Page 249 [Banquet]
The invitation was sent in the evening.
Jericho did say before that he would treat Chen Senran to a drink.
But Chen Senran didn't expect the scene to be so big.
Tonight at seven o'clock, I will host a banquet for guests from all walks of life in the Academy's Hall of Glory. I hope Sir Jack Sparrow will come.
This was the only sentence on the invitation. It was signed by Jericho. It also included the seals of the War College's iconic scales, magic book and crystal tower.
Who is Jericho? Now the only external agent of the Zhan Zhan College.
A new star that the three giants of the parliament are cultivating.
What he meant was naturally what the parliament meant.
There is no need for Chen Senran to deal with the parliament at this point in time because of this trivial matter.
So of course he will go.
He also spent some time grooming himself.
Of course, this so-called modification is just a dark black gown embroidered with fine and mysterious patterns.
After nightfall.
seven o'clock.
Chen Senran arrived at the Hall of Glory on time. He walked up the long stone stairs outside the hall step by step, with rigorous steps and elegant manners.
This makes him look nothing like a tycoon from Bilgewater, where pirates gather, but more like a son of a noble family who often attends noble court dances.
This discovery made those who arrived early have a higher opinion of the blind man who was walking toward them step by step, and it also made Chen Senran's sense of mystery stronger.
The Hall of Glory was arranged like a top-notch cocktail party. The transparent floor made entirely of rune crystals was filled with tables carved from top-grade black rock wood serving drinks and food.
People who arrived at the venue early had already entered the venue first with wine glasses in hand and mingled with acquaintances.
The protagonists of this dinner are undoubtedly the delegations from the original city-states, but this does not prevent the dignitaries from the Zhan Zhan Academy from also joining in, as well as some famous celebrities in the mainland.
For example, Annie.
From the moment Chen Senran stepped into the Hall of Glory for the first time, he felt countless pairs of eyes looking at him, and among them, the one he caught immediately was Anne's gaze.
Chen Senran was not surprised at all that Annie would come to this dinner. Now Chen Senran knew all of Annie's current identities.
The little princess of the Gray Order, the supreme darling of Summoner's Rift, the fusion body of the fire element, and the disciple of the sacred giant Soraka.
Any one of these identities is enough for her to be invited.
What's more, she is also one of the contestants in this year's Gray Order delegation.
But Chen Senran didn't show anything wrong. He didn't seem to notice the eyes that seemed to pierce him, and walked directly towards the wine table. He picked up a glass of red wine of some vintage and looked at a person on the side.
Walked around the corner.
But if he ignores others, others will not let him go.
Those who had not dared to talk to him after the first round of informal meetings were now rushing towards him.
"I think you are the new king of Bilgewater, Mr. Jack Sparrow?" The first person to come over was the representative of Zaun, the younger generation of Zaun who had heard his voice at the meeting today.
Chief scientist and madman. Rose Knight Jace's old enemy, Dr. Victor.
His voice was severely stiff and dry caused by the severe mechanization of his body.
Chen Senran didn't like him at all. So he said: "I'm glad to see you, Dr. Victor, but I have to correct you. Bilgewater is a military committee system and there is no king. In addition, I like people to call me blind."
A little more Jack."
"Ha...haha." Victor laughed awkwardly, but because his vocal cords were all created by Hex technology, even his laughter looked like an assembly line work, "Okay, blind man..."
"Blind Jack. Hey, man, I heard about what you did in the east. You did a really good job. You actually defeated Gangplank, and..." The second person who came was Jarvan IV, the prince of Demacia.
, he interrupted Victor, and as he spoke, he laughed and raised his glass to Chen Senran. Finally, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that you pissed off the parliamentary navy?"
Chen Senran remembered Jarvan IV's glorious fight in the heavy snow. He had a good impression of him, so he raised his cup towards him, took a sip, and lowered his voice and said: "
It's nothing, you know, Bilgewater, first on the sea."
"Hahahahahahahaha, Jack, Brother Jack, you are so interesting. Come on, let's have a drink." Jarvan IV burst out laughing, and at the same time, he clinked a glass with Chen Senran politely to show his goodwill.
.
"Look, isn't this our great hero? Mr. Jack, come on, I must toast you and thank you for everything you have done for peace, freedom, and the liberation of Ionia." The third person is Jace.
, he said the above words with a strong stance, because Piltover has always preached freedom and peace. When Noxus invaded Ionia, Piltover strongly protested.
Of course, it's just a protest.
Although the words are very beautiful.
But Chen Senran didn't like him because his performance in the Freljord was really bad.
"Thank you, Dr. Jess. I also yearn for Piltover. It is said that there is freedom and prosperity there. By the way..." Chen Senran paused and then said, "I often heard that Piltover is the most outstanding place at sea.
The genius is called Ezreal, I wonder why he didn’t come this time?”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people looked in Chen Senran's direction, and Jess's face suddenly became ugly.
But after all, he is no longer the reckless, impulsive and high-spirited simple scientist he once was. The experience of the past few years has allowed him to make great progress in his worldly sophistication.
He was just stunned for a moment and then said: "I'm sorry to tell you that Ezreal was wanted by Piltover for treason a few years ago. Now, I am the most outstanding genius in Piltover."
He said the last sentence with high spirits, and when Caitlin, who was drinking sullenly not far away, heard this sentence, the gloom in her eyes deepened.
"Well, congratulations." Chen Senran just said this and planned to end the conversation.
And just in time, the main meal of the banquet came at this time.
The dance begins.
Music rang throughout the audience.
As the host of the banquet, Jericho stood at the highest point, holding a glass of wine to signal everyone's silence. At the same time, he looked at the audience and said: "For the first dance tonight, is anyone willing to dance with me?"
When he said this, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Annie, who had been staring at Chen Senran. (To be continued...)
ps: First update.
The second update is coming soon.
