No.20 Nine Demon Kings

"Master Anthony, please show your invitation letter."

Anthony raised his eyebrows. It's really rare that he couldn't enter the banquet with his face.

After sending his attendants back to get the invitations, Anthony stood by boredly, watching the guards check other people's invitations.

The few hairs on Paul's fat head have apparently lost a few more, so can't he just buy a bottle of hair restorer?And Andy, why did he button the wrong button again? It's so uncomfortable to watch as an obsessive-compulsive disorder!Colin has another lover next to him, hehe is still winking at me, I'm not interested in stallions...

Anthony, who attends dozens of banquets a year, feels bored watching a group of familiar faces slowly enter the venue, and even the desire to complain silently has dropped a lot.

Suddenly, he saw a face he had never seen before, and glanced twice.

Apparently, the guard also felt that the man was unfamiliar, and when he read his invitation letter, he was not as perfunctory as before.

"Sorry, this is an invitation letter from Daniel, Mayor of Grue."

"Lord Daniel passed away yesterday. I am Jeffrey Hess. I was originally the deputy mayor of Grue City. Due to a sudden incident, I temporarily acted as mayor and came to the banquet."

"I haven't been notified about it."

"The report on Lord Daniel's death was handed in yesterday, but I didn't get a response."

"please wait."

The guard called a member of the Royal Guard, whispered a few words, and the member ran in, while Geoffrey was sent aside to wait.

Jeffrey walked to Anthony very naturally, and greeted him kindly: "Good afternoon."

"..." Anthony glanced at him, his eyes paused for a moment on the rags that could barely be called a dress on him, and then turned his head away.

Jeffery was directly ignored, but he didn't show any embarrassment at all, and continued to talk: "The weather here is really hot, much hotter than Gelu City."

Nonsense, Gelu City is near the extremely frozen ice field, with an average annual temperature of about 10 degrees, is it comparable to Didu?

Anthony didn't even bother to pay attention to him, his eyes were fixed on the people queuing up to enter the arena.

In the crowd, the officials who had made mistakes in the economy were frightened by the eyes of a certain finance minister, for fear that he would suddenly point at himself and shout: "He is the one who made false accounts! Where is the Royal Guard? Hurry up and get it!" Down!"

However, Anthony, who had never checked the accounts seriously, just wanted to divert his attention.

The one who looks good and is wearing a military uniform is probably my father's adjutant. According to my father, this person has a very high IQ and a very low EQ. No wonder he came to the banquet wearing a military uniform. See, he was stopped... Huh?He convinced the guards?Just went in like this?

"I heard that the saint in the temple is very beautiful, I wonder if I can take a closer look..."

The nerdy one is Vincent, the household registration administrator of the temple... He is obviously not an important official, but he attends every banquet, and no one cares if he attends. I really don't know why the king invited him here... …

"I've seen pictures of the little prince on the Internet, he really looks like the king..."

What city's mayor is that over there?Looks like necrophilia, hey...

"Have you seen the robber Jack? I heard that he has been haunting the imperial capital for the past two days..."

Rowan is here...it's so slow.Heh, he pretended not to see me. Who said that he would be a good brother for a lifetime, but as soon as he saw the king, he stuck to it, white-eyed wolf...

……

Not long after, Rhine followed the Royal Guard member out.

Jeffrey returned to the gate in an instant: "The officer has seen General Rhine."

Rhine was expressionless: "Please show the invitation letter and ID."

Jeffrey began to dig into his pockets.

Anthony was not interested in what was going on there, and his attendant just came back with an invitation letter, and he entered the venue with ease.

After entering the arena, there was actually nothing to do. Anthony greeted the king, tried to stroke the little prince's hair but failed, and went to taste the dessert of the banquet.

Soon, everyone gathered, and the banquet began, and people gathered in threes and fives to talk.

Anthony, who has no interest in communication, wandered around the hall with little interest. After making sure that there were no people from the Demon King's camp to make trouble, he took the wine glass and found a vacant seat in the corner as if nothing had happened, and prepared to go to the Magic Network. kill time.

Just as Anthony, a teenager with internet addiction, was about to plug in the internet cable, he heard a gentle and low voice: "Sir, good afternoon."

Anthony's heart trembled suddenly, his eyelids were slightly lifted, and his gaze was raised——

——Royal Elf!

The royal elves, the most noble and proud family of elves, have lived in the capital of elves for generations, generally despise human beings, and regard human wars as a stain on human society (of course they don't know that human beings are not ashamed of this at all, but use it as a shame) Proud).

At this time, the most honorable and proud royal elf frowned: "Hello, I'm Newman, an elf. I'm new to the imperial capital, please give me some advice."

Anthony: "... hello."

Why do royal elves come here!

Also, where is your arrogance?

Newman realized Anthony's "cold" reaction, and apologized: "Is there something I did wrong? I'm sorry, I just came here, and I don't understand many things. If I offend you, please forgive me."

Anthony: "No, I don't—" Mind.

Before he finished speaking, Newman interrupted: "That's really sorry, I'd better leave first, and apologize again."

Anthony: I didn't fucking finish, I really don't mind...

Anthony saw him walking away quickly, so he simply didn't bother to explain.But... is that royal elf standing in the reporter area?He is a reporter?But what's the matter with reporters without cameras?

On the other side, Newman walked into the empty seat in another corner and whispered, "Good afternoon, sir."

The man raised his head and said with a smile: "Good afternoon, you are Newman, I'm Jeffrey Hess, you can call me Jeffrey."

This party is so boring.

Lilis, who was held by the king's hand the whole time, thought.

"The puppet is in the corner over there," said the ball, "shall we go and have a look?"

Lillis gave it a sideways look—you made the king let go.

However, there is no way the king will let a two-year-old child run around at the banquet.

So Yuanqiu had no choice but to investigate the situation by himself.

At this time, the saint came to ask for someone.

The saint, whose real name is Pandora, is the leader of the temple.After she came and said a bunch of plausible nonsense to the king, the king readily agreed to her.

promised her.

She agreed.

Up her.

she was.

.

Lilis: …………… what? !

King, do you really stop struggling?Did you really throw your child to that ugly monster so easily?

Pandora, whose appearance score is 100 out of 95, has no idea that the innocent-looking child in front of her is calling her ugly in her heart, and she is still happily joking with the king.

The King also looked happy to propose some "co-ops."

In the end, the two managed to reach some "consensus", and Pandora left happily.

Lilis looked at the king pitifully.

The king looked back at him tenderly.

Lilis: ......... Damn it's so beautiful, how can you break it if you can't even get angry?

The author has something to say:

The second is probably at one or two o'clock in the morning...?Cough cough, anyway, you will see it when you wake up tomorrow morning.
