Chapter 456: Will CG Be Introduced This Time?

This promotion ceremony was completely different from every previous one.

This time, Aiwass did not wake up in a strong dizziness, and then found himself in another place.

His perspective became a bird's-eye view like a camera - there was even camera movement!

In the banquet hall of the Temple of Silver and Tin, knights in casual clothes sat upright on both sides of the long table, discussing something in a low voice.

Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

This promotion ceremony... also imported CG?

... But unlike in the game, Aiwass could no longer press ESC to skip it.

Then the screen turned, and Queen Sofia appeared at the corner. She looked quite weak, but she looked very energetic. Her eyes were sharp and her smile was kind. When a passing knight bowed to her, she also smiled and nodded repeatedly.

The old queen used the Scepter of Avalon as a cane and walked forward unsteadily. The timid and shy Princess Isabel attended in a gorgeous dress, accompanied her grandmother with some worry, and was as thin as a shadow. When being stared at, she even couldn't help trembling.

Opposite Queen Sofia was a young woman with a great figure, beautiful and elegant temperament.

She wore a queen's crown inlaid with amethysts and seemed to be only in her twenties. Only from her scarlet pupils could one see her identity as the child of the moon.

Behind her, followed a boy who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

From the similar appearance, it can be seen that he is her son... but because the mother is too young, they look more like siblings.

He has a well-groomed short black hair, black pupils like black pearls, and a faint smile that is natural and distant. He wore a purple-black tuxedo that only the top star antimony nobles would wear, and a black ruffled shirt inside, with wavy ruffles falling from the placket.

Purple is a color that is difficult to control, but it doesn't look ugly on the boy. He has deep facial features and a topaz monocle on his left eye. There were also a lot of diamond decorations on the dress, which made him look like a dark nebula under the lights of the banquet hall.

Compared with a noble, his temperament was more like a scholar studying mysterious knowledge.

"Respected Queen Sofia... My son Lucien and I, on behalf of my husband, Alfonso Valentin, the heir of the 'Twelve Keys', pay tribute to you and Avalon guarded by the Silver Crown Dragon."

The woman smiled and saluted the old queen, and the young man behind her also touched his chest and bowed.

The most important title of King Xingtan is the heir of the "Twelve Keys". In any case, King Xingtan can only regard himself as an "alchemist".

Because nominally, Valentine I was the leader of the "Twelve Keys" organization and was elected king by the members of the Twelve Keys. Although the Valentine family has now become a hereditary succession, and the "Twelve Keys" of Xingtan have evolved into an organization similar to the cabinet... But this is the fundamental source of Xingtan's royal power that cannot be denied - the joint recommendation of the first generation of top extraordinary people.

When Prince Lucien raised his head, he glanced at Isabel.

Even though Isabel was dressed so beautifully and cutely, he looked at Isabel with indifference.

Isabel shivered in fear, took a half step to the side, and hid behind Queen Sofia. And Lucien's eyes also deviated, and he looked back at the knights on the table with some boredom.

"Hello to you too, Louise. No need to greet, just call me Sofia in private."

Queen Sofia leaned on her scepter with both hands, smiled and nodded: "The last time we met was more than 40 years ago... You are still so bright and beautiful."

"Aging is also a kind of beauty, Sofia."

Queen Louise smiled, and then stroked her elastic and shiny golden long curly hair.

Then, she looked at Isabel: "Is this the Princess Isabel? As expected, she is worthy of being the holder of the path of beauty... so beautiful."

"... Queen Louise, His Royal Highness Prince Lucien, greetings to you."

Isabel had no choice but to walk out from behind Queen Sofia, lifted her skirt to Queen Louise, and responded quickly in a low voice: "May the Silver Crown Dragon protect you."

She didn't dare to look at the two of them, but fortunately Queen Louise didn't react to it. She just nodded gently to Isabel. Prince Lucien just stroked his chest slightly and gave her an equal return.

When Queen Sofia and Queen Louise walked to the round table, all the knights stood up one after another.

The knights saluted respectfully to several royal family members, with a happy smile on their faces trying to keep calm and reserved.

