Chapter 118 Invitation from the Queen
"This shouldn't be your first time coming to the Federation, right?"
After getting off the plane, Song Yuanzheng asked Fang Hao beside him with a smile.
Fang Hao looked around and said with a smile: "I can only say that this is the first time that I have come in my true form." "
That's right." Song Yuanzheng couldn't help laughing and stopped talking about this topic in depth to avoid leaking anything.
Fang Hao had made dozens of trips back in the past, almost visiting the federal capital, and also followed the researchers by plane to research institutes in other cities.
This time the real body came, and there was a different feeling.
The people here are still the same, but because there is an extra queen, the whole country is different.
You are more arrogant and look down on people from other countries than before, even if you are a strong person in the imperial realm.
Fortunately, the people who came to greet him were not from the Federation, but from their own embassy.
A strong person in the imperial realm doesn't need any security, and no one dares to mess with the queen at this time.
The Queen wants to show her strength to the world and show her magnanimity as the leader of the empire.
If anyone tried to trick her at this time, she might not even be able to survive.
The banquet is scheduled to start at 12 noon, and it is only 10 am now. They will stay at the embassy first to discuss some things in advance.
The two people and their entourage got into the black car, and the motorcade slowly drove towards the embassy.
A large number of media reporters have gathered in front of the embassy, and they immediately took pictures when they saw the car coming.
On both sides of the road were compatriots living in the Federation and studying abroad, holding banners, waving flags, or holding flowers. They burst into cheers as soon as they saw the car approaching.
The convoy slowed down as a result.
"How about we open the window and show our faces?" Song Yuanzheng suggested, looking at the Chinese people cheering for joy on both sides of the road.
When I come to the banquet this time, I will definitely appear in front of the global media.
Since he is going to show up, there is no need to hide now.
The middle-aged man in the front passenger seat smiled and said: "Just open the window, but don't get out of the car. Roll up the window when you are approaching the door, otherwise the reporters will annoy you to death." The car drove directly
. When entering the embassy gate, the press conference was blocked by guards.
Song Yuanzheng, who was sitting on the right, rolled down his window, smiled and waved to the crowd on the right side of the road.
"Why don't you open the window and say hello to your compatriots over there."
"Okay." Fang Hao smiled, rolled down the left window, and waved to the compatriots on the left side of the road.
The appearance of the two people made the cheers of the Chinese people on both sides of the road even louder, and they waved flags and shouted slogans even more excitedly.
Both of them were wearing military uniforms, which was also one of the reasons.
Who doesn’t want their country to be tougher on the outside world?
Isn't sending soldiers here just to show a tough attitude?
Fang Hao accompanied him on the mission, but his military rank was too low, so he was promoted to major.
This military rank is sufficient for this mission. It is not too high and will not attract much attention.
As the motorcade got closer and closer to the embassy gate, the middle-aged man in the front seat hurriedly turned around and said, "Reporters are coming up. Close the windows quickly."
Song Yuanzheng and Fang Hao both rolled up their windows.
The reporters gathered around and asked all kinds of random questions, regardless of whether the people in the car could hear or understand.
The cameraman didn't care what he could take, so he just pointed at the car window and took pictures.
Fortunately, as soon as the car drove through the gate, the guards stopped them.
After entering the embassy, I met with some overseas representatives. When we finally started chatting secretly, it was already half past ten.
It started at 12 o'clock and they should rush there before 11:30. There was not much time left for them.
Of course, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared before departure. Now I just need to confirm it and see if there is any additional information that needs to be added.
After confirmation, at 11 o'clock, Fang Hao and Song Yuanzheng got into the car again and set off for the palace.
Each participating Imperial Realm expert is allowed to bring an interpreter and an adjutant into the banquet hall.
Fang Hao naturally came as Song Yuanzheng's adjutant. Sometimes Song Yuanzheng couldn't show up, so he was needed.
If it is not convenient for Song Yuanzheng to say it, he needs to say it.
The translator is a graceful, dignified, gentle and intellectual middle-aged woman. She always has a slight smile on her lips and is very kind.
The three of them entered the venue together. Song Yuanzheng and Fang Hao both took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray.
