Chapter 64 It Turns Out to Be Love (1)
The venue of the banquet was arranged at the headquarters of the military department, and it was said to be a banquet, but in fact there was no luxurious atmosphere, and some were just solemn and tough. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Caesar came relatively early, and when he entered the venue, the banquet had not yet begun, and there were fewer people.
At this time, he stood in front of a set of simple armor in a very conspicuous position in the venue, and stood silent, looking at this set of armor carefully, as if telling the armor of iron and blood.
This is the close-fitting armor used by the marshal a hundred years ago, and it is said that during the First Civil War, the marshal almost never took it off.
After the establishment of the Empire, the Marshal and the Lady None barely showed up, and remained in retreat in the third floor of the True Hall in the center of the Dream City, where this suit of armor has always stand.
Looking at this set of armor, Caesar thought of the fire dragon he had encountered at the bottom of the magma in the experimental department of Aoki City.
The power of the dragon that he is now is strong and powerful is the original fire dragon that strengthened and transformed himself with his soul essence.
After a long time, Caesar rarely remembered the dragon, but he still remembered the one thing he asked him to do for her in return for the dragon's power.
She asked Caesar to have a chance to say to the marshal's side, the fire dragon had always liked him.
"Love......" Caesar sighed softly, and for some reason, he had a lot of emotion today.
Caesar didn't know what had happened between the fire dragon and the Lady Wu, or maybe nothing had happened, but love happened so naturally and inexplicably.
A lot of times we can't tell why we like someone, right?" thought Caesar to himself.
"Caesar. A man patted Caesar on the shoulder.
Caesar was a little distracted before, so much so that he didn't realize that there were people around him, but this also shows that the people who came were not ordinary people. The strength will definitely not be weak.
Caesar instinctively stepped back half a step to the side. Gaze intently. Then there was a pause, and after a while, the solemnity and vigilance between the eyebrows all dissipated, replaced by accidents and surprises.
There was not only one person standing in front of him, but three girls with different temperaments but all very beautiful.
The person who patted Caesar on the shoulder was Long Qiqi.
But what Caesar really didn't expect was the two people around Long Qiqi: Wen Jing from Earth Street, and ...... Nono!
"Why are you two here?" asked Caesar.
"Oh, I'm here as a representative of Earth Street. Wen Jing looked more mature and decent than before, and said with a smile. "Nono is a representative sent by the Forest Clan. ”
Speaking of this, Wen Jing stared at Caesar up and down for a while, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the guy who was bullied in Aoki Academy because of his slow speed is now the person I have to look up to." ”
"Hey, I haven't seen you for so long, do you want to be so polite when you come up?" Caesar laughed.
"There's no way around it. Nuo Nuo said, "We have all heard about your affairs in the imperial capital, it is really ...... unimaginable. ”
Speaking of this, Norno paused, looking at Caesar's face and expression. added: "But seeing your own state, I'm relieved." ”
A simple word. But it made Caesar feel very warm.
Although Nono didn't say much, Caesar knew what happened to him in the imperial capital, which must have made this friend very worried. In fact, if it weren't for the delicate and complicated relationship between Nuo Nuo and her sister, she might have come to the imperial capital to see if she could help.
"Why did your sister let you out?" Caesar thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask Nono quietly.
Nuo Nuo pointed to Long Qiqi, who felt left out because Caesar was only talking to Nuo Nuo and Wen Jing, and said with a smile: "Because of her." ”
Caesar couldn't help but be at a loss: "What do you mean?"
Nuno pretended to be mysterious and said, "You'll know later." ”
Caesar wondered in his heart, Nono and Long Qiqi should not have known each other before, and now they don't seem to be very familiar, but the two girls soon walked to the side together and talked to each other about something.
The official start of the banquet is approaching.
Wen Jing pulled Caesar aside at this time, and the always generous girl blushed a little, obviously a little squirming but pretended to be calm and asked, "I want to ask you something......
"Oh, you say. ”
"Philo...... Or should I say, Hughes, how is it now?" Wen Jing asked quickly, and then looked at Caesar a little nervously.
When Caesar heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Earth Street was really powerful, and the fact that Philo was Hughes finally let Wen Jing know. Of course, this also has something to do with the suspension of Hughes's identity protection program, otherwise it would not have been exposed anyway.
Wen Jing saw that Caesar didn't answer, and thought that Caesar was laughing at her in his heart, so she couldn't help but be a little frustrated: "Don't look at me like that, I admit it, I really want to like him." Hell, I didn't think I'd like that perverted blood ghost Hughes, okay? I've known him since I was a kid, or do I actually like Philo's identity?"
The girl was a little incoherent, which was a far cry from her usual state.
It turns out that when it comes to love, people don't seem to be the same as they usually are. The fire dragon was like this, and so was Wen Jing in front of him.
Caesar couldn't help but smile, thought for a while, and then replied very seriously: "Hughes is still under investigation because of some things, and his freedom of movement has been restricted to a certain extent. ”
Seeing that Wen Jing's face immediately became anxious, Caesar hurriedly added: "But you don't have to worry, it's not serious, and it's not imprisoned." He's actually living a pretty comfortable life now. As for what he was investigated for, I'm sorry, I can't really say. ”
Hughes is still in the courtyard of the imperial capital with the old woman as his companion.
