Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 82 State Banquet
The next day, after news of Malenia's recovery spread, the long-delayed state banquet was finally held in the Golden Temple.

Previously, both Sky City and Kalia received invitations from the Golden Dynasty. If the Kalia mission hadn't deliberately delayed the trip, the four demigods would have arrived at the royal capital at the same time. The reason why the royal family held only one family dinner in Delhi.

Therefore, not only the three demigods of Kalia will be received in this feast, but also Lucia, the ancient dragon prince who has just gained fame in the battle on the shore of Lake Rodel, so the scale is far larger than the previous two family banquets Almost all the heavyweights of the entire Golden Dynasty in the Yatan area appeared at the venue.

First of all, Queen Malika and King Vladagon were the hosts. After returning from Rhodelia's sacrifice to the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Queen immediately sent envoys to the three Kalia demigods' bedrooms to present gifts and convey concern.

The gifts she gave to Latarn were the same medicated bath formulas and medicines as Lucia's, as well as a large number of weapons and military books. What she gave to Lakad were thousands of volumes of history books and research notes carefully compiled by scholars in the royal capital. Ni harvested as many as hundreds of boxes of precious magic materials, some of which are rare treasures only owned by the golden royal family.

Judging from the queen's incomparably appropriate arrangements, Lucia firmly believed that even if she didn't make a move that day, she would still have a backhand to keep the three Kalia brothers and sisters—but since he had solved the problem, with the queen's wrist, and the back hand will never be known.

In addition to the Eternal Queen and King Elden, more than ten dukes, more than fifty marquess, and nearly three hundred other nobles from the Golden Dynasty who are currently in the vicinity of the royal capital all attended this banquet. Demonstrating the dynasty's emphasis on the four demigods is also because the nobles hope to seek a chance for their children to enroll in the upcoming royal private school.

In the nearly 50 years since the founding of the Golden Dynasty, the royal private school was only opened once when Prince Godwin was a boy. The students who participated in the private school included not only the heirs of the founding heroes of the dynasty, but also many dynasties who surrendered to the Golden Tree at the end of the War of the Gods The descendants of the royal family, these people grew up under the personal guidance of the golden heroes and even the queen and the war king, and most of them have become the mainstay of today's golden dynasty.

Today, seeing that the private school of the royal family will be opened again, and even demigods with incomparably distinguished status are required to enroll, no matter whether the new party or the old party, they are absolutely unwilling to let their children of the right age miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.After all, the Golden Dynasty has always been respected by strength, no matter how powerful the nobles are, they cannot last long by relying solely on the shadow of their ancestors. Only the outstanding descendants who have grown up from generation to generation are the guarantee of family continuity.

As for Kalia and Gu Long, Knight Mugram and Lance Shanks attended the state banquet at the same time.

Just as Lance Shanks warned Lucia not long ago, at their level, every move will be regarded as the attitude of the entire dynasty.Therefore, even though Mugram and Radagon drew their swords against each other a few days ago, the two parties maintained a high degree of mutual respect during the banquet at this time, and there was no trace of the grievances between the two top powerhouses for more than ten years. .

On the other side, after Lucia and Lani visited Marenia's situation together as usual, they simply went to the Triumph Hall and the Ludia Hall to call Latarn and Lakad, and the six demigods went to the venue together.

Seeing you again after a few days, Rataen, who had recovered from his injuries, not only didn't care about Lucia's defeat of him, but boarded the carriage of the Valyrian Palace immediately, and pulled Lucia to discuss something about Lake Rodel. The moves used by the two during the war.

Lucia was also delighted when he saw this. Unlike Lataen, he had fought with the opponent's virtual projection more than a dozen times in the memory battlefield in the past few days, and he already had a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the two. Understand, at this time, it is just to confirm each other, so as to further improve their fighting skills.

The two chatted very speculatively from the moment they met, and were completely immersed in the heated discussion until the motorcade arrived at the venue.

Seeing this situation, Marenia simply took Shirley away and ran to play by herself, and Lani, who wanted to chat with Lucia intentionally or unintentionally, had no choice but to give up, and followed Marianne with Michaela. behind Ya, looking after the little fox and the little girl who were laughing and playing in front.

Rackard spent most of his time with his brother and Lucia, listening to the swordsmanship moves they were discussing, and sometimes pretending to understand something, and intervening in the middle to ask his sister about it Regarding Marenia's recovery, she dropped a few hard words of condolence with a stern face, and reached out to tease Shirley, who was sitting next to the little girl, who was eating a lot.

