Chapter 26: A celebration of the common people

Views:

Returning to the mission station, the exhausted Enleco hurried back to the room that he had not stayed in for a day since arriving here. However, no matter how tired Enleco was, he never forgot one thing, which was to take off the women's clothing that had restrained him for several days, made him suffer a lot, and brought him countless troubles. It was not until this moment that Enleco felt truly relieved and truly had a feeling of complete liberation.

Enleco was extremely satisfied with this long-lost feeling. He only hoped that this was the last ordeal of fate. Her Royal Highness the Princess and Joe could just let him go. Enleco was willing to use any means. something in exchange for one's own freedom. However, the most important thing for Enleco at the moment is to have a good sleep. Enleco fell on his chest and fell asleep immediately.

I don't know how much time passed, but when Enleco woke up from his sleep, it was already very noisy and lively with cars and horses outside. After a hurried cleaning, Enleco walked out of the room and saw four carriages neatly lined up in the yard. Enleco knew that the first two carriages were for Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince, and the third carriage was for Qiao and He. The magician Mados prepared it. As for the fourth Enleco, he guessed that one of its members might be Jerry. But it didn't matter to Enleco whether it was Jerry or not. Enleco just hoped that the carriage was not prepared for him. When he thought of this, he quickly got back into his room and closed the doors and windows tightly. After closing it, drawing all the curtains, and then lying back on the bed again, Enleco decided to sleep like this until tomorrow morning. Looking at the current situation, it is really better to do less than to do more.

When he thought of this, Enleco continued to sleep with peace of mind. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that he slept in because his father taught him that sleeping in was the most luxurious behavior since he was a child, because this behavior was a waste of money. It's your own life and your own time that you can never catch up with. Therefore, Enleco never slept in unless he was sick or injured.

To be honest, for a person who never sleeps in, sleeping in is indeed a very uncomfortable thing. Sleeping under the quilt with nothing to do is both annoying and boring. Enleco tried hard to find something for himself to do to relieve his boredom and sorrow, so as to kill this boring and wasteful behavior.

After some time, Enleco heard someone knocking on his door. He didn't dare to get up and open the door. Anyway, it would be bad for him now.

The person outside the door knocked for a long time, but when there was no response, he said to someone: "Enleco may have been too tired yesterday. He hasn't woken up yet and can't wake up at all. What should I do?"

Enleco recognized Jack's voice.

Then the voice of Her Royal Highness the Princess, who Enleco was most afraid of, came from outside the door. Her Highness said: "Oh? Is that so? Since he is too tired, don't force him. Anyway, this meeting is not Nothing happens without him, he has been tired enough recently, let him have a good rest."

After saying that, I heard the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground outside the door. As the sound of horse hooves sounded, the sound of a vehicle rolling over the bluestone floor reached Enleco's ears. The sound became farther and farther and softer.

Enleco finally took a long breath, and the alarm was finally lifted. He quietly got up from his bed and opened the door secretly. Only when he was sure that there was no danger, did he open the door and walk out of the room again.

After Her Royal Highness the Princess left, the mission station was really empty. Most of the knights followed to protect Her Royal Highness. There were only some knights on duty who were responsible for standing guard, and those mercenaries were idle and placed around the mission station. Among the houses and inns. This was the idea of the old and cunning Joe. Because it was inconvenient for the envoy led by the Princess to have too many escorts, Joe proposed to form a mercenary team. For all countries in the world, the mercenary team is The team with the least combat effectiveness, so even if a large number of mercenary teams appear in a country, it will not cause too much vigilance in that country. Moreover, although the mercenary team is not very effective in combat, it is used for reconnaissance and cover. , escape, mercenaries with various specialized skills and special training are perfect. Because of this, a relatively inconspicuous mercenary team appeared in the escort team of the mission. Due to the practices of various countries, this form of mercenary team is not officially received by the sending country. Therefore, the mission station is There were not so many rooms arranged for the mercenaries to live, and Qiao was quite satisfied with this. He could logically place the mercenaries around the station and mix them with the common people of the Kaoqi Kingdom. In this way, it would be much more difficult for the Kaoqi Kingdom to launch a surprise attack on the station. At least it would not be that simple to catch everyone in one go. If you want to capture all the members, including the mercenaries, you have to surround a large area around the station. And because they live mixed with the Kaoqi people, it is completely impossible for the Kaoqi people to quietly evacuate the surrounding residents without alerting the envoys.

