Chapter 816 Ambiguous

As more and more guests came with invitations, nobles in twos and threes can be seen everywhere in the banquet hall and corridors, stopping to admire the decorations placed on the walls or corners, discussing in low voices from time to time, with expressions of embarrassment on their faces. Concealed surprise.

In order to show the wealth and heritage of the ruler of West Hartland Kingdom, Shikodi...

Well, in fact, in Henry's opinion, his family belongs to the out-and-out upstarts. It has only been about ten years since becoming an aristocrat. Where did the background come from...

But since his wife insisted, he couldn't say anything more. Anyway, no one would be so stupid as to offend a notorious legendary spellcaster because of such a trivial matter, at least on the surface.

In order to show the wealth and heritage of the royal family... Shikodi took out all the cultural relics looted from the first family of Uster Nassar, and decorated the palace, which was expanded from the original duke's mansion, into a retro elf style , coupled with the royal guards wearing exquisitely shaped armor, give people the illusion that they have come to the elf Wang Ting of Yongju Island.

In the corner of the banquet hall, a stylishly dressed lady stood in front of the half-naked human statue and sighed: "Sir Torre, look, this sculpture is the work of the most outstanding elf artist more than 10,000 years ago. How perfect The line processing, especially the emerald eyes, is so lifelike that it is impossible for a human craftsman to achieve this level in a lifetime. Similar handicrafts and fine arts can be seen everywhere in the palace, and now I am looking forward to the auction after the banquet. , it seems that the Angomei family is even richer than rumored."

"You are right, Ms. Blanche. Each of these works of art can be used as a family heirloom. I believe that many guests will come with the same purpose, and the competition will be very fierce. In addition... "Speaking of this, the middle-aged man called Sir Torrey carefully looked around to confirm that no one was eavesdropping before lowering his voice mysteriously. "I heard that these artworks come from an underground city full of evil dark elves!"

"Oh... Ms. Fire Hair (another name for the God of Love and Beauty, Shuna), is it Uster Natha who was rumored to have been completely destroyed by terrifying magic?" Blanche's face suddenly changed. It's a little pale. He covered his chest with his hand and patted it lightly. "It's horrible! My heart beats faster every time I think about it."

The two slightly trembling spheres on her chest instantly caught Sir Torrey's attention. The man with the mustache hurried forward and supported the lady attentively, without leaving his eyes from the "career line".

After secretly swallowing his saliva, he said with a light smile: "Dear Blanche, you are so kind, you must know that in my opinion, those evil dark elves are not worthy of sympathy, think about the things they often create on the surface Let's kill. Such an evil race should be severely punished."

"Hey... you men are all virtuous, and your mind is full of thoughts of conquest and violence. Although at certain special moments, it does make people's blood spurt, and it feels very... exciting..." The lady said with a smile on her face. With ambiguous eyes, he covered his mouth with the fan in his hand and secretly smiled.

Obviously, as a woman who believed in the goddess of love, Shuna, her hints couldn't be more obvious.

Sir Torrey bent down and kissed the back of the other party's hand deeply. Just as he was about to say a few nasty (love) words, the door of the main hall was suddenly opened. The soldiers guarding the door shouted loudly: "His Majesty the King is here! Your Majesty the Queen is here!"

Immediately, all the guests in the house stopped no matter what they were doing, and bowed to the host who entered the venue.

There are no fools who can get tickets. They have already inquired about Henry's deeds through various channels, especially the stories that elf bards are spreading around recently, which made everyone feel trembling from the bottom of their hearts.

The evil dark elf city, the terrifying army of monsters, the legendary mage trying to steal the divinity, the giant dragon that only appears in the story, as the person who can defeat all these, there is no doubt that he has more powerful power, Therefore, it is very necessary to maintain sufficient respect.

Henry narrowed his eyes and scanned all the people, and suddenly found that Cynthia was among them. He immediately frowned, and asked his wife quietly, "What's going on? Why did you bring this spy to the banquet?"

The corners of Shikodi's mouth turned up slightly. With a smug smile, he replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, I asked Robert and Amy, and they said that in this state, Cynthia has no destructive power, and is just a little confused girl. I think it's totally ok Using her unusual attractiveness as the host of the auction..."

"Damn! Don't you know she's very dangerous?" Henry felt a headache for a moment. "Forget it, that's it for today, and try to minimize contact with her in the future. Although this woman is harmless for the time being, but for the safety of you and the children, it's better to keep a distance as much as possible."

He couldn't guarantee when the people in Shadow City would activate this chess piece again, and he also didn't know what Cynthia's specific abilities were. After all, as a descendant of the demon prince Demogorgon, she would never show it like usual so harmless.

