The banquet was held in the hall of the Holy Cathedral. Most of the guests had not arrived yet. Only minor characters like Fangzheng and Knight Conan had arrived first. After all, the banquet was very particular. Just like the red carpet, ordinary people could not walk on the red carpet when they entered the hall. Only those with fame and prestige were qualified to walk on the red carpet. Logically speaking, Fangzheng was also one of the people who was qualified to walk on the red carpet. After all, he was the main character who destroyed Hell's Gate. It could even be said that his contribution was not much less than that of the guardians of the Order Fortress. But he had no interest in this kind of thing, so he brought Nimf to the banquet hall early to eat and drink.
After chatting with Knight Conan for a while, Fangzheng took Nimf to a corner to rest. He had already learned the process of the banquet from Knight Conan. It was nothing more than pulling out all the heroes who protected the North and showing them in front of everyone. Then, the Archbishop of the Centre would come out and give a speech. After that, everyone would eat and drink. Those who liked each other would go up to dance and chat, get to know each other, and build up their relationship ….
Of course, Fangzheng was not interested in any of this. He had only waited until now because he heard that Shi Dong and Karl would also be coming. Although Fangzheng was already a marginal character in the Holy Cathedral, Shi Dong treated him well, so it was reasonable for him to greet them.
And then … .then Fangzheng would pack up and leave. There was no point in staying here. He might as well go back and learn magic. Fangzheng had never particularly liked this kind of banquet. Even before his reincarnation, he hated it very much. But unfortunately, as a senior executive of the company, he had no choice but to attend ….
As time went by, the number of people in the hall gradually increased. But none of these people had anything to do with Fangzheng. He just sat in a corner, playing with the black cat in his arms while chatting with Nimf next to him. Everyone was also quite curious about the young man hiding in the corner, but no one came up to look for trouble.
Because Fangzheng's identity was quite awkward, he did not wear his Templar armour, nor did he wear his wizard robe. Instead, he wore his usual noble attire. Nimf, who was beside him, did not wear her usual cloak and miniskirt. Instead, she wore a long, flowing dress. Of course, the little angel had already followed Fangzheng's order to hide her wings long before she came to the Holy Cathedral. Otherwise, if an angel appeared in the Holy Cathedral, no matter how low-key Fangzheng tried to be, it would be useless.
Although Fangzheng could be considered to have made a great contribution, he was still not famous at the moment. In fact, he couldn't even compare to Knight Conan who had returned from the Order Fortress. This was also the aftereffect of Fangzheng's negotiation with the bishops. Since Fangzheng expressed his unwillingness to do his best for the Holy Temple, the Holy Temple naturally would not waste the effort to promote Fangzheng. This was also the aftermath of Fangzheng's negotiation with the Bishops. Since Fangzheng expressed that he was not willing to do his best for the Holy Cathedral, the Holy Cathedral naturally would not waste the effort to promote Fangzheng.
If Fangzheng was alone, perhaps some noble ladies would come up to him. But now that Nimf was by his side, there was naturally no such trouble. Although Nimf had always treated Fangzheng as her master, Fangzheng had never treated Nimf as his servant. Instead, he treated her more like his younger sister. Therefore, Fangzheng would not be stingy with his money on Nimf. The clothes he bought for her were naturally of the highest quality.
It was precisely because of this that no one dared to disturb them rashly. After all, according to the rules of the nobles in this world, if a lady did not attend the banquet alone, she would have to be with a man, either her elder brother or her fiancée. Although Nimf was young, there were no such laws in this world. In fact, many nobles would groom a "female companion" for their children from a young age, which was similar to a "child bride".
The nobles present weren't blind. Nimf was young, but she was very respectful to Fangzheng. But seeing that she was sitting beside Fangzheng and not behind him, it meant that she was not Fangzheng's maid. If they were siblings, they didn't look alike. In that case, this was obviously the best explanation.
There were no such laws in this world, so no one said anything, and no one would come looking for trouble. This is a celebratory banquet of the Holy Cathedral. Why are you causing trouble here? Are you tired of living?
With no one coming to cause trouble, Fangzheng was happy and relaxed. He sat in the corner and played with the black cat in his arms. The black cat was also extremely cute. Faced with Fangzheng's outstretched fingers, it would stretch out its little paws to slap it, and then open its mouth to nibble a few times. And after Fangzheng scratched its chin and belly, it would comfortably snort and curl up in Fangzheng's arms, just like a child. From time to time, it would roll over and meow softly. It was so cute!
