Chapter 356: Night Banquet (2)

(Today's rì big seal, five more erupted 1.5W words!kneel begging for collection, subscription, monthly pass!)

The black sè stretch motorhome drove slowly through the city, and this night, Asgard was bustling with activity. Almost all of the electricity is supplied to this huge mountain city, so that the facades of each high-rise building are lit up with various lights. This would never happen in normal times, and even if Asgard had a few large power stations, it would not be able to supply the city with all the electricity throughout the day. Therefore, in the evening, the city will carry out off-peak electricity consumption in the area, and even stop any power supply in the peripheral areas.

Only tonight is special.

Zero sat in the RV, and across from him sat an old man in a black dress. The old man was a master specially invited by Valkyrie to conduct temporary etiquette training for Zero, he was born in an aristocratic family, and inherited a complete set of high-society communication etiquette from the old era. He was babbling on and on how to behave at the banquet, from the distance between the conversation and the handshake when leaving, from the different etiquette between men and women to the details that should be paid attention to during meals.

In order to remember these things, almost half of the brain domain memory center was opened to record the old man's words, and he himself looked absentmindedly at Shijie outside the car.

The main roads of Asgard can only be described as bustling with traffic, with high-end motorhomes driving in an orderly manner on the road. Each of these cars has a different pattern on it, and each one represents a family from Asgard's high society. But as far as Zero knows, there are only three families that can really be called wealthy in Asgardri.

They are the Helbens, the Black Roses, and the Brownins. These three giants, whether it is politics or shopping malls, occupy an important position in Asgardri, and even the twelve main gods cannot ignore their voices. And on this road, Zero will not see the cars of the big three giants, because they have a special road.

The highway that belonged to them set them apart from ordinary nobles, and greatly widened the gap between ordinary nobles and real wealthy families.

This knowledge is also what Zero just knew. It comes from, naturally, from the mouth of the master of etiquette. The old man was not only familiar with the social etiquette of the old days, but also knew the politics of Asgartri well. Of course, he can't give Zero an all-round lesson, but the general explanation is still okay, which characters in the three giants need to be paid attention to, what characteristics and habits they have, etc., all of which told Zero one by one.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound outside the car, and the lights exploded over Asgard. It was fireworks, but instead of gunpowder, it was a fireworks of energy released by elemental powerhouses.

Zero opened the window of the car and stuck his head out, and saw countless fireworks exploding in the sky, which quickly formed the symbol of Valhalla, and gradually receded. This is the prelude to the fireworks feast, and next, clumps of fireworks appear in the night sky. They change with a variety of patterns, such as flowers blooming and competing with each other, reflecting the city in different brilliance.

Watching the fireworks in the night sky all the way, the car stopped at the White Rock Square outside the city hall. An area has been planned for parking in the square, where all the nobles, except for the three magnates and other high-ranking dignitaries, have to get off and walk to the auditorium on their own legs.

The auditorium covers an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, and the appearance is like an elegant ancient temple, solemn and solemn. It was usually a place for the city council to discuss politics, and occasionally it became a stage for the aristocracy to enjoy opera, and today it is an important place for celebration dinners.

said that it was a celebration dinner, but in fact, it was just a name. The main purpose of this dinner is to provide an opportunity for the headquarters and the wealthy nobles to communicate with each other, and the promotion ceremony of a few people is just an incidental program. This trick played by the upper class has zero interest and lack of interest, but he can't help but come, even if it is for the sake of Ben's face, he will get it.

However, being able to show your face on such an occasion is also good for Zero's future prospects.

After making Zuihou's explanation, the old man drove Zero out of the car. Zero tightened his dress and walked towards the auditorium under the guidance of the waiter. Because he is not an ordinary guest, the waiter takes a special passage. It enters through the west side door of the Great Hall and passes through the vast hall to a room that has already been arranged for haode.

It is said to be a room, but it is already as big as the living room of the zero apartment, more than 200 square meters. The hall is softly lit and there is beautiful music that turns soft melodies around the room. In the room, Zero saw some familiar faces, which naturally included his comrades from the Battle of Jotunheim.

Kaede and Jotun were in the corner pointing at the waitress in the room, while Barrion sat alone on a crimson couch and drank a sullen drink. Su was talking to a man with his back to Zero, wearing a top hat and a cane, and with a good demeanor. Looking at him, Zero felt a little familiar. Then Su found zero, so the man turned his head, but it was Theon with a mustache.

Slightly surprised, he stepped forward and said, "Mr. Theon, why are you here?" ”

"It's hard to put into words. Theon sighed.