"Hey, Your Majesty... Please sit down quickly."

Suddenly, a loud voice came from the side.

It was Charles Drost, the Minister of Trade, who had a cheerful smile on his face.

He was old and fat, and his round and huge head looked like a fathead fish or a toad. His big bulging belly looked like a water balloon, and he couldn't even see his feet when he lowered his head. The dress was so full that it seemed that the buttons would fly out if he pushed his belly hard.

There was no muscle on the old man's limbs, and the old and loose skin couldn't hold the loose fat.

He came up happily and helped Queen Sofia sit at the head of the long table. He also patted Isabel on the shoulder, as if to encourage her.

Princess Isabel stood behind Queen Sofia, not knowing whether she should sit down or not. And Drost came close to Queen Louise, chatting about trivial matters in an exaggerated tone, making her laugh non-stop.

After Queen Louise and Prince Lucien sat down, Isabel followed Prince Lucien and sat down.

"...In the future, when your two highnesses get married, Avalon and Xing Antimony will become a family."

Minister Drost smiled cheerfully and waved his hand. Someone handed over a bottle of chilled wine.

He showed the wine bottle to several of their majesties and highnesses, and boasted: "This is a special gift from the Pope, 'Holy Tree No. 1'. Every time the eternal Pope wakes up from his sleep, he will drink a glass of this wine." There is no better wine in the world.

"I have been looking for a long time, and finally found this bottle of wine. It is suitable to celebrate the sacred marriage between Avalon and Star Antimony - with Prince Lucien in Avalon, it will gain more than just peace...more It is the prosperity of the two countries and the happiness of the people. If the Theocratic State learns of this, it will definitely send envoys to express its congratulations."

"You are quite generous, Lord Drost."

Queen Sophia smiled cheerfully: "If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to hand over such a good thing."

"Oh, how can I be reluctant to celebrate this sacred and joyful day?"

Minister Drost said as if he didn't care, and then turned to a sad face: "Of course... I have to say that I am still a little greedy. If your Majesty, you can give me a cup and let me have a taste, then it will be It could not be better."

"Then what's there to be reluctant to part with?"

The old queen smiled gently and kindly, looking at Minister Drost as if looking at her delightful child: "You have been busy with this matter, and it is also a thank you for your hard work. On the day of clinking glasses, on the day of celebration, You deserve this."

"That would be perfect."

When Drost heard this, a child-like smile of joy appeared on his face.

He opened the bottle of wine and poured out the beautiful ruby-like crystal clear wine. The strong fragrance leached out immediately,

First Queen Sofia, then Queen Louise, then Isabel, Louis, and finally herself.

He held the cup in both hands, showed it to their highnesses, and drank it all in one gulp. This shows that there is nothing wrong with the wine.

"Oh, you really deserve death. I'm a little greedy... I can't help it."

It was obviously a poison test, but he acted as if he had made some mistake.

Minister Drost savored the fragrance of the wine with an intoxicated look on his face: "This is indeed...ah, the best wine in the world..."

"Hearing what you say, I'm looking forward to it more and more."

Queen Sofia also became interested.

She sighed softly and smiled helplessly: "I'm still a little greedy for wine... After Meg left, no one drank with me. I have never drunk such good wine before. His Majesty the Pope is here after my coronation." Meg drank all the bottle she gave me as a gift."

Queen Louise and Queen Sofia clinked glasses and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Xing Antimony and Avalon will be a family from now on.

"...If Ms. Meg is still here, she will also be happy."

With that said, several people drank the wine in the glasses.

As soon as Isabel took a sip, she choked on the somewhat strong wine and coughed. The strong smell of wine made her cheeks turn red, and her eyes were blurry with tears due to coughing.

And while she was still holding up the wine glass and coughing softly, Queen Sofia's body suddenly collapsed. The wine glass she had not leveled also rolled out and shattered on the ground.

For a moment, the banquet hall fell into silence.

All the knights looked over and stood up sparsely.

