On the third day of September, there is a faint sense of tension in the atmosphere in the Borderlands, and with the exception of the Central District, which is as noble as ever, all the smaller forces surrounding it are going to hold a banquet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the surface, it was a dozen kings who got together for a meal and watched the performance, but it was true that in order to select a few kings who were eligible to go to the central district in the early spring of next year.

Xu Zhe, as the hottest new king this year, was also the first to receive an invitation to the banquet.

The organizers are undoubtedly from the Central Region and have absolute prestige, and almost all the kings are proud to be able to participate in this banquet.

Xu Zhe put on the clothes that Shui Di had prepared for himself, hid Shi Cong's special potion, and finally picked two people from Sakura---- Yang Qing and Yu Hong.

Only three people went to attend, because it was specifically stated in the invitation that a king should bring a maximum of two guards.

Shui Di and Shi Cong had to stay behind to take care of Lan Lantern, as well as watch the rebels in the 12th District, so Xu Zhe finally chose two of the fifteen henchmen he was going to cultivate.

"Wait, Your Majesty, you're not going to go like this, are you?" Fang Rong walked out of the room and bumped into Xu Zhe, who was about to leave.

"Nature." Xu Zhe's answer was concise and clear.

"I mean, you're too shabby to be looked down upon." Fang Rong explained.

"What do you mean?"

"Alas...... It's just that I can't go, or you'll be the most luxurious of the banquet, and I warn you, you'd better get more of your own utensils and drinks, which you can't touch anywhere. ”

Fang Rong looked at Xu Zhe listening carefully, his heart was extremely happy, and he took out a huge box from the ring and handed it to Xu Zhe.

"No, this is specially prepared for you, don't let my collaborators be ridiculed and sour."

As a result, the box is actually full of food, the style is extremely exquisite, and there is a set of plain tableware, and the workmanship is not ordinary at first glance.

"It only makes me more visible." Xu Zhe said.

"You don't understand, the Central District just likes people who can attract people's attention." , Fang Rong looked at Xu Zhe's fair face, and said with a smile, "But you are already very attractive, these are just small tricks." ”

"I see." Putting away the box, Xu Zhe walked down the stairs to the castle gate.

There was already a luxurious carriage parked there, yes, not a modern sedan, but a group of snow-white unicorns, pulling a carriage.

I have heard that taming this kind of horse is not only time-consuming and laborious, except for the good looks, there is no superfluous value, and the carriage is as gorgeous as the outside, with a red carpet and gold trim, and a small pot of tea in the middle, and the fragrance of tea turns into smoke and floats in the wind.

"Hey! Be careful not to eat anything! Fang Rong shouted from a distance.

The unicorn screamed, and his buttocks were jerked hard by the groom, and he ran forward.

Xu Zhe sat quietly on the chair, the groom's skills were very good, and there was no shaking in the car, but the tea was too fragrant.

Thinking of what Fang Rong said, Xu Zhe opened the air cover and also signaled Yang Qing and Yu Hong to take precautions, just in case.

"Your Majesty, do you think we can choose it?" Yang Qing is the strong man Xu Zhe saw for the first time, with strong muscles, because he was an instructor in a military region, and he was enthusiastic about righteousness.

"Nature." Xu Zhe said without hesitation.

"Well, we believe in the king." Yu Hong said, he was the last young man to sign among the fifteen, with an ordinary face but bright eyes.

Dada......

The speed of the unicorn is very fast, and soon it came to the block of the twelfth district, and many people with strange abilities saw that the unicorn took the initiative to avoid it, and some even showed horror on their faces, thinking about the power of the three words of the central district.

"Next is the section of the road that is kept secret." The groom's voice came, and suddenly the doors and windows in the car were closed, reinforced with a layer of special materials, completely blocking the sound and light outside.

Syllable! Xu Zhe pressed the lights in the car, emitting a faint light, and the three of them could still distinguish each other's locations, but the situation outside was indeed unknown.

Extreme secrecy indeed!

An hour later, the carriage shook slightly, followed by a sharp forward lean, the doors and windows of the carriage opened, and the blinding light made the three of them reflexively close their eyes.

"Please." The groom said outside the car.

Xu Zhe noticed that his eyes kept looking at the pot of tea, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

Outside the car, there was a cobblestone path, and there were more than a dozen beautiful women standing on both sides, who didn't speak when they saw Xu Zhe's arrival, but just gestured forward, looking like robots.

