Chapter 500 Banquet, Zong's Anger 【Subscribe】【5K】

Today's drink is not cider, but serious wine.

Sober up before the dinner starts.

I have to say that part of the culture in this world is similar to the Western culture in the earth.

After everyone's table was filled with a glass of wine, Baron Bezos took the initiative to stand up.

He raised his glass and said aloud.

"Let's toast to the meeting!"

"Cheers to the meeting!"

...

Everyone also got up one after another, raised their wine glasses and touched them in the air.

This is a pre-dinner etiquette.

Baron Bezos looked in good spirits, and he took the initiative to raise his glass and drank it.

Others also took a sip or a large sip.

Only Zong Shen did it directly like Baron Bezos.

After sitting down, the dinner officially started.

The soldiers that Zong Shen brought were all old fried dough sticks, and they took the initiative to fork dishes on the plate.

Baron Bezos observed the warriors with interest.

After the previous introduction, he already understood the specific arms of these soldiers.

Zong Shen didn't go into too much detail, just gave a rough introduction.

Among them, he was very interested in the intermediate space mage Rhys Ulysses.

Although the guy looks like an old lady, space mages are too rare.

Not even in the great city of Rentax.

As far as he knew, even a squadron was dissatisfied.

Those space mages are the elite of the elite and are often used to perform special tasks.

For example, opening a large teleportation array, or cooperating with a master blacksmith to make space storage props.

For ordinary people, it is not easy to find someone with the talent of a mage.

And among all the Mage talents, it is even more difficult to find talents in the two lines of time and space.

Each of them can be cultivated by key points. Because of the inclination of resources, it is not difficult to cultivate them to the third and fourth orders.

As for the others, they seem to be elite soldiers.

This is even more true in his eyes, including his brother Zong.

Zong Shen soaked in the hot spring in the territory last night, but his body was washed clean.

However, the blood stains on the armor, helmet, and boots on his body were not cleaned.

After a day, those bloodstains had dried up and turned black.

Such a shape, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bloody battle.

Zong Shen calmly forked a piece of fried very tender steak and placed it on the plate.

Put it lightly on your mouth and take a bite.

The steak is fried just right, the gravy is full, and the skin has a rich aroma of oil.

Here I have to praise the chef in Baron Bezos' castle.

There is indeed a real level.

He chewed slowly and asked casually.

"Sir, where are your son and daughter?"

Hearing his question, Baron Bezos put down his glass and said with a smile.

"Hadro volunteered to escort the refugees."

"As for Steven, who followed the Dragon Eagle team to the Rentax giant city a few days ago."

"In less than a month, a grand banquet will be held in the giant city."

"Unfortunately, this banquet is by invitation only, and I can only go with my family."

"Steven takes a step first, just as she also wants to play in the giant city."

Baron Bezos said lightly, forked a piece of fish steak, and chewed it in his mouth.

Zong Shen turned his head, looked at the steak he had bitten on the plate, and nodded casually.

He naturally knew what the banquet in the giant city was all about.

To this end he had a pact with the bard Englishman.

"I know there is going to be a banquet in the great city of Rentax."

"My lord, I think we might be able to meet again at the banquet."

After Zong Shen finished speaking, he took a big bite of the steak.

Then he shoved the rest into his mouth.

These small pieces of pan-fried steak are only the size of the palm of your hand, and they still have to be eaten hot to be delicious.

"Oh? Brother Zong is going to participate in the competition?"

Baron Bezos suddenly became interested again, and it is almost a tradition to hold competitive conferences.

Not only the great city of Rentax, but all the great cities in this continent will hold a competition when they hold a grand aristocratic banquet.

In general, a huge city will hold a banquet in three to five years.

The organizers of the banquet are the marquis and earls in the giant city.

The commonly used names are also very simple, usually the coming-of-age ceremony, naming ceremony, birthday, marriage, etc. of a certain descendant.

The purpose of the banquet is to unite the nobles of the city under the jurisdiction of the giant city.

After all, this continent is so vast, and if there is no major event, those nobles and consuls of the state city rarely run to the giant city.

As for the competition, it is also known as the show of the nobles, and it is also the only way for some uninvited noble young people, mercenaries, bards, traveling merchants, and commoners to participate in the banquet.

At the same time, this is also a talent selection for Jucheng. Those who can get the top three can not only participate in the banquet, but also have the opportunity to be appreciated by the lords.

Hearing Baron Bezos' question, Zong Shen could probably guess what he meant.

Athletics is where many young people can prove themselves.

Including Baron Bezos must have had a similar dream of a competitive champion when he was young.

In the arena, everyone speaks according to their ability, whether you are a child of aristocrats, traveling merchants, or commoners, you can compete with each other.

Zong Shen swallowed the meat, then turned his head to look directly at Baron Bezos with clear eyes, and nodded slowly.

"Yes, I want to participate in the competition."

"Use your strength to win the chance to attend the banquet for yourself!"

Baron Bezos looked into Zong Shen's eyes, although his words were plain.

