Chapter 145: Picking A Companion
Floid thought on it for a second and he finally decided that he would go to the restaurant. Right now, Floid thought that this might be a chance to find something interesting to do with his time before he goes to meet the king of Trad. Floid told Dragonnel to accept the invitation and Dragonnel was a little surprised. He didn't think th this lord would accept the invitation. Dragonnel also knew that the invitation was just a ruse that Raven was using to get closer to Floid, but why did his master still decide to go? Dragonnel wondered what Floid had planned now. Was Floid going to the restaurant because he wanted to use Raven for something or was he just trying to see what Raven has planned for him?
The restaurant where Floid was invited to was the largest in the entire hotel. The restaurant took up a staggering 10,000 square feet on all sides! It had a balcony as well a bar that had hundred of different drinks all arranged under golden light! The atmosphere in the restaurant was very high-class and only people who were accepted personally by Raven could even take a foot inside here. There were no reservations in this restaurant because the high class doesn't need reservations! To come to a place like this, you have to know someone that knows someone that knows someone! If you don't have a strong position in society or trade then you have no chance of ever coming into the restaurant!
So it is no surprise that the people in the restaurant were all high-ranking members of society! They were in fancy clothes and they spoke in hushed voices that wouldn't be heard from other tables. No one wants their secret conversation to be heard by another person in a place like this. Any secret that you accidentally spill here will be used as ammunition against you. High society was a dangerous game and only the careful survive.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
This restaurant was so high class that even the staff were some of the most elegant people around Trad! The staff all wore full suits as they carried the food around to all the guests!
Floid entered the restaurant with Allucrd behind him and Floid could sense as the chattering stopped in the large room and everyone turned to look at him. There were a lot of whispers going around the place. Things like.
"Isn't that the young master that came in this morning?"
"The one that took Raven's penthouse key? I heard he is a new billionaire who recently made it into high society. No one knows anything about him,"
"I've been asking everywhere and he is like a ghost. Who is he?"
Things like these were floating around the room and Floid frowned in annoyance. he hated it when humans acted like pack animals. Don't they know the meaning of subtlety?
Floid told Alucard to find a suitable table and Alucard moved forward and guided Floid towards a good table on the balcony where there were very few people seated. Floid could sense that there were still a lot of people looking at him but he didn't even bother to give them any attention. He just grabbed the menu that Alucard handed him and waited. Floid was sure that he would be entertained here. He just has to wait and see how.

It would look bad for the church if they ran away! Why would a priest of the church run away from his responsibilities!? This is what the people of the kingdom will think and they will start criticizing the church! The head priest hid this incident and he wanted to choose another batch of young people. But no one volunteered this time! The young priests in the church realized that they might go missing as well if they volunteered so they decided not to volunteer at all! This is what made him so desperate that he had to choose old priests instead! He didn't have a choice!
The head priest couldn't say anything and he just looked away! Quinn sighed in annoyance! She wouldn't choose any of them no matter what. She will rather go on this mission without any help from a priest than choose a priest that will slow them down! Quinn was about to turn and leave the hall but the door to the hall suddenly opened and another priest walked in. Quinn stopped in her tracks and her eyes widened slightly when she saw the priest. He was young with black hair and eyes. He walked with a tall posture and Quinn could tell that he was built rigidly under his robes!
Quinn has seen many fighters since she came to this world and she knew that this man was a very good fighter! Who is this!?
"Head Priest, I wish to volunteer for the position,"
Dray spoke up calmly as he looked at the head priest and the head priest couldn't hide his shock at all! The head priest knew Dray was one of the newer priests! He didn't think that any young priests would volunteer after all those young priests went missing before so he was shocked to see Dray! But he didn't let that stop him from using this to his advantage! The head priest gave Dray a brilliant smile and he spoke up loudly!
"Oh, young Dray! Welcome! Welcome! Come and meet the hero!"
All the old priests that were there before were completely forgotten as the head priest quickly took Day by the shoulder and led him towards Quinn! The old men frowned and grumbled as they walked out. They knew they didn't stand a chance against someone like Dray. There is no way that the hero would choose them over Dray!
Quinn watched how Dray walked and she noticed that, unlike other priests, he was confident in his steps. Most of the priests that Quinn had met were clumsy and they never walked with a regular stride, but Dray's stride was perfect! It was the same as some of the soldiers that Quinn has seen in the military barracks and Quinn wondered what sort of training he must have done to become like that. Quinn already liked Dray far more than any other priest she has ever met!
The head priest spoke up once he got in front of Quinn.
"Hero, this here is Dray. He is one of our most devout priests and as you can see he is built like a stallion! A true man capable of helping you out in all your quests! I am sure you will see his usefulness if you give him a chance!"
Dray scoffed internally once he heard this! Most devout priest? What nonsense! This was the first time that Dray was ever meeting the head priest face to face and the head priest had probably only heard Dray's name once or twice before! There was nothing that would make the head priest say that Dray was devout at all! He is just trying to make me look good to the hero since there aren't any other volunteers!
