Chapter 249: A Boring Banquet
"Miss Visuna. Can I help you. Jian Chen asked lightly, and at the same time frowned lazily.
This female elf named Vikna was sent by the elves to serve as an elven officer between the two sides, and she was responsible for coordinating some affairs between the elven army and Chen Jian's army.
In the elven army, there are a large number of female officers, and the status of female elves in the elven clan is quite high, and many people are in important positions, such as this one. The leader of this elven army is a female elf general Kailin.
So since he set off, Jian Chen has often dealt with this female elf.
In the past, Jian Chen would definitely be inexplicably excited about the appearance of such a big beauty around him, but now that his relationship with the female magician is on the rise, coupled with his disgust with the elven clan, he is relatively cold to this elven beauty.
The female magician, who had been paying attention to Jian Chen's reaction, suddenly felt better when she noticed Jian Chen's frowning movements.
But in the eyes of the female elf on the opposite side, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes because of Jian Chen's action.
But on her face, there was still a warm smile: "Your Excellency Chen Jian, can't I come to your side to take a look if it's okay?" But this time. I did come here for something! ”
After getting permission from Bruce, who was guarding Jian Chen's side, Vecna took out an invitation card with a gorgeous style unique to the elf clan, and presented her hands to Jian Chen, who had already stood up: "General Kailin invites you to a military banquet held tonight, please be sure to enjoy it!" ”
"Banquet?" Jian Chen frowned again, "It seems a bit inappropriate to hold a banquet in the barracks during the march, right?" ”
Vikna laughed, "Normally, we elves don't hold banquets on the march, but in some cases, we do!" Don't get me wrong, this is just a very simple banquet, and the participants are all high-ranking generals, in order to enhance the cooperation between our two high-level leaders! Don't you think it's necessary for you to meet with the commanders of our army? You are so cold to us elves that you haven't had any contact with us except for the first day, so General Kailin thinks it's necessary to have some communication with you, which is why this banquet is here! ”
Chen Jian said: "In this way, it is my fault! ”
Vikna shook her head and said, "Please don't say that, we don't mean to blame you. However, before we set off, the Elven King repeatedly warned us to maintain a good relationship with you, and we just followed the Elven King's orders! Of course, it's a pleasure to work with you personally, you're such a human being! ”
Chen Jian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he was still wondering how the elves could suddenly put down the guide section to befriend themselves, it turned out to be the meaning of the elf king, it seems that the elf king cares a lot about the elemental clan.
Although I didn't want to have more contact with these elves in my heart, there was no need to stiffen the relationship between the two sides, no matter what, the two sides were now considered allies, so Chen Jian finally agreed to go to the banquet: "Please tell General Kailin." I'll go! ”
After receiving Jian Chen's affirmative reply, Vikna didn't linger much and left.
Later, Chen Jian changed into a casual suit, brought a female magician who also took off her leather armor and changed back into a magician's robe, as well as Bruce and a few archangels who insisted on following, and came to the barracks of the elven army.
Then Jian Chen found that although Vikna said that it was a simple small banquet, the elves' arrangement was still very grand. There were also quite a few people who participated.
In a large group of handsome men and women of the elven clan. Chen Jian, who appeared with Bruce, the ugly-looking Troll troll, undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and Bruce's big man made Chen You and his party feel like they stood out from the crowd.
None of the elves expected that Jian Chen would bring a Thor-troll to the banquet, and this discovery made many elves change their faces.
"Filthy creatures!" Some whispered curses rang out among the elves, but they were audible to all.
Bruce's face also changed, and the last thing he could tolerate was that others looked down on the Thor trolls.
But Jian Chen's words calmed Bruce down: "Don't be angry, Bruce, the more angry you are, the happier they will be!" There's no point in bothering with them. Compared to the fragile soul of the elf who said that, you are a very noble existence with great ideals! And we were bitten by a dog, so we can't catch the dog and bite it back, right? That's a little tasteless! Trust me, one day, you'll lead your people and let the world know that the Trolls can be a great race! When the time comes, they will be ashamed of their ignorant statements! ”
When he said these words, Jian Chen also lowered his voice, but his volume was still enough for everyone present to hear.
He did it on purpose.
Bruce was an important subordinate of his, and he certainly would not sit idly by while Bruce was humiliated. What's more, if someone provokes in person, if you don't respond, you will show that you are useless, right?
Jian Chen is afraid of trouble, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of things.
Because of his words, the banquet scene suddenly fell silent, and almost all the elves glared at Jian Chen.
"Who do you say is a dog!" A young elf man dressed in a gorgeous robe came out of the crowd and stood in front of Jian Chen with a menacing attitude.