But Bezos saw his determination to win in his eyes.

"The competition is not easy."

"At that time, most of the aspiring young people in the giant city will participate."

"There are even some noble children and talented young people."

"They are well trained and have high fighting qualities, but they are not easy to deal with."

"Because of the significance of the competitive conference, many young people use this as a stage to prove themselves."

Baron Bezos couldn't help but reminded.

In fact, if you can get the top three rankings in the competitive conference.

That represents the top three powerhouses among the young people in the giant city.

A huge city, thousands of kilometers in area, dozens of state cities guarding it, and hundreds or thousands of villages.

Countless small settlements and itinerant merchants.

Even if the productivity of the lower classes in this world is low, there are at least one billion or even two billion people.

Therefore, the gold content of the top three in the competitive conference is not ordinary.

Zong Shen had no feelings for Baron Bezos' words.

He usually deals with ferocious and terrifying monsters.

And it's not the commander level or the overlord level.

That was a real life-and-death fight.

At the very least, competitive games are non-lethal.

The two are not the same thing.

During this time, his hands were stained with countless blood.

Just during the Crypt Challenge period, he was soft-hearted.

It's no longer the two fools who didn't know anything when they first landed.

"I understand my lord."

"But I'm still pretty sure I'll finish in the top three."

Zong Shen's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Baron Bezos clicked his tongue secretly in his heart.

This is not just about winning the top three, it is simply saying that you must win the first place.

Confidence is a good thing, but the Athletics Conference is also a place with great surprises.

Every time a competitive conference is held, a few evildoers can always be drawn, which is definitely a scene of dragons and tigers fighting.

He wanted to remind him a few more words, but he gave up after thinking about it.

Because Baron Bezos has seen Zong Shen's extraordinary strength, and has the confidence to win.

And it seems that some homework has been done for the competitive conference.

If he continued to harass him, it would only make people unhappy.

Everyone comes from a young age, and self-confidence is also a valuable quality.

So he was silent for a while and then stopped talking.

Zong Shen also began to concentrate on eating and drinking.

In the blink of an eye, it was seven o'clock in the evening.

The dining room is connected to two small terraces, and it is dark outside at this time.

A soft evening breeze blows from the patio.

Zong Shen also took advantage of this time to fill his stomach.

He does not have too many requirements for appetite, but he will not refuse the delicious delicacies in front of him.

After he was full, he drank another glass of red wine.

To be honest, he didn't have much interest in such red wine.

"By the way, sir, how many people are you going to take to the ruins?"

"Is it a carriage, or are there other means?"

Zong Shen wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and began to ask these questions that he was more concerned about.

Baron Bezos didn't eat much, so he had long since picked up his glass and started drinking slowly.

Hearing Zong Shen's question, he first paused, then showed an inscrutable smile.

"I'll take a squad of Tier 4 Avalon Strong Fencers."

"And a squad of Tier 4 Avalon Strike Rangers."

"These are already cutting-edge combat powers in Bangcheng."

"As for the way of travel, I'm going to take the magic airship."

It seems that Baron Bezos has long been prepared, and has dispatched two squads of Tier 4 warriors for this purpose.

As a state city, the level is not too low, but the high-end combat power is really not much.

Among the tens of thousands of Bangcheng army, the number of fourth-order soldiers has not yet been three squadrons.

That is less than 360 people's establishment.

High-level warriors are still relatively rare.

On the one hand, it is because of logistics and equipment, and on the other hand, well-trained warriors who meet the fourth-order standards are often given priority by the giant city, and very few will be transferred to the state city.

At this point, Baron Bezos's family is still relatively large in the city.

In addition to the active allocation of the giant city, with the accumulation of combat experience, the original Bangcheng army soldiers have a chance to improve their physical fitness by leaps and bounds to reach a new level of standards.

And Baron Bezos even has a magic airship.

This is an unexpected situation.

"That's good. I was still worried before. It would take at least four or five days to arrive on horseback."

Zong Shen directly stated his previous concerns.

"Hahaha, this magic airship is a medium-sized airship that can take seventy or eighty people."

"I bought it from a large caravan a few years ago."

"It is rarely used in these years, and it is reserved as an emergency transportation in Bangcheng."

Baron Bezos smiled heartily.

Although the goblin airship is very famous, it is not only the goblins who can build airships.

It's just that the goblins are the pioneers in the field of airships. In the last era, there was a developed magical mechanical civilization, and their engineering and alchemy skills are now praised by people.

In fact, humans, dwarves and even orcs make magical airships.

That is to say, the corresponding technologies are slightly different, and the characteristics of the corresponding magic airships are also different.

Zong Shen doesn't care much about this, as long as Baron Bezos has a solution.

The airship can ignore the influence of terrain, even a cruising speed of seventy to eighty kilometers is enough.

It takes seven or eight hours to get there, which is much faster than riding a horse.

Now Zong Shen doesn't like ordinary horses at all.

It would have been if Baron Bezos didn't have the proper transportation.

He was even about to take out his own goblin airship.

