The guards inside the palace are very strict, although it is exaggerated to have three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, but in the places where El can be seen with the naked eye, there are at least seven or eight bright posts, and as for the dark sentry that the spiritual power feels, it is even greater than this number.

Under Selwyn's leadership, Al came to the main hall of the palace, which was filled with people, and the old man with white hair but burly figure at the top was undoubtedly the king of the current Kingdom of Versailles, Evan XI.

Looking at El who was following Selwyn, a smile appeared on Evan XI's face, he reached out and raised the wine glass on the table in front of him, and said loudly like a bell: "Welcome wizard from the 'Raven's Nest', Mr. Al-Grant, everyone raise a glass with me, welcome Mr. El to the arrival of the 'Raven's Nest' on behalf of the 'Raven's Nest'!"

After speaking, Evan XI raised his head, drank all the wine in the wine glass, and then put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and the maid standing behind him immediately stepped forward and refilled the wine glass.

Evan XI took the lead in drinking a glass of wine, and the officials and nobles sitting in the main hall also raised their glasses and drank the wine inside.

The superstructure of the Kingdom of Versailles is somewhat similar to that of the Holy Sword Empire, both of which separate officials from nobles, who can be officials, but they have to be the same as commoners, starting from school, through layers of selection, or appointed by the royal family to become officials.

This approach not only weakened the rights of the aristocracy, but also greatly increased the royal rights with the power to appoint officials, which is undoubtedly extremely advantageous from the perspective of the royal family, but if the royal family has a mediocre king, then the blow to the country is also extremely huge.

Of course, these questions have nothing to do with Al, although all kinds of knowledge from his previous life can make him see the current shortcomings of the Versailles Kingdom at a glance, but El does not intend to participate in politics and mundane things, so he looked at the people in the hall who were toasting under the leadership of Evan XI, Al walked directly to the second blank table on the left side of Evan XI, took a wine glass full of wine, and successively saluted Evan XI and a kind of officials and nobles, and drank the wine in the wine glass。

"Yes, Mr. El is very cheerful, please take a seat quickly, and I hope that in the next few years, you will enjoy life in the Kingdom of Versailles. ”

After speaking, Evan XI looked at the seated Al and nodded to him, then laughed heartily and said to everyone in the main hall: "Everyone has arrived, now the banquet has officially begun!"

It can be seen that the upper class of the Versailles Kingdom is more military, although it is not light, but the weight of martial arts can be seen from the seven princes and princesses who are all dressed as warriors.

Picking up his glass and taking another long sip of wine, Al picked up his knife and fork and quickly ate a turkey leg, then took a steak and put it on his plate, ready to savor it.

At this time, a voice suddenly rang out to Al to his left.

"Judging by the way you eat, you should be following the path of a bloodline wizard, right?"

Hearing this, Al put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and looked at the man who was speaking on his left.

I saw that the person sitting on Al's left side was a young woman who looked to be about thirty years old, full of charm, with her golden curly hair draped behind her and a sky-blue robe draped over her body, which just made her perfect figure loom and looked like a blooming flower, which was unforgettable.

Looking at Al's gaze, the female wizard immediately spoke: "My name is Catherine, and I am a first-level wizard from the 'Elemental Touch', I know that you are Al from the 'Raven's Nest', and I am glad to see you. ”

Catherine's personality is very cheerful, and he still likes this kind of person Al, so he nodded, reached out and shook Catherine's outstretched hand, and then said: "I'm Al, and I'm glad to meet you, we will be colleagues in the next few years, and I hope we can take care of each other." ”

"Of course that's no problem, we have a lot of cooperation between 'Elemental Touch' and your 'Crow's Nest', and on this basis, the two of us can naturally have a good cooperation. ”

Nodding at Catherine, Al turned his head to look at the expressionless old man sitting on his right, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm Al from the 'Crow's Nest', I think you are Mr. Hogan from the 'Ring White Tower', I am very happy to know you, and I hope to cooperate with you." ”

Listening to Al's words, Hogan looked at Al, a flash of sarcasm in his eyes, and said lightly: "I don't think that I, a second-level white wizard, need to have any cooperation with you, a first-level dark wizard, so I don't need to know each other, as long as you two don't cause me trouble in the future." ”

After speaking, Hogan picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the wine inside, not wanting to shake hands with Al at all, completely as if Al's outstretched hand did not exist.

