Chapter 212, the Gunshots of Fate! (5400 words chapter!) )
"Strange, where's Xia Lu?"
Aaron took Alice Searle's arm, and he searched around the banquet site, but did not see the eldest lady.
"Xia Lu? She followed her mentor to Arabel for Madame Raul's celebratory feast. Alice Searle felt very uncomfortable when she saw that Aaron was still thinking about other women by her side, but after all, the eldest lady came first, and the two were good girlfriends, so she didn't have much to say.
Damn, according to the information of the Queen's Blade, that half-elf priest of Suren was the first!
Charlotte is her best friend, Alice Searle can barely accept it, what's going on with that little priest?
Well, Aaron is too closely bound to the Church of Our Lady of Silver, and it's really hard for her to get out.
The Silver Chamber of Commerce is able to provide Cormier with a lot of taxes a year.
It seems that there is an excuse to teach her a lesson, or at least let her know that there is a difference between dignity and inferiority.
When the princess made up her mind, Aaron was nervous.
The eldest lady was transferred away like this? He hadn't received any news before, so he should have been taken by the old mage to the north to attend Lady Raul's banquet.
Charlotte's dismissal had alerted Aaron, but the food at the banquet had taken away the princess's attention.
A buffet plate was filled with milkshake-like stuff, with bright red strawberries on top and milky white gelatinous lines like fish scales underneath.
"What is this? Looks like a dessert? Alice Searle pointed to the plate.
There were many "successful people" gathered around, but when they saw the princess coming, none of the men tried to come up and talk to them, all of them saluted politely and quickly avoided them, far away.
"Well, this is a famous dish, called Moon Man Fermented Fish Ripple Wave." Aaron smiled: "Legend has it that back then, the Silver Lady of the Nether came to Deep Water City and opened a small shop in Deep Water City, one day, the Silver Holy Mother was preparing cheese, but found that the cheese was a little spoiled for unknown reasons, and it became loose and soft, with a pattern like fish scales on it. ”
"Our Lady of Silver did not want to waste food, but she was afraid that it would be uncomfortable to spoil and eat people, and when she was hesitating, a male visitor smelled a fragrance and came to her, and offered to taste what it tasted like."
"After he tasted it, he said that the bean curd was really delicious, and there was a slight evocative sourness, and the Silver Lady was very happy, and in order to thank the male customer for his help, he named this dessert Moon Man Sufu Fish Ripple Bobo."
Alice Searle tasted it and nodded again and again: "Well, it's really delicious, in addition to the rich milk flavor, there is also a slight evocative sourness." ”
"Your Highness likes it." Aaron also tasted a little: "Your Highness seems to like sweets? ”
"Before bathing in the blood of the ancient dragon, I used to have a fattening physique, and coupled with my military career, I rarely came into contact with sweets." Alice Searle said casually, "But how did you know I like sweets?" What did Xia Lu tell you? ”
"Xia Lu once told me a very interesting topic, saying that she and you have just met for a short time, Her Royal Highness, when she goes into the city to shop, she is like a local girl from the countryside." Aaron quipped, "It's a shame I didn't get to see it in person." ”
】
The princess's golden slender eyebrows quickly provoked a terrifying arc: "Xia Lu, this traitor!" Do you like to laugh at me in front of you so much? It seems that the next time we meet, we will have to slash her first...... She could have dodged anyway. ”
The first sword on the shore, first cut off your girlfriend, right?
Aaron couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
The two of them ate a little pre-dinner dessert, and Aaron saw his former Paladin Norrington, who had been the same time as the Holy Warrior, and Fiolena, the knight of the Guards who had changed his clothes and entered the banquet, and he and the princess confessed, and the two were temporarily separated.
The princess also had a visitor, and a merchant wearing a bowler hat, original glasses with a single piece of gold chain on his face, a mustache, a tuxedo, a gold pocket watch, a small pipe, and an ornate magic staff came to Alice Serre.
Alice Searle recognized him, Walter Kruger, the richest local merchant in Susar, none of them.
"Your Highness, can you listen to our appeal?" Kruger's hair was gray, and he said humbly.
