Chapter 316: We were chatting happily, but suddenly the topic of demons came up

"Your Majesty Elorius."

After Lord Qinghui stared into Queen Fenglu's beautiful blue eyes for a few seconds, he nodded slightly and returned the greeting.

The elf girl standing in front of Westhead exuded a dignity and gentleness that transcended her age, and was absolutely pure and clear.

Her pretty and delicate facial features are as stunning as an opened fairy tale book.

Westhead originally wanted to give the elven royal family of the Central Royal Court a little shock of his brilliance, but he didn't expect to be stunned by them instead.

His XP is really very traditional and normal. He likes beautiful girls with big breasts and long legs. All other elements are built on this basis. But at this time... he actually started to worry about the childish aesthetic?
This was quite incredible, and it made Westhead secretly alert. His charm attribute was really a double-edged sword. It was nothing at other times, because neither Myvana nor Resia nor anyone else had the charm talent that could match his. But in the Thousand Laws Royal Court, this was the first time that Westhead felt the disadvantages of high charm.

"Well"

Elorius tilted his head and looked up at Westhead.

"what happened?"

The little girl hummed twice, clasped her hands behind her back, and said with a smile:

"Nothing, I just thought that Qinghui-kun and the one in the video are not the same person. He looks much better."

"Also, you don't need to respect me so much. We are allies, so we are equals."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall elf behind Elorius stepped forward to correct him:

"Your Majesty, please note that even if we are equal allies, there is still a distinction between host and guest. You are the master of the royal court and should have the dignity of a king."

"Well, you are absolutely right, Lord Elevit."

Eloleus behaved very well and did not show any anger even when he was refuted. He just winked at Westhead and then took the initiative to give his seat to the chief tuner.

The key point is that the latter really stepped forward like this. No, Queen Fenglu gave up her position and you really took it!

This action made Westhead raise his eyebrows. How could the chief tuner be so domineering?

Not only Westhead felt a little uncomfortable, he glanced around and found that the elven royal family was also quite dissatisfied with this behavior.

Wow, I am angry but dare not speak out.

Westhead looked at the great tuner in front of him with interest. There was no emotion on Elevit's stern face, or rather, his expression was always extremely serious. He raised one arm slightly and said:
"Lord Qinghui, first of all, welcome to the royal court and fight alongside us. The Qianlu royal court will never forget your friendship."

"In this emergency, I hope to first check whether the legion you brought matches the list in the covenant, and then we can discuss how to fight."

No, is your EQ so low? You just started to check my troops?
Westhead smiled silently, and was a little embarrassed to speak because of Ilevitt's words. Duke Qinghui thought he had been direct enough, but he didn't expect that the chief tuner of the royal court was even more heavyweight and started to show strength as soon as he arrived.

"Lord Ilevit, you can't do this. It's too rude to Lord Qinghui. We are allies."

Elorius put his palm to his mouth and corrected:
"What we should do now is to welcome Lord Qinghui and the others. They have come all the way to the royal court, and as the host, we should show our hospitality."

After hearing this, Elevit paused and nodded.

".Then let's postpone it for now. Lord Qinghui, please keep the troops outside the Royal Court. We have prepared a garrison. Especially the Yonglan Knights' troops, I hope you can control them well and not let them be too active inside the Royal Court."

"I'll wait for the banquet later. I still need to check the nodes now."

After saying this, the chief tuner with long light silver hair turned around and left in a swift and decisive manner, as if he had come here specifically to guard against Westhead.

I feel inexplicably unhappy.

After the Grand Tuner left, the Queen of Wind returned to her seat, smiled at Westhead, and waved to Luyetan:

"Alright, Lord Qinghui and Lord Yuanxi, please follow me."

"Thank you very much."

Westhead and others followed the Queen of Wind Law and the elven attendants.

On the way to the Central Royal Court for the banquet, Mavis approached Westhead and snorted.

"Who does he think he is? How dare he give orders to our Lord like this?!"

The person he was referring to was naturally Ilevitt, who did not give a good face. Ever since Westhead ascended the throne as the Knight King, he was always well-fed and cheered wherever he went. Even the reputation of Knight Yonglan was changed from a war-crazy madman to a chivalrous man under the Knight King.