Some people have compassion in their eyes, some people have doubts in their eyes, some people have anger in their eyes, and some people close their eyes and say nothing.

"His Majesty was assassinated——"

Minister Drost shouted angrily: "Seal the banquet hall!"

Isabel was suddenly startled and stood up unsteadily. She couldn't hold the wine glass in her hand and fell directly to the ground.

Her mind went blank, her mouth opened, but nothing came out.

At this time, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps.

An "Isabel" with signs of injury and binding on her body staggered out from the corner.

She is exactly like Isabelle.

Isabel looked at her in astonishment, her pupils dilated in shock and fear.

At this time, the camera changed to Isabel's somewhat blurry first perspective.

There was a buzzing, increasingly intense tinnitus in her ears.

Isabel was panting more and more violently, as if she had asthma. Her heartbeat became louder and louder, and the world in front of her became blurry. She covered her heart, unable to say anything, and held on to the back of the chair unsteadily.

And that "Isabel" pointed at Isabel and shouted loudly: "She is not me... that is the witch who transformed into me!"

"etc--"

Grand Inquisitor Shafiya suddenly stood up.

She quickly glanced back and forth between the two Isabels, and immediately determined that the Isabel who was clutching her heart and seemed a little uncomfortable and speechless was the real one.

"——Capture the assassin!"

Minister Drost completely ignored her and shouted loudly.

At this moment, among the knights at the banquet, many people suddenly drew weapons from unknown places and attacked their colleagues around them.

Some people reacted and fought back, while others did not and were severely injured in an instant. A battle of the fourth energy level broke out instantly, the extraordinary power of the authoritarian path diffused in the air, and the long table of the banquet was destroyed instantly.

Just as Shafiya was about to make a move, she suddenly frowned and looked at Queen Xingtan with some fear.

Louise had an unconcealed smile of victory on her face, and the two fifth energy level extraordinary people who came with her - an old man in a black robe and a wiry old general with blazing golden flames in his eyes, also stood up from the long table of the banquet at the first time.

- There was only a very short delay.

Shafiya, who did not bring a staff, did not hesitate and chose to ignore the chaos in the banquet hall.

As the only fifth energy level present, she picked up Isabel who was still in a daze.

Without hesitation, run away quickly!

The silver-white light formed a fleeting wing behind her, and Shafiya flew out with the princess.

The torrent dispersed the air, and she crashed straight into the wall - the silver-gray storm directly shattered the wall.

At this moment, the old man in a black robe stretched out his right hand towards their departing backs.

The terrifying mana fluctuations rolled up a hurricane, and the walls of the Silver and Tin Palace trembled.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the movements of the fighting knights instantly slowed down several times, and became slower and slower with the naked eye.

However, at this moment, Shafiya struggled hard in the air and turned around.

She carried Isabel with one hand, and the free right hand made a "stop" gesture, and pushed forward with a palm!

Ding——

Accompanied by a crisp and melodious sound like knocking a triangle, a white triangle symbol filled with a maze-like curve in the middle appeared in front of Shafiya's palm.

It instantly became blurred and scattered into a rainbow light with a double image. And the mana fluctuations that had just been raised were immediately smoothed out.

The delayed time was instantly restored.

At the same time, the two people who were still flying backwards at high speed flew out in this gap.

Some knights were inspired by this and changed their minds to escape.

In the banquet hall that became a ruin in almost an instant, another "Isabelle" just stood there expressionlessly, with her hands folded in front of her, staring at the hole in the wall, and the whole person was motionless.

Queen Louise ignored her and whispered something seriously to the two fifth-level "followers". They did not take the initiative to attack others, and other knights did not dare to attack them at all.

Under the protection of the two fifth-level strongmen, Prince Lucien was drinking and eating boredly, like an actor who did not get a role, and had no interest.

The angry expression on Minister Droste's face had disappeared, and he put on a cheerful smile again, and poured wine for Prince Lucien respectfully.

On the other side, the knights of Avalon were fighting fiercely and desperately - some wanted to escape, and some did not want them to escape.

No one cared about the queen who fell to the ground and lost her breath.
