Chapter 397: Welcome Dinner (Part II)

Wearing a formal dress, he was slowly pushed by Xiao Yi in a wheelchair from the inner palace into the hall.

"Distinguished alchemists, welcome to the Aishin Empire! I am the Imperial Crown Prince Kevin, and I would like to express my most sincere respect and welcome to you on behalf of my father, although this conference is hosted by the Alchemist Guild of my country, but my country has always focused on the development of commerce and various technologies that are beneficial to the country and the people, and naturally attaches great importance to and supports the study of alchemy.

Therefore, if there are any necessary conditions during the conference, please put forward, the royal family will fully cooperate with the Alchemist Guild to solve problems for everyone, of course, I also hope to take this opportunity to make good connections, the country is thirsty for all kinds of talents, welcome all scholars who are committed to academic research to come to exchange or engage in their own research careers, the country will fully support!

Okay, that's all for gossip, the main purpose of tonight is to invite you to relax and enjoy the food and wine, please don't be inhibited, and finally I sincerely wish you all a fruitful time during the conference!"

After giving a welcome speech and receiving warm applause, Kevin was pushed by Xiao Yi to the host seat in front of the chairman in the middle, and the people sitting at this table were all extremely important figures, basically the presidents of the alchemist guilds of various countries and the special guests invited to the conference, among which Luo Ruien, the prince of Maineck, who was naturally sitting on the guest of honor, was the most conspicuous.

Due to his special status, Kevin had to meet Lorien first as a courtesy, not just as a regular visitor.

After taking his seat and making a formal aristocratic salute with hand gestures, Kevin showed his bearing and grace as a future prince.

"Your first meeting! Your Highness Rorien, I have always heard of your great achievements, and today I see that they are indeed heroic. I was not in good health, so I did not meet you as soon as you arrived, and I ask you not to be surprised if you are sloppy in etiquette!"

On such occasions, Rorien still looks a little cynical, but it doesn't seem strange to combine it with his reputation.

"Your Highness Kevin is really polite, didn't you already send someone to 'entertain' us yesterday!

"Where, I heard that His Royal Highness has always regarded himself as a general in the army, so I thought that it should be more desirable to send people in the army to greet him, but I am afraid that the military rank of the person who does the work is not high, I hope that it will not offend you, otherwise I will have to teach him some rules. ”

Roryne's face sank when he heard this, and he could naturally hear Kevin's words implying that he didn't understand the rules and was still prestigious on the territory of other countries, so he sneered at the moment:

"Haha, I haven't paid attention to a little thing, speaking of which, I'm a rough person who practices martial arts, but I don't understand these trivial things, so naturally I'm not as elegant and rigorous as Your Highness Kevin!

But then again, it's a pity, if your legs and feet are fine, as a prince who is both civil and military, it will naturally be much better than my reckless reputation!"

The words suddenly made the expressions of the people at the table become a little uncomfortable, and Schubert's face was especially worried, because Lorien's words just now were straightforward, rude, and inappropriate.

That means clearly, don't be sarcastic, I don't understand the rules, what can you do with Lao Tzu's temper, and besides, you don't look good as a crippled heir to the throne, and it may not be much better than my reckless reputation.

Although it is not a formal diplomatic occasion, such offensive words may also cause serious consequences, but Kevin shows a very high level of self-cultivation and bearing at this time.

"Your Highness is very reasonable, I have always regretted my own shortcomings, but fortunately, Ai Xin's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the national border is solid, so I really don't need a half-hard façade, what do you think!"

The eldest prince of Mainke narrowed his eyes and stared at Kevin, he really didn't expect that the disabled prince in front of him, who was born and grew up in a comfortable country, was also an extremely tough character, not only did he not care about his provocation, but he also ridiculed him.

No matter how strong you Mayink are, you haven't been able to break through the border defenses for years, and Aisin is not embarrassed enough to need a disabled prince to lead troops to war. As for you, Roryne, don't really think of yourself as a famous player who has won a hundred battles, at best he is just a 'half-ass'.

"Your Highness Kevin, don't talk too much, the battle array is changing rapidly, who knows if it will be a disaster because of a stupid decision, one or two reckless words!"

Some vicious threats are very strong, and you can't afford to warn the other party that you can't afford the consequences of such a reckless tongue, but Kevin still smiles:

"The joke is that Your Highness is laughing, the military affairs are decided by the kings of the fathers' generation, why do you and I have to make these useless arguments about this today, how about we enjoy the delicacies at the moment!"

I really don't really want to you off completely. However, you are not Emperor Most, and such a major decision in the war between the two countries may not count if you say it alone as the eldest prince, so let's rest!

After staring at Kevin for a long time, Rorien finally chose to give up: "Okay, I'll accept the hospitality with peace of mind, and by the way, let's see what kind of enjoyment Ai Xin's life is like as the richest of the five empires!"

The verbal exchange between the princes of the two countries has also come to an end for the time being.

Xiao Yi participated in the preparation of the exchange conference as a royal envoy, and originally wanted to keep a low profile on this occasion, but many people at the banquet knew him.

"Boy, I was kind of eye-opening when I ate the food you rectified last time in the auction house, and I heard that you are also one of the people in charge of the preparation this time, and I am looking forward to the food that will be presented!" Rosenberg, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild of the Heron Empire, smiled at Xiao Yi.

The acquaintances I saw at the auction last time were all present, including Sheffield in the Principality of the Woodlands and Phillipsis in the Wharton Empire, and others who didn't know Xiao Yi had heard some of these people mention some of them, and the food that Rosenberg, who was recognized as a food lover in the circle, was so praised immediately aroused a lot of interest.

"President Rosenberg, I've been so busy lately that I really don't have time to worry about arranging food! But the person at the helm of the palace kitchen is a capable chef under my command, and his skills are absolutely guaranteed, and you will definitely not be disappointed!"

"That's good, but after all, I don't have your craftsmanship! To tell you the truth, I don't care about the purpose of other people's conferences, but most of the reason I'm here is for you, and if I can't get what I want this time, I won't leave!"

"What's so difficult about this, when the conference is over, I will cook it myself and let you have a good time!"

Xiao Yi readily agreed, and at the same time, the banquet began to be served.
