The Calm Life of the Best Skull

Chapter 102 Hongmen Banquet

The lights are brilliant, the flowers are clustered tightly, and the scarlet carpet is spread from the entrance of the main hall to the back garden.

At this moment, almost all the dignitaries covering the entire imperial capital are concentrated in this area.Music, dance, food, conversation...weaved together into a peaceful and lively atmosphere under the night.

Through this kind of large-scale banquet, there will always be an intricate network of interests behind it, and smart people will never let go of such an opportunity.Not to mention profiteers like Frey Clark...

But before doing anything, Frey Clark still greeted Orff, the president of the Magic Guild.After all, the Heiner auction still belongs to the Magic Guild in name, and as an agent, he naturally needs to greet Orff on the surface.

Seeing Frey Clark, Orff, who had a gloomy face, forced a smile.It can be seen that the recent magic guild did not seek any advantage from the Holy See of Light.

Regarding the entanglement between these two giants, Frey Clark knew he couldn't get involved, so he was smart enough not to talk too much about it.Just as Frey Clark was holding a glass of wine from his attendant and was about to leave to greet a few business partners, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

The wine he just drank in his mouth was almost sprayed out, and Frey Clarke quickly covered his posture with his hands, and quickly dodged into the crowd, but his eyes were still closely following the one who was walking man.

Frey Clark finally heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the other party was not accompanied by the skeleton that made him have nightmares for several nights, regardless of why the man suddenly appeared at such a large banquet.Anyway, as long as he didn't come to make trouble for him, in Frey Clark's directional thinking, that man obviously belonged to the same category as a certain skeleton—pervert!

It was too late for such a guy to hide, and Frey Clark was not stupid enough to get close to him, so he straightened his clothes, pretending that he didn't see anything, and headed in the opposite direction to someone.

The people who came to the banquet this time were obviously divided into three factions, one was close to the Magic Guild, the other was to please the Holy See of Light, and the last faction, which was the largest number of people present, were all in a wait-and-see state.

Due to the high standard of the banquet, most of the people who can enter have a certain background.Therefore, the onlookers who are divided into the third faction don't have to worry about offending these two forces...

For this kind of situation, the people of the Magic Guild and the Holy See of Light are obviously used to it, and they work independently without interfering with each other.

In this kind of place, even if enemies meet, they have to put personal grievances aside first.After all, this is the place where the emperor Lao Tzu belongs, and they cannot be allowed to be presumptuous.

It's just that compared to the polite and hypocritical smiles on everyone's faces, the members of the Magic Guild and the Holy See of Light couldn't smile at each other no matter what.

Although the turmoil of the Haina auction has passed, the magic guild that suffered the most losses is still brooding about it. This can be seen from the fact that they have spared no effort to cause trouble for the Holy See of Light recently.The Magic Guild is trying to stabilize the tilted balance of power between the two parties...

Although the Holy See of Guangming actively resisted, it still couldn't change the fate of being dragged into the muddy water and couldn't wash away its shame.However, compared to the loss of the Magic Guild, the Holy See still has the upper hand this time.But even so, Aslott didn't have a good face in the face of a group of flattering people.

What he is most worried about now is not his deadly enemy "Magic Guild", but the prophecy left by Aisha before her death.Although Aslott clearly implied that his prophecy was nothing, but just in case, he still sent people to kill the child again and again.

But the successive failures made Aslot become irritable. Even though he knew that with his own strength, the opponent couldn't pull off any tricks at all, but he still felt like a thorn growing in his heart, and he couldn't pull it out.

There was a bad premonition in the dark, Aslot wanted to go back to the holy courtyard irritably, but he couldn't refute Emperor Leiyou's face.After all, in this sensitive period, any of his actions may prove to be true.What's more, there is a magic guild watching behind. Aslott has no doubt that the other party may use this to spread rumors and make trouble.

