Chapter 22 Welcome Banquet

Dark Blue Star, the city of Meredith, which is always shrouded in thick fog.

Of course, the social salons of nobles and officials would not be in the same place as those indulgent entertainment venues. The life circle of the upper class and the power center of the kingdom are all in a safe and quiet surface city.

The entire Deep Blue Kingdom respects lost civilizations, and only commoners buy modern clothes according to the popular fashion magazines of the Moby Dick galaxy. If a nobleman in the Deep Blue Kingdom is not wearing a beautifully tailored retro dress, then his title must be fake.

People who occupy the country's ruling class wear exaggerated wavy skirts, or layers of fluffy ruffled waist skirts, stand in magnificent and gorgeous buildings, and talk about war and poverty in a disdainful tone.

This kind of sight can stun any diplomat who just arrived at Deep Blue Star.

The guy who was lucky enough to survive ten years until he retired wrote a memoir describing the charm of Meredith City.

"It's quiet and graceful, but that's just the appearance. If you walk in the fog-shrouded urban area, you can only feel the lost civilization brought about by the miracle of time. Once you are allowed to enter the interior of the building, the luxurious and charming atmosphere immediately hits your face.

All the imaginable and unimaginable gorgeous decorations are all over every area. They are not complicated, often just one or two lines with unique shapes, which can be drawn lightly around the corner of the table or the railing to create a unique charm.

If you try to walk along the stairs, you may find hundreds of different ivy carvings. This is a place full of whimsy, and even the details of the building are not exactly the same.

It is heaven and it is hell at the same time. "

The upper-class people of Deep Blue Star will only laugh when they read this kind of book, but recently, they agree with the last sentence.The atmosphere in the entire Meredith City was very depressing.

Two months ago, Prime Minister Cyrus vomited blood and fainted in Parliament.

From then on, their life was like a disturbed sea. No one knew how many people with ulterior motives were hidden under the turbulent water, and the air of Deep Blue Star became a little dignified.

Diplomats from various countries complained even more. They usually have a difficult life, but now the level of monitoring has increased several times.

An elderly ambassador suffered seven heart attacks in one month due to excessive stress.Everyone took more sedatives than food, and they were so trembling that they didn't even dare to cast their eyes in the wrong place. Who knows if they will be judged as abnormal behavior and immediately "eradicated" by the mysterious Deep Blue Star intelligence department?

In such a bad time, good news finally came, and the closely guarded embassy area had a fair reason to hold a party.

——The new diplomat of the First Republic of the White Whale Galaxy takes office.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to relax, diplomats holding crystal glasses whispered about the new hapless guy.

"Major Zhang Sen, ah no, after taking over the post of military attache of the embassy, ​​it should be Colonel Zhang Sen—I heard that he met the notorious blood skull pirates on the road! He even became a prisoner!"

"Oh my god! Are interstellar pirates so rampant now?"

"Hey, didn't the diplomatic envoys sent to Deep Blue Star all die, no one wants to escort them, it's unlucky! As a result, poor Colonel Zhang Sen met pirates who deviated from the range of robbery on the road, and it's not good. Is it a tragedy?"

Everyone felt sympathetic and kept sighing.

"Fortunately, those pirates obeyed professional ethics and robbed 5.00%. Although they took away the money and dismantled and reinstalled the poor colonel's spaceship, they returned the identity documents, diplomatic letters, etc. completely, and released Zhang. Sen and his entourage." A chubby ambassador raised his glass and shook his head and said, "To the bad luck of Colonel Zhang Sen! Those pirates who deserved to go to hell smashed the navigator and The joystick, Colonel Zhang Sen's last chance to escape from bad luck is gone, he arrived at Deep Blue Star with the spaceship yesterday."

"It's too unfortunate, how could the pirates do this?" Everyone condemned seriously, as if imagining themselves as Zhang Sen.

"Quiet!" An old man who looked very prestigious said tremblingly, "This should be a coincidence, you know, those pirates who claim to have professional ethics always do this, forcing the victim to tell the destination, and then locate the route Destroy the instrument, they release the victim, but they will not give others the chance to return halfway to revenge!"

The diplomats immediately murmured about Zhang Sen's misfortune in their own languages, and hoped that Zhang Sen was a born unlucky guy and could take away some of his bad luck.

"I heard that the most pitiful is not Colonel Zhang Sen, but his entourage."

Life is too tense and there is too much pressure that every diplomat is very interested in gossip.

"Yeah, after that attendant got off the spaceship, he asked 'what, this is the Deep Blue Star' on the spot, as if he was seriously frightened! It seems that he didn't even know his own tragic fate! Tsk tsk."

This made the ambassadors of several small countries feel embarrassed, because they only realized that they were not playing with public funds, but were secretly escorted to the post after they arrived at Deep Blue Star.

So the topic of gossip changed, and everyone went to chat and talk. After all, the situation was tense, and it was unknown how many people would be alive at the next gathering.

The venue for this banquet is the atrium of the Morvian embassy. The ground is covered with pebbles, and there is a clear small pool in the middle. On both sides are corridors covered with vines and wildflowers. The whole is very open, and you can also find it behind the dense branches and leaves. Secret talking point.

At this moment, on the corner of a flower bed covered with cosmos, a silver-white robot that looks no different from an ordinary cleaning robot drags a trash can and rolls into the shadow of the corner.

Then, the robot looked left and right, and took out a plate of steaming bacon and mushroom rolls from the trash can.

"Eat it quickly, I just stole it."

Wen Luan got up from the corner feebly, a "diplomat attendant" like him was not qualified to attend the banquet.

