Chapter 330: The King's Banquet I.
The core location of the Emerald Capital is naturally the Emerald Square, which is large enough to accommodate 10,000 people, which not only makes the locals proud, but also praises the envoys of Gaosai and Xiti.
This made all the jade people feel a kind of honor.
From the Emerald Square to the east, after a two-kilometer slope guarded by hundreds of guards, you can see an ancient castle.
This castle is not quite the same as the castle in the traditional sense of jade.
In addition to being taller, the shape of this castle is not a traditional spire, but a dome shape with a curve.
The highest dome has three places, with a slight difference in height, arranged in the shape of a 'mountain'.
Verdant, full of life, sparkles when the night comes.
This does not rely on magic crystals, but simply absorbs the light from the sun during the day and releases it at night; Not only is the entire castle shrouded in light, but even the Emerald Capital, and even beyond.
And here it is, the royal palace of Jade.
The emerald green glow emanating from the top of the castle, where the Emerald Kings have ruled, means that it brings vitality and vitality to the entire Emerald King.
Bathed in this emerald green, Dean squinted his eyes slightly, waiting quietly, he rode the war horse that originally belonged to the Minister of War, he was dressed in heavy armor, and the whole person looked more and more heroic, especially when the [imitation. When the Dragon's Head Greatsword appeared behind him, the guards around him, who had already received the news, were even more cautious and cautious against this Lord Zelgaon.
Daytime battles. It has already spread throughout the Emerald Capital.
Dean's fame was shattered.
It's different from before. Simply think Dean is good luck or something.
This time. People clearly understand the strength of this young man, as well as the ...... Brutal!
The heads of more than five hundred, piled up at the gates of Horn Town, were enough to make anyone who saw it tremble in their hearts, and then, two trembles.
And those who did not see it with their own eyes heard the 'paraphrases' of those who saw it with their own eyes.
A fear from the bottom of their hearts began to appear in their hearts.
Therefore. When they saw Dean appear, who had caused this qiē, the guards were terrified.
Even though they clearly knew that Dean in front of them had come to attend His Majesty's dinner, and there were invitations, it did not reassure them in the slightest.
That cautious look seemed as if Dean was going to burst out and hurt people at any moment.
And this appearance naturally made Lauder, who was following Dean, look disdainful - to attend the young king's dinner, although it was not stated how many people to bring, but according to etiquette, only one attendant could be brought with him. and guards of no more than ten people.
This is what Dean knows, and it is also what the Grand Duke swordsmanship has instructed him to do.
Dean had no intention of despising the young king, though he looked down on him a little. However, it was still done according to etiquette.
Lauder followed as a squire.
Ten young men selected from the Knights of Fecharon were the guards.
Chad and Mach are naturally in the list.
In the same way, to be able to attend the King's dinner, the young people of the Knights of the Knights of Fecharon were naturally very excited; However, they also know that they can't embarrass their own adults.
Therefore, no matter how excited you are, it is also a solemn look.
And with such solemnity, a tempered military aura began to appear on these young people, making the people who passed by and saw it subconsciously look at it twice.
After all, this kind of aura is different from the teams they have seen in the past.
However, when they saw Dean, especially the appearance of the heavy armor and giant sword, these passers-by instantly thought of something, and immediately turned pale, began to lower their heads, and hurried away.
Of course, not everyone looks like this.
Some of the guests who had also been invited by the young king were waiting in Emerald Square, and some of them glared angrily at Dean and his party.
However, when Lauder's vicious gaze swept over, the men immediately lowered their heads or simply changed their smiles.
It's a pity that Lauder, a former tax officer, is too aware of such tricks.
He saw the true faces of these people very clearly.
Then, the family emblems to which these people belonged were remembered one by one.
Although Lauder has studied as much as he can, there are so many nobles in the Emerald Capital that until now, Lauder, who has an outstanding memory, still can't remember the family emblems of all the nobles in the Emerald Capital.
But that doesn't stop him from doing his job.
Help your own adults deal with official documents and distinguish enemies!
When your own adults are in need, they pounce on each other like vicious dogs and bite each other to death!
