Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 146 Palace Dinner

Alphonse found a passerby and asked.

An announcement was made in the palace that a delegation from the Illuminating Kingdom Hailant would arrive today, so traffic control was required.

The Kingdom of Hailant and the Kingdom of Bastian have not established diplomatic relations, and they are separated by high mountains and ridges across the border. They actually sent an envoy here, and they naturally wanted to hold a welcome ceremony as a courtesy.

The people were also very curious about the arrival of foreign envoys, and they all gathered together to watch the excitement.

There were crowds of people on both sides of the avenue.

It seems that the palace already knows when the envoy from the Kingdom of Hailant will arrive.

Otherwise, the arrangements would not have been made in advance.

It can't be done. The red carpet can be rolled out for a day and the soldiers can wait.

Alphonse didn't want to join in the fun. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a salute from the city gate.

Then there was a wave of exclamation, coming from afar.

Alphonse soon understood why the people of the royal capital were amazed.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Hailant has entered the city.

Knights on horses and armed to the teeth are not uncommon.

But horses with wings are very rare.

The eight knights of the Kingdom of Hailant all wear the same style of white full-cover armor, dotted with exquisite golden patterns, which is slightly different from the style of the Kingdom of Bastian.

There are also red necklaces flying on their helmets.

The horses under their crotches are uniformly pure white, without any mottled color, and they all have angel-like wings that are folded on both sides.

The gorgeous carriage that followed was also pulled by two Pegasus horses.

Moreover, all the knights' armors and carriages were glowing slightly, making people unconsciously feel very sacred and solemn.

With his keen spiritual sense, Alphonse has been able to sense the fluctuations of light elements.

I couldn't help but secretly curse, pretending to be a ghost.

It’s no wonder that Alphonse doesn’t have a favorable impression of the Theocratic Kingdom of Light. In many Western fantasy novels, the Theocratic Kingdom of Light appears as the villain.

Even at this time, light magic must be used to show existence.

How can it make Alphonse feel any good?

The magic stick is the magic stick!

But those Pegasus made Alphonse quite jealous.

At first glance, he looks like a good horse, he can fly, he is a good horse among good horses.

I really want to steal two of them back!

But I can only think about it.

Doubts also arose in my heart, why did the Kingdom of Hailant suddenly send a mission to Bastian.

The Cold Wind Territory is located on the northern border, separated from the Hailant Kingdom by mountains, and I have never heard of any envoys coming from that country.

But it might also be because he left the Cold Wind Territory and they flew all the way here.

Passing the border, you have to pass through the Frost Fortress of the Duke of Northland, so it is impossible not to hear someone.

Could it be that Rivera, the envoy from the royal capital, and the others went to the Duke of Northland just because the envoy from the Kingdom of Hailant had to cross the border?

Alphonse shook his head, getting rid of the thought.

No matter what he does, it's none of her business anyway. That's something Queen Junoen needs to consider.

Now the matter of the banquet held in the palace was answered.

Queen Junon must have known the message in advance, so she would hold a dinner to welcome the envoys from the Kingdom of Hailant.

The horn sounded one after another.

The crowd watching the ceremony also became excited, noisily discussing what they had just seen and heard.

The scene in front of the palace was even more grand.

Dressed maids and waiters scattered flower petals along the way, while trumpeters and drummers played music in two columns.

Two teams of knights in bright armor raised their knight's spears, pointing their spear points straight into the sky.

Although the Queen would not come out to greet him in person, she still gave him a very high level of courtesy. It is all because the envoy sent by the Kingdom of Hailant this time is not an ordinary person. In addition to the knights of the Knights of the Sky, there is also one of the archbishops of the Holy See of Light. They should not be treated lightly.

In the evening, Alphonse and Mia were welcomed into the banquet hall of the palace by their attendants with invitation letters.

The bright magic crystal lamps on the four pillars illuminated the spacious main banquet hall, and the light of the magnificent chandelier on the dome of the hall also formed a gorgeous curtain above the hall.

The entire hall seemed like daylight.

Soft and cheerful tunes echoed in the indoor space.

The shiny metal tableware and the swaying wine have an intoxicating sheen, and a light and peaceful atmosphere permeates the hall.

Those who can attend this dinner are all nobles with good family background and reputation in the royal capital.

Alphonse was invited as a baron, and he also brought Mia, who did not have a title, which already represented the queen's importance to them.

No nobleman dared to look down upon him.

Alphonse was not a man who liked parties.

so boring!

I don't even know what I'm doing here.

If you have this time, it’s better to practice more.

It was just that the Queen sent an invitation and had to come.

With the thought of getting a free dinner, I prepared to be a little transparent.

Anyway, I don’t know many people here.

As everyone arrived, the dinner began.

The waiters brought plates of delicious food to the huge tables on both sides of the hall, and tall glasses were filled with crystal red wine.

The nobles attending the meeting all raised their wine glasses and gathered in groups of twos and threes according to gender, chatting and laughing.

At this moment, Alphonse felt like there were countless ducks quacking in his ears.

The topics that men talk about are nothing more than recent hunts and romantic encounters, while women talk about which store has more beautiful clothes, smoother texture, and which place has more exquisite and luxurious jewelry.

Having the five senses too sharp is also a problem.

These unimportant information must be filtered out one by one.

The focus of many nobles' gazes was the queen and the archbishop from the Kingdom of Hailant at the end of the hall.

No one dared to get too close, but they were all secretly speculating on the exchange between the Queen and the Archbishop.

The eight knights of the Sky Knights of the Hailant Kingdom also took off their armor and were in the banquet hall, but they were not easy to get close to.

They only participated in the dinner to protect the archbishop.

Alphonse nonchalantly asked the attendant to put meat on his plate, and also dragged Mia with him.

"Let's eat first before we talk."

No one came to get close to him, and Alphonse was content.

"Is that venison? Get me some!" Pointing to a plate of thinly sliced ​​meat in the distance, Alphonse shouted to the attendant without any scruples.

Mia could only sigh secretly at Alphonse's behavior. His plate was full and he was still not satisfied!

But it's hard to say that he doesn't seem to have anything to do except eat.

At this banquet, compared to those nobles who pay attention to etiquette and have to think about their words a dozen times in their stomachs, people like Alphonse are more comfortable.

Mia didn't understand why she was invited.

The royal banquet was too formal.

Alphonse filled the plate to the brim, forked a few pieces of meat into his mouth, and chewed a few times.

His expression suddenly changed.

It's not because the meat slices are tender and delicious in the mouth, but because the zhenqi in the body is restless, driving away the abnormal factors that invade the body from the mouth.

Damn it, the meat is poisonous!
