After a while, a bottle of red wine was brought. Exquisite red wine bottles are rare in Qingpu. There must be a glass workshop here. It is not difficult to make glass, but no one in Qingpu does it.
The crystal clear ruby-like liquid was poured into the goblet. Less than half the glass was filled. The waiter placed the three glasses of wine on the tray and the host, Lord Boltz, handed them to the other three.
Sipping the red wine, it was sour, rich in fruity aroma, and a little refreshing. Based on the principle of listening more and talking less, Nan Wukong mingled among the three lords for two hours until the banquet officially started.
Following Boltz's words, his daughter appeared. She was a short and chubby woman with freckles on her face. She was said to be eighteen years old, but she looked like she was nine years and ten months old.
Guy.
Like father, like daughter! Fat!
There were applause and congratulations, and Boltz continued: "My daughter has recently become a magic apprentice. I will also send my daughter to the National Law School."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, "Becoming a magic apprentice at the age of eighteen is a genius"... I don't know if it is true or not, it is probably just a compliment. After all, he is only eighteen years old according to his physical age, and he is already a magician.
The apprentice is at level 5.
"My little daughter has reached the age of marriage. As a father, I want to choose a good son-in-law, and this candidate who I am satisfied with is in this venue..." Boltz said with a smile.
"Who is worthy of Miss Pominoa?"
"The worst he can be is the son of a certain marquis."
"I think the earl is about right."
…
"That person is Nan Wukong, the new lord of Qingpu in the eastern territory of Zhuogenan!"
Nan Wukong spit out the red wine he just drank with a "pop" and looked at Boltz in shock.
You said it would be okay if you brought a prettier girl home for training. Wouldn't it scare you to pee if you go to the toilet at night with such an ugly girl?
"Uh... I'm sorry, please forgive me for refusing." Nan Wukong hesitated but refused, even though this was the other party's territory...
Boltz was not angry, and even opened his narrow eyes.
"My dear nephew, why do you refuse? Is it possible that we are already engaged?"
"That...I already have someone I like."
Who would feel better if someone loses face in front of so many people? Nan Wukong could only find other words to say.
"Not just someone's daughter?"
Nan Wukong was stunned for a moment and responded: "The daughter of a certain high-ranking official." This is indeed the case. It's really obvious that his father is a high-ranking official!
Nan Wukong's face remained unchanged, he was indeed telling the truth, but it was just the truth from other worlds.
This time it was Boltz's turn to be stunned, stroking his beard, and said: "In this case, I will not take away the love of others. It is no wonder that such an outstanding nephew would be favored by the ministers of the royal capital."
The other two lords were also in a daze, looking thoughtful.
The waiters all dispatched to bring the dishes to the table one by one. After the storm passed, Nan Wukong and Boltz sat down again, as if nothing had happened just now.
It's just that Nan Wukong didn't notice Boltz's secret gesture to Senhenhainer, and just kept eating.
After all, he hadn't eaten anything in the past two hours and just drank, so he was slightly tipsy.
A bottle of red wine had been finished, and Boltz asked the waiter to bring a second bottle of wine and a new goblet.
This time, Boltz poured the wine himself. A bottle of white wine had just been opened and only half a bottle was left.
“Let’s drink to the higher development of our territory.”
As Boltz stood up to congratulate, Nan Wukong and the other two lords also stood up, ready to drink the cup together.
However, just as Nan Wukong put his mouth on the wine glass, the system suddenly prompted: "Ding! Hallucinogenic drugs detected!"
Nan Wukong frowned, holding the cup and looking straight at the liquid inside. He turned to look at the other lords, and saw that they didn't drink but looked at him.
In a daze, Nan Wukong understood what "he was relieved" and "for better development of the territory" meant, and Lord Winkoche relied on himself with that look in his eyes, clearly looking at a bird waiting to be slaughtered.
Fat sheep.
"What's the matter? Uncles, do you think wine doesn't suit your appetite?" Nan Wukong said with a smile.
It turns out that this was originally a "Hongmen Banquet"!
If she agreed to marry this old fat boy to her daughter, she would probably let her daughter find an opportunity to kill him and arrange for her to die of illness. If she didn't marry him, she would use some means at the banquet...
"You discovered it." Senhenhainer smiled ferociously, and Boltz glanced at him as if he was mentally retarded.
"My dear nephew, although this land in Qingpu is not rich, it is still quite a large territory. If you are willing to give up the territory, you can still become a wealthy man."
"Will I give you my territory equally?" Nan Wukong had a cold face, his glasses reflected in the light, and you couldn't see the look in his eyes at this time.
"What are you talking about?" Senhenhainer was impatient and wanted to steal immediately. Boltz also wanted to take action, but Ledio was the only one who was unmoved and stood there not knowing what to think.
Angry in his chest, Nan Wukong forced himself to calm down. The moment Senhenhainer pulled out the long sword from nowhere, Nan Wukong overturned the table and retreated.
"It is recommended to retreat and not be hostile! You can enable time travel if necessary." However, it was too late when the system spoke. Senhenhainer split the table with his sword and rushed towards him like a tiger.
Nan Wukong activated the Thunder Armor Technique, and the powerful electric current formed a barrier to block the attack.
"Instant defensive magic! Thunder type! At this level, he is already at the fifth level of magic apprentice!" Boltz smiled sinisterly, and his narrowed eyes showed a vicious look.
"Ice Arrow!"
Boltz instantly fired a blue ice crystal arrow, and in desperation, Nan Wukong released a trail of flames to surround himself as a defensive circle.
"There is also fire element!" Boltz exclaimed.
Dual-line magicians are much more powerful than single-line magicians. Although they are not as proficient in one line as single-line magicians, in terms of magic reserves, single-line magicians are not half as good as dual-line magicians in the early stage.
"Path of Fire, you have learned your grandfather's magic, but it seems that you still don't know the tricks that made him famous!" Water droplets floated around Boltz. It was the wine that he controlled. He wanted to use the help of his outsiders.
Elements release intermediate magic!
Just as Boltz was preparing, Senheninar rushed into the path of flames and struck Nan Wukong with a sword, giving Nan Wukong no chance to breathe!
Moreover, there is another person who has not moved at all. If all three parties move together, he will definitely die! (To be continued)
