Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Battle at the Banquet
Until the end of the banquet, there was no more conflict in the hall, and the two parties were all right, but Kane suddenly became a bright figure in the hall again. The characters who have the upper hand in the first encounter with the Blessed Swordkeeper are worth noting, especially Duch, who is curious about Kane. Kane does not have the aura of a transcendent, and in everyone's opinion, he is an ordinary person, but he is not inferior to the blessed one in terms of physical body or reaction speed.
The blessed person with the blessing of divine power can be said to be almost invincible in the secular world, and so far only Kane can fight the blessed one with a mortal body. But Duch didn't exactly think that Kane was a simple mortal, and there must be something special about him that he didn't know.
He thought to himself that he must uncover the secret of Kane's body, if he could know the secret of why Kane was so strong, then he could go one step further into the outside world. He will be ahead of all the blessed ones, and while everyone is still praying for more divine blessings from the gods, he has already taken the first step and soared to the other world under the gaze of everyone.
Of course, these were only his fantasies for the time being, as he was not yet sure if Kane had what he needed. As he was immersed in this thought, Talos woke him up with a slap in the face.
"Why did you hold me just now?" He was still haunted by Duhe's decision to stop him from ordering Neη¦s to be killed, and this was a perfect opportunity for him. Neroth made the first move, and it was reasonable to fight back at this time, even if Nelus was killed on the spot, he could only be blamed for acting impulsively and not considering the occasion.
He was just overly defensive, and Danton knew that he couldn't do anything with him, this was Carrot City, and his status was noble. How to say that he is also the current president of the Magic Association, one of the elders of the Holy Sword Sect, with these two identities, even if his strength is not strong, but His Majesty the Emperor has to take care of his identity, so, what is Dandong's anger, is it possible that he dares to kill him in this palace?
If you really want to do this, I'm afraid you have to carefully weigh the honorary knights around him who protect him, their strength is not low, each of them has a seventh-level strength. Among the many seventh-level knights of the dynasty, it belongs to the middle level.
With these seventh-level knights alone, he was not afraid at all. It was for this reason that he could not figure out why the blessed man of Duch was afraid of a gray-haired person. An old man who is over half a hundred years old, just because he is the head of the Iron King Castle?
"Do you think I'm holding you back? I was saving your life by doing that. You don't know the old man's other identity, and if I tell you, you'll probably be grateful to me by now. Duch said to him.
"Is it really that powerful? What kind of identity makes you so cautious... Or even a little scared? He thought of a better word, and thought fear was a more appropriate word.
"Remember the top 10 blessers of the previous generation of the Holy Spirit Church? He was one of them, fifth, and one of only three people alive today. His strength is unfathomable, and it is rumored that when he left the Holy Spirit Church, his strength was already an eighth-level martial artist. Now that so many years have passed, the strength is definitely more than that, and it is likely that it has broken through to a higher realm again. Calling such a powerful warrior, what do you think are the chances of you surviving? β
Duch asked him unceremoniously, not respecting him because he was an elder, and in the eyes of these blessed people, the heads of the Holy See and the cardinals were nothing, and the elders did not need to be taken seriously. He didn't have any good intentions to save Talos, but he didn't want him to die in the palace like this, because he represented the face of the Holy See, and he didn't want to lose face with Talos, let alone anger a powerful warrior at the same time.
"He... Is it really that warrior? How come I haven't heard his name, Vurodri. He read the name over and over again, "not in the slightest." β
"Anyway, remember my words, don't be too complacent in the future, and don't take the initiative to provoke them. I've been with you once, so let's do it for yourself. Then Duch stopped talking, he closed his eyes and recalled the fight with Kane, and he replayed it in his mind over and over again, hoping to find a clue about Kane's shot.
In the palace, Danton and William's family dined together with many members of their royal family, in fact, some close relatives, the royal blood in the body is estimated to have been diluted in the combination of generations, and there is not much real royal blood left. But because they used to have royal blood in their bodies, they were still arranged to sit and dine together.
Dandong drank wine with everyone, the cold red wine dispelled the stuffy atmosphere, and the whole palace carried a fresh fragrance, which was the sweet aroma of fruits, and it smelled refreshing. A smile tugged at the corner of Danton's mouth, but his smile seemed a little strange at this moment, and at this time, everyone's faces were more or less sad, and they were very careful to hide this look.
Ignoring their false smiles, Danton happily poured his glass full of red wine, a cousin sitting next to him who still had a large glass of wine left in his glass, as if it hadn't moved since the moment it had fallen. The fat cousin's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the temperature in the palace was obviously very cool, but he still kept wiping the sweat from his face with a handkerchief.
