Chapter 70: The lights are bright, and the "beast tide" is coming
October 19th is Edison's birthday, which indicates that he has been in this world line for 20 years before he knows it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
With Edison's current status, even if he doesn't care about this day, it is impossible for others not to express it.
So, Edison simply began to send invitations a month in advance, and planned to hold this birthday party at the newly opened Hilton Hotel in the imperial capital.
Nominally, this hotel belongs to Anasta and is also a partner hotel designated by the Gourmets Association, so whether it is the hotel's decoration, location or kitchen staff, it is the top in the empire, and it is enough to entertain some guests with status.
What's more, Edison didn't plan to have a bloated, commercial birthday party, so he had a personal relationship, even if all his girlfriends and fiancées were counted, and he could invite a few hundred people.
It's just that this decision has been made for less than half a month, and it has to be ...... Charles, Lancer, and David Under the interference of others, it was changed to a public birthday party, and at the same time, the number of invitees was increased to an accurate 13,897 people.
Soon, almost the entire empire, the forces that had had a large deal with Lancer's side, received an invitation.
It can be said that this time, the middle and high-level logistics suppliers of the major forces in the entire territory of the Magic Empire have been named.
......
There are two reasons for this change.
The first is that the "Beast Tide" has not yet begun, and with the empire of the "Mirror World", a huge number of high-level demonic beasts have been observed, and there is a very unnatural gathering situation.
Second, many "legendary beastmasters" who have switched to the empire have drafted a flawed population recovery plan to the legendary higher-ups.
In fact, for the emergence of this situation, the empire has been mentally prepared since the end of the last "beast tide".
Since the end of the "Beast Tide" 7 years ago, the empire has purposefully tilted and adjusted resources, and strengthened the strategic deployment of a ring of cities in various continents and areas bordering Warcraft.
Even a month ago, taking advantage of the autumn harvest and the price of goods to be flat, a large number of materials were purchased, and all the brains were mobilized to the front line of the first ring area.
At the same time, a number of concealed teleportation material magic arrays were laid to avoid the difficulty of strategic transfer of personnel after the road was interrupted.
Even the person in charge of the ring of the clever point has spontaneously notified them to move to the nearest town in some small villages in the wild, and spend the most difficult two months of the "beast tide".
This time Edison's birthday just coincided with his meeting, and on the occasion of his birthday, he pulled all the people in charge of logistics from all continents over to get together again, and he heard about his life.
When the time comes, the front-line fighters of the empire are fighting for life and death on the front line, and a group of people behind them are there to raise prices and road expenses, and it is difficult for the soldiers to change more life-saving equipment in private, and they can't even eat well.
......
"So, why leave such a troublesome matter to me, I've been standing here like a fool for more than two hours now, smiling, chatting, and drinking at every guest who toasts to me. ”
In the spiritual link, Edison's helpless complaint spread, but in exchange for the laughter of warblers and swallows.
and Alyslan's gloating: "Who made you a boy now, according to Dad, boys should have more contact and deal with all kinds of people, so that they will be more responsible in the future!"
"I feel like even if I don't interact with these people, I'm a responsible person. Edison complained self-deprecatingly, and continued to deal with the social etiquette of the banquet.
I don't know how many times I say it in my mouth, repeating the numb social rhetoric that I'm already talking about, but fortunately he has an excellent memory and reacts quickly.
For everyone who came up to toast and bless him, he was able to say his name smoothly, and he was saying some of the things they were more proud of in their lives, bringing a feeling of "I am really good, you see, even the host here can know me so well and pay attention to me".
But the fact is that in the middle and late stages of the banquet, Edison directly made an incarnation of faith in the spiritual space, mechanically connected to a huge memory bank, and then according to the rules of the banquet, set up an eight-sided exquisite character template, and began to act according to the instructions.
Speaking of which, this ability is a bit similar to "distraction", but in fact, it is just a high-end application of spiritual power and the power of faith.
On the other hand, Edison used a spiritual link to chat with his girlfriend, fiancée, and sister.
Suddenly, the doppelganger prompted that an important person marked by Edison was coming, and Edison hurriedly cut off the spiritual link.
When he came back to his senses, it turned out to be Lancer and several legends, who finally came over in the middle of the banquet and pressed him down.
Edison breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly stepped forward to clink glasses, and then introduced his father and several Tesla family elders to the surrounding guests, and then sat down at a table with a few people justifiably.
In an instant, the people around Edison were almost scattered, and even if a few came to toast occasionally, they were all people who thought that their strength and the forces behind them were good, and there were only 200 such characters in Edison's invitation.
This group of people is relatively reserved, and they only see that the people around them are empty, and they will come forward to show their existence.
As soon as they exit, they either talk about their experience in governing forces, or they have a large amount of business, which is often settled in a few words, and the specific contracts and details are waited for when the time comes, and then let their subordinates solve the negotiations in private.
It would be nice to hear an intention to cooperate in their mouths.
......
The birthday party, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., showed no signs of ending, but was constantly being attended by new people.
While everyone's eyes were eating, drinking, and talking, they were also unconsciously aiming at the big screen directly above the banquet.
At 10:30 a.m., the communication stone in the legend's hand lit up, and several legends nodded slightly, and whispered, "Ready, do you want to start?" ”
Charles said, "Let's get started! let everyone here see the power of magic." ”
Lancer corrected solemnly, "It's not just magic, it's the power of knowledge. ”
As a magician, he was complained about by a legendary warrior, and Charles was also full of black lines.
However, in the blink of an eye, the originally empty screens lit up one after another, and the screen was divided into 30 pieces, showing the situation of the 5 continents and the forest where the Warcraft was active, and the closest one of the big cities in the Ring Region.
The guests who came to the banquet stopped talking one after another, and turned to quietly look at the screen with a clear outdoor scene of the big city.
After a while, before there was any movement on the screen, many people who didn't know the situation well began to talk in whispers.
"What do you mean by these videos?"
"There are a few familiar scenes, it seems to be the scenery outside the 'Beast Acropolis'!"
"Are you sure, how many magic crystals will it cost to project this?"
......
Until the picture, located in the "Beast Acropolis" in the Southern Continent, the originally calm ground suddenly cracked, and a stubble of ground-drilling demonic beasts broke out of the ground, officially opening the curtain for this "beast tide" attack. (To be continued.) )
