Chapter 40 at the Banquet

In order to welcome the highest-ranking papal clergy who have come to the imperial capital in the past three years, the Lawrence Imperial Court has mobilized, whether it is a pro-papal faction or an imperial faction, they are all busy for this matter.

The power of the Holy See is well known to the world, and even the officials of the imperial faction will not be embarrassed by such a thing as a welcome banquet that cannot cause real harm, otherwise, the Holy See will retaliate, not to mention the damage, and the gain will not outweigh the loss.

Since a few days ago, a large number of troops have been stationed in this garden, of course, not elite, and the task is not to defend anything, just ordinary hygiene. As one of the largest royal gardens in the imperial capital, it is not open on weekdays, and even if the royal family occasionally holds banquets, it is rare to use Changchun Garden, after all, there are smaller, cheaper gardens that can be used. It is not always necessary to invite a large group of people, and if the number of people is small, a few people in a huge garden will feel deserted.

The result of a long time of no one cares about it is that the flowers and plants in this garden need to be trimmed, the houses need to be repaired, the window sills, the window lattices, and everywhere are full of dust, and it is not easy for the kitchen to be restored to use, all the kitchen utensils and tableware must be cleaned, the curtains, curtains, and silk flowers in the halls, corridors, corridors, warm pavilions, etc.

In just a few days, relying on almost unlimited manpower, the empire completed the preparation of this garden, and was ready to welcome distinguished guests and hold banquets.

On the evening of the 10th, the people in the garden were replaced by a group of well-trained soldiers, and the groundwork was completed, which was the unit responsible for defending the garden, and would take on the security task in the next few days...... Of course, only the periphery, the security of the core area is the responsibility of the Holy See's troops.

Early in the morning of the 11th, more people entered the garden, including the female officials in the palace, the chefs of the major restaurants in Lawrence City and their disciples, the compradors of the supply department in the palace, a large number of people carrying vegetables and fruits, driving chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and sheep, and waterwheels transporting all kinds of seafood. The back kitchen was full of chickens and dogs, and the blood of the animals stained the drain crimson red, and the smell of blood was so strong that it could not be washed away with a large amount of water.

Preparations were made until the evening before the banquet began.

In the evening, the sun's rays gradually dimmed, and a large number of magic lamps lit up the nearby space in the rooms, on the cloister, on the eaves, in the garden, by the roadside, on the walls, and especially at the gate. The dignitaries and dignitaries who arrived early in the park were talking about something in groups with wine glasses, and various forces and factions were seizing the time to unify their understanding and reaction.

The protagonist of this banquet, Victor Mu, has already arrived in the back garden lounge, and it is not yet time for him to appear, and the protagonist always appears at the last minute. The head of the Lawrence Empire's papal faction in the court, the right prime minister, is briefing Victor about what has happened in the Lawrence Empire's court recently, and what the queen has asked him to help with.

After the death of his second wife in his own hands, Victor did not plan to marry his third wife so early, because he was tired of playing for the time being. Moreover, as soon as they arrived in Lawrence City, there were already a bunch of soft bones who sent many female slaves, and even civil officials and businessmen who sent their own daughters, and there were not a few civil officials and businessmen who gave away their own daughters, and they did not have such a strong desire to marry a wife for the time being.

According to Victor's idea, he was going to go back to marry his third wife after a few years of playing on the battlefield and then playing, but he really didn't pay attention to the request of the daughter of a regional bishop, as for the identity of the queen? What is it? Can you eat it?

The purpose of the right minister's trip was to persuade Victor to help the queen's plan, but he was not confident in this, everyone knew that Victor Mu never listened to anyone's opinion, and the main purpose of this trip was to inform the Lawrence Empire of the movements in the court, and mentioned the queen's plan by the way.

As expected, Victor had no interest in the queen's plans, but showed an extraordinary interest in the self-propelled magic cannon, a new land weapon that had just appeared, known as the future, and kept asking about everything related to such a new weapon, and after discovering that the right relative knew little about it, he decisively blasted him out of the lounge, and called the priest in charge of intelligence in Lawrence Cathedral by the way.

The sky is getting darker, and the time for the official start of the banquet is getting closer and closer, Princess Sophia, who is the focus of this banquet, and the people from the magic academy who have already spread the news to rescue Princess Sophia have not yet arrived, and suddenly there is an alarm sound from the direction of the imperial capital, and it can be seen from a distance that the nine gates of the imperial capital have been closed, the soldiers on the city wall are running around, and the magic bullets used for heavenly communication are flying non-stop.

The commotion in the imperial capital was so great that the knight Victor, who was talking secretly in the lounge, came to the balcony on the upper floor of the banquet hall to look at it from a distance, and the spies who inquired about the news did not wait for orders, turned on his horse, and quickly disappeared into the boulevard in the eyes of everyone.

After a while, the spies returned, and the people who stayed in the garden learned that a high-level magical beast appeared in the imperial capital, like a flattened carriage, with wheels, without horse-pulling, and its head emitted a strong white light, and it was running wildly on the streets of the imperial capital at a very fast speed, making a piercing scream, it seemed that the eldest lady of the Jefferson family had been kidnapped, and the guards and knights of the Duke of Jefferson's Mansion were in pursuit.

