I Became the King of Villains In the Game - Chapter 420

Chapter 420 Royal Dinner

Chen Lun pondered.

The thought that popped into his mind suddenly reminded him of what Arnold once said—

‘Arnold called Martin Gustus, the former Pope of the Church of the Sun, his uncle. If he is really a prince, this is reasonable. After all, the relationship between the Sun Royal Family and the Church of the Sun is close. ‘

But he soon had some doubts.

‘But if this is the case, why did Arnold, as the high-ranking person of the sun, stay at the end of the darkness, unwilling to leave, and even lost most of his memory… It seems that he has not seen his sister Anna for a long time, and the impression is even What the **** is going on when she was a child and the Sun Royal almost never claimed two princes? ‘

Chen Lun frowned tightly, always feeling that there was some secret hidden in it.

Perhaps this will be an unknown secret inside the royal family.

Looking at the back of the Sun Princess, Chen Lun was thoughtful. Immediately, he put down these mental activities and returned his attention to the imperial celebration.

After the awarding ceremony, the royal family arranged a song and dance performance. The event lasted until three o’clock in the afternoon. The residents of Wangcheng who came to participate in the celebration left with smiles on their faces.

But for the greats on the high platform, the celebration has only just begun.

Because Prince Dazlet held a royal dinner, he invited these big shots to attend. After all, the occasion was special, so Chen Lun asked his subordinates to leave first, and only brought Floyd with him to the Sun Palace with the royal ceremonial team.

The prince prepared a special carriage for all the guests. Chen Lun took Floyd’s hand and got into his own carriage. There were only the two of them in the carriage.

“How about it, are you nervous? Next we will attend a royal dinner, and there will be many real big names in the empire present.”

Chen Lun opened the drink cabinet in the carriage, took out a bottle of juice drink and a bottle of milk, poured a glass of orange juice for Froy, and asked aloud.

Floy is wearing a purple evening dress today, her long light golden hair is coiled up, revealing a pair of bright amethyst earrings, plus the crescent moon pendant on her chest, the whole person looks extremely beautiful.

She stretched out her fair hand to take the juice, took a sip, and smiled.

“Don’t be nervous, because you are by my side.”

Floy’s purple eyes stared at Chen Lun with a smile.

Chen Lun poured himself a glass of milk, and smiled at her.

Roller…

The carriage traveled due north along the main road in the central area, and stopped after approaching the Sun Palace. The driver told Chen Lun that he could only go up on foot, which was the rule of the royal family.

Chen Lun thanked her, and led Floyd out of the carriage, and climbed up the straight and spacious white marble steps.

There are many other invited dignitaries around, accompanied by various stewards of the royal family, walking along the steps towards the huge golden palace at the end.

The steps are very long, and Chen Lun and his wife walked for about ten minutes to get there.

In front of the huge arch, there were already several teams of royal welcome personnel waiting. After seeing Chen Lun, one of the stewards strode forward and saluted him.

“Mr. Jack Speight, and this beautiful lady, please, the dinner will start in two hours, now you can walk around in the banquet hall freely, enjoying music and refreshments.”

The steward moved gracefully, with one hand behind his back, bowed slightly, and raised his hand to lead the door.

Chen Lun showed a polite smile, nodded and thanked, and then led Floy into the banquet hall on the side of the palace.

As soon as I entered, I heard the melodious violin and piano ensemble, and countless men and women in formal dresses shuttled inside, or stopped to chat, or looked around.

It is quite spacious and bright here. The tens-meter-high dome is painted with exquisite murals, nine giant chandeliers are distributed in the shape of petals, and there are large and small oil paintings hanging on the smooth painted walls, all of which are from the hands of famous artists.

Here, Chen Lun even saw portraits of members of the Sun Royal Family.

“Is that the Sun King?”

Floy’s beautiful eyes reflected the light of the chandelier, and she turned her head to stare at a giant oil painting in the center of the banquet hall.

Following her gaze, Chen Lun saw that in the oil painting, which was more than ten meters high and four to five meters wide, there was a golden throne inlaid with various gemstones and crystals, on which sat a blond man.

His facial features are deep, with a slight beard, and a calm but majestic expression. The golden armor on his body was engraved with numerous patterns, the shoulders were decorated with two lion heads, and the reddish-brown cloak was hanging down on the ground, looking very heroic.

“Yes, that is Emperor Trisul, the Sun King Andre.”

Chen Lun looked at the oil painting and said softly.

Although he only saw the imperial king from a distance once in the middle of version 2.0 of his previous life, he was quite impressed with him. Because the opponent was mobilizing on the front line of the war at that time, his body exuded golden radiance, as if a **** had descended into the world, which made people awe-inspiring.

“Let’s go, let’s go over there and have a look.”

Chen Lun took Floyd’s hand and walked to the east side of the banquet hall, where the walls were covered with portraits of members of the Sun Royal Family.

Besides Prince Dazlet and Princess Anna, there were dozens of men, women and children. Chen Lun only recognized a few of them, and had never seen the rest.

