Chapter 267 Dinner after the dance

When she heard this sentence, Corina's brain suddenly began to tremble.

She could tell that these ambiguous words were not a true confession, but contained some profound meaning.

The girl wanted to explore it, so she started thinking hard.

If her brain were compared to ancient alchemy equipment at this moment, then her brain would definitely burst out with brilliant sparks due to the high-speed rotation at this moment. However, the old vessels were abandoned precisely because their functions could no longer adapt to current measurement tests.

, so no matter how much she uses her brain to its extreme, she still cannot calculate the result.

This is not her fault, it is just because there is too much missing information, and under the law of equivalent exchange, no one can make something out of nothing.

After a moment of silence, Corina finally chose to ask directly: "What does this mean?"

"It's nothing," Lin En blinked, "it's just a strategy that I hope can cope with the 'test'."

"Is this part of your plan again?" Corinna raised the corners of her lips to reveal a sneer, but was not prepared to continue exploring.

But because they were being watched by the people around them at the moment, she couldn't just treat them coldly, so she had to force herself to change the subject.

"What did the dance just now mean? You haven't answered me yet."

"This is it."

Lin En smiled and said: "Your father asked you to invite me to dance because he wanted to use the pressure of others to reveal my true form. In that case, it's just a matter of making others afraid to come forward."

"As long as you are good enough, no one wants to become a stepping stone for the other person unless they are mentally retarded."

"Of course, this actually has side effects." After a pause, he said, "I guess no one will invite you to dance again."

"I don't like dancing either." Corinna said angrily.

She actually didn't attend many dances, and she basically only danced the required dance every time. It was with her brother, Lin En, who was her only dance partner other than her relatives. When she thought of Hester's dance,

Corina felt a dull pain in the instep of her foot.

Shaking her head, Corina let go of the other party's hand and prepared to return to the Duke's side.

The dance is just an opening performance for entertainment and relaxation. The night has just started and the main meal has not been served yet.

After Corina left, Lin En also returned to his position, but this time, he could no longer remain as unknown as before.

Almost everyone was looking at him vaguely. Although he was not in the center of the hall, he was undoubtedly the focus of the audience.

Of course, focus is never static.

After several dances ended, the light in the dome became rich again. Attendants wearing white shirts and black vests rolled out dining carts with dazzling contents and poured in from all directions. Soon, the dance floor was transformed into a restaurant.

Lin En did not eat dinner, but only took a few bites to keep herself from being hungry. Then she took a refreshing mint water and waited for the official performance to begin.

About half an hour after the meal started, everyone had at least filled their stomachs, so the Duke stood on the stage where the musicians had been.

"Everyone."

The slightly old-fashioned and serious voice spread through the entire audience through the coercion of magic. At the same moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the high platform.

At this time, Duke Christian stood on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking down at the audience, his eyebrows were as sharp as a goshawk, and he looked very majestic.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy that you can come to the banquet hosted by me. I am very happy."

The corners of his bearded lips seemed to slightly curl up in response to his words, but the movement was very subtle, so subtle that it was inaudible.

"I originally thought that some of them might reject my invitation due to various factors. No, I shouldn't say rejection, inconvenience is a more appropriate word - in short, since everyone is here, then it's all me.

Friend of Lo Christine."

Duke Christian stopped talking and bowed slightly.

"Thank you all for your support."

"."

The venue was silent for a while, and then suddenly burst into enthusiastic sounds. Some people cheered for Duke Christine, while others just applauded with a smile on their faces.

As for whether it is sincere or not, and how much sincerity it is, no one cares.

"alright."

Duke Christian pressed his hands gently to suppress the noise around him, and his face finally became serious.

"Of course, the reason why I invite you to go to such a big expense to come to this party is not just for fun - you are all going to achieve great things, and I believe you are not willing to waste time on meaningless exchanges."

"This gathering of everyone is actually mainly for one thing."

