Chapter 357 15. At the banquet
Solz Magic Academy auditorium.
This banquet hosted by the college is in full swing.
In addition to the students, there were also aristocratic and wealthy parents who wanted to get to know Annan, but they were blocked by the girls surrounding Annan. Fortunately, Annan remembered the curfew and asked Olmedo and the others to go first. go back.
The fishing showdown between Fast and Leila was also postponed.
It took Annan more effort to get rid of them than the game itself. He went to the long table and grabbed a piece of pastry, and the comments about him came from the side:
"King of the North? Haha... Such a big name, he is probably a self-proclaimed nobleman from some small place. But He's really qualified...Sertovis Academy beat Solz Academy half to death, and he beat Srtovis Academy half to death."
For the sake of compliment, Annan didn't say anything. , holding the pastries and came near Dean Blehim. The dean who was talking to a middle-aged noble said something and waved to Annan.
Annan stuffed the pastry into his mouth and asked: "Dean, who is the next opponent and when will it start?"
"Are you anxious?" His long smile never disappeared after returning from the arena.
"I am a lord, and the territory is like a mage's staff to me."
"You have two more days of rest, and those in the etiquette department should bring new news." Dean Breshim handed in Giving Annan a glass of red wine, "So, King of the North who has brought honor to the college, what can the college reward you?"
"Territory, Jinnaer will also do."
Annan The answer is very Elimayas, not ivory tower at all.
“It seems that our championship requirements are not high.”
Dean Blehim looked outside the banquet and saw that new guests had arrived.
The new guests did not warm up the atmosphere of the banquet, but became a piece of ice added to the boiling water.
Because the people who came are from Syltovis College.
Annan accidentally joined the vortex and picked up a glass of red wine. The fragrance of the fermented grapes made him unable to help but taste it. The sweetness is very mild, I can only say it smells better than it tastes.
Luther King, who had become Annan's follower, leaned close to him and whispered: "Your Highness, do you know? There is a person at Syltovis College who has a good impression of you."
"Have a good impression?"
"Yes, the kind that secretly likes you..."
Under the influence of red wine, a scene suddenly appeared in Annan's mind while holding the wine glass:
In the soothing and tender music of "The Fall of the Mage Tower", on the rippling blue seaside beach, a boy is walking on the deserted beach, and a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounds:
"What a coincidence, you Also here.”
The girl with her trouser legs rolled up had her hands behind her back and her smile was like bright sunshine. "Do you want to come together?"
"Okay...Okay"
As the sun sets, young girls with tender feelings are walking on the white beach. Under the sunset, the long and narrow The shadows gradually stick together -
"The person who has a crush on you is coming!"
Luther King, who exclaimed, stepped aside, and behind him, a young man The man came towards Annan.
Delphi made a deep bass: "You are younger and...handsome than I thought."
The music in his mind stopped abruptly, and as the lingering sound echoed, Annan calmly handed the wine glass to Luther King: "I'm sorry, I remembered that I forgot to feed the dog at home, so I'm sorry." Annan, who didn't stay long, caused Luther King to misunderstand, and said with hostility: "You were defeated by His Highness alone, and you actually came to the banquet to cause trouble. ?”
“Your Highness? This is a misunderstanding. We come here with good intentions.”
There are not many conflicts between Syltovis College and Solz College. ,
At most, the Sltoves Academy looks down on the Solz Academy, the professors of the Sltovis Academy look down on the professors of the Solz Academy, and the students of the Sltovis Academy look down on the students of the Solz Academy.
But just as Srtoves Academy defeated Solz Academy and wanted to bless them for winning the ranking for the Innocence City, Annan beat Srtoves Academy to tears, and they also wanted to bless Annan. Get the ranking.
Annan, who was far away from the whirlpool, was approached by Alice again. As the protagonist of this celebration dinner, it is difficult for Annan to be alone tonight.
“Don’t be lost in vanity.”
Alice said for no reason: “Those who like you because of your money will leave because you lose your wealth; those who like you because of your appearance will leave because of your appearance. You will change your mind when you get old, and those who like you because of your strength will stay away because you lose your strength..."
"Do you suggest that I add this story to the script?"
"I'm reminding you, Annan. This place is different from the North. You will see countless things you have never seen before, wealth, and beauty. ...Countless geniuses have been lost to the public because of them.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I want?”
“What do you want?” the upright Alice asked directly.
"Rat Man."
Alice looked at Annan strangely: "Could it be that the rumors are..."
"Elves, orcs. Goblins, kobolds, tauren, jackals, demons... The races in this world can abandon barriers and hatred, Living together. "
Xingyue Bay is not included. There were only a few dozen aliens there at the time, so the atmosphere was similar to the towns before the alien order.
Alice wanted to say something else, but her hurried steps suddenly broke into the banquet.
The vice dean's staggering steps were about to fall. Annan, who was recently writing "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", thought that he was going to shout out at the next moment: Troll invasion.
But it was almost the same. I saw the deputy dean running in front of dean Blehim, and his urgent words could be heard in half of the auditorium: "Officials from the Imperial Ceremony Department are here! They are bringing trouble!"
After the words fell, the sound of neat leather boots stepped on the steps outside the auditorium. As etiquette officials, their etiquette is impeccable. It's just that they made the lively banquet suddenly cold.
Seeing them walking towards him, Annan had to confirm that the banquet was not held in his name.
They came for Annan’s identity—not as the King of the North, but as a student.
Annan was slandered as not being a student.
The plot that Annan expected did not appear on the field, but appeared at the celebration dinner after the game.
However, trouble was eliminated as soon as it appeared. Dean Blehim told officials that this did not exist, and the visiting Srtoves College was forced to testify for Annan.
Not long after, the college professor hurried over with the parchment signed by Annan on the day of his enrollment. At that time, there were still several days before the announcement of the Empire Competition.
The news of the Empire Contest may have been discussed in the imperial capital for a long time, but if Annan can even know such secrets in advance... why does the dean need help with the fiefdom matter?
The etiquette official who confirmed Annan's innocence left. But with their arrival and the quiet retreat of those wealthy and aristocratic parents who were not very clean, the banquet could no longer maintain the excitement.
The students left to move on to their second round.