"Let's go." Xu Zhe said to Yang Qing and Yu Hong.

Walking through the winding path, several men in suits walked forward with instruments, just like the security check of a large-scale event, but everything was in Xu Zhe's space, what could be found.

"Ahh Yang Qing behind him suddenly shouted.

Xu Zhe immediately turned around, only to see that a deep cut had been made in the fingers of his right hand, and large pieces of blood gushed out of his veins.

The instrument of the man in the suit immediately made a dripping sound, and Yang Qing was wearing a metal ring on his hand.

"This is the last thing my wife left me!" Yang Qing shouted, watching the man in the suit take the ring away, he was very anxious.

"It's not a violation." Xu Zhe pressed the hand of the man in the suit and said calmly, the coercion in his eyes made the people around him secretly amazed.

"It's not an illegal item, it's just an ordinary ring." Inside the checkpoint, a man with a goatee said.

The people around him seemed to be very polite to him, and immediately let go of Yang Qing and let the three of them leave.

"You'd better be smart, I don't want a loyal dog." Xu Zhe said in a low voice to Yang Qing behind him, whose body stiffened for a moment, but quickly relaxed.

"This beautiful young lady, I don't know your name yet, can you tell me? By the way, my name is Chill Bird, you can call it Xiao Han. The goatee man blocked Xu Zhe's path and introduced himself with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

"Blades." Xu Zhe replied.

Looking at the distant back, the Arctic Bird narrowed its glowing eyes, looking extremely interested.

Leaving the checkpoint and following the instructions along the way, Xu Zhe and the three of them came to a garden, and in the far part of the garden, there was an open dining room, the style was very retro, the vermilion perch accompanied the curved roof beam, and the complex hollow pattern became a natural window.

A few girls with plates were setting up the table, and it was clear that it was the home of tonight.

However, to reach the banquet table, you have to walk through the garden, where the chirping of birds comes and goes, not ordinary birds, all of them are ghoul birds.

Xu Zhe frowned, only corpses in the garden would attract this bird.

At this time, there were three more people behind him, it was the king of the eleventh district, a fat and short fat man, his name was Ge Tao, and Xu Zhe had done a grain trade with him before.

"Hello, Blade." When Ge Tao saw Xu Zhe, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Alas...... It's getting harder and harder every year, last year it was only one squire who died, and this year so many birds seem to have to die two. ”

"What?" Xu Zhe asked.

"No wonder you don't know, this is the rule of the dinner party, the central district has been raising this kind of bird for a long time, and every time the banquet is used as the cost of eating, we will lose a guard to pass, but I didn't expect so many birds this year, maybe two will die." After Ge Tao finished speaking, he looked at Yang Qing and Yu Hong behind Xu Zhe with a gloating expression.

And put the ability around the necks of the two guards behind him, and let them lead the way into the garden.

Rattle! The ghoul bird screamed as soon as someone came in, followed by a man's scream, and the smell of blood wafted away, Ge Tao trotted all the way, the two guards behind him were gone, he looked at Xu Zhe proudly, as if he was watching a good show.

The dense shrubs in the garden completely blocked Xu Zhe's view, so at this moment, Xu Zhe didn't know what was going on inside.

Yang Qing and Yu Hong behind him had miserable white faces, especially Yang Qing, whose bodies were trembling slightly.

"Don't forget, Ge Tao's guards are only B-level, and you have an S and an A, why should you be afraid?" Xu Zhe's words of course made the two of them feel better.

"Let's go."

The three of them just entered the garden, and at first they could only see the corpse birds running around on the ground, but Xu Zhe deliberately stayed away from those birds, because even if she didn't stay away, those birds would run away on their own, and it would not be good to be found out that she was in a special body.

Suddenly, a slippery touch passed under his feet, and Yang Qing's breathing behind him stopped.

Click!

The air blade and the flame knife cut off the thing at the same time, and Yu Hong immediately supported the frightened Yang Qing and looked at Xu Zhe with a solemn expression.

What died on the ground was a poisonous snake, and it was a species that had never been seen before, and it was extremely fast.

"If you were to die now, wouldn't it be a waste of the seeds I planted ten days ago?" Xu Zhe said suddenly.

Yu Hong immediately raised her head, and after knowing what Xu Zhe meant, the corners of her mouth smiled, yes, Xu Zhe would not let herself die so early, she didn't know that the guards she brought would be substitutes for the dead ghosts.

