In the evening, Lin Shuo took the two wives and all the inheritance hunters on the An Lan to get off the ship for a banquet.
The An Lan is no longer at sea. Bandar Seri Begawan, since it is called a bay, it deserves its name.
The so-called "bay" refers to the place where the river bends, and also refers to the place where the coast is sunken into the land and it is convenient for boats to stop.
Bandar Seri Begawan is a safe haven with a unique terrain. It is shaped like a funnel. When the boat is driving, there are land on both sides.
The water area became narrower and narrower, and finally it was discovered that the mooring pier was not the coast, but the river bank.
Standing on the side of the ship, the Nuloiman Palace can be seen in the distance, not far away.
Although Brunei is not a big country, only more than 5,000 square kilometers, the residence of the Sultan of Brunei, the Nuroiman Palace, is the largest palace in the world, with more than 1,700 rooms.
Brunei is a country with crude oil and natural gas as its main economic pillar. Its oil reserves and production are second only to Indonesia in Southeast Asia. Selling resources is very popular.
The country itself is very small, with a population of only about 400,000, and it is also a religious country with an autocratic monarchy. Its nature is similar to those of the rich countries in the Middle East, and the royal family is particularly rich.
In terms of the wealth ranking of the royal family, the Brunei royal family ranks first in the world, much richer than Dylan's natal Nordic royal family.
The current Sultan of Brunei is an old king. He has been on the throne for more than 40 years and has a fleet of 604 Rolls-Royce cars in his hand. He is the largest customer of the car brand Rolls-Royce.
In addition, the old king has more than 20 private jets, one of which is a Boeing 727, and even the toilet in the toilet is gold-plated.
The rich belong to the rich, the old king's country is still well governed, and the country is generally peaceful and the people are safe.
It's a pity that there is a younger brother who embezzles state-owned assets. The prince who is the Minister of Finance has obviously gone too far and caused great resentment among the people.
In September last year, the old king was still on a state visit abroad. As soon as the seven-color muntjac appeared on the outskirts of Bandar Seri Begawan, many people died in the capital within three days.
In a few days, the warlord Alezzo led his army into the city and seized the state power.
The old king became the head of the government in exile overseas in a daze, and he dared not return home.
Fortunately, if you are rich, you can't become a king, but it's okay to be a rich and prosperous man in his later years.
Although overseas assets are still in the hands of the old king, this is not the big head.
The bulk of the wealth of the Brunei royal family is the assets left in the country, all of which fell into the pockets of Arezzo.
Among them is the largest palace in the world, and the convoy of 604 Rolls-Royces.
This evening, it was this convoy that came to pick up Lin Shuo and his party at the pier on the river bank.
It was the first time Lin Shuo saw that he could pick up people like this.
There are more cars than people.
There are nine people in my group.
Lin Shuo and his wife, plus Miao Guangqi, Miao Xueping, Miao Chengyun, Chu Hongyi, Zhang Jin, and Jin Wenlan.
On the pier, there was a convoy to pick up the nine people. I don't know if it was a communication error or Alezzo sent fifty cars to show off.
Fifty pure black Rolls-Royces were placed on the small yacht dock, which was a vast expanse.
But this time the convoy picked up people, from evening to dark, Lin Shuo and his party were still trapped on the pier.
Because the car is good, but the former ceremonial drivers died half a year ago, and now the drivers are all soldiers in Alezzo's men, regardless of the neat suits.
It may be the same for this group of big soldiers to drive a military jeep, but it is not acceptable to drive a Rolls-Royce, the work is too rough.
At the exit of the pier, several empty cars got stuck together, and the drivers were getting out of the cars to fight, blocking the road.
Finally, the driver of Lin Shuo's car became anxious.
This Indonesian guy spoke pretty good English, and he was able to chat with Lin Shuo a little bit.
He was said to be a captain, more or less an official, and when he saw the traffic ahead, he got impatient, drew his pistol and got out of the car.
The two drivers who were fighting were shot dead, and the road was slowly cleared.
At last, at any rate, the palace arrived.
It took more than two hours for the two or three kilometers of road.
Lin Shuo and his group are the only ones who have abilities and have seen it before. If they were normal people, they would be able to get out of the feeling of reincarnation.
When they arrived, the group got out of the car one after another.
It was completely dark at this time, but there were floor lamps on, which did not hinder the impression of the Nuloiman Palace.
This is a square, white-walled and golden-roofed building complex.
The golden dome in the middle picks out a sharp point, and the Islamic style is extremely strong.
The largest royal palace in the world is now the official residence of Arezzo.
After such an incident, Lin Shuo looked at the grand and magnificent palace in front of him again, and couldn't help feeling absurd in his heart.
Soon a steward in his forties came out and introduced himself in fluent English, which seemed to mean that he was the new chief steward of the palace.
Lin Shuo looked at him and found that he had no cultivation and was just an ordinary person.
Led by the big butler, nine of Lin Shuo entered the palace and walked around for five or six minutes before reaching the place where the state banquet was held before.
Looking at the area of the lobby, it is more than enough to place a hundred tables. Looking from the entrance, the main table against the inner wall is the farthest, with a distance of 40 to 50 meters.
At this distance, people can't easily see their faces clearly.
But appearance is not important at this time, because to recognize who is Alezzo, it is not necessary to look at the appearance, but to look at the figure.
Lin Hechun had told Lin Shuo before that Alezzo was fat.
In Lin Shuo's impression, the fat man was just like Fourth Uncle Cao. He was fat in middle age, and his stomach looked like he was wearing a swimming ring, so it was almost the same.
But now the person in the distance is obviously the fattest among fat people, and Fourth Uncle Cao is considered slim compared to him.
