Chapter 449 Banquet
Located in the mothership of the Inquisition, the lights are brilliant.
The maids were coming in and out, placing various foods and drinks on the table, and the melodious music was playing, making the golden hall look extremely grand.
"I never expected that the first banquet held would be for this..."
Looking at the people talking in front of him, Duanmuhuai complained helplessly.
"What does it matter, Mr. Knight?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaints, An smiled and held his arm.
"It's rare for everyone to get together, wouldn't it be nice to have a banquet to entertain them?"
"That's right..."
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders. He was just not used to such occasions, but he had no objection to An's words.
In fact, the reason why Duanmu Huai held the banquet this time was also very simple. All the forces sent people to help. As a judge, Duanmu Huai certainly would not fail to show his loyalty to the landlord, so he simply found a banquet hall in the mothership. A banquet to entertain representatives from all forces.
"Then I'll go say hello to the others. Mr. Knight, remember to have a chat. Everyone misses you."
After saying this, An held up her skirt and left with a smile, while Duanmuhuai shook his head and sighed silently. At this moment, a voice sounded from beside him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Knight, it's great to see you in such good spirits."
Hearing this voice, Duanmuhuai turned his head and saw an elf girl in a dress looking at Duanmuhuai with a smile and saluted him. Duanmuhuai was stunned for a moment when he looked at the elf girl in front of him.
"Ah, President Hannah, it's been a long time indeed. It seems that you are doing well too."
The elf girl in front of him was Hannah, the student council president of Manalia Magic Academy. Duanmu Huai had interacted with her several times when he was studying at Manalia Magic Academy.
"I have graduated and am now the captain of Her Royal Highness the Princess's Guards."
Hannah smiled at Duanmuhuai.
"This time I will be responsible for leading the team to go to that world with Her Highness the Princess. Please give me your guidance when the time comes."
"That's no problem, but... you have just graduated from Manalia, right? Is it really okay to go directly to the actual battlefield?"
Duanmuhuai has seen too many heroes on the training ground and bears on the battlefield. Although these graduates must have undergone actual combat training, actual combat training and actual combat are two different things after all.
"Don't worry, this is one of the reasons why we are here. Since we are Her Royal Highness's personal bodyguards, this is a test we must overcome."
Speaking of this, Hannah winked at Duanmu Huai.
"On the contrary, Her Majesty Gu Leiya... you still need to ask Mr. Knight to pay more attention."
"oh?"
Duanmuhuai looked in the direction Hannah hinted, and saw Gu Leiya sitting in a corner of the banquet hall with a few people, looking quite... lonely.
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
Duanmuhuai nodded to Hannah, and then strode to Gu Leiya's side.
"Gulea? What's wrong with you?"
"Ah? Mr. Knight?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's voice, Gu Leiya jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail, and then she lowered her head dejectedly.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
"Um?"
"That...I didn't find many people..."
Speaking of this, Gu Leiya also bit her lip and lowered her head. At first, she also followed An's suggestion, thinking that she should be able to bring a lot of people. But what Gu Leya didn't expect was that many dragon people were not only unwilling to accept her invitation, but even resented her. In the eyes of those dragon people, if it hadn't been for Gu Leiya's father and the king of Regnis who insanely married a human wife, their parents would not have followed suit, and in the end they would have given birth to people who were neither human nor dragons. Mixed race.
Therefore, Gu Leiya's invitation did not have much effect. In the end, she only brought three or four people... No wonder she was so depressed.
"Okay, that's not important. Sometimes the essence is more valuable than the more valuable."
Looking at Gu Leiya who was downcast, Duanmuhuai also patted her head and comforted her, and then looked at the people around Gu Leiya.
"You are……………"
What caught Duanmuhuai's attention the most was a pair of twin girls not far behind Gu Leiya. One of them had long golden hair, and the other had long silver hair. They also have dragon horns and tails like Gulea. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that each of them only has one wing.
That's right, one, not a pair.
The blond girl only has the right wing behind her, while the silver-haired girl only has the left wing behind her... Well, people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will definitely not feel comfortable seeing this.
Sensing Duanmuhuai's gaze, the blonde girl's expression stiffened slightly, but she still stepped forward, looked at Duanmuhuai and introduced herself.
"I am Lumiore, the eldest daughter of the Katagi family. This is my sister, Algent. This time I came to participate in the battle at the invitation of Princess Guleya. Hello, Lord Judge. We will definitely Live up to expectations and show the glory and strength of our family.”
"Well, that's up to you."
