Chapter 114 The never-ending banquet
"Let's drink to victory!!"
"Ouch, ow, ow!!!!"
"Cheers!"
The sounds of toasting and the noisy gongs and drums celebrating victory were noisy.
As the Demon King, holding his wine glass high, announced the start of the banquet, the victory dinner finally began.
The light and melodious sound of the accordion, accompanied by people's laughter and laughter, resounded throughout the bustling streets. Pots of freshly baked delicacies were piled as high as a hill on long, crooked oak tables.
The MVP of the game was won by the little devils of Nightmare Land without any accident. They are always the most positive and swept the entire "battlefield" like a tornado.
As Sissi's capable men, Yossi and Missy were like seagulls attacking the port, flying up to the sky holding an oak wine glass that was one-third as tall as themselves.
The two cups collided together, and a silvery bell-like smile resounded in the splashing beer foam.
ifyint’ The two little devils held wine glasses bigger than their heads and started to hold them , not caring about the beer bubbles that were all over them and scattered everywhere .
Resisting the urge to shoot the bats, the night elves moved away from the beer foam and elegantly changed tables.
There are plenty of seats here anyway.
Not long after this group of pointed ears left, several lizardmen headed by the pig-headed knights rushed over at lightning speed.
"Mine! They're all mine!!!"
Looking at the good brother who was hurriedly cooking with the little devil's "bath water" just after he was resurrected, the tauren warrior covered his old face and skillfully pretended not to recognize this Shabi.
At the same time, the "battle" in the sky continued. After finishing a glass of beer, Yossi and Missi dived again, filling their hands with a large glass of beer.
Looking at the two leaders with high fighting spirit, the little devils on the side suddenly started to chirp at the excitement.
"What's going on?!"
"Is this a competition, boss?!"
"I bet on Yossi to win!!! She dares to eat anything!"
"It must be Missy!! Missy is the smartest!"
"Stupid! What's the use of being smart?! This is more than alcohol consumption!"
"Ouch! It's on fire!!"
Amidst the cheers of the little devils, Missy and Yousi's eyes gradually sparkled when they met.
"Now we have to decide the winner."
"Kokoko... even if you want to beat me, you're still a hundred years away!" Impersonating Queen Sissi's laughter, Yossi puffed up his chest confidently, completely ignoring the opponent in front of him.
Faced with the provocation from her lifelong enemy, Missy did not panic at all, with a confident smile on her face.
"That's not necessarily true! I've been fattened by the Demon King!"
Yusi was shocked, "??? You guy! You really ate it behind my back!"
The battle is about to begin!
The two little guys were not big in stature, but they had big appetites. In the blink of an eye, they finished another cup of draft beer without even burping.
Looking at the leader who drank like an ox, the little devils screamed with excitement, flapped their wings and clapped.
That Niu, who had an extraordinary capacity for drinking, even Luo Yan, who was sitting in the distance watching the excitement, couldn't help but show an expression of astonishment.
In terms of proportion, a human cup is almost equal to a little devil's barrel, and the latter can even get into it if he tries hard.
He seemed to see two pigs flying in the sky.
However, just as he and the other little demons were waiting for the third round of competition to begin, the two contestants seemed to have reached their limit and fell straight down like crashed bombers, almost knocking off the line of the pig-headed knight who was looking up with his neck stretched out.
"Hahahaha! Look at how stupid you are! Referee! Missy vomited! Declare victory now! Win, the winner is Yossi!"
Climbed out from under the table first, Yossi stepped on the stool with his feet on the stool, his wings flapped slowly as if he was flying, and he looked down at Missy who was vomiting.
Slowly crawled out from under the table. Missy, with beer foam on her face, giggled. She smiled and suddenly burst into tears, and hugged Yousi on his lap.
"Woohoo! Yossi! It feels so good to be alive!"
Looking at the unpromising look of his colleagues, Yossi laughed loudly and proudly, and said with a round belly.
"Really? Don't say stupid things about dying next time! Yussi, I almost died!"
"Yeah!"
Missy's eyes filled with tears, and she grabbed Yousi's skirt and rubbed it again.
After solving the hygiene problem, she was about to climb out from under the table when her face suddenly changed and she vomited again.
