Chapter 247: A Sharp Turn

As the time for the ceremony to begin was getting closer and closer, the number of people in the venue, which was originally only a few dozen people, began to increase suddenly, and the atmosphere gradually changed from cold at the beginning to lively. ,!

It's just that the people who can come here are basically people with heads and faces, and unlike those nouveau riche and the like, they all have a good upbringing. Even when talking to people, the voice is deliberately low, so although the participants in all directions are crowded and connecting with each other, the venue has only a lively atmosphere, and there is no sense of noise and noise, and the performance of the bands on the chanting stage is still clearly audible.

"Relax, we're here for a banquet, not for duty."

In the ceremonial room, a man dressed in a Knights Templar's uniform bust and a white dress resembling a suit was casually talking to his companions.

As he spoke, he held his chest up, as if he was afraid that others would not see the medal on his chest that represented the captain of the Templar team.

"I remember this was not a banquet, but a ceremony to honor a person who has made outstanding contributions to all of humanity, right?" The man, who also wore the captain's medal, but was dressed worse than the former, corrected the mistakes in the former's words with a bitter face.

"So what's the matter, anyway, it must be a routine banquet after the award ceremony."

The man in the white dress stroked his grass-green hair to make his bangs look a little more stylish, and then he dusted off his sleeves with a nonchalant expression on his face. He has already experienced a lot of award ceremonies, although they are not as big as this battle before. But in his mind, the other party would get a Bright Saint Medal at most, and it shouldn't have any impact on the subsequent process.

"Instead of such a boring thing, let's hurry up and find some aristocratic ladies to talk." After tidying up his appearance a little, the green-haired man in the white dress changed his expression to a hearty smile.

He knows his identity and temperament very well, and with this smile, he is simply a standard image of Prince Charming, and for those who are obsessed with romantic knight novels, how lethal the young girl with little experience has great lethality.

"I don't think it's good to do this......" The other man still grimaced: "Anyway, we are all clergy of the Holy See......"

"We are the Knights Templar, not the ascetics of the Gospel who are required to keep the Three Thousand Commandments! What's the matter with hooking up with some aristocratic ladies! The other party's words are not finished. The grass-haired man in the white dress interrupted him impatiently with a wave of his hand: "Besides, we can get married, I'm just looking for my true love!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What's wrong, what I said is wrong?" Seeing the other party's look of seeing a ghost, the grass-haired man felt a little angry in his heart.

But then, the man noticed that his companion's gaze did not seem to fall on him at all, but directly over his shoulder, floating behind him.

"No, no, no! Regiment, regimental commander! At this time, the guy who always had a bitter face reacted. stammered: "Commander, she's watching here!" ”

"What!" The green-haired man was also startled. Hurriedly turned around, and found that the girl who had silenced him on weekdays was as always, wearing a full-body armor without a little slack, covering her beautiful curves, and standing upright in the corner, her eyes radiating a palpitating cold light that was no different from usual, looking directly at the two of them.

"Doesn't she hate feasts and other lively scenes! What will appear here! The man shuddered, gritted his teeth and complained.

"Now, now, what now, what should I do?" The other asked, horrified.

"What else can I do, run!"

Sivi carried two plates full of buffet food. Passed by the two of them.

He looked back at the two men who had left like rabbits chased by hungry wolves, raised an eyebrow, and then continued back to the girl, who was still unleashing murderous glances in the same direction, and handed her one of the plates.

"It seems like two of your men were scared away by the way you look now." Sitting on the chairs for those who were tired of standing, Sivi used his fork to stick a grilled sausage just enough to swallow in one bite, and said as he ate.

"yes, I was so hungry just now. Completely unnoticed. Frey frowned after taking the plate: "What is meat for Lu?" ”

"Of course, it's because meat is easier to eat."

Sivi chewed on the sausage and replied vaguely, "Didn't you keep saying that you were hungry, and I didn't want to go on a second trip." ”

"Honestly?"

"It's a shame to be a man with desserts like cake pudding on your plate!"

Frey and Sivi looked at each other for half a minute, and only then did they sigh as if admitting defeat. Pick up the fork on the plate and poke the roast meat on the plate: "Every time I eat this kind of meat, I always clearly recognize that I am eating the carcasses of other animals......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Although almost none of the clergy, except for ascetics, abstain from eating meat, most of them do not eat meat much for this reason."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"After killing the other party, they also destroyed their corpses, and even used their corpses to feed their stomachs......"

"Okay, okay! I'll just get you dessert, don't say anything like that! Sivi barely swallowed the meat in his mouth, rubbed his temples with a headache and raised the white flag to the other party in surrender.

Looking at the back of Sivi as she went to the long table full of food again, the corners of the girl's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Time passed unhurriedly, and because she was replenished with sweets to replenish her empty little belly, the girl finally had room to do other things. So she continued to stay in the corner with Sivi, and she began to introduce the celebrities and aristocrats who entered to Sivi one by one.

