Ping Xi Wang stood still and looked at the crowd. His gaze landed on Allen. He didn't know where Allen came from, but when he saw Hoey and the experts who had arrived in the evening surrounding Allen, he knew that the silver-haired, red-eyed young man was not simple. With Ping Xi Wang's arrogance, he had no choice but to nod slightly to Allen to show his respect.
As the host, Hoey walked over and laughed, "This time, we have to help everyone from Coiling Dragon Country to ensure that Spear City will not be lost. Come, come, let's toast to His Highness. "
Originally, this sentence should have been "friends of Coiling Dragon Country", but Hoey used "everyone" instead. Obviously, the subtext was that you have contributed, but whether we are friends or not is another matter. Of course, there were only a few people present who could hear this subtle meaning.
Allen could naturally hear it. He smiled faintly, but he also gave Hoey enough face and raised his glass to Ping Xi Wang. When he fought Ping Xi Wang on the battlefield that day, he wore a Demon King's Battle Helmet and a mask, revealing only his eyes. It was very different from his current image, so it was no wonder that Ping Xi Wang couldn't recognize him. Of course, Allen wouldn't reveal it himself. Otherwise, just the fact that he had killed King Ji Wu would make the people of the Eastern Empire embarrassed.
When the others saw that Hoey and Allen had raised their glasses, they naturally had to raise their glasses even if they were a hundred thousand unwilling.
Ping Xi Wang took a sip expressionlessly and said, "I know that none of the people here welcome us." Originally, I didn't intend to participate. After all, there was nothing worth drinking and talking about between us. I know that we will join forces to defend against the enemy because we are forced to do so by the situation. It's just that I just received a message that I have to announce here. After that, we will leave immediately. "
This time, even Hoey was surprised and said, "Oh, I wonder what the news is?"
Ping Xi Wang walked to the middle of the venue and coughed dryly, "We just received news from the Great Victory King that we have decided to return to our homeland. Within two or three days, we will completely withdraw from your territory. "
His words were also extremely concise. After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Someone couldn't help but shout, "Stop, you can come and go as you please. What do you think our empire is? And our fallen soldiers, don't tell me you want to leave without giving us an explanation? "
"That's right. We should at least ask them to pay war reparations."
Several people shouted at the same time. Ping Xi Wang suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice, "Don't make a mistake, war reparations are the price that the defeated country must pay. Dare I ask, did we lose? If it wasn't for those monsters that appeared out of nowhere, perhaps our King of Great Victory would already be sitting in your barbarian's palace drinking wine! "
Instantly, a stone raised a thousand waves.
Ping Xi Wang's arrogant attitude angered the people in the venue, who shouted loudly. Several generals, seeing that the situation was not right, wanted to step forward to protect Ping Xi Wang. However, the prince of the Eastern Empire raised his hand, as if he was ready to block any incoming soldiers. Hoey reached out to stop everyone and said, "Everyone, please control your emotions. If they have already made such a decision, then I think they have already discussed it with His Majesty Julian. As long as there are no orders from the Imperial Capital, we can't stop them from leaving. "
Then he said to Ping Xi Wang, "I ask Wangye to go back early and rest."
Ping Xi Wang nodded his head and left the venue with the generals.
"How arrogant, Marquis. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"That's right, how can we let them off so easily?"
Looking at the emotional faces, Hoey smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to let them go just like that, but this matter is of great importance. I hope that everyone won't do anything too extreme so as not to affect the overall situation."
Since Hoey had already said so, the others couldn't say anything else. A good banquet ended unhappily just like that.
Allen didn't think much of it. After all, he wasn't from the Bailey Empire. Moreover, his horizons were no longer on the same level as these people. What he saw was a higher scenery. Just imagine, would a person standing at the top of a mountain be able to see what was happening at the foot of the mountain? He couldn't see it, and he didn't care. Right now, Allen was more concerned about where Archimedes had gone. Even Miro didn't know about this. After all, after becoming the Son of Dusk, his instincts would gradually replace Archimedes's will. There was only one thing he was sure of, and that was to push for dusk to descend.
It was late at night, and Lola and Lucy had already fallen asleep. Allen did not sleep. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He put on his thin clothes and got out of the window, flashing into the boundless night.
On a wasteland outside Spear City, Twilight stood in the middle of the field. She closed her eyes and suddenly opened them. She saw a figure beside her. Allen was already standing near her. Allen looked at her and said, "You're looking for me?"
Just now, Allen had sensed Twilight's aura, so he left the city overnight. Twilight nodded and said, "I'd like to ask Your Highness for guidance."
Allen shook his head. "It's sleeping time now, but forget it. I also want to show you something."
"What is it?"
"Look, this is what I got from Herthus's corpse. Do you know what it is?" Allen took out the crystal that had rolled out of Herthus's corpse. The crystal emitted a gentle glow in the darkness, illuminating Allen's face.
"It's a fire seed!" Twilight exclaimed.
"A fire seed?"
Twilight nodded and gave a brief explanation. "Herthus will be reborn in the flames after his death. After his rebirth, he'll only need to retrieve the fire seed and he'll become a monarch. But now that it's in Your Highness's hands, I'm afraid Herthus will only be a weak lifeform after his rebirth. "
"You mean this fire seed can grant great power to your monarch?"
Twilight nodded, "Even if it can't reach the level of the three giants, it won't be too far off, especially if it's used by a greater monarch."
Allen gave it some thought. "Then take it, it's useless to me anyway."
This was the truth. Herthus's fire seed contained great power, but it wasn't of much use to a sovereign like Allen. As for others who weren't monarchs, they couldn't absorb it either. That was why a greater monarch like Twilight was the most suitable candidate.
Twilight's eyes shot out a blazing light, but she soon shook her head, "Give it to Lord Mitinas. If the ancient abyssal flame absorbs this fire seed, it'll regain its former glory and become even stronger."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course." Twilight nodded.
Allen was pleased, "It's rare that you're willing to give it up. Very well, I'll give it to Mitinas."