Yussi screamed after being vomited all over.
“Hey! Don’t spit on me!”
“Hey! Don’t puke on me!”
Yossi, who was flapping his wings, tried to distance himself, but Missy, who couldn't afford to lose, tightly hugged his legs and rolled them together under the table.
That scene can only be described as eye-catching.
This time there were not just one table of guests, but a dozen or so nearby tables who all moved away with their tables, leaving the battlefield free for the two little devils.
Only the pig-headed brother who was knocked unconscious by the smash remained where he was.
I just don't know whether he is really dizzy or fake when he is lying on his back...
Not far away, Shark Luo, Whale Luo and Xiao Wan, whose wings are flapping, are watching the show among the NPC little devils.
Looking at the empty arena, Shark dropped his things and said eagerly.
"Brother Jing! Let's try it too!"
She may not be able to win with other things, but she will never lose with rice!
Whale Luo Bei Nan rolled his eyes angrily.
"Try your trick! I don't want to walk around the streets looking for a toilet...and there's no benefit to winning."
"Is there no benefit?" Shark dropped the thing and was surprised, "I thought this was some kind of hidden competition...don't we usually have it? Small games at celebrations, Earn points and you can exchange them for the Demon King’s mysterious prizes! ”
“Perhaps our Demon King is stingy... I’m also wondering, is this activity just about watching besides doing the work? Or does it mean that the players have to explore on their own.”
Whale Luo Nanbei touched his chin and fell into thought.
Xiao Wan, who was floating aside, stared at the little devils in the sky with a sad expression.
"How do you think the monsters were solved?"
"Solved?" Shark Tuo looked at Xiao Wan and tilted his head in confusion.
While the three of them were talking, an adventurer suddenly wiped his shiny forehead on the long table not far away and muttered while looking at the foggy sky.
"Is it raining?"
The drunken mercenary on the side grabbed his shoulder and said with a playful smile.
“What nonsense are you talking about, this is a maze, where does the rain come from!”
After saying that, he raised the cup in his hand and shouted at the busy waiter who couldn't touch the ground.
"Wine! Boss! I've finished the wine - Huh? When will you refill it for me?"
Looking at the mercenaries spraying out and the noisy banquet scene, Whale Luo and Shark Luo looked at each other with subtle expressions.
"Damn... Why do I, as a little devil, feel like I've lost."
"Well, I lost."
Xiao Wan: "...?"
"Hahaha! What a shame!"
He always felt like something was missing if he didn't say this.
Sure enough, after he blurted out these words, he felt that the bread and roasted meat in the basin became more delicious.
Some people are having fun, and others are naturally embarrassed.
As the king of the little devils, Sissi was forced to bear everything without exception.
Sitting on the elevated chair, her expression was as if she was sitting on pins and needles. She kept changing her sitting position, but she felt itchy no matter what.
Especially the night elves' colleagues who frequently cast disapproving glances at her, which made her feel humiliated even more as she tried to maintain an elegant manner in front of the Demon King.
Do these pointy ears want to fight? !
She clenched her pea-sized fists in anger, and finally let go, looking at the Demon King next to her in frustration.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Demon King, my subordinates are a little too complacent..."
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's a rare day to celebrate, it's just a little prank, it's harmless. As long as it's not too much, let them go!"
Who wants the little devils to be the heroes?
Those who have been pranked should bear with it.
In any case, no little devil dared to play tricks on him. On the contrary, he gained a lot of faith by relying on the anger of the guests who had nowhere to vent.
Speaking of it, I really miss it. Looking at the "bombers" flying in the sky, Luo Yan couldn't help but recall his days at Demon King Academy.
In the past, he never wanted to leave there, but when he really went to a place far away from the sky, he missed the life there again.
I don’t know how Pastor Jeffrey is doing lately.
Let's go back and have a look after some time.
Looking at Luo Yan's half-smiling expression, Sissi misunderstood, thinking that Lord Demon King really cared about him, but just didn't say anything for his own sake. Her depressed expression suddenly made her even more ashamed.
"Thank you for your generous understanding. I will definitely discipline my subordinates strictly after I return..."
She emphasized the words "strict discipline" so much that it seemed to contain some irresistible magic power.
