Chapter 237
In the evening, the Holy Empire gave a banquet to all the students and teachers, and then the villain had a dispute with the male protagonist. The reason was that Ren was sitting on the first-grade representative seat, which made the villain very unhappy. Before the banquet started, he attacked the male protagonist. The Lord provokes.
Finally, the eldest prince of the empire appeared, sided with the male protagonist, and drove the villain out.
Chapter 19: How dare someone arrest me?
The name of this eldest prince is Sylvester Tanya.
As an important supporting role, he is handsome, generous, courteous, informal, and very kind to civilians. He is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. He is well-known both in the court and among the people.
And he will be canonized as the crown prince soon.
Such an outstanding character will naturally become one of the protagonist's gay friends.
After that, he has a very important plot.
When Qiyu regained the throne and prepared for peace talks with humans, and when he was about to succeed, the sinking of Magic Shell Island occurred, and he had to negotiate with humans in the hope of occupying a place on the mainland to survive.
It's just that the human camp has different opinions, resulting in long-term negotiations without results. With life and death at stake, Qiyu had no choice but to prepare for a war first and seize territory directly.
The war ended just as it started. The truth about the sinking of Magic Shell Island came to light, and it was found that someone had done it deliberately. The future crown prince was one of the planners.
The truth was revealed. It turned out that the Crown Prince hated the demons very much. He felt that the demons had always gone back on their word and negotiations were useless. It was better to directly destroy the land they relied on for survival and then take the opportunity to annihilate them all.
This reason was recognized by many people at the time. Sylvester did not receive any punishment, and the matter just passed.
Rin has never been very fond of this character, always feeling that there was something wrong with Lin Wuyue's portrayal of the character.
After all, this character was previously written as Guangfeng Jiyue who was devoted to the people, but later he was able to plunge the mainland into war again. If it was not stopped in time, the war between humans and demons would inevitably end in disaster.
This kind of behavior is very contradictory compared to his previous performance, and always makes Rin feel like a hypocrite.
However, no matter what he is like, if he dares to provoke this young master and the black fox, he will be done with it.
Rin retracted her thoughts and continued to go shopping with Qi Yu. Unfortunately, she went into a few alleys along the way and didn't meet the vendor from yesterday. She didn't know if he was caught.
After eating at a high-end restaurant at noon and shopping in the afternoon, Rin and Qiyu returned to the guesthouse.
They went out early, when most of the students were still sleeping, and they saw few people. When they came back, they saw people coming and going at the reception hall gate, and students wearing various school uniforms were walking around talking and laughing.
Some of them who are good at sociability also have lively chats with students from other colleges and inquire about each other's information.
The opening ceremony of the Academy Cup will not begin until tomorrow, and the competition will officially begin the day after tomorrow. The students will have a lot of time to have fun in Glow City.
The dinner starts at half past six, and students will arrive at six o'clock.
It's now half past five, and many students are rushing back one after another.
"Junior, you go in first, I have something to do."
The black fox stared at a building at the end of the street for a while, then whispered into Rin's ear.
Rin followed her gaze and saw that at the end of the room was a corner building with a cafe sign, and asked: "Then are you still coming to the banquet?"
"It depends."
Qiyu handed the paper bag containing cookies to Rin, waved and turned to leave.
Rin glanced at the conspicuous golden bouquets on the window sill on the second floor of the cafe, guessing that Qiu Yu had some information to report, so he didn't pay too much attention and walked towards the door.
At this moment, a figure rushed towards this side quickly, knocking several passing students to the ground. The figure continued running wildly without slowing down.
The students suddenly became confused. Rin frowned and found that he was on the opponent's sprint route. He quickly stepped aside and barely missed him.
And just when they narrowly avoided it and the two of them were staggered, Rin suddenly felt the paper bag in his hand sink, and something was added to it.
Looking down, he saw a square piece of metal appearing in the paper bag. Just then, a group of guards chasing the man had arrived.
One after another is just a breath away,
Rin didn't know what he was thinking at the time. Maybe he thought this thing was very important, or maybe he didn't want to get in trouble with the guards, so he accidentally threw the metal cube into the storage space.
