Chapter 485: Banquet

At the beginning of twilight, the banquet hall, located in the northwest of the palace garden, was already lit up with warm yellow spar lamps. In addition to the existing lighting, there are also temporary movable lampposts that extend from the main door of the ballroom to the entrance to the side entrance of the palace.

Looking down from the palace tower, it is like a glowing jade belt hanging in the palace.

Today is the day of the banquet. In addition to the officials and nobles, the people who were invited to this banquet also included people from all walks of life in the imperial society, as well as heroic soldiers who played a key role in the battle against the gray giants.

The scale of this banquet even exceeded that of the New Year's banquet at the beginning of the year, and in addition to the venue in the palace, there was also a large gathering of mourning and remembrance in the main square of the royal city.

The theme of the banquet is nothing more than to remember the past and welcome tomorrow. But there are too many roles. For example, to stabilize the situation in the empire, to knock on ill-intentioned people, and to extend the meaning of political factions......

The security of this banquet has also been strengthened as never before.

Not only in the Imperial Palace, but also on the streets of the Royal City, for safety, you can also find patrolling soldiers in groups of two at intervals.

In fact, since the news of the appearance of the gray giant spread, some adventurers with a keen sense of smell have rushed to the royal city almost immediately.

Of course, these adventurers are in the upper part of the adventurer's career pyramid.

Some of them came empty-handed, some of them brought a new batch of monster materials, and some even brought the equipment reserves of the adventure group, so as not to miss any opportunity to do business.

After this incident, the security force of Wangcheng definitely needs to be strengthened, and the security awareness of ordinary residents has also been stimulated, in this case, the demand for monster materials or self-defense equipment will definitely increase greatly.

It can be seen from the number of equipment transactions in the auction hall of Heavenly King City these days.

What happened outside had nothing to do with Su Wen.

However, as a guest at the banquet, Su Wen still changed into the dress selected by Mia at the specified time, and arrived at the banquet hall with their group.

After going through strict security checks, several people were allowed to enter. Quint's small family heirloom silver sword, unsurprisingly, was detained at the door.

"I said I wouldn't let you bring it in, you still don't believe it, hum, it's confiscated. Ellie gloated, but the female soldier who didn't seem to care about the security check stopped Ellie as she entered the door and questioned her for a long time. After all, Ellie's shoes and costumes, which she turned into from outer armor, looked more like magic items than cloth and leather in terms of material.

"That's not a blade at all......" Quintu walked in through the security gate step by step, a little relieved that the sword in the storage place, the silver wire used in the fight against the gray giant, was made from this sword.

This probably belongs to some kind of unique weapon system, and Su Wen also lent Marlena a bow before, which is also the same system.

"Whew, I'm glad I didn't bring Squishy in...... Otherwise, it will definitely be detected as well. Yumi breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but worry about being left in Regina's room.

Yumi rarely throws the squishy away, but in this kind of situation, where you need to pay attention to dress, Yumi really has no place to pretend to be soft. Even if you get through Su Wen's means, if you show any feet, there will be a lot of trouble.

In order to avoid this trouble, Yumi still did not take it with softness.

However, looking at the soft demeanor, he was very reluctant to part with Yumi, and under the "help" and "guidance" of Regana, the soft even used the fluidity of the body to become the shape of a corset.

As a result, of course, Yumi was thrown in Regana's face with a red face.

Su Wen and his entourage did not enter the arena together with Regiana Wavansen, as the prince and princess, they would enter the arena as their identities. I don't know if it's a common name or a unified rule, non-important people need to enter nearly an hour in advance. The higher the status, the later it will come.

Soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in the operation are uniformly admitted under the leadership of their superiors.

Even when they came to the banquet, the soldiers sat together and forbade it. Even if they are not wearing military uniforms, guests can recognize their identity.

General Ivor had come on crutches, but he was still sitting in front of the soldiers. Without the soldiers behind him, Ivor might have been free to chat with the other guests, but in front of those soldiers, he had to set an example of a general.

However, such a scene is still a little abrupt in this kind of "banquet" on a non-serious occasion. They didn't stay long before Emperor Marreno, who got the news in the preparation room, hurriedly sent someone to let them relax and not have to stay in this state.

Ivor was a little embarrassed to let the soldiers disband, what do they like.

However, after losing the order, these big-headed soldiers who had never even entered the palace suddenly became nervous, and most of them were sweating in their palms, and they still stayed where they were, only a small number of people were able to behave normally, but this kind of normality was still as serious as a soldier.

"Dismiss me! Don't stay in one place, you know! It's a banquet! Go and serve me a drink! Learn from those young people!!" Seeing this, Ivor dispersed the group of young people behind him with a cane like a duck.

The young people I've mentioned are the children of the guests' families who are also invited, as well as young talents from all walks of life, and even some Hua Dan artists in the literary and artistic circles, and the gender ratio is of course more male, after all, there are these soldiers from the lion camp.

Next, these guests saw these young soldiers, very disciplined, queuing up at the bar to receive drinks......

Ivor's expression twitched a little, but more than that, it was a kind of joy of "seeing that his soldiers were promising".

"These ......"

"General Ivor!!" just as Ivor's voice sighed, a loud voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Ivor was startled, and quickly turned his head, and what appeared in front of him was a fashionably dressed young girl!

"You...... Uh, Miss Nurse......"

After being stunned for a moment, Ivor recognized that this was the little girl who had treated him on the battlefield......

"I'm not a nurse, I'm a doctor!" the little girl corrected Ivor's salutation, and asked, "How's your leg?

"......" Ivor choked, and could only cope: "Soon, soon, soon......"

If he had been injured by someone with fighting energy or magic, Ivor might have recovered a long time ago, but he was hit by the gray giant's tentacles, and it was a purely physical impact damage, and it did take some time to recover.

Ivor is a general, but in front of a little girl, he can't raise any prestige. Probably, the relationship between patients and doctors has long been preconceived......

"Su Wen, look. Ellie pointed to Ivor in the distance, and Ellie saw everything that had just happened. In a way, it's a pretty interesting scene.

Ellie's so-called "quite interesting" is, of course, the scene of those soldiers secretly snickering at their own general.

"Well, I see. ”

Of course, Su Wen's mind was not there, he just dealt with it casually, then picked up the water cup and took a sip.

"You say, Ivor and the little girl...... Is it possible?"

Su Wen almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of water, and after controlling it for a long time, he still choked and coughed.

Yumi and Mia, on the other hand, expressed their opinions on this possibility. The three girls found a topic at once and chatted together.
