Chapter 3 - At the Banquet
Amelia's Scepter of Aries: A powerful scepter refined from the bones of a beastly bishop. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because the refining method is to refine Amelia, who has not completely died, through crystallization, so a part of Amelia's soul and crystallized power are left, so the holy scepter can cast spells in addition to miracles and magic spells. In addition, the eyeballs in the red crystal at the top of the temple are the support of Amelia's soul and a powerful treasure condensed by the blood of the old gods.
-----------------------------------
Early in the morning, Lu Ming got up from Filner's bed and slowly walked into the bathroom to wash.
Looking at himself with the ring of darkness on his chest in the mirror, Lu Ming washed his face with cold water, and then went to wake up Filner.
"I didn't say anything in my dreams after I fell asleep, did I?" Getting up in a daze, Filner asked Lu Ming.
"No, don't worry." Despite his unwillingness, Lu Ming still chose to conceal it.
Although Filner felt that Lu Ming was lying, she didn't think too much about it when she just woke up. Nodding slightly, he went to the bathroom to prepare for a shower.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ming glanced at the information on his phone.
Name: Lu Ming
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Wolf Blood 100% / Blood Heal 11%)
Grade: 23
Experience required to get to the next level: 623737
Stamina: 34
Strength: 36
Dexterity: 34
Intelligence: 60
Spirit: 35
Mana: 2000
Affiliation: Flange Immortals
Systematic review: Intermediate mage from the Undead Squad.
Because of nearly three months of hunting, Lu Ming's level has increased by 10 levels. The parentheses after the race data also have an extra percentage attribute of blood therapy because of the blood of bestiality.
This attribute did not increase the attribute value like wolf blood, but it also added an additional 500 mana value to Lu Ming. Now, he needs two primordial ash vials to be able to increase mana from 0 to full.
Just as Lu Ming saw that there was no message from the gods on his phone and was about to put it away, Filner's mother knocked on the door.
Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately put away his mobile phone, walked over and opened the door.
"Why did you wake up so early? Why didn't Filner let you sleep a little longer? Seeing that it was Lu Ming who opened the door, Ferna's mother, who was holding two breakfasts, asked a little strangely.
"Mom, don't blame Ferner, I'm used to waking up early. As you know, I've been out hunting for months, and if I don't get up early, I won't be able to catch up with my prey. "Because he gave Filner a silver sword and wolf crest, it is equivalent to getting engaged privately, so Lu Ming has to call Filner's mother, Mom.
However, to be honest, Lu Ming now thinks about the few fiancΓ©es in Odysseus, it seems that only Sham's mother is still alive, and the others are basically orphans.
"You, just protect Filner, she will be spoiled by you in the future." Filner's mother didn't believe Lu Ming's truth, but felt that Lu Ming was protecting Filner, so she said this.
After putting breakfast on the bedside table, Filner's mother handed the two invitations to Lu Ming and said, "The Grand Duke is going to hold a banquet tonight, and all the nobles of Agamemnon will attend. Don't let Filner mess up at banquets, she's used to mess up at banquets and balls! β
"Filner is out of trouble? No way. She looks very good at etiquette, dance steps, and posture! β
"You'll know when the time comes!" Filner's mother smiled meaningfully and walked away.
Seeing this, Lu Ming had no choice but to pick up breakfast and walk into the bathroom to leave, eat breakfast with Filner, who was taking a bath, and ask what was going on at the banquet.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he put breakfast on the bathroom table, he heard Filner ask coldly, "What are you doing here?" β
After a slight flurry, Lu Ming immediately reacted, the relationship between him and Filner was not as close as it was with Lily and the others, but just passers-by who had to be together.
"The Grand Duke sent us an invitation to attend his banquet." Letting go of unrealistic illusions, Lu Ming said businessmanlikely.
"Banquet? Why didn't I know? β
"Huh! You'll know there's a ghost! β
"What do you mean?" Filner frowned and said angrily.
Lu Ming looked at Filner's beautiful but very cold face with a look of pity, shook his head slightly, and said, "If you only have such a little ability, you will be so sorry for the coat of arms I gave you." β
"You!" With a bang, Filner stood up from the barrel and glared at Lu Ming with great anger.
