The End of the Earth

Late at night, the moon was bright and the sky was clear without a cloud. The darkness without any cloud blocking the view was illuminated by the moonlight. Sitting on the top of the arrow tower of the castle, Xiang San could see a large area of ​​the inner city at a glance. The hundreds of houses were brightly lit, and there was no need to activate the demon vision at all.

The city is beautiful, but beneath its beautiful appearance are bleeding thorns.

The demon cells in his body were suppressed and could not be used. Fortunately, he could rely on the abilities of black crystals and black magic particles. Even if these abilities could not be used, Xiang San relied on his modified body and the various close combat techniques he was proficient in. Ordinary people could not deal with him.

"What kind of drug could actually suppress the demon cells?"

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Fowles had a potion to suppress the demon cells. Even the Demon Shackles could not effectively suppress the demon cells, but the Kahn family was able to do it.

Could it be that the Elf Kingdom is collaborating with Kahn Biotechnology, one of the three giants in the New World?

After thinking about it, this is the biggest possibility.

Not using the demon power for a long time feels like the withdrawal reaction when you quit smoking, but not as severe.

Xiang Sanyi waved his hand, and the black magic particles condensed into two long snakes in the air and swam around him.

Driving the Dark Magic Particles for a long time allowed him to discover many strange uses, including displaying various childish images for his own entertainment, thereby familiarizing himself with the ability.

The night was long, and for the first time he fell asleep in a human way without the action of demon cells, consuming nutrients in his body and producing various chemical reactions normally.

After sleeping till dawn, Xiang San stretched comfortably. As a marquis with an honorary title, he did not need to handle any serious business. He only needed to attend formal occasions to show his position.

In the evening, Calista sent someone to deliver a custom-made suit for him. It was the first time he wore such formal attire, and the Marquis's attire was more suitable for his style of dress.

"Lord Xiang, Her Majesty the Queen's ceremonial convoy has arrived."

"Okay, here we come."

Calista was very charming tonight, and Ansevi also wore a newly customized dress. She said it was a dress with the characteristics of the azure world called a cloud gauze dress.

Ms. Calista and Ms. Ansevi were in a white car, and Xiang San was in one alone.

Xiang San was not used to this so-called banquet, especially such a grand occasion. It was the first time in his life that he attended such an occasion.

What made him even more speechless was that it was not far from the Grand Duke's Palace and he still had to take a car to get there.

"Boring etiquette, huh?"

As he was complaining, Xiang San heard an unusual sound in the sky. It was the familiar roar of an airplane's propeller.

"What are these planes doing at this late hour?"

The attendant in the passenger car explained, "You mean those planes?

There's a dinner at the Grand Duke's Palace tonight, and all the food and drinks are flown in from Russia, China, and other countries."

"Isn't it just a birthday dinner? They're airlifting two planes of stuff. Are there a lot of people here tonight?"

The waiter nodded. He had heard of the immortal legend of the Marquis sitting behind him. He was not as sinister as the rumors said, but was quite approachable.

"Your Excellency the Marquis may not understand that a dinner like this is also an important opportunity for the Grand Duke's family to expand their network. Ambassadors from many countries, including Russia and China, will also be invited to attend."

"I see. That's interesting."

When Xiang San arrived at the Grand Duke's Mansion, he finally saw what a wealthy family was. It was even more exaggerated than those billionaire arms dealers he had assassinated overseas.

The Grand Duke's Palace is located on the road from the Central Palace to Jeverkách Castle, with its back to the palace.

Xiang San had always thought that it was a palace complex, but it turned out to be the home of Grand Duke Gulawang.

After getting off the car, the Grand Duke and his family came out to greet them personally, and a large number of people began to enter the banquet hall one after another.

The dinner was lively, but Xiang San felt bored. Occasionally, when some strangers tried to get close to him, he would just say a few perfunctory words.

"Are you the newly appointed Marquis?"

"Ok?"

Xiang San turned around and saw a well-mannered Asian man.

"you are?"

The Asian man spoke standard American English, and Xiang San was not sure what country he was from.

"My surname is Li and my given name is Sheng. I'm a Chinese diplomat stationed in the Elven Kingdom.

