Chapter 1018 The banquet begins.
The banquet is also held inside the castle.
After receiving the notice, Ronald, who had nothing to prepare, immediately left the room with Costat.
Under the leadership of [Nikos].
They only walked a few hundred meters inside the castle, and after going around several buildings with different functions, they saw the venue where the banquet was held.
It was different from the few banquets Ronald had attended in the past.
[Nikos] The banquet venue for entertaining distinguished guests did not have any indoor parts, but chose an open-air circular square as the venue. Ronald looked around carefully and quickly determined the basic shape of this place.
This is a dish-shaped basin with a generally circular outline. It is neatly cut and each bluestone brick is large enough for one person to sit on it and is laid out in a stepped manner. On top of it is the banquet structure that will be added later.
Putting aside these redundant buildings, you can actually see a lot of things similar to the style of the Roman Congress Square.
Follow the waiter's instructions and take your seat.
As the strongest level one spellcaster among the guests, Ronald's position was arranged to Claudia's right. After briefly greeting the princess, Ronald heard Costate behind him reminding him in a low voice:
"Sir, during the banquet last night, I discovered that there seemed to be something underneath the ground here."
"Oh?" Ronald nodded imperceptibly.
Then his attention turned to the bottom. Ronald's reconnaissance spell did not find any gaps in the terrain under the ground, and there was no reaction to the magic power fluctuations.
But only the soul-based ability from "The Divine Comedy - Heaven Chapter" allowed Ronald to detect some subtle reactions.
In this place that is now used as a banquet venue.
In fact, there are a certain number of souls sleeping. Even if they are inactive at the moment, Ronald can feel the desire to fight hidden in these souls while sitting peacefully on the ground.
"..."
Ronald's expression changed.
Based on the knowledge he has mastered, the souls in this world that can leave traces after death must be very emotional before death, or the obsession cannot be resolved. They are definitely rare existences; and according to the situation Ronald is currently sensing, ...There must be many dead people buried here.
A sunken circular square.
And there are also a lot of warrior souls sleeping there.
The entire castle once served as a military fortress.
When the three conditions came together, Ronald immediately realized the past purpose of this place - a place of execution for prisoners, or a gladiatorial arena for people to watch life-and-death duels.
The royal family of [Nikos] now uses this kind of place as a banquet venue.
It really makes people don’t know how to evaluate it.
Although he had mixed feelings, Ronald still did not express his opinion on this.
After all, this is the castle of the [Nikos] royal family.
Since the small anomaly under the ground is not a trap for Greed personnel, he, as a guest, will naturally not be too troublesome.
It was getting late now, and the people at [Nikos] had no intention of keeping the guests waiting here. Only three or five minutes after Ronald took his seat, there was a sound of footsteps on the road leading deeper into the castle.
before these people arrived.
Claudia, who was on Ronald's left, seemed to be interested, and then introduced to Ronald:
"Ronald, those over there are members of the royal family of [Nikos], I remember you should know some of them, right?" ?"
"The Countess and I met in the Springs before. I don't know if we can see each other again this time."
Ronald responded to Claudia and turned to look at the same time.
The result...
although the mood was a little turbulent, it was also reasonable.
[Nikos] The people attending the banquet here are naturally the Countess Leticia and her prince husband, and just behind the two of them, Luna, who Ronald just got rid of yesterday, is there.
"Haha..."
"If you think about it carefully, it's not a problem."
In the process of getting along with herself, Luna's performance in various aspects reflected her identity. It's just that I don't know what the child's status is in the royal family, so I dared to take such a step of escaping yesterday.
And Ronald also had doubts in his mind.
He knew Countess Leticia's abilities well. A small thing can make a big difference. The magic possessed by the [Nikos] royal family should not be weak either. So in yesterday's experience, why did Luna say that she had no combat capabilities?
"Ronald, are you curious about that girl?"
Ronald set his sights on Luna, and it was impossible for Claudia, who was talking to him, not to notice. So Her Royal Highness the Princess smiled slightly and immediately reported the other party's information:
"This is Leticia's daughter Filia. I heard that she was in poor health yesterday and did not attend the banquet. She came to the banquet today after her health improved. And don't It seems that she is only fourteen years old this year - all the young heroes who have seen the beauty of this princess are lining up to pursue her."
Claudia's introduction was very grand.
But in the eyes of Ronald, who was familiar with her, there was something unnatural about it.
Ronald thought briefly and immediately reminded in a low voice:
"Claudia, you are actually not very old. Don't imitate His Majesty Danterian's speech in private." "
..."
Ronald absolutely couldn't. Unexpectedly, I was reminded like this.
——Claudia unexpectedly lost her composure!
When the princess heard this, her face turned red after being stunned for two seconds, obviously very embarrassed.
But Claudia has been trained in royal life since she was a child.
This kind of gaffe only lasted for one breath, and Claudia adjusted her expression again, and she no longer looked the same as before.
"Ronald, you are so brave!"
"Even in Greed, there are not many people who would talk to me like this."
Claudia seemed to be scolding Ronald, but her eyes The smile in her face was not concealed.
Seeing Her Royal Highness the Princess's expression, Ronald apologized understandingly:
"Then I'm really sorry, my respected Princess..."
Suddenly, Ronald's voice trailed off.
Because he suddenly realized that after Claudia introduced the mother-daughter relationship between Luna and the Countess, an issue that could not be ignored was placed in front of him.
Ronald was thinking about it for a while, and soon couldn't help but ask:
"Wait, Claudia! That countess...I remember she was less than thirty this year?"
"Discussing the age of a lady, That's not polite behavior." Claudia scolded Ronald again, but at the same time, she made two numbers for Ronald with her fingers under the dining table.
Two, eight...
The countess is twenty-eight years old, and her daughter Luna is fourteen.
So when she was fourteen years old, Countess Leticia had already given birth to Luna, and her pregnancy time for Luna had to be pushed back one year!
"..."
At this time, Luna's eyes happened to spot Ronald at the banquet.
Faced with the strange look in the girl's eyes.
Ronald's current mood became weird in this unspeakable state.