This move is definitely the most ingenious and effective one arranged by Qiao. It will not arouse the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the Kaoqi Kingdom and can control the situation as efficiently as possible. What's more, those mercenaries also have a special mission. They are responsible for establishing good relations with the Kaochi people around them and trying their best to create a good impression on the Kaochi people that Sophie is kind, friendly, honest, and generous. Of course, For this reason, every mercenary will receive more or less an extra allowance. This allowance is not for them to spend casually. This allowance is used to treat the familiar Kaoqi people around them to dinner or to give gifts to those who are familiar with them. For gifts from Kaoqi people. Of course, those mercenaries all deducted some money from it. After all, there are very few mercenaries in this world who are not greedy for money.

Enleco has always liked to hang out with those mercenaries and those Kaoqi people, because these people are exactly the same as the people in the world where he originally lived. There is no gorgeous but gorgeous service that restrains the body, and there is no exquisite food there. There are no complicated etiquette there, there is no...but there is warmth, harmony, and an ordinary but colorful life there. Enleco really envied those people and the lifestyle that he had completely lost. Only now did he know that that kind of life was the most comfortable, happy and beautiful life in the world.

Enleco decided to go to the place where the mercenaries lived. Yesterday he did not get any fun from the Victory Day celebration that he was most looking forward to. On the contrary, it was simply suffering. Today is the second day of the Victory Day celebration. According to Today is still a crazy and lively day for Zhenli. He wants to make up for his losses and chase happiness back.

Of course, in addition to these, Enleco had another biggest reason that forced him to take refuge with those mercenaries. He had not forgotten the attitude of Princess Xiling towards him at yesterday's banquet. The one with two faces , the mysterious and terrifying Princess Princess, although Enleco didn’t fully understand what was going on, he at least knew a little bit. He could avoid Princess Xiling as far as he could. Then This young lady has a mysterious and terrifying personality and identity. She can never offend that kind of person. Compared with that kind of person, Qiao and Her Royal Highness the Princess are simply angels.

In order to prevent Her Royal Highness Xi Ling from being found, Enleco decided to temporarily hide with the mercenaries while Her Royal Highness the Princess and the others were away. Thinking of this, Enleco slowly walked out of the mission station.

In front of the mission's residence is a square paved with bluestone slabs. Not far to the right, where the human eye can see, there is a sparse forest. Those woods have been specially and carefully pruned, and each tree maintains its original shape. In such an extremely elegant state, Enleco knew that it was the place used by the Kaoqi family for hunting, and the diplomatic residence where they lived was originally the hunting palace where the emperor rested temporarily when he went on a hunting tour. On the left side of the station is a quite prosperous town. The town is spread out along the main road in a long strip. One end of the town stretches to the corner of the capital Vedsk. This place is located in the southern suburbs of Vedsk, the outskirts of the capital. Originally, the surrounding residents were personnel serving the Kaoqi royal family who maintained the operation of the hunting palace Rui. With the expansion of the southern road and the prosperity of trade, , not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, some ordinary people gradually began to live here. Later, more than 300 years ago, due to the promulgation of the rule that ordinary people were not allowed to enter the city after dusk in Vedsk, this originally small suburban town suddenly developed. Because the businessmen from the south were not allowed to enter the city at night and had to rest here, the town prospered rapidly. The main business here was the hotel business. Most of the houses on both sides of the road were They are all kinds of hotels and inns. Of course, there are also several grocery stores, which are inevitable stores located in transportation hubs. Enleco is quite familiar with all of these.

Enleco was walking on the road. Since today was a celebration, there was no sight of cars coming and going on the road. On the contrary, the road today was full of drunk people who were staggering and unsteady. . There were noisy sounds coming from the inns on both sides of the road, hoarse singing everywhere, the sound of wine glasses clinking, laughter everywhere... Enleco felt that he was back to himself again My hometown, the place I know and love.

Enleco strolled into the largest hotel, which was a relatively high-end hotel opened for businessmen who could afford the money. When he walked into the hotel, a warm festive atmosphere greeted him. The hotel, which usually didn't have many customers, was crowded with people, and a fragrant smell of barbecue entered Enleco's nostrils. Enleco knew that for ordinary people, this was a superb delicacy that could only be enjoyed during festivals.

