"Zero, let's stop here."

Standing in front of the door of the banquet hall, Liao Qi did not go in directly.

He stopped, turned to the maid beside him, and said.

"After that, I'll just find something to eat at the dinner party, and I don't need you to follow me anymore."

"As for Zero, you, hmm..."

Liao Qi stretched out his hand to hold his chin, pretending to think.

"That's right, you can also take advantage of this to go back to your room to change your clothes, or take a shower or something, and treat yourself, after all, you're tired at the end of the day, right?"

"Lord Liao Qi, actually, I..."

After Liao Qi's suggestion, Zero just wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted.

"Heck, sometimes you just work too hard, and it's okay to be lazy once in a while, right? Erin didn't let you stay with me, besides..."

Liao Qi swept his gaze up and down over the maid, and finally said:

"You're not embarrassed to continue to attend the dinner party in this tattered uniform, right?"

"That's... Then follow Lord Liao Qi's instructions. ”

After Liao Qi's words, Zero was indeed entangled.

The maid after that nodded, and accepted Liao Qi's proposal.

"Well, that's right..."

"By the way, since it's all like this, then when I'm done with the meal, I'll go straight to Erin by myself."

"Anyway, don't look at the fact that I've only been here for two days, but I've already done it by knowing the way to the castle."

After saying this, Liao Qi didn't give the maid a chance to reply at all, he waved his hand, and stepped directly into the banquet hall.

Zero, who was left behind, stood alone at the door of the hall a little unresponsively.

The maid looked at Liao Qi's disappearing back, and wanted to catch up and say something several times, but in the end, she still gave up.

She pursed her lips, the expression on her paralyzed face fluctuated a lot, and the next maid clenched her palms and began to move.

But...

The direction of Zero's walk was not to go to herself, that is, to the first floor of the ancient castle under the people's room, as she promised Liao Qi's suggestion.

Instead, it's heading to...

The location is upward, walking up to the third floor of the castle.

...

...

Successfully completed the first step of the plan to open zero, Liao Qi walked in the venue of the dinner at will.

The reason why he did this was not only to give himself a time to be alone, but also to give Zero a chance to leave him.

"So..."

"What would you choose to do at such a rare time?"

"Hope you don't let me down..."

Liao Qi muttered quietly at the bottom of his mouth.

As a group of human beings in the blood clan at the dinner, Liao Qi did not receive it, he imagined it too much.

Except for the occasional vampire who happened to bump into their sight, most of the blood clans didn't even notice Liao Qi.

Well, too...

Although they are blood clans, except for the biggest difference in sucking blood, on the surface, at least other behaviors and appearances are almost the same as humans.

In the venue, you can always see a lot of servants, dragging plates full of desserts and drinks, walking back and forth in the venue, supplementing the consumption at the banquet.

After finding an empty place to sit down, Liao Qi stuffed a few pieces of pastries from the silver plate in front of him into his mouth.

"Huh? It tastes surprisingly good! ”

With a soft and crispy texture, Liao Qi let out some surprises.

In fact, many times, there is no harm without comparison, and I have to say that Liao Qi, who has just returned from the Terran gathering place, does feel that the current scene is a bit ironic.

After all...

In the indigenous human villages on the island, everyone is still afraid and worried about whether they can fill their stomachs with the next meal...

On the side of the blood clan, they have already arrived, and they can research the ingredients for deliciousness.

I don't know...

How many hungry villagers can be saved with the ingredients used to make this pastry?

The gap between the two sides, just thinking about it, is really...

It's kind of desperate.

Shaking his head, Liao Qi tapped the table with his fingers as if he was a little bored.

He can't even take care of himself, but he really has the heart to sigh about these things.

After pulling his attention back and feeling the passage of time, Liao Qi began to frown strangely again.

Well?

Eluna, she...

Isn't it at the dinner party?

It stands to reason that with that girl's delicate mind...

The other blood clans didn't find out, but it was the second young lady, Eluna, but she must have noticed that she was back at the first time.

Plus, I found that Zero wasn't by my side either.

Such a rare opportunity for contact, according to the girl's character, she shouldn't come to find herself...

Just when Liao Qi was still thinking about it in his heart, a sound of footsteps came from behind him.

"Human, we meet again."

Turning his head to look behind him, it wasn't the girl he was waiting for, but...

"Lord William, your face looks much better than the day before yesterday." Liao Qi stood up from his position.

"Well, that's thanks to your prescription."

The younger brother of the head of the blood clan, William, the second-in-command of the ancient castle, nodded at Liao Qi.

As for William, there is another person, who is the young blood clan who opposed Erin before, Crand.

It always feels...

I hadn't seen them in a long time, and I almost forgot about them...

After complaining a little in his heart, Liao Qi straightened his expression and waited quietly for the other party's next words, he didn't think that these two people just came to say hello to him.

Sure enough, William spoke again soon after.

"Come over to Clende and apologize to Liao Qi."

Oh?

In Liao Qi's somewhat unexpected gaze...

I saw the young blood clan beside William, although the expression on his face was still a little reluctant, but in the end, he stood obediently in front of Liao Qi.

"Yes... I'm sorry, human, and I apologize for your reckless behavior the day before yesterday at the summoning ceremony. ”

"Hopefully after that, I'll be able to qualify... We can fight together. ”

Looking at Clend, who bowed his head to himself, Liao Qi quickly replied without mind:

"It's a little thing, it's okay."

"But...

"What do you mean by that, after the number of places in the academy qualifying battle was expanded yesterday, did you also receive the qualification?"

This move of the academy, Erin told him last night, which is why she was sent out of the castle to investigate the intelligence.

Therefore, Liao Qi quickly reacted after Clend's words.

Without waiting for Clende to speak, William, who was next to him, was the first to speak.

"Well, after all, in addition to the eldest lady, Clender is also the most outstanding of the younger generation of our blood clan."

"That's right..."

Liao Qi nodded in understanding.

He also saw that after William's words, the young vampire's face showed a lot of pride and excitement.

"In short, human beings, this is the situation, I hope that everyone is fighting for the blood clan, and you can work together for the honor of the blood clan regardless of past suspicions."

William said and walked up to Liao Qi.

In the end, he seemed to encourage him, and reached out to pat Liao Qi on the shoulder.

"Come on, human, I'm looking forward to your performance."

As he spoke, an extremely hidden red light followed William's palm and submerged into Liao Qi's body.

It's like...

That William did to Erin during the summoning ceremony.

Ooh...

It turned out to be for...

Did this come to me?

"That's really..."

"Thank you, Elder William, for your anticipation of me."

Liao Qi also smiled at the other party, and his tone was mixed with a lot of sincere gratitude.
