Outside the window, the black clouds covered the rain and thunder, making the light dim, reflecting the dark and deep feeling in the room.

The ivory wooden bell on the side was running, ticking and ticking.

Zhu Peng held the report handed over by Zhenzhen Nai in his hand, he looked at it for a while, and then there was a long silence.

"Based on this report, can you analyze the civilization level that invaded the heterotopic plane?" This is a very important thing, is it a jackal, a tiger, or an invincible dragon that secretly stretches out its claws to the side?

“...... If you want to be 100% sure, you can't do it, but according to the derivation, if it is a fifth-order transcendent civilization, you shouldn't be ignorant of the overlord-level civilization 'wizard' of this world plane community. Therefore, I judge that it is only a fourth-order civilization level at most. ”

"You can't make such a hasty conclusion, right? If it's a behemoth like the civilization of the gods, it plans to use this world as an outpost to launch an all-out war against the Babel Witch Tower, and even compete for the regional supremacy of this world plane community. Zhu Peng put the document on the table, leaned back, and asked.

"The probability is very low, judging from the progress and the aura power that this alien plane is currently displaying, it doesn't look like the magnitude of a fifth-order transcendent civilization...... Of course, without more analytical data, none of the above extravagaries can be determined. Zhenna sat down in front of Zhu Peng, she also stripped off her gloves, and brushed the messy hair on her sideburns with her delicate and white slender hands.

Akizuki Marina is the most skilled in spatial witchcraft cultivation among the group of people in the team, although it is not particularly clever and exquisite.

At this time, the phone on the side of the desk suddenly rang, and Zhu Peng reached out to pick up the microphone.

"Team leader, it's a call from the corps leader, do you want to get through?"

"Plug in. Zhu Peng replied to the operator, and a moment later, the voice of Egula Helsing came from the other side of the phone.

"Hmm...... Okay, got it, I'll take them with me. After a simple reply, Zhu Peng put down the microphone.

"Don't do further research on the heterotopic invasion project for the time being, so as not to produce luck synchronization and really be involved, the invasion of the fourth-order foreign civilization, such a general trend is not something we can shake for the time being, no matter how the future changes, do what we can do well today, there will be no mistakes. At this point, Zhu Peng stepped forward and patted Akizuki Mana on the shoulder.

"Let's go and change clothes with Ellie, Egula Helsing specially organized a drinking party to introduce our Castel family to the upper class of the entire Duchy of St. Rudin, the nobles of the royal family, and even the royal family of this country will come forward, although it is more annoying, but staying in the territory of others, some necessary entertainment is unavoidable. ”

"I got my brother...... Can I dance with you tonight?" and while nodding yes, Marina suddenly looked up and asked with a sparkling eye.

“...... Of course, it is my pleasure, beautiful young lady. He was stunned for a moment, and then Zhu Peng chuckled and kissed Truth Nai lightly on the forehead, and replied.

At night, when the vast majority of the common people were already lying on their beds and backs, the extravagant and splendid nightlife that belonged to the aristocracy had just begun.

The splendid palace building, the lights reflect the fountain, and the light is scattered and refracted in the dazzling banquet hall.

Drinks, food, and hordes of beautiful ladies and ladies, fawn-like young girls and plump and enchanting courtesans.

Egula Helsing and Rod Custer had just sent off the gray-haired old woman, the queen of the country, the kind of political traitor who looked like she could die at any moment, but in fact in another twenty or thirty years, half of the people at this banquet were dead, and she probably wouldn't die easily.

Although she is old, she can vaguely feel that the vitality in her body is quite restrained and even powerful.

After the two of them sent the master away together, Egula Helsing, who was a woman but dressed as a man, let out a long breath, and she turned sideways to Zhu Peng and said, "I didn't expect that the queen would actually participate in this dinner, it seems that your previous 'Battle of Light' was indeed a big fight." ”

As he spoke, Egula Helsing looked proud and excited.

Zhu Peng smiled when he heard this, but he didn't feel much surprise or honor...... There are less than five legends in the entire Duchy of St. Rudin, and there are only two and a half who can be mobilized on the surface, and he alone has killed nearly one-third of the power of the Night Clan, if the master of this country can still sit still and run over to find out what is really true, it will be abnormal.

