fell from his forehead. The old butler put his hands on his chest and bowed slightly: "Seeing that Commissioner Lu takes the task so seriously, the Laurent family will be relieved."
