Chapter 162: Falling out with the Baron [Please subscribe]
I saw golden subtitles floating through Chen Xuan's mind.
[Charcoal slightly charred roasted leg of lamb]
[Magatan City’s secret thick sauce chicken liver braised with apple cider pickled white mushrooms]
[Bee sugar and fruit vinegar baked black forest wild boar tenderloin]
[Exquisite braised wasteland braised pork tenderloin] Beef with crispy bread]
[Boiled Amber Lake freshwater crayfish]
[Rolled vegetables with slightly sweet mushroom soup]
[Start appetizer chicken crispy box]
…
[Appetizing chicken crispy box mixed with sleepy grass juice]
… …
Chen Xuan’s gaze was like a torch, scanning every dish and drink on the table.
It made him feel a little dazed.
[Insight] The feedback information allows him to grasp the status of these foods in real time.
For example, at the end, he discovered a strange food.
It was an appetizer, and it was placed in front of Mrs. Zuzana's table.
The banquet had a large portion of dishes, including some strange-looking dishes and ingredients.
You don't have to do anything yourself to get whatever dishes you want. There is a dedicated maid standing next to each person.
They will use common utensils to take out meals of appropriate portions according to everyone's requirements and put them on their own plates.
It's completely one-to-one luxury service.
Only appetizers and snacks before meals are served separately.
And here lies the problem.
But apart from the Baroness's appetizers, there was nothing wrong with the food in front of everyone else.
Ophelia glanced at Chen Xuan, who nodded gently.
This made the half-elf lady immediately understand.
Before attending the banquet, the master and servant had a series of discussions and agreements.
Chen Xuan will take care of most of the details for her, and she only needs to perform tonight's drama well.
When everyone's wine glasses on the table are filled with wine.
Ophelia took the initiative to raise her glass.
The red-haired Yusula stared at her with a gloomy smile and raised her glass.
They are guests and should observe necessary banquet etiquette.
Then Baron Bezos and Mrs. Zuzana, who were the hosts, raised their glasses generously.
"Thank you Mr. Bezos for your hospitality."
"The first glass of wine at the dinner, respectful Mr. Bezos and Mrs. Zuzana."
"I wish you both a long life and good health!"
...
Ophelia said loudly, especially Sulla also said a few kind words.
Then the four of them clinked their glasses together and each took a sip, completing the process of opening the dinner wine.
"No need to be polite, please enjoy the dinner."
Baron Bezos greeted again and looked at Ophelia and Ursula respectively.
After he spoke, everyone picked up their knives and forks, and the maid serving beside them began to prepare food.
The tempting aroma of food wafts in the air.
Chen Xuan stood by the wall, observing the situation at all times.
The Baron's castle is shrouded in unknown magical interference, so he is unable to sense space.
After Ophelia got his signal, she ate with peace of mind.
The continent of Naroa is not primitive. Even if the exquisite meal in front of you were placed in Blue Star, the per capita price would not be more than a few thousand yuan, not to mention the alien maids who would serve it specially.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very strange. No one spoke for the first few minutes.
Ursula was cutting a piece of roast lamb leg with a knife and fork, staring at Ophelia while cutting, without concealing her fierce eyes.
The baron and his wife turned a blind eye to this, and instead talked in low voices.
Ophelia, who was in the whirlpool, looked calm. She slowly picked up a piece of tenderloin and put it into her mouth to chew.
The dullness did not last long. Mrs. Zuzana touched her belly just after finishing the appetizers.
Then he let out a long yawn.
"Phew..."
"I'm a little sleepy."
"I feel sleepy so early today."
Her eyes were already a little confused. After putting down the tableware, Baron Bezos winked, and a waiter came forward immediately. He helped Mrs. Zuzana and sent her into the room to rest.
After she left the scene, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Chen Xuan found that both Baron Bezos and Ursula breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
It seemed that with the departure of Mrs. Zuzana, some of the hindrance factors no longer existed.
"Ahem..."
"Miss Ophelia."
Baron Bezos coughed lightly and was the first to speak.
Ursula wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, trying her best to suppress her hatred.
Ophelia had almost finished eating at this time. She silently put down her cutlery and cutlery, turned to look at the Baron, nodded in greeting and replied: "Please tell me."
