Chapter 150 Banquet
Naturally, Duanmuhuai would not be stupid enough to prepare for Kabal to steal the light. Although he left, before leaving, Duanmuhuai installed a bomb on the traveler's shackles. If Kabal really wanted to capture the traveler, With such power, Duanmuhuai had no choice but to blow it up.
Anyway, no matter what, these alien alien races cannot be allowed to succeed.
It turns out that the best way to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep is to beat it up.
The bomb destroyed the shackles that bound the traveler and woke it up from its slumber, but...
"Well, it seems a little more powerful?"
Looking at the big white ball in front of him, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. The big, round white ball that was originally round is now full of holes, and you can even clearly see the parts inside - by the way, what on earth is a traveler?
Judging from the appearance, it should be some kind of mechanical creation, so who made it?
Duanmu Huai didn't think about going inside the traveler to see what was going on, but after much deliberation he decided to forget it. He had just blown him up, and now the traveler probably still had nowhere to vent his anger, although it might not know that it was. Who blew it up... Well, let's just say it was the unlucky pig-faced monster who suffered from the traveler's wake-up call.
It has nothing to do with me anyway.
The traveler who was awakened by the bomb didn't react at all. I don't know if it couldn't speak or something. In short, it didn't mean to communicate with other people. It just emerged from its tattered body that was bombed. A large number of smart people, and thousands of guardians were resurrected again. In short...it seems that the travelers are not particularly angry.
Kabal's fleet was directly defeated. With the death of its commander, Kabal's fleet also withdrew. As a result, Duanmuhuai beat her so hard that she didn't even recognize her own mother. In the end, only two or three kittens managed to escape. Everything else turned into fireworks in the sky and was completely destroyed.
After that, the Holy City also began reconstruction work. After all, although there were not many casualties, the Holy City itself suffered heavy losses under the bombing of the Kabal fleet. Even if the city was saved in the end, reconstruction work would be indispensable.
After that, Zavala also represented the Tower Council and approached Duanmuhuai for discussion.
The battle with Kabal made the Guardian Civilization realize the necessity of the existence of the space fleet. However, they really lacked sufficient technology and experience, so Zavala also hoped that Duanmu Huai could help them in this regard.
In the end, the result of the negotiation between the two parties was that Duanmu Huai would help them build some warships (after all, as long as the warships are re-deployed as a space station base, the void dock can be used again), and correspondingly, regarding the materials and resources for making warships , you need to provide it from the guardian civilization.
This is actually not difficult in itself. After all, during the Golden Age, the Guardian Civilization also built a large number of facilities and mining equipment within its own galaxy. Although many of them were destroyed, some remained. Now, as long as the guardians are sent to these planets to eliminate the aliens entrenched there, and the mining equipment is reactivated, the minerals can be collected and processed, and then transported to the space station for construction.
Of course, Duanmu Huai did not work for nothing, at least half of the resources collected were his remuneration.
After all, Duanmu Huai himself also needs to build battleships.
This is not something that can be completed in a short time. The guardians will complete the matters of restarting the factory and collecting minerals, and Duanmu Huai is not doing nothing during this period.
It’s just…………
"Why should I come to this boring party?"
Wearing armor and standing in the crowded banquet hall, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but complain to An.
"Ah hahaha, there's nothing we can do about it."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's complaint, An stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Because this is the engagement ceremony between the eldest son of Duke Ulric and the daughter of Count Hasha, Gulea and I, as the princesses of Manalia and Regnis, must also attend. After all, this was promised by the father himself. Engagement, so as a princess I must participate.”
"But what does this have to do with me?"
"Mr. Knight is my and Gu Leiya's fiancé? How can we not attend at this time? And with Mr. Knight here, Gu Leiya and I will not encounter those troublesome things, and no one will disturb us. Us, isn’t this great? ”
"Good guy, this is what you really think, right?"
Duanmu Huai looked at the group of boys and girls not far away. Judging from their clothes, these young people should also be the children of the Manalia nobles. At this moment, they were gathering together and whispering, and they looked this way from time to time. Give him a look. It is conceivable that if Duanmu Huai was not here, those guys would definitely come up to chat with An and Gu Leiya to build a good relationship, but now Duanmu Huai is standing here, and if nothing else, the momentum alone makes people uncomfortable. Dare to get close, let alone say hello to An.
You really are using me as a tool.
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
Sensing the dissatisfaction in Duanmu Huai's eyes, An also laughed dryly, and then grabbed Gu Leiya.
"Gulea, look, there is delicious food over there!!"
