Chapter 537: Socializing Banquet

I was a little restrained, and I got off the carriage with my little cousin and Shi Jin in a serious way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, I saw a majestic and large-scale palace fortress in the center of the city, standing tall and standing tall from the crowd.

At the same time, the Duke of Ötzi had been waiting for a long time, and the greeting personnel were lined up.

"Your Excellency Ding Yu Xuanlan, please, please." Duke Ötzi greeted him warmly and casually introduced: "This castle can be said to be old and long-standing, and it is not accessible to ordinary people. ”

"Oh?" I walked with him into the castle gates, and I looked around, "So there must be a lot of mystery about this castle." ”

"Hehe......" Duke Ötzi couldn't laugh and said, "I really didn't expect your Excellency to have such a unique opinion!" ”

"It made the Duke laugh." I smiled implicitly

"It's just a random guess on my part. ”

The Duke of Oates was silent.

"...... here" The expression on the face of the Miller mage, who had the purple eyes of the array, changed, and he seemed to notice something unusual?

Master Mohai, who was accompanying him, regained his senses at this moment, and his cloudy old eyes exuded essence. As for the rest, more of them are deeply attracted by the simple and elegant architectural appearance, and it is quite eye-opening to look around.

The ancient castle and the deep night complement each other, showing more solemnity and mystery, giving people an indescribable silence.

Fortunately, the splendid and spacious castle hall is fragrant with wine and meat, noisy people, and a group of noble women with heavy makeup and bright makeup are smiling and have a dinner together.

Nothing else, but the Duke of Oates took me by the hand and introduced me, including his wife and children, as well as a number of dignitaries from prominent families.

"Hey! I said Brother Oates. "After the introduction for me was completed, but I didn't hear it, a handsome foreigner with a graceful physique, dressed in military uniform, looking at his fierce physique, must be a giant warrior, and specially said to me: "I have indeed heard of the name of His Excellency Ding Yu Xuanlan from the Dongyuan Continent, but you invited us to the banquet tonight, and waited until now, it is just to catch him up and wash the dust." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent.

And because of these words, I felt that my face was too big, so I was ashamed.

"Hehehe......" said Duke Ötzi with a smile, "my dear brother Bell, you don't know anything about this. If you want me to reveal a bombshell news to all of you here, I think you will definitely get up from the bed in the middle of the night, dress neatly, and come to meet our Oriental friend His Excellency Ding Yuxuanlan. ”

"Oh!?"

At this point, the sound of surprise became even louder.

Duke Ötzi showed the intention of betraying him, and even looked at me who was also puzzled with a smile, and then said: "My esteemed Your Excellency Ding Yu Xuanlan, I think you are the most troubled one from beginning to end!" ”

In the face of all kinds of strange eyes gathered around, I nodded undeniably: "Of course." So, I wonder if the Duke can explain everything here? ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, you will advise." Duke Ötzi smiled and bowed his head, and said loudly to all the guests: "I invited everyone here tonight precisely to introduce to you His Excellency Ding Yuxuanlan, who came from the Dongyuan Continent and has become the master of the new generation. ”

"Oh...... O my God! I can't be tinnitus, I heard it right! ”

"God, my dear and respectable Duke, you don't seem to be drunk yet!"

"It can't be true! As far as I know, he's just a human soldier, so how can he have such a great ability? Can become the master of the new generation of Dongyuan Continent! Then I'll have to take advantage of the opportunity to make friends now. ”

In the face of these foreigners' hustle and bustle, and unbelievable words, not only me, but also everyone who came with me was completely shocked and unspeakable.

"Little cousin." Murong Ziruo shook my hand even more, waking me up in a daze and shouting, "This bad old man gringo must be deliberately touting you, maybe it will make you make a big splash!" ”

"Oh!" I frowned slightly and said, "What does this mean?" ”

"I don't think so." Shi Jin has always been close to me, a pair of eyes full of wisdom flashed with wisdom, looked at me and said: "Xuan Lan, I always feel that the purpose of Duke Otzi's arrangement is very likely to let more people know that he appreciates and values you, so that the relationship between you will definitely be very close to public opinion." ”

"So...... Shijin, I think I can understand what you mean. I said thoughtfully: "The reason why the Duke of Ötzi is so close to me is nothing more than to want to strengthen the friendship and deepen the relationship with me, so that he can ask me." ”

"Hmm." Poetry is unpredictable and nods his head.

