Chapter 378: The Banquet of the Secular One
Gu Hanhan was worried about the golden banquet and David's invitation to be his female companion, so as soon as he returned to school, he tried to contact Su Yu's attendant room on the front line.
Appearing on the opposite side of the communication was the Red Squire, who did not follow Su Yu to the front line, but stayed at the headquarters base on the edge of Pegasus. He greeted Gu Hanhan with a smile, and then said, "What does the young lady command?" Adults are now in the communication blind zone and cannot meet you for the time being. ”
Gu Hanhan knew that Su Yu was still in the communication blind zone, and the energy connection of his secret knowledge was gray and white, so he asked the chief attendant Hong, "Will he come back soon, Mr. Hong?" I received an invitation from Chief Jose asking me to attend your Yustin's golden banquet, so I want to ask if Su Daqian is coming. ”
The red attendant frowned slightly, and quickly stretched out again: "When the preparations for the banquet began in November, Jose told the Lord about it, and the Lord decided to make a special trip to the Lighthouse Star to see Miss at that time. But then the tide of the battle changed, and our forward attack was too fast, too deep into the heart of the Pegasus galaxy, and was ambushed by the indigenous creatures, and fell into the siege-"
"Ambush?!" Gu Hanhan, who had experienced a baptism of war in Dongdan, turned white when he heard these two words, and asked repeatedly, "Su Daqian is on the front line, isn't it? Isn't it dangerous? He will be fine, right? Why have you never sued me!"
"Please don't worry, miss, the enemy has been completely suppressed by our army, this time it is just a counterattack before death, the adult will never be fine" The red attendant comforted Gu Hanhan and said, "Even if there is any case, the adult can leave the battlefield at any time in an emergency." You don't have any news of the adults, and the adults don't show up with you, which means that the adults are safe and sound, and they don't even need your healing for the time being. ”
Saying this, Gu Hanhan was a little relieved, but he was still worried, and couldn't help but complain: "Why is he running so fast? Does he have to go to the front line to fight?
"Yes," the Red Squire explained good-naturedly, "this development of the Pegasus Galaxy is a coalition of several countries, and several fleets on the front line are all in different positions, and the others cannot control it at all, unless the adults themselves are in charge. Moreover, the battlefield is mainly in the blind spot, and if the front-line command center is positioned behind, the communication interference will be too great, the command system will be paralyzed, and the battle will not be able to be fought. ”
Gu Hanhan flattened his mouth and muttered, "I fancy that the second father is comfortable in the lighthouse star!"
The Red Squire didn't hear what he did. "Miss misses the adult, right?" he happily continued to comfort Gu Hanhan and said: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the adult is responsible for the important task of human development and the safety of the millions of expeditionary troops on the front line, if you miss the appointment, there is really no way." However, the war has been going on for three weeks and should be nearing its end. According to the latest news from the front line, the adults have destroyed the 'door' for all Pegasus native creatures near the battlefield to enter and exit the space, cutting off the enemy's return and rescue, and will launch a general attack in the near future to destroy the encirclement network and wipe them all out in one fell swoop. Even if the Golden Banquet is really not in time, this battle will definitely be over before the New Year, and adults will definitely be able to accompany you to celebrate the New Year. Miss, please rest assured, adults miss you in the same way that you miss him, as long as you can separate/body, I will rush to meet you immediately. ”
"Who misses him?!" Gu Hanhan was comforted by the red attendant, his face was hot, if it weren't for the golden banquet David wanted to find her as his girlfriend, she wouldn't have thrown herself into the net and came to Su Daqian!
- But thinking about it, I really don't care about Su Daqian, I have been in love and living together, and I am his attending doctor. Speaking of which, although Su Daqian is cruel and brutal, he is still a half-crippled person who can't even take off his pants, but he is still good to himself, and he also stays on his lips when he beats himself up, and he hasn't really beaten him once. And he also left the secret to himself and proposed to his sister, is it too much for his sister to ignore him for so long?
So Gu Hanhan smiled dryly with a heart that knew his mistakes and changed them: "Can you contact Su Daqian, Mr. Hong? Isn't it a communication blind spot, I thought he couldn't get through the phone at all." ”
"Relying on telegrams to and fro, the front line and the rear base can maintain a weak contact, but the energy consumption is huge, and the delay is even more severe, and the news that the base has received now is seven days ago. "But when this battle is over, communication should be established immediately." The space without interference from indigenous organisms will soon be able to clear space suitable for ultra-long-distance information transmission and establish temporary communication lines. At that time, the young lady will be able to talk to the adults at any time. ”
Gu Hanhan's guilt was instantly healed in his heart, seeing it, it's not that my sister doesn't care about Su Daqian, but if she cares, he can't see it!
"Okay, then when Su Daqian wins this battle, I can communicate with you and inform me," she thought for a moment and added, "Sue Su Daqian I often care about him." ”
Hong is a gentle and kind person, and he is naturally willing to help Gu Hanhan cheat, so the communication ended successfully.
For several days after that, Gu Hanhan kept an eye on the ring. But until the day of the golden banquet, Mr. Hong did not have the message that the battle was over, and Su Yu's personal contact band was always in a gray state.
"So Su Daqian is indeed not coming back?" Thinking so, Gu Hanhan was relieved to get on the ground car that came to pick him up.