"As you all know, the trends in the kingdom have been unpredictable recently, and the originally peaceful and peaceful life is about to be doomed to conflict and war. We are all peace-loving people, and no one wants their family to be involved in this inexplicable commotion.

"

After a pause, the Duke changed the topic: "But do you think that with only our personal strength and ability, we can remain calm and calm in this storm sweeping the entire kingdom?"

"No." Someone answered from the audience.

Regardless of whether this was a pretext for flattery or not, what he said was indeed the truth.

Except for Christine, who was patting her chest to ensure that she could retain a place in the storm of power transition, most of the others present were burial objects that were turned into dregs by the storm just after being involved. The only way to avoid this storm is to find a way.

A big tree that can protect them.

Everyone has already speculated on what Duke Christine will say next.

"So, I would like to invite everyone to officially join us." Duke Christian clenched his fists. "Only if we unite as one and work as one, can we fight for our children and even our own future."

"We should unite!"

"."

There were very few reactions to Duke Christine's "inspiring" speech. Those who responded were all Christine's die-hard fans and losers. No matter what the master said, they would naturally support that kind of speech.

.

As for why there was so little response.

It's very simple. You are indeed a big tree, but can you prove that you can't fall?

If it had been Karan, everyone would have put on a smile that made them feel a little sick, because he had proven himself.

The Karan family has been able to take root in this land for so long and so deeply. Countless ups and downs have not allowed the wind and sand to bury their surname deep in the loess.

And you, Christine, can you do it?

No one knows until it's over.

At least now, Kristen has not proven herself.

The moonlight penetrates into the hall through the colorful glass on the dome. It slowly flows and echoes in the gaps between people, as if wondering why the world with so many people is so quiet.

"."

Duke Christian's face was a bit lost.

He had already taken out the hand that was behind his back and put it in the pocket of his trousers, with a not-so-pretty smile hanging on his stern face.

The Duke looked around at the people below, seeing the surprise and vigilance in their eyes, and said softly: "It seems that you have any other opinions or ideas that you can tell me?"

At this time, someone spoke up.

"Well, I don't have an opinion. I just think you don't need to be so anxious."

Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who made the sound.

His name is Heymans Schake, and he is a marquis, but he is not just an ordinary marquis. As a traditional nobleman, he has a deep foundation. In terms of connections and resources, he is no less than a count with a weak foundation.

Because of this, he dared to be the leader.

Heymans Schake looked at Mr. Duke and said: "I understand what you are thinking, but sir, you have to know that the kingdom is not that fragile."

"We haven't experienced a large-scale war for decades, but the knights and soldiers of the royal family have never stopped training. Their horses are fat and strong, and their weapons are well stocked. I think you should

If you have some confidence in the royal family, just the words of some rebels are nothing to fear."

"You're jumping out now and want to unite us into a big banner. You're really a little too anxious - with all due respect, I don't think that together we are any stronger than those rebels, and it's impossible to stop them.

The iron hooves of the Knights."

Mr. Heymans Schake said what most people present were thinking, but unfortunately, this was not the answer that Duke Christian wanted.

Shaking his head, Duke Christian said: "Sir, do you think I am a fool?"

"Of course I know the strength of the kingdom and the capabilities we can possess. In this case, since I can make such a decision and bring everyone together. Shouldn't it be me who knows that the kingdom will inevitably

Will it fall apart in this civil war?"

"Um?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Sir, if that's the case, I apologize to you." Heymans Shaq frankly admitted his mistake and asked, "But, I want to know, why did you make such a judgment?"

"Oh."

Duke Christian stroked his beard and whispered: "Don't you wonder why this group of people dare to launch a rebellion when the kingdom is at its peak?"

"One person can be said to have lost his mind, two people can be said to be bewitched by each other, those three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine, so many people, are they all crazy? They know that they are weak, but they still have to be tough.

superior?!"

"."

If you follow Duke Christian's logic, it does seem a bit strange.

Before this rebellion, the kingdom at this time was relatively stable in terms of public sentiment and social order, and could not meet the conditions for rebellion. Moreover, because the kingdom was still wealthy after reunification, it did not undermine the interests of the nobles. Logically speaking,

He said that the nobles really had no reason to rebel.

