Chapter 356 Night Banquet 2
(Today's Dafeng, 1.5W words broke out in the fifth update! Kneel down and ask for collection, subscription, monthly pass!)
The black extended RV is driving slowly in the city, and this night, Asgard is very lively. Almost all the electricity is supplied to this huge mountain city, making the outer walls of each high-rise building shine with various lights. This is a situation that will never happen at ordinary times. Even if Asgard has several large power stations, it cannot supply all the electricity to the city all day long. Therefore, on weekdays, the city will carry out regional staggered peak power consumption at night, and the peripheral areas will even stop any power supply.
Only tonight is special.
Zero sat in the RV, sitting opposite him with an old man in a black dress. The old man is a master specially invited by Valkyrie to conduct temporary etiquette training for Zero. He comes from an aristocratic family and inherits a complete set of upper-class social etiquette from the old times. He is naggingly guiding how the Zero Day should behave at the banquet, from the distance of talking to the handshake when leaving, from the different etiquette between men and women to the details that should be paid attention to when eating and dining.
In order to remember these things, almost half of the brain memory center was opened to record the old man's words, while he himself looked absent-mindedly at the world outside the car.
Asgard's main road can only be described as a flood of traffic, and high-end RVs are driving in an orderly manner on the road. These cars have different patterns, and each pattern represents a family in the upper class of Asgard. But as far as Zero knows, there are only three families that can really be called a rich family in Asgatry.
They are the Herben family, the Black Rose family and the Planning family. These three rich families, whether in politics or shopping malls, occupy an important position in Asgatry, and even the Twelve Lords' Hall cannot ignore their voices. On this road, Zero will not see the cars of the three rich families, because they have a special road.
The highway exclusive to them distinguishes them from ordinary nobles and greatly widens the gap between ordinary nobles and real rich families.
This knowledge is also just known by Zero. It comes naturally from the mouth of the master of etiquette. The old man is not only familiar with the social etiquette of the old era, but also knows the political forces of Asgatri. Of course, he can't give zero an all-round lesson, but the general explanation is still okay. Which of the three rich families need to be paid attention to, what characteristics and habits they have, etc.
At this time, there was a "bang" outside the car, followed by various lights blowing up over Asgard. That's fireworks, but not made of gunpowder, but energy fireworks released by elemental capable people.
Zero opened the window and stretched out his head and saw countless fireworks blowing up in the sky. They quickly formed the symbol of the Yingling Hall and gradually retreated. This is the prelude to the fireworks feast, followed by clusters of fireworks in the night sky. They change various patterns, such as flowers blooming and competing for beauty, reflecting the city bathed in different brilliance.
Looking at the fireworks in the night sky, the car finally stopped on the Whitestone Square outside the city auditorium. An area has been planned for parking in the square. In addition to the three rich families and other senior officials, other nobles have to get off here and walk to the auditorium with their own legs.
The auditorium covers an area of nearly 10,000 square meters and looks like an elegant ancient temple, solemn and solemn. This place is usually a place for the city council to discuss politics, and occasionally becomes a stage for noble families to enjoy opera, and today it is an important place for celebration dinner.
It is said to be a celebration dinner, but in fact, it is just a name. This dinner mainly provides an opportunity for the headquarters and the nobles to communicate with each other. As for the promotion ceremony of zero people, it is just an incidental program. This upper-class society has zero interest in playing tricks, but he can't but come. Even for the sake of Ben's face, he can get the stage.
However, being able to show up on this occasion is also good for the future of Zero.
After making the final vict, the old man drove Zero out of the car. With a tight dress, he walked to the auditorium under the leadership of the waiter. Because he is not an ordinary guest, the waiter takes Ling away with a special passage. It entered through the west door of the auditorium and passed through the wide hall to a room that had already been arranged.
It is said to be a room, but it is already as large as the living room of Zero Apartment, with more than 200 square meters. The hall is lit with soft lights, and there is beautiful music turning a soft melody in the room. In the room, Zero saw some familiar faces, which naturally included his comrades-in-arms in the Battle of Jordanheim.
Feng and Joton were pointing out the waitress in the room in the corner, while Berien sat alone on a red sofa drinking wine. Su was talking to a man with his back to Zero, wearing a top hat, crutches, and elegant. Looking at him, Zero felt a little familiar. Then Su found Zero, so the man turned his head, but the man was Theon with a beard.