Lauder, who remembered these two very simply, responded to those with ill-intentioned guys with a smile full of enthusiasm and countless times more sincere than the other party.
Wheels, wheels!
With the clatter of wheels, a carriage appeared behind the Emerald Square, and then, straight through the crowd, stopped next to Dean and his party.
Suddenly, the carriage attracted the attention of most of the people present.
They were curious as to who would dare to be on a par with the 'butcher'.
But. When they saw the family crest on the carriage clearly, these people immediately stopped talking!
Chancellor of the Exchequer, the coat of arms of the Kuster family!
After the death of the Minister of War this morning, this lord seems to be a dominant family in the entire Emerald Capital, and with this lord's identity, he can naturally be ranked alongside the 'butcher'.
Even, many people maliciously speculate that with the ferocity of the 'butcher', it is natural to find a reliable 'master' in order to continue to be 'active' -- and the role of the Chancellor of the Exchequer seems to be just right.
Of course, you need to be vigilant at all times, this adult's 'crossing the river and demolishing the bridge'!
Although the Minister of War lost his life this morning. But some of the news he left behind before his death. But it's still fermenting. And, it's being accepted.
Moreover, it seems that because of the death of the Minister of War, the rumors that had developed from such news became true.
However, such malicious speculation is nothing at all for Dean and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Even. Neither of them will take it to heart.
To put it simply, these people are not looked at by the two of them at all, after all, they are just some villains who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour-
"Dean, good evening!"
The carriage window opened, and the smiling face of the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared behind him.
"Good evening, Lord Kuster!"
Dean bowed slightly.
The two sides started with a friend-like conversation and began to chat in waiting.
Something that doesn't make sense.
No one mentioned what happened today, and likewise, some of the 'interests' that the Minister of War had secretly left behind. It wasn't even mentioned.
As for the one on the surface?
With Ryuro's help, Dean has already put it in his pocket.
"Dean, what do you think of the seafaring trade?"
Abrupt. After a small talk, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said suddenly.
"I don't know much about the seafaring trade!"
Dean replied bluntly.
Of course, there is a hint of humility in this answer, after all, Dean still knows a lot about the ports that connect the three kingdoms of Jade, Gosai, and Sitti, as well as the overseas Free Federation, and some of the in-demand goods, and Dean, who used to be a black market merchant, also knows very well.
However, in the face of the Chancellor's sudden inquiry.
Dean instinctively humbled.
Sometimes, hiding clumsiness doesn't necessarily make you look clumsy.
However, showing off too much will definitely make people look at you like an idiot - especially when your show-off, 'acting is bad', even more so.
"Are you being too modest, knowing that the Zergaon family has the best seamanship......"
The Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled as he checked Dean's expression.
The calm expression made the Chancellor of Finance disappointed again.
He had never faced such an opponent.
is young, at any time, he will always be able to do a drop of water, that kind of patience, the city, even some old and spicy businessmen, may not be able to compare.
The previous chatter and temptation made him feel a little helpless.
"The Wolf family has a fleet of ships - armed merchant ships!"
In the end, the Chancellor of the Exchequer chose to end the boundless temptation, and under the urging of time, he said straightforwardly.
Although this will make him lose some initiative, it is better than useless work, right?
"Armed merchant ships? What do you mean? ”
Dean muttered the phrase 'armed merchant ships' playfully, and then looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer quietly.
Arming merchant ships, although there is a word for merchant ships, but the prefix of arming is more important; After all, it foreshadows that they are merchants in part and ...... in others Pirate!
As for pirates, Dean has always had reservations.
It's not just the Emerald Grand Duke's crackdown on pirates, but also because pirates, like their colleagues on land, are representatives of distrust and capriciousness.
"There are about ten or so armed merchant ships, and there are two Galen ships among them!"
The Chancellor of the Exchequer whispered.
"Two Galen ships!"
Dean narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flashed with depth and coldness, and then, as soon as he raised his hand, the young people of the Knights of the Phacharon Knights scattered around.
The Chancellor's middle-aged subordinate also left the carriage and stood outside the carriage, acting as a guard.
