*****In the papal palace in the capital of the Theocracy, in the luxurious guest room on the 15th floor of the Holy Tower****
At about 7:45 that night, after Cuiyin came to say goodbye, Zhang Youji, who was subsequently told by Valkyrie not to wander around, stayed alone in the luxurious guest room where he was assigned. Very boring to wait until now.
[··········, I’m tired of it. Even if I pass the time by looking at the scenery outside or eating, I’m really tired of it. Now I’m a little hopeful about that troublesome dinner. It will be faster, huh? 】
[Summoner, are you free now? The dinner party is about to begin. Fei Que and I have brought your costumes. 】
[You have free time, let’s say you are too busy to panic, come in, eh? Costume? 】
Sitting in front of a large window dedicated to viewing the scenery, holding a wine glass in his hand, although it was filled with juice, his eyes were like dead fish. While admiring the night view of the Theocracy's capital, he thought about waiting. Zhang Youji had had enough.
While he was talking to himself, there were suddenly several knocks on the door, and then Valkyrie's voice came over. As for Zhang Youji's reaction, he immediately responded to Valkyrie outside the door. Answer, although there is also a question about slow response.
[Sir Summoner, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Through the teleporter on Moni's side, I have followed Valkyrie's request and brought over this unique gift for you that was left in the maze. 】
[Summoning Master, there are many chores to be dealt with, so the time to change your clothes and explain some things to you is less than expected. I am very sorry. If possible, I hope you will focus on the banquet for now. host. 】
【Why? Well, that doesn't matter, but why did you bring that overly exaggerated dress? Also, changing clothes? 】
Zhang Youji looked at his face which was a little red for some reason, as if he had some very subtle awareness. Valkyrie walked in first, followed by Valkyrie who came in behind and held one piece respectfully and carefully. The whole body was mainly blue. , a very luxurious and exaggerated gift.
There was no special expression on Feijiao's face, he was just smiling as usual. He couldn't help but ask questions because of what the two people said when they walked in, and then with a somewhat ominous expression. I had a hunch and waited for these two people to answer.
[Yes, when I returned to the dungeon, the head maid who gave me this dress said that the Summoner didn't seem to know how to wear this dress, so when I came back, I asked Jane and Valkyrie After some discussion, we decided to let you change your clothes. 】
[Summoner, because the dinner banquet time is almost here, and Moni said that the Summoner probably won’t consider things like clothing, majesty, and face in formal occasions, so in addition to a pair of boxer briefs , other clothes can be changed without any worries, uh, please forgive us for being rude. 】
【Why? Why? Ah—? ! ? ! ? ! 】
Fei Que, who was naturally dumbfounded, didn't particularly care about the answer, and Valkyrie was obviously blushing. His expression was somewhat shy, but at the same time helpless, but he tried his best to maintain a serious atmosphere after answering.
Zhang Youji didn't react much and let out a scream in a sense. Except for a pair of boxer briefs, all the other clothes on his body were quickly stripped off and played with by these two people.
By the way, the costume that Fei Que took from the maze was too luxurious and exaggerated. It was made of the scales of the three-headed dragon, the feathers of the phoenix, the silk of the Spider Queen, and many other precious materials. The royal attire was made, but because it was very troublesome to put on, Zhang Youji didn't wear it many times.
In addition, the value of this King's Ceremony, based on Moni's calculation with reference to the values of humans in this other world, is completely a priceless treasure. In terms of how much it is worth, it is probably enough to buy the entire sect. The price is many times in China.
*****In the papal palace in the capital of the Theocracy, in the corridor in front of the door of the luxurious banquet hall on the 22nd floor of the Holy Tower****
At about 8 o'clock that night, Zhang Youji, who was forced to change into the royal attire he once wore by Valkyrie and Feique, was led by those two people after he changed his clothes.
Passing the road with many knights in pure white armor guarding the corridors, and busy maids dressed like nuns and maids, we arrived at the 22nd floor and row of the holy tower. There are many guards and maids standing in front of the waiting platinum gate.
[Hmm, this scene seems a bit familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere? 】
[Is the Lord Summoner talking about the time when he met the Elf King? 】
[Ah, indeed, this scene is very similar to the feeling at that time, but the difference from that time is that this time there should not be the kind of idiot who can make people come out to cause trouble, and the guards and guards will be frightened, and the lower body will be incontinent. Let’s forget about the coma incident. Let’s put aside the past misfortune. What should we do next? Just walk over and open the door and go in? 】
[No, summoning the Lord, it’s different from that time. This time we don’t need to do it ourselves. We only need to tell the guard guarding the door. When he finishes announcing and opens the door, we can follow the other person’s instructions and go in. Fei Que, please go and negotiate with the other party. I want to have a temporary discussion with the summoner about politeness. 】
[Okay, I understand, please leave it to me. 】
Zhang Youji, who was walking in the corridor a certain distance away from the white-gold door of the banquet hall, couldn't help but feel that he was in a scene with many maids and guards standing on both sides of the corridor and the familiar atmosphere. Talk to yourself when you have questions.
Valkyrie and Feique, who were walking in front of him and leading the way, stopped at an appropriate distance from the gate. With a wry smile, they briefly recalled with Zhang Youji what happened in the Elf Kingdom before. , Valkyrie and Fei Que prepared for the entrance.
