Chapter 85 From moving bricks to becoming invincible
Tonight, the Brave Mansion is like a torch in the dark night, attracting the attention of powerful people from all walks of life.
The Witcher Association organized this dinner in the name of Archduke Conor.
It seemed like an ordinary social banquet, but from the beginning, the atmosphere in Dune City was a little subtle.
The starry sea that had been covering the sky disappeared, and the long-lost night fell, dark and deep, with only a lone moon releasing its cold white brilliance.
Without Charlemagne's territorial blockade and suppression, Dune City would look like a naked beauty at first glance, unprotected from the demons and monsters in the dark, attracting covetation and covetation.
Gonzalez, the current head of the Knights Templar, took an invitation and went to the banquet on time.
He has a tall and straight figure, a tough face, and a pair of bright blue eyes, giving people a majestic, masculine and upright feeling.
The ladies and ladies on the red carpet at the entrance of the hall were attracted by his temperament, looked at him frequently, and whispered about him.
"Look, it's Captain Gonzalez. He has been practicing hard in seclusion in the church during this period. Now that he is out of seclusion, his strength must have improved again."
"Didn't you see the vision of holy light above the church two days ago? This is a sign that the Paladin's domain has touched the King's Gate."
"With such strength at such a young age, his future achievements may exceed those of his teacher. He has a bright future."
"So handsome, he seems to be unmarried yet..."
"You little prodigal, are you trying to seduce others?"
"Go away, you are the one, your eyes are almost growing on me."
The ladies laughed teasingly, some of them had fiery eyes, like predators.
Gonzalez:( ̄_ ̄)
This is why he doesn't like to attend banquets very much. It's very unfriendly for single men.
He can't say anything yet, it's impossible to argue with a group of women, right?
In this turbulent war era, strong men will be very popular, and strong and outstanding single men will be crazily sought after by ladies and ladies.
Women are naturally strong-willed and relatively insecure.
Among aristocratic women in this world, this psychological characteristic is even more obvious.
At this time, the ladies and ladies no longer cared about their reserve. Many of them took the initiative to greet Captain Gang, with seductive eyes and passionate enthusiasm.
As soon as Gonzalez entered the banquet hall, he was entangled by some unmarried aristocratic women who took the initiative. He maintained an awkward yet polite smile on his face and was unable to get away for a while.
He understands why women are so passionate and have no love. They just want to find stability in the precarious war years.
He regretted not getting married.
If he was married, at least these women wouldn't pester him so blatantly.
But he can't forget Helen...
"A rare visitor."
At this time, Rosemary, the execution witch who was responsible for receiving distinguished guests, came over and said with a smile, "Captain Gonzalez, you are here."
After all, it is a dinner organized by the Witcher Association. When seeing distinguished guests in trouble, they naturally want to help out.
Gonzalez took the opportunity to get rid of the ladies who were pestering him. He held the invitation in his hand and smiled politely:
"The Archduke Connaught personally invited me, so of course I have to come."
Rosemary looked at the golden invitation in Captain Gang's hand, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
All the invitations were made by several of her men, and she was sure that there were no gold-covered invitations.
Moreover, according to Gonzalez, the invitation in his hand was handwritten by Vice President Ren.
What's going on, His Highness Renn specifically showed his kindness to Captain Gonzalez?
No, not to mention Gonzalez, even his teacher Richard, the old regiment commander, is not worthy of such treatment by the commander.
But it is certain that Gonzalez is the guest that the leadership focuses on.
These thoughts flashed through the mind of "Execution Witch" Rosemary. It is not easy for a woman to become a female saint. She is also an exquisite woman. The smile on her face became more enthusiastic and she said:
"Please follow me, your location is on the third floor."
After saying that, she took the initiative to lead the way, without even bothering to greet other guests.
Gonzalez felt that this female titled demon hunter was quite enthusiastic. Could it be that she also fell in love with him?
Unfortunately, he only likes Helen.
"Captain Gonzalez, congratulations, you have triggered a vision of the sea of holy power. The king can look forward to it."
At this time, Carlos the Gunman came over from behind and said with a faint smile, "Your teacher, Captain Richard, can finally retire in peace."
This is a bit weird.
Everyone knows that Captain Richard was completely disgraced by the Sky Sword Master and resigned early, so that Gonzalez took over as the leader of the Knights Templar a hundred years early.
This also created a history.
Captain Oka was at the peak of the lower saints at that time and was the weakest Templar leader in history.
Gonzalez glanced at the gun ghost and said calmly:
"There is nothing wrong with abdicating the throne and retiring in peace. Just like Charlemagne, he can take things up and put them down."