Fortunately, the guard didn't notice it and ran away after the black shadow.
After coming back to her senses, Rin slapped her head and secretly thought that it would be more troublesome to do this. She could only wait for the Demon King to come back and leave it to her.
Entering the spacious dining room of the reception hall, many students were already seated and waiting.
There are rows of long Western-style dining tables, where students from different schools sit, and a vertical banner of the school badge hangs next to the chandelier in the corridor.
Rin searched around and finally found her school desk and walked straight over.
Speaking of school badges, he was well prepared on the way from Holy City to Glow City. He got introductions to the participating schools from the Demon King, and he even remembered the school uniforms and badges clearly.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have recognized those domineering guys from Shelley Empire’s Snow River College just at a glance yesterday.
When they arrived at their school table, Christo happened to be sitting at the bottom, so Rin walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Christo was originally not eligible to participate, but because Jonas, one of the individual hunting competition contestants, encountered danger and was seriously injured during training, and is still recovering from his injuries, so he, the third child who was dismissed, took his place in the competition.
When someone tapped her on the shoulder, little Chrissy was startled and almost cried on the spot.
"What are you doing? Is it me? If you cry, I will beat you until your face is full of peach blossoms."
Hearing the familiar voice, Christina's tense shoulders relaxed, she shrank her neck, and lowered her head in shame.
"Master Rin, I'm sorry... I thought it was someone else."
Rin rolled his eyes, sat next to him, glanced around the table, and asked strangely: "Where are Emilia and Elise? Why didn't the fake sword master come back?"
Christina quickly said: "Lady Emilia and the others came to see Master Lin after they came back in the morning, but Master Lin never came back. In the afternoon, they were invited away by the palace people."
Rin touched his chin: "Well, it seems that he went to attend the dinner party over there."
"Rin-san!"
Lin turned around when he heard the sound and saw that it was an unfamiliar teacher leading the group.
The teacher pointed to the first few tables and said: "Rin-san, you should sit over there. There are tables for college representative students. You will represent the first-year students of our college."
"ha?"
Rin pointed at herself: "Me?"
The teacher smiled: "Ms. Amelia has a special status, and you always have the best overall score in the first grade. Who else is it if it's not you? Go ahead."
"Uh, okay."
Rin stood up, glanced at Ren who was still talking and laughing with his classmates, knocked Christo on the head, and walked towards the representative seat proudly.
The last one was the first-year long table. As the leading college representative in Wanjing Continent, he sat at the head of the table without hesitation.
There are all students from Wanjing Continent here, so there will be no objections.
Rin crossed his arms and put on a very proud look, but in his mind, he was thinking about how the plot would change so quickly.
Thinking about it, he led the group hunting competition, team competition, individual competition and the structure of techniques, registered for the most competitions, and had the best results in all trials.
If you can't be a representative, then it's really like hell.
But the problem is, in this case, how can there be an excuse to provoke the male protagonist and then cause a conflict?
Hey, forget it, the plot is just like a piece of garbage. I don’t care what he does. Anyway, even if he strays from the plot, I have the final say on punishment and so on.
What Rin is more concerned about now is what happened to that metal cube and how it happened to come to him by accident.
After sitting and waiting for a while, it was almost six-thirty and Qiyu hadn't come yet, so Rin had to ask for leave for her.
At half past six, all the students were sitting upright, listening to the official responsible for entertaining them, saying a lot of kind words.
Then the dining cars came in one by one, and the male and female waiters placed the plates from the dining cars on the table one by one.
Not long after, many exquisite appetizers were placed on each table.
The welcome officer had just finished his speech and was about to let the students start eating when a loud shout suddenly sounded at the door of the restaurant.
"etc!"
Everyone looked toward the door and saw a tall man dressed as a knight, holding a long sword on his waist and scanning the students with suspicious eyes.
Behind him, there were many soldiers, and it was impossible to see exactly how many of them were blocked at the door.
The reception official's face immediately fell, and he pointed at the man and yelled: "Who are you? This is a state banquet venue for foreign guests. How dare you disturb yourself? Why don't you leave quickly!"
When Rin saw the person coming, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she already felt something bad in her heart.
