In the royal capital, Sindermore, and the Grand Hotel, at the scene of a private cocktail party, officials, businessmen and nobles brought their wives and children, chatted with each other, and made friends with the dignitaries and nobles they wanted to know. Such a drinking party is very common in the political center of a country's capital, although this way of making friends is extremely hypocritical, but people with a bit of status are happy to do it, not to mention that today's private drinking party is organized by Duane, who is currently the most trusted minister of the king's capital.

Among the invited guests, in addition to local officials and businessmen, there are also some foreign ambassadors, although it is a private reception, the standard is very high. Halfway through the party, the exchange became more and more eager, and Duane, who was holding a red wine glass, was always approached by people to talk to him, who had just talked to a family here, and a nobleman came over there.

"Lord Duane, you've been really busy lately. ”

“haha。 Du ane smiled: "Wang Du has just undergone great changes, and it is also appropriate to be busy, as a courtier of Bixia, I will serve the country with all my heart, and I can also make up for my mistake of becoming a henchman of Zalberg at the beginning." ”

"Oh, Lord Duane is now the most influential person in the royal capital, you and Halls are now Bixia's most trusted people, and I still need a lot of help from you in many things. When King Bixia put down the rebellion, I was dizzy for a while, and I didn't have a clear statement to support Bixia, in fact, I still stood on Bixia's side in my heart. It's just that Zalberg was too powerful at that time, and I didn't dare to express my position too clearly because of his coercion. The nobleman who spoke looked at Duane expectantly.

Duane smiled: "Bixia swept away the traitorous party, and the people who had to deal with it were all Zalberg's private henchmen, and the others would not be affected, please rest assured, Mr. Bison." ”

Byson smiled with satisfaction when he heard this: "My family is still very influential in the royal capital, if Lord Duan has any difficulties in the future, I will definitely do my best to help." As he spoke, his face turned straight again, and he leaned forward and whispered: "But recently, rumors that the royal capital is unfavorable to the king have been circulating everywhere, although it is said that the criminals' gate is clearly evil. But the allusion is to the fact that King Bixia shielded the criminals in order to gain support when he quelled the rebellion, regardless of what the prisoners had done. Now there is a lot of public opinion in the royal capital about this matter. Thinking about it, I'm afraid this is also a trick done by the Prince of Guilt in secret. ”

Duane said: "I have also heard that Bixia is not very aware of this matter, and the current attention of the empire is focused on the frontline battlefield and the liquidation of the prince's remnants. You understand that Bixia needs this battle against the Demon Moon to establish his position, and the battle of the Holy Demon is the focus of Bixia's concern. Supporting the king and winning the war is the best way to truly gain the trust of King Bixia, and you have to understand what is important now. As for the rumors, everyone has understood that this is a trick of Zalborg's desperate struggle. Don't be overly concerned, I'll ask Lord Hall to take a strict action against the rumor-mongers. ”

Bison said, "Yes. It was very rewarding to hear what Lord Duane had to say, and I know what to do, thanks for the reminder. ”

Duane smiled: "That's good." There are very close contacts between the clans in the royal capital, and it is not only you who has to express your position, but also your friends and family branches should also fully support it, otherwise you alone support it and others do not express their position. The king will misunderstand the meaning of the aristocracy, thinking that you still refuse to agree with him, and then the king will no longer trust the nobles, and it will hurt your interests. He placed his glass on the plate of the passing waiter and glanced at the ambassador of the Gripen Empire from afar. Said to Bison: "I'm out of company, I'll go to the bathroom." ”

After Duane left, the ambassador of the Holy Gripen Nation also left the reception.

The restroom is a place where private conversations are often conducted, but it is unreliable to say something secret. Duane had opened his room in the hotel, and had already been told to the ambassador of the Gripen Empire, when he had just arrived in the room when there was a knock on the door.

Looking outside the door, no one followed, Duane closed the door and said, "Let Radat make up his mind to use the 'Last Judgment', I have done my best." Now that the officials and nobles of the royal capital are all in danger and are anxious to gain the king's trust, there is no obstacle in winning them over, and if I propose this matter to the king in a few days, most of them will agree with it, and there will be no problem. ”

The ambassador said, "That's good." The chief general said that it will be dangerous for you to stay in the king after this incident, and I have begun to help you arrange a way out of the exit, and you can leave only after the 'Doomsday Judgment' is used on the Demon Moon army." ”

"Hmm. Once the forbidden magic of 'Doomsday Judgment' is used, it is almost impossible for the Holy Demon and the Holy Demon to easily stop their army. When the time comes, they will fight in the dark, and Shijie will be in turmoil, and after the whole Shijie is greatly damaged, our goal will be achieved. ”

The ambassador said: "During this time, you must be very careful, although you use our Imperial Realm language to communicate directly with the Chief General, but if you use this secret language to communicate with people with the Tongyi Stone, once it is known by Radhat, it will make you somewhat suspicious." ”

Du An nodded: "Don't worry, unless it is very important, I will try to contact the chief as little as possible, and I will send someone to inform you if there is anything." ”

"You can't leave the party for too long, I'll leave on my own in a moment. ”

"Well, then I'll go back to the party. ”

......

