As the leader and commander who defeated the White Whale and also the two Sin Archbishops, Curio naturally wanted to hold a grand celebration banquet.
This is not only to comfort all the soldiers who participated in the war, but also to highlight their own achievements and enhance the prestige of their own camp.
As invitation letters were sent out, a few days later, the celebration dinner started as scheduled.
However, it was said to be a celebration banquet, but in fact, among the attendees, members of the expedition team only accounted for a small part, and most of the rest were prominent figures in Lugnica.
Even members of the Council of Sages who temporarily manage the country participated. After all, Curio is not only the head of Duke Carlsten's family, but also one of the five candidates for the king's election.
Her achievements in defeating the White Whale and the Archbishop of Sin brought her reputation as a king to its peak in one fell swoop, almost surpassing the sum of the other four people.
Of course, this also led to the big shots taking turns to come to Kurxiu, talk to him, toast him, and shower him with all kinds of compliments.
Although Cruxiu didn't like this kind of flattery in her heart, she also knew that this kind of social interaction was inevitable. Fortunately, she had been in this kind of environment since she was a child, so she was able to do it with ease.
At this moment, Xia Yu, dressed in formal attire, was sitting silently on the edge of the social center, tasting the delicacies of the dinner and looking at the various social crowds with relish like an audience.
In addition to Priscilla's camp and Felt's camp, the remaining three candidate camps sent people to attend this dinner.
After all, they are all cooperating in the fight against the White Whale. They can be said to be comrades-in-arms. There is no sympathy for each other, but at least they will not be hostile to each other now.
Looking at Emilia's camp, Natsuki Subaru was clumsily inviting Emilia to dance. Xia Yu shook his head and chuckled.
Fortunately, this is a different world. If he were in his original world, Natsuki Subaru would be assigned the hat of a smiling licking dog.
"It's great to be young."
After sighing like a lonely old man, Xia Yu took his wine glass, stood up and left the place.
The dinner was held in the mansion, so the banquet was held from the hall to the second floor. After wandering around on the second floor for a while, Xia Yu came to the balcony on the second floor.
Because the dinner party was in full swing at the moment, there was no one else on the balcony and it seemed a bit deserted.
Xia Yu just wanted to get some air, so he didn't leave. Instead, he blew the night wind and enjoyed the tranquility of the night.
"What are you doing here, are you planning to catch an innocent little sister?"
Suddenly, a slightly frivolous voice sounded, and a figure who looked handsome at first glance, but even more handsome upon closer inspection, walked up to Xia Yu with a plate of desserts.
The appearance of the two people is completely different, but if you look closely, you will find that their temperaments are very similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.
"Why did you come to the balcony? Why don't you continue to be your social terror?"
Xia Yu rolled his eyes at a certain Ashes and promised to invite Ashes to the celebration banquet, so he didn't break his promise.
But soon, he regretted it, because Ashes Xia Yu was not from this world, so he let himself go directly at the celebration banquet, and turned on the social terror mode during the banquet, which is called social terrorist mode.
Xia Yu couldn't bear to look at Hui Jin's social fear mode, so he could only pretend not to recognize him and run away in a hurry.
If someone discovered that he had brought the ashes, he felt that he would just smash a crack in the ground and get in.
"Exactly." Hui Jin curled his lips in displeasure, took the wine glass in Xia Yu's hand and drank it in one gulp, then said angrily: "A group of ignorant guys, I told them about my great achievements in slaying dragons, but they said I blasphemed their
Faith, you still scold me, you really have no vision."
Xia Yu: "..."
"You talked about slaying dragons in the Dragon-Friendly Kingdom. They didn't beat you because you were well-educated..."
What kind of brain circuit is this? If you tell the story of yourself slaying a dragon in the dragon-loving kingdom, it would be considered good if you didn't get killed.
"cut."
Hui Jin didn't object and just stuffed the dessert on the plate into his mouth. Seeing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but pick up the dessert and put it in his mouth.
They actually like to eat sweets, and it didn't take long for both of them to finish the whole plate of desserts.
"Have a drink!"
Putting down the empty plate in his hand, Hui Jin took out two glasses of mellow Coke from the chat group. After toasting with Xia Yu, he drank them all in one breath.
"Hiccup~comfortable."
Satisfied, Ashes slumped down on a white chair, closing his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, Xia Yu also relaxed and sat on the chair next to him with a smile on his face. As expected, it was most relaxing to stay next to him.