Gu Hanhan, who David came to pick up in person, was in a very good mood, and kissed Gu Hanhan as soon as they met and always held her hand, like a little boy who had just fallen in love. This made Gu Hanhan feel uneasy, thinking that David's true feelings were used on himself like using a dog, and the so-called bright moon shining on the ditch was also. If I don't stand up for him tonight, it's a great sin, and I will be damned.
The ground car converted into an airship, and all the way non-stop, first to the official residence of the Duran family in the Acropolis. There is a family ceremony in the Duran family waiting for David to arrive, and Gu Hanhan is accompanied by Gal to try on the dress for tonight's banquet.
The dress had been prepared for a long time, and the style that had been set that day with David in Torini, and a dozen tailors rushed to finish it day and night, when the manservant brought it out and the maids served her to put it on. A long white dress with a full set of energy stone-grade jade jewelry set off Gu Hanhan's earthly and noble appearance. Gu Hanhan couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at himself in the mirror, and said with wide eyes: "David is really good at picking clothes, I almost can't believe that he hasn't been in a relationship and chased a girlfriend before." ”
The family ceremony that David was going to appear for was very short, he only went for about fifteen minutes and came back, but he changed into his dress faster than Gu Hanhan and waited for her outside the locker room. As soon as the door of the locker room opened, Gu Hanhan saw David's silhouette at a glance, immediately covered his mouth, and almost blurted out a sentence of exclamation: "So handsome!"
David wore a black tuxedo today, this was the first time Gu Hanhan had seen David wear pure black clothes, and he didn't wear a shirt with lace, nor did he wear any gorgeous gems and decorations on his body, he only put his own secret on his hand. Leaning back in his chair, he stood casually by the floor-to-ceiling window, his figure almost blending in with the deep night sky, and the secret on his fingers was like a star. This is the first time Gu Hanhan has seen David who is simple and concise to the extreme, throwing away all the glitz and glory attached to the Acropolis, but unexpectedly bursting out with dazzling brilliance, which makes people's hearts pound.
David turned around and said a word to Gu Hanhan. Gu Hanhan didn't hear what David said, in her mind, David's figure coincided infinitely with a familiar back in the depths of her heart, and she was turning to look at him. This kind of beauty was like a heavy blow, slamming into Gu Hanhan and exploding in the depths of her heart. For a short moment, Gu Hanhan's consciousness was blank, and only then did he suddenly realize that he saw his father in David, the man in the portrait.
So, when Gu Hanhan took David's arm and went downstairs, he couldn't help but ask: "You are dressed differently than usual today." ”
"Don't you think it's good-looking?" David misunderstood Gu Hanhan's meaning and explained, "The golden banquet is a secular banquet, and we never inherit any secular titles and titles, nor do we accept any secular positions and titles before entering the WTO, so we don't need any decoration that represents power, which can be regarded as respect for secular rulers." ”
Gu Hanhan looked down at himself: "Then am I a little too dressed?"
"It's okay with you," David smiled, "you haven't broken through the high-level barrier yet, and you're still a lady, so you can dress up nicely, and you don't need to be pretty." ”
A young man with beautiful skin and straight skin was waiting downstairs, dressed in a crimson gown with a ribbon and a shiny medal pinned to his chest. Seeing that David looked a little cramped, the young man subconsciously wanted to salute, but David stopped him with a wave of his hand. David introduced to Gu Hanhan: "This is the Duke of Britta who has just succeeded to the throne of the Duran family, and he will attend the golden banquet with us today. He should be my ......" David's voice paused slightly, and Gal immediately picked it up and told Gu Hanhan, "Your Excellency Duke is the cousin and nephew of your master. ”
Gu Hanhan was surprised, because in her impression, the superpowered nobles had always respected the uncrowned king without any titles. Don't they always regard the title as a symbol of the nouveau riche and the hillbilly, how can the Duran family still have a duke of their own?
After boarding the airship, Gu Hanhan secretly consulted Gal, only to learn that the great nobles of the Acropolis were not unknighted, but that the honor of the "Uncrowned King" only belonged to the high-level superpowers in the family. The Duke of Britta is the title of the ancestor of the Duran family, in addition, the Duran family also has more than a hundred secular titles and titles, most of which come from the secular titles obtained by the family's successive generations of high-level superpowers and even the suzerain, and a small number of them come from marriages. These titles, large and small, are passed down within the Duran family to non-superpowered people or descendants with low superpower level potential based on simple blood relationships.
"The previous Duke of Britta died half a year ago, but due to the proximity of blood and too many disputes in the order of succession, the heir has not been determined. In order to participate in the golden feast, the host personally appoints the heir, which is preceded by the final confirmation of the family ceremony. "This is mainly to prevent any of the sovereigns at the banquet from talking about a topic that the host is embarrassed by, so that the duke can take over the conversation and maintain the dignity of both parties." ”
"So that's ......" Gu Hanhan raised his head and looked at Duke Britta and David who were talking on the other side of the airship. The Duke of Britta was completely a vassal and a junior, and he followed suit, with awe and nervousness. In order to let him relax and be satisfied at the banquet for a while, David deliberately chose a relaxed topic to chat with him all the time.
