The envoys of the parliament and the lobbyists of the major families were just in vain. When they arrived, Xue Hua had just jumped out of the window and escaped less than ten minutes ago.
King Wood VI and a group of Kingport nobles solemnly received the envoys from the Demon Fortress, but these lobbyists with missions obviously had no interest in the banquet in the palace.
The council envoy was the first to find Kane and asked him about Xue Hua's whereabouts - he knew that the wise man had always had a good relationship with the necromancer.
"I don't know either." Kane took a sip of snow gin and shook his head at the middle-aged man wearing a white messenger robe in front of him.
"Xue obviously didn't adapt to the enthusiasm of the girls. He left more than ten minutes before you arrived."
"Then do you know where to find him?" the middle-aged messenger asked helplessly.
"I am a mage, not a prophet, and I am not the roundworm in Xue's belly. Maybe he wants to go somewhere to relax?"
Kane put the empty wine glass back on the waiter's tray, then took two filled wine glasses and handed them to the messenger.
"What does the Council want from him? I heard that what happened on the Eternal Battlefield is related to him?"
The messenger took the glass and took a sip, then nodded slightly.
"Yes, according to the adults, the reversal of the battle situation in the Eternal Battlefield has a lot to do with Mr. Xue Hua."
"Ha! That kid can make big news wherever he goes..." Kane said with a smile.
"The angels of the Parliament and the higher heavens asked me to bring greetings to Mr. Xue Hua and asked me to deliver their gifts of thanks."
The messenger paused, and then continued: "They are all very valuable things. I hope to hand them over to Mr. Xue Hua personally."
"I understand. I will try to contact Xue, but I can't guarantee his answer."
Kane nodded, and then turned his gaze to the family lobbyists in the hall who were surrounded by the nobles of King's Harbor.
"These people who came with you...don't represent the parliament, do they?"
"Them?" The messenger smiled contemptuously.
"It's just a group of sharks that smell fishy..."
"Ah! I understand, but it seems they are destined to be disappointed."
"Oh? How is that possible? As far as I know, some of them offer very good prices."
"Xue's power does not lie in the strength of his personal force - or rather, it does not all lie in his personal force."
Kane shook his head and turned away from looking at the lobbyists in fine clothes.
"His very existence represents a powerful force."
"You mean...his summons?" The messenger blinked, somewhat confused.
No matter how powerful the summoned object is, it cannot be called a "force", right?
"In fact, yes, to be precise, Xue Hua's 'summons' are actually more like a strictly hierarchical social species. They are powerful in combat, well-ordered, and the commanders among them are quite intelligent and even have
The ability to develop independently... To be honest, I still can't figure out what skills Xue's summons are derived from."
Kane shook his head and said.
"Hmm... I've heard something." The messenger nodded.
"It seems that at least I won't be able to see Xue today?"
"Yes, at least he won't show up tonight."
"Are you sure that he will not join any of the families in the Demon Fortress?"
"Well...has anyone from the Dollavi family come?" Kane did not answer directly. Instead, he asked the envoy another seemingly unrelated question.
"Of course." The messenger turned his head and looked back, focusing on a gray-robed lobbyist with half a silver mask on his face.
"Then don't worry. Even if they can see Xue, Xue will never agree to their invitation."
Kane nodded and raised his cup to signal to the messenger.
"Okay, I understand. If that's the case, I guess I don't need to waste time here."
The messenger took out a small golden box from the inventory and handed it to Kane.
"Please pass this thing to Mr. Xue Hua. It contains the thank-you gifts from the parliament and the two archangels."
"I won't disturb you any more. I wish you a pleasant dinner." The messenger nodded towards Kane, drank the wine in the glass, put the glass back on the table next to him, and bowed to Kane again.
He bowed and then walked out of the main entrance of the banquet hall without looking back.
"Haha... He really has the demeanor of a parliamentary messenger..."
"But it seems that the adults in the council have begun to be wary of the top families in the Demon Fortress..."
Kane looked at the messenger's unobtrusive movements with some confusion. He sighed softly, shook his head with a wry smile, shook the weight of the box in his hand, and then put it back into the storage bag on his waist.
Parliamentary messengers have always been crisp and clean in their actions. Their style certainly has elements of the Parliament's wealth and wealth, but more of it expresses a non-interference in the choices of others.
Unless you want to rebel against humanity and become an Evil Contractor, the council will generally not care about what you want to do.
Their messengers generally only convey orders and objects, and never act as lobbyists.
Even if I occasionally need to make a deal with someone, I will directly offer a price that is very difficult to refuse, and then simply and decisively complete the transaction.
Therefore, the envoy just now is different from the "sharks" still wandering in the hall now. Their pattern is larger. As long as Xue Hua does not betray humanity, he will always be regarded by the parliament as one of his own.
"Farah, let's go first..." Kane turned his head and looked at the old mage who was tasting the fine ice-mellow fruit pulp collected by the Wood family.
"Why?" Farah looked up from the cup in confusion.
"Because if I don't leave..." Kane looked at the lobbyists who had begun to notice him: "If I don't leave if I wait a moment, we won't be able to leave!"
"That makes sense... let's go, let's go!" Farah followed Kane's eyes and found that some lobbyists had begun to gather around them. He hated having to deal with these glib guys the most in his life.
The two old men immediately put down their wine glasses and rushed out of the main entrance of the banquet hall, turning a deaf ear to the lobbyists who tried to stop them.
After they left, Sosia quickly slipped away, leaving only the last person who met Xue Hua in the banquet hall.
Amazon Storm Queen - Sarah Stringer.
However, facing the legendary Amazon's cold face and polar ice-like gaze, no lobbyist could finish a sentence completely before being frozen.
After several attempts, all the lobbyists shook their heads and gave up. At the same time, they began to leave the banquet hall and prepared to find a hotel to stay.
After all, Xue Hua will always come back, and they definitely have the patience to wait until the day he returns to King's Harbor.
Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that the wait would take a full two months... (To be continued)
