At dusk, Ophelina's carriage slowly drove out of the Earl's Palace, Ophelina sat in the carriage, Cecil sat opposite her as a personal attendant, Ophelina had changed into a white dress, and a sparkling diamond necklace was hung on her smooth and white neck, and the ornaments on her head looked noble and elegant, and her whole body looked noble and generous, and her aura was extraordinary. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cecil was tempted to ask where he was going to the dinner tonight, but the thought that he was a knight of the retinue was better off not asking his own lord such a question. Unexpectedly, Ophelina said, "Our banquet tonight is in the palace. ”

Palace! Cecil never expected that he would have the opportunity to enter the palace so soon, the royal palace of the Soloran Kingdom or the royal palace of any country was only the object of the player's YY before Cecil crossed over, and he had never had a chance to enter it. I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to enter the palace after only half a year of crossing into a waste, and Cecil was a little excited when he thought about it.

"Is there often such a banquet in the palace?" Cecil asked.

"Small gatherings were often held in the palace, but they were limited to a few families with close ties to the royal family. Today is different, it is a large ball, and almost all the young people with the title of earl and above participate. Ophelina said as she closed her eyes.

"It's so big? Is there any grand celebration or grand celebration for the royal family? Cecil asked, generally speaking, the royal family really rarely holds such a large banquet, and this time is not a festival, there should be some special reason for such a large-scale aristocratic gathering.

"To welcome the distinguished guests of other countries." Ophelina said.

"Distinguished guests from other countries? Could it be that someone from the Elok Empire has arrived? Cecil asked.

"Not only the three princesses of the Elok Empire, but also the four princes of the Elaya Kingdom, and the three princes of the Havata Kingdom are all here, and basically several princes and princesses of the kingdom will attend tonight, this is a big scene that has been rare for several years." Ophelina suddenly opened her eyes and said to Cecil with a smile.

Cecil couldn't help but gasp, there are so many big people coming, such a person came to the Sololand Kingdom with great fanfare, it will definitely not come with only three or five servants, it must be to bring a large-scale mission, so what is the purpose of these people at this time? Cecil suddenly remembered something and said, "Could it be that something is going to happen at the Demon Gate?" ”

Ophelina glanced at Cecil: "You are quite smart, yes, these princes and princesses are likely to come for the matter of the Demon Gate, and the four countries may soon have a big move against the Demon Gate." ”

Ceciil's heart tightened, it seemed that there was a big battle to be fought next, there were a total of five human countries in the Lovalan Continent, of which the above four countries, that is, the southwest of the El Luk Empire, the northwest of the Sauroran Kingdom, the northeast of the Elaya Kingdom and the southeast of the Havata Kingdom were bordered together, and the border territory of the four countries was put together like a square corner, and as the center of the dividing line was this eternal demon gate.

Of course, this Demon Gate is actually longer than three of these four countries, and the reason why the borders of the countries are now has a lot to do with this Demon Gate, because of the existence of such an Optimus Pillar, it is difficult for the human kingdom to cross the Demon Gate and develop towards other human countries, the abyss on the other side of the Demon Gate has 999 layers of endless territory, and there are countless powerful demon creatures in it. Fortunately, the abyss itself is a huge battlefield of infighting, otherwise the surface world would be shattered in minutes.

Although the Demon Gate can only teleport some small warlords in the abyss, after hundreds of thousands of years of growth, the Demon Gate's sphere of influence has spread to several surrounding provinces, and parts of several provinces have been occupied by the demons who came out of the Demon Gate, becoming a deserted and uninhabited area, and the four human countries established the Holy Alliance fifty years ago in order to solve the problem of the Demon Gate. Together, they sent troops to contain the forces of the Demon Alliance on the current front, and built a balanced defensive position. So much so that the territory of several provinces close to the Demon Gate has become a vast battlefield filled with gunpowder, and tens of thousands of people die in battle every year.

So this time it is estimated that the four countries no longer want to endure this never-ending attrition and want to solve the problem once and for all, but the Demon Gate is such a huge space debris, even the gods are afraid that it will be very difficult to brain, how to do it, Cecil is really a little unimaginable

However, it is certain that the high-level leaders of the four countries are already thinking about this issue, listening to Ophelina, this time the princes and princesses and other characters are just the leading figures on the surface, and many high-level staff members who came with the group are the real powerful people, and even many temple priests have come here, and if the high priests and priests of the temples of several countries implement the divine descent in a unified manner, then they may invite the god's doppelganger down. It may even be possible to join forces with Cabrada.......

