Chapter 271 The Princess

Lu He walked into the banquet hall.

He saw a group of people waiting in the hall.

The leader was a noble silver-haired woman, surrounded by a group of people like a star.

The woman was not very old, only in her twenties, no more than thirty years old.

Her long silver hair was tied up, and she wore a moon-white close-fitting lace dress, a black shawl on her shoulders, and most importantly, she wore a white and gold delicate flower crown on her head.

"Lord Sauron, let me introduce you, this is Princess Isabel." Barry said with a smile.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has come from afar to attend the banquet. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Lu He smiled slightly when he met her, strode forward, gently took the Princess's hand and kissed her.

Her hand was very smooth, and the taste was sober and not sweet.

This was the second royal princess he had seen since he came to this world. The first one was very savage, and he didn't like it.

This one looks good, and must be respected.

The princess's pretty face froze, and after reacting, she calmly retracted her right hand, with a gentle smile on her face.

The people around her were also stunned, and some of them stared at Lu He with a hint of anger on their faces.

However, thinking of Zoro's seemingly frivolous, but actually very frivolous behavior, it is a common etiquette in the Crescent Empire.

Barry's face twitched and he was speechless for a while.

In the hierarchical Flying Wing Empire, this behavior of grabbing the princess's hand and kissing it is very impolite and a taboo.

That is, Lord Zoro, if someone else did this, their mouth would probably be smashed, and then chopped up and fed to the dog.

"Count Zoro is polite, you are a powerful sky knight who roams the Dawn Forest, and you are famous. Compared to you, I am just a weak woman."

"My friends call me Isabel, you can also call me directly." The princess smiled, her beauty was brilliant, bright and moving, and even a little dazzling.

Lu He smiled.

Being praised by this beautiful and noble princess, I felt a little comfortable.

But on the other hand, this princess was also very scheming.

At Barry's invitation, several people came to the main table in the banquet hall and sat down, while the guards sat down at the table next to them.

The seats had been arranged long ago, and Lu He naturally sat in the main seat, with the princess on the left and Barry on the right.

Lu He looked carefully at the princess Isabel next to him. According to Barry, she was a famous beauty in the Wing Empire, and now it seems that she is indeed worthy of her reputation.

The white long skirt was draped elegantly on her delicate body, and her long hair was tied on her head. Her noble temperament was mixed with a hint of approachability.

She had a perfect figure, her plump breasts were high, her waist was slender, her thighs were slender and plump, her skin was as bright and delicate as pearls, and when she sat down elegantly, her legs were tightly together.

But the long skirt had a faint crack from the side, and it seemed that the mystery between her legs could be vaguely glimpsed.

Seeing Lu He looking at her, the princess reached out and gently adjusted the non-existent hair on her temples.

She looked a little shy.

Lu He smiled and calmly retracted his gaze. This princess should rarely do this. She was pretending a little too much at this moment.

There were several other people on the table, and Barry introduced them one by one.

There was the mayor of Heilian City, the mayor of Heitie Castle, whose strength was no less than that of Yanlun Alliance, and the leader of the Earth-Moon School.

There was also the captain of the guards brought by the princess, the chief officers of several nearby provinces, and so on.

Unfortunately, Lu He was not interested in most of them. The only one who was a little interested was the leader of the Earth-Moon School.

A middle-aged man with long black hair, wearing a black robe with a crescent mark on his body, had an elegant temperament, especially his eyes, which seemed to have some strange attraction.

Not only was his aura at the peak of the knight level, but the energy in his body was also in an extremely suppressed state.

It was like the volcanic magma was dormant and could erupt violently at any time. It was obviously at the critical point of a breakthrough.

Compared with his subordinates Ent, Frye and Pavis, the three peak knights, are stronger.

Lu He looked at them twice more, but only twice, although they were only one step away from breaking through.

But this final step is not so easy to take, otherwise the status of the Sky Knight would not be so high.

Noticing Lu He's gaze, Xi Gamali nodded slightly at him and said with a smile:

"I have heard of the name of Earl Sauron for a long time. Today I finally have the honor to meet him. He is indeed a young and promising man."

"You are not bad either." Lu He replied.

