The banquet had only just entered the middle of the banquet at this moment, and the enthusiasm of the people was getting higher and higher under the influence of alcohol, and even the old alchemists who were still reserved joined the dancing crowd under the stimulation of alcohol.

At Tony's suggestion, the androids changed the music to a pas de deux.

The banquet was held by Tony to welcome his wife and daughter, so naturally he wanted to dance a pas de deux to enhance his relationship with Pepper, and the rest of the people around him quickly found their dance partner.

Eugenia pulls Alicia, while Isabel is invited by Martin to be a dance partner.

This dance is not too different from the upbeat Scottish dance music just now, and it is also a light rhythm, so it is a little more difficult than ballroom dancing.

The magicians in the wizarding world are also human beings in nature, as long as they are human, there will be socialization, so there will naturally be banquets, and these people present are all high-level people in the wizarding world, and they are naturally indispensable for all kinds of banquets, so their dancing skills are not bad.

Arthur had been holding a wine glass, standing in a corner like Char, smiling at the people at the banquet, and at Char, who was eating a buffet with a plate.

Char seemed to notice his gaze as well, and raised the wine glass in his hand to salute in return.

At this moment, Arthur is completely different from the young man who longed to participate in the Dionysian sacrifice in the past, he likes to be quiet and does not like to be lively, he is calm and wise, and he sees the world very clearly, but he is more and more similar to Char.

This may also be because Char is the existence that has had the greatest influence on his life.

Arthur turned his head and saw Joan of Arc standing at the foot of the tree with a plate, but she was a little helpless compared to his and Char's leisurely contentment.

In fact, during this period of time, Arthur discovered that this is a very introverted girl.

Although she once led the army of one country against the aggression of another, in a sense, it was fate that pushed her forward.

As her fate comes to an end, she also returns to a part of her essence: an ordinary girl in a remote countryside.

She likes herding, likes to be with animals, and is very good at communicating with animals, but she is not very good at this kind of lively banquet, she wants to join, but she doesn't know how to join, so she will be at a loss.

Not to mention that she was dancing a pas de deux now, and she didn't know anyone except Char and Arthur.

It was naturally impossible to invite Char, his identity was too special, and she didn't have the guts.

Arthur silently placed the wine glass in his hand on the long table in the middle, walked slowly to Joan of Arc, and stood in front of her.

Under Joan of Arc's stunned expression, he smiled, put his left hand behind his back, turned his right hand in a circle, and at the same time stepped on the ground with the tip of his right foot towards his left foot, and bowed gracefully.

"Can I have the pleasure of dancing with you?"

Arthur's actions obviously frightened Joan of Arc, she had never been to a banquet, and naturally she didn't know how to respond, was it to speak? Or nod? Or just stick your hand out? She didn't know.

Not to mention that Arthur, who was born in the royal family, made her feel even more cramped by such a gentlemanly and standard invitation, afraid that her inappropriate response would make a joke.

"Me, me." Joan of Arc's face flushed, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Arthur didn't care, he smiled, "Am I too old to dislike me?" ”

Joan of Arc was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I'm just. Some don't know what to do. ”

"Just stretch your hand out." Arthur laughed.

Joan of Arc nodded, but then, the change in Mr. "Maiser" in front of him made Joan of Arc's eyes tremble slightly, which had gradually calmed down

Under Joan of Arc's gaze, his pale hair became more shiny and returned to its original color, the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, and he was much taller—he was gradually becoming younger.

Soon, a young man with short flaming red hair and gentle green eyes as clear as the sky stood in front of her.

He still had a smile on his face, and in the sunlight that shone through the gaps in the leaves, his smile was so gentle and sincere, just like the sun swaying down.

Joan of Arc's eyes gradually took on a look of distraction.

However, Arthur repeated what he had just done again and held out his hand to her.

"Beautiful young lady, may I have the pleasure of dancing with you?"

