*****In front of the main entrance of the king's temporary residence in the starting town****
Zhang Youji and his entourage followed the knights leading the way and marched along the planned parade route for about 50 minutes. Finally, they arrived at the target location, the courtyard gate of the mansion where the king temporarily lived, and passed through the courtyard gate. After making some preparations, the parade that arrived first and the brave team passed through the long courtyard road leading to the mansion, Zhang Youji and his party arrived at the gate of the mansion where the king temporarily lived. forward.
However, Zhang Youji, who thought that the showy scene would end here, could finally go to the king to talk business, and then quickly returned to the maze to rest. He was completely mentally exhausted, but he never thought that the previous parade was just a foreplay. The aftermath has just begun.
Before Zhang Youji and his party arrived at the mansion, Kimberly Liya, who had some connection with Zhang Youji, came out with a large group of maids to greet Zhang Youji and his party. Although the maids behind Liya were When they saw Zhang Youji's obviously [abnormal] group, except for Ling Ya who had been following Liya, they were all just like the knights leading the way, trembling all over and smiling with blue faces.
[Long time no see, you are very welcome, Mr. Zhang Youji. 】
[Well, long time no see, your spirits don’t seem to be that good, Liya. 】
[Master Zhang Youji and Master Liya have not slept much at all recently because of various things caused by you. Because of the various aftermaths caused by your force's previous conflict with the Demon King, they have not slept much at all. Didn't sleep much. 】
After Zhang Youji got down from the throne carried by Spider Queen Nasi and briefly greeted Liya, who had obvious dark circles under her eyes, Zhang Youji's attention was drawn to Liya who was following him. , the maid Lingya who was angry for some reason was completely attracted to her and received some mental attacks.
【Wow? ! Liya, the look in your maid's eyes is so scary! And I specifically said it twice! 】
[Lingya, that’s so rude. If it hadn’t been for Lord Zhang Youji, not only the royal capital, but the entire kingdom would have perished! 】
[I'm very sorry, Lady Liya, then Sir Zhang Youji, due to the space in the mansion and etiquette reasons, could you please select no more than 5 accompanying persons from the companions you brought to meet with us? Where is the king? As for those who are not selected, we will ask the knights from the team to take them to the guest house next to this mansion to rest. It would also be best if we can choose the type of person to match them. 】
[Ah, this guy, he changes the topic so quickly and has so many demands! Forget it, I really don’t want to waste my time. 】
When Liya heard what Zhang Youji said loudly, although she immediately said something to blame Lingya, Lingya simply dismissed it and immediately changed the topic, letting Zhang Youji choose the accompanying personnel and prepare to lead He entered the mansion and went to see the king.
As for Zhang Youji, who was already in a state of mental fatigue and wanted to finish his work and return to the maze early, he thought about the candidates for his companions. After thinking about it, he asked the knights who were waiting aside to lead the team. Following the remaining family members, they headed to the very obvious guest house located on the left side of the mansion. Zhang Youji himself and the three selected family members followed Liya and Lingya, accompanied by a group of maids. , went to meet the king.
*****In the reception room of the king's temporary residence in the starting town****
When Zhang Youji, Valkyrie, Caiyu, and Deguna, who were selected after thinking, followed Liya, her maid Lingya, and a group of accompanying maids, they passed several people in the mansion. After walking down the corridor and up the stairs for a while, I came to a very luxuriously decorated reception room.
The layout of this living room is a configuration of 3 large luxurious sofas on each side, 6 in total, plus 3 low-leg tables placed in the middle of the sofas. The space in the room is also very large and well-decorated. Not bad, the overall feeling is that no space is wasted.
Zhang Youji originally thought that the king was the only person waiting in the reception room, but for some reason, the first princess Lailei also sat on the big sofa on the right side of the room with the king. The moment he walked into the reception room, he started staring at him with sparkling eyes. Zhang Youji, who was not used to this kind of eyes, unconsciously took a step back and happened to step on Deguna behind him. The foot made Deguna show some doubts in her eyes and spoke to Zhang Youji in a low voice.
