Night comes gradually.
After nightfall, the entire Izanagi-ryu main house began to hold a banquet with bright lights.
Platefuls of hot luxurious dishes and bottles of fine wine were continuously brought into the hall of the house, causing the tables placed here to gradually fill up the space.
The music played by ancient musical instruments echoed in the hall.
The lively atmosphere was stirred up again and again.
By the time the people of the Akabane clan were invited to the hall, the atmosphere of the banquet had reached its climax. After everyone took their seats, it started to be extremely lively.
Luo Zhen and Akabane Leizhen also came here. Although they sat only one step away from the first seat, they were not ignored by many people.
The adults were chatting with each other, some with warm smiles, some with hypocritical faces, some competing with each other in the conversation, and some spending time in a flurry of hypocrisy.
On the surface, it seems that the relationship between these people is very good, but in fact, there are so many secret confrontations that it makes people feel irritated.
Faced with this scene, the younger generation of children did not notice it at all. They gathered together and talked and joked. From time to time, they stared in the direction of Luo Zhen and Akabane Lei Zhen, as if they wanted to come over. The look of looking for trouble is much cuter than those hypocritical adults.
Akabane Raijin was sitting next to Luozhen, and he was also not aware of the adults' secret rivalry. He just looked at the Izanagi-ryu kid's angrily in a somewhat unhappy manner, and kept eating as if his grief and anger turned into appetite.
Luo Zhen looked at this scene, feeling that the undercurrent of the atmosphere was quite boring, and at the same time glanced in the direction of the leader.
There, Domon Qiluo sat alone, cross-legged and watched the adults fighting each other below, and the little devils playing tricks on each other, with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth as if he were watching a good show. One can imagine the bad character.
"well…"
Luo Zhen could only sigh and sigh.
"Adults are so complicated."
Luo Zhen, who was sighing like this, had completely forgotten that if his age in Chaldea were included, he would have been almost three years old.
However, Luo Zhen originally had very little life experience, and he has also been immersed in studying magic since he came to this world. In addition, due to his smaller body, his mental state seems to be in line with his appearance. In terms of personality, it is not. Not much mature.
Of course, there is no maturity as much as there is no maturity, but if he wants Luo Zhen to stare at each other like these brats, he can't do it.
Therefore, Luo Zhen could only turn a blind eye, ignore the actions of those brats, and look at the drinks held by the adults with curious eyes.
Obviously, Luo Zhen was a little curious about these drinks and wanted to taste them.
In his two lifetimes, Luo Zhen has never tasted the taste of wine. How could he not be tempted by his curiosity
From this point of view, Luo Zhen is worthy of his childish personality.
Such Luo Zhen also didn't notice that among the children of Izanagi-ryu, Kamo Subaru and Yuzuri Sixth Company were also staring at him. Domon Nichiren, who was surrounded by everyone, also glanced at him from time to time and looked at him. In this way, he was a little doubtful whether Luo Zhen's witty look during the day was true.
The banquet continued under such conditions.
It wasn't until three rounds of drinking that Domon Kirara finally stood up.
""
The noisy banquet scene immediately became silent as if it was an appointment.
Tumen Qiluo nodded with satisfaction, and his voice echoed throughout the audience.
"Today is the day for the marriage between Izanagi-ryu and the Akabane clan. My granddaughter, Domon Nichirin, will be engaged to a direct descendant of the Akabane clan today, and will accomplish something good."
After Domon Qiluo's words fell, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Luo Zhen, Akabane Raijin and Domon Nichirin.
In this regard, Akabane Lei really felt a little uncomfortable, Domon Nichirin even shrank his body into a ball, and Kamo Subaru and Yumiziroku beside him had unhappy expressions on their faces, each with their own expressions.
Only Luo Zhen, as if it had nothing to do with him, continued to think about how to steal some wine to try.
In this case, the situation entered the next stage.
"Only one person can be engaged to my granddaughter."
Domon Kirara pointed in the direction of Luo Zhen and Akabane Raijin.
"One of them is the second son of the head of the Akabane clan, and has the inheritance of the ; the other is the adopted son of the head of the Akabane clan, and his talent is enough to match the title of ."
Domon Kirara glanced at Luo Zhen and Akabane Raijin, and then continued to speak.
"I will choose one of these two people to be the son-in-law of my Tumen clan and let him be engaged to my granddaughter."
After saying that, Domon Kirara turned his attention to the seat of Akabane Sokan who was sitting under the leader.
"Master Akabane, do you have any objections?"
Tumen Qiluo made this inquiry.
"Of course not." Akabane Konguan responded immediately, but also asked: "It's just that I don't know which one of the two sons Qiluo is going to choose?"
This is the theme of tonight's banquet.
Everyone immediately became attentive.
Even Luo Zhen finally retracted his gaze staring at the drink, and looked at each other with a sincere look at Akabane Lei, and both saw something in the other's eyes.
"Definitely not me."
The look in their eyes revealed this meaning.
Unfortunately, the development of the situation did not go according to the two people's wishes.
I saw Domon Kirara suddenly laughing.
"Both of these two sons have merits, and I can't make a clear decision at the moment." Tumen Qiluo announced: "In view of this, I decided to give these two sons a trial."
Trial
Everyone present was collectively stunned.
Even Luo Zhen and Akabane Leizhen both showed blank expressions, looking completely confused.
Tumen Qiluo smiled like this and explained the so-called trial.
"On the back mountain of my Tengu Mountain, there is a forbidden area that Izanagi-ryu and I specially use to train the younger generation of Onmyoji."
"There are various shikigami set up there, spread throughout the mountain forest, and will expel those who enter the forbidden area."
"Now, I will open this place to the second son of the Akabane clan with the right of Izanagi-ryu as the master."
After hearing this, regardless of the others, Luo Zhen knew more or less what the content of the trial was.
Tumen Qiluo's next words also confirmed Luo Zhen's thoughts.
"I have placed a token somewhere in the forbidden area."
Domen Qiluo's eyes swept over Luo Zhen and Akabane Leizhen one after another.
"As long as one of you two brings the token out, then he will be the husband of the sun."
In this way, Luo Zhen ushered in this so-called trial.
And the result will surprise everyone.
