Chapter 151: The Sovereign's Luncheon
After the conversation, Qingyi returned to the dormitory. Clavisoll didn't say anything, pulled him to the chair, pinched his shoulder, and looked distressed. And Nave also has a stinky face, and she is on the sidelines, like a thug.
…………………………………………
"Does the Twilight Cult have anything to do with the Twilight Empire?"
"Nope. Although the name is the same, it absolutely does not matter. ”
Just now, Qingyi answered the question with a smile while keeping the reporter's face in mind. He still had the heart to think: Wow, his endurance is getting better and better, and he can still laugh, this heart is really abused like iron stone.
…………………………………………
"The Twilight Cult crashed into the muzzle of the Knights of the Iron Hoof." He suddenly opened his eyes and said, "If it weren't for those guys in the Holy See, the Dusk Sect wouldn't have become a 'cult'. But it doesn't matter, the Twilight Cult is still very young, and in the near future, all the people will have absolute faith in the Soul God. ”
Clavisoll said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes~"
Qingyi couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "I said seriously!" The original management model of the Twilight Church is not conducive to the spread of doctrine, and we must change something in order to make the church more vibrant. But don't worry, just build up your strength. ”
At this moment someone knocked at the door, and when the door was opened, it was the royal steward of Bigbower. He bowed meticulously and said, "A luncheon has been prepared for His Majesty June Sunshine and other adults, please move to the restaurant." ”
"It's great, there's a big meal to eat~"
Nave, on the other hand, was in the opposite mood with Clavisol: "I can't digest it anyway, and the food will only rot in my stomach." Well? Why are you looking at me? What did I say wrong? ”
Qingyi held his forehead and said with a smile: "My knight, you are too good at spoiling the scenery!" ”
According to the default rule, when a monarch of a country attends a private banquet of another monarch, his entourage and envoys are not allowed to sit at the table, so Qingyi enters the restaurant by himself. The table was long, and King Bigbower sat far opposite, as if he was afraid that Qingyi would harm him. After Qingyi sat down, several waiters in black dresses held silver plates and brought the tempting aroma of the first plate, the cream chicken crisp box. It seems that this is a very formal meal, and it is necessary to pay attention to the order in which the dishes are served, starting with the first plate, and then it is the turn of the soup, appetizer, main course, and dessert. This is nothing, among them, the pairing of soup and main dishes, the pairing of main dishes and table wines are all exquisite, and the more noble the status, the more effort is made in these details.
How good our necromantic creatures are, except for the boss, we don't care about red tape. Qingyi thought to herself.
The king picked up the fork and spoke, "Your Majesty June Sunshine, I heard that necromantic creatures don't need to eat?" ”
"Necromantic organisms have stagnant physiology and lack of digestion, so the way they absorb energy is different from that of humans." Qingyi smiled and picked up a chicken crisp box, put it in his mouth, and felt the extremely limited feeling coming from his taste buds. His EQ is a little higher than that of Neve, and he wouldn't say on this occasion that "glands in necromantic creatures don't secrete digestive juices".
"Excuse me, how do necromantic creatures sustain life?" The king was in high spirits.
"It's inconvenient to tell you." Qingyi said in his heart: If we like to devour souls, can you still eat?
Soon, the appetizer was served. The king wiped his mouth with a napkin and asked, "I heard that the Necromantic King has the [Necromantic Domination King's Authority], and all necromantic creatures will support the king unconditionally?" It must be very easy to manage. ”
"Not necessarily. For low-level necromantic creatures with unsound minds, the king's orders cannot be disobeyed; For mid-to-high-level necromantic creatures, the effect should be discounted. High-level necromantic creatures have their own will, and although they respect the king, they also have self-esteem, and they will not put the king first in everything. ”
"Really? I'm so envious of you. Since necromantic creatures worship the 'strong are respected', high-level necromantic creatures should also obey you unconditionally. ”
"No, it's not." Qingyi took the small bottle of pepper and poured it on the dish, and the pepper dispersed into a cloud of gray mist. He is a person who likes to enjoy the pleasure of eating, but unfortunately as a necromantic creature, his sense of taste is out of balance, and he can only taste the food in the way of wild condiments. "Only a small number of the dead have abandoned their belief in survival, and the vast majority are reluctant to feel alive. When the deceased is reborn, it is natural to cling to the chance of survival. Compared to one's own life, relatives, friends, lovers, strangers...... The life or death of all people does not matter, so the necromantic creatures will be selfish and may disobey the will of the king. ”
"Having abandoned all unnecessary emotions in order to survive, necromantic creatures are extremely rational, and this rationality can also be said to be in line with animal instincts. One of the most important things in animal instinct is that 'the strong are respected'. At the same time, instinct also realizes that 'if you follow the strong, you will live longer', so the necromantic creatures will obey the necromantic king. Both independent and gregarious; Being both selfish and devoted, this is the paradox peculiar to necromantic creatures. ”
Speaking of which, Qingyi had already poured half a bottle of salt, and the salt powder was piled up like a small snowy mountain. He tossed it with a spoon a few times and tasted it again, and then he was satisfied.