Cecil beat a drum in his heart, this is an unprecedented war, if it happens, it will definitely be an epic battle, I don't know if I am lucky enough to be able to participate in this war and achieve meritorious service, if I achieve meritorious service in this kind of battle, then it will be no problem for me to become a nobleman like a baron.

Cecil was thinking about his own thoughts when the carriage had slowly driven into the palace, and stopped under a square, Cecil himself jumped out of the carriage first, and then greeted Ophelina, this is a very open square, surrounded by many noble carriages, the relevant personnel working in the palace are nervously scheduling the docking of these carriages, and the nobles who have already got off the carriage have walked towards the main hall in front of the square.

Ophelina quickly greeted some of the noble girls who were walking towards the main hall, and it seemed that Ophelina was familiar with these people, and Cecil and the entourage of these noble girls could only slowly follow behind and be on guard.

After entering the main hall, Ophelina and they went to the restaurant, Cecil looked at the whole hall, the area of the hall is as big as a football field and is divided into two floors, from the architectural point of view, the second floor part is probably as for the theater There are some VIP private rooms, and the first floor is divided into several parts such as the theater, the restaurant, the dance field, etc., and it is even said that there is a large gladiatorial arena under this hall. Of course, Cecil did not see how it turned out.

After entering the restaurant, there are already hundreds of aristocratic children standing inside, one by one the male jade tree is in the wind, and the female is noble and elegant, which is really a heart-warming polygonal picture. Everyone slowly took their seats, all kinds of silver cutlery were already placed on the marble table, the waiters lined up to serve the meal, all kinds of delicacies were mouth-watering, the best meal Cecil had eaten since crossing was probably the lunch at Count Casikud's house, but it was really nothing compared to the one in the palace today.

Sitting at the head of the restaurant is the king's nephew, Earl Barnett, he is the eldest son of the king's younger brother, Duke Atwood, and will inevitably inherit his father's title in the future. Today he apparently made the leading figure of these young people, and after he had spoken some official words before the meal, he announced the beginning of the meal

Although the things here are very tempting and delicious in the world, but all the young people who eat are very gentle, sure enough, for the nobles, cultivation is more important than the stomach, seeing that they are not interested in the slightest of delicious things on the table, Cecil feels distressed, but it is a pity that as a follower, he does not even have a place to sit, he can only stand behind Ophelina's chair, holding a sword in both hands to make a knight's shape, and even his eyes can not squint, it is really a sinful job.

Finally, the meal was finished, and the evening activities officially began, and the nobles and ladies all walked to the dance hall to dance, on the way to dance, Cecil's noble sons and young ladies chatted together and walked towards the ball, and Cecil could only follow a group of attendant knights to the dance hall, Cecil took the opportunity to look at the surrounding knights, almost everyone is a professional in the temple, and their strength is at least above the 5th order, and a level like him is already a weak person in this group of people, A few of them turned out to be Holy Steps. If you can let the Holy Order accompany the knights to do this kind of thing, then the main family should at least be a big man at the duke-level level.

Cecil also saw that the knights of other countries with completely different costumes were also among them, and they must be the entourages of young nobles who came to participate in the El Luk Empire and other countries, but Cecil did not see those legendary princes and princesses, compared to these people, they thought very highly of themselves and did not want to be in the company of ordinary nobles, and the princes and princesses of the Sauroran Kingdom did not appear, presumably accompanying them.

When Cecil was taking advantage of this opportunity to go around in large quantities, he instinctively instinctively had an eye watching him, and he followed the gaze he felt, and found a long-haired girl in a white evening dress looking at him, Cecil wondered in his heart, and when he looked closely, this person turned out to be Anne.

Cecil was taken aback, she was usually used to her tomboy dress, and she was a little dazed when she saw this banquet suit, and the hood he wore when he pretended to be a boy was also taken off, Cecil really didn't expect that the usual tomboy-like Anne would be so beautiful at this time, not at all under these noble ladies. Anne was overjoyed to see him and grimaced at her, while Cecil whispered a hand to Anne in greeting.
