Minister Dias was invited to attend Count Kirrlutz's ball.
Instead of calling the Iron Nation's gathering a 'ball', it would be better to change the 'dance' from 'dance' to 'battle'.
The location of this gathering was a noble's arena located in Fort Ossen.
The structure of this building was very special, a bit like a theater, but the first floor was built into a circular arena.
On the upper floor of the arena was a circular gathering hall.
Minister Dias leaned against the wooden railing at the edge of the second floor hall and looked down at the arena.
He quickly found the figures of four heavily armored knights.
The armors worn by these knights were completely different from ordinary knight armors.
There was no beauty to speak of in the armor at all, it was like a poor quality product pieced together from all kinds of pitch-black iron pieces, and the surface of the iron pieces could faintly see the magic inscriptions engraved on it.
There were also all kinds of dangerous weapons hidden in these armors, including the weapons that the knights held were 'magic machines' that had been modified by alchemy engineers.
This was the popular arena in the Iron Nation!
Minister Dias could not call this barbaric competition a 'show'.
"Dias! Ever since you ran away with your tail between your legs, I thought you wouldn't come back. "
Just as Minister Dias was deep in thought, Count Kirrlutz enthusiastically came to Minister Dias' side and patted him on the shoulder.
Although the Earl's attitude was very warm, the words he said sounded exceptionally harsh to the ear.
Minister Dias and this Count were good friends many years ago, so he understood that the way he spoke was just that … … straightforward.
"This time I received orders from His Majesty, that's why I came to visit the Iron Nation." Minister Dias said.
"King's orders? Your king finally wants to import our country's magic machine technology? "
Count Kirrlutz's mood became even more excited at this moment.
"This … …"
Before Minister Dias could deny it, Count Kirrlutz stretched out his hand and pointed at the four knights who were preparing in the arena below.
"Right now, all the alchemy workshops in our country have begun to research the magic powered knight armor. That is the prototype product made by the 'Rusco Alchemy Workshop', Dragon's Breath! Its palms are engraved with magical inscriptions that can cast the Flame Tongue Spell, and it can be released by the magic stored in the crystal on its back … "Count Kirrlutz began to introduce the sinister-looking knight's armor below.
Although the Earl described it vividly, as if wearing these four sets of knight armor would be able to easily kill a dragon, the Earl's eyes were filled with disbelief.
If it was a merchant who didn't know much about magic machines, it was very likely that he would be moved by Count Kirrlutz's words and be prepared to pay for it.
However, Minister Dias strangely wanted to sleep as he listened.
The ability to distinguish between good and bad was an essential factor for Minister Dias to be able to reach his current position.
At first glance, he could see the flaws of the four sets of knight armors. The common flaw was that they were too cumbersome. It would be difficult for them to exert their power in a bad environment and terrain.
Secondly, the slightly more powerful spellcasters would be able to knock these knights to the ground or kill them completely before they could even get close to them.
As for the part that really made Minister Dias feel bored, it was probably that he had already seen those giant human magic dolls in "Avatar".
Even though they were illusions created by the purple-clothed figures, the vibrations and impacts brought about by the magic puppets in the movie 'Avatar' were far more satisfying than the knight's armor.
"Count Kirrlutz, I have come here to prepare for a performance in my theater."
Minister Dias didn't wait for Count Kirrlutz to finish introducing all the knights and interrupted him at the right time.
"A performance?" Count Kirrlutz frowned slightly, "Minister Dias, you know that us Ismail people don't like the way you Falosi jump around on the stage. It only makes us feel childish and boring. There will be two gladiatorial matches soon, I believe you will love the feeling of steel and blood clashing together."
"This … Kirrlutz, I really can't appreciate it."
It wasn't that he couldn't appreciate it, it should be said that he wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.
After watching the battle in "Avatar", Minister Dias looked at the gladiatorial match of the four knights. No matter how he looked at it, it was like two toddlers learning to walk.
"We Bismarck people also can't appreciate your performance." Count Kirrlutz shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten how desolate your theater is?"
"But this time is definitely different." Minister Dias said with a tone of certainty, "If Count Kirrlutz allows it, after this gladiatorial match ends, I can directly start my performance below the arena."
"After the gladiatorial match ends? Can those girls in your troupe stand the smell of blood in the arena? Don't faint from the smell, looks like I need to send someone to clean it up. "
As he spoke, Count Kirrlutz looked around the ball as if looking for the members of Minister Dias' troupe.
"Count Kirrlutz doesn't have to go through so much trouble. This performance doesn't require any actors to enter the arena, you just have to dim the light of the protocrystals."
Minister Dias waved his hand, reminding Count Kirrlutz to give up this meaningless action.
"No need for actors? What kind of performance is that? "Count Kirrlutz was slightly taken aback. He still had some understanding of Falosi's stage plays.
A stage performance meant that a troupe of a hundred or even more than two hundred people was meticulously prepared.
The number of people that Count Kirrlutz invited to this ball was not even this many.
"You will know in a moment. Look! Count Kirrlutz, the two knights have already entered the arena. "Minister Dias said as he looked below the arena.
"The axeman and the spiked knight are just a warm-up. The second round, the Dragon Breath and the Priest of Eternal Rest are the two most likely to win this gladiatorial match. Today is just a drill, but the nobles that I invited are all here for this match."
Even though Count Kirrlutz said so.
But when the two knights below walked into the center of the arena, Minister Dias already heard someone shouting their names.
Obviously, the nobles present were very optimistic about these two knights.
These were the 'stars' of the Iron Nation. Their country did not have the profession of actor, and the only thing that could be worshipped by the people were these warriors who survived one battle after another!