"You"

"Everybody has a young age, doesn't it?" Arthur laughed.

Joan of Arc nodded, and continued, "I'm not quite at it. ”

"Don't worry, I'll teach you." Arthur whispered.

Hearing this, Joan of Arc also plucked up the courage to stretch out her hand.

Arthur led her to the meadow.

"Put your arms around my waist, and then follow my footsteps, and you will move forward if I retreat, and you will retreat when I advance."

Joan of Arc nodded, and then she put her arms around Arthur's waist and followed Arthur's steps, and although she stepped on Arthur's foot a few times, Arthur patiently taught her.

She has a good athletic talent and a strong ability to control her body, so she can learn this dance with repetitive movements at all, and it doesn't take long for her to dance decently.

Dancing is a kind of human instinct, and dance movements originate from life. Whether you jump or not, when your feelings reach a certain level, you will move.

When the music starts, even those who can't dance will clap to the music, which is a language that expresses emotions with the body!

When music and body come together, it's quite a pleasure.

As Joan of Arc danced to the music along with Arthur, she began to feel the joy of it, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Life is not short, and it is not long, but if you are not brave enough, no matter how long your life is, it will only be a repetition of missed and regrets." Arthur said softly, "You are no longer burdened with the fate of a country, so relax and enjoy the rest of your life." ”

Joan of Arc's mind echoed these words, and her heart rippled, and she nodded with some emotion.

"Thank you, Mr. Mercer."

Arthur smiled and didn't say anything more.

"Writing drinks the wine and reads it as a toast!!"

On this grass, I don't know who shouted, and the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers one after another in response.

They excitedly raised their glasses, and the music became more rhythmic and cheerful, and even the dancing was not in order.

Alicia and Isabel were also in the mix, their faces were reddish and drunk, although the magic could speed up their metabolism of alcohol, but they didn't, and they enjoyed it.

Through the noisy crowd, Alicia saw Char standing aside with the Holy Grail and drinking wine.

She walked through the crowd to Char, lifted her toes and kissed him on the cheek, and looked at him with smoky eyes.

"Why don't you come along?"

Without waiting for Char to answer, Alicia directly pulled Char into the crowd, and Char also let her pull herself.

Alicia grabbed Char's hand and asked him to wrap her arms around her waist and dance a cheerful pas de deux, and Char smiled to accompany him.

Soon, the style of the music began to change, gradually speeding up, something like a Spanish bullfight, Char grabbed Alicia's hand and spun it around, and she broke away from Char.

Then, Alicia first assumed the standard of a flamenco appearance, shrugging her shoulders and looking up, her eyes glazed down, searching around as if she were going to pick up something.

Immediately after, it began to rotate slowly, like a peacock with the screen open.

Her black dress is very similar to Char's when she first saw her, although she is not a professional flamenco dancer, but the large swing skirt she wears is also very beautiful, and countless folds are mobilized by her dance steps.

She was twisting her slender waist, which Char had indulged in countless times, unable to extricate herself, and when writhing, it was more like a scythe that hooked the soul.

She danced wildly, with no one in her eyes, wantonly swaying complex emotions, as if her life had condensed and unfolded. She doesn't seem to need a dance partner at all, and she dances to her heart's content.

Occasionally, she would make her rounds in a sad and anxious manner, as if expressing hidden love and hatred. She danced in the mountains, her strong soles swirling on the ground with all her might, rushing and pounding on the ground like raindrops, as if she wanted to put a stamp on the land.

The dust and smoke rolled up one by one, as if there was an invisible rope binding her, and she broke free on her own without the help of external force......

Her gaze was unfocused, neither the sky nor the earth, and certainly not at the hurried passers-by around her.

Her eyes were ethereal, like smoke and clouds, as if she was only looking at the soul in the heavens, and as if she had seen through her past and present lives, and she was helpless and gave up on herself.