Seeing the Marquis immersed in wine, I came over to make some friends with him."

"Oh? Ambassador of China, nice to meet you.

Hey, come over here and fill up the glass for my new friend."

When Xiang San said "who is that", five or six waiters nearby came over tremblingly to pour wine for Li Sheng, which made Li Sheng a little overwhelmed.

Xiang San couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he pushed them away, took the decanter from one of them and ordered them to get out of the way.

"Come, Mr. Ambassador, I'll pour you some wine."

Li Sheng couldn't refuse Xiang San's hospitality. Unlike the usual etiquette of pouring one-third of the wine to fill the cup, Xiang San poured a full cup of wine.

"Your Excellency, I'm going to get drunk if you do that."

Xiang San was also a little drunk, with one arm around Li Sheng's shoulders and the other holding a goblet.

"Don't say 'Your Excellency the Old Marquis' or 'Your Excellency'. It sounds strange. Just call me Xiang San."

Li Sheng also heard about the Elf Queen appointing a new marquis. Although no actual power was granted, it was still a major event that could affect the Elf Royal Court.

In terms of rank, this newly appointed marquis is only below the Elf Queen and the Grand Duke. The Elf Kingdom has different national conditions from other countries on Earth, although it claims to have completely borrowed and copied human laws and regulations and has been thoroughly integrated into the big family of human civilization.

But after Li Sheng learned about it in the Elf Kingdom, he found that this was not entirely true.

People with high titles can influence many things, and he also knew that this Marquis and the Elf Queen seemed to be old friends.

He didn't expect that the Marquis seemed so easy to make friends with.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Xiang San, come on, let's drink this."

Breaking away from his usual etiquette, Li Sheng drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing Xiang San laughing heartily, Xiang San drank it all in one gulp and laughed loudly with Li Sheng, attracting the attention of many people attending the dinner.

The two were drinking happily when a few people came towards them and interrupted their social gathering.

"Earl Xiang and Ambassador Li are drinking happily here!"

"Meet Her Majesty the Queen~

You are particularly charming today. The fairy queen's beauty has long been known throughout China."

Seeing the Elf Queen, Li Sheng had regained his proper demeanor. Although he was a little drunk, Li Sheng also realized that the Queen and Marquis Xiang had something to say, so he made an excuse to leave.

"Why are you drinking alone here, and drinking like this with Ambassador Li?"

Calista looked at the attendant beside her, who then left with a group of guards, leaving only the queen and the marquis.

"You know me well. I'm here today to save face for Your Majesty the Queen. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother coming. Don't think that just because you've given me a title of Marquis, I'll shape myself into the image you envision."

Calista chuckled and covered her mouth, looking at Xiang San who was completely intoxicated.

"You look so beautiful in this dress. Is the craftsmanship in the Elf Kingdom so high?"

Kalista tapped Xiang San's forehead with her index finger, leaned against the railing and smiled, "We don't have it, but you Earthlings do."

The world’s current super factory is China.

Europe, North America, the Middle East, South America and other places where there is still human influence are inseparable from China and Russia in the East.

We in the Elven Kingdom provide rare materials, and they provide technical support and soft industrial products.

We are where we are today thanks to their help, although they have also benefited greatly from us.”

Xiang San filled their glasses with wine and asked in confusion, "Why has the Elf Kingdom been at war with Russia so often over the years?

From what you said, the hatred with Russia shouldn't be that great, right?"

“You may not believe it, but these things are not for me to decide.

There are many forces involved in this. Don't think that the power structure of the Elf Kingdom is controlled only by people from our Blue World. There are also many people from your Earth involved.

And they are connected with forces in other countries, so local wars and conflicts often occur.

However, things have been much better recently. I crowned Ye Minghao the king, and with him helping me bear the pressure from those legion commanders, I feel much more relaxed."

"Ye Minghao? Wang? This kid has such a bright future."

“How many of the people you brought out are small-time figures?”

Just as Calista was about to continue speaking, her expression suddenly darkened and she looked towards a flower bed.

Although Xiang San was drunk, he was not confused. As he spoke, he looked in the direction she was going, and suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed at the air. A short man with a thin figure and dark skin was grabbed and thrown to the ground.
