By the time Sue arrived, the procedures inherent in the birthday party had already been carried out for most of the time, the speeches, wishes, and cake cutting had passed, and it was time for the buffet dinner. Fashionable women with fragrant sideburns and polite men shuttle and talk to each other, engaging in a game of hypocrisy that has existed since the old times.

The make-up process took longer than expected, and the assistants chattered and made up for Su Wei's etiquette knowledge, and finally, Su was told that he had to take a car instead of running to the bell hall on his own legs. The stern old woman, who was close to fifty years old and had never seen a smile on her face, told Su in no uncertain terms that it was absolutely forbidden to exercise in Dragon City on all fours.

Even Su, who has always been indifferent, is very depressed at this time. However, since this old woman was one of Persephone's most powerful subordinates, there was nothing surprising to know her fighting style, which of course included Sue's most powerful and effective way of moving.

The road system of Longcheng is not very perfect, the overall design is mainly for military purposes, taking into account some of the life purposes, there is no problem in peacetime, but in the special situation of today's traffic concentration it is cramped, and at this time the area near the bell auditorium is a rare traffic jam. Looking at the speed of the turtle crawling, Sue, who was silently calculating the time, was inevitably anxious, speaking of which, he hadn't seen Persephone for a long time. With a distance of one kilometer, it would not take him a minute to get out of the car, but the current speed is probably twenty minutes. But this idea was directly stifled by the gaze of the old woman sitting next to her! She sat next to Sue, keeping an eye on Su, her awl-like gaze searching for signs of his indecency.

Leigh, who sat across from her, looked at Sue with some schadenfreude, while Sally struggled to hide her snicker, and Rigore, who was rarely cleaned up, her neatly trimmed beard bringing out the charm of a mature man.

The moment he entered the auditorium, Sue took in the whole scene in the auditorium, and after a tense and complicated analysis, he concluded that it was the time to take the meal freely, so he whispered his judgment to Li and Rigolei, took the glass of champagne brought by the waiter, and walked to the dining tables on both sides.

This time, Su's ** and accurate judgment finally won a slightly approving look from the old woman.

The distance leading to the dining table was not long, but Sue had a hard time. From the moment he entered the door, a small area of the door fell silent, and almost everyone stopped moving, and their eyes fell on Sue's body, and it immediately became hot! Most of the eyes cast over are undisguised, and they are also mixed with jealousy and hatred. The bad thing is that among those eyes full of **, women certainly make up the majority, but there are also quite a few men.

Sue's ears twitched imperceptibly, filtering through all kinds of clutter, and taking in the whispers of people within twenty meters of her surroundings. And it is recorded in different categories, and it corresponds to the people who are swept from the corner of the eye. This effect can only be achieved by completely passive detection combined with superior data processing power, and it is not well known.

Su was vaguely uneasy about this party, so he wanted to collect as much information as possible, just in case. He wasn't wrong, but the results weren't very pleasant.

"This little guy, his name is Sue, it's so cute!" The voice belonged to some old man with snow-white hair.

"Yes, if you dress up, maybe it's no worse than Persephone! Hey, it's really eye-catching. Desperately trying to lower his voice, but clearly still unable to control the volume, it was a man who was also old and obviously out of control of his weight and volume.

There are many similar conversations, and the whispers between women are no less than those of men, and even more so. There was also a shortage of young girls with hot bodies and beautiful faces who were directly interested, and they stopped directly in front of Su generously, their faces full of hints that they wanted him to bump into him.

Su quietly moved to the side, but found that the two girls who had stopped him had also moved their positions and continued to block his way. Looking at their fire-breathing eyes, it was obvious that they wanted to swallow Sue in one gulp.

It was Persephone's birthday party, and almost everyone knew about Sue's relationship with Persephone, but most of the young girls present were children of large families, they were young, flamboyant, and presumptuous, and did not take Persephone seriously, or at least were not afraid of her. In their opinion, it would be great if they could snatch Su over as a protector, and their family would definitely support it, even if it didn't work, it would be good to be able to taste him.

Originally, this was an era of flooding.

