This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 348 Banquet
It was only now that Zhou Li and his party knew that the villa where they attended the banquet last time was not Herining's private villa, but their royal "special palace".

The reason why it is called a special palace is because this place is actually a tourist attraction.It used to be the palace where Czar XVI lived, and it became an orphan because other palaces were demolished.At the beginning, Tariq wanted to send away this building representing the remnants of feudalism, but considering the style and structure of this building are very delicate and full of artistic value, so he kept it and used it as a scenic spot for people to visit .

Of course, this place is not fully open around the clock.Only one-tenth of the area of ​​this building named "Empire Palace" will be open to the public during the three days of January, March and May, and the rest of the space and time are mainly for receiving foreign guests.After all, Tariq's style is simple and simple, which is good on the inside, but it tends to make people feel shabby on the outside.

After driving the civilian commercial vehicle called a small tank, Zhou Li started to head towards the villa.On the way, Aiwei kept his head down and seemed to be wiping something on his face with his hands. Ain who was on the side noticed that he was wiping tears, but she had no desire to care about it at all, and she didn't even want to ask.

After all, if my idiot brother said in front of so many people, "I'm just touched that I don't need to throw up when I'm working on Zhou Li's car", I would definitely be ashamed.

"By the way, Ain, where does that friend of yours live now?"

Zhou Li supported the steering wheel with one hand and his head with the other, and curiously asked Ain who was behind him: "She doesn't seem to be staying in our hotel."

"Alyosha's family conditions are not very good."

"Ok?"

AZi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and asked a little puzzled: "Isn't she a member of Magnum?"

Ain adjusted his glasses and explained to Zhou Li: "The main reason for her becoming a member of Magnum is because of Mr. Zhou Li."

"What does it have to do with me? I don't even know her."

At least they don't know each other in this life, Zhou Li thought so.

"It's an indirect relationship."

When Ain talked about this incident, he couldn't stop laughing, "You put 29 Magnum MPs on the verge of bankruptcy, and 12 of them were forced to resign and go home. Because there are too many vacancies, Magnum added local officials to the posts of parliamentarians in accordance with the supplementary enrollment rules. Alyosha was the tax collector in her hometown at the time, and according to the rules, she should not be eligible to participate in supplementary enrollment.”

"But because you included everyone in the town next door to Alyosha, according to the pass-through principle, Alyosha got this supplementary qualification inexplicably."

Looking at the bewildered eyes of the people around him, Ain's mouth curled up slightly, and he said to Don Quixote with a smile: "Actually, Alyosha and Miss Don Quixote should have some relationship, because her hometown is in Windmill Town. Neighboring town."

"Ow~"

At this time, everyone suddenly realized what the "indirect relationship" Ain was talking about was all about.At that time, Zhou Li cheated a bunch of congressmen by reselling military supplies and made them resign and go home. He also took everyone in the town next door to Alyosha (Windmill Town) under his command.Because Zhou Li is not a native of the country, and the people from Windmill Town are not counted as Magnum, so the qualification of Windmill Town is handed over to Alyosha.

This is called indirect?If you didn't say that Zhou Li and Alyosha didn't know each other, we would have thought this was a back door purposely found.

"It's quite a relationship."

Zhou Li was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words, but he felt inexplicably funny.Alyosha in the last life was because she embarked on the road of a quartermaster, and in this life, she also became a member of Magnum because she went around and got involved with herself.

Thinking of this, Zhou Li's eyes also flashed a gloomy look.He still remembered that Alyosha in his previous life died in a battle, or in other words, many of his close partners died in the hands of the Demon King's army.Including Alyosha, Loka, Tiya, and many people who have not met now, all lost their lives in the endless war.

Don Quixote was the exception. Although she wanted to kill Zhou Li back then, Zhou Li was not willing to kill her. He just knocked her unconscious and hid. She didn't participate in the battle again until the death of the Demon King.