The corners of her mouth were pursed, her lips were lined with fine vertical lines, and her nostrils were wide open and twitched from time to time, as if she were sniffing the scent of impending danger. All of this turned into a lonely sneer with a slight cynicism under her delicate face.

Flamenco, the dancer's performance full of passion and strength is very contagiousAs one of the quintessence of Spain, flamenco is a combination of passion and determination, it shows anger, sadness, but by no means self-pity.

Singing, clapping, shouting, dancing and tapping, clapping, all mingle with each other, but Char's world is getting quieter and quieter.

He felt that the picture around him seemed to gradually blur, and the sound gradually weakened, and only one person was clear in front of him.

Alicia has a strong talent for dancing, and it seems that her talent was limited by blindness in the past, but after the two regained their eyesight, because Char liked to watch her dance, she deliberately went to learn it, and then only danced for him.

However, it was the first time for Char to see her so radiant, like a flamingo with its head raised high, free, flamboyant, enthusiastic like fire, and indomitable.

He felt that Alicia was so charming at the moment.

The people around him also seemed to stop their movements because of Alicia's dance.

Until the music stopped, Alicia stopped dancing, and in the brief silence, the audience burst into fierce applause and countless cheers.

"Oohohohohoh!!"

The banquet lasted until the second half of the night, and some of them were so drunk that they fell asleep on the lawn, and the androids began to show up and clean up the mess.

They carried the alchemists back to the various rooms on the ship, while some of the androids were sorting out the wine glasses scattered all over the floor and tidying up the tables.

Char was also a little drunk, he rarely got drunk, but he was really happy tonight, but he still remained conscious, and he also carried Alicia back to his room.

Char wiped her body, changed her clothes, placed her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then carefully closed the door and walked to the living room of the duplex suite.

Tony stood outside on the open balcony, quietly looking at Jupiter.

"I thought you were drunk." Tony looked at Char Dao who came down from upstairs.

"I thought you were drunk, too."

"My body has been modified, and metabolizing these alcohols is just a matter of will." Tony said.

"Where's the kid?" Char said.

"Asleep."

He slowly looked up at Jupiter, and after a brief silence, he spoke.

"Actually. I have never felt a sense of belonging to this world, I have no real friends, I don't know many people I know, and although I have lived for more than a hundred years, I have basically never left the laboratory. ”

After a pause, he whispered in a deep voice, "However, it's different now, after they also come to this world, I have to think carefully about how to create a quiet living environment for them." ”

"The world will probably be lively in the future." Char laughed.

"I know." Tony looked at the station, "So I'm going to do some research as well." ”

He slowly raised his hand, and a magic circle appeared in his hand, Char was very familiar with the patterns of this kind of magic circle, it was an alchemy magic circle.

"I've actually always had a vision." Tony said, "The application field of alchemy is very strong, but it will take a lot of time to realize it into combat power.

I wondered if I could do a little bit of work directly on this circle.

The principle of the alchemy circle is to understand, decompose, and reconstruct, and all three are generally carried out at the same time.

I wondered if I could forcibly abort the process between decomposition and reconstruction. ”

"You mean, make it a pure disintegration magic?" Char said.

"Yes." Tony nodded, "The magic of matter that can be broken down as long as it can be analyzed." ”

"Theoretically possible, and it's really powerful magic." Char muttered in a low voice, "However, you can't guarantee that you will understand everything, such as the dragon you haven't understood its structure yet. ”

"Therefore, if this magic wants to form combat effectiveness, it needs to complete one thing, that is, it needs a powerful instantaneous analysis device, which can analyze all the structures of the target by scanning in real time.

The second point is that there is a need for a large storage system that can link magic users, transmit data without delay, and transmit the parsed data stored inside at the same time as encountering enemies.

Long-distance real-time data transmission is not difficult for me, and quantum communication can solve this problem.

And all of this requires a huge calculation to support. ”

Tony slowly looked up at the space station.

"So everything seems to come back to the construction of this energy device." (End of chapter)