At this point, Sivi also had to admire this girl who looked about his age. Although in terms of knowledge, Sivi has been systematically instilled, but it is like a celebrity and aristocrat of this era. Except for those who took the initiative to appear in front of him, such as Queen Julianne and the like, Xiwei was still in a position where his eyes were black and he didn't know anything.

After all, Xiwei's predecessor was just a little-known little mage when he traveled to the Eastern Plains, so naturally it was impossible for him to have a channel to recognize the upper class, and after crossing over, Xiwei had been busy in Julian and the surrounding area for the academy or other messy things, how could he be in the mood to have anything to do with the upper class.

Of course, he had heard of some famous names, such as Pierce, the Grand Magician of the Seven Yao Mages Association? Greenβ€”if it hadn't been for Frey telling him. I'm afraid that if Sivi encounters this councillor who occupies a seat in the Mage Guild elsewhere, he will only think of him as a fat old man who can be seen everywhere......

It seems that we will have to pay attention to the information of the characters in the future. Sivi thought to himself.

"But I didn't expect you to have such a big face, and even Lord Green was shocked." The girl looked at the old man who was wearing the same mage robe as Xi Wei and came to participate in the title ceremony not far away, and said with emotion: "I heard that Your Excellency the Great Magician has not been out of the Qiyao Mage Tower for a long time. ”

"To be honest, I didn't expect it either." Sivi shrugged and said that he was also surprised: "I thought it would be Lady Quillin who came to this ceremony......

In fact, because of the encounter with the willing Vagere Wakelon in Horadur? Green, Sivi always has a little bit of dislike for the Green family. In his opinion, the Seven Yao Mage Association should not send such a short and fat bad old man to disgust him. It would be better to send Lady Quillin, who had a relationship with him and awarded him the Order of Green, to attend this ceremony......

It's just that Sivi is also self-aware. Although he has been promoted to a high-level mage (of course, there are not many people who know this), even if he is tied to his own academy, he is only a small shrimp compared to the behemoth of the Qiyao Mage Association. Naturally, the other party didn't need to pay too much attention to his wishes.

And in his opinion, the meaning of the Seven Yao Mage Association's sending the Great Magician here was not so much to attach importance to him, but to have some kind of private agreement with the Pope who held the ball. I'm afraid that after the title is completed, the people of the Qiyao Mage Association will also get involved in their transactions with the Pure White Church.

This situation is really troublesome......

"Don't be in a daze. It seems that another heavyweight is coming! After shouting softly to Sivi a few times, but receiving no response, Frey poked the soft flesh on Sivi's waist with her fingertips, and pointed to the door when Sivi glared at her.

Sivi followed her movements and looked at the door, only to see a long red carpet spread out of nowhere, and on either side of the carpet stood well-armed magic swordsmen with uniform movements.

Even the doorman who was on the roll call was pushed aside by these magic swordsmen, and Xiwei even found that those magic swordsmen were quietly watching the daring to be angry and not speak out. The doorman muttering something in his mouth, I'm afraid that as long as the doorman makes any aggressive movements, he will be immediately subdued by the demon swordsmen around him.

"It's so presumptuous to mess around like this in the Sanctuary." At first, the girl's eyes narrowed when she saw those magic swordsmen as ordinary squires, and as the head of the knights, she obviously saw the meaning of those magic swordsmen. Although his tone sounded quite calm, Sivi could feel the anger in itβ€”damn, it was too creative to go on a rampage with an army in someone else's house.

"The pomp is so big, it can't be the king of a certain country, right?"

However, Xiwei has a different opinion, no matter how far it is from the entrance of the Sanctuary here, if it is really just a matter of IQ, I am afraid that he will be hit by an arrow in the knee halfway and be carried out of the Sanctuary by a group of clergy men.

Just as Syvi and Frey were at odds with each other, three men walked down the red carpet into the arena.

At the front was a man over half a hundred years old, with a mane like a lion and red hair like a flame. He was wearing a simple white dress, but whether it was the white gold necklace around his neck that was a finger's thick and inlaid with an elaborate sparkle at intervals, or the rings on his hand that seemed to be made up of precious metals and gems such as gold, it felt a little vulgar, but each one of them was a precious magical item, and it was a good indication of his status. What's more, this man in the prime of life still faintly exudes the temperament of a superior.

The two young men behind him, the twenty-three or four-year-old on the left, had blonde curls that were completely different from his. The lines on the face also tend to be softer, if it weren't for that graceful and luxurious temperament, I'm afraid it would give people a feeling of a little white face at a glance. Wearing a dark brown tuxedo and a smile on his face, he slowly followed the man in his prime.