Shikodi nodded with regret: "Okay. Listen to you. But I really like her now, she looks so innocent. It seems that the years have never left a little bit on the soul. trace……"

Henry ignored his wife's emotion, put on a polite smile again, and shouted to all the guests with open arms: "Welcome to the Kingdom of West Hartland, please enjoy the carefully prepared dishes and fine wines, as the host, I hope You all have a great night. Of course, there will be a little thrilling sideshow at the end, which will not disappoint anyone."

After saying this polite prologue, he came to the table and stuffed a cherry into his mouth, then raised his exquisite wine glass to greet everyone, and then took a sip of the wine.

"I wish you and Your Majesty the Queen a long and healthy life!"

The guests also raised their wine glasses and saluted in unison.

After the necessary etiquette was over, everyone slowly relaxed and began to taste delicious food at will, especially the fresh vegetables and fruits that are hard to see in early spring. Everyone who tasted it was full of praise.

You must know that off-season fruits cannot be eaten in other places except the Arcane Garden of the mages. As for druids, they have this ability, but they certainly won't do such things that violate the laws of nature easily.

For the banquet, Shi Kodi was obviously more comfortable than her husband, and it didn't take long for her to chat and laugh in the noble circle alone, as if she was a hostess. It can be seen from the expressions of the people around them that their topic is either clothes or jewelry.

"Woman..."

Henry sighed helplessly, and immediately planned to find a quiet place to sit for an hour or two, waiting for the auction to start. He was not in the mood to chat with the guests in a boring way, nor was he interested in hunting for beauty on such an occasion. Although for the nobles, this is already a common thing.

"You don't seem to like such an occasion? Then why do you still come?" Hina, who had been silently following behind her, finally spoke.

Since the forced kiss incident just happened, the relationship between the two has suddenly become much more complicated, just like those men and women who accidentally crossed the boundary of friends, they are a bit unable to adapt to the current situation, to be exact, Dragon Girl cannot Adapt, conflict and fear can be seen from her eyes, like a child who has done something wrong.

As for Henry, he enjoyed the exciting and hot feeling very much, so he turned around and smiled at Dragon Girl: "So what if you don't like it, things in this world don't stop happening just because you hate them. Life is This is full of helplessness and compromise. So when something irresistible happens, what we have to do is not to struggle in pain, but to learn to enjoy. Look at these guests. Their lives are also full of all kinds of troubles and Distressed, but it’s not the same as having fun now.”

Hina didn't expect such an answer, her face flushed slightly, obviously recalling the kiss a few minutes ago.

She stroked her long blond hair, bit her lower lip hard, and asked with some embarrassment, "Are you implying something?"

"No, I'm just stating a fact. You always regard the bloodline of the red dragon as a disaster, and try your best to suppress it. But doing so is of no avail. The more you suppress something, the more difficult it is to control. What's more, as a half-dragon People, if you suppress the blood, you will not be able to gain more power from it, and it is not worth the loss." Henry explained very patiently.

He has long been able to use the blood of the ancient red dragon to make the dragon girl stronger, but the premise is that he must actively cooperate, especially accepting the restless power in the blood from the heart is not an easy task. The draconians all went berserk in the process, causing quite horrific damage.

"But...but I'm a monster. Don't you mind at all?"

After several minutes of silence, Hina finally asked the doubts that had been buried in her heart. It can be seen that she is quite inferior in this regard, and even once wanted to hide in the mountains to live in seclusion.

"Mind? Why should I mind!" Henry asked with a smile.

Hina took a deep breath and replied, "I have wings, claws, horns on my head, and a tail behind me. Aren't these ugly?"

After listening to Dragon Girl's words, Henry couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha! On the contrary. I think they are all charming and can give people a stimulation that cannot be described in words. A kind of flame-like enthusiasm. To be honest, I prefer I like the real you just now."

"You think I'm attractive like that?!" Hina's eyes widened instantly, with an incredible expression on her face. "You're a weirdo, and pretty crazy, too."

"Thank you for your compliment. In fact, you should think about the problem from a different angle. It will be much easier than it is now." Henry said and pointed to a person who was walking this way. "Also, don't underestimate your own charm. See if the man in the turban is there, I bet he must be attracted by your beauty and temperament."

Hina looked up at the guy in the weird costume, and frowned slightly: "I think this guy came close to you, and there's a young girl behind him."

"Let us wait and see that sentence, anyway, the answer will be revealed soon." Henry didn't care about the slightly sour tone of the dragon girl, and a playful smile appeared on his face... (to be continued~^~)