The scar of red fruit.
Carlos, the gun ghost, had a cold look in his eyes and said with a smile:
"Indeed, His Majesty has always been a person who can take things up and put them down, so now he has regrouped and the king has returned. I wonder if your teacher, the old leader Richard, has adjusted his mentality in these years?
He had competed with the Sword Master of the Sky back then.
Now that the Sky Sword Master has aspired to be the Sword God, I wonder when the old leader will raise his throne to the throne?"
These words not only opened the scars, but also poured salt into the wounds. It was really a slap in the face.
Gonzalez could no longer maintain the dull expression on his face, his eyes were cold, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
Damn it, this bastard!
The current situation is indeed a bit of a slap in the face for the church.
Charlemagne was forced to fake his own death and abdicate, and he was depressed for a while, but now the king has returned with earth-shattering strength.
His contest with Archduke Conor was witnessed by many people.
According to the views of some kings, even if Charlemagne did not rely on the mythical weapons left by his ancestors, he was still a strong man in the first echelon below the giants.
Looking at the entire church, apart from the pope, only the presiding judge can confront the normal Charlemagne.
The disbandment of the Fire Dragon Knights did not have much impact on the Kingdom of Faroran. Carl the Butcher, Carlos the Gun Ghost, Alex the Axe, Kelvin the Ghost and others learned their shame and became brave. Now,
Almost all of them have passed through the sanctuary level.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Butcher even broke through the sky and became a king.
The mysterious and unpredictable Night Girl in the prophecy has also returned...
Now Farrowland can compete with the Church in terms of high-end power, and its rise is too fast.
Fortunately, the ancestor of the Clement family has died of old age, otherwise Farrowland, whose national power has greatly increased, may have to settle old scores with the church.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger and stronger, the execution witch Rosemary immediately squeezed into the middle, teased Liu Hai with her fingers, and said with a bright smile:
"You two, if you have anything to discuss, we can discuss it later. Don't keep the guests waiting."
She actually had a headache too.
Carlos the Gunfighter is a member of the Fire Dragon Knights. He is still holding on to the shame of the past. Now that he meets the leader of the Templar Knights, it's hard to get along harmoniously.
"snort!"
Carlos snorted coldly, strode forward, and took the initiative to distance himself.
The devil has made a comeback, so it is not appropriate to fight among ourselves. A few taunts will suffice.
Captain Gang lost his smile, his eyes were cold, and he didn't speak again.
There was some worry in his heart.
At present, the power of the church + the imperial nobles can barely suppress Faloran, but it will be hard to say in the future.
If the Lady of the Night ascends to the throne of God, the situation will be dire. With Charlemagne's character, he will definitely settle old scores. Even if the powerful countries cannot fight among themselves at this time, he will severely humiliate the church.
For example, tit for tat, forcing the Knights Templar to disband...
As for Archduke Connaught, who promised to support the church, I'm afraid he can't be counted on either.
Would he hit his own woman?
Maybe the girl of the night would blow the pillow and he would forget all about his cousin and the promise.
Being interrupted like this, Captain Gonzalez became a little bit in a bad mood and worried. He didn't come back to his senses until he followed Rosemary into the private room on the third floor.
"Good evening, Mr. Gonzalez."
"Captain, I haven't seen you for a while, you look even better than before."
Inside the private room is a large round table made of nanmu with a three-layer structure. The table tops on each layer can be rotated freely. There is a vase in the center of the top layer, and a group of dark red roses are blooming enthusiastically.
The round table is large and can seat 30 people. At this time, most of the seats are full.
Gonzales glanced casually and found that the people sitting here were all prominent figures in Di Lamo County.
Either a saint or a temple-level transcendent with a strong background and connections, a master is not qualified to serve on the table.
But Archduke Connaught has not arrived yet.
Gonzalez exchanged a few polite words with everyone, glanced at Carlos, the gunman sitting on his left, and sat down as well.
Time passes minute by minute.
At a quarter past eight, Renne arrived belatedly.
He was wearing a demon hunting suit, a black trench coat and black trousers. He looked energetic and capable, with flowing black hair and piercing blue eyes.
Rosemary quickly stood up, pulled out the chair, and let the leader sit down.
"Salute to you, Your Highness Renn."
Captain Gonzalez, Carlos the Gunman, Earl Wilton and other guests all stood up, placed their right palm lightly on their chest and heart, bowed slightly and saluted.
This is a courtesy to the king.
The ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping had long been abolished by the Sun King and regarded as rubbish. Therefore, even if the tenant farmers met the emperor of the empire, they would only bow a few times at most.
