Chapter 747: Continuing Events (5)
But thinking of this, Kasia remembered about the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance in the Empire. That's the information from Grote's mouth, both of which had previously been placed in Avalon, enjoying the most secure protection on the one hand, and on the other hand, for the research of the top scientists.
None of them were manufactured, at least not the Empire, nor the original Mano Kingdom. They were first found by archaeological and expeditionary teams and used as a symbol of royal power at the time. It was characterized as the Holy Sword and Holy Spear of the Empire, and as a standard for testing whether or not to become a knight king, it was also after the establishment of the Empire and the beginning of surgery.
"Since he has regarded Peginz as an advance agent sent by other continents, will the ancient ruins he explored have anything to do with such a thing?" Cassia felt that this part of the matter at the imperial level, no matter how much he guessed, would stop in roughly the same place. After all, the operation of a country, and the vision and planning of the people at the top of the pyramid, are not areas that he can easily touch.
There was so little information about it that Kasia couldn't get the results she wanted, no matter how much she thought about it. Instead, he thought about how to collect the other books that Perkins had written at the time.
"You can ask Ye Jielin for help, except for the example of Sha Ke and his grandfather, the possibility of such books falling into the hands of ordinary people is still smaller. I don't know if there will be something to be gained in the dark world, there is everything in it, and the amount of transactions on some ancient artifacts can sometimes even exceed the purchase and sale of ammunition. β
Unfortunately, it is not possible to contact Delya immediately to do these things. Being on an airship, of course, you can communicate. It's just that the signal has become too easy to catch, and for fear that their airship might be following the enemy, Kasia can only wait until he reaches his destination.
It was only a little later than winter when it got dark. Kasia had eaten in the cafeteria in advance, bought two large bottles of juice and waited in the house for the night to fall completely.
"Shako, it's me, Tusos, come and return the book. Kasia stood outside the door and knocked softly, wondering if it would be natural to say hello. After waiting for a few seconds and not responding, Kasia continued what she had just done.
There was no one inside, and Kasia pressed her ear to the door, not hearing anyone inside.
"Banquet?" thought to Kasia, standing in front of the protective door of the elevator, "according to Shako's character, if those people forced her to go, she probably wouldn't refuse. Even if you refuse, it may not change the outcome. β
The elevator stopped, and before the protective door could be deployed, Kasia heard a commotion coming from the end of the long hallway. The band's delicious melodies were all drowned in it. The slightly colored lighting had given the party a flair that seemed more like a high-end bar to Cassia.
There were a lot more people than Kasia had imagined, and the whole hall was full of people, and it was a little crowded when it was spacious enough.
The air was filled with the scent of all kinds of alcohol, but the fragrance had long since changed when it was mixed with different scents of perfume and the smell that escaped from many people. But it is impossible for this group of people who are completely immersed in the atmosphere to feel it.
In the middle of the hall was a table vacant, where a few people with less cloth were dancing. Kasia walked into the hall and scanned around to find Sako, who was lying on the table with her eyes tightly closed.
There were other people around, if memory serves, all of them were her classmates, including Edith and Ronier's group.
"Is it a carnival among classmates?" Cassia wanted to laugh, but couldn't. If it weren't for Edith and Ronier's group, he would have thought it would. But looking at the time, this flavor banquet didn't start long. Among the other classmates, there doesn't seem to be any good friends of Shako. There were a few people standing on the outermost side with worried expressions on their faces, but perhaps for some reason, they had to choose to maintain this neutral attitude.
Walking past the edge of the hall, Kasia took a big stride, and soon reached the edge of the center of the hall.
"Shako, have another drink, it's rare to be so happy, don't let everyone be disappointed. β
"This time, the cup has been changed to a smaller one, just one cup. β
"Shako, Shako!" The voice was smiling, and the faces of the people around them all showed a flush, and not long after the banquet began, they all drank a lot of wine.
Shako, of course, couldn't hear the words, and the red crept up from her face to her ears and neck. I don't seem to have any resistance to alcohol.,My eyes are tightly closed.,Although there are still movements on the body.,It's also because of the discomfort.γ
"Ronier, pick it up, finish this glass of wine and stop playing. Edith spoke happily, and the person next to her glanced at her, but chose to keep her mouth shut.
"Yes, yes, it's hard to be happy. "Ronier wasn't afraid.
"Just drink in moderation. Outside the crowd, a young man who looked a few years older than them came up and said, "Alright, alright, stop playing." β
"One last drink, teacher. Edith said, "You don't care." The tone rose and fell, and the young man glanced at Edith, and finally gave in.
