Odd Containment Specialist

Chapter 290: Banquet (Part 3)

Walking to the second floor, some ministers in the crowd hurried to catch up, while other nobles of lower status stayed where they were, feeling relieved, and luckily escaped the purgatory-like torture that followed.

Xia Shou followed Charlie up the stairs and told Su Weiyu: "Stay away from me a little. If we fight, you may be affected. Just watch and look for opportunities. If there is an opportunity, take action. If there is no opportunity, just wait. I can handle it myself."

After experiencing the battle with the vampire viscount, Xia Shou knew very well that it would be difficult for Su Weiyu to help in the melee.

The physical characteristics of vampires make it extremely difficult to kill at one time, which is equivalent to weakening Su Weiyu's assassination ability in disguise.

The vampire's own high-speed fighting method is too fast and violent. Even if they can't see Su Weiyu and just fight with him, they may hit Su Weiyu during the high-speed movement. If the opponent's ability happens to be a range move like the last vampire, then the probability of Su Weiyu being accidentally injured is almost 100%.

Xia Shou didn't think there would be a conflict with the royal blood clan this time, but if there was a conflict, it would definitely be a melee.

When going upstairs, Charlie suddenly asked: "I heard that you are from a place called Daming?"

Xia Shou nodded: "That's right."

"But the spirit behind you seems to be from our side." Charlie asked casually.

Xia Shou threw out the reason he had prepared long ago: "I met her when I first arrived on this continent. Later, due to many coincidences, she finally became my spirit, which can be said to be fate."

"Really? What can she do?" Charlie asked with a smile.

"She can help me with a little favor, such as making tea for me." Xia Shou replied.

This high and mighty king seemed to be very interested in Alice.

There was a warm and excited noise coming from upstairs, as if hundreds of people were cheering in a narrow space. Everyone followed the past and walked through the dim corridor. The door at the end slowly opened under the push of two black-clad waiters. The heat of sweat and blood gushed out from the gap of the door, and the vibrant heat wave brushed Xia Shou's face.

The cheers behind the door were clearer and warmer. Xia Shou couldn't help but guess that the other side was the circus performance that the other party mentioned?

Below was a huge basin that was specially enclosed, like a Colosseum. You could see more than a dozen humans holding various weapons, fighting wits and courage with a strong blood slave in the rock maze. The blood slave's feet were restrained by black iron shackles, and he could only crawl in the maze with his hands.

This gave the battle between humans and blood slaves a certain delicate balance.

"I heard that you are an official there?" Charlie stared at Xia Shou with his bright eyes, and the smile on his face was a little creepy.

Xia Shou nodded quietly.

"What do you do?"

"Protect the emperor, who is the same person as your majesty." Xia Shou said in a literary way. Even in English, he distinguished his words from those of the local natives, making himself look like a genuine foreigner in the details.

"Then why did you come here? This place is not close to yours. I have never heard of the Ming Dynasty."

"Before arriving here, people over there had never heard of Great Britain or the British Empire." Xia Shou said unwillingly, trying his best to act like a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty.

When Duke George, who had been waiting on the side, heard this, his face froze. He didn't even know how to make up for Xia Shou.

Saying this is like dancing on a tiger's ass, shaving a lion's head, and pulling out the teeth of an elephant!

This was the second time that this ignorant man had offended their king. He had no idea how serious the consequences would be.

But shockingly, Charlie's performance was calmer than the first time.

This time, even his expression did not fluctuate. Instead, he smiled and nodded, looking at this mysterious foreigner with more curiosity.

"You have a good relationship with the Guzman family. How did you know each other?" Charlie asked.

Guzman is the family name used by Kurid and his friends to disguise themselves. In their external personalities, Tobeka, Kurid, and Jack are a family, and Xia Shou is a good friend of the Guzman family.

"Mr. Guzman and I met in a dream." Xia Shou said.

This lie is flawless. The extraordinary people have never stopped their research on the Root Sea. Dreams have always been a mysterious and profound unknown field for the extraordinary people. Anything can happen in dreams, and the reality is indeed the case. The origins of countless extraordinary things all come from dreams.

It is not impossible for two ordinary people to meet through dreams in two continents that have never intersected and two strange countries that have never seen each other. At least this statement has no loopholes.

At this point, Xia Shou has heard the king's doubts about his identity.

Xia Shou began to have a headache.

What on earth does this person want to do?

"It's really interesting. On behalf of Britain, I welcome you, my foreign friend." Charlie smiled.

This sentence made a minister following Charlie feel relieved. He laughed happily and echoed: "In Britain, you will definitely see things that you have never seen in your country."

As soon as the minister finished speaking, Charlie's hand stretched out like lightning. There was no movement in the air. His arm was fuzzy for a moment, as if leaving a phantom, and then the minister's head appeared in Charlie's hand.

The head was still alive, showing a horrified expression, and the neck without the head was gushing blood. The cheers of the audience who were originally attracted by the beast fighting show suddenly quieted down.

"What's wrong? Is today's show not good? I designed this maze myself." Charlie looked at the crowd and laughed a short and strange laugh. The nobles immediately turned their eyes to the Colosseum and cheered in cold sweat.

Duke George stood aside obediently, pretending not to see anything, and let the hot blood rain wet his dress.

Charlie spread his palm flat, held up the minister's head, and let the minister's face face Xia Shou. The mouth of the head was still opening and closing, and the corners of the mouth were trying to rise, smiling flatteringly, as if he wanted to say something.

Charlie raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Shou, smiling and asked: "What is he talking about?"

Xia Shou couldn't stand the pressure a little bit. This king is a complete lunatic!

What is he singing? I am just a mortal, and they are all high-level vampires. What is their purpose? Why do they have to beat around the bush and be so coy?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt. If you have something to say, please speak directly. If there is nothing else, can you let me go?"

Charlie was stunned, opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched. The nasolabial folds carved on both sides of his nose made him look like an angry devil.

After a long while, he said, "I want to ask you, what exactly do you want to do in this country?"