Feeling the overwhelming anger, Yusi and Missy, who were fighting not far away, suddenly became excited and quickly shrank their necks to restrain their lawless nature.
"Missy! I have a bad feeling!"
"Me, me, me, let's fly farther away!"
"That's what I meant!"
I could feel Her Majesty the Queen's anger from the resonance of the magic net, and all the little devils flying above the banquet dispersed in a rush.
Watching the little demons flying in the sky go away, Tyrell, who had not said a word since the beginning of the banquet, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully, and then turned his attention to the Demon King.
"I heard that you have reached an agreement with humans?"
Those deep and sharp eyes have a penetrating power. They are more like the misty forest itself than the eyes of a hunter in the forest.
Luo Yan could see his city from it, but not much.
After all, the real city is not written on the face, but often hidden behind the harmless smiles of humans and animals that no one can see.
In contrast, he was more concerned about the dead wood cane that Tyrell was leaning on next to the chair.
He always felt as if there were a pair of eyes full of wisdom hidden in those decayed wrinkles.
Do you want to make a decision after you have passed your breath? "
"How arrogant," Sissi narrowed her eyes slightly while shaking the stone goblet, with a hint of danger in her lazy gaze, "Are you questioning Lord Demon King's decision?"
"I don't mean to question, I just express reasonable doubts," Tyrell looked at Sissi expressionlessly and continued in a calm voice, "I think reasonable advice is what a minister should do. Doesn't the Nightmare Land care about the future of the maze?"
< br/> "The Nightmare Land supports all the Demon King's decisions, whether now or in the future."
Faced with Tyrell's question, Sissi stated her position casually, and then suddenly seemed to have thought of something, her bright red lips raised slightly.
"Tyrell, I said you should stop pretending. Why didn't you see so many problems when Reggie Dragon was here? He was no longer a minister then?"
Pairs of eyes looked at her, and many night elves had angry looks in their eyes.
Facing those murderous eyes, Sissi could no longer suppress the mocking smile on her lips, faintly revealing the tiger fangs hanging on her lips.
"Did I say it right? A guy who is afraid of power but not ethical."
"You guy..." Shirley stood up with her eyes wide open and clenched her right hand into a fist.
"Shirley!"
Tyrell reprimanded his daughter, forced her to sit back on the chair with authority, then looked at the Demon King and nodded slightly.
"Please forgive my daughter's rudeness... Also, if my expression is offensive, please forgive me."
Luo Yan smiled lightly and said in an easy-going voice.
"It's okay, your concerns are reasonable. I originally planned to hold a meeting after the banquet, but since you brought it up, let's talk about it here."
He paused and continued.
"To be precise, what I reached with the surface humans is not an agreement, but a tacit understanding."
"Tacit understanding?"
Like Charles, Tyrell also expressed doubts, including Sissi, who was confused by the word, and looked at him.
Put down the wine glass in his hand, Luo Yan said in a casual tone. "To put it simply, it is to allow uncontrolled war to proceed under a certain order..."
It is impossible to stop a war that has lasted for thousands of years. Not to mention that humans are unwilling, and demons cannot accept it.
However, in contrast, although both sides are unwilling to cease the war, they have suffered enough from the war, and they both realize that it is not good for anyone to continue fighting like this.
As a result, both sides have a need to reduce the intensity of the war, and this creates room for bargaining.
Luo Yan took about ten minutes to explain everything he had agreed with the future supreme commander of Leiming County.
After hearing about the concept of "Glorious War", Sissi's eyes immediately lit up and she said with a wicked smile.
"Isn't this great."
I didn't expect the Demon King to be so capable, actually corrupting the future high-ranking officials of the Trident Knights!
Even more than that!
Using the pass to coax adventurers into giving up their vows to defeat the Demon King, and then luring them step by step toward corruption... This is simply too evil!
Obviously Sissi didn't really understand what Luo Yan did, but there was nothing wrong with understanding it from her own point of view.
The bottom line is broken step by step.
Today the adventurer dares to say that he is not here to defeat the Demon King. Tomorrow he dares to go about his life openly, and the day after tomorrow he may work for the Demon King.
It is precisely for this reason that from a human standpoint, any compromise agreement with the devil is a kind of blasphemy.
This is indeed the case.
