Chapter 158:

    —Sure enough.

    The knight commander and all the priests were not surprised by this scene at all, and even had a strange mentality of "it really is".

    But for the nobles who have never seen Tang Xiao's behavior, a few commoners who neither flinch nor bow down are tantamount to slapping them in the face.

    Only for the sake of the knight commander, the soldiers did not let the soldiers drag these people down.

    As for what these commoners say... Angels and sages?

    There was a burst of laughter at the banquet.

     

    Angie's face was ugly.

    In her last life, she was guided by nobles such as Saibo. She came to the capital in full costumes and was treated very respectfully. Therefore, they never thought that after changing a scene, these nobles would reveal their superficial and ignorant faces.

    There is no need for Tang Xiao to speak, her fists are already hard.

    The knight commander was also sweating profusely, realizing that they had missed the most important process—putting Tang Xiao and others into luxurious dresses!

      the old man. Apart from that, they can't see other cognition at all from their vision.

    I just hope that the evil spirits around me don't get angry on the spot... The knight commander winked, and the high priest understood that he had already sent someone to tell the king in advance what happened.

    Sure enough, even if there is dissatisfaction, Thomas' gully face is only a little more serious. He gestured to Tang Xiao with his eyes full of suspicion and fear: "The Dodo Kingdom has always treated sages and divine envoys with courtesy, and it is our honor to witness the birth of a new divine envoy... However, for Xiao Xiao and the dare to pretend to be We will never tolerate it.”

    The audience went quiet.

    Some nobles realized that the king also said the words "sage" and "envoy", instead of directly asking the soldiers to drag them out, their expressions were blank for a while.

    Tang Xiao was unexpectedly calm: "It can be proved at any time."

    According to the experience of Anji's last life, the way to verify the identity of the gods is to pray in front of the statue of the gods of Olympus. If you get a response, it means that it is a real god.

    But this time, the king didn't say the same thing: "...In that case, please trouble the sage to show your spells and skills in front of everyone until everyone is convinced."

     

    Angie: “…”

    She heard right?

    Let the sages and gods cast spells to please the nobles at noisy banquets like artisans playing tricks in public?

    Is it her memory is wrong or the world is wrong, how can the kings and nobles of Dodo be so crazy? !

      I have seen such a request... sages and gods are messengers recognized by gods, and only gods can give us identity verification, how can we be judged by... by nobles?"

    His words drew boos, and someone asked sarcastically, "What's your name, a commoner dressed as a beggar?"

    Rusa's lips trembled: "I used to be a sage..."

    "Once you were a sage, it means you are not now? Did the gods dislike you for being too ugly and exile you?"

    "Hahahahahaha..."

    "Quiet."

    The girl's clear voice sounded, neither light nor heavy, but it was instantly transmitted in the vast and noisy banquet hall, and it sounded evenly in everyone's ears.

    No one took it seriously at first, but as the holy white light shone down like a dazzling sun, the noise was like ducks strangled by their throats, one by one In incredible silence.

    Tang Xiao held a light brown wooden stick and threw it lightly, the wooden stick grew into a staff as tall as a person, and the soft white light emanated from the end of the stick, as if The pouring out lake water instantly filled most of the banquet hall.

    "The Light...it's the Light!"

     

    The king's eyes widened.

    Impossible, this is a power that only a great sage can have... But how could there be a great sage born in this world?

    Under the light, Barlow and others who were kneeling on one knee to the king also stood up. They were enraged at the humiliation they had just received, and their instinctual respect for nobles and kings was swept away in anger. Fortunately, Tang Xiao's spiritual power gave them a sense of relief and security, and they stood up as soon as their minds became hot.

    Kings do not respect gods, nor do they need to respect kings and nobles. What is the difference between theocracy and kingship? I just want them to bow down.

    Tang Xiao waved his hand gently, the solid white light stopped a second before covering the throne of the king, and then retracted like a low tide.

    [Non-believers, not blessed by the Light]

    The holy light that was overflowing just now disappeared, and the banquet hall returned to its vulgar color, which was piled up with gold and silver treasures, and everyone was still stunned by the wonder just now. .

