The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

Chapter 68: Night banquet

The encounter with a blonde beauty looks romantic, but it is only a small episode in life after all. Back at the residence, Lu Xi met Sehiriu who had been waiting for himself for a long time, while Primula continued to perform surveillance tasks. Compared to Sehiriu ’s weak magician physique, Primula, who is an excellent warrior, is better at doing this kind of lasting and dull work; on the other hand, she is soft and has a sense of existence. The two-dimensional anti-sky attribute suppressed to the lowest point is ideal for being a tracker.

"Is there anything suspicious today?" Lu Xi asked.

"Nothing at all, it's just a normal uninteresting uncle in any way. In addition, I secretly inquired at the embassy; it is said that the popularity of Barth is said to be very good; although he doesn't have much skill, he is very helpful and helpful. Many of them have been helped by him. Well, generally speaking, I do n’t quite believe that he is a spy. "

"Why? Because he is so popular, looks like a good person?"

"No, that's the problem. If he really has any problems, he should keep a low profile, but this guy is a very zealous old man, and it's too conspicuous."

"Maybe this is also a method of disguise."

"In addition, Lim and I have been monitoring him day and night for a full week. No matter how clever a spy, it is impossible to show nothing at all?"

"That's because you haven't seen the world," Lu Xi couldn't help but say, "I have seen spies who have been lurking for years or even more than ten years, and have loved to have children. For example, Yu Cheng and Jiang Ping Forget it, it does n’t matter if you have n’t heard it yet. But, you have to tell the clue ... he has to go to Nancheng ’s tavern every day, you know that; but he has to gamble in the tavern every day and he still loses Quite a lot, how could that amount not be borne by a small military attaché counselor. We can at least sue him for 'a huge amount of property of unknown origin' ... Is this a suspicious place? "

Sejiri stared at him, and once again looked at the class enemies, Lu Xi defied him fiercely, and he shook his head without hesitation: "Not at all. Or, if he spends less money, , I feel suspicious instead. "

"How do you say this?" Lu Xi couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at Sehiriu up and down, and seemed to want to investigate whether her mind had been caught by the door before.

"I have carefully checked Balth's resume, which is very ordinary, but it would be terrible to check the family relationship again." Sehiriu paused and said slowly, "The name of Balth's wife is Ingrid Patrick is one of the major shareholders of Apster. "

"Apster? The largest magic maker production company in the Federation?"

"Yes, that is the Upster! You have heard about it."

How could Lu Xi never heard of it? The amulet on his chest was produced by Apster.

"Hah, Mrs. Patrick, although I haven't heard of it, but as the majority shareholder of Apster, it should be at least a business woman, why would you marry a little-known diplomat?"

"I'm also very curious about this, but it is indeed true. Observing through Barth's bank account, his wife will deposit him 1,000 gold mira every month for his expenses."

"Woo, it is my ten-year salary!" Lu Xi stared at his eyes, unable to accept the fact.

"It's mine for fifteen years! Also, don't think that I don't know that you and Carol are doing things that are out of tune, and you have a face and cry in front of me even if you are a local tyrant!" After knocking down, he replied expressionlessly, "So it is not surprising that no matter how much he enters and exits in the casino. It does not constitute a reason to arrest him."

'S conversation with Sehiriu once again made the progress of the matter into a difficult position. When the two were relatively speechless, an invitation was sent to Lu Xi's residence.

This invitation was personally issued by the Imperial Palace of the Oakland. Emperor Guyus was going to feast the ambassadors of various countries in Oakland outside the city of Bailuli Palace. Of course, the heads of the ministries in the imperial capital, generals and large nobles above the count We will also participate.

