Alien world

Chapter 357 15. At the Banquet

Auditorium of Salts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This banquet hosted by the college is in full swing.

In addition to the students, there were noble and wealthy parents who wanted to get to know Annan, but they were blocked by the girls surrounding Annan—fortunately, Annan remembered the curfew and asked Olmedo and the others to go back first.

The fishing duel between Fast and Laila was also postponed.

It took Annan more work than the game itself to get rid of them.He went to the long table and grabbed a piece of pastry, and there was a discussion about him from the side:
"King of the North? Heh... What a big name, probably a self-proclaimed nobleman in some small place. But he is really qualified... Sturves College beat Saltz College half to death, and he beat Sultz College to death. Torvis Academy beat them to death."

For the sake of compliments, Annan didn't say anything, and came near Dean Brahim holding the pastry.The dean, who was talking to a middle-aged nobleman, said something and waved to Annan.

Annan stuffed the pastry into his mouth and asked, "Dean, who is the next opponent and when will it start?"

"Are you in a hurry?" Dean Brahim's smile never disappeared after returning from the arena.

"I am a lord, and the domain is like a mage's staff to me."

"You rest for two more days, and those in the etiquette department should bring new news." Dean Brahim handed Annan a glass of red wine, "Then, King of the North who brought honor to the academy, what can the academy reward you for?" Woolen cloth?"

"Territory, Jinnar is also fine."

Annan's answer was very Eli Moas, not an ivory tower at all.

"It seems that our champion is not demanding."

Dean Brahim looked out of the banquet, and a new guest had arrived.

The new guests did not make the atmosphere of the banquet warm, but became a piece of ice added to the boiling water.

Because the people who came were from Stowies College.

Annan didn't intend to join the vortex formed, and picked up a glass of red wine. The fragrance of the fermented grape fruit made him unable to resist tasting it.The sweetness is very light, and it can only be said that it smells better than it tastes.

Luther King, who had faintly become Annan's follower, leaned closer and whispered: "Your Highness, do you know? There is a man in Sturtoweis College who has a good impression of you."

"Good feeling?"

"Yeah, the kind that likes you quietly..."

Under the influence of red wine, a scene appeared in Annan's mind for no reason while holding the wine glass:
In the soothing and tender music in "The Fall of the Mage Tower", on the rippling seaside beach, a boy is walking on the deserted beach, and a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounds:

"What a coincidence, you're here too."

The girl with her trouser legs behind her back has her hands behind her back, and her smile is like the bright sunshine. "Do you want to be together?"

"Okay...okay"

As the sun sets, the young and tender young girls walk on the white sandy beach. Under the sunset, the long and narrow shadows gradually stick together——

"The person who has a crush on you is here!"

The exclaimed Luther King stepped aside, and behind him, a young man walked towards Annan.

Delphi uttered in a deep low voice: "You are younger and...handsome than I thought."

The music in his head stopped abruptly, and when the lingering sound echoed, Annan passed the wine glass to Luther King indifferently: "Sorry, I remembered that the dog at home forgot to feed it, so excuse me."

Annan, who didn't stay long, misunderstood Luther King, and said with hostility: "You were defeated by His Highness alone, and you still come to the banquet to make trouble?"

"Your Highness? This is a misunderstanding, we came here with good intentions."

There are not many conflicts between Stowes College and Salts College,
At most, Stolves College looks down on Saltz College, the professors from Stowes College look down on the professors from Salis College, and the students from Stowes College look down on the students from Saltz College.

But just like Stowes College beat Saltz College and wished them to win the ranking for the city of innocence, Annan cried Stowes College, and they also wished Annan to win the ranking.

Annan, who was far away from the vortex, was approached by Alice again.As the protagonist of this celebration dinner, it is difficult for Annan to be alone tonight.

"Don't get carried away by vanity."

Alice said without reason: "Those who like you because of money will leave because you lose your wealth; those who like you because of your looks will change their hearts when you are old; away..."

"You suggest that I add this story to the script?"

"I'm reminding you, Annan. This place is different from the northern border. You will see countless things you have never seen before, wealth, beauty... Countless geniuses are lost because of them."

"Don't worry, I know what I want?"

"What do you want?" the upright Alice asked directly.

"The rat man."

Alice looked at Annan strangely: "Could it be that the rumor is..."

"Elves, orcs. Goblins, kobolds, tauren, gnolls, demons... The races in this world can put aside barriers and hatred and live together."

Not counting Xingyue Bay, there were only a few dozen alien races at the time, so the atmosphere was similar to the town before the alien race order.

What else did Alice want to say, and hurried steps suddenly broke into the banquet.

The deputy dean's staggering footsteps that were about to fall made Annan, who was writing "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" recently, think that he was going to shout out in the next moment: troll invasion.

But it was about the same. I saw the vice-principal running in front of the principal, Brahim, and the hurried words could be heard in half the auditorium: "Officials from the Imperial Etiquette Department are here! They are in trouble!"

The voice fell, and the sound of neat leather boots stepped on the steps outside the auditorium.As officials of the etiquette department, their etiquette is impeccable.It's just that they made the lively banquet suddenly cold.

Seeing them walking towards him, Annan had to confirm that the banquet was not held in his own name.

They came for Annan's identity—not as the king of the North, but as a student.

Annan was vilified for not being a student.

The plot that Annan was looking forward to did not appear on the field, but appeared at the celebration dinner after the game.

But the trouble was eliminated as soon as it appeared.Dean Brahim told the officials that this did not exist, and the visiting Sturtweiss College was also forced to testify for Annan.

Not long after, the college professor rushed over with the parchment signed by Annan on the day he entered school. At that time, there were still several days before the announcement of the Imperial Contest.

The news of the Empire Contest may have been discussed in the imperial capital for a long time, but if Annan could even know such secrets in advance...why does the dean need to help with the fiefdom?
The etiquette officials who confirmed Annan's innocence left.But with their arrival and the quiet retreat of those noble and wealthy parents with unclean buttocks, the banquet could no longer maintain a lively atmosphere.

The students left one after another, ready to continue their second round.
