Chapter 44: A Man's King

【Thunder Island, Thunder God City, Thunder Temple, Tirefate Auditorium】

"Your Highness Princess, welcome to the Temple of Thor, this is the Tirefate Auditorium. Xiu's voice came from the depths of the palace, and Haiyun looked ahead, knowing that Xiu was in front of him.

Haiyun crossed the threshold in front of the door, and the sight in front of him was not very good, and the visibility was relatively low. In the huge palace, there was an echo of Xiu, and only a few faint candles on the surrounding walls illuminated the main hall.

This hall was very empty, and Xiu's words seemed to be magnified. Still, there is no echo, probably because of the exquisite design of the auditorium.

"Can you turn the lights on? It's dark in here, I can't see you. Haiyun said. Her voice was also amplified.

"No problem. Xiu snapped his fingers, and the entire dark auditorium suddenly lit up.

Haiyun finally got a full view of the Trifis Auditorium, surrounded by strong stones made of antique stone, which were probably thicker than the walls of the two tall towers in the path of the Twin Towers.

The walls are inlaid with hollowed-out glass, from top to bottom, the average height of the entire auditorium is about ten meters, and the windows around it are also nine meters high, from one meter to less than half a meter from the beams, each glass is nine meters high, three meters wide, and hundreds of glasses surround the hall.

The whole hall was illuminated by moonlight and starlight, and large candles hung on the walls of the glass and glass. The whole hall gives a retro feel.

Directly in front of the main hall is not a high platform, but a fireplace, and behind the fireplace is a chimney more than ten meters long. The chimney is made of inky crystal, which is scarce but easy to clean, and with a slight flush of water, the dust on it will be washed clean.

"This is the Imperial Palace?" Haiyun looked around, "Why isn't there a throne?"

Haiyun was right, she looked around, and there were only more than a hundred ivory-colored pillars standing in the main hall. There are many murals on the walls, all of which are in the same style as those on the corridor in the palace where Haiyun lived before.

The palace is surrounded by a number of delicate green bonsai, each at the same distance from each other, these bonsai are all alive, and it is clear that they have been carefully manicured, just like the lawns before them.

On the central axis of the Temple of Thunder is a long red carpet with ornate patterns and a variety of animals that the sea clouds do not recognize.

On either side of the carpet are hundreds of chairs, all of which are made of wood of good color. And directly in front of these chairs, there is not a high throne.

In front of the chimney of the central axis, there is a position, and Haiyun must be where the king of the thunder country sits. At this time, Xiu was sitting on it.

There was a long dining table between Haiyun and Xiu, and it was a full thirty meters long from the end near Haiyun to Xiu's position. An ice-blue spirit array opened at Haiyun's feet, and True Transformation was activated, and he immediately came to the opposite side of Xiu. When he looked closer, Haiyun realized that the dining table was three meters wide. The table was covered with a yellow-white cloth that hung on either side of the table but was not dragged to the floor. In the center of the table was a long row of flowers, red roses, white tulips, and all sorts of flowers that the sea clouds didn't recognize.

There are only two seats at this table, one is for Xiu to sit and the other is for Haiyun to sit.

Seeing Haiyun coming, Xiu hurriedly stood up and smiled at her: "There is a king on Thunder Island, but there is no palace. This is the Thunder Temple's Tirefate Auditorium, and the place where I sit is the seat of the King of Thunder. ”

"So you're the King of Thunder Island?" Haiyun asked with a smile.

"Yes, like the fake King of Thunder. In an instant, Xiu appeared behind Haiyun from this side of the dining table, he pulled out a chair for Haiyun, and said politely: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are a guest on Lei Island, please take a seat!"

Haiyun took the corner of his skirt, saluted slightly, and sat down, "Thank you, dear His Royal Highness!"

"It is an honor for me to have the princess here. Xiu took Haiyun's hand and kissed it gently.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Standing up, with a few quick steps, the three thunderbolt-like figures returned to their positions almost instantly.

"Are you really the King of Thunder Island?" Haiyun asked again, incredulously.

"It's a fake!" replied Xiu.

Haiyun smiled, "The king of Thunder Island is so casual, and he is still dressed like this on such a solemn occasion as the dinner?" Haiyun asked.

It turned out that Xiu did not change into the dress of Thunder Island, and was still wearing the usual combat uniform, a sleeveless dark purple high-necked top, wearing a right shoulder pad, covering his left hand with a black cloth, and wearing a wolf-shaped badge engraved on his left chest, so that the black caftan dragged to his feet would not fall to the ground.