A waiter walked by and asked politely: "Sir, do you have an invitation letter?"

Enleco was stunned when asked, invitation? Suddenly he realized that this was probably a place where the town's upper class gathered to celebrate. After all, this hotel seemed to be the largest and most exquisitely decorated hotel in the entire town. Every time it comes to the Victory Day celebration, the rich and upper-class people in the town will gather in places like this to celebrate the most joyful three days of the year. This is also the case in my hometown of Severna. Enleco used to be quite envious of the people in the town who could attend such gatherings. For his former self, such gatherings were already out of reach.

Enleco, who knew that he had gone to the wrong place, apologized repeatedly and was about to walk out of the hotel. Unexpectedly, a very kind and cheerful middle-aged fat man walked out of the lively crowd and saw him walking up to Enleco. He said: "Guests from afar, since you have entered this simple shop of mine, it means you are destined. If you don't mind, please come in and sit down and celebrate this grand festival with us."

Hearing what the boss said, the waiter standing next to him quickly stepped aside.

Enleco followed the boss to the dining table in the middle of the hotel hall. The boss personally pulled a chair for him and placed it next to him. The Kaoqi people who were originally sitting at the dining table were also quite knowledgeable. They have to be close to each other, a basket? A place for Enleco to sit.

Enleco obviously felt that the people around him were surprisingly polite, as if they thought he was some big shot. Thinking of this, Enleco paid careful attention to the people around him.

Most of the people around were older people, with only one or two young people, and the hotel owner was considered the younger one among this group of people. No one here is the same age as Enleco, and the one closest to him is at least ten years older than him. Enleco also discovered one thing. Everyone paid a lot of attention to him.

In fact, Enleco didn't understand that in the eyes of those successful businessmen, his temperament, which was pondered by Her Royal Highness, undoubtedly made everyone mistakenly think that he was a noble young master. Even though he was this little *** The upper class celebrities, but are they still far away from the aristocracy of the Kaoqi Kingdom

At the banquet, Enleco fully enjoyed everyone's hospitality, while he ate and listened to the conversations of those people. Perhaps because there is a big man like Enleco here, the atmosphere of the conversation is not very active. Most of the topics are business dealings, where prices are cheap, where the quantity of goods is sufficient, and where mineral prices have fallen. But as they talked, everyone finally couldn't help but bring the topic to yesterday's celebration. Enleco was quite interested in this topic. He wanted to hear how those people felt about the celebration that bored him.

Sure enough, unlike him standing on the stage, everyone was talking about the grand celebration and the huge military parade. A few people even proudly claimed that they were among the celebrating crowd to present gifts to His Majesty the Emperor. When they said this, their expressions were like heroes returning in triumph, and the people around them showed an expression of envy and admiration. Enleco really didn't understand, was it really such an honor for these people to be able to participate in that celebration? Of course, he didn't dare to say this.

The next topic turned to the memorial ceremony after the grand celebration. Those who participated in the celebration also participated in the memorial ceremony. For them, the most proud thing was the one held in Heroes Square. The grand memorial ceremony was hosted by their most respected chief priest, Mr. Meron. Those people were talking with joy, and the people around them were also excited to hear it. Everyone (except Enleco) was immersed in an atmosphere of incomparable admiration. middle.

Those who recovered from the extremely excited and intoxicated state began to talk enthusiastically about the things that happened during the celebration yesterday.

Enleco did not expect that in just one day, their outstanding performance on the black altar in the palace would be spread everywhere.

I saw two middle-aged men at the dinner table happily introducing the news they had heard about the amazing memorial ceremony. They complemented each other's words, while everyone around them craned their necks to concentrate. Gotta listen.

The topics these two people talked about were really what Enleco and the others experienced at the memorial ceremony yesterday. However, through the narration of these two people, the already thrilling scene became even more colorful. . And the people around them were really fascinated by what those two people said.

What a powerful performance troupe composed of four young but outstanding magicians, including the high priest Meron, the great magician Kobe Leo, and Sophie, performing the plot of meeting the founding hero (the part was adapted very badly). Decent drama is also one of the few things that Kaoqi people talk about).

