Under the night sky, there were endless cars and horses coming and going around the Grand Duke's Mansion in Pompeii, and the magical eternal lights that were usually in energy-saving state outside the castle were even more bright and generous. Everyone living in Pompeii knew that this was a large banquet for Grand Duke Pompeii.

Standing in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion and looking up at the castle-like mansion in the city, Li Yan, who was knowledgeable before traveling through, had to sigh at the power of Grand Duke Pompeii. Along the way, the streets had various luxurious decorations and exquisitely constructed carriages stretched for miles, with serious expressions and vigilant elite guards. Although they were far inferior to the power of ancient Chinese emperors, they also had the atmosphere of a king of a country.

At this time, the main gate of the Duke's Mansion was completely opened. There were dozens of beautifully dressed and pretty maids on both sides lined up to welcome guests quietly on both sides of the gate. Several butler-like male servants also stood at the door to pay attention to the guests coming and going. However, except for the occasional few people dressed in exquisitely held red invitations, most of the visitors lined up dozens of meters long at the side doors on both sides. The many male servants at the doors on both sides were sweating profusely.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yan walked towards the middle gate. At this time, among the many gorgeously dressed guests, he was wearing black robes. He was particularly young and had already attracted the attention of many people. However, in such occasions, no one could stand here except those young and ignorant playboys. Even if he was contemptuous and wanted to laugh at him, no one would reveal it.

But there is a saying that goes: Everyone in this world lacks, but there is no shortage of idiots.

"Hey, little mage, that's not a place where people like you can go. Go back and have a drink!" A frivolous voice came from the team. A young man was looking at him with a proud look on his face. Several fashionable young girls around him were sneering by his words.

Hearing this sentence, anger arose in his heart. Li Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at him deeply. The powerful mental power was hidden in his sight and suddenly enveloped him.

It seemed as if he was stared at by an angry wolf, fear arose, and the young man's ridicule came to an abrupt end. The girls around him also felt something was wrong and stopped laughing.

"Um!" Just as the young man reacted and blushed and wanted to fight back, the middle-aged man in front of him finally couldn't help it and covered his son's mouth! He looked at Li Yan apologetically. After most of his life, he deeply understood that even if he was a fool in the capital of Pompeii, he should not bully him at will, not to mention that the mage opposite was obviously not a fool.

"You have a good father." He was just a playboy. He calmed down and looked at the young man. Li Yan said, although his voice was low, everyone around him could hear it clearly. He ignored him and turned around and walked up the steps.

Seeing what happened in the square, the butler in front of the door did not dare to neglect, so he quickly came up and said to Li Yan with a warm smile: "Hello sir, please show the invitation."

Nodded, two red invitations instantly appeared in Li Yan's hand and handed them on it. "Special invitation". After taking the invitation, the butler was surprised to see two gold-toned characters specially enlarged and marked on the invitation. This was an invitation that the Duke invited particularly important guests. Even the Earl just now did not receive such treatment, and only ordinary invitations were presented.

'Fortunately there was no rudeness' at this moment, the housekeeper was very grateful, "Sir, this is a special invitation. You can choose a maid to accompany you here and visit all the places in the entire castle except the inner courtyard." The enthusiastic voice made everyone in line not far away hear it clearly. This was his show of kindness to Li Yan.

A low amazement came out instantly, and the young man just now was even more stunned. Before he knew it, a small area was empty, which was originally a little crowded, because he was afraid of causing harm to the fish in the pond.

Ignoring these things, Li Yan asked softly: "Why do they have to line up there?"

"The invitations for the Duke's banquet are only sent to more important people, and those who have not received the invitation can also deliver 1,000 gold coins to attend the banquet. None of these people have invitations." After hearing the inquiry, the housekeeper quickly replied in a low voice.

He looked up at Li Yan and whispered, "This is your first time here. In fact, like the kind of person who is ungrateful just now, as long as you are willing, we can drive him away immediately."

"No need, it's not easy for him." Looking at the father of the young man who was sweating profusely, Li Yan nodded to him and said that he would not pursue the matter. Then, under the guidance of the maid, he walked into the Duke's Mansion.

