Chapter 314: God descends
The celebration banquet is very boring for players, no matter how wide and gorgeous the royal court is, it will always get bored if you see too much, so it is better to go out of the city and kill a few waves of wild monsters to relieve boredom.
And the players who participated in the banquet also thought the same, less than an hour after the opening, the top 100 players in the points ranking, at least half of the walk, and some of the players who wanted to leave but were too honest to climb the dog hole in the royal court, or throw a few tricks to deceive the guards, could only sigh.
Xia Er and Zhang Ze wanted to leave, but they were pestered by groups of officials, nobles, and professionals in the imperial capital, and they couldn't leave before the banquet anyway.
Later, Zhang Ze also accepted his fate, and Qi Guangming each held a wine glass, and went to the venue to look for those aboriginal young people who smelled the same thing.
Although there is the royal family in the middle, those big nobles with evil intentions will not show their malice to Charles and his party, but an invisible layer of diaphragm is still interspersed in the venue. The nobles who did not obey the royal family gathered in twos and threes and had their own small circles. The nobles who remained loyal to the royal family also formed their own circles, and they were clearly divided.
In addition to the nobility, there is a military group led by Prince Greg, Master Kozmo, and Marshal Shava of the Purple Dragon. At least, Cormier is still condensed into a rope at the level of armament. If the regular army also deviated from Germany, it means that this ancient country has truly entered the twilight period.
Charles walked around the banquet hall as an observer. He doesn't want to meddle in Cormier's politics now, and he's not qualified to meddle. When he has a knighthood and develops his territory, he will not interfere in politics. It's going to come on its own, too.
"Hey"
Suddenly a voice behind him stopped him. Charles turned around in confusion. I happened to see a few people from the 'Glory Alliance' looking at him curiously.
"It's you. Shire? β
The little wanderer 'Shuo Mouse Shuo Mouse' rubbed his palms happily and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly disappear in the ruins the night before yesterday, causing us to look for a long time...... Hey, but in the end it was a happy ending, a few of us found the ruins quest and completed it, which is now a level 10-15 dungeon. β
"No wonder you're in the top 100." Charles said suddenly.
"No, no, no, it's not that easy. Yesterday evening, although the system prompted that the main plot has ended, there is also a transformer warlock boss on the run, our team participated in the encirclement and suppression, and grabbed the fatal blow, hehe, it's all on the announcement, don't you see? It was the orc warrior who spoke, Grunt, his eyes widened.
"There's more than a boss on the run."
Charles smiled inwardly, and neither the Dark Priestess 'Ron' nor the Blight were nowhere to be found. And that sad Transfiguration Warlock is actually dead, and he can only mourn in silence for him.
Malthus and Doreen weren't as naΓ―ve as Scoot and Gollum. Doreen looked at Charles. Hesitantly: "Just now I saw that you were surrounded by the hands of Jade, Dragon Wing, and Xinghe, and their bosses were all ...... Who are you? β
"It's a shame that I hid the team information in the beginning." Charles pulls out his team badge and lets the canopy imprint on the badge shine in the daylight.
"Nodashiel......" Malthus' pupils narrowed.
"You know?" Charles breathed a sigh of relief, then kindly stretched out his right hand and said, "As the leader of Nodashir, I am glad to have my first cooperation with your 'Glory Alliance...... I think the second collaboration is in the near future. β
Malthus's expression was a little dazed, and he shook Charles' hand in a daze, and it was not until Charles turned to leave the venue that Doreen woke him up and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by Nordasil?" β
"It was the sanctuary I had dreamed of, though it has since disappeared." Malthus sighed.
"Sanctuary?" Doreen was puzzled.
"Yes. Not only my sanctuary, but as long as the veteran players who have experienced that period of time, I am afraid they all have the same vision as me. Malthus said.
"I don't believe it."
Doreen pursed her lips and glanced over Squirrel and Gollum, these two people were about the same as her, and they weren't very old in holographic games, but there was still one last person in the team. She stared at the black-robed mage and asked, "Black-robed ......"
But as soon as she spoke, the Mage player, who had always been silent, suddenly said with a little excitement: "Has Nordasir reorganized?" β
"Who knows. Maybe it's just a skin, acting in the name of Nodashir. Malthus shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the black-robed mage, "Have you seen the head of Nodashir before?" I don't think that guy looks like that. β
"I haven't seen it, I hope to see it once, maybe I've got my wish." The black robe's answer was succinct.
The banquet continues, and this celebratory banquet is usually divided into several large parts, and there are many competitive events after the reception. Charles followed the banquet procession back and forth between the royal buildings, not feeling bored.
In the evening, when the banquet ended, Charles walked out of the palace gate under the leadership of the chief of the palace guard, but unexpectedly ran into a high-ranking priest.
"Pastor Charles, the Patriarch summons you." The middle-aged female priest with a strong scholarly atmosphere smiled kindly, "Please follow me back to the temple now." β
Well, rushing to the venue twice a day, it seems that Ogma urged. Escorted by a middle-aged priestess and a small group of Templars, Charles returns to the House of Silence in the Temple District.
The main hall was quiet, and the high priest Lucia and the chief knight of Haber were standing outside the door, and when they saw Charles coming from the stairs, Lucia rushed up to meet her, and said with a little complaint in her voice: "Your Excellency the Patriarch has been waiting for you for an afternoon, and you should leave the royal court at noon." β
If it weren't for the fear of being offended, Charles would have wanted to roll his eyes. He was willing to leave the court earlier, but Lucia did not tell the priest she had sent to come into the banquet to find someone.
"Let's go inside." Knight Captain Haber cast a relieved look at him.
Charles straightened his appearance slightly, straightened up and stepped into the main hall.
Similar to the situation when they first met, the white-haired and white-robed old priest still hung his head under the idol of Ogmar, holding the emblem in his hand, his face was serene, and he continued to whisper something in his mouth, as if he was communicating with Ogmar.
"The ...... of the Holy Advent"
After waiting for a while, the old patriarch finally spoke, but his voice was not old and kind as Charles had in his impression, but very young and personable, like a great sage standing in front of him and speaking to him.
The heart twitched. Charles realized who this was, and immediately half-hung his head, and said respectfully, "Ogma." β
"Raise your head, child, even if you are not my believers, you need not fear me at all, for you are the Holy Presence, the people of the gods of Io...... And I don't need that superficial awe. There was a gentleness, gentlemanliness in Ogma's words.
Seeing that Charles raised his head and looked directly at him when he heard this, his eyes did not dodge in the slightest, Ogma did not have a trace of displeasure in his heart, but instead smiled, "What do I want, give it to me, this body is too old, and the divine descent will not last long."
