054, talented player
Talos struggled to remove Maximilian's arm around his neck, but he couldn't match his four arms, and whenever he removed one arm, a second or third arm would come back to him.
The young Naga soon realized the problem, and after calculating the success rate, he very wisely abandoned the decision to repeat it, allowing Maximilian to put his arm around his shoulders and make a good gesture of affection.
"What's the difference between the sixth and seventh orders? ”
It's not that Talos suddenly learned to be humble, but because whether it is the sixth order of black iron or the seventh order of black iron, for a high-level professional like Maximilian, it is a matter of one round.
"Of course there is a difference. Maximilian explained with a grin, "This determines when you can help me with the pressure." ”
"What?" Talos felt that they were definitely not talking about the same thing, what did it have to do with the inexplicable pressure.
Maximilian took two glasses of red wine from the waiter who was passing by, thought about it and put one back again, shook it in front of Talos, and said with a little ostentation: "I almost forgot the rule that underage Naga can't drink alcohol, it's a pity, Tár, you have to wait three years before you can taste this fine wine imported from the Golden Empire." ”
In response to his teasing, Talos whipped the young man hard at the back with his tail.
"Hey, man, I'm just stating a fact. For the sake of the goddess of the sea, you can't be so rude to your cousin at a banquet-"
"I think the young lady of the Quinnich family over there might have something to say to me, what do you think, Marcos?"
The Queenych family is a family of blood knights along with the Schneiders, Kleimans, and Schulz.
"Well, well, you're always right. Maximilian made a gesture of surrender, cleared his throat and said, "Here's the thing—"
Then he was interrupted by Talos again: "Mother seems to have something to announce, remember to tell me later, of course it doesn't matter if you don't tell me." ”
Talos flicked his tail and left the place, fanning out like the others around Sandra, waiting for the Black Sea Lord to speak.
"Hey, wait for me, damn it. ”
Maximilian relentlessly followed Talos, ready to explain something, but before Sandra could speak, and he had to swallow back all the words that came to his lips.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Leo and I are very pleased that you are here at the Palace of Evelyn tonight. I am so pleased to have a dinner today for Emma, my daughter, to celebrate her becoming a member of the Maharmed Naga. ”
......
Talos stood at the front of the crowd and nodded, although Sandra was usually arrogant and cold, she would still speak patiently on such occasions, fulfilling her duties and responsibilities as the Lord of the Black Sea and the patriarch of the Neptune family.
"Even today, I remember the banquet at the Yvelyn 24 years ago to welcome the first heir of the House of Nepton. Many of you may have to look back to 27 years ago. ”
27 years ago was the time when Sandra unprecedentedly combined the power of "lord" and "patriarch" and personally sent her aunt, Michael to the arms of death, to truly dominate the Black Sea.
"Tonight, 27 years after the Nepton family ended the turmoil and won the decisive moment to decide their own destiny, the mission to make the Black Sea stronger and more perfect has been taken one step forward. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to solemnly introduce you, Emma Nepton, the future Lord of the Black Sea!"
"To the Black Sea Lord!"
"To the Black Sea Lord!"
Emma slowly stepped forward and stood next to Sandra, accepting everyone's congratulations as the future Lord of the Black Sea.
She was wearing a magical robe dress with a lot of pearls tonight, which was originally the protagonist of the dinner, and at this time she became the focus.
All the guests understood that such an outstanding heir meant that the Black Sea would continue to grow and become the leader of the kingdom's second echelon.
Even......
It is even possible to grow into a behemoth like the Eternal Tides, although there is very little hope, after all, it will require a bronze fifth-order six-armed naga to be in charge.
The perfect heir.
Appearance, strength, conversation, upbringing, Erica collects all kinds of information and data, and finally defines Emma in this way.
This time, Pella of the Kleiman family is on the same page as her.
"Yes, the Black Sea will probably be even more powerful in the next 300 years, but I don't know what the royal family and the Sea God Temple will think about this. ”
Erica gave Pera a deep look, and it was clear that the tall lady had a delicate mind that was completely inconsistent with her appearance.
The royal family was not satisfied with the situation of the Black Sea being controlled by one person, especially when Sandra used the power of the royal family to break the monopoly of the Black Sea Michael, and then he would throw the royal family away and go further and more completely than Michael on this road.
Erica knew that conspiracy theories such as "Talos's accident in Strasbourg was at the behest of the royal family, if not by the royal family", to warn Sandra to restore the situation of the Black Sea duality as soon as possible.
This time, the "Talos Act" was successfully passed, in addition to the guidance of the Nepton family and the dissatisfaction and determination accumulated by many magic families and bloodline families over the years, there was another important reason that the mermaid mage gave the royal family and the parliament a chance to transfer the conflict.
In other words, so that they don't feel shameless.
In this way, it is very worth pondering tonight when Sandra publicly announces Emma as the future Black Sea Lord.
And don't forget that there was also a high priest of Finrod from the Temple of the Sea.
When the Naga kingdom was stable, the Sea Temple was transcendent, and in the event of a coup d'état such as a regional rebellion, they were always the most powerful supporters of the royal family.
Thinking of this, Erica quickly cut off her divergent thoughts, whether it was the royal family, the Sea God Temple, or the Black Sea Lord, they were all behemoths to her.
There are some things that she still better protects herself.
So, as if he hadn't heard anything, the administrator of the Black Sea Office of Eternal Tides diverted the subject: "It's a pity that Talos can't go down the path of mages, otherwise—"
"Actually, that's not bad. Pera didn't mind Erica's change of course, and continued, "I can't help but laugh out loud at the thought that in the future, Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's supposedly gifted magic apprentices will need to learn a spell invented by a bloodline knight. ”
Erica couldn't laugh anymore.
Fortunately, Sandra seemed to have something to say, and resolved her embarrassment as a mage in time.
Leo said that there are still many people who are very interested in Talos, given the many things that have happened in the kingdom in the past month. ”
"It's also a great honour for me to be here, tonight, as a mother, to announce something for him—"
What will it be?
The guests were curious, was it related to infrared detection or the Talos Act?
However, if these two things are the case, it doesn't seem to make sense to dig deeper.
"Talos is a Dominant Bloodliner!"
- This is a talented player!
PS: Part of Sandra's speech quotes Queen Elizabeth II's speech on the sixtieth anniversary of her accession to the throne, don't mind.