"Grand Duke, I want to kill you, you should know this, right?"
"Yes!"
"Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Lu Ming smiled contemptuously and said, "Because you know too many things!" β
Such a sentence shocked Finner.
She slowly sat back in the barrel, looked at herself reflected on the water, and wondered if she had made the wrong step that gave the Grand Duke the idea of killing people.
At this time, Lu Ming sneered and said, "You still don't know, do you?" β
"I'm not as good as her, am I?" Filner asked suddenly, inexplicably.
Although she didn't name names, Lu Ming knew who she was asking.
"You're far inferior to her. She may not be an aristocratic child of Agamemnon, but she has far more vision than you. β
"I do ...... that she can force herself to fall in love with you and force herself to marry you."
"There is no coercion between us!" Lu Ming was angry with Filner for the first time.
If it weren't for the very good sound insulation effect of washing hands, Filner's parents would have discovered at this moment that Lu Ming and Ferner, who were very close in the eyes of outsiders, actually didn't like each other.
Looking at Ferner, who was frightened by the sudden murderous aura on his body, Lu Ming slowly calmed down.
"If you can't learn what to touch and what not to touch, I won't hesitate to give you up, even if you might benefit Odysseus." Throwing down a warning, Lu Ming left the bathroom.
It took a while for Filner to react.
Looking at the two breakfasts that Lu Ming had placed on the table, Filner muttered, "Saldalo, what should I do......"
-----------------------------------
In the evening, five thirty.
Lu Ming and Ferner held hands and went to the place where Raels held the banquet, the old Count Phoenix Aemon's Earl's Castle.
Strangely enough, Phoenix is not not a descendant of Raels, or even of the old Archduke Hetiste, but a hero of the battle raised by the previous Grand Duke and Mikadesli Essukon, and a hero who quelled the unrest of the people below. If it weren't for Luyanali Thatch's poisoning of Archduke Mikadesli Essukon, Phoenix Ammon might not have lived as far as he is now.
As soon as he entered the Earl's Palace, a noblewoman dressed gorgeously walked from the corner of the hall to Lu Ming and Finner.
"Yo~! Isn't this Filner the Clown? Why did the Grand Duke even invite you! "The noblewoman was very arrogant, and looked down on the countess of Filner.
"May I ask this lady, why do you say this about my fiancΓ©e?" Out of protection for Filner, Lu Ming asked very unhappily.
Sensing that Lu Ming might be a little angry, the noble lady immediately walked away without saying a word.
In this way, Lu Ming couldn't continue to ask, so he had to comfort Filner softly.
It's just that Ferner acted as if nothing had happened, which made Lu Ming feel puzzled.
"Hello, may I ask, is it Viscount Lu Ming?" At this time, a servant from the Earl's Mansion walked in front of Lu Ming and asked Lu Ming.
"Yes, I am." Lu Ming nodded.
"The Grand Duke, please come over and attend a meeting of the lords and counts." The servant said very respectfully.
Lu Ming, who didn't know what this meeting was, could only follow the servant towards the room where the meeting was taking place with Finner.
However, after only a few steps, the servant stopped and said to Finner, "The Grand Duke has invited Viscount Lu Ming, and I ask you to stay in the hall and wait for the banquet to begin." β
"I am Count Filna Ozmoz, and I take back your rude words!" Filner angrily said that he was a count and should attend the meeting that both the lords and the count should attend.
But what made her feel incredulous was that the servant actually said, "I'm sorry, but you are not on the list of the ecumenical councils. β
All of a sudden, the entire hall resounded with a mockery of Filner.
Lu Ming saw the blushing old Viscount Ozmoz in the crowd. Seeing that he wanted to defend his daughter with a look of shame, but he didn't know what to do, Lu Ming had to gently pat his arm tightly, lowered his head and forcibly endured the aggrieved Ferner, and said to the disrespectful servant: "That's just the Grand Duke's negligence and forgetting to put my fiancΓ©e's name on the list." β
As soon as these words came out, the nobles in the entire hall immediately gasped, shocked by Lu Ming's words that the viscount with territory and strength did not take the grand duke in his eyes.
"But......" The servant tried to defend a few words, but it was a pity......