For the Yonglan Knights, it was a complete surprise, because they were completely attracted by the glory and war promised by Westhead, but when they turned around, they saw...
Wow, this is a good reputation to be gained, it’s exaggerated.

Not to mention, this is quite refreshing. Knight Yonglan attaches great importance to reputation, and it is quite nice to be recognized by people from other countries.

Westhead shook his head upon hearing this:
"You may not be able to beat him if you talk like that."

Mephis: "Oh, that's ridiculous. The power gained by relying on the blessing of the God Ancestor is fake no matter how strong it is. Why don't I get the blood of the Knight God and fight him again to see who is the winner?"

"Hard to say."

Westhead didn't think that Mephis in the blessed state could defeat Elivit, even if he was the Knight of Yonglan.

Because the blessings bestowed by the gods vary in level.

The blessing left by [Yonglan Qishen] is just his own divine blood, which is only used to strengthen it temporarily, but [Qianlu Yidian] is truly the thing that [Qianlu Emperor] uses to prove his truth and ascend to heaven!

Without the special ability to restrain the resonance of the rhythmic sound, it would be extremely stupid to fight against the Grand Tuner in the royal court. Even Westhead had no such discussion from the beginning.

"You're having a conflict with the Grand Tutor as soon as you meet him? This is not a good sign."

Luyetan beside him covered his mouth and laughed secretly:
"You can see who has the final say in Qianlu Royal Court now."

"When rituals and music are in disarray, the strong will define everything. This is only natural."

Westhead raised his lips slightly, looked around, and said:

“Why do I feel like this is a good thing?”

After leaving the port, everyone soon arrived at the well-prepared open-air banquet in the intricate palace. It was the first time for Westhead to enjoy a welcoming banquet in the exquisite and beautiful elven-style courtyard. "Please take a seat, Lord Qinghui. As an ally who can lend a helping hand to the royal court, you are entitled to such courtesy. Please do not be angry about the words and deeds of the Grand Tutor. He has always been like this and has no ill intentions."

Queen Fenglu folded her hands in front of her belly and smiled sweetly at Westhead.

For this reason, Eloleus deliberately reserved the important seats at the front of the banquet for Westhead and others as a sign of respect.

However, Lord Qinghui did not have many confidants around him, only a dozen or so legion commanders. Even the Witch of the Ring of Clear Sky was not brought along to avoid suspicion - the current level of trust was far from enough, and the best he could do was to make the elves turn a blind eye.

So after they sat down, there were still many empty seats, which could accommodate Queen Fenglu's confidants as well.

"The Grand Tutor must be working very hard for the country and the people, so it is understandable that he is a little lax in dealing with people. Moreover, his dedication to duty and serious character make me feel more at ease. After all, we will fight side by side in the future, and the reliability of comrades is more important than anything else."

Westhead tried his best not to keep his eyes on the elf beauty with a purple high ponytail and a figure slightly better than Rozana, who was standing next to the little queen, while speaking politely.

Elorius clapped his hands and said happily:

"This is perfect."

Then the petite Queen held up the glass of fruit wine with both hands, raised the glass to Westhead and said:
"Congratulations to Lord Qinghui!"

As the elf girl's voice, as clear and gentle as a silver bell, fell, the elven royals present at the meeting also raised their glasses.

The Queen of Wind Tune took the initiative to toast. This treatment was extremely generous. It seemed that there had never been such a precedent. Even the now powerful Grand Tuner had never been treated with such courtesy.

However, everyone did not think there was anything wrong, because Westhead was not only the monarch of Qinghui Territory, he also had the identity of "Eternal Lan Knight King"! Even though the authority of the Knight King was not as great as that of the Lords of other Order Kingdoms, in terms of status, Westhead was not much different from the Queen of Fenglu.

You are an emperor, and I am also an emperor!

Westhead had always been treated well by others, so he was not stingy in responding and immediately said, "Congratulations to Her Majesty the Queen as well!"

For a moment, the guests were toasting, standing up and making noises, all of them were enjoying themselves.