[Summoner, what’s wrong? 】
[I always feel that those sparkling eyes are a bit scary. It’s not quite right to say that. In short, it’s just a bad feeling. 】
[Sparkling eyes? Ah, it came from the girl sitting next to the king. She once had such a popular period. The feeling of the summoner is indeed understandable, but the summoner, it is better to follow the eldest lady and sit down first. After all, It's a formal occasion, so it's best to put other things aside in advance. 】
[Ah, well, I feel like I suddenly calm down when I see you, who is usually just a pity fool, but pretends to be an ice beauty. 】
[Summoning Lord, believe it or not, I’m really crying here for you to see? 】
When Zhang Youji and Deguna whispered a few words, listened to Deguna's patient persuasion, and watched Deguna calm down after her uncharacteristic behavior, Varky showed some sympathy towards Deguna. Rito and Iroha walked into the reception room together, facing each other on the left side where the king and Riya were seated.
Zhang Youji sat on the sofa, while Valkyrie and Caiyu stood behind the sofa like bodyguards like the king and Lingya behind Liya, leaving them alone with a thoughtful look on their faces. Deguna was crying and was still in a daze at the door. When she realized this, she immediately moved to the position of bodyguard and barely saved her face.
[Sir Zhang Youji, you are very welcome to visit. Do you still remember me? 】
【Why? Ah, well, I remember she is the first princess and her name is Lailei? 】
【Yes! You still remember what happened to me! 】
When Zhang Youji sat on the sofa and saw what the king was about to say, the first princess Lailei next to the king started to greet Zhang Youji first with sparkling eyes, and Lailei was still there. After Zhang Youji said what he barely remembered, he showed an expression of admiration and happiness, which made Zhang Youji feel a certain sense of terror.
Fortunately, the king changed the subject in time and brought the topic back to business. Otherwise, Zhang Youji would have fallen into the so-called entanglement of crazy fans, a situation that would be difficult to escape even if he wanted to. Even if the topic was interrupted, Lailei still stared at him with an expression and eyes that made Zhang Yuji start to tremble.
[Anyway, the reason why the king came to me is to talk about my future plans, right? 】
[Yes, because your power has become too strong to be ignored. Although the news has not spread yet, just last night, the Theocracy hurriedly sent an envoy to observe the situation in the kingdom. After arriving, they even brought... You have been officially recognized by the God Realm as the representative of a new large-scale heretical force in this world, named the Blue Summoner of the Labyrinth, and have become able to compete with the blood-red overlord of the battlefield, the pure white girl of Paradise, The ingenious creator of the secret realm, the fourth large-scale heresy that these three large-scale heretics rival. 】
【Wow? ! It feels like things are spiraling out of control without even realizing it? ! 】
After Zhang Yuji listened to the serious explanation of the king who was sitting on the sofa opposite, Zhang Yuji immediately held his head and shouted with a headache. Behind him, Valkyrie, Caiyu, and Deguna, these three The guardian also put on a serious expression and thought about some things in the future.
Although Lai Lei, who was sitting next to the king, her sparkling eyes became more intense at this time, and Zhang Youji's head, which was hurting, began to hurt even more, but Li Lei, who was sitting on the other side of the king, The words that Ya said immediately forcibly pulled Zhang Youji back from his consciousness, which was about to fall into a trance.