Seeing An fleeing with Gu Leiya, Duanmuhuai sighed helplessly, turned to Ojis and said.
"Don't you want to wander around?"
"I just need to stay with my master."
Although she also changed into a luxurious black lace dress, Ogis obviously had no interest in such an occasion. When she heard Duanmuhuai's question, she just answered lightly, and at the same time turned her attention to the novel in front of her again.
Hearing Ogis' answer, Duanmuhuai also shook his head, and at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Ah, hello, Mr. Knight, long time no see."
Duanmu Huai turned around and saw a beautiful girl with elf-like ears and a gorgeous dress standing in front of him, greeting him with a smile, and Duanmu Huai also nodded. "Hello, Miss Hannah, it's been a long time no see. How have you been lately?"
The elf girl in front of her is none other than Hannah, the student president of Manalia Magic Academy. She is a very conscientious and hard-working person. Well... In fact, judging from Duan Muhuai, the trouble An caused in the academy is... Most of it was Hannah who helped clean up the aftermath.
"Without the princess who causes trouble every day, I feel a lot cleaner all of a sudden, but I also feel that it is a bit too clean... On the other hand, is it okay, Mr. Knight? Your Majesty, the princess didn't cause any trouble for you, right?"
"For me, she was a big help."
Duanmuhuai did not hide his thoughts about An at all.
"And I don't think she caused any trouble for me. After all, the outside world is so exciting and it's not too late for her to enjoy it. As far as I can see, she lives a happy life every day."
"Yeah, that's good..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Hannah also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she turned her head and looked helplessly at An, who was happily chatting with Gu Leiya.
"I also understand that Manalia Magic Academy is too small for Her Royal Highness the Princess. Her eyes are always looking at the wider world. Now that she can realize her wish, it is also a great thing for me. Good thing......"
Having said this, Hannah looked at Duanmuhuai again.
"But I also hope that you can protect Her Royal Highness, Mr. Knight, this is my only request."
"Don't worry, Miss Hannah, I won't let Ann be in danger."
Duanmuhuai nodded. He had to say that An was indeed a quirky little girl, but her liveliness and cheerfulness did bring a lot of joy. To be honest, Duanmuhuai quite liked her. He can also understand why Gu Liya likes Ann, well... but it's another matter to treat her as an unmarried couple.
It's embarrassing to say that, after all, Duanmu Huai had never even experienced a blind date before traveling through time, let alone getting married. At this moment, Hannah looked forward and said.
"Ah, it's almost time to start."
As she spoke, Duanmu Huai looked forward and saw a pretty girl in a white dress walking down the stairs in the middle, and not far below him stood a man in a black dress with a black face. The beautiful girl with hair, according to An's introduction, is the pretty girl's fiancée, and the next step should be to announce their engagement and marriage.
It should be like this…………
"Everyone!"
The pretty boy stood in the middle of the steps, looking around at the guests. Then he raised his head and took a deep breath.
"I hereby declare that I, Ard Ulric, am canceling my engagement with Audrey Hasha!"
The pretty girl's voice echoed in the banquet hall. For a moment, there was dead silence in the banquet hall. All the guests raised their hands. They originally planned to applaud, but at this time, they didn't know what expression to show.
Even An and Gu Leiya, who had returned to Duanmu Huai, were looking ahead in confusion, not knowing what to say. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows curiously and looked at the pretty boy.
"Oh?"
Is this the real-life version of breaking off an engagement?
This was the first time he saw it, and he thought this kind of scene could only be found in novels!
However, Duanmu Huai remembered that most cases of annulment in novels were when the man lost his strength and had no use value for some reason, so the family annulled the engagement. This was the first time he saw a man break an engagement to a woman in public.
Why? Could it be that this young man was cuckolded by his fiancée?
At this moment, Duanmu Huai also immediately entered the melon-eating mode. Unfortunately, there were no melon seeds nearby, otherwise he would have moved to a bench and sat down to eat melon seeds and watch the show.
And Miss Audrey obviously didn't expect such a thing to happen. She also looked at the other party with a pale face and asked.
"…………Lord Ard, why do you want to cancel the engagement?"
Facing Odile's inquiry, the young man named Alder was silent for a moment, and then stretched out his hand.
"Because I have someone I truly love, and she is my perfect match!!"
As he spoke, Yard walked among the guests, stretched out his hand, pulled out a girl with fluffy orange short hair, and held her in his arms. Then he stared at Audrey and said.
"Only this Miss Angela is my true love! I will marry her!"
“…………………???”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked confused. He turned his head and looked at An, who was also stunned.
"Is your country so confident about cheating?"
