    In the meeting hall, in addition to Archduke Stella and others, there were also the distinguished guests invited that night. They stayed here, but they wanted to know whether the murderer of the Hollow Murder Case had been caught.  It was also the first time for Shirley to see so many powerful people. Among them, there were even several kings. Under the gaze of so many eyes, Shirley felt a little nervous, and even her palms began to sweat.  Ruan Chi was not nervous at all. When he saw Diana waving to him, he was not polite. He simply walked over and sat down directly next to her.  At this moment, there are more eyes, including some young nobles, and most of the eyes they cast are contained in jealousy.  The daughter of Archduke Stella, who wouldn¡¯t want to sit next to her?  But this black-haired kid who didn't know where he came from actually sat directly next to Miss Stella, which was too much.  "Guest, your seat is over there." A young aristocratic young man who was pursuing Diana obviously couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said loudly.  "Is there any difference between sitting here and sitting somewhere else?" Ruan Chi said with a confused expression, not knowing that he was sitting in the wrong position.  As soon as these words came out, the nobles present showed a look of ridicule and contempt.  Seeing this, Shirley secretly thought something bad, and quickly walked to Ruan Chi's side and whispered: "We don't want to sit here anymore. This place is not for us to sit." "What? Are you really sitting in the wrong seat?" Ruan Chi frowned.  Frowning, he didn't expect to be so particular about where he sat. If he had known this, he wouldn't have come.  The seats of nobles are indeed very particular. It is a symbol of class, just like this meeting hall.  The main seats in the first row are except for the host, Grand Duke Stella.  The people sitting there were all dignitaries above the level of kings.  It is worth mentioning.  The famous Saint Snowin of the Storm is also on this list.  As for Gabrielda, although he is the current commander-in-chief of the Horn of Sparta, it is not a time of war. He can only sit in the first row of the guest seats, and cannot sit in the main row with Snowin and other kings.  Position.  The position below is arranged according to the title, but it is Diana, because she is the daughter of Grand Duke Stella.  She can sit in the first row of guest seats.  Ruan Chi was sitting directly next to Diana just now, and naturally occupied one of the seats in the first row of the guest seats. It was the closest place to the main seat. In addition to being a symbol of status, he could also talk to Grand Duke Stella.  Good location.  So when Ruan Chi sat down, he attracted a lot of jealous looks.  ¡°Kid, you can¡¯t sit in that seat if you want, why don¡¯t you get up quickly?¡± Sulu was also a little unhappy when he saw Ruan Chi sitting in the first row of guest seats, and I just sat in the second row.  You, a nobody, dare to sit in front of me?  "Uncle, why do I just like sitting here?" Ruan Chi wanted to stand up and leave.  But when Sulu said this, he couldn't help but sneered and simply sat still.  The aristocratic young man who just laughed at Ruan Chi for not knowing the rules frowned and said coldly: "Where is this stupid boy who doesn't know the rules? Who invited you in?" "It's me!" Suddenly, a crisp  When the voice sounded, Diana stood up from Ruan Chi's side, put her hands on her hips and said, "I called the teacher here, what's wrong?" "Yes I'm sorry, Miss Stella!" Diana actually used Ruan Chi's words just now.  His tone made the noble young man speechless.  ¡°Tell it to my teacher.¡± Diana pointed at Ruan Chi.  The noble young man's face suddenly turned red, and he hesitated: "Yes I'm sorry, distinguished gentleman, I I didn't know you were Miss Stella's teacher." "Forget it, adults don't remember the faults of villains.  "I don't know how to behave like a villain like you." Ruan Chi crossed his legs and looked at the noble young man with a funny look on his face.  Being said like this, the aristocratic young man was naturally ashamed and angry, but considering that Diana was supporting Ruan Chi, he did not dare to say anything more.  Seeing the aristocratic young man sitting back dejectedly, Diana sat down with satisfaction. But at this moment, a majestic voice sounded, "Diana, why did you call this person here?"  The Grand Duke of Stella, although he was injured at the banquet the day before yesterday, after simple treatment and two nights of rest, his spirit has obviously recovered well. The eyes he looked at his daughter at this time were as sharp as two sharp swords.  Diana was not afraid of anything. Apart from ghosts, she was also afraid of her father in front of her. When she heard Archduke Stella talking to her, Diana stood up again and whispered: "Back to my father, Teacher Ruan Chi is because he helped us capture that man."  