Although it was called a celebratory banquet, there were many undercurrents. It was not simply a gathering of people to thank the gods for their blessings.

Xu Jun had been through many big occasions. In his previous life, he had been a cameo at the opening of a building in the city. He had watched the mayor cut the ribbon and was photographed by many reporters.

When he played other games before, for example, "Maid Restaurant 2", the service was so good that even the president of Country A came for coffee.

That was enough to drive him crazy.

However, this kind of banquet was different. It was obviously a group of young people — at least, they had young faces. However, there were many thoughts in their minds.

After Xu Jun came in, he found that the people here were pretentious for a long time even to hold a wine glass.

The Orcs looked rough, but they were meticulous. Each one of them had a rare IQ.

The humans were gentle and elegant, and their manners were appropriate. They were similar to those who walked out of etiquette textbooks.

The Holy Light Elves and the Moonlight Elves did not come. These two were big shots and did not care about anyone. However, Xu Jun suspected that the Moonlight Elves did not come because their Tree of Life had not fully recovered. Moreover, he heard that the Moonlight Elves' king had died suddenly. The new king was busy with various affairs and did not have time to attend the Grace Festival.

A few Wood Elves stood in the corner. They had dark red hair, but their lips and eyes were light green. They stood quietly and did not speak. They seemed to be very timid and were protecting an important person of their race behind them.

Beside them stood two young girls with smooth skin and fins wrapped around their ankles. They looked a little familiar. They were from the Mermaid Clan and belonged to the Immortal Clan. The two young girls were probably hundreds of years old.

In the middle of the hall, there was a table half the height of a person. It was full of food. The waiters around it were carrying plates and wine. It was a buffet.

In order to cater to the taste of all the participants, there were one or two small rooms around the hall. The doors were closed. There was a sign hanging above one of them. The words were written in red: "Slaughterhouse."

This was because the Orcs liked to eat raw food.

Similarly, the Wood Elves and Water Elves were pure energy bodies and didn't like to eat. Usually, they would be full just by sucking some flower dew. They also had a special room.

The organizers of the Grace Day celebration were the Golden Banner and the Illuminati. The two had been working together for hundreds of years, and their relationship was getting better and better. The Golden Banner had the most people who believed in the Illuminati, and the Illuminati had the most protection for the Golden Banner.

Although they didn't like the Beastmen and didn't think highly of small races like the Wood Elves and the Water Elves, they were still able to get along on the surface. No one could even find fault with them.

Deinister knew that although Xu Jun was experienced and knowledgeable, he didn't know much about politics. He didn't know much about the disputes between the forces in the dark, so he pointed out one by one to him. "The Wood Elves have moved to the west of the Moonlight Elves. They have reached a friendly agreement with the current king of the Moonlight Elves. The Water Elves have been following the Wood Elves.

They were originally located in the north near the sea and had a good relationship with the local Merpeople. But now, the Merpeople there are in decline. They are being chased around by the Serpentis … "Speaking of this, the tip of his nose wrinkled slightly.

Just then, there was a noise. Xu Jun saw that not far away from them, there was a commotion near the buffet table.

It was two girls from the Serpentis and the Merpeople. When he took a closer look, he found that these two girls were old acquaintances. When he sneaked into the ruins of the Temple of the Sun, he passed by the Merpeople that these two girls belonged to. Oh my god, the Merpeople looked strange and charming, but they were actually very cruel. At first, they thought that he was a thief, so everyone wanted to beat him up. Later, they didn't even give Xu Jun a proper name.

The Serpentis looked the same, but the Merpeople were not. The Merpeople were pure and innocent, while the Sea Serpents were enchanting. It was a sharp contrast between the pure and unpretentious Sea Serpents and the coquettish Sea Serpents.

Moreover, most of the Sea Serpent Clan's warriors were male this time, and when they smiled, there was a hint of evilness. A few young men were about to approach the mermaid's face, but when they were slapped away by the mermaid, they continued to surround her.

The people around them whispered. Everyone knew that the Serpentis and the Merpeople had disputes since ancient times. It was similar to the relationship between the Holy Light Elves and the Moonlight Elves.

However, for hundreds of years, the Merpeople had been weaker than the Serpentis. Thirty years ago, they even lost their territory to the Serpentis.