Su moved two more steps, but found that his space was getting smaller and smaller, and unless he used his ability to flash out, he would be caught between the two girls. However, at the party, using a qiē ability that is beyond the scope of ordinary humans is a great faux pas and offense to all the big people, which is something that the old woman has told her countless times. Without such constraints, ultra-visual composite imaging capabilities such as ultra-tactile and fluoroscopy are not the only ones that Su can do. If someone used this ability against Persephone or other noble ladies, it would of course end in a big fight.

Just when Su was in retreat, the girl on the left had already pasted her whole body up, her body was amazingly hot, and she did not hide the fact that she was not wearing underwear under the thin evening dress, Su clearly felt a ball of elastic, plump and flexible objects rubbing back and forth on her left arm, and the protrusion at the top was even stiff and full of touch. After succeeding, one of her left legs was slightly cocked, and she came up quietly, and the girl on the right also took this opportunity to occupy a favorable position, seeing that Su had nowhere to escape.

"Two young ladies, can you let me go?" Sue asked politely.

"Major Su, don't you want us to have a drink?" What he got was not the answer he wanted.

At this time, Su suddenly sensed a wave of attention on herself, turned her head to look, and just saw Persephone in the crowd in the distance looking over, but she had no intention of relieving Su, but blinked imperceptibly, and turned to greet an old man who had just walked into the auditorium.

"Dear Uncle William, why are you here too?" Persephone smiled sincerely and hugged the old man with a calm and graceful manner.

The old man named William laughed and said, "Fanny, this is your fault, how can you not inform me of such a lively matter?" I hurried all afternoon, but it was not too late, and I didn't even prepare a special dress. ”

The old man smiled heartily, but the atmosphere in the auditorium was a little strange. The guests all consciously stepped back to either side, leaving room for the old man and Persephone. Everyone's expressions were stern, and no one echoed the old man's laughter.

After a few laughs, the old man said, "I didn't come alone this time, my useless nephew also came, and he still wants to see you." I told him a long time ago that no matter what means he uses, of course, it is best to use violent means to get you on the subject, then I will give him the qualification of the first heir, and at the same time give you the qualification of the second in line of succession. As for your father and the old men of Arthur's house, I'll take care of it. It's a big deal to fight for this old life. He didn't even blink his eyes when he said the word violent means, and his tone and even the speed of his speech did not change at all.

Persephone smiled brightly, as if not noticing the slightest inappropriateness, as if she had taken the old man's words as a mere compliment: "Uncle William, I have been giving him a chance!" It's just that he has had bad luck in the past few years. ”

The old man smiled, and suddenly shouted: "Say you!" What are you still doing standing outside the door? ”

Outside the auditorium, a man with a somewhat calm and somewhat wooden face walked up to Persephone, bowed slightly, and said politely, "Long time no see, beautiful Miss Fanny, I wonder if you have forgotten me." ”

Persephone replied with a perfect gesture: "It's been less than a year since we last met, how can I forget the famous General Ludendorff?" ”

The conversation between the old man and Persephone was shocking, and the two of them looked relaxed and natural, but some of the guests in the auditorium changed their faces. This group of people is old and young, male and female, but the common point is that they all exude a rough and fierce atmosphere, they are all dragoons from the northern battlefield, and the Dragon City dragoons who pay attention to appearance and etiquette are obviously different. These people were all impressed by Persephone's charm and achievements in the long war, plus the two great knights were injured one by one, and the Holy Radiance Crusader suffered heavy losses after greatly shrinking the front, giving up many strategic points, and the strategic situation in the north was greatly improved, so they had the opportunity to follow Persephone to Dragon City for sightseeing.

At this time, the old man stared at Persephone with blazing eyes, and his burning gaze could not be said to be kind or anything else, he did not care about the feelings of many people present, and said bluntly: "Now that you have been swept away by the Arthur family, why don't you come and be my goddaughter!" I directly designate you as the first heir, and after I am **, the family will be yours. However, there is one condition, that is, after you, the inheritor of the family must have the blood of the family. ”

As soon as the old man said this, the guests could no longer care about the etiquette and started to talk loudly.

Schfenberg. William, as the current head of the William family, has been an iron-blooded man for twenty years, and with his skill and control over the family, the idea of appointing a foreigner to inherit the William family, which seems strange in other families, is entirely possible to become a reality. For this mention, presumably the William family must have accounted for the vast majority of people who wanted to oppose it, but no one dared to bring it up, even if they showed a little disagreement, at least not when he was alive.