In a delicate atmosphere, Dandong drank the red wine in his glass, and he turned to the noble cousin next to him and asked, "Cousin Shak, why do you have so much wine left in this glass?" Is it because it's too hot to drink? You should have a good drink in this rare party, and it doesn't let you go to war, so why be so restrained. β
Danton continued to fill the glass with wine, "Ha, I almost forgot, Cousin Shaq's fruit territory should be rich in many delicious and juicy fruits, and the wine made from that fruit will taste better. Cousin Shaq can't have drunk too much good wine and can't look down on these fine wines, right? Hahaha. Danton smiled and said a few more words.
Cousin Shaq was so frightened by Danton's words that he waved his hand again and again, looking extremely embarrassed, and at the moment he was sitting on pins and needles, just wanting to escape from this position quickly. But Danton didn't want to let him go, and everyone sitting next to him only cared about eating by themselves, and no one was willing to speak for the poor Marquis Shak, and let him be teased by Danton's words.
"If I'm not mistaken, Cousin Shaq's territory doesn't seem to be peaceful during this time, and I've heard that you've often had a headache when robbers and local peasants colluded to rebel. The fruit area really has a hand in suppressing these petty fights, and the soldiers are strong and strong, and they can be obedient casually. It's so powerful internally, so it must not be weak in terms of external conquest, right? Dandong asked deliberately.
Shaq couldn't figure out what Dandong meant, but he still replied modestly: "Haha, it's just a rumor, it's not as serious as the rumors, and suppressing them is just a trivial matter." He was still wiping his sweat as he spoke, as if he were alone in the fire.
"Marquis Shaq has so many fine knights, why is he so frightened by a group of thieves that he will cut off his land and apologize? Yes? Is it because the 63-strong bands of exiled thieves are too strong? If you can't even defend your own territory, then it's better to just give him up, so as not to worry about being killed one day, don't you think? Danton looked at the people seated.
The halls of the palace are steaming with the aroma of barbecued meat, and freshly baked bread has an enticing colour. The walls of the hall are adorned with the symbols of the families, the flag of the Marquis of Shak, which is a red running bull, a symbol of strength and unyielding tenacity. This flag was given by the previous kings to the Shaq family to praise their qualities.
But now the more Dandong looks at it, the more he feels that this flag is an eyesore. Seeing that the crowd was still silent, he finally got up and walked under the flag, and he reached out and tore it off.
"What is that!" Finally, one of the ladies could not take it anymore, and she stood up screaming. shouted and scolded: "Dandong! You are disrespectful to the Shaq family! It's disrespectful to the king! β
After shouting, she ignored the expressions of Dandong and the nobles at the same table, faced the banquet table that was one order higher, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I think Prince Dandong's behavior today has passed!" It's really not etiquette, I hope you can put an end to his nonsense at the feast! β
"Hahaha! Irreverence? Am I messing around? He first laughed, and then said sharply: "Shaq is knighted and eaten!" Internally, the people were brutally suppressed, and externally, the land was sacrificed to accompany the money! What qualifications does such a waste marquis have to keep this banner full of honor! He doesn't deserve it! Danton pointed to their noses and scolded.
At this moment, he still broke out, William's face was extremely ugly, and the entire banquet looked at Danton with panicked eyes. The queen didn't want to embarrass William, she just wanted to open her mouth to ease the atmosphere, but unexpectedly William took her hand, and he motioned to the queen with his eyes not to move, and the matter was settled by him.
"Shut up! I'm the master of Harrens! The banquet was noisy and attacked each other. Have you forgotten even the basic etiquette? William's voice was rarely majestic. His attitude towards Dandong has always been extremely kind and tolerant before, no matter how wordless he is, he will not be angry with Dandong, but this time is different, he is really angry.
"Etiquette? Hahaha. Danton mocked, he said: "When Harlens loses the right to control the ice and the sea, and the moment he humiliates the contract with Frost and Snow has lost his dignity, what etiquette is there to talk about?" Winter is just a rag for you to cover up! To cover up their corruption, cowardice! He kept counting the troubles that had happened to Harrlens over the years.
For every one he counted, he had to scold the relatives who had made mistakes in the audience. Although everyone knew that Dandong was not good at coming this time, they didn't expect him to be angry at the banquet regardless of everyone's faces, revealing everyone's scars.
The nobles who had done these things bowed their heads in shame, but there were also those who refused to admit their faults in these areas, such as the lady who had just stood up to refute Danton. For a moment, the hall was wrapped in swearing.
Their voices gave William a headache, and he was so angry that he slapped the table in front of him, scattering wine, barbecue, snacks, and fruit all over the ground. The slapping of the table drowned out the scolding, and everyone shut their mouths in amusement, and they turned their eyes to William.
He looked around at everyone with a flushed face, and finally fixed his gaze on Danton. In the face of William's angry gaze, Danton did not have the slightest fear, but looked at him calmly. As if he was not the one who had caused the war and shouted the loudest. The contrast is astonishing.
