Chapter 235: Joint Vision
The prince was so polite and considerate of others everywhere, which really made the sense of resistance on Erin's face weaken a lot, she blinked her eyes and introduced herself generously: "Erin. Feng. Tarrens, Free Lancer Warrior. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Sure enough, it's you! I guessed right! Leorik said happily: "I have asked the best chef of Ifrit to prepare a sumptuous dinner and a good wine, please go and get in the car!" With that, Leorik flicked his golden robe, turned slightly and pointed behind him, where hundreds of carrier-based vehicles were already up and running.
The Dragon Star Pirate Regiment was so thoughtful that the Free Lancers were very useful, although the two sides met for the first time, but on the way to the restaurant by car, they had already begun to laugh and laugh, hook their shoulders, and get to know each other, Leorick thoughtfully asked a female driver to carry Erin alone, but he took another car and did not ride together.
Erin felt that this was fine, along the way, she could just concentrate on the miscellaneous matters in her heart, and when the banquet was later, she could better put forward the wishes and requirements of the Free Lancers with Leoric, of course, including Erin's own wishes and requirements.
The journey was not short, at a speed of 60km/h, it took 20 minutes to arrive at the splendid reception restaurant, which shows the scale of the base of the Longxing Pirate Group.
Inside the dining room, Erin couldn't tell that this was somewhere in the Starry Sky Base, and that the dining room was decorated to the specifications of the Grimm royal banquet parlor, with the ceiling and four walls all made of expensive stone inlays, an expensive red velvet carpet on the floor, dozens of long solid wood tables, and a condescending round table at the innermost end of the hall.
Those who know the goods will know that only Eureka Star can produce such a thick wood - the table top is cut directly from the trunk of a tree, and there are 700 annual rings all over it, which clearly shows that it is a table made of a 700-year-old tree.
Leorik's men enthusiastically arranged for more than 100 free lancers to sit at random on the left and right sides of the three long tables, while the prince himself waited patiently at the foot of the steps for Erin to pass through the crowd, and the two would sit at the sky-high round table for dinner.
"Ladies first!" Leorik owed, and Erin nodded, raising her legs and striding up the steps.
At the same time, a large number of Xueman maids walked out of the side courtyard with trays of dishes, and those dressed in gold placed the dishes in their hands on the round table of the ancient tree, while those dressed in silver sent the dishes to the 100-meter-long long table.
After Erin and Leorik had finished walking the stairs one after the other, the maids had finished serving, and all the hot dishes were still steaming!
Leorik walked behind Erin on his left, his wide golden cloak dragging the ground very eye-catching, he was a prince, but the Erin he was escorting, like a noble princess, was on her way to the main table.
When the two walked to the round table, Leorick also thoughtfully pulled a chair for Erin, and after Erin sat down, he followed the two female pirates next to him and sat on the other side, this arrangement was also just right, if Leorick and Erin were a man and a woman, sitting and eating together, it would be a little embarrassing.
The free lancers on the long table under the high platform couldn't stand the persuasion, they had already put a large chunk of Duo Ji on it, the food was delicious and abundant, and these people who came from afar were already hungry!
Erin glanced at the table full of dishes, many of which she couldn't even tell what they were.
"It can be seen that these ingredients are very valuable, and the prince is so polite!" At a distance of 10 meters, Erin said from afar.
Leorik waved his hand and said, "It's just a vegetarian dish, I hope these dishes can relieve everyone's fatigue a little... But, dear ma'am, please don't call me a prince anymore, I'm Leoric, and I have nothing to do with the royal family of Grimm. ”
Leorik spoke calmly and forcefully, and the dishes of the Dragon Star Pirate Regiment were really delicious. Erin stubbornly felt that the reason why this pirate group was able to establish the largest pirate alliance in the Ifrit galaxy must have something to do with their excellent food.
Erin was born in a small aristocratic family, and since she was a child, she learned to judge the inner nature of a group through food culture, not only Leorick himself, but even on the long table under the high platform, the pirates also ate politely, without a trace of chaos, this must be the result of Leoric's usual control, and the binding force and execution of the Dragon Star Pirate Group can be seen.
Erin took a small bite of the fragrant suckling pork, the refreshing pineapple soup and the expensive foie gras with caviar, although she was not particularly interested in the aspect of eating, but Erin had to admit that the dishes in front of her were really delicious.