Zero was slightly surprised. He stepped forward and said, "Mr. Theon, why are you here?"
"It's hard to say." Theon sighed.
At this time, the waitress came to the three people with a drink. After being pregnant with red wine, she left and left the space for the two men. Theon's eyebrows were deeply locked. He picked up a whisky and drank it, while Zero asked for orange juice.
When he was about to drink the whisky to the end, Theon whispered, "Remter is over."
Zero lowered his head and had heard the news on the way back.
On that day, Zero and others thought that they had killed the creator Gulad, and Remmett's crisis was relieved. In fact, in Gurad's plan, a plan to infiltrate and capture Remte quietly launched and finally succeeded.
The troops led by Avinot were led away by the living corpses and eventually led to tragedy. Zero heard that the vast majority of Remte residents and some of Asgard's defenders died, including a powerful man, Hammer of Destruction.
Zero thought that Theon was not spared, but he saw him here in Asgard.
Theon closed his eyes and said painfully, "I wanted to die with Remter and Pella, but Mr. Avinot rescued me. Now Mr. Douglas has given me a foothold in this wonderful city, but as soon as I close my eyes, I will see the dead.
He shook his head and said with a wry smile, "My dream is over. But you are different, zero, you have just started.
Zero was silent. At this time, the door opened and the waiter said to the people in the room, "Please come with me. The banquet begins."
With the 300-person honor guard playing a passionate piece of music, the banquet officially began. The hall as the venue was magnificently decorated, with soft and dim yellow lights flashing on each face. The woman in a noble dress and the polite man talked to each other, performing a hypocritical drama on this huge stage.
Servants with wine and food shuttle through the crowd, and music and voices intertwined, weaving a picture like a prosperous era.
When he saw the hall, Zero felt in a trance, as if time was chaotic, and the wilderness and the end of the world were just an absurd dream. It's no wonder that soldiers like Zero rarely have the opportunity to appear on such occasions. Not only did he have this feeling, but even a few people were stunned for a moment. Only Berien seemed to be surprised and had walked straight to the venue.
"Mr. Douglas will not hold a soldier's promotion ceremony on such an occasion for no reason. Zero, he must have a deep meaning in doing so. One of them must want you to integrate into the upper class. Don't miss this opportunity. Theon smiled, as if he had changed back to the handsome man he used to be. But in his eyes, the painful light hidden in the depths betrayed him.
Theon just changed his mask. He whispered to Zero, "I'll talk to you later. I'll say goodbye first."
In the nod with Zero, Theon turned his crutch and walked towards the crowd. There are some people who are naturally sociable, and Theon is undoubtedly such a person. As for zero, it is undoubtedly not.
According to the procedure of the dinner, the opening is this speech and the buffet banquet, which is a relatively free link. All guests can move freely and talk to interested people without any restrictions. And the intermediate procedure is the promotion ceremony of zero people. Finally, there were speeches by some dignitaries, after which the dinner could be announced to be over. Of course, if the guests don't want to leave, they can continue to stay. Anyway, the banquet party itself is ready to work all night, and food and wine will definitely continue to be provided.
Although nominally, these soldiers who survived from Jotonheim are the protagonists of the banquet. But in fact, many people are much more eye-catching than them. Among them, the most concerned are Valkyrie and Lokiri.
The goddess of war wears a long silver dress tonight, which perfectly interprets her icy temperament. From the moment Valkyrie entered, nearly 80% of male animals in the hall had been on her for a long time. Zero has never complained that his five senses are so keen as he is now, otherwise he would not have heard the whispers hidden in the music and noise in the hall.
"Look, the goddess's figure is really good."
"Yes, I want to make her more exciting."
"I really want to taste her."
The nobles do not mean noble. The rotten life corrupts the hearts of these people, and the power of the superior position makes the shackles of desire out of control. Therefore, in the eyes of zero, these so-called nobles are sometimes more unscrupulous than the beasts in the wilderness.
These dirty words must not escape Valkyrie's ears. It's not the right occasion and time. I'm afraid these people who dare to point to point to her have been greeted by Valkyrie's gun.
When thinking about it, Valkyrie seemed to feel something and looked towards zero. Suddenly, the two met in mid-air. Zero nodded and raised the wine glass in his hand to Valkyrie. Valkyrie's face has been cold, and it was not until he saw Zero at this moment that he showed such a little smile.
Although there is only such a smile, it makes people feel as amazing as melting ice and snow.
