Chapter 447: Banquet
Located in the mothership of the Inquisition, the lights are brilliant.
The maid dolls are coming in and out, placing all kinds of food and drinks on the table, and the melodious music is playing, making the golden hall look very imposing.
"I really didn't expect that the first banquet was actually held for this ..............."
Looking at the people who were talking in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also helpless to complain.
"Does it matter, Mr. Knight?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, An grinned and grabbed his arm.
"It's rare for everyone to get together, wouldn't it be nice to have a banquet to entertain?"
"That's right..............."
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders, he was just not used to such occasions, but he didn't mean to object to Ann's words.
In fact, the reason why Duanmu Huai held a banquet this time was also very simple, all forces sent people to help, and Duanmu Huai, as a judge, of course, would not fail the friendship of the landlord, so he simply found a banquet hall on the mothership to hold a banquet to entertain the representatives of all forces.
"Then I'll go say hello to the others, and Mr. Knight remember to talk about it, everyone misses you a lot."
After saying this, An smiled and left with her skirt, while Duanmu Huai shook his head and sighed silently. Just then, a voice sounded from beside him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Knight, it's great to see you in such good spirits."
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned his head, only to see an elf girl in a dress looking at Duanmu Huai with a smile and saluting him, and looking at the elf girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment.
"Ah, President Hannah, it's been a long time, and it seems that you are doing well."
The elf girl in front of her is Hannah, the student president of the Manalia Magic Academy, and when she was studying at the Manalia Magic Academy, she also dealt with her a few times.
"I've graduated, and I'm now the captain of Her Royal Highness Princess's personal guard."
Hannah smiled at Duanmu Huai.
"This time, I will be responsible for leading the team to go to that world with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I will ask for more advice when the time comes."
"That's fine, but ......... You've all just graduated from Manalia, is it really okay to go straight to the actual battlefield? β
Duanmu Huai has seen too many heroes on the training ground and bears on the battlefield, although these graduates must have also undergone actual combat training, but actual combat training and actual combat are two different things after all.
"Please rest assured, this is also one of the reasons why we are here, since we are the personal guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is the test we will inevitably have to cross."
Saying this, Hannah winked at Duanmu Huai.
"It's from Her Highness Grea's side......... I still need to ask Mr. Knight to bother more. β
"Oh?"
Duanmu Huai looked in the direction suggested by Hannah, and saw that Gu Leiya was sitting in a corner of the banquet hall with a few people, looking quite ......... Lonely look.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
Duanmu Huai nodded at Hannah, and then strode over to Gracea's side.
"Gruya? What's wrong with you? β
"Huh? Mr. Knight? β
Hearing Duanmu Huai's voice, Gu Leiya suddenly jumped up as if she had been stepped on by her tail, and then she lowered her head in frustration.
"yes, I'm sorry........."
"Huh?"
"That......... I didn't find many people........."
Speaking of this, Gu Leiya also bit her lip and lowered her head. At first, she also followed Ann's proposal, thinking that she should be able to bring a lot of people. But what Gu Leia didn't expect was that many dragons were not only unwilling to accept her invitation, but even resented her. In the eyes of the dragonmen, if it weren't for Gruya's father, the king of Regnes, who had taken a human wife, would not have caused their parents to follow suit, and finally gave birth to their hybrid of human and dragons.
So Gurella's invitation didn't have much effect, and in the end she only brought three or four people......... No wonder she's so depressed.
"Well, it doesn't matter, sometimes it's not too expensive."
Looking at the dejected Gu Leiya, Duanmu Huai also patted her head, comforted her, and then looked at the few people around Gu Leiya.
"You are ..............."
What caught Duanmuhuai's attention the most was a pair of twin girls not far behind Gu Leiya, one of them had long blond hair and the other had long silver hair. They also have dragon horns and tails like Gurella, and of course, that's not the point, the point is that each of them has only one wing.
That's right, one, not a couple.
The blonde girl has only the right wing behind her, while the silver-haired girl has only the left wing behind her......... How to put it, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will definitely not feel comfortable seeing it.
Sensing Duanmu Huai's gaze, the blonde girl's expression stiffened slightly, but she still stepped forward, looked at Duanmu Huai and opened her mouth to introduce herself.
"I am the eldest daughter of the Katsuba family, Lumior, and this is my sister, Jarzhent. This time, I have come to participate in the war at the invitation of Her Royal Highness Princess Quaria, hello, Your Majesty Inquisitor. We will live up to expectations and show the glory and strength of our people. β
"Well, then please."
