Other than a certain someone, the Lich was the most idle person in the group. Even the two apprentices were occasionally asked by the dwarves or Uzov to help. Of course, there was a reward for that. As for Augustus, as a qualified nerd, he did not go out.
Seeing that no one was there to support him, Fen consciously asked, "How about it? Do you need me to help you?"
"Well, I'm not going to fight this time. Can you restrain yourself from hitting people? "
"At most, I can restrain myself from killing people."
Facing the honest Lich, a certain someone could only helplessly say, "Well, at most, you can beat them half to death, okay?"
"Then three-quarters of them will die."
"Is there a need to bargain for this kind of thing? Also, what's three-quarters of them dying? "
"Then tell me, what do you mean by 'half to death'?"
A certain someone who was rebutted was suddenly speechless. He rubbed his nose and silently ate the food in his bowl. However, Lich had already decided on the candidates for the banquet. As the main character, Lin, Fen, who was going to eat the rich, and the two girls who were apprentices in name. It could be said that the magic system's lineup was all set out.
As for the five days, the mages were not nobles who had nothing better to do. They were all buried in their own research. Even if they were not extremely busy, they did not have the time to do it all the time. It was not that simple to find so many big shots who were free or scheduled to be busy with something that could be pushed back.
Sending out the invitation to the mage banquet five days ago could be considered very fast. Otherwise, for a banquet of such a scale, it would be normal to send out invitations one or two months in advance. However, from the abnormal speed, it was possible to guess that the people who held this banquet were a bit anxious.
However, in these five days, it seemed that someone could not wait and had many small tricks around a certain someone.
But with an attitude of not caring and not caring, Marco Lin ignored them. If he could not ignore them, he would politely refuse. This included those people who appeared from time to time to spy on her from outside the walls of her new residence in the Holy City, or those strangers who inexplicably came to strike up a conversation with her in the academy.
On the day of the banquet, early in the morning, Lin saw a rare sight. Augustus had returned to his original dragon form and was lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun with his belly open. If he didn't see that the dragon's stomach was still rising and falling, he would have thought that the dragon had flipped its stomach and that it was over.
Lin came to the side of Augustus' head, which was larger than his entire body, and asked the black dragon, who was panting heavily with its tongue hanging out. "Why are you looking so unsightly? Are you lying down and basking in the sun?"
Augustus said, "Last night, a lot of midnight snacks suddenly came. I ate until I was full, so I let the sun dry my belly. This is a treatment that we can't enjoy while living underground. "
"I ate too much." Did this mean that someone was invading in the middle of the night? They were all fed to the dragons. Should this be called cruel? Or did he die a worthy death?
Forget it. He had persisted in not killing them because he was afraid of trouble. It was not because he had a compassionate heart. Augustus had already eaten. Was he going to spit it out and let the Lich come back to life?
Because they were going to attend a banquet, the three women were busy for a few days to dress up. They wanted to sew their own clothes, but they couldn't find any good cloth that they liked. Of course, it was also possible that the shop was not good enough, or that the other party was not willing to take out good things. Regarding this, they complained a lot when they came back.
In the end, they went to the shop that Magician Shaoer, the owner of Flaming Red Lips, had recommended. The things inside were still of high quality, but they were very expensive and not the kind that would amaze people. In the eyes of the three women, it was just passable.
In addition, they also had to rent a carriage. Otherwise, a certain someone could use Blink to reach his destination, and the two apprentices could only bitterly walk. The carriage could be borrowed from Great Magician Kabanbai, but a certain someone was too lazy to owe a favor for such a small matter. In any case, no matter where the carriage came from, it was trash in his eyes. Without a shock absorber, all transportation was trash.
Anyway, since he already had an engine, should he consider building a carriage? Sitting in the carriage, a certain someone's butt hurt from the jolting, and he was thinking nonsense to divert his attention.
The banquet was held in the home of a Magician who had a noble background in the Guevana Empire. There were many people with such a background in the Holy City of Estali. After all, nobles had money and power. As long as their children had magic talent, it was very easy to cultivate a Magician. Moreover, with strength, one's status would also increase. It could be said that it was a complementary benefit.
And of course, people with such a background would act like nobles. For example, in the core area of the Holy City, which was close to the five-story Saint-level Magic Tower, it was impossible for an ordinary person to build a mansion that occupied a large area.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate. Raging bonfires were lit on both sides, and rather than saying that they were mighty knights, it was better to say that they were a ceremonial team. They stopped this carriage without a coat of arms, of course, to check if the passengers were qualified to enter. Lin also showed the exquisite invitation letter sent by the white owl as a messenger to this group of knights.