"Hmm~"

Elma's warm and soft palms pressed against his cheeks, making Zhou Li escape from those not-so-good memories.Elma's eyes were shining, she looked at Zhou Li, and said softly: "Miss Alyosha is also very satisfied with her status as a council member."

Does "sniffing" the change in my mood?

Zhou Li smiled. He looked at the road ahead without squinting, nodded, and the corners of his brows stretched, "It's none of my business whether she is satisfied or not. She has become a member of parliament and doesn't do her job well. She doesn't make money. Don't bully men and women, what's the point of being a congressman."

Seeing Zhou Li who quickly entered the role and began to imagine how prosperous Magnum would be if he became a member of parliament, Ah Zi rolled her delicate eyes, and even though she was used to it, she still couldn't help complaining: "You You can't think of others a little better, even if you say something that can be done legally."

"Magnum did not abolish the concubine system."

Although Zhou Li doesn't like to read Magnum's legal books and regards them as toilet paper, he can say that he knows these feudal dross by heart.AhZi blushed immediately when she heard the words, and hesitated to say something, but in the end, she could only throw herself into Ling Hai's arms and complain about Zhou Li's behavior.

In about ten minutes, this "commercial vehicle" modified by Zhou Li and gradually developing in a strange direction arrived at the Imperial Palace.Looking at this splendid but rough building, Zhou Li clicked his tongue and said with emotion:
"The tsar has a lot of tricks to do. There is a swimming pool on the balcony. If you swim and jump over the dragon's gate, it must be very effective for the show."

"Actually, there are."

The gate of the palace is carved from a whole piece of elven wood, with majestic mountains and rivers engraved on it.Evan stood in front of the door and said gently to Zhou Li and his party: "The Czar XIV had a whim when he was swimming on the balcony and wanted to perform a water jump for his twelve concubines. He accidentally made a mistake. Direction, jumped out from the balcony railing."

He raised his head to look at the balcony on the fifth floor, then lowered his head to measure the distance.Zhou Li rubbed his chin, and analyzed accurately: "I think he might not be too happy at this height."

Evan smiled noncommittally, he pushed open the door, and said to everyone: "Welcome everyone to this dinner, please relax, this is just a private invitation, without any red tape."

"It's okay, I don't have any etiquette myself."

Knowing Evan's character, Zhou Li made a joke, and then led everyone into the palace.

Different from Magnum's "cultural masters", Tarek's cultural style has local characteristics.Their architectural style is open and close, making good use of eye-catching gold and low-key white gray.The two complement each other, both rough and full of charm, just like the character of the Tariq.

Before coming to a hall on the third floor, Evan took out the key and inserted it into the door lock.Perhaps to express their private nature, no attendants or outsiders were seen along the way except for a few staff members.After opening this equally gorgeous door, a red and white hall appeared in front of everyone.

"Everyone is welcome."

Standing in the center of the hall was a white-haired old man with a beard.His face was kind and kind, with deep-set eye sockets, and his eyes were pure azure blue.Herining didn't wear the usual royal uniform, he just wore an ordinary gray suit, just like an ordinary old man next door, nothing special could be seen.

Hrining is not like Magnum III. Magnum III's clothes and temperament can make people realize that he is the emperor at a glance.But if Herlining didn't wear the king's robes, people would only think he was a respectable old man.Because in his eyes, there is no nobility or arrogance, which means that this old man believes that he is an ordinary people from the bottom of his heart.

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Herringen."

Facing this old man, Zhou Li put away his frivolity and replaced it with respect from the bottom of his heart.

If it is said that Mr. Muqi saved his own country with his life, then this old man named Herining saved mankind with this country that has condensed his life's efforts.Zhou Li will never forget that it was this seemingly dying old man who gave the order to resist with all his strength, and it was he who delayed the Demon King's army at the cost of destroying the country and saved the world.

"I'm also very happy to see the hero who saved the world appear in front of me. I'm even more happy that the ideals of the hero and Tariq reconcile."