She probably knew what the Baron wanted to ask.
Baron Bezos gently raised the corners of his mouth to reveal an elegant smile, and then slowly spoke.
"As a local lord, Baron of the Kingdom, I have the responsibility to confirm some information with you." "
About the source of the magic tears of the White Rose Caravan."
"Do you hold a distribution license issued by the Royal Alchemy Association?"
His The smile was warm and the tone was relaxed, without showing any aggressive side.
But there is a hidden edge in his words.
This is a plan to use the authority of the lord of Magtan City to issue an official inquiry to Ophelia.
But Ophelia flipped her pale blond hair from the side of her face and shrugged as usual.
"Currently, the White Rose Caravan's daily shipments of magic tears are no more than 2,000." "
According to law, this quantity does not require a distribution license." "
In addition, all operating income of the White Rose Caravan must be paid to the city on time. Commercial tax."
She picked up the drink and took a slow sip.
These business strategies have long been planned by shrewd halfling stewards.
Both the legal principles of the Kingdom of Duroa and the normal business rules are impeccable.
In response to this answer, Baron Bezos showed an expression that was indeed true.
"You have inherited Mr. Ansetus' shrewdness."
"I wonder if Miss Ophelia has any ideas to expand the scale of shipments in the near future?"
"Magtan City Trading Company can cooperate with you and sell more magic tears in stock every day without any obligation." "
You only need to follow the normal Just give the goods at the retail price."
Baron Bezos started from the basics and took the initiative to bring the topic to the sales of Magic Tears.
But this is obviously not his real purpose.
But Ophelia shook her head and said in a regretful tone.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the stock of White Rose's Magic Tears is limited." "
So it's temporarily impossible to expand the quantity shipped each Naroa Day."
She didn't intend to agree to any of the other party's requests, and was aiming to talk the topic to death. go.
Baron Bezos pondered for a moment and then continued.
"Then the supplier of magic tears..."
"Sorry, this is the secret of the White Rose Caravan."
Ophelia interrupted him rudely, further clarifying her attitude.
Having said that, many things are self-evident.
"Hehehe..."
Baron Bezos laughed, picked up a piece of toast on the table and ate it.
"I took the liberty."
"Please continue with your meal."
He clapped his hands, and immediately a maid replenished the wine for everyone.
At the same time, the kitchen also brought some desserts.
The snow-white pudding is drizzled with some yellow honey, glowing alluringly under the white spar chandelier.
Chen Xuan used [Insight] to scan it as usual.
Immediately, golden information emerged.
[Honey milk pudding mixed with dream vine juice]
...
This is the message displayed by the dessert placed in front of Ophelia.
And at the same time, there were thin footsteps coming from the door and terrace of the restaurant.
Looking at the desserts on the table, Ophelia looked at Chen Xuan again.
Chen slowly shook his head and tilted his head slightly to the right, which was a posture that represented danger and vigilance.
Seeing this, Ophelia didn't dare to neglect, she pushed the pudding plate forward, and her other hand seemingly casually touched the space storage bracelet on her wrist.
No one says you have to have dessert after a meal.
But this move made Baron Bezos and red-haired Yusula frown immediately.
The snake steward was spitting out the letter, holding a small copper bell in his hand behind his back.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became tense. Chen Xuan thought about communicating with the storage compartment and was ready to take out the [Thunder Surge] sword at any time.
In such an occasion, the M2 heavy machine gun may not be as useful as a magic sword.
After all, he is also a silver-level powerhouse, and he has incredible [plug-in] abilities at his side, so he can quickly counterattack in an emergency.
Baron Bezos rapped his knuckles on the table.
The remaining chairs he and Yusula quickly moved back as if they were loaded and slipped.
At the same time, straps appeared on Ophelia's chair, binding her hands, feet, waist, abdomen and neck.
The snake waiters immediately leaned towards Chen Xuan and drew out the cold curved dagger with their backhand.
The snake steward on the other side gently shook the copper bell.
"Dingling bells..."
"Bang!"
"Crash!"
The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a group of Bangcheng garrison wearing armor walked into the restaurant quickly.
