There were suddenly fewer people in the small hall, and the joyful atmosphere of the banquet became more lively. As Gu Lan said, the most important thing about drinking is to relax. Without the heads of the major families and senior officials of the empire, what is left now
, most of them are young people of similar age, so everyone is naturally more relaxed.
Without Gu Lan's reminder, Yi Yun also knew that Mimilu had been secretly looking at him. In fact, it was not just her. Looking around the palace, he had been the focus of everyone's attention since entering here. It was only Mimilu and others who came to participate.
The Rheinland students and teachers at the night banquet looked at him differently from the others. They were both curious and slightly fearful. This was what puzzled Yi Yun the most...
Will he look hideous and scary?
The eyes of Mimi met in the air, but as soon as their eyes met, Yi Yun nodded politely and smiled. She was startled and took a step back, then turned around and pretended to chat with Anna beside her.
, dare not look back at him again.
Yi Yun was shocked by the violent reaction shown by Mimi Lu. He had never expected that a few days ago, when he and the Shadow Killing Corps were killing each other, the tragic scene of blood, flesh, and mud splattering, actually shocked him.
She and the other Rhine students who were watching the scene were frightened and fainted on the spot. When they woke up, the extremely terrifying scene was still lingering in everyone's minds. From then on, their perception of Yi Yun was not only fear, but also fear.
They were both amazed by his powerful strength and fearful of his unimaginable murderous intent. He was a ferocious beast among men. Dean Brasso's heavy evaluation still echoed in their minds.
Powerful yet cruel, curious yet fearful, these are all Mimilu's feelings towards Yi Yun.
Although Yi Yun was puzzled by Mimi Lu's reaction, he didn't worry about it. He still voluntarily poured the wine and drank alone. He knew that all he had to do now was wait.
The woman in the middle saw that Yi Yun was finally alone, and was about to take the opportunity to get closer. At this moment, the closed door suddenly opened, and a woman in red wearing a warrior uniform walked in.
Scanning her eyes, she immediately found a very eye-catching black-haired boy sitting alone at a table. Without thinking, she slowly approached and came to the table without sitting down. She just stared at the person in front of her, slowly.
He drank the wine in one gulp without even raising his eyes to look at her.
This person is none other than Nanya.
At the royal night banquet, the last person Yi Yun wanted to meet was a member of the Lanville family.
He had just arrived and found that no one from the Lanweier family was attending the meeting. Not even the patriarch Moxi and Modo who won the second place did not participate in this event. Yi Yun was very satisfied with the result, although he also had ulterior motives this time.
Purpose, but before the idea came, he also wanted to enjoy this moment of peace.
Nuya's sudden appearance had already ruined his rare leisurely mood.
He raised his head and frowned: "Why are you here too?"
When Nuya heard the young man's unabashed and naked words of expelling guests, she couldn't help but get angry and said angrily: "It's so irritating! What do you mean by that? I am a direct descendant of the Lanwell family, and I have
Where can’t I go?”
For some reason, Nuya couldn't help but get impatient when she saw Yi Yun. After the final of the magic fight, she knew that her defeat was just natural, and she could no longer muster the confidence to challenge him. He was indeed more
All the anger and unwillingness towards a top man who is stronger than himself has long since disappeared, but why every time I mention him or see him, I can't help but feel angry, and I can't help but want to lose my temper with him.
?
The strange feelings were all directed at the boy. Nuya also had no idea what her own feelings and thoughts were. She was more confused than anyone else...
As soon as they met, with just a few sentences, everyone could hear the atmosphere of tension between the two parties. They stopped talking one after another, and looked at the man and woman in the hall with the mentality of watching a good show.
Staring at Yi Yun, Nuya suppressed emotions that even she could not understand and asked: "You have disappeared again in the past two days. Where did you go and what did you do?"
Yi Yun poured himself a glass of wine slowly, took a sip, and said calmly: "It's an excessive question. Even Teacher Minuo didn't ask much about my whereabouts. I shouldn't have to answer you, right?"
