No matter how busy it was outside, there was still no sound at all outside Amos' room. I don't know if it was a problem with the soundproof barrier, or because the servants nearby didn't dare to run this way.
Of course the servants didn't know what had just happened. They were not qualified to go to the high platform, and their level did not allow them to penetrate the barrier from a distance and see clearly what was happening on the field.
They were just surprised as to why there was a banquet in the palace on the night of the festival.
In the past, festival evenings would be to light a bonfire in the square outside and celebrate by having barbecue with everyone. At that time, even the high-ranking city lord and Lord Amos would join in.
Since that was the order from above, they should just follow it.
However, what surprised them was that the city lords didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and the atmosphere was a little off, as if a war was about to start. But the demons are very peaceful now, how could they start a war everywhere?
Under the blessing of this atmosphere, the servants walked much faster. They did not dare to express their anger, did not dare to speak, and did not dare to whisper and gossip in front of the adults. They only had a better relationship with the old housekeeper.
Several people got some information, but the old housekeeper was also vague and refused to say the specific reason.
After all, the old butler is a man of the same age as Amos. He has experienced all kinds of ups and downs and has a very big heart. It only took a short period of time to go from disbelief at the beginning to now accepting the facts very calmly.
time.
The most important thing is that he is not obsessed with the reason like others. He only knows that if Lord Amos identifies it, then it must be it.
The old steward is different from those city lords. He is a very staunch Amos party.
No matter what the other party does, he will support him unswervingly. Even if Amos points at Norman and tells him that he is the devil, he will believe it without hesitation.
During this time, the housekeeper kept brainwashing himself.
Facts have proved that his self-brainwashing effect is quite good. At least when he was ordered to pick up Qiao Nan, he had completely regarded him as a devil.
In his eyes, the Dragon Clan's Jocelyn is already the devil.
However, when he made a lot of mental preparations to accept Qiao Nan, he received the most violent blow from Qiao Nan.
Jocelyn turned out to be the same person as the Demon King in his memory!
The old butler was also one of the people who followed Qiao Nan to conquer the world, but compared to the same period, his strength was not very outstanding, and his skills were all focused on logistics.
So Qiao Nan asked him to work as a logistics officer in the rear of the army. Most of the people at the same time as the housekeeper died in the battle. Although he almost died in a sneak attack, he was the longest-lived person among his contemporaries. Even when Qiao Nan
resurrection.
He will obey Amos's orders and become a staunch Amos party, because for him, Qiao Nan is the real and irreplaceable king.
Amos is Qiao Nan's designated successor. As long as he is Qiao Nan's choice, the butler will support him without any objection.
In fact, the old butler also believed that Qiao Nan was dead, but he was much more rational than Amos, and he also understood that he had no way to resurrect the Demon King, so he did not take action like Amos.
He had seen Amos' actions over the years and was moved in his heart, but he also understood that if he were Amos, he would definitely not be able to persist to this day like him, and he would probably give up after a few attempts.
, but Amos didn’t.
He never stopped, no matter how many times he hit the wall, he would never look back. When the news came out a few days ago that Amos had fallen in love with someone else, the housekeeper's first reaction was that he didn't believe it, but then he thought
After thinking about it, I think this is actually quite good.
With someone else he likes, Amos doesn't have to dwell in hell alone. People always have to look forward. If he just dwells on the past, he will never be able to move forward.
The housekeeper has not seen the person who is said to be very similar to Qiao Nan, but he has seen the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince Qiaocelin.
There are so many people in this world, and it is normal to look like someone. The housekeeper has seen several people who look similar to His Majesty the Demon King over the years, so he is not too surprised when he comes and goes. But he
I didn't expect Lord Amos to think that His Highness Jocelyn was His Majesty Qiao Nan.
This is not in line with Amos's character, and there is something wrong with His Highness Jocelyn who was treated like this.
The housekeeper believed in Amos's character. He was not the kind of person who would play with other people's feelings, let alone treat them as a substitute.
During the time that Qiaocelin came here, he had actually been observing this young master. This young master's expression and behavior were completely different from His Majesty's. He felt like an innocent and very good prince who was protected by his father. And His Majesty Qiao Nan
Such a smile would never appear on his face. He would only silently shoulder all the burdens and provide a sky where everyone can breathe freely.
His Majesty's expression is usually melancholy and calm, but he will show a gentle smile when he sees a child, but he has never shown an innocent and unburdened smile like this child.
However, the person coming out of Lord Amos' room now is clearly His Majesty Qiao Nan!
He will never admit his mistake!