Lin Shuo and his group came in, and this person also stood up.
At this distance, Lin Shuo felt that this person was flat at first glance.
Take a closer look and see clearly.
Dark-skinned, with tea-colored glasses on his face, and a bushy beard above his lips.
The fat man was wearing a light brown military uniform covered with various ribbons and medals, many of which were inlaid with diamonds, reflecting the light under the large chandelier in the banquet hall today.
However, these were just appearances. Lin Shuo, who had already realized his spirit, saw that this man was full of fat, but he had a superb cultivation.
The Qi and blood in this person's whole body are extremely strong, and his aura is so magnificent that he can almost be regarded as equal to himself.
I really didn't expect that there were such people in Borneo.
That being the case, Wei Xingshan's previous guesses were all nonsense.
People in the practice circle, if the standard is low, it's fine, but the cultivation base has reached the level of Alezzo, and it doesn't come out of thin air.
Thinking about it for myself, no matter how good the talent is, it can't be trained to this level. It must be taught by a teacher and inherited.
That being the case, it is impossible not to know the depth of the hunting gate.
Lin Shuo was looking at Alezzo, and Alezzo was also looking at him.
Then Alezzo laughed heartily, revealing a mouthful of blood-red teeth from chewing raw betel nuts, and his huge and fat body kept shaking with his laughter.
He opened his arms to Lin Shuo, and said loudly in Chinese: "Welcome, my friends who came from afar, please come quickly, and let me entertain you well."
Lin Shuo responded with a shallow smile, nodded, and led the hunter team over.
Alezzo came up to meet him, and the two came to face each other. Lin Shuo saw that he wanted to hug.
It's a pity that this fat man's stomach is too big and his arms are too short, so he can't hug him. On the premise that his stomach doesn't touch Lin Shuo's body, his palms can only touch Lin Shuo's shoulders.
Yu he gently supported Lin Shuo's shoulder, and said in his mouth: "The head of the Liemen, who has admired his name for a long time, is indeed a dragon and phoenix when I saw him today.
Mr. Lin may not know that I, Alezzo, have one-eighth of Chinese blood, and my maternal grandfather is Chinese.
At that time, his old man wandered from Lingnan to Indonesia, married his grandmother, and gave birth to my mother.
If my founding of the country is successful, I will be the first to establish diplomatic relations with China.
If possible, I also want to go to China to recognize my ancestors, and then I will ask Mr. Lin to be a guide. "
Alezzo talked for a while, Lin Shuo smiled faintly, and replied:
"Your Chinese is pretty good."
Although this sentence is a boast, it is actually tantamount to killing the topic, and Lin Shuo didn't pick up on it.
Alezzo's face froze slightly, then he let go of Lin Shuo's shoulders, and turned to the side with a smile: "I also ask Mr. Lin to take his seat quickly, we will not return tonight until we are drunk."
Following the host's arrangement, the guests and hosts were seated one after another.
At this moment, Lin Shuo noticed that there were six people sitting at the main table where he was.
Alezzo, this is one, my husband and wife are three, and Miao Guangqi's status is there, this is also one.
The last one, whom I have seen before, is the deputy head of the European Knights Hospitaller, the white paladin Alfat.
The paladin was still dressed in white at the moment, with a blank expression on his face, facing Lin Shuo face to face.
At the table behind him, there were several other knights from the Knights of the Hospitaller, among them, the female knight Cotillard, with her long crimson hair that was very eye-catching, she was facing Lin Shuo.
The paladin's face was calm, but the female knight behind him was very expressive.
Cotillard looked at Lin Shuo, with her small mouth pouted, her small eyebrows raised, and her small eyes were fierce, as if she wanted to eat people.
Lin Shuo glanced at her and stopped looking at her.
Looking back, looking at the arrangement on the table, it was obviously Western food.
The dishes are eaten one by one, and there is only red wine in front of him at the moment, and the dishes have not been served yet.
At this time, Alezzo said in English: "This time, two groups of people, the chief leader and the deputy head, are invited here because the situation is serious.
I know that you will definitely be dissatisfied if you invite two of them at once.
However, I can't help it.
In my position, I have to take into account all aspects of influence when doing things.
The International Biological Research Association is affiliated with the United Nations, and the Strange Creature Research Association is backed by China. I can't offend either of them, so I made this bad move.
But please rest assured, no matter what the final result of this matter is, I will definitely pay you according to the contract.
And for the party that hunts successfully, I will double the reward.
You should have noticed that I am also a person in the practice circle, and I learned from Indonesian shamanism.
The practice of Nanyang head-down and Siamese boxing is not bad when I ask myself.
If it's easy to handle, I'll do it by myself.
It's not that I haven't tried it, and it's true that I can't do it. I can only ask you two to worry about it.
Come, let me offer a toast to both of you. "
While talking, Alezzo raised the wine glass in front of him.
Lin Shuo felt that Alezzo's words were quite reasonable.
The trading conditions have been issued, and at the same time, a preliminary settlement has been made.
This is what it looks like to talk about business, and the problem is not very big.
Lin Shuo then also raised his wine glass, and was about to drink, but found that the white-clothed paladin Alfat had already drank the wine in the glass in front of him.
Then I saw the paladin standing up: "Since this is the case, I will implement the previous agreement. I personally don't like this kind of banquet, so I will leave first."
After finishing speaking, the paladin led the knights in the next seat, patted their buttocks and left.
Alezzo froze for a moment, then turned to look at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo also drank the wine in the glass, put the glass back on the table, and said, "The wine is good, but I don't know how the food is."
Alezzo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly waved his hand: "Serve!"