"You..." Nuya was furious. She took another step forward and was already in front of Yi Yun. Staring at the young man's handsome face, her heart beat suddenly and she slowly said word by word: "I am in Tianfeng
I’ve been waiting for you for two days in this beautiful house where the college is temporarily on vacation. I just want to ask you personally... Are you... my seventh..."
Before Nuya could finish her words, the door opened again, and four people walked in this time. They were the highest white-clothed bishop stationed in the capital of Qiwu, Kolori and all his followers.
The wait is finally here!
Kololi saw Yi Yun at a glance and walked over immediately. Yi Yun turned aside Nuya and completely ignored her unfinished questions. He immediately stood up to greet Kololi and led Kololi to sit at the same table. His
The other three deputies stood by the door with their hands down and their faces solemn, not following Colori.
The lofty status of the white-robed bishop meant that even her father Moxi had to respect him respectfully. Yi Yun didn't say anything to him. Tian Ya knew that she was no longer suitable to stay here, so she had to take back her words, stamp her feet, and turned around.
When she walked out of the banquet, her complete indifference towards Yi Yun really made her angry.
Looking at the closed door again, Nuya said angrily: "It has been several days, all the elite spies of the family have been dispatched, but still nothing has been found about the identity of that hateful boy. The result is already obvious. It is definitely the second uncle's own random guess. That
The angry brat is definitely not the seventh brother, absolutely not!"
Staring at the door angrily, Nuya left angrily.
Filling a glass of wine for himself, Colori smiled and said: "I should have come a long time ago, but something unexpected happened, so I came late. You disappeared for two days in a row. Master Pluto and I were very worried. Fortunately, we were able to arrive in time."
It’s great to be back before the ceremony tomorrow!”
Yi Yun nodded politely, knowing that the unexpected incident he was talking about was the sudden arrival of Kallus, so he clinked glasses without showing any emotion on the surface.
Putting down his wine glass, Kololi changed the subject and suddenly asked: "Where have you been these past two days, and how come you can't be found by anyone?"
Yi Yun said in a low voice: "Originally I didn't want to talk more about this matter, but since it is you, Mr. Kololi, who is asking about it, I have no choice but to tell you the truth: I am really not used to the bustling and noisy life in Qiwu City, so these two
Tianlai, I have been staying in a secret cave on the outskirts of Qiwu City to practice quietly, and I didn’t come back until this afternoon.”
Colloli was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "So... have you noticed that any suspicious person is following you or monitoring you?"
Yi Yun knew that he was asking about Tagir, so he pretended to be pretentious, and said in shock: "You left at midnight, and even Teacher Minuo didn't notice it. How could someone be following you?"
Kololi was not surprised when he heard this, he just nodded and said: "I'm just paranoid. Anyway, it's good that you can come back in time. Tomorrow's ceremony will also be the official announcement by the Holy See of Light that you have joined our Holy Religion and granted the Bishop in White the Saint
It is an important occasion for work and there is no room for error.”
He said this in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart that Tajir had been missing with this young man for two days and no news had been reported back. He must have been in trouble. Now that the young man is back, he should come back with him. He should wait until he returns.
Church, you can receive the information from him.
Seeing Kololi pouring himself a drink, his brows furrowed, not feeling the joy of the banquet at all, Yi Yun asked: "Your Excellency, tomorrow is a festival where the whole country is celebrating, but I see that you seem to be unhappy, but...
Do you want to hear it?"
He poured several glasses of strong liquor into his throat, and the target was the new white-coated bishop whom he personally recruited for the Holy See. Kololi had long regarded him as one of his own, and after drinking, he opened up his chatterbox and sighed: "Tomorrow is indeed the day.
Imperial ceremony, but what does this have to do with me? After the ceremony, I was ordered by Master Pluto to return to Shengguang Stronghold to report on my duties. Everything in Qiwu City was handed over to my deputy. If I go back this time, I may stay there for ten years.
If I don't have any chance to make meritorious deeds again, do you think I'm willing to do it?"