This is the truth. Among the knights he has seen, Xi Gamali is the most likely to break through to the Sky Knight.

But his low EQ answer made Xi Gamali feel a little uncomfortable, and he could only laugh to cover up his embarrassment.

Fortunately, the banquet has officially begun.

Unlike the banquet Lu He attended last time, the banquet here actually starts with watching the performance first.

On the stage, more than a dozen light-bodied girls and handsome boys performed drama stories in the form of dance.

At the same time, the band next to them incorporated poetry into the music.

The gorgeous words, beautiful tunes, and the dancers' agility and skills made the story vivid, and the poetry and music and dance intertwined into a colorful art painting.

Lu He watched with great interest.

Barry introduced that this was the Royal Song and Dance Troupe specially invited by Princess Isabel for him.

Lu He tilted his head to express his gratitude. The princess did not say anything, but just showed a slightly charming smile.

After the beautiful dance opera performance, the special program of Black Refining City was performed, the blacksmith swinging the hammer.

Several blacksmiths with hunched muscles, bald heads, and no eyebrows or beards hammered away at the iron.

Their skin was shiny and full of sweat, and they all wore large gold earrings on their left ears, making them look fierce.

The banquet hall was suddenly filled with loud sounds, which formed a strong contrast with the elegant scene in front.

Lu He frowned as he watched.

But appearance aside, the skills of these blacksmiths are really good. They can turn a square iron block into a weapon that can cut through iron with just a sledgehammer.

In the end, the audience burst into warm applause, and Lu He also clapped his hands and applauded these skilled blacksmiths.

After the performance, it was a normal banquet.

At this time, it becomes lively, with people eating when they should eat, dancing when they should dance, communicating when they should communicate, and clapping when they should applaud.

Lu He was invited by the eldest princess to take a walk in the corridor on the top floor of the villa while people were watching him eating.

There are fully transparent glass floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the corridor. The villa is very high, like a tall spire. Standing on it, you can see through it the shining stars of Heilian City below.

Looking up, you can see the vast starry sky. The dark night is filled with bright or dark, dense or sparse stars.

They naturally form a picture with rich layers, sharp contrast and density.

There were only two of them on the top floor. The eldest princess's captain of the bodyguard and Yerette were both asked to stay on the lower floor to guard them.

"Ten miles long street, thousands of lights...perhaps it is the most beautiful sight in the world."

The eldest princess looked down at the scene below and sighed.

Lu He was stunned. The four-character idiom "Lights of Ten Thousand Houses" brought many beautiful pictures to his mind.

Night, breeze, stalls, relatives and friends...these were the ordinary lives before I became a wizard.

These lives were not far away from him, only a few years ago, but they felt like a long, long time to him.

"Indeed, many people like to look up at the night sky, because the bright and mysterious stars make people yearn for it, but no matter how good and brilliant the stars are, how can they compare with the fireworks in this world."

Isabel nodded and shook her head. She raised her head and looked up at the starry night sky. Her gaze stayed on the brightest star in the distant deep sky for a long time, showing a look of yearning.

"I yearn for the starry sky even more!" she sighed softly.

"Because compared to you, small and weak people like us cannot see the opportunity to control our own destiny in the future."

"We are unable to resist a lot of force and oppression. We are tired of looking at thousands of lights, so we long for the stars."

Lu He looked at her in surprise. Was he called here just to discuss these philosophies of life?

"Being strong doesn't mean everything is good." The look on Lu He's face was quite emotional.

But there was an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth, because he seemed to understand the intention of the eldest princess.

"Why do you say that?" Isabel asked curiously.

"Because everyone yearns for power, powerful people themselves are the source and goal of their pursuit."

Seeing the eldest princess' autumn-like eyes staring at him motionlessly, Lu He chuckled and continued.

"When you are strong, you will be noticed and focused. The stronger you are, the greater your influence will be."

"Every move will have an impact, and various unexpected crisis risks will follow."

"You are right." The eldest princess nodded.

Looking at the young but powerful Heavenly Knight in front of her, an inexplicable luster flashed in her eyes.

Lu He smiled. He actually knew that what he said was all nonsense, and the eldest princess was just trying to cater to him.