"Are you questioning a lord?" Lu Ming's slightly gloomy question made the servant so frightened that he couldn't say a word.
The servant's face changed several times, and in the end, he had to droop his face like a deflated ball, leading the way for Lu Ming and Ferna.
Seeing that Lu Ming solved the problem in two sentences, the nobles who were closer to the old Viscount Ozmoz all said to the old Viscount Ozmoz: "Old Ozmoz, you have a good son-in-law with hard confidence!" β
The old Viscount Ozmoz laughed and replied, "Young people, they are all a little young and vigorous! β
Seeing that the old Viscount Ozmoz was cheap and behaved, many old nobles secretly sighed why none of their sons and sons-in-law gave some strength.
-----------------------------------
Following the servants, Lu Ming and Finner came to the room where the meeting was held.
As soon as he walked into the room, the first thing Lu Ming saw was the owner of this earl's palace, the former lord of Valhalla, but now the Falcon Count Phoenix Aymon, who has lost the management of the territory. Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming saw Nero Catolo and Dahl Carcarlo, two counts who owned the territory.
After bowing slightly to the Grand Duke, Lu Ming took Filner to sit in the seat that had been prepared in the room a long time ago.
Just like Lu Ming said, Grand Duke Raels did not react to Filner's arrival, as if it were taken for granted.
It's just that he didn't forget to put Filner's name on the list, but deliberately wanted to see if Lu Ming would relieve Filner.
The result made Grand Duke Raels a little disappointed, after all, if Lu Ming left Filner behind, it meant that the relationship between the two of them was not as good as it seemed.
"The royal family sent a message saying that the Ifa Empire had prepared an army ready to invade Mirakesa at any time. Although Dak Ifa now mistakenly thought that this army was preparing to attack them again, and was delaying Ifa's invasion. But we in Mirakaisa cannot sit still, we must find new ways to strengthen our own army and find new allies! β
"And the only allies we can find now, apart from Longall and the Dark Church, are Cainhorst."
"This is deadly for us, and if we can't find new allies, we will be doomed by Mirakaisa!"
Listening to the words spoken by the three counts of the Raels line, Nero, Finner, and Phoenixas all fell into silence, and the remaining viscounts and barons were even more speechless.
Probably thinking that Lu Ming knew a lot about Longall and other places, Grand Duke Raels personally opened his mouth and asked Lu Ming: "Viscount Lu Ming, do you think there are any other places besides these places that we have to negotiate?" β
"I don't understand, why are you asking me, Grand Duke. Here is the Earl of Lothric from Lothric, and you come to ask me if this cold valley man has gone too far? β
Upon hearing this, many lords looked at Count Lustric, one of the three lineage earls of the Archduke of Rays, who had no idea where he came from.
"You should know what happened in Lothric, although I am from Lothric, but I can't ......"
"As far as I know, the Demon King has become a half-dragon, half-human monster because of his study of the magic book left behind by the White Dragon Sith. The whole of Lothlick has long since fallen into the hands of the two princes. As the son of the Demon King, will you be able to make an alliance between Lothric and Mira Kaiza? I really don't believe it. Lu Ming shook his head with a smile and said.
As soon as these words came out, the entire room was suddenly covered with exclamations.
However, Count Lothric retorted: "You are the salary king of the Fran Immortals, why don't you let the Fran Immortals form an alliance with Mira Caesar?" You must know that you can slaughter the army of the Salary King of a country! β
"He who gazes into the abyss will also be gazed upon by the abyss. The end of the undead team is to fall into the abyss, and even I am no exception. Now they are probably all in the abyss. Where can I get them to join? β
"Looks like the Flange Immortals can't shelter you anymore. Viscount Lu Ming! β
"But the cold valley can still protect me. Isn't your country also under attack by our Cold Valley to the point of destruction? Prince Lothric! β
Looking at Lu Ming and Lothric, who were secretly fighting in the dark, Raels was very angry and said angrily: "Enough! β
He stood up and ordered Lu Ming and Lothric very directly: "Count Lothric is responsible for negotiating with the Kingdom of Lothric and asking them to send troops to Mira Kaisa to support us. β
"Viscount Lu Ming is responsible for negotiating with Cold Valley and Cain Horst!" (To be continued.) )
