926, Night of Legends
Sun Fei's first battle with a young supreme-level opponent finally came to an end.
This is an unexpected and sudden battle, but for Sun Fei, it is also an extremely important battle, I believe that it will not be long before the news of the [Northern Emperor] Alexander's defeat of Dortmund's young supreme Royce spreads, which will form a new shock wave for the entire continent, so the forces and big people will re-examine their evaluation of Sun Fei.
Of course, for Sun Fei, these are not important things.
What really matters is that in the battle with Royce, the sense of crisis in Sun Fei's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and the desire for strength enhancement is becoming more and more obvious, and now in addition to continuing to impact the great consummation of the other four major professions in the dark world, Sun Fei must focus a certain amount of cultivation on the strength improvement of full-level professions, fortunately, I now know that killing those mutated monsters and zombies in the wild can get pure and mysterious free energy, which can increase strength.
Due to the delay in the past period, the [Undead Mania] south of Didi Kaka City has become more and more raging, and the remaining three southern provinces of Alanya are not exaggerated to describe as thousands of miles of scorched earth, and the nascent Alania Empire once organized an army to enter the south to rescue those survivors, but unfortunately it ended up suffering heavy losses.
According to some information provided by the [Letters and Visits Office], in the past period of time, Sun Fei's worst fears have happened - the dark power creatures of the hell system seem to have undergone some kind of evolution, and there are more terrifying and advanced dark creatures appearing, these creatures are not only infinitely powerful, but even have some low-level wisdom, with the strength of a human star warrior, with obvious ranks, strict ranks, and a sense of cooperation.
"If this trend continues, if you evolve a monster at the level of the Hell Demon King, then you really have to play, in fact, the most terrifying thing about the dark creatures of the hell system is not how strong they are, but the terrifying spread and diffusion speed, once this evil really spreads in the Azeroth Continent, even the gods have no power to recover!"
After reading the various information collected by the [Letters and Visits Office], Sun Fei was worried.
"Looks like we have to go as soon as possible...... Fuck, the 'Undead Tide' has been around for so long, and it's spread all over the real continent, why haven't the hypocrites of the Holy See who have always been on the mission of eradicating evil still haven't taken any action?
Sun Fei ordered the army to prepare, and set off for southern Alanya at dawn the next day.
The Chambord camp began to be busy.
In the evening, Sun Fei was invited by the young emperor to participate in a celebratory dinner held in the palace, before the dinner began, it was naturally indispensable to get along with this named disciple alone for some guidance, considering the lack of masters in the Alania Palace, Sun Fei selected ten Chambord Saint Seiya as the emperor's guards, stayed in the palace, responsible for the emperor's security and the training of the royal guards.
After the banquet officially began, the entire palace was in a state of extreme bustle.
This is the first time that Sun Fei has publicly participated in a gathering of this nature since he came to Didi Kaka City, and it is also the first time that the new nobles and big names in the upper echelons of the new Alanya Empire have been so close to the founder of the new empire, when Sun Fei appeared, the palace hall resounded with warm applause, and the excitement of the people far exceeded the performance of His Majesty the Emperor when he appeared.
Most of the speeches after that were carried out by the emperors and nobles of the empire, and Sun Fei didn't like such an occasion, so he naturally brushed it off.
For a whole hour, Sun Fei became the star of the banquet without dispute, and there was never a shortage of nobles, noblewomen and girls around him who came forward to talk to him.
The men hope that they can talk to the 'Father of the Nation' even a word, and from then on they can have a proud conversation for the rest of their lives, while the women are flirtatious and hope to be looked at by Sun Fei, if some wonderful stories can happen, it will be perfect.
In the luxuriously decorated hall, the crowd is staggered, the voices are boiling, wherever Sun Fei goes, a large number of people will chase after him, and the stars are like the moon, which is extremely popular.
This was definitely the largest banquet since the founding of the Alania Empire.
At the same time, in addition to the main hall of the palace hall, the steps and squares outside the main hall were also full of banquets, and all the people in the city who were of status and status wanted to participate in the banquet in every possible way, even if it was from a distance, it was enough to make them proud.
Outside the main hall, a row of wine banquets in the back of the order, is the seat of some people with no status, here sit a few flowery girls, wearing bright and gorgeous skirts, heavy makeup, showing their most beautiful side, hoping to win someone's attention.
