"Things like meeting new people should wait until you have a full stomach."
For the sake of elegance, the plates in the public house were quite small.
Under Galen's windswept eating speed, the food on the plate was quickly wiped out.
Seeing that Galen was about to get up to get the food again, Diana said sharply:
"Stop before it's too late, Uncle! The organizer of this banquet is Ivo's uncle, and we are unofficially invited guests. Keep a low profile if you can, don't cause trouble for Ivo!"
At this time, Nicolia had also fetched her food, carrying a delicate, but worryingly large capacity small dinner plate, and walked over.
As a fellow spellcaster, Diana felt a spiritual power as vast as a lake from Nicolia.
This caused Diana to subconsciously silence her voice and lower her gaze as a sign of respect for the powerful.
"Everyone is a guest, why be so formal?"
Galen said to Diana.
Turning his head, he took a piece of pastry from Nicolia's plate and unceremoniously stuffed it into his mouth.
Diana's eyes abruptly rounded and she was stunned at that moment.
Although your Uncle Galen had good hands and barely possessed strength comparable to that of a mid-level adventurer.
But he is a solid upper level adventurer!
Taking food from someone's plate, how dare you?
Diana's gaze quietly glanced at Nicolia.
Seeing this lady with strong spiritual power, she just gave Galen a somewhat surprised look.
And then without saying a word, she just sat down silently, Diana's heart suddenly thumped again.
It's over, it's over! It would have been fine if she had scolded Uncle on the spot.
Judging from this situation, this superior adventurer was prepared to wait until after the banquet to find trouble with Uncle Galen!
After all, the more powerful an adventurer was, the more prideful he was.
Throwing Galen a look of self-seeking, Diana was about to leave so that she wouldn't get caught in the crossfire.
As soon as she turned around, she saw two more people coming this way.
"Mr. Lazar!"
The ones who came were the Master of the Public House and Ivo Junior, and Diana hurriedly greeted the former.
The master of the public house nodded slightly, and when he turned to look at Galen, the smile on his face was obviously a bit more intense.
He asked, "Are you satisfied with today's dishes?"
Galen ate happily and did not mince his words of praise.
Diana was flooded with doubts in her heart, this public house owner should have only met Galen once.
How could he show such enthusiasm?
She didn't know that if it wasn't for Galen's visit last night, he had scared away the assassins who had sneaked in.
The entire Lazar public house, in addition to individual strong guards, everyone has the possibility of being assassinated.
Advancement?
Intermediate level adventurer?
Defeating the White Falcon?
Diana's mind buzzed, and her face became odd and wonderful.
"This is Miss Michelle, right? As expected, she is as beautiful as the rumors."
The master of the public house looked at Nicolia again.
The latter raised her writing pad, on which the words of greeting had been written long ago, but it made the master of the public house look at her with a blank stare.
Letting Ivo stay behind to entertain the two Gallants, the public hall master excused himself and left, moving on to receive the other guests.
"It's a pity that I wasn't able to be there to watch on the day of Elder Aldun's match. But I heard that that White Falcon, who is known as a genius level magic swordsman, didn't break through your defense the entire time senior ..." Ivo said, his eyes filled with admiration.
Seeing that little brother Ivo was so interested, Galen told him about the ring match in detail.
Ivo was listening with great interest.
In Diana's ears, it was somewhat magical.
Two days ago, he was with himself and other people to take over the task of the uncle.
In less than a day after returning to the city, he was promoted to an intermediate level adventurer.
He also mounted the ring of the screening competition and defeated the famous genius adventurer of Byron Town on the spot?
The screening tournament initiated by the three major adventuring groups had a wide impact.
However, Diana felt that these were still too far away from herself, and didn't pay too much attention to them.
So much so that at this moment, the shock and impact was even stronger.
Between a few people chatting, the master of the public hall had already met with each of the guests.
He came to the center of the hall and clapped his hands to attract the attention of all the guests.
"Thank you all for coming to tonight's banquet ..."
Galen listened for a couple of sentences, seeing that it was all just a bit of window-dressing and a condemnation of the monopolistic behavior of the three major adventuring groups.
It wasn't until the owner of the public house proposed a live teaming session that Galen finally put down the knife and fork in his hands and looked up over there.
"Although the three major adventuring groups, their monopolistic behavior towards the underground palace is abominable. But the Lazar family, why would they go through so much trouble for us solo adventurers?" Galen raised his doubts.
Ivo explained, "Our family joined forces with the other two big family forces in Byron Town and used a large amount of silver coins as a bargaining chip in exchange for the chance to compete for the dominant right to open the Lapps Dungeon. In the final round of the screening tournament, the team that obtains the final victory will be able to obtain the dominant right to open the land for the power it represents behind it."
"That means us solo adventurers are actually working for the Lazar family without realizing it?" Galen sort of understood.
Ivo smiled shyly and said, "The Lazar family will provide the adventurers who are here today, with support in terms of equipment and props, as well as giving the champion squad, an additional reward of 10,000 silver coins per person."
The owner of the public hall in the center of the hall was informing the adventurers of this information.
In response, the adventurers were all happy to respond.
After all, this kind of thing, the right to dominate the open field, did not have any practical effect on solo adventurers.
Instead, the support of equipment and props could make up for the gap between them and the three major adventuring groups.
The extra bounty after winning the championship was even more reason for these adventurers to have no reason to refuse.
Having set the tone of full cooperation, the next step was the on-site team formation session.
"Mr. Philips, please come to the front." The owner of the public house said as he held out a list of names.
A young man wearing gold wire glasses and looking rather gentle walked to the center of the hall.
The public hall master introduced, "Mr. Philips, a superior ranger, has mastered two advanced skills. Due to his outstanding observation skills, he was given the title of 'Eye of Insight'. Those who wish to team up with Mr. Philips, please come forward."
In the composition of the team that Gaethon wanted, either a ranger or an assassin would be a good candidate.
In order to win over this Eye of Insight, Gaelen only had to temporarily put down the food on his plate and wiped his mouth as he walked up to the stage.
"Hm? Two more?"
Together with him, there were two other adventurers who walked to the front of the stage.
This public house owner had also done ample homework.
He had a rough understanding of each guest's basic information.
He finished introducing Galen's three people's professions, levels, and directions of specialization in turn.
Turning his head, he looked at Philips.
"Mr. Philips, these three all have the will to team up with you, you can now pick one of them and complete the initial pairing."