Some of the emperor-level experts who arrived first saw them coming and immediately came over, chatting or just clinking glasses.
There was nothing interesting to say in the small talk before the meeting, and no one would be stupid enough to talk about confidential and sensitive topics here.
However, other Emperor Realm experts showed unusual interest in Fang Hao after seeing that he was so young and his aura was not very strong.
For such an important banquet, since a veteran is sent, it is obviously impossible to send a useless young man.
What's the use of Fang Hao?
They are naturally curious.
But they couldn't get any useful information from Fang Hao.
After all, this is the first time "Luo Hao" has appeared in public, and he is still a person without a past. They can't even hope to find any information.
As the imperial realm experts sent from various countries entered the venue one after another, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, even suffocating.
Because more than 20 emperor-level experts from the federation also gradually walked into the hall.
They did not bring a translator or adjutant.
But the aura on his body and the expression on his face were all filled with a touch of pride.
And this domineering and condescending attitude gradually made the atmosphere at the venue tense.
"(Everyone, please put down the wine glasses in your hands, and let us welcome Her Majesty the Queen together!)"
Hank Porter, the host of the banquet, spoke slowly, and the female translator translated this sentence to Song Yuanzheng and Fang Hao.
But the two just looked at each other and didn't take it seriously.
Welcome?
How to welcome him?
Bow and stoop? Or kneel down and worship?
The Queen is only the Queen of the Federation, not the Queen of all mankind, let alone the Queen of Yanxia.
But out of etiquette, the wine glass in your hand must be put down.
Waiters passed by attendees, who placed their glasses on their trays.
After the wine glasses were put away, the queen, wearing a white dress and a crown, walked slowly into the venue from the door of the banquet hall.
"(Welcome the Queen!)"
The emperor-level experts in the Federation did not kneel down to greet her on the spot, but only bent down and lowered their heads to show respect.
After all, we are having a banquet now, and in front of so many media and cameras, these emperor-level experts can't keep their faces down.
And there will definitely be those who don’t kneel. When the time comes, half kneeling and half standing, won’t it make the Federation’s emperor-level powerful dwarves look more like they are?
Therefore, during this banquet, the Queen did not ask to kneel down and worship.
Some of the Imperial Realm experts from other countries bowed their heads, some looked around to see what others were doing, and some stood straight.
The Queen walked slowly from the center line of the banquet hall to the dazzling golden throne prepared for her and inlaid with various gems.
The golden throne is placed on a high platform, which is completely covered by an exquisite and gorgeous red carpet. There are three steps, about half a meter high.
The thirty-meter distance, combined with her slow pace and divine aura that exuded spiritual coercion with a smile, brought huge psychological pressure to the participants.
Suddenly, the Queen, who was halfway walking, stopped, turned her head slightly, and looked at a participant on the left.
This glance immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience and eased the depressing atmosphere a lot.
Because after following the Queen's gaze and seeing the attendee, everyone was a little speechless.
Many people looked strange and murmured secretly in their hearts.
The powerful emperors in the federation also felt strange.
The cameras in the venue shifted to take pictures of the participant who stood upright without bending or lowering his head.
Two seconds later, the Queen withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards the golden throne.
Her pace seemed to quicken.
The mental pressure seems to be gone?
The participants all felt a bit strange and looked at each other in confusion.
"Flat body."
The Queen sat elegantly on the golden throne, holding the armrests with both hands, nodding lightly to the attendees, and then glanced at the attendee.
This glance was immediately keenly captured by everyone present, and they looked again.
Does the Queen like this? Everyone couldn't help but think.
It seems like this is the only young man among the attendees?
Others look young, but in fact most of them are already in their seventies or eighties.
Song Yuanzheng turned his head slightly and looked at Fang Hao with a strange smile.
Will aliens interact with each other?
Could it be that you two are fellow villagers?
Or do I just like this handsome guy like you?
"Thank you for being invited." The Queen sat on the golden throne, holding the armrests with both hands, leaning slightly to the right, showing a beautiful but somewhat scornful smile.
"It's a pity that I invited all the emperor-level experts, but only less than a quarter of them came.