Later, under Lani's reminder, after learning that it turned out to be Lucia's shadow beast, Lakad was stunned for a while, then turned his head to look at the ferocious half-wolf boy following behind Lani, and then swiped the ground. Turning back his gaze, he continued to stroke the fox while muttering something—Lucia heard a sudden burst of laughter from behind, turned around and saw Blazer holding a big sword, angrily about to pull Card went out to single out.
"By the way, Lucia," Lataen looked around and asked curiously, "Before I came to the capital, I had always heard that Brother Godwin's son Greco is very powerful. Why haven't I seen him today?"

Lucia looked around, shrugged and said, "I'm not familiar with that guy, but it stands to reason that as long as he's in the capital, he won't miss this kind of showy occasion, and now he probably just wants to come later to attract more attention. "

Before the words were finished, several people heard the waiter in front of the hall shout loudly: "His Royal Highness Greco is here—"

I saw Greg wearing a luxurious gown made of precious silk, with a jeweled saber slanted in his waist, leading a group of attendants, walking in arrogantly like a general who has won the victory.

He first went to the front of the banquet hall according to the etiquette, greeted Malika and Radagon in turn, and greeted the knights of Mugram, Otaupis and Lance Shanks, and then went to the seat arranged by himself , and never glanced in the direction of the demigods during the whole process.

Seeing this, Lucia smiled faintly, looked at Lataen and said, "How about it, am I right?"

Ratan frowned slightly and said, "Has he always been so arrogant?"

"Probably," Lucia thought for a while and explained seriously, "You're still young after all."

Hearing this, Rataen glanced suspiciously at Greg, who was two years older than him, and then at Lucia, who looked similar to him. He only thought that this guy was relying on his seniority and dragon egg stage Age depends on the old and sells the old.

But what he didn't know was that what Lucia said was indeed true from the bottom of his heart.

Grek, the son of the golden prince Godwin, is also an upright demigod from a legal point of view, and is different from the embarrassment of being walked by and stepped on by various gods in the Shattered War. A young hero with unique talent.

It is not difficult to understand, after all, Grek inherited the direct lineage of War King Ge Fulei and Eternal Queen Marika. In terms of blood lineage, apart from the parents being the Dragon King and Dragon God Lucia, even the three brothers and sisters of the La family are more than that. He is half inferior, who let the law that governs all things now be gold instead of the full moon.

At this stage, Grek has not been beaten by the society together with his parallel brother Gefuya, and has not lost his ambition to inherit the glory of his father's generation. In addition, he has been taught by Rodell's famous teachers for many years and cultivated by the royal family with a lot of resources. Relying on the hard pile also piled up the combat power to crush the peers.

Perhaps in his cognition, Lucia's strength is still far inferior to his own at the dinner party a few months ago, that is, relying on Longwei to barely lose the upper hand in the confrontation of momentum - in this case, What kind of powerful character can Rataen be defeated by this little dragon?
"A group of impostors with impure blood, I don't know what Michaela and Marenia think, they always hang out with these people!" Gregor sat on a seat far away from the demigods, drinking alone while looking cold Looking at this side, he secretly said with disdain in his heart.

"Brother, look who I brought here!" Just as he was feeling bored, a familiar call suddenly came from beside Greck.

He looked up impatiently, and saw another handsome and familiar young man standing beside his concubine younger brother Gefuya. After being slightly puzzled, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed that person's hand The hand said happily: "Carlisle, when did you come back, why didn't you come directly to the palace to find me?"

Ge Fuya smiled and punched the young man on the shoulder, and said, "How about it, let me just tell you, although we haven't seen each other for several years, even if you don't speak, elder brother can still recognize you!"

Carlisle also smiled and stepped forward to hug Grek, and then grabbed the latter's arm and said, "Isn't this my father who just returned to the capital from the north last night, and the younger brother immediately thought of meeting his elder brother?"

"Duke Duoris is back too?" Greg's expression was even more joyful, "Did he attend today's banquet?"

"Here, aren't you talking to His Majesty Radagon over there?" Carlisle gestured towards the distance, and saw a middle-aged man who was seven points similar to him in appearance but more majestic and dignified beside Radagon. Each holding a glass of wine and laughing and talking about something.

"Great." Greg sighed, but saw Carlisle leaning forward again, whispering something in his ear.

"Really?" Greg's expression changed when he heard the words, "The stuff in the northern border must be much better than that group of weak garbage in Ningmgfu, right?"

"That's natural," Carlisle said with a hearty smile, "It's only a matter of time before he can be trained, and he will definitely satisfy Big Brother."