Persephone laughed shallowly, her smile refreshing, she glanced at Ludendorff who was standing next to her and asked, "Uncle thinks too highly of me, aren't you afraid of the opposition of the members of the William family?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "The opposition is invalid!" ”

Persephone's eyes wandered, and Tian Tian said lightly: "Then what do you mean, do you want me to choose Ludendorff as my protector, or choose another one from the William family?" ”

Szefenberg shook his head and said, "It doesn't have to be. I'm not going to restrain you on the man side, you can bring Sue in. He can also join the family if he wishes. ”

"Such good conditions?" Persephone's eyes lit up, as if she had begun to move.

The old man laughed and scolded: "When did what I say not count?" Okay, you young people play slowly, I finally came to Dragon City once, and I'm going to talk to a few old guys. Ludendorff, you can stay here. ”

The small episode passed quickly, but it was tantamount to a depth charge, which made all the dignitaries of Dragon City uneasy. Oberen stood by the window, gently shaking the glass in his hand in a constant rhythm. But anyone with great eyesight will notice that Oberen's hand is trembling very slightly.

What does Sfenberg want to do?

Although Persephone's genius is unquestionable, she also has experience in the affairs of the Arthur family, and she does it well. But to hand over the William family to her in this way must be insane. From Persephone's point of view, this is a good opportunity, without Arthur's support, she can at least save a lot of troubles other than force. As for the bloodline of the Arthur family on her, it doesn't matter, the status of the female ** in the family in this era is almost negligible, and the continuation of the bloodline only depends on men, which is no different from the old era hundreds of years ago.

Persephone should have accepted the offer, Oberen's sanity thought. However, the thought of Persephone joining the William family made his chest throb. It's not just his emotions, it's mixed with some occult throbbing.

At the other end of the auditorium, Sue was a little clumsy but not rude to deal with the two girls who had kidnapped him, no, seven or eight now, and answered strange questions with a little smugness. The girls obviously wanted to dismantle him at first, but now they didn't seem to be in a hurry, this man's way of talking and acting was completely different from the men around them, and it was very interesting to say a few more words. However, Sue's thoughts were not here, and the conversation between Sfenberg and Persephone just now reached his ears almost word for word.

Su is very calm on the surface now, and has been smiling charmingly, but deep in his heart, it is like a flame hidden in it, and it is getting more and more intense!

What did Ludendorff do to Persephone?

This question is like a fork soaked in salt water, and it keeps ripping Sue's heart. Although it seems that Ludendorff did not succeed in the content of the dialogue, he can do whatever he wants to do against Persephone, and that is enough! Ludendorff was promoted to Major General earlier than Persephone, and without help, Sue didn't think he was capable of attacking Persephone, who had become a Major General, and these things could only happen when she was younger and had a lower rank.

The fire melted the ice deep in Su's heart and transformed it into thick, solidified magma that lingered silently in Sue's heart.

Just when Su had nothing to vent, suddenly a few empty tentacles reached over and stroked Su's spiritual body. This feeling is like being arbitrarily manipulated by a stranger. Sue was almost immediately alert that someone was probing him with his sentience. Prior to possessing the ability of psychic induction, Sue would most of the time develop an alertness similar to that of an unknown danger when detected, but with psychic induction, this feeling immediately became clearer and more concrete. Sue has even been able to discern several of the most common detection capabilities.

Sue was used to being probed, but tonight was different, like a naughty and ignorant child, lifting the veil that shrouded the crater.

The volcano erupted without warning!

Almost instinctively, Su stirred up all the anger, unwillingness, wildness, murderous intent, and a bit of negative emotion, and burst out in a way that he couldn't even comprehend, viciously blasting towards a few wisps of probing energy that still refused to be withdrawn!

Bang bang bang! Like a small storm blowing in the corner of the auditorium, seven or eight delicate wine glasses burst at the same time, and the rich red wine sprayed the master's body, and even his face was splashed a lot. Not only did red wine run down their cheeks, but a few of them also had dark red nosebleeds, apparently not lightly hurt.