She only tasted five or six dishes, and it would take a lot of time to try the hundred or so dishes in front of her one by one, so Erin controlled her tongue and put down her knives, forks and cutlery, without this concentration, she would not be able to climb to the position of senior colonel.
She decided to take this opportunity to share her thoughts and the thoughts of her superiors.
And Leoric's attention has been on Erin, as if waiting for her to speak.
"Mr. Leorik." This time, Erin didn't call him a prince again: "You say that you have nothing to do with the royal family, but the bloodline is dissolved in the genes, how can it be erased?" ”
"Forgive me, dear Lady Irene, I don't say that because I'm a ruthless person." Leorik said with a smile: "On the contrary, I am very emotional, but it is precisely because of this that I have such a deep hatred for my family!" ”
"The battle for the crown prince seems to be the most cruel and fierce form of struggle in the whole universe, and my siblings will not hesitate to put me to death for the throne...", Leorik paused, and continued: "But I escaped alive, and I feel that in the nebula, it is ten thousand times better to be a free pirate than to be a prince." ”
"Don't you want to take revenge on them?" Erin asked.
Leorik glanced at Erin, not caring about the sharpness of the question, and replied, "Of course, I want revenge in my dreams, I want revenge on my brother, I want revenge on the Emperor of the Grimm Cluster, because what they did, forced my own mother to death. ”
Erin didn't expect Leoric to answer so fluently, as if it was an answer she had thought of in advance, she blinked her eyes and said to Leoric: "... I beg your pardon, my question is so unreasonable. ”
"Don't take it to heart, if I can't figure it out, I won't be able to sit and eat face to face with you." Leorik's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table and said, "I chose Ifrit for another reason besides the relative safety and privacy of this place for me. ”
"What is the reason?"
"For a 'down-and-out prince', it seems a little easier to unify the Nebula Pirates." Leorik leaned forward slightly and said to Erin, "If I can climb to the top of Ifrit and rule all the starry pirates in the Nebula, I will have enough power to take revenge on the Grimm royal family!" ”
"Haven't you already reached the top of Ifrit?"
"Not really." Leorik leaned back in his chair, raised a hand and said, "The strength of the Dragon Star Pirate Alliance is not enough to control Ifrite, and the White Widow Pirate Alliance is our biggest competitor. ”
"What about the Aurelia Pirates?"
"Forgive me for being unreasonable, I... I didn't pay attention to the pirate group that had disappeared for many years and suddenly appeared. Leorik said with a smile.
Erin nodded, thinking in her heart, things are going better than expected, Leorik has a will to unify Ifrit in his heart! He was a very leader and politically inclined to the Free Lancers - and he was also an opponent of the Grimm monarchy.
"You Free Lancers have established their own independent kingdom, and if Ifrit can unite and declare independence, then we can join forces to attack the Pegasus system?" Leorik said, "That's the purpose of your trip, isn't it?" ”
Erin nodded, the prince was thoughtful, and she no longer hid it: "My immediate commander has assigned me a task that must be completed - he wants Mr. Leorik to accept the title of Free Lancer and become an honorary member. ”
"I'm very willing, I've already said before, I'm no longer a prince, but a 'free man'." Leorik nodded and said, "I've wanted to join the Freelancers for a long time. ”
Erin didn't know if what he was saying was polite or sincere, this man had done too much work on the surface, and he was not at all different from the young man in Fuwei.
Erin had met with Foway, the boy had everything written on his face, and his words gave people a sense of trust, and although Leoric was polite and could not find fault with anything, Erin felt that he could not grasp the truth of his words.
"As long as your heart is free, you are a free lancer." Erin nodded and said, "Mr. Leoric, I have a suggestion, I wonder if I can bring it up to you?" This is my personal recommendation. ”
"Please." Leorik waved his hand gracefully.
"I suggest that the Dragon Star Pirate Alliance join forces with the Aurelia Pirate Alliance to unify Ifrit."
"Very good advice."
Erin frowned slightly, she felt very bad about this way of answering, agreeing is agreeing, refusing is refusal, and the ambiguity is really worrying.
"I just don't know if the Aurelia Pirates will agree." Leorik picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said, "I think we should at least meet with that Ifrit third-generation pirate before making a decision, what if they don't want to?" Right? ”
"You have a point." Erin coped with it, but in her heart she hoped that the banquet would end soon.
After a banquet, the situation in the Ifrit Nebula will surely change dramatically.