Now he also saves him from doing too much.

After getting a clear answer, Zong Shen's concerns were immediately eliminated.

His mood also became much more cheerful.

The wine waiter on the side was holding a wine vessel ready to fill him up.

At this moment, Zong Shen suddenly felt a tremor in his chest.

This is the vibration that belongs to the communication crystal.

He reached out and took off the crystal, and the number 7 appeared on it.

This is the number belonging to the kobold chief Dutra.

This guy is in charge of mining the mine, and he rarely reports the situation directly to him.

Mine affairs are directly connected with Mariel.

Today, Dutra actually contacted him directly, which made Zong Shen feel a little strange.

"My lord, I have something to deal with."

He grabbed the crystal, greeted Baron Bezos, got up and walked to the terrace of the restaurant.

Be quiet here, to allow him to communicate.

Leaning on the stone fence next to the terrace, Zong Shen chose to accept the communication.

"What's wrong Dutra?"

He took the initiative to ask.

After pondering for a few seconds, Dutra's obscure voice came from the other end.

"grown ups…"

"A heavy-bearer mecha full of ore sent out this afternoon has lost contact."

"It's been almost five hours now."

"I contacted the territory before the mecha returned an hour ago."

"The result is that the part of the load-bearing mecha did not reach the territory at all."

"I suspect it was kidnapped."

Dutra's voice is very ugly, but after all, he is a kobold, and it is good to be able to speak human words.

"Hijacked..."

Zong Shen repeated a sentence, and his face became dignified unconsciously.

He considered such a situation when he asked the mine to transport ore through the load-bearing mech.

It was his negligence that a large amount of ore was transported without escort.

The strength of the mine has always been insufficient, only those dogs and three crypt demons.

There are also more than 200 weak chicken kobolds who want to ensure the operation of the mine is indeed difficult.

And those kobolds are also responsible for daily mining and collection.

At first it was the lack of troops in the territory, but later it was because of the challenge.

Let Zong Shen's mine reinforcement plan have been delayed until now.

Unexpectedly, the thing he was most worried about happened, and luck really depends on luck.

The mine is regarded by him as the most important fixed asset of the territory.

The delivery of each batch of ore can provide a large amount of resources to the territory.

There are many, and for any lord, it is no less than instant riches.

I don't know which lord plucked the wool onto his head.

In fact, he just wants to develop well, and he doesn't want to fight to death with other lords at all.

Because in his opinion, all the lords are sympathetic to each other.

All the time, especially after killing Hideki Mitani and the end of the Crypt Challenge.

He lived very peacefully, and the lords around the territory were all younger brothers in the legion.

The other lords also knew the name of someone in his sect and regarded him as the strongest in the region.

It was a respectful attitude towards him.

This matter is essentially because of his numbness.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blame himself.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Dutra on the other side was also a little anxious.

"My lord... why don't you speak?"

Hearing Dutra's voice again, Zong Shen put away his thoughts.

He calmed down a bit of his anger.

"I am responsible for this matter, Dutra, please contact Mariel immediately."

"Convey my resolution."

"Starting today, a team of wolf cavalry will be selected as the escort formation."

"Garrisoned in the mine, responsible for protecting the load-bearing mecha that travels to and from the two places."

"Okay, I'll go back now and find the person who hijacked the minecart."

Zong Shen said in a hurried tone, and hung up the crystal without waiting for Dutra to answer.

He returned to the restaurant with an ugly expression on his face.

As the master, Baron Bezos asked quickly and concerned when he saw his appearance.

"Brother Zong, what's wrong?"

Vereesa and the others also stared at Zong Shen with concerned eyes.

Zong Shen forced a smile.

"Sir, I'm afraid the banquet will end early."

"Something has come out of my territory."

"Now we have to return early."

"Vereesa, Rise Ulysses, Tasia, Ashiya, Kanigia."

"You come back to the territory with me."

He named a few names and took away half of the mages.

Then he added to Baron Bezos.

"Don't worry, my lord, my big griffin is very fast."

"The other soldiers will trouble you to arrange accommodation."

"If it goes well, I should be back in the middle of the night."

Zong Shen said quickly that he was burning with anger now and could not wait to go back immediately.

Seeing this, Baron Bezos didn't say much, just nodded and got up to send him off.

The soldiers named by Zong Shen immediately put down their cutlery and left the seats.

They left the restaurant and walked out of the castle, led by Baron Bezos.

The hawk paste is spread out on the grass, and the center area is wide enough to give it its own space.

However, because of its huge body, its own weight is also as high as ten or twenty tons, leaving obvious footprints and body prints on the grass.

Zong Shen walked quickly to Eagle sauce, rolled over and climbed behind its neck.

Reached out and grabbed its large scale feathers.

The other warriors also climbed onto Ying-chan's body one after another.

Baron Bezos took up the Bosporian flag they had come from.

"Walk with the flag, it will prove your identity."

Zong Shen took the flag and nodded solemnly to him.

Tonight, doomed to sleepless.
