Book IV, 42: Drugged
Time slips away without us noticing.
Before I knew it, more than half of the banquet had passed.
After receiving numerous assurances and promises from high-level spokespersons like Ikarovsky, whether they stayed in the hall on purpose or wandered out with some ulterior motives, they began to boldly let go of themselves and enjoy the real excitement of the banquet.
At this time, everyone's faces were written with the four big characters "Spring Shore", the man walked towards the long-cherished goal with a smile that he thought was the most charming, and the woman either stood in place or sat on the seat, and the common point was that she put on a posture that best highlighted the sense of temptation.
As a way of collective social interaction inherited from the ancient West, its original purpose was that because of the inconvenient transportation of life at that time, in order to facilitate the maintenance of the purity of the noble blood and maintain the excellence of the next generation, the higher nobles gathered the children of the lower nobles in the territory for their descendants to choose a suitable marriage partner.
Later, although the original intention was almost forgotten, basically, no parent would be stupid enough to choose a husband and daughter-in-law only at the party, all of them had been in good hands beforehand, and the banquet only played a propaganda role, except, of course, some novels that did not pay attention to reasonableness. But in some aspects, it has undoubtedly been greatly strengthened.
Just like the situation that Zora is encountering now, Chen Xi, who left the hall with some ulterior motive, left. The wild bees and butterflies that had lost their restraints immediately swarmed in.
The goal is naturally the same, and even if the chance of kissing Fangze is slim, there is also hope for success.
Who said that the most outstanding woman in the hall at the moment was this one, and after thinking that after this banquet, everyone would probably go their separate ways, and almost no one was willing to give up this may be the only opportunity.
However, for the parties themselves, the rest is annoying, but the sad thing is that she can't really stack peaches and walk away. She also has an important task ahead of her.
"No wonder this bastard was willing to give up more than a million information points in the first place. came up with this set of costumes, it turned out that this purpose had been settled a long time ago, but the old lady was moved by it for a long time, and it was really blind to my eyes."
Zora was eager to gouge out her eyes at this time. Then he threw the bloodshot pair of eyeballs at the bastard.
The situation she faced was. At the same time as tirelessly rejecting these wishful thinking guys. And she had to put a gentle smile on her face, so that some people who should come over would not flinch because of her coldness. Such a difficult thing to test her acting skills and tongue skills, it's a shame that the bastard can let her do it.
OK. The target didn't make her wait long.
After politely rejecting a few guys who felt good about themselves, a joint ZF spokesperson who had noticed it earlier walked up, looked at her nervously and hesitantly, and reached out to offer an invitation to be a dance partner.
"Beautiful lady, will I have the honor of getting a chance to get close to me before the banquet is almost over?"
…………
Half an hour later, the guests waiting for the banquet almost dispersed.
At the back of the castle, just a few walls away from the banquet hall, a small party was also being held.
However, unlike the nature of the hall that invites guests from all over the world, there is no participation of outsiders here, but a unilateral celebration banquet of United ZF.
For these people who have already incorporated all the larger power organizations in the solar system into their hands, it is natural to make a beautiful announcement so that they can celebrate for a long time without worrying about anyone being able to resist them, so the place where the celebration banquet is held must naturally be high-end and high-grade, worthy of their status.
In this way, an elaborate terraced courtyard with an open terrace next to the annex building adjacent to the castle was the natural first choice.
It is an elegant place surrounded by vines and flower beds.
Greeted by the starlight, the interior is full of Romanesque semicircular arches, composed of heavy stone walls and solid piers. There are many hollow patterns in the adjacent place, which are decorated with a large number of lamps of various colors, and the colorful light can compete with the starlight, among them, the largest one is the passage that links the front and back, the left and right.
And above these arches, there are complex stone channels lying horizontally. Through the transparent windows that open on the retro lines, people at the bottom can see the swimming fish and various flower petals as soon as they look up.
As soon as he entered, Ikarovsky praised heartily: "What a place to behold, where I suddenly feel as if I am incarnating as the elders of the council who ruled the great Roman territory, celebrating the arrival of another imperial victory." ”
"That's a good description, why don't we do it?" A white man left behind offered to.
This suggestion was immediately agreed to by most of the people present and put into practice.
As a member of the West, the glory of the Roman Empire is almost their proudest history, which is just like the impression that the Chinese people will naturally rise in their hearts when they talk about the Tang Dynasty, which belongs to the unique culture of the region.
When the cyborg waiters who came in again brought them additional drinks and dishes, a large number of white robes were also delivered.
Including some of the high-level officials of United ZF, who are usually not angry and angry, also put down the majesty they deliberately maintained at this time, joined in, and changed into these relatively simple-looking white robes.
Even if they were not very satisfied with the style of this party and did not suit their national costumes, under the influence of this excitement and excitement, they still raised their wine glasses with a smile and shouted: "Cheers to the successful completion of this operation!" "And drank it down.
They have reason to rejoice, because, as it was said before: "After today, there will be no more forces that can threaten them"
As for the cobwebs of Agareth, the criminal they deliberately created to be extremely terrifying. Speaking of which, the people here just took him as a joke.
Everyone knows very well that in the context of such an era, as a criminal, there is no soil for survival at all, compared to the power of the power, he cannot be greater than the United ZF that unites all the countries of the earth, compared to the financial resources, even if he has the most powerful means of collecting money, but in the review of the great change, he can only give up this way, and the manpower, he can only be relegated to the background, how can he compare with them who grasp the righteousness and orthodoxy, and there are thousands of people who are willing to serve at will. ”
It's just that just when everyone was full of confidence, someone suddenly said suspiciously.
"Why does the taste of this wine feel a little wrong?" (To be continued......)