At this time, the waitress came to the three of them with a drink, and walked away with a red wine, leaving the space for the two men. Theon's brow furrowed, and he picked up a whisky and drank it, while Zero asked for orange juice.

When he was about to drink the whiskey to the end, Theon whispered, "Remut is done." ”

Zero lowered his head, on the way back, he had already heard the news.

When Rì Zero and the others thought that they had killed the creator Gulad, the crisis of Remut was resolved. In fact, in Gurad's Jihua, a Jihua who infiltrated and captured Remut quietly unfolded and finally succeeded.

The forces led by Avinot were led away by the living corpses, which eventually led to tragedy. Zero heard of the vast majority of the inhabitants of Remut and some of the defenders of Asgard killed in battle, including the Hammer of Doom, a powerful powerhouse.

Zero thought Theon would not be spared, but he met him here in Asgard.

Theon closed his eyes and said bitterly, "I also wanted to die with Remut and Pera, but Mr. Avinot rescued me. Now Lord Douglas has given me a foothold in this wonderful city, but when I close my eyes, I see the dead. ”

He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My dream is over. But you're different, zero, you're just getting started. ”

Zero was silent, and then the door opened, and the waiter said to everyone in the room, "Everyone, please come with me, the banquet has begun." ”

With a guard of honor composed of 300 people playing a rousing music, the banquet officially began. The hall that served as the venue was richly decorated, with soft dim lights flashing on every face, and women in noble dresses and polite men talking to each other, playing out a play of hypocrisy on this huge stage.

Serving wine and food weaves through the crowd, and music and vocals intertwine to create a picture scroll like a prosperous era.

When he saw the hall, Zero felt a trance, as if time had gone wrong, and the wilderness and the end times were just an absurd dream. It's no wonder that he is, after all, a warrior like Zero rarely has the opportunity to haunt such an occasion. Not only did Zero have this feeling, but even the few people were stunned for a while, only Berrien seemed to be surprised, and had already walked straight towards the venue.

"Lord Douglas would not hold a warrior's promotion ceremony on such an occasion for no reason, Zero, he must have done it with deep meaning. One of them, of course, wants you to integrate into high society, don't miss this opportunity. Theon smiled, as if he had changed back to the personable man he had been. But in his eyes, the divine light of pain hidden in the depths betrayed him.

Theon just changed into a mask, and he whispered to Zero, "I'll talk to you later, I'll take my leave first." ”

With Zero's nod, Theon turned his cane and walked towards the crowd. There are some people who are born to be sociable, and Theon is undoubtedly such a person. As for zero, it is undoubtedly not.

According to the procedure of the dinner, the opening ceremony was the speech of Ben and the buffet banquet, which was a relatively zìyóu part, where all guests could move around and talk to interested people without any constraints. And the intermediate procedure is the promotion ceremony of zero people. Zuihou is a speech by some political magnates, after which the dinner can be declared over. Of course, if the guests don't want to go, then they can stay, anyway, the party itself is prepared to work all night, and the food and wine will definitely be served constantly.

Although nominally, the few warriors who survived Jotunheim were the protagonists of the feast. But in fact, there are many people who are much more conspicuous than them. Among them, the most concerned are Valkyrie and Lokiri.

The goddess of war wore a silver sè dress tonight, which perfectly interpreted her glamorous temperament. From the moment Valkyrie entered, the eyes of nearly eighty percent of the male animals in the hall stayed on her for a long time. Zero had never complained for a moment that his five senses were so sharp as he did now, otherwise he wouldn't have heard the whispers of the hall hidden under the music and noise.

"Look, the goddess is in such a good figure. ”

"yes, I want to get her to bed to be more exciting. ”

"I want to taste her. ”

Nobility does not mean nobility, the erosive life corrodes the hearts of these people, and the power of the high position makes the ** lose the shackles of control, so in the eyes of zero, these so-called nobles are sometimes more unruly than the beasts of the wilderness.

These foul words must not have escaped Valkyrie's ears, and if it wasn't for the occasion and the right time, these people who dared to point fingers at her might have been greeted by Valkyrie's war spear.

As he pondered, Valkyrie seemed to feel something, looking in the direction of zero. Suddenly, the eyes of the two met in mid-air. Zero nodded in acknowledgment and raised his glass to Valkyrie. Valkyrie kept his face cold, and it wasn't until he saw Zero at this moment that he smiled a little.

Although there is only such a small smile, it makes people feel amazing as the ice and snow melt.
