goddess of revolution

Chapter 19 The Banquet of Nobles

At dusk, the residents of the small town of Prell gathered on the roadside outside the town, counting the carriages heading towards the castle with curiosity and awe.No matter how contemptuous and disgusted the coachman and entourage looked at them, they couldn't dampen their enthusiasm.

It is said to be a carriage, but there are all kinds of monsters pulling the cart, yes, monsters.

Naturally, horses are the most numerous. They either have horns on their heads or armor on their ribs. It looks like a strange species.Some looked ordinary, but the carriages they were pulling had no wheels and floated directly on the ground.

In addition to horses, there are ground dragons like giant lizards, chocobos with legs thicker than horses, thick black and heavy steel puppets, all kinds of things, and the eyes of the townspeople who have never seen the world are cramped. .

Seeing the figure of a griffin passing by in the air, the old man in the town exclaimed, the viscount is really extraordinary, he can invite so many distinguished guests.Others said, isn't this normal?Master Viscount is a person favored by the goddess. Did you see the miracle that the goddess showed in the temple a few days ago?

Unlike what the townspeople who were full of gold poles thought, Li Qi was completely dazed when he greeted the guests outside the castle.

He felt like he was running a small company, waiting for the people who came to congratulate him to wash their eyes with all kinds of luxury cars. He didn't expect that they would come here with tanks or planes...

There was indeed a plane, and a green-headed griffin landed, kicking up a large cloud of dust, covering Li Qi with ashes.

"The green-headed griffin is the most common flying mount, and it only costs four to five hundred gold bushels. It includes training and food for three months. The druid merchants of the Chamber of Commerce can handle the whole set."

Tarrence was well-informed and said disapprovingly.But seeing his eyes wandering around, as if he was choosing a mount, he knew how envious and jealous he was.

The banquet was chaotic during the welcome session. All kinds of monsters crowded together in the stables, the terrain dragon bit the chocobo's wings, the chocobo kicked the horse's ass, and the steel puppet spun infinitely and threw fists.

The coachman and his entourage were arguing endlessly, and even drew a circle to prepare to start a movie. Sardar and the guards did not dare to approach the monster at all, and naturally it was impossible to calm the situation.

The situation changed greatly when the Countess of Bemisia arrived.As soon as the paladin mentor who followed her appeared, all the troublemakers froze.Although the druid she brought was only an apprentice, she calmed the monster properly.

"I just said, these things are really a heavy burden for you, Li Qi."

The countess was holding Li Qi's arm, as if they had been close friends for many years.

Feeling the tenderness of his upper arm, Li Qi was fortunate to have given himself a spiritual thorn in advance.

Although it was planned to go back this time, Li Qi was still very grateful to the countess, with her, the banquet would be stable.

The countess can firmly sit on the top of the kingdom's number one courtesan, not simply because of her beauty and lips.It can be seen that she is very proficient in conference affairs. In the earth world, she is definitely the top brand of top conference affairs companies.

The countess led him to greet the guests one by one, but the level of the guests surprised Li Qi.

The King's Second Chamberlain...

Children of the Earl Marquis...

The Viscount Baron himself and his wife...

Loyal high priest and paladin mentor...

Representatives of various churches that have made good friends with the divine court...

Doesn't it mean that the specifications will not be too high?The king and the bishop of the Holy Court are the first group, the princess, the duke, the marquis, the earl, and the heads of the major churches are the second group, and then there are this group of people.

The countess said coquettishly, "You still don't thank me? I spent all my time lobbying around these days to attract these people."

"Of course, I have prepared all the gifts," Li Qi said sincerely.

Naturally, he wouldn't take what the countess said seriously. The upgrade to one level should have something to do with the miracles performed by the goddess.

"Really? I hope it can bring me a surprise." The countess unfolded her folding fan, smiling like silk with winking eyes.

For sure, Li Qi thought to himself, this is a divine favor that cost ten o'clock and I don't know what it is useful for, plus ten days of hard work in exchange for it, I will be at a loss if I can't surprise you.

The countess asked again: "Are you ready for the show?"

"Don't worry, you will also bring surprises to the guests," Li Qi replied confidently.

The following process made Li Qi very cordial. First, Sir McGore, the king's second aide, gave a speech, and then the representative of the loyal court gave a speech.Afterwards, there were representatives of the powerful figures in the kingdom, such as the Marquis and Earl. In the end, it was Li Qi who said a few words as the host, which were true.

Fortunately, during the whole process, the hostess, the countess, was elegant and funny, which made the formalistic cutscenes of more than half an hour less boring.

