Chapter 179 The Queen's Banquet
On King King, the most grand banquets are generally dinners, because there are thirty-six hours in a day on this planet, and the interval between dinner and early morning is more than nine hours, and ordinary people only have this time to eat. free.
When Gu Ding and his party arrived at the banquet site, it was still dark, and the crowds were arriving one after another.
At this time, Guding and his party seemed rather embarrassed, because most of the people invited by Camelia were from the forces in Hanoi. Many people knew each other, and they got together and chatted happily when they met. Gu Ding and his party didn't have any acquaintances here.
Their newcomers, who debuted less than half a year ago and entered Jiehe less than a month ago, were invited by Camelia to the banquet, which was completely unexpected by all other forces.
Of course, although Guding didn't know anyone else, many teams recognized him. Most of the interstellar pirates in Jiehe had seen the video of the battle between him and Arlo. There are many teams who don't recognize the strength of Guding's team, especially those who saw Yalo's injury, and they feel that Guding's victory in the battle was a fluke.
"It seems that we are not very popular." Liliat raised the wine glass in Yang's hand and took a sip.
"Just treat it as a free meal, and I'll leave tomorrow anyway." Gu Ding didn't care about other people's attitudes.
Tagore's little thief cat has also disappeared, and he doesn't know where to steal it.
"Guding, I didn't expect to see you here." A young man who looked like twenty-five or sixteen years old walked towards Guding, and he raised his wine glass to say hello from a distance.
"His name is Ike. He is the leader of the Golden Lion Pirates. His pirate group is also the second largest force in the entire boundary river, second only to Camelia's Scorpion Pirates. Although he looks only twenty Many years old, his real age is more than 1,700 years old, and he is also a strong twelfth-order genetic body. It is said that he stayed in this boundary river to pursue Camelia. It is said that he He got two immortal fruits in the sea of the universe, which can keep people's appearance forever youthful. Besides eating one himself, he gave the other one to Camelia."
After listening to Neptune's introduction, Gu Ding also raised the Mirka in his hand, "Captain Ike, nice to meet you."
Ike has also approached at this time, his eyes paused for a while on the Milka in Guding's hand, he shook his head and said, "Captain Guding's taste is really unique, drinking Milka on this occasion. Is it okay to be seen by the eldest sister?" I know what the reaction will be."
"No way, my physique is quite special, and I can't touch alcohol." Gu Ding smiled. He didn't say why he couldn't drink alcohol.
"So this is ah.
"Ike understood that some of Guding's abilities may be restricted by alcohol, and once he drinks, some abilities may not be available. In fact, the deputy captain on his ship has a similar ability restriction and cannot drink sweet drinks. Listen to Guding Explain that he doesn't intend to delve into this kind of issue anymore." I really didn't expect Camelia to invite you. Didn't mean to belittle you in any way. I have known Camelia for more than 300 years, even longer than her coming to Jiehe. Her banquet will invite newcomers, but those newcomers have established a firm foundation in Jiehe, and they swear that in the future they will definitely Allegiance to her within the time period. And you. Neither condition is met, so I'm pretty sure she won't invite you to this banquet. Until I saw you just now. I just realized I was wrong. "
"We were also surprised when we received the invitation." Guding smiled a little awkwardly. In fact, he didn't even know who Camelia was before receiving the invitation.
"When are you going to leave this planet?" Ike suddenly asked a strange question.
"Leave early tomorrow morning!" Gu Ding felt that he had already done his shopping in the past few days, and as long as he solved the problem of the Dark Demon Realm tonight, he could start again.
"So fast?"
"We've lived here for four days, and we've played everything we need to do, so there's no need to stay any longer." Guding didn't feel that the schedule was rushed.
"Starting from here, we will be able to leave Jiehe in less than two weeks." Ike nodded, "We may also meet in Feimei Universe Country by then."
"Feimei Universe Kingdom?" Guding was a little puzzled, "Are you planning to leave Jiehe?"
"After so many years, it's time to leave. The lifespan of the twelfth-order gene body is only 1,800 years old, and I have less than 80 years left. As an interstellar pirate, I have to die in the universe sea. Our biggest dream, isn't it?" Ike looked calm. "I'm here this time, in addition to celebrating Camelia's birthday, I'm also here to say goodbye..."
