Empire of Shadows

Chapter 27: Why didn't God throw me into her bed!

Views:

After a flurry of activity on the city wall, as the soldiers understood the magic, things inside and outside the city gates became quiet. But at this moment, I found that several eyes were watching me. Although I didn't feel their hostility, I was still shocked. What happened? Did something go wrong with me? But I didn't do anything... Suddenly I knew where the problem was. It was because I didn't do anything. When the magic was cast, the guards on the entire city wall showed panic expressions, but I was the only one who didn't react at all under the magic. This was enough to make people realize that my behavior was different from that of ordinary people.

When I realized that the four giants of the reinforcements noticed me, I almost broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it, I was too smart. Now I don't know how to make up for it. Should I play dumb? This will definitely not fool those in high positions. If they conduct a field investigation on my background, I will not be able to stand the test...

When I was extremely anxious, because of Carsen and his men, the big men turned their eyes to Carsen and Caster. Only the guy in the red magic armor stared at me for a long time. Under his grimacing gaze, I almost fell to the ground in fear.

Fortunately, when his companions who came with him at the city gate introduced him to the main characters such as Carsent, he had to turn his eyes away and deal with it superficially, otherwise I really wanted to jump off the city wall behind him.

As soon as his eyes left me, I immediately went down from the city wall behind me. I didn’t want to stay in this damn place any longer. It felt too uncomfortable.

Back in the barracks, I hurriedly took a cold shower, and after calming down a little, I was ready to leave here to visit Shen Ruqiu. But many things are not something you can avoid just because you want to. Before I even left the room, I received a guard sent by the legion commander to pick me up for the banquet.

I attended this banquet held by the nobles of Caster City and the military and political leaders of the Eastern Region to welcome the commander of the legion coming to reinforce from the imperial capital. I don't know why Carsente pushed me out and even brought me directly to this banquet among the high-level officials.

I felt sick when I saw the ugly nobles and the equally ugly so-called ladies in the magnificent hall, who kept trying to attract the attention of the bigwigs in the imperial capital with lame and awkward compliments. Since I didn't have much clothes, I only had a few pieces of armor (armor is not something a guy like me with little physical strength can use, the weight alone is enough to scare me), and the best piece was the exquisite leather armor given by Carsente, which luckily became my "dress" today. Because of him, I was looked down upon by many people along the way...

While they were introducing themselves to each other, I found a corner where no one was paying attention and started to eat voraciously. After you guys have finished getting acquainted, I think I should be full and satisfied. Then I will go outside or to another hidden place to wait until you guys leave. Then I can follow Carsente and the others back to the barracks to avoid running into the three people who noticed me at the city gate, especially the guy in the red magic armor...

Very relaxed, I walked out of the hall with a wine glass in one hand and patted my stomach with satisfaction before they finished their chatter and politeness. It was great. Although I was reluctant to attend today's banquet, I have to say that the food and drinks were the most wonderful meal I have tried since I came to this world. Even on Earth, I rarely have the opportunity to enjoy such a feast.

Holding a cup by myself, watching the guests coming in and out, I thought that if I could successfully learn magic and then enjoy such delicious food for the rest of my life, then it would be worth it... Ah, no, it would be better if there was another beauty...

I stayed in that corner for a long time until the guests started to leave one after another. I knew the party was about to end. I threw the glass of wine in my hand away and got up to find Carsente. It would be better to go back with him. Not only would it be safer, but I would also have to endure less nasty looks from those snobbish guards at the door...

"Ah..." A woman screamed shrilly, making me think someone was abusing her. Damn, she seemed very close to me? Should I save her or ignore her? Forget it, none of the people here can be offended by a small person like me. I will be the only one who will be in trouble. Sorry, just pretend I didn't hear it...

But the reality was not what I expected. From where I heard the scream, which was roughly the direction where I threw the wine glass, a sudden whirlwind blew up, and in my stunned eyes, several trees and bonsai were suddenly swept into the air as if they were hit by a tornado... Damn, is that true? There is no need to make such a big noise when finding a place to do indecent assault, right? This piece of land can probably be cleared to open ******, Y is strong enough, I like it, but now I'd better get out of here quickly.

"Stop! You bastard..." Unfortunately, before I could leave, I just turned around and heard a female voice shouting behind me. Damn it, is it because I ruined your good thing? Then what were you yelling just now? You dare to yell but dare not let anyone get close to you... I never thought that I had provoked others.

As soon as I turned around, a gust of fragrant wind blew towards me and filled my olfactory organs. The pleasant fragrance was indeed extraordinary. A beautiful and pure face of about 28 years old came to me with a face full of anger. The oval face, small and delicate nose, charming eyes, thin and tightly closed mouth, made me have countless fantasies from the bottom of my heart, plus her skin as white as jade... God, I love you so much, this is a perfect match for me! How can I have such good luck to meet her? It almost made me crazy. I wonder if I am drooling now? Otherwise, I will be embarrassed in front of a beautiful woman...

"Asshole, how did you lose something? Is this what your family taught you? Apologize to me immediately, or you won't be able to leave here safely!"

The angry shout of the beauty woke me up from my reverie. Damn, what happened to me? I have seen beautiful women before. Although she is more beautiful than I have ever seen, I am not such an idiot, right? And she is the kind of person who is ready to have sex with others everywhere... Uh, what did she say just now? Losing something? Could it be... Could it be that my wine glass caused the trouble? I slowly looked at the beauty in front of me and saw that her shoulders were indeed a little wet. Could it be that this was really my fault... But after looking at her shoulders, my eyes flowed past her and I couldn't help looking down...
