In the past, the banquet held by the wasteland tribe was definitely a very important thing. The banquet was only held when the huge prey beyond imagination was captured, the tribal war was won, and a very important shaman ceremony was performed. And the people at the banquet will only be from their own tribe, and will not invite outsiders.

However, as the culture and customs from various continents spread during the colonial period, even tribes like the Southern Tribal Alliance that still adhere to primitive traditions will inevitably be affected by this cultural custom. The banquet for social purposes is naturally the first An activity that the tribe accepts from other continents' civilization.

As the political center of the Southern Tribal Alliance, except for the hidden tribes on the other side of the Dajiao River, almost all tribes that follow traditional ways will set up a liaison office or office in the southern sacred mountain, and these liaison offices and offices are mainly The role is to organize various activities to connect feelings, listen to information, and conclude transactions, etc.

Therefore, various banquets are held almost every day in the several ring cities around the southern sacred mountain. The frequency of banquets is much higher than that of other civilizations outside the wasteland.

The invitation letter sent by the Yiwen Society is also a common banquet invitation letter, but this is not a banquet organized by the Yiwen Society itself, but a banquet held by a tribe named Chaka in the office of the Holy Mountain.

It’s not hard to tell from the name that the Chaka tribe should be a very traditional wasteland tribe, because the name Chaka is an ancient wasteland tribe language, which is only circulated in a small area, except for those tribes that inherit the ancients. Rarely use that ancient language as the name of his tribe.

The meaning of Chaka means knowledge, which means that this tribe is not an ordinary hunting tribe or warrior tribe, but a shaman tribe that mainly cultivates shamans.

Sylvia didn’t know anything about this tribe. At least she hadn’t heard of the name of this tribe when she was adventuring in the wasteland. This does not mean that this tribe is a new tribe deliberately using ancient names. The ancient tribes who migrated from the other side of the river to escape the customs of seclusion.

To this end, she asked an employee recruited by the office about some information about the Chaka tribe and found that this Chaka tribe is really not easy.

The first sight of the great shaman in the southern sacred mountain is from the Chaka tribe. Although after becoming a great shaman on the sacred mountain, you must abandon everything from the previous tribe. The holy mountain becomes the only home, but no matter how you abandon everything in the past, you still will Some emotions are preserved, and they are more or less favored when dealing with affairs.

For people with the status of a big shaman at first glance, a slight partiality is not a big deal, but for a small tribe like the Chaga tribe, the big shaman's slightly partial behavior at first glance implies The additional benefits are enough to make them one of the most influential tribes in the Southern Tribal Alliance.

However, the Chaga tribe also knows that their current status and influence are all derived from the great shaman at first sight. Once the great shaman at first sight passes away, the Chaga tribe will not fall into the valley, but They will definitely lose their strength, so they thought of a way, that is, while still having a certain degree of influence, they try to build relationships with other tribes as much as possible, and even learned the marriage of outside civilizations and the power of many tribes. The authors established some in-laws, which to a certain extent ensured that their influence can be maintained even after some accidents.

The Chaka tribe’s banquet is very famous in the southern sacred mountain. It is basically the most important banquet among the various banquets of the southern sacred mountain. Every banquet invites many spokespersons of the outside group in the southern sacred mountain and the dignitaries of various tribes. Commercial contracts related to tribal alliances are almost generally negotiated at Chaka tribe banquets, so the invitation letter to Chaka tribe banquet is not only a status symbol, but also contains huge benefits.

The banquet time on the invitation letter was in the evening. Sylvia took advantage of the gap in the middle and prepared a set of banquet costumes with wasteland characteristics for herself and Leo. In the evening, she took a carriage to the address marked on the invitation letter. .

It is located between the railway station and the warehouse area. A canal that drains from the Gem Lake converges into a small lake in this low-lying area. Some villa buildings different from the wasteland style have been built around the lake. All belong to the sacred mountain, and the purpose of construction is to hold banquets. The Chaka tribe has rented several villas connected together for a long time. This is also the place where they hold public banquets.

After Sylvia and Leo got off the carriage, the waiter outside the villa proficiently came forward to receive the two of them. After checking the invitation letter politely and rigorously, they greeted them decently. In the garden by the lake inside the villa.

If it weren't for these waiters who had faces with the characteristics of the wasteland tribe, perhaps Sylvia had already regarded this as a banquet for a nobleman in the French Empire, and everything here was too familiar to her.

The arrival of her and Leo did not attract the attention of other people attending the banquet in the garden. Everyone was busy and gathered in small groups, holding a glass of pre-dinner drink in their hands while drinking. , While talking.

On the other side, the attendants at the banquet are organizing the table. Plates of covered food are neatly placed on the table. Judging from the skillful movements of the attendants, it is obvious that such banquets are already familiar to them. Up.

"Unexpectedly, there are a lot of old friends!" Sylvia looked around, her eyes fell on a group of people talking in a small pavilion by the lake not far away, and said in a deep tone.

Leo followed Sylvia’s sight and saw that the people around them were obviously different from those around them. They were all dressed in academic uniforms that were only worn by scholars of the French Empire. Some ribbons that represent honor, such ribbons will only be awarded by the Empire of France if they have very outstanding academic contributions, and everyone who receives this ribbon has also obtained the noble status of the Empire of France.

"People from the French Empire?" Leo asked.

"No." Sylvia shook her head and said, "They are traitors to the empire just like me, but I betrayed later, they were earlier."

Perhaps the sight of Sylvia and Leo was felt. The oldest of the group seemed to have noticed something. He turned around and looked around. Then he saw Sylvia's face. There was a smile on his face, and he raised the wine glass in Sylvia.

