Chapter 56: The Banquet
I was led all the way out of the hall by Beryl, and came to the corridor through the side door, and Belyl smiled as he walked: "It's hard to come here, right?" ”
I glanced at him and said angrily: "Yes, I have experienced the pursuit of the enemy, nine deaths, tossing and turning on the sea for several days, and being forced to train all kinds of magic, I thought that your situation was the same as that of Jin Wuta, and if you disconnected from it, you would dry up and die, but now you tell me that it is just a spiritual fragment?" ”
"Don't be angry~" Beryl smiled: "Anyway, it's all here, and the inheritance of the demon king is also a matter of time or time, so it's better to enjoy tonight's banquet first~"
I looked at his smiling face, and to be honest, if I hadn't read the relevant books recorded by Western gods and demons, I would almost have thought that the person in front of me was just an ordinary human being.
"That's not going to work," I said, "It's better to finish that ghost inheritance as soon as possible, restore your spiritual fragments and my consciousness connection as soon as possible, and I still have to set out to save the world!" ”
"Ahem, don't be so impatient" Beryl said: "Inheritance Day tomorrow, eat well, take a good rest, I will take you to receive the inheritance tomorrow, and there are still some things that need your attention to be told yet"
"Alright then!" I simply said, "Since the Great Demon King has said so, then I'll listen to you, but let's talk about it first, and when the banquet is over, you can explain it to me, how can I become the next King Solomon?" ”
"Yes, my queen~" Beryl quipped, and then snapped his fingers, and two maids appeared behind him silently, and I was taken aback, and Beryl ordered: "You guys, take this lady down to change into a banquet dress." ”
"Yes!" The two maids answered in unison, and they came up to me and saluted me, saying, "Then please come with us."
I rolled my eyes feebly and looked at Belier, who nodded, and I had to follow them.
Beryl looked at my back as I walked away, and sighed: "Dye, it's a pity that your last man is not me, if it were me, how good it would be.........."
I was taken to a room by two maids, and after trying countless dresses, I finally chose a plain black low-cut fishtail dress, my hair was completely coiled, and a white rose was pinned to my chest, and they chose a ruby necklace for me to bring with me, and after putting on a pair of rhinestone heels, they led me to the banquet hall.
To be honest, I don't wear heels very much, but fortunately, the height of the heel is not very high, and after almost breaking my foot a few times, I finally got used to it
While walking, I chatted with the two maids.,They are also from the Demon Clan.,From their mouths, I learned that the place I'm in now is in the castle of the Demon King Beryl.,The place I was in just now is located in the meeting hall closest to the gate of the castle.,Beryl He usually deals with the affairs of the Demon Realm.,Receiving guests and so on are all in that place just now.,There are two side doors on both sides of the throne in the conference hall.,A side door leads to the banquet hall.,The place I passed on the way is the place where I changed clothes just now.,It's used as a dressing room for foreign guests., On this side there are also some rooms where their subordinates live, as well as a kitchen. The banquet hall is geographically facing the council hall, and the side door on the other side leads to the Demon King's bedroom, study, and bedroom of the Nebin, who refers to the demon gods like Asmodeus who serve and are under the command of Beryl.
However, although it is the Demon Realm, I found that except for Belyl, who knows how I came here, everyone else, including Baal who I have met before, seems to have no idea what I know at all
"Could it be that there is a deviation in the timing as before?" I thought about it, and muttered in my heart: "There is also the next King Solomon This kind of thing, I have never heard of it before, although the legendary Solomon Ring is the legendary Ring, and those who possess it can obtain the supreme power, but I have never heard of a person who gets the ring will become the next King Solomon!?" Also, if I get the Demon King Inheritance, will I become the new Demon King? But shouldn't there be only one demon king in the demon world? Hey, what the hell are these?! ”
When I was thinking about these questions, I had already been brought to the door of the banquet hall, and the two maids pushed the door open for me, and I saw that there were already many demons inside, many of whom I had just seen in the hall, and there were many demons I had not seen in it
I looked around, but I didn't see Belier, the two maids took me into the door and retreated, I stood there and was baptized by the gaze of a bunch of demons, ten twisted, and when I was embarrassed, a blonde girl in a red dress quickly ran towards me, and threw herself into my arms and said coquettishly: "Lord Ink Dye ~~~~"
"Huh?" I looked at the cute and somewhat excessive female doll in front of me with a confused face, and said confusedly: "That, may I ask who you are?" ”
"I hate it, Lord Mozen, I'm Phoenix~" The little girl in front of me showed a harmless angel-like smile and said, but I was shocked and scorched: "Phoenix?!!! ”
"Don't be so loud~~~" Phoenix let go of me and pouted: "My body is a phoenix, the phoenix is a man, the phoenix is a woman, people can switch freely between men and women~~Really~No common sense~"
I remembered when he said this, yes, there are also records in some wild myths in China, saying that the phoenix is a male and female pair, I patted my head and said: "I'm sorry, because your girl's appearance is a little different from a boy, and I really didn't react for a while." ”
"It's okay~" Phoenix smiled and looked around me with his hands behind his back and said, "Well, you're pretty too!" I didn't dress up just now, my hair was messy, and I couldn't see that my body was dirty, so I could still see people after cleaning up! ”
I rolled my eyes inwardly, I didn't dress up because I was going to participate in the competition, and my hair was messy and dirty because my mother had to avoid those attacks when she participated in the competition! Really, this little devil has such a poisonous mouth!