There is no loneliness of one person, and there is no gap or distance between two people. Because we are all ourselves, there is no need to socialize for the sake of socializing.
This is a closer relationship than any other, because they are both the same soul and the same person.
The breeze is gentle and the night is beautiful.
Xia Yu rarely freed his mind and didn't think about anything. As for the jealous witch thing, let's wait until he has had enough rest.
"Hey, show me your little golden tree?"
Ashes suddenly sat up, approached Xia Yu and said with interest: "You know, I planned to cultivate the big rock tree into a world tree, but the first fire has almost burned the big tree, so the golden tree may also be used as a world tree.
shortcut."
After hearing what Hui Jin said, Xia Yu stretched out his palm. In an instant, golden light lit up, and golden buds grew out of his palm.
The golden buds are similar to ordinary saplings, but the main veins are golden yellow, exuding a soft golden light, and the main trunks are engraved with purple-black lines.
"Is this pattern the witch factor?" Hui Jing asked curiously, looking at the patterns that were slightly emitting black and purple miasma.
Xia Yu nodded and explained: "Yes, when it was still a golden seed, due to the absorption of the witch factor, the seeds had begun to show patterns. It should be a manifestation of other powers."
"Hmm... If that's the case, then in my world, the golden tree might have rock textures. Tsk, it suddenly feels downgraded."
"Are you planning to incorporate the power of the rocky tree into the golden seed?"
Ashes shook his head and replied: "That's not true. You know grafting. I want the golden seeds to be the main body of the World Tree and the rock tree to be the base. This way I can skip the recovery time of the rock tree and speed up the growth of the world tree.
form."
Xia Yu was a little skeptical about Ashes' idea: "Are you sure? The big rock tree is a big rock tree, and the golden tree is a golden tree. Can these two be grafted?"
"This is your narrow sense. Both of these things have the character "tree" in them. Since they are both trees, grafting is definitely possible."
After finishing speaking, Ashes suddenly changed the topic, flames appeared in his palms and said: "If the grafting fails, then just use the first fire to smelt the burned fractures together. In this way, the grafting can be regarded as successful."
Xia Yu "..."
There are so many flaws here that he doesn’t even know where to start.
Next, the two started discussing along the golden tree. After all, they both wanted to cultivate their own tree, so naturally there was a lot to discuss.
After an unknown amount of time, the enthusiastic banquet finally calmed down, and the noisy exchanges gradually subsided.
It was only then that Curxiu, the protagonist of the banquet, finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. She did not find the hero behind the scenes.
After asking, they learned that Xia Yu was on the balcony on the second floor at the moment. After telling Felix, Cruxiu slowly walked towards the balcony on the second floor.
No matter what, she had to formally thank them, including the knight named Ashes.
When he arrived at the balcony, Cruxiu looked around and found the two people slumped on the chairs, basking in the moon.
At this moment, the two of them were in sync. After discussing for a long time, they were a little tired, so they lay down to rest.
Seeing Xia Yu's relaxed expression, Cruxiu couldn't help but smile.
While walking towards Xia Yu and the others, Cruxiu said: "Sorry, because too many people came to talk to me tonight, so I didn't have a little free time until now."
After hearing the sound, Xia Yu opened his eyes, sat up and looked at Cruxiu who was walking over. Tonight, Cruxiu took off his men's clothes and put on a long skirt.
The black-based off-shoulder evening dress completely outlined her exquisite curves. The dark green exquisite skirt set off her fair legs. Her green hair was styled into a high ponytail with expensive flower hair accessories.
As an embellishment.
At this moment, the well-dressed Ku Erxiu lost his usual heroic appearance and became more feminine.
"You are very fascinated by what you are watching."
Suddenly, Curxiu's voice sounded. Upon hearing this, Xia Yu looked away in embarrassment.
It's not that he's ignorant, it's mainly that Curxiu suddenly dressed up like this, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
By analogy, it's like your good brother suddenly puts on women's clothes and is so beautiful that he can be compared to a supermodel. You will be stunned when you see him.
Seeing Xia Yu's embarrassed expression, Kurxiu chuckled: "It's not in vain that I can see you with such an expression."
While speaking, Cruxiu sat on the chair opposite Xia Yu, leaning his elbow on the table, supporting his cheek with one hand, and looking at Xia Yu intently.
