Chapter 121: Turbulence at the Banquet
"Hello!" Xianya greeted him very politely!
"Miss is really amazing! At such a young age, she has already become a mage!" Kuri (that's what I'll call him from now on) as an old demon of several thousand years naturally saw through Senya's true strength at a glance!
"This is Gai Zhi, my pet!" The poor Taoist didn't understand his emotions and continued to introduce.
"Oh! Heaven! You're really something, Lord!" Kuri exclaimed again! Even Gaiji couldn't deceive him! It seems this guy has some real ability after all! I'm very satisfied with this!
"Humph!" The poor Taoist accepted his compliment ungraciously. Then he said, "Follow me out to meet my father and His Majesty the King!"
I came out into the big hall, just as everyone was there. The king was playing chess with my father and Ishihara Kōji was acting as umpire!
"Hello everyone! Now I'd like to introduce someone to you all!" The poor Taoist saw his father's eyebrows furrowed into a big knot, knowing that his chess game was probably very frustrating, so he loudly called out.
"Ah! My son has something important to announce!" The father indeed knew how to cooperate, and with a sweep of his hand, he messed up the chess pieces, then looked at me seriously.
"Heavens! You weren't like this before! Howl at the sky! Have you become cunning too, just because your son is cunning?" The king complained.
"Ahem!" The poor Dao first concentrated everyone's attention here, to ease his father's embarrassment, then solemnly introduced: "My newly appointed chief magician, the undead magic instructor Mr. Cri, everyone welcome!
"Welcome! Welcome!" The father spoke first to welcome him, then suddenly asked stiffly: "Demon Master?"
"Ah-ha! Not bad!" The poor Taoist found it strange that these few people's faces didn't quite match up!
"Dragon Lord-sama!" Ishihara Kuma exclaimed with a self-satisfied look: "Don't you know that only the king can have a mage of the Magic Guide rank?"
"I don't know!" The poor Taoist replied bluntly: "No one told me, did they?"
"It doesn't matter!" The king stood up and walked to Ke Lin, saying: "I now formally invite you to be my magic advisor as the King of the Great Han Kingdom! Your talents will definitely be showcased here!"
"Sorry, Your Majesty! You know the temper of our departed mages. If I couldn't serve under Lord Notail's command, I'd rather choose to leave!" said Nair quietly.
"What! You're not considering it anymore? After all, being under the king is more promising than being under a lord!" Ishihara Kumaji chimed in from the side, unwilling to see me having an advantage.
"Our necromancer doesn't care about those vain titles and wealth! Our pursuit is different from yours! So please forgive us!" Nair said politely.
The king is still in a difficult consideration! But Ishihara has started to get angry again!
"You're just a mage, don't think too highly of yourself. You can leave, our great Han leader won't take you in!" He said indignantly.
"Hey! He's with me, what right do you have to chase him away!" The poor monk scolded without courtesy.
"His presence is ruining everything!" shouted Ishihara Kuma II.
"Bullshit rules! He's now my friend!" The poor monk then asked the king, "Your Majesty! Does the Great Han have a rule that prohibits lords from having mage friends?"
"This is, of course, impossible!" The king said helplessly, seeing that things had come to this point he could only go along with it. Who made him have such low restraint against me? Later, he said again, "Since that's the case, then tonight, we'll set a banquet to entertain your 'friend'!" He emphasized the two words 'friend', indicating that he tacitly approved of my actions!
"Thanks! Your Majesty!" The poor Taoist said with a flourish, and even gave Ishihara Koji a triumphant glance, which made him furious!
"Alright, let's sit down and talk about it!" Father said, breaking the deadlock.
So we humbly yielded and took our seats, with Keli insisting on sitting below me to show that he was under my command. The king tried to persuade him in vain, and had no choice but to let it be!
"Right! Your Majesty wants you to solve the problem of the Megurine Empire, have you thought it through?!" That damned Ishihara Kuma no Ni is looking for trouble again, I'll get him back sooner or later!
The king apparently attaches great importance to this matter, looking at me with a expectant face, it seems that he has had enough of the provocation of the Megelan Empire!
"Ah! I think I can hold on with Keli for a while!" The poor Taoist knew that this time it was impossible to turn back, so he had no choice but to compromise.
"He? The Demon Lord against the Sword Saint?" The king's face was filled with distrust!
"Normally, a mage corresponds to a high-level warrior, while a wizard corresponds to a mid-to-low level one. However, the outcome of their battles is vastly different. A mage almost always wins against a high-level warrior, whereas a wizard loses to a same-level warrior about 80% of the time! I'm sure everyone knows this!" The poor Daoist said slowly.
