Chapter 768 Palace Banquet

Lin Zaishan said to the nobles and knights who wanted to kill themselves for the noble lady: "Let's go up together." ”

"Presumptuous!" "Bold!" "Arrogance!" "I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

The crowd reprimanded. They took the initiative to punish Lin Zaishan for the noble lady, which did not mean that they recognized Lin Zaishan's strength, and this Huaxia boy was so arrogant that he wanted to challenge everyone.

One of the knights couldn't bear it anymore and drew his sword and slashed it straight at the head. Lin Zaishan sneered, dodged lightly, and kicked the knight in the crotch, causing him to crouch and fall to the ground screaming.

"This guy is actually plotting against people with black feet!" Onlookers began to denounce.

Lin Zaishan asked with a smile: "I promise not to kick the crotch next time." Who wants to come? ”

Another tall knight picked up his sword and slashed at him. His movements are very strong and amplitude, but they are a little stiff and his intentions are too obvious.

Lin Zaishan suddenly rushed to his right back, tripped the opponent's leg with his left foot, and pushed hard with his left hand. The tall knight suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground on his back, and before he could stand up, he was pointed at the face by the tip of his sword.

At this time, the third person in the early stage rushed from behind with a loud roar. Lin slammed the tall knight's long sword on the ground with his heel behind the mountain, causing it to fly right in the shin of the attacker behind him, and this gentleman immediately sat on the ground with a scream.

"Who else?" Lin Zaishan played a sword flower, the long sword was neatly sheathed, and his hands were crossed leisurely.

Everyone looked at each other, and the others hesitated. They had never seen this Huaxia guard before, and thought that he was just a rookie, after all, there were only twenty or thirty famous masters in the capital; Who knew that he could put down 3 strong men in succession with only one and a half moves between talking and laughing.

Trinity wasted no time in declaring: "This is my personal bodyguard, Wangcai, and all the nobles and knights present are welcome to challenge him, and whoever can win against him can replace him as my personal bodyguard." ”

The men were in an uproar, and many people immediately wanted to sign up, and a few even raised their arms in front of their female companions, clamoring to be Trinity's personal guards.

The palace guards had long noticed that it was too noisy, and a leader came to warn everyone that no force should be used outside the palace gates. The turmoil has stopped for the time being. Everyone was inspected in the palace one after another.

According to the rules of the palace, outsiders are not allowed to bring long-range weapons into the palace. Lin Zaishan's pistol and bow and arrow were temporarily put away for safekeeping.

Enter the palace gate and walk through a wide lawn full of flowers to a heavily guarded stone castle that is more than 50 meters high. After another level, you will enter the glorious hall inside the castle.

This hall is more than 2,000 square meters and is brightly lit and full of guests. In the center of the hall was a large circle of banquet tables, which were already filled with delicacies and exquisite tableware.

Hundreds of palace guards in ornate armor guarded the halls; A similar number of servants served food and wine, arranged flowers and burned incense, and were busy shuttling back and forth.

The nobles, gentlemen, ladies and knights of the capital city who were high enough were basically among the invitees to this banquet. At this time, before the banquet officially began, they gathered together in twos and threes to chat. The attendants they brought with them were on their side, and the guards were placed at the edge of the hall.

Trinity immediately attracted the attention of half of the crowd as she entered the hall, and the men rushed up to greet her.

Orlando, who had already entered the palace for a long time, was surrounded by a large group of aristocratic ladies when he saw Trinity coming, and immediately left this group of female fans and stepped forward. "Dear lady, you are truly radiant and beautiful tonight."

Trinity maintained her usual arrogance and indifference, "Rose Knight, I warn you: don't snub the beauties behind you. ”

"They are like sunflowers to the sun."

"Your metaphor is quite novel, but you seem to have forgotten that in this strange space, the sun is like a three-year-old child's graffiti pasted into the sky, where is there any light?"

As Orlando pondered how to respond, one of the capital's main contenders, Earl Russell, popped up and interjected, "Young man, don't you think that any beautiful compliment is superfluous in front of the most beautiful woman in the capital?" It's better to have a little bit of it. ”

Earl Russell held a delicate small box in both hands and respectfully handed it to Trinity, "This is a little contemptible, please smile." ”

Trinity is well-known in the outside world for her love of cheapness, and the intelligent beings in the lower realms have to offer a large number of star souls to her. Unlike other poor and powerful people, she never cares much about the benefits delivered to her door; At the same time, she is not soft-hearted like other powerful people who take benefits, she still remains arrogant and indifferent, she still has to be pitted when she should be pitted, and she will still be ruthless when she should be ruthless.

"Your Excellency the Earl of Russell is quite realistic." Trinity opened the small box and pulled out a sparkling diamond necklace. Jewelry made of diamonds has a strong allure and "killing power" for women. There are no diamonds at all in the strange space, and high-quality diamonds are even more precious. The diamond necklace given by Count Russell was made by a skilled craftsman after he collected many diamonds, and it can be said that it is the only one of the Glorious Duchy, and even the Brilliant Duke does not have it. In the eyes of Earl Russell, this necklace can definitely win the favor of any woman in the capital.