"Don't look disdainful, the queen was known as the 'iron fist' when she was young, but in recent years, she has grown older and gradually restrained her temperament, otherwise you two are such arrogant lords, you really have to fight. With that adult's youthful temperament, it is likely that he will secretly mobilize most of the combat power of the entire principality to directly defeat you. ”

"The royal family still has that kind of power, didn't the Duchy of St. Rudin already start the cabinet government?" Zhu Peng held two goblios in both hands, he walked up to Egula Helsing and handed one to the other party, and then the two clinked glasses and drank each other.

"When the Queen was young, the Cabinet existed in name only, and it was basically just an echo of the Queen. It's just that later, the king's beloved prince died, and the king had no intention of dealing with government affairs anymore, and in the process, there was a very talented and capable prime minister...... However, the queen still has a very high prestige in both the government and the people, but she will not regain power because of her age. ”

While Zhu Peng and the silver-haired countess were drinking and talking softly, a man in a red silk robe, with a slightly open front, revealing strong chest muscles, a tall body, and a handsome face like a knife and an axe, strode over.

Seeing this man, Egula Helsing, who was still chatting happily with Zhu Peng, changed her face slightly, but in the edge and corner of this banquet, the other party was obviously rushing over, which made her not even have a place to hide.

"Great Prince, long time no see. After all, Egula Helsing stepped forward to give a salute.

"Is it a long time since I haven't seen you, or do you not want to see me? Hai Xinqing, you and I grew up together, and you really don't care about it at all after so many years of love. ”

"Your Majesty is guilty, Your Majesty has just returned to the royal capital, busy with affairs......" Zhu Peng touched his nose behind his direct boss, he could see that the eldest prince in Egula Helsing's mouth was obviously his suitor, and Egula Helsing obviously didn't like the man in front of him who was good in all aspects, so he was very embarrassed.

After a few reluctant words, the countess casually found an excuse to run away, and threw Zhu Peng and Lokov, the Grand Prince of the Duchy of St. Rudin, together.

"A woman like my boss is not easy to pursue, she obviously takes a certain mission as the sustenance of her ideals, unless it can overlap with the mission in her heart, otherwise she may not easily fall in love with anyone. ”

“...... I know that Hai Xinqing's family is likely to die in the Black Mass ceremony of the Night Clan, and she can't forget the horrific scenes she saw when she was young, so she has been desperately pursuing strength all these years. It was precisely because I saw her desperate work that I was deeply fascinated by her. The eldest prince Lokov looked at the back of the silver-haired countess and said.

"Oh...... I thought you were the private army of the Royal Knights, but I heard that you have been competing with your younger brother for the throne, and if you master the Royal Knights, you can even deter the aristocracy of the entire royal capital. After all, the buttocks of the vast majority of nobles are not clean, as long as they are willing to check, check one, and hit one. ”

The eldest prince Lokov looked sideways at Zhu Peng beside him, but his lion-like sharp gaze was swallowed up by the deep darkness. After a while, Lokov couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I really envy you, you can shake the power of a country with your own body, whether it is to help Hai Xinqing or to face this huge country, you can have a free and independent will. ”

"You're not bad, as the prince of a great country, you actually have the strength of a strong second-order at an age of about thirty years, and the smell of blood on your body is very strong...... With the help of some kind of artifact, it will be difficult to promote the legend in the future. The road to promotion to demigod was even blocked, but Zhu Peng didn't say this, because in this continent, the third-order legend was already the ultimate power in the world's cognition.

"It's so uncomfortable to be with you, it feels like you've seen everything. At this time, Lokov's face finally changed a little, and no one wanted to be peeped into their hole cards.

"The five fingers of your right hand are short and strong, and there are obvious calluses in the palm of your hand, which means that you are good at using one-handed weapons, judging from the outward division of your legs, you should be good at using one-handed heavy swords, which is your most visible strength, and it is also used to paralyze others. ”

"Your left hand is much more delicate, and you seem to have pretended for years that your left arm is slightly disabled, but from your wrist, your left hand is more agile than your right hand...... Your marksmanship should be very good, left gun and right sword, this is a typical witcher's tactics, your teacher is a senior witcher?"

"Heh, if I say it all, it shows that I have no hostility towards you, and my strength is one level higher, so it will be difficult to hide these things. If someone who is obviously much stronger than you has been deceived by you like this, it can only mean that he has played you, be careful, know these when you are really fatal, and you will even lose the hole cards that saved your life in the end. ”

"............" accompanied by Zhu Peng's words, Lokov's face was simply colorful, and the eldest prince opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

At this moment, there seemed to be some commotion on one side of the banquet.

Zhu Peng vaguely heard Ellie's voice, he smiled, leaned over and confessed to the strange-looking prince, and then walked over.