Even if he was known as “knowledgeable” in his previous life, he was limited by his level of strength at that time and had no chance to get access to such high-level information.

Among these portraits, one painting caught Chen Lun’s attention.

It was an empty chair, standing in the darkness, with a sword on it.

“You are curious why there is such a special painting among the portraits of members of the Sun Royal Family, right?”

At this time, a magnetic chuckling male voice came.

Chen Lun and Floye turned their heads to look, and saw the prince Dazlet walking slowly, followed by the princess and several dignitaries.

“Your Majesty the Prince, Your Majesty the Princess.”

Chen Lun bowed to him.

Dazlet smiled at him, as if waiting for his answer.

“Yes, I’m curious.”

Although Chen Lun vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, maybe it had something to do with Arnold, but he didn’t say it, but pretended to be puzzled.

“It stands to reason that even if members of the royal family die, their portraits will not be revoked. This is their birthright honor… But this member is a bit special, if Anna insisted on hanging this painting…”

The prince said, but the princess beside him suddenly frowned and interrupted in a cold voice:

“Brother! Don’t forget what your father said!”

“Okay okay, I see, Anna…”

Dazlet shrugged, and cast an apologetic look at Chen Lun.

“Sorry, Jack, this matter involves some royal scandals, so I can’t tell you the truth.”

He ignored the cold eyes of the princess, and patted Chen Lun on the shoulder affectionately.

“I am very optimistic about you, Jack. The stability of the empire needs your contribution in the future. Don’t let me down.”

“Yes, Your Majesty the Prince.”

Chen Lun humbly touched his chest and lowered his head.

Dazlet nodded slightly, and after saying excuse me, he led the people behind him to leave the spot, and walked towards other guests with a friendly smile on his face.

When the other party left, the princess turned her head again, and glanced at Chen Lun with an indescribably calm look.

‘Princess Anna, what does it mean? ‘

Chen Lun is a little unclear.

Immediately, a faint female voice came from his ear:

“Don’t get too close to the prince.”

Chen Lun was slightly taken aback.

He could tell that this voice belonged to Princess Anna.

Looking up, the prince and his party had gone far away, and the princess followed her brother as usual, as if the voice just now was just Chen Lun’s hallucination.

‘Why did she remind me…’

Chen Lun became more and more confused.

After taking a deep breath, he put this matter in his heart, and immediately asked Floyd:

“Are you hungry? Would you like some snacks?”

Floy shook her head.

“Then let’s find a place to sit.”

Chen Lun pointed to a sofa and said.

“Ok.”

Froy agreed with a smile.

As time goes by, more and more guests are present.

Soon the dinner began with the prince’s announcement.

On one side of the stage, the court musicians played a gentle and comfortable melody, and everyone sat down to eat. The meals presented at the banquet were cooked by the royal chefs, and the most expensive ingredients were used. Even Floyd had two mouthfuls. After that, they all whispered to Chen Lun that it was delicious.

But at this moment, an abrupt voice sounded:

“Everyone.”

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Duke Abirama standing up slowly at a seat at a round table, with a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his face.

“As we all know, the catastrophe of the empire originated from the turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church…and among the several forces that helped to suppress the Red Calamity, the new Orthodox Church’ Generous Council has contributed a lot. Here, I would like to express my respect to Baron Jack Speight Here’s a toast.”

He raised his glass to Chen Lun.

Everyone watched this scene with smiles on their faces, and many dignitaries applauded.

Chen Lun frowned secretly. He didn’t know what the duke was up to, but he still had to be superficial, so he responded with a faint smile, and also raised his own cup, but there was only hot milk in it.

After the Duke of Abirama finished drinking, he did not sit down, but continued to speak:

“However, I heard a strange thing recently… Many residents of Wangcheng bought a god-given item called ‘Holy Water of Atonement’ in the Generous Council, saying that drinking this holy water can wash away past sins, but The result was that he drank himself into the hospital.”

“So, there is something wrong with the so-called god-given items peddled by the Generous Council?”

Another young nobleman at the table with the Duke said in surprise.

“I don’t dare to talk about the things of the Orthodox Church, but I have collected some ‘holy water’, and I brought it with me. I plan to take this opportunity to ask Baron Jack Speight, what’s going on?”

Duke Abirama said, and took out a reagent from his arms, which contained half a tube of transparent liquid.

Looking at the object in his hand, Chen Lun immediately understood what the other party meant.

“It seems that this duke has frequently inquired about the Council of Generosity. This guy is very smart, and he caught the stupid things that idiot Brendan did before I came to the king’s city… He wanted to use this to prevent me from stepping down and indirectly attack the Council of Generosity. fame? ‘

He couldn’t help shaking his head secretly.

The guests present were all high-ranking and powerful people, and soon they all understood the meaning of the Duke’s words. They all looked at the young man in the black hat at the other table, wanting to take a look with great interest. How will the young senior leaders of the church respond.

“Uncle Abirama, can you show me the ‘holy water’ in your hand?”

At this time, the prince on the throne suddenly spoke.

“Of course, Prince Dazlet.”