What a shameful aristocratic judge’s ugly behavior when evaluating performances. (Enleco felt that those people exaggerated this paragraph very much.)

The talented young Sophie forbidden curse magician revealed his identity under the introduction of Mr. Kobe Leo, the most respected great magician in Kaoqi. (Enleco was quite embarrassed when he heard this. The person who was preached so miraculously by those two people was himself)

The unprecedented appearance of the magic knight and the thrilling contest. Kaoqi is worthy of being a martial country. The contest was very detailed and not spread at all. Moreover, this narrative is the same as what happened yesterday. The situation is quite consistent, not overly exaggerated, and at the same time not taking one's own side and belittling Kate's strength. (Enleco is quite curious about this. Who is it that spreads these things? If he can say it in such detail, that person must have participated in yesterday's memorial ceremony, and those who can participate in the memorial ceremony are definitely extremely noble nobles. It should have nothing to do with the people here)

During the competition, there was an evenly matched battle of wits between their revered military god, Duke Hagriro, and the talented young forbidden curse mage from Sophien Kingdom. (Enleco was even more embarrassed when he heard this. First of all, he did not expect that the playboy was so respected in the Kaoqi Kingdom. Secondly, his performance was praised a little too highly by the Kaoqi people, which really made him feel a little bit embarrassed. No.)

The two people who spoke the most brilliantly, the people around them listened the most seriously, and the one with the most enthusiastic atmosphere was the artifact identification incident that was completely caused by Enleco's accident. I saw the two people frothing at the mouth, talking excitedly about the legendary sacred scene, as if they had been there, and the people around them were also infected by this atmosphere, and everyone They all had their eyes widened, and they were so nervous that they listened attentively, fearing that they would miss anything. Especially when I heard those two people talking about the goddess-like beautiful girl who is the niece of the great wizard Kobe Leo. With the help of Duke Hagriro, she opened the heroic bow and shot the invincible arrow. At the scene of the divine arrow, all the people around him unknowingly raised their bodies and stretched their necks, as if they had also seen that sacred scene. (When Enleco heard this, he wanted to escape from the hotel immediately. He really couldn't stand being described as a saint by these two speakers)

After the two men finished narrating all this, they pointed in the direction of the city center and said: "If you don't believe it, you can go and see it. There is a newly built plaster statue in the sky square in the city center. I heard it is the statue of two people. The famous sculptor saw the scene last night and was inspired to create it all night long. The author is raising funds to turn the plaster statue into a bronze statue. Come and see it, it's quite a sensation."

After hearing the proposal of these two people, everyone was whispering to each other and talking about it. Soon someone proposed to go to the square to have a look, and they even started to discuss the time to go together. Enleco also wanted to see what was going on, which was closely related to himself.

The discussion soon ended, and everyone decided to go to the Sky Plaza soon, and the boss was so kind that he invited Enleco to go with them. Of course Enleco agreed. He didn't know Sky Plaza.

During the following period, people around him kept talking about the memorial ceremony. Obviously inspired by the news, the atmosphere suddenly became heated, and everyone was talking about their opinions. The focus of the discussion was the powerful strength of the Sophie Kingdom. Enleco had no idea that the casual performance of himself and Kate yesterday would have such a great impact on the Kaoqi people that all the Kaoqi people present were greatly excited. After estimating the strength of their mission, he, the magic apprentice who was called the Forbidden Mage by Kobe Leo himself, became the focus of everyone's attention. During the memorial ceremony, his instructions to Kate actually made all Cao Qi Ren once again overestimated his own strength, thinking that he was as good a military strategist as Duke Hegeero, and in the end, the shock caused by his momentary curiosity even made him stand up. With an unparalleled height, Enleco really felt like he was at a high place. He didn't want to be overestimated by others, especially this kind of overestimation without reason.

Another thing that gave Enleco a headache was that the performance of the woman's self in that memorial ceremony was too exciting, which made a considerable number of Kaoqi people regard the woman's self as second only to the chief priests Meron and The sacred symbol of Kaoqi from the Great Wizard Kobe Leo. This is definitely a big obstacle for me to completely disappear from the society of the Kaoqi people.