Westhead was approached and toasted by one elven royal family after another. The flattering words made him feel as if he was back in the imperial capital period. The imperial capital at that time was also like this, luxurious to the point of making people linger and unable to control themselves.

However, this joy was interrupted by the sound of powerful footsteps.

The chief tuner Ilevitt came over with a group of people. With his joining, the atmosphere became serious and many elves even left quietly.

Elivitt was completely unaware of this, and walked straight to Westhead and Aerolius and sat down, saying calmly:

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to interrupt your conversation, but please allow me to take up a little time."

Then the chief tuner turned to Westhead and said seriously:

"Lord Qinghui, I must explain to you the enemy we are facing and the current situation of the war. This matter cannot be delayed. Even if the timing of sending troops can be postponed, the sooner we think of countermeasures, the better."

Everyone was having a great time chatting, but suddenly someone brought up the topic of the devil.

When it comes to this topic, even the elven royal family doesn't want to listen any more. The existence of demons has always been a thorn in the hearts of the royal nobles. After successive blows, they dare not even face it and stand up and leave.

However, Westhead did not feel that his interest was disturbed, because he was also very interested in the current [Devil's Feast] of the Royal Court and to what extent it had evolved.

"Well, I'm all ears."

Westhead leaned back slightly, waiting for Elevit to speak.

"When the Qianlu Royal Court was first established, there were seventy-seven cities in the lake. Even now, there are still seventy-seven cities in the lake. They are all important nodes of the Grand Ensemble. In the past, although we knew about the existence of demons, we never thought that there would be so many demons locked in the nodes."

The Grand Tutor took out the map on his own initiative and showed Westhead the special geography of the Thousand Laws Court.

"But now, the royal court can directly control only twelve cities in the lake, and can establish connections with another seventeen. The rest of the cities in the lake have become the dens of demons."

Westhead said bluntly: "Isn't this all over?"

I only knew that the impact of [Devil's Feast] was wide-ranging and severe, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.

More than half of the territory had been lost. No wonder the royal court was so anxious that it ignored the ancestral laws and requested reinforcements from the outside world.

"it's not true!"

Hearing Westhead's bad words, Elevit immediately snorted and retorted:
"The reason why the Royal Court lost so many nodes is because those demons were trapped in the city in the lake. For thousands of years, they have known all the nodes like the back of their hands. As soon as they escaped, they occupied the nodes of the Thousand Laws Code, making it difficult for any tuning to shake them."

"We are not completely defeated, but it is difficult for us to take back the nodes from the demons. If those shadows of the gods come to attack the Central Royal Court, I will make them return with a crushing defeat!"

Ilevitt rarely exaggerates the facts, and his words are credible and valuable, but if the Royal Court was really inferior to the demons, it would have fallen long ago under the siege of the hateful Shadow of the God.

Westhead nodded. "I see. But according to what you said, the stalemate will continue. If the grand ensemble is interrupted for too long, I'm afraid it won't be a good idea, right?"

Upon hearing this, Elevit's face turned very ugly and he said:

"That's right. But there's no need to worry. Even if the grand ensemble is interrupted, the collapse won't be that fast. It will take at least several years or even decades."

What an honest man! Is this something you can say?

The chief tuner gritted his teeth and said:

"As long as we can recapture even one city in the lake, the collapse of the great ensemble will be slowed down. So from now on, our goal is just to capture the recently fallen city in the lake, one of the territories occupied by the Lord of Withering."

Ilevitt marked a location on the map, which was indeed very close to the jurisdiction of the Central Royal Court.

"【Lord of Blight】? I've never heard of it. There seem to be too many little demons."

Westhead raised his eyebrows.

"Among the many demonic enemies, He is already the weakest. In fact, even without your help, the next target of the royal court is here, and we are very confident. But since we have the support of Lord Qinghui, Yuanxi Palace and others, it is not a bad idea to make more preparations for war."

The chief tuner raised his head and said with burning eyes:
"I hope you can integrate your troops with the King's Court's String Swordsmen for a while, so that they can be invincible in the subsequent battle to recapture the city."