Hearing the spies' reply, Victor was silent, just standing on the balcony with half a glass of red wine, his hands constantly shaking, and his eyes changed with the shaking of the wine in the glass. After a long while, the spies kneeling behind them felt that they had done something wrong. Could it be that the commander was taking this opportunity to warn himself?

Timidly raised his head secretly, and saw a big hand rapidly enlarged in front of him, and before he could react, that hand grabbed his collar, pulled the whole person up with force, and slammed it on the balcony handrail.

"Is that what you're talking about?"

The spy was startled, and opened his eyes to see, but no, like a flattened carriage, it had wheels, and it didn't need to be horse-pulled, but the speed of movement was not fast, the screaming sound was not loud, and the white light on the head was not so dazzling. Behind the monster, there was a group of knights, looking at the coat of arms, it was indeed the knight of the guard of the Duke of Jefferson's palace.

I saw that the steel monster slowly moved to the red carpet and stopped, and something like a door on the left side was opened, and a person came out of it, looking at the person who was still dressed as a student of the magic academy, the male student slowly bypassed the front of the monster, reached the other side, opened the door, and reached out to help out a beautiful girl from inside.

The spy was shocked, the male student didn't know, this girl did know, isn't this the daughter of Duke Jefferson's family?

Victor's cold voice came from the side: "Spread the military information in vain, go back and get 20 sticks." ”

The body that has been exercising all the year round knelt down on one knee before the brain reacted, and shouted in his mouth: "Commander Xie!", silently exiting the reception area at the front of the garden, even if he knew that the 20 military sticks might break his femur, he did not dare to raise a little resistance.

In the drop-off area of the garden gate, Qin Shouzhuo threw the key casually, and a thin figure among the guard knights jumped up to catch it, and rolled on the spot to eliminate the impact when he landed, it was the third child of the research club, but not many people knew him here.

The third child took the key, sat in the silver phantom, forcibly suppressed the desire to rush out and run around, gritted his teeth and desperately said to himself, "Don't get involved in politics!" "Don't get involved in politics!" "Don't get involved in politics!" Just as a puppet, he got into the car and drove the silver phantom to the side according to the arrangement, and stopped in the waiting area, and waited for the banquet to end with the escort knights.

Qin Shou, who threw out the key, stood clumsily in front of the door of the banquet hall, his right arm slightly bent. Rafeier, who had already won the position of the four beauties in the imperial capital with a plain face, was even more beautiful after being carefully dressed, and standing naturally had already made many women ashamed of themselves tonight.

Coming out of the car, Rafeier, whose excitement on her face had not yet subsided, naturally grabbed Qin Shouclum's arm, raised her head and chest, and showed her arrogant temperament. The stunned doorman did not react until he was hit on the head by a peanut flying from nowhere, quickly took a deep breath, and shouted the visitor's name loudly.

"Duke Manjushri's Palace, Miss Rafael Jefferson has arrived~~~~~~~~!"

"Wow~~~~"

The entire banquet hall erupted in discussion, and the headmaster, Cristina, and Grand Knight Alku Dora, who had arrived early, greeted him.

"I knew that you wouldn't come with us old guys, and I thought you were just enjoying the two-person world with Raphael, but I didn't expect you to make such a big move quietly. ”

"Good evening, Your Excellency the Headmaster, as well as Teacher Christina, Grand Knight of Alku, good evening. Wearing a student dress, Qin Shouzhuo, who came as a student, should naturally mix with the school representatives, obviously the owner of the invitation, but Rafeier, who was willing to be a female companion, naturally found the school's representative first with Qin Shouzhuo.

Just now, Qin Shouzhuo threw out the key, and a man with low magic power and obscene-looking took the key, and then parked the car aside, and the people in the entire hall saw it. What does this prove? Qin Shouzhuo, who invented the self-propelled magic cannon, not only developed a new product in the next few days, but also this product only recognized the key, and did not limit the user to what a powerful magician was.

Coupled with the rumors of the steel monster before, not to mention anything else, the headlights that can shine dozens or hundreds of meters away are enough to be included in the B-level military secret level of technology. In particular, it seems that the car is not armed, which means that it is very likely that it is only a civilian item, so it is very likely that you will be able to own one!!

More importantly, the right to produce and sell.

Qin Shouzhuo's contract with the Imperial Army's four self-propelled magic cannons has been spread, the sky-high price of 900,000 silver coins per unit can be called the most expensive weapon except for the super heavy magic cannon system, this car is also made of similar technology, selling for 500,000 is not expensive at all, not only is it not expensive, a group of nobles secretly swore in their hearts that as long as it does not exceed 1 million, they must take one as soon as possible!

What is an aristocracy? Money is just a floating cloud, but face is the fundamental!

And the businessman has begun to calculate how much profit he can make from selling this kind of car, how much he can take out to impress Qin Shouchuang, and how much to beat his competitors. As for whether Qin Shouzhuo is willing to mass-produce this kind of car, no one cares, after all, in their opinion, if they can make one, they can make a bunch of them, as long as the benefits paid are enough, no one will refuse a money-making business. Just when the hall was noisy, the voice of the doorman shouted at the door:

"Her Royal Highness the Great Lawrence Empire, with Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia, drove to !!!!"
