The saint starts out by traveling around the world with a group of elves.
Chapter 108 A boring banquet, a noble with a dark glow on his forehead
The human king's attitude became a little colder, but he still maintained basic etiquette. In fact, this banquet was not for the elves. From beginning to end, the human king only cared about Chu Yi.
Although the divine weapon is powerful, it cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, every legend is worthy of the king's attention, not to mention that Chu Yi is a legend without a home.
That’s right, in the king’s opinion, Chu Yi’s claim that he was an elf was just a joke. Now that the gods have gone into seclusion, the records show that their number is no more than ten thousand, and the elves have never produced any legendary combat power. In the king’s opinion, they are just a small tribe.
If it weren't for Chu Yi's protection, the king would not have any interest in the elves. As for the value of the elves?
This value was hyped up by some bored nobles. It was flashy and superficial, and the human kings disdained it.
The banquet was set up in a special hall. The crystal lampshades were filled with the bright light of magic lamps. The exquisite wooden dining table exuded a faint fragrance. The white tablecloth was not wrinkled at all. Elegant music was played instantly by a special person. The faint scent of incense in the air made people extremely intoxicated.
In this banquet, Dusk Love that costs 1000 gold coins a bottle is not presentable. Various kinds of drinks are neatly placed on a crystal table, emitting a dreamy luster under the illumination of magic lamps. The price of each bottle of drink here is sky-high and unimaginable for ordinary people.
The waiters began to bring the food one by one. The food was certainly not ordinary. Although the portion was small, each one was as exquisite as a work of art, not to mention its value. The food on the tables of ordinary people could not be seen here at all.
"Please take a seat. This is a seat specially prepared for you."
The human king smiled faintly, then motioned Chu Yi and the others to sit down. Chu Yi was not polite and pulled Fanny to sit down directly, while Xilin sat obediently on Chu Yi's shoulder.
For the first time ever, the little guy was not excited about the banquet. To be honest, the little guy didn't want to go anywhere at today's banquet except to Chu Yi and Fanny.
What followed was some meaningless nonsense. Chu Yi was not in a hurry. Putting aside the people who attended the banquet, the banquet was actually quite good.
So Chu Yi chatted nonsense with the human king while enjoying these exquisite delicacies, and occasionally fed Funi and Xilin. The king saw this intimate behavior and it made him believe in a certain guess.
The rest of the nobles also looked on eagerly, but other than that, they didn't dare to make any small moves. Just kidding, if anyone dared to do anything to the people around Chuanqi, they must not know how to write the word death.
So, they just kept complimenting him and kept a proper fake smile on their faces. Even though Chu Yi was not very willing to pay attention to them, they still enjoyed it.
There is an indescribable sense of irony in the way he displays two completely different expressions compared to when he faces civilians.
Chu Yi just wanted to taste the food. Although these foods were precious, they were only for ordinary people. However, the chef was still very attentive. At least these foods were not just good-looking.
"Mr. Chu Yi, I have an unwelcome request. Can I ask for your opinion?"
The human king saw that Chu Yi had almost finished eating, so he decided to get to the point. To be honest, everyone present could hear the perfunctory tone in Chu Yi's words, but because of Chu Yi's legendary identity, they all hid their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
The human king did have some magnanimity, but there was no point in continuing the conversation. He had never thought of impressing a legend with so-called emotions.
As long as the face is acceptable, it is enough; only interests are the basis for maintaining a relationship, at least that is what the human king thinks.
Chu Yi nodded simply. Upon seeing this, the human king glanced at a servant beside him. Then, the servant brought an unexpected person.
"Lucy? Why are you here?!"
Xilin even let out a small exclamation, because the person who appeared with the servant was Sophia's good sister Lucy.
Lucy was dressed very beautifully at this time. She wore a gorgeous apricot-yellow princess dress which was embellished with some precious crystal ornaments. Her waist-length golden hair was not tied up but casually spread out.
The cute baby fat on her face is gone, replaced by light makeup. Although her height is still less than 1.7 meters, her plump body shows that Lucy is no longer the immature Lucy of the past.
Lucy glanced at Chu Yi and the others. Her expression was very complicated. She did not respond to Xilin who called her. After saluting stiffly, she lowered her eyebrows slightly and stood beside the human king.
"This is my daughter Lucy. I think Lord Chu Yi should be familiar with her."
"Although Lucy is not a magician, she has been interested in the etiquette between magicians since she was a child, so I want to find a suitable instructor for her."
"Mr. Chu Yi, may I ask if you are interested in this? Of course, I have another reward for this."
Xilin didn't understand what the human king meant. Is it necessary to learn the etiquette between magicians?
Fanny understood some of it, and her brows began to frown unconsciously. Chu Yi did not rush to speak, but looked at Lucy first. Lucy was biting her lips tightly at this time, and her face was slightly pale.
The human king’s meaning is very simple: join the king’s camp and receive a princess and resources.
Of course, this would not be said directly, but the human king believed that Chu Yi could understand the meaning of this sentence.
Of course Chu Yi could understand it. He could even imagine the resentment and anger in Lucy's heart when she heard the king's order.
But unfortunately, Lucy's father may be a qualified king, but he is definitely not a qualified father. In his opinion, marrying a legend is not a disgrace to the identity of a princess.
As for Lucy's own wishes? Unfortunately, this was not within the human king's consideration.
"I reject."
Chu Yi refused calmly, without even changing his facial expression, and his tone left no room for doubt.
The scene fell into silence for a moment. A hint of anger flashed in the human king's eyes again, but it quickly disappeared. The human king had expected Chu Yi to refuse.
But Chu Yi's way of rejecting was a bit too arrogant. Just a blunt "I refuse"? Did he really think that Legend could do whatever he wanted?
What the human king didn’t know was that legends really couldn’t do whatever they wanted, but this wasn’t a problem for saints, so Chu Yi didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he did.
Lucy's body trembled, and a hint of relief, a hint of loss, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. Unfortunately, no one noticed this.
The king hummed and did not continue speaking, but the nobles were still very enthusiastic. As for the reason, a noble with a shiny black forehead gave an explanation.
"Dear Sir, I also have an unwelcome request. In fact, the relationship between the human race and the elves can be closer."
"Why don't we send a group of representatives to each other's territories to learn about each other's culture and customs."
"Of course, to show our goodwill, we will prepare a thank-you gift that will satisfy you."
When the nobleman spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word "thank you gift". It is not difficult to guess that this would definitely be a precious thank you gift.
Before Fanny could say anything, Chu Yi laughed. This was the only time Chu Yi laughed out loud at today's banquet.
The sky in the royal capital has changed.
