Chapter 488 Charity Gala (2)

The man from Daqin left Su Yian because Su Yian's attitude was not enthusiastic. He looked like a fool for his enthusiastic chat.

Under the bright lights, the nobles of the Holy British Empire showed their good upbringing and etiquette. There were still many girls around Luo Xi, and Luo Xi was chatting happily.

"Are you going to eat all the snacks here?" Zhou Qingying came over and asked with a sigh of relief.

Because she had an oriental face and was a beauty, she was surrounded by a group of men from the East and asked questions as soon as she came in.

"The East and the West are divided into two factions." Zhou Qingying looked at the oriental men gathered together and sneered: "On the territory of the Holy British Empire, do they still want to be on an equal footing with the local nobles?"

"Don't pay attention to them, these snacks still taste good." Su Yian put a piece in Zhou Qingying's hand and said.

"Made by the royal court pastry chef, of course it's delicious." John Niels' voice sounded.

Su Yian turned around. In addition to John, there were several young men who looked like students of the Royal First Magic High School, staring at him with burning eyes.

"John, is he the Dean of Academic Discipline of Tianji Magic College?" A young man said, "I can't tell how powerful he is."

"You can't say that. Tianji Magic College is the earliest magic high school established in the Qin Empire. It must have a deep foundation."

"Just right!" Another blond and blue-eyed young man came out: "I am also in charge of student discipline at the Royal First Magic High School. My name is Paul Bray." As he said that, he stretched out his right hand.

Su Yian looked at this guy's right hand, which was obviously malicious, but he didn't need to retreat, so he stretched out his right hand and shook it with his right hand.

Paul Bray's face bloomed with a brighter smile, and there was a faint flash of lightning on his right hand.

"I say there is no need to play this outdated trick. After all, you are a noble. Don't you think it's a loss of face?" Su Yian looked at Paul Bray and released the magic power in his palm.

This Paul Bray is also a high-level 3 magician, but his strength is not comparable to Su Yian at all.

The fire branch on Su Yian's magic tree has bloomed, and other branches have sprouted. If Su Yian only determined that the fire was the root, he would be a magician now.

Although Paul Bray is a high-level level 3 magician, his magic tree has just grown from a magic seed to a magic sapling at most.

So...

After Paul Bray felt Su Yian's magic power coming like a tide, his face changed immediately. The severe pain almost made him scream, but soon Su Yian withdrew his magic power and took the initiative to let go of Paul Bray's palm.

"Are you sure you are in charge of discipline?" Su Yian asked deliberately, then picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth.

Zhou Qingying glanced at the group of people, and they were simply overestimating themselves. Although the Royal First Magic College was the most powerful magic college in the Holy British Empire, it was just a student in an ivory tower after all.

Maybe there are powerful people, but the one in front of him is at most the level of the elite class of Tianji Magic College.

Paul Bray looked at his red palm with an uncertain expression, and then thought about Su Yian's ridicule just now, and couldn't help but clenched his fist.

John Niels raised his eyebrows and glanced at Paul Bray: "Student Su is a guest from afar, we must treat him well. Don't you know any aristocratic etiquette? Back off!"

Paul Bray glanced at Su Yian angrily and silently retreated to the back of the crowd. John Niels was a direct descendant of the Marquis's family and had the highest status among them. He didn't dare to disobey.

"Sorry, I'm embarrassed." John Niels looked at Su Yian and said: "I'm actually very curious about one thing, how did Student Su know President Luo Xi?"

"You ask him."

John raised his eyebrows slightly, and heard Luo Xi's voice: "Ask me? Ask me what?"

A pair of blue eyes swept between John and Su Yian, revealing a curious expression that made people feel a throbbing heart.

John Niels took a few deep breaths and suppressed the throbbing in his heart. He had to admit that Luo Xi was really a beauty that attracted both men and women. If he was a woman, he would definitely do everything he could to get him.

