In order to celebrate the return of Pluto and the great victory of the human camp against the dark camp, the Vergara family held a luxurious dinner to reward the triumphant heroes.
There is no doubt that Ren is the protagonist tonight, the most handsome boy.
In order to wait for him, the banquet was postponed until today, otherwise it could have started the day before yesterday.
Pluto will not attend the dinner party, this is not his style, and the damage caused by the Thunder of Law cannot be completely healed in a few days.
Eight o'clock in the evening, downtown, Poseidon Hotel.
The house was full of distinguished guests, and a great gathering of celebrities.
A group of princes, nobles, rich and famous people appeared in luxurious attires. There were many people. In addition to the nobles from Pearl City and the North Sea Islands, there were also many people from the Northland countries and independent city-states.
It can be said that tonight's banquet has brought together most of the human elites in the northern region of the continent.
Ren got out of the carriage and looked at the well-dressed nobles and the graceful and elegant ladies. Suddenly, something moved in his heart and he complained:
"According to the common routines in movies, TV shows, and novels, something will definitely happen at such a banquet."
Speaking from experience, he has attended many banquets, and the bigger the occasion, the more likely things will go wrong.
Anna gently pulled up the skirt of her dress, got out of the carriage, and rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop the crow's mouth."
She was a little tired recently because she was either driving on a bumpy road or fighting, and now she just wanted to relax.
Although she felt that Ren's words made sense...
Demons like to cause trouble at human dinner parties. The blood and souls of nobles are their favorite. They can also steal the show and satisfy their chaotic and bloodthirsty nature more than killing ordinary civilians.
However, the risk factor is also high, and it is easy to die without a complete body.
Ren held the hand of his female companion, came to the door of the hotel, and walked onto the red carpet.
The banquet hall is spacious, bright and resplendent, with gorgeous crystal lamps and incense candles intertwining with splendid brilliance. The tables covered with white tablecloths are neatly arranged, and the silver tableware and utensils sparkle under the light, showing luxury.
Seeing the two people coming in, the city owner, Mr. Fabre, immediately came to greet them. His old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he greeted them with greetings and compliments from time to time.
After chatting for a moment, he picked up a glass of red wine and said loudly in front of everyone:
"Your Highness Renne, thank you very much for your help. You are the most distinguished guest of the Vergara family. May our friendship be as bright as the stars!"
"May our friendship last forever and shine like the stars!"
Ren smiled and clinked a glass with him, said perfunctorily, and drank the red wine in one gulp.
He actually has no airs about him.
If others have a good attitude, his attitude will not be bad. On the contrary, if others are sarcastic and sarcastic towards him, he will also be angry.
Then, Ren and Anna separated and went to their respective circles.
The maid went to Miss Paraya's place and chatted with a group of ladies and ladies.
These women are almost all queens, princesses, dukes, and daughters of marquis families. Ordinary women simply cannot squeeze into this circle.
Anna was able to handle this kind of situation with ease. After all, she was once the empress of a country. Her conversation and behavior were impeccable. Her appearance and peerless elegance, which brought disaster to the country and the people, even made many queens and princesses feel ashamed.
Well, he has successfully gained the envy, jealousy and hatred of many women, and even made some gentlemen unable to take their eyes away and almost lost their composure.
Renn moved to the center circle of the banquet hall.
There are even fewer people here, only a dozen or so. Except for the Calamity Sword Master, Captain Richard, Speaker Daniel, and Elder Nine Stars, there are only some kings from powerful northern countries who are qualified to stand here.
Ren didn't participate in the conversation for the time being. He came to the dining table and tasted the food leisurely.
Especially the seafood eight delicacies soup, which is cooked with the meat of a beast-level golden crab as the main ingredient, and the taste is wonderful.
Seeing him enjoying his meal, no one came to disturb him.
The identity gap is too big. Even if someone wants to get close, they would go to Anna first.
A king from a large country in the north said worriedly:
"The situation in the Kingdom of Faloran is not optimistic. The war is getting more intense. Several saints have died. Fortunately, the demons also suffered heavy losses."
"Yes, the war is becoming more and more bloody and cruel. Some time ago, the ghoul Duke Marcus held a feast of gluttony ceremony and was promoted to the Archduke of Darkness. He sacrificed tens of thousands of innocent civilians and prisoners on the front line. It was so crazy!"
One king sighed.
Marcus, the Dark Lord, did not remain arrogant for long. His behavior angered Emperor Charlemagne, and he was slapped to death by the Emperor.
The Demon Lord Samael immediately retaliated and wanted to kill the Gun Demon who was fighting on the front line. Fortunately, Director Carl was also on the front line at the time and saved the Gun Demon.
This conflict has made the two camps increasingly tense.
If it weren't for some considerations, Faluolan would have been killed long ago, and the blood would flow like a river.
As a result, the situation in the Northland also began to be turbulent.
Speaker Daniel said: "This time the Demon King suffered such a big loss in Beihai, the dark camp will definitely take revenge, and the Northland will no longer be safe."
Even if Hades hadn't been there, the dark camp would have immediately blood-sacrificed several towns in retaliation. They always seek revenge.