The bustling city, the noisy streets, in the night of the royal capital, the lights are still so bright. Walking in the city that countless people yearn for, Linda's steps seem a little cold. After Bing Zhixiao left, she was bored all day long, had nothing to do, and her heart without anyone to accompany her was the loneliest heart.

The heart is not completely lonely, and that trace of fetters cares about the people on the other side. Thousands of miles away, the slightest stumbling, I don't know if the face of the person who is being missed in the distance is the same as thinking about himself.

"Bah~!" softly, sighed, this sigh has countless helplessness. sighed, is that his heart is a leaf of duckweed, and it has been many years before he finally found a place to rely on. Helplessly, it is the duckweed that cares, and I don't know how long I can hold the other side.

Some people always know to cherish happiness, and when they know that happiness will soon be gone, the grief in their hearts is even more helpless.

The footsteps are wandering, aimless, in this big city, there is a place where he is home, and without him, he can't find a place where he can feel at ease.

Bar, just ahead. Many people don't really like to drink, but the taste of wine can temporarily numb the empty heart.

"Is she the same person?"

Figures staggered and passed by, and when Linda walked into the bar, Ma Kexin was passing away from her. People who drink alone in a bar will always attract the attention of those who are sympathetic. Linda didn't stop there. I didn't look at her, I just asked myself boredly in my heart.

Yes, most of the women who drink alone in bars are empty women. They can only satisfy the loneliness in their hearts with physical cheating. So as soon as Linda came down, a bored man came to talk to her.

"Miss, can I sit here and have a drink with you?"

Looking at the man in front of him who was smiling with bad intentions, Linda's eyes were only indifferent. No other feelings.

The ill-intentioned man sat down on his own without waiting for her consent, a glass of wine in his hand, and his cloudy, shining eyes fixed on Linda's face.

Lustful men always look so obscenely, and Linda doesn't even want to show a hint of disgust for such a man. She didn't want to waste her feelings on such people. Disgust is also an emotion.

The man smiled, or laughed more intensely, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his half-squinted eyes, all revealing his fantasies and schemes.

"What do you want to drink? The man said, his gaze falling from Linda's face to her figure.

Linda didn't look at him, but at a thorny rose in her hand: "Give you three seconds." If you don't hear from my eyes, I'll make you disappear completely!"

The man raised his eyebrows, he was a little upset, but he didn't care too much. Women are all prickly, especially beautiful women. She has a lot of spines. But the thorns are enough to taste, and the iceberg beauty has a sense of accomplishment when pressed under the body. So he didn't leave, but he didn't go, but he looked at the prickly woman in front of him more unscrupulously.

Ignorant people always die on their own ignorance, especially when their ignorance provokes people who shouldn't be messed with, his death always feels a little funny. But the man was not dead, and just as Linda was about to make him die silently, a man appeared at the wine table.

Linda recognized this person, or they had just passed by, although she hadn't really seen this person, but this person was very special, and the moment she rubbed shoulders left an impression in her heart.

Special people always have a special atmosphere, and the people in front of them have this atmosphere. What is this breath? It's an ethereal thing. Ordinary people can't detect this kind of breath, only special people can feel it. So Ma Kexin also felt that this little woman was unusual, the evil and murderous aura that was inadvertently revealed, if she hadn't arrived in time, her subordinates would probably have died.

Deman Jerivan stood up, and Jerif was the perverted man who wanted to flirt with Linda. He looked at the Tsar, did not speak, and consciously stepped aside.

Markoshin sat down, where her men had just sit, she looked at the woman in front of her, snapped her fingers and called Waiter.

The wine is a special concoction and has a nice name called 'Blue Island'. Ma Kexin shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the wine in the glass and muttered, "The wine is good wine, and the bartending bar is also good." It's a pleasure to drink good wine in a nice bar, but it's not good if someone dies. ”

Linda didn't speak, she didn't want to speak, she had nothing to say to the person in front of her, not to mention that she was still a woman. Some people say that women and women always have a lot to talk about, but that also scores whom. Linda is by no means a woman who likes to talk to women.

Ma Kexin glanced at the subordinates behind him, and said lightly: "Jericho, you go down, I want to drink here." ”

Jerif was gone, and he walked away without looking back, and even if the woman he accosted was beautiful, he wouldn't look at it again at the moment.

Ma Kexin didn't speak again, she just drank. After drinking a glass and then ordering a glass, never more, but never stopping drinking.

Linda was also drinking, she was drinking slowly, but it just seemed to be slow. After a cup of glass, she drank no less than the woman opposite.

I don't know how many glasses of wine I have drunk, at least seventeen or eight glasses. Suddenly, Ma Kexin stopped, she raised her clear gaze, and after drinking so much wine, there was not a trace of cloudiness in her eyes, but they were brighter than just now. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "It's not good to have a dead person when you drink, but it's good to kill someone after drinking!"