The musicians of the god of music played soothing music, and clown jugglers shuttled around the venue to amuse them.The nobles and clergy gathered around the buffet table, holding wine glasses, and gathered in small circles to whisper softly. The venue was filled with an elegant and peaceful atmosphere.

Li Qi resisted the urge to rush to the dining table to feast, and wandered among different circles.The sumptuous food on the table made him see the extravagance of the upper-class nobles. Without the sponsorship of the church, even if the entire Viscount territory was sold, such a banquet would not be able to be held.

Why does the goddess insist on him making a revolution? Isn't it good to just climb up like this...

Walking around in circles, Li Qi's thoughts changed again.

He felt that he would never be able to squeeze into these circles in his life, and the topics they talked about were more lethal than chaste blood.

"Your family's ancestral elves should be able to be bred again? My family has wrinkles before the age of [-], and I don't feel it when I put the largest morning star under it. It really can't be passed on if it is not pure blood. Go to your house One last match, yes, white hair without face lines, if you have twins, I will keep one for you. The male one? Well, I will give you the male one.”

"Recently, I changed to the new formula recommended by the wizard. I absorb the little girl's life essence. I can apply it three times after inhaling it once. How about bouncing my face? Does it feel good? How can it be so cruel? Hurry up, which of your lowly slaves can live to old age."

"There is a little trouble in the north. I heard that the paladins of Longde are active. Many untouchables were agitated, burned two castles, and died a baron. The paladins of His Majesty Kem have passed, and they will not let those The insanity does what it wants. Yes, those untouchables who don't farm honestly are like weeds in the field, they must be cut at any time, and His Majesty the King is too lenient on them."

"Recently, the price of leather has risen again, and the output of Thousand Soul Drums can't increase. The leather seller raised the price, saying that the treatment fee of the temple has increased, and they can't eat enough. It's pitiful. I'm going to find an opportunity to talk to the gods. Bishop, please let me know if you can take care of the skin seller properly. Ah... Viscount Prell, it's great that you can introduce a new god to the kingdom! I am the vice president of the Kingdom Musicians Association, and I can talk to you Do you want to talk about the industry's preferential treatment?"

Li Qi suddenly felt that the idea of ​​the goddess might not be so secondary.

However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

The drowsy music came to an end, and the Countess found Li Qi: "It's time for your show."

………………

"Isn't it over yet? When will it officially start? Such a long cutscene is really rare."

"I still have to wait for the scarlet lady to show her divine will. It's really strange to hear people say that priesthood is related to pain."

"No wonder Viscount Prior was chosen. This little country bumpkin is suffering from debt."

"The gods related to pain are either lunatics like the goddess of abuse, or madmen like the lady of pain and the god of suffering. The gods don't know what to think, but they actually show kindness to such gods."

In the small circle, several young nobles discussed in low voices.

The silver-haired little girl entered the venue and began to chant softly.The musician of the God of Music plucked the three-stringed qin and the thousand-soul drum, and quickly found the rhythm.

"I'm hiding in the car with a crystal in my hand..."

"I want to surprise you on your birthday..."

"As you get closer, there are two voices..."

The guests who were originally chatting turned their heads and looked over. The bright rhythm was very different from the soothing music they were used to, and it grabbed their attention forcefully and even a little roughly.The melodious singing voice sang straightforward lyrics, but it was full of sadness.

"I heard that Lady Red is from the far east. This must be the music of the local aborigines."

"It's so vulgar and harsh, how can it appear at such a banquet?"

"Is it vulgar? Why don't I think... Shhh..."

The young nobleman signaled his companion to be quiet, and his expression changed significantly when he heard the back.

"I was caught off guard and had to stand there in a daze..."

"I should be under the car, not in the car..."

The little girl was crying while singing, and the silvery white light wings fluttered, illuminating the entire venue. She turned out to be a saint.

The nobles didn't seem too surprised. Most of the saints of the good gods have similar special effects. In contrast, the singing of the saints is even more fascinating.

The young noble touched his chest unconsciously, with tears in his eyes.

The little goddess' singing turned into a high-pitched voice, which sounded like a heart-piercing cry.

"Seeing how sweet you are..."

"In this way, it's easier for me to give up..."

"Give me the courage to leave..."

"He must love you very much..."

"Compare me too..."

Amidst the singing, the slight coolness brought by the silver-white holy light penetrated into the hearts of the guests.

These people are believers of various gods, and will not react too strongly to the holy light of other gods.But there is still a slight numbness in the coolness, as if a hard-toothed comb is being used to gently comb the heart, bringing a refreshing shiver, but it has never been experienced before.

The young nobleman rubbed the corners of his eyes, and some female guests took out their handkerchiefs.

When the little saint sang the second song, no one spoke at the venue.Everyone gathered together and listened to the singing quietly.
