Who told him to rush up there?

Chapter 156: Royal Palace Banquet



But Eli is really promising. He was able to hook up with Princess Lina while fighting bravely on the front line. Now that he has his daughter, he can easily deal with his father-in-law who dotes on her.

You should know that the emperor is very obedient to Princess Lina. As long as Princess Lina is sure of it, even if Eli is just a small baron, the emperor will probably have to accept it.

In order to show his respect for Eli, the great minister, the old emperor and the high officials and nobles went out of the city to greet him on foot. Now that they have to go back to the imperial capital, naturally everyone has to walk. Even if Eli and his group are leading horses, no one dares to ride them.

Even Eleanor, who is usually the most lively and active, behaved very well at this time, walking upright behind Eli, like a little follower imitating the behavior of adults.

Because the matter of Eli and Princess Lina attracted everyone's attention, no one cared about such a small thing for a while, not to mention her, even Alyssa, who was as tall as a three-story building, was not cared about. After all, the Dawn Empire and the Kingdom of Dragons were firm allies, and all kinds of dragons were not rare in the Dawn Empire.

Of course, the main reason was that no one knew Eleanor and Alyssa. Although Eleanor was also a princess of the Dwarf Kingdom, with the rank of the Dawn Empire, she usually came into contact with people from the six empires. Although they did not look down on the nobles from the twelve kingdoms, they really didn't pay much attention to them.

As for Alyssa, it was completely different from half a year ago. Even the Duke and Duchess of Bruno, who had fed it since childhood, did not recognize it. When they were whispering to each other, they also muttered where Alyssa had gone and why there was no dragon?

As for Evelyn, who followed Eli silently like a ghost, she was directly classified by everyone as Jessica and Cecilia. Such a weak but beautiful girl was of course a concubine in name only.

When it comes to royal travel, there are many rules and regulations, because no one dares, and no one is actually allowed to walk in front of the emperor. The speed of the group depends entirely on the speed of the old emperor.

As the emperor of the Dawn Empire, although no one requires him to have strong strength, for the sake of his own life, the emperors of each generation will practice for a while, not forcing themselves to be extraordinary, but at least asking to enter a high level and prolong their life.

This generation of the emperor of the Dawn Empire is already 150 years old this year, and his strength is barely maintained at the eighth level.

Relying on the fact that a small number of human geniuses from past generations have ascended to the God Realm, the entire human race has been promoted and their lifespan has increased significantly. Although the old emperor is now old, he still has a long time before his death, and his mental and physical conditions are still good.

There were no twists and turns along the way. Under the leadership of the old emperor, the group soon arrived outside the imperial capital.

The Dawn Empire Capital in front of them is Eli's home for two lifetimes, and it is also where Jessica and Cecilia grew up. They are very familiar with everything in the imperial capital, so when they approached the imperial capital and saw this towering giant city, they felt nothing but intimacy.

But for people from other countries, the giant city in front of them is a very impactful existence.

Eleanor is from the Dwarf Kingdom, and Evelyn is from the Undead Principality. Compared with Eli and others, they are all from small countries. To be honest, they have never seen a city like the Dawn Empire Capital.

Although they had not yet entered the city, the solid and gorgeous tall city walls alone were enough to blind their eyes. As expected of the first empire on the continent, the stones used to build the city walls were carefully polished, and they looked very neat and impressive.

Following the crowd through the city gate, even Alyssa's height could not reach the top of the gate even if she jumped up. It was much higher than the city gate of the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom.

When the group entered the city, they were greeted by a prosperous scene. Even when the emperor was traveling, there was no street cleaning. People were coming and going on the wide streets that could accommodate ten cars in parallel. Countless luxuriously decorated or exquisite shops were lined up, and customers were everywhere.

A little further away, there were tall buildings with exquisite layouts, and a high-end atmosphere came to the face. Most of the people there were well-dressed and had extraordinary temperaments. They were obviously upper-class people at first glance.

