Luo Qi and the others agreed with the Gnomes on the terms. The Gnomes were willing to sell them at the price of five hundred thousand gold coins for a set of armor and weapons. In other words, each set of fifty gold coins was sold to Luo Qi. They would do it with the dwarves, and because they were grateful to Loki, they lowered the price by half. The gnomes did not earn Loki's money, and even the dwarves' money was the lowest price they could get.

Loki and Katharina discussed it, and they finally decided to order a hundred such suits. Of course, it would be best if Luo Qi ordered 6,000 sets so that he could set up a God's Cavalry Camp, but the cost was too high. A hundred sets meant fifty million gold coins. Even with this kind of capital contribution, Kathleen could only approve of it from her father. She didn't even have the money to take it out herself.

After returning to the Mercenary Group, Kathleen wrote a letter to the Mercenary Group to send it to the imperial capital. Tonight was the dinner prepared by City Lord Kerry Gates, and Lodge, who had not wanted to go, agreed at Batchman's request.

Loki wasn't going to take her, because she was too powerful to be insulted at a time like that. More important, he wanted to avoid the evil Kerry Gates, who didn't care about the city lord, but he didn't want to get into a fight so early. Now was not the time to take care of him.

Avril had prepared a dress for Rocky. She helped him with his clothes, and Kathleen looked at Avril and Roche with distaste, but she knew she was not fit to go tonight. After putting on the dress, Avril couldn't help but exclaim, "Roche, you're so handsome." Kathleen's eyes lit up as she watched, sighing over the lack of her for tonight's banquet.

Of course, he wanted a present for the party, and Loki was no exception. Dinner was usually a good time for gift-giving, but not for Roche, who brought a few bottles of medium quality wine. His gift, of course, was to spend his own money. He refused Batchman's good intentions. Loki didn't ask what Batchman had prepared. He didn't want to worry about that. That was Batchman's business.

Just like that, Luo Qi and the others rode in a slightly high-end carriage to the City Lord's Mansion, and Xiao Long was also left at home. Bachman was the leader of a mercenary group, and riding in such a carriage would suit his status. The carriage stopped in front of the Mayor's mansion and they got out. An endless stream of guests wearing gorgeous clothes went in and out of the Mayor's mansion, of course they went in and out a lot.

There were a lot of guards as well, and there were a hundred of them at the entrance. The strangest thing was Luo Qi was that in front of the banquet held by the city lord, there was a mercenary group guarding the entrance. This mercenary group was naturally the Thunderbird Mercenary Group, which meant that they had an extraordinary relationship with the city lord. It was impossible to bring too many guards in like Bagman. Too many guards would threaten the safety of the mayor, so it was forbidden.

Without delay, Batchman led Loki to the mansion. On the way, Avril took Loki's arm to let everyone know that Loki was her partner. Loki had come today to protect Avril, so he was not surprised by Avril's actions. Besides, not many men would reject Avril, who was so beautiful.

Batchman handed the guard his and Loki's invitation, and he and Avril's only invitation was a single one, with the names of two people written on it. After the guards checked the invitation cards, they bowed their heads to Loki and bowed with their right hands on their chests. "Thank you, Sir, for coming." If the captain of the mercenary group wasn't important to them, they wouldn't dare to be rude to him.

Lodge nodded and followed Batchman inside. Loki and the others didn't arrive early. They walked through the front yard of the mansion filled with soldiers and arrived in the main hall, which was already filled with all kinds of nobles. Lodge didn't know anyone except City Lord Kerry Gates and Alabel Ace, and even though the City Lord wasn't there yet, no one came to greet him.

"Bachmann, it's good to see you. We haven't seen each other in a long time. " The leader of Thunderbird Mercenaries in the crowd, Arabel Wenman, greeted Batchman first. In contrast to Batchman, the leader of the mercenary group was very refined. He wasn't as tall and sturdy as Batchman, but he was also a lot thinner and thinner. But he was also a Silver rank warrior like Batchman.

Batchman agreed. "Well, Arabel Wenman, you've been doing a good job lately. I heard that your son was recognized by the mayor. You will soon have the city of Logupo under your rule. " Batchman was still too reckless to give face to Arabel Weinman, and he went straight back.

Alabel Wenman, who knew Batchman's character, laughed and turned his head away from Batchman. It wasn't as if Barchman only knew one Alabel Wenman at the breakfast party. He had business friends as well, so he went to greet them himself. Of course, he brought Avril and her guardian, Loki, with him.

Although Loki was right next to Barchman, his attention was completely focused on him. His eyes roamed about, searching for something he was interested in. Avril held Loki's hand. When her father talked about her, she would greet him with a smile from time to time, nodding her head.

It wasn't long before the mayor, Kerry Gates, arrived at the podium at the top of the hall, accompanied by Arabel Edes. When he saw Avril holding onto Loki's arm, he smiled and said in a loud voice, "Honorable ladies and gentlemen. Today is my birthday, so I'm very happy to have all of you here. First of all, I would like to introduce today's VIP Captain Loki to everyone. "He is the leader of the Bow Cavalry Regiment from the sixth legion of the Empire. Please welcome him with me."

Under the applause, Loki walked up to the podium. Avril let go of his hand and looked at Loki enviously. Luo Qi's age was enough to make people envious, not just Avril, but everyone present, including Kerry Gates. It was the first time Loki had spoken in such a situation, in full view of the crowd. Of course, there had been one in the army, but it was directed at his soldiers. However, his self-confidence made Loki unrestrained.

Roche said, "Hello ladies and gentlemen. Glad to receive an invitation from City Lord Kerry Gates. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have spoken at a banquet. He didn't know what to say, so he hoped that my arrival wouldn't make anyone take offense. I wish everyone a great time tonight. Have a good time through this beautiful night. " After saying that, Loki gave everyone a noble salute. The formalized speech ended with a round of applause.