After that, the Serpentis suddenly became a new force and became a big race in the northwest sea. Everyone said that the Serpentis were going to do something big, and the sea was going to change. However, no one guessed what the Serpentis wanted to do.

Until three years ago, they suddenly came to the surface.

The way the three men of the Serpentis laughed and laughed was disgusting. Perhaps in another place, they would appear to be quite flirtatious. But here, in a place that was supposed to be serious, their behavior only made people look down on them.

Deinister thought about what the Serpentis had done in recent years. He was also annoyed. "They are a group of barbarians, but they have great ambitions. The Sea Serpents can survive on land. Now that they have developed on land, they first took over the land that originally belonged to the Water Elves and the Wood Elves. They severed the relationship between the two elves and the Merpeople. Then they reorganized some scattered Orc tribes. To put it bluntly, they are a group of Orc bandits. Now their appetite is even bigger, and they want to reach inland."

The transmission of information in this world was not as developed as in Xu Jun's original world. Many things were passed down by word of mouth. Bards and newspapers would not go to remote villages. Therefore, after staying in the south for a long time, Xu Jun did not know much about the north.

"What did they do before?"

Xu Jun asked and clenched his fists. This group of Serpentis were not good people. They took advantage of the two Mermaids when they did not dare to fight. The two Mermaids were both mages. If they really fought, they would not be at a disadvantage. But if they used magic in this kind of situation, the situation would be serious. The Merpeople were not as strong as they were a few decades ago. If they fought at this time, they would not only offend the Sea Serpents.

Deinister said coldly, "The last time they came to participate in the Grace Festival, they challenged His Majesty the Pope in the fighting competition. His Majesty won by a narrow margin. The opponent was the Second Priest. His Majesty could not keep up. He let the Second Priest go back alive and talk nonsense."

A narrow victory meant that it was not easy to win. The opponent was only the Second Priest. His Majesty the Pope was the one to fight. A narrow victory was embarrassing enough.

Almost everyone was watching the commotion, but the Sea Serpents were not going to let it go. The men laughed even louder, and the content was even more disgusting. "Hmm?

Why do you think the Merpeople let women fight now?

They won't let women fight in the fighting competition later, will they? "" That's right. They want to take advantage of their beauty. Hahaha! "" Take advantage of what? "

The Mermaids were ashamed and angry. They were strong. At a young age, they had the magical ability to become Magicians. Otherwise, the elders would not have brought them out this time.

But they came to get a good ranking in the fighting competition and win glory for their race, not to make trouble at the banquet.

Maybe the elders and the chief of the Merpeople protected them so well that they did not know how to fight back when they encountered this kind of thing.

The Wood Elf, who had a good relationship with the Merpeople, had an ugly look on his face. He wanted to come over and take care of it, but he was stopped by Water Fairy, who motioned him to look to the side.

The relationship between the various races participating in the competition was complicated. There were not many who were stupid and sweet. Those who could come here were either self-respecting or old foxes. No one was willing to take the lead and take care of things. Moreover, they were just talking and did not do anything. The leader of the younger generation of Serpentis who came this time was still standing firmly on the side. It was the wheat-skinned man with curly hair like seaweed. He also came to participate in the fighting competition after Grace Day last time. He was strong and ranked at the top. He was probably second only to the Magician Kaspinder -Toloman of the younger generation on the human side.

He was not someone to be trifled with.

The most annoying thing about the Serpentis was that their mouths were cheap. If they lost, they could find ten thousand excuses for themselves. If they won, they would belittle their opponents into a hole in the ground, making more people treat them like mad dogs.

Humans were not afraid of dogs, but they were afraid of mad dogs coming up and biting them, right?

Deinister said hatefully, "These bastards. When they don't get anything, they say we are bullying the weak. When they get a little stronger, they step on others. Previously, they forced a female warrior to almost commit suicide in the fighting competition. It's outrageous!"

Saintess Aiur had been silent all this time. When she saw that the behavior of the Sea Serpent men was getting more and more outrageous, she could not bear it anymore.

She took a step forward, but was stopped by a hand.

Xu Jun moved his neck and said to Deinister, "Well, this kind of people are the most abominable."