Gu Ding was also quite touched by the chat with Ike. It was not about love, but about time. He didn't know who would be left by his side when he was seventeen hundred years old. Maybe some people will choose to leave like Ike to find what belongs to them, maybe someone will get married and have children, and then quit the business of interstellar pirates...
Liliat felt otherwise, "He is a good man, and he has been by a woman's side for more than three hundred years. If I were Camelia, I would have married a long time ago."
"I don't think he is strong enough. If I bring him back to challenge Dad, he will definitely be killed by Dad." Elsa held her chin and looked at Ike's back. When she heard the topic of getting married, her first thought His first reaction was to take him back to challenge his father.
"Guding, those two people from the Dark Demon Realm have arrived at the port." The voice of the Sea Emperor suddenly came.
Gu Ding's face was gloomy. Although he had been waiting for the arrival of these two people, his mood couldn't get better. When he thought about the old man poisoning Lily, he was furious.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and flickering flames rose from the walls around the palace, instantly illuminating the whole palace.
After the flames rose, a woman in a purple dress slowly walked down the stairs, and a pair of pink Heantian Gao slowly walked towards the banquet hall with a rattling sound.
The woman's perfect figure under the long corset skirt made many men swallow. The proud chest was only half exposed, but the gully on the chest could not be covered. Even the neck is porcelain white and flawless, without any wrinkles left by the years. As for that face, there was only a light layer of plain clothing on it, it was as delicate as a piece of fragile artwork, making people only dare to look at it from a distance.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, showing a polite smile, which did not conceal her indifference. She has held this kind of banquet so many times that she can no longer find anything new.
"Welcome everyone to my birthday party. Today is my 1,700th birthday." When she said this, her voice paused, "That's right, it's 1,700 years old, not seventeen years old, or Twenty-seven years old..."
When Camelia was giving a speech, Liliat stared at her carefully and looked up and down. After a long time, she asked with some uncertainty, "Guding, do you feel that Camelia and the previous couple Does it look a bit like the woman with glasses we saw at the Freedom Reserve the other day?"
Bigger and Elsa on the side shook their heads after careful observation.
"The appearance is completely different, right? This sister is much more beautiful. Although the glasses sister is not ugly, she is not at the same level as the current one." Elsa gave her own point of view.
"The temperament is a bit similar. As for the appearance, they are completely two people." Big also gave his own point of view.
Robert chose not to express his opinion on this topic. He is a mechanical race, and his aesthetics is very different from that of humans. On the contrary, he thinks that the glasses woman he met before is more beautiful.
Guding narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and down, and then muttered in a low voice, "The height is about the same; the face looks a bit similar, but Camelia's facial features are more delicate; the teeth look similar; It’s not the same, Kaya sometimes laughs heartily, but the Camelia in front of her always smiles with the same expression, as if her face has been injected with a curing agent... However, judging by her temperament , The two should be the same person." Guding actually didn't see much information, but he intuitively thought that Camelia should be the Kaya that his group met in the free reserve.
"Your judgment is correct. Camelia and Kaya are indeed the same person." After listening to everyone's analysis, Neptune gave the answer. "I saw with my own eyes that after you went to the nature reserve that morning, Camelia deliberately disguised herself as Kaya and followed you secretly."
"Why didn't you tell us about this when we were in the nature reserve?" Gu Ding frowned slightly. The Sea Emperor knew the other party's identity a long time ago, but concealed it.
"Because I don't think she was malicious at the time, maybe she just wanted to get to know us. If I told you in advance that she was Camelia, you would inevitably become uncomfortable when you were with her. So I simply concealed it. It turns out that you had a lot of fun without knowing each other's identities." Neptune explained.
"No wonder those two dragons are so docile in front of her!" Liliat had always questioned Kaya's identity at that time, but she never thought that Kaya was the boss of this boundary river, Camelia.
"I've finished all the nonsense I want to say. Everyone can sit back in their seats and enjoy dinner." Camelia raised her glass to everyone, took a sip, and then looked at the one where Guding was. The table walked over and sat on the empty seat next to Guding.
"Guding, this can be regarded as our second meeting." Camelia smiled.
"Yeah, thank you for that time in the nature reserve, we had a great time." Gooding said that he already knew the disguise made by the other party at that time.
Camelia was taken aback for a moment, but she just smiled and shook her head, "So you all already know."
At this moment, the door to the banquet was suddenly pushed open... ()