Just when Enleco was full of random thoughts, the carriage came. Everyone stood up from their seats one after another, and Enleco followed them to the door. There was a long line of carriages outside the door. Since today was a visit to the celebration, those carriages were all open-top sightseeing carriages, and behind him An old man proudly claimed that he provided all of this. Enleco guessed that the old man should be a big boss in the transportation industry here. All the people crowded into the carriage. On this day, this kind of open-top sightseeing carriage was the most in-demand means of transportation. There was no place to hire it if you had money, so there were so many people that you could only squeeze in.

The carriage moved forward slowly. Enleco was surprised when he entered the city gate. All the roads were crowded with slowly advancing carriages. These carriages converged into two slowly flowing rivers of carriages. What a scene. It was definitely not inferior to the scene on Central Avenue yesterday, but there were no cars to make way for them today.

The tourists on the car were not anxious. They leisurely took out the snacks they had prepared and chatted happily while eating. Because the vehicles are so close to each other, it is easy to exchange snacks or have conversations even if there are two or three cars apart. There are even many people climbing from one car to another, and the cars are slowly flowing. The river has set up a long and unique stage for mutual communication for all tourists. On this stage, they talk freely and share the joy of the festival. Enleco really likes this feeling. He deeply loves it. I feel deeply that this is real life.

The vehicles flowed slowly along with the river of traffic to an open square. The noisy sounds in the square could be heard from a long way away. The warm atmosphere suddenly infected most people, and everyone was curious. Looking in that direction, a few impatient people had already stood up from the convertible. They stepped on the edges of the carriages, stepped from one carriage to another, and marched towards the square. Enleco watched these people disappear among the crowds of people.

The traffic was getting slower and slower. I don't know how much time had passed. Those who had stepped over other people's carriages to look at the front came back in the same way, holding more or less something in their hands. After one of them got on Enleco's carriage, surrounded by everyone, the man took out those things for everyone to admire. It turned out that they were all small, palm-sized statues cast in plaster. Although they were These statues were hurriedly made into molds and poured in one night, but they were also made very carefully, showing the extraordinary skill of the sculptor. Due to the tight time schedule, the creator of the statue deliberately ignored the modification of the details of the statue, and only focused on the depiction of the character's demeanor, expression, and movements.

This brilliant sculptor grasped the expressions of the characters just right, making everyone who saw it marvel. This is really a beautiful sculpture, a perfect work, which makes those who were originally fascinated by those two people. People who had a hint of doubt in everything he said completely dispelled the only remaining doubt.

Enleco glanced at the exquisite sculpture that the man held in his hands like a treasure. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he himself was the subject on the statue, he would have been amazed by this exquisite sculpture, because although it was just a statue made in large quantities, it was because of the artist's superb His unique skills make this small statue seem to be alive, and all its lines seem to be alive.

However, looking at this statue, Enleco felt vaguely that something was very bad, very bad, very bad. That outstanding sculptor is really too clever. A simple small sculpture contains a lot of emotions. The solemn expression of the woman in the middle has already brought endless trouble to herself, and the one behind her is helping her. The author of Hegeiro, who drew his bow, deliberately made his appearance rather vague for some unknown reason, but anyone with a little appreciation can see that look of love and concern. Enleco really didn't understand why the sculptor wanted to shape the image of Haguero like this. Is this just to highlight the self in women's clothing and not to cause the feeling of being unobtrusive? Enleco has doubts about this, but one thing Enleco is very clear about is that these statues are extremely popular. This can be seen from the fact that many people around want to buy this statue.

The car gradually approached and finally arrived at the sky square. Since there were too many cars, there was no parking space at all, so everyone had to jump off the carriage and let the empty carriage without people continue to move forward with the traffic. Those baskets were Circle around the square over and over again. The first thing people who jumped off the carriage did was to rush into the crowd of people in the square, hoping to buy one or two of the sculptures they admired so much.

Enleco had no interest in this, so he quietly watched the fat boss struggling to squeeze into the crowd. Enleco, who was bored, looked at the surrounding environment. Obviously, this square was One of the many large squares in Vedsk. It is exactly the same as other large squares, with dozens of large bronze statues neatly arranged around it. These statues are solemn and solemn, but compared with the small statue just now, the surrounding statues seem to lack something. The entire square covers an area of nearly ten acres. There is a high platform in the center of the square, and the crowded people gather on the high platform.