Captain Richard said with a serious face:
"Where is the safe place now? Faloran is only the first to bear the brunt. Sooner or later, the war will spread across the entire continent."
"The war in Faloran allowed the demons to collect a lot of sacrifices. More dark monarchs are about to awaken. They are also trying to awaken some very ancient existences."
Elder Jiuxing dropped another piece of bad news.
The background of the demon camp is unfathomable.
Some ancient evil beings slept for thousands of years without knowing that the dark camp had lost its hegemony on the continent.
The places where they sleep are usually very hidden and difficult to find.
But after the defeat of the Fourth Era, the demons have been looking for traces of these ancient existences. Now more than a thousand years have passed, and the gains are not small.
Upon hearing this, Ren immediately thought of Palmer, the ancestor of the vampire Laisheng clan.
No wonder that old antique suddenly woke up. It seems that the dark camp has been doing this kind of thing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing the dull atmosphere, Speaker Daniel smiled and said:
"Everyone, don't be pessimistic. Let's talk about something lighter. At least we won this time."
Everyone nodded.
The Calamity Sword Master slowly cut the roast goose with a knife and fork, glanced at Captain Richard opposite, and asked:
"Has your saint been crowned? Why haven't you seen the news?"
The coronation ceremony of the Saint was originally scheduled for mid-October, and he was invited to Farolland to watch the ceremony, but he could not go because of the outbreak of the Beihai incident.
What puzzled him was that it was almost November and there was no news about the coronation of the saint in the newspapers.
Captain Richard looked a little embarrassed and said:
"Well, there was an accident and the time was delayed. When you came to Beihai, I didn't inform you that you didn't have to go."
Kate fell into the sea of holy power and has not woken up. Otherwise, he would have gone back to prepare for the coronation ceremony and would not have time to stay in the North for a feast.
Speaker Daniel was a little surprised and said: "Very serious?"
"No, it's a small problem." Captain Richard said perfunctorily, feeling a little worried.
If Kate fails, everything will have to start over again, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Ren frowned when he heard this and opened the contact platform.
Renn: [How are you doing over there? Can you hear me?]
Artoria: [It’s okay, it will take a lot of time to defeat the brands of the saints of the past and digest their power. Transferring the power of faith is even more difficult.]
Renn: [As long as it’s okay, don’t force it.]
Artoria: [I know, send less messages, I'm very busy here.]
The inheritance of the saint is spiritual communication and synchronization. The candidate saint communicates with the brand of a certain saint, and slowly receives her knowledge, experience and residual power.
But Artoria didn't do that.
She had to accommodate them all, and it was impossible for her to communicate and synchronize with more than twenty saints at the same time, so he could only choose to defeat their imprints.
If she were to fight alone, almost no saint in the past could be her opponent, but now that they were swarming her, she felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, there were several female kings among the saints in the past, and even if they were branded after death, they were not easy to mess with.
Now Artoria is fighting over twenty people in the spiritual inheritance space, and has killed nine saints. The progress is getting faster and faster...
"Ren."
Seeing that Ren had almost eaten, Captain Richard came over and said with a smile, "Where is Nana? Why didn't you see her?"
Renn glanced at him in surprise and said, "You have something to do with her?"
Captain Richard rubbed his hands and hesitated:
"Well, this... Well, I'm just a little curious about her situation, age and bloodline."
Ren misunderstood the way he looked like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken. He looked at him with strange eyes and said:
"Are you interested in her?"
"That's right."
"Damn, you beast! She's still a little girl, and you won't let her go even if she's a minor."
"..."
Captain Richard:[○?‘Д′?○]
Gan, that’s not what he meant at all!
Captain Richard suddenly found that everyone around him was looking at him with shock and contempt, especially the ladies nearby, who looked at him as if they were looking at a pervert who smelted copper.
o(╥﹏╥)o
It's over, a lifetime of fame has been ruined.
Captain Richard's face darkened, he glared at Renn fiercely, and almost yelled: "That's not what I meant!"
Ren's face was expressionless: "Then what do you mean?"
Captain Richard hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I just want to ask Nana if she... is interested in becoming a saint."
puff!
Ren suddenly spit out the red wine from his mouth and sprayed it onto...the leader's face.
It wasn't intentional, anyone asked him to stand in front of him.
Captain Richard:(????)
Damn it, is it so funny?
Ren held his stomach and twitched a few times. When he saw the leader looking like he wanted to kill someone, he was afraid that the leader would become angry and fight him desperately, so he suppressed his laughter and his face turned red.
With all due respect, it was really funny.
He never expected that the group leader would say this.
Can Nana be a saint?
She's pretty much the Dragon Witch.
Captain Richard stretched out his hand to wipe the drink from his face. His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Regardless of the strange looks from others, he dragged Ren to the corner of the hall.
"Okay, please give me a message."
"Do you think Nana can be a saint?"
"Of course, a woman, a king, and a glorious force fully meet the requirements of a saint."
"..."
Ren choked for a moment and understood what the leader was thinking.
