032 Inhuman
One stands, one kneels; The people who stand are happy, the kneeling ones are angry, such a stark contrast, the people in the hall are all the upper echelons of Black Earth City, they have rich experience in this struggle, although they don't quite understand the cause of the matter, but they fight the feeling of slight pain in their heads, and after thinking about it, they guessed a rough idea.
Howard suspected that Chen Xiansong was not a soul-contemplative, so the latter used the most direct and simple method to put the facts in front of everyone. The brain hurt as if someone had cut it open with a knife, Howard had suffered such sins when he was a child, and as he grew older, when he could slowly control his thoughts, such a situation never appeared again, and after a long time, he suddenly felt such pain again, but he couldn't stand it, and the pain was more intense than when he was a child.
Howard wanted to stand up, but because the pain made his legs weak, he tried several times without success, at this time, a friend who knew him well came to help, but he angrily refused, after a while, he finally stood up with his own strength, got up and looked, but found that Chen Xiansong, the culprit who caused him to be so much, had already gone to another table and continued his eating plan.
Ignore me? Howard gritted his teeth in hatred, slowly squeezed his way out of the crowd, and staggered to the corner of the hall in the shadows, where he licked his wounds alone.
Not far away, both the old lord and Udir had a clear idea of what had happened.
"Remember, when you first became a soul thinker, something like this happened to you?" The old lord smiled: "Let me think about it, oh yes, the people who scolded you were me and a few of my friends, but you were not as powerful as this kid at that time, and a word could make people lose their combat effectiveness, and you made us almost cry when we scolded." ”
Udir stared: "How many years ago, still mention." ”
The old lord said nostalgically: "Later, we were noisy, but we actually became good friends. But Howard's kid probably doesn't have the luck I have, your heir is much more powerful than when you were younger. Old friend, I don't know how long your heir will stay in Black Earth City, you are old, it is impossible to take care of Black Earth City for too long, that child seems to have great potential, but the problem is, the greater the potential, the more difficult it is for our Black Earth City to keep him. ”
Udir smiled and said: "Things in the future, let's talk about it later, if Black Earth City can't keep him, it's our Black Earth City's problem, and it's none of his business." Well, the time is almost up, and you should go and host the banquet. ”
The old lord nodded, and then the two old men went to Chen Xiansong together, and brought the young man who was slowly tasting the delicacies to the high steps of the lord's throne, and then the old lord clapped his hands gently, and the not loud voice suddenly quieted the entire noisy hall, and the guests suddenly gathered at the bottom of the high steps, and they knew that the main drama was finally coming.
The old lord looked left and right, and said with a smile: "I am very happy today, because I have a rare old friend, counting, he has not participated in my banquet for half a year, I think everyone knows who he is, the prosperous man of our Black Earth City, the great love saint of the year, the old immortal of Wug'er." ”
Hearing that the old lord arranged himself like this, and in front of his newly accepted good students, Udi Le was so angry that he was about to burst out, he squinted his eyes, and saw that Chen Xiansong really looked at it with a 'curious' eye, he felt a little bitter in his heart, could it be that his image of a generous and calm elder was going to be ruined in the hands of this bastard?
Just then, the old lord changed his words: "It's just a pity that the protagonist tonight is not my old friend Udil, next to me, there is a handsome and promising young man, he is the genius who has just become a soul thinker today, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, everyone remember his appearance, everyone who has a beautiful daughter, or a beautiful sister, are you ready?" ”
Udir's head was a little cramped, Tolhua was quite steady, although he liked to hold banquets, but every time he spoke routinely before a banquet, it was an extremely official speech, why did he seem so ...... tonight There is a childlike heart. Could it be that he hasn't seen him for half a year, and his personality has changed so much?
The old lord raised his right fist violently and roared: "I now announce that the banquet has officially begun, and the battle for the beautiful boy has officially begun." ”
The guests below were stunned for a moment, and after a while, warm applause rang out. As soon as Chen Xiansong, who was a little nervous, stepped down the high steps, he was overwhelmed by the surging crowd, and a large number of polite people surrounded him and asked him long and short questions. The old lord sat on his throne and asked his old friend ostentatiously, "Udir, how is it, my speech just now is very distinctive?" ”,
Udir smiled bitterly: "It's really distinctive, but it's a little inconsistent with your character and temperament, a bit like an old unserious bastard." ”
The old lord said with a smile: "You are still so poisonous in your words, just now I just didn't practice the relationship well, there should be no problem in holding a few more banquets in the future." ”
"Practice?"
The old lord nodded and said, "Well, I got a book the day before yesterday, which is the masterpiece of the Sun God Servant. You also know that the Sun God Servant inherited some knowledge and culture from ancient times. It is mentioned in the book that the ancestors of ancient times hosted the show like I just did, and in their opinion, the show was to be happy and did not need to worry too much about etiquette. ”
Udir asked, "The show?" What do you mean. ”
"The book says it's a celebration like a banquet." The old lord smiled and said: "You also know that I was originally just a warrior, if you talk about family heritage, there is absolutely no way to compare with other nobles, even in the Black Earth City, there are a large number of merchants, who surpass us a lot in terms of family inheritance, and it is really unwise to compare with them in the noble tradition." After reading this book, I had an idea, compared to tradition and heritage, our family is to carry out the ancient and generational presiding ceremony, in order to detain who dares to laugh at our family. Not only that, but I want to make this ritual a feature of our family and pass it on from generation to generation. ”
No wonder his old friend suddenly seemed to be a different person, it turned out to be like this. A greedy light suddenly appeared in Udil's eyes: "That book, after you finish reading it, invite me for seven days, okay?" ”
The old lord also smiled: "Don't borrow it so much, I have already asked someone to print a manuscript, and after a banquet, I will ask someone to bring it out to you." ”
"Then you're welcome." Udir continued, "I heard that there is something wrong with the blacksmith shop you run, and a few days ago I applied to the general association for the tempering technique of the knight's sword, and in a few days, the people of the general association should bring the knowledge scroll over, and you can invite me to a private family banquet when the time comes." ”
The old lord nodded: "No problem, you have a good mouth, my hound dug out a piece of silver truffle in the field yesterday......"
Howard hid behind the shadow of the pillar in the corner, looking at Chen Xiansong, who was surrounded by everyone, with no expression on his face. His right finger pinched the foot of the crystal cup, and because he was too hard, a deep red mark appeared on his finger, but he didn't know it.
A young man in a pale gray robe walked up to Howard's side and said softly, "Soul Ponder, what a big show, don't you say?" ”
Howard turned his head and looked at the uninvited guest in front of him: "Who are you?" ”
The visitor chuckled, as if it were the warm spring sun, "My name is Comos, and like you, I hate the inhuman creature of the Soul Thinker, so I think we might be able to become friends." ”
Hearing this, Howard turned around and wanted to leave. At this time, Comos whispered again: "In front of so many upper-class people, you were made to kneel on the ground by a little guy, if you don't get this scene back, how can you still have the face to continue to live in Black Earth City in the future." ”
Howard's body stopped: "This is my business, don't worry about it." ”
Comos walked over and whispered in a seductive voice in Howard's ear: "The Soul Thinker has a very fatal weakness, although it takes a lot of time to set up, but I think it's worth a try, do you want to hear it?" ”
Howard looked around, no one noticed the two of them, and he whispered back, "Why are you helping me?" ”
Comos chuckled, "Didn't I just say that I hate inhuman creatures like soul contemplators?" ”
"Inhuman?"
Comos nodded: "Yes, inhuman!"
