Chapter 816: Ambiguous
As more and more guests came with invitations in hand, the banquet hall and corridors were full of aristocrats pausing to admire the decorations placed on the walls or around the corners, and from time to time whispered and their faces showed unconcealed surprise.
In order to highlight the wealth and heritage of the rulers of the Kingdom of West Hartland......
Well, in fact, in Henry's opinion, his family belongs to the outright nouveau riche, and it has only been about ten years since he became a nobleman, where did he come from......
But since his wife insisted, he didn't want to say anything, anyway, no one would be stupid enough to offend a notorious legendary spellcaster because of such a trivial matter, at least on the surface.
In order to highlight the wealth and heritage of the royal family...... Sycodia put it from Uster. The cultural relics looted by the first family of Nasa were all taken out, and the palace expanded from the original duke's mansion was decorated in a retro elf style, coupled with the royal guards wearing exquisite armor, giving people the illusion of coming to the elf king of Yongju Island.
In the corner of the banquet hall, a fashionably dressed lady stood in front of a half-naked statue and exclaimed, "Sir Torre, look, this sculpture is the work of the most brilliant elven artist from more than 10,000 years ago. What a perfect line treatment, especially the emerald eyes, are so lifelike that a human craftsman may not be able to achieve in a lifetime. Similar crafts and works of art can be found throughout the palace, and I am now looking forward more and more to the auction after the feast, and it seems that the Angome family is even richer than rumored to be. ”
"You're right, Ms. Blanche. Each of these works of art can be used as a family heirloom, and I believe that many guests come with the same purpose, and the competition will be very fierce when the time comes. In addition...... "Speaking of this, the middle-aged man known as Sir Torrey cautiously looked left and right to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then pretended to mysteriously lower his voice. "I've heard that these artworks come from an underground city filled with evil dark elves!"
"Oh...... The Fire-Haired Lady (another name for the goddess of love and beauty) is on it, and it should be the rumored Ust who was completely ruined by terrifying magic. Nassa, right? Blanche's face suddenly turned a little pale. He put his hand on his chest and patted it gently. "It's horrible! Every time I think about it, my heart can't help but beat faster. ”
The two slightly trembling balls on her chest instantly caught Sir Torre's eyeballs, and the man with the mustache hurriedly stepped forward and diligently supported the noblewoman, never leaving the other party's "career line".
After swallowing his saliva, he chuckled and said, "Dear Blanche, you are so kind, you must know that in my opinion, those evil dark elves do not deserve sympathy, think of the killings they often cause on the surface." Such an evil race deserves to be taught a harsh lesson. ”
"Hey...... You men are virtuous, and your mind is full of thoughts of conquest and violence, although it does make your blood rush and feel very ...... at some special moments Stimulated ......" said the noble lady showed an ambiguous look, blocked her mouth with the fan in her hand, and smiled secretly.
Obviously, as a woman who believes in the goddess of love, this hint of her could not be more obvious.
Sir Torre bent down and kissed the back of his hand deeply, and was about to say a few sensual words when the door to the main hall was suddenly opened. The soldiers guarding the door shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the King has arrived!" Her Majesty the Queen has arrived! ”
Immediately, all the guests in the house, no matter what they were doing, immediately stopped and bowed to the host who walked into the venue.
The guy who can get the ticket is not a fool. They had already heard about Henry's deeds through various channels, especially the story that the elven bard had been singing around for some time, which made everyone tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Evil dark elf cities, horrible armies of monsters, legendary mages trying to steal divinity, dragons that only appear in stories, there is no doubt that they are even more powerful as those who can defeat this qiē, so it is necessary to maintain enough respect.
Henry narrowed his eyes and glanced at all the people, and was shocked to see that Cynthia was among them. He immediately frowned, and asked his wife in a quiet whisper, "What's the matter?" What are you doing with this spy at the banquet? ”
The corners of Sycodi's mouth turned up slightly. With a smug smile, he lowered his voice and replied, "Don't worry, I asked Robert and Amy, and they said that in the current state, Cynthia has no destructive power, just a little girl who is a little confused." I felt that I could take advantage of her unusual appeal as the host of the auction......"
"Damn! Don't you know that she is very dangerous? Henry instantly felt a little headache. Forget it, that's it for today, and try to minimize contact with her in the future. Although the woman is harmless for the time being. However, for the sake of your safety and the safety of your children, it is better to keep your distance as much as possible. ”
He didn't dare to guarantee when the people of Yin Soul City would activate this chess piece again, and he also didn't know what Cynthia's specific ability was, after all, as a possible descendant of the demon prince Demogorgen, she would never be as harmless as she usually appeared.