"Ahh It's Lord Balier! Just as I was trying to find some words to refute him, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and I looked in, but from the door on the other side, Beryl, dressed in a black tuxedo, appeared, and he looked around, and when he saw me standing on this side, he walked in my direction with a smile, and when he approached me, I realized that he also had a white rose pinned to his chest.
I saw him walk up to me, and stretched out a hand to me very gentlemanly, I don't know what he was going to do, but now I can only put my hand up, Beryl gently tightened my hand, motioned for me to hold him, and after I held it, he led me all the way towards the center of the banquet hall, along the way I felt that the gaze of some demon women could poke several blood holes in my back. As I got closer to the middle, I realized that the banquet seemed more apt to be called a ball, as many of the demons had taken on human forms, dressed in colorful dresses, and the meal had taken on the form of a modern buffet, except that servants were on standby.
"Hey, look at that woman, is she a human?" A female voice with a low voice came out
"See, it's human, that taste can't be wrong, damn it, why would Lord Beryl choose a human to be his dance partner!" This is another female voice
As we walked all the way to the middle of the hall, this kind of chatter kept coming, and I glanced at Belier, but he didn't seem to hear the chatter at all, and continued to walk forward with a smile, nodding to some of the demons around him from time to time.
"Hey, what the hell are you trying to do?" I couldn't stand the jealous eyes that were cast at me, so I lowered my voice and tilted my head slightly, and asked almost without moving, "I feel like those women's eyes are about to scorch me!" ”
"It must be because you are so beautiful, and the beauty makes people jealous." When Beryl heard me ask him, he replied evasively: "It is rare for me to hold a banquet in my personal name, and I guess those dukes and barons have brought their wives and daughters with them, just to stuff me with people." ”
"So you caught me here as a shield?" I gritted my teeth
"No, I just knew that you were going to break the ban, and when the passage opened, I felt a familiar magic, so I pulled you along."
"So that hand is you?" I shuddered as I thought back to the huge, sharp claws I saw the moment I was pulled in, and looked at his handsome skin now.
"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? Beryl seemed to sense my gaze and turned his head towards me and asked with a smile
"It's okay," I said to myself: how can I let you know that I am thinking about what you are?
"Oh, by the way," Beryl led me all the way to a table at the front of the banquet hall, and after standing facing the group below, he whispered, "The manifestation of the demon will show the true appearance of that demon's heart. ”
I shuddered when I heard this, didn't I, I was seen through?
Seeing that I shuddered, Baryl chuckled, motioned for me to let go of the hand holding his arm, and then shouted to everyone: "Welcome to this banquet, I think many people may have doubts about this lady next to me, I am here to introduce to you - she is a beautiful lady from the East, Miss Ink Dye, she will participate in the Demon King Inheritance tomorrow, and succeed the new King Solomon!" ”
As soon as he said this, a bunch of people exploded: "Hey, did you hear that?" Humans actually want to participate in the Demon King Inheritance? "And the new King Solomon?!"
As soon as Belier waved his hand, the people below gradually quieted down, and only listened to him: "Miss Ink Dye has the Ring of Solomon, and she is the master of me and the 72 demon gods, everyone does not need to have any doubts about her identity, I have verified it myself!" All right! Have fun tonight's party! I now declare: the feast is officially open! ”
As he finished speaking, the orchestra in the corner of the hall began to play, and Berlier smiled and held out his hand to me, "Dye, will you dance with me?" ”
"I'd love to," I put my hand on his, and he led me down the steps to the middle of the hall, where the crowd gave way for us, and I asked as I walked with him, "Why don't they jump?" ”
"They have to wait until we're done jumping, that's the rule." Beryl led me to the middle, then faced me, smiled and put his arm around my waist and said, "Waltz, will you?" ”
"Hmm," I nodded, leaning closer to him, leaning back slightly, one hand on his arm, the other for him to hold
"Good posture, let's get started!" Beryl smiled and led me to the first step.............
The banquet lasted until late, and after the end of the party, Beryl sent me back to the room, and I asked him all kinds of questions along the way, and finally I knew, although Solomon's Ring was obtained by many people after Solomon's death, but those people couldn't resist the magic of the ring itself, and their minds were controlled, and they either committed suicide or died of weakness, and there were very few people who could wear it and successfully use its power, so as long as they obtained Solomon's Ring and successfully brought it to their hands, they would be recognized as the next King of Solomon, There are only a few Western monarchs in history who have obtained it, but the final result is not very good, so history is not recorded.
As for the Demon King Inheritance, it is similar to me breaking the ban and restoring contact with him after I re-concluded the contract with the Golden Crow, because the shield prohibition on the ring is a dark force, and as long as I gain more power than this power, the ban will be broken.
"So when does tomorrow start?" After sending me back to my room, I stood at the door of the guest room that had been pushed open and asked Bailier Dao, who was standing outside the door
"I'll send someone to call you tomorrow, so get some rest tonight," Beryl smiled and touched my head, then turned and left the door
"Tomorrow?" I closed the door, walked to the bed, lay down, sighed and closed my eyes, I didn't want to fall asleep so quickly, but I don't know if I drank more champagne, I always felt dizzy, and after a while, I fell asleep
