This is a luxurious palace, with a majestic and majestic appearance, and its halls are also extremely gorgeous and luxurious.
Golden lights were scattered on the towering pillars and candlesticks, and the dazzling light was extremely dazzling. The high ceiling has a sense of openness, and the surrounding walls are engraved with reliefs of various exquisite patterns.
In the center of the hall is a luxurious staircase that makes people look back. After summoning the courage to walk up to the second floor, we arrived at the banquet hall where the dinner was held.
A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the high ceiling, and the long table from top to bottom is covered with soft silk, and on it are delicacies from the mountains and seas that only the upper class can taste.
Everything can only be described with the word "luxury".
Today is the divine banquet held by [Apollo Familia]. In the past, only gods could attend the banquet. This time, Apollo, the organizer, even asked that a child from his family must be brought to attend.
The other gods were the same as before. They thought it was interesting and agreed, and agreed to choose the most satisfactory child to bring over.
Essentially, it’s natural to show off.
"And for such a banquet, why am I here?"
Xiao Lin shook the goblet of red wine in his hand and stood on the balcony, looking at the carriages that were gathering one after another below and the handsome men and beauties in formal dresses who got off the carriages.
He also didn't expect Apollo to be so generous in order to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Although it is following the trend, it may not be without the idea of showing the strength of the family members and putting pressure on a weak family member.
Disgusting gods.
As for why Xiao Lin is here, we have to start talking about it after having a drink with a certain fancy god yesterday.
In order to let him attend the banquet, he did not hesitate to use his original kindness. What's even more confusing is how Hermes got himself involved.
And in a banquet dominated by gods, a lonely citizen of the lower world really stood out.
Fortunately, Liu Zi was with him, so it didn't look so awkward.
But the thoughts around me were a bit unbearable.
"Hey, don't you think those two children are great? They are handsome men and beautiful women. They are obviously human beings but are as dazzling as gods. How great! I really want to take them back to the family and love them!"
"If I remember correctly, that child should be the [Better]."
"Is he the child who went on the expedition with [Loki Familia]? I remember that he is not from Ouranos Familia? Could it be that Ouranos is here too?"
"Didn't see it. But he probably didn't come. He doesn't like this kind of occasion."
The gods are a group of bold and unrestrained people. They come to the lower world just to have fun. Naturally, they do not hide their desire for Xiao Lin and Liu Zi on the balcony.
After all, Kobayashi is wearing the dress specially designed for him by Sato Kazuma, which is the Dawn Knight suit that can highlight his unique temperament.
Coupled with the fact that Liu Zi was wearing a gorgeous evening dress and following behind him as a dance partner, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a golden boy.
It must be very honorable to be served by such a child.
Passionate and bold eyes kept falling on him, and some gods were already ready to make a move.
When I was planning to wander around the courtyard and disappear for a while.
"Ah! It's Xiaolin!"
A certain god pushed aside the crowd and rushed over desperately, hugging his arm as if he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
Although she is a woman, it is a tablet.
Among his limited acquaintances, there seems to be only one main god.
Turning to look at Loki, who was wearing a crisp red suit, and Ais, who was following behind him slightly shyly, he said hello: "Loki, God, long time no see. And Ais, you too. Also, your dress. very nice."
The light green dress has a low-cut backless cut, exposing her slender shoulders and fair skin. The skirt on her body is dotted with exquisite embroidery and decoration, and her arms are wearing long black gloves with smooth texture.
Part of her long blond hair was pulled up, and the rest fell to her lower back. Her chest was undulating but not abrupt, her slender waist and her long skirt were spread out.
At this moment, she looked extremely dazzling under the light, even most of the goddesses in the venue could not compare with her.
Praising a woman's appearance is the basis of a gentleman. Xiao Lin thought that it had no other meaning, it was just a polite greeting. But she didn't expect that Aisi's cheeks turned slightly red and she turned her head away, not daring to look at him.
Is it because I feel uncomfortable dressing up in an unconventional way?
A little too cute.
Loki felt bad when he saw Aisi being shy. He hooked Xiaolin's shoulder with a dangerous look and said in a low voice, "Hey, hey, hey, where are you looking at? I'm warning you, Aisi is mine!"
Because of the height difference, Xiao Lin had to bend down and said with a headache: "Yes, yes, I have no intention of grabbing him. Please rest assured, Lord Loki."
"You mean, you don't like my Ace? Are you trying to find trouble?!"
"Are you looking for trouble?!"
To let people rob or not to let people rob, which side is it?
It's not that she doesn't understand the feelings of Loki's father who wants to show off his most outstanding daughter, but is also afraid of being abducted by some bastard boy who doesn't know where, but her behavior will really make things difficult for both Xiao Lin and Ais.
