Chapter 107: The Palace Banquet (4)
Now that the protagonist of the banquet has arrived, the dinner has officially begun, and under the guidance of the court attendants, everyone has found their place at the round table.
More than a dozen palace attendants were busy shuttling around, placing all kinds of delicacies on the table, although this was only a small banquet for seven or eight people, but Ryan looked at the rich food on the table, and estimated in his heart: I am afraid that if the number of people attending the banquet is doubled, I will not be able to eat all these things, His Majesty's life is really too luxurious.
In addition, Ryan could clearly see that Fernando XIII was much more enthusiastic about Alendor and Faras, and from time to time he would say a few words, and often joke with Victor and Faras.
This is exactly what Ryan wants, for him, if he can't be in the limelight, he won't be in the limelight, just like Alina, because she left too much impression on others in the game, no, even His Majesty the Emperor knows it very well, it seems to be good, but in fact it's not a good thing, Ryan doesn't do that kind of thing.
Since no one else cares about him, he just had a big meal, and Ryan, who was born as a hunter, really tasted the food that only His Majesty the Emperor could enjoy for the first time. Ryan even wanted to bring some back to his father and mother to taste, but of course it wasn't realistic, so this idea, Ryan just turned around in his head and threw it away.
However, Ryan is not the kind of greedy guy after all, although he keeps eating in his mouth, he is still paying attention to the situation of the entire banquet in his heart, and the words of His Majesty the Emperor and everyone are passed into Ryan's ears word for word.
Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor's words caught Ryan's attention: "Ellendo, the druids have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, and they don't ask about the world, I think it's a pity when I think about it, if I can form a druid army, it will definitely be better able to deal with those restless enemies of the empire." ”
Ryan's heart moved, and he thought, "It turns out that Your Majesty's banquet is not for nothing." ”
Ryan was thinking about things in his heart, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't hear the next few words clearly. Ryan hurriedly concentrated, only to hear Fernando XIII continue: "The Holy Knights are good at large legion battles, such as the rebellion of Senate this time, and the counterinsurgency of Orlando is a battle that can be written in military books. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of the fugitive Sennat, the Holy Knights were limited by their oaths and various other disadvantages and were very passive. If Senate had been hunted down by a team of druids, I believe he would have been brought to justice. ”
Obviously, Fernando XIII's words were beyond Ellendo's expectations, and he thought that His Majesty the Young Emperor would entertain him only out of curiosity, but he did not expect that he would have other ideas.
Since the beginning of the banquet, Fernando XIII has been constantly praising how great the druid's sacrifice was and how kind his heart was, and now he suddenly said his plan, hoping that through Elendo, he could form a druid army, which made Elendor at a loss.
At first glance, Fernando XIII's idea seems to be quite good, but the situation of the druid tribe is not as simple as he imagined, and besides, Elendor is just an ordinary transformation druid in the tribe, how can he replace the druid elders?
It was absolutely impossible to say yes on the spot, but to refuse immediately, Alendor couldn't say anything, he didn't know what to do, so he looked at Victor with his eyes, and then at Guanla, hoping that they would come forward to relieve him.
Victor was also a little surprised in his heart, generally speaking, His Majesty the Emperor would discuss it with the relevant personnel before formally proposing such a more important matter. Unexpectedly, at such an ordinary banquet, Fernando XIII suddenly proposed to recruit the Druid army.
Not to mention the question of whether the military budget has passed the empire's financial budget, everyone knows nothing about the situation of the druids, and it is indeed inappropriate for His Majesty to propose it so presumptuously, if the matter does not succeed, it will lose His Majesty's prestige.
Victor saw Elendo's face, and secretly screamed in his heart, he knew that although Fernando XIII was young, he did things exactly and resolutely, and if he was angry because Elendor rejected his proposal, it would be very tricky.
So Victor coughed lightly and whispered to Fernando XIII: "Your Majesty, your idea is very good. But as far as I know, there is a reason why the druids lived in seclusion in the mountains, and now that Alendor is here, I might as well listen to him. ”
Fernando XIII turned his head to look at Victor, then at Allendo with expectant eyes.
Alendor didn't have any confidence in his heart, he followed Ryan's usual appearance, scratched his head, carefully thought about the wording in his heart, and then slowly said to Fernando XIII: "Your Majesty, it's not that the druids are unwilling to contribute to the empire, but the druids themselves can't form a large-scale legion. ”
"Oh?" Allendo's words aroused the interest of everyone present, even Ryan, who had known Allendo for the longest time, for the first time.
Alendor cleared his throat and said to Fernando XIII: "We druids believe in the power of nature, the goddess of nature is our supreme faith, and she has given us infinite power. In the fight against evil, we can use the power of birds and beasts, such as me, with the help of the power of the wind wolf. ”
Speaking of this, everyone nodded in unison.
Seeing that Fernando XIII also nodded, Alendor felt a lot more confident in his heart, and he continued: "But this power does not belong to us, in order to obtain greater power, we must be in the company of these birds and beasts, to feel the source of that power. This is also the reason why the druids have always lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Moreover, birds and animals are natural enemies of each other, so even among us druids, many people rarely interact. Your Majesty, you have seen a hundred wolves fighting bravely under the leadership of a wolf, but who has ever heard that a hundred different beasts of prey can fight together without any trouble? ”
"I see. Fernando XIII's face showed a look of disappointment, but he was not ready to give up, and asked, "So, Elendo." How many of the druids are there who use the power of the wind wolf like you?"
Elendor shrugged his shoulders and said, "Druids are just our collective name, in fact, we are divided into many tribes, large and small. When we encounter the situation two hundred years ago, we druids naturally want to unite and elect three great elders to command in a unified manner, and in normal times," Alendor looked at Fernando XIII helplessly and said, "Usually we live in seclusion, so I don't know how many wind wolves like me have transformed in the entire druid tribe." My tribe is not very large, there are less than a hundred people who can skillfully use the transformation, and most of them usually live in seclusion in inaccessible places, and do not want to come out and move around. ”
Fernando XIII thought for a moment and asked, "Then why did you come out, Elendo?"
Seeing that his previous explanations had passed, Alendor was relieved, and when he heard Fernando XIII's inquiry again, he said without thinking: "That's because I just gained the ability to transform and become an official druid." Elder Black Bear asked me to come out for a trial, and every druid will do it. I joined Faraz's Lace team by coincidence, otherwise I might still be walking alone in the wilderness right now. ”