Hearing Lumior's words, Duanmu Huai didn't say anything, just nodded, he was sure that the two sisters also had some secrets, but since the other party didn't want to say it, he didn't want to inquire.
After a few simple words of conversation with the other party, Duanmu Huai turned to leave, but not long after he turned around, he saw a person appear in front of him. She was petite, with short green hair and a large white ribbon like a bow on her head, and looked like some aristocratic lady.
"Hello, first meeting, Lord Duanmuhuai."
The girl in front of her lifted her skirt and performed an aristocratic salute to Duanmu Huai.
"I'm the captain of the Lisas Guard, Kirti. Sharp, this time in the name of Lord Leah, he led the personal guards to help. β
"Are you the captain of the Guard?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised, although he knew that Liya did have a personal guard team all wearing golden armor, elegant and beautiful, and completely composed of young girls, but such a young girl was also among them?
"Of course, although I am not as good as Captain Layla, I have been working hard to improve, and it is for this reason that I took the initiative to ask Lord Leah to come to participate in this mission. Please feel free to watch my performance, you will not be disappointed. β
As she spoke, Kirti quietly looked at Duanmu Huai.
This is Lord Leah's sweetheart? It is indeed very outstanding to say......... But what is he capable of?
Thinking of this, Kirti also snickered inwardly.
If she can climb this one, she can naturally gain a higher status and strength, and in this way, she will be one step closer to her goal, and it is for this reason that she took the initiative to apply to Queen Leah to be the captain and lead the team.
As for the strength of this man, let me see it clearly from a close distance!
Of course, Duanmu Huai didn't know what thoughts were spinning in Qierdi's little head, he just had a few simple words with the other party, and then Qierti said goodbye and left, because at this time, someone appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.
"Long time no see, Inquisitor."
"Uruzah............... You've changed a lot. β
Looking at Uruze in front of him, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh, he still remembered that when he saw Uruze in the camp of the rebels, the other party was just a patient who could only sit in a wheelchair and looked like a quiet sick girl. But now she is wearing a military uniform, heroic and sassy, and she looks like a real soldier.
"I didn't expect King Gandhi to send you."
"I didn't expect it either, but King Gandhi said that I was ......... in this regard Experienced. β
Speaking of this, Uruzer smiled bitterly, and of course Duanmu Huai knew what Uruzer meantβββ when she was in Seth, she was the leader of the organization that resisted Seth, Ice Flame, and now Duanmu Huai is going to Herman to do something, and Uruzai is basically "returning to the old business".
"Anyway, I still want to thank you, Inquisitor. If it weren't for you, Seth wouldn't be what it is now, and although the gap between magicians and ordinary people still exists, the situation is getting better a little bit. β
"That's fine, you can handle these things yourself."
Duanmu Huai didn't care, after all, this was their own choice, and what kind of consequences it would cause could only depend on their own creation.
"Ah, here you are, Inquisitor."
However, just as Duanmu Huai had just finished greeting Uruze, he saw another woman come to him, she had long aqua blue hair, a beret, a white outfit, and an abacus in her hand.
"Thank you for taking care of my business this time, I thank you here."
"Uh......... Who are you? β
Looking at the woman in front of him, Duanmu Huai quickly went through his memory, and he could be sure that he definitely didn't know her, and at this time, Shizuka walked over and said to Duanmu Huai with a speechless face.
"This is Kopandon from the Free Cities League. Miss Dort......... She is responsible for the logistics of the entire team. β
"Oh, I see..............."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded, he had heard that Zhijin Xiang said that the Free City Alliance would send a team to be responsible for the supply of materials, and it seemed that this person in front of him was the leader.
So Duanmu Huai also stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Miss Copandon."
"You're welcome, Inquisitor, in fact, it's up to you whether or not I can make money this time."
"Make money??"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Of course we will pay."
"It's not just about supplies."
Copandon shook his head with a grin as he picked up the abacus.
"Actually, right now I'm seizing the opportunity to short the Herman Kingdom, and if your rebellion goes well, then Herman's financial markets will be in shambles, and I'll be able to make a lot of money by then......... So, this time I came here not just for business, but also for cooperation...... You're my partner! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Good guy, your abacus is really crackling.
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"Of course you're not afraid, after all, you're the one who wiped out the former demon king and a group of demons, and I believe it's worth it to put a lot of money on you this time! This is one of the reasons why we at Dort Chamber of Commerce are willing to cooperate with you! β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
How to put it, this is really the nature of capitalists.
"That......... Let's hope you get what you want. β
Duanmu Huai silently held Kepandong's hand and spoke.
Perhaps, the Inquisition also needs such a figure?