"If you have to." Alice Searle nodded, and she gave Aaron one last look, motioning for Mr. Kruger to move.
"Norrington, Fiorina, are you ready?"
Aaron was behind the fountain pool, explaining the matter to the paladin and the knight of the guard: "If you stay for a while, you will change your armor and wear it according to the established plan, and be ready for battle at any time." ”
Fiorina didn't speak, she just nodded her head to indicate that she knew.
The attitude of the paladin Norrington was different, and when he learned from Aaron that this banquet might change, his whole mental state was different, and he began to get excited.
After taking revenge on the orcs, Norrington's heart was empty, and he didn't know what he was supposed to do for a while.
Now that Aaron had given him a purpose, a brand new one, and the paladin had seen the direction of his life again, how could he not be excited? Aaron is the Arabell's Pent, the hero of the kingdom!
"It's all set."
"Good." Aaron nodded.
Now it's up to the Duke of Caspar and the Son of Bane to do what they plan to do.
At the same time, in the small garden of the manor, the Duke of Caspar was chatting with several young officers.
This chat was arranged by Mannacone, and the manuscript was prepared for him in advance, and as Duke Caspar recited the manuscript in his stomach, the manuscript filled with the key words "dignity, freedom, indomitability, glory, ancestry, nation, country" quickly won the applause of these young officers.
Duke Marelli's eldest grandson, Gordon, is also among them, and if you remember, the brother once had a big fight in the Dragon Tooth Bar over a street brawl between Catgirl and Aaron's group of purple dragon recruits.
Duke Marelli supported Duke Caspar, but instead of supporting it directly, he sent Gordon out to support it indirectly.
"The recovery of Arabel is just the beginning, now, the country needs you at the right time, as soldiers, we must never forget that it is our duty and task to defend our homeland and country, and we will definitely make all the people proud of us."
Duke Caspar felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he looked at the fanatical appearance of these young soldiers, and knew that Mannerkorn was fanning their belligerence again, so that, despite the repeated remonstrance of his friend to tell him not to say superfluous things, Duke Caspar added in a mysterious way: "In short, there can be no more unfortunate soldiers like the former Majesty Yasan IV!" ”
The other young officers were still in a frenzy, and only Gordon's heart chuckled.
“?”
What does the Duke mean by this?
Is he planning to deny the countless conquests and battles of Asan IV since he succeeded to the throne, the golden age of thousands of soldiers who fought bloodily, and the glory of his choice to die with the evil dragon for the sake of the peace of the kingdom?
Gordon's face was cloudy, the former king was his idol, and he himself was a noble relative of the country!
Caspar, is this going to dig Cormier's roots after ascending to the throne? Deny them these nobles?
The duke's grandson quickly hid his puzzled look and applauded along.
…………
"Impossible!"
In the guest room, Alice Sel's long black silk legs were stilted, and the regent held her hands on her chest and shook her head calmly: "This is impossible, Mr. Kruger, it is impossible for me to lift the curfew, relax the inspection, and even less dissolve the Queen's Blade." ”
"Your Highness, the war has ended, more than a year, how long do you plan to continue this kind of control?" Kruger tapped his cane on the ground: "This has seriously affected trade, and now that Arabel has reclaimed, it's time to lift these bans." ”
"It's not time yet, and there are still some problems within the kingdom." Alice Serre continued to shake her head: "When the time is right, I will lift the ban." ”
"Your Highness! Endless bans will only lead to the decline of this pearl on the shore of Longhu! Let our business be taken away by Serre's Red Robes, by the Seven Suns Chamber of Commerce, by Baldur's Gate, and by Am's Business Princes! Also, I don't know what the need for an organization like the Queen's Blade exists, is it the duty of these people to come to our warehouses all day long, look through our goods at will, and arbitrarily issue us fines? The more the big businessman spoke, the more angry he became: "If you come once, you will be punished once, and you have taken enough, right?" ”
Alice Serre was silent, she also knew the problem of the queen's blade, and she had rectified it, but the effect was not very good, this kind of organization was only responsible for the princess because of its excessive authority, and she understood everything.
