Chapter 333: Zhang Yang's Proposal (I)
"Send troops to aid the Elven Forest?"
A playful voice sounded in the center of the hall, followed by a low laugh, as if it had been laughed out of silence, and as if it had been done on purpose.
The surrounding bands tacitly stopped playing, and the nobles attending the banquet looked over one after another, with different expressions.
"Princess Natalia, I heard about the situation in the Elven Forest a few days ago, and I am very willing to lend a hand, but you may not know the situation of our Western Fantasy Federation."
Crodiel's words were sincere, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his sincere expression.
"It's still very reluctant for the city to protect itself, we are really powerless, and we ask the two of you to forgive us for our difficulties."
Speaking of this, he touched his chest with his right hand, leaned over slightly, and smiled: "Although the city of the end of the light is powerless to help, if the elves are willing, the gate of the city of the end of the city will be open for the beautiful elves at any time." ”
When he mentioned the word 'beautiful', the male aristocrats around him suddenly showed a malicious smile.
Although she had known that this would be the outcome before she came, and although Natalia had been trying her best to control her emotions, her face still became extremely ugly.
"Princess Natalia, instead of worrying about the future, it is better to let go of your worries and enjoy today's dinner, nothing is not over, and you must believe that tomorrow will be better."
Crodil smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to the long table next to him: "I hope the food in Crodil Palace can meet the appetite of the two." ”
As soon as the words fell, he was suddenly stunned.
The long tables that were originally filled with all kinds of delicacies for the guests to use at their own discretion were all left with empty white plates.
Although the amount of food on each plate was not large for aesthetic reasons, for the nobles, the main purpose of the banquet was to socialize, and the taste of food was secondary.
Therefore, there has never been a banquet where all the food on the table will be eaten, after all, the nobles are still very decent and will not overeat on such occasions.
Who the hell is it?!
Crodiel's face twitched slightly, and his falcon-sharp gaze quickly scanned the scene.
In the city of the end of the light, the price of food has always been high, and the cost of the materials for tonight's banquet alone has reached nearly one million Dongxuan coins.
Although the food reserves in the Claudir Palace were sufficient, enough for him to hold such a banquet for more than 100 people every once in a while, and this money was nothing to him, it was all his personal property, even if he would throw out all the food that he could not eat after the banquet, no one would be allowed to sneak into the banquet to eat and drink.
Besides, the current situation is no longer as simple as eating and drinking, and the food on the long table has been stolen under his nose, which is a matter of face.
Soon, at the end of the long table, Claudir saw two young men in poor clothes who should not have appeared on such an occasion.
He felt that these two people were vaguely familiar, as if they had just met, but he couldn't think of that much now.
He was angry.
"Someone!"
Crodil raised his hand and summoned two servants: "How did those two men get in?" Take them down for me. ”
One of the servants glanced at Natalia, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "My lord, those two came with these two elves. ”
Crodil was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, when Natalia came in just now, in addition to Russell, there were indeed two people behind her.
It's just that he was patronizing the show at the time, and his attention was so focused on Natalia that he didn't notice what the two men were doing later.
Natalia also seemed to be shocked by the actions of Wu and the others, and watched in a daze for a long time, until she heard the conversation between the servant and Crodil, and then came back to her senses.
She bowed slightly: "Duke Crodier, I'm very sorry, my two friends are from Dongxuan, and they don't understand the etiquette of the banquet, please forgive me." ”
Dongxuan ...... When Crodil heard this, he took a closer look, and found that Wu Yu and the others had yellow skin and black eyes, and they were indeed Dongxuan's people, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
The Dongxuan people who came to Moguang City have always been merchants and caravan guards, and there will be no casual cultivation, because it is impossible to obtain the customs clearance documents of Jianyuan from casual cultivation.
As for whether they would be smuggled from the Extreme South Beast Forest or the Extreme North Desert, it would be even more impossible, even if it was a king, they might not be able to make such a long detour to the City of the End of Light alive.
Therefore, the only possibility is Jianyuan's Zhenyuan Army.
It has not been a day or two since the Elven Forest was surrounded by two dark legions, and it was reasonable for Dongxuan Kingdom to get this news and send someone to investigate the situation, or to find out the attitude of Doom City.
But the cultivation of these two people is inevitably too low...... Crodil released his perception and found that both of them were fifth-level and third-turn cultivators.
The Zhenyuan Army is as strong as a cloud, and it stands to reason that it should not send a fifth-level mystic person to come.
And Natalia just said that these two are her friends, how could elves become friends with humans?
Crodil knew very well that if it weren't for the approaching limit of the Sacred Tree of Life, it would be absolutely impossible for him to ask for help from Endlight City with the character of an elf, so at this moment, he was a little unsure of the identity and purpose of those two.
"It turned out to be Princess Natalia's friend, and I was reckless."
In a flash of thought, Claudir decided to observe and observe first, so as not to adapt to all changes.
He kept a polite smile: "I can see that they like the food in Crodil Palace very much, so I'll ask people to make more." ”
Seeing that Natalia seemed to want to say something, he took the lead and said: "Princess Natalia, you must be very tired from coming from afar, I have already instructed the servants to prepare a guest room upstairs, you can enjoy the perfect meal, and let the servants take you back to the room to rest early." ”
"Of course, you can also have the servants bring the food to the room."
"I'm going to entertain the other guests, so I'm sorry for the first time, and I wish you a wonderful evening at the Clodir Palace."
With that, Crodil walked quickly to the side with his wine glass, joining in the conversation of several nobles, not giving Natalia any chance to speak.
Although Russell could not understand the conversation between them, he could also tell from Natalia's low expression that the negotiations just now did not go well, although this was expected.
"Your Royal Highness, what should we do now?"
Natalia took a deep breath and said with some sorrow: "It seems that we can only choose to defect to the City of the Last Light, and I hope that tomorrow's negotiations will go well." ”
They had prepared for the worst before they came, and if the City of Doom did not provide any assistance, then they would have to compromise with the humans in exchange for the continuation of the race.