Shi Kodi nodded slightly regretfully: "Okay." Listen to you. But I do like the way she looks now, how innocent she looks. It's as if the years have never left a trace on the soul......"
Ignoring his wife's feelings, Henry put on a polite smile again, and shouted to all the guests with open arms: "Welcome to the kingdom of West Hartland, please indulge in the carefully prepared dishes and wines, and as the host, I hope you all have a pleasant evening." Of course, there will be a bit of thrilling after-show at the last minute, which I believe will never disappoint anyone. ”
After saying this polite opening sentence, he went to the table and put a cherry in his mouth, then raised his fine glass to greet everyone, followed by a small sip of wine.
"I wish you and Her Majesty the Queen a long and healthy life!"
The guests also raised their glasses and saluted in unison.
After the necessary etiquette is over, everyone slowly relaxes and begins to enjoy the delicious food at will, especially the fresh vegetables and fruits that are rarely seen in early spring, and everyone who has tasted them is full of praise.
You must know that the out-of-season fruits cannot be eaten at all except for the mage's arcane garden. As for the druids, they have this ability, but they certainly wouldn't do such things that go against the laws of nature.
For the banquet, Shi Kodi was obviously more comfortable than her husband, and it didn't take long for her to run into the circle of nobles to talk and laugh like a hostess. From the expressions of the people around them, you can see that their topic is either clothes or jewelry.
"Woman......"
Henry sighed helplessly, and then planned to find a quiet place to sit for an hour or two, waiting for the auction to begin. He didn't have the heart to have boring greetings with the guests, and he was also not interested in hunting for beauty on such occasions. Although for the aristocracy, this is already a matter of course.
"You don't seem to like this kind of occasion? So why come? Sheena, who had been silently following behind, finally spoke.
Since the forced kiss incident just now, the relationship between the two has suddenly become a lot more complicated, just like those men and women who accidentally cross the boundaries of friends, they are a little unable to adapt to the current situation, to be precise, the dragon girl can't adapt, from her eyes can see contradiction and fear, like a child who has done something wrong.
As for Henry, he enjoyed the feeling of excitement and heat, so he turned around and smiled at the dragon girl: "What if you don't like it, things in this world don't happen just because you hate it." Life is like this, full of helplessness and compromise. So when something irresistible happens, what we have to do is not to struggle painfully, but to learn to enjoy. Take a look at these guests. Their lives are also full of all kinds of troubles and troubles, but they are not just looking for pleasure now. ”
Sheena didn't expect such an answer, her face flushed slightly, obviously remembering the kiss she had kissed a few minutes ago.
She stroked her long blonde hair, bit her lower lip hard, and asked with some embarrassment, "Are you hinting at something?" ”
"No, I'm just stating a fact. You always regard the bloodline of the red dragon as a scourge, and try to suppress it. But this will not help at all, and the more something is suppressed and exploded, the more difficult it is to control it. What's more, as a half-dragon person, if you suppress the bloodline, you will no longer be able to gain more power from it, and the gain in doing so will not outweigh the loss. Henry patiently explained.
He could have used the blood of the primeval red dragon to make the dragon girl stronger, but the premise was that he had to take the initiative to cooperate, especially since it was not easy to accept the restless power in the bloodline from the heart, and many half-dragons went crazy in the process, causing quite terrifying damage.
"Yes...... But I'm a monster. Don't you mind at all? ”
After a few minutes of silence, Sheena finally asked the question that had been buried in her heart. It can be seen that she is quite inferior in this regard, and even wanted to hide in the mountains for a while.
"Mind that? Why should I mind! Henry asked with a smile.
Sheena took a deep breath and replied, "Aren't it ugly that I have wings, claws, horns on my head, and a tail behind me?" ”
After listening to the dragon girl's words, Henry couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha! Contrary. I think they are all very attractive and can give people a thrill that is difficult to describe in words. A flaming passion. To be honest, I prefer the real you just now. ”
"You think I'm so attractive?!" Sheena's eyes widened instantly, and an incredible expression appeared on her face. "You're a weirdo, and you're pretty crazy."
"Thank you for the compliment, in fact, you should think about the problem from a different perspective, it will be much easier than now." As he spoke, Henry gestured to a man who was walking this way. "Also, don't underestimate your charm. Seeing that the man in the hijab didn't, I bet he must have been attracted by your beauty and temperament. ”
Sheena glanced up at the guy in the strange costume and frowned slightly: "I think this person is approaching you, and he has a young girl behind him." ”
"Let's wait and see, the answer will be revealed soon anyway." Henry didn't pay any attention to the dragonmaiden's slightly sour tone, and a playful smile appeared on his face...... (To be continued~^~)――12792+d6su9h+11123863->
