It always gets dark very early in the Demon Clan. Although it is summer, it is already dark at around five o'clock. The crimson moon hangs in the sky, casting a layer of red on the outside of Lucifer City.
There is gauze, but the streets of Lucifer City are as bright as day.
There are so many stalls on the street. Some NPCs and players who don't know what happened are still shopping happily. They just got a hundred gold coins from Qiao Nan. It's a time of wealth, so they can buy things without blinking an eye.
, looks quite generous.
It took an entire afternoon to reinstall the doors of the palace that had been dismantled.
They hold a banquet in the evening and don't need others to watch.
After the meeting ended at noon, before Qiao Nan had time to do anything, the maids who had been waiting for a long time came up with another set of simpler but extraordinarily gorgeous clothes and pulled Qiao Nan into the room, "In the evening.
You must dress up well for the banquet, so that you can attract the hearts of other noble ladies."
"That's not necessary..." Qiao Nan was pulled into the room by them very eloquently, and was supported by the maids to sit in front of the mirror, and asked the maids to sort out his clothes.
He has changed into three sets of clothes today, and this is the fourth set. Although they are getting more and more concise, they are all the same gorgeous, and in order to facilitate dancing, the pants of this outfit are actually tight.
Qiao Nan, who had solved Qiao Jiarui's big worry, was very easy to talk to. He didn't get angry when others asked him to change clothes. Instead, he was very obedient and did whatever he was told.
He is so well-behaved and obedient that it makes people wonder if this His Majesty is someone else's fake.
However, before putting on makeup, Qiao Nan went to the bathroom to take a shower to wash away the smell of food that she had picked up during lunch, and then came out and sat in front of the mirror again.
There are several maids missing in the room, and I don't know what they are doing.
A few maids who knew that Qiao Nan had become angry not long ago remained silent and followed obediently. From time to time, they reminded those maids who had exceeded the rules to pay attention to their distance and not to worry about His Majesty's current appearance.
If you want to talk easily, just push your nose and face.
And to win the favor of those noble ladies...
How could Lord Amos allow those noble ladies to approach His Majesty?
Even if Lord Amos is not here, His Highness Galadriel is still here. As long as one of the two of them is here, anyone who has designs on Your Majesty will never be allowed to approach Your Majesty.
"What are you doing standing there?" Qiao Nan recognized the maids who had been standing aside politely, and waved them over, "What? Are you afraid of me?"
"No such thing!"
"Then why are you standing so far away? I won't eat you."
The maids said nothing, but looked at Qiao Nan with the embarrassment almost overflowing from her eyes.
"Where are the others? Were they called away by someone?" Seeing that they did not want to say anything, Qiao Nan did not continue to press the question, but asked where the maids who left had gone. One of the female officers said: "Because everyone
The city lord and nobles are all in the palace, and they lack maids to serve them..."
So I transferred some of his waiters.
Qiao Nan was a little strange. He was the Demon King. Even if he was really short of people, he couldn't just call them away without notifying him.
Even Amos and the housekeeper don't have the authority to transfer people away without notifying them.
Not to mention those city lords and nobles, they didn't dare to offend me at all. Even if there were some strong individuals who wanted to pull me down, they wouldn't dare to shame themselves at this time.
The internal fights among the demon clan are their own business. They can fight behind closed doors, but outsiders cannot interfere, let alone make fun of them.
It is definitely impossible for the city lords. They are quite happy with themselves, and they will definitely bring their accustomed maids from their own city. It is impossible to be short of people, and with their characters, if they know that they are short of people,
, I will definitely send over the maids that I can use.
Then it can only be those nobles who are disobedient to discipline.
It wasn't that Qiao Nan was unwilling to borrow people, but the other party transferred the people without telling her, making Qiao Nan feel that she was not respected.
"Let's finish it first. We can wait until the end to talk about anything else, otherwise it will be too late." Qiao Nan deliberately wanted to beat these people, but there are only a few maids here. Even beating these maids is of no use. They can only wait until the banquet starts in the evening.
when.
The maids did not dare to say anything and speeded up their work. They ensured that Qiao Nan's clothes were arranged as quickly as possible without losing quality.
They also chose a perfume for Qiao Nan and sprayed it on, which would emit a faint fragrance with every movement of his hand. Both men and women would like this smell.
However, although these maids moved quickly, the things they had to prepare were still too complicated. By the time Qiao Nan got everything done, it was almost half past seven, and the dance officially started at eight o'clock.
People of my status do not need to go there in advance. They have to wait until the official opening to show their distinguished status.
Taking advantage of the quiet half hour, Qiao Nan called the housekeeper over.
The housekeeper was still busy with the banquet when he was suddenly called over by Qiao Nan, still a little confused.
"Who transferred the maid away from my place this afternoon?" Qiao Nan asked.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Qiao Nan's question, the housekeeper was even more confused than Qiao Nan.
He didn't even know that someone had transferred Qiao Nan's maid away. But the housekeeper also understood that whether this matter was big or small, it was not small at all. If Qiao Nan pursued it, he could use it as an excuse. He understood that Qiao Nan
The meaning of saying this is to slap those nobles who still do not obey me.
The city lords who directly obeyed Qiao Nan really had no objections to Qiao Nan. They had seen Qiao Nan with their own eyes and recognized Qiao Nan. Not to mention that the thirty city lords in front of him were all firm supporters of the Demon King. Even if there was a city lord.
If they are not convinced by Qiao Nan, they will definitely not dare to say anything.
But those nobles are different. These nobles are different from the city lord. If the city lord is the god of war who protects everyone and the entire demon clan, then these nobles can only be said to be the dregs of the demon clan.