"This is all well and good, but what does it have to do with us?" the king said. "Even the most powerful sorcerer wouldn't dare challenge the Sword Saint - the gap between them is too great! Unless... unless it's a Great Sorcerer, but Carla is currently studying with his group of friends, I couldn't even find him!"
"That's ordinary, but you're a necromancer, aren't you? They are born to be warriors of the guest star, have you forgotten about summoning the undead?" The poor Taoist said with a smile.
"But a lich is just a few skulls, it's not enough to have bones, you think you can compare with the Sword Saint?" Ishihara Kuma mocked!
"Your words only show your ignorance!" Krie was fed up, he could be indifferent to others' unreasonable remarks, but absolutely would not allow anyone to insult his profession! He began to counterattack: "The skull you mentioned is just the lowest level thing, do undead mages and warriors have to use low-level spells? Even our high-level liches don't rely on skulls to fight anymore, they can summon blood imps to assist in battle, each one not inferior to a mid-level silver warrior. And as for me, I can summon a Terror Knight, want to try its power?"
"It's been centuries since a necromancer appeared on the mainland, but dark mages are still active, so we're not very clear about the abilities of necromancers!" The king explained: "You mean to say that you can defeat a Sword Saint?"
"Shouldn't be a problem, right?" He looked at me, hesitating, unsure how much of his true strength to hold back.
"It's just a little bit, nothing much, I have a lot of equipment, relying on equipment to smash, can also improve the strength of not being reliable by several levels!" The poor way quickly dropped a smoke bomb, so that later it was considered a win, others would think it was not reliable due to the advantage of equipment, and ignore his own strength!
"Alright! Tomorrow at the gathering, I won't be hiding from those idiots of the Megurine Empire!" The king said indignantly, "You must find a way to restore the humiliation I've suffered over these past few days!"
Looking at his tragic virtues, I'm delighted! Unfortunately, I have to help him vent tomorrow, or else I'd be even happier!
The next day, after breakfast, we arrived at the Pope's Palace on Mount Saint around 10 o'clock. Looking from the foot of the mountain, it seemed not small, but only when I really got here did I know how big it was, covering an area of at least hundreds of acres, with palaces and gardens scattered among them, and towering trees planted everywhere almost enveloping the entire place! The scenery is breathtakingly beautiful!
We have a king in our group, my father and son, Xianya, Keli, Piliu, Ishiyama Kuma 2 and others! Piliu's injury is almost healed, this time bringing him as an extra fighter! Who let Father become strong outside but weak inside now?
The formal banquet will begin at 12 o'clock, when the monarchs of various countries will gather to wish the Pope a happy birthday! Now is the time for everyone to interact with each other. As Dahen is considered a relatively large kingdom with a high status, we were led by the servants to the highest-level venue! This place only receives guests from major powers! People from the three great empires are also here!
This is a very luxurious and huge living room, which can accommodate hundreds of people without feeling crowded. Our arrival attracted a lot of attention, of course, this has something to do with our dispute with the Meiguo Empire!
"Oh! Look, who's this?!" As expected, the Emperor of the Megablue Empire still hadn't given up on his desire for revenge against us. He came straight to the point, "I remember you, you're the one whose meddling caused my son to be unable to eat well until now! You scoundrel!"
I didn't expect him to come and find trouble with me! Turning around, the Emperor of the Megablue Empire was walking towards me with a few people, looking like they were going to devour me!
"Really? I thought he especially loved eating 'eggs'!" The poor Taoist retorted viciously.
The third prince behind him turned around and vomited after hearing me say the word "egg"!
"Young man, apologize to the prince at once! Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson!" Another person behind the Emperor of Megurin Empire stepped forward and provoked after receiving the emperor's hint.
This guy looks very strange, not particularly tall and big, just over 2 meters, but super strong, full of muscles, like a meatball. He's already quite old, his hair is starting to turn white, probably around 80 years old, with a sword and shield on his back. His face is stern, doesn't seem like an unreasonable person, seeing this, I've got an idea!
"Are you Mahoraga, the Sword Saint of Earth said to be the Earth's Strike?" I asked.
"Not bad, it's me!" he replied.
"Alright! Come on! I'd love to see your skills, and let everyone else see how a Sword Saint teaches a kid a lesson!" The poor Daoist said with a smile. He thought to himself, I don't believe you can have a thicker face than the city walls!