This aura, this face, this expression, and even the smell of power on his body are exactly the same as His Majesty Qiao Nan in my memory.!
"Your Majesty?!" The butler stood at the door, feeling like he couldn't speak clearly. He was very sure that this was Qiao Nan, not someone pretending to be someone, let alone pretending, but the one who truly led him to conquer the world.
That Demon King Qiao Nan.
"I've made you worry." Qiao Nan nodded to the housekeeper, "It must have been hard after so many years."
"It's not hard, of course it's not hard," the butler said in the negative. To say it wasn't hard would be a joke, but the butler didn't think it was that difficult.
This kind of surprise made the butler feel uncontrollably excited. When he took Qiao Nan away, he still felt his steps were erratic, as if he was in a dream. He looked back from time to time to make sure that Qiao Nan was indeed behind him, and he couldn't believe it was true.
Your Majesty is really back...
And Qiao Nan would give the butler a reassuring smile every time he turned around.
When he arrived at the banquet hall, the housekeeper suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a very important point.
Cyril has been standing beside them, and even made a protective gesture towards His Majesty, but he has been here all the time, and he has not spoken.
The butler wanted to ask why, but he knew his identity. It was best not to ask such questions. He only needed to make sure that His Majesty Qiao Nan was indeed back.
The banquet hall was extremely quiet at this time. Although there were many people sitting there, almost no one spoke.
Everyone put on new clothes, put on exquisite makeup, held plates with exquisitely prepared food in their hands, and gathered together in twos and threes, but no one spoke, only one or two whispers occasionally.
They seemed to be waiting for something, and couldn't help but look at the door of the banquet hall. However, they had been here for more than an hour, but they didn't see the person they wanted to wait for.
Of course, this is also because they came too early.
Some people are indeed opposed, but they don't want to be the first ones. They came here early to watch the excitement. The remaining people either remain neutral or are gearing up to take this opportunity to give Qiao Nan some color.
have a look.
As a result, the people from Qiao Nan didn't even arrive, let alone confront him and threaten him.
In this atmosphere, there is no need for Li Bai to speak. He came here just to make soy sauce. It is better for a foreigner to come to this kind of banquet without making a fuss and making a sense of presence. This is obviously a matter for the demon clan's own family.
, if an outsider like me knew about it, he would definitely not be able to do well.
Of course, he was not afraid. The demons letting him come just showed that there was actually no danger in this banquet.
It has to be said that the food in the Demon Clan's palace is quite good. The Orcs prefer meat such as barbecue, while the Demon Clan's meals are more refined, and the meat is cut into small pieces and presented in small pieces.
On the plate, it looks pleasing to the eye, but not very hungry.
The waiter kept taking the plates from his hands and replacing them with new ones. Since he came to the banquet, his hands and mouth have not stopped. People like them consume a lot every day and have to take in a lot of food.
of food to maintain energy.
Even though he was the only one eating so happily, everyone present had a lot of appetite, but they just had other things on their minds and couldn't take care of eating or drinking.
The other city lords were preoccupied, but Li Bai was the only one eating and drinking here. He was really jealous. Those city lords looked at him more than once, but it was a pity that Li Bai didn't react at all. He did whatever he wanted.
.
As the time for the banquet got closer and closer, the sound in the room finally became louder. The city lords, who were already impatient with waiting, looked at their pocket watches from time to time and kept looking at the door, hoping to be the first to see it.
people.
They knew that Amos had just gone out and would not be back for a while. They must seize the time to get rid of this man while Master Amos was not around.
Because it was a banquet that all the city lords were going to attend, Lilith was also let out. She was not in a good state at this time, but her eyes as she looked at the door were full of resentment.
After being warned and punished by Amos, Lilith restrained herself a lot, but still didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. She knew that she had done something wrong by embarrassing Amos in public, but she did it for Amos.
Lord Si!
"When he comes later, don't be impulsive and take care of yourself." Several city lords who were friends with him saw that Lilith was not in a good state, so they hurried over and said, "Today is different from other times, Lord Amos.
Obviously he values Jocelyn very much. If you take action against him, let alone the city lord, you will most likely be thrown into the abyss of hell by Lord Amos!"
"Am I not as good as a foreigner? His Majesty Amos will definitely stand by my side!" In Lilith's mouth, Amos has become the next king of the demons, and his title has also changed from Amos to Amos.
Lord Si became His Majesty Amos.
"...Why are you so stupid? Anyone with eyes can see Lord Amos's attitude towards Jocelyn. He will definitely favor him and protect him. Why don't you, Lord Amos?