Kololi's blunt words after drinking also indirectly informed Yi Yun that all the Blue Thunders had been wiped out. It had been a day and a night, but it had not been noticed by the other personnel stationed in Shengguang Village. Akxi's judgment at the time was correct, and it was also
The development results he could not have wished for.
After personally filling up the wine for Kololi, Yi Yun said as if he was not paying attention: "I heard that the Holy See of Light dispatched countless legions to search for the eight major elemental soul mines across the continent. They only asked about the results, not the process, and based on the legions'
The search results are regarded as an important criterion for promotion within the church. I wonder if this is really the case?"
Kololi was shocked when he heard this: "The search for elemental soul mines is a top-secret matter within the Holy See. How did you know about it?"
Smiling, Yi Yun said calmly: "There is no airtight wall. This matter is not difficult for a thoughtful person to know. It is strange that I don't know the intelligence gathering abilities of Jie Jiu and I."
Kololi was stunned when he heard this: "It turns out that it is Jiejiu Astronomy Road. Although it is still not as powerful as those big families, it has a strong foundation. The Holy See has asked them several times to help collect some rare treasures from the mainland, including elemental soul mines.
Being inside, it is not surprising that he can hear about the internal affairs of the Holy See.
Yi Yun took advantage of the situation to pursue him and said again: "Your Majesty, the Bishop, does not want to return to the closed Holy Light Stronghold, but Cardinal Pluto has issued an order. You have no choice but to obey it, even if you don't want to at all, but..."
..If you can make great contributions to the Holy See of Light at this time, you must have enough say in your own future, right?"
Colloli was puzzled and asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Yi Yun knew that his appetite had been whetted and that the time had come, so he leaned into his ear and whispered softly: "Unfortunately, I happen to have enough water elemental soul minerals, which should be able to help you overcome this difficulty!"
Kololi's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Water Soul Mine? It's a big treasure, how much is it? Find a deserted place later and bring it to me. It will be of great benefit to you!"
Unexpectedly, Yi Yun shook his head and said softly: "It's hundreds of kilograms, how do you want me to get it out, Lord Bishop?"
"Hundreds of kilograms?" Kololi trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How could you possibly own hundreds of kilograms of water-based soul ore?"
"How dare I lie in front of the bishop?" Yi Yun said: "To be honest, I come from an ancient martial arts family that has long since declined. The water soul mine is an ancestral property left by the ancestors of the family. I used to use it to
To assist in my cultivation, but now that I have reached the peak of six stars, the soul mine will not be of any help to my future cultivation progress, and it is useless to keep it...
"On the other hand, Your Excellency, you have shown me a desire to recruit and promote me. Yi Yunquan responded in kind and is willing to provide all of it to help you, Your Excellency, overcome this difficulty."
Kololi suppressed his ecstasy and said excitedly: "So that's it. No wonder your cultivation has progressed so quickly. It's because of the inexhaustible water soul minerals to assist you and the excellent cultivation environment that you can create."
It's natural for a genius like you to be a genius! Well, I promise that I will receive all kinds of benefits from you in the future. As for what you said..."
Yi Yun knew that he had finally taken the bait, but he still said as usual: "With hundreds of kilograms of elemental soul ore, as soon as you take it out, all the high-level experts in the city can immediately sense that the hidden cave on the outskirts of the city that I mentioned just now contains
It happens to be carved with a shielding magic array, which can completely cover up the huge aura of a huge amount of water-based soul mines, so it is the best place."
"Is this happening?" At this time, Kololi was extremely excited. He just wanted to get the huge amount of soul ore mentioned by Yi Yun as soon as possible. He couldn't think about it anymore, how could a high-level person who could conceal the aura of a huge amount of elements appear out of thin air?
When the magic circle came out, it was completely beyond Yi Yun's ability at this time.
He lowered his voice very low and said: "The outskirts of Qiwu City are too far away, so there is no need to go to such trouble. After the banquet, you can wait for me at the bell tower one mile west of the church. There is a secret there that is exclusive to me and that no one knows about."
The secret room is also filled with shielding magic circles to ensure that no other person knows about the existence of the secret room. It is the best and safest place."
