Chapter 186 Banquet on the Outer Peninsula

From the boundary between the capital city and the outer peninsula, there are gorgeously dressed women waiting on both sides of the road.The warm spring breeze blows their dresses, revealing their snow-white thighs and soft waists.

Every few hundred meters, there is a lounge built with silk silk, where people who come to the banquet can rest and enjoy the night view.

And on the sea surface of Yan'an on the outer peninsula, countless brightly lit ships, accompanied by the sound of drums and music, slowly paraded around the island.

The airships, which are rarely seen on weekdays, are like balloons on National Day, flying wantonly on the island. They even hang lanterns to act as sky lighting.

Cheng Jinzhou got on an airship alone, and looked at the bustling scene below, feeling quite emotional.

In his impression, the Star Warlock Association has always been low-key. Now it is acting low-key, but he doesn't know why.

Two star warlocks greeted the guests, flying back and forth in the dark mid-air. In order to prevent accidental collisions, they were covered with shiny materials, looking like ducks fleeing from a barbecue.

"Mr. Cheng Jinzhou?" When the airship was about to reach the center of the peninsula, an astromancer boarded the ship to greet him.

"It's me." Cheng Jinzhou smiled innocently, looking like a 13-year-old child.

"Welcome to the banquet on the outer peninsula. The main location is below. Do you want to go there now?" The badge could not be seen clearly in the dark, but judging by his free posture flying in the air, he was at least a second-level star warlock.

Cheng Jinzhou was secretly speechless.The number of Star Warlocks born in the Star Warlock Association every year is very small, and sometimes there are only single digits in a whole year.But the lifespan of Astromancers is very long. Most of the time, people cannot see high-level Astromancers, mainly because they hide in unknown corners.

After moving the anti-gravity star array, Cheng Jinzhou tried his best to follow the opponent. At the same time, he asked casually: "I wonder why this banquet is held this time?"

"It's to welcome a distinguished guest." The astromancer didn't hide anything, took Cheng Jinzhou to his seat, and then flew into the sky again.

Gentlemen who have not received professional public relations training, although they have a high level, they may not be better than ordinary people in dealing with people.Cheng Jinzhou didn't even have a chance to ask the other party's name, and just watched him disappear into the dim sky.

……

"This is the banquet." Cheng Jinzhou looked at the bright lights and the sounds of people hidden among the pavilions, rockeries and green trees, feeling somewhat dazed.

From the dinner party he understood, the scale of the banquet in front of him seemed to exceed the standard.

It is not so much a place for chatting and chatting with wine, as it is in a feasting old car market. Buyers and sellers gather around a table as big as a car, wearing luxurious skirts and clothes, watching the crowd talking in the distance.

If two people get separated during the banquet, it is best to make an appointment to meet and try to arrive within an hour.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled bitterly at the unknown star warlock next to him and said, "Sure enough."

It is somewhat difficult to find a specific target among so many people.

Not only the star warlocks, but also nobles from the imperial court and localities came to the banquet. Some priests from the temple also came, and even merchants were invited.

Of course, businessmen with a little bit of self-awareness will stay at the resting places on both sides of the road. On the one hand, they can chat with other businessmen, and on the other hand, they will not show their timidity when surrounded by nobles. Only a few with a deeper background Businessmen will appear at the main banquet venue, occasionally wandering around the edges.

Cheng Jinzhou's body is still in the development stage. Although he has improved his physique recently and has grown a little taller, compared to the adults around him and all kinds of burly men, he is still extremely thin. Under the dim light, he is easily confused by people. In the group of noble children.

Yisu let out a "crack" laugh and said, "It seems that you guessed wrong."

It is obviously impossible for the outer peninsula to use such a large battle to deal with itself.Cheng Jinzhou understood in his heart, but refused to admit it: "You just want to kill time in sarcasm?"

"I want to tell you that the nearby energy fluctuations are not small."

"Someone uses Star Array?"

Yisu laughed again and said, "There are people using star arrays everywhere, but some people's star arrays are particularly powerful."

Cheng Jinzhou froze for a moment, and Yisu ran to entertain himself.

In addition to Liu Kuang's Star Warlock Tower, there are also several other third-level Star Warlock Towers nearby, which can be said to be the core area of ​​the outer peninsula.Cheng Jinzhou turned around from bottom to top, but couldn't find anything abnormal.

In the current situation, with his star array level, except for Yisu who can wake him up with a few words, he is basically a smear.

The banquet is basically in the form of buffet, but the tables are not neatly arranged.Instead, it is sandwiched between various decorations in a patchwork manner.People walk from table to table, often finding completely different food.

Men and women who climb up the rockery from the narrow corridor to have an affair will find a pot of fresh shellfish waiting for them; children who roll from the grass to the bushes will find some honey wrapped in the cotton cloth on the ground; Passing by, occasionally a boat full of barbecues will be found on the water.