As he spoke, he swung his arm and went straight to the Serpentis who were making trouble. He gently helped the girl and the man who almost fell down. "You are mages. This is a place for warriors. Go away."

The mermaid and the girl looked at each other, not quite understanding what was going on.

The Sea Serpent men also frowned. When they were thinking about whether to continue harassing the girl or simply surround the humans and beat them up, Xu Jun finally swung his arm and punched the leader of the Sea Serpent men in the face!

Serpentis were generally taller than humans and not much worse than orcs, but they were knocked down to the ground by Xu Jun's punch. They covered their nose and did not know whether to scream or get up to fight back.

Xu Jun did not give them a chance. He kicked them hard in the waist. He deliberately wore pointed calfskin shoes to attend the banquet today.

"— Ouch!!!"

Only then did his companions realize that there was actually someone who dared to fight at this level of banquet!

There was actually someone who dared to fight!

And this person was not a mermaid!!!

What did he have to do with mermaids?!

They could not understand, but they knew that their companions had suffered a great loss. In a hurry, they surrounded Xu Jun. Unfortunately, the Sea Serpents were used to fighting in open places, and their moves were more open. As soon as Xu Jun bent down, he dodged them. He mercilessly used his knees and elbows to beat up a few Sea Serpents.

The first Sea Serpent man who was knocked down to the ground shouted, "You, you, you — you humans think you are noble, but you bully us small races!"

After he finished speaking, he saw Xu Jun grinning at him.

"What are you shouting for?

Hmm? "

Xu Jun was like a street gangster. He grabbed the Sea Serpent man's hair and made him face himself. "I think I'm noble?

Who saw me think I'm noble?

Did you see it?

Your eyeballs don't work. Why don't I gouge them out for you? "

The Serpentis covered his eyes in fear. Xu Jun pulled his hand down again. "If you win, you talk nonsense. If you lose, you curse. Who allowed you to learn from me?"

Everyone present: "…"

This, this, this — Why was there such a hooligan here?

But to be honest, he was quite handsome. _ (: 3,∠) _

This time, even the few immature kids who had been unhappy with Xu Jun and thought that Xu Jun was a love rival cheered loudly.

The young leader of the Serpentis who was holding the fort finally could not hold back and came over. "Human, if you want to fight, you have to wait two days."

Xu Jun narrowed his eyes. "Well, why didn't you say that when your warriors were pestering the Mermaid Mage just now?"

The young leader of the Serpentis warriors did not answer. "You did it for the Mermaids?

Sure enough, the Mermaids are very good at seducing people. "

When the two mermaids heard this, their faces turned red, but they saw that Xu Jun did not refute. He just patted the Sea Serpent man's butt. "So what?

You're jealous. You want to seduce me, but I don't like you. "

The crowd burst into laughter. The leader of the Sea Serpent warriors finally could not maintain his flirtatious expression. His face turned green and white, and he dragged his people to the side.

"Human, I'll see you in the arena!" After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said this.

But it did not matter what he said. Now, Xu Jun was the focus of the banquet. He was like a hero, surrounded by the young people led by Deinister Ska. The Wood Elves and the Water Elves carefully surrounded him. The Orcs even laughed loudly, saying that this human warrior's temperament was very similar to theirs. The two mermaids' faces were now red, but they were excited — they did not know why they were so excited.

If they really wanted to find a reason, it was probably because … they had watched a delightful roguelike in a solemn and solemn occasion, and they had even won.

Like Serpentis, the Demon King's Guard Corps Commander, Bolai, also did not participate in the banquet. This guy was tongue-tied, and he looked at Xu Jun as if he had swallowed ten stinging bees.

— — This is the human that Your Majesty The Demon King likes!!!

— — This, this is too!

Wasn't this a little too strong?

The Demon King's Guard Corps Commander roared in his heart: Look at this rough and unreasonable human, why is he so compatible with us demons?!!!

The author has something to say: Xu Jun didn't deliberately make himself look like a hooligan. He just didn't want the Sea Serpents to have anything else to say. Those who are bold are afraid of those who are unreasonable, and those who are unreasonable are afraid of those who don't care about their lives. These Sea Serpents are just using their power to bully little girls. In fact, they are not even unreasonable.

Ah … I hope that Xu Jun's image in everyone's heart will not be destroyed because of this.

I'm so scared.

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
