Originally, I didn't think that the masquerade banquet was a big deal, but people felt that life passed very slowly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But after being told the true meaning of the banquet by Hughes, Caesar inevitably fell into anxiety, a kind of complicated emotion of being afraid of the last moment before the exam, but at the same time hoping that the tormented days would pass quickly.

After all, Caesar was a young man who was immature in many ways.

It's not that he hasn't experienced big battles, but the big battles that Caesar is used to facing are battles in the dragon road, survival on the island of food, and fierce battles in the tsunami.

For such a thing as banquets, Caesar's only experience was the few banquets he participated in in the imperial capital after he came out of the dragon road. And those banquets were not so much banquets as judgments against Caesar. The result of the trial was that Caesar, who could have directly entered the preparatory department of the three major courts, went back to Aoki Castle alone!

But the reality is that whether you like it or not, whether you want it or not, what should come will come eventually.

The day of the masquerade banquet came as scheduled.

"What? Is Earth Street semi-closed today? I had an appointment to come and buy clothes in the evening. Outside Earth Street, a fashionably dressed young girl complained.

"Okay, okay, today is the day of the masquerade banquet, don't you see so many patrols, will you die if you don't shop for a day?" said the companion next to him.

The fashionable woman was still not satisfied, and muttered: "A few years ago, it wasn't that there was no masquerade banquet, which time did you make you so nervous? I even participated in it once!"

"You've participated?" said his companion with a look of disbelief.

"Yes, I got in and was caught in the end, but I was sent out of the venue after being taught a lesson, nothing. The woman said, looked at the heavily fortified fortifications near Earth Street, and pouted, "What like this time......! What a fuss!!"

The companion smiled, pulled the friend who was itchy and angry because the shopping plan was disrupted, and quickly left.

I really have some doubts in my heart: Looking at this battle, is this year's masquerade banquet unusual?

What most Phoenix residents don't know is that all day today, Phoenix is forbidden to the sky, and all air transport equipment or flying monsters are not allowed to take off.

The only means of transportation allowed today is the horse-drawn carriage from the age of classical magic.

With a grunt, a light gray plain carriage stopped at the entrance of Earth Street, and Shiloh, dressed in a banquet suit, slowly got out of the car, took a breath, and looked solemn.

The carriage has changed, and it is no longer the original aristocratic carriage that shows luxury in a low-key manner.

Nowadays, the light gray tones of the carriages are actually exquisite—the shade that all veteran blacksmiths choose, and which has become a tradition over time.

The horse pulling the cart was a tall red horse like blood.

The red of fire, and the gray of metal, which are the most common colors in the blacksmith's world.

Therefore, in the eyes of those who really understand, the carriage that Shiloh is riding in now represents the uniqueness of his identity and the dignity of his status more than before.

"Master Shiloh. A staff member of Earth Street immediately greeted him and said, "The carriage will be handed over to us, please walk over here and enter the venue." ”

Shiloh nodded to Hu Cong, handed the carriage to the administrators of Earth Street, and he walked all the way into the hall under the guidance of two young, beautiful, and well-behaved welcome ladies.

Today's Shiloh did not bring the few servants he brought on weekdays, but replaced them with two middle-aged servants with ordinary appearances.

The two Hu followed, one from the left and one from the right, behind Shiloh, obviously under the sun, but their sense of presence was extremely weak, just like the two shadows behind Shiloh.

Their gaze was quiet and hidden, carefully scrutinizing every detail.

They are not ordinary servants, but the secret and powerful guards of the Twelve Round Table Clan!

"Excuse me, has my second uncle arrived?" Shiloh asked politely as he walked across the red carpet.

The older of the two hostesses turned around and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Boryn Augustus arrived just five minutes ago. ”

"Hmm. Shiloh smiled, "Thank you." ”

Bolin Augustus, Imperial Colonel, one of the most powerful figures in the Twelve Round Table family, and Hilo's second uncle, is the family representative sent by the Twelve Round Tables this time.

Now Shiloh's identity is different, and after the entire selection of the masked blacksmith, he has officially become a recognized god craftsman and can take charge of his own affairs.

But this is a world that will seek collective strength after all, and the arrival of key family figures still makes Shiloh feel more at ease and more determined.

To be honest, from the first round of auditions to the present days, Shiloh has not had a completely smooth life.

During this period, he went to look for Long Qiqi once, but he had the most embarrassing closed-door soup in his life, and Long Qiqi's emotional state seemed to be very unstable, which made Shiloh feel uncomfortable.

That damn guy named Kaka is still at the academy, and Shiloh has so much to deal with on his hands that he can only secretly ignore it for the time being.

In addition to these two things, what made Shiloh feel uncomfortable and even uneasy the most was the second unknown divine craftsman besides himself.

Yes, unknown.

During this time, all parties tried to figure out the true identity of the craftsman, or at least some information, but there was no significant progress from the military department, the Twelve Round Tables, Earth Street, or the Forest Clan.

To Shiloh, this is almost incredible!

Unknown opponents are always scary, and Shiloh has absolute confidence in his iron-striking skills, and he has also managed to see the work of that unknown opponent with his own eyes, and is confident that his skills are better than those of the other party. But I still feel uneasy. Because of the other party's age, origin, identity, position, and whether they have more advanced technical ...... These are unknowns.

Shiloh hates this uncontrolled factor!

"But anyway, it's going to be revealed today. Shiloh stepped into the open and gorgeous banquet scene, felt the eyes that instantly focused on him, and thought silently in his heart, "The day I ascended to the top of the Imperial Pyramid is today. Whoever blocks it, who dies. ”

The security measures at this masquerade banquet were really hard work.

Not only because of the importance of this banquet, but also because the two precedents of the Aoki Hunting Season and the Unified Examination were ahead, so the Imperial side had to consider the potential risk of the battle mage waiting for the opportunity to invade.

Out of respect for Earth Street, this banquet for the entire Empire is still hosted by Earth Street, but the Imperial Military Department inevitably intervenes in a large number of forces.

Cassadine was standing at a long table at the banquet site at this time, leisurely eating lobster and drinking wine, his eyes swept over the venue, and the corners of his lips slightly raised a smile that I didn't know whether it was mockery or what: "What are you doing? With so many familiar faces, my sense of existence as a representative of the military department is a little weak." The three major generals, after all, still sent their own subordinates. Alas, why didn't General Lan send Phoenix?"

When Shiloh came in, Cassadine saw it at first sight, but he just pouted, and then continued to eat his lobster feast, ignoring it at all.

A dress set off the petite but beautiful little body, and the green eyes that were quite touching reminded him in a whisper: "Young master, as a representative of the military department, you can't ignore it like this. ”

"What's that?" Cassadine said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the three generals sent someone from each of them went to say hello, isn't it? I hate that guy named Shiloh." Hell, I hate that kind of person who is too good at pretending!"

The green eyes were helpless and no longer persuaded.

At this time, Cassadine suddenly noticed a figure, his eyes moved slightly, put down the lobster and said to the green eyes, "Is there a tissue?"