Chen Jian smiled faintly and said, "Whoever speaks first is just talking about whom!" ”
Jian Chen's words made this elf blush in an instant: "You dare."
Before he could finish speaking, a broken cry suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Gedel, stand down! Don't be rude to our guests! ”
With this shout, a female elf dressed up but still not angry and arrogant appeared in Jian Chen's sight, it was Kailin, the commander of the elven army this time, and beside her, was the equally well-dressed Vikna.
"Your Excellency Jian Chen is a guest specially ordered by the Elf King to be entertained! How dare you be so rude to His Excellency Chen Jian! Stand back now, or else. Don't blame me for being rude to you! ”
Kailin's words made the young elf known as Gedel a little difficult to accept, he looked at Kailin in a daze, and then ate, "Lord Kailin, you,"
At this time, one. The young elf, presumably a companion of Gedel, hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him away.
Kai Lin turned to Jian Chen and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency Jian Chen, I'm really sorry, the young man is not sensible. Makes you laugh! ”
Vikna chuckled in a low voice, "Gedel is General Ivo's cousin, so it's understandable that he is a little rude to His Excellency Chen Jian!" I think with His Excellency Chen Jian's generosity, he shouldn't mind! ”
"Oh? Ivo's cousin? Jian Chen was a little surprised by the identity of the other party, and he touched his nose. "I hope this doesn't happen again." Otherwise, I'm going to be bothered! ”
Cather was secretly annoyed when she heard this, she also didn't want to go with Jian Chen, let alone see the Troll of Thor appear at the banquet she held, the reason why she would entertain Jian Chen was just the meaning of the Elf King.
Just her. As far as people are concerned, she doesn't want to have meaningless contact with Jian Chen, but even after the Elf King said it, she must treat this matter as a task to complete it well.
"I don't think this will happen again, please be relieved!"
Subsequently, Kai Lin introduced Jian Chen's identity to the elves present in a formulaic manner, in fact, she didn't have to do this, everyone knew who Jian Chen was. The matter of this human lord has been a hot topic among the elves for a long time.
Because of Ivo's affairs, many elves had quite a prejudice against Jian Chen, so the scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and later, the elves simply put aside Jian Chen and talked about themselves.
This situation made Kai Lin's face pale but helpless, and then she had to force a smile to greet Jian Chen with a few senior officers.
In this regard, Jian Chen didn't pay attention to it, he had long expected this situation to happen, and the reason why he came was that he wanted to see what tricks the elves were playing.
He didn't believe that the elves had misunderstood and invited him to the banquet for no reason, there must be something wrong with this, even if the elf king wanted to make good friends with him, he didn't need to be a special friend.
Anyway, now that he has Catherine's protection, he is not afraid of what the elves dare to do to him, but the feeling of being secretly calculated is not very good after all. So he came to find out what the elves were trying to do.
He sat down in his seat with a big sting, and while dealing with talking to Kailin and the others, he feasted on all kinds of fruits prepared by the elves that were special to the forests of Tulaone.
The food of the halfling made him have little interest in the food of the elves, but he didn't have much fresh fruit during this time. First, it is busy, and secondly, Hammondale does not produce any fruits in the first place, and the fruits of the elves are quite famous on the mainland.
Not only did he eat it himself, but he also diligently made it for the sorceress.
At the same time, Jian Chen also felt the hated arrogant character of the elves again.
Regardless of Gedel's rudeness, even Kaylin. only apologized to Jian Chen painlessly afterwards, not only did he not have much sincerity, but he didn't even look at Bruce, the party who caused the dispute, as if he regarded Bruce as a transparent person.
So Chen Jian really couldn't figure out what the meaning of this banquet was, and what Kai Lin said was similar to the words that the two sides should get along amicably and cooperate sincerely was so reluctant in Chen Jian's opinion.
After staying at this boring banquet for a while, Jian Chen was still inexplicable, at this time he had eaten enough, and was about to find an excuse to say goodbye, but Vikna suddenly said: "Your Excellency Jian Chen seems to like eating fruit very much?" Or is it because this banquet is too much for you, chat? ”
Looking at the other party's smiling face, Jian Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he found the problem, he always felt that Vikna was a little weird, but he couldn't figure out what was weird.
But now, it dawned on him that Vikna's oddity was that she was a little too enthusiastic about herself compared to the other elves.
This kind of enthusiasm, in today's banquet, is particularly obvious and prominent when compared with other elves.
This is a very suspicious phenomenon.
Could it be that the problem lies in this elven beauty who is always smiling?
