Starting from the boundary between the capital city and the outer peninsula, there are women in gorgeous clothes waiting on both sides of the road. The warm spring breeze blew their dresses away, revealing their snow-white thighs and soft waists.

Every few hundred meters, there are lounges built with silk damask, where people who come to the banquet can rest and enjoy the night view.

On the sea surface of Yan'an, the outer peninsula, countless brightly lit ships slowly paraded around the island, accompanied by loud drum music.

Airships, which are rarely seen on weekdays, are flying around the island like balloons on National Day. They even hang lanterns to illuminate the sky.

Cheng Jinzhou got on an airship alone and looked at the bustling scene below with some emotion.

In his impression, the Star Warlock Association has always been low-key. Now it is acting low-key, but he doesn't know why.

Two astromancers greeting guests were flying around in the dark sky. In order to prevent accidental collisions, they were wrapped in shiny materials and looked like ducks running away from a barbecue.

Mr. Cheng Jinzhou? When the airship was about to reach the center of the peninsula, a star warlock boarded the ship to greet him.

It's me. Cheng Jinzhou smiled innocently, looking like a 13-year-old child.

Welcome to the banquet on the outer peninsula. The main location is below. Can you go there now? The badge couldn't be seen clearly in the darkness, but judging from the way he flew freely in the air, he was at least a second-level astromancer.

Cheng Jinzhou was secretly speechless. The number of Star Warlocks born in the Star Warlock Association every year is very small, and sometimes there are only single digits in a whole year. But the lifespan of Astromancers is very long. Most of the time, people cannot see high-level Astromancers, mainly because they hide in unknown corners.

After moving the anti-gravity star array, Cheng Jinzhou tried his best to follow the opponent. At the same time, he asked casually: I wonder why this banquet is held this time?

It's to welcome a distinguished guest. The star warlock didn't hide anything. He took Cheng Jinzhou to his position and soared into the sky again.

Gentlemen who have not received professional public relations training may not necessarily be better than ordinary people in dealing with others, although they are of high rank. Cheng Jinzhou didn't even have a chance to ask the other party's name, and just watched him disappear into the dim sky.

…

This is the banquet. Cheng Jinzhou looked at the bright lights and the sounds of people hidden among the pavilions, rockeries and green trees, feeling somewhat dazed.

From what he understood of a dinner party, the size of the banquet in front of him seemed to be excessive.

Rather than a place where people are chatting and drinking, it is more like being in a bustling used car market. Buyers and sellers are sitting around a table as big as a car, wearing luxurious skirts and clothes, looking at the crowd in the distance and talking.

If two people unfortunately get separated during a banquet, it is best to make an appointment at a meeting place and try to arrive within an hour.

Cheng Jinzhou smiled bitterly at the unknown star warlock next to him: You are indeed very impressive.

It is a bit difficult to find a specific target among so many people.

Not only the star warlocks, but also nobles from the imperial court and localities came to the banquet. Some clergy from the church also came, and even businessmen were invited.

Of course, businessmen with a little bit of self-awareness will stay at the resting places on both sides of the road. On the one hand, they can chat with other businessmen, and on the other hand, they will not show their timidity when surrounded by nobles. Only a few with a deeper background Businessmen will appear at the main banquet venue, occasionally wandering around the edges.

Cheng Jinzhou's body is still in the developmental stage. Although he has recently improved his physique and has grown a little taller, compared with the adults and various burly men around him, he is still extremely thin. Under the dim light, he can easily be confused by people. among the group of aristocratic children.

Isu laughed loudly and said, It seems you guessed wrong.

It is obviously impossible for the outer peninsula to use such a large battle to deal with itself. Cheng Jinzhou understood in his heart, but refused to admit it: You just want to kill time in sarcasm?

I want to tell you that the energy fluctuations nearby are not small.

Is anyone using the Star Array?

Yisu laughed again and said: There are people everywhere using star formations nearby, but some people's star formations are particularly powerful.

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned for a moment, and Yi Su went to amuse himself.

In addition to Liu Kuang's Star Warlock Tower, there are also several other third-level Star Warlock Towers nearby, which can be said to be the core area of ​​the outer peninsula. Cheng Jinzhou turned around from bottom to top, but couldn't find anything abnormal.

In the current situation, with his star formation level, except for Ysu who could wake him up with a few words, it was completely dark.

The banquet was basically a buffet style, but the tables were not neatly placed. Instead, they are scattered among various decorations. People go from table to table and often find completely different food.

Men and women who climb up the narrow corridor to have an affair on the rockery will find a basin of fresh shellfish waiting for them; children who roll from the grass to the bushes will find some wrapped honey on the cotton cloth on the ground; the bridge over the creek Passing by, you will occasionally find a small boat full of barbecues on the water.

After discovering two or three interesting foods, Cheng Jinzhou took the search for special foods as today's theme. The scene of the banquet was so big that it was unexpected. The previous idea of ​​meeting Warlock Liu Kuangxing was stillborn. bingo.