Ren waved his hand casually and said, "You're welcome, please sit down."
Everyone sat down.
Rosemary immediately ordered the maid to serve the food, picked up the red wine, and poured a glass for the leader first.
Ren sat in the main seat and looked around, finding many familiar faces.
Captain Oka and Gunman Carlos need no introduction, they are old acquaintances.
There was Count Ange who was pale and sitting on pins and needles.
Next to him is the 8th Earl of Wilton, who has just succeeded to the throne and is still a little green. The two are leaders of the Faroland Southern Nobles Alliance.
A mature girl with long burgundy hair, her pupils are green, her delicate face is slightly enchanting, her black hollow backless evening dress wraps her graceful figure, the neckline is very low, and her white outline is thrilling
.
The red-haired girl was looking at Ren with a smile, her eyes rippling and her eyes as charming as silk.
This is Lady Ellie, the widow of a certain baron, a veritable black widow who poisoned her husband to death for power.
She has cooperated with Thorn Security Company several times, was once threatened by Ren for taking nude photos, and did some dirty work for him.
Now this femme fatale seems to be doing very well. She has broken through from the third level peak to the fourth level peak, and seems to have hope for the holy realm.
"Good evening, uncle."
The first person to say hello was a young man.
He has an angular Chinese character face, an unshaven beard, and a resolute face. There are large and small double gears on the black warrior coat, and a pattern composed of five silver light cones on the barrel. This is the logo of the Steam Alliance.
Ren was startled for a moment, stared at him, and said, "Are you... Alfred?"
"Justice" Alfred is one of the most famous young geniuses in the Steam Alliance.
Speaker Daniel, the king-level powerhouse who appeared in Beihai, was his grandfather.
Alfred nodded and said with a friendly smile: "Send hello to Princess Kesha for me."
"Say hello to Princess Lydia for me," Ren responded politely.
Naturally, the Nokman Empire has more than one princess. Princess Lydia is Kesha's sister. She married to the Silver Eagle Federation five years ago and is Alfred's wife.
Therefore, Ren and Alfred are "brother-in-law", so they can just call each other brother-in-law (brother-in-law).
The relationship network of a top wealthy family is very complex and intricate.
Ever since Ren married Valkyrie, there have been more and more random relatives. If he wanted to build a relationship, he could find relatives in many countries on the Saigon continent.
He met many distant relatives on his way to Beihai.
Everyone looked at Alfred in surprise, not expecting him to have such a relationship with Archduke Conor.
It's just that there are too many members in a large noble family, and the marriage relationship is extremely complicated. If the person involved doesn't take the initiative to mention it, others may not be able to think of it.
"I have a lot of acquaintances today. I'm very happy to see you all. I won't go home until I'm drunk."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Renn tapped his finger on the table and grinned.
Mrs. Ellie looked at this strange yet familiar young man with a charming smile, raised her wine glass, and said:
"It's been a long time since I saw you. Your style is even better than before, which makes me admire and admire you even more."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were a little subtle.
What do you mean? These two people also know each other? Are they having an affair?
Looking at the graceful and charming Lady Ellie, and at the hot-blooded Archduke Connaught, everyone imagined the passionate love affair between the lonely and pretty widow and the handsome young man.
I must have done this before, right?
From now on, my attitude towards Mrs. Ellie will change, and I will try not to offend her as much as possible.
Renn glared at Mrs. Ally, feeling a little unhappy.
This femme fatale definitely did it on purpose. She knew that he had never touched her, but she said this deliberately to take advantage of his influence.
Alfred looked at Archduke Connaught, his brother-in-law, and his lips moved but he stopped talking.
Renn caught his strange look, a little embarrassed, and said with strong mental power:
"Brother-in-law, I misunderstood. I love my wife very much. I and Ai Li were just business friends before and I have never touched her."
Alfred: "..."
(一`′一), don’t explain it, I believe it.
You and Mrs. Ellie are innocent.
You have not slept with Countess Anna.
You and the Girl of the Night have a pure relationship between a man and a woman.
Poor Princess Kesha, she has only been married for a few months, and her husband has already had a lot of women outside, and he may even have illegitimate children.
Ren found that he couldn't clean himself up after jumping into the Yellow River. His brother-in-law looked at him with distrust in his eyes, as if he was looking at a scumbag.
‘Are you satisfied now?!’
When Mrs. Ai Li heard the message, she was still smiling, with fiery eyes, staring straight at Mr. Lei, as if waiting for his punishment.
Come on, little man, you can do whatever you want.
