Chapter 889
Dudian had been away for almost a week. He didn’t know if the banquet had started or not. But he had heard Rosik mention that the banquet was going to take a long time, he could wait for the magic marks of the supplicants to approve it.
In this case, the banquet shouldn’t have started yet.
Dudian called a carriage and told the name of the place. The Coachman immediately drove the carriage to the hotel.
The carriage arrived after more than an hour. Dudian looked at the streets and found that the king’s city was really big and prosperous. It was three points better than the imperial city of Sylvia.
Dudian was relieved when he saw Rosik and the others. It seemed that the banquet hadn’t started yet.
Dudian got off the carriage and handed Aisha a golden ticket. He pulled Aisha and walked towards the hotel.
The Coachman looked at the golden ticket in his hand. It was enough for him to pull the carriage for half a year. He wanted to tell Dudian that he couldn’t afford it but he saw that Dudian’s back was far away. He looked up and suddenly realized, he stopped talking. He pretended to be dumb for a moment. He saw that Dudian didn’t look back to ask for money. He immediately drove the carriage away.
Dudian had just entered the hotel when Lothick and the other two rushed over. They saw Dudian drinking tea in the lounge next to the hotel lobby. They were stunned for a moment, “Mr. Dean, where have you been for the past few days?”
Dudian glanced at him. He knew that the two pioneer level guards behind him had noticed him. He said: “I have some private matters to deal with. There is no need to explain it to you.”
Lothick’s face flashed with a trace of embarrassment, but soon he smiled: “Of course, I was presumptuous. But the king’s city is full of people. It is better for Mr. Dean to inform me in advance where he is going. If it wasn’t for Stephanie who saw you leave, I would have thought that Mr. Dean was missing…”
How could Dudian not know his thoughts? He was worried that he would find other lords and cause trouble for him, dudian waved his hand: “Don’t make a fuss. I’m a big man. I don’t think anyone would dare to abduct and sell me. By the way, the banquet has begun. Why are you still here?”
“Mr. Dean is joking.”Rosik smiled, he said: “There are many lords invited this time. Some of them are far away so the banquet will be held in two days. Fortunately Mr. Dean came back in time. Otherwise it would be a pity to miss the banquet.”
“It’s just a banquet. What’s there to regret?”Dudian indifferently replied.
Rosik looked around. He saw that no one was paying attention to him so he pulled a chair and sat down, he lowered his voice: “Mr. Dean doesn’t know. It is said that this banquet is related to the Abyss and the polar ice worm. The rose family seems to be under the command of an Abyss Lord. It seems that they are going to the outer wall to find the polar ice worm…” He looked at dudian.
He had estimated Dudian’s strength from his previous attitude and inquiry. He knew that Dudian was a master level expert. He desired the polar ice worm the most.
Dudian knew that Lothick was aware of his strength and identity. But at the moment he had become an abyss. Although he was still interested in the polar ice worm but he didn’t have to get it as before, his eyes lit up as he asked: “Are you going to find the polar ice worm outside the giant wall? Is this the purpose of the banquet?”
“Most likely.”Lothick saw that Dudian was moved so he quickly replied. If he could send Dudian away then he could immediately apply to cancel the application for the magic marks of the supplicant. Although he would have to pay one-third of the fee, the temple would put a heavy amount on the credit line but at least two-thirds of his wealth would be recovered.
Dudian looked at rosik: “Let’s wait for the banquet to start. I don’t know where you got the news but it is just information.”
Rosik nodded and stood up: “Mr Dean, since you are back then I Won’t disturb you. You can tell me if there is anything in case you miss the banquet.”
Dudian nodded and drank his tea.
Rosik turned around and left. The two guards behind him sneaked a glance at Dudian. Although Rosik claimed that Dudian was just a guard of his house, but the two guards who Rosik had trained for many years knew Dudian’s true identity. They also knew that their other companion had died at the hands of the young man.
“Ice Worm, searching outside the giant wall…”
Dudian ignored the surrounding eyes. He looked at the scenery outside the hotel. He was immersed in his thoughts. He felt that the banquet was a trap. Otherwise the contents of the banquet wouldn’t have spread out so quickly. Even Rosik knew about it, most of the other lords were aware of it. Even the other lords who weren’t invited had also received the news. Sometimes the news that flowed in the dark spread faster and more widely than the news that was widely advertised.
However, Dudian didn’t think that there was a conspiracy. Was this banquet going to be a hongmen banquet? He didn’t believe that so many lords would be killed in the king’s city. In that case, the territories controlled by the Lords wouldn’t be in chaos. The king’s city wouldn’t want to see such a situation, unless the person in charge of the king’s city was a brutal and muddleheaded wall master.
Dudian thought carefully about the idea of brutal and muddleheaded. After all, strength reached the abyss. It didn’t mean that one’s moral character, inner content, and self-cultivation had reached the abyss.
There were many strange people in the world who had created records in their own professional fields. However, their moral character and knowledge were in a mess. Even some people who specialized in knowledge and literature were the same, a writer who could write praises for life might not have great reverence for life. Perhaps all he had was the ability to sketch out such reverence.
He had seen far too many examples in Sylvia, using those famous people to create momentum when he usurped the royal family. Many masters who were known as upright and upright, and scholars who were known as ascetics, all succumbed to money and authority.
The so-called upright and upright might just be a selling point for their profits.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he was wrong. He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He didn’t have the mood to think about it anymore. In any case, he was different from before. Even if there was a conspiracy, he believed that he could withstand it. After all.., in addition to himself being an abyss, Aisha was also the same..