With a decent smile, Herinen said to Zhou Li: "The people of Jordan and Muqi will always remember you, and Tariq will always regard you as their best friend."

"It's my pleasure."

Zhou Li saluted Herinen with meticulous etiquette, and then he turned slightly to introduce his partner to Herinen.

"It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty the King. My name is Eluma, and I am Zhou Li's envoy."

The gentle and beautiful girl bowed slightly, her long azure hair was slightly draped over her shoulders, a casual white dress set off her beauty, and the sapphire earring also added a little color to her.

"Wow, so beautiful."

Not far away, Tiya, who hadn't had time to appear on the stage, supported the hilt of the long sword, and sighed to Lorca beside her: "Did you see that girl? It's so beautiful."

"really."

Loka on the side nodded in agreement. As a demigod-level adventurer, he has been to many places and met many people.But it was the first time he saw a person like Elma who revealed the beauty of a god from the inside out.

But Luoka didn't lose his composure too much, and his attention returned to Lin Zi's side, the girl with white hair and red pupils.

"Why are there so many girls around the brave man?"

Tiya stroked her chin, and asked curiously in a low voice: "There are so many girls, and they all have their own charm. Do you think the brave man..."

"I don't think so."

Loka shook his head and said calmly: "Look carefully, the brave man leaned against the blue-haired girl from the beginning to the end, and his hands were unconsciously hanging beside hers. Whether it's his sight or his movements, The brave man turned towards that girl more or less. Until now, I haven't seen the brave man make any moves towards other girls, and I didn't even look at them much."

"Just for a while, you can see so much?"

Tiya raised her eyebrows, and asked in a qualitative way: "Why can't I see your sister?"

"As long as you allocate one-third of the nine hours of sword practice a day to social or royal etiquette, you will not be 26 years old and have never touched a man's hand."

"cut."

Facing Loka's words of slashing, cleaving, armor-piercing belt crit, Tiya didn't take it too seriously, and said angrily: "I don't care about this, and practicing swords is my hobby. And my conditions are not bad, Just don't want to."

"Yes, you don't want to, you're right."

Loka nodded perfunctorily, "If you can't beat you, don't marry. Just because of this, all the men of Tariq's age can say goodbye to you with a smile."

"Then what can I do?"

Tariq No.20 Three-time free fighting tour champion, world fencing championship champion, first female swordsman Tiya curled her lips and said helplessly: "You don't want to find a girl who is weaker than you, it's not normal ?"

"Please, sister, your brother is still a demigod no matter how weak I am. According to what you said, I have to marry a demigod-level berserker or shadow assassin as my wife. Please move your sword-filled My brain, can I be happy after marriage?"

"Lorca, Tia!"

At this time, Helining, who had already had a lively conversation with Zhou Li, remembered that he still had two children that he had not introduced. He called out to the two of them, and they immediately came to the crowd and introduced themselves.

"Nice to meet you all. My name is Loka, the third prince of Tariq. It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am also very grateful for your life-saving grace."

Lorca's etiquette is well learned. Although he has a temper and likes to explore, he has always been very decent in these aspects.Facing the gaze of everyone, especially a group of girls with different charms, Tiya suddenly got stuck, and it took a while before she said:
"Hi everyone, thank you."

Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire hall became cheerful.Herining didn't reprimand Tiya for being inappropriate, he just patted Tiya with a helpless smile and said to everyone: "She is my daughter, the second in the family, and her name is Tiya. She is more I like swordsmanship, but I'm not very good at socializing, so please bear with me."

Ah Zi found out that Zhou Li was surprisingly tolerant of Tiya.If this was placed in the Magnum, Tiya would have to shed two layers of skin to get out.

"The banquet this time is to clean up the dust for everyone. At the same time, I also want to solemnly thank you for your help at that time. Without you, as a king, there will be more casualties in the airport incident due to my negligence. As a king A father, and I would lose my beloved child too."

The old king looked at the crowd with a calm tone, with just the right amount of smile and seriousness.
