Chapter 217 Overturning the table
After a bell rang, Xiaoqi, who had been looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, finally stood up slowly.
The next moment, everyone in the audience fell silent, and everyone looked at her unconsciously.
"Welcome, the celebration is coming."
Then, under a strange force, the door behind her slowly opened, and golden light shot out from it, quickly gathering on the ten people.
One of them was Cheng Yao, Chenxi's master, one was the masked swordsman who had been arguing with him, three old men, a muscular swordsman, a beauty with extremely cold eyes, a yawning, hazy woman in purple, and a wealthy middle-aged man.
Nine golden lights, the last one shone on Xiaoqi.
Ten golden lights appeared, and the golden light behind the door gradually faded away. However, a mirror appeared. People could only see their own reflections in the mirror, but could not see the scenery behind the mirror.
Most of the people who were not chosen fell silent. Some were not chosen because they knew they were not worthy and qualified, while others were not chosen because they were not inclined to the Human King faction.
Just like a certain elf, Linglong knew very well that if she was chosen, there must be something wrong with the Human King Palace.
However, at the last moment when the golden light disappeared, four yellow lights came out from the mirror and directly penetrated into the bodies of Diefang and the other three.
Chenxi: ...?
Everyone present (except Xiaoqi and Linglong): ...?
Everyone was confused, including Diefang and the others, of course.
The golden light in the door completely dissipated. Seeing this, Xiao Qi coughed lightly and said, "Those with golden light can come in to discuss; those with yellow light can come in to listen. As for the others, you can go or stay as you wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally empty table was quickly served with delicious dishes by the people from the Human King Palace.
Everyone present couldn't help but look at the four people.
Only Wenxin and Xiaofangying were attracted by the dazzling food.
Soon, a group of people walked into the mirror. Xiao Qi stayed behind. Seeing Die Fang shook her head, the remaining three people had no intention of going in, so they had to give up. After she went in, the door closed again.
The moment the door closed, Linglong immediately stood up and walked towards Diefang and the others.
Chenxi also looked at the four of them, mouth opened, with a shocked expression: "You... who are you four? The Human King Palace actually recognized your qualifications."
Wenxin had been swallowing her saliva and pulled Xiaofangying directly towards the dining table.
Only Diefang and Xinyu were left there, looking confused.
However, Linglong had approached them unknowingly.
"Naixi from the clan thanks you for saving my life."
Diefang, Xinyu and Chenxi all looked at the newcomer.
The figure of the visitor was slender and light, like an elegant swan, and every movement was full of the agility and grace of an elf. Her skin was crystal clear, shining like pearls, and exuding a charming fragrance, as if she was a flower fairy walking out of a sea of flowers. Her hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her fair skin, as soft as silk.
A beautiful, elegant and dignified elf.
Chenxi slightly recalled that her master had told her about Linglong's existence. According to legend... this person had been rescued by the Human King, so she was allowed to attend tonight's banquet as an exception.
Linglong said elegantly: "Perhaps, we can go and taste the food while resolving each other's doubts."
……
The room inside the door was like a round table meeting, with many colorful paintings on the walls.
A man in white, a dark shadow that blocked out the sky, behind him were people holding weapons, and facing him were a horde of demons.
All ten people knew very well that the original intention of today's festival was never to commemorate a certain person, but to warn future generations to be self-reliant and never be forced into a desperate situation, because no one knew whether the next human king would stand up.
The atmosphere between the ten people was very weird. Even Chenxi's master Cheng Yao stopped arguing with the swordsman. Everyone's expression became serious.
"From the Human King Palace, Seventh Sister? Start your explanation."
"Explain...what?"
"To the northwest, the Human King statue is missing, and the four recognized children."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi stared at the old man who asked her the question, and occasionally glanced at other people casually.
Noticing that everyone present seemed to be waiting for her answer, Xiao Qi's rosy lips curled up slightly.
Before explaining, she wanted to clarify one thing.
The whole room seemed to be aroused by her, and an absolute will instantly pressed down on the rest of the people.
The whole room seemed to vibrate.
The swordsman picked up his sword, the knifeman grabbed his knife, and the others also became more serious.
A clear and cold voice rang out: "I am the Human King Palace, why do I need to explain to you? I am here today just to inform you!"
"First, the Human King Palace will no longer be responsible for defending every city."
When an old man heard this, he immediately looked anxious.
Before my butt even warms up the chair, I feel like standing up.
He was furious and wanted to slam the table to express his dissatisfaction. However, before he could stand up, a force that he could not resist gathered above his head, and he had to sit down like a deflated balloon.
That power instantly shocked everyone present. The power of the Human King...
They knew that an immense power had been sealed here for a long time, but it could only be triggered in times of crisis. Now it was being directly used by the people of the Human King Palace.
"Don't move, be careful...the sword will fall on your heads."
Everyone, including Cheng Xi, had a look of anger on their faces.
Each of them is a top figure who originally came to participate in the discussion on the future situation of the human race. But now they are dominated by one family. All their words are interrupted, and the power is monopolized by the Human King Palace.
Xiao Qi then said coldly: "Second, the Human King Palace will send someone to recover the power of the Human King."
"Third, unless the alien race attacks the human race's stronghold, the Human King Palace will not interfere in any small fights in the jurisdiction of any place."
"Fourth, I hope everyone here will think carefully about whether something should be hidden. If you have any opinions, you might as well recall the days before the Human King Palace was built."
The old man who wanted to slam the table at the beginning now had a black face.
"Even if I'm your Palace Master, I have to call you uncle when I see you! How dare you threaten me?"
"If you think it's a threat, then it doesn't matter. I, the Human King Palace, will not play with you even if I overturn the table."
Soon the scene fell silent again.
Cheng Yao frowned, what ridiculous thing is the Human King Palace doing?
The swordsman also frowned, and the expressions of the others were not very good.
Because such an action by the Human King Palace will cause a lot of turmoil. However, once there is turmoil, it will be an opportunity for aliens and traitors.
Only the swordsman grinned.
He put away the broadsword at his waist and lay down on the chair.
"I, Dao Yu, agree."
The rest of the people looked over there, even Xiao Qi looked over there in surprise.
"The Human King Palace has provided so much service to the human race, but none of them have any self-awareness. They are deceived by a little bit of profit and betray the human race. It is better to be managed by others than to be self-aware. In my opinion, they should have stopped managing it a long time ago. Anyone who wants to rebel should be beheaded!"