The man on the right may not look like he is yet twenty, he has the same bright red hair as a man in his prime, and a little shadow of a man in his prime can be vaguely seen on his face. He did not wear a gown, but a silver close-fitting armor. With his iron-blooded temperament like a soldier, it complements each other very well.

Sivi gasped when she heard the girl next to her.

He just wanted to tease the other party if he had a crush on one of them, but before he could speak, the girl spoke first.

"It's the Dragon Scale Emperor, Bart? Joseph and his two sons ......"

Sivi froze for a moment, and then suddenly remembered.

Isn't Nima's 'Dragon Scale Emperor' the title of the Emperor of the Horngolat Empire, the superpower with the highest national strength in the Pan-Human Race Unification Alliance!

Do you want to know the Dao Sheng? The Doragon Academy of Magic, the first magic school, was only fostered by the Horngolat Empire, and even the founding of the Seven Yao Mages Association had the shadow of this superpower in it. And the leader of this monster, which is even bigger than the Seven Yao Mage Association, actually appeared at Xiwei's canonization ceremony like this at this moment!

No wonder Sanctuary doesn't care about them. I can't do anything about it......

It wasn't just Sivi who was frightened, but the people who were chatting around were all frightened by this sudden bombshell. I could only watch the other party come in.

"You're too faced, aren't you...... I said, shouldn't you be a prince who wants to be enthroned by some big country, and then deliberately concealed your name and came here to be crowned? The girl came back to her senses, blinked her eyes uncontrollably, and asked Sivi.

"You've read too many romance novels." Xiwei, who has also come back to his senses, has a feeling of horror - why is even the first power interested in him? Could it be that the matter of the academy system has been exposed?!

Aside from that magical system, Sivi had no idea of anything in him worthy of the three giants of the Pan-Human Race Unification Alliance.

While Sivi was still frightened, the girl's interest had shifted elsewhere.

"It seems that the rumors are true."

"What rumors?" Because he felt that continuing to worry would not change anything, Sivi also planned to find something else to distract him first.

"The Struggle for the Throne of Horngolat." The girl towards the dragon scale emperor Bart? The two people behind Joseph pouted: "That's the eldest prince and the third prince." The eldest prince is friendly with the nobles in the country, and also has a huge fief and a large number of private soldiers, while the third prince has a certain degree of military power. There are a lot of armies that can be called, and the two of them are the ones who are most likely to become emperors at the moment. The girl said, her gaze resting on the armor of the third prince again: "It's just that there are rumors that the eldest prince may not be born to the Dragon Scale Emperor, so the Dragon Scale Emperor prefers his younger son...... Do you see that armor? ”

"That's ...... Magic items? Wait a minute......" Xiwei's eyes widened, he looked at the identification results given by the system, and couldn't help but lose his voice: ", legendary items?!" ”

"That's right. That is one of the treasures of Horngolat, the dragon scale heavenly costume! Legend has it that if you wear it, you can turn it into a treasure with the physique of a dragon. The Dragonscale Emperor's fame was also earned because he wore this treasure when he was young, and swept away the rebellion of the three principalities with a small army. Frey nodded, as if pleased with Sivi's knowledgeable vision: "I gave this weapon from my youth to the third prince. This is not much different from showing the chariot and horse to tell the others that he is going to pass on the throne to the third prince. ”

Just as the girl continued to gossip about other things, a sudden voice interrupted her words.

"It's not a good thing to choreograph others, Frey."

The girl was like a startled cat, and immediately swished out of a vigilant motion. It turned out that the person who said this was none other than Cardinal Leon, who had led the way for Sivi earlier.

"My lord, I'm just talking about things." The girl who had been caught had returned to her former heroic state, and said to Sivi and Leon unhurriedly: "Since you are here, you must be looking for Mr. Edric. Then I won't accompany you. ”

After saying that, he fled majestically.

In other words, if you can run away with a reasonable appearance, should you be worthy of being a person from the Holy See......

"The Pope has entrusted me to tell you that it's almost time to get ready to take the stage."

"Well, I know what to do." Sivi nodded, and then followed the cardinal as he headed toward the chanter.

When they reached the edge of the chantle, it was unknown whether the road was trying to maintain a sense of mystery or something, and the light source on the ceiling was completely obscured by a huge curtain, plunging the entire venue into darkness. This also quieted the whispers that had erupted again for a while...... Well, just a little......

Just as Sivi walked onto the chanting stage and the light returned to the field, a scream pierced the field and echoed in everyone's eardrums.

Not far from the screaming lady, a headless corpse sat at the table, with a large stream of blood spurting out of its neck like a fountain, staining the bodies of the two young men beside it who had been stunned by the situation bright red.

Emperor of the superpower Horngolat Empire, the Dragonscale Emperor Bart? Joseph, in the church of the Sanctuary, was brutally murdered. (To be continued)