Although Sylvia was reluctant, she smiled and gestured to the old man.

At this time, Leo also saw the old man's appearance clearly, and recognized this very famous scholar in the natural sciences of France, and said naturally: "Professor Faustin, I didn't expect him to be alive."

"Of course he is still alive," Sylvia said flatly: "If he died that year, I wouldn't have the opportunity to join the Yiwen Academy. He is my recommender."

The natural sciences of the French Empire appeared very early. It can be said to be the earliest natural sciences in the world. At that time, the people who founded this science were mainly to study the strange creatures in the Black Forest. It was a pure scientific research science. There have been many great figures in the discipline, and they have all left a large number of works in the natural sciences of France. Some of them are the founders and supporters of the medical school.

Later, during the colonial period, as the Shamanism of the mainland of Mozambique spread to the French Empire, the academic circles of the French Empire took a different path from that of the English Kingdom.

The Kingdom of England regarded shamanism as a kind of religion and mysticism, and only studied the mysterious rituals and extraordinary powers of Shamanism, while the Empire of France integrated shamanism into natural sciences and created some combinations. The occult and the supernatural of supernatural powers, the experiments of the French Empire to create artificial supernatural beings originated from this discipline.

Because this subject is a secret subject and involves a lot of blasphemous and anti-human experiments, most scholars engaged in this subject are unknown.

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, the old man named Faustin that Leo sees now is the representative of this supernatural science and the only supernatural member of the living empire academic ribbon. It is a contemporary official compilation of the French Empire. In the Who's Who, he ranks eleventh. Before and behind him, neither the emperor of the empire nor the dignitaries, but he is a commoner.

The reason why he was able to receive such an honor is because he created many methods that can extend human life. For example, the life-saving device of the old man Rembrandt is derived from his invention, and some mechanical transformation techniques are also derived from his invention. , And some rumors say that he created a way to bring the dead back to life.

Although Faustin is well-respected in the academic circles of the natural sciences in France, he is notorious in the Church of True God and the Church of Cthulhu in the world of Velen, because his publicized transformation techniques and related knowledge involve blasphemous content. , So he was a heresy recognized by the Orthodox Court a long time ago. If it were not for the protection of the French Empire, perhaps he would have been burned to death on the heresy's execution.

Later, Faustin suddenly disappeared on the way to his laboratory. Most rumors outside believed that this was the work of the Orthodox Court. The Orthodox Court kidnapped and killed the heresy of Faustin. The French Empire also questioned the Orthodox Church. Court, although the Orthodox Court stated that this matter had nothing to do with them, no one believed it.

After that, Faust never appeared in the world of Velen again, as if he was really dead. He did not expect that he would appear in the southern sacred mountain of the wasteland, and his appearance has not changed even after decades. The old scholars drawn on the collection of celebrities are no different.

At this time, Sylvia also gave a quick and simple introduction to her relationship with Faustin. Faustin was her mentor when she was studying at the Royal Academy of the French Empire, and she was also a recommender for her to join the Society.

At the beginning, Faustan used fake death to escape the assassination of the Cthulhu Church. Sylvia was one of the participants. Later Faustan was also the direct mentor of Sylvia at the Institute of Abnormalities, usually from Faustin to Sylvia. Ya handed over some tasks from the Society of Unknowns, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

However, with the complete break between Sylvia and the Yiwen Society, the two are no longer in contact. Today's invitation letter is obviously from Faustin. As for the purpose, Sylvia is not It was clear, but she knew that she had to wake up and deal with Faustin, otherwise she would easily be led by her own mentor into some traps and make some headaches.

"Do you need me to go with you?" Leo asked after listening to Sylvia's introduction.

"No." Sylvia shook her head and said, "I want to know what Yiwen Academy wants to do in the wasteland. If you are by the side, they won't disclose useful information."

After speaking, she picked up a glass of wine from the plate held by the waiter passing in front of her, and walked over to the members of the Anomaly Society gathered there.

After Sylvia left the meeting, Leo looked around again, without thinking of talking to other people, walked to a corner at random and found a chair to sit down, drinking while watching Sylvia. While waiting for the banquet to start.

Although the relationship between Sylvia and the Yiwen Society has broken, she seems to have a good relationship with her mentor Faustin. By the way, other members of the Yiwen Society have not been hostile. They seem to have entered a state of conversation with each other, and hope Elvia quickly became the center of conversation.

At this time, many people at the banquet, Faustan and others, paid attention to that side. UU reading www.uukanshu.com also noticed Sylvia as the center of conversation, so they asked other people about Sylvia in the lobby. Ya thing.

Although Sylvia has not gone deep into the wasteland for so many years, she has left many legends in the wasteland tribe in the past, and at the banquet, many chambers of commerce and group office directors from the United States and other places also Knowing the power of the Dodd Group, so soon information about Sylvia spread among the banquet participants.

For a while, Sylvia, a banquet participant who just came in and no one paid attention to, gradually became the banquet center. Many people who were not from the exchange group at the Yiwen Society looked over and seemed to be looking for opportunities to participate, and then Get in touch with Sylvia.

The people present are well aware that the conflict between the Silver Moon Tribe and the Tinder Tribe is inevitable, and how to obtain huge benefits in this conflict is a matter of concern to many people, and among these benefits, the arms trade is naturally the largest. And the Dodd Group has the best weapons. Who can get a share of the Dodd Group’s arms, then he doesn’t need to sell these weapons at all, and he can make money by lying down.

Although Sylvia is the center point of everyone’s attention, Leo, who deliberately sat in the corner, was also secretly watched by some caring people, but the people who watched him were not directed at the goods of the Dodd Group. It's because of Leo himself.
