At night, the palace was brightly lit, everyone accepted the invitation, changed into the exquisite formal clothes brought by the affairs officer, and attended the banquet. In the dark of night, there are long tables with exquisite food, green, bright yellow, bright purple plants and vegetables, fragrant unknown animal barbecue, sweet pies overflowing with fresh milk, and brewed with source water. Light blue refreshing drink. The waiters shuttled through it with their plates, the musicians sat in the center and played oddly shaped instruments, the notes danced cheerfully on the strings, and the pale blue-skinned Wein nobles held each other in the courtyard. Cup chat, the banquet has not started long, in the corner of the courtyard is a pavilion, sitting in the courtyard of King Wei and high-ranking nobles, frequently looking at the courtyard passage, seeing the arrival of the warriors from the upper realm, the king cleared his throat and took the lead to stand up.
"Welcome to the palace dinner, I'm Gale Mio, thank you for your generosity..." said the king, "Mio" means "king" and "leader" in the Vein language, and it is also the king's self-proclaimed name.
King Jia Le was a sturdy middle-aged man. He walked down the pavilion and greeted him in person while saying his thanks. Without any pretense, the other nobles stopped talking and saluted Han Xiao and others. In front of the visitors from the upper realm, they know that their noble status is meaningless. This is the difference in levels. It is a bit similar to the chiefs of primitive tribes facing the visitors from the metropolis of civilized society, but the gap is even greater. The warriors from the upper realms are enough to ignore the local snakes. the strong dragon.
Linger’s side looked like Han Xiao was following his lead, so Han Xiao had to come out as the team leader to answer the conversation, said a lot of polite words, raised his hands, and a trivial matter, and then King Gale got closer and said a few words without any hesitation. Funny joke, the nobles burst into laughter, as if it were some extremely funny joke.
A group of protector of the country came out holding the interstellar communicator, with a cautious appearance, as if it were a sacred object. After a few operations, a virtual projection of an "ascender" appeared in the center of the courtyard, causing the Wein people to form an array. In awe, Han Xiao heard an old noble beside him say to his son: "This moment is rare, we can only see such miracles when important guests come."
Boss Volga pouted, "These people have never seen the world."
The second child gave him a cold look, "Aren't we like this when we were kids?"
The boss was speechless, snorted, stopped talking, turned his head and looked over, only to see that the third child was already grabbing a beast leg and chewing happily, his mouth was full of oil.
King Jiale exchanged a few words with the ascendant. The ascender thanked everyone for their help and credited the remuneration to each person's account. Then he ended the communication. King Jiale smiled and said: "Please enjoy the food and drink as much as you like. , it was a wonderful evening."
The guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and everyone integrated into the atmosphere of the banquet. Different civilizations and races had their own cultural customs. Everyone did as the locals did. From time to time, nobles came to chat, their attitudes were restrained and curious. In the crowd, spinning and jumping, eyes **.
Han Xiao didn't feel anything about these blue-skinned Wein people. After drinking a few sips of Yuanshui wine, he turned to see Aroshia staring at the dining table, as if hesitating whether to eat or not.
Han Xiao walked over, habitually grabbed her shoulders, leaned over to take a look, and said: "There has been no battle recently, you don't need to use abilities, just eat something."
Aroxia turned a blind eye to Han Xiao's actions, picked up a purple fruit, bit her lip, and hesitated. She didn't need to eat to survive, she would automatically absorb the free energy in the environment to maintain her own consumption, which was originally energy characteristics of life. But Han Xiao used to be curious about how she would eat and teased her to eat some food. Although Aroshia was not hungry, she tasted the deliciousness of the food and felt that eating was a very interesting thing, and eating became hers In entertainment activities, compared to the ignorant and extremely calm personality nine months ago, Aroshia now has more humanized features.
Aroshia's digestive function is very powerful, all food will be decomposed into energy, and there will be no residue, so there is no need to carry out excretion activities, but a strange accident happened. Before the food is digested, it is energized. After losing its body, the undigested residue in the stomach will fall out in the form of splashes. At that time, everyone was about to fight a group of enemy troops. This scene shocked both sides. The crowd fell into deep silence as they looked at the sputtered food residue beneath the energy beam.
Since then, Aroshia will count the days with her fingers before eating, and calculate whether she needs to use powers before the food is digested. Oh, her powers have grown rapidly, and it is more difficult than the players. It has reached c+, There is only half a step left from the B-level required by the mission.