"Alas, I really envy those noble ladies, how good it would be if we could enter the main hall, to be able to see the human emperor, with my youthful beauty, maybe I can make the human emperor fall for me!"
A slightly chubby girl, with cocoa freckles on her face, with big bright eyes and a little powder, looked a little peculiar among a group of women with heavy makeup, she took advantage of her chin, her eyes were red stars, and she looked at the noisy and lively hall from afar, full of envy.
It's just a naïve girl's dream.
However, it attracted vicious ridicule from some of the glamorous women around him.
"Haha, it's up to you, forget it, Jenny, the daughter of a little grain merchant, it is already a great honor to be able to enter the palace and sit in the outer hall, and dare to enter the main hall, it is really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, haha!"
"Even if you want to be a nobleman, you don't know it!"
"Some lowly miscellaneous people, thinking that after the empire is newly built, their opportunity will come, trying to turn over, how can they know that trash fish are trash fish, and if they want to make a little trick to become a noble, it is simply a dream!"
This group of vicious-mouthed women are some old nobles from the previous dynasty.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, in addition to promoting a large number of confidants and cronies, some of the widows who had no obvious bad deeds have been treated fairly well for the time being.
And this is called Jenny, but the fat girl who is still innocent is a representative of the emerging forces, her father is a grain merchant, suffered less from the impact of the undead frenzy, preserved a certain amount of power, and quite discerning, after the recovery of the northern territory of Alanya, he spent a lot of effort and cooperation with the Soros Chamber of Commerce, hoarded a lot of food, due to the influence of the undead frenzy, the food in Alania was contaminated, basically out of harvest, and the price of food rose sharply, so it became the object of attraction from all parties, and its status also improved.
However, at a banquet like tonight, although he was born as a commoner, although he was invited to enter the palace, he was not qualified to enter the main hall of the palace, so he could only attend, looking at the noisy and prosperous circle of power from afar, full of envy.
In this world, the importance of bloodline level is absolutely strict.
At this time, Jenny's father, Lewis, was also sitting next to his daughter.
This is a middle-aged man who is also slightly chubby, with a white face and beard, with a humble smile typical of a businessman on his face, deaf to the vicious ridicule floating in his ears, sitting like a mountain, but the pair of small eyes that are slightly squinted, but from time to time a ray of essence flashes, showing the shrewdness of this middle-aged fat man.
As a battle-hardened, well-versed businessman who is good at hiding his joys and sorrows, and who has risen from the bottom of society, Lewis does not care about the ridicule of these ignorant women around him, and in his opinion, this group of ignorant fellows is destined to be eliminated by the times, and has nothing to gain except self-pity.
Lewis's goal is to be able to enter the power center of the new empire, he does not want to become an official, but at least he has to become an official businessman, only in this way, can he survive on this law of the jungle, cold continent.
It's a pity that due to his humble background, he has hit a lot of nails these days, and he has suffered a lot of cynicism.
At tonight's banquet, he originally hoped to gain something and be able to break into the aristocratic circle, so he prepared a lot, spent a lot of money, and entrusted a lot of relationships to get a banquet invitation, but it backfired, and the big shots who were full of smiles when they took the benefits, and promised to introduce themselves to the main hall and the big shots of the [Northern Regions Human Emperor] at first sight, at this time the banquet was close to hygiene, but none of them showed up, and it seemed that there was no hope.
Sighing in disappointment, Lewis looked at his daughter and wife, who were embarrassed and angry at the taunts of the old ladies, and finally lost interest in staying here, and was about to get up and leave early, when there was an unusual commotion in the direction of the main hall in the distance.
Immediately after that, the outer seats near the main hall cheered and applauded, and everyone stood up.
"Ah, it's the Human Emperor, and His Majesty Leo, they're out. Someone with sharp eyes saw something, and immediately screamed in surprise.
Lewis looked up, and sure enough, on the steps of the main hall in the distance, a group of imperial magnates who were usually above the top and could not be reached, with humble smiles on their faces, and the stars and moons surrounded two figures coming out of the main hall.
One of them has a golden crown in a royal robe, a childish complexion, and a slight majesty, it is the young Alania Emperor Leo the Great, while the other is tall and straight, dressed in a white robe as pure as snow, black hair like a waterfall, and a handsome face with a kind smile.
