Lord of Lowland

Chapter 37 Dinner
At dusk, Ofelina's carriage slowly drove out of the Earl's Mansion. Ofelina was sitting in the carriage, and Cecil sat opposite her as a personal entourage. Ofelina had already changed into She wore a white dress, a sparkling diamond necklace was hung on her smooth and tender neck, and the ornaments on her head looked expensive and elegant, and her whole body looked noble, generous and extraordinary.

Cecil really wanted to ask where he was going to attend the dinner tonight, but considering that he was a retinue knight, it was best not to ask such questions casually about his host.Unexpectedly, Ofelina said: "Our banquet tonight is in the palace."

palace!Cecil never expected that he would have the opportunity to enter the palace so soon. The palace of the Kingdom of Soloran or the palace of any country was just the object of the player's sex before Cecil crossed, and he had no chance to enter.I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to enter the royal palace after transmigrating into a waste for half a year. Cecil was a little excited when he thought about it.

"Does such a banquet often be held in the palace?" Cecil asked.

"Small-scale gatherings are often held in the palace, but the scope of such gatherings is extremely small, limited to a few families closely related to the royal family. Today is different. It is a large-scale ball. Young people with titles above earl almost All participants." Ofelina said while closing her eyes and resting her mind. "

"The scale is so big? Does the royal family have any grand celebrations or grand happy events to celebrate?" Cecil asked. Generally speaking, the royal family really rarely hold such a large banquet, and this is not the time of year. There should be some special reason for such a large-scale gathering of nobles.

"In order to welcome distinguished guests from other countries." Ofelina said.

"A distinguished guest from another country? Is there someone from the Ailuk Empire?" Cecil asked.

"Not only the third princess of the Eluk Empire, but also the fourth prince of the Elaya Kingdom and the third prince of the Hawata Kingdom are here. Basically, several princes and princesses of the kingdom will be present tonight, which is rare for several years. It's a great scene." Ofelina suddenly opened her eyes and said to Cecil with a smile.

Cecil couldn't help but take a breath. There are so many important people here. Such a person came to the Kingdom of Sololand with great fanfare. They definitely didn't come with only three or five servants. They must have brought a large-scale Mission, so what is the purpose of these people at this time?Cecil suddenly remembered something and said, "Could it be that something is going to happen at the Devil's Gate?"

Ofelina took a look at Cecil: "You are quite smart, yes, these princes and princesses are likely to come here for the Devil's Gate, and the four countries may soon have a close relationship with the Devil's Gate." There is a big move."

Cecil's heart tightened suddenly. It seemed that there would be a big battle to be fought. There are five human countries in the Lowvalan Continent. The northwest, the northeast of the Kingdom of Elaya and the southeast of the Kingdom of Hawata are bordered together. The above-mentioned borders of the four countries are put together like the corners of a square, as the center point of the dividing line It is this eternal demon gate.

Of course, this demon gate is actually older than three of these four countries. The reason why the borders of the countries are now has a lot to do with this demon gate, because such a sky-high With the existence of giant pillars, it is also difficult for the human kingdom to cross the demon gate and develop into other human countries. The abyss beyond the demon gate has 999 layers of endless land, and there are countless powerful demon creatures in it.Fortunately, the abyss itself is a huge battlefield for internal fighting, otherwise the ground world would be shattered in minutes.

Although the Devil's Gate can only transmit some small warlords in the abyss, after hundreds of thousands of years of growth, the Demon's Gate's sphere of influence has spread to several surrounding provinces, and parts of several provinces have been covered by the Devil's Gate. The demons that came out of the gate occupied it and became a deserted and uninhabited area. In order to solve the problem of the demon gate, the four human countries established the Holy Alliance 50 years ago.Send troops together to contain the forces of the Devil Alliance on the current front, and build a defensive position that takes care of everything.As a result, the territory of several provinces close to the Devil's Gate became a vast battlefield filled with gunpowder, and tens of thousands of people died every year.