Duke Abirama knew very well what was in his hands. The prince asked for an inspection, and he couldn’t wait for it, so he readily gave the reagent bottle to the royal attendant and asked it to be delivered to the prince.

The prince uncorked the bottle under the gaze of everyone, sniffed it lightly, and then frowned slightly.

“This is the smell of tap water, with a faint smell of disinfectant.”

After making his evaluation, he planned to take a sip, but was stopped by the stewards behind him.

“Your Majesty, no!”

Director Babaye walked directly to the prince, and humbly offered to let him drink it for a try.

“In this case, Babaye, come and see what this holy water is.”

The prince smiled, and handed the things in his hand to the chief steward.

The latter didn’t talk nonsense, he just raised his head and took a sip. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

“This is tap water.”

Everyone couldn’t help being in an uproar.

The generous council actually used tap water to defraud believers of their property?

What a scandalous scandal!

Spreading the word is not just to discredit the generous parliament, but even the imperial government and the sun royal family will be affected. After all, the seven righteous **** churches are hand-appointed by the royal family.

“Jack, how do you explain this?”

Prince looked at Chen Lun seriously.

It seems that if he cannot give a reasonable explanation, the consequences will be extremely serious.

Chen Lun got up slowly, bowed to Prince Dazlet, and then said lightly:

“This is just a one-sided statement of the Duke of Abirama, and the ‘holy water’ in his hand did not come from the Generous Council. As for where it came from, I don’t know…”

“You mean, Uncle Abirama is slandering you?”

Prince said in a deep voice.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Chen Lun said calmly.

“Wangcheng Generous Church does provide believers with a kind of ‘holy water’, but it is not a scam made by ordinary tap water… but has real extraordinary power, which can cure injuries and diseases, and delay aging.”

He took out a golden cup containing the fountain of youth.

“This is the real ‘holy water’, His Majesty can check it.”

The prince nodded when he saw this, and turned his head to ask Babaye, the chief steward, to fetch the holy water from Chen Lun’s hand.

This time, Babaye frowned after taking a mouthful of the fountain of youth.

“It is indeed as Mr. Jack said, this is an extraordinary thing, containing a strong life force… not only can heal injuries and diseases, but also prolong life.”

The guests all showed a look of surprise, all the supernatural things were given to the believers?

The Generous Council is true to its name, generous enough…

Chen Lun took this opportunity and added:

“As the new Orthodox Church, the Generous Council tried its best to protect the believers. How could it be like Duke Abirama said, defrauding their money and trampling on their bodies…”

Duke Abirama’s smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at him expressionlessly.

Chen Lun took out two more “Pearl Girl Meimei” developed by Maggie, handed them to the chief steward Babaye, bowed to the prince and princess and said:

“These are two potions made from holy water. They have stronger effects. After taking them, they can not only delay aging, but also improve their charm and quick thinking… They are here as a gift for the imperial celebration, dedicated to the prince and princess Your Majesty.”

Prince chuckled and nodded appreciatively.

The Duke of Abirama suddenly interjected:

“Baron Jack Speight, you said that I slandered you, but the dozen or so believers who were sent to the hospital because of the ‘Holy Water’ are real witnesses! You…”

“Shut up.”

Princess Anna suddenly said coldly.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, even the prince was slightly startled.

Princess Anna turned her head to look at Duke Abirama with a face of confusion, and said slowly:

“Duke, I know that you have a good relationship with Archbishop Terrence, but this is not the reason for you to deliberately make things difficult for Jack on such an occasion. Put away this boring trick, I don’t want to listen to you anymore.”

Duke Abirama was taken aback for a moment, then took a deep breath, and humbly bowed his head to the princess. He knew that the few hole cards he still had hidden in his hand were useless… Princess Anna’s words meant that the plan had failed.

Chen Lun was a little surprised. He didn’t know why Princess Anna would speak for him, but he also looked at the dining table of the Church of the Sun because of this. Terrence glanced at him expressionlessly.

“I had some misunderstandings with Your Majesty Terrence in the past, and hereby I apologize to him…”

With a smile on his face, Chen Lun bowed towards the Church of the Sun.

“However, when we suppressed the Rotov family last time, we had a tacit cooperation with His Majesty Terrence. I hope there will be such opportunities in the future.”

The Pope of the Church of the Sun, Tiferney, and all the high-level officials remained silent, as if Chen Lun did not exist. But Terrence, who was watched by everyone, put down his knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and nodded to Chen Lun.

“There will be such a chance, Jack.”

Terrence said lightly.

Chen Lun didn’t seem to hear the indifference implied in his tone, and the smile on his face continued.

“In this case, everyone, please continue to eat.”

The prince raised his hand to signal.

The guests at the scene felt sorry to see the end of this good show. They wished that the conflict between the two sides would become more intense…that would be interesting.

“pity…”

History and Ritual Association and the high-level secret channel of the Hailing Regiment.

The top leaders of the Moon Sect, the Stars Sect, and the Madman Sect remained silent throughout the entire process, seemingly indifferent to this.