"Your Highness, Yasan IV has been dead for a long time, and we all deeply regret their deaths, but how can such a thing as the Queen's Blade continue to exist in a grand manner?"
"Boom!"
A little chill flashed, and Kruger was immediately silenced.
Before he could finish speaking, Alice's sword was already on Kruger's head, and the sharp and cold blade touched the skin of the big businessman, making him shiver.
"I don't allow you to insult your father." The princess's voice was as cold as a thousand years of night: "This is the last time, Kruger." ”
"."
The big businessman was lifted out of the room by Alice Searle like a teacup.
Kruger got up from the ground, straightened his top hat and hung up his gold-chained monocle, the anger in his eyes almost uncontrollable.
I've given you a chance, the princess of steel!
"Go and tell the head of the Anaheim family that our Kruger Chamber of Commerce has agreed to his conditions and will fully cooperate." After calling his subordinates, President Kruger said coldly.
"Yes!"
The hidden Manna Cohen soon got the news.
The Son of Bane replied with a surging sentence, I know.
After the subordinate left, Mannacone clenched the dragon head bottle in his arms hard.
Now, you're all set!
It's time for the feast.
On the other hand, after Aaron explained everything, he finally got the news of the treacherous Xiling.
He has done everything he can do, he has prepared everything he can do, and now he is waiting for everything to happen naturally.
It's time for the feast.
The formal banquet was held in the manor's dining room, and the main table consisted of only a few people, including the royal daughter, Aaron, the Duke of Caspar and Mannakorn, and the host of the place, Madame Lavellet.
My sister and brother-in-law haven't had dinner together for a long time, and since they began to fight for regency, their former family relationship has come to naught, and there are only differences between them.
In this way, at the door of the restaurant, Aaron and Manna Cohen met unexpectedly.
Seeing each other, both of them were stunned.
"Unexpectedly, we met here after all." Mannakhen stopped first, and he sighed.
"We are destined to meet here." Aaron also stopped: "You know. ”
The Son of Bane sighed again, he looked at Aaron's face as handsome as a mortal, as the stars and the distant sky, and leaned on the railing: "I really don't understand. ”
"What don't you understand?" Aaron also had his back to the railing.
"What the hell are you so stubborn for? Look at what you've become of yourself? You are a god son, and you actually immerse yourself in a surname, a glory and a love? This is a desecration of the amazing talents you possess! Why don't you want to create the future with me? The Son of Ban said angrily, "How can a great husband be born between heaven and earth, and live under the eyes of man for a long time? ”
"Aaron Salian, do you really want to be a subordinate to the princess? Are you really willing to be dominated by her? Why the hell do you like to be a subordinate so much? ”
"Hahahaha~" Aaron smiled loudly, the corners of his mouth curled, and he shook his head under the gaze of Ban Miko: "Why are you so confident?" Why do you always feel like you can just because you are the Son of God? There are so many things in the kingdom, just a son of God, what's the big deal? And...... Not everyone wants to be the king, not everyone has only conquer and rule in their minds, there are many things that I cherish, power is only one part of it, you and I have different paths. ”
"Heh, then we can choose a different path!" Manna Cohen pulled out a gold coin from his bosom: "I can promise that you can leave with that woman, I will not hunt you down, I swear in the name of Bane, you can take her to the territory, you can take all your supporters, your family, your friends!" I can promise you well to be your sunset baron! ”
"When I borrow the army of this country, return to the sea of the moon, ascend to my father's throne, and ascend to the sky, I can give you this country, all to you!"
"How? Do you agree to this condition? ”
"Hahahaha~" Aaron smiled even more happily: "What loan country?" What loan wins? What is the Loan Shrine? Do you really think you can do it? It takes unique conditions, strong strength and good luck to ascend to the throne! You are a god son who is not even a legend, how dare you say that you can succeed? How many years do you plan to hibernate? How many lives do you want to die for this? ”
"How do you know if you can't do it without trying? Why do you say no? My father sacrificed the lives of two million people to become a god, and I am ready for this kind of awareness! And only you, the one who has no dreams, will deny this great goal from the very beginning! ”
Seeing that Aaron's expression hadn't changed, Manna Cohen knew that he didn't need to say it anymore, it didn't make sense.