Xiu smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't think about it, I saw you dressed like this as soon as I came in. Haiyun saw that he was not wearing a formal suit, and said casually: "Anyway, I didn't wear a formal suit, so I will forgive you this time." ”

"Thank you very much, it's a little bit of a thought, after all, it's been too long since I've eaten with someone else. Xiu said, "This dinner is prepared according to the highest level dinner in the Thunder Country. So, tonight, you are the most honored guest of the Île de Rei. ”

"Really?" Haiyun raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen anything except this gorgeous table." Since it is said to be eaten, where is the food?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, don't you think this is rude?" Xiu asked with a wicked smile on his face, "As the princess of the Sea Kingdom, you should always pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

Shipping smiled apologetically and said, "I was rude, Your Majesty Claude Fresnel." ”

Xiu pretended to be calm and said: "I repeat, I am not Claude Fresnel, please call me Xiu." ”

Haiyun sneered and laughed, and he couldn't hold back his laughter, looking like he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Your Majesty Xiu Fresnel." ”

Xiu shook his head, looking helpless.

Seeing that Xiu didn't speak, Haiyun pointed to the empty reddish-brown chairs around the dining table and asked, "Who are these places for?"

"One hundred and eight places, for one hundred and eight of the best people on Thunder Island. But now they are gone. There was not the slightest sense of desolation or disappointment in Xiu's words, "I am the king of the Thunder Kingdom and the king of one person. ”

"Isn't there still me? I'm on Ray Island, too. ”

Xiu smiled, "Yes, Your Highness Princess, would you like to stay on Thunder Island for some time?"

"Of course I do. Haiyun said, "Didn't you say you would teach me to be stronger?"

"Looks like you've already made your decision. ”

The smile on Haiyun's face gradually froze, "Everyone has a reason to become stronger, you have it, and I have it too." ”

Xiu stretched out his hand and pinched his golden eyebrows, raised his head and snapped his fingers, and the meal was full of delicious food. Each food is served on small plates, and although the amount is not much, it looks delicate.

"There are one hundred and fifty-six dishes here, all of which are the best on Thunder Island, and if you like them, just use your spirit to get them. We don't have that many rules on Thunder Island, and we don't allow people who eat to use psychics. ”

"In that case, then you're welcome. Haiyun didn't use spiritual magic, but started eating from the plate of cake in front of her, she hadn't tasted food for a long time, she had been depleting her energy reserves, and seeing so many delicacies for a while made it difficult for her to control herself.

"Sure enough, you Sea Clan only need to eat enough, and you don't need to eat for half a year. To be honest, your physique is really suitable for being a good fighter. ”

In the blink of an eye, Haiyun had eaten the plate of yellow cake cleanly, and now he was holding a plate of seven-ripe lamb chops in his hand, "Xiu, don't say these useless, if I guess correctly, this should be mutton!"

"Yes, you sea tribes should rarely eat it!" Xiu patiently tasted the red wine in his glass, gently shaking the red liquid in the glass.

Haiyun cut off the lamb chops and put them on her plate, using the knife and fork in front of her, little by little, into her mouth, although she hadn't eaten for a long time, but as a princess, she should still pay attention to the most basic etiquette, "I'm curious, Xiu, is there no one else on your Thunder Island except you?"

Xiu didn't answer directly, but smiled, put down the goblet in his hand, propped his hands on the dining table, and said, "If there is anyone else, do you see it?"

Hai Hai shook his head and continued to eat the delicious lamb chops, "Can you tell me who raised these sheep? And those neat lawns on the path of the Twin Towers, and the whole city, with its bright street lights, clean streets, neat street trees, and fountains that are still running." Did you do it all alone?"

"It seems that you are very careful in your observations, Thunder Island is indeed a living country, as long as the king does not die, Thunder Island will not die. ”

"You mean, you are Thunder Island, Thunder Island is you?" Haiyun said as he took the next dish from the table and continued to eat.

Xiu shook his head and said, "These questions, you will slowly know later, I don't want to talk too much about them at today's dinner." ”

"It seems that this dinner is really a dinner. Haiyun wiped the food scraps from the corner of his mouth with paper and said, "But I still want to ask you a question." Haiyun raised his head, his ice-blue eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said seriously: "How did you get that fairy tale book?"

"The story of the Winged Prince and the Princess of the Deep?"

"Yes. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. Xiu lowered his head and slowly savored a small plate of salad in front of him.

"Are you Claude or not?"

The atmosphere in the whole hall suddenly fell silent, and in the silent air could only be heard the sound of the breeze blowing by the window and the silk curtains rubbing against each other.

"It's not. Xiu replied.