Because the girls around Su were too close, they were more or less affected by the energy hedge, and they were dizzy and a little unstable. But the real blow was still the few people who used their abilities to detect Su.

For a while, everyone's eyes were on this corner! Most of the guests in the auditorium possessed high-level abilities, how could they not feel such an obvious collision of powers? When someone had the heart to detect Su, people with high-level abilities already knew about it, but etiquette made them just act as if nothing had happened. No one thought that Su would brazenly fight back openly, and what surprised them even more was not Su's strength to hit several people at the same time, but the strange ruthlessness of the counterattack force was very different from his usual gentle and taïve appearance. And except for a few people, almost no one knows exactly what method Su used to fight back!

Su Wudaunt looked around with countless extremely sharp gazes, taking in all the people who had probed him. His pupils dilate and shrink rapidly, like a lens that can zoom freely. Anyone who is locked by his left eye can't help but feel creepy!

At this moment, a low-ranking dragoon with a pale face suddenly fell straight down. The person who knew him next to him was taken aback and exclaimed, "Just! Lieutenant Just, what's wrong with you? ”

Su glanced indifferently at the lieutenant named Just, and ignored it. This guy has a very special way of sensing and detecting, and his locking ability is the strongest among the people who have been taught by Su, so he has the most fierce counterattack. However, his physical strength and ability were the worst among all, so he was directly stunned by Sue's **. For the lieutenant who fell to the ground, Su had a lingering sense of déjà vu, but he was sure that he had not seen him.

Because of Just's fall, there was a small * chaos in the auditorium. The attendants and servants quickly carried Justt down for treatment, he was obviously an ordinary dragoon with no power behind him, and the situation quickly calmed down. Although this skirmish was not provoked by Su, people's views and evaluations of the situation varied. An old man nearby, who was obviously from a big family, said coldly: "Major Su, are people from the wilderness as rude and arrogant as you?" ”

Su did not pay attention to accusations and provocations, and silence was a better way to deal with it at this time. And he didn't have time to pay attention to it, the girls around him who were somewhat affected not only didn't care, but looked at Su with more wild eyes, and the originally relaxed and funny scene quickly became intense. Not only in Dragon City, but everywhere in this era, absolute power is the object of crazy worship and fear.

Just when Su was about to lose control of the scene, an old man in casual clothes came over, smiled at the girls who had begun to reach out and touch Su, and said, "Little ones with excess energy, wait a while and make trouble." Now I have something to say to your new prey. ”

Although the girls from the family are not afraid of heaven and earth, they all know Josh of the Dark Dragoon. Admiral Morgan, so he didn't dare to entangle anymore and dispersed one after another.

"Sue, accompany me to the balcony for a drink, it's too noisy here."

Sue followed Admiral Morgan to the side balcony. The balcony is surprisingly wide, and each stone pillar has intricate and ornate carvings, but with the erosion of time and wind and frost, only a little bit of the style of the year can be seen now. The balcony railing is full of vines and plants that are not afraid of the cold, and it has been restored to the style of the old era.

Morgan rested his elbows on the guardrail, staring at the deep night sky. In the old days, you could see the sea all the way from here, but now ordinary people can only see a dozen meters away at most. He held a glass of wine and shook it gently and seemingly inadvertently, and the wine kept spinning.

"Sue, I heard that the last mission made you feel very unpleasant?" General Morgan asked, seemingly casually.

Su's eyebrows bent slightly, and he considered the words and said, "Although Kari is old, he is also a warrior, so it's nothing to kill him." It's just that I didn't expect him to live with his daughter. ”

Morgan laughed and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me. That's right, I know that Kari lives with his daughter, and the mission is to kill Kari and Karena together. The people who killed Kari's son-in-law and grandson back then were also sent by me, but I didn't expect Kari to come back in time at that time, and he still had some ability to hide. After that, it took me many years to find him again. Steel Kari's ability to cut off perception is constantly increasing, but he didn't expect that I would vigorously explore talents in the Dark Dragoon and find a young man with a sixth-order mysterious perception, so as to find him again. ”

Su frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. The grievances of these older generations seem to be complicated, and he doesn't know the reason for them, so it's not easy to judge them lightly. Morgan's pursuit touched Sue's boundaries slightly, but in this day and age, it was a normal thing.

