Chapter 527

Episode 527 Banquet (2)

The ghost of Soleil, now under the rule of the principality, and the kingdom of Celia are closer than expected.

It would have taken two days if they had traveled by carriage, but at the speed of Ray, who was determined and started running, it would have taken several hours.

Passers-by who saw him leaping across the river and climbing the waterfall raised their eyes wide.

“The bar just... did you just see it?”

“What do you mean?”

“A ghost wearing a white robe jumped across the river...”

The man waved his hand at those nonsensical words.

“Did you just have a dream? How can a man run on water?”

“It’s real!”

“You seem very drunk. Let’s go home early today.”

Numerous people who witnessed him spoke as if they were complaining, but those around them tended to treat them as drunkards.

However, there were too many identical eyewitness accounts to simply dismiss it as drunken nonsense.

While Ray penetrates the territory and heads to the kingdom of Celia.

Rumors of a ‘ghost in white robes’ were spreading in the nearby area.

I climbed over the fence, but I couldn’t see my feet.

I lightly jumped over the high wall with just a few steps.

I kicked the stream and went up the waterfall.

All of them were stories that were hard to believe, but there was so much consistency in their statements.

In the end, the local guards went so far as to search for the ‘ghost in the white robe’ to maintain peace.

Not knowing what rumors he was spreading, Ray didn’t slow down towards Celia’s castle.

“It’s nice to be outside as well.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve run to my heart’s content in nature, and I feel relieved.

On the way, I looked at the village, and fortunately, it seemed that there was no attack from the Heukbang.

If it had created an unusual atmosphere, he would have increased the speed towards Celia, but Ray, who was relieved internally, took a break when a scenic spot appeared, or took his time by the stream.

“Well, no matter how strong the power of the Black Room is, if you want to deal with the entire continent, you will need some time to prepare.”

The history of kingdoms is not long for nothing.

Only the kingdoms that have protected themselves from numerous invasion dangers will not perish and survive.

From the point of view of the black room, which has to deal with all of them, there will be not one or two things to prepare.

Ray looked up at the sky for a moment.

In the evening, the moon rising high in the night sky emits blue light.

As I was leaning on a tree and looking at the night scenery, I thought it was somehow similar to the scenery of enlightenment I got from the Devil’s Landing.

The harmony of mana and air absorbed in the dungeon.

Who would have known that it would come to enlightenment and melt into one.

‘It’s not yet full power.’

I know that there is no need to rush.

At times like this, it’s better to think more slowly.

Ray put aside the idea of enlightenment.

“I’ll be able to find a clue again someday.”

I got up and brushed off my dusty ass.

If you go a little further, you will come to the royal road.

In order to meet Harpman, we will have to find the top.

“A friend of the saint eats it.”

The eyes of the audience gathered at the baron’s voice introducing him at the entrance.

Three beautiful women appeared behind Ale, who was tall and stocky.

Among them, Aira’s appearance was a fresh shock to the nobles.

Even the musicians forgot the performance for a moment and looked at her.

“Who is that?”

“I’m not sure, but I’m sure it’s an elf?”

“You look amazing...”

Looking straight at her appearance, they felt like they were holding their breath for a while.

To that extent, Aira’s appearance could be said to be the best in the banquet hall.

The high elves who had been waiting at the banquet hall beforehand greeted them.

“Are you a little late? I guess you weren’t used to wearing human clothes after all?”

Aira nodded at Serien’s words.

“It is an uncomfortable suit for me. It doesn’t fit.”

“Can’t you see everyone is staring at you? Humans should have seen this.”

At that, Aira smiled lightly.

“It is a beautiful night. You too are as beautiful as this night sky.”

It couldn’t have been an overly explicit remark.

Not to be outdone by him, another noble handed over a gift and said,

“I prepared with you in mind. I heard that elves don’t like worldly things, so I deliberately brought it in something that wouldn’t stand out.”

What he showed while talking was a necklace studded with countless jewels.

Seeing nobles from other countries appear like this, the nobles of Celia frowned and shook their heads.

This is the place where the saint’s funeral took place.

In addition, it was not polite to show his condolences and push his acquaintances at a banquet held for relatives to rest.

However, the nobles of other countries did not care about the eyes of the people around them.

As much as that, Aira’s appearance was brilliant, and there were quite a lot of people who coveted him.

“I am the Marquis of Jemon of the Kleiman Kingdom. How lucky you are today. I met such a beauty at a banquet. Perhaps the reason I came this far was also the will of Heaven to connect you and me.”

Aira also frowned at the greasy words.

“If you don’t want to get hurt, then everyone leave.”

“The prettier the flower, the more it has thorns. I will endure my pain with a smile.”

At those courageous words, Hans and Heprion shouted ‘Oh!’ exclaimed in admiration.

How dare you say such nonsense in front of a high elf.

As the situation turned a little strange, Ale also frowned.

She was the daughter-in-law in her heart.

However, when a tortoise baby, who looked uncomfortable, came forward, the feeling that was not good was even more hurt.

“Hey, Marquis Jemon. stop and go away.”

From Ail’s point of view, it was said in a very polite manner, but the escort knight who heard it burst into anger.

“What’s your habit of talking to the Marquis!”

Ale is a commoner.

If he was a nobleman or if the saint was still alive, the nobles had nothing to fear anymore as long as Celia had confirmed the saint’s death.

Ale’s expression darkened as the furious knight twitched his shoulders as if he were about to draw his sword.

“You have a knack for pissing people off. Today is not the seat, so I just skip it, but there is no second time.”

Ale pressed the knight’s shoulder.

As I pressed my collarbone with my elbow, the hard body of the escort knight collapsed to the floor.

“Aaaagh!”

“Let’s go back like this, Zemon.”

When he overpowered a knight who had reached the intermediate level of sword expert, Marquis Jemmon was terrified inside.

Hana man’s courage springs up in front of a beautiful woman.

He, who would normally back down easily, spoke with considerable force.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay doing this to me?”

Despite those low words, Ale did not back down.

Again, he answered coldly.

“Know that I saved your life today.”

At those words, Marquis Zemmon looked behind him. The high elves, who had been laughing and chatting before, were all looking at him with cold eyes.

At that point, Marquis Zemmon was able to grasp the situation.

But I can’t back down like this.

Shouldn’t he at least give a shame according to the etiquette?

Marquis Zemmon grinned and nodded.

“Okay. I also don’t want sword fighting to happen at the banquet.”

Seeing him withdrawing more easily than expected, Ale also relaxed a little.

OK.

Remedy –

The Marquis Zemmon knelt down on one knee and held out his hand in front of Aira.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have a dance as a means of reconciliation?”

Not only Aira, but the air around her suddenly became chilly.

This is a common behavior among nobles.

It is also an act that is obviously done to embarrass the opponent at the prom.

Even if you accept the dance request, it is a loss, and even if you reject it, the other person’s mood is very bad.

However, since it was not against the etiquette, it was ambiguous to say anything.

Ale, filled with anger, was about to step out.

Loud voices from outside spread throughout the lobby.

“The Holy Son enters!”

At those words, the air froze once again.

Like being possessed by something.

The eyes of the crowd gathered at the lobby entrance.