"What does this mean? Birthday banquet? The emperor's 80-year-old birthday should be next week?" Lu Xi held the invitation, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, this should be regarded as a small-scale dinner before the official banquet, so the location is just in the palace outside the Bailu Mountains," Phils, who sent Lu Xi an invitation from the embassy, ​​answered, "The countries come The official envoys of Zhushou have not yet arrived, and the princes and lords in the field are still on the road. The emperor will not officially have a banquet in the Hall of Glory next week. That is the real coming of the nations, the prosperity of the world! "

"Well, it seems that you are still fascinated by this, er, 'Let's come from all nations, the prosperity of the world'." Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh, "That's not the case, you will go to this small party for me instead." 'Right?'

"That won't work. This time, our embassy only received a total of three invitations. Ambassador Boyle, Brigadier General Tina, and your Excellency, the others are not qualified. A small cabinet like the embassy, ​​like me, wants Going to the palace banquet, at least get the emperor's birthday. "

"I never thought of going to this Lauchzi dinner ... and, don't you think it's too suspicious? There should be many guys in the embassy who are higher than me? Why do the invitations come down to me who just took office? In the hands of an assistant military counselor?

"It must be because you are a model of young people in our country. It is the first time in a century that a young hero who can capture a lich. It is normal for Auckland's dignitaries to want to see and see."

"Oh? Do you know that? That's really disrespectful."

"After all, the embassy can also order domestic newspapers." Phils didn't seem to understand Lu Xi's irony, pursed his lips and smiled: "Furthermore, the other party has already passed the palace office to submit invitations, If you do n’t go, it ’s a big disorder in China in terms of diplomatic etiquette! ”

"Well, the other party doesn't know what Lucy Berencaster looks like, maybe he will think of a handsome, knowledgeable middle-aged beautiful man, just like you."

"Oh, you are really humorous. By the way, how tall are you? I need to prepare my dress as soon as possible."

So, in the afternoon of the next day, Lu Xi had to helplessly get on a luxury carriage and left the city of Cerokxia. After two hours, when the sun was about to set, Lu Xi looked through the car window and finally saw a large mountain covered with white dew maple forest and a blue stone road that split the forest in half.

In the middle of the woods and mountains, there is a small and peaceful lake. Around the lake, the royal family of Auckland built a palace on this flat ground, which is the so-called white dew palace. Compared with the grandeur and dignity of Yongchen Palace in order to declare its imperial prestige, Bailu Ligong pays more attention to habitability and artistry, its buildings and interior decoration are more elegant and beautiful, and noble but more revealing. Share tenderness.

For example, the marble statue on the Palace Square is based on the scene of the play of the brilliance goddess and the twelve little angels; the gentle and gentle smile of the goddess, UU reading www.uukanshu.com little angels are naive and mischievous , Brings people a warm and romantic human feelings.

Lu Xi was wearing a decent magnificent gown gown. When he strode into the banquet hall, he found that the ball had already begun. Expensive drinks and rich meals are placed on the tables on both sides of the hall. From time to time, waiters carry crystal glasses filled with red wine or cocktails in the vocal hall. The luxurious crystal lamp holder fell into the air, shining the entire hall like daylight, and the beautiful and soothing music floated in the hall, so that the body and mind were soothed. The magnificent and well-dressed high-ranking ladies and wives chatted in droves in groups, and from time to time, they used artificial gestures to give out artificial laughter, and some even danced on the dance floor as if butterflies were flying.

Such a gorgeous scene of singing and dancing, even in another world, Lu Xi has only seen it on the TV screen. However, when he was in this environment again, he always felt that everything around him seemed extremely illusory, lacking the realism of blood and flesh.

No one here knows. Even if it is gorgeous, Lu Xi will only feel bored and out of place.

He walked casually to a long table and began to add food to himself silently. The silver plate was quickly filled with various luxurious palace dishes. He took another crystal glass and filled himself with a full drink.

"Find a secluded place in the garden and eat it. Then you can go away." Lu Xi said to herself. No matter how thick his nerves are, it is not good to eat and drink in such a decent environment.

As he added the last piece of foie gras to the crystal plate, the voice of Ambassador Boyle was heard behind him.

"Belem Castellin, what are you doing?"
