Chapter 720 Dinner

After the end of the Holy Spirit's first qualifier.

Joshua was invited by Queen Yekana to the embassy of the Country of Steel for a banquet.

Originally, Joshua didn't like to attend noble banquets, but Mrs. Marina said, "This may be a good opportunity to find craftsmen from the Iron Kingdom." '

Qiao Xiu had no choice but to drag Shirley to eat together.

It was a coincidence that Joshua met the enemies that the Iron Forger met in the first round at this banquet... the members of the Crowhill team.

"Is that queen taking you as prisoners and planning to take you back to the Iron Kingdom?"

Joshua took a glass of juice and came to the members of the Crohill team. They also looked very reserved in this banquet where the nobles gathered.

Four of the five team members were of civilian origin, and the clothes worn by these four team members were also Croshire-style robes, rather than luxurious dresses.

From this point of view, their style of painting was the closest to that of Joshua and Ciri at this banquet.

"You are... the person I met in the magic arena."

Brela, the leader of the group, recognized the stranger who greeted them suddenly.

"My name is Qiao Xiu, and I can only say that I am someone who can help you."

Joshua looked at the three players who were following Brela in turn. Their performance in the first match was very miserable in front of the Iron Forger's strength.

But their talent in the game can be seen from the ladder score alone.

"Brela."

She didn't recognize Joshua's real identity. Whether it was the creator of the magic net or the director of the movie, only a few people would remember these two identities.

If Tylin stood in front of them, Brera would probably choose to ask for an autograph immediately.

"That's the end of my self-introduction. Can you answer my question just now? Are you kidnapped by Queen Yekana? If it's a nod, I can help you."

When Qiao Xiu said this, he glanced left and right. Many people at the banquet were paying attention to Qiao Xiu.

Because the temperament of Joshua and Ciri seemed out of place in this banquet, so did the four members of Crozier's team.

"Kidnapped...we should be regarded as kidnapped...here."

Brera was also not sure if the previous situation was kidnapping.

"Isn't this kind of forced recruitment that doesn't fill up your favorability really not a slave?"

Shirley looked at the girl named Brela. She looked like a rancher's daughter. She wore a pair of round-frame glasses and a flaxen herringbone braid, and she had a simple temperament. Feel.

The same goes for the other members of Crosir's team... This reminded Ciri of her past self, but she doesn't seem to have changed much now.

"Catching slaves, that queen shouldn't be this kind of person. No, she seems to be able to do it. Anyway, can you tell me what happened?" Qiao Xiu asked.

Brela was very cooperative and told Joshua what happened after the game.

"I rejected Her Royal Highness Ye Kana, but my parents happened to find the magic power arena. Her Highness Ye Kana did not know what conditions she asked, and my parents agreed..."

Brela's current mood probably feels like being sold by her parents.

"Hmm... I can take you back, but you seem to be hesitant." Joshua said.

"Hesitation, this... I just don't think I'm qualified to be the knight." Brera pondered for a while, but still expressed her true inner thoughts.

"The competition among those who cast iron must be very fierce. If I am eliminated, I really don't know what to do. It is really difficult to survive in this world if I only play the holy spirit. I can't think of any other ways to make money .”

"What did you say before, this kid will do great things in the future."

Xili quietly listened to her narration beside her and whispered to Joshua.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to do it for her to resist the temptation to reach the sky in one step and seriously consider gains and losses.

"Three views are so positive that I don't know how to refute them." Joshua pondered for a while and then asked, "I guess you have a lot of concerns."

While Joshua was answering Brera's question... an elderly nobleman quietly came to the table behind Brera with a wine glass.

The nobleman sat in the auditorium in front of Joshua during the game.

He was very concerned about the conversation between Joshua and Brera, and he didn't hide the idea that he was eavesdropping.

"Your concerns and choices are all correct." Joshua didn't lower his voice. This was not a shameful topic. "It's really hard for professional Holy Spirit players to survive in this world."

Joshua's affirmative answer made the old nobleman's hand holding the cup tremble. It seems that he should have an heir who is a member of the Iron Forger, otherwise he would not have appeared in this competition.

"With that queen's character, she will eliminate those weak without hesitation."

Joshua's words successfully scared Brela and the children behind her, including the elderly nobleman who didn't look too good.