"Why is it a man?"

Not only John, but also the students of the Royal First Magic High School behind John thought so. Is this a joke from God?

"He asked how we knew each other." Su Yian threw this question to Luo Xi.

"This question is a long story." Luo Xi spoke slowly.

"Let's make it short." Su Yian said lightly.

"If you recognize me, then you know me." Luo Xi said seriously.

John's mouth twitched. What kind of answer is this? And he felt that Luo Xi was closer to Su Yian than himself.

What's the reason? He is the vice president of the student union, and he has a marquis background. Luo Xi is a commoner, and he cares more about an oriental person than himself. It's simply unreasonable!

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely bring you to work in our house, and then I will let you know who is the master!" John Niels swore in his heart, but his expression did not change.

...

"That guy seems to be familiar with Luo Xi." The man who had talked to Su Yian before looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Who is he?" asked another man.

"I don't know, I just know he's from Daqin, he didn't even say his last name."

"His name is Su Yian, the head of the academic discipline department of Tianji Magic Academy." A voice sounded nearby, and the group of young men and women from the Daqin Empire looked over.

What they saw was a figure leaning against the wall, and they didn't know if it was due to the light or other reasons, but they couldn't see the man's face clearly.

"My name is Fu Shilin, who are you?" asked the man who had talked to Su Yian.

The figure leaning against the wall did not speak again, but walked to the side, muttering in a voice that only he could hear: "I didn't expect him to be here, it's really fate."

"This guy is so rude, how did he get in?" A man next to Fu Shilin frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Anyone can come in!"

The one who can come in is definitely not an ordinary person. Fu Shilin shook his head. In the territory of the Holy British Empire, people with oriental faces are still inferior and not respected, unlike in Daqin, Daqin is generally very enthusiastic towards Westerners...

At this time, a voice sounded-

"Prince Wilni is here."

The banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the passage next to them, only to see a blond and blue-eyed man in a white suit walked in surrounded by the crowd.

Handsome appearance, extraordinary temperament, and warm smile all reveal the style of the royal family.

Welni Christia, the second heir to the royal family of the Holy British Empire, has a good reputation both in the royal family and among the people.

"My second brother is handsome, isn't he?" Luo Xi whispered in Su Yian's ear, "He's much more handsome than my middle-aged fat brother!"

"You are the most handsome among the royal family!" Su Yian said with a smile.

"Being handsome can't be eaten, and it's even more impossible for him to inherit the throne!" Luo Xi pouted and said, "My second brother is not a good person. He is obviously the second heir, but he refuses to go to his fiefdom and wants to become the king of the Holy British Empire!"

"Are you sure he has this idea?" Su Yian asked softly.

"Otherwise, why not go to his own fiefdom and be a leisurely prince?"

Su Yian looked at Prince Wilni who was talking on the stage and stopped talking. He was not very clear about the situation in the Holy British royal family, so it was better not to get involved too deeply.

Luo Xi turned his head and glanced at Su Yian, smiling, but a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"This charity gala is themed [Gathering Love, Forever Love], and the funds raised will be used to transform poor areas. Every process of the banquet and the flow of every donation will be supervised by the St. Fitia Cathedral. Next, let us welcome Bishop St. Steklov with warm applause!"

Accompanied by applause from the scene, a middle-aged man in a red robe slowly entered the venue.

As the head of the Western Province of the Holy See of Light, St. Steklov is almost known to everyone in the Holy British Empire!

Seeing his appearance, the nobles present quickly packed their luggage and looked at the middle-aged man with a slightly solemn expression.

"My second brother is really generous. He even invited the cardinal." Luo Xi bared his teeth: "Su, this bishop is the cardinal of the Cathedral of St. Fitia. He is the youngest cardinal in the history of the Holy See of Light. It is said that he is also the strongest cardinal in history. His status in the Holy See of Light is very transcendent. Other cardinals have to take the initiative to salute him when they see him."

