An hour and a half later, when everything was ready, the grand banquet and the engagement ceremony of the princess of the Duchy of Abramo and the general of the Quds City State were about to begin in the Great Tent.

Buchen sat on a chair in the corner of the huge tent that had been rearranged, and looked at everything in front of him with a blank face, all kinds of beautifully constructed and gorgeous tables and chairs, all kinds of tableware made of gold and silver, all kinds of dressed maids and prostitutes, and so on......

He now finally understood why the tent was so big, not to place a huge sand table, or to facilitate the kings to strategize and deduce the battle situation, but simply to hold a large banquet.

However, despite the hectic appearance of the scene, those high-ranking guards still followed their king's side, not leaving an inch, so that Buchen still had no chance of success.

"Alas!" Buchen sighed.

"Sean, what's wrong with you?" Logan Tracy, who was sitting next to him, asked.

Buchen smiled bitterly, "What else?" Before my king's revenge was avenged, I married a princess, so how will I face the robes of the Holy City Kingdom in the future? ”

"I thought you were worried about something!" Logan sneered and said disapprehantly, "Since you can't face it, don't you go back?" ”

"Logan, what are you talking about?!" Buchen immediately changed his angry expression, but it was not that he was really angered by Logan's words, but when he heard this kind of words, he should show this expression, otherwise it would lead to suspicion.

Trancy looked at him and said with a mysterious expression, "Sean, do you know why Archduke Vesarion changed his attitude just now and agreed to marry Princess Natalia to you?" ”

Buchen frowned, he really didn't know. "Why?"

Trancy smiled and said, "Because he wants to keep you in the Duchy of Abramo!" ”

"But he knew it was impossible."

Trancy shook his finger, "No, I think it's quite possible, on the contrary, it's very likely!" ”

Buchen looked at him inexplicably.

"Sean." Trancy stared at Buchen fixedly, "You destroyed Rad's head before you left the Holy City, didn't you?" ”

"So what?"

"What's wrong?" Trancy sneered, "You have been impeached by the countries of the Eastern Front to the Holy See!" And since you left the Holy City Kingdom before the new king ascended the throne, the current Holy City Kingdom no longer has a place for you, that is to say, the Holy City Kingdom will not protect you, and when the Holy See's sanction order comes down, you will be disgraced or dismissed, or you will be imprisoned! ”

"How so?!" Buchen made a look of disbelief.

"Now you have to hurry up and find a new (harmony) platform. And the Principality of Abramo is this new post-(harmonious) platform. As long as you promise to stay in the Duchy of Abramo, the countries of the Eastern Front will not be able to do anything with you, even the Holy See will raise their noble hands. ”

"But what good does it do for the Archduke Vesarion? He's going to give me a daughter! ”

Trancy shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Sean, you despise your own worth too much. You are not only a rare tenth-level elemental knight in the world, but also a general, and most importantly, you are a loyal and upright person, with a pillar of the country like you as your son-in-law, Grand Duke Vissarion will wake up laughing in his dreams! ”

"I see." Now Buchen finally understood the reason for the sudden change in the attitude of the Grand Duke of Vissarion.

"Sean, stay! It's a mutually beneficial thing. Logan Trancy said sincerely.

Buchen nodded, if he was Sean Sterling, the matter had come to this point, and there was no choice. It's not about loyalty, because the Kingdom of Al-Quds has turned its back on him first. And the people of the Western Continent have never had a tradition of foolishness, loyalty, and filial piety.

"You're right, Logan!"

After a quarter of an hour, the grand engagement feast officially began.

Holding hands with Princess Natalia, who had already changed into a luxurious dress, he walked to the statue of the Goddess of Creation, which had just been placed in the center of the tent, and then they placed engagement rings on each other under the guidance of the priest.

But for some reason, Buchen had a sense of déjà vu when he looked at the statue of the goddess of creation, but he didn't remember that he had ever seen the goddess Messiah, which puzzled him.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Buchen has seen a statue of a goddess of equal proportions.

After the ceremony, the banquet began.

Except for the kings who sat under the statues of the goddesses, the aristocratic officers who attended the banquet gathered in groups of three or five, holding wine glasses or pastries in their hands, standing or sitting, eating and drinking while talking, while the waiters carried the plates like butterflies wearing flowers and went from small groups to refill the cups or serve food to the dignitaries.

Buchen sat with his fiancée Natalia and his cheap friend Logan Tracy and chatted happily, Natalia often asked about some marches and battles, and Buchen and Logan took turns answering her, and when it came to something intense or funny, it always made Natalia have an admiring look in her eyes, or a trembling laugh.