At this time, Loki whispered: "Boy, it's not impossible to chase after my Aisi. I can even help you secretly."
She has not forgotten what the three giants of the family said before, that if there is a chance, she must win over Xiao Lin.
This is not a matter of whether she wants it or not, but what she must do to protect herself.
Loki is naturally unwilling to use Aisi as bait, but if he can deceive Xiaolin, why not let her take over?
Then he punched Hestia, kicked Freya, and drove all the eyesores out of the labyrinth city!
Hey Hey Hey--
Seeing Uncle Loki's greasy smile, Xiao Lin felt a chill and refused: "No, I chase girls and don't like people pointing behind my back. And Miss Ace is not an object, wouldn't she be angry if I said that? ?”
"……Huh?"
Loki was at a loss for words when he heard Xiaolin's rhetorical question, and at the same time he felt a faint anger coming from behind.
Turning around, he saw Ais raising her fist.
"Ai, Aisi...listen to me, this is a scam, how could I treat you as an object. You have to believe me!"
Snapped--
Unfortunately, Ais, who knew the character of her god, wouldn't believe it at all, and her fist landed hard on Loki's head, causing the god who lost his words to suffer immense pain.
Rocky playing tricks brings a touch of laughter to the space near the balcony.
As expected of the God of Mischief, both the symbol of the clan and herself have turned into a complete clown.
"Yeah! You are all getting together! Let me join in!"
Suddenly, a loud voice came.
Turning around, he saw Hermes leading the way. He was walking towards the balcony with a smile on his face. Seeing his eyes curled into crescents, Xiao Lin's anger increased a little more.
Behind him were the tortured and disgusted Jian Yulei, Hestia, Hephaestus, and their respective families.
"God Hermes, please keep your voice down."
While admonishing, Asfi sighed and adjusted her glasses. She was really worried about the incomprehensible God.
But Hermes didn't listen. Instead, he quickly ran to Xiao Lin and hugged his shoulders like Loki.
Since the two of them were about the same height, they didn't bend down this time.
Hermes shouted excitedly: "Hey, Xiaolin! You looked very reluctant when I invited you here. Isn't that because you are dressed up to look cool! In fact, you are also looking forward to this kind of occasion!"
really.
The carefully tailored clean white windbreaker makes the whole look tight and tight. It is paired with a black vest inside, slender straight legs and spotless white trousers. The waist is a slender white gold belt and aqua blue cross-patterned knight boots.
Standing on the balcony, he was as noble and elegant as a knight, but in his gentleness and handsomeness, he also exuded a unique ethereal and handsome appearance.
This is why he is always surrounded by the gods.
"I also feel that I am dressed up too conspicuously. If it weren't for this one piece of clothing..."
Xiao Lin is not like Hermes. Even if he is dressed casually and immodestly, he can still show his face and come in.
If he was dressed slovenly, he would definitely be kicked out.
Regaining his energy, Xiaolin met Jian Yulei, God Mihe and their family members, Nazha, under the introduction of Hermes and Hestia.
Xiao Lin smiled and praised them: "You two were so dazzling tonight, I almost couldn't help myself."
"Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Xiaolin was also very handsome tonight. He stole the limelight."
Nazha felt the sights around her and couldn't help shaking her shoulders.
She had been shivering like a newborn deer since she got off the carriage. It's really admirable that Xiao Lin was able to remain calm and composed when being watched by so many people.
"On the contrary, I would rather be less conspicuous."
"Stop lying. In fact, Xiaolin, you are secretly feeling happy. Look at those hungry eyes. As long as you are willing, you will hug the beauty tonight."
Hermetic playboy temperament is on full display.
Jian Yulei smashed his head and said angrily: "Don't talk about these nonsense! Do you really think everyone is the same as you?"
If you hit him well, Lord God, you should give him a good beating!
Xiao Lin was really secretly happy this time.
Just as Krillin was about to say hello to Bell and Hestia, Bell suddenly froze as he stared directly at Ace, while Hestia was fighting with Loki.
These two families are really weird.
Xiao Lin, who was watching the fight between the goddesses, heard Hephaestus and Mihe standing beside him say: "There are more and more people."
"After all, in addition to the gods, there are children here this time, so it will be more lively than the usual banquet."
People kept pouring into the venue at the door, and the balcony where they were standing was already bustling with people.
Such a lively atmosphere would definitely be even more lively if Aqua were present. After all, she is the goddess of banquets.
At this time, a god appeared from above.
"——Everyone, thank you for coming today!"
A sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the venue, and everyone in the hall looked there.
