Volume 9: Home Chapter 290 Feast (I)
The flower aisle in front of the castle square of the Ice and Snow King City is slightly different from five years ago, as the types of flowers seem to have changed; the furnishings in the hall serving as the venue are exactly the same as what I saw last time: the Elf King's band is playing on the platform against the wall, and there is enough space for free activities in the middle of the hall. Behind the long tables on the left and right sides filled with food, fruits and flowers are seats scattered around.
The Snow Elf female official took the sages of the Snow Wolf Tribe and the Minotaur and seated them in front of a half-moon-shaped sofa. When she was about to take the human sage Hodgson to the next place, Moon of Vengeance waved her hand to refuse and sat down next to the Fire Chief.
Although the seats of the humans and orcs were on the same side, they were not next to each other. Hodgson's behavior surprised the snow elf female official in charge of leading the group. She glanced at the two orcs brought by Hodgson (Hongye and Chief Arthur), but did not say anything. She just lifted her skirt slightly and said goodbye.
Prince Carlisle followed another snow elf lady to the seats on the other side. Seeing Hodgson sitting on the orc side, he immediately turned around and walked straight towards Xiao Yun...
At this time, the fox clan sage Aloy was brought in, and without saying a word, he headed for the Snow Wolf clan's seat...
At this year's banquet, the Dark Elf Matron and the Forest Elf Queen did not bump into each other (it may also be because the Queen chose to set off later). The Dark Elf Matron arrived first with a large number of female troops and took up quite a few seats.
And then... the mistress who had taken her seat raised her chin, and her loyal dog, Don Angelo, the Scythe of the Abyss, quickly stood up, brought a male and a female dark elf, walked across the red carpet in the middle of the hall with a fake smile, and walked to the seats of the orcs.
Carlisle was standing next to his teacher, beaming with joy as he showed off his great achievements - bragging in a letter was never as satisfying as saying it in person - when suddenly a black leather paw wearing a half-glove came between him and the teacher, and the back of the hand waved at him impatiently.
Prince Carlisle slowly raised his head and stared blankly at the impertinent busty dark-skinned man.
Seeing that the human prince remained unmoved despite her gestures to move aside, Angelo simply turned sideways, facing Xiao Yun with her back to Carlisle, and fell on Carlisle's thigh.
Carlisle: “……!!” He struggled silently, waving his hands and feet, and his thigh bone was almost broken!
Darren and Hongye rushed to rescue Carlisle from under the ass of a shameless black man...
As if he didn't notice the angry eyes around him, Angelo raised his arms and hugged Xiao Yun's shoulders, gnashing his teeth and blowing air on Xiao Yun's face with his eyes rolling: "Long time no see, Ah Yun, you cunning little wolf cub have deceived your friendly Angelo again~"
Xiao Yun raised his paw expressionlessly, grabbed the back of Angelo's head, and pressed down hard in the direction of the angry Carlisle: "Carlisle, this guy is a little stupid, don't mind it."
I can’t beat you in a fight, and I can’t even beat you in sheer strength?! I’m almost an adult!!
Across from them, a pair of cold black eyes stared at the dark elf mistress who was here. Seeing Angelo sitting between the sage Ayun and the human prince, chatting and laughing with those around him, she nodded with satisfaction.
The forest elf queen led a team twice as large as the dark elves into the venue, occupying a large number of seats. With the permission of Elder Meili, Evelyn, Elizabeth, and Kai (who was Elder Meili's disciple) also stood up and left the table, walked across the red carpet in the middle of the hall, and went to the seats of the Snow Wolf Clan.
The female snow elves in the hall looked curiously at the increasingly lively seats of the orcs, with the focus on the sage of the snow wolf tribe who was the center of attention. The five-year interval was only a short period of time for the snow elves. They remembered very clearly that the last time the snow wolf tribe participated was not as popular as this time. Besides, in an occasion like a banquet, no matter how popular a sage was, he would not be explicitly shown affection by so many people, right?
After the Dwarf King, who didn't give face to anyone except the Elf Queen, entered the venue, he actually asked a general to leave the Dwarf seat and go to the side of the Snow Wolf Clan's sage, which shocked the Snow Elf female officials so much that their jaws almost dropped...
"What happened?" The ladies were very curious and whispered to each other, "Is there anything big going on at this year's banquet?"
Hmm… The ladies in charge of affairs in the castle are also ordinary soldiers in the imperial army. They are usually either training, patrolling the Samar Snow Mountain, or guarding the sentry posts. They don’t really understand things at the strategic level…
When the Beast King, who was always the second to last to enter and clearly intended to compete with the Elf King, entered the arena, I could sense a lot of malice...
The Beast King still entered the hall in a domineering manner, attracting the attention of everyone every time. He was wearing a low-key cloth robe and straw sandals. He entered the hall with a casual gait, carrying an overwhelming momentum that instantly silenced the entire hall.
The Beast King was not surrounded by a large crowd like the Dark Elf Mistress, the Elf Queen or the Dwarf King. There were too many Orc sages in the Far East, and if they all followed him, the Elf King's palace would not be able to accommodate them. Last time, he was accompanied by the Tiger King, but this time he appeared alone. With his aura alone, he overwhelmed the Dwarf King who entered before him.
Stepping onto the red carpet of the hall, the domineering Lord of the Far East casually looked at the seats on both sides. When his sight swept over the side of the orcs, the momentum of the Beast King, which had not been stopped by the Elf King, suddenly froze for a moment...
