Broad World

In order to show the importance she attaches to the two of them, Alison Queen of the Elf took out the highest-standard greeting method, the band, the guard of honor, the flowers produced by spells, and a large number of cheering people mobilized almost everyone to create an atmosphere, even She herself led all the ruling class to stand at the gate of the palace to pay their respects.

Seeing such a big battle, Henry couldn't help but sigh that the other party is really calculating and knows how to use human vanity to achieve his goal.

Looking at the excited expression on Apodel's face, one can tell that he must be very satisfied in his heart at the moment. After all, not everyone can resist the temptation of becoming a hero. I believe that this guy may have forgotten about the reward and is completely intoxicated by the grand event. During the welcome ceremony.

Of course, this kind of strategy is only useful for those who are relatively eager for fame. A pure pragmatist like Henry doesn't even feel the slightest bit, and even finds it tiresome. It's just that he concealed his true thoughts very well, always had a charming smile on his face, and waved to the cheering elves and civilians on both sides, every movement was perfect and impeccable.

When she came to the steps in front of the palace, Alison gently pulled up her long skirt, walked gracefully, and bowed in front of the two: "Welcome to your safe return, heroes of Sodenisla, it is you who defeated the exile." who saved the city and innocent people from him, allow me to express my gratitude on behalf of all the elves, and hope you are satisfied with this humble welcome."

"You are so polite, Your Majesty, if such a grand welcome ceremony is still called crude, then most of the court ceremonial officials in the kingdom will commit suicide in shame." Henry grabbed the other party's hand and gently Kissed the fingertips. His polite answers and decent movements instantly won the approval of most elves and nobles, who all smiled and nodded.

In contrast, Apodell's actions seemed a bit rude and clumsy, and he almost made a joke when he kissed his hand. If it wasn't for the elf queen's rich experience in this area to cover it up for him, it is estimated that he will inevitably make a fool of himself.

After greeting each other, Alison blessed herself with a "phantom sound technique", raised her hands to signal the cheering crowd to stop, and then said in a rather excited tone: "The people who survived the exile's revenge Ladies and gentlemen, I am your Queen, Alison. Here today, I introduce to you two heroes who saved this city and the Tree of Life."

Speaking of this, she stopped and raised her arms to point to her side: "First of all, this is the human king from the north. A powerful legendary spellcaster—Henry Angomey. It is because he brought precious reinforcements that we Only so many compatriots survived. The other is the heir of the legendary God of Slaughter who stayed in the mortal world, a god who really walks in the mortal world——Apodel. He successfully foiled the exile's plot... ..."

Staring at the elf queen who was giving a speech in front, Henry lowered his voice and asked Apodel: "How is it, how does it feel to be regarded as a hero?"

"It's not bad, but it feels like something is wrong, but I can't tell." Apodel replied in a low voice.

Since becoming a demigod, his perception ability has been greatly improved, and he can even peek into the hearts of those who are not firm-willed, so he instinctively feels that some people here are not sincere. but for a purpose.

"It seems that you are indeed starting to adapt to who you are. Remember, don't be blinded by boring flattery, as a demigod. You have to learn to distinguish which are true and which are false." said An arc was drawn at the corner of Henry's mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.

Apodell glanced thoughtfully at the elf nobles with different expressions behind him, and then at Alison in front, the original excitement in his eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by calmness and composure. He obviously understood that this grand welcome ceremony was just a superficial effort. In fact, the elf rulers didn't have much respect and gratitude in their hearts.

The queen didn't know that her arrangement had been seen through, and still praised the achievements of the two men loudly: "There is no gift in the world that can express our gratitude to the heroes. Therefore, let us offer the eternal friendship of the elves and the sacred objects of the Temple of Rillifane "The Talisman of the Shidarin. Your deeds will be told throughout the land with the songs of the bards."

As she spoke, she took off the emerald green amulet she was wearing around her neck, put it on for Apodel herself, and kissed his cheek.

The play lasted for more than ten minutes. It didn't end until Jasila and the others and the paladins from the Knights of the Fierce Heart arrived. In the end, Alixing kindly invited everyone to enter the palace together and got ready Big banquet.

More than a hundred kinds of food are placed on the huge long table, countless fine wines brewed from plant fruits are available for guests to take at will, and the bard holding a harp sings a relaxed and pleasant tune in a low voice. There are quite a few guys with romantic personalities who even danced to the music. It's hard to imagine that the city has just experienced a catastrophe just based on this scene. More than 70% of the residents died directly or indirectly from the cruel magic war.

