Chapter 650 Butcher knife
The departure of the two kins.h.i.+p guests made many people feel relieved, and Thales was relieved: At least the Kingdom Secret Branch didn’t make any decisions on these strange races, otherwise, “the vampire attacked the battle feast, and the Kongming Palace would be terrifying. Ma.s.sacre", this news is frowning just by hearing the t.i.tle.
But the problem is...
Thales looked at the guests from all over the world: the king aimed to end Jayne’s career as a duke and destroy the foundation of the Kevin Deere family, but the South Bank is so big, the Emerald City is so complicated, what can you do if you mess up a banquet? Woolen cloth?
But instead of making him feel relieved, this thought made the prince even more uneasy.
Yes.
The voice in his heart told him: He must have other means.
The damage ?? can cause is far beyond what this banquet can give.
"I heard that His Royal Highness Thales was young and wise, handsome and handsome, I saw it today..."
"Our Chamber of Commerce and the colleagues of the central leaders.h.i.+p have a good cooperation. They supply materials and we process. I wonder if your Royal Highness is interested in..."
"I heard that Your Highness is here to find a good relations.h.i.+p. I don"t know how you get along with Miss Hilley?"
After Jain, the host of the banquet, left, Thales, who was alone, quickly became the new focus of all guests. The people who spoke to him included foreigners, local giants, va.s.sals and seniors under the Emerald City. bureaucracy……
Tels had to pray for Jayne to return quickly-at least the Patriarch of Kevin Deere can share most of the firepower, and the princes who intend to approach him also restrained and dared not be too obvious.
No, what a joke.
The Duke of Xinghu shook his head when he thought of this: Isn’t the bad things that Xiaohuahua has brought him enough?
Among those who came to visit Thales, there were even thirteen distinguished guests from the kingdom’s emperor:
Earl Acheson Ra.s.sia and his eldest son set off from Zedi to visit Prince Thales on behalf of the Ra.s.sia family with the "four-winged monitor" as their family crest. But their father and son are both dull and clumsy. Except for greetings, most of the sentences in the reply do not exceed three words, which makes the conversation unsustainable and the scene is embarra.s.sing. So when a pa.s.sionate banquet song sounded, overshadowing the voice of conversation, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief.
Count Noah Harvey of Yanbi Port in the East China Sea first congratulated the prince on acquiring Xinghu Fort, and also mentioned the relations.h.i.+p between his family and Xinghu: Four centuries ago, his ancestor was the young man of the "Deng Gao King" when he was still in Xinghu Fort. The little servant later entered the royal guard and supported the Church of Sunset and Prince Tormund in the religious war after the death of Eland I. It was reported that Javier was a thousand steps away. The arrow shot and killed the false priest of the temple who claimed to be the incarnation of the sunset in the enemy formation, and won the famous saying "This bow shoots the sun" that shocked the stars. Only after the war was the Earl of Earl handed down the prestigious name of "the bow of the sun".
The Earl of Long Qingdao, who came from the blade leader, and Bruce Schucarder invited Thales to visit Chang Qingdao at some time. Although the sea route is far away, the Earl’s sister, the wife of the late third prince Bancroft, has lived as a widow. For nearly 20 years on the island, if the younger relatives of Ruofu"s family can visit, she must be very happy.
In contrast, the other members of the Star Lake Guard gradually entered the role. Even Miranda left the group of n.o.ble women and began to deal with a group of men who strove for hospitality.
Glover came once and reported to him that everything was normal at the banquet. Rolf in the other corner also signaled "nothing" to him. DD was in the banquet like a fish in water. It is said that a group of people had already gathered and started. Talking about "the two or three things that Prince Thales gave up to protect his family and the country", and the most terrible thing Thales can think of is probably the people in Xinghu Fort are struggling to cope with this carnival atmosphere, and cannot get up the next day. ,
But it is a pity that he is the only one who is not here to enjoy the banquet.
Deposed the Duke.
Destroy Jayne.
Thinking of these two goals, Thales frowned.
Kingdom’s Secret Division hasn’t made a move yet, or rather, he has already made a move, but he doesn’t know, but no matter how the situation develops, Thales’ goal will not change.
"Ah, sister, isn"t this the highness we are thinking of!"
"Yes, sister, it is the one who keeps us dreaming!"
Familiar and terrifying voices sounded one after another, and Thales trembled subconsciously!
