A group of craftsmen and formation masters involved in building the airship put away their notebooks with regretful expressions and stepped aside.
They finally had an opportunity to seek advice from the "inventor" of the airship, but were cut off by their King. They felt so depressed that they even cursed in their hearts:
It’s just fucking lunch, let’s have a hammer dinner!
Mo Bei, who was not good at socializing, was also a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to skip the mission plot directly, but he didn't want to rebuff King Ernstinger's face, so he could only say politely:
"My companions are all still in Harrogath. The siege of the city is getting more serious. I have to rush back early."
Yin Gere showed admiration and said immediately:
"I understand that His Excellency the Grand Duke is anxious. Your Majesty, he should have thought of this. He will not prolong the banquet too long, but if we do not express our gratitude, it will appear that we are too vulgar and rude. I see that you are so busy, you should be able to If you don’t have time to take a breath, why not just eat something and regain your energy before returning to the battlefield.”
"Oh well.."
Mo Bei really hadn't had much decent food since the flight, and he was really hungry. Hearing what Yin Ge said, he agreed.
"Please follow me!" Yin Gere raised his hand sideways and led Mo Bei out of the dock and onto a well-decorated four-wheeled animal-drawn cart.
Along the way, Mo Bei was looking at the two giant-horned blue sheep pulling the cart. He had noticed this creature when he came to Enstinger last time and overlooked the village below from the high tower outside the city.
Now that I saw it up close, I was even more surprised that this kind of blue sheep could grow so majestic. Its shoulder height was comparable to that of the Shire horses in the previous world, and its body shape was even stronger.
"This kind of beast of burden plays a very important role on the road from Ernstinger to the garrison fortress. Its strength is not much worse than that of the mule beast in the south, and it is faster. They are particularly good at climbing over mountains and ridges. Unique skill."
Yin Geer, who was sitting aside, saw that he was watching with great interest and full of curiosity, so he took the initiative to introduce:
"Before the heavy snow closed the mountains, they could also carry goods across the mountains to Harrogas. But in this season, the blue sheep cannot endure the severe extreme cold, so they have to use other methods."
"That's why you are so eager to put the airship into use?" Mo Bei asked.
Yin Ge smiled awkwardly:
"It is indeed too hasty, but it has caused a lot of trouble."
"I think there should be nothing wrong with the airship itself. If it is not intercepted in a targeted manner, it will definitely be able to reach Harrogas smoothly."
"There was indeed no problem halfway through the journey, but in the end we were negligent and did not conduct the most rigorous screening of the accompanying personnel."
Mo Bei didn't respond. He didn't know when all these people would be eliminated. He even had some doubts about whether Lucien was still living in a corner.
At the same time, he thought of Nilasek again. Even a character like that would have his mind twisted. It was not surprising that new traitors would appear among the thousands of job transferees, just like when he was tired of Eternity. Lilith and Inaris fight.
Compared with human lifespan, this war is so long that it makes people feel desperate. During this period, it is inevitable that there will be reasons for madness and rebellion.
Perhaps, this is also affected by the origin of their bloodline?
After a while, the tapping sound of the blue sheep's hooves slowed down, and the car stopped immediately. Mo Bei looked out and found that he had arrived in a cave that was several times larger than the previous shipyard. In the center stands a palace made of metal and rock. It is gray-black in color and looks quite forbidding.
Light pours down from the top of the cave, covering the entire palace. It actually penetrates the mountain. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and white clouds outside.
It can be seen that this is the highest point in the entire city.
There was already a neat queue waiting in front of the palace to welcome Yin Geer and Mo Bei.
The two walked straight into the main hall along the corridor. Many princes and ministers had already gathered here, and there were also groups of waiters shuttled back and forth, placing various drinks and food on the tables.
Mo Bei felt that the scene went silent for an instant, and he became the center of attention.
A person stood on the throne. He was of medium height and looked a bit stocky. He seemed to be King Peyton III of Ernstinger, whom he had never met before.
"Welcome! Your heroic and noble Grand Duke! Thank you for coming all the way to rescue my people in Enstinger. Of course, in addition to thanking you, I must also pay you the highest respect for the warrior!"
Peyton III was smiling and talking, while Mo Beiyu walked to the throne under the respectful guidance of the maid.
Because no one else spoke in the hall, his boots still made a clanging sound on the carpet, almost becoming the only sound on the field.
Only then did everyone notice that this man was still wearing heavy armor, and there were many traces of fighting on it. On the other hand, everyone on our side was wearing exquisite robes or formal clothes, which made Grand Duke Lu Gaoyin look a little out of place.
If anyone else dared to go to the palace in such full armor, they would probably be kicked out immediately, and how could they be allowed to approach the throne.
However, no one dared to show joking or disdain on their faces. They all watched with intent as Mo Bei walked to the throne, greeted Peyton III, and was then led by the maid to the seat on the lower right side of the throne to meet the king. Hand Yin Geer sat across from him.
The protagonist has already taken his seat, announcing the start of the banquet. Mo Bei took a towel from the maid and wiped his face, feeling much relieved immediately. After toasting with Payton III, he turned his attention to the various foods in front of him.
Apart from that kind of ham, he hasn't had the chance to taste any of Ernstinger's other specialty delicacies, so this time he can just enjoy it.
Yin Geer, who was opposite him, saw that he was eating happily, and he really regarded this as an ordinary dinner party. He couldn't help but smile helplessly, but he also had a lot of good impressions of Mo Bei.
On the throne, Peyton III held a wine glass in his hand, with the same smile on his face, and looked at the young man below with interest.
Mo Bei knew that there were many eyes on him, but he was too lazy to respond, pretending not to notice, but he didn't want to live up to the delicious food in front of him.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Most of the meats on the table were smoked or barbecued, and some were even smeared with honey, which suited his taste. He also knew that he couldn't eat and drink on such occasions, so he just had a good time here.
In order not to appear aloof, the princes and ministers also began to talk quietly to each other, making the scene lively again. They were the foils for this banquet, but they didn't expect that Grand Duke Lu Gaoyin would be so unsophisticated. Such a nobleman was really rare in his life.
Payton III didn't speak again until he saw Mo Bei's satisfied expression:
"Due to the hasty preparation, this banquet does seem a bit boring. Please forgive me."
"No! I think this kind of atmosphere couldn't be better. It's down-to-earth. It's not as extravagant and exaggerated as Kaltim's place." Mo Bei, who was full of wine and food, said sincerely.
As soon as these words came out, many people present could not help but twitch.
After all, Kaldim's affairs are not top secret, especially for those present, there are always some channels through which they can gain a relatively thorough understanding.
And Mo Bei's inadvertent words made the princes and ministers present suddenly react:
Who is this noble in front of me? He is clearly the Terminator of Nobles!