After discovering two or three interesting foods, Cheng Jinzhou made looking for special foods the theme of the day. The banquet scene was so large that it was unexpected, and the previous idea of ​​meeting Warlock Liu Kuangxing was aborted bingo.

As he walked, Xiao Cheng noticed that there were fewer and fewer people around him. Just when he thought he was about to walk out of the main banquet area, several teenagers of his age appeared on the hillside in front of him.

"Who is it?" A knight wearing a bust armor suddenly emerged from the grass, holding a dagger in his hand.

If he had been placed before time travel, the sharp sword might have scared away half of his courage.

But now, Cheng Jinzhou only needs to straighten his chest with the badge, and he can shout: "Bold, kneel down."

In Daxia, knight can only be regarded as a transitional title.Because although they are the backbone of the empire, they do not have decisive value. Therefore, only a few knights who have obtained the title of Lord can be promoted to the power circle of the nobility.

And a knight without a noble title, facing an astromancer, whether he wants to or not, he has to slowly land on one knee.

Nothing happened, Cheng Jinzhou looked at the knight in his twenties with great interest, and said with a smile: "You have offended the astromancer, and you still dare to kneel on one knee. What are you relying on?"

The knight pursed his lips and remained silent, but dared to look directly at Cheng Jinzhou.

"Are you really not afraid of death, or do you think I dare not kill you, or? Do you think I am so smart that I can guess your life experience and the source of the seeds of your mother's pregnancy?"

What he said was a bit complicated, and the knight didn't understand it for a while, and when he figured out that he was about to turn over, he was held down by the shoulder again.

A boy with a bun looked at Cheng Jinzhou with sharp eyes and said, "My friend, you have crossed the line."

"Which line?"

The young man remained silent, looked at Cheng Jinzhou's badge for a while, and said, "Are you an astrologer from the Cheng family? A new two-star astrologer?"

"who are you?"

"You don't need to know..."

Cheng Jinzhou quickly interrupted him and said, "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell me your name, I'll treat you as a passer-by who doesn't know your name and kill you directly."

"You dare?" The young man was just an ordinary person, and he didn't expect that there would be a serious knight around him.

When the knight turned his head, Cheng Jinzhou was already floating in the air, and he was flying higher and higher.

He was worried about being stabbed by the knight's short sword. Although such a story rarely happened like a sniper shooting a helicopter, it was a possibility after all.

The young man below didn't know that Cheng Jinzhou's auxiliary star array was more powerful the farther away it was.He only saw that the opponent had almost completed the preparations for the Star Warlock's attack, so even though he held his head high, he had to shout loudly: "I am the fifth prince of Shanxu County of Daxia."

Cheng Jinzhou still maintained the state of attacking, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

It's a pity that his identity has been known by the other party, otherwise Cheng Jinzhou would have wanted to leave.

After thinking for a while, he lowered his height slowly, cupped his hands and said, "So it's the Fifth Prince, do you have proof?"

"Let me prove it." It was the third prince who spoke. He was slightly older. He patted Prince Shanxu on the shoulder and smiled at him: "Brother Jinzhou, I haven't seen you for a while."

His title is getting quieter day by day.

Cheng Jinzhou had a good impression of the third prince, and floated down slowly, but the star array on his arm was filled with energy.

With the stability of his star line connection, attacking a knight within three meters can penetrate his armor and send his intestines into the river 20 meters away.Unless the princes are accompanied by star warlocks with high-level defense capabilities, they have no chance to escape.

It is far more difficult to defend the star array than to attack the star array, and the effect is very small - no star warlock is willing to be a bodyguard for others, so even if there is royal training, sometimes it needs coincidence, and the number of recruitment is not enough to be consumed by the princes.

After all, it is easy to have a son, but difficult to raise a star warlock.

"This is Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock that I often mention to you." The third prince intentionally introduced to his fifth younger brother.

The so-called Prince Shanxu looked at Cheng Jinzhou unkindly and said hello with unclear reluctance.

Cheng Jinzhou sighed in his heart, why I have never encountered such a good thing as turning a war into a jade.

Putting on a pure smile, Cheng Jinzhou asked again: "Who is this Lord Knight?"

Several teenagers on the hillside came down. One of them heard his question and said in a very sarcastic tone: "Is it possible that Lord Star Warlock can't find any followers?"

In fact, the royal family is most jealous of star warlocks, and the elders' jealousy is usually most likely to be brought up on adolescents.

With someone backing him up, the knight himself laughed and said, "I am the grandson of King Lunan..."

The king of Lunan County is the uncle of Emperor Lizong. When he reached the grandson generation, the blood relationship has faded to the point where he cannot take care of the concubine. Knights are the best choice in this state-serving for a certain number of years, or participating in a non-intense battle. In the war, it is logical to grab a noble seat, such preferential treatment, and only the royal family can exist.

Cheng Jinzhou slowly raised his arm.

If you cannot make your enemy respect you, make him fear you.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the hostile gazes of the princes, and thought silently in the world composed of black and white star maps.
