Chapter 412 The Banquet (Seeking 2000 monthly votes by the end of the month!)
This was the first time Celia had ever entered the complete lord's castle.

The last city lord's castle we entered was the Southern City Castle, but unfortunately it was destroyed before we could even get inside. When we finally went in, it was already in ruins, and we even went to their warehouse to take some things.

Celia looked up at the magnificent castle and couldn't help but exclaim, "How spectacular!"

"Duke Pharos's castle is indeed magnificent. It was built at the request of the Holy Court to express our gratitude to Duke Pharos for his contributions."

Benovia's voice came from behind her. Celia turned around and saw Benovia slowly walking over with a smile on her face, wearing a formal dress.

Celia looked down at herself.

Fortunately, since she came to Leites City for fun, she had specially worn a beautiful long dress at the beginning. Although it couldn't compare to other people's gowns... Celia believed that her appearance made up for the shortcomings of her clothes!
Celia is never insecure!
"Is Duke Pharos Phil's father?" Celia asked.

Benovia nodded: "Yes, it just so happens that Phil's birthday is coming up soon, and she's nearby this year, so Duke Pharos insisted on throwing her a birthday party."

Celia muttered, "Bishop Holder actually lied to me and said it was a victory celebration prepared for me. How despicable!"

"What kind of celebration banquet?" Benovia asked curiously.

Celia briefly told Benovia about the sea monster she had encountered on the beach that afternoon. Benovia pondered for a moment and said, "Besides notifying the Temple of Leites, we should also inform Archbishop Melina and the others. Perhaps this aquatic parasite got lost because it was on the outskirts and came here. The deep-sea behemoth's target might be the Golden Apple Stone Forest."

"makes sense."

Celia looked down, opened her bracelet, and sent a message to Melina, telling her about the aquatic parasite and Benovia's speculation.

Melina quickly replied, "Received."

Celia stopped paying attention to the matter and asked the know-it-all Benovia curiously, "Does Benovia know what important things Duke Pharos has done?"

Benovia said, "The most important thing is to clear out all the threatening monsters within a 300-kilometer radius of Leytes City, making Leytes City an important port, bringing commercial prosperity to Leytes City, and making it known as the beacon of Ishtar."

Benovia looked towards the lighthouse in the direction of the sea, from which she could still vaguely see: "For this purpose, the Holy Court specially built a huge lighthouse to solidify the title of Duke Pharos's Lighthouse. Today, this lighthouse has become the symbol of the city of Leites."

Celia suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Smoothing the seas and creating a safe shipping route for the entire city has greatly contributed to its prosperity. He deserves a statue or something.

"Alright, we've arrived at the banquet hall. The banquet hasn't started yet, let's go grab something to eat first."

Benovia beckoned to Celia and led her into the castle's banquet hall.

At this moment, the banquet hall was filled with people, each dressed in an elegant and luxurious gown, holding crystal glasses and gathered in twos and threes, talking about something, occasionally letting out a soft laugh.

Some of these people are older, but most are young.

Anyway, Celia didn't know any of them.

The two's appearance also attracted the attention of the people inside, but they didn't seem to know either Celia or Benovia, so they glanced at them and then stopped paying attention, continuing to talk quietly in their own little circles.

"These must be nobles from the city of Leites, right?" Celia thought to herself. "Or maybe wealthy merchants or something."

All the nobles possess magical fluctuations, but almost all of them are below the third rank.

I can't tell if it's level four or higher from Celia, I don't know.

As a genius sorceress, Celia felt no inferiority in the presence of these nobles and wealthy merchants; on the contrary, she was very confident. The two searched the banquet hall for a moment and soon found Phil surrounded by many young men and women.

Phil, dressed in her finest attire, felt somewhat overwhelmed by the young people surrounding her. But when she saw Celia and Benovia, she was overjoyed, waving frantically, "Celia, Benovia, over here!"

Many young nobles looked over, and their eyes lit up when they saw two young and beautiful girls walking by.

However, Phil, the main character, was standing to the side, and they did not come forward. A young man in a black tailcoat smiled and said, "Are you friends of Miss Phil? Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Baker Yarman, the eldest son of Earl Yarman. It's a pleasure to meet you."

He glanced at Benovia, assessed her attire, and seemed to give up on striking up a conversation.

He looked at Celia and was taken aback when he saw that her clothes were just an ordinary long dress. Then he looked at her beautiful face and his eyes flashed with amazement. He walked over to her enthusiastically.

Celia was also walking over.

Then he walked past him, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Phil, stretching, "Phil, aren't you going to tell me what's going on?"

A look of displeasure flashed across Baker's face, whether from displeasure at Celia ignoring him or from her casual treatment of Phil, it was hard to tell. His tone turned colder: "Miss, although you are Miss Phil's friend, please don't be so casual in such a formal setting. If you don't understand aristocratic etiquette, I can teach you."

Celia didn't speak, but Benovia's voice came: "Count Yarman once fought alongside Duke Pharos. As the person in charge of logistics, he withheld more than 30% of the supplies when delivering them to Duke Pharos."

"After the maritime situation was stabilized, he monopolized the slave market in Leites City, but he was still not satisfied. He used his position to establish a long-term partnership with the Leites City gangs, selling many prohibited drug materials, including pearl rosemary, on the black market."

She glanced at Baker, whose face was growing increasingly pale, and chuckled, "Am I right, Mr. Baker?"

"Don't talk nonsense! What evidence do you have? And who are you?" Baker shouted angrily.

Phil looked at him, frowning. "I'll have my father investigate this thoroughly."

Beck hurriedly said, "This man is talking nonsense, don't believe him. My father is the most loyal to Duke Pharos!"

Phil didn't speak, but just looked at the guard beside him.

The guards stepped forward and led Baker away.

Celia watched Benovia's actions and secretly clicked her tongue in amazement.

How does Benovia know everything?

Is there anything she doesn't know?

What is her family's background?
Seeing Beck being dragged away, another nobleman stepped forward. Just as he was about to say something, Benovia looked at him and said, "Do you also want me to read out what your family has done?"

The other party promptly backed down, slunk away, and went to find someone else.

Of course, I'm not afraid to say it out loud.

But Phil, the protagonist of the banquet, seemed to have no doubts whatsoever and believed the mysterious noblewoman's words immediately.

This is very scary.