[Excuse me, Sir Zhang Youji, could you please tell me your thoughts in the future? Although I don’t think you will become an enemy of mankind, if you don’t express your thoughts clearly, I am afraid that you will plant the seeds of uneasiness in people’s hearts in the future. The scene during the parade just now, the way the people looked at you I think you may have noticed the hidden feelings of the people towards you in your eyes. 】
【······, well, it’s probably fear, hatred, and disbelief, right? Because of this, I am already a little mentally tired. 】
[It is precisely because of this that we would like to ask you to express your thoughts on the future in person in front of the people, so as to eliminate people's uneasiness and some of the rumors that have been spread. 】
[Alas, I just want to live an ordinary daily life. Why is it like this? 】
After Liya said some things and listened to Zhang Youji's answer after being silent for a while, she took the opportunity to continue to say some requests, which made Zhang Youji sigh, express some emotions, and think about it. How to throw troublesome things to others, but Zhang Youji quickly gave up thinking and simply said what he was thinking about.
[Now, do I have to say this? I always feel that it will be very troublesome. Can I find someone to do it for me? I'm very bad at this kind of thing. 】
[It’s not impossible, but as far as you are concerned, the effect is the best. I don’t want to force you to do anything, but this is indeed a good opportunity. I hope you can think about it carefully. After all, the distance is There is still some time left for the scheduled speech to the public before 5 o'clock. 】
[Well, anyway, I will think about it. Wait a moment. King, what did you say about the speech before 5 o'clock? 】
[Ah, I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhang Youji, because I have been so busy recently, I forgot to inform you about this matter. In fact, I should have informed you about the next reservation on the way into the mansion and the conference room. of. 】
[Next, reservation? 】
When Zhang Youji listened to the king's answer, although he relaxed a little at first, Zhang Youji suddenly noticed something was wrong and immediately asked his question, which suddenly reminded Liya of some forgotten things. He immediately bowed his head and apologized to Zhang Youji, and said one after another. For Zhang Youji, who hates trouble, there was some news that made him want to cry.
First of all, I hope that Zhang Youji will attend the welcome banquet that is about to start, and at the same time show his face to some of the important people present, give a brief introduction, and answer some questions.
Then, he hoped that Zhang Youji would attend a meeting that was about to start, exchange some things with the previous big shots and the envoys sent by the Theocracy, and if possible, make some promises and agreements.
In addition, there are a lot of reservations in the future. In short, Zhang Youji’s schedule before 5 p.m. is already fully booked, and things after that are still being arranged. Zhang Youji will not tell the public until 5 p.m. It can be accurately determined after the speech activity is over.
Although the king and Liya both said that they would let Zhang Youji freely choose his itinerary and would not force him to attend, their statements were full of words that made Zhang Youji unable to say no, and both of them also said that they would not force him to attend. It was out of good intentions that I wanted to invite him to attend.
Therefore, Zhang Youji, who was unable to give a "no" answer and agreed to attend all events, could only use a gentle but tearful smile to watch the king leave the reception room one after another for the next scheduled activities. He and Liya, and the maid Lingya who followed Liya.
She couldn't help but look at Lailei, who was still looking at her expectantly with sparkling eyes. She walked to the window in the reception room, turned her back to Lailei, and shed a few tears as if she had been on a pirate ship. , sighing about life so far.
【It’s really a life of ups and downs. 】
[Indeed, just as Mr. Zhang Youji said, your life is in a very glorious period! 】
【Uh, Miss Riley? Probably the idea of calling the Lord is not the same as what you are thinking about. 】
[What should I do? I always feel that the contractor has become very melancholy because of what happened next. 】
[Anyway, Iroha, Leilei will be left to Deguna to deal with. We should find a way to help the summoner overcome the next difficulties. After all, the summoner is not very good at that kind of thing, and we don’t have much diplomacy. Based on our experience, we can only try our best to take countermeasures now. 】
Just like that, Valkyrie and Iroha were looking at Zhang Yuji and Lailei, who may have said the same thing, but were thinking about completely different things, and the one who was responsible for smoothing things over between them. Deguna, after quietly discussing with each other for a few words, the two of them discussed the next countermeasures in a very nerve-wracking manner, so as to help Zhang Youji, who had given up on certain things now, get through the next difficult period. It’s difficult in a sense.