Being looked at with such eager eyes, Xia Yu felt a little uncomfortable, and asked a little nervously: "What, boss, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Haha, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" Curxiu asked, she no longer used "Qing", but directly addressed her as "you".
"Uh, sorry, that's not what I meant."
"You are really a mysterious and powerful man." Curxiu looked into Xia Yu's eyes and said what was in his heart: "I didn't know until I actually fought against the white whale. With the expedition team at that time,
With the strength gathered, it is difficult to succeed. Without that sword and the golden light of death, I might have died long ago."
"Even if I win by chance, the lust and gluttony priest that comes with me will be my death. But at that time, it was you who appeared again and saved me and the rest of the people."
While saying these words, Kurxiu's eyes were moving, and his bright eyes were charming: "Xia Yu, your kindness to me is really great. You saved my life twice, plus other help, I don't even know what to do. How can I thank you enough."
"This..." Xia Yu scratched his head, not knowing what to answer.
"Don't say that because I am your boss, you should help me. These kindnesses are beyond the ability of the monarch and his ministers to explain. I must repay you."
"Then marry Xia Yu!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side. Hui Jin, who had always been a transparent person, looked at the two stunned people and said with a smile: "Since the kindness is as heavy as a mountain, let Xia Yu pledge himself to me."
"this……"
Kurxiu didn't refute for a while, but Xia Yu suddenly got angry and punched Ashes directly: "Shut up, I'll give you my life!"
"Kurxiu, don't forget what I told you, Xia Yu likes you!" Before Xia Yu could get close to him, Hui Jin used all his strength and shouted loudly in a voice that could be heard by the entire mansion.
After shouting, Ashes clicked to return instantly, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.
With a bang, Xia Yu punched the floor, causing a spiderweb-like crack in it.
"..."
"..."
Unable to beat the ashes, there was no way to leave. Xia Yu stiffly turned around and looked at Kurxiu in silence.
"Then...then what, I...that...I, forget it, see you later!"
Xia Yu stammered for a moment, then disappeared in a flash. This was the first time he had seen such a scene, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Looking at the place where Xia Yu disappeared, Kurxiu was stunned, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. Xia Yu's departure made her nervous heart relax.
It seemed that someone was more nervous than she was. He was obviously a male, so it made her seem as if she was a male.
Although she usually shows herself in men's clothing, she is still essentially a woman. Just like tonight, she is wearing a women's evening dress.
"Lord Curxiu, a voice suddenly shouted that Xia Yu likes you just now, which shocked me. What happened?" Felix suddenly burst out from the balcony door, tilting his head slightly in curiosity and asked. .
Looking at Felix like this, Cruxiu recalled the awkward Xia Yu and couldn't help but laugh: "It's nothing, it's just that there is a fool who looks more like a woman than me."
"Eh?" Felix twitched his cat ears and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Who is that idiot? Maybe Felix can become friends with him."
"Haha~" Cruxiu just smiled and shook his head without answering, and then changed the subject: "Phyllis, do you have experience in love? I want to know more about it."
"Meow meow meow?"
This time, Felix was really shocked. After all, Curio was an idiot who was so insensitive to feelings, and now he actually took the initiative to ask about love?
Is the world coming to an end?
However, recalling the roar that had just spread throughout the surrounding area, Felix thought thoughtfully and smiled like an aunt who saw her child growing up.
"Phyllis, why are you smiling so strangely?"
"Hey, Master Curxiu, leave me alone. Since you want to know about love, let me tell you some little secrets about Xia Yu. Phyllis knows all about Xia Yu's secrets!"
"Huh? Why did you suddenly talk about Xia Yu's secret? Isn't it about love?"
"Hey, that's not important. What's important is whether Master Curxiu wants to hear it?"
"Well... you tell me."
…
In the forest, Xia Yu was feeling the cool breeze soothing his slightly accelerating heart. After a moment, he exhaled.
"Damn Ashes, don't let me catch you! Hiss... Why did you shiver suddenly? Is it because the wind is too cold? Forget it, let the wind blow for a while to calm down."
(ω`) I drew one hundred and ninety, but there is still no colored Persian cat. I feel so uncomfortable that I want to cry. If I win the last ten draws in a row, I ()σ
Suddenly it occurred to me that not only did I not draw the color cat, I didn’t even draw the U556, nor did I catch the boat, which made me want to cry even more (д)