Looking at Hogan, who completely regarded himself as non-existent, Al smiled slightly, shook his head, withdrew his hand without the slightest embarrassment, and continued to pick up the knife and fork and eat the steak in front of him.

At this time, Al didn't know that the unpleasant smile between him and Hogan just now had been seen by Evan XI and the seven princes and princesses who were secretly paying attention to the three of them, and some people were very disdainful of Al's indifference, and even despised it, thinking that Al was pretending to be calm to cover up his embarrassment.

But some people feel that Al's performance is extremely good, and he is not angry at all about Hogan's rudeness and arrogance, but continues to eat calmly, which is really good.

The banquet lasted for a long time and did not stop until late at night.

After eating and drinking, Al sat down with his eyes closed and waited for the feast to end.

In the early hours of the morning, the officials and nobles finally showed signs of fatigue, the sound of toasting and singing had largely disappeared, and those who had stripped off their clothes and wrestling and dancing had fallen to the ground.

At this time, Evan XI looked at the courtiers who were gradually quieting down below, laughed, and still said in a loud voice: "Okay, everyone is tired, since this is the case, let's go home and rest, tomorrow will be a day off, and the day after tomorrow will continue to deal with various things."

Oh, by the way, Heron, you have to remember to do a good job of the academic exchange conference in half a year, since this year's academic exchange conference can be held in our Versailles, we must be those academic elites from other countries to see the advantages and good side of our Versailles Kingdom, so you must get things done for me. ”

Hearing the latter paragraph, I saw the middle-aged man who was sitting first on the right side of Evan XI stood up, saluted Evan XI, and then said: "Please rest assured that my father will definitely handle this matter properly, and I will not let my father have any dissatisfaction." ”

"It doesn't matter if I'm not satisfied, the important thing is to satisfy the foreign academics who come to Versailles, you must know that those academics are often powerful wizards or bloodline knights, and there will even be some academics from major sects, so you must be well prepared and don't make trouble. ”

Heron looked at his father and nodded fiercely, although he was a little apprehensive about this matter, but he couldn't show it, and he must do it well.

You must know that the throne of the Evan family does not have the saying that the eldest son inherits, but the capable live in it, and the original Evan XI is the fourth son of the previous king Evan X, so Heron has been desperately trying to express himself since he was a child.

This mission Heron is very clear, it is the final test of Evan XI for him, if he can do things perfectly, then the throne can be said to belong to him very likely, but if this matter is done wrongly, then he will not want to get the throne in the future!

Looking at Heron with a resolute face, Evan XI nodded with a little satisfaction, he knew very well that his condition had reached a very bad situation, although now with the power of his own blood and medicine to suppress the pain, but as long as one accidentally caused the pain to break out, then he could basically only wait for death.

Therefore, the candidate for the future succession to the throne, Evan XI has begun to choose among his seven children, whether that child likes it or not, as long as he has the ability, he can become the future king.

Of course, for Heron, the eldest son who has followed him for more than forty years, Evan XI still has to take care of it, and this time it is the opportunity given to him by Ivan XI.

When the banquet was over, the second prince took Hogan to his residence, and the fourth princess also left the main hall with Catherine.

At this time, the third prince that El was waiting for did not come to him, but was replaced by the seventh prince, the youngest of the seven children of Evan XI, Prince Kevin, who was only seventeen years old this year.

"Lord El, Brother Three Kings has other important matters, so let me take you to the stone pagoda where he lives, and I hope you don't blame Brother Three Princes. ”

Looking at the handsome-faced Seventh Prince Kevin, Al smiled slightly and said, "No problem, anyway, whether it's the third prince or the seventh prince, you just need to take me to the stone tower where you live." ”

"Okay, Lord El, please come with me, the stone tower where you live is close to the manor where I live, which is why Brother Three Kings asked me to take you to the stone tower where he lives instead of him. ”

"I see, then the two of us will be neighbors from now on, and if you need help with anything, you can come to the stone tower to find me. (To be continued.) )