There were also noises from the four terraces next to the restaurant. Ranger archers wearing cloaks and holding crossbows and longbows surrounded the restaurant.
"Hehehehe!"
"Little bitch!"
"Let's see where you're going to run away!"
After breaking out, Yusula, who had been holding it in for a long time, laughed wildly.
She stood up and walked to Baron Bezos, and took his arm affectionately.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ophelia, I don't want to do this either."
"But you are too stubborn."
"Now, please tell me the supplier behind the magic tears of the White Rose Caravan, and the source of Ansetus' Where are you, I can consider letting you go."
Baron Bezos took out the napkin from his chest and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Yusula next to him looked vicious, but did not interrupt again. It was obvious that they had reached a consensus.
The situation seemed to have suddenly become irreversible.
Chen Xuan used the corner of his eye to glance at the daggers on his left and right sides at his throat, as well as the crossbow shooters around him.
A conservative estimate would be that there were at least twenty or thirty shooters targeting him and Ophelia.
As long as the two of them dare to act rashly, they will be shot into a sieve in the next second.
It has been made clear that this is a Hongmen Banquet.
It is actually very simple to solve the crisis at the frontier, cheating can solve the problem.
All the methods used by Baron Bezos and Ursula are in line with common sense.
Only plug-ins are truly unreasonable!
Chen Xuan stared, took out the [Thunder Surge] battle sword, and then activated [Time Suspension] within a billionth of a second.
Invisible space ripples rippled out in an instant.
The current [Time Stop] lasts for five seconds, and Chen Xuan can activate it more times in succession when his energy is full.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as he is willing, he can control the enemy until death!
Without any delay, the [Thunder Surge] sword in Chen Xuan's hand burst out with thunder.
Huge thunder arcs swept around, and the snake waiters standing on the left and right sides were immediately pushed away. Pure white copper-level magic appeared on the surface of the body, which quickly dimmed under the sweep of the lightning arcs.
Chen Xuan poured a large amount of magic into [Thunder Surge], allowing the sword to exert its due power.
After getting away, he immediately rushed towards Baron Bezos without the garrison and shooters around him.
To capture the thief, capture the thief king first. As long as the baron is captured, the ambush at the scene will not be a concern.
Five seconds is not a long time, but the mobility of a silver-level powerhouse is not limited either.
With the blessing of magic, Chen Xuan could advance several meters with every step, and the solid stone ground was also stirring up dust.
When he came to Baron Bezos, the [Thunder Surge] sword in his hand suddenly struck out.
The lightning arc spread like tree branches. If viewed from a distance, it seemed as if a bolt of thunder had struck the Baron.
The clothes on his body were burned, but a layer of light green magic soon emerged.
[Time Stop] is undoubtedly a very incredible [plug-in] effect.
It can even prevent automatic protective magic jewelry from functioning.
But it cannot limit the magic of magic.
Because magic element is a power that belongs to the individual, its body protection rules have a very high priority.
In some ways it even exceeds time.
Even if a magician practitioner is in a scene where there is no passage of time or changes in space, the magic body protection can still function as usual.
At least that's the case in Naloa.
Therefore, this sword only caused some damage to the baron's dress, and also consumed about one-tenth of Bezos's protective magic.
After the first [Time Stop] effect ended, Chen Xuan immediately fired another shot.
The [Thunder Surge] sword in his hand kept slashing at Baron Bezos.
The layer of light green body-protecting magic became fainter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The magic element is indeed a turtle shell, but there is no reason why it cannot be penetrated if it stops at the moment!
"Boom!"
The same level was fighting each other, which was not too difficult for Chen Xuan.
After only two rounds of [Time Suspension], the magic energy in Baron Bezos was exhausted.
Just when Chen Xuan continued another round of [Time Stop], quickly took off his accessories, and put the sword on his neck, a sudden change occurred.
When the tip of the sword touched Baron Bezos' skin, the next moment a blue light flickered on the spot.
That is the light that represents the singularity of space.
Chen Xuan watched helplessly as Baron Bezos disappeared!
The other party had a back-up plan and actually escaped from the control of [Time Suspension].
Left the scene and disappeared!
However, this backhand did not completely get rid of the restriction of time stop, it just ran away!