Later, after Feique finished negotiating with the other party and asked the other party to issue a report, and after Valkyrie and Valkyrie gave Zhang Youji some brief instructions on polite words, the three of them in Zhang Youji's group followed the other party's instructions. and words of welcome, entering the banquet hall.
At this moment, following Valkyrie and Feique who were walking in front, Zhang Youji came to the banquet hall and saw a spacious environment with very luxurious interior decoration and very bright lights, and in the middle of the banquet hall, There is a long table that can accommodate more than 10 people.
But for some reason, there were only two people sitting in front of the long table, one man and one woman. Others were nearby, a band playing light music, and people making something using what looked like movable kitchen utensils. What kind of chef.
There are six paladins in total, each carrying a weapon for their master, standing behind the man and one woman. This overall scene gives people a certain sense of nobility.
[Hmm, how should I put it? This is really, completely simplified. 】
When Zhang Youji walked to the banquet hall and the long rectangular table, he couldn't help but look at the scene in front of him and subconsciously sighed.
Let a fat middle-aged man sitting on the left side of this rectangular, long table, with four paladins standing behind him, wearing very luxurious and extravagant papal costumes, opened his mouth to Zhang Youji in an amiable manner. Say hello.
[Hahaha, because half an hour ago some of the remnants of the park caused some things that needed to be handled manually, so the scale was simplified a lot. I'm really sorry to make you laugh, and please don't worry. Take a seat, welcome to the Theocracy, the Blue Summoner of the Labyrinth, Zhang Youji. 】
[Ah, um, thank you for your hospitality. 】
After Zhang Youji listened to the words of the middle-aged man sitting on the left side of the long table and his gesture of extending his hand, Zhang Youji, who was followed by Fei Que and Valkyrie, followed the man's signal and walked to the big table in front of him. On the right side of the long table, he sat on the luxurious high sofa placed there.
At the same time, Zhang Youji, who looked a little stiff in his movements and showed some tension in his expression, sat down and sat in the middle of the long table, wearing a white, luxurious and beautiful saintly costume, with two people standing behind him. The paladin, a very beautiful young woman in both figure and appearance, spoke to Zhang Youji in a voice that sounded very gentle and tolerant.
[Haha, it was only after I met him that I realized that, as Lord Bow Hero said, he is indeed completely different from some of the recently added characters mentioned in rumors. 】
[Are those unknown rumors increasing again? ! By the way, the hero of the bow? Do you know that guy Lian Meng? 】
[Yes, she is the most peculiar brave lady I have ever seen. In fact, the brave warriors who came to our country were also invited to tonight’s dinner party. However, due to some unexpected things, the brave warriors and some people responsible for welcoming you were Everyone has left the table. I'm very sorry. 】
[Ah, well, it doesn’t matter. It’s better to say that meeting other brave men besides Lian Meng will only cause trouble. On the contrary, Lian Meng seems to have caused you a lot of trouble. I’m a little embarrassed here. . 】
[To be precise, the only ones responsible for making up for the trouble caused by the brave man are me and the two holy knights around me. The Pope basically adopts a laissez-faire attitude towards the brave man, ah , By the way, although I have greeted the two adults behind you, I have not introduced myself to you yet. 】
When Zhang Youji listened to what the saint-like figure sitting in the middle of the long table said, he couldn't help but briefly chatted with the woman because of the sudden content related to his childhood sweetheart. , and after he had forgotten about Valkyrie and had just given temporary instructions about etiquette, he gave a somewhat awkward reply.
The woman who maintained a kind and gentle smile that was mixed with trouble and helplessness, while telling some of the current situation of the Bow Hero, quickly changed in the face of the Pope who seemed to be glaring at her. The topic was raised and preparations were made to introduce myself after the Pope.
[Ahem, indeed, I am the same on this point, so let’s start with me. I am the Pope of this Theocracy, Jocarod Bonnan. 】
[Then it’s my turn. I am Snow Light, the saint of the Theocracy. I don’t have any special surname or family name. I am just Snow Light now. Sir Zhang Youji, please take good care of me. 】
【Why? Um, ah, is it me in the end? Uh, I feel like I don’t need to introduce myself, right? 】
[Yes, your name has been widely spread even in our Theocracy, including those rumors, but rather than these small talk, I want to get to the point quickly. 】
[Although I still want to talk to Mr. Zhang Youji about some things about the Hero of the Bow, but since Mr. Pope you say so, I will not object. First of all, Mr. Zhang Youji, before talking about some things, please allow me to represent the Pope. I would like to ask you about the country’s position. Are you a friend or an enemy of the Theocracy? This is what the Pope and I want to know most right now. 】
【ha? Well? Friend or foe? 】
When the Pope [Jocarod Bonnan] and the Saint [Xue Guang] finished introducing themselves and looked at Zhang Youji together, he was a little confused about what to say and tried to make a speech.
However, the Pope had no reason to speak on his own, and chose to skip it and drag the topic directly into the topic. Although the saint's reaction was somewhat regretful, she also agreed with the Pope's policy on this point. Bai asked Zhang Youji a question.
As for Zhang Youji, who didn’t really understand what the Pope and the Saint were talking about. He just came to the Theocracy with the intention of having fun and didn’t think too deeply about it. He couldn’t help but feel excited because of this unexpected question. He was a little stunned, causing Valkyrie and Feique behind him to show troubled expressions, thinking about ways to assist Zhang Youji and interrupt the topic.