I went to hunt two sea beast kings, but I couldn't finish them all, so I was a little disappointed." He
came up with a show of disdain, letting the attendees All the non-federal imperial realm powerhouses felt their hearts sinking.
Sure enough, it’s still Hongmen Banquet. This beast king meat is not so delicious.
It is now being broadcast live around the world. Once the Queen's words are broadcast, it can be said to crush the world.
"Let's serve." The Queen nodded gently to Hank Porter beside her, and then smiled lightly at everyone present.
"This banquet is just a banquet, and we won't talk about any major events involving all mankind. Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content, and eat as much Beast King meat as you want." A
country that is willing to surrender is worthy of this banquet.
Countries that will not surrender will not vote because of this banquet.
So she didn't plan to talk about any big topics at the meeting from the beginning. This banquet was just to show her strength and magnanimity.
"In addition, all participants, regardless of gender, age, or level of strength, can take a bottle of [Regeneration] potion back after the meeting." "This is a gift from the
emperor. You can distribute it yourself."
After hearing this, everyone present said, Different expressions.
Song Yuanzheng and Fang Hao looked at each other and nodded lightly.
The Queen obviously thinks that other countries cannot build extraordinary engines, so the potions can be given freely, but you can't copy them even if you give them a few bottles.
But with these three bottles of medicine, after the domestic extraordinary engine is built and the physical medicine is studied, mass production can be achieved at a faster speed.
This time is also critical and can shorten the time to achieve mass production.
Fang Hao originally wanted to see who still had the regeneration potion distributed before, so he summoned a clone to quietly take it away and let the country study it in advance.
There is no need to take this risk now, the Queen will give it away for free!
Now it's really a waste of money.
Waiters kept bringing in a small round dining table with a diameter of more than one meter, covered with a red tablecloth with exquisite embroidery, and three matching chairs.
Then the waiter brought delicious dishes cooked with the beast king meat and placed them one by one on the small table.
Of course, a variety of fine wines are also indispensable.
It seems that the Queen asked everyone to come, and she really just came to have a meal.
But her goal has been achieved.
What did she pay?
Some beast king meat, some fine wine, and dozens of bottles of [regeneration] potions.
To her, these things were just a drop in the bucket.
But the deterrence and conquest effects gained are first-class.
The Beast King can eat his meat as he pleases and not talk about state affairs. I just invite you to have a meal. It's a pity that you only dare to send so many people.
This is an unparalleled suppression of the countries that are willing to resist.
I am not afraid that you will become stronger after eating the meat of the Beast King, and I am not afraid that it will be difficult for you to deal with it after drinking the extraordinary potion.
This is strong confidence.
This is also the magnanimity of an emperor.
If you take the opportunity to suppress, you will lose this magnanimity.
"Want to eat?" After Song Yuanzheng took his seat, he looked at Fang Hao.
"Eat." Fang Hao nodded, "It won't poison us."
Besides, he had predicted the future before, and they could go home for the New Year.
It was that year that was a bit strange.
He turned his head and looked at the Queen on the golden throne.
The queen, who was carefully slicing meat with a knife and fork, sensed his gaze and looked over.
There was also a small dining table placed in front of the Queen, but it was rectangular and covered with exquisite and elegant red cloth.
Seeing Fang Hao looking at her, she turned her head and said something to Ednas who was standing beside her.
Ednas walked down the steps and walked towards the cameramen who were still filming and live broadcasting.
It was already dinner time and the Queen had nothing to say, so there was no need to take any more pictures.
What the Queen wants to do and what she wants to say to the attendees after eating is not suitable for publication.
After all, it’s not very friendly to the whole world.
This banquet is indeed just a banquet. Emperor-level experts are invited to eat the meat of the Beast Emperor to show their strength.
But after eating, what should be said and the attitude should be expressed clearly.
This does not mean that we should suppress them on the spot, but we should tell everyone in the meeting and the countries behind them what the price of resistance will be, and let them think about it after the meeting is over and when they return home.
These words are only suitable for the upper echelons of various countries. If they are broadcast live, or filmed and posted on TV or the Internet, it will damage the Queen's glorious and beautiful image.