Hearing Lumio'er's words, Duanmu Huai didn't say much, but just nodded. He was sure that the sisters also had some secrets, but since the other party didn't want to tell them, he didn't bother to inquire.
After briefly chatting with the other party, Duanmu Huai turned around and left. However, not long after he turned around, he saw a person appear in front of him. She is petite, has short green hair, and wears a big white bow-like ribbon on her head. She looks like a noble lady.
"Hello, it's our first time meeting you, Mr. Duanmuhuai."
The girl in front of her lifted up her skirt and performed an aristocratic courtesy towards Duanmu Huai.
"I am the captain of the Lisas Guards, Kirti Sharp. This time, I am leading the guards in the name of Lady Leia to assist."
"Are you the captain of the Guards?"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that Liya did have an elegant and beautiful bodyguard composed entirely of girls wearing golden armor, but such a young girl was among them?
"Of course, although I am not as good as Captain Layla, I have been working hard to improve. It is precisely because of this that I took the initiative to ask Lady Leia to participate in this mission. Please feel free to watch my performance, absolutely You won’t be disappointed.”
As she spoke, Qildi looked at Duanmuhuai quietly.
Is this Lady Leia’s sweetheart? It is indeed outstanding... but what abilities does he have?
Thinking of this, Qildi also snickered inwardly.
If she can climb up to this position, she can naturally gain a higher status and strength. In this way, she will be one step closer to her goal. It is for this reason that she took the initiative to apply to Queen Leia for the position. Captain, lead the team here.
As for the strength of this man, let me see clearly from a close distance!
Of course, Duanmuhuai didn't know what thoughts were running in Qildi's little head. He just had a brief chat with the other party, and then Qildi said goodbye and left, because at this time, someone else appeared. In front of Duanmu Huai.
"Long time no see, Lord Judge."
"Wuluze... you have changed a lot."
Looking at Uluze in front of him, Duanmuhuai couldn't help but sigh. He still remembered that when he saw Uluze in the resistance camp, he was just a man who could only sit in a wheelchair and looked like a quiet man. A sickly girl-like existence. But now she is wearing a military uniform, with a heroic appearance, and looks like a real soldier.
“I didn’t expect King Gandhi to send you here.”
"I didn't expect it, but King Gandhi said that I have rich experience in this area."
After saying this, Wuluze smiled bitterly, and Duanmuhuai certainly knew what Wuluze meant - back in Seth, she was the leader of Bingyan, the organization that resisted Seth, and now Duanmuhuai is going to He If Mann causes trouble, Uruze is basically "returning to his old business."
"Anyway, I still want to thank you, Mr. Inquisitor. If it weren't for you, Seth wouldn't be what he is now. Although the gap between magicians and ordinary people still exists, the situation has been getting better and better. It's getting better."
"That's good, you can handle these things yourself."
Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously. After all, this was their own choice. What kind of consequences it would have could only depend on their own destiny.
"Ah, you are here, Lord Judge."
However, just when Duanmuhuai and Uluze finished their greetings, another woman came to him. She had long aqua hair, a beret, white clothes, and a hand in her hand. abacus.
"Thank you for taking care of my business this time. I thank you here."
"Uh...who are you?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Duanmu Huai quickly went through his memory and was sure that he definitely did not know her. At this time, Zhi Jinxiang came over and said to Duan Muhuai with a speechless expression.
"This is Miss Copandon Dot from the Free Cities Alliance... She is responsible for the logistics and supply of the entire team."
"Oh I got it……………"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded. He had heard Zhi Jinxiang say that the Free Cities Alliance would send a team to take care of material supply issues. It seemed that the person in front of him was the leader.
So Duanmuhuai also stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Miss Copanton."
"You're welcome, Lord Judge. In fact, whether I can make money this time depends on you."
"make money??"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.
"Of course we will pay."
“It’s not just a matter of supplies.”
Copandong shook his head with a smile and picked up the abacus.
"In fact, now I am seizing the opportunity to short the Kingdom of Herman. If everyone's resistance actions go smoothly, then Herman's financial market will be in a mess, and by then I will be able to make a lot of money... …So, this time I am here not just for business, but also for cooperation…You are my partner!”
"………………"
Good guy, your abacus is really a snap.
"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"Of course I'm not afraid. After all, you are a strong man who destroyed the former Demon King and a group of demons. I believe it is worth putting a lot of money on you this time! This is one of the reasons why our Dort Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate with you!"
"………………"
How can I put it, this is really the nature of capitalists.
"Then... I hope you can get what you want."
Duanmu Huai silently held Kepandong's hand and spoke.
Perhaps, the Tribunal also needs such a person?