"Don't be so nervous, if you are successful as professional players..." Joshua didn't continue after he said this.

Because on the stage of the main hall of the banquet, all the musicians who were playing music walked off the stage, and then came to the front of the stage were five cast iron men in pitch-black armor.

They came to the front of the stage with their heads held high and took off their helmets.

These five iron casters are much younger than the imagination of the nobles present...

"Everyone present, I know you have a question in your heart."

Queen Yekana appeared next to those iron casters, and her eyes scanned everyone present in turn.

The nobles invited to the dinner are basically the pillars of the Iron Kingdom.

"You are wondering whether these young people are qualified to have the status of Iron Forger."

Queen Yekana spoke out loudly what they were thinking.

"What they did when they came to Nolan was just to participate in a few game competitions, which were virtual games in the magic net."

The queen's voice pierced into the hearts of these nobles like the tip of a needle.

All the nobles present have basically the same opinion about these young iron casters...they are not qualified to obtain such a noble status.

"But I'll tell you now..." Queen Yekana's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly, "They are not standing on the field in their own identities today, but in the name of the Kingdom of Steel. …representing our country on that field!"

"Your Highness Yekana, it's just a game, why should you bet the name of the Iron Kingdom, or even the honor?"

A voice broke Queen Yecana's one-man show, and all the nobles turned around in horror to find out who dared to ask such a life-and-death question.

But they didn't find it... Queen Yecana found it, and that was Joshua Arnorod, who stood in the last row of the entire dinner party.

Qiao Xiu knew the answer to the question he asked, and the reason why he raised this question was purely to give her a step to continue the topic.

"Because the Frost Kingdom also participated in this competition." Queen Yekana said this, with a murderous intent in her voice.

"The Silver Frost Fox family in the Frost Kingdom also formed their own team to represent their country in this competition. You want to let Nolan and the whole world know that our country lost to Those guys?"

"Silver Frost Fox? This is absolutely impossible, Your Highness!"

Many of the aristocrats present have hatred for this family. Back then, the friction between the Silver Frost Fox Family and the Kingdom of Steel rose to the level of a war.

"The Iron Forgers are warriors who fight for the honor of the Iron Nation, and here... is the battlefield where the honor of the Iron Nation is bet!"

After Queen Yekana said these words, the five iron casters beside her straightened their backs even more, and the eye sockets of the two iron casters began to turn red.

"You can bet on national glory by playing a game, you still think it's absurd, right?"

Joshua came to the elderly nobleman with the juice and said.

"Absurd...I really can't imagine it." Count Cruz had expected that Joshua would initiate a conversation with him.

"Currently there are more than 400,000 Holy Spirit players on the Monet. These players come from all over the world. You should check out the game section on the Spellcaster Forum." Joshua shook the juice in his hand, and the ice cubes inside released it. The sound of the collision awakened Count Cruz, who was in deep thought.

"You should really see... A group of players from other countries shouted the name of Iron Forger and said cheers on the field. Now there are signs on the caster forum."

Before coming to this dinner, Joshua took a look at the caster forum. The whole forum had already been detonated by the daytime game, and no matter which division was discussing the posts related to today's game.

Iron Forge entered the sight of all Holy Spirit players with an absolutely powerful posture.

Count Cruz didn't speak any more, and Joshua returned to Ciri with the juice.

"Ciri, do you think I'm not doing my job properly?"

Joshua leaned on the table and watched Brera and her other team members discussing whether to reject Queen Yekana's invitation.

"Do you...do you have a job?"

Shirley thought for a long time before finally saying this sentence. She has been with Joshua for so long. The day before yesterday, Joshua was still making movies, and the day after tomorrow he went to write novels and play games. He has no fixed occupation at all.

"Ahem, well, I really don't have any formal occupation."

Joshua shifted his gaze to the scene where the iron casters were toasting in the distance.

With the establishment of the Nolan Open this time, Qiao Xiu is equivalent to cultivating a large group of idols from all over the world.

As for the relationship between e-sports and cultural invasion... Qiao Xiu remembered a joke he encountered when he was playing games, that is, when he was playing black with foreign friends, they would use the four letters 'kale' to represent their games There is a lag and the game needs to be paused.