In an instant, the person moved......

On the other side of the hotel, there were also two people drinking, but unlike Linda's table, there were two men drinking at this table, and it was two men chattering.

It was Otis who spoke. The land that heareth him is nightless. As soon as Otis finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and tasted it, and his wine tasting action was very beautiful, not only beautiful, but also not artificial. It's as if nature is supposed to be such a perfect movement. If any girl with a spring sees him at this moment, she will definitely fall in love with him immediately, definitely.

"This is Ganztaya's Green Wave Wine, made from deep-sea green algae, bitter plum and the finest red golden wheat. The water used to make sake is not ordinary spring water, but must be made from a pure spring mixed with the cold dew contained in the snow water of the green fairy and the wort. Such a small glass of wine. To say the least, you have to drink more than 800 gold. It is only in a big city like the royal capital that you can find a place to taste it. Otis said with a few treasures.

After listening to him, Wuye picked up the wine glass and took a sip. I only feel that this wine is extremely bitter in the mouth, but after the extreme bitterness for an instant, it is full of cold and sweet fragrance lingering in the mouth, which cannot be dispersed for a long time, and the taste is very beautiful. After sipping the wine at night. breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, it's been a long time, and after drinking so many glasses of wine, only this one I think has the most taste." ”

"Oh! I didn't expect you to like to drink too. Otis smiled: "Many people like the aroma of this wine, but they can't bear the bitterness at the beginning, so there are not many people who like this wine." I didn't expect to finally meet one today. ”

Wuye said: "Life is always bitter and sweet, if there is only sweetness and no bitterness, such a life is not interesting." ”

"It is true that you can't get a perfect life, but it's also good to have a complete life. This wine is bitter and then sweet, and although it is extremely unbearable when it is bitter, the sweetness obtained after bitterness is also worth it, and it tastes better than sweet and then bitter, isn't it?"

"That's right. If a person's life always starts with a good beginning and ends with a sloppy ending, it is somewhat discouraged. Wu Ye said and suddenly stared at Otis and said, "What about you, do you think your life will be bitter first and then sweet, or sweet first and then bitter?"

Otis laughed and said, "Why did the wine come to me again?"

"Hey, wine is like life, life is like wine. If we talk about life through wine, what does it matter?"

Otis said: "If it were me, of course I would like to be bitter first and then sweet. With patience and sweat, Zuihou reaps the rewards of hard work is the most beautiful time. ”

"But life is always not experienced according to one's wishes, and sometimes the more I look forward to the result of zuihou, the more I get it, I am often disappointed. ”

"Yes, life is always impermanent. I can only choose the path I want to take and work hard, but I can't dominate the wheel of impermanence. But if I don't get the results I want despite my best efforts, I won't regret it, because I never regret what I've decided. ”

"But what you've decided isn't necessarily the right thing. If you make a mistake, there's nothing wrong with regretting it in time. Wuye tasted another sip of wine and said.

Otis said: "Right or wrong is only for the individual. Right and wrong?"

"Even if you're wrong, you don't want to turn back?"

"Of course I'll turn back if I'm wrong, but right and wrong are not what others say. The important thing is to stick to your beliefs and not be swayed by other people's ideas as long as you feel that they are right. Those who have achieved great things on shijie are always not recognized by others at first, and they will even be ridiculed. However, they insisted on their faith and determination, and were eventually recognized and worshiped by everyone. In fact, many people have faced such a choice, and only by persevering can they succeed and become the truth, while most people have flinched. ”

"Haha, haha. Wuye smiled, but stopped talking, just poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

Otis smiled and asked, "You have asked me so much, what do you think about life?"

Wuye smiled again: "I'm not a person who likes to confide in others, but I agree with you. People must always persevere, and people without faith are the most pitiful, pathetic, and hated people, and such people do nothing, and life is almost like death. But I was surprised that you talked so much to me today. Aren't you worried?"

"Worried, worried about what?" Otis asked with a smile, "With your status, do I need to worry about anything?"

"Who I am?"

Otis said without hesitation: "Of course. Shijie Guard Organization, this identity always makes people care. It's a real honor to meet someone of this capacity. ”

Wuye got up and said, "I've drunk enough wine today, and I've said enough words, I don't want to say any more, because it makes me very uncomfortable." Waiter, pay. ”

"I'll settle the bill, I'll ask you. Otis said.

Wuye looked at him: "You invite me?"

Otis laughed, "Because you don't look like a person who can entertain." ”

"So you want to be friends with me? Do you think we can be friends?"

"Weishenme, can't we? Didn't we have a good chat today? And I like to make friends. ”

"It's a pity that we won't be friends, because I don't like to make friends, especially friends like you. ”

"Tsk, that's a bit hurtful. Have you always been suspicious of me?"

Wuye said: "With your identity and strength, I have to have some doubts. His face changed suddenly, and he said, "The person who killed Ravel is a person with the blood of the Light Dragon, and we will not be friends until we figure this out." ”

Just as the two of them were having a Zuihou conversation, there was a riot in the bar.