Rao is Lewis City Mansion is extremely deep, and his joy and anger have always been invisible, but at this moment, seeing that god-like legendary man, he couldn't help but boil his blood, his heart beat violently, and a look of fanatical worship involuntarily appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect to be able to catch a glimpse of the [Northern Regions Human Emperor] tonight, although it is a glimpse from afar, it is enough to comfort my life, haha, it's really exciting!"
At this moment, the treacherous grain merchant Lewis suddenly lost his previous resentment, just a glance from a distance, he felt that the money and gifts he had scattered were worth spent.
His Majesty the Emperor said something next, although there was a magic megaphone transmission, but Lewis, who was in excitement, didn't even listen to a word, just when he thought that this dreamlike moment would end like this, suddenly someone next to him gently stabbed him.
Lewis turned his head a little angrily to see his daughter Jenny motioning for him to look to the side, and looked in the direction Jenny had indicated, only to see a smiling young man looking at him.
"You're ......" Lewis realized he didn't know the other person.
"Excuse me, my majesty invited your family to come over. The young man's expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
Lewis frowned, he didn't seem to know any big man, and couldn't help but subconsciously ask, "Your Majesty?"
"His Majesty Alexander King of Chambord. The answers given by the young people were shocking.
"What? How is this possible?"
At this moment, not only Lewis, but Jenny mother and daughter and everyone around them who noticed this scene were shocked, and exclaimed in disbelief, they could not have imagined that such a thing would happen, His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Regions, who was high up and like a god, would take the initiative to invite a low-born grain merchant......? Not kidding, right?
Lewis was the first to wake up from the shock.
He quickly recalled in his mind when he had a collection with the most honorable person in Alania, and cautiously confirmed to the young man, "This ...... Are you sure His Majesty the Father of the Nation is summoning my family?
Everyone around him thought almost the same as Lewis, convinced that there was some kind of misunderstanding.
The old nobles couldn't wait to shout, 'It must have been a mistake', 'He's just a low-blooded grain merchant', 'Young man, he must have been mistaken, it's me who is looking for the Father of the Nation', 'Damn, what qualifications does this despicable grain merchant have to meet His Majesty', 'Oh oh, what happened, His Majesty the Father of the Nation actually met Lewis, the fat pig, it's not true'...... and so on, and suddenly there was an uproar.
The young man, who had always been extremely gentle, turned his head and glanced at the noisy crowd around him, and a cold and piercing breath suddenly made all the noisy old nobles shut up instantly, at this moment, he was no longer the gentle and polite young man who was neither humble nor arrogant before, as if he had become a ruthless killer, looking down on the living beings indifferently and ruthlessly, and no one felt to look at him.
Now, no one dares to doubt the young man's words.
Obviously, this guy, who is only about twenty years old, is an absolute martial arts master.
As soon as he turned his head and looked at Lewis, the expression on the young man's face became gentle again, and he smiled: "Your Excellency, please!"
Lewis's family, with apprehension, parted the crowd under the incomprehensible and envious gazes of the people around them, and under the leadership of the young man, walked towards the circle that represented the core power of the empire in the distance.
Everywhere they passed, there was a commotion from the crowd and they took the initiative to get out of the way.
In the blink of an eye, I came to the bottom of the steps of the main hall.
Lewis can be regarded as a person who has seen the wind and waves, and when he walked here, he no longer dared to go forward, and fell to the ground with his wife and daughter, and did not dare to raise his head, shouting long live: "Meet the noble and merciful Emperor, and meet the noble and benevolent Father of the Nation." ”
"Get up. The gentle voice of the young emperor came to his ears.
Lewis dared to get up slowly, only to feel a burst of dizziness, all in front of him were high-ranking big people, who usually asked for a glimpse but couldn't get it, but at this time they all looked at themselves with a smile...... It's not a dream, is it? And Jenny's mother and daughter beside him are even more unbearable, they just feel suffocated, their legs are weak, and they can't stand up.
"You three don't need to be long, it was the father of the nation who invited you to come, come up and stand by my side," Leo, a young man with a golden crown, already had the majesty of the emperor of a country at this time, revealing the luxury of the high in his gestures, beckoning, and motioning for Lewis and the three to go up the steps and stand beside him and Sun Fei.
That's a great honor.