After this, Duke Ötzi took advantage of the fact that everyone gradually calmed down, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think you must have all heard about the recent invasion of the Dongyuan Continent by undead monsters!" ”

"Oh my God! My brother Oates, aren't you knowingly asking? The general, affectionately called Brother Bell by Duke Ötzi, spoke even more loudly to show that he was conclusive about this matter: "Such news is bigger than the sky, unless you are deaf, you may not hear it!" ”

What's more, with a sense of schadenfreude, he shouted loudly: "It is said that now more than half of the territory of the Dongyuan Continent has been fallen by this group of unknown undead monsters!" ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, and when I glanced at my little cousin, I saw that she was even more sad.

"If I tell you the news here that all this was created by one man, and will be ended by one man, I wonder how you will feel?" When Duke Otzi said this, he smiled at me even more intentionally: "As you Chinese say, the bell must be tied to the bell." Your Excellency Ding Yuxuanlan, I think you must know this sentence better than me! ”

At this moment, my brows furrowed even tighter, and I didn't answer, and I didn't answer, just because with so many pairs of eyes staring, what else could I lie? - Only silence is golden, and with a calm gaze he looked at the Duke of Oates, who was smiling at me, and told him that I could be completely indifferent and indifferent to this matter.

Duke Ötzi shrugged helplessly, he was clearly a brilliant man. So, it didn't take long for me to realize it.

"My dear friends." Duke Ötzi turned his gaze to the guests, smiled apologetically, and sighed, "It seems that I should apologize to you, so that you can forgive me for my unconvinced remarks. ”

"I say, Lord Duke! If I hadn't drunk a lot and had my mind clear, it wouldn't be some goddamn April Fool's Day, so it's not a funny joke at all! ”

"Hey!" The foreign general Shuai Bell said: "I can tell Count Jims, don't complain at this time, come, let's have another toast, what is the situation in the fucking Dongyuan Continent?" It doesn't have much to do with us. ”

"Butler." Duke Ötzi immediately said to a middle-aged man: "Announce the start of the banquet." ”

"Okay. My Honorable Duke. After the middle-aged foreigner ordered the banquet to begin, he motioned for the musician to play dance music, arranged for the waiter to serve wine and food, and instructed the maid to coordinate the service.

I really had no intention of pleasing the next banquet, but I had to entertain and exchange ideas with the gentlemen who came to toast again and again.

I have to say that the enthusiastic and noisy social banquets of foreigners are really not suitable for my character who likes to be quiet and quiet because I have been withdrawn since I was a child. So, when the dance began, I didn't know how many fancy dresses I had turned down and invited me to dance.

"Little cousin." When I once again apologized for rejecting a beautiful young girl as a dance partner, my little cousin finally couldn't help but shout at me, "You really can't or don't want to dance!" You must know that you are the important guest of honor at this banquet, which is why so many foreign girls take the initiative to invite you as a dance partner, but you are completely rejected from thousands of miles away, and you seem out of place! Can't you get used to it, so that the host's family can have a better face? ”

"But there's no way around it!" I looked very helpless, shook the wine in the glass lightly, and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, since I was a child, I have never danced with any girl!" So I don't really know how to dance. ”

"Xuan Lan, you ......" When I said this, Shi Jin, who was accompanying me, couldn't help but stop talking to me.

"How is this possible!" The little cousin was completely puzzled, but she didn't relent: "But at least you should have attended the festival dance party held by your school!" In that case, you're not bad-looking, and there should always be a girl in your class willing to be your dance partner! Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable. You say yes! Poetic girl? ”

"Hmm." Shi Jin nodded even more, and with her Lan Zhi Hui's heart, she said: "That's right! Xuan Lan, Cousin Ziruo is not wrong at all, I am more shy and reserved! I won't dance with anyone unless you don't invite me to be your dance partner. ”

"Shijin, why do you want to say that?" At this point, my bitter smile became even worse, and I couldn't help but drink half a glass of red wine, and said to myself with reminiscence: "Yes! I remember that the school had held an annual dance party more than once, and at that time, why couldn't I muster up the courage to invite her to dance with me! But I watched her being cheekily invited by other boys to be a dance partner, and I could only add to my inferiority complex in my heart, and I became more and more unconfident, so that I couldn't hold my head up. ”

"Little cousin, what are you muttering to yourself!" The little cousin obviously saw the sad expression I was exuding, and seemed to have remembered the miserable days when I was lonely and miserable since I was a child. Sighing slightly, he said, "Okay! This life is still long, you can't always live in the shadow of the past! It's never too late to start all over again! ”
