Chapter 650: 208. Wow~ Little Gold Vault_2
Let’s just forget about it.
Having an imposter butler lurking in Dickler Fagen’s territory, this place will sooner or later beco a source of disaster. It is better for him to keep his distance.
Noland Lee had no intention of exposing the true identity of the imposter butler.
He cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, put on a polite smile on his face, and presented the invitation letter to the imposter butler before him.
The imposter butler took the invitation letter and quickly glanced at the characters on it.
He looked at Noland Lee’s appearance, recalling the information in his mind, and smiled with raised corners of his mouth:
“Welco, Mr. Noland Lee Jarvis. Your deeds have spread far and wide. Even Young Master Fagen has heard of you. Please go on in. Once the banquet starts, I’ll arrange your eting. Please be patient and wait.”
“Thank you.” Noland Lee took back the invitation, nodding respectfully toward the imposter butler with the goatee.
He continued on foot, passing through the crowd of servants playing music and walking towards the brightly-lit manor mansion in the distance illuminated by magic lamps.
Looking back at the manor gate and the ocean in the distance, with the setting sun about to disappear into the sea surface, more than 50 luxurious yachts gathered amidst the shimring waves.
The later a guest arrived, the greater their importance.
The banquet would not start until all the guests on the luxurious yachts had arrived.
Roughly, Noland Lee might have to wait at least an hour to get food from the self-serve dining table at the banquet and appreciate the dancing gestures on the dance floor.
This ti was for the guests to familiarize themselves with the environnt, also known as the warm-up ti.
Kaiden had specially told Noland Lee about this. He said:
After entering the manor, before the banquet starts, visitors can walk around the manor, but do not enter the basent or any floors above the ground level.
To be more precise, don’t enter any rooms marked “Guests, Please Do Not Enter.”
Casting spells in the manor is also not allowed.
Located in the manor’s basent is a magical device that can accurately detect fluctuations in spells.
This type of magical device will interrupt spells as soon as they appear, causing magic backlash for the caster.
Noland Lee’s ntal magic is immune to magic backlash, but he won’t test his ntal magic here.
As he always emphasized to himself, his only two purposes for coming here were to discover secrets. Anything else that would interfere with those two objectives was not part of his plan.
As a result, Noland Lee, like an honest and unassuming local wizard, walked into the manor in an honest and unassuming manner, using his eyes to inspect things inside and outside the house.
He sent out multiple deconstruction techniques, checking everything he could see.
After confirming that there was nothing worth paying attention to, he ca to the pavilion of the garden, holding a half-glass of wine, and stared in the direction of the manor gate.
To enter or exit the manor, one must go through the main entrance.
This applies to ordinary guests as well as VIPs.
Noland Lee stood in the pavilion, instantly obtaining the information of the VIPs by directing his deconstruction technique towards the direction of the main gate, without worrying about missing anyone.
“Hmm… the owner of thirty magic chanical ships, the owner of ten magic farms, the owner of a magic workshop that mass-produces magic water purification devices…
“These are all wealthy people with mountains of gold and silver. Other than people who make big money through trading, has Dickler Fagen not invited anyone from other fields?”
Noland Lee said in a low voice.
As his voice fell, a luxurious yacht with a “Scales” emblem stopped at the shore, and the people who ca ashore, surrounded by servants, walked towards the manor gate.
“This is the emblem of the Mantas family.” Noland Lee stared at the “Scales” emblem on the yacht that flickered with a golden glow for a little while.
He shifted his gaze to the scrawny old man being greeted with a smiling face by the imposter butler.
The mber of the Mantas family attending the banquet was thin and short, with a sharp chin, small eyes, and round glasses on his bridge.
Just one look, and his shrewdness could be felt.
Noland Lee used Deconstruction to check this man’s panel information, matching it with the common knowledge conveyed by Kaiden.
The man was one of the four butlers of the Mantas family, nad Butler Bowles. He was in charge of the Mantas family’s social and financial affairs and often appeared at various family banquets.
It was said…
Butler Bowles had an unsavory hobby…
His master, Yorksim, the third in line to inherit the Mantas family, knew about it.
But since the butler’s position was inherited and Bowles’ social and financial abilities were excellent, Yorksim turned a blind eye to his unsavory hobby.
Noland Lee was not interested in the so-called “unseemly hobby”, he just wanted to take a peek at the secrets within the Mantas family.
With Bowles’ appearance, undoubtedly, his second goal for the night was in sight.
Without hesitation, Noland Lee consud Energy Points to start Deconstruction on the scrawny butler, who had only Five Rings of strength.
A slight sense of trance flashed through Noland Lee’s mind, and a large amount of system text appeared.
