Chapter 286: Clown
Hearing Ysera mention her child, General Zode's face changed slightly, and after a moment he replied: "Saphiras's child and my mischievous girl Armenes do have a good relationship, but after all, it is the children's own business, and I, an old fellow, don't usually have the cheekiness to ask about it often."

Although General Zode did not directly answer Isera's question, his meaning was already very clear, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Isera's face. Goron had just taken a few steps at this time, and he just caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart suddenly became curious about the "son of the dragon" Saphiras, who had never met, as we all know, Retuses and Ysera had "given birth" to a son and two daughters, and the eldest daughter Maria was likely to have died in his own hands, and he spent a day and a night in the Dragon Castle, but he did not see any occupants other than Ysera, and the entire Dragon Castle was empty and extremely cold, almost a city without people.
It is easy to explain that the generalissimo Retusus is busy with affairs, but the "young master" and "young lady" who should appear most should have been nowhere to be seen. Especially now that the news of Maria's death has gradually spread, they have not appeared as a younger brother and sister, combined with Ysera's performance at this time, and the strange motive of suddenly recognizing himself as an adopted son, Goron does not need to think carefully to know that there must be some internal problems in this legendary family of the empire's premier and none.
After leaving Golon, Ysera quickly integrated into the drinking party like a fish in the sea, and in her capacity, no matter who she accosted her, she would respond respectfully, but Goron, who had gradually become familiar with human feelings, could see the hypocrisy hidden behind the humility and deference of those people.
Although he is a little curious about what happened to his adoptive mother, Goron will not forget his true mission. The guests attending this reception were clearly noble and were the most likely to receive valuable information. However, Goron's attempt was difficult to achieve. At the moment of separation from his adoptive mother, Ysera, Goron noticed that there were suddenly many more things in the eyes around him, curiosity and appreciation, greed and intoxication, and even murder and hostility.
After all, as the son of a giant demon with the "limit of beauty", it is not surprising that he will have such a charm after being humanized, and he also knows that he has already become the object of competition among some special sexual fetishists, but he can't figure out why someone exudes murderous and hostile intent towards him on such an occasion. Goron even had some doubts if his true identity had been revealed. If that's the case, it's time for him to think about how to get out next.
Surrounded by garden lawns and ornate street buildings, the streets hundreds of meters long and thousands of square meters are brightly lit, the outermost is armed to the teeth but cleverly hidden in the shadows, and several bands are playing cheerful music at the corner of the street. In the center of the square, a tall and handsome bard stands on a high platform and sings a melodious heroic epic. Long tables are lined with a dazzling array of fine food, and hundreds of waiters shuttle back and forth to serve up drinks or serve dishes to guests.
The banquet has officially begun, and the nobles in trivial costumes are endless. In the confusion, Goron could no longer find Ysera. Since the precious sacrificial resources are always in the hands of a few people, it is only judged by the level of the gods seal. There were really a lot of "strong people" who attended this open-air drinking party, and third-order knights and fourth-order overseers abounded. There are even a few fifth-order "war kings". The level of a priesthood like Goron, who had only dissolved the third-order seal, was really inconspicuous here. Although in the eyes of Goron at this time, the seal level was no longer the only criterion for measuring the true combat power of others. With his intuition, Ge Long was able to be sure that only the third-order himself could at least beat more than half of the so-called "powerhouses" of the fourth-order overseer level here, even if he was against those fifth-order war kings at the same time, it was not without a chance of winning. However, Ge Long was not careless because of this, he didn't even dare to use his own otherworldly divine power to help investigate, although the vast majority of the "strong people" here are vases and rice buckets that are stacked with sacrificial resources, but it doesn't mean that there are no real strong people among these nobles, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in the imperial capital, not to mention anything else, just that General Zuode, just like the bottomless abyss of the seven seas, makes Goron instinctively fear and dodge. The empire has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is not the power of Rethusus to stand tall in the face of many enemies.
Goron walked around as if he was careless, but in fact he tried his best to stretch out his ears to listen to the conversation of the people nearby, and when he found that the topic had nothing to do with the troll or ogre, he immediately left, he fully demonstrated the training results of the big boss Cassandra and the chief teacher of the palace, and always maintained an elegant demeanor, occasionally someone came up to talk to him, and Goron could also socialize calmly, not intimate or alienated, neither humble nor arrogant.
