Now that the protagonist of the banquet has arrived, the dinner party will naturally begin. Under the guidance of the palace attendants, everyone found their place at the round table.
More than a dozen palace attendants were busy shuttling back and forth, placing various delicacies on the dining table. Although this was just a small banquet for seven or eight people, Ryan looked at the sumptuous food on the table and thought in his heart: I am afraid that those who are attending the banquet will Even if there were twice as many people, we wouldn't be able to eat all these things. His Majesty the Emperor's life is so luxurious.
In addition, Ryan could clearly see that Fernando XIII was much more enthusiastic about Alando and Faras, saying a few words from time to time, and often joking with Victor and Faras.
This is exactly what Ryan wants. For him, he will not be in the limelight if he can, just like Alina, because she left too many impressions on others during the game. No, even His Majesty the Emperor knows this. It seems good, but it's actually not a good thing. Ryan doesn't do that kind of thing.
Since others don't care about him, it's time to have a big meal. This is the first time for Ryan, who was born as an Orion, to taste the food that can only be enjoyed by His Majesty the Emperor. Ryan even wanted to take some back for his father and mother to taste. Of course, this was not realistic, so Ryan just turned this idea around in his head and threw it behind him.
But after all, Ryan is not the kind of greedy guy. Although he kept eating in his mouth, he was still paying attention to the entire banquet in his heart. Everything the Emperor said to everyone was transmitted to Ryan's ears word for word. .
Suddenly His Majesty the Emperor's words caught Ryan's attention: "Alan Duo, the Druids have been living in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, not paying attention to worldly affairs. I feel it is a pity when I think about it. If we could form a Druid army, then We will definitely be able to better deal with the empire’s restless enemies.”
Ryan's heart moved and he thought: "It turns out that His Majesty's banquet is not in vain."
Ryan was thinking about something in his mind, and he didn't hear the following words of His Majesty the Emperor clearly. Ryan quickly focused his attention and heard Fernando XIII continue: "The Holy Knights are good at large legion operations. For example, this time Senate's rebellion and Orlando's counter-rebellion were a battle that could be written into military books. It's a pity. What's wrong is that when hunting down the fleeing Senat, the Holy Knights were restricted by their oaths and various other unfavorable factors, and were very passive. If the people chasing Senat were a team composed of druids, I believe Senat must be brought to justice.”
Obviously, Fernando XIII's words surprised Allendo. He originally thought that the young emperor would entertain him out of curiosity, but he did not expect that he had other ideas.
Since the beginning of the banquet, Fernando XIII has been praising Druid for how great his sacrifice was and how kind his heart was. Now he suddenly revealed his plan, hoping that through Allendo, he could form an army. The Druid army, which overwhelmed Alando.
At first glance, Fernando XIII's idea seems pretty good, but the situation of the Druid tribe is not as simple as he imagined. Besides, Allendo is just an ordinary transformed Druid in the tribe, and How can you make the decision instead of the Druid elder
It was absolutely impossible to agree on the spot; but to refuse immediately, Alando couldn't say it. He didn't know what to do, so he looked at Victor and then at Faras, hoping that they would come forward. Save yourself.
Victor was also a little surprised. Generally speaking, His Majesty the Emperor would discuss it with relevant personnel before formally proposing such an important matter. Unexpectedly, at this ordinary banquet, Fernando XIII suddenly brought up the matter of recruiting a Druid army.
Not to mention issues such as whether military expenditures have passed through the empire's financial budget, no one knows anything about the situation of the Druid. It is indeed inappropriate for His Majesty to propose it so presumptuously. If things don't succeed, On the contrary, His Majesty's prestige will be lost.
Seeing Allendo's face, Victor secretly groaned inwardly. He knew that although Fernando XIII was young, he always spoke the truth and acted resolutely. It would be very difficult if he got angry because Allendo rejected his proposal. .
So Victor coughed slightly and whispered to Fernando XIII: "Your Majesty, your idea is very good. But as far as I know, there is a reason why the Druid lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Now Alando is here , you might as well listen to what he has to say.”
Fernando XIII turned to look at Victor, and then looked at Allendo with expectant eyes.
Allendo didn't feel confident at all. He followed Ryan's usual behavior, scratched his head, carefully thought about the words in his heart, and then slowly said to Fernando XIII: "Your Majesty, it's not that the Druid is unwilling. Contribute to the empire, but the druids themselves cannot form a large-scale legion."
"Oh?" Allendo's words aroused the interest of everyone present. Even Ryan, who has known Allendo for the longest time, heard this for the first time.
Allendo cleared his throat and said to Fernando XIII: "The power of nature that we Druids believe in, the goddess of nature is our supreme belief, and she has given us infinite power. When fighting evil, We can use the power of birds and animals, for example, I used the power of the wind wolf."
Having said this, everyone nodded in unison.
Allendo saw Fernando XIII also nodded, and felt a lot more confident. He continued: "But this power does not belong to us. In order to gain greater power, we have to work with these birds and beasts. , to feel the source of that power. This is the reason why druids have always lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Moreover, birds and animals are natural enemies of each other, so even among us druids, many of us have little contact. Your Majesty, you I have seen that a hundred wolves can fight bravely under the leadership of one wolf, but who has ever heard that a hundred different beasts can fight together without any grudges? I'm afraid that they themselves have already fought without seeing the enemy. The fight started first."
"So that's it." Fernando XIII showed a look of disappointment on his face, but he was not going to give up yet, and asked again: "So, Alando. Among the druids, there are some people like you who use the power of the wind wolf. how much?"
Allendo shrugged his shoulders and said: "Druids are just a collective name for us. In fact, we are also divided into many large and small tribes. When encountering the situation two hundred years ago, we druids will naturally unite. , recommend three great elders to unified command, and usually," Allendo looked at Fernando XIII helplessly and said: "Usually we live in seclusion in separate areas, so I don't know how many people like this in the entire Druid tribe. I am a wind wolf transformation like this. The tribe I belong to is not very big, there are less than a hundred people who can skillfully use transformation, and most of them usually live in seclusion in inaccessible places and are unwilling to come out and move around."
Fernando XIII thought for a while and asked again: "Then why did you come out, Allendo?"
Seeing that his previous explanations had been passed, Allen was relieved. When he heard Fernando XIII's question again, he said without thinking: "That's because I just gained the ability to transform and became an official druid. . Elder Black Bear only asked me to come out for the trial. Every druid will undergo this trial. It was a coincidence that I joined Farasi's Leisi team. Otherwise, I might now Still walking alone in the wild."