His short blond hair was as dazzling as the sun, and the smile on his lips was also bright. He wore a laurel crown with green leaves on his head, and his dignified appearance caught the attention of even the men present.
Moreover, there is a man and a woman following him on the left and right, which further highlights his status.
Yes, he is the host of this banquet and the owner of this palace.
——The sun god, Apollo!
"This time I changed the banquet with my own ideas. Do you still like it? I feel extremely happy to be able to see many of my own race and my beloved children..."
He was making the opening speech at the top with a very loud voice. The other gods who loved to join in the fun cheered and applauded.
But at this moment, Kobayashi, who was extremely sensitive to sight, noticed that Apollo's eyes seemed to be piercing the direction where they were.
Is he really targeting Bell?
Xiao Lin pretended not to know, and still tasted the red wine in the glass elegantly.
Hermes curled his lips and whispered: "That guy is still such a slut."
"Lord God, the master is delivering a speech from above. As guests, we should not utter our words below."
"What does it matter? We are friends!"
"That's not OK."
Asphi pinched his waist and abdomen, causing Hermes to finally let out a cold breath.
at the same time.
"It's going to be a long night tonight. I'll entertain you with good wine and delicious food, and I hope you all have a good time!"
At the end of his speech, Apollo opened his arms.
As if to express their approval, the gods with the Sun God as the center cheered one after another. Many people raised beautiful glasses, and the banquet hall suddenly became lively.
"Let's go Bell and have a big meal!"
"Let's go too, Ace!"
The moment the speech ended, Hestia held Bell's hand and walked towards the dining table. Not to be outdone, Loki grabbed Ais's arm and walked to the other side.
It seems that there was no winner in their quarrel.
Ais, who was dragged away, looked at Xiao Lin blankly, her mouth slightly opened as if she wanted to say something. Xiao Lin told her not to worry, there would be a chance, and at the same time raised the wine glass in his hand to give her a distant salute.
It's the way Xiao Lizi toasts.
After receiving the response, Ais nodded, with a faint smile on her lips, and then let Loki lead him away.
Come back here.
Bell just saw Xiaolin and apologized quickly.
Xiao Lin accepted his apology heartily, but could he please look at the occasion? Keeping bowing under the gaze of other gods would seem to make things difficult for him.
"That's enough, get up quickly!"
Xiaolin held his shoulders to prevent Rabbit, who was anxious because of the atmosphere, from panicking.
There were no special etiquette rules for the banquet of the gods. Some of the gods even opened their mouths and laughed heartily, indicating that Bell should not be so nervous and restrained, and they started chatting.
After all, the essence of a banquet is to communicate with each other.
The first target was naturally the host of the banquet, the sun god Apollo.
"What kind of god does Apollo worship?"
"He is a very interesting guy, and other gods in the heaven often make him a laughing stock."
Strange words were heard from Hermes' mouth.
Not only Bell, but also people from the lower realms such as Ming, Nazha, and Yasifei were all interested in Apollo's affairs, so they all listened carefully.
Hermes said with a smile: "Anyway, that guy has a lot of good news. He is not an adventurer, but he is still nicknamed by everyone...called [Sorrow Love]?"
"Sad love?"
"He's just passionate about love. And... he prefers to stalk."
"……Eh?"
Bell was completely dumbfounded.
What is sad love?
What about stalking?
But before he could ask these questions, a loud noise came from the entrance of the banquet hall, drowning out his voice.
"Haha, the big shot is here!"
Hermes looked at Xiao Lin and said this narrowly.
I always feel like he wants to express something.
Xiao Lin also followed the line of sight and instantly understood the cause of the commotion.
She has long silver-gray hair and eyes of the same color as her hair, wrapped in a plump chest and water snake waist. Every move attracts many eyes, like a walking hormone.
She is none other than the goddess of beauty Freya, and the burly orc in the back - Otta.
Even without the ability to charm, she is still the most beautiful goddess present.
Hestia covered Bell's eyes, and the other gods turned their heads slightly and did not dare to look at her. As a result, Xiaolin was the only one in the entire hall whose eyes fell on her.
As if sensing something, Freya stopped suddenly, stared at Xiao Lin for a while, and then walked towards him with a smile.
The goddess of beauty made a crisp sound as she stepped on her shoes, and took the initiative to move out of the way as the crowd in front moved forward.
Not long after, the goddess with the orc entourage came to them.
"Long time no see, Xiaolin."
She was extremely natural, silently reaching out her hand and caressing Xiao Lin's cheek. The sound of endless charm echoed in my ears, sometimes far and sometimes near.
"——Can you let me have a good dream tonight?"
"I'm sorry. I'm more interested in him (Otta) than you (goddess)."
"……Eh?"
The beautiful god who was rejected was dumbfounded.
