Chapter 41: The Bishop's Visit
In the middle of the night, the heart of Stone Crown City is still lit up. In order to celebrate the victory of the war, Yue Wei gave an order and held a grand banquet in the palace. As key figures in the war, Du Qi and others were also invited.
As a newcomer to the force, it quickly won the favor of big names including Princess Fengxing, Duke Liao, Shengyan and so on, and naturally became one of the focuses of the banquet.
However, just as the banquet was coming to an end, a group of uninvited guests dressed in gorgeous white armor entered the main hall. The sound of uniform armor suppressed the lively atmosphere of the banquet, and only the whispers of the nobles remained.
"I've seen His Majesty Yue Wei." The old man in the red robe bowed slightly and saluted, "I heard that the Rocky Kingdom has defeated the monster army, and I will send my blessing on behalf of His Majesty the Pope." ”
Yue Wei frowned slightly, nodded, and replied nonchalantly, "Oh? Then thank His Holiness the Pope for your blessings. What else have you come from afar? ”
"His Majesty the Pope has heard rumours in the Holy Capital that His Majesty is colluding with cultists, and this news is really disturbing for me to wait. His Majesty the Pope is merciful and will not believe the rumors in the market, but those of us who are subordinates must always share His Majesty's worries. The bishop smiled and said, "Your Majesty Yue Wei, you said yes, right?" ”
"What an arrogant tone, are you questioning Your Majesty?" Shengyan was immediately furious, got up and rebuked unceremoniously, "Yanxi, this is the Rocky Kingdom, not your holy capital. As he spoke, he glanced at Dozi again, and the shadow behind him retreated into the shadows without moving.
"Everyone, pay attention to the situation. At the critical moment, Shadow will help us leave. Du Qi nodded, and connected to the lurking outside the palace through the friend system, "Brother Diehou, I'm going to trouble you when the time comes." ”
"Haha, don't worry! If they want to play yin, they can't play us. Diehou replied with a hearty laugh.
"Shengyan-sama's personality is still as interesting as in the past." Yan Xi didn't seem to care about Shengyan's offense, but instead dissipated, "But please remember that our trip is representing the Holy One Alliance. ”
"You don't use the alliance to oppress people, what we're talking about now is your offense to Your Majesty." Shengyan continued to be aggressive, "Led troops to break into His Majesty's power supply in public, even His Majesty the Pope would not want to see his subordinates do such an offensive thing. ”
"Okay Shengyan, sit down! Your Majesty has his own judgment on these things. Yueji finally spoke up to stop the quarrel.
Shengyan didn't contradict his big brother, but he didn't sit down either. Du Qi knew that although Shengyan had been dwelling on the issue of etiquette, he was also showing his support for the players with his actions.
"Shengyan is right, don't mention other things for the time being, but the Holy Knights broke into my banquet like this, isn't it too indifferent to me?" Yue Wei didn't even pay attention to Yan Xi, but looked back at his daughter behind him, "Feng Xing, I have to doubt your ability to take charge of the Praetorian Guard. His voice was deep and powerful, but it was clear to everyone present.
"It's my rereliction of duty." Feng Xing's face became even more ugly, and after a thousand steps, he stomped on the ground with his right foot, and shouted angrily, "Forbidden Army! She even used her power to make the ground tremble.
As soon as Feng Xing's words fell, a large group of warriors in black heavy armor swarmed into the hall. The two generals led by Feng Xing saw that Feng Xing's face was full of anger, and the two who knew the princess's temper did not find a reason to explain, but drew their swords cleanly and shouted: "Forbidden army, draw your sword." ”
"Presumptuous! How dare you draw your sword against the cardinal archbishop of the Holy One. Although the knights in white armor were far less numerous than the forbidden army, their momentum did not fall behind at all, "Where is the Holy Knight?" ”
At the sound of the order, another group of people in the banquet stood up. Dozi knew some of them, they were the elite of the Holy Knights stationed in Stonecrown City, and they had fought with them against the monster army. He also noticed that Shengyan's disciple Luo Yin was still sitting in place, but Kedian Xing only hesitated for a moment, and then stood up as well.
"Dianxing, what do you mean?" Shengyan's eyes were filled with anger. He obviously didn't expect his disciple to make such a choice.
"Master, please forgive!" Dianxing walked through the hall and into the ranks of the white-armored knights, bowing his head and saying no more.
"Your Majesty's good means even the Templars were impressed by your charm." Yan Xi looked at Luo Yin and several other knights, and said sarcastically.
"Your Excellency, please don't say that." Luo Yin got up and said, "There must be some misunderstanding in this, I hope the two sides can sit down and have a good talk." ”
Of course, this is most likely just a misunderstanding. As long as His Majesty's heart is devoted to the Holy God, everything else is just a trivial detail. I see that Luo Yin likes it very much, and he will stay in Shiguan City forever in the future. Yan Xi's gaze swept over Du Qi and the others, "As long as Your Majesty allows me to take a few people, I will personally come to apologize to Your Majesty tomorrow." ”
"Hahahaha, they were born in the Rocky Kingdom, so it's natural to stay here, what does it have to do with my charm?" Yue Wei laughed twice, "If there really are evil cultists here, of course I am willing to fully cooperate, and you can take them away at any time...... It's a pity that I've never heard anything about cultists, and all I have here are my friends. If you want, sit down and have a drink, and nothing has happened today. If you don't want to, please leave immediately. ”
"Your Majesty hasn't figured out the situation yet, has he? A large army of monsters has been gathered in the north, and without the help of the Holy One Sect, you are just ants under the feet of the monster army. Don't forget what happened to your ancestors. ”
"I don't see if it's you guys!" Yue Wei sneered, "You still have the face to mention the events of the past, do the Holy One Sect really think that we don't know anything?" Forbidden Army, Sending Guests. He roared like a lion's roar.
Now that the lord of the country has made his words clear, the courtiers in the hall who had bowed their heads and remained silent also got up one after another, and the awe-inspiring momentum collided violently in the air.
"Good...... Very good! Let's go. Yan Xi snorted coldly and turned to leave with a group of knights.
"Today's incident is a joke for everyone." Yue Wei's face regained its benefits again, and he turned his head to look at Du Qi and the others, "Just like Shengyan said, you are all friends of the Rocky Kingdom, and I, Yue Wei, am not ungrateful. ”
"Your Majesty is too polite." The Governor bowed down and said, "Dawnwatch is also looking forward to future cooperation. ”