At this moment, both of them were silent.
"So, we understand each other." Bane Miko finally said, "Go inside, it's almost time." ”
"yes, it's time, it's almost." Aaron nodded meaningfully.
The two walked into the restaurant together, and at this time the banquet officially opened, and Alice Sell, as the regent, finished speaking, and saw that Aaron finally came, and directly grabbed his right hand, pulled him to his side and sat down: "You sit here." ”
Opposite the princess sat the Duke of Caspar and the Son of Bane, then Monkern's lieutenant Dönitz, and the knight of the Guard, Fiorina, sat under Aaron, and the six of them sat at each end of the long table, and at the end sat the mistress of the manor, Madame Lavellet, and as for the throne, it was reserved for the vacant king's seat.
The two sides took their seats, and Duke Caspar took the initiative to smile and said, "Alice, how long has it been since we sat down to eat?" ”
"Probably, three years." The regent's daughter recalled the past, and couldn't help but sigh that her father was gone, her sister was gone, and only herself, Charlotte, and Aaron were left.
"Several, I'll mix the bartangle." Mannakorn got up and took the initiative to mix, he took the ice cubes and poured the brown wine into the glass bottle.
"Manna's bartending skills are top-notch." Duke Caspar laughed.
"Please~" Mannakhen poured the wine in the glass bottle separately and divided it into seven cups for everyone to take for themselves.
Alice Searle didn't stretch out her hand, Aaron reached out and took a cup, and he tasted it with his lips.
It's spicy!
The wine is extremely hot and spicy in the mouth, and it is very pungent, and it goes straight to the door of the head.
With such strong wine at the banquet?
Aaron wanted to see Duke Caspar so bookish, but he didn't expect to love to drink spirits.
Poison is not poisonous, and the power of Nurgle in his body does not react.
After confirming that it was non-toxic, he handed the wine glass to Alice Searle, and the princess took the wine glass and glanced at the mark left by Aaron on it, and didn't care: "Come, cheers." ”
"Cheers!"
The wine was drunk, and both the Duke of Caspar and Madame Lavelette could not help coughing, and it seemed that they could not stand it.
Cheers were over, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, today was supposed to be a celebration feast, celebrating the reconquest of Arabel City, with the orchestra, dancing girls, food and just the right topic arranged by the Duke of Caspar, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became intense, like a psychedelic dream.
Manna Cohen confirmed that Alice had drunk at least two glasses of brown spirits and nodded in satisfaction, feeling much more relaxed.
The show is about to begin!
It was only then that he noticed that his deputy, Dönitz, had not eaten much.
"What's wrong, Erich? Don't be bitter, let's have a drink. ”
The Son of Ban poured wine for his lieutenant and focused his attention on the princess.
In the midst of the melodious music, Dönitz picked up his wine glass and drank the liquid in the glass, he suddenly stretched out his hand to his waist and shouted at the son of Bane: "Master of the house! You don't support the Duke, who else is going to do it?! ”
The atmosphere at the main table was broken, shocked, puzzled, and curious, and even the band playing nearby stopped moving.
With the exception of Aaron, none of the five people at the main table, including Manna Cohen, understood what was going on with Dönitz.
"Your Highness, how can you recast the glory of Cormier with this group of worms?!" Dönitz suddenly seemed to be crazy, obviously without a weapon, he suddenly pulled out a double-barreled firearm from his waist, and pulled the trigger at Alicesell: "You evil dragon, suffer death!" ”
"Bang!" The bullet unexpectedly hit the princess's shoulder, rubbing off a piece of her skin.
The sound of gunfire passed through the entire banquet hall, and everyone froze.
"Erich, what are you doing?" Bane Miko immediately got up and tried to control his lieutenant, and he was simply stunned.
What is this man doing?
"Want to rebel?" Duke Caspar also hurriedly got up.
"Bang!" Dönitz fired another shot and hit the duke in the abdomen!
Duke Caspar had the physical fitness of a princess, and immediately a hole was opened in his stomach, and he was bleeding profusely, and he sat down in his chair.
Everything happens in the middle of light!
Scene, chaos!