Although the current Guangming Holy See has the upper hand on the surface, it may not be severely dragged down by the Magic Guild on the cusp of the storm.As the pope, Aslott has to be scruples about everything, and it is impossible to let his own temper go, not to mention, there is a royal family watching...

Just as Aslott was holding the wine glass, dealing with the crowd and thinking, someone suddenly stopped him.

Aslott's first reaction was to twitch his eyelids, and his second reaction was to put on a smile and always maintain a calm demeanor in front of the enemy.

The person who stopped him was a hale and hearty old man, who was also the presiding judge of the Holy See who had been missing for a long time—Lothar Leviathan.Aslott didn't react too much when he saw him, but when he saw the indifferent man following him, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

"Aslot, long time no see. I didn't expect you to maintain such a demeanor after so many things happened recently." Lothar smiled, not letting go of the other party's fleeting gaffe.

"It's been a long time, I thought you had forgotten your identity." Aslot nodded with a smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on the person behind him: "This is ?”

Before Lothar could speak this time, the man had calmly introduced himself: "Hugh Ocalide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aslot suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Okalid...you remind me of someone."

Xiu looked at him indifferently, and after a while, he raised the corners of his lips and said, "You will see that person soon."

A dangerous light flashed in his eyes for an instant, and Aslott finally suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and then he looked away and sneered at Lothar: "I think this banquet invites a certain group of people, right? I don’t know what kind of identity this person has to come in?!”

"My lord Pope, you are busy with your affairs. Naturally, you don't know about yesterday's knight camp. He has officially announced his status as the head of the regiment." The uglier complexion.As if he was afraid that the stimulation would not be enough, he added: "Of course, I'm afraid what you didn't expect is that this head of the regiment is the former savior of His Highness the Sixth Highness." These words clearly meant to tell Aslott that they had already Join forces with the royal family.

"Really, I was really careless." Aslot smiled coldly.

The three archbishops looked at each other, and couldn't help saying that they dispersed in three directions to block the possible escape routes of the two.

"Aslot, don't forget what is this place?" Lothar kicked the staff in his hand heavily, humming.

The confrontation here seems to have attracted the attention of the people around. Just as Aslott was sullen, hesitating whether to take action to completely eradicate the hidden danger of repairing, a sarcasm came in across the crowd: "Oh, who did I think it was? Such boldness, I never thought it was you, Aslott."

As soon as the words fell, Orff walked up in front of everyone: "Why, are you planning to ride on the emperor's head now, and dare to do it here?"

Seeing his rival, Aslot's face became even more ugly: "Orff, this is our internal problem, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Tsk tsk, I don't care if you guys start internal strife, but please find out the occasion first, this is not the back garden of your Holy See." Orff sneered, he didn't care whether these people were engaging in internal strife, as long as they could If there is a chance to catch Aslott, he will naturally spare no effort to suppress it.

"Orff, don't speak too much." Aslot gritted his teeth, but he did not forget to wink at Xiu and Lothar.

Orff raised his eyebrows, obviously not paying attention.However, due to his strong intervention, the originally complicated situation became even more chaotic.And Lothar and Xiu seemed to have expected this to happen. At this time, they kept silent tacitly. The people around were also watching the excitement, and no one dared to step forward to stop them.After all, everyone is well aware of the grievances between these two families.

Just when the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was getting stronger, the belated Emperor Lei You finally appeared on the stage accompanied by De Feila.

Everyone who was planning to watch a good show couldn't help feeling sorry, but Aslott secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It is true that if the turmoil continues like this, he may be forced to charge him with some crimes by Orff.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Emperor Lei You, but to the surprise of those present, Emperor Lei You, who had always been energetic, looked tired at this moment.Amidst the surprise or caring greetings of the crowd, Emperor Lei You waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "It's nothing to do, it's just that my throat feels a little uncomfortable recently."

Hearing this, Aslott, who was eager to change the subject, immediately greeted him with concern, and said, "Your Majesty, would you like me to ask the priest of the Holy See to come and see you?"