However, Trinity didn't even bother to look at it, so she didn't care about putting the diamond necklace into the box and throwing it to the butler next to her. "Count Russell, if you want to give me a gift you like, I'm afraid you'll have to use your brains."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely continue to work hard." Count Russell was ashamed and angry, but embarrassed to show it in front of Trinity, and turned and walked away.

The Count of Orlando laughed, "How could a layman like him have something that he could hold in front of you?" When I turn around, I'll be sure to prepare a generous gift. ”

Trinity pretended to be indifferent, "I really have no interest in the mundane; However, if it was something otherworldly, maybe I would have taken a few more looks. ”

"Oh? I don't know what it means to be otherworldly. ”

"Think Star Souls, Abilities, Spells, Extraterrestrial Meteorites, and ......," Trinity lowered her voice, "Secret knowledge related to this space, etc." ”

"I see." Orlando nodded knowingly and said with a smile, "In some time, I will definitely come to the mansion with otherworldly gifts to meet you." ”

At this point, the music plays. A master of ceremonies loudly declared: "The noble, wise, brave, loving, generous, and handsome Duke of Glory has arrived!" ”

Then, a tall, dark-faced man in a fancy costume strode out from behind the screen, raising his hand to greet everyone as he walked.

All the guests unanimously greeted the visitors with applause.

Duke Brilliant sat down in a luxurious seat in the middle and said loudly, "It has been more than 10 years since we came to this magical world......

Lin Zaishan, who was standing on the edge, was taken aback when he heard this, and thought, "Everyone has been living in the weird space for more than 10 years? This is impossible, you know, mankind has entered the last days for less than 10 years. Could it be that the passage of time in the strange space is different from the outside world? Yes, quite possibly. ”

Duke Brilliant continued, "I'm sure most of you didn't realize that we've been here for over 10 years, but I'm glad I have the talent and resources to record it all. In this magical world, time is just a concept, and youth is almost eternal, and there is no correlation between the passage of time and the loss of youth. The sun rises and sets every day, but our vitality is always maintained. ”

Lin Zaishan listened with his ears pricked up, and thought to himself: "Judging from my experience in the past period, the experience of time in the strange space is indeed different from the outside world. If what Duke Brilliant said is true, if you can stay young here, of course, everyone will not want to escape. But in reality, due to inequality and oppression, the vast majority of people do not have the opportunity to enjoy the so-called youth at all. ”

Duke Brilliant raised his right arm, bent his elbow into a fist, and teased: "Look at my muscles, it's strong enough, right?" Count Russell, you don't have to be blushing, as long as you are willing to get up early and train greedily every day like me, instead of getting drunk and dreaming in the arms of women, you can do it. ”

The crowd laughed. Duke Brilliant continued, "The fact that we have been able to live such a comfortable, elegant and youthful life is the result of our concerted efforts and hard work, and we all deserve it. We need to cherish and be grateful for our current lives. I firmly believe that the life and state we are in now will last forever! ”

The nobles, ladies, knights, and other people who came to the banquet could basically be said to have vested interests, and of course they sincerely hoped that this life would last forever, so they all gave sincere responses and cheers.

Suddenly, the noble lady with black veil, who was openly provoking Trinity outside the palace gate, shouted: "Frank, in the very moment of your congratulations, dozens of people may have died tragically because they were tortured, murdered, or attacked by wild beasts!" Don't you feel a little uneasy in your conscience? ”

Everyone looked at the noble lady in amazement, guessing her identity and motives.

Duke Frank was obviously surprised by the noble lady's trouble, and he summoned the master of ceremonies next to him to ask in a low voice, and then said loudly: "The only daughter of the late Earl of Hillman, Miss Diana, is it right?" It sounds like you have a lot of sympathy for the lower classes, so why don't you give them all your wealth and comfort them with your own body? I promise they'll love you. ”

The crowd laughed again. They have long been accustomed to the meat jokes in the gorgeous rhetoric of the upper echelons of society, represented by Frank.

Diana was ashamed and angry, and she replied loudly and emotionally, "Frank, haven't you calculated?" The entire glorious principality is no more than a few hundred thousand people, and every day at least a few dozen people die even in peace, and if there is a war, the casualties will increase tenfold or hundredfold. Excuse me: How many years is the population of the Principality of Glory enough to die? Don't you worry that one day, the population will plummet to the point where it will no longer be able to sustain the population? ”

"What does it matter to us whether the poor ghosts live or die? As long as we can live well! You say don't you? Frankla mobilized the nobles to stand in solidarity for him. "But Miss Diana also raises a profound question worth studying: how should the population continue?" The Duke of Splendor paused slightly, "I don't think we can answer this question clearly in theory; But in life, we all have the answers. ”

"What's the answer?" The Earl of Russell wasted no time in asking.

"The answer lies in the things you love to do every day." "I believe that if we keep trying to do what we love, we will have children one day." Don't you have faith in that? ”

The men laughed loudly again, louder and more ambiguous than before.

The aristocratic lady Diana was silent, her full chest kept rising and falling, obviously unusually angry.

This girl who dared to openly and brainlessly provoke Duke Frank and express sympathy for the views of the lower class of people fell to the lowest point in the eyes of the guests, but the impression score in Lin Zaishan's heart skyrocketed one after another.

Trinity had no interest in the verbal exchange just now, she glanced around with her beautiful eyes, and saw Lin Zaishan who was looking at Diana with great interest, and couldn't help frowning.