At this time, in the heart of chaos.

Ellie is punching a handsome and weak young man, and the attack is quite ruthless, although she has not specialized in martial arts, but Zhu Peng is a top martial arts master who is close to the limit of the world, and after activating the "blackening" talent some time ago, Zhenna is also working hard to cultivate trickery killing skills.

Autumn Moon Ellie is under the influence of her ears and eyes, not to mention learning, just watching, she has learned more or less a trick and a half, beating a pampered aristocratic boy who is also weak, it is like a cat playing with a mouse, as if he is playing.

"Oh, O old fellow's favorite little son, who was drugged upon the family of the Baron de Castel...... Was his brain kicked by a horse? That's a big man at the level of a 'Legion Commander', and he really tore his face, and no matter how rich Norcien is, he may not be able to keep him. ”

...... The legion commander, the native of Santiago in the Bright Continent, is the honorific title of the legendary powerhouse, believing that one person is comparable to the existence of an army......

"It's because it's the younger sister of Baron Custer's level that it's exciting to get drugged, and if the last two families each take a step back and choose to marry, he will make a huge contribution to the Sean family. What's more, the two younger sisters of Baron Caster are so beautiful, one quiet and elegant, the other lively...... Tough, whoever you can marry and go home, you can really wake up with a smile when you dream at night. ”

"But...... Looking at this little girl's movements, isn't she a virgin?" In the process of surrounding discussions, Ellie's knee hit the opponent's lower abdomen with a big movement, blasting the weak aristocratic boy upside down and flying out, slamming him backwards with a fox friend.

At this time, the big fat man Norseen, the Minister of Finance of the Cabinet, finally ran over with a "snort, snort", watching his favorite youngest son being beaten all over his head and blood, miserable, and the murderer of evil was standing in front of him.

No matter how many years of politician Norsian is, he can't suppress the fire in his heart and rush up.

"What are you doing? A group of rich landowners from the countryside have come to serve in the royal capital by royal grace, how dare you commit such a murder? Not to mention that you are a little girl, even your brother Rod Custer would not dare to be so rude in front of me, you uneducated little ......"

"What do you say I don't dare?" Just as the big fat man Norseen picked up his son with a bloody face and roared, Zhu Peng pushed away the people around him and walked out.

If Qiuyue Ellie is unreasonable, she is really throwing off her temperament and beating people, Zhu Peng will never let her go.

That's why he listened around for a while, but it was obviously not Ellie's fault, these aristocratic bad boys relied on potions to find stimulation, from the maids beside them to commoners, famous prostitutes, and now dare to attack the nobles' families, I don't know how many reluctant girls have been harmed in this gradual process.

Norseen's youngest son is now beaten badly...... However, those girls who were succeeded by him, if they were debauched by nature, if they were more conservative and loyal, would they be ruined by them in this life?

"I didn't have time to get involved in this matter in the first place, or you'll know that Rod Custer is even more rude than his sister. With a shake of the hand, the exaggerated and terrible reinforced pistol "Jackal" fell into the palm of his hand. Zhu Peng threw a shot in front of Norseen and directly burst the lower half of his youngest son's body.

With a bang, splashing of plasma, the jackal looks like a gun, but in fact it is simply a hand cannon.

The aristocratic boy who was originally knocked unconscious by Autumn Moon Ellie was blown out of the lower half of his body, and at this moment he was awake in severe pain, and when he looked at his lower body, he suddenly let out a terrible roaring roar, rolling around, smearing spilled blood all over the ground.

From Norseen to all the nobles around, no one thought that Zhu Peng's reaction would be so fierce, after all, his sister had the advantage from beginning to end and didn't suffer a loss.

And the Sien family of Norsien has long controlled the financial power of the Duchy of St. Rudin, not to mention that he is rich enough to rival the country, and he has countless allies and descendants in the political arena.

However, it is not right to use the thinking of a pure politician to trap Zhu Peng.

In most of Zhu Peng's life and in the process of laying the foundation, what he received was always the spirit of Ren Xia taught by Zhang Yuanfang, a "pure yang swordsman": he held a green steel sword and wore a golden silk robe. Get out of the white blade and kill in the red dust. It is ten years of sharpening a sword, and the frost blade has not been tried. Who has a grievance today?

The fanatical spirit of Ren Xia and the cold and rational wizard thinking are mixed and coexisted in Zhu Peng's mind, and fortunately he is a Taoist, inclusive, and balanced by yin and yang, otherwise if he were a different person, I am afraid that he would have become a complete madman with schizophrenia long ago.