When everyone around them heard this, their faces showed different colors, and they didn't know what kind of trouble this was, why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly treated this little grain merchant with humble blood so kindly, and actually allowed him to stand on the steps, which is a position that even some upstarts in the empire can't turn to.
Lewis himself was about to faint with fright, and he didn't know what would happen, so he trembled and his wife and children helped him to the top of the steps, stood beside the emperor, and squeezed out a smile, but it was more ugly than crying, not that he was not excited, but it all came too suddenly, and he didn't know why this happened, so the violent apprehension in his heart was replaced.
"When I was chatting before, I heard the father of the nation say that in Didi Kaka City, there is a grain merchant named Morrow Lewis, who is noble, benevolent, loyal to the monarch and the country, and anxious for the national disaster, these days I will give rice porridge to those homeless refugees on time every day, and saved countless of my people, the father of the country is full of praise, and I am also very happy after hearing about it, it is rare that you have this heart, isn't it an example of the Alanya merchant!"
The young emperor's words made everyone suddenly realize.
Lewis himself gradually understood that this was what was going on.
In fact, when it comes to this matter, it is not that he himself wants to do it, but the kind-hearted and pure little daughter Jenny can't stand that some of the refugees are starving to death every day, so she quietly takes a small amount of grain from the granary every day, opens a few porridge shacks in the slums, and boils some gruel to give alms, Lewis later knew, but he didn't stop it, although of course he feels sorry for those grains, you must know that in Didi Kaka City and even the entire Alanya Empire, a small bag of grain is worth a piece of gold, but after all, this middle-aged little businessman still has a little conscience, plus he loves his little daughter Jenny, and he can't control it a few times, had to let it go, who would have thought that such an unintentional act of kindness would fall into the ears of Alexander, the father of the nation, and this is the honor at this moment.
Figuring out why, Lewis was both excited and ashamed.
Seeing Lewis's appearance, Sun Fei was amused in his heart, and also said: "Yes, this matter is what this king has seen with his own eyes, now the disaster of the dead is raging on the earth, the crops have failed for several years, the food shortage in various places continues, and there is hunger on the road, in the long run, it will definitely lead to chaos in the empire, if there can be a few conscientious businessmen like you, there Your Majesty will not have to worry!"
This sentence characterizes Lewis's behavior.
These days, I don't know how many people try their best to get a good evaluation of the [Father of the Nation] Alexander, even those generals and upstarts who hold military power, they are also rushing to tie up with the Father of the Nation, but they are not allowed to enter, Lewis did not expect that he was only moved by compassion for a while, and Sun Fei looked at him and made such an evaluation.
There is no doubt that with the phrase 'Father of the Nation', the fate of the grain merchant Lewis can be said to have risen from now on, and there has been a place for Lewis in the Alanya Empire, not even the Alanya Empire, but among the rising Zenit Empire, this lucky man called Lewis can also go sideways from now on.
The nouveau riche of the empire up and down the stairs showed expressions of laughter and tears on their faces after learning about the cause and effect.
Thinking about this period of time, they, the big and small characters in Didi Kaka City, in order to be able to get a praise from the [Northern Regions Human Emperor], I don't know how much effort they have spent, how much money they have spent, how much time they have waited, but they have not been able to achieve their goals, who would have thought that this little grain merchant would easily get everything just because he gave a little rice porridge to those lowly refugees?
This is really a creation artifact, fate makes people, and there is no way to force it.
Lewis finally came to his senses, and hurriedly humbled himself for a while, and the apprehension in his heart dissipated in an instant, and he could barely suppress the ecstasy in his heart, lest he suffer the jealousy of the other nobles.
At the same time, Xiao Jenny, who was standing behind her father Fu Fat's body, was also very excited at this time, and the girl dared to raise her head until now to secretly look at His Majesty the Great Emperor and the even greater 'Father of the Nation', at this moment, seeing Sun Fei's face, Little Jenny was stunned.
Because the girl recognized this handsome and extraordinary young man, wasn't it the strange boy she had met four days ago when she was giving rice porridge in the slums?
"Unexpectedly...... It turned out that he was the Emperor of the People, and he had actually been to the slums and talked to himself for so long...... No wonder he asked so many about the situation of the poor and refugees in the city that day, and also asked about his parents and family, it turns out that the Emperor is not by our side all the time, and he cares about the civilians of Alanya all the time!"
