It was a small dinner at the town hall of Malen, a ceremonial banquet for the Virginian Empire as the host to entertain the remnants of the Confederacy, well, the Allied generals from afar from the Confederacy. Although it was "small", the total number of participants was more than 30, of which more than 20 were Nord army generals stationed in the Great Lakes region. The rest of the generals of the Federal Expeditionary Force, and, of course, Leonhardt, who had just become a hero? Major General Astrey, also known as the "Red Thunder Light", is a famous young general of the Federation.

The one who presided over the banquet was naturally the highest-ranking Nord Crown Prince Artoria? Pan Gangda? Nord? Arnoor, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was the other two members of the Nord royal family who were sitting on the side who really presided over the banquet and even the military affairs of the entire Great Lakes Theater of Empire. Char, the eldest son of Emperor Otto, and Emperor Otto's cousin, Duke Toruń, the lord of Pine Ridge Castle, who is about to turn 60 this year.

Of course, in addition, the royal family members present also have a "hearty smile" from beginning to end, of course, it is not so much the noble and reserved "aristocratic smile" of the royal members as the undisciplined cowherd smile, so most of the people present just made up the vase figure for the background of the youngest prince of Otto.

As for this side of the Federation, how many generals sat on, the nephew of Daddy Seaweed, Rudolph? Lieutenant Colonel Geisel was not qualified to enter, but Lu Xi, the little major, sat in the hall in a dignified manner, and no one seemed to feel unnatural.

Of course, in the message of the invited Nord royal knights, there were indeed people who did not open their eyes to express dissent. The answer was: "Lu Xi? Master Berencaster was a close friend of the royal family of Arnoor, and a friend of the entire empire. Certainly eligible to attend any banquet convened by members of the royal family. To put it bluntly, the reason why the generals of your army were also invited. It's just incidental. ”

It's demonic! This demonic aura is really big! Although at this banquet, everyone's expressions were very natural, Lu Xi still had a feeling of sitting on pins and needles, and couldn't help but look at Char and Olivier with sad and angry eyes. The former fell on deaf ears, while the latter raised his glass with a smile and a distant greeting.

"Wha, you're the little magician Otto said?" Although he was almost 60 years old, Duke Toruń, who still had a strong and upright body like a young man, looked at Lu Xi, and then at Artoria next to him, who was so red that her face was about to fall. He grinned and laughed, looking not much like a high-ranking Nord royal nobleman, as if he was a senior mountain king. Of course, the old duke's mother is said to be a famous female mountain king, and he had a relationship with Emperor Otto's father, who was also the first emperor of Nord, who transcended his status. Of course, that's another story.

"In my opinion, it's actually quite a good boy. Although the appearance is indeed ...... Well, Xiu is a little too angry. And it looks quite thin, but if you look closely, it should actually be quite tough. That's right, I heard. Did you single-handedly fish out your fleet? Oh, it's dangerous. Still, you're amazing. ”

Lu Xi glanced at the Federation generals with embarrassed faces. Smiled wryly.

"Well, let's not talk about business. It's rare for everyone to get together today. Your army should also be very tired. We should eat and drink. Let's get some rest! Rest assured, the town of Maren is now the hinterland of the Empire, and you are absolutely safe here. Char took up his glass in his capacity as the supreme commander of the Battle of the Great Lakes in Nord (Artoria's current official position is the crown prince's overseer, to put it bluntly, a vase): "I wish our sister, our future lord His Highness Artoria, eternal health, eternal beauty, and ...... Forever blissful ever! ”

The generals of the Federation looked at each other, but they were not in a position to disagree in the current situation under the fence, and they all had to stand up. As a republican officer shrouded in the glory of "democracy and freedom", he must raise his glass like a courtier, toasting to the future empress of a decaying empire destined to be run over by the wheels of history. This must be a very storied story, right? Anyway, Lu Xi could be sure that he heard the sound of the founding fathers of the Federation, and the proud glass heart shattered to the ground.

Artoria bowed her head with perfect and awe-inspiring manners, accepting everyone's respect.

Although it seemed a little embarrassing at first, at least since then, the discipline and reserve of the Federation generals have been put down in such a self-defeating manner. The atmosphere is starting to liven up a bit.

Artoria saw that Lu Xi's wine glass was empty, so she was very considerate with the crystal pot with a long tube, and poured Lu Xi a glass of yellow-orange-orange wine that reflected a hint of golden brilliance: "This is the White Thorn Ice Honey Wine produced in Sweet Bay, and it is the top famous product of Nord Ice Honey Wine, which is very relieving." You can drink a little more......"