Enleco walked alone along the edge of the square. Since everyone was crowded on the high platform, there were quite few people in this place. Enleco looked at the people who were desperately crowding onto the high platform, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. At the same time, Enleco became curious about the sculptor. He really couldn't imagine what kind of person that outstanding sculptor was. You must know that the people who are qualified to participate in yesterday's memorial ceremony are all nobles among the nobles of the Kaoqi Kingdom. Even if such a person has such outstanding artistic talent, he will not come here to sell on the street. If that kind of noble wants to cast For a bronze sculpture, he will never raise funds in this way. Even if he has no money himself, as long as he takes that exquisite work and walks around in social media, there will definitely be people who are willing to fund him. There are just as many now. You must know that those nobles who have money and nowhere to spend it will definitely rush to do this kind of thing that can both be in the limelight and please Duke Hegeero.

Just when Enleco was extremely curious about this, he saw a burst of movement in the crowd. The originally crowded crowd dispersed in all directions, except for some people who were holding sculptures in their hands and looking at the surroundings happily while admiring them. Although people had to show off from time to time, most people walked down from the high platform in despair. Enleco guessed that the sculptor might have sold out all the statues in his hands. Enleco, who wanted to see what kind of person the sculptor was, waited until the crowd gradually dispersed before walking onto the high platform.

When they came to the high platform, they saw that there were still many people around, including the fat hotel owner who entertained him warmly, and the car shop owner who was enthusiastic about providing sightseeing vehicles. He was also standing among them, and they kept shouting. From what he said, Enleco could guess that those who are still here must be relatively wealthy people. They either promised to provide funds for the sculptor to complete the great work, or asked for money to be used. Ordinary people pay much more to order a sculpture.

Suddenly, a very hoarse but powerful voice was heard from the crowd: "Stop arguing, I have said it many times, I don't want anyone else to fund it, that work is my brainchild, it belongs to me." "My Love" is a work that only belongs to me. I absolutely don't want anyone to support me. No one can share my "Love" with me! No one can even think about it!"

I saw a man wearing an khaki cloak, his head covered with bits of snow-white gypsum debris, a brush-like beard on his lips that was almost completely dyed white, and his eyes were still bright and bright even though they were bloodshot. Han pushed aside the onlookers and rushed out, carrying two old and tattered large suitcases in his hands. The strong man had extraordinary strength, and with just a few moves, the two people who were holding him fell out.

Enleco became even more curious about this unique sculptor, because he could completely see that the sculptor had outstanding skills that were quite inconsistent with his identity. Enleco suddenly had an urge to learn more about this mysterious sculptor. He immediately thought of the spiritual magic "Eye of the Soul" that Most had given him, but he had never used it once.

Enleco recited the magical mantra silently in his heart. With the special meditation, a trace of magic gradually gathered between his left finger and right index finger. Enleco quietly raised his hands to his chest, with his left finger The right index finger and the right index finger touch each other lightly to form the shape of an eye. The magic power flowed rapidly between the two fingers, and as an invisible mental wave spread forward gently, a vague figure gradually formed in the depths of Enleco's spirit. As the movement continued, the figure became clearer and clearer, and finally a complete human figure appeared in Enleco's mind. The entire body and limbs of the figure showed an orange-red color. Enleco knew from Most that these orange-red colors represented the terrifying explosive power of the person in front of him, and the several blue-black stripes between the wrists and elbows also showed that It turns out that this person's wrist is quite flexible. The skill on his hands is extremely impressive. What surprised Enleco the most was that there was a dagger hidden in the suitcase carried by the strong man. What was unimaginable was that there was a layer of water flowing faintly on the dagger. Enleco knew that the dark blue light was the color of water magic. If he saw it correctly, there was a magic dagger hidden in the suitcase. Although judging from the magic power contained in this magic dagger, the magic sword is still far from the artifact used by the hero Xin Luoan I saw yesterday, but magic weapons are still extremely rare. A kind of weapon, that is a priceless treasure. It is simply impossible for ordinary people to own such a weapon. Enleco is now even more curious about the strong man.

Just when Enleco wanted to continue to follow the mysterious figure and find out his identity, the person in front suddenly stopped, and he slowly turned around and faced Enleco.

