Chapter 716 Twelve Zeros After a Word

Claire smiled knowingly, and stopped persuading her, but staggered her body a little to the side, standing in the upwind direction, blocking the unruly but refreshing wind.

Tang Fang, Elena, and Kylinia boarded a shuttle, and the others boarded another shuttle.

The heat wave ejected from the engine swept away the dampness and coolness around the tarmac, and the hot wind whizzed away with carpet-like petals, and quickly spread to the distance, creating a rain of petals, which rose into the air and then fell one after another. .

Accompanied by the noise of air jets, the two shuttles pulled out two long blue flames in the night sky, and finally turned into a small bright spot and disappeared.

The tide of flowers subsides, the heat flow cools down, the peach forest returns to tranquility, and the mountains and waters in the distance also sink into dreamland.

The two shuttles did not head towards "Cabreto" together, and the shuttle carrying Tang Fang, Elena, and Kyrenia flew straight to the area where the Skywalker Guards were located.

Hymn Will hosted a banquet this time mainly to treat Tang Fang and Elena. It was inappropriate to bring so many people there, and he didn't know what would happen in the palace. The less people around him, the easier it would be to act.

Claire, Igger Stetman and the others are also not interested in any dinner parties. They want to see the prosperity of "Decapeln" and buy some things to decorate the room by the way, because the "Angel" is big enough, Most women like to decorate their rooms beautifully.

Egger Stetman is going to get some gadgets to perfect an idea that suddenly came up during the trip, and...his hair needs to be done again, and by the way, enjoy life with the money that Captain Tang gave .

He is not a pedantic old man like Valentine, work is work, life is life. Work and life cannot be confused at all.

He is an emotional man, cooler than Captain Tang, handsomer than Captain Tang, more connotative than Captain Tang... although only he thinks so.

Byron asked Tang Fang to borrow two ghost agents, but did not say what to do. He didn't ask too much.

When I saw Henrietta again, the old man had already returned to the magnetic levitation chair, and his complexion remained unchanged. In short, he was much better than the eve of the joint meeting.

It was rare for Melor to have no companions. According to the regent, he hated this kind of royal dinner that was not nutritious and full. Sometimes it even provokes a lot of unpleasantness, so it is better not to participate. At this moment, under the circumstances, it would be better for him to stay at the headquarters of the 23rd Ranger Regiment.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Tang Fang knew what he meant very well.

After all, this is the first meeting between me and Psalmwell, and before the "Angel" made such a big deal on the first floor of the warp interception network, even some workers in "Nasero" knew that Tang Fang of the Star Alliance Captain Tang and Miss Elena, the future owner of the Duchy of Kenar, have arrived in the capital. It is very unlikely that Hymn Will will tamper with during the dinner, but there is nothing wrong with being careful. Melore is in command of the 23rd Ranger Regiment The Department can respond to possible changes as soon as possible and provide additional support for Tang Fang and Henrietta.

At such a critical moment. It is important to prevent problems before they happen.

Ten minutes later, a fleet consisting of a medium-sized shuttle, two armed shuttles, and 3 frigates and 1 destroyer left the area where the Skywalker Guard was located. Drive to "Cabretto".

During the flight, Tang Fang brought up the content of the previous conversation with Mellor, hoping that Henrietta could inject a sum of money into "Morning Star Foundry", so as to start the "Crystal" atmospheric modification plan and the plan to build a production space station as soon as possible.

Maybe he knew about these problems through Melore's mouth, the old man said that there is no problem, and later he will order his subordinates to raise trillions of star coins and remit them to the Star Alliance. Inject into the "Morningstar Foundry" enterprise account.

Tang Fang secretly lamented that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is indeed a local tyrant, and he was in "Babylon" back then. Adam Oliver almost racked his brains to raise 9,000 tons of zero elements, and then look at the heads of these countries. Each of them is so rich and powerful that it is staggering.

He said that these funds will be used as Henrietta's shares to participate in the commercial activities of "Morning Star Foundry" in the aerospace field.

In the past, he rejected Henrietta's involvement in "Morning Star Foundry" business activities, but it is different now. Firstly, the regent's wealth and wealth can help him improve the infrastructure as soon as possible, and secondly, "Morning Star Foundry" will rely on The old man, as the regent of the United Kingdom of Turanx, can help him introduce big business and solve some troubles.

Henrietta could only shake her head and smile wryly at this, and then told Elena in a teasing tone that her fiancé is a very, very shrewd man, and she should think of a way to take good care of him, lest this guy spend the money he earned elsewhere. on the woman.

The meaning of a man's existence should be to conquer the world, but what a woman should do is to conquer men. No matter what method is used, in short, it is right to make men inseparable from themselves.

Elena blushed at what he said, and said that if Tang Fang dared to waste the money that should belong to Miss Elena on other women in the future, it would castrate him...

Then, Elena's face turned even redder.

The entire cabin was quiet for a long time, until the waiter told several people that the shuttle had entered "Cabretto" and was expected to arrive at Hal's Palace in 5 minutes.

"Decapburn" is in summer, and "Khan Norton" at 18:00 is still a long way from the horizon.