He saw four snow werewolves.
The four werewolves were surrounded by dark elves, forest elves, and dark iron dwarves wearing officer uniforms. (The humans and the orc sage king ignored them.)
Beast King: “…”
The Beast King withdrew his gaze and turned to the seats of the Elves and the Dwarf King.
The dark elf mistress held her chin with her hand and looked upward, carefully observing the crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the hall.
The Elf Queen nodded politely to him.
The dwarf king sneered directly at him.
The Beast King looked at these guys deeply, restrained his aura a little, and walked towards the side of the orc seats, the seat at the front that belonged to him.
The bear sages who were guarding the Beast King's throne stood up one after another, waiting for the Beast King to take his seat.
As the second demigod took his seat, a figure wearing silver armor, with silver hair and snowy skin appeared in the corridor leading to the inner hall amid the music...
"Could it be that the Elf King has been squatting in that corridor, waiting for everyone else to enter before he comes to perform as the finale?" Xiao Yun, who was sitting on the side of the Orcs, had this impolite thought in his mind, "Tsk tsk, he doesn't even feel tired of pretending to be so cool!"
Dahe, who was not far from Xiao Yun, stared in astonishment as the Elf King walked out of the corridor and walked towards the center seat of the elves step by step.
Ever since Xiao Yun showed up and raised her to a shiny and glossy appearance, step by step, she escaped from her hard life and reached the peak of her beauty, Da He had never seen an opponent who could fight against her. At this moment, Da He finally realized that a strong rival had appeared in the field of beauty...
More than a dozen human sages who were sitting on the same side as the orcs but at the end close to the gate all had expressions of watching a good show.
The inevitable rivalry between the Dark Elf Mistress and the Elf Queen, the Mistress's provocation to the Dwarf King, the verbal lawsuit between the Beast King and the Dwarf King, and other heated verbal battles by the big guys that appeared in previous years did not happen. The human sages and the great magicians who were diligent and responsible in being good spectators at every banquet, could guess with their knees that something big was bound to happen at this year's banquet.
As expected, as soon as the Elf King and the Snow Elf officers took their seats, the Dwarf King could not wait to speak loudly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the grassland orcs in the Cursed Land have turned that barren land into a rich grain-producing area. Is this true?"
The Dwarf King was speaking to the Queen, but his eyes were glaring at the Beast King in front of him, with an expression of gloating on his face...
The Beast King's expression remained unchanged. He didn't care about the Dwarf King's provocation at all. He looked at the Elf Queen silently.
"It is true, Dwarf King. The grain that Ananas has been reselling to the Western Continent in recent years comes from the hardworking and brave orcs of the grassland." The Queen seemed unaware of the Beast King's gaze and answered the Dwarf King's question with a gentle smile.
The Beast King's expression finally changed - the forest elves who never meddle in other people's business have taken action!
The Dwarf King smiled maliciously at the Beast King, and then... surprisingly, he took the initiative to talk to the Dark Elf Mistress: "Mistress, I heard that you Dark Elves also have trade relations with the grassland orcs."
The mistress obviously glared at the Elf Queen, and said with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, "The grassland orcs are good neighbors."
Not only the human sages were amazed, but even the orc sages were shocked! The dark elf mistress and the dwarf king stopped arguing and were able to talk properly!
Even if it was just one sentence, it broke the impression that everyone had had for so many years!
The Beast King's expression became even uglier...
The Elf Queen temporarily stabilized the hatred of the Matron, and the Beast King also stabilized the hatred of the Dwarf King. This young demigod, who was famous on the continent for his irritability, clapped his hands vigorously, stared at the Beast King with malice, and said happily: "The Cursed Land has been barren for countless years. Since someone can bring vitality to this barren land, I think they should be given fair recognition. What do you think?"
Xiao Yun, who was sitting quietly watching the bosses fighting, pinched his thigh secretly.
Three hundred million kilograms of vermicelli were not sold in vain!
The Dwarf King, this hot-tempered musketeer, is indeed the best person to fire the first shot!
The Dark Elf Mistress hated the Forest Elves for not giving her the chance to capture the Fire Tribe, and she hated even more that the Beast King wanted to take advantage of her, even though she had cooperated with the Beast King briefly before... The Dark Elves were so unreasonable!
However, this does not mean that the Dark Elf Mistress is willing to openly comply with the wishes of the Fire Tribe. She is not stupid. Wouldn't the food that the Fire Tribe sells to the Dwarf King be used to deal with the Dark Elves?
The ruthless Lord of the Underworld sneered and said coldly, "Please be careful with your words, Dwarf King. The Cursed Land is the cursed land of the Minotaur. How can it be given to others at will?" He turned to look at the Elf King sitting between her and the Elf Queen, and said earnestly, "If it is my king's vassal race that assists the Minotaur in managing the Cursed Land, then I can rest assured."
In the Orc Tribe's seat, Hongye, Chief Arthur, Dahe, and even the silly Chief Huoyan all looked at Angelo who had infiltrated them with astonishment.
Angelo was shameless and had no idea what embarrassment was. He smiled at the grassland people and said shamelessly: "The mistress is very considerate of you."
The Dwarf King did not expect the Dark Elf Mistress to do this. He was shocked and then became furious.
The minotaurs who were sitting with the Snow Wolf Tribe all frowned tightly.
Before the Dwarf King could lose his temper and ruin the good situation of unanimously targeting the Beast King, Chief Harold stood up and looked ferociously at the big men who had the say on the field.