Enleco could only stand still. The two stood face to face. Enleco could take a good look at the mysterious figure opposite him this time. Only then did he notice that the mysterious man had a pair of sharp eyes like Haguero's. With ordinary eyes, Enleco has only seen three people with such eyes, the other one is Joe, but Joe's concealment skills are quite good, he can always use that sharp eyes Hidden in a confused expression, it is not easy for others to notice.

I saw the man standing opposite looking at Enleco with a surprised look on his face, because he didn't expect that the guy following him was actually the Sophie who had shocked the entire Kaoqi upper class at the memorial ceremony yesterday. Well, young magician, it is really puzzling that such a character appears in such a place, because with the strength and status of this young magician, there is absolutely no reason for him to wander around this place at this important moment. Today is the day for comprehensive talks between the Kaoqi Kingdom and the Sophien Kingdom. Yesterday, the highest-level meeting of the Kaoqi Kingdom was held in the secret reception room of the royal palace. At the meeting, everyone unanimously agreed to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Sophie, including Prime Minister Somyret, the army, and the leader of the outer vassal, Hegeero. The Duke all supported this decision, and what made these people make this decision was the contribution of the powerful forbidden curse magician in front of them, and his companion who was both a magician and a martial artist.

Especially the magician in front of me. In the competition after the memorial ceremony yesterday, he showed the kind of qualities that only a profound military strategist and strategist can possess, as well as his keen and accurate analysis and judgment of the situation. Ability, which greatly amazed everyone present, including himself. To be honest, yesterday's unprecedented competition, although on the surface it was between the knight of the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the knight of the Kingdom of Sophie with both magic and martial arts. In fact, it was a competition between Duke Hagriro and the young magician in front of him of his ability to analyze and judge the situation at that time, as well as his ability to command on the spot. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a wonderful competition, but in my own eyes, it was a condensed war between the Kingdom of Kaoqi and the Kingdom of Sophie. The situation at that time was in line with the current situation of the two countries. Kaoqi The Kingdom of Qi has an absolute military advantage, while the Kingdom of Sophie has magical tactics. Kaoqi's orthodox tactics are against Sophie's changeable and unpredictable tactics. Although the two sides ended up in a tie, in the long run, the potential of Sophien Kingdom was much greater than that of Kaoqi Kingdom.

Presumably Somyret and Haguero also think so. The reason why they support the alliance with the Kingdom of Sophie must be based on their calculations. If their guess is not wrong, the magician in front of them must have their own calculations. , and his companion who is both a magician and a martial artist, the Kaoqi people will never let them return home. After all, rather than letting a powerful force hide in an unknown place to threaten their own safety, it is better to keep it tightly sealed It's much safer to monitor things under your nose.

And the reason why Somilet and Haguero invited themselves to participate in their plan was probably because they wanted to rely on themselves to contain those Sophie benefactors. Of course, if they fought with those Sophie benefactors, both of them would lose. It’s a matter of personal preference. It is precisely because he has such great use value that the two guys treat him so politely. They can give him whatever he wants. However, these two guys will never give up what he really wants. My own. Ever since I saw the beautiful goddess at yesterday's memorial ceremony, I have really understood what I want, what I am pursuing in this life, and what I desire. But looking at the situation yesterday, that guy Hagrid is now in a relationship with me. It was the same mood, and the despicable look in Somilet's eyes showed that this annoying guy also didn't have any good ideas. You should be more wary of this guy himself.

Thinking of the goddess he saw at the memorial ceremony yesterday, this mysterious figure fell into a state of hatred and obsession. Ever since he saw the goddess yesterday, he seemed to have a feeling in his mind. I have so little sustenance that I didn't sleep last night, rushing to retain the image of the goddess in my mind. That sculpture contains all my emotions, is all my sustenance, and is the crystallization of my hopes. It's a pity that it's just a sculpture. A plaster product, how could ordinary plaster be worthy of the goddess? I had to turn that sculpture into a golden statue. For this purpose, I made a mold overnight, and made many rough shapes through this mold. I didn't expect that such a rough thing would be so appreciated by everyone. If I had known it would be like this, I should have made a few more last night. But despite this, I have made enough money today. As long as it is the same tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Then it is completely possible to make a golden statue. This statue must be cast with money earned by oneself, then it will be meaningful and worthy of this pure statue.