"Photo!" "Get back, you idiot!"

After the episode, with the enthusiastic introduction of the maid, Li Yan walked through the garden, the front hall and a long corridor to the banquet hall, and opened the door, and the noise came out instantly.

There is a lobby as big as a football field, where twelve long square tables are placed on both sides. The white silk table has rich food, colorful fruits, bright wine, and various dishes with all kinds of colors and fragrances make people look greatly increased at first glance.

Under the bright and gentle illumination of dozens of magic lamps on the top of the hall, the exquisitely dressed maids and servants shuttled back and forth, and the guests gathered together, or walked back and forth with smiles and raised their glasses.

"The banquet is about to begin, sir, please come in. If you need anything, you can ask someone to find me in the front hall." He blinked at Li Yan, and the beautiful maid said softly, exited with a smile and closed the door.

"Hey, Li Yan, here!" Just as he woke up from the maid's words and felt a little funny, a familiar voice came over.

'It's Corian!' Li Yan turned his head and looked. Sure enough, a figure standing by the table on the left was Corian, and there was a person holding a wine glass, which was Blanche.

With everyone's curious eyes, Li Yan quickly walked over, and said to Corian and Blanche with a smile: "Haha, long time no see, are you okay?" After several months, when he saw his friend again, a strong sense of warmth arose in Li Yan's heart.

"Haha, try this." Seeing Li Yan, Corian and Blanche were also particularly happy. They greeted him and handed him a glass of purple-red fruit wine, and said, "It's not bad. I borrowed your luck. Blanche and I have been promoted. Now I have officially promoted to school, and he has become a lieutenant, but it is still far from reaching me, haha."

"That's because you're older than me! It's just an old man, what's there to be proud of?" Blanche said calmly and retorted.

"Hey! I'm mature, what do children who haven't been weaned know?"

Looking at the two men who were verbally quarreled, Li Yan was amused and cried, and quickly changed the topic: "Congratulations on your promotion. To be honest, your dress is really good tonight."

"Is that?" Looking at the gentleman's uniform with black as the main tone on his body, Corian was content, "This was forced by the cold-faced general, but it took us a lot of effort to make you look handsome in the mage robe."

"Cold-faced General?" Li Yan asked in confusion.

"It's Major General Clyde, he's also promoted. We all call him that. Don't you think he's cold?"

"Is that true?" Just as Corian spread his hands to explain to Li Yan, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Of course." Before Blanche could stop him, Corian replied subconsciously, but then his body suddenly shook and turned his head stiffly. Clyde was staring at him with wide eyes, "It's over."

Ignoring Corian, Clyde walked up and smiled and said to Li Yan, "Long time no see, Li Yan, are you still having a happy stay in Pompeii?"

"Yes, General, Pompeii is a very prosperous city." Li Yan said with a bow and bowed.

"Don't be so polite." He raised the wine in his hand and had a drink with Li Yan. Clyde said, "I won't disturb you chatting for now, and wait for the meeting." He glared at Corian fiercely, "Go back and get rid of you!"

Corian was secretly heartbroken. Blanche shook his head and said to Li Yan: "I am looking for death. Don't worry about him, have you heard of Hamelton?"

"Hamerton? What's the matter?" Li Yan said he didn't know.

Blanche blinked: "It's the shop in Beren Tower, Hamelton. I heard that a savage man was drunk and was crazy about drinking. He rushed to the store and insisted on learning the swordsman to play the swordstorm. Following his two-handed swordsman trying to stop it, but he was unable to catch it and almost demolished the first two floors of the store.

A level 6 monk in the guard shop was also seriously injured, and then was assassinated that night by an assassin who came to seek revenge. Even the son of the head of the Berenta branch was beaten to death. Unfortunately, the high-end force of the guard Hamelton was just taken out by Baron Roller to investigate the mines. Now the store is over. Without Hamelton's stronghold, the Berenta branch suffered a considerable loss."

Hearing this, Li Yan didn't understand. Even though he had always been calm, he was still in a state of peace. "How lucky I am to be able to make such a group of friends."
