Chapter 30: The Purple Taboo
The Purple Blossom Palace is actually a group of palaces composed of more than a dozen palaces. Unlike other palaces of the Protoss, which are mostly made of crystal stone, the palace of the Purple Blossom Palace is made of milky white marble. The name of the Purple Blossom Palace has a lot to do with the Purple Blossom Trees everywhere in the Palace.
The main hall is the tallest and grandest palace in the Purple Blossom Palace. The rectangular hall is surrounded by a colonnade all around, and the column head of the colonnade column is a flower basket carved into the shape of a purple carrot, and under the sunlight, the light and shadow of the colonnade are bright and dark, which reflects the dignified and elegant of the hall more and more.
The banquet for the Protoss to meet the Holy Messenger of Alice is being held in the main hall.
The powerful families of the Raphaels, Michael, Uriel, and Gabriel of the Light Clan, and the Shahril and Lemuel of the Dark Clans have all arrived. The people who participated in the meeting were all figures above the earl level in the Protoss, and they were only the prominent earl families in the various clans who had the opportunity to come.
Facing the entrance of the main hall, there is a row of thrones, which are the seats of the kings of the gods. Below the throne, the rows of seats on the left and right sides of the main hall entrance are the seats of the counts of the various gods. A wide passage in the middle leads from the entrance of the main hall to the throne.
Some of the people of the Protoss who had already arrived were seated, and some were standing in twos and threes on the passage, whispering words.
The king of the Michaels was the Archduke of Litus, and today dozens of prominent counts of the Michaelan tribe have personally visited Alice.
Grand Duke Litus, dressed in a royal blue robe, was not in the main hall, but stood at the door of the main hall.
A silver dragon descended from the sky, and Grand Duke Littles' gaze immediately caught the last woman on the silver dragon's back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile.
The king of the Raphaels was Emperor Eric, and he did not come, but instructed the Marquis of the Raphaels, Archduke Ivan, to come and give gifts on behalf of the Raphaels. Although Alice is the Holy Messenger of the Light Source, Emperor Eric is the most noble person in the Heavenly Kingdom, and it is not necessary to give gifts in person.
After all, Grand Duke Ivan has a special status, and Grand Duke Litus personally greeted him at the door. The two entered the main hall, and the counts saluted them one after another.
Archduke Erica, the queen of the Gabriel tribe, dressed in a long turquoise dress, bright and dazzling, walked into the main hall accompanied by Archduke Reeves, the king of the Lemuel tribe. Behind the two were a group of counts of the Gabriel and Lemuel tribes.
Although there were many people in the hall, no one dared to make a loud noise, just whispered.
"Hahaha." From the door of the main hall came a hearty laughter, and there was a majesty in the laughter, and a magnetic and majestic voice sounded: "Today's Purple Lotus Palace is really lively. There are so many counts of the Protoss, it has been a long time since they got together! ”
Grand Duke Litus smiled: "Before you see him, hear his voice first." King Edward has arrived. ”
I saw a man about fifty years old, with dark purple thick hair, full forehead, a pair of dark green eyes bursting under thick eyebrows, and a hard face line, striding into the main hall.
It was none other than King Edward, the king of the Uriel tribe, who was surrounded by dozens of illustrious earls of the Uriel tribe. King Edward was dressed in a red robe, his figure was tall and burly, and his whole person exuded a powerful and compelling aura.
Although King Edward was not among the seven princes of the Protoss Council, he made great achievements in the Holy War 5,000 years ago, and was deeply valued by Emperor Eric. Today's queen Trebes is the daughter of King Edward. Even the other kings of the gods who were in the Grand Duke did not dare to slack off on King Edward.
Although Tribis's title in the Uriel clan is Marquis, she is the Empress of Heaven and the Grand Duke of the Protoss Council, so her status is naturally more noble than that of King Edward. It's just that Emperor Eric didn't come, and Queen Cuibisi naturally didn't come either.
The water ice butler stood behind the Grand Duke of Litus and said in a low voice, "All the clans have arrived. Do you invite the Holy Messenger of Light Source to sit at the table? ”
Grand Duke Litus nodded and turned to take his seat. Beside him, a Michael count stretched out his hand, and a purple light shot into a string of bells on the edge of the door of the main hall.
The bell gives off a crisp sound.
On the edge of the door of the main hall of the Protoss Palace, a string of bells is hung, and the bells ring, indicating that the most important person is about to take the seat. This string of bells can't be blown by the wind, and it will only sound if it is touched by the divine light of the Protoss.
In the hall, everyone heard the crisp sound of the bell and took their seats.
Before Emperor Eric and Empress Tribiss arrived, in the Purple Blossom Palace, Grand Duke Litus sat in the center of the throne. Grand Duke Ivan sat to the left of Grand Duke Littles, and to the right of Grand Duke Littles an ornate high-backed chair was empty, apparently reserved for Alice.
Next to Grand Duke Ivan are Grand Duke Erica and Grand Duke Reeves.
Next to the ornate high-backed chair were King Edward and Archduke Quirrell.
In front of each person is a rectangular light brown crystal table, filled with colorful food and fruits, as well as delicate tableware such as gold flasks and glasses.
Behind each of the Protoss kings, there are two attendants.
Behind Grand Duke Ivan, there stood Butler Mu Bai and Wen Ying.
Behind the ornate high-backed chair stood Miya and Thea.
Seeing that everyone had already taken their seats, the water ice butler standing behind Grand Duke Litas said in a loud voice: "Please invite Alice, the Holy Messenger of the Light Source, to enter the table." ”
Alice appeared at the entrance of the main hall. She wore a purple long skirt, revealing snow-white shoulders, a swan neck, delicate red lips, a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, smart eyebrows and eyes, and beautiful eyes, which amazed everyone.
Wen Ying stood behind Grand Duke Ivan, looking at such a beautiful Alice, her heart was mixed. In the words of the fungus: "As the lowest-level attendant, it is simply impossible to participate in such a feast." Wen Ying would rather be standing here at the moment than herself.
The counts of the main hall, and even the Grand Dukes and King Edward, looked at Alice in a purple dress, and their faces showed a hint of discoloration, only the Grand Duke of Litus looked calm as water.
Grand Duke Erica looked at Alice as she walked forward, and said with a smile: "Alice's holy messenger is really beautiful. The eyebrows and expressions are somewhat similar to the other person. Ivan, what do you think? ”
Grand Duke Ivan's face was as cold as ice, and he said coldly: "Purple, she is not suitable." ”
Alice was stunned, her body stiffened, and she stopped in the passage, and suddenly felt embarrassed.
Her gaze passed over the face of Grand Duke Litus and rested on the face of Grand Duke Ivan. She knew that Grand Duke Ivan was blind, but he was able to "see" himself through his senses.
She specially sat down in a purple dress, hoping that Grand Duke Ivan could treat her differently. It's not that she doesn't know Grand Duke Ivan's taboo on purple, but she sees that she is somewhat similar to the woman in the magic mirror, so she decides to take a risky move.
Looking at the cold face of Grand Duke Ivan, Alice thought to herself: Could this move be a mistake?
The entire hall was silent.