So this time, it is estimated that the four countries no longer want to endure this endless consumption, and want to solve the problem once and for all, but the devil's gate is such a huge space debris, even the gods will be very troubled, how to do it , Cecil is really a little hard to imagine

But what is certain is that the high-level leaders of the four countries are already considering this issue. According to Ou Feilina, the princes and princesses this time are just leading figures on the bright side, and many high-level people who came with the group The aides are the real powerful figures, and even many temple priests have followed here. If the high priests and high priests of the temples in several countries implement the divine descent, they may invite the gods to come down.Maybe even join forces with Cabrada.
Cecil was beating his heart. This is an unprecedented war. If it happens, it will definitely be an epic battle. I don’t know if I will be lucky enough to participate in this war and make great achievements. If he has made meritorious service, then he will have no problem becoming a nobleman like a baron.

When Cecil was thinking about his own thoughts, the carriage had already driven into the palace slowly, and stopped under a square. Cecil himself jumped out of the carriage first, and then greeted Ophelina. It is an extremely open square, surrounded by many expensive carriages, and the relevant personnel working in the palace are nervously arranging the docking of these carriages, while the nobles who have already got off the carriages are walking towards the hall in front of the square.

Ofelina quickly greeted some noble girls who were walking towards the hall. It seemed that Ofelina was familiar with these people, and Cecil and the followers of these noble girls could only move slowly. Follow behind and be on guard.

After entering the main hall, Ofilina and the others went to the restaurant. Cecil looked at the entire main hall. The main hall was as big as several football fields and was divided into two floors. From an architectural point of view, the second floor was probably As for the theater, there are some VIP private rooms, and the first floor is divided into several parts such as theater, restaurant, dance hall, etc. It is even said that there is a large-scale arena under this hall.Of course, Cecil has never seen the truth.

After entering the restaurant, there are already hundreds of noble children standing inside. The men are graceful and the women are noble and elegant. It is really a heart-warming multi-angle picture scroll.Everyone slowly took their seats, all kinds of silver tableware had been placed on the marble table, the waiters lined up to serve the meal, all kinds of delicacies made people mouth watering, the best meal Cecil had since time travel should be It was the lunch at Count Kasikund's house, but it was nothing compared to the meal in the palace today.

Sitting at the head of the dining room was the king's nephew, Earl Barnett. He was the eldest son of the king's younger brother, the Duke of Atwood, and he was bound to inherit his father's title in the future. Like Sandro, he is an enlightener, a hidden professional divine knight of the Temple of Dawn, and Cecil already has the strength of level 8 from the panel.Today he is obviously the leader of these young people. After speaking some official words before the meal, he announced the start of the meal.

Although the food here is all very tempting and delicious, the young people eating there are all very polite. As expected, self-cultivation is more important to the nobles than their stomachs. It seems that they are not interested in the table full of delicious food. Such a waste of natural resources made Cecil feel distressed. Unfortunately, as a bodyguard, he didn't even have a place to sit, let alone eat. He could only stand behind Ophelia's chair, holding the sword with both hands in a knight's posture, and even raised his eyes. You can't even squint, it's really a painful job.

After finally finishing the meal, the evening activities officially started. The nobles and ladies all went to the ballroom to dance. On the way to dance, Cecil, the nobles and the ladies chatted together. Walking to the ball, Cecil could only follow a group of accompanying knights to the ballroom. Cecil took the opportunity to look at the surrounding knights. Almost everyone is a professional from the temple, and their strength is at least Level 5 and above, a level like him is already weak among this group of people, and there are still a few of them who are actually holy ranks.If the holy order can be accompanied by a knight to do this kind of thing, then the master should be at least a big man of the duke level.

Cecil also saw retinue knights from other countries with completely different costumes. They must be the retinue of the young nobles who came to participate in the Aluk Empire and other countries, but Cecil did not see those legends The princes and princesses in the movie, compared to these people, have a high self-esteem and don’t want to be with ordinary nobles, and the princes and princesses of the Soloran Kingdom did not appear, presumably they are accompanying them.

When Cecil was taking this opportunity to look around in large numbers, he had an instinctive intuition that one eye was watching him. Following the gaze he felt, he found a long-haired girl in a white evening dress looking at him. Cecil It was strange in my heart, and after a closer look, this person turned out to be Annie.

Cecil was taken aback. She was used to her tomboy attire. When she saw this banquet suit, she was a little confused. He also took off the hood when he was pretending to be a boy. Cecil really didn't think of her as a normal tomboy. Annie is so beautiful at this time, she is not inferior to these noble ladies.Anne was very happy to see him and made a face at her, while Cecil waved his hand quietly to Anne in greeting.