The cheap sister fell into the sea of holy power and was unable to wake up. The church was a little anxious and wanted to get a spare tire, so it focused on Nana, who had become famous recently.
Ren said: "Don't you know Kate is my cousin?"
Captain Richard said seriously:
"I know, she is of course the best candidate for a saint. We have tried our best to train her, but something unexpected happened and the people at the Holy See headquarters couldn't sit still."
The saint must be selected quickly, as this is related to the future of the church.
Meredith was promoted to Blood God, Hades returned, and the Sky Sword Master became a god... These events greatly stimulated the higher-ups of the church.
Even the Pope couldn't sit still.
The Holy See is preparing to significantly advance their plan for canonization to cope with this unprecedented wave, and an excellent saint is necessary.
Because they are the Church of the Goddess of Light, if they are to be conferred as a god, it must be a woman, and they must follow the new god route, at least forming the priesthood of "light". Otherwise, it will cause a serious crisis of faith and even lead to a split in the church.
The church is anxious and hopes that the saint will be as powerful as possible.
Nana, female, king, radiant force, this completely meets the conditions.
Renn discovered that the leader was not joking, and realized the urgency of the church. The Beihai incident may have caused great irritation to the church.
As the largest religion in the world, the church used to be second only to the natural school in strength.
But now, the Church without the True God, to put it harshly, is about to fall out of the first-class ranks. It is not as good as the Natural School, not as good as the Feuerbach family, not as good as the Demon Hunter Association, and even not as good as the Vergara family with Pluto at its command...
…
They are anxious.
Thinking of this, Renn deeply realized what a huge impact the "North Sea Incident" had on the various forces and structures in Saigon mainland.
The undercurrent is turbulent.
But Renn didn't panic. He was already a giant, and his background was even more amazing, so he could still talk and laugh happily, saying:
"But Nana is a dragon, how can she be a saint?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as she has the appearance of a human. For gods, race is nothing. The key is the priesthood and position."
Captain Richard said.
The Holy See has indeed set its sights on Nana. She is still young and is easier to train or brainwash.
"Ren, please believe in the sincerity of the church. We have no ill intentions. If you are worried, you can visit her from time to time."
"Let's not mention this for now, but where is my sister?"
"..."
Captain Richard was silent for a moment and said helplessly, "She is accepting the inheritance. We cannot interfere. Now we can only leave it to fate."
Ren rolled his eyes.
If he hadn't known that Cheap Sister was still safe, he would have gone to the church headquarters with a knife.
"There is no need to mention this matter until the inheritance is over."
"What if..."
"Are you cursing my sister for failure?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that. It would be better if Kate succeeded." Captain Richard explained hurriedly.
"You'd better think this way, if something happens to my sister, you can't bear the consequences." Ren snorted, turned and left.
"well."
Captain Richard looked at his back with a look of helplessness.
Tired.
He is just an errand boy, why should he suffer this kind of crime?
At half past ten in the evening, the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, and some nobles began to disperse.
Renn guessed wrong, nothing happened tonight, no demons jumped out to cause trouble.
This made him a little disappointed.
"Yes, Pluto is in the city, who dares to cause trouble?"
Ren muttered and prepared to leave.
Miss Praya stopped him. She was wearing a backless, low-cut evening dress. Her snow-white skin and the white hemisphere on her chest were particularly alluring. She smiled and said:
"Leave now? The nightlife has just begun."
Ren was very disrespectful: "You are not my type."
Miss Palaya rolled her eyes at him, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for him to look towards the stairs on the second floor of the hotel.
There are many men and women gathering there. Instead of going home, they will spend the night in hotel rooms. Adults know what they are doing.
"You can choose another woman. Tonight, more than a hundred women gave me spare keys."
Miss Praya raised her red lips slightly and waved a few bunches of keys in front of him, "You can choose these at will, you can take seven or eight."
"..."
Ladies are so open-minded.
"No need."
"Ren, you really don't understand taste."
Miss Praya shook her head and leaned into Ren's ear, "Just now, Captain Richard, Speaker Daniel, and the Calamity Sword Master all took the keys from me. Don't expect them to leave here openly. They will definitely have to leave in the middle of the night.
Came back secretly.
By the way, Captain Richard took two keys."
"Two handfuls?"
"Well, two women are still sisters."
"..."
Wren: (￣△￣;)
I didn’t find that you are such a group leader.
Ren admitted that he felt a little itchy at this moment. What is a king?
If you go to any high-society banquet, you will be madly pursued by ladies and ladies. You can turn over half of them.
Renn pushed away the key that Miss Praya handed over, turned around and left.
"No need, women will only affect the speed at which I draw the sword."
Praya: "..."
(￢_￢;), if you hadn’t been looking at my chest just now, I would have almost believed it.
There is a lustful heart but no lustful courage.
Ren came outside the hotel. The wind was very cool at night, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
The lights on the street were dim, and a woman came towards me.
Her body exudes youthful vitality, and a garland of roses and poppies hangs around her creamy snow-white neck. She descends into the world like a witch, weaving a web of love with her soft eyes, leaving every man stunned and unable to extricate himself.
