Chapter 288: The Void and the Snake (Additional update for book friend Passing Blueberry) (Third update)
A girl wearing a maid's costume is building green plants.
For a moment, Su Ming felt as if he had entered another world.
It can be clearly seen from here that the living standard of the Abaik royal family is not inferior to those of the capital giants in the Federation.
“It’s extravagant enough.”
Mia couldn't help but complain.
“Mia!”
Flick, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and glared at her angrily.
"Okay, I won't say anything anymore."
Mia replied boringly.
At this moment, the hover car drove straight to the castle gate and slowly stopped.
As the car door opened, Fleck, Mia and Su Ming stepped out.
At this time Martins came up, stretched out his hand to shake Flick, and said with a smile.
"The banquet has been prepared. The Lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Okay, let's go in."
Fleck responded calmly.
“This way, please!”
Martins then led Flick and others inside.
When they passed through the door, they came to the luxurious hall, with a bright red carpet on the golden floor.
The servants and soldiers standing on both sides lowered their heads.
At this time, Su Ming saw a short, fat, middle-aged man with a greasy face, wearing various luxurious gemstone rings on his hands, and wearing a luxurious red starry robe, walking over with a smile on his face.
"Flick, long time no see."
"Your Majesty, Baistan, it's indeed been many years."
Flick replied politely.
“After all these years, you still haven’t aged at all.”
"You too."
"We must catch up on old times today. The banquet is ready. Let's chat while we eat."
Bainstein said with a smile
"Okay!"
Flick and the other three immediately followed Baistein towards the banquet hall.
Along the way, Su Ming kept observing King Baistan.
Although he has nothing to do with this guy, judging from his exchange with Flick just now, it seems that this king is not a fuel-saving lamp, but a standard old fox.
Soon they arrived at the banquet hall, and a twelve-meter long ruby table came into view, with bouquets of flowers placed on it.
King Baistan went straight to the main seat, while Fleck, Su Ming and Mia sat next to each other on the left side.
Pop!
King Baistan clapped his hands.
A young and beautiful maid came up carrying dishes one after another.
In a blink of an eye, the entire dining table was filled with thirty-six different dishes.
At this time, several maids came forward and poured a glass of crystal clear red wine for Su Ming and others.
"I offer you this cup. You have come all the way, so I should have received you early. However, I have been busy with trivial matters recently, so please don't mind."
Baistein raised his glass and said.
In fact, he originally planned to ask Martins to send Flick and others away. If Flick wanted to see him, he would find an excuse not to see them.
But the development of things was somewhat beyond his expectation. After Flick and others failed to negotiate with Martins, they neither left nor made any movement, and remained huddled on the boat.
This made Baistan feel a little unsure, so he took the initiative to invite Fleck.
“The Lord is too polite.”
Frick also raised his glass and responded politely. "Cheers!"
King Baistan smiled and downed the drink in one gulp.
Su Ming and the other three also drank the wine in their glasses.
Mia's eyes suddenly lit up. The quality of this wine was very good. She quickly motioned to the maid behind her to fill it up quickly.
At this time, King Baistan apologized to Dolfok while eating.
"Flick, my old friend, in addition to inviting you to dinner today, I also want to apologize to you."
"What are you apologizing for?"
Flick Lieke was moved, but he responded very naturally and pretended to be nonchalant.
“Of course it’s for the mining area in the Getosg Rift Valley. This matter is actually our fault, but we can’t help it! That rebel army is supported by the Dark Star Empire. We really I dare not touch them.”
King Baistan was also slightly surprised by Fleck's reaction, but he still started his performance.
"You're talking about this, don't worry about small things, let's drink!"
Flick said nonchalantly, raising his glass.
"Okay!"
Bainstein smiled and picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Flick, and drank the wine in one gulp, but he felt more and more something was wrong.
At this time, Fleck finished his glass of wine and praised him highly.
“This wine is good, silky and full of aroma”
“Since you like it, I’ll have someone bring you a few boxes when you leave.”
< br>Bainstein and Fleck were talking about the snake.
"Okay! I'm not welcome then, haha!"
Fleck accepted with a smile.
Seeing that Fleck was in such a good mood and had the leisure to accept his own wine, Baistein frowned slightly, so he asked calmly.
"Flick, will the loss of this mining area have a bad impact on you? If so, I will feel even more guilty."
"It's okay, let's talk about those spoilers. What should I do? There is a solution to the problem in the mining area, and it is a great thing for you.”
“A good thing?”
"Didn't that rebel army occupy your territory?"
"Yes."
"I have applied for support from the school, and Huangting College decided to send a fifth-level ship combat group Come here. When the time comes, I will help you sweep them all away, and everything will be settled."
Flick became more and more happy as he spoke, and he took a sip from his glass.
When Baistan heard Fleck's words, his whole old face twitched, and he suddenly thought to himself.
"Bad dish!"
He originally wanted to let Huangting Academy retreat, but he didn't expect Huangting Academy to be so tough and send the main fleet over.
It’s okay if this continues. When the time comes, not only will the supplies be taken back, but the troops you raise will also be wiped out, then you will be in a big loss.
So Baistan rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
“Oh, brother Flick, such a small rebel army is not worthy of such a large-scale mobilization by the Imperial Academy!”
"I thought so at first, but I didn't expect that after I reported it, the college was furious! So they mobilized the main fleet and senior students to help, and everything was solved at once. I only had to squat on the ship. Just wait until it's over."
Flick said with a smile.
"Ahem, brother Flick, after thinking about it, I feel that this is not appropriate. This rebel army was caused by our country's mistakes, so why bother the Imperial Academy to start a war! Otherwise, let's do this , how about I negotiate with the rebels? I will ask them to spit out 70% of the supplies, and then let everyone go."
Baistan asked with a smile.
"This"
Flick suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Brother Flick, think about it! If you don't leave some space for the other side, how can they be sure to give up? Besides, using force directly is very dangerous for the hostages, and the gain outweighs the loss!"
Baistan quickly analyzed it carefully.