But that's what they did.

Could it be that there really is some inside story?

"Sir." Someone lowered his head and asked sincerely, "I really want to know what the reason is."

"Haha." Duke Christian smiled, "Because"

"Behind them, there is the support of the gods."

"What?!!"

Unbelievable sounds filled every corner of the banquet hall in an instant, and even Linn couldn't help but froze.

What kind of existence are gods?

It is a legend that only exists in legends and is neither expected nor attainable.

If anyone in the world has truly seen gods, it is impossible for anyone except the contemporary emperor.

But now, Duke Christian actually said that those rebels got the support of gods to start the war?

What a joke!

"No, it's impossible!" Someone immediately retorted, "The goddess is a compassionate god, and she never wants people to fight among themselves."

"Who told you that the god who supported them must be our goddess." Duke Christian refuted it again, "As far as I know, the leader of the rebellion awakened a sinful god from nowhere. It is said that it was a god of sin.

One of the four evil gods in the past. Because of this, with the support of the gods, they dared to challenge the kingdom despite their obvious lack of strength."

"."

When he heard this sentence, Linn subconsciously thought of Yvette, but soon felt something was wrong.

Although Yvette was awakened, she was not awakened by those people. It was the Society of Roses. Moreover, the Society of Roses had been burned to the ground by him a long time ago. Where would there be people to lead the rebels?

No matter how you look at it, the leader of the rebels is Earl Enoch, but to say that he has awakened the gods, it can only be Slaanesh that he once believed in or Khorne that he currently believes in.

However, with Slaanesh now in his possession, Khorne refused to answer Enoch's call and chose him instead.

So who can he wake up?

Or is it that deception was used to create an illusion so that participants would believe it?

Lin En was unclear, and the people around him were even more confused.

However, others are more inclined to believe the Duke's words than Lynn.

Because only in this way can the abnormal behavior of the rebels be explained.

There was silence in the hall for a while before someone spoke again.

"By the way, sir, since the other party has the support of gods, it seems that even if we add up, we won't be able to stir up any trouble."

"No no no."

Duke Christian shook his finger and said: "If we are asked to participate, there is indeed nothing we can do, but who says we must participate."

"As long as we stick together and don't let the storm affect us, when everything is settled afterwards, we will naturally be attracted because we have a certain amount of influence."

When they heard this sentence, everyone felt that this was a familiar scene.

The Karan family seems to have been passed down like this.

Thinking of this, some people in the hall looked strange.

Want to steal other people's methods to develop yourself? Then why don't we join the more experienced party?

"Pah, pah, pah—"

Duke Christian clapped his hands, bringing everyone's thoughts back to reality.

"In short, everyone, I have finished talking about the good and the bad. Tonight is very long, and there is still a lot of time left for everyone to think."

"Feel sorry."

It's that Marquis Heymans Schake again.

He is a traditional nobleman, and if he wants to form a team, he will definitely side with Karan, who is of the same kind.

He had no interest in this invitation.

After waving his hand, Heymans Shaq casually found an excuse and said: "I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.

Duke Christian's face suddenly darkened.

Clenching his fists, he looked towards the door.

There, there are attendants who have already ambushed him. As long as the marquis dares to touch the door, he can order the other party to kill him here.

But do you really want to do this?

The Duke hesitated.

Because of the identity of the other party.

Although he is only a marquis, his influence is quite high among the nobles, otherwise he would not dare to stand out in front of Mr. Duke.

If you kill him, will the subsequent chain reaction make others even more dissatisfied with him, or even turn against him on the spot?

The Duke's eyes became more and more tangled.

At this time, in the quiet hall, a crisp crackling sound suddenly came, and then, a torrent of magic power surged and burst out in an instant.

"boom--"

A violent explosion sounded from where the Marquis was standing. The Duke pushed aside the guard standing in front of him and took a closer look.

"Is it that boy?!"