The standard armor worn by these people is the same as that of the patrolling guards, which means they are from the Security Department, and they may be here for the metal cubes.
The visitor was not afraid at all, and stretched out his hand to salute in the direction of the palace: "I, Captain Reed, of the Third Team of the Security Department, in order to defend the majesty of the royal family and the church, under the order of the director, Mr. Albert, specially arrested the lawbreakers. It's a very important matter, so please take it easy, and I hope you will understand me."
He said, waving to summon a few people.
"Identify who the prisoner has been in contact with."
Their rampage immediately caused an uproar among the students.
The banquet, which was originally a good one, was broken into by someone, and he was so ignored, which immediately made the receptionist furious.
"Are you trying to destroy diplomatic relations and seek death?"
Reed came up to him and whispered a few words. The receptionist's expression softened a little, but he was still a little unhappy. He snorted coldly: "Even so, we should wait until the banquet is over. Meng Lang will wait later." Punish it."
Reed didn't take it seriously and raised his hand: "These directors will naturally carry it down. We are just following orders and cannot tolerate mistakes for a long time. If someone runs away with the things, the brothers will be finished. ”
Rin was relatively close to them and had good hearing. When he heard the conversation between the two, he knew that the thing in his hand was very important.
I was really afraid of why I was doing this. If I had known earlier, I might as well have thrown that thing away and wasted some time explaining it.
After thinking about it, he was a holy son and had a lot of titles, so there was nothing to worry about. Rin instantly calmed down.
Those guards had average memories, and there were many students present. After searching for a long time, everyone who asked them said they didn't know or were not there at the time.
However, there is always a way, and several people quickly noticed the conspicuous Rin.
There is no way, Young Master Lin is sitting in the chief seat. He has a handsome mixed-race appearance and an arrogant demeanor. He is not very tall and looks young. He has so many distinctive features that it is difficult not to notice.
"He's one of them!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I also remember that the criminal passed by him at that time. What was he holding in his hand?"
Several people pointed at Lin in unison and talked at the same time.
Rin's eyelids jumped, and he stood up slowly and performed a noble etiquette to Reed.
"I don't know what you guys want from me?"
Reed strode forward and looked at Rin. He intuitively felt that this rich young man was not ordinary.
"My classmate, an hour ago, at the door of the guesthouse, did you see the guards chasing a man in a brown cloak?"
Rin pretended to recall it and nodded: "I have this impression. The guy almost hit me."
Reed immediately asked nervously: "Did you see him drop anything at that time, or give it to someone?"
Rin wanted to take it out openly and directly clear the relationship, but at this time, another person came to the restaurant.
"Reed, have you found the accomplice?"
Rin frowned and looked at the person who came.
The other party was a tall, black-haired young man in his thirties, with a very pale face, dark circles under his eyes, and a gloomy expression. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked very arrogant.
As soon as this man came in, he labeled the man as an accomplice before the facts were clear, which made Lin very upset. At this time, he was not in a hurry to take him out, but raised his chin with a cold look.
When Reed saw the man coming, his back was bent, and he hurriedly approached him, nodded and said: "Sir, we were chasing too fast at that time, and the brothers didn't see clearly, so we recognized one of them at close range..."
Before he finished speaking, the sinister young man interrupted him with a sharp voice.
"So you found the accomplice? Who is it? Is it a student, teacher or attendant here?"
Reed smiled awkwardly, and felt that his boss, who relied on his father as the boss, was incompetent and nt. He came here to attract hatred. If there was a diplomatic incident, he would probably be blamed because of his background.
"Lord Albert, the people present here are all teachers and students from abroad. They are unlikely to be accomplices. It should be just a coincidence."
"Coincidence? Humph, there is no such coincidence in the world. The criminal ran to the South Guest House by chance, and then he was caught by us and committed suicide by chance. The thing also happened to be not on him."
Albert spoke harshly and looked around coldly at the teachers and students present.
As a top noble of the world's first empire and a royal bloodline, he has been praised for a long time and has long thought that he is a superior person. He does not take these students from remote villages seriously at all.
That thing is being watched by the whole government, including His Majesty. It is his life and property. Its importance is far more than a banquet to entertain foreign guests.