"Aslot, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the physicians in His Majesty's court are not as good as those missionaries in your Holy See?!" Orff glanced at him, not letting go of the opportunity to sneer.

Aslot's voice sank: "I just care about His Majesty's body, unlike some people who only yell at the side."

"You..." Orff stared.

At this time, Emperor Lei You coughed a few times suddenly, looked at the two people facing each other unnaturally, and interrupted: "We'll talk about this matter later."

The two had no choice but to keep their mouths shut, they still knew their primary and secondary identities.Thus, Emperor Lei You took the first place among the respectful voices of the crowd.

Because it was a special dinner for the Mowu Contest, Emperor Leiyou had to say some grandiose words.As if he had memorized it before, Emperor Lei You calmly finished the prefix.

Those who didn't have much contact with Emperor Leiyu would not feel much about it. On the contrary, Orff and Aslot felt a little weirdness from this 'Emperor Leiyu'.However, before they could sort out the weird emotions this time, Emperor Lei You had already started toasting with everyone.

After a while, De Feila gave 'Emperor Leiyu' a wink in secret.

Emperor Leiyou raised his eyelids, then turned his head to look at Aslot, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I remember I sent someone to ask you for a bottle of wine that can cure all diseases and delay aging. Did you know you brought it this time?"

Aslott quickly realized: "It has been prepared for His Majesty long ago." After speaking, he beckoned someone to bring the wine bottle.

This so-called wine that can cure all diseases and delay aging is actually the blessing of holy power injected into it by Master Guangming, and it is possible for a Master Guangming at the level of a great sage to perform this kind of service in this world, except for Emperor Leiyou. It is some special characters who can enjoy this kind of treatment.

A tangy fragrance made Emperor Lei You's eyes light up. He quickly reached out to take the wine glass, sniffed it, and his face was full of fascination.

The smell of the wine also attracted the surrounding crowd. In the eyes of everyone, Emperor Lei You drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.Aslott glanced at Orff's gloomy expression, with an obvious smug smile on his face, but before the smile on Aslott's face widened to the maximum, he was shattered by the falling wine glass .

Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Emperor Lei You, who had shown the appearance of extreme enjoyment just now, suddenly pinched his neck with his hands in extreme pain, his eyes were wide open, his face was ashen, and even on his forehead, he could see a series of ferocious bursts. blue veins.

"You, actually...poisoned!" Emperor Leiyou glared at Aslott who was stunned, and just yelled a few key broken syllables, then foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground convulsing all over his body.

"Come on!" Di Feila shouted angrily as if waking up from a dream, "Grab the Pope!"

As soon as the words fell, as if they had already prepared, a large number of guards and court mages surrounded him from all directions.

In the chaos of the crowd, one-third of the dozen or so red-clothed elders chose to remain silent, and two-thirds wanted to come up to help, but they had to deal with the rushing guards and court mages.Only the nearest three archbishops gathered around Aslott in a triangle. These three archbishops are usually higher than the first line of holy rank powerhouses. At this time, forming such a strong defense, even if it is human No matter how much it comes, it will never be broken.

It's a pity that they met a stronger opponent than them today!

The first to attack was a Robbs who was holding back, and with a full blow, he directly blasted away a bishop.Fujiko, who followed closely behind, wrapped his whip around the one next to him.As for the remaining bishop, Lothar, the same holy powerhouse, will naturally deal with it.

The scene was out of control for a while, and the screams and screams one after another broke the original harmony of the banquet.The three confidant archbishops were lured away one after another, and Aslott was stunned for a moment, and soon saw the clue.It's a pity that in this situation, he couldn't argue at all, and the other party obviously had the idea of ​​killing him, otherwise they wouldn't have been so well prepared.

Aslot just wanted to use the space scroll to escape from the scene, he was not stupid enough to deal with so many people by himself.It's just that Aslott obviously ignored a person, so that when he felt a sense of oppression approaching his face, the thing that he had been worrying about in the bottom of his heart finally happened...
