Chapter 90: Moonlight
Just like the aristocratic banquet in Qi Lin's imagination, this banquet initiated by Count Pothos was also lively but revealed a little cold.
And this point of loneliness is because each participant has his own set of small abacus in his heart.
It seems that there is a mixture of ideas, happy words, and joy, but in fact, everyone is just a polite greeting, everyone is smiling, but everyone feels lonely.
As soon as the banquet began, the four of them began to get used to this kind of inconsistent atmosphere, if it weren't for Qi Lin having told them that they would treat this banquet as a product launch conference, they were afraid that the other three would have to hide out.
To tell the truth, in this atmosphere, a gluttonous meal is not as good as the pot of gruel cooked by Ellie in the manor.
Just when Qi Lin was a little unbearable and planned to find a corner to hide, Count Pothos took a glass of wine and directly pulled Qi Lin to the center of the banquet hall.
Count Pothos just tapped his glass lightly, and the banquet hall, which had been noisy just now, instantly fell silent, obviously all the nobles knew who the protagonist of this banquet was, and they were all waiting for this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us raise our glasses and salute the pride of Willis City, Qi Lin. ”
There weren't many introductory words from Count Luthos, and they didn't even point out Qi Lin's extraordinary identity, but the nobles present had already memorized all kinds of information about Qi Lin before they came.
I heard all the nobles shouting in unison: "To the pride of our city of Willis, Qi Lin." ”
After the first glass of wine, Count Pothos looked at Qi Lin and signaled that he should say something.
Looking at the expectant and solemn gaze in Earl Luthos' eyes, Qi Lin naturally knew that this was another test for the earl.
Qi Lin sighed in his heart, the pattern of Count Pothos is too small, he is dominating in Willis City, he probably treats everyone as a person like him, if it is not for the demon threat in front of him, Qi Lin really disdains to be in the company of such people.
However, the situation is stronger than people, even if he is tired of expressing his position, after all, even if he is talking about the sky, as long as he is still in Willis City for a day, Count Pothos will not give up suspicion and jealousy.
After a little silence, Qi Lin directly picked up the wine glass and said, "The first glass of wine is for gratitude." ”
"The contemptible man started from the end of the day, and he was originally a young man in the lower city, and because of the wise governance of the adults, he was able to eat a mouthful of food in Willis City!"
When he said this, the surrounding nobles smiled, and Qi Lin's performance showed that he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness.
Qi Lin also smiled and continued: "I was lucky enough to awaken the extraordinary, but the kindness of your lords has never been forgotten, so the first glass of wine is to all the nobles!
After speaking, Qi Lin drank it directly, and then continued without stopping: "The second glass of wine is for wishes!"
"At present, there are many storms in the city, but thanks to the Earl, all the ghosts and spirits will disappear under the Earl's divine power. Therefore, the second cup of wine should be toasted to Lord Earl, may the Pothos family prosper forever, may Lord Count be in good health, and lead Willis City to be more prosperous and powerful. ”
Still drank it all, and then Qi Lin picked up the wine glass and said, "The third glass of wine is a welcome wine." ”
"As I just said, I was originally a guy in a grain store, and I was a businessman, so my ambition is to become the most successful businessman in the whole city and the whole world, and even my transcendent title is to buy anything!"
When Qi Lin talked about his transcendent title, all the nobles' faces were a little abnormal, some had the wrong name, but they didn't use the wrong nickname, just hearing Qi Lin's vulgar but clear transcendent title, the nobles already understood Qi Lin's meaning.
"My silk shop will open in a few days, as the first stop of my future business map, and you are welcome to come and sit in my store when the time comes!"
After speaking, Qi Lin drank it all again, and then he looked around, the faces of the nobles were still the same, but there were strange looks flashing in their eyes, and the count of pothos standing next to him had a satisfied smile on his face.
Qi Lin handed the wine glass to the waiter next to him, then nodded to the pothos, and was about to return to the crowd.
Suddenly, a loud sound like thunder resounded in the sky not far away, and then a soft but bright light directly illuminated the sky of Willis City at night.
Through the window of the banquet hall, Qi Lin saw that the light that illuminated the night was unusually familiar, if he was not mistaken, it should be the moonlight unique to the Holy Spirit that could only be emitted by the Moonlight Crystal of the Holy Sect.
The light that lit up the sky didn't last long for a black mist like a dark cloud to envelop the light in the sky from all directions.
The light in the sky gradually dimmed under the fog, and although it seemed that it could still hold on for a while, it probably wouldn't be long.
"There is a change in the church?!" Qi Lin and Count Pothos glanced at each other, both seeing what the other was thinking.
"I'll rush over right away, you help me take care of Aunt Ellie!" Qi Lin didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to Count Luthos.
Looking at the nobles who were slightly flustered because of the changes in the sky, he also knew that at this moment, Count Luthos had to stay to stabilize the situation, and the nobles were still like this, but they were afraid that the other ordinary people were about to become a mess.
Ensuring that Willis City is not chaotic is the common appeal of Qi Lin and Pothos, but the church cannot afford to lose, so at this moment, only Qi Lin himself can support the church.
Green Pothos nodded decisively and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange her in my castle, so dangerous you still have your sister with you?"
Qi Lin didn't say much, and directly waved his hand to bring Angel and Jack, who had been surrounded, into his membership space.
Seeing this scene, Count Pothos didn't ask much, and said, "I will gather the knights immediately, and they will support you as quickly as possible." ”
Qi Lin nodded, the Moonlight Crystal in the church is very important, and its safety is directly related to the survival of Willis City.
He believed that Count Pothos, no matter how stupid he was, should know what was most important at this time.
"Aunt Ellie has already entrusted the Earl's care, I may need your help in a moment, get ready for battle!" Qi Lin explained to Jack, who was a little scared because he was suddenly taken into the space, as he rushed out with a quick pace.
At this time, Angel, who already had combat experience, performed better than Jack, and she was even in the mood to take Jack to visit Qilin's member space.
