Chapter 192: Sophia the Night Cat (3)

To be honest, now Lutga only feels very difficult, but rather, he feels very abrupt. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, the guests in the banquet hall were all dressed in masks that concealed their appearances, so they could not see each other's faces. However, even if Lutega was allowed to see the other party's appearance, he was a lord from a rural farming town, and he didn't know anyone present.

But after all, this is the upper city of the imperial capital, and although the social circle of the nobles is vast, the friendship between them is not something that can be blocked by a small mask. Almost all of us have someone to talk to. And only Lutga, alone and unattended, could only hide in a small corner of the banquet hall.

No one came to the door.

Rutga waited in the banquet hall for at least an hour, but no one took the initiative to talk to him.

- It shouldn't be like this......

The young lord was puzzled. If, as his daughter Sophia had expected, it was the rebels lurking in the imperial capital who invited him to the dinner, then it was time for one or two people to explain the situation for themselves.

But in fact, except for the man who led him in the first place, the guests in the banquet hall carried out a disregard for themselves. Because my daughter had warned her that if she was invited to a dinner by a stranger, she should never touch any drinks or food for her safety.

You know, he hasn't been dripping since he entered the city today, and the delicacies and delicacies everywhere in the hall at this moment make him even more hungry.

Finally, as Lutega's stomach growled and his calves ached, a man dressed up on the steps of the banquet hall. At the same time, the lights of the entire hall suddenly went out, which also quieted down all the guests present.

The light of the magic crystal lamp gathered on the man's body, making him the center of everyone's attention.

"Distinguished guests, thank you very much for joining us at this banquet. In view of the peculiarity of the contents, I am deeply sorry that you have to gather here in a disguised manner, and the name of the banquet is also borrowed from the coat of arms of the Imperial Capital Chefs Association. ”

said sorry, but his attitude was condescending, looking like a famous nobleman in the imperial capital.

-- Are you finally going to get down to business? It seems that the backstage of the rebels is really not small......

Rutga thought to himself and continued to listen silently. In his conjecture, the man in the light may be a superior nobleman who is dissatisfied with the rule of the king, and the speech that follows will also make some dangerous political calls against the king's power. After that, he might even introduce himself by name to the full audience of guests, the leader of the new alliance in the western part of the empire.

At the thought of this stomach-wrenching development, Lutga couldn't help but want to run away from the banquet hall. However, her daughter Sophia said that she would try her best to build a friendly relationship with the rebels to lay the foundation for the next negotiations.

Therefore, in order to perform a reliable image of a master in front of his precious daughter, Lutga had to endure the throbbing pain in his stomach and wait in horror for the moment when everyone was watching...... On the bright side, the right amount of tension and stomach pain is also effective in relieving feelings of hunger.

"As I believe you know, there have been many ups and downs in the western part of the empire recently. First, the demon dragon that had been sealed for thousands of years was resurrected, and the survival of my empire was in danger, and now there is a 'spear' of unknown origin that fell from the sky. Above the Rilabis Mountains. And this series of dangerous disasters are all around the little-known border town of [Celia] around the frequent occurrence. And the lord of this town, not long ago, formed the so-called [Silia] alliance with the surrounding nobles. I heard that the main purpose of the alliance is to improve the local people's livelihood, alleviate the crisis caused by the monsters, and even free the slaves of the orcs. ”

The words of the man on the stage made Lutega's scalp tingle, but he didn't expect him to point the limelight of the topic at himself as soon as he held his hands. What follows, then, is nothing more than a dangerous plan to promote a wave of corruption in the royal government and strive to make a concerted uprising.

And there is no doubt that as the host, of course, he knew that Lutega was also one of the guests who were invited to the banquet, and then naturally pushed himself onto the stage to make an introduction. In this regard, Lutga has no way to avoid it, so he can only be mentally prepared first.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This is simply a contempt for the royal faction and even the entire aristocratic class! At the same time, it is also a betrayal of the Goddess of Creation! The thought of such a great rebel actually entrenched on the side of the empire and doing whatever he wants, this lord is extremely worried! Not only this lord, but also His Majesty the Emperor is deeply anxious about this matter! We must work together to deal a severe blow to this kind of alliance and chaos with bad intentions!"

"Huh......?"

However, the aristocratic man's impassioned second half made Lutga completely dumbfounded. The development of the script was completely beyond his expectations, and he clearly called himself 'our king' and said that he would 'deal a blow to the Silian League'.

- What the hell is this, what ...... is going on? Is this a banquet where the royal nobles gather? Then why did you invite me here...... No, at this pace, I will be arrested on the spot by the guards in front of the public!

The young lord's mind was a mess, and cold sweat was pouring from his forehead under the mask. He began to move cautiously in the direction of the entrance, aiming at the guards next to the door, ready for battle. With Lutega's fighting ability, although ordinary soldiers are not a problem, if there are knights of the 'Legendary Blade' mixed in, he will have to use the power of the 'Holy Spirit' to deal with it.