Most of the people who took the initiative to talk to Goron were young men and women who were curious or admired him, and they were not really threatening to Golon, and they were polite in their words. Goron also racked his brains, trying to lead the topic in the direction he wanted without a trace. It's a pity that Goron is limited by age and experience, and has no special talent in this area, and language arts and conversation skills are one of the compulsory courses for any nobleman, even if these people don't know Golon's true purpose, they instinctively resist his topic inducement, basically every word he says is nonsense when you think about it carefully, and Goron is helpless about it. But in the same way, those who tried to extract information from Golon's mouth were ultimately fruitless, not because Golon's city government was deep and deliberate to take precautions, but in fact, because no matter how cunning and cunning these people were, they were proficient in the way of speech and clichés, and it was impossible to ask things that even Goron himself did not know, but it made people suspicious, and began to secretly speculate about who the mysterious boy in front of him who became the core of the storm in the imperial capital as soon as he appeared. Even the arguments of snatching the heirs that can't be pulled by the eight poles have surfaced, and there are whispering crowds everywhere at the drinking party, and the focus of those intentional or unintentional peeping eyes is the little ogre who is strolling around the wine party.
"Hmph, it's just a child's play. Why could a clown dressed as a woman appear on such a noble occasion, and were those attendants and guards blind? How could such a disgusting creature be allowed to get in!"
The sudden cold voice was exceptionally clear and high-pitched. In this messy drinking party, most of the people heard it, so everyone shut up one after another. The silence spread rapidly, and for a moment the entire venue was silent. Everyone's eyes were cast on the two people, one was naturally the Goron that the words were referring to, and the other was a beautiful girl with a petite figure and extraordinarily luxurious clothes, her lonely and cold and arrogant temperament made her stand out among many aristocratic girls, even standing beside Golon, her appearance was not much inferior. It's just that the girl's eyes when she looked at Goron were not only full of disdain and disgust, but also a deep trace of envy and jealousy. Maybe that's the real reason for her sudden attack.
"Armenes, you kid is so rude, how dare you say such a thing to our guests!" As the host of this drinking party, General Zuode, the second person in the imperial military, walked over with a cold face and scolded the girl, and the face of Isera, the wife of the imperial marshal standing next to him, was even more cold and ugly, Goron was brought by her personally, although her adoption decision has not been officially announced and Golon's identity has not been confirmed, but this news is no longer a secret. With the speed of rumors and gossip among the nobles, it is believed that even the squire guards here should already know the identity of Goron, and this girl named Amenis humiliated Goron in public, which actually made Ysera even more faced.
Reichsal Rethus' life was shrouded in mystery. Not to mention that he never attended various banquets or appeared in public, and even in the entire empire, except for the direct subordinates of Rethusus, there were very few people who had actually seen this legend of the empire. So much so that every once in a while someone questions whether the Imperial Marshal still exists. Rethusus never interfered in the politics of the Empire, nor did he associate with other aristocratic officials. It is not so much a low profile as a lack of interest in anything other than war. No one but the Emperor could give orders to him, and over time, although the position of the Imperial Marshal remained high and unshakable, his real influence among this group of imperial nobles was very few, just like the founding monarch of the Empire, everyone was full of reverence for him, and no one dared to blaspheme and insult, but there was no need to worry about retaliation and punishment from this former emperor.
Although the wife of Rethusus, Isera, is noble and her true appearance is not trivial, but for some reason, these nobles do not seem to be worried that Ysera will suddenly show her true posture and burn the entire imperial capital to the ground with dragon power and dragon flame. In the eyes of everyone, Mrs. Isera is really no different from an ordinary noblewoman in the imperial capital, and she is also the kind of "disgraced" noblewoman who cannot get the support of the family.
Perhaps because of the instinctive rejection of the inhuman race, coupled with Ysera's bohemian behavior, some of the "inferior", "vulgar", and "stupid" actions in the eyes of the aristocracy are despicable rumors...... Perhaps the psychological superiority and twisted pleasure of daring to insult a high-ranking Elder Dragon, has made Ysera a clown-like presence in aristocratic circles.
Although everyone has long been accustomed to despise and mock this marshal's wife, the seventh-order Jade Dragon Princess, behind their backs, and spread those gossip related to it, whether true or false, but it is rare to dare to make such a provocation and insult in person, after all, Isera is okay, if he accidentally disgraces Retusus, even if the god-like marshal does not mind, his dragoon will not mind the disappearance of one or two noble families forever. There was once a marquise who got carried away for a while, and accidentally violated the taboo of the dragoons and insulted Rethus, as a result, thousands of people in the entire family were forcibly escorted to the front line of the western battlefield of the empire by the dragoons, and finally became the rations of the orc army as cannon fodder. For this incident that shocked the imperial capital, even the high-tempered and irritable Dulongtal the Great pretended to be deaf and dumb. Since then, the nobles of the imperial capital have been particularly cautious in grasping this measure, and their presumptuousness towards Ysera has been curtailed a lot for a while, and the girl's words have made everyone smell the smell of the coming storm again......
The young girl obviously did not care about her father's accusations, and she did not flinch in front of Ysera, and still said in a domineering manner: "Is there something wrong with what I said? Isn't this child a man? Isn't he wearing women's clothes? Isn't it an insult to this drinking party held by our Mourinho family for such a shameful and obscene appearance on such a sacred and noble occasion? )