Do not.
A coquettish voice sounded from his left back:
"Last time we parted in a hurry..."
Another voice came from the right, very aggressive:
"This meeting, the banquet!"
No, no, no, Thales rubbed his face in pain.
He must admit that at this moment, he really misses Duke Jane who has left.
What the **** are you doing!
You come back soon!
"His Royal Highness, why are you so late?"
A girl with a delicate appearance and a light body, she sits on the left side of Thales with her waist, smiling.
"Leaving our sisters for a while, lonely?"
The other girl has a cold make-up and a sharp haircut. She appeared on his right side with a compelling look.
Tyers rubbed his face vigorously, rubbing out a universal hospitality smile:
"Hi, Kai"Sa, Kina!"
He forced a smile:
"You are so beautiful today! I can"t even look away!"
The well-dressed Kasha and Kina were on the left and the other, their eyes flashed.
They climbed on Thales’ shoulders, leaned back, and whispered to each other behind the prince:
"He said we are beautiful?"
"Can you say something we don"t know?"
"He said he couldn"t look away?"
"Because he didn"t even watch it at all!"
"That," Thales had to say, "You know I can hear you guys?"
But the twin sisters ignored them and continued to whisper behind him:
"Hey, hypocrisy!"
"Oh, man..."
"What should I do?"
"Star him!"
After speaking, the two girls moved to Thales in an instant, and sat side by side. They looked at him with anger and helplessness, but in reality they looked fierce and persecuting.
"Okay," Thales had to surrender, "I mean, Kai"Sa, this dress is great, it looks beautiful, Gina, that, the hairstyle is impressive, and this... War makeup?"
The two girls chuckled, respectively holding two hand fans, blocking the lower half of their face-Kai"Sa"s fan painted her profile portrait, and wrote "Wisdom is on the left, Kai"Sa is also on the left", Kina The other is "The long sword goes to the right, and Kina always doesn"t go to the right."
In addition, the same line of small characters is written under the two fans:
[Elder brother is a fool, stupid to grandma’s house]
Thyls frowned when he saw this.
"The lovely and loving Highness is perfunctory." Kaisha"s eyes blinked on the fan.
"And fl.u.s.tered, disturbed, afraid!" Kina laughed m.u.f.fledly under the fan.
"Actually, he doesn"t need to be afraid."
"Because we didn"t want to do anything to him."
"But what if you really want to do it?"
"Hey, no, sister, there are too many people here..."
"Hehe, I know what you are thinking, you little bad..."
"But I feel excited just thinking about it..."
Thales came back to his senses, looking weird.
But the two girls hid behind the fan and whispered unscrupulously, as if this fan could cut everything off.
"Ah, no, it will play badly..."
"Is he broken or are you broken?"
"Hey, I hate it!"
"You hate it!"
Katha and Kina suddenly felt something in their hearts, they all put down their fans, and their eyes shot straight ahead!
"Dear Highness!"
"Where to go?"
Tyles, who was trying to slip away, stiffened!
Katha came up with a smile:
"Do you have the heart to turn around like this?"
Qina sneered and approached:
"You just turned your head so capriciously?"
"Just wear the clothes we bought..."
"Leave us without looking back, and go forward?"
"Hey! Impolite!"
"No conscience!"
Tyers, who had a headache, quickly denied:
"No, I just... wait, what clothes do you say?"
The prince"s complexion changed drastically.
"That"s right!" Kai"Sa covered her mouth and smiled.
"He knows it!" Kina raised her eyebrows with joy
"Do you like the combination we picked for you?"
"Seven sets!"
Thyls quickly looked down at his suit:
"What? Wait, but it"s not Commutuo who found the Tailor Guild..."
Katha clasped his wrist and blinked:
"exactly!"
Qina grabbed his shoulder and licked his lips:
"How much is right!"
"But behind the Emerald City Tailor"s Guild, whether it is the Weavers and Dyeers" Guild or the Garment Chamber of Commerce..."
"But they all have shares in Karabyan, or co-operate vigorously with Volalling!"
Karabyan’s shares?
That is to say, we...
Thyls figured out something, his face pale.
"It"s not just this one," Kai"Sa exulted, "and your guard!"
"With your men!"
"Business is booming!" Kai"Sa snapped her fingers.
Qina smiled wickedly: "Wealth is coming!"