Although the power of the elves that have stopped time is extremely powerful for ordinary people, it does not have much advantage in fighting against the 'Legendary Blade', which also wields elemental elves. When the 'Holy Spirit Armor' confronts each other, it will neutralize the direct influence caused by each other's 'Spirit Power'. This is especially detrimental to continuous effects such as 'Time Control', but is more beneficial for physical damage created by the power of the Elves such as impact and explosion.

Fortunately, he is different from a few months ago, because of the 'symbiotic contract' with Raki, the 'time' plundered by the Holy Elves of Time is no longer enough to shake the life span of Lutga and the dragon clan equally. But despite this, he hopes to avoid the use of 'blessing of the Holy Spirit' as much as possible.

――No problem, I'm sure I'll be able to escape. Unlike the previous time, I am not alone now, Sophia will provide support in secret, and there is no more reliable comrade-in-arms than my own daughter.

Just as Lutga was ready to grease the soles of his feet at any moment, the aristocratic man continued the conversation.

"But—though we have the elite army of the Empire, and the legendary blade of His Majesty the Emperor at our service, we are not to underestimate the power of our opponents. According to the information obtained by Benjue, not long ago, Celestia even launched a surprise attack on the Goddess Cult, the sacred [Enoses] tower was attacked, and the proud 'Holy Singers' also suffered heavy losses. Moreover, the Cylian Alliance kept shouting the banner of liberating the orcs, but tortured and killed thousands of orc slaves who sincerely repented [Enoses], which can be described as madness. For the sake of the justice of the Empire, for the teachings of the Goddess Cult, for the sake of the peace of all living beings!

The content of the words can be described as half-truths, but Lutga is not surprised, the intentions of the aristocratic men are obvious, and this level of negative publicity can be described as commonplace. However, Lutga still wanted to applaud - the cheekiness that dared to speak serious nonsense in front of him was simply worthy of respect.

"As for the chaotic alliance in the west, we must share the same hatred and make a statement to His Majesty the Emperor......!

In this way, the next topic revolves around how to deal a blow to the Celian Alliance. To tell the truth, what he said about specific tactics and strategies was completely the superficial views of a layman in war, and there was nothing to fear when he really went into battle. Moreover, on the basis of this kind of banquet of wine and meat, discussing military and political affairs as you like, this practice itself cannot help but sigh, it is simply a ridiculous child's play, it can only be said that the nobles of the royal faction have died of a hopeless drunken dream.

You must know that Celia is not a vulnerable farming town now, and her command has been trained by Sophia, equipped with weapons created by Elize, and the [Knights of the Luna] led by Alice. Regarding the power that [Luna Armor] showed, which is beyond common sense, even Lutga himself is unbelievable.

Therefore, the so-called strategy of aristocratic men is only blindly relying on the 'Blade of Legend' in the end.

Even if he really had to meet the 'Legendary Blade', Rutega would not sit still.

Although he was driven to the shelves at first, Lutga, as a responsible man, will not hesitate to use the power of Raghi in order to protect his territorial allies......

Before that, of course, is to find a way to rescue Hilda. If he succeeds in meeting with His Majesty the Emperor this time and borrows the help of the 'Legendary Blade', he may be able to avoid the boring struggle with the royal faction at the root.

However, the most incredible thing is that the situation that Lutga had feared from the beginning did not happen until the end of the speech, and no one noticed his presence.

In other words, the man on the stage had no idea that the 'leader of the Celian League' was mixed up in the banquet hall. And on the basis of his complete ignorance, he helped his short-sighted strategic plan to be exposed to the head of the enemy. This made Lutega feel that it was simply a farce.

This also adds to the puzzle - who made such an invitation and brought himself to this banquet dominated by the royal faction?

I don't know who it is, but I can't feel the malice of the other party. It may even have been a well-intentioned 'warning' from someone that allowed Lutga to be wary of the actions of the royal power beforehand.

"That's all for the serious gossip! Today, it's the same as before! Let's take on the main event with great anticipation!"

After such a declaration, the masked nobles in the audience let out a thunderous cheer that was incomparable to the political discussion just now.

-- Eh, eh!? Did he just talk at length about military and political strategy, but it turned out to be just gossip!?

As for the abrupt summary of the aristocratic man, Lutga couldn't help but complain in his heart, and at the same time, it also gave him a deeper understanding of the humorous nerves of the royal power. At the same time, it also aroused his interest in the next so-called 'big play'. What entertainment is more important than national events?

At this time, the 'iron frame' pushed up the steps by a tall and thin man dressed as a chef, and the 'thing' tied to the iron frame, answered Lutga's answer......