    Tang Xiao smiled casually: "Are you satisfied with what you just saw?"

    The nobles in the seats looked at each other, no one dared to speak.

    This farce started with the king, and naturally it can only end with the king. Thomas reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, his burly body stood up in person, and stretched out his hands to Tang Xiao, "The arrival of the sage is a great honor for this castle, as an apology, I will send a team of soldiers to **** the sage and the sage tomorrow. The divine envoy went to the kingdom of God."

      It's like sending people away.

    Tang Xiao smiled.

      Spread the faith and knowledge..."

    King: "…"

    He turned his cloudy eyes stiffly twice, and turned his eyes to the noble ministers who usually like to be quiet. But at this time, these people were as quiet as chickens, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

    A single holy light will scare your soul out of your body... a bunch of trash!

    The king who has experienced "Bloody Dodo" is obviously much calmer than the nobles. Even if he is slapped on the spot, he can smile and pretend that nothing has happened: "Okay, okay , we'll talk about that later. As for now, enjoying the dinner is the most important thing, isn't it?"

    The king raised his glass to salute Tang Xiao, and the nobles also raised their glasses one after another. The maids swarmed in and piled food and wine around Tang Xiao and his party, just waiting for their response.

    First slap and then give a sweet date, the indulgent attitude of the royal family is overwhelming. It is indeed a country that has suppressed theocracy for more than 20 years because the gods have not descended to earth.

    Under the watchful eyes of all, Anji felt that it was enough to save face for not rolling her eyes, not to mention that she was in the mood to drink. But to her surprise, Tang Xiao raised his glass and toasted it back.

    Is it just like this?

    In Anji's experience, Tang Xiao is by no means a person who treats humiliation lightly. unless…

    …Unless the situation no longer requires them to do it.

    Looking at this extravagant banquet, the crazed nobleman, the old-fashioned king, thinking of the ending that happened in the previous life, An Ji suddenly felt agitated and had a hint of enlightenment—

    Is it possible that something that happened more than ten years ago in the last life will be staged earlier this time?

    ***

    Fragrant clothes and temples, staggered.

    The king made plausible celebratory remarks on the high throne, but he was diverting his attention inside and outside the words, shifting the focus of the night from Tang Xiao and others back to the banquet itself.

    No matter how big your heart is, you can read a signal from it. The king does not want them to receive too much attention. No one can take away the light of the royal family, whether it is a sage or an angel.

    "Deceiving myself." Wu Shi sighed and pushed away the food in front of him with little interest.

    When he left the village of Flo, he was full of longing for the outside world and the expectation of the capital. Like most young people in the village, he was full of curiosity and faint worship of the legendary kings and nobles , but in the end it was full of disappointment.

      Starved slaves, civilians hide in their homes and dare not go out, it is simply an enlarged version of "Little Rock Village"!

    Everyone looked unhappy, and even their expectations for Mount Olympus dropped significantly.

    In addition to enjoying the meal, Tang Xiao did not forget the young people whose hearts were bruised: "Don't be sad, maybe when you meet the gods of Olympus, you will feel that the nobles like Dodo are also Not bad."

    Wushi et al: “…”

    I was comforted, thank you.

    From the high and narrow window, the sky outside the castle was completely dark. The night shrouded the entire earth, which seemed to correspond to the silent night, and the banquet in the castle was even more lively. Every nobleman is immersed in carefree pleasures and cares nothing about what happens outside the castle.

    King Thomas, who was also very drunk, went to the throne with a pure gold goblet and began to boast of his merits: "Dodo is able to have today's grand occasion, thanks to my command and Judgment... Everyone should always remember the war 20 years ago, I led the army to defeat the demons and let the people survive!"

    "Long live Your Majesty!"

    In the cheers, Rusa turned pale and took a sip of wine in a hurry, but the wine flowed down his beard: "Thomas, he was not like this before, how could it be like this? ?"

    Tang Xiao: "You mean twenty years ago?"