With their so-called identity, they have always occupied most of the resources, and they even look down on ordinary demons because of their so-called bloodline.
They will indeed listen to the words of the city lord and the demon king, but that is only if it does not infringe on their interests.
The nobility is neither good nor bad. After Demon King Qiao Nan took over all the power of the demon clan two thousand years ago, he drastically reformed the entire aristocracy.
Two thousand years later, without Qiao Nan's iron-blooded methods, these nobles once again regained their strength.
Although Amos was in charge of Qiao Nan for a period of time, he did not do anything to these nobles.
He is a native NPC. To him, nobility is reasonable. Since it exists, there is no need to deny it. He has a relatively high tolerance for nobility. Moreover, he was not in good condition during that time. In addition to ensuring the integrity of the demon clan and ensuring the
Apart from his dominance of the clan, he doesn't care what these nobles are doing.
Fortunately, those nobles also knew not to go too far and did not touch Amos's bottom line, so the two sides were still in peace.
There was no huge conflict between the nobles and Amos and other managements because Amos turned a blind eye to the nobles' things that were not too excessive. As long as the nobles did not step over the line, Amos could treat them as nothing.
See,.
This also gave the nobles a lot of room for maneuver, and they did a lot of things behind Amos' back.
But now Amos has directly handed over the power.
They don't believe that Qiao Nan is the Demon King from two thousand years ago.
Rather than saying that he was resurrected after sleeping for two thousand years, it was better to say that Amos was a substitute that they got from who knows where in order to beat him up.
You don't need to think about it to know that Amos and Qiao Nan will definitely join forces to suppress them again, just in case, and also to let Amos and Qiao Nan know that they are no longer as easy to bully as before.
These nobles came to a gathering a few days before the coronation ceremony to discuss what to do next.
The strength of these nobles is also good. After all, all the good resources are piled on them. It is very troublesome to really cause trouble. This time they directly transferred the maids without others' permission, which is also their test.
They want to rely on such trivial matters to determine Qiao Nan's attitude towards them, to determine whether Qiao Nan is easy to bully now, whether he can get along well with them, or even let them control it.
As long as the Demon King is on their side, not even Amos can do anything.
"Do you want to..."
"I think this dinner is a good choice."
The butler understood and exited under Qiao Nan's sight, and it was almost time for the dinner to begin.
It was said to be a dinner party, but it was actually a large dance. Everyone who came to attend was dressed up, and it was even more grand than when attending the coronation ceremony during the day.
The most excited ones are of course the aristocratic ladies. These aristocratic ladies love to hunt for beauty at this kind of dance.
Those city lords who are young and strong but unmarried are their best targets.
Of course, they are also very curious about this devil. If they can get the devil's favor, then they can become phoenixes on the branches of the moon, becoming one person under ten thousand people.
In addition to Qiao Nan, there are also many young talents from other races.
The people who came to attend the dinner were all aristocratic children of various clans. If they could see each other in the eye, even if they could not stay in the Demon Clan, they could still get some benefits from each other. After rounding up, this dinner was definitely a profit for the Demon Clan.
Those noble ladies are not the only ones who hold this idea, there are also many young men who hold the same idea as these noble ladies.
Nowadays, most of the high-level powerful people on the mainland come from the nobility. Although there are not no powerful civilians, there is a natural gap between them and the nobility, and the resources they can obtain are very different. And these people are in
When attending a dinner party, I also have my own little thoughts.
If they can meet the right person and marry that noble lady, they can join the nobility and become the privileged class.
Before Qiao Nan arrived, the dinner party was already very lively. Almost everyone had their own thoughts, and few people came simply to have fun.
When Qiao Nan arrived, the dinner party quickly calmed down. Everyone looked at the door to see the trendy man walking on the red carpet in front of Qiao Nan, with the butler and maid behind him. It was rare that Amos didn't go to look for him.
Instead, he came to the scene and was talking to Poseidon Cyril in front.
I don't know who it was, but suddenly threw a flower.
The flower fell into Qiao Nan's arms. Qiao Nan subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the flower. Looking in the direction in which it was thrown, he easily found the lady who threw the flower in the crowd. This lady was tall.
She has a pair of small black horns, a head of golden seaweed-like long hair, and red eyes that are more crystal clear than the red moon in the sky.
She was wearing a gorgeous black and red dress, holding a feather fan in her hand. When Qiao Nan looked over, she smiled shyly and saluted Qiao Nan.
Seeing the girl, Qiao Nan had no choice but to smile politely back. However, after Qiao Nan returned the polite smile, many more flowers suddenly appeared, and those flowers were thrown towards her like a waterfall.
Qiao Nan Qiao Nan even found many precious jewelry inside, and he was even hit on the forehead by a blue gem brooch.
"Quiet!" Amos couldn't help but speak. His voice echoed in everyone's ears like an earthquake. Those girls with lower realms were shocked by the sound, but they also wondered why Amos
Suddenly so fierce.
But they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't know what they had done wrong. They just looked at Qiao Nan helplessly. Qiao Nan touched his forehead where the brooch had hit him, and returned all the flowers, gems and jewels to each of them.
The master used magic throughout the whole process without touching anything. There were obviously many people throwing things like him, but Qiao Nan was able to remember everyone.
He could see that Amos was jealous just now.
"It's better to leave the flowers to the person you like." Qiao Nan smiled, "There's no use throwing them all at me."
"It doesn't matter, even if you don't accept my flowers, I still like you!" I don't know who shouted out suddenly. The voice sounded like a girl, or the girl who threw the flowers at him at the beginning.
