banquet
Shadow walked over to her place, and one of the guards pulled out a chair for her. As a veteran foodie, she noticed the fold in front of her at a glance.
Ten appetizers, also known as dried dishes in the beast world.
To be exact, there are ten appetizers in front of everyone, and. Everyone's different.
Ying Meng took a look and found that they were all his favorite dishes, maybe they were specially matched.
To be honest, is there a dish in the world that Yingmeng doesn't like to eat?
I have to say that Shadow Dream's defensive heart is always so bad when facing food.
Soon everyone sat down, but the lord of the castle still stood.
He gestured, and a group of armed guards surrounded the group. A ghostly glint flashed in Shadow Dream's eyes, and she checked that every entrance was guarded.
An uncomfortable silence overshadowed the crowd.
Kagemu looked at the city lord. The corners of his mouth trembled, his eyes were fiery, he was angry, today was his birthday. Why are you angry?
"Some people are questioning me. Why do you want to change the customs of the past?" said the lord of the city. "This is my way of telling you that many things are going to change. ”
An awkward silence spread across the table.
Kagemu closed her eyes. This city lord was newly installed by the Immortal Realm. Now the situation is very chaotic, and I don't know whether he is in the Southern Immortal Realm or the Northern Immortal Realm. Here, many people hate the fairy world. I don't know how many people he offended with such a sentence.
The leader of the group raised his wine cup, and the glass cup reflected a dazzling light in the light. "As the ruler of this territory. I toast you. ”
Everyone raised their own wine exhibition, and countless scrutinizing eyes focused on the face of the city lord. For a moment, the light reflected all around, and a shadow swept across the city lord's cheeks. Drain your own wine in one gulp.
"I'm here, I'm going to stay here. The city lord solemnly announced. Everyone drank their own wine. questioning, ridiculing, watching the show, everyone has a ghost in their hearts, but they all agree with what the group leader said.
Waiting for the women to enter with a dish of vegetables and fish, there are eight treasures of wild duck, bergamot golden rolls, dry and blessed sea cucumbers, the four seasons are like spring...... The delicacies of the mountains and the sea are fragrant and have an endless aftertaste.
Soon, all kinds of delicious dishes were served, but the lord of the castle still stood.
Kagemu looked at the delicious dishes in front of her. Out of courtesy, she can't eat it now, because the city lord hasn't started yet.
Everyone was talking, making eye contact, sweeping the dishes in front of them, sweeping the surrounding guards, and sweeping the city lord who was standing.
The lord of the city swept through the crowd. "It's a special time and I know there's a lot of people coming here. Therefore, I have prepared a variety of delicacies that I hope you will enjoy. After all, this will be the Last Supper for some. ”
Xianqing, who was sitting at the corner of the table, glanced at it, sat in the front, looked at the dishes in front of him with a longing face, and lowered his eyes. The child's vigilance disappeared when he saw the food. Did he teach him that way?
Observe the people sitting around you. A fat face. His face was pale, and his skin was like a dry branch. This person should be the lord of Han Cheng. A man with a scar on his face and blue eyes......
Xianqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and the temperament on this person was a little strange. There is no such person on Shadow Dream's information, which proves that this person should not have an invitation letter, so who brought him in?
The crowd sat in an eerie silence.
The lord lifted his cup again and threw it to the ground. Everyone was instantly vigilant. As soon as the lord of Hancheng wanted to stand up, he was pressed back to his seat by the guards behind him with a knife on his neck.
The lord's wife immediately learned from the lord to smash the cup to the ground.
The air condensed for a while, and everyone quickly planted and did so.
Every time something is discussed in the beast world, a wine cup will be placed in front of him, symbolizing the distance between etiquette and people. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a mask.
Another custom has been changed.
"Let the dinner begin. The lord took his seat and began to enjoy the meal. Many people are staring at the food in front of them, not knowing what they are thinking.
Shadow Dream doesn't care about the shock, suspicion, and admiration on the faces of the people around him. The moment the city lord started eating, she also began to eat, what are you afraid of, if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost, isn't it?
Xianqing carefully observed the behavior of the city lord, and because it was too far away, he couldn't see the calm expression clearly. However, he sensed the anger of the city lord, but this anger should be hiding something.
