I really only stop

...Why are these guys looking at me with unkind faces?

After making a big circle around the venue, Lu Xi found that less than half of the people were secretly looking at himself and Yuxia under the cover of drinking and talking.Although his expression was normal, there seemed to be something wrong with the meaning hidden in his eyes.

Are we doing anything weird?

Following the line of sight of a middle-aged nobleman, Lu Xi looked at the place where he was standing before, and thought about the scene he had just experienced.

The noble and perfect princess gracefully lifted her skirt and bowed her head to Lu Xi.

"Hiss...it seems a bit misleading."

Since they have been doing missions together leisurely, in Lu Xi's view, Yuxia's actions just now were just to show herself the jewelry on her head.However, in the eyes of these noble ministers, Her Royal Highness's gesture may be a little too cordial.

—This is a complete misunderstanding!I've slept on Nana's lap pillow and Zelika's stomach, but heaven has seen it!We haven't touched Yuxia at all!

Grandpa is a very principled person!Those before were just rewards for saving lives!

——Although I think so, this is after all on someone else's occasion, the royal family is Yuxia's hometown, and it's not easy for Lu Xi to stop doing something that would cause a big mess.After standing back to the original place and canceling the time stop, he pretended not to notice anything and continued to chat with Yuxia.

However, Lu Xi also faintly noticed that Yuxia's attitude today is a little more enthusiastic than before.

Not only does he stare closely at my eyes all the time, but he also mutters something in a low voice when he is not paying attention.I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I faced Yuxia, there was a strange vision of being stared at by a lioness.

It's obviously still the same gentle smile with a healing temperament...why?

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

With a high-pitched announcement, the banquet hall that was still noisy just now became quiet in an instant.

PS: Nine is the ultimate number, but the limit of human beings is not limited to this.

PS2: It's still early, it's still early

Chapter 83 Time-stopping is actually a thinking technique!

The emperor is here?

Hearing this announcement, Lu Xi turned to look at the entrance of the auditorium.Because of the light behind him, he could only see a rough outline of the person who came in——

tall.

Contrary to imagination, the current Emperor's figure is unexpectedly tall and burly, even comparable to that of President Faron, who can wield a tall epee alone.

Step by step, his steps were obviously not fast, but it seemed that every step was stepping on people's hearts, full of strange pressure.

When he got closer, Lu Xi saw the true face of His Majesty the Emperor.

It was an extremely resolute face, clearly as calm as an ancient well without waves, but full of unquestionable majesty.

How did he give birth to a daughter like Yuxia who is full of healing temperament?

poke.

Unknowingly, Lu Xi, who was once again in a state of distraction, suddenly felt that someone poked his waist. When he came back to his senses, His Majesty the Emperor had walked in front of him at some point, looking at him quietly.

[time stop].

When he turned on the time stop decisively, Lu Xi let out a long breath of relief.

If there is any advantage to the time-stop skill besides fighting and life-saving, it is that it can give people almost unlimited time to think and react.

Excellent diplomats who are fluent in making things difficult for the enemy in the diplomatic arena are naturally the favored ones of heaven.They can often catch the trap hidden in the words with lightning speed, and think of the corresponding answer in an instant.Lu Xi used to be very envious of this kind of flexible minded person, now that he has the ability to stop time, he can occasionally make a guest appearance.

So, how should I respond to the gaze of the Emperor?

While worrying, Lu Xi suddenly caught a glimpse of the black-haired girl Claire standing far away in the corner, holding a pen and a small book in her hand and writing something.

As a female officer, if she is not with Yuxiya, what is she writing?

Avoiding the tall and tall Emperor, Lu Xi walked to Claire's side, and leaned his face over to have a look——

[Information: The Emperor of Human Empire Information. 】

Ah, it's a real hammer, it's a real hammer, let's pretend we didn't see it.

According to the system, the guy who holds the [Demon Mark] is about equal to the future cadre of the Demon King's Army, at least from the Demon Race camp.And in the heart of the human empire, a guy with pure demonic nature appeared next to the supreme emperor, which in itself is very self-explanatory.