"And then you can get some rest?" Lu hoped at the knight princess's dark green eyes like a lake, and suddenly felt a little more guilty: "I'm really sorry, Artoria, I'm really sorry......"

"Why did Lu Xi suddenly apologize?"

"That...... Artoria, I hope you can do me a small favor. ”

"It's so much to say that you can help or something." Artoria shook her head and corrected the other party seriously: "You have helped me in a lifetime that I will not be able to pay off. Even I can say that all the qiē I have can be shared with you. If there's anything I can do for you, just say it. ”

Lu Xi sighed, put his head to Artoria's face, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear. The knight princess was still a little uncomfortable, and her face was quickly covered with a hint of redness, but with Lu Xi's words, her face suddenly changed, and the blood color faded, turning into disbelief and consternation.

Lu Xi ...... Are you kidding? Artoria stood up abruptly and said loudly.

"I wish I was still joking, but alas, it wasn't this time." Lu Xi showed a natural smile, spread his hands, and his tone seemed a little distressed. It's as if he just said something very common, "It turns out that everyone reacted so much, and it made me feel very stressed."

“…… But do you know how much of a danger it can take? No, it's not dangerous, it's clearly going to die! Artoria gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and said seriously: "If, if you insist on doing this!" Even if you use force, I will never let you go! ”

"Artoria...... What exactly did Master Belencaster say? Char put down the wine glass, and although he was talking to his sister, he still directly cast an inquiring and even threatening look at Lu Xi.

"He ......"

"I'll tell you." Lu Xi sighed, stood up, and let his voice be heard by everyone: "Although it is really incomprehensible to say such things in such a cheerful scene, I must also say: I must leave in advance...... So, I hope to borrow some horses. ”

Olivier narrowed his eyes, as if he had understood what Lu Xi was going to do, and sighed faintly: "Not a smart choice. Lu Xiwuyou, this is really not a smart choice. ”

"No way, Olivier, I seem to have done a lot of unsmart things so far. But this time, it's not just the will of the great universe, it's not just other reasons that can't be persecuted by outsiders, even if I don't have this, I have to do it. It's your own will. ”

Yes, when Lu Xi drove the Qiyao Aurora and hovered over the battlefield three times, the system panel naturally jumped out of the following tasks.

(System: Congratulations to the host for triggering the A-rank mission "Saving Private Moore.")

Mission Description: Miss Student Council President, who has a heart for her host, has reached the most dangerous moment. She was surrounded by vast mountains and dense jungles, and armies of orcs and undead were tracking her existence, and she had no backup, no supplies, and not even a hiding place to sleep for an hour or two. You are her only support, and of course, the hope of the remnants of the remnants who have once again been brainwashed by the host's disgust.

Quest Victory Condition: Enter the mountains of Namoa, and bring Sehiruch? Moore was taken to a safe place.

Mission Failure Condition: Sehiruch? Moore died.

Additional Notes: The remnants of the Federation who are isolated in the mountains, the more the host rescues, and the more additional rewards they get.

Reward for winning the mission: 40,000 experience points, 20 attribute points, and 10 skill points.

Failure Penalty for Mission: Well, as one of the protagonists of the Crystal Palace system at a certain point, I don't need to talk about the consequences of being a member of the Crystal Palace, right? Outside the box observers of the Great Cosmic Realm are sharpening their knives. ）

At that moment, for the first time in his life, Lu Xi did not immediately ridicule the system, but he almost couldn't help jumping up and started cheering. The appearance of this mission can at least show that Sehireu is still alive and well. Then, even if there is no systematic task reward or failure penalty, even if it is your own will, this thing must be done.

"I need ten to twenty horses, a certain amount of water and medicine. If you can, you'll need a map of the Nightwolf Hills, and if you do, you can give me a map of the area around the Iron Rock Canyon. Other than that...... I would be grateful to have a guide who knows the terrain and is willing to volunteer with me. ”

Lu Xi thought for a while, and suddenly pointed at Olivier again: "If I don't come back, then you can ask him for money!" He still owes me the balance of 100 baht. ”

At this time, as long as you are not a fool, you should know what Lu Xi is going to do. (To be continued......)

PS: Well, today is another two watches, two watches at the end of this month, please give me your last vote