"No, no," Thales was shocked, and he tugged at his clothes in vain, "This must be a misunderstanding—"
"No misunderstanding, Your Highness!"
"Fair price, customized garments!"
"The materials are full, and the children are not deceived!"
Kasha and Kina grabbed his arm, smiled like a flower, and said in unison:
"You owe us all-two hundred and twenty-four gold coins!"
Two hundred twenty-four...
Gold coins...
At that moment, Thales only felt that there was a basin of cold water pouring down, making him cool from head to toe.
In the next second, Kai"Sa"s eyes are shrewd, while Kina"s eyes are full of greed:
"When will your Highness check out?"
"Thank you for your patronage!"
"How do you want to pay?"
"Of course you can not give it!"
"As long as...hehehe..."
"Ah, sister, you are thinking about bad things again—"
Thyls mechanically turned his head to look around: Mallos, Glover, D.D, Komutto, Paul...Everyone was dressed neatly and looked like a dog.
Let me just say, how can there be such a good thing!
Not right, but...
"But isn"t this sponsored for free?" Thales gritted his teeth.
"Ah, did I hear it wrong? Free?" Kaisha looked at him in surprise.
"His Royal Highness, you, do you want to wear the garments that we have worked so hard to make?" Kina burst into tears.
"You actually have to say, this is our free gift?"
"Oh, so sad, but, but we, Karabyan is just a little earl..."
"The land is small and the people are weak, and the power is weak..."
"The heir to the lord is still a fool..."
"Facing the royal family, what can be done?"
"Presumably everyone would think so..."
Tyers gets more headaches as he listens:
"No, I"m not grabbing your clothes... just trying them on..."
But Kina didn’t listen to him at all: “But sister, what just said: Your Royal Highness robbed us of our clothes?”
Casa"s eyes lit up: "Huh? Grab our clothes...ah, it will cause misunderstanding!"
"That"s right! Then he can"t argue, it"s better to change it to ‘Qiangpa’..."
"Ah, sister, we are really geniuses, spread it out..."
Thyls only felt black before his eyes.
No, it can"t go on like this.
He crossed his arms and waved with all his strength!
"No! In fact, it was me who gave my honor and would wear your products!"
As soon as this statement came out, the expressions of the two sisters changed!
Tales took a breath, gritted his teeth and said:
"After today, your chamber of commerce will be known as the ‘Duke of Xinghu’s Dress Tailor’, and it’s you who profited!"
Tales stared at the two men menacingly.
Ka"Sa and Gina looked at each other, their upper body was still, and weirdly s.h.i.+fted back two steps, and then resumed the whisper that could be heard by Thales:
"Oh, oops, sister, he sees through it!"
"It"s not good, sister, he has a brain!"
"Yes!"
Tels finally found a little bit of confidence: "So, if I say it, the prince hates this dress very much, and it’s uncomfortable to wear..."
"Then your business..." Thales sneered, "Hey, hey, hey!"
The twins change color suddenly.
"Ah, he is very cunning!"
"He is still very sinister!"
"So... you owe me money!"
Tels exhaled and raised his eyebrows, and handed out his palm fiercely: "Two hundred and twenty-four gold coins-thank you for your patronage!"
In the next second, Kai"Sa and Qina were crying again, very pitiful.
"But we are very poor!"
"We have no money!"
Tales had a stalk in his heart.
No, no, this is the usual trick of the devil twins. He has suffered a loss once, and he will never be fooled...
"Wola leads the country and the people are poor..."
"The head of the heir to the lord is not bright yet..."
"Now I owe you money!"
"A big deal!"
Kasha tremblingly said:
"And you forced us to pay back!"
Qina covered her face, sad and wronged:
"Domineering, no beak is allowed!"
Tels feels a headache again.
"Uh, it"s actually not that serious," the prince rubbed his hands, "Let"s do it, this suit is fine, I will send them back tomorrow..."
But the next second, Kai"Sa changed her words:
"So, Your Highness, we can"t afford it..."
Qina showed her eyes from her fingers:
"Then, I can only use other methods of repayment..."
Um? wrong?
Tyles" eyelids twitched.
"His Royal Highness, can I pay for my business debt?"
"Ahem, abbreviated-love?"
Within one second, both Kai"Sa and Kina changed their faces, their eyes gleaming, looking at him expectantly.
"Love compensation?"
"Or meat compensation?"
"It really doesn"t work, we are at a disadvantage... Marriage compensation?"