Xian Qing carefully recalled every movement of the city lord, and after a pause of analysis, he found that there was an air of despair in every action.
Despair. His anger is supposed to hide his despair. Why despair?
It was awkward at first, but soon the atmosphere returned to normal. Everyone also began to eat the food in front of them, but they ate very slowly, to be precise, they ate the food in front of them under the coercion of the guards behind them.
"Two more servings of that soup, it's delicious. Under the baptism of everyone's gaze, Shadow Dream, who had already piled up five plates next to him, called the guard with the knife around his neck without fear.
It's not a loss, it's nameless, this psychological quality is really strong. In such a dangerous situation, you can still eat and drink, and you don't seem to feel the danger at all. Is this nameless really stupid, or is it hidden too deeply?
Everyone didn't believe it at all, so they were really indifferent. No normal person can stay calm when something like this happens, unless ......
Everyone analyzes the behavior of Shadow Dream in their hearts. Maybe only Xianqing knows that this kid has really forgotten everything.
The city lord's sharp gaze fell on Shadow Dream, but Shadow Dream ignored it in the slightest.
"I heard that Nameless, you have enclosed another piece of land. ”
Shadow Meng burped, and she felt like she had almost eaten. Reason returned, cheered up and called another game. Then he looked at the lord of the city with a tentative look.
"The news spread pretty quickly, but they were wrong. This land is not owned by me, but I bought it with money and integrity. ”
"It's not easy to get to this point at such a young age. An old man next to him, dressed in black, who almost didn't have the four big words "I am a villain" written on his face, smiled and said. "You can spend money to buy land, and this means is not low. ”
"In general, it is impossible. The lord responded.
Shadow Dream stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, her eyes blinked, and she asked meaningfully. "Has anyone seen my salt?"
The old man smiled grimly. "Sometimes, our eyes are always on the ground looking for what we have lost, but we don't know that there is always someone behind us who has a knife to our neck. ”
When the city lord heard this, his face turned cold, and a heavy murderous aura attacked the old man. Shadow Dream played a round. "Yes, but they carry knives, sometimes to protect us. Ha, thank you. When you see that there is none, what you are looking for is in the hands of the person with the knife. ”
The old man touched his crutches and handed his plate to the guard who brought the salt. In the process, something smashed into Shadow Dream's leg, and Shadow Dream didn't say anything, quietly putting it into her cuff.
"You make so much sense. The old man is not as old as you can see. The old man said. "Lord of the City, the controller of change, do you want to challenge it?"
The lord took a sip of water, the old thing was reminding him of his position. "There are some things that can't be talked about at this table. The city lord's eyes sank, this nameless, either there was someone behind him, or he was hiding too deeply.
The old man smiled and turned his attention back to the food.
Xianqing sat upright, quietly listening to the conversations of the people around her.
I think back to the lessons I had in the Ghost Talent Training Camp. Temptation and counter-temptation. There is no difference between the nature of temptation and the division of students. Each subject has a unique pattern, just as every student has a different level. This pattern can be analyzed and predicted.
Each person has a unique way of speaking, and this way is influenced by the environment in which it grows up. For example, some people speak with that place, a unique accent. Some people speak, the placement of their sentences, the subject's predicate, revealing their identity.
Xianqing was now sitting at the table, listening to the conversation between the Lord of Han Cheng and the blue-eyed boy. Xianqing felt a chill behind her. From the information they had had had, it was concluded that the blue-eyed boy had been brought in by the Lord of Han City. And the blue-eyed boy is a person from the ghost training camp. The way he spoke was like a subtle mask, but the way he used words removed his mask and openly declared his identity.
If he remembered correctly, Han Cheng seemed to be the territory of the Northern Immortal Realm. So does this mean that the Lord of the Southern City has changed his position, or is it an ordinary person who doesn't know anything?
The blue-eyed boy swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of wine, and then whispered a few words to the Lord of Han City with a smile, and glanced back at Xian Qing meaningfully. He got up and left the ballroom. It's ridiculous, no one even noticed.
can act openly under the noses of others, and no one notices that this person's cultivation and concealment skills are good.