Morgan was a little surprised by Sue's silence, he looked at Sue, nodded slightly, and said, "It's hard to say that hatred is a thing. In your opinion, what I did to Kari was excessive, especially since his daughter had lost her mind, and it wouldn't be a big deal to let her go. But ......"

Josh. Morgan was silent for a few seconds, every wrinkle on his face seemed to be shining with a metallic luster, and he said slowly, immersed in the memories of the year: "In the accident of that year, it was precisely because of the fact that Kari, who was tasked with blocking the enemy's reinforcements, left the battle that our group of old brothers fought six. From the day I came back alive from the battlefield, I swore that I would use all the cruel means on him and kill all his blood! ”

Sue was still silent, he didn't know what the change meant, and he didn't understand why Kari left the battle suddenly. If Morgan doesn't say it, then it's better not to know about it.

Josh. Morgan suddenly laughed and said, "Alas, sure enough, when people get old, they talk more, haha! Back then, only a few of us old guys still cared about those things, how could you young people be interested? Okay, I think Kari must have persuaded you to defect to the Radiant Crusade, right? ”

Su's heart shook slightly, and after a little thought, he said all the words of Kari before he died. In the completely impenetrable Josh. It is not a wise move for Morgan to lie in front of him.

Morgan nodded, obviously very satisfied with Sue, but he didn't know if the expression was sincere or for some other reason. He continued to shake the wine he had never taken a sip of, and said, "Actually, decades ago, the Holy Radiance Crusaders and the Dark Dragoons were originally an organization, and they were called the Night Crusaders at that time. However, after the rise of the Council and the establishment of the base base, the leaders of the Night Crusade were divided about the future path. One school of thought believes that human genes should be respected, natural means should be used to exercise abilities, and the integrity of human genes should be maintained. They believe that the consequences of over-exploiting abilities and genetically modified genes will inevitably lead to extinction, and that those who have undergone extensive modification can no longer be called human beings. Others believe that ability is a gift from the world, so why should the genetic integrity of the old humans be preserved? The new human beings who have undergone a large-scale transformation of their abilities, both physically and intellectually, are far beyond the limits of what humans of the old era could achieve, and this is evolution and not disaster. The differences between the two sides deepened, eventually turning into a split, and then there was the war, a war that had been fought for more than two decades. ”

Su pondered for a moment and asked, "Why did the Dark Dragoon stay in the ** Council instead of the Radiant Crusaders?" ”

Morgan smiled and said, "Good question." ** The members and speakers of parliament share a common desire to plunder, expand, plunder, and expand again, and finally stand at the top of this era, this world, and expand into the extraterrestrial world obscured by radiation clouds. The one who can stay is of course the Dark Dragoon, which aims to expand. Sue, if it were you, which side would you choose? ”

Su carefully considered his own considerations and replied frankly, "It's the Dark Dragoon now. ”

This is not a firm answer, but it clearly makes Morgan happy, "Not bad! Hehe, what is most needed in this era is strength, and it doesn't matter where it comes from. Of course, no matter what kind of power it is, it must be in your own hands to be the real power. Okay, let's go inside, Persephone's little one has a repertoire, and let's not miss the best part! ”

Su followed Morgan back into the warm auditorium, and he realized that in the low temperature of more than minus 30 degrees, the wine in General Morgan's hand had never frozen, and he had not activated any ability! Su, who noticed this, suddenly trembled in his heart, as if he had vaguely had an answer to some difficult question that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Sue, who was immersed in her own thoughts, didn't notice that in the center of the auditorium, behind Persephone, Helen was smiling and whispering something. There were no guests around the two of them, and no one could hear what Helen was saying, and even if they did, they couldn't understand it.

"Hurry up!" Helen seemed to be urging something.

"Dear Helen, this ...... Let me think again, okay? Persephone pleaded.

"This is the best chance." Helen said.

"But...... There's always a chance! "Persephone began to be a scoundrel.

"Perhaps...... It's the only chance. ”

"Impossible!" Persephone was very surprised, and quickly asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Intuition." Helen coldly gave an answer that left her completely speechless.