After Idenas turned off the cameras and dismissed the cameramen, only the real "attendees" were left in the venue.
Even the waiters left the banquet hall.
Idenas returned to the white jade platform and was beside the Queen. The Queen said something to him again, causing him to frown and look at Fang Hao.
He doesn't understand and becomes jealous.
He seemed to have really become the Queen's "attendant", being ordered around.
But his original intention was to pursue the Queen, win the Queen's heart, and achieve success in one step, so he tried his best to serve the Queen wholeheartedly, and made sure to do everything the Queen asked him to do perfectly.
As a result, now I have truly become a "slave" in the eyes of the Queen?
He was angry but didn't dare show it.
He was angry but didn't dare show it.
He was jealous but still didn't dare to show it.
He could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, came to Fang Hao's table, and forced a smile: "Sir, the Queen invites you to sit over." "...
"
There were still some sounds of talking, chewing, and clinking glasses just now. The banquet hall was quiet for a moment, as if it had fallen into a vacuum.
And everyone seemed to be petrified, with stiff expressions and stiff bodies.
Queen, is she really a girl?
Song Yuanzheng forked a piece of freshly cut meat and grinned.
"Go."
He knew that the Queen probably sensed something from Fang Hao, and realized that this might be a "person" at the same level as himself.
Instead of asking him to sit over and have lunch with him because he is handsome.
If the Queen were so childish, she would no longer be the Queen.
fine. he thinks.
When Fang Hao sat on it, he was considered to be on an equal footing with the Queen.
None of the emperor-level experts present were so stupid as to think that the empress, a powerful person in the divine realm, would ask Fang Hao to come up and be on an equal footing with them just because of her skin.
From the moment he brought Fang Hao into the venue, there were already many Emperor Realm experts who showed curiosity and interest in Fang Hao.
And now, the Queen's invitation has deepened their curiosity and interest in Fang Hao.
There is also fear.
This matter, and this person, are definitely a threat in the eyes of the Federation's Emperor Realm powerhouses!
The Queen asked Fang Hao to dine at the same table, indicating that she recognized Fang Hao as a person of the same level as herself.
But Fang Hao's aura was obviously so weak that anyone present could easily crush him to death.
why?
Why did the Queen extend an invitation to him to dine at the same table?
Fang Hao glanced at the queen, stood up, carried the chair, climbed onto the high platform in a few steps, and placed the chair on the side.
In view of his status as a soldier, he first saluted the Queen as a sign of etiquette before sitting down.
Idenas did not bring up his cutlery.
Bringing used cutlery to the Queen's table is an insult! It's blasphemy!
He turned to look at the other tables, went to get a set of tableware that no one had used, and delivered it to the dining table on the white jade platform.
He picked up the champagne bottle and poured champagne into Fang Hao's slender goblet.
Then he stood beside the Queen, fully demonstrating his professionalism as an "attendant".
"Idenas, you should go and enjoy lunch too." The queen turned her head and smiled at him.
These words and this smile immediately cheered him up and made him feel that what he had just done was worth it!
"Yes, I respect your order." He bowed slightly to the Queen and walked to Hank Potter's table.
Hank Porter originally looked down upon him.
But now I admire him quite a lot.
All the powerful emperors in the Federation knew what he wanted in his heart.
Now faced with this situation, he actually did not have an attack. He still did his duty and completed his work well.
I have to say that this is a real man who takes the overall situation into consideration and understands the general situation!
He winked at an Emperor Realm expert at the table, and that person picked up his cutlery, stood up, and sat at another table.
This is not to give Ednas face, but to give face to the Queen.
After all, he is also a close confidant of the Queen, and he should sit with Hank Potter, the second most powerful person in the Federation.
There is no need for others to offend him for a seat.
Moreover, what they were more curious about at this moment was, apart from being handsome, what kind of charm did that young man have that could actually make the Queen issue an invitation to be "an equal"?
On the table, Fang Hao picked up his knife and fork and cut off a small piece from the large piece of roasted beast king meat placed on the large plate in the center of the table.
He didn't know what the Queen sensed from him.
Just eat and that's it.