(Xue Duo whispered: "I'll just say that the host is a heavy taste!") ”)
The other party listened and ate at the same time: "Interesting, really interesting!" This is a people without faith...... No, this is a nation in which everyone believes in themselves! Tell me more! If I were killed by you and raised again, would I obey you? ”
"Generally speaking, as long as you are not a king who is too useless, you will be a necromantic king after being reborn. The same is true for you, if you are also the Necromantic King, you can attack me, and your subordinates can raise their weapons against me. Qingyi began to pour ketchup. No second person would dare to eat this appetizer of his. Even if it wasn't a dish he cooked, as long as it passed through his hands, it could be incredibly destructive.
"All necromantic creatures can't attack you, can they?"
"Yes." Qingyi recalled that Bishop Pooh was full of demonic flames, and immediately changed his words: "Of course, nothing in the world is 'absolute', and I have met a person who dared to make a move against me. Maybe there was a god standing behind him? I don't know where his confidence comes from. ”
The waiter brought the soup and removed the empty plates.
"By the way, do you know if there's a way to keep the stopped time moving?" Qingyi remembered what happened to Annie Gill, so he wanted to find a breakthrough from Bigbowo's side.
The other party put down the knife and fork, chewed silently for a while, and then said, "Only time magic." Unfortunately, Bigbower's academy has never had anyone who specializes in time magic. It remains to be seen if anyone has mastered this magic. ”
Thaumaturgists moaning without illness! If it were him, maybe there would be hope! Finding a way back, Qingyi was a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Maybe there are people who have mastered time among the 'people who hold the movement', after all, the 'movement' is the top power." ”
King Bigbowo's eyes flashed: "Have you heard the 'music'?" ”
Qingyi was happy in his heart: I finally surprised you! "Of course I did. I am one of those 'people who hold the movement'. ”
"You're kidding, hahaha!" The king laughed heartily: "Why don't you show it live?" ”
Qingyi shook his head: "This is not good, my 'movement' is the final chapter, once it is sung, it will end this continent." ”
"Is that an exaggeration?"
The king's eyes darkened slightly, and although he concealed it well, Qingyi still saw a trace of contempt. However, it doesn't matter if Qingyi can't show his skill attributes to prove his innocence.
When drinking the soup, Qingyi drank loudly, while the king drank quietly, which can see the gap between the cultivation of the two sides. If Chief Jont had seen this, he would have to force His Majesty to learn etiquette with a stick.
Afterwards, the main meal is served.
Picking up the knife and fork, the king looked at Qingyi's face, and his tone became solemn: "Sir, it's time for us to talk about business." What are you here for? ”
Qingyi looked back without flinching: "I want to know, why do you want to sell the ore to Astantt at a low price?" ”
"Would you rather hear the truth or lie?"
Qingyi was most annoyed by this kind of question, and said decisively: "Listen to both." ”
"The lie is: the sudden incident of the Cloudy Singer in Astant, the residents of the capital have suffered heavy casualties, and they urgently need to replenish troops and armaments, so I sell ore at a low price. The truth is: first, to show favor to Astant; second, to further open the market of Astante and find a new direction for the export industry; Third, we should suppress the price of armaments, so that we can buy 'broken silver' at a lower cost. King Bigbower was also refreshed, and he told the strategy in one breath.
"Suppressing prices? Do you think you'll succeed? ”
"Can't you? Trade wars and financial wars, to put it bluntly, are to see which side has the most abundant capital. Haven't you heard the saying 'cash is king'? I'm the one with the most cash on the continent, and if you fight me, you'll lose. ”
"Today's economic hotspot is not in Bigbowo, but in the Twilight Empire, so when it comes to hot money, you are not as good as me." Qingyi laughed, not frightened by the other party.
The other party smiled even more: "Hot money always comes and goes quickly, and it is not reliable at all." In terms of family background, you are not even as good as other countries, let alone expect to surpass me. ”
"I remember that Bigbower was not strong enough to manipulate the prices of the entire continent, since he was not even an economic hegemon, it was better not to be too big."
"Looks like we're going to have to fight?" King Bigbower poked his fork and poked a piece of grilled meat, as if he was picking up a corpse with a spear, showing off violence and blood.
"Haven't we been competing for a long time?" Qingyi smiled.
"Hahaha, thanks to your words, I have a great appetite!" When the king had finished speaking, he smiled and eliminated the pieces of meat.
Qingyi raised his glass, and the amber wine swayed: "Cheers to our good appetite!" ”
"For the sake of a good appetite!" The king raised his glass and drank it again.