"Wait a minute, remember to help her to the side and rest. The young man said, realizing that it was not quite appropriate to stand there, reflexively returned to his position. Before he turned around, the light in front of him suddenly disappeared, and he bumped into another person, and his body rebounded, and he took a step or two back before he stabilized.
"I'm sorry I didn't pay attentionγγγ" the young man apologized.
"Are you their teacher?" asked Kasia waving his hand.
"It's their γγγ," the young man said halfway through, "I can only be regarded as a surrogate teacher, and I work as a research assistant under their real teacher." I don't know why I'm saying this, the young man just thinks he'd better not lie.
"May I ask who you areγγγ" The young man was about to ask, but Kasia had already squeezed into the crowd, walked up to Sako's side in a few steps, gently slashed Ronier away, blocked it aside, and took the glass of wine from Edith's hand by the way.
"I'll pick up Shako. Kasia ignored the other people's eyes and shook Shako, but didn't react at all. So he could only help her up, but the posture was more like Kasia unilaterally carrying Shako. As a girl, Shako's weight is not a bit of a burden on Kasia.
"Are youγγγ isn't this the one Shako is talking to in the waiting room?" the ebb and flow of her voice made Kasia wonder if something was wrong with her throat. But without answering, Kasia walked straight out of the hall, talking to such people, who had never been very good at talking. And you can't do anything about it yourself.
But the clothes are pulled, and it is Ronier in Shaco's mouth.
"What's the matter?" Kasia's eyes made Ronier's body tremble, and the alcohol did its job at the right time, and his flushed face showed that the adrenaline in his body was being secreted in large quantities.
His voice became a little high, and Ronier didn't know where he got the strength, so he shouted: "She's my classmate, and you've only known someone for less than an hour to help her go, who knows what you want to do?" Ronier himself first thought of something else, so that his voice also changed.
But it was very effective, all the people around looked over, the stalemate lasted less than ten seconds, and the music stopped at this time, and the two gathered everyone's attention.
Ronier felt as if his blood was burning, and instead of being immediately eroded by the alcohol, his head became clearer. There were often bigger banquets in the family than this, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Kasia, on the other hand, felt very uncomfortable, and did not want to be the focus of these people without knowing it, which would not do him any good.
But this became a sign of fear in Ronier's eyes, and he continued his words: "As a member of the Hall family, and as a baron, the glory of my heart will not allow a stranger like you to take your classmates awayγγγγ"
After processing, it seems to have the effect that Ronier wants, and this set works in many places, especially the first sentence, letting people know their identity as an earl family, has always been the best way for him to make others bow their heads.
The others began to heckle along, saying things that matched the smell in the air. Under the slightly colored light and shadow, for the first time, Kasia saw a richer face and expression, which were completely different from the faces of the very simple people in his own small town, and they did not have a common denominator with the people he met during the mission.
"It seems to somewhat understand why Yeterin and Heslie can kill ordinary people who have nothing to do with them without pressure. Cassia sighed a little, ignored Ronier, and helped Shaco to continue leaving the hall.
"Hey, you stand γγγ"
"Ronier. The young man shouted from behind, and Ronier was stunned for a moment, just about to answer something, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it.
"It's better not to go to the airship with me, otherwise γγγ hum γγγ"
It was only a short distance from the hall, and all kinds of words filled Kasia's ears. Aside from a sigh of amazement, Kasia didn't respond.
Back in Shako's room, Kasia can only make Shako spit out in a violent way, which may be a little more comfortable. Immediately placing Shako on the bed, Kasia carefully sat down on a chair beside her, watching Shaco wake up and looking at the other books on the table.
On the way, he vomited a few more times, but there was nothing else in Shako's stomach, only a little yellowed gastric juice came out, and his face turned slightly whiter from red. It was nearly four hours before Shako opened his eyes and gasped for air.
"Mr. Tuxos?" After a few minutes, Shako drank some juice and filled his stomach with a few minutes before he remembered what had happened not long ago.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tuxos, for the trouble you've caused, and thank you for sending me back. Sha Wei stayed on the bed, not knowing what to say for a while, "Edith and her party are all nobles, and I'm afraid things will get bad." Ronier is also the son of the current patriarch of the Hall family. β
"House Hall?" Cassia remembered at the banquet that Ronier had indeed said that. But he thought about it, but he didn't find a single piece of information about the Hall family in his head.
"It is a hereditary earl family, and I heard that there is a great estate in Manoma, and there is also a lot of power in hand. Sha Ke had a bad face, and causing trouble to others because of herself had always been something she tried to avoid.
"Hereditary Count. Kasia repeated, a look of awakening on his face.
"It's no wonder that I didn't find the surname 'Hall' among the families in the Quartet. β