As he walked, Xiao Cheng noticed that the flow of people around him was getting smaller and smaller. Just when he thought he was about to walk out of the main banquet area, several teenagers about his age appeared on the hillside ahead.

Who is it? A knight wearing half armor suddenly emerged from the grass, holding a dagger in his hand.

If he had been placed before time travel, the sharp sword might have scared away half of his courage.

But now, Cheng Jinzhou only needs to straighten his chest with the badge and shout: Be brave, kneel down.

In Daxia, knight can only be regarded as a transitional title. Because although they are the backbone of the empire, they do not have decisive value. Therefore, only a few knights who have obtained the title of Lord can be promoted to the power circle of the nobility.

As for a knight without a noble title, facing a star warlock, he had to slowly kneel down on the ground regardless of whether he wanted to or not.

There was nothing going on. Cheng Jinzhou looked at the knight in his twenties with great interest and said with a smile: You have offended the Star Warlock. You still dare to kneel down on one knee. What are you relying on?

The knight pursed his lips and remained silent, but dared to look directly at Cheng Jinzhou.

Are you really not afraid of death, or do you think I dare not kill you, or? Do you think I am so smart that I can guess your life experience and the source of the seed of your mother's pregnancy at once?

What he said was a bit complicated, and the knight didn't understand it for a while. When he figured it out and wanted to stand up, someone held his shoulders down again.

A young man with his hair tied in a bun looked at Cheng Jinzhou with sharp eyes and said, Friend, you have crossed the line.

Which line?

The young man was silent, looked at Cheng Jinzhou's badge for a while, and said, Are you the Cheng family's star warlock? The new two-star warlock?

Who are you?

You don't need to know...

Cheng Jinzhou quickly interrupted him and said, I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell me your name, I'll treat him like a passerby who doesn't know your name and kill him directly.

You dare? The young man was just an ordinary person, and he didn't expect that there would be a serious knight around him.

By the time the knight turned his head, Cheng Jinzhou was already floating in the air, flying higher and higher.

He was worried about being stabbed by the knight's flying dagger. Although such a story was as rare as a sniper shooting a helicopter, there was a chance after all.

The young man below didn't know that Cheng Jinzhou's auxiliary star array was more powerful the farther away it was. He only saw that the opponent had almost completed the preparations for the Star Warlock's attack, so even though he held his head high, he had to shout loudly: I am the fifth prince of Shanxu County of Daxia.

Cheng Jinzhou still maintained the attack status, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

It's a pity that his identity has been known to the other party, otherwise Cheng Jinzhou would have wanted to walk away.

After thinking for a while, he slowly lowered his height, cupped his hands and said, It turns out he is the fifth prince. Do you have any proof?

Let me prove it. It was the third prince who spoke. He was slightly older. He patted Prince Shanxu on the shoulder and smiled at him: Brother Jinzhou, I haven't seen you for a while.

His name is getting quieter and quieter every day.

Cheng Jinzhou had a good impression of the third prince and floated down slowly, but the star array on his arm was full of energy.

With the stability of his star line connection, attacking a knight within three meters can penetrate his armor and send his intestines into the river 20 meters away. Unless the princes are accompanied by star warlocks with high-level defense capabilities, they have no chance to escape.

Defending the star formation is far more difficult than attacking the star formation, and the effect is very small - no star warlock is willing to be a bodyguard for others, so even if they are trained by the royal family, sometimes it requires coincidence and cooperation with recruitment, and the number may not be enough. To be consumed by the princes.

After all, it is easy to give birth to a son, but difficult to raise a star warlock.

This is the Cheng Jinzhou Star Warlock I often mentioned to you. The third prince deliberately introduced him to his fifth brother.

The so-called Prince Shanxu looked at Cheng Jinzhou unkindly and said hello with unclear reluctance.

Cheng Jinzhou sighed in his heart, why have I never encountered such a good thing that turns a war into friendship?

Putting on an innocent smile, Cheng Jinzhou asked again: Who is this Lord Knight?

Several teenagers on the hillside came down. One of them heard his question and said in a very sarcastic tone: Is it possible that Lord Star Warlock can't find any followers?

The royal family is actually the most jealous of Star Warlocks. The jealousy of the elders is usually most likely to manifest itself in adolescent boys.

With someone backing him up, the knight himself laughed and said, I am the grandson of King Lunan...

The king of Lunan County is the cousin of Emperor Lizong. In the grandson generation, the blood relationship has faded to the point where he can no longer take care of his bastard. Knights are the best choice in this situation-serve for a certain number of years, or participate in a less fierce battle. In the war, you can naturally grab a noble seat. Such preferential treatment can only exist in the royal family.

Cheng Jinzhou slowly raised his arm.

If you cannot make your enemy respect you, make him fear you.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the hostile looks of several princes and thought silently in the world composed of black and white star maps.
