"My brave warrior Yarenide, this Queen has indeed obtained the Holy Relic. Of course, I will fulfill my promise. But do you really want to leave now?"
Cleopatra said with hidden bitterness and charm.
When Cleopatra stabilized the situation in Cairo, Yang Rui immediately asked her to use the Holy Relic to open the Civilization Barrier. From Cleopatra's reaction, it seemed like she didn't want Yang Rui to leave so soon.
"Brave warrior Yarenide, this Queen was only able to defeat Ptolemy XIII with your help. Are you leaving before we even celebrate our victory?"
"Back then, this Queen only agreed to let you use the Holy Relic to open the Civilization Barrier, but we didn't agree on a specific time …"
"My brave warrior, even if you really want to leave, you should at least wait until this Queen officially ascends the throne. Then, you can have a drink with this Queen. Treat it as this Queen's farewell dinner …"
Under Cleopatra's urging, Yang Rui and the others finally stayed for nearly ten days. They continued to help Cleopatra conquer Manfis, Medu, Giza, Sakara, Belyum, Beninisan, Amarna, and several other cities in the distance.
After that, they easily defeated Cinius and Okchivian, two remaining generals loyal to Ptolemy XIII, near Sèis. Now, it was time for Cleopatra to officially ascend the throne.
"Devout people of the gods, today I will convey the will of the gods and officially crown Cleopatra VII as the king of all my people. She will bring stability and happiness to all …"
"Hoh! Hoh … "
“.....”
Cleopatra's ascension ceremony was quickly completed, and the process was very smooth. The scene was even grander. All the NPC Liegeman in Alexandria cheered. It was undeniable that Cleopatra had a natural temperament that united people.
"My brave warrior, I owe most of my achievements to your bravery and fearlessness. Please accept this toast from this Queen …"
At the celebration banquet on the day of her ascension, Cleopatra had originally invited Yang Rui to sit directly with her. The degree of respect was equivalent to that of the second king of the dynasty. Moreover, doing so in front of everyone seemed to have some special meaning.
But in the end, Yang Rui rejected Cleopatra's invitation. He knew very well what this position represented, so he naturally wouldn't accept it so easily.
After that, Yang Rui was invited to sit in the seat closest to Cleopatra. It was much more honorable than the seats of her ministers. Yang Rui accepted it calmly.
As a result of sitting in this position, Cleopatra urged him to drink cup after cup. Cleopatra had the intention of getting drunk with Yang Rui.
However, perhaps because of the public banquet, Cleopatra's words and actions were much more proper than before. This also made Yang Rui feel a little more relaxed. To be honest, Yang Rui really wasn't afraid of simply urging him to drink.
Not to mention that Yang Rui's drinking power had increased a lot since he entered the game. With his current strength, he wasn't afraid of getting drunk. At most, he would use his internal force to force the water out.
Moreover, the wine in the Egyptian civilization area was far worse than the wine in the Three Kingdoms civilization area. The alcohol was similar to red wine in the real world, and there were similarities in color and quality. Yang Rui really didn't have anything to worry about when drinking this kind of wine!
"My brave warrior, in order to show my sincerity, I will drink with you again. After that, my loyal ministers will take turns to toast you …"
Cleopatra wasn't ready to let Yang Rui go easily. She was determined to get him drunk. She didn't stop urging Yang Rui to drink. At the same time, she also used the human wave tactic to let her ministers drink with Yang Rui one by one.
"My brave warrior, Cleopatra, now that I have successfully ascended the throne, I am more certain that you are the man that the gods sent to me for salvation. I thank you again and drink with you …"
Cleopatra kept urging Yang Rui to drink, but she didn't want him to stop at all. After the ministers drank with Yang Rui, she continued to drink with Yang Rui again.
Yang Rui still didn't refuse. He could clearly feel how much room he still had to play. In the Egyptian civilization area, even if Yang Rui drank this kind of wine all night, he should be able to hold on.
Cleopatra, on the other hand, couldn't take it anymore. Her delicate face was already covered with a wine-red color, and she seemed to be sixty to seventy percent drunk. However, she still didn't want to let Yang Rui go so easily. She seemed to be holding on and forcing Yang Rui to drink cup after cup.
Yang Rui wasn't the only one present. Several people around him, such as Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Guo Jia, and Xu You, were also at the banquet. They were also arranged to sit in a very noble position next to Yang Rui. At this time, when they saw Cleopatra urging Yang Rui to drink, their expressions were also different.
Zhang Ning frowned from time to time. Her eyes wandered between Yang Rui and Cleopatra. She seemed to be worried.
Gao Shun still didn't drink a drop of wine, even if it was only the low-alcohol wine in the Egyptian civilization area. The others wanted to drink several times, but they were all rejected by Gao Shun. His expression was the same as before.
Xu You looked very relaxed. He didn't seem to care about Cleopatra's behavior at all. He was very relieved. Like Yang Rui, he didn't refuse to drink. At this time, he seemed to be drinking happily and kept praising the wine in the Egyptian civilization area.
Guo Jia's body had not recovered from the injury, so naturally, he wouldn't drink. At the same time, he looked thoughtful. No one knew what he was thinking.
"My brave warrior Yarid … This queen is not drunk, not drunk … Hey … You all go back … Go back … I want to continue drinking with Yarid … Continue drinking …"
In the end, Cleopatra was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. She had to leave the banquet with the help of two maids.
Even so, Cleopatra insisted that she was not drunk and wanted to drink with Yang Rui. Of course, Yang Rui and Cleopatra's officials persuaded her to stop. Even if Yang Rui thought that he wouldn't get drunk easily, there was no need to continue drinking.