If you attack him after you are tired of him, you will just waste your time and energy in vain, and you will easily be disliked by Lord Amos. Besides, he is just a substitute, and he will be disliked in a short time. By that time, you
Can’t we just take action now?”
It's not that he has a good relationship with Lilith, it's just that the city lord simply can't look past it. Lilith is obviously quite smart at other times, so why does she seem to have lost her mind when it comes to this aspect?
.
It would be better to stay away from her, otherwise it would be bad if she angers the adults again and gets implicated.
"That Lilith..." Baal, the first city lord, had seen Lilith very early. He whispered something to the second city lord beside him. The two looked at each other and said nothing.
Order seems to have returned to normal, but the city lord knows that what happens next will never be that simple.
It is unreasonable for them to attack people while Amos is not around. If Amos discovers it, they will most likely be punished along with them.
Even if Amos cares a lot about this person, he is just a plaything after all.
A toy should have a clear understanding of its own identity. Don't think that just because you look similar to its owner, you can climb a branch and become a phoenix.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the banquet hall. The sound of the footsteps was extremely light, like feathers falling on the ground and leaves blown away by the wind. If the people in the venue were not all powerful men, they would not even know that there was someone outside the door.
coming.
They were used to the footsteps of one of them, but they had never heard the footsteps of the other two. One of them had a slightly heavier footsteps and was probably not very strong. He should be the Dragon Prince.
As soon as they thought about how to intimidate the other party, the atmosphere in the banquet reached a fever pitch, and almost everyone put down what they were doing and looked at the door.
"The city lords all have strong opinions on you, so they may make things difficult for you, but you should be fine the way you are now."
The butler originally planned to help Jocelin, but now that Jocelin has become Qiao Nan, he has even more reasons to help. Now he wants to go to the banquet hall and tell everyone: You all get out of here, our Demon King has returned.
, it’s useless even if you object!
But this won't work.
After all, Qiao Nan is only around sixty levels now. How can he convince the public if he is over sixty? Even if he looks exactly the same as before, it can make some city lords who have always been loyal to him give up targeting him.
Among the seventy-two city lords of the demon clan, only the first thirty cities still maintain their original configuration. They are all the people who followed Qiao Nan to conquer the world. As for the following ones, they are basically all after Qiao Nan left.
The position was vacant and promoted.
The city lords at the lower end of the ranking are all young and energetic, and they like to show off their ferocity and fight fiercely. In the end, both sides are injured and die, making room for the next successor.
The main troublemakers are actually the people after the Forty City Lords. They are young and energetic, and their goal is the position of Demon King. They were competing well on their own, but suddenly someone appeared and took away their inevitable position.
How could they accept it?
Originally, their internal competition was their own business, and they could compete how they wanted. Now the problem has become that someone who doesn't know where they came from has taken away their things. The demons are a race that does whatever they want.
How could it be possible to bear this breath!
Their new city lords who were better at playing had already made plans before the banquet and planned how to make Qiao Nan look embarrassed.
As for the city lords at the top, although they didn't say anything, they didn't stop it either, because they had the same idea as those city lords, but they wanted to go deeper.
They know Amos much better than these newcomers, except for those who were led astray by Lilith at the beginning.
Afterwards, they calmed down and discussed Amos' abnormal behavior in the past few days. They found some inconsistencies in Amos's words and actions.
Would Amos really miss His Majesty Qiao Nan so much that he would find someone who is exactly like His Majesty as a substitute?
This actually makes no sense, because there have been humans who looked more than 90% like His Majesty Qiao Nan before. Lord Amos was still very excited at the time, thinking that this was the reincarnation of His Majesty Qiao Nan. However, after a few days of contact,
After that, Amos came back directly.
Even if the faces are similar, so what? It's not the person he's looking for.
But this dragon prince doesn't look much like Qiao Nan, and his behavior and temperament are completely different. Why does Amos think he is his majesty?
Could it be said that their Majesty was reincarnated into a dragon clan?
Even if this is indeed the case, there is still a problem that needs to be solved, and that is Cyril. As far as they know, Cyril has only one son. This son will also be the heir of the Dragon Clan and the future king of the Dragon Clan. How could the Dragon King put him
Give your only son to the demons?
He's not stupid.
It is impossible for Amos to regress, and it is even more impossible for Cyril to regress. The relationship between the demon clan and the dragon clan is pretty good. It would not look good if the two races started to fight because of this person.
The footsteps stopped outside the door. The people outside seemed to be talking, but the voice was so low that they couldn't hear clearly.
At this moment, in full view of everyone, the door was pushed open with a creak, revealing the person standing at the door.