The old woman is actually a great predecessor of the military department, although because of old age and injury, her strength is no longer great, but she used to be almost equal to the three major generals, although she has not really been able to break into the legendary realm in her life, but in terms of qualifications, she is still above the three generals.
And the reason why Hughes has not regained his full freedom so far should be related to some mysteries about him.
For example, on that night in the winter, he was inexplicably attacked and seriously injured.
and Alcanari was dying of his immediate injuries after being attacked by the dragon of unknown origin.
"That's ......" Wen Jing looked very regretful. But she deserves to be Xu Wenjing. I quickly adjusted my mood. Nodding his head, he said, "Thank you, when you have time to see him, say hello to me." ”
Caesar asked, "If you want to confess, I can convey it to you." ”
Wen Jing's face darkened, and she said angrily: "I will confess myself, you ...... Don't talk nonsense!"
"Haha, just kidding. Don't get excited, don't get excited......"
The number of people who came to the banquet gradually increased, and the bigwigs of the military department entered one after another, and Caesar and other junior figures no longer talked and laughed casually, and followed the etiquette to greet the seniors who entered.
In the end, everyone arrived, eighty percent were from the military department, one percent were representatives of the Earth Street and the Forest Clan and their entourage, and one percent were representatives of the imperial capital family.
There is no one from the Twelve Round Table family.
There is no Shiloh.
In fact, after the Twelve Round Table family was dismantled, not all of them fell apart. The Twelve Round Table itself is a group of twelve different families that have come to an agreement with each other. to build a consortium. There is no blood relationship between families, only alliances by agreement. Now the family alliance is no more. The various families still existed, and General Lan did not do things so desperately that even the twelve families themselves could not be accommodated.
In the crowd, there was a fair-skinned and handsome young man, who looked a little restrained.
It was the student in the dragon awakening class who mixed well with James and Elis.
After the dissolution of the Twelve Round Table, his family expressed his intention to surrender to the military department without hesitation, and even did not hesitate to turn more than 60% of the family's interests and industries into joint management with the military department, so that the members of the family were qualified to participate in this important banquet of the military department.
The white-faced boy was excited, nervous and excited, until he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
He was visibly stunned, then couldn't help but rub his eyes, looked at it again, and then froze completely.
Caesar not far away stood there quietly, with Long Qiqi, Nuo Nuo, and Wen Jing standing beside them, although they didn't talk much to each other, but when they occasionally whispered, they obviously looked familiar.
"This ...... This ...... How...... What's going on?" The feeling in the white-faced boy's heart is simply indescribable.
After James and Elise suffered losses a few days ago, the white-faced young man was still a little unimpressed, thinking that he must find an opportunity to probe the bottom of Caesar and see what kind of great person he is.
Now that he has found it, the white-faced boy feels a little unbearable.
"Don't star. The elder of the family reminded in a low voice, "That's the person who defeated your teacher Levi, don't keep staring at people so unreasonably!"
The white-faced young man felt that his feet were weak, and he let out a sigh and lowered his head deeply.
It didn't take long for the banquet to officially begin with the entry of the three generals.
Among the three generals, except for the female general, who dressed more casually, the other two were quite formal. Especially General Lan, it can be described as a full costume.
This is a bit different from Caesar's impression of the man who only wears simple trousers and tactical vests every day in the Alcana war zone.
"Is there anything good that has happened to you in such a good mood?" Caesar thought to himself.
Immediately shook his head again, he didn't see any forgetfulness or gaffe of General Lan that day after dismantling the Twelve Round Table Alliance, what kind of good thing could make General Lan can't help but wear such a glamorous outfit?
“...... Well, there is a very important matter, and I think it would be better for General Long to announce it on my behalf. After a brief opening remark, General Lan said with a smile.
General Long nodded, stepped forward, and then beckoned in Caesar's direction, saying, "Come over to both of you." ”
Caesar was stunned for a moment, and then saw Nono and Kiki next to him walking out together, one left and one right, standing beside General Long, facing everyone present.
"His Royal Highness Nono of the Forest Clan will sign a soul contract with my granddaughter Long Qiqi. General Long smiled slightly, and calmly announced this news that could no longer be described as significant.
Caesar's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look at the poor who had been standing obediently beside him.
The so-called signing of the soul contract means that Nuno will become Kiki's soul mercenary, just like the relationship between pity and himself.
Although the soul contract is absolutely fair, and there is no superiority between the two parties, for many years, people have subconsciously thought that the side that is the soul mercenary is slightly inferior.
In terms of talent, Long Qiqi is definitely not worse than Nuonuo. But in terms of identity, it's actually a little worse than Nono. Such an arrangement, those forest people who regard Nono as an undesecrated existence heard about it, and they all have to be blown up?!
What the hell is going on?
Caesar's eyes became serious, staring at General Long, knowing that the general would definitely give at least a rough explanation as to why the military headquarters and the forest clan would suddenly have such an arrangement. (To be continued.) )