Oh my, why is there such a cute animal in this world? Sure enough, people live to play with cats!
Just as Fangzheng was immersed in playing with the cat, suddenly, a voice rang in his ear.
"Why are you here? Why are you here?! "
Hearing this sudden voice, the cat that was still playing around in Fangzheng's arms was startled, and immediately burrowed into Fangzheng's arms. And Fangzheng also frowned in dissatisfaction and looked towards the direction of the voice. After seeing the person in front of him, his expression became even more gloomy.
"Didn't your family teach you how to greet others? Miss Connie? Can't you have a little upbringing? "
That's right, the person who appeared in front of Fangzheng was the Paladin Connie who fought with Fangzheng in the Shadow Ravine. She was now wearing the armor of a Paladin, looking valiant and heroic. But she looked at Fangzheng with an unusually serious and vigilant expression, as if she had seen an enemy.
Facing this woman in front of him, Fangzheng naturally did not intend to be nice to her. He snorted coldly. Hearing his words, the other Paladin standing beside Connie could not help but step forward. He put one hand on the hilt of his sword and stared coldly at Fangzheng.
"How rude! How dare you speak to Lady Connie like that! Being rude to a Paladin is a serious crime! Apologize to Lady Connie immediately! "
"Oh?"
Hearing the man's angry shout, Fangzheng snorted coldly and glanced at him contemptuously.
"Being rude to a Paladin is a serious crime? Then what's the crime of being rude to a Grand Knight? Do you want to commit seppuku right here? And ….. Miss Connie …. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng once again looked at the pale woman with a faint smile.
"As a Paladin, how dare you be rude to a Grand Knight? It seems that it's not just a matter of upbringing, but also a matter of courage …."
"You ….!!"
Hearing Fangzheng's mockery, Connie angrily clenched the hilt of her sword. She wanted to draw her sword right here and fight to the death with Fangzheng. But unfortunately, she knew she could not do that. This was the hall of the Holy Cathedral, and it was the new year's Goddess Worship Ceremony. A conflict here would only tarnish the reputation of the Holy Cathedral. Not to mention that Fangzheng was a Grand Knight …. In terms of position, he was one rank higher than Connie. Although the Holy Cathedral did not particularly emphasize on hierarchy, a Paladin being rude to a Grand Knight was unreasonable. If this got out, how would others look at her?
Not to mention, she was the pride of the heavens, the descendant of the Castina family ….
"… I'm really sorry, Your Excellency Fangzheng."
Although the anger in Connie's heart was enough to burn the entire Infinite Sea, she still gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
"I lost my composure just now and disturbed you. Please forgive me."
"If there's nothing else, then stay away from me. Don't bother me."
Fangzheng did not have a good impression of Connie at all. He knew that she did not like him either. Perhaps, Connie still regarded him as the cultist, Williams. Since this woman was stubborn, Fangzheng of course would not coax her with a smile. After all, even if he did that, it would only make her suspect that he had ulterior motives.
Therefore, Fangzheng simply made it clear that he was not on good terms with Connie. This way, if Connie dared to accuse him of being a cultist again in the future, everyone would suspect that she was abusing her position to take revenge.
Although this woman was not bad looking, so what? Is she cuter than our Nimf? Is she more fun than our kitten? How comfortable is it to have a loli to play with the kitten? It's much better than having a relationship with this kind of woman.
After saying that, Fangzheng lowered his head again and began to play with the kitten in his arms. As for Connie, he did not even bother to look at her.
"You … You …"
Seeing how Fangzheng ignored her, Connie clenched her teeth and trembled with anger. In the end, she bit her lips and lowered her body.
"I'm really sorry to have disturbed you. We'll take our leave now."
After saying this, Connie immediately turned around and left. The other Templars also left immediately. They were not fools. Connie was the pride of the Holy Cathedral. Even the bishops took good care of her. Not only did this young man not take Connie seriously, he even taught her a lesson.
More importantly, Connie did not dare to talk back after being scolded.
Who is he?
Although they had distanced themselves from Fangzheng, the Templars were still thinking about this question in their hearts.
