Chapter 46 Weird Noble Dinner
"You're not going to start a massacre again, are you? This is the core city! There are many strong men above level seven, so it's better not to act rashly."
Shu Qi said in surprise.
Lin Yan shook his head: "Do I look that stupid?"
"Forehead……"
Shu Qi shook her head: "Do you already have a plan?"
Lin Yan nodded: "Yes, I sorted out the changes in the list of the Lighthouse Noble Circle over the years based on the information you gave me."
"Did you find any clues in the list?"
Shu Qi raised an eyebrow.
These lists only contained the approximate positions of some of the more famous people in the aristocratic circle, and there were only a few whose positions and names matched...
Lin Yan shook his head: "Although I didn't find any information related to these three names, I found other very interesting information."
"what?!"
Shu Qi hit Lin Yan: "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me now!"
Lin Yan smiled slightly: "About twenty years ago, the circle of nobles stabilized, and since then, the birth of new nobles every year has been extremely rare.
Occasionally, some nobles are born, but they will inevitably disappear from the noble circle within a year."
"What does this prove? The old nobles have monopolized everything. It is normal for newcomers to be excluded and suppressed by the old nobles."
Shu Qi said with a frown.
Lin Yan grinned, his smile was cold: "No, it is inferred based on the financial reports and other information in the intelligence.
Most of the old nobles are extremely friendly to the new nobles, and are even willing to take the initiative to provide financial support and contact them. "
"..."
Shu Qi frowned, obviously tasting something unusual.
“Moreover, according to the records here…even the number of old nobles is constantly decreasing.
From this I came to the conclusion that someone was hunting the aristocracy.”
There was a dangerous gleam in Lin Yan's eyes.
"You mean, someone is harvesting the noble class on a regular basis, and even the nobles... are like pigs and sheep kept in a pen?!"
Shu Qi felt incredible.
In this cannibalistic world of the Human Survivor Alliance, the water is so deep that you can't see the end at a glance. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
Everyone's fate is determined at birth.
Even those glamorous and beautiful behemoths that seem to dominate the world are ultimately just meals for some unknown terrifying beings...
"good."
Lin Yan nodded: "And the disappearance of these nobles is also very coincidental, all related to a party."
"That's one month after the annual 'Thanksgiving Day.'"
Lin Yan opened the map and pointed to a location: "This year's Thanksgiving is tonight, and the Thanksgiving Noble Dinner will be at the Flowing Water Garden.
This is where we are going.
Perhaps tonight, we can uncover the deepest secrets of the human survivor alliance and glimpse its true face.
I believe that the three people who killed my sister must have something to do with this.”
Shu Qi nodded in agreement.
Lin Yan's inference is very logical, and perhaps it can be used to glimpse some important information that has not been noticed before.
"I'll file a report with the higher-ups. I'll go with you tonight."
Shu Qi said.
"Ruyan has the talent of clones, so it would be more appropriate for me to take her with me. If anything unexpected happens, we will have a way out."
Lin Yan expressed his thoughts.
Shu Qi smiled slightly: "If you only take Ruyan with you, I'm afraid it will be easy to be exposed."
"Um!?"
Lin Yan frowned: "What does this mean?"
"The Human Survival Alliance advocates Darwinism, where the strong take all. How can a strong person only have one spouse?
Anyone in the aristocratic circle must have at least three spouses.
Male nobles usually have three wives and four concubines, and female nobles also have many male lovers.
You are now considered a nouveau riche, and having two female companions is barely acceptable."
Shu Qi shrugged: "If you only bring Ruyan, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the venue."
"Huh...there is actually such a saying." Lin Yan shook his head.
These unspoken rules are naturally not written in books.
"Okay, let's go to the banquet together."
Lin Yan nodded.
Living in a villa in a wealthy area, it is not difficult to get tickets to an aristocratic dinner.
"Thirty million Alliance Coins per ticket, you're really bold..."
Lin Yan sighed.
This is to eliminate the emerging upper class who have no strength and only have a few hundred million yuan. Such small characters are not worthy of entering the venue.
After all, you need to buy three tickets for yourself and at least two partners.
That means nearly 100 million yuan will be spent on buying tickets!
It is a fixed expense once a year and only the real aristocrats and wealthy people can afford it.
Pay for tickets in one go by swiping a card.
night.
Lin Yan, holding Liu Ruyan's left hand and Shu Qi's right hand, came to the door of the noble venue.
"Dear sir, you look unfamiliar~"
The old noble butler who was in charge of registration and reception looked at Lin Yan with a smile.
Lin Yan frowned.
The old butler's reception etiquette was meticulous, but he had a keen sense and always felt that there was something ill in the old man's eyes.
The venue was very busy and bustling with people.
The core city has a population of tens of millions, but only about 20,000 to 30,000 nobles. Excluding infants and those who could not come, there were more than 10,000 nobles present.
Each of them is a top figure in the human survival alliance.
Just moving your feet will make the surviving alliance tremble.
As soon as Lin Yan walked in, many old nobles came up to him and made friends with him, smiling. Their attitudes were very kind and gentle.
It was as if he had seen his own relatives, and his enthusiasm was a little abnormal.
"Um……"
Lin Yan frowned and kept communicating with the people who came to talk, trying to find some clues.
But nothing was achieved.
Soon, a beautiful waitress came over, saluted Lin Yan, and smiled: "Mr. Lin, right? My young master would like to invite you to have a drink."
"Oh?"
Lin Yan glanced at this 'young master'.
His temperament and the position he sat in were very unique, and one could tell at a glance that he was completely different from the others in both mentality and body shape.
It was a kind of indifference that was above everything. He seemed to feel that he had a sense of looking down on others throughout his life, which made his eyes calm and indifferent.
"It looks like the fish has taken the bait."
Lin Yan's intuition jumped.
"..."
Lin Yan sat in front of the man, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said nothing calmly.
"How dare you be so rude!?"
Beside the young master, several stewards shouted angrily.
Lin Yan glanced at them and said, "Your dog doesn't seem to have any manners."
The young master's face froze, he frowned, then shook his head and smiled nonchalantly: "I checked your information.
You have developed a special treasure that can kill people without the need for innate power.
You rely on this new type of treasure to travel through various alliance cities and accumulate a lot of wealth.
I entered the core city for the first time yesterday.
You rushed to the annual noble dinner today. I guess you have big ambitions, right?"
"You know my name, but I don't know yours. Is this the etiquette for nobles in the Core City?"
Lin Yan put down his wine glass and smiled coldly.
"presumptuous!"
Beside the young master, several powerful murderous intentions were revealed, which was extremely terrifying...