Seeing that the mysterious figure had not spoken, Enleco asked, "Excuse me, did you attend the memorial ceremony yesterday?"

Hearing Enleko's question, the people around him gradually gathered around. They were also curious about this question, because everyone present knew that only the highest-ranking nobles in Kaoqi would be invited to attend the ceremony held in the palace. Memorial ceremony. And the strange artist who made the sculpture didn't look like a nobleman at all.

The man opposite obviously didn't want to discuss this topic further. After all, this might expose his true identity, so he returned all the trouble to Enleco himself. He touched the beard on his lips and said: "Of course, if I hadn't witnessed yesterday's scene with my own eyes, how could I have made this work? There are not many things in this world that deserve my appreciation. Of course you The performance at yesterday's memorial service also impressed me, but my appreciation for the wonderful performance of you and your companion is far from being comparable to the passion that young lady aroused in me."

When the mysterious figure said these words, everyone around him turned their attention to Enleco with great interest, especially those who accompanied Enleco, even though they had guessed that Enleco had He might be a noble, but they would never have imagined that the young man in front of them was one of the high-ranking nobles qualified to participate in the memorial ceremony held in the palace. What's more, it can be heard from the artist's words that the boy shined at the memorial ceremony. Of course, those around him just thought that Enleco was just performing at the Victory Day celebration after the memorial ceremony. The performance is just outstanding. Unexpectedly, what the mysterious man said next shocked everyone present.

Just listen to him say: "Am I right? The only recognized owner of the Holy Wand of Wisdom in this world besides the High Priest Meron, and the only Forbidden Curse Mage besides the Great Mage Kobe Leo, Sophie Enleko, the young magician of the kingdom. Lord Pross."

After saying these words, the mysterious figure bowed respectfully to Enleco, then turned around and got into the crowd, quickly disappearing.

Enleco was about to catch up, but the people around him were like an insurmountable human wall, blocking him. Everyone stood there blankly. They absolutely did not expect that a legendary figure was standing in front of them, and those who accompanied Enleco were even more shocked by the news. They could not believe it no matter what. , the young man in front of them who was chatting and laughing with them, amiable, without any pretense, and at the same time polite, dignified and elegant, turned out to be the most famous person in recent rumors who has the same strength as the great wizard Kobe Leo. The forbidden magician. This added infinite joy to those people's extreme shock. You know, even if you want to invite a magician to attend a party of their level, it is completely impossible. The status of magicians is much higher than that of ordinary nobles, not to mention that the young man in front of them is actually A magician of the Grand Mage level with the highest strength and status among all magicians. With such a magician attending their banquet, this banquet will at least be remembered heavily in the history of this town. Remember, several of the people present are already thinking about how to raise funds to build a statue to commemorate this banquet when they return. They want their children and grandchildren to know that they once entertained a forbidden magician here. , of course, the carriage the magician rode in, the chair he sat in, and even the dining table he used are also souvenirs worth preserving. And the hotel owner was already regretting it. If he had known this, the plates and cups used by the magician just now should not have been put away. They are also rare souvenirs.

Enleco saw that the atmosphere around him was getting more and more heated, and more and more people were surrounding him. He knew that he was in trouble again. Fortunately, this kind of trouble is not too serious. Enleco is already familiar with handling this situation. He knows that in this situation, the best way is to satisfy the curiosity of the onlookers as much as possible. It is completely impossible to be secretive, and this will only be counterproductive.

The helpless Enleco had to make another guest appearance as a star. He politely answered the questions raised by people around him. Of course, Enleco's answers to those questions were all half-truths and half-falsies. , to be honest, if he told everyone the truth, no one would believe every word he said. Surrounded by everyone, on this day to celebrate the victory of ancient heroes, in this place where ancient heroes created glory and glory, Enleco spent a hard but happy day. Enleco had a great day today. It was fulfilling. It had been a long time since he had been with these people who truly understood life. In the days before, Enleco had been in a state of extreme nervousness.

The people around him were also quite happy, but what really excited them was that today they saw a real "hero" in reality. After all, the ancient heroes are far away from their era. Even the great heroic deeds have been forgotten by people after such a long time. The only thing left in people's memory is the glory of the celebration. These days of festivals every year have gradually become the only memories of those ancient heroes left to people.