That's right, Wen Luan almost fainted when he got off the spaceship and found himself back at the port of Deep Blue Star. Unfortunately, he didn't find the second Jim when he looked around. Wen Luan agreed to serve as a diplomat's entourage, mixing up a temporary identity.

"Master, we need to be careful!" Xier held the plate and watched Wen Luan eat.

"Of course, if the Deep Blue Kingdom finds out that their high-tech mechs have turned into cleaning robots, I can't imagine what that mad scientist Cyrus will do..." Wen Luan said vaguely. He took a bite of the mushroom and found that it was not an ancient The earth variety, especially crispy, tender and delicious, immediately took over the whole plate.

"Strange, how long has it been since I ate?" Wen Luan thought deeply, as if the last meal was the salted dried fish that he ate with Caesar, he rubbed his stomach, wondering why he wasn't hungry at all.

Shier immediately poked the bottom of the dish with a vacuum cleaner.

Wen Luan almost dropped the plate and called out, "What are you doing?"

Shier said solemnly: "Master, shouldn't we discuss escaping from version 2.0 of the Deep Blue Star Plan now?"

"The success of the last time cannot be replicated." Wen Luan said angrily, "You have been missing for so long, how could Deep Blue Star be unprepared? And this damn diplomat's entourage! Seer, why didn't you remind me , diplomat is a high-risk occupation for Deep Blue Star?"

Like Zhang Sen, when he arrived at the embassy, ​​he immediately got a copy of "Diplomat's Deep Blue Star Survival Guide". After studying for one night, Wen Luan wished to turn back time, and declared at the port that he was a pirate prisoner who also escaped, and asked to be deported immediately !

How could he step into this pit of fire just because he was greedy for "diplomatic immunity from inspection" and feared that Deep Blue Star would pursue the crime of "abducting mechas"!Wen Luan regretted it too much.

"I didn't copy these materials last time." Shier said heavily, "I don't know that diplomats are consumables of the Deep Blue Star." .

"Stop it!" Wen Luan hugged his head in pain.

"The most likely plan at present is to feign death and escape." Shier said solemnly, "Although the diplomatic personnel of embassies in various countries are in danger, they are not imprisoned in name. With their diplomatic ID cards, they can join the dungeon entertainment."

"what do you mean--"

Wen Luan is very good at drawing inferences from one instance to another. He held a plate, his eyes lit up, "You help me create an accident, and then I throw away my clothes and shoes at the scene, pretending to be another missing diplomatic staff."

"That's right, master!"

The cleaning robot slides its wheels, thinking happily, how nice it is to have a master whose IQ is not below the standard value.

Wen Luan ate grilled mushrooms while thinking deeply: "But there must be a lot of people monitoring the embassy. It's easy for me to sneak out, but it's difficult to get out safely, or to cheat death without arousing the suspicion of Deep Blue Star."

He still remembered that the stone pillars of the buildings in the whole city were city defense systems.

With so many visitors from outside the dungeon, how could there be no intensive monitoring network.

"Don't worry, master!" Shier's mechanical voice showed a hint of complacency, "In fact, I just completed the upgrade. The deep blue star city defense system Andumari is not my opponent at all! I will help the master find an opportunity."

Wen Luan was stunned, and then said to himself: "I actually heard the good news, I'm really touched!"

Wen Luan, who was tortured by fate, had no time to seriously discuss the plan with Shier, when he heard a loud voice from the atrium.

"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the welcome reception hosted by the Republic of Moldia for the newly inaugurated Colonel Zhang Sen! Let us wish him good luck!"

Amidst the applause, Zhang Sen walked over with a stiff face and began to read his inaugural speech, which of course was all cliche and nonsense.

"May God bless him." Wen Luan muttered, and was about to shrink back, but then he found that the host standing on the atrium steps was very strange.

Among the people in gorgeous clothes, this guy was the only one dressed inappropriately, with a very novel hat with a bright feather in it, and the scarf around his neck also had delicate jacquard edges.But there were two holes in the boots on his feet, all the buttons of his coat were misplaced, and there were even oil stains on the cuffs and knees.

The hair under the hat was messed up, his eyes were scattered, and he stood there trembling like an epileptic.

The well-dressed gentlemen and ladies around turned a blind eye to this guy and did not show any dissatisfaction.

"Who is that?" Wen Luan asked curiously.

Two blue light electronic eyes protruded from the cylindrical body of the cleaning robot, and scanned the host: "Mitchell, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Deep Blue Kingdom."

Wen Luan choked on the mushroom, he pointed at the host - just this guy or the Minister of Foreign Affairs?The dark blue kingdom is about to end, calling this kind of guy who looks mentally ill at first glance?

"Be careful." Shier said nervously, "This guy belongs to the ruling party and came from a research institute, you know!"

Oh, fellow Cyrus.

Wait, doesn't that mean—

"Is he your producer?"

"One of the creators, just one of them." Shier rolled his blue electronic eyes and whispered, "There is reliable information that Mitchell suffers from severe schizophrenia, so we should be able to get past it, he found No."

"..."

With a mad scientist + a ruling party with severe mental illness, it is a miracle that the Deep Blue Kingdom did not perish!

Wen Luan retreated into the corner, wiping his sweat and thinking.

The author has something to say: the overall architecture of the dark blue star, the clothes of the upper class...

All settings are "Baroque style". The building uses statues as pillars, curved buildings, asymmetrical details, and gorgeous and exquisite decorations. For clothes, pay attention to the waist [Drool]. With enthusiasm, and "fantasy"