After picking it up and putting it down several times, Aroxia finally took a bite of the fruit, showing a happy expression, and handed the bitten fruit to Han Xiao, "It's delicious, you try it."
Han Xiao took a bite, his face wrinkled suddenly, and pushed away Aroshia's hand, "Ah! Sour! Your taste is really heavy, keep it for yourself."
Han Xiao instructed her to exercise her strength. After getting along for a long time, Aroxia became closer and closer to Han Xiao. The interaction between the two was intimate, but there were no improper thoughts. Han Xiao did not treat Aroxia as a normal female creature at all. In her eyes, she is a gender-neutral energy body, very pure, and Aroshia doesn't feel like a female herself, so it's natural to hang on her shoulders.
Walking aside, Han Xiao estimated that it was almost the same. He found King Jia Le and expressed his desire to talk. King Jia Le invited Han Xiao into the pavilion and asked with a smile: "Hei Xing head, may I ask if you want to talk to me about something? ."
Han Xiao lowered his voice, "That's it, I want to ask you about a situation. To tell you the truth, I have a special intuitive ability. When I came, I felt that there seemed to be some kind of virus from the interstellar. Twilight Star."
King Jiale was startled and sat up straight, "You mean that our planet has contracted some kind of disease?!"
"No, it's just a feeling. Specifically, you need to check whether there are any large-scale similar symptoms recently, so as to determine whether there is a virus."
King Gale attached great importance to it and ordered the affairs officer to sort out the information of the territories around the country. The Kingdom of Vein has existed for many years and has a huge intelligence network. Every time each lord will submit a report on the territory, which is very convenient to collect.
Not long after, the affairs officer returned to the banquet courtyard and sorted out a few pages of the report. King Gale glanced at it and shook his head: "It's all normal infectious diseases, and there doesn't seem to be any large-scale new symptoms..."
Han Xiao raised his brows, "It's not necessarily an illness, it could be an abnormal behavior, such as... lethargy?"
King Jia Le was stunned for a moment, who would go to check the sleep if he had nothing to do. Everyone closed the door to sleep, who would tell everyone how the quality of sleep last night was, and there was no record of the sleep conditions of the people.
"Huh..." King Gale suddenly thought of something, "This year's mine production in various territories has decreased by 16% compared to last year, but the ore vein has not been exhausted, and the number of mining personnel is only a lot more than last year. Factors that can affect production... It seems that Only working time, could it be related to this?"
"Maybe." Han Xiao heard the words, glanced at King Jia Le, and was able to find a potential connection from another seemingly unrelated thing. This king seems to be somewhat capable.
Alienization virus has a long incubation period and many routes of transmission. The early symptoms of infected people are lethargy, and they are more and more prone to drowsiness. The higher the degree, the shorter the incubation period, the more severe the symptoms, and even skip the lethargy to enter the next stage. According to the version time, the current alienated virus is still in its infancy, which is very hidden.
"I don't know how Seablue Star is now." Han Xiao thought to himself.
King Jia Le was a little worried and asked if there was a solution. Han Xiao shook his head and said that he didn’t know what it was, but you had better be careful and leave. Han Xiao has already got the news he wants, and reminded King Jiale to keep the Twilight Star from being unguarded. After all, this planet is also one of the mission goals.
During the incubation period of the Alienization Virus, Han Xiao has no way to solve it, unless he is willing to give up the [Alienation Disaster] quest that has not yet started, and faces huge risks, handing over the Seventh Generation of the Alienization Virus to Ge before the disaster occurs When Dora makes an antidote, she has to face Gedora’s suspicions and interrogations... It’s too bad to do this. Only when the disaster breaks out, causing a sensation, and Gedora and Dusky Star officially confront each other, can the greatest value of the things in hand be brought into play. .
"The only way I can prepare for the alienation disaster is to increase my own combat power, and other means must wait for the opportunity."
…
The next day, Han Xiao declined the invitation from King Gale, left the capital, called a nearby partner's spaceship in the field, picked up Melos and Rezal, and set off back to the Juberly Hub.
Linger got Han Xiao's communication number and happily took him away.
Now that the Black Star Mercenary Group is a celebrity in the size of the Juberly Hub, they can finally enjoy the treatment of the Tianhuan Allied Forces that they saw when they first came to the Juberly Hub a year ago. There is no need to queue, and many services have priority. A group of people walked on the road, and many mercenaries and passers-by on the street cast friendly eyes and nodded in greeting.
Returning to the base, knocking Rezal unconscious, placing him in an empty room as a prison cell, leaving him there for the time being, and now there is a more important thing to pay attention to.