    According to the information shared by Angie and Russa, the backbone of the "Bloody Dodo" campaign 20 years ago was obviously sages from all over the continent, and almost all great sages were in that battle. Sacrifice - including the "First Sage of the Northern Continent" Ters, whom Rusa considered.

    And Rusa himself was also a participant in that battle, but now he is forced to sit here and listen to the king use the sacrifice of sages to bragging about himself, and he does not know how he feels.

    Rusa huddled in the corner silently, his old eyes looked at the equally old figure in the distance in disbelief, his voice hoarse: "The original Thomas was also a heroic knight, his swordsmanship No one in all of Dodor. He led his soldiers to fight alongside Tris..."

    The beginning of the story is similar to that of all heroic epics, but the tragic thing is that Thomas is a mortal mortal no matter how strong his swordsmanship is. Returning home to recuperate, the heroic epic ended without a hitch.

    Perhaps because of the unfavorable apprenticeship, the demons who invaded the capital at that time cast a shadow on his heart, and Thomas refused to go out again. However, he gave strong support to the army and sages, and devoted all the wealth of the kingdom to keep the king from being captured.

    After months of bitter and **** battles, the sages finally defeated the demons and returned to the castle in triumph. On that night, King Thomas used the last assets of the royal treasury to hold a grand welcome banquet for Thirs and other sages.

    "I remember very clearly, I was sitting on the right side, which is the position of Ushi, and Teres was sitting in front of me on the left, next to Thomas..."

    Rusa recalled a little absentmindedly, the vigorous vitality and erudite and lofty identity seemed to return to this old man who had achieved nothing for a moment, he squinted slightly, as if the glory scene of that day was vague right in front of you.

    ...On the second day of the banquet, the demons came back and attacked, and all the great sages fell in this earth-shattering war, including Tells.

    At the end of the battle, only a few people managed to escape, and Lusa was one of them. In order to survive, he abandoned his identity as a sage and became an ordinary person. "Rusa the Sage" has died, and the only survivor is an old man who traveled far away and made a living by deceiving others.

    This is also the case. When Chu Chen was still a puppet, he bluntly said that Rusa was already a dead person, because in the normal world line operation, he should have died twenty years ago.

    Speaking of sadness, Rusa rubbed his eyes tremblingly and poured himself a glass of wine, "Alas, things have changed, maybe I'm old, and I can't remember well..."

    The king was so proud of himself: "...that two-headed eagle wanted to take away the night pearl used for lighting on the city wall. There will never be night in the whole of Dodo!"

    "Long live Your Majesty!"

    Rusa threw the wine glass aside, "Fart, that two-headed eagle was obviously forced back by me with the Vulcan! This lousy old man is not a man, and he knows it if he doesn't fight well. Brag, 8*&%$*…”

    Tang Xiao: "Didn't you say that you have a bad memory in your old age? Maybe you remembered it wrong."

    Rusa: "How could I have a bad memory? I remember it clearly! I used to organize all the books and materials for Ters, and there is no one in the entire Dodo who has a better memory than me..."

     Halfway through speaking, Rusa saw Tang Xiao's interesting expression, and gradually became hoarse.

    Tang Xiao smiled and encouraged him: "If that's the case, then when you use your old age and poor memory as an excuse to avoid problems, I'm afraid you can't blame me for using force?"

    It's over, it's over. Rusa's expression gradually collapsed, turning into real sadness.

    At this moment, the king's speech reached a climax, and the banquet was filled with compliments and adoration:

    "It was I who drove the ethereal gods out of the capital, and returned the faith and wealth of the people to a high bloodline. These fine wines and delicacies, graceful maidens, soldiers and territories—they do not It belongs to the church, but to you. The Yarvin family, the Lei Weng family, the Dotamu family…”

    Every time the king uttered a name, the nobles behind the name stood up and toasted. There was a carnival at the banquet, but the "church priests" who were scolded by name could only sit in the lower seats with their faces ashen, daring not to say a word.