This was just an ordinary street near the city gate. It was far from the center of the Dawn Imperial Capital, but it was already more lively and prosperous than the highest-end urban areas of the Dwarf Kingdom and the Undead Principality.

Eleanor was like a country person who had just walked into a big city for the first time. Her big eyes flickered and she didn't know where to look. She looked everywhere and thought it was better than her own kingdom. Compared with here, the capital of the dwarf kingdom was like a junction of urban and rural areas.

Evelyn's performance was slightly better than Eleanor's. After all, she was born in a human kingdom. Unlike the alien Eleanor, she was only surprised by the highest point of human civilization in front of her, and she didn't have much envy.

However, because they had to follow Eli's pace, the two women couldn't wander around the city. They could only wait until next time to take a good look at the scenery of this huge city.

Unconsciously, the crowd, escorted by the imperial guards, walked through the downtown, high-end streets, and prosperous scenes, all the way to the outside of the imperial city in the center of the imperial capital.

Compared with other bustling streets, the area where the imperial city is located is much quieter. There are no high-rise buildings, no shops, and no pedestrians. There are only luxurious palaces that reveal a hint of coldness in the silence.

Since it is called the Imperial City, there are naturally city walls here, but unlike the city walls outside that are finely polished piece by piece, the walls of this Imperial City are all made of huge white jade stones and do not need to be polished at all. The material itself is extremely gorgeous.

This imperial city is so big that even a high-level powerhouse can't see it all at a glance. To surround all the palaces that are so big inside, the amount of white jade consumed is completely terrifying, which is only possible for the Empire of Dawn. The heroic spirit, if it were any one of the Twelve Kingdoms, the cost of the imperial city wall alone would be enough to build a dozen large cities.

Following His Majesty the Emperor into the palace gate made of golden wood, except for Eli, Princess Lena, Jessica, Cecilia, Evelin, Eleanor and Alyssa, the rest of the people who followed Eli back home All the members of the guard stayed outside the imperial city, and they were not qualified to enter the palace due to their status.

In fact, as Eli's lieutenant, Londo was qualified to follow, but in order to command the guards, he voluntarily stayed outside. Fortunately, the old emperor returned to his old age, but he was not stupid. All of these soldiers who fought with Eli were They are meritorious people, how could he treat them harshly.

After Eli and others left, the palace people came out of the palace and welcomed all the guards standing outside. The war horses were also arranged to be properly placed. However, unlike the real dignitaries, they were arranged to leave the main house. In the nearest side hall of the palace, the banquet is definitely of high standard.

When the members of the guard in the side hall began to have a banquet, in the main hall next to it, high-ranking officials and nobles gathered together, taking their seats in order according to their official titles, but there was one exception, and that was Eli. His most formal official position now is still in the Demon Hunting City. The city lord, but he sat in the first place on the lower left side of the emperor, where only prince-level dignitaries were supposed to be eligible to sit.

On this occasion, the beautiful girls who were following Eli closely before, except Princess Lena who was still sitting next to him, other people and dragons were arranged far away from him.

Fortunately for Eleanor, as the princess of the dwarf kingdom, her position is still relatively high. Evelin is much worse, almost near the end. As for Jessica and Cecilia, they and Alyssa Same, it is the last seat directly, but I have to say that it is indeed the palace of the Dawn Empire. Even just one of the palaces can easily accommodate so many people plus a half-sized dragon.

To be honest, Eli doesn't really like the rules of ranking based on seniority and sitting according to status, but considering that this is the most particular royal palace in the world, it's not too disrespectful to his future father-in-law.

"Come on, everyone, raise your glasses and give a toast to our anti-magic hero."

As the old emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, raised his wine glass, the palace banquet specially held for Eli officially began.

After the old emperor finished speaking, everyone present raised their wine glasses high, saluted in the direction where Eli was sitting, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

"Saint Eli has brilliant military exploits and has killed countless demons. He has brought a bad breath to our empire."