The frigate and destroyer remained in the "Cabreto" high-altitude orbit, and the three shuttles continued to drive, finally landing on the small apron directly in front of Hal's Palace.

This is an honor only available to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent. Other princes and lords can only go to the airport in the east of Hal Palace.

Henrietta, Tang Fang, Elena, Kylenia, and several attendants got off the shuttle, passed through the main entrance, and headed towards the palace where the central banquet hall of the palace was located.

On the way, four black warriors joined the queue and walked at the end.

Seeing them for the first time, Tang Fang's pupils suddenly shrank, and a subtle sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although the four black warriors were wrapped in thick power armor, they couldn't escape his eyes. To be precise, they were scanned by the detectors.

On the surface, they are no different from ordinary people. It's just that they are stronger and more reticent. In fact, even if they are not clones, they are probably inseparable from the armed forces of God. The biggest possibility is the guard who has been strengthened after being injected with a special drug.

A group of people walked through the long avenue, the setting sun covered the whole palace with a layer of golden gauze, "Khanorton" hid behind the turret, and secretly looked at the people passing by in the front square.

Those maids are also secretly looking at Tang Fang and the others, or other guests with high titles, if they see fashionable and gorgeous ladies. There will be eyes mixed with complex emotions such as envy, jealousy, sneer, and indifference.

The evening wind suddenly picked up, wrinkling the water in the pool and blowing away the reddish maple leaves.

There was also the sound of wind blowing around Tang Fang and the others, very lightly, like dead leaves falling on the water.

Tang Fang blinked. His eyes turned to a certain corner of the palace --- at the end of the greenery was a line of silver, burning quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

According to the scanning results from the detector, there is the data room of the entire palace, with a large number of guards stationed there.

The reason why he went to the banquet happily was that on the one hand, it was a fixed procedure, which could also be said to be the traditional etiquette of the king before he canonized the lord. On the other hand, he wanted to take this opportunity to hack into the palace data network to see if he could find information about God's armed forces.

The headwind just now was a sign of departure. With the help of the detector and Emma, ​​they should be able to complete this task relatively easily.

Several people continued to move forward, and some nobles they met on the road took off their hats to Henrietta to salute. Celebrities and wives also squeezed their skirts and bowed their knees to show respect.

Elena would nod to them, or return salutes, her movements were impeccable, and she had obviously been trained by Kyrenia and Buffel on the way here, and had achieved good results.

On the other hand, Tang Fang. Without hesitation about those slightly astonished gazes, he just nodded slightly. It looked a little arrogant.

Of course, he has the capital of arrogance. No one could say anything, and no one dared to say anything.

Frankimir's death is a good lesson. Even Serves, who is as proud as a white swan, was splashed with feces by Captain Tang. Prince Tyron dared not speak out, let alone It's them.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree. Even though he kept walking behind Henrietta, he still couldn't hide his brilliance.

His brilliance comes from the disgrace of others.

As they approached the banquet hall, there were gradually more people, mainly agents and waiters who were responsible for the security of the venue, as well as officials standing in twos and threes chatting in the dim night.

The presence of the Prince Regent and Tang Fang immediately caused a commotion in the crowd, and they all bowed in silence, and then carefully looked at a man and a woman who were behind.

In fact, most of the people here are just foils. The king and queen are going to entertain Tang Fang and Elena. They are just green leaves decorated with flowers.

There are also some people whispering about Kyrenia, who was left behind. She threw the bodyguards of the 7th prince out of the venue in "Aradelle" and made her a celebrity in the political arena. Now Captain Tang came to the palace for a banquet He also brought her by his side instead of an old man like Bafil, one can imagine the status of this woman in "Morning Star Casting".

Henrietta didn't linger at the front door, and went straight up the steps to the main venue, followed by Tang Fang, Elena, Kylenia, and an old butler in a suit.

The situation in the hall is similar to the outside, except that there are fewer people, basically minor nobles and department officials who have nepotism with the royal family, people with real status, and envoys of lords from all over the world have not yet arrived.

This is not to say that Tang Fang and Henrietta came early, because apart from a few main figures, the remaining nobles and celebrities received invitations to receptions from Queen Elizabeth instead of banquet invitations from His Majesty the King.

The banquet attended by Hymn Will, Elizabeth, Henrietta, Turamon, Tang Fang, Elena and others ended, and the reception was next.

The banquet is used to show the king's kindness and enhance the friendship between the monarch and his subjects. The reception is to provide Elena with an opportunity for the upper class of the kingdom to know her.

Of course, compared to the once cumbersome noble etiquette, the current society has been simplified a lot. Only the paranoid members of the royal family of the Sauron Empire would be critical and spend a lot of time learning the red tapes that were popular during the Renaissance.

In the depths of the hall is a staircase covered with red carpet, which is divided into left and right by the center, leading to the corridor on the second floor. The banquet hall where the king and queen entertained Tang Fang and Elena is on the left.

A huge chandelier with patterns and silver decorations hangs from the ceiling, exuding bright rays of light, reflecting the entire hall resplendent and regal.

On the walls outside the banquet hall are portraits of the successive kings of the United Kingdom of Turanx.