For a Magician's banquet of this level, the invitation letter was also a kind of magic tool. It would emit a specific power that corresponded with the token in the hands of the banquet organizer. This way, the overly complicated inspection process could be omitted. It was basically impossible to forge an invitation letter, and no one would forge such a thing.
The crystal ball in the hands of the knights who walked forward emitted a faint yellow light after Lin took out the invitation letter. The knights standing guard on both sides of the road saluted in unison with a swish and opened the gate at the entrance of the mansion at the same time.
The carriage was guided to a part near the periphery and stopped. Not far away, the courtyard near the main mansion was one of the venues for the open-air banquet. There were many magic lights hung high on the pillars. Under the soft illumination of the lights, men and women had already gathered in the courtyard with wine glasses in their hands. Some people were holding plates of food, eating and drinking while chatting and laughing.
The Magicians were still very practical. How stupid it was to go to a banquet and not have enough to eat.
However, looking at the open-air buffet banquet, a certain person's intuition told him that this was the product of a transmigrator senior. At least, there was no banquet of this style outside of the Holy City.
When new guests arrived, the waiters of the banquet naturally came forward to take the two apprentices to the venue. The two Magicians served them a glass of white wine and roughly explained the location of the venue, like where the food and drinks were.
The reason why the banquet was divided according to the level of the banquet was because people of different levels would speak different languages.
For example, if a Magician's Apprentice complained that his apprentice-level magic didn't work in a circle full of Magicians, he would probably get a lot of disdainful looks. However, if he complained in a circle full of Magicians, it would definitely cause a lot of sympathy. Who exactly were they trying to torture by putting two parties together? So, it was better to separate them.
With Fen's beauty, a bunch of suitors quickly appeared in such an occasion. All kinds of beautiful words of praise, as well as words of love at first sight, poured out without hesitation. It seemed that the Lich was really drunk after the bewitching speech.
In particular, there were some students from her life course who recommended the promising young people in their family and helped them to flank them. Of course, it was another round of beautiful words that praised a certain Lich's beauty to the sky, as if all the other women in the banquet were overshadowed.
A certain someone who was ignored and inconspicuous was naturally pushed aside. He hid at the edge of the banquet and stuffed himself with all kinds of delicious food. The dishes at these banquets were made with the highest quality ingredients and were cooked by excellent chefs. No matter if it was cold or hot food, it was impeccable.
As for whether it was going to rain or if the mother wanted to get married, of course, it was up to her. Otherwise, what else could he do?
"Cui Puwu …" Someone approached and spoke, but the problem was that a certain someone flashed and directly left the place! Only the bystanders were left looking at each other.
Of course, a banquet hosted by a Magician with a noble background wouldn't just be about eating and drinking. There would also be some entertainment. In the corner of the banquet hall, there were five small string orchestra composed of violins, violins, and violins. They played soft music.
This kind of experience was refreshing for a certain someone. It wasn't that these five musicians were better than those on Earth, but that they had heard the songs of bards who dared to walk around with a turtledove zither. It was quite surprising to be able to hear proper string music.
The music was melodious, but it wasn't at the level of classical music on Earth. It was quite good to use it as background music for the banquet. At the very least, this group of musicians were not inexperienced newbies. The wind was quite steady, so naturally, the music would be moving.
In addition to the music, there were also people who sang. However, listening to the high notes of the falsetto, the people beside him were intoxicated, but a certain someone didn't feel anything at all. It could only be said that vocal music wasn't to the liking of a certain transmigrator.
On the other hand, this singer was a woman who wore revealing clothes, and her every movement was seductive. There were many women like her at the banquet. And they weren't Magicians, at least they didn't wear the small shawls that Magicians wore.
These women looked quite like the social flowers that were specially hired to liven up the atmosphere of the banquet when they participated in the noble banquet in the Wulian City of the Southwest Peninsula. It was just that a certain someone didn't know that a Magician's banquet was also like this. Or perhaps it was just because the host was a noble, so they were used to this kind of thing.
"Sir …" Someone tried to talk, but a certain someone pretended not to notice before the other party finished speaking and flashed away again. The person who spoke was left in place with an awkward expression.
The reason why he wanted to avoid these people was purely because of a warning that made someone upset.
This inexplicable intuition often surfaced in his mind recently. He didn't ask if it was right or not. A certain someone just wanted peace of mind, so most of the time, he would rather believe it was true than not. And it was later proven that this warning sign was usually not aimless, but something would really happen.
And now, at a Magician's banquet, a similar warning appeared in his heart. This only meant that this Hongmen Banquet in front of him was indeed full of dangers. He didn't know how the other party would attack and what kind of trap would be prepared.