In the past, Lu Xi could still deceive herself with the naive idea of ​​"maybe she was accidentally picked up by the ring", but when she saw the things secretly recorded by the black-haired girl Claire, this illusion was completely shattered .

This is a whistleblower!Inform!

He even used an adjective with obvious meaning like [Human Empire], what's the difference between writing a line on it that says, "The Supreme Demon King himself has personally approved"?

It can't be washed, this one really can't be washed.

After coughing lightly, Lu Xi just wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he had another thought.

The confidential news on President Fallon's desk allowed me to find out the fact that the guild's scarce ore resources were scarce, thus earning me a considerable amount of extra money.And the rank of His Majesty the Emperor is obviously higher than that of Uncle Fallon.

As a member of the demon holders, Claire who has been secretly observing the emperor for a long time, can she bring me some new information?

"Well, then, I'm sorry."

Pretentiously bowing, Lu Xi carefully pulled the little black book out of Claire's slender hand.

[Emperor Observation Diary [-]: Same as the rumors, the emperor handles political affairs until late every day. 】

Well, it's not hard to see that.With the solid and reliable appearance of the emperor's uncle, it's strange that he doesn't think about government affairs.

[Emperor Observation Diary [-]: There seems to be some kind of gap between the emperor and the pope, and we need to continue to investigate and find places that may be used. 】

I have also heard the rumors of the emperor hammering the pope while crying, and it was the vice president of Silver Blade who secretly told me.Ever since I contributed money to help him repair [Silver Moon Dagger], our relationship has become very strong.After a certain drinking high, he slipped out of his mouth for a while—it is said that Uncle Fallon said the news himself.

Unfortunately, no specific reason was asked.Although President Silver Blade is a bit of a pervert in his obsession with weapons, he is still as silent and reliable as he looks.

【Emperor Observation Diary [-]: ...how should I put it. 】

How to say good?

Seeing the oral language written in writing, Lu Xi couldn't help being stunned.

What made Claire record it in the little black book with such an uncertain description must be something that made her very unbelievable——

[On the third weekend of every month, the emperor always pushes away all affairs, and comes to the room of the former empress who has passed away alone, and stays quietly for a day... From this point of view, the rumored The 'Jagged Emperor' seems to have an unknown side? 】

[Super note: It is immoral to use such sad news as intelligence!It's just a little emotional, and absolutely never show it to others! 】

...The emperor, will he visit Yuxia's mother regularly every month?

Looking at the little black book in his hand, Lu Xi couldn't help but froze in place.

From Yuxia's description, I thought that the emperor had the same sense of majesty as he seemed, a person who gave priority to government affairs and had no blood or tears. Now, it seems that this is not the case?

and--

Sighing lightly, Lu Xi stuffed the little black book back into the hand of Claire who was taking notes seriously:

"It's clearly the Demon King's Army, why are you still making those useless remarks. It seems that the holder of the [intellect] demonic nature doesn't seem to be that smart."

"...I won't report you for the time being."

--------

"Your Majesty, hello. I'm Lu Xi, Yuxia's current adventurer teammate. It's an honor to meet you today."

"..."

Looking at the young man in front of him who saluted without being humble, the emperor nodded slightly.

According to what Yuxiya said yesterday, she probably didn't tell her teammates about her true identity.I thought that after hearing about this incident, her teammates would become terrified, but now it seems that the name [Yusia] itself is not even honored.

Well, you've passed the first level.

"I am the current Emperor of the Supreme Empire—Tesla Leonardhild."

To Lu Xi's surprise, facing his self-introduction, the emperor responded equally with his own name.As if seeing the puzzlement in his eyes, the emperor said:

"There is no need to be in awe. This banquet is held by me to welcome Yuxia and all young and promising adventurers. Although I am the host, you are also guests. You just need to enjoy it as much as you can."

... Unexpectedly kind, is it because we are Yushiya's teammates?