Yes. It's a portrait, not a photograph.

The court painters can always paint them as heroic, even if it is the recognized useless king, Hymn Will's father, Hilnada Olipold.

Push open the door of the banquet hall. Inside is a large suite, and there are some people sitting in the small hall. Unlike the individual guests below, they seem very quiet, thinking about their own thoughts or admiring the exquisite decoration of the palace, and occasionally speaking a word or two.

Tramon is here. Tyrone was here, Gilcott was here, and several other important members of the royal family.

Two maids came over and led Elena and Kyrenia to another small hall, before leaving. Kyrenia told him in a low voice, don't fight with Turamon and others before the dinner started, it would be really, really embarrassing.

She knew very well that if this guy went crazy, all manners and self-restraint would be bullshit.

"Don't worry, they can't beat me."

Kyrenia told him to pay attention. Don't make trouble, he said that others can't beat him...

And the volume is so loud that everyone in the room can hear it.

His Royal Highness the Regent shook his head and smiled wryly. Kyrenia's teeth itch with hatred. Turamon snorted coldly, and didn't make any further comments, and Tai Lun just had a cold old face, as if he hadn't woken up.

Prince Tai Lun did not wake up, he suffered from insomnia last night, because what happened on the first floor of the warp speed interception net was embarrassing. As a great nobleman, he has never been so ashamed since he was a child.

Even those two beautiful maids. And the waiters who served the princes with tea in the corridor couldn't help but sneak a few glances at him. Surprised that this young man without a noble title spoke so bluntly.

The people in the lounge are all prince-level figures, and they are almost his father's and grandpa's generation in terms of age.

As a young man with a strong physique, these old people can't beat him, but... In this situation, to be honest, is this guy an idiot?

Of course Captain Tang is not an idiot, he just knows better than everyone else. It doesn't matter if Tyron loses face, and it doesn't matter if Turamon loses face, but the hosts of the dinner today are Hymn Will and Elizabeth.

They are aristocrats and gentlemen, and they are just commoners and foreigners, and they don't represent any big figures or powers. So, what he wants to do and what he wants to say, he really doesn't have to think about who he is sorry for.

What do nobles think of themselves? Hehe, it is better to use force to let them know that kind of thing.

Moreover, there is another important reason. The main purpose of coming to "Khanos" is to find trouble with God's armed forces. His Majesty the King must have arranged a good show waiting for him.

The more ignorant he is of flattery, the more reason His Majesty the King has to do it.

Yes, he was fishing, and the bait was himself.

Fortunately, people like Turamon and Tai Lun are not like the serious-minded Captain Tang. They didn't get angry, at least they didn't get angry on the spot. They just didn't look at him, as if they didn't hear anything.

Nobles always pay attention to self-cultivation and extraordinary bearing, especially in public places. As for whether they will tear off their masks and camouflage when they return to their homes, and roar bloodthirsty like wild beasts, only they know.

Elena and Kyrenia left, and the small hall returned to calm.

Captain Tang, who was the most restless, was attracted by the PDA handed over by Henrietta, or rather appeased, because the 12 "0"s after the word "1" made him a little dizzy.

Transferring money is a very time-consuming thing, especially transferring from multiple accounts to one account. Fortunately, Henrietta has some industries in the free trade market of "Babylon". It is estimated that after the reception, the account of "Morning Star Casting" Assets will be as high as 1.75 trillion.

Nobody dislikes money, and Captain Tang is no exception.

Rather than teasing the nerves of several princes, he prefers the feeling of collecting money.

In fact, things like "money" are nothing but a tool used by the social elite to exploit the people at the bottom.

His performance was really "frustrated", but Captain Tang would rather be despised, as long as he could collect money, because that represented many, many elements, many, many warships.

No matter how great a person's ideal is, or just want to be a slacker who sleeps until he wakes up naturally and plays games with hand cramps, he must first have the capital to settle down.

Again, he is just a layman, living in a different world from the noble gentlemen present.

Several princes felt sorry for him, so why didn't he feel sorry for them.

The silence didn't last long before it was broken by Drizzt, His Majesty's most important vassal, walked in from the corridor leading directly to the banquet hall, glanced gloomyly at the people present, and saw the figures of Henrietta and Tang Fang bowing their heads to pay respects , and then told them in a humble and peaceful tone that the king and queen had arrived and invited them to their seats.

Everyone got up, Henrietta walked in the front, followed by Gilcott, Tyron, Turamon...

Members of the royal family walked into the corridor in order of seniority, and Tang Fang, one of the guests of honor, chose to be last with Drizzt.

The Minister of Internal Affairs didn't say anything, he just smiled, and then glanced at the shadow in the corner of the lounge.

Not long after the kings left, a ray of light burst out from the shadow Tang Fang looked at when he left, and a figure was printed on the blanket embroidered with pansies. Mr. J stepped into the lounge, sat where Turamon had been, picked up a little bit of warm coffee on the coffee table next to him, and slowly poured it into his mouth.

His movements were very light, and he couldn't hear the slightest sound. It was as quiet as coffee poured into a bottomless deep stream, not a human throat. (to be continued)