If it weren’t for the experience of fighting side by side, if it wasn’t for the betrayal of Knight Commander Mel who shook his faith... Charles, who graduated from the seminary, would never have agreed to these conditions.
It’s not just Sissi.
After listening to Luo Yan's narration, Tyrell's face also showed a look of surprise. Apparently he did not expect that this new Lord Demon King was so good at playing with people's hearts.
"When we needed them most, they did not appear in front of us, so now they have to bear the consequences of all this."
That voice without emotion made Tyrell and other night elves feel a faint chill in their hearts.
When they came to their senses, a bloodless sharp blade had already passed them by.
The sharp edge only barely touched their scalps.
In order to celebrate this hard-won victory, everyone tried their best...even if some people used their strength in a redundant direction.
The survivors of Mist Town generously provided food from their own homes and neighbors, the night elves of the Gray Wind tribe provided their treasured wine, and the little devils played a role similar to that of the court jester... taking over the fun and unnecessary pranks of the entire banquet.
As for the majority of players who played the role of skeleton soldiers, they wisely and consciously took out their mobile phones and ordered takeout.
Although some unwilling people tried to force it into their mouths, the end result was that it all spilled out through the ribs.
It is shameful to waste food.
They quickly received a warning from the system.
【Server Announcement: Players please cherish food! Don't waste it! If you are found to be abandoning food, you will be punished by deducting coins according to the market price! 】
Looking at the pop-up window that appeared in front of me, Hu Wan said with a depressed look.
"I can't even keep my mouth shut now."
Ichiba Zhiqiu, who was sitting next to him, smiled.
"Although I can't eat, it's good to feel the local customs."
Listening to the adventurer's chat, he learned a lot about this world.
Leiming County is located in the upper right corner of the Whirlpool Sea, which is just a corner of the human world. The entire Whirlpool Sea is like an enlarged version of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to the territories directly under the empire, there are also many large and small kingdoms, principalities and city-states scattered along the coast.
It is not just the realm of humans.
The dwarves, elves, ratmen, ogres, orcs, goblins, goblins, etc. in this world also have their own unique culture, and based on this, they have formed their own country or tribe.
In short, the world is bigger than he imagined.
It is much more than just a maze!
"What a waste of time," Hu Wan shook his head and moved his newly repaired bones, "I might as well go level up."
Looking at this guy who couldn't sit still, Yiye Zhiqiu couldn't help but tease him.
"You are too curly."
Suddenly, I glanced sideways at him.
“You are so embarrassed to say that!”
Others said it was okay if he rolled, but this king of rolls said he couldn't stand it.
This is the first time he has seen individual players being so aggressive!
Just next door to the two of them, the Longxingtianxia people were also sitting at a table.
Looking at the dazzling array of tributes but having no idea what to say, Long Xingbaili's face was filled with expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Damn it, I'm already starting to regret it! I should have changed jobs to become a lizardman with my boss!"
It's too uncomfortable to be able to only watch but not eat!
[Failed Eel] and [Failed Dirty Eel] were feasting on the table. When they heard Brother Baili complaining, they took the time to express condolences.
"It's okay, brother! We'll eat it for you!"
"That's right! Ouch! This barbecue is really good!"
"Jue Juezi!"
"Isn't it just one less meal... you can't eat what you want in reality?"
Long Xingbaili shook his head, looked at the sky and sighed.
"Can it be the same? There is dragon meat in reality?"
Long Xing Qianli was speechless.
"...It doesn't exist here either."
The joys and sorrows of the Lizardmen and the Skeleton Soldiers are not the same.
Just when Qianli and Baili were staring at the table full of tributes and unable to eat, Long Xingwanli was drinking and eating meat.
"Hahahaha! It's so good! It's so happy!"
In reality, if you eat more, you will be afraid of raising uric acid, but in the game, you can eat haese without any scruples. It's so exciting!
He dared to make a bet.
This realistic cooking system alone is enough to make this game popular all over the world!
Long Xingwanli drank tons of beer while drinking beer. The cross crack in his belly was still leaking water, and soon it was all over the floor.
Several skeleton soldiers nearby saw this and immediately clicked the report with jealousy.
"There is a food waster here!"
"Report! You must report it!"