Regardless of the retreating nobles and the warriors who were trembling around, Zhu Peng took two steps forward and directly pushed the jackal in his hand into the mouth of the big fat nobleman Norcien.

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer, you're very good...... Do you dare me to shoot you with one shot? Your son is drugged and bullied the girl, and it has already come down to the point where everyone around him knows it, and you dare to tell me that you don't know anything about it?" Norsian, who had already begun to roll his eyes and stared at the barrel of the gun in his mouth, stepped back step by step, and finally Norsian hit the wall, and there was no way to retreat.

"You haven't answered my question yet, do you think I dare to shoot you with one shot?" chuckled and leaned to the big fat man's mouth, Zhu Peng listened attentively, but the other party was so wasted that he couldn't even say a vague sentence.

"Rod, you can't really kill him, if you really kill him, you won't be able to get rid of him. At this time, Zhu Peng's nominal direct boss, Egula Helsing, didn't know where to get the letter, and turned back to the banquet, she squeezed out of the crowd in a white trench coat, and shouted at Zhu Peng.

However, at this time, Zhu Peng didn't bother to pay attention to her at all, and the "Destiny Mission" that had not appeared for a long time began to jump wildly on Norsion's head, and the ghost knew how many people's fates his little son had directly and indirectly ruined, or that Norsian itself was also an important node in the fate of many people.

In short, at the moment when Zhu Peng came into close contact with him, the fate card in the depths of the sea of consciousness received some kind of traction, and finally activated a precious destiny mission as the situation changed.

At this time, Egula Helsing had already taken out her firearm directly, but she actually pointed it not at Zhu Peng, but at the head of Cabinet Finance Minister Norcien.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out almost at the same moment, and the big fat head of Cabinet Chancellor Nolsian's finance minister was directly blown to pieces.

In addition to the light smoke from the muzzle of the gun in the hands of Zhu Peng and Egula Helsing, the eldest prince Lokov, who was being held by Norseen's youngest son on his thigh, also held a beautiful firearm with a scarlet body in his hand.

Watching the eldest prince Lokov shoot, all the nobles around him were in an uproar, Lokov has always been known for his martial arts and aggressiveness, and he is very repulsive to modern weapons and equipment, he believes that it is these equipment that have made the once famous St. Rudin Iron Cavalry lose its former bravery.

In the eyes of old-school soldiers, no matter what time comes, no matter how science and technology develop, war will still be fought by people after all, blindly relying on equipment, but forgetting to exercise and strengthen themselves, it is inevitable to put the cart before the horse.

If it were on Earth, of course, their thinking would be stale and conservative and hinder the progress of military power, but in the middle and high demon planes, this kind of thinking would definitely not be a mistake, if not correct.

Lokov, the Grand Prince of the Duchy of St. Rudin, competed for the throne with his mother's favored second prince, and received countless help because of his clear stand on the position of the old-school soldiers, but now his shot at Quasi-Norcian directly cut a deep gap between himself and the old-school soldiers.

At the banquet, everyone among the nobles was stunned by Lokov's shot, especially Norseen's youngest son, who was holding Lokov's thigh, and he watched in a daze as the eldest prince who saw it as a lifesaver moved the scarlet gun in his hand down, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

"Bang!" the plasma and brain white scattered, and the corpse fell to the screams of the ladies around it.

The death of old Norseen was far away after all, and now this one is a death that is imminent.

"The Sean family treasoned, colluded with the Night Clan, accepted bribes, smuggled armaments......" almost casually fabricated some charges and smashed them on the Sean family.

But is it really nothing?

Befriending foreign nobles and leaving a way out for their own family is something that almost all the great nobles do, but in essence, it is treason, especially since the Sean family still holds the financial power of the country.

Collusion with the Night Clan, the indulgent and wanton lifestyle of the vampires, the long life span and the great power, are almost all greedy and desired by the nobles, and it is not impossible for the top nobles of the entire Duchy of St. Rudin to have nothing to do with the Night Clan, but there are very few, including the Sean family.

As for accepting bribes and smuggling weapons, this is almost a common crime in aristocratic circles, and it is of course innocuous in normal times, but in a totalitarian society, when you fall, all these are ironclad evidence that after you die, you will step on 10,000 feet.

Tonight, this grand banquet that introduced the Caster family to high society, because of blood and death, made all the nobles present impressed and unforgettable.