Seeing Lu Xi nodded to express his understanding, the emperor simply turned around and gave a look to a man who looked like a minister.

The latter bowed knowingly and announced loudly:

"Banquet, start!"

Chapter 84 Appears!Slap plot!

Anyway, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor Tesla did not show any dissatisfaction with him, Lu Xi was relieved.

According to the records in Claire's small informant book, Lu Xi speculated that the emperor might cherish his family even more than he seemed.That being the case, as Yuxia's teammate, Lu Xi doesn't need to be too cautious in his response, just follow the pattern of [come to a friend's house to visit and say hello to a friend's parents].

Facts have proved that Lu Xi was right in this move.As the emperor of the empire, Tesla also specially returned his own name, which is the best proof.

So now...

"Zelika is really not afraid of anything, she actually got to eat among the nobles so quickly."

Glancing at Celica, who was eating happily, Lu Xi turned around and asked:

"Aren't Yuxia and Nana going to pick something they like to eat? Especially Yuxia, I heard that the princess will go out and socialize in various ways on such occasions."

"Huh? No need?"

Yuxia tilted her head in confusion, showing a quiet smile: "I am the first princess of the Supreme Empire, and as a saint protected by the Holy Light in the church, no one has ever asked me to socialize with anyone. "

...That's right, thinking about it, it's impossible to have a vulgar plot like [Forced Marriage] in Yuxiya's capacity.Among other things, whoever dares to make such a suggestion to the emperor's uncle, I have reason to suspect that his head will be hammered off by the violent emperor.

"I, I'm not used to such an environment..."

Looking around at the nobles who gathered together in twos and threes and whispering something softly, Nana moved the cat's head brooch in front of her somewhat uncomfortably, and moved a little closer to Lu Xi's side:

"So, just stay with everyone like this."

"Ah."

Seeing the discomfort in the girl's eyes, Lu Xi hummed softly, and handed the delicate snack to Nana:

"Just get used to it slowly. Don't forget that this is Yuxia's hometown. If you think of it as going to a friend's house now, it might be easier."

Unlike Yuxia, who also has no experience in making friends, but has a strong affinity and a little bit of natural stupidity, Nana is really not good at communicating with people.It would be cruel to force her to strike up conversations with strangers.

However, there are two very good-looking girls here in this corner, as the only male in the middle, will I be troubled by the noble son or something?

Thinking of this, Lu Xi was amused by himself:

"How is it possible? It's not an ancient fantasy novel..."

"—Your name is Lucy, right?"

Some blunt questions sounded in front of him. Looking up, a noble young man with blond curly hair raised his head and looked down from above:

"It doesn't look too strong, is it really the companion of Her Royal Highness?"

--------

To find fault?

Lu Xi's spirit was greatly lifted, and several classic face-slaps were instantly recalled in his mind.The fish-touching system also became excited, and n light screens representing suggestions popped up suddenly:

[A special event has been detected, and several available countermeasure templates are now provided to the host. 】

[Yijie Aotianliu: Lift your head higher than him, don't talk nonsense, slap him on the face, step on your feet before the other party reacts, and spit.It is recommended to use a famous line: "I, Lu Xi, was also provoked by a guy like you? Hand or leg, you can only keep one!"]

[Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger: Walk to his side with a smile, after a few words of flattery, slap him, and before the other party reacts, step on his feet and spit.It is recommended to be accompanied by a famous line: "Be careful before finding faults, you will not be so lucky next time."]

[Overbearing president flow: Take out money from your pocket and throw it on his face, slap him across the face, and before the other party reacts, step on his feet and spit.It is recommended to be accompanied by a famous line: "Is it enough? There is more!"]

[Go up, go up, host!fight!fight! 】

...It's really unreasonable. Have you only read ancient novels?

Secretly despised the strange database of the system, before Lu Xi had time to move, the golden-haired curly-haired man walked up to Yuxia, and gracefully gave a noble salute under the latter's frowning gaze:

"Your Highness Yuxia, hello, this is Stron Vanyas, A-level adventurer."

"Hello."