Tels looked back at them in a daze.
No, no, this...
"Hehe, look at his face, I really want to take a bite..."
"Don"t laugh, be serious! We have to hold on!"
At this moment, a sharp and powerful voice suddenly sounded, as if a hero had fallen from the sky:
"Hey, Your Highness! You are here!"
At that moment, Kai"Sa and Kina"s expressions changed drastically.
Only two black gloved palms appeared accurately from behind the two sisters, pressing their shoulders.
"And you, okay," Miranda appeared from above Kai"Sa and Gina with a smiling face, and then forced a gap downwards, squeezing into the gap between the two sisters, "Ladies of Karabyan! "
Thyls was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, there is a situation where the Revival King saw Nicaru in the Cold Wind Battle:
"Ah! Mira!"
His dear Mira!
On this side, Kai"Sa and Kina trembled, and their faces were full of horror!
"Her lady!"
"Iron Maiden!"
"Reserve Mother!"
"Run!"
The next second, the two sisters turned around tacitly, shaking off their feet!
But Miranda in full costume buckled their shoulders irresistibly and pulled the trembling sisters back.
"Then, Your Highness, two lovely little sisters, what are you talking about?" Neverwinter Sword Cat from Broken Dragon Fortress lowered her waist and asked with a smile.
"Woohoo!"
"Ah!"
"what!"
"Wow!"
Ka"Sa and Kina bit their lip, as if they were about to cry, they wanted to escape Miranda"s restraint.
"Ahem, that Mira..."
Looking at the trembling two sisters, Thales felt that his waist was much harder at this moment:
"They said, we owe them two hundred and twenty-four gold coins."
Miranda gave an "Oh" and looked down with interest.
Kasha and Kina"s face changed.
"No no, my lord!"
"That"s your promotion for us!"
"We owe you!"
"It is our honor!"
They laughed and defended, and looked at Miranda in horror from time to time.
"So they still said," Thales coughed, exuberantly, "We have to repay by other means, such as..."
Miranda let out an "um", her eyes getting more interesting.
"Where is it, Your Highness!"
"We have such a good relations.h.i.+p, we have written off!"
"Karabyan"s family has a small bottom, and it will not start to fluctuate..."
"The heir is still an idiot..."
"Yeah, although I don"t have any big opinions on the last sentence," Mira smiled brilliantly, seeing Thales"s reliability and stability in his eyes, which made him feel at ease. "But since the debt entanglement is so complicated, then we might as well come. Talk? You know, talk between girls?"
Between words, she embraced the two girls without resistance and was intimate.
"Your Highness, do you mind?"
If Thales received an amnesty, he immediately stepped aside:
"of course not."
Kasha and Kina looked at Thales in disbelief:
"That cruel majesty!"
"How willing to take us..."
"Push into the fire pit..."
"Go to the mountain of swords!"
Tales" brain is painful again: how can this be sung?
"Is this sadomasochism?"
"Is this the heartache?"
"But we will only love you more!"
"Until you hug us—hmm!"
"Hmm!"
"Humhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Fortunately, Miranda moved neatly, unquestionably clasped their mouths, and blinked at Thales.
Tales didn’t dare to stay any longer, he checked the gap and slipped out of the main banquet hall.
At that moment, Thales, who ran for freedom, was moved inexplicably:
If he becomes king in the future, the first order is to knight Miranda!
The northern border of the cold fort is all hers!
The black sand collar too!
If you want to marry a few men, just marry a few men!
Women are fine too!
Tails all the way to the observatory with fewer guests, watching the lights of thousands of houses below, and after finis.h.i.+ng the preparations, he waited for the Emerald City to celebrate the Queen’s Day, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are running too fast, your steps should be smaller and natural, otherwise the guests will still find out."
Thyls looked back in shock.
"Little Flower——Jean?"
Under the moonlight, the young master of Kevin Deere, the Duke of the South Bank, the Lord of the Emerald City, and the organizer of the Struggle Banquet, Jayne Kevin Deere was leaning against the corner of the observation platform, looking at him with disdain. he.
"Oh, you are here too-lazy?"
Thales suddenly felt that he was not so alone, at least there was someone else—huh?
Jen still looked dismissively in front of him, but at this time, the young duke was holding a hose in his hand, with a precious bottle connected to one end and a gla.s.s mouth to the other end.