The experiences of that day kept resurfacing, and they were deeply imprinted in the heart of this chubby girl with freckles on her face.
When Jenny looked up for the second time, she saw that the honorable 'Father of the Nation' was actually looking at her, and she was immediately startled, and quickly lowered her head, but at the moment of bowing her head, she saw that the honorable 'Father of the Nation' was smiling at her.
"Why, I don't know an old friend, I drank a bowl of porridge from you that day!" Sun Fei intended to help this kind-hearted little girl, took the initiative to speak, beckoning and smiling.
That day, I was busy and took the stupid big soldier Husky to the slums in the city for a walk, and saw that the poor people at the bottom did not change their tragic fate because of the new construction of the empire, hunger and cold, and felt something in my heart, but on the way back, I met this little girl who brought someone to give rice porridge, I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart, and I went over to chat for a while, and then sent someone to investigate, knowing the cause and effect, and had a great impression of this kind little girl, it happened that Sun Fei was also thinking about solving the problem of food shortage in Alanya in those days, which is what happened today。
Sun Fei's words shocked everyone around him, and he immediately looked at Jenny with envy.
Jenny's mind was blank, and she didn't know how she got to Sun Fei's side at all, until someone asked her several times, and then she came back to her senses, completely unaware of what Sun Fei said just now.
Sun Fei saw that his new friend was too nervous, so he didn't say much, thought about it, took out a small ornament from the storage ring and handed it to the girl, and said: "Okay, little guy, don't be stunned, you and I are destined, this bow hairpin will be given to you, it is a token, if you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved in the future, come to me with this bow, I will definitely make a shot for you." ”
The girl who faced such a big scene for the first time had lost her ability to think, and took the bow hairpin in a daze, put it away, and even forgot to thank her.
The aristocrats and nobles around him who watched this scene were full of envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to eat this poor little girl, oh my God, what a good life this is, in order to get the blessing promise of the [Northern Regions Human Emperor], from now on, this little guy who has no martial arts cultivation will dare to say anything when he walks sideways in the Northern Regions.
Even the 'registered disciple' on the side, the young Emperor Leo the Great, was a little envious of this ordinary little girl, and he had never received such a promise from Sun Fei.
Jenny's parents were even more ecstatic, Lewis knew that he had been pursuing the status and business channels he had been striving for these days, because of this sentence, it was completely solved, it was unimaginable that his stupid little daughter had such a good opportunity to be able to get the favor of the [Emperor of the Northern Regions], this little girl is really her own lucky star!
With the voice of His Majesty the Emperor in his ears, Lewis got everything he dreamed of, he became a partner of the imperial family, became the largest grain merchant in the empire, and more importantly, got the title of nobility, became a third-class hereditary nobleman, and even little Jenny also got the title of nobility.
On this night, the birth of Little Jenny's family undoubtedly brought the entire banquet to an ending that no one could predict, and even had a profound impact on the fate of the entire Alanya Empire.
The story of this night, which was passed down by word of mouth among the people who attended the banquet, eventually became an enduring legend in the mouths of the bards, and a legend that countless people knew and longed for.
Many years later, Lewis, who became the largest grain merchant and philanthropist in the Northern Regions, ended the food shortage of the Alanya Empire and the only partner of the Soros Chamber of Commerce, every time he recalls that night, he can't help but feel a burst of excitement, and it is the support of this business giant that makes the Alanya royal family stand tall despite many shocks.
Of course, the other protagonist of this legendary story, Jeanne, a little girl with ordinary appearance, fat body and freckles on her face, also has a new legend of her own - she finally married Leo the Great, the Zhongxing Emperor of the Alania Empire, as the only woman in the life of Leo the Great, she became the most popular empress in the history of the empire, she truly interpreted the meaning of nobility with her kindness and nobility, and was kindly called "the freckle queen with a crystal heart" by countless people.
That's another story.
......
The day after the feast, Chambord's army marched and continued its march south.
Along with the New Alania Empire's vengeance, sword, and bloodtooth legions of about 120,000 men.
Facing them is the evolved [Undead Tide], and the mysterious power behind all this hidden manipulators, of course, there is also the legendary [God Prophet], the prince of Dortmund with the ability to calculate ghosts and gods, and another young self-respecting Gotze.