At this time, the party manager in a straight dress walked over quickly, lowered his voice and asked, "Your Excellency, the time has come, are you ready?" ”

Persephone bit her lower lip lightly, her gray-green eyes almost overflowing, and the head manager was creepy, and the cold almost soaked his spine.

Persephone pushed the head pipe, clapped her hands gently, and the band stopped playing. She walked to the center stage and looked around, her eyes swept over every guest who arrived, whether it was a big man or an incompetent child of a family, not a single one was missed.

When all eyes were on herself, Persephone took a deep breath, smiled brightly, and said, "Today's party is to announce a decision that is very important to me!" That's ......"

Quiescence.

In the silence, every word Persephone spat out was like a stone striking on a giant bell: "Sue! Will be my protector! ”

Sue, who was designated by Persephone's fingers through the crowd, was stunned on the spot! Before he could understand what was going on, all the lights focused on Su almost at the same time, as if he was the only one standing in the light in the pure black world. The leader of the lights was a very responsive Dragoon major, who found Sue as soon as possible, and cast all the spotlights on Sue's body, eager to burn him through!

The dazzling light made Sue a little dizzy, but he still didn't know what was going on.

"I'm against it!" I don't know who is hiding in the crowd, and suddenly there is a loud roar!

"Against!" "Against!"

The wave of protests came and went, and almost all the men were shouting and slowly squeezing towards Persephone! The loudest of them were the officers from the Northland.

In an instant, it was as if all the men had become Persephone's enemies, and standing alone on the high platform, she was like a small reef in front of the infinite waves, ready to be crushed at any moment. And Sue, Su, who was standing in the spotlight, paid no attention to him, surrounded by empty darkness.

Persephone lifted her chin slightly, facing the rampaging wolves who were about to rush up and tear her to pieces, but she smiled proudly and said, "Objection is invalid!" ”

The auditorium fell silent for a moment, like the beginning of a new storm.

At this moment, a slightly hoarse and tired voice suddenly came from the gate: "I am against! ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the door, and then they were greeted by short dull red hair. Nearly half of them immediately recognized Peperos, the personal lieutenant of Medirri, the dark judge of the Inquisition. But what surprised them was the weakness of Peperos, as well as the red blood stains on the armor and sleeves.

Few people know for sure how powerful Peperos is, but no one doubts that she is at the side of the notoriously fierce Medirli, at least not weaker than the average Dragoon officer. However, looking at her now, it was as if she had just come here after a bloody battle. Who dared to attack the dignitaries of the Inquisition around Dragon City? And some ** people have already linked the appearance of Peperos to Persephone's sudden and surprising decision.

Effortlessly, Peperos saw Sue still in the spotlight like a statue. She stopped, and suddenly yelled hoarsely at Su: "Su! Do you completely ignore the people of the past!? ”

People from the past?

Su's heart sank slightly, for him, there was only one meaningful past. He didn't know Peperos, but he recognized her as belonging to the Inquisition. But Medirli, who had left that day, was only slightly injured, and with her strength, it didn't even take three days to recover. Su hadn't heard of any recent changes in the Inquisition, and even if there were, it wasn't something he could meddle with at will. The pressure of the Dragoons and the major families has overwhelmed Persephone, and if his recklessness provokes the mysterious and ** Inquisition, Persephone is likely to collapse.

Sue had a vague instinct that Peperos' presence had something to do with Persephone's appointment of him as her protector. However, this is ridiculous.

Sue raised his head and looked at Persephone on the stage, he could clearly feel how heavy the pressure she was under at this moment, and he understood her determination like never before.

Truth be told, Sue didn't think Persephone's decision was a good idea, maybe another three years would be the right time. However, if she can calmly face the pressure of most of the Dragon City, then what reason does Su have not to bear it with her?

Seeing Sue standing motionless in the spotlight, without the slightest intention of following her, Peperos's face quickly turned pale, she gritted her teeth, turned around and left, rushing into the cold and darkness outside the auditorium.

The silent gloom passed quietly, and some well-intentioned people vaguely felt that Peperos was coming with difficulty, and he was afraid that he would be lucky when he left.

*During the crackdown, some keywords have been **instead of blocking, please understand!