The ability on his body burst out, covering Yang Qing beside him, while also walking flexibly in the garden, keeping up with Xu Zhe's steps without pulling a step.

Appreciative eyes flowed out of his eyes, Xu Zhe's golden and purple eyes could see the location of each poisonous snake, this small garden, there were actually thousands of them, and the ground was densely packed together.

But there was one thing they feared, and that was the thorny vines in the garden, which gave off a faint fragrance, the most disgusting smell of poisonous snakes.

Xu Zhe stepped on the thorny vine with every step, and easily left the garden with Yang Qing and Yu Hong.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Yang Qing said in a low voice, his face extremely guilty.

Xu Zhe nodded, signaling that he knew that no one was not afraid from the beginning, especially Yang Qing had lived in a place of flesh and blood, and the borderless land was a nightmare for him.

Thankfully, he's tried to accept it.

"Blade, you really love your subordinates." Seeing that Xu Zhe came over for a long time, with guards behind him, Ge Tao said sarcastically.

Isn't it just two lives, isn't it trivial!

Ge Tao's thoughts were also the thoughts of everyone at the table, and in an instant Xu Zhe felt that he was separated.

But it didn't matter, pulling out the chairs, Yang Qing and Yu Hong stood behind them like two door gods.

The table was a huge round table, with a smooth and shiny surface that was spotless, and dozens of delicate dishes were neatly placed on the table, but those dishes were very strange.

None of the dishes on the plate are normal to eat, most of them are some neatly cut fresh organs, although there is no trace of blood, but it will make people lose their appetite when they look at it, who can guarantee that this is not the same kind of organ?

In addition, each king also had a dish of his own in front of him, and the plate was divided according to the region, like Ge Tao's plate with an eleven sign in front of it, and his dish was a pig's head with its ears cut off, and now he seemed to be extremely frightened when he saw this dish.

It's almost all missing animal heads, but it's different in front of five people.

One is the king of the third district, which is also a woman, Xu Zhe is the only two women on the table, her plate is a bundle of clean vegetable stalks, and the plate in the first district is also the same vegetable stalks, but the number is different.

Then there are the fifth and eighth districts, both of which have two unknown eggs on their plates.

And Xu Zhe lifted the lid on the plate, and there was nothing in it.

The dinner table was very quiet, the king who got the animal's head was afraid, the king of the same dish was secretly competing, only Xu Zhe re-covered the plate, not knowing what he was thinking.

Syllable! The chandelier in the hall suddenly lit up, and a figure walked down the stairs with the light on his back.

"Hello everyone! Welcome to the dinner I have prepared for you. The man walked out of the light, and Xu Zhe recognized it at a glance, it was the man with the goatee.

The crackling applause immediately rang out, and Xu Zhe also applauded with everyone.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to be so restrained every time, that's right, this year's banquet has changed, it's not the coward Suzaku you hate, but my cold bird."

As soon as the man's voice stopped, the hall immediately became quiet and eerie.

Xu Zhe's sharp eyes noticed the slight twitching on everyone's face, which was a sign of fear.

"Okay, you guys exchange feelings first, I'll wash my hands and come back soon." Chill Bird said, suddenly thinking of something and turning back, "By the way, the dishes prepared for you this year are all specially made, and the taste is heavier than last year, I believe you will like it." ”

Rumble...... The hall immediately erupted in chatter, mostly in fearful complaints.

Xu Zhe listened carefully, and immediately collected a lot of useful information, and also understood the reason why some people were afraid.

Because every year's dish represents the end of its owner, according to last year's statement, the pig's head on Ge Tao's plate is missing an ear, so he will leave an ear when he leaves, Xu Zhe has noticed that he is constantly touching his ears.

The owners of the vegetarian dishes are the candidates who have been selected to go to the Central District, but before they go, they have to duel with the same dishes.

Thinking of his empty plate, Xu Zhe didn't know what it meant, so he could only wait and see what it was.

"Ahh It was Wan in the first district, and suddenly he screamed, covering his left eye, and next to the eyeless deer head on his plate, there was an extra eyeball.

Polar Bird walked out from behind him, wiped his hands, and said disgustedly, "I hate the guy who claims to be number one the most, what do you think?" ”

No one noticed his movements, and the moment Xu Zhe raised his head, he had already withdrawn his hand, and only saw an afterimage. (To be continued.) )