Although his fiancée is a little too arrogant and less reserved of the royal family, Buchen likes it very much, because this is his true temperament.

And, to be honest, being adored by a beautiful woman or something, Buchen still enjoys this feeling.

More than half an hour passed.

At this moment, Natalia suddenly pointed to the middle of the giant tent and shouted.

"Look, dear! Earl Hunter is going to perform a spell! ”

Although the title of "dear" is a bit numb, Buchen still accepts it calmly, after all, this girl is already his fiancée.

Well, not for a few days though......

Buchen raised his eyes to look at Natalia's finger, and saw a middle-aged man who had already bowed to the middle of the banquet hall, and he first bowed to the kings sitting under the statue of the goddess, and then began to perform.

"Whew!"

He drew a semicircle in the sky with his hand, and half a ring of fire immediately appeared, and then he put two fingers in front of his mouth, and blew lightly like a whistle, and a long wave of fire gushed out between his fingers!

"Wow, that's great!" All the nobles present, including Natalia, clapped their hands.

The Earl of Hunt smirked, and his hands spun rapidly as if kneading dough, and in a few moments a fist-sized ball of fire was formed out of nothing, and then he slapped it like a balloon, and the ball of fire flew upwards and came to rest above his head.

"Smack!"

Earl Hunter snapped his fingers, and the fireball burst open, sending sparks flying in all directions like a salute.

But the spark, though it seemed to fly far away, did not light anything, not even the head of Earl Hunter beneath it, which was unexpectedly a crystal clear ice helmet appeared on Earl Hunt's head.

Seeing this scene, the audience immediately screamed and cheered.

Count Hunter smiled like a flower and bowed in circles to the audience.

"Sean, wonderful, right?!" Logan asked.

Natalia also turned back to Zhen, looking at Buchen expectantly.

However, the expression on Buchen's face disappointed them, and this product was indifferent at all.

"Wonderful?" Buchen pursed his lips, "Is this exciting?" ”

"Doesn't it count?" Princess Natalia asked incredulously.

Buchen said arrogantly: "That's nature. This kind of performance is too low-end, it's just a street style. ”

Isn't it? Buchen remembers that in his previous life, he often saw similar scenes in TV and movies, but they were all tricks played by street artists.

"Street style?!"

"Sean Sterling actually said that Earl Hunt's skills are street style?!"

"Sterling, you're too arrogant, aren't you?"

At this moment, a group of nobles not far from him suddenly made a noise, and it was obvious that they had heard what Buchen had just said.

Hearing their words, the other nobles also turned around in unison and turned their angry gazes at Buchen. Among them, the face of the Earl of Hunt was particularly ugly.

In good conscience, it is extremely rare that Earl Hunter can control the terrible destruction magic to such an arm-and-finger level, which is both performative and non-harmful. However, who made him meet Buchen who was tired of watching all kinds of ingenious magic shows?

"That's right, it's streetwear." Buchen still said with an unchanged face.

"Sean, watch your words." Grand Duke Vesarion reprimanded that he was now a quasi-father-in-law who was not a minister, so he could naturally reprimand him.

Buchen smiled and looked at the nobles: "Do you want to see a more exciting performance?" ”

"More spectacular performances? Sterling, there is a price to be paid for speaking big! A nobleman said angrily.

"Big talk? I'm not talking big! Buchen glanced at the man, and said in a light tone, "If you don't believe it, I'll show it to you!" ”

"Let him perform!"

"I'd like to see how he outsmarts Earl Hunter!"

"That's right, if he loses, he has to apologize to Earl Hunter!"

The aristocrats shouted.

Queen Isabella looked at the nobles who feared that the world would not be chaotic in disgust, but she still agreed to their request: "Sean Sterling, then you can put on a show!" ”

Buchen nodded, "My performance is more professional, and I need to use props, please allow me to prepare it." ”

Queen Isabella said expressionlessly, "Accurate." ”

Buchen bowed to the kings. Without saying a word, he walked out of the tent.

The nobles watched him go, except for Logan and Natalia, everyone's eyes were full of schadenfreude, just a martial artist, unless the sun came out in the west, how could he be better than Count Hunter, who specialized in magic performances?

But what they didn't know was that Buchen was already excited and about to jump up at this time, and his current steady steps were completely pretending to be his best!

There is no other reason, whether the assassination of the Eight Kings can be successful depends on the performance of the prop.

"I'm a genius!" Buchen said with a wild laugh in his heart.
