Chapter 203: Banquet
As the center of the national capital, no buildings are allowed to appear within a few miles of the royal capital, in order to highlight the dignity and majesty of the royal capital.
In the past, no one dared to approach the royal capital casually, unless it was some prominent people who could enter and leave here freely.
Today is different from the past, the gate of the royal capital is full of gorgeous carriages, or hung with brilliant crystals, or made of special materials as a whole, or engraved with defensive formations, and these carriages are sky-high prices when put outside, which is a symbol of status.
The people who got out of the carriage were brightly dressed, the men were mighty and handsome, the women were beautiful and moving, and their gestures showed a noble atmosphere.
From their every move, it is clear that these people are all aristocratic educated, and most of them are acquainted. The destination of these people is also the same, that is, the Banquet Palace.
The Banquet Palace, one of the larger palaces in the royal capital, is the palace used by the king to hold banquets, and its luxury is definitely the most in the entire royal capital.
Almost every gem you can think of is here, and a priceless work of art that others would consider to be just a showpiece here.
"Count Ran, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I've been in good health lately. Wei Shengtao said respectfully to an old man who stepped into the banquet palace.
"It turned out to be the patriarch of Weisheng, thanks to your elixir, your body is getting better and better. When will I send me some more of your rejuvenating elixir? The last sentence Ran Sitong lowered his voice, lest anyone hear it.
Ran Sitong opened his mouth, and Wei Shengtao knew what he was talking about, so he also lowered his voice and returned, "Count Ran, don't worry, I will personally send it to your home after the banquet." ”
The two separated after a while, and it was clear that it was a good place to strengthen their relationship on such occasions, and it would be good to move around more.
"Father, why are you so respectful to the old man? Wei Sheng Yangtian looked at his father's groveling appearance, and his heart was not unhappy.
"Shut up!" Wei Shengtao glared at his son fiercely.
Looking at his stubborn son, Wei Shengtao still calmed down and explained the way of life for him, "Although cultivators are a special group of people who can be above everyone, the premise is to have enough strength. If you don't have the possibility of attacking the strong, then you can only adapt to the life of the kingdom. The efforts I have made are all for you to obtain enough cultivation resources and connections, and with your qualifications, I believe you can definitely become a ninth-order martial artist. Don't let your father down again. ”
"Got it, father. Wei Sheng Yangtian said in a low voice, he knew how much effort his father had put into him.
Wei Shengtao was pleased with his son, especially the champion of the academy exchange meeting on behalf of the Red Emperor Academy, which made him feel very pleased as a father.
Seeing a duke leading his wife into the banquet palace, Wei Shengtao hurriedly led his son to greet him.
In fact, Wei Shengtao's strength is not weak, an eighth-order martial artist in his fifties, but he knows his qualifications, and he may not be able to become a ninth-order martial artist in his lifetime.
If it was only an eighth-order martial artist, it would be impossible for the Weisheng family to gain a foothold in the national capital, and it would have become one of the best families.
Wei Shengtao also has another identity, that is, an eighth-order alchemist, and he is also one of the teachers of the Red Emperor Academy. Because he used the ancestral elixir to cure the country, the seriously injured Duke of Zhennan, Helian Ba, was also awarded the title of viscount.
With the passage of time, the empty banquet palace was already full of people, talking and laughing in groups.
"Duke Zhendong has arrived!" the guard at the door shouted, and the banquet palace instantly fell silent.
The Duke of Zhendong, who had lost his armor, changed into an indigo blue robe, embroidered with a mighty descending tiger, the tiger pounced on the abrupt rocks with the momentum of a hungry tiger, and looked ahead with a tiger roar. Not only did he look like a real tiger, but the jade belt around Helian Ba's waist was even more dazzling, and even the pair of boots made of gold-scaled snake skin under his feet were like a handicraft.
It's just that the protagonist this time is not the new Duke of Zhendong. Following his pace, dozens of young boys and girls came in one after another, all of whom were elites from various academies, and they were also knighted in this exchange meeting.
The appearance of these people attracted the attention of many people present, after all, they still have an appreciative attitude towards outstanding people to a large extent.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" said Helianba, stepping into the center of the palace. "These handsome men and women behind me are the elite of this competition, and they are all young and promising, and their futures are limitless. The most important thing is that they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all at the age of finding a partner, and you young masters and young ladies of the family must pay attention, if you don't seize the opportunity, it will be too late. ”
Helian Ba, who put down the shelf, still makes people feel very close, especially this humorous remark, which made everyone present laugh.
It was a celebratory banquet, and Helian Ba didn't take up too much time, and walked away after a brief introduction. There was a group of stunned boys and girls left, who had obviously not yet recovered from the magnificent shock.
Cultivating to the fifth order at the age of less than sixteen, the efforts they put in were by no means unimaginable to ordinary people, and where could they be in the mood to enjoy themselves. Even those who came from big families were equally surprised by the magnificence of the Banquet Palace.
When Wei Shengtao saw that these new little barons were actually led into the Yanke Palace by Helian Ba, he suddenly felt a little regretful. I thought that I could make more friends with more powerful people by entering this banquet palace with my son, but I didn't expect that not only did I not become the focus of everyone, but instead became a foil.
As Helian Ba said, this is actually a banquet with a purpose. It's not so much a celebration as it is a blind date meeting.
Not all powerful people can guarantee long-term durability, and without the blessing of corresponding strength, no matter how big the family is, it will decline step by step. Marriage became a useful tool between families.
The magnates present all have an obvious characteristic, that is, most of them have a fairy-like daughter next to them, which is the tool they use to win people's hearts.
Children born into large families can indeed achieve the life that ordinary people dream of, but they also have their own sorrows, and freedom is a luxury for them. From the moment they are born, their fate is not destined in their own hands, and everything they have will be dedicated to this family that raised them.
Most of the participants in this exchange meeting have some background, and after the initial shock, they quickly settled into the occasion.
As soon as Helian Ba walked on his front feet, several powerful people led their children towards these young barons. As people with heads and faces, of course, they will not easily win people's hearts through marriage, at least they still need to communicate.
Of course, not all elites need to win people's hearts in this way, and many people just have an appreciative attitude towards these students who participate in the exchange meeting.
Everyone present was undoubtedly not carefully dressed, and everyone was dressed brightly, but there was one exception, and that was the uncrowned strongest Makino this time.
For such an occasion, Makino obviously didn't care, and was still dressed in coarse linen.
It stands to reason that a person like Makino who has potential and has a sage teacher should be very popular, but surprisingly, no one cares about him, and many people even look at him with a hint of disgust.