The strong do have their own troubles, but the troubles of the weak are obviously more complex and more tragic.

Who wouldn't want to be a strong person if given the chance.

The eldest princess looked at the night view of the city outside the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around and stared into Lu He's scarlet eyes, and said slowly:

"Count Sauron, my dream is to overlook thousands of lights above the stars. Can you...can you help me?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Lu He hopefully, expecting his affirmative answer.

Lu He said nothing and walked to the other side, holding the railing with both hands and looking at the scenery outside Black Lian City.

Looking at the end of the horizon, you can vaguely see some mountain shadows.

"As long as you can help me ascend to the throne of God..."

Lu He's silence made the eldest princess very nervous. She could feel her heart beating rapidly.

"I can promise that you can go in and choose from the treasure trove accumulated by the Flying Wing Royal Family for more than three thousand years."

She had studied Sauron's resume and analyzed that this young knight looked immature on the surface, but was actually very cold.

Zoro doesn't have many hobbies.

In other words, there are very few things that attract him. Apart from robbing the nobles' treasure troves, they are food and beautiful women.

So in order to gain his support, Isabel had really very few chips to offer.

But she still wanted to give it a try and seize every possible opportunity, because without the support of the Sky Knight, she would have no chance of rising to the top given her current situation.

treasure house? Are you still letting me choose?

Lu He suddenly became interested. He turned around, but instead of answering her request directly, he asked:

"Why do you need my support? Don't you have two Sky Knights in your Flying Wing Empire?"

"Because they did not support me, Prince Ricardo chose to support his father's favorite third prince, Carrick." The eldest princess couldn't help but smile bitterly and explained.

"And another Heavenly Knight, North Wing King Duan, supports his close nephew, the eighth prince Ander."

"No one supports you. You look a bit down and out." Lu He unconsciously activated his taunting skill.

The princess rolled her eyes at him coquettishly, and then said softly like a spoiled child: "Why don't I have anyone to support me? Isn't Earl Sauron my supporter?"

At this time, the noble and beautiful princess was clearly begging him, but there was no obvious begging.

But it still made Lu He feel a sense of pity.

It was as if the other party's eyes were unintentionally exuding the illusion of pity and sympathy.

However, Lu He smiled and still did not agree.

The royal treasury really made him very excited. The treasures accumulated over thousands of years must be countless.

It's just that as an outsider, he didn't want to easily get involved in the disputes within the royal family of the ancient empire of this world.

Lu He once learned that, not to mention the Federation and the Republic that have flourished in the past hundred years, those empires that have been passed down for more than a thousand years were all established by Paladins and even God-level Knights.

Although it looks down and out now, there may be any back-up, and he thinks the possibility is still very high.

This is also the reason why he has not taken action against those ancient nobles. There are risks and he needs to be cautious.

Anyway, the treasure house will not run away. It is not too late to take action after he is promoted to the second-level wizard.

Seeing that he was still unmoved, the eldest princess was a little anxious, and the proud curve of her chest began to rise and fall.

After a moment, she suddenly smiled, took a slow step, and walked to Lu He in a swaying manner.

Her pink lips were slightly pursed, and a pair of clear eyes like purple gems looked at Lu He seriously.

At this time, the two were facing each other, and a light fragrance came with the breeze.

This is not like any known spice perfume, but more like a natural girl's body fragrance.

"This powerful Sky Shooting Knight, I know I have nothing to attract you, but ascending to that position is my dream and pursuit since I was born..."

"If you can agree..."

The eldest princess lowered her head, revealing a shy look, and her cheeks and neck were flushed like roses.

"I'll do whatever you want, even if you like it from behind... from behind..."

Hearing the title of Sky Shooting Knight, Lu He felt uncomfortable.

Human Sky Knights usually have titles, such as Pato, whom he killed before, who was called the Holy Golden Knight.

And the unconvinced Avic, Gustavo said he was called the Blood Night Sword Knight, and Annis, who had an affair with him, was called the Rainbow Light Knight by the name of Rainbow Light City.

These titles sounded good.

But he, Lu He, was called the Sky Shooting Knight because he shot and killed the Wolf King with one arrow.

And it was widely known.
