After listening to Allendo's words, Fernando XIII showed a very disappointed expression on his face, but this expression quickly disappeared and was replaced by a look of joy.
Fernando XIII picked up the silver wine glass and said to Allendo: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's drink to the victory of Team Leis!"
Following Fernando XIII's words, everyone picked up the wine glasses in front of them and drank them all in one gulp. The banquet returned to the lively scene before.
Fernando XIII still talked to Farasi and Allendo from time to time, and even made a little joke with Victor from time to time. Allendo forced a smile to deal with it, while Farasi was more adaptable to this kind of occasion. Not only was he able to cope with it with ease, but he was also able to take care of the other members of the Leisi team, so that everyone would not feel like they were just a foil at the banquet.
Time passed slowly at the dining table, and Ryan suddenly felt a little irritable. But even if he didn't want to, he could only sit there obediently. After all, this was a banquet held by the supreme ruler of a huge empire with tens of millions of people.
Ryan looked around the entire restaurant boredly. The self-portrait of Fernando I on the wall attracted his attention. In that portrait, the young Byrd, who later established the Holy Alliance Empire and became the first emperor of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor Fernando I was standing on the high city wall looking into the distance. Behind him was the rising sun, bursting with scorching light.
According to what Faras just explained, this painting was added later by Fernando I. The content of the painting took place when the undead army swept across the mainland and a large number of refugees were forced to flee to Sunrise City. Sunrise City is a huge deep-water port in the north, echoing Seawind City in the south. It is said that Fernando I was a little hesitant at the time. After all, the number of the undead army exceeded ten million, and the army he directly commanded was only seventy or eighty thousand.
Just as he was standing on the city wall of Sunrise City, watching the fleeing crowd pouring into the city gate, and thinking about this problem, the rising sun slowly rose from the sea, and the rays of light enveloped the earth. At that moment, Fernando I made up his mind to fight the undead army to the death!
So, he sent the best messengers and sent a similar letter to other cities on the mainland that had not yet fallen. In the letter, Fernando I pointed out that the catastrophe faced by mankind was inevitable, and the expansion of the undead army was closely linked to Human survival is contradictory. Every day that passes, the area controlled by the undead army expands, the more undead warriors they create, and the hope of human survival decreases. Only when everyone unites and engages in a life-and-death battle can we win.
With the unremitting efforts of Fernando I, he not only obtained the support of the surviving human armies, but also successfully obtained the support of the dwarves and elves with the help of the archmage Meren, forming a holy alliance to jointly fight against the undead army.
In the end, in the decisive battle of Sunrise City, the Druid Mountain Eagle and three other great elders released the forbidden curse "Oasis of Life" at the cost of their own lives. Within the scope of this forbidden curse, everything was full of life. The Archmage Meren took this opportunity to fight against the second leader of the undead army, the demigod Lich Cons, and finally used magic to banish it to another world.
After Kangs was exiled, a huge loophole appeared in the command system of the Undead Army. As the commander of the Undead Army, the Lich lost control of the Undead Warriors under the double blow of the forbidden curse "Oasis of Life" and the loss of its leader. Bird-Fernando seized the opportunity, and together with the dwarf king Rennos-Bloodaxe and the elf saint Sophia-Moonshadow, they led the Holy Knight Legion into the center of the Undead Legion, and surrounded and killed the leader of the Undead Legion, the evil demon Aleister. .
Afterwards, Fernando I recalled the scene at that time and said with emotion: "At that critical moment for mankind, the gods of light gave me the courage to fight to the end." Hence this painting called "Light" self-portrait.
This self-portrait titled "Light" successfully depicts the moment when sunlight covers the earth vividly. The use of sunlight represents the brilliance of the gods of light, which has a profound meaning.
Ryan was watching Qi Jin when he suddenly felt someone tugging on his clothes. He quickly turned his head and looked around, only to hear Red whisper in his ear: "Faras is calling you."
Ryan immediately turned his head to look at Faras, only to see Faras frowning slightly and looking at him slightly unhappily. Ryan quickly made an apologetic look, thinking that it was indeed wrong for him to be distracted at His Majesty the Emperor's banquet.
Seeing Ryan apologizing to her, Farasi's face improved a little. She guessed that Ryan must not have heard what she just said, so she said again: "Lyan, His Majesty just asked about the time when you and Allen met. , how did you feel when you saw Allen's transformation for the first time?"
Ryan calmed down and replied: "At that time, I was really surprised when I saw the wind wolf transformed by Allendo walking on two legs, but Allendo quickly greeted me in human language and transformed back into At that time, I was full of curiosity. After all, before this, my impression of the druid only existed in the specious descriptions in the story."
Fernando XIII nodded slightly. Although not many people dared to be distracted in front of him, Ryan came to a remote mountain village in the west of the empire. I believe he had not received any training in aristocratic etiquette, let alone his etiquette teacher. I have been telling myself that as the ruler of a powerful empire, I must be broad-minded and not always get angry for the slightest disrespect from others. This is also the most important thing for an emperor. An emperor who has no tolerance cannot tolerate others. He is an outstanding monarch. Therefore, Fernando XIII did not take Ryan's distraction to heart. He immediately changed the topic and continued talking with Faras and the others.
Ryan didn't think there was anything wrong. Looking at the situation in front of him, it was obvious that he was a supporting role, but he didn't expect that as a foil, His Majesty the Emperor would actually ask himself questions. At this moment, Red whispered in Ryan's ear: "You are really brave. Didn't you see that Oz and I are well-behaved? Even Alina, who is usually careless, is also cautious. You How dare you get distracted."
Ryan turned his head and looked at Reid with innocent eyes. He also whispered: "Who knew that His Majesty would suddenly ask me questions?"
Red shrugged his shoulders and said to Ryan in a very low voice: "You are finished, just wait until you go back and be beaten by Faras. It was obviously Faras who saw that His Majesty did not value you, so he specially found the opportunity to bring up the topic. When it comes to you, you screw it up.”
Ryan shook his head helplessly. He had no choice but to cheer up, raise his ears sharply, and listen carefully to the conversation between His Majesty the Emperor and Faras, lest such an embarrassing situation happen again.
However, Ryan waited until the banquet was over and nothing happened again.
When Ryan walked out of the palace and got on his carriage, he let out a long breath. It was finally over. Why was he here to attend a banquet? Ryan thought of the first mercenary mission he completed. When he was alone He was so tired when he was lurking on the branches, concentrating on looking for opportunities to sneak attack on the wolves.
"Next time I would rather face a pack of wolves alone than come to such a banquet!" Ryan couldn't help but maliciously speculate in his heart. "Hey, could it be said that His Majesty the Emperor is more terrifying than a pack of wolves?"
