Chapter 145: The Duke of Shaking Sea City
At night, the city is brightly lit, full of laughter, and the whole city is not quiet because of the night, but more lively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Sea Clan was repulsed, which was undoubtedly a huge piece of good news for the nearly half a million residents of Shaking Sea City, and even a festival worth celebrating. Except for some of the soldiers who were still standing guard, Shaking Sea City had fallen into the joy of the festival.
At this time, the central part of Shaking Sea City, the Duke's Palace, was also the center of this festival feast.
At this time, Char was making a carriage to the Duke's Palace, accompanied by Mansa and Fred, and as for Yaya, Char finally brought her here. And the reason is not the faint hint of the ashes, but the fact that Yaya is hungry after waking up, and is clamoring to eat a big meal, after all, the word banquet is obviously a temptation that cannot be refused for snacks who are in a state of hunger.
And after arriving at the scene, Char also found that in addition to himself, there were many nobles gathered. Although the duke nominally ruled the eastern realm, under his signs, all the vassals came to the king, which was a matter of duty.
But it would be ceremonally inappropriate not to hold a banquet for the Duke to receive in person, especially when the threat was over and the Sea Clan had retreated for the time being.
And this is also the reason why Xiaoqin did not participate, for this kind of social banquet of the nobles, although she is a veritable eldest lady, but she is very reluctant to this kind of banquet.
Walking into the banquet hall, a hot breath came, the whole hall was already full of people, the nobles were holding a glass of red wine, and they were talking to each other with laughter, not a burst of laughter, the scene seemed very harmonious.
And Char, as the new viscount, naturally few people know Char, and the Dark Death Ridge is not a good place for these people, so naturally no one comes up to talk to Char.
And Char is naturally happy like this, during the period of Dark Death Ridge, he has no good impression of the nobles. His gaze swept across the banquet hall, and finally Char fixed his gaze on a corner of the banquet.
Several pairs of eyes were staring at him, it was the people of the Demon Spinning Society, as the children of demons in the eyes of ordinary people, the place where they sat was naturally a forbidden area, which made the somewhat crowded hall have an empty corner, which was extremely conspicuous.
And Char naturally walked over without the slightest hesitation and sat down unceremoniously.
"Sitting here, aren't you afraid of being looked down upon?" Nana glanced at Char and said coldly.
"Do I need to see the faces of these people?" Char asked rhetorically. "Besides, I'm the same kind of person as you. ”
"That's right!" Nana nodded calmly, but the corners of her mouth curled slightly to indicate that she was very satisfied with the answer.
The system prompts that Nana's favorability towards you is +3, and the current favorability is 82, reaching the level of a friend. 】
"With so many good things, Yaya is welcome. And beside Char, seeing the sumptuous food on the table, the little girl was already drooling.
"Babble~!" The little golden dragon also roared excitedly, jumped directly from Yaya's back to the table, plunged into the food pile, and slept for a day, and couldn't wait to start his gluttonous meal. And the exaggerated eating appearance also attracted the attention of many people, but they frowned and moved farther away.
"The Duke and Lord Arastel are here!" and at this moment, there was a commotion from the other nobles.
A wealthy middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous silk walked out and waved to everyone with a kind face, while behind the rich man was a man with long fiery red hair and a sparse beard.
I saw that the duke, under the gaze of everyone, came to the center of the hall, took a glass of wine from the waiter's plate, coughed lightly, and said in a high and generous voice;
"My loyal courtiers and warriors, this time we were able to win, once again defeat the Sea Clan, and protect the city and the more than half a million inhabitants of the Sea Shattering City, all thanks to you, who defended the majesty of the empire and humanity with your sword and blood. ”
The duke's voice paused deliberately as he spoke, and his gaze swept over everyone, and he suddenly raised his glass.
"Cheers to our victory!"
"Cheers to the Duke's glory!" the nobles shouted complimentarily when they saw this.
"Of course, we can't ignore one of the biggest contributors to this victory, that is, my younger brother Arastel, who slashed the troll Creken with his sword, and together with Archbishop Nick, forced back the powerhouses of the Sea Clan's Sanctuary Domain, so that this victory was achieved. The obese duke patted the middle-aged red-haired man on the shoulder.
"And I would like to explain to you a guess you had before, the reason why Arastel retreated some time ago was indeed to break through, and now that he has become a powerhouse in the middle of a sanctuary, let's toast to the guardian of Sea Shaking City again. ”
The Duke raised his glass again, and handed a glass of wine to Arastelle.
"Lord Duke, it is my duty to guard the city of Shaking Sea!" Arastel took the glass and said solemnly.
After taking a sip of this glass of wine, he felt that the atmosphere of the banquet was warming up, and after a pause, the Duke continued, "I know that there are still people who are still worried about the affairs of the Sea Clan, after all, the Sea Clan is only temporarily retreating, and the scale of the Sea Clan this year is far greater than before.
But I can already leave you not to worry too much, for I have already sent a letter of help to my uncle, His Majesty Austin Pandoragon, and yesterday I have received a reply that the Imperial General Link will personally lead troops to reinforce the city of Shake Sea, including a team of Dragoon Praetorian Guards. ”
"It turned out to be General Link's reinforcements, and the Dragoon Guard!" Hearing these two heavy words, the eyes of the nobles present lit up, even if the duke was present, they couldn't help whispering.
But Duke Hanhai didn't mean to stop it, but sat down and quietly watched the atmosphere of the banquet become more and more high.
"What a duke. Char couldn't help but sigh that ginger was still old and spicy, just a few words, it gave people a sense of confidence and victory, so that everyone dispelled their worries and made the atmosphere of the banquet completely lively.
Except for the corner where the Demon Spiral Society is located, the nobles at the banquet have already talked happily, and the nobles seem to have forgotten about this place. And Char naturally didn't care, just skillfully changed Yaya's plate and carried out the great business of feeding his sister.
At this moment, a woman in a black evening dress moved her position and came over enthusiastically with a glass of red wine. "Little handsome guy, get to know me, I'm Betty. ”
"And me, my name is Booker, you should be familiar with it, thank you for healing my leg. A black-haired young man also sat down at this time, blocking the gap between the woman and Char.
"Char, I'm just helping you with your legs, don't worry too much. Char said with a smile.
"Booker, what are you doing, I'm talking to Char's handsome guy, what are you making a fuss about, the old lady is not interested in you. Betty frowned and said to the black-haired youth.
"I'm sorry, I don't dare to think anything about Sister Betty, but Brother Char is Sister Nana, do you have any ideas?" Booker grinned and retorted.
"Huh!" Hearing this, Betty suddenly slackened, glanced at Booker, and said angrily.
"I'm just helping Nana's sister observe, do you need such an atmospheric monster?"
"Sister Nana is here, do you need to check it?" Booker snapped and turned his gaze to Char, his expression becoming enthusiastic.
"Brother Char, Sister Yaya has just walked out, the moon is very good tonight, I mean this is a good opportunity, and I am very clear about my interests and hobbies of Sister Nana, if you want to know anything, you can just ask me. ”
"You can also come and ask my sister, my sister is Nana's sister's best friend, and she knows a lot more than this kid," Betty also interjected at this time.
"Did I misunderstand something like you?" Char shook his head with a wry smile looking at the gossip on Booker and Betty's faces, and even the ashes, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
"I do have something to talk to him about, though. Char said as she stood up and walked towards the door.
