Chapter Twenty-Four: The Banquet and Part of the Truth
Wu Ming looked at his adjutant in surprise, who was also a candidate arranged for him by the Blood Clan's Ziya, a high-ranking mage...... Argonian Oranry.
Regarding this, Wu Ming also asked Ziya for the reason, the reason is very simple, the elf race is actually a race that looks at the bloodline, for example, Wu Ming is a half-human and half-ghost, this identity is actually easy to be discriminated against by the elves, and there are really not many races that can make the elves look at it, and the most suitable one in the entire business alliance is the Argonian Oranli, although it is a Yalong, but it has dragon blood, this alone is barely enough, anyway, it is Wu Ming's idea to go out and use Oranli as a microphone.
And now Oranley is the microphone.
"Is there a dinner tonight?Is the diplomatic etiquette of the Alliance, or the diplomatic etiquette of the Elven Empire?" Wu Ming asked strangely.
Oranli was still very excited about being elected as an adjutant, seeing that Wu Ming was getting higher and higher, he slowly, or slowly, or slowly in the front, and faster and faster in the back, he felt that his strength was not good, his ability was not good, or that he did not match Wu Ming's current power at all, and he always felt that he might be marginalized at any time.
Immediately Oranri said: "Yes, according to the habits and records of the Elven Empire, they usually distribute according to the other party's race, the strength of the force, and the closeness to the Elven Race, usually the more unimportant, the weaker the mission, the longer it will take to wait, according to our prior estimates, we estimate that it will be arranged to start advancing towards the Elven City on the third day, and the dinner will start today, which is absolutely abnormal." ”
In other words...... Is there a conspiracy?" Wu Ming nodded secretly, and he said to Oranri: "Then let everyone pay attention to proportion, uh, it could also be to spy on our secrets...... Do you say, is there any magic or anything like that that can uncover our secrets?"
Oranli thought for a while and said: "The magic of the elf clan ranks first among all races, what is their magic lock, the outside world has no way to speculate, maybe there is any magic that can do this, but it is absolutely impossible to be unaware, for example, I am a high-level magician, I can perceive high-level and below magic, as long as I use it, there will be fluctuations, but I may not be able to do anything about legendary magic......"
"If it's magic fluctuations, then I'm really not afraid, is there that kind of magic fluctuations that are not strong, but can spy on the secrets of our hearts?" Wu Ming asked again.
Oranli immediately shook his head and said: "This is impossible, the stronger the effect, the stronger the fluctuation, it is absolutely impossible to have that kind of effect that is extremely strong, but there is no fluctuation at all, even the super magic skill is impossible to do." ”
"That's fine, let's be careful. Wu Ming nodded.
On the other side, Iluvita was holding a golden magic scroll and caressing it carefully, and next to her, Adjutant Mirko asked, "Princess, do you really want to use this magic lock?" Although it is not an important magic lock, some of the truth is also a magic lock. ”
Iluvita said, " You also know, I have a peculiar intuition, I can feel the seriousness of the matter, although it is ineffective in the face of too high-level existence, but it is generally accurate, when he shook his head slightly, I had a strong premonition, what he thinks must be a very, very important thing, and his strength You have also experienced, rank evaluation is a meaningless thing for this kind of peerless overlord, it has not happened that the body of the non-saint general has been destroyed, ordinary truth magic, true knowledge magic, either can't affect him, or is detected by him, this is a diplomatic dispute, after all, he has the support of two holy throne highnesses behind himTo do so is to tarnish the reputation of our elves. ”
This part of the truth is actually used by many nobles and high-ranking people, and is generally used for less important banquets or pleasure occasions, similar to the kind when drunk and slightly drunk, there are many words, and there are many truths, but it is impossible to explore the things he cares about the most, the more confidential the more he can't say it, but he will say it if he feels that it is not confidential. ”
Speaking of this, Iluvita gave the scroll to Mirko and said, "When the banquet is set, use this magic scroll, and then attach some sound and light effects to cover up the fluctuations of this magic lock, its fluctuations are very slight, and the effect lasts for six hours, which is enough." ”
At that moment, Mirko didn't say anything more, and went straight to the venue to set up.
The dinner party of the elves was attended by the top celebrities, big businessmen, and some government officials in this town, and when Wu Ming waited for the delegation to come to the venue, it was estimated that there were hundreds of people in the entire venue, and in this venue there was a glimmer like sunlight, a faint fragrance, and even the sound of music that sounded automatically, but there was no band or anything like that, obviously these were all magical effects.
Wu Ming perceived and analyzed, there were indeed several field-type magic in the entire venue, but they were all small magic, and there was no kind of large-scale magic, and as soon as he felt at ease, he nodded slightly to the people behind him, and then took the lead in entering the venue.
The venue for the dinner arranged by the elves is a splendid hall, which looks similar to the ancient Greek hall of giant stone pillars, but more artistic, more beautiful, more atmospheric and magnificent, and this dinner is similar to the Western buffet, where people who enter can take food at will, and there are also attendants with wine glasses and drinks, and each has personnel talking.
