Chapter 122: The Banquet
Since the witch hunter's residence was burned down by a fire, everything seems to have been calm in the past few days, nothing new has happened, the news from Chape's side, Radovid's side has not taken any action for the time being, and nine times out of ten they want to investigate the truth of the matter before making plans.
However, there was no movement on Radovid's side, but Adam's father, another bishop, came to Novigre in person with a group of people, and it seemed that he attached great importance to the cooperation with Chape, and in order to welcome the other party, Chapee specially held a banquet, and the location was directly placed on the temple island, so it can be said that without the group of nuisance witch hunters, Chapei has a lot less worries.
"Do any of you want to go to tonight's banquet?"
Zhang Lin took a gilded invitation and asked everyone in the house, probably out of gratitude, Cha Pei specially sent someone to send this invitation and invited Zhang Lin and them to attend the banquet.
"I'm busy." Mia wasn't fiddling with her robot, but was reading a thick book, not knowing what she was busy about, but judging by the fact that she was too lazy to dress up, she probably didn't want to go out at all.
And Triss didn't know what to think, and finally decided to ask Mia for advice, and at this time she was also sitting next to her, holding a pen in one hand and a very basic math textbook in the other, asking Mia from time to time, and Mia did not look impatient, it seems that the two get along quite well.
Because on the day she was captured, Triss was still in a mess of the witch hunters in Novigre's small house, so in the name of studying, she simply stayed here, and because of Ciri, Zhang Lin didn't ask her for any rent or anything like that.
Zhang Lin set his eyes on Feng Yan again, but she said that she was not interested in the banquet or anything at all, it was better to stay here to cultivate, and get rid of a cultivation madman, in addition to cultivation, that is, to fight with her to be more interested.
Ciri and Emma said that there was something at night, and both of them looked mysterious, anyway, in the past few days, I often saw her running outside at night, and I didn't know what she was doing, and Zhang Lin didn't bother to ask.
In the end, Alice climbed up to Zhang Lin along the sofa, pulled his clothes and asked, "Master, is there anything delicious at the banquet?" ”
Zhang Lin nodded, after all, it was a banquet made by a big man like Cha Pei, so it would not be too shabby.
With the purpose of eating delicious food, Alice became the only one who accompanied Zhang Lin to the banquet.
The interior of the main church on the temple island looks resplendent in gold, and the former bishop, who has obviously become a past, has put a lot of thought into this, and it looks like it is comparable to the palace, and although the scale of the banquet is not very large, it is still very carefully arranged.
Except for the people brought by Adam's father, Bishop Rachel, there were not many people on Novigre's side, mainly some high-ranking members of the church who were trusted by Chappei, as well as some important characters in the city council who had firmly supported him for many years, and some "escorts" who seemed to be professionally trained, although they wore aristocratic clothes and behaved very decently, but in fact they were not guests at the banquet, but more to maintain the atmosphere of the banquet and ensure the safety of the people at the banquet.
When Zhang Lin brought a little girl like Alice in, most of the people showed a strange expression, except for some who had drunk in the tavern and recognized them, the rest basically didn't know what the origin of this big and small combination was, and it was the first time to bring children to the banquet.
"Eh, I'm really not used to this kind of scene." Zhang Lin sighed.
"To be honest, I don't like that either." Adam's voice came from the side, different from the look he had seen at the Witch Hunter's Quarters, when Adam was wearing a red and white priest's robe, looking very writhing.
Zhang Lin looked at Adam: "Aren't you a witch hunter?" Why did you wear such a dress? ”
"Actually, I don't want to, even if I wear a knight's armor, I think it's more comfortable than wearing this, but my father said that I am out of that organization now, so I will become a church member again." Adam shrugged his shoulders and said that he was helpless, "But if the church in Novigre separates, there will be plans to re-establish the Knights of the church, and I will be the first members at that time." ”
Alice glanced at Adam's clothes, remembered the missionary who had been cleaned by herself, and directly dropped a comment: "Change it quickly, it's so ugly." ”
Hearing little Lori say this, it made Adam embarrassed for a while, after all, he himself felt that this body was not good-looking, so it was not easy to refute anything, on the one hand, it was not good to worry about children, and on the other hand, he was afraid that what he said would make Little Lori unhappy and reward him with a big fireball.
However, Alice also said this casually, and quickly paid attention to the table full of food, pulling the corner of Zhang Lin's clothes and asking when the meal would start.
Zhang Lin patted Alice's little head, "Don't worry, the rules of the general banquet have to be said by the organizer first, and the dinner can only be started when the guests' appetites are almost tormented." ”
"We don't want this." Adam wondered if Zhang Lin had any misunderstanding about this kind of banquet.
"Oh, so it's ready to eat now?"
"Yes."
As soon as the words fell, Adam watched with a confused look as Zhang Lin ran to a table with Alice's hand, and casually picked up a large piece of barbecue meat and handed it to Alice.
When Adam approached, he saw that little Lori had eaten a few bites and handed the barbecue to Zhang Lin's mouth: "Master, this taste is different from your roast, but it is also delicious, if you learn this, I can eat one more flavor." ”
Adam didn't expect that the two of them really came to the banquet just to eat, shook his head helplessly, and then walked to the other side.
After a while, Adam returned, and there was a middle-aged man in a white robe, who looked a little old.
"Hello, Your Excellency, thank you for sparing my son during your actions the other day." The white-robed old man bowed slightly, even though Zhang Lin still had a piece of honey croissant in his mouth after hearing his words, he still maintained a smiling expression.
Obviously, this is Adam's father, Bishop Raychel, Zhang Lin glanced at Adam strangely, I don't know how Adam explained to his father, after all, if it wasn't Adam who ran fast at that time, he was probably blown up by Mia.
So Zhang Lin also said a few perfunctory words casually, and Bishop Rechel saw that Zhang Lin didn't mean to talk much, and left with Adam without saying much, and did not continue to disturb Zhang Lin and Little Lori.
Although many guests at the banquet were a little surprised by these two guys who started eating as soon as they came, no one interfered, so there was no chance for Zhang Lin to pretend to be slapped in the face.
But not long after, Zhang Lin suddenly smelled a slight smell of blood, at first he thought it was not the barbecue on the table that was not cooked, but soon found out that it was not, the smell of blood came from outside.
Just then, a scream rang out.