The hero is most afraid of villains.
Looking at the shameless group of skeleton soldiers, Long Xingwanli suddenly panicked.
"What the hell?! How can I consider this a waste?! Damn, wait! I'm going to give him a head outside now!"
After saying that, he took off his equipment and threw it to his teammates, and rushed outside the town to look for monsters that were not picky eaters.
The [Little Devil Ayanami] floating in the sky suddenly had a whim.
"Wait a minute, if you keep dying, wouldn't you be able to keep eating?"
"Lele" on the side couldn't help but spit out.
"Are you crazy!"
Although the entire banquet was occupied by rice cookers, not all of the Demon King’s army were just ricers.
In addition to the players who are busy cooking and watching others cook, there are also some players who can do big things and have not stopped since the beginning of the banquet.
Him After diluting the gunpowder collected from the human soldiers according to the calculated ratio, the chemical pool was stuffed, and the gunpowder and the ground metal powder were poured into a cone-shaped paper tube to make a simple firecracker and inserted it in the tallest bell tower of the town.
With an order to light the fire, a green light rose from the bell tower into the sky, bursting into alternating red and green fireworks.
Looking at the sparks twinkling in the sky, everyone at the banquet showed surprised expressions, even the night elves sitting in the corner.
Like elves, they naturally like beautiful things...especially novel things that they have never seen before.
Sulli's mouth turned into a shape of O as she looked up at the sky and couldn't help but praise.
“So beautiful!”
It’s not just Shirley.
Sara, who was sitting not far away, was the same, looking at the sky with bright eyes, her furry cat ears swaying.
"Is it magic?" Tyrell muttered to himself, and then shook his head, "...it seems not."
Hand rested lazily on the back of his hand, Sissi, who was slightly drunk, stared at the fireworks in the sky, and her scarlet eyes couldn't help but feel a little fascinated.
"Lord Demon King, look at the sky... there are stars."
"Well, I saw it, but they were not stars, but fireworks."
Luo Yan probably guessed which player's idea it was, and he couldn't help but have a knowing smile on his face.
It seems that guy is of some use.
It’s not all bad work.
At the same time, under the bell tower, the triumphant brother Yi Yi was bathed in the cheers of a group of "little brothers".
Gou Shi: "Oh no! That's awesome, brother!"
Knowledge explosion: "6666!"
Gou Shi took a sip of the chemical pool, laughed, and said humbly without any humility.
"Low-key! Just a basic thing."
Not far from the skeletons, a lonely ghost was floating under the eaves, staring in disbelief at the fireworks blooming in the sky.
At first he thought it was magic.
However, as the sparks fell, he surprisingly discovered that he did not feel the power of magic at all!
Hum, how is this done?!"
Hunting to hear the unfamiliar voice coming from the chemical pool, you can guess what he is surprised about without translating the crystal.
Although people in this world can use gunpowder, their so-called ability to use it is as if someone taught them how to use it, so that most people only know how to use it and do not really control this power at all.
"This is called fireworks! Ignorant guy."
Hearing the sound of the crystal on the skull's neck, Miranda looked at the skeleton soldier in surprise and said in astonishment.
"Wait a minute - you can speak?"
Huffed the chemical pool and said with a proud smile.
"Hey, are you shocked?"
Miranda nodded with a subtle expression.
But in comparison, he was more concerned about another thing -
"That 'firework'... how does it make the flame change color? Can you tell me?"
Looking at the ghost with curiosity written on his face, he said with a breath full of the smell of the chemical pool.
"Have you ever heard of flame reaction?"
Miranda shook her head and looked at him excitedly.
"Want to hear the details!!"
The evening breeze was quiet and peaceful, and the banquet was gradually coming to an end.
Outside of the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, pairs of brass-colored pupils were hidden under the mist-covered forest, watching the noisy banquet scene cruelly.
There is not only greed in those bloodthirsty eyes.
There is still a hint of disbelief.
Human beings?
Demon King?
These guys actually celebrated together.
Looking at the lizard man zombie rushing towards the depths of the forest, the two green-skinned big guys looked at each other, and invariably saw a vigilant color in each other's pupils——
This bargain seems not that easy to pick up.
"Hunting canceled!"
"Go back and report to the king!"