"It is said that the demons were killed by Saint Eli. Even the strongest demon king is far from being a match for Saint Eli. He is really a hero."

"Sage Eli has such strength at such a young age, and his future achievements are limitless. Within three to five years, our Dawn Empire will definitely have one more venerable person."

"More than just a venerable saint, Saint Eli has the potential to become a god. It will only be a matter of time before he becomes a god..."

"Saint Eli is invincible in his power, and Princess Lina is so beautiful. The two of them are truly a match made in heaven. I just don't know when I will be able to drink their wedding wine."

"..."

After everyone present put down their wine glasses, they did not hesitate to praise Eli. They praised Eli to the point that he would not be able to do it for a thousand years, and it was rare in ten thousand years. Even if there were gods in the sky looking down on the mortal world, they dared to praise Eli to the sky. go.

"I just put in a little extra effort on the battlefield, and I get more credit for my shamelessness. But it was still the soldiers who worked together and followed me to fight the enemy so that I could return to this day with my merits."

Eli also put down his wine glass at this time. He naturally had to be modest about the praises from everyone. This was the same no matter where he was. No one would take the initiative to brag about the extent of his achievements, except for the heroes who insisted on being brave in the past.

"At a young age, neither arrogant nor impetuous, Lina has good taste..."

The old emperor shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Eli, who was not arrogant at all, with a satisfied smile on his face.

As the emperor of the Empire of Dawn, he knows the current aristocratic children of the empire very well. Most of them are either arrogant or misbehaving, and a few are modest and cautious. There are very few people who are extraordinary, have unlimited potential, and know how to be humble.

"Eli, you should know that uncle has always favored Lina. Since she has chosen you, uncle will not go against her. But you must also remember that you must love Lina and treat her as a treasure. She She is my only daughter. Even if you have made great contributions to the country and are expected to become a god in the future, you must not let me find out that you have treated her badly. "

If what the old emperor said before was an encouragement to the heroes, then what he said now was from his heart. In just a few words, his self-proclaimed name changed from uncle to emperor unknowingly. This shows how serious he is.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I love Lina so much that I am with her. I may not guarantee anything else, but I will love my own woman for the rest of my life. Eli will never let her down. your Highness."

As he spoke, Eli picked up the newly filled wine glass, stood up solemnly, raised the glass and toasted the old emperor from a distance, then drank the wine in the glass, without leaving a drop.

Listening to Eli's words, Princess Lina, who was sitting next to him, silently sipped the juice, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face. She didn't like drinking, but watching the two most important men to her toasting and drinking around her topic, as a girl, she was embarrassed to say a word at this time.

Although the relationship with Eli was due to the temptation of three years of sainthood, if you look closely, they are not in love, but more like a transaction, but with Lina's character, once she has determined something, she will never change it easily.

As long as Eli can really fulfill his promise, then Lina is really willing to be with him for life, and she is really optimistic about Eli himself. He has no obvious shortcomings, and his advantages are everywhere. No matter how you look at it, he is a good man.

As for feelings, at Lina's age, she dare not say that she understands them, but she knows that they can be cultivated, just like her father and mother. Before the Orc Kingdom presented her mother to her father, they had never even met each other, so how could they have any feelings? But now? They are so loving.

"With your words, uncle is relieved. When I am free, uncle will ask people to choose a good day to marry Lina to you. I hope you don't let uncle down."

After hearing Eli's speech, the old emperor also asked the serving palace servants to fill a glass for him, but as the emperor of the empire, he still sat on the dragon throne, just raised the glass and clinked it with Eli, and then said with a serious face.

Granted marriage? Isn't it a little too early?

Hearing the old emperor's words, Eli couldn't help but be stunned. Although he had the idea of ​​marrying Princess Lina and getting the most luxurious dowry in history, it was a little too fast now.

After temporarily leaving the battlefield, his main focus in the near future should be on training and cultivating beautiful girls. Relying on his huge wealth to recruit soldiers and arm the team is part of his plan, but not at this moment.