Ren didn't look at her and changed the subject:
"Everyone, if you have anything you want to say, you can say it freely."
"Dear Your Highness Ren."
Earl Ange spoke. He had offended Mr. Lei before, and the offense was quite serious. He was very panicked and said tremblingly, "We had some misunderstandings before. It was my fault. I would like to express my deepest apology to you."
He really doesn't want to come to this dinner.
But he was a local snake here and had to come. At this time, he could only apologize in a low voice.
Ren glanced at it and said calmly:
"It's all over, Count Ange, we have already reached an understanding, haven't we?"
Back in the Red Dragon Palace, Count Ange offered the core inheritance of his family - the secret cultivation method of "Thunder and Light Dou Qi" to resolve grievances. He accepted it and then forgot about this enemy.
In a word, the minor characters are no longer eye-catching.
Queen Katie's concubine, Earl Ange, breathed a sigh of relief and said with an apologetic smile:
"I feel relieved when you say that. Your Excellency has a lot, but I am too narrow-minded and suspicious."
Seeing such a humble Count Ange, many people present were obviously shocked.
Is this the majesty of a king?
Earl Ange is one of the largest nobles in the southern part of the Kingdom of Falorland. When facing the Grand Duke Conor, he is so humble. He is treated as a fart, and he even praises the fart as a good one. It smells so good.
…
Having settled some old grudges, Ren smiled brighter, looked at Captain Gonzalez, and said: "Captain Gonzalez, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your demeanor is even better than before. I have always wanted to visit you, but I just didn't have the chance."
Such enthusiasm made Captain Oka confused. He quickly smiled and responded:
"No, no, compared to you, we people are just mediocre people who have wasted our time."
"Don't say that, you are my idol."
Ren had a warm smile on his face and said, "I was still a country boy when I first came to the city, but I grew up listening to your legendary stories and have always regarded you as a role model."
Everyone looked confused.
Which episode is this from? How did you manage to blow up Captain Gonzalez so well?
Gonzalez also looked confused and stammered: "Ah this..."
Are you trying to flatter him? Why?
Ren smiled and put his arm around Captain Gang's shoulders and said:
"You are a grassroots genius who came out of a remote rural area. Coincidentally, so am I. I heard that you started your career by moving bricks on a construction site after entering the city. I was so inspired that I also went to the construction site of Bu Shen City to move bricks. As soon as I moved
Just over two months.”
Everyone: "..."
Is this really true? It turns out that the newspaper was not making it up.
Gonzalez: “…”
Σ(°△°|||)︴Shocked, surprised, confused.
Ren put his arm around Captain Gang's shoulders, smiled warmly, and said:
"Captain, thanks to you. If it weren't for your rise from just moving bricks that has always inspired me, I might have given up halfway and wouldn't be here today...
You don’t know how excited I was when I learned from the newspaper that you killed Prince Milo to pieces. I wanted to go to the St. Joan Empire to get your autograph right away, but the travel expenses were too expensive, so I didn’t go...
"
Ren started to brag about Captain Gang, like a crazy fan, who knew the Captain's deeds by heart.
Mrs. Ellie: "..."
Carlos the Gun Ghost: "..."
Count Ange: "..."
other people:"……"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
What's going on? It feels so strange.
Captain Gonzalez was also dizzy after hearing this. He felt that he had gained more face. He subconsciously puffed up his chest and felt that something was wrong.
Ren looked at Rosemary, waved his hand and said:
"Go, take out the thousand-year hellfire treasured by the association and entertain the leader."
The execution witch looked confused, but she was very obedient and immediately ran to the wine cellar and took out a two-liter bottle of hard liquor in a crystal bottle.
"Hellfire" spirit is one of the most precious and powerful spirits in the world.
Thousand-year hellfire can even make a king drunk. This bottle is worth ten thousand gold.
Normally many saints would not be so extravagant.
Ren unscrewed the cork, poured out the bubbling hellfire liquor that was as scarlet as magma, raised the glass, and said loudly:
"Come on, leader, let me toast you."
Captain Gang dazedly picked up the wine glass, clinked it with him, and drank the strong drink.
Cup after cup.
After drinking strong alcohol, Captain Gonzalez's face turned red and his consciousness began to blur. He let go of his arrogance and drank heavily with Archduke Conor. Finally, he talked about his deeds of moving bricks...
He was so drunk that he didn't notice that Ren had taken off the jade pendant on the sword hilt at his waist.
Ren held the jade pendant in his left hand and kept pouring wine into the captain. The jade pendant on the sword hilt trembled slightly and glowed red, but unfortunately no one saw it.