Assassin, that's why I asked him to come here." "That boy helps to catch the assassin?" A sudden voice sounded, but it was a person sittingThe blond and blue-eyed young man in the seat looked at Ruan Chi with disdain in his eyes, obviously not believing that Ruan Chi had the strength to capture the assassin.  Ruan Chi recognized this blond young man, not the Goldman who was kicked by Jialan. This man was the crown prince of the Oaken Kingdom, the third largest country in the Free Federation, and the only young man sitting on the throne.  people.  "Hey, aren't you that funny guy? Why are you here?" Ruan Chi recognized Goldman and said unceremoniously: "Does your butt still hurt?" Goldman blushed, recalling the two previous times.  He looked embarrassed after being kicked away, and said angrily: "Boy, don't think that you are Miss Stella's teacher. I won't kick you out. Do you know who are sitting here?" After speaking, Gao De  Man also held his chest high and shook off his airy demeanor.  "Actually, I don't really want to stay here. Since no one welcomes me, I'd better leave." Ruan Chi shrugged and stood up, pretending to leave.  "Teacher, if you go, I will go too." Diana stood up and actually followed Ruan Chi.  Unexpectedly, the middle school girl was quite loyal. Ruan Chi looked at her angry expression on her face and couldn't help but feel a good feeling in his heart. Although this guy is stupid and usually a little out of touch, he actually dared to face his father in front of him at the critical moment.  It is really rare to speak for oneself in front of others.  However, before Ruan Chi could walk out of the door, a person suddenly stopped them.  "Wait!" The person who spoke turned out to be Gabrielda, and Ruan Chi looked back at him.  Wait for him to speak.  Gabrielda smiled slightly.  He turned to Archduke Stella and said: "Old General. This person was personally invited by me. He was also the only person who fought against Hannibal Durrant last night, so we need his assistance very much."  As soon as he said this, the nobles sitting there all looked surprised.  Although Gabrielda is only sitting in the guest seat, he is the proud disciple of Archduke Stella and the current commander-in-chief of the Horn of Sparta.  To a certain extent, Gabrielda¡¯s words carry more weight than the average person.  Sure enough, after listening to what Gabrielda said.  Grand Duke Stella pondered for a moment, then asked Snowven, Saint of the Storm, who was sitting next to him: "Your Excellency, is this what happened last night?" "Yes, I led the expedition team to the Night Demon Wetland last night.  By that time, Hannibal and his dream circus members had long since escaped, and the only person who fought against him at that time was this little brother." Snowin touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile.  Even the famous Saint of Storms said this, and all the nobles looked at each other even more confused, and the eyes they looked at Ruan Chi became a little different.  "Your name is Ruan Chi, right? I didn't expect my little brother to be so capable of cutting off one of Hannibal's arms by himself." Archduke Stella nodded.  He looked at Ruan Chi and said.  There was a hint of approval in his words.  In fact, what happened last night.  Archduke Stella had already heard about it. Although Hannibal was allowed to escape in the end, one of the opponent's arms remained, indicating that last night's crusade was not a complete failure, at least the opponent was seriously injured.  At first, Archduke Stella himself thought that Snowin and Gabrielda had joined forces, but he did not expect that the person who really took action would be this ugly black-haired boy in front of him.  Although Archduke Stella did not have a very good impression of Ruan Chi during the federal election, this does not hinder his current evaluation of Ruan Chi.  Grand Duke Stella was also poor when he was young. Although he is now a powerful figure in the Federation, he does not treat others superficially like ordinary people.  What happened today gave Grand Duke Stella the idea that the black-haired boy in front of him was no ordinary person.  Hearing her father praise Ruan Chi, the happiest person was Diana. She took Ruan Chi's hand and walked back, smiling: "Of course, my teacher is very powerful." "Little brother, I'm sorry that I didn't show up just now.  Explain the situation clearly and please sit down." Gabrielda smiled at this time.  To be honest, Ruan Chi didn¡¯t like the way these people did things. He had the opportunity to explain the situation in advance, but he had to wait until the last minute to make it clear that he wanted to laugh at him.  "Ruan Chi, go back and sit down." Xue Li was a little nervous when she saw Ruan Chi standing there motionless. She didn't expect things to be so tense.  "Yes, teacher, let's go back and sit down, and ignore those boring guys." Diana made a face at Goldman, who looked embarrassed, and then pulled Ruan Chi and said.  "Okay, I'll give you face." Ruan Chi glanced at the two women, then walked back and sat down.  Sydney finally saw thisHe breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sit in the passenger seats in the third or fourth row at the back.  She is just an investigator, where is her place?  The small turmoil has finally come to an end, and the meeting hall is now filled with people who participated in the meeting. As the owner of this place, Grand Duke Stella spoke first.  "Everyone, after these two nights of hard work, although the trap we set up cannot be said to be successful, we have finally figured out the mastermind behind the Hollow murder case that occurred in the past two months. I sent someone to investigate this person named Hannibal Dalan.  Everyone must be curious about his identity and why he killed so many nobles. Just as everyone was waiting for the result, a middle-aged man sat next to Grand Duke Stella.  The man came out and took over the conversation: "Everyone, I am the steward of Archduke Stella. My name is Concho. I have collected a piece of information about the life of Hannibal Durrant." A group of maids came up,  Send this butler's information and everyone involved in the meeting will have a copy, including Ruan Chi.  The information was very thick, with hundreds of pages. Ruan Chi flipped through it twice and stopped reading.  "Hannibal Durrant, you should know from his name that he is also a noble. However, the surname Durrant is not well-known among the aristocracy of the Federation. You may not have any impression of it. How about we change the name?  Well, I believe you will be more impressed." The steward paused and then said: "Dalant Chamber of Commerce, I wonder if you are familiar with this name. Yes, it was the first federal chamber of commerce and the founder of Dalant Chamber of Commerce.  This person is called Hannibal Durrant." As soon as these words came out, the nobles present burst into murmurs. It was obvious that they were extremely familiar with the Durant Chamber of Commerce mentioned by the steward. No, it could even be described as thunderous.  The Durant Chamber of Commerce is a large cross-border chamber of commerce involved in many trade and business projects. The businesses it is involved in are almost all over the human race. Even in the remote north and south, the orcs and dwarves have trading chambers set up by it.  This was about twenty years ago. At that time, there was such a legendary businessman in the Victor Kingdom. He was Hannibal Durrant who founded the Durrant Chamber of Commerce.  This man's ancestors were not aristocrats. His business was gained through hard work when he was young. This man is very talented in trading. With his hands, he created a business empire in just ten years.  At that time, some people said that the reason why the Kingdom of Victor became the second largest country in the Federation was not only the Duke of Stella, a Duke with a military background, but also the super businessman who was extremely wealthy.  However, no matter how much money he has, Hannibal is still not a noble. Although he can obtain the title of Lord by donating money, as we all know, Lord is just a title and will not have his own fiefdom.  A nobleman without a fiefdom is not a real nobleman. Although the Durant Chamber of Commerce is rich and rivals other countries, it is because of this that he is in danger of extinction.  The incident happened about ten years ago. At that time, Durrant, who was only in his early thirties, could be said to be the most famous young talent in the Victor Kingdom, and his life had reached its peak.  In addition to his career, he also gained a true love. He fell in love with someone he shouldn't love - a beautiful elf slave.  ¡°Ten years ago in the winter, his lover gave him a big fat baby. However, because of this, disaster befell him.  Love between different races is not accepted by the world, and Hannibal¡¯s wife was once an elf slave.  It¡¯s ironic to say that noble gentlemen can trade and play with slaves of other races as goods, but they are not allowed to get them pregnant.  Because children born from the union of different races are destined to be children of the curse, once the noble men find out that the slave they have played with is pregnant, they will definitely kill the poor slave woman and the child together.  And the reason is simply because they don¡¯t want to be cursed themselves, nor do they want their reputation to be ruined, so in the end the only victims are the poor alien slaves and the unborn children of the curse.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