I saw Jane biting one end of the gla.s.s mouth, taking a deep breath, and then starting to vomit clouds.
"Are you-- smoking?"
"Hookah," Jen looked at the Emerald City under the observation deck, and shook the gla.s.s pipe with the hose in his hand, "Have you never seen it?"
Tyers heard a sweet smell of smoke, and quickly shook his hand back:
"No, kid, cough cough, the prince can"t smoke—"
"Don"t be pa.s.sionate, this tobacco leaf is imported from Humbler, and I have no plans to smoke it for you."
Tales was stagnant, and his face went black.
If you push him down from here now...is the task completed?
Thyls thought fiercely, glanced at the railing and protective net of the sighting platform, and looked at the height below.
But you can’t clean up the follow-up-a voice in my heart reminded him:
You are here for this person, what Jann Kevin Deere represents, not for him.
Thales can only regret to give up this idea.
Jane suddenly said:
"They will fight."
"what?"
Tels startled:
"What is fighting?"
Jen pointed to two foreign men who were arguing loudly in the main banquet hall:
"The two men belonged to two tribes on the gra.s.sland, one was the son of Tuda Khan and the other was the grandson of Boga Khan. They were introducing the Seri Prairie in Donglu, but one said it was called Ji Seri, the other said Du Seri."
Tyers squinted his eyes:
"Any questions?"
"problem?"
Jane seems to have heard something funny:
"The name of the gra.s.sland has history: the ancient orcs called it Sediala, which means"infinite gra.s.s", and the ancient elves called it Duvali, which means"withered land". After the conquest of the empire, it was collectively called For the Seri gra.s.sland.
"After the end of the war, the tribe that restored ancient beliefs called it Kisely, which means ‘Father’s Steppe’. The tribe affected by the Temple of the Sun was called Dusery-‘G.o.d’s Steppe".
"And different t.i.tles represent your position."
Zhan En narrowed his eyes:
"A position that is enough to fight to the death with the dissimilar."
Thales frowned.
"It"s a pity," said the prince, "they don"t have the courage to feast on the blood, or at least the intention."
"It has nothing to do with that," Jen shook his head. "The tribes on the gra.s.sland compete with each other. They are destined to face each other. The t.i.tle is just an excuse that happens to cause disagreement."
"As for the blood clan, the Hollier clan is only one of the six feast leaders. The struggle for power on the dark night council has never subsided. Do you think that every vampire in the feast leader is a pacifist?"
"Immortal Council." Thales corrected.
Jean glanced at him, but did not refute or admit it.
He just lowered his head and smoked another hookah.
"You said, no one should suspect that the hostile relations.h.i.+p we have shown during this period of time?" Amidst the clouds and mist, the tone of the Duke of South Bank was a little strange.
Thales raised his eyes.
"From the wine merchant, to the entrance control of the Kongming Palace, to the cost of food and clothing, the rumors in the city, to your people spying on the Emerald City, my people make things difficult for you everywhere-we are like two mad dogs, but Bite each other wherever possible."
"I think so," the prince nodded, "it"s a fake."
In other words, make it true.
Unfortunately, you believe it.
"This night, I did not relax for a moment, waiting for your father"s sudden blow," Jen snorted and put down the hookah, "Guess, what did I find?"
"Uh," Thales was observant, "Nothing?"
"Exactly," Jen nodded, his eyes dimmed, "This banquet is very lively and normal."
Moon goes to transit, a lot of time has pa.s.sed, but the atmosphere of the banquet seems to increase unabated.
Very lively.
is normal.
"And soon, the zero is coming," Jaen stared at a expensive and expensive clock in the distance, "The feast of battle will end at this point."
Thales was lost in thought.
"But," the prince shrugged: "But the Emerald Festival lasts for seven days, isn"t it?"
Jean watched him for a long time.
"Yes, seven days."
The Duke nodded.
"Therefore, we are like two dogs in a slaughterhouse, while leaning on fighting to avoid threats, while shaking with anxiety," Jen took another snorkel and sneered, "Waiting for the one on the head The butcher knife fell."
"Seven days."
Tales stared at Jen, and suddenly understood something.
The other party came here to smoke, not without reason.
At that moment, Thales looked at the young man smoking a hookah silently on the lookout, and thought for the first time that he might not only be the Duke of South Bank with boundless beauty.
At this moment, the two prairie visitors in the banquet hall finally fought, causing chaos.