Su Yian didn't know these things. At this time, listening to Luo Xi's introduction, he couldn't help but look at the cardinal a few more times. Zhou Qingying said at this time: "According to what you said, your second brother is very powerful. Even he can be invited to participate in this small charity party."

Luo Xi didn't say anything, and a haze flashed in his eyes. Being in the royal family of the Holy British Empire, he knew clearly that if a prince could really get the support of important figures in the Holy See of Light, the possibility of ascending to power would be greatly increased.

However, the Holy See of Light also has religious laws that cannot interfere in national politics, so Luo Xi was very unhappy that St. Steklov was invited at this time!

He was thinking about what kind of possibility would make the cardinal come in person!

Accompanying Saint Steklov was Xian Guzman, the archbishop of the Decosti Church, who was in charge of the affairs of the Decosti Diocese.

"A magician, a great magician, does the Holy See of Light attach so much importance to this charity gala?" Luo Xi muttered in a low voice.

"Donating money to poor areas is not a big deal, why does the cardinal have to come?" The more Luo Xi thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became: "The king is here and this is the treatment..."

Su Yian glanced at him and said: "Maybe Wilni has a good personal relationship with him."

"Heh!" Luo Xi pulled the corner of his mouth: "My second brother likes to make friends, but what qualifications does he have to make friends with the cardinal? At most, he is a junior."

On the stage, Prince Wilni talked with Saint Steklov with a smile on his face. It was unknown what he said. Saint Steklov said something in line with the doctrine of the Holy See of Light to everyone and stood by.

Although it was only two or three sentences, it drew warm applause from the audience. Cardinal, it was very difficult for these nobles to meet, and those nobles who did not come to the banquet must have regretted it!

After Prince Wilni said a few more words, the charity dinner was announced to begin. Originally, many nobles did not intend to donate so much money, but it was different when the cardinal came. They all behaved very generously.

Some people who were careful and brave went to talk to Saint Steklov, and the cardinal also showed a polite smile, which made the nobles on the scene excited.

"Let's go too. Maybe we can talk to the cardinal!" The young man next to John said excitedly: "A powerful person at the level of a great magician can benefit a lot from just throwing out some knowledge."

John Niels was moved and looked at Luo Xi: "Will President Luo Xi go over?"

Luo Xi thought about it and nodded, then looked at Su Yian. Su Yian didn't want to join in the fun, so he shook his head and refused, so Luo Xi and his group walked towards the direction of the cardinal.

"The religions in the countries of the Western Continent are really very prestigious." Zhou Qingying said with emotion: "Unlike in our Great Qin, except for the Taoist sect, other sects can hardly hold their heads up."

"Religion and sect are two different things." Su Yian said: "Besides, because of the emergence of magic, they believe in the existence of God more, so the status of the Church has risen sharply in more than 150 years, and now it has a huge influence throughout the world!"

"Even the Taoist sect in our Great Qin can't compare to this."

"The Taoist sect is low-key." Zhou Qingying said: "The foundation is not inferior to the Holy See of Light, except for the four heads of the sects on the surface. , and there are ten elders!"

"I find you silly and cute sometimes." Su Yian glanced at her: "Strength and influence are two different things. Taoism has a pivotal position in our Great Qin, but its influence abroad is not that great."

"The Church of Light is different. It divides the world into seven provinces and has a huge influence in each province."

"According to statistics, there are billions of believers in the Church of Light, and Taoism can't even compare to a fraction of them."

"But the cultures of the East and the West are different. It can only be said that the West has done a very good job in preaching."

"Do you believe in God?" Zhou Qingying suddenly asked.

Su Yian was silent for a while and said: "Before magic appeared, did anyone believe that humans would be able to use incredible magic one day?"

"You mean everything is possible, right?"

"Maybe one day, a god will come to the world!" Su Yian smiled slightly.