    From the perspective of the future, King Thomas is also a pioneer of "people-oriented". Tang Xiao had no idea about his reform ideas, and even understood why he rejected theocracy so much—in the **** Dodo months, the king had been killed and injured countless times, but the gods just sat high on the sacred mountain and didn't even let a fart. The king has a shadow in his heart.

    But he is still wrong. The mistake is that he only relies on self-deception to avoid the rule of the gods, but does not really develop productive forces to improve national strength.

    The false prosperity is false after all, as long as the gods intend to impose "punishment", or the demon strikes again, everything that Dodo maintains will fall apart.

    And this time, no great sage can sacrifice for the people.

     

    The staff standing on the ground suddenly glowed faintly, forcing the person to stop. Immediately, a maid came to remind everyone, and everyone turned to look, it turned out to be the king's wife, the queen of the Dodo Kingdom.

    The queen was wearing a gold-cut dress, and her beautiful face showed no signs of being middle-aged. She politely toasted Tang Xiao, and asked a few questions without any trace of words, but they were all blocked by Tang Xiao's serious nonsense.

    However, no matter what Tang Xiao said, the queen just smiled gently, as if she had no temper.

    Rusa saw this scene in the corner, and once again rubbed his eyes suspiciously: "Is it because my eyes are dim? Twenty years later, how come the queen is younger? Still so... "gentle?

    Barlow drank his tongue and asked without thinking, "What was the former queen like?"

    Rusa shuddered: "The former queen was arrogant and domineering, although it is not cruel, but it is impossible to show such a smile, I must have drunk too much to produce hallucinations..."

    Though the outside voices were small, they were all clearly heard by Tang Xiao. She raised her eyebrows and raised a glass of wine and nodded to the queen, "I heard that the queen used to be impatient, but now she has become gentle, is it true?"

      People should understand me."

    "She doesn't love her husband at all."

     

    Chu Chen was sitting in Tang Xiao's palm, holding his thumbs cautiously with both hands to prevent himself from falling, his delicate face was still expressionless, only slightly when he saw the queen frown.

    "If Lie has color, then she's all black."

    Tang Xiao put Chu Chen on the wine glass in his hand, Chu Chen gently touched the wine in the glass with his fingers, and the wine evaporated instantly.

    In the eyes of the queen who could not see Chu Chen, it was equivalent to Tang Xiao drinking the wine. She showed a satisfied smile and said in a soft voice:

    "It's just that I still have a question for the sage...Why did you come to the capital and try to bring the power of the gods back to this happy town that has long been free?"

    Wushi shook his hand and spilled the wine. The entire group, including him, instantly raised their heads to look at the queen, holding their breath for the words full of attack.

    Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows: "If you say Happy Township, you mean the king who was hunted by demons to kill civilians, nobles looting wealth, drunken to death, soldiers deceived, and corpses piled up in the alleys. If so...then I have no answer."

    Even if she doesn't speak loudly, her voice acts like a loudspeaker so that every corner of the party can be heard clearly. And the words that were too sharp were like a knife falling from the sky, piercing the king who was immersed in praise.

    The king squinted angrily, trying to see who was talking about these things recklessly. However, his eyes caught a glimpse of his gentle queen raising the corners of her lips... and then the corners of her lips cracked directly to the roots of her ears.

    …and so on.

    Wait?

    More and more places became silent, except for the noble minister above Jiujin who was still chatting, the rest of the people almost turned their heads and looked in the same direction.

    —There, the gentle and elegant queen smiled lightly, revealing a big mouth that could be swallowed into a human head, her beautiful face was torn apart, her sharp teeth filled half of her face, and the corners of her mouth were vague Saliva revealed.

    "You are right, this is our happy town and your burial place... Tang Xiao, the one who killed the tree demon, whether you are a demigod or a sage, has already After drinking my poisonous wine, I'm looking forward to the feeling of swallowing you...hehe..."

     Before she finished speaking, the queen stretched out her arm—the left hand that was as delicate as a lotus root had turned into a black mud, and then turned into a sharp knife with cold light, stabbing Tang Xiao's heart!