At this time, Iluvita walked towards Wu Ming, she smiled and nodded slightly to Wu Ming, then turned to the elves and said, "Welcome to our honored guests, the mission from the Business Alliance. ”
These elves at the banquet clapped their hands a few times reservedly, but there was no introduction on the side, and those elves also talked in a reserved whisper, and they didn't seem to pay much attention to Wu Ming.
Wu Ming didn't feel anything, on the contrary, the lack of attention made him more comfortable, he smiled at Iluvita and nodded, and ate and drank at this banquet at will, this elven cuisine also has a different flavor, that is, the taste is too light, there is a lot of meat, but there is no chili pepper or anything......
At this time, Iluvita walked up to Wu Ming with a glass of green wine, and she smiled and said, "Mr. Wu Ming, the food of our elven clan is still to your liking, right?"
Wu Ming nodded and said casually: "The taste is okay, but it's too light, for example, the barbecue just now, it would be nice if you added some chili peppers, and the fish, just steaming is not good, if it is braised it is estimated that it will be better." ”
Iluvita nodded, as if she was trying to write down the shortcomings that Wu Ming said, the etiquette, demeanor, etc. alone were impeccable, plus she was wearing a tulle dress like a fairy robe, which was not revealing, and was unusually good-looking, just this appearance was enough to compare the women around her.
Wu Ming raised his gaze, looked at Iluvita's face and said, "The clothes are so beautiful, and the people are also beautiful. ”
Illuvita smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Wu Ming for your compliment, speaking of which, how does Mr. Wu Ming see our elves?"
Wu Ming said casually: "Big ......"
Speaking of this, his gaze shifted a little, and then he coughed: "Very good, civilization, etiquette, art, and people's happiness are all very good." ”
He actually wanted to talk about the great enemy, but he immediately woke up, after all, this is a friendly exchange, after all, it is an envoy group, and as soon as he comes, he will say that the enemy is the enemy, right?
Iluvita's face was slightly red, and she was slightly angry, but after all, she had received the best etiquette education since she was a child, so she quietly tilted her body slightly and said, "How is it compared to the business alliance?"
Wu Ming took a glass of wine from the attendant passing by at this time, he took a sip, then nodded and said, "Mint flavor, I like it...... It is definitely a hundred times better than the business alliance, whether it is from the perspective of people's livelihood, or from the degree of wealth, or social progress and development, or military strength, the size and strength of the elf empire are more than a hundred times that of the business alliance, this cannot be compared at all. ”
Iluvita smiled, she picked up the wine glass and raised it slightly to Wu Ming to show politeness, and immediately talked to Wu Ming about some customs of the Elven Empire, or food and delicacies, or the art of wine, her attitude was gentle, her voice was delicate and crisp, just listening to it made people slightly drunk, and talking to her was really like a spring breeze.
Wu Ming's original guard heart also slowly relaxed, under this kind of conversation, he also felt that these elves would really enjoy it, at least similar banquets, he really hadn't experienced it in the business alliance, of course, it was also related to the racial composition of the business alliance, aesthetically speaking, the elves were all handsome men and women in the eyes of humans, and the business alliance was of other races except for the high-class elf race and the blood clan......
Do you expect to have a relationship with a zombie lady, or do you want to have a good time with a skeleton?
Thinking of this, Wu Ming said casually: "The appearance of your elf clan is really high." ”
Iluvita was slightly stunned, she immediately understood the meaning of the word appearance, she smiled and didn't speak, she felt that it was almost the same, Wu Ming probably let down his guard, so you can ask some why he is sorry and disdainful of the elves.
Thinking of this, Iluvita took another sip of wine, thinking about how to strike from the side to bring up the topic, at this time, Wu Ming received another female attendant's wine, his gaze turned for a moment, and he raised it to the height of Iluvita's face, and continued to say casually: "Your elven clan's boobs are really big. ”
Iluvita suddenly squirted out a sip of wine, and her face was slightly red and disgusted: "Mr. Wu Ming, please respect yourself." ”
Wu Ming immediately woke up to the fact that he was indeed abrupt, it was okay to say this to the male elves, and it was not good to say this to the female elves, he immediately apologized, and said while apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm too relaxed, I like this banquet very much today, so I didn't choose to say anything at once, and told the truth...... No, it's not, it's talking nonsense and drunkenness, I'm sorry, I'm full of brains, talking nonsense...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this sentence is also nonsense. ”
Wu Ming was really embarrassed, he bowed slightly to Iluvita, turned around and hurried away.
Iluvita was embarrassed and froze in place, and it was not good to catch up, because what she said just now was too embarrassing, and it was really not like her to catch up again, but if she didn't catch up, then what was the point of this dinner?
For a moment, Iluvita was a little overwhelmed by the wind.
