The red-haired legend was the first to break the silence, looking strangely at Anthony who was obviously in a bad state in the light screen, and looked back at Keynes strangely:
"Keynes, you guy, can you always only tell half the story?"
"Why on earth is your grandson-in-law willing to become like this? You have to give me an explanation, right?"
Anthony looked confused, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was swaying as he walked, looking more like an undead than a living person.
To know.
This is not an ordinary person who took drugs or had a hangover, this is a serious awakened person.
Moreover, he is a fourth-level arcane knight with outstanding strength and well-equipped equipment.
Arcane Knights have certain spell-casting abilities and above-average melee combat abilities.
To put it simply, this is the kind of perverted being who can wear plate armor and cast spells.
In addition, an important factor affecting the Arcane Knight is equipment.
For those who can skillfully use a variety of equipment, the more preparations they make, the stronger they will be.
As the heir of a large family, the red-haired legend did not believe that Anthony was not wearing the corresponding equipment and props.
What a liar!
You nobles all have dark hearts. I believe you might as well believe sows can climb trees!
And even Anthony, who was fully armed to this extent, did not escape. There is no reason why others could not be affected.
Very weird!
"I think other people seem to have this problem too."
The old noble looked around incomprehensibly, and Keynes had a panoramic view of every legend's reaction.
Although Keynes's palms are old, they are well-maintained, and the gold coins flip over the slender knuckles with distinct joints.
Playing with the gold coins, he explained softly:
"Before I really tell you the truth, I want to tell you a story."
"Everyone, please look over there."
He pointed to the other side of the table, and the legends followed his fingers and saw the super gorgeous cake that had just been served not long ago.
The huge cake, which is half a person tall, is covered with all kinds of rare fruits and precious ingredients, and is even covered with a layer of edible rare magic materials.
And hanging on the top of the cake, there is a huge sun disk made entirely of white chocolate, which is dripping melted liquid little by little, making the cake even more attractive.
It is so luxurious that it feels unnecessary, and the full use of materials and weight reflect the arrogance of the nobility. Just looking at it makes people feel a bit oppressive.
Keynes got up and walked slowly to the cake with a cane. After taking a slight breath, he picked up the cake knife on the side and made a gesture on the top.
"It's not difficult for all of us to finish the cake now. As long as everyone gets a share, it can be solved easily."
"It's not a problem even if there's still leftovers after everyone is full. As distinguished guests, you don't care about this."
The old nobleman slowly straightened up, looked at the legend with different expressions in front of him, and said softly:
"But what if I have to finish it?"
Um?
Suddenly feeling energetic, the red-haired legend touched his stomach, looked at the cake, and blinked.
That's it?
Is it difficult?
I can finish it all by myself!
let me……
Just as the red-haired legend was about to say this, he was grabbed by his friend beside him.
【Shut up, don't talk!】
The blue-eyed legend glared at him, and if it weren't for the crowd, he would have wanted Bang Bang to punch him twice.
You can shut up!
Please don't be embarrassed.
If you keep doing this, I will never appear with you again.
It's so embarrassing...
I don’t know if you noticed the little episode over there, but Keynes gestured lightly with the cake knife in his hand.
"Imagine this way, there is such a magical banquet. As long as the host of the banquet is satisfied, a wish may come true."
After a pause, Keynes emphasized:
"Any wish."
"And those who were invited are a group of guests with different purposes, all trying to gain the favor of the banquet host through various means."
"And the host of the banquet is actually very easy to treat. He has some well-known quirks."
"Any leftover food will be considered disrespectful and the wrath will be directed at everyone in attendance."
"On the other hand, as long as all the food is eaten, it will satisfy him greatly."
Turning his head slightly, the sword holder, who maintained the same posture like a stone statue, turned his attention to Keynes, who was slowly telling a story, and seemed to have understood what the other person meant.
hehe.
"And now that the method is clear, all that's left is to work hard."
"Then those who ask for him will definitely try to finish the food, no matter what means they use, whether they like it or not."
The speed of the gold coins is getting faster and faster, and it can even pull out afterimages in Keynes's hands!
"And during this process, people kept quitting the game for various reasons. They did not achieve their original goals."
"They failed and gave their share to others."
"The total amount of food remains the same. The host of the banquet does not mind who eats how much. As long as they are all eaten in the end, it will be a perfect ending."
"As long as there is still a little space in their stomachs, they will forcefully swallow it. Even if it causes them great pain, none of them will give up for the final reward."
"The originally delicious food will become painful after eating it in this way, but the host of the banquet doesn't care."
With a joking expression on his lips, the old man sighed:
"He never cared."
hehe.
"He would silently watch everything happen, and would even gently applaud from the sidelines, approving their actions."
"And in the end, if they really achieved what they wanted, he didn't mind handing out some of their modest demands."
"And if you fail, you will be punished... although the process of eating itself is punishment."
Obviously he was just telling a story, but the atmosphere on the deck felt a little chilly.
It's just a metaphor, but Keynes's words convey a sense of reality and cruelty.
The tragic situation behind this seems to have appeared vividly before their eyes.
The initiator of all this, the old man of Jia Silin's family, returned to his usual appearance, nodded calmly and gracefully and looked towards the light curtain.
"This is the situation now,"
"The entire Land of Stars is shrouded in a huge field, and every contestant is a guest who comes to participate."
"And the impact they receive is the price they have to bear for this feast."
The red-haired legend gradually frowned. He really didn't expect that the truth would be like this.
Sitting in the edge corner, Grand Duke Hanci, who had been silent for a long time, said calmly:
"In other words, because the number of people is reduced now, everyone will naturally get more."
"But why are the powerful people unable to bear it? Are there any hidden rules in this?"
Logically speaking, even if the score is average, it should be that the weaker contestants cannot withstand it.
"Grand Duke Hanthorn, this is not a hidden rule, it is just a rule set by the host of the banquet. He believes that powerful people will naturally assume more responsibilities...whether they are willing or not."
With his brows furrowed, Han Ci finally stopped asking questions and began to think to himself in silence.
"The contestants will eventually figure out the problem, and that's when they'll have to make a choice."
"There is only one [Star Chaser], and they must eliminate others to win."
"But at the same time, the fewer contestants there are, the fewer people will share the burden, and the greater the pressure."
It's like a paradox.
The prerequisite for victory is that enough people share the impact, but there is only one winner in the end.
how to choose?
"How they will make a decision at that time will become the biggest attraction."
"The biggest highlight of our "Star Chaser Competition" is to observe their true reactions without knowing anything."
His mood became extremely high. The old man grabbed the gold coin with a snap and raised his arms:
"Everyone! Please look forward to that moment!"
Behind him, the number of light curtains is still decreasing, and contestants are facing choices at every moment.
Soon, as if nothing had happened, Keynes quickly regained his previous calmness, bowed and saluted gently to the legends.
"Please come and eat the cake first."
Smiling gracefully, Keynes added unambiguously:
"Please rest assured that you are all distinguished guests. It doesn't matter if there are any leftovers."
"Please take the amount you want to taste by yourself."
The red-haired legend, who didn't step forward immediately, intuitively realized that something was wrong, thought about it for a while.
Hmm hmm... forget it, I can't think of it.
In the end, I chose to give up and choose the fastest way to get the answer.
He lightly scolded the friend next to him and asked in a low voice:
"Hey, what do you think?"
But this time, the blue-eyed legend did not respond to his friend. He frowned, thinking of a somewhat unrealistic possibility.