Yi Yun was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then advised again: "Master Bishop, this matter is not trivial. I think it is best to treat it more carefully. Hundreds of kilograms of water-based soul ore are unexpectedly in the city where countless powerful people gather.
It seems inappropriate to take it out, right?"
Colori pulled him and said with a smile: "This bishop cares more about this matter than you do. How can I tolerate any mistakes? Don't worry, the magic array in the secret room can completely block the leakage of the elemental soul mine.
The aura is absolutely foolproof, in this regard, I have full confidence!"
Yi Yun originally wanted to lure Kololi to the magic formation cave outside the city. That was the best place in his mind to do something. Once he entered, Kololi would definitely not be able to get out. No matter how big the movement was, the outside world would not notice it.
His inability to sense it was also his greatest strength for this action.
Judging from Colori's confident expression at this time, the words had been spoken, and no matter how difficult it was to change his decision, he had no choice but to accept it.
After agreeing on a time and place to meet later, Kololi patted Yi Yun's shoulder twice, lowered his voice of ecstasy, and said excitedly: "I was indeed right that you are not only a talent worthy of cultivation by my Holy See, but also mine!
Lucky star, if I get promoted and rewarded by the higher-ups of the Holy See in the future, you will definitely benefit from it!"
After that, Colloli stayed for a short time, briefly greeted everyone in the room, and immediately left with his accompanying deputies.
Anna came over at this time and asked curiously: "Bishop Kololi's status in white is not ordinary, but I just saw that you seem to be very familiar with each other, and you talked happily, and you laughed constantly. It's really rare. It's just a little chat."
what?"
Yi Yun said calmly: "It's nothing. I'm just talking about some important matters for tomorrow's knighting ceremony. The bishops of all levels of the Holy See will also attend. They asked me to fully appreciate and enjoy this rare moment that only comes once in my life. That's all."
Anna smiled coquettishly when she heard this: "A rare moment that only comes once in a lifetime? This sentence is really good, and it makes me happy to hear it. It is also quite appropriate when compared to the situation that we people are in."
Sitting down and drinking a few glasses of wine with Yi Yun, Anna started to talk a lot thanks to the drunkenness, telling some interesting things that made her happy. All the students in the meeting were also attracted to come closer. With Yi Yun and Anna as the center, everyone raised their eyebrows.
Wine glasses were clinked and laughter erupted. The banquet had just entered its climax, but Yi Yun's heart was no longer here.
The royal family's night banquet came to a successful conclusion, and everyone dispersed. After returning to the Tianfeng Academy residence room, Yi Yun jumped down from the window sill, sneaked out again, and sneaked away in the direction of the clock tower agreed with Kolori.
It was midnight, and in the dark room, Mino stared at the figure rushing under the moonlight through the window without saying a word.
Tidus' voice came from behind: "Dean, won't you stop him?"
After being silent for a long time, Minuo sighed: "Every time I leave without saying goodbye, every time I come back, my cultivation level has been greatly improved, which is contrary to common sense. It has long been out of our control. Can we still control this student?"
Tidus said worriedly: "This time is different. He ran away again for no reason. Tomorrow is the official knighthood ceremony. I'm afraid that he..."
Shaking his head, Mino said confidently: "No! Although he violated our Tianfeng Academy rules several times, he always adhered to the last limit and acted appropriately. I cannot say that he did a good job, but he
But I know better than anyone else... Let him go, I believe he will return as scheduled early tomorrow morning."
"...On the eve of the ceremony, he acted inexplicably. Don't you want to go with him? Or, you can let me do it for you."
"It's not necessary. Although I don't know his purpose, but... After a conversation on the eve of the night banquet, I found that this student is more mature than I thought. Not only his magical skills, but also his mind is far from ordinary.
The students are comparable, just believe in him!"
Tidus was speechless for a moment, and then he sighed heavily. The dark room returned to silence and calm again, except for the gentle moonlight outside the window, which still shone brightly.
On the eve of the ceremony, on the last night, with the sound of sighs, the young man's figure disappeared into the darkness of the night.