But Henry knew that it didn't matter whether it was Faerun Continent or Earth. In almost all countries, the upper and lower classes are two worlds, even if ordinary civilians are suffering from hunger and poverty. As the upper ruling class, you can live an extremely luxurious life, and this has not changed even in the 21st century.

After all, the nature of human beings is so ugly. Except for a very small number of martyrs with firm beliefs, most of them are difficult to resist degeneration and corruption. Even Tyre, the god of justice, cannot find a good solution to this. It can be relied on that the so-called "Infinite Law" can bring enough shock to officials.

Of course, Suodanisla, the capital of elves, is completely different from human society. At least the elves are protected by the tree of life and will never be short of food, because the fruits produced by the huge oak tree are enough to fill everyone's stomach.

In addition, they still have powerful magic power, so the surviving residents do not have to worry about being attacked by other dangerous creatures in the forest at this most vulnerable time, so the upper rulers have not changed at all, and still maintain an elegant and luxurious style. style of life.

"Hey! Head, you don't seem to have eaten anything since the banquet. Don't these sharp-eared dishes suit your taste?" The half-orc Vaughn came over with a plate of venison and interrupted Henry's thinking.

"No, the food is very good. But I have a little problem with my body, and I can't touch anything for the time being." Henry said with a trace of helplessness on his face.

Obviously, if he could, he would really like to try the dishes carefully prepared by the elf chef, but it is a pity that even a drop of water will get stuck in his throat in an instant, because all the digestive organs have stopped wriggling now , what you eat cannot be digested and can only be hoarded in the body like garbage.

As soon as Vaughn heard that there was something wrong with his health, he immediately asked with concern: "What. Are you injured? Then you have to find a priest to take a look! Oh...Damn... I almost forgot, you are a legendary Druid yourself Rui."

"This situation cannot be solved by ordinary divine arts. Don't worry, I have already thought of some methods, and I will take my time when I go back. In addition, I seem to have heard that you have had some troubles with the palace guards of the elves recently. ?” Henry asked with a smile.

He just heard the queen mention the recklessness of the barbarians, but when he heard that his subordinates overthrew the entire elf guard with only a few people, he was still a little happy. At least it proved that these fighters who have experienced several battles We all grew up.

"Aha! That's right, I gave those disrespectful idiots a hard time, so they don't have to look down on them all day. It didn't get you into any trouble, did it?" Vaughan asked. While turning back, he glanced at the captain of the guard who still had two bruises on his face.

Henry smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that Her Majesty Alison complained to me, saying that you bullied those poor elf warriors badly."

"Hahahahaha! Head. May I take this as a compliment?" Vaughn asked with a laugh. His rough face was full of the pleasure of revenge, especially the two exposed fangs, which looked a bit ferocious.

"Well, you can take it as a compliment. Well done, it will help the elves better understand reality." After speaking, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, showing a playful smile.

He knew very well that elves and orcs had always been at odds. As a half-orc, Vaughan probably suffered some kind of implicit discrimination, and it was very likely that he said some insulting words in language. This triggered the fight, but he didn't expect that the most unbearable thing in the barbarian tradition is insult, so he suffered a big loss instead.

"Master, do you want to form an alliance with these elves?" Amy, who was dressed in a white mage robe, appeared next to her at some point, with a glass of fruit wine in her hand, and Ares, who had always maintained the size of an ordinary brown bear, was beside her.

Henry patted the furry head of his animal partner and nodded slightly: "Yes. Although the city has suffered heavy losses, it is still the most powerful force in the Wildas Forest. If we want to gain a foothold in the peninsula We must rely on their strength. But before that, these proud guys must be made aware of the current situation, and I must occupy an absolute dominant position in this covenant."

"I understand. You want the elves to keep Waylon safe and prevent the Kingdom of Tethyr from making plans for it." Amy said suddenly.

"This is just one aspect. I will ask your brother to take a look at the matter of Tethyr. I believe that the dukes will be happy to cooperate with us after seeing some evidence. The most important thing is that in this forest monsters, trolls, goblins, orcs, ogres, etc. They are the ones that need to be guarded against the most. In addition, why hasn’t Ares changed back after so long? Is there something wrong?” Henry frowned asked with a frown.

He forcefully opened the animal companion's mouth to see if the mouth was healthy, but this action aroused the big guy's dissatisfaction.

It quickly broke free from the shackles, ran to the dining table, picked up a roast goose, ran to the corner, and gnawed on it. Its silly appearance immediately aroused good-natured laughter from the surrounding guests, even the elf, who has always been strict with etiquette. No exception.

After all, you can't ask too much from a bear, even if its intelligence is not much worse than that of an adult.
