Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 308
After the commemorative ceremony, a rare banquet was held in the palace.

Queen Andromeda, unlike King Kepus, did not have a special love for banquets, but this was the first time she held a banquet since she ascended the throne.

In the resplendent palace, the banquet echoed with the graceful figure of the dancing girl and the music, and the atmosphere became more and more lively among the people gathered here to drink and exchange cups.

Andromeda's banquet was very different from that of King Kepus. At this time, not only the nobles of Argos gathered here, but also businessmen who came here to communicate and trade, skilled craftsmen, ordinary but There are also some reputable civilians, and even the destitute poor.

Of course, the guards of the palace also took corresponding and more stringent defensive measures for this. Even if the people attending the banquet can't feel it, if there is really a premeditated person planning to do something, any changes will not be able to escape The eyes of the guards wandering around the banquet.

Heading up the palace, her eyes swept over and looked at the joyful atmosphere at the banquet. Andromeda smiled and took a sip of the wine in her glass, then turned her face to look at the smiling person next to her, obviously enjoying the joyful scene. peak.

"Huh? Her Majesty."

Sensing Andromeda's gaze, Gao Feng turned his head to look at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and tilted his head slightly with a smile as a salute.

"Happy with the people, huh! Thanks for the advice, people seem to be having a good time."

Andromeda nodded slightly, her crystal lips slightly raised, and said with a cheerful smile.

Gao Feng nodded in response, but he didn't care about it at all. As a commoner of later generations, he really didn't have a deep feeling for the so-called kingship, especially because he still has the power to despise the kingship, so he proposed to make the previous confrontation with the people. The scene of having fun together, and didn't care whether it was in accordance with the rules.

Of course, Andromeda had to worry about these things, but she also felt that this was not a bad idea.

Hence this scene.

Looking at the people coming and going at the banquet, the attendants shuttled between them, and the stretched dancer, Gao Gao squinted his eyes, lifted the wine glass in his hand with a relaxed expression, and took a sip with a smile. He felt that the old days were boring. The boredom gradually disappeared for the most part at this moment.

"Esius, why are you staring there again? Come and have a glass of wine."

Gao Feng shifted his gaze slightly, and landed on Esius who was leaning against the pillar of the palace in a daze, sighed helplessly, and greeted him aloud.

"Well, sir?"

Esius came to his senses belatedly, the confusion in his eyes hadn't dissipated when he followed the prestige.

"The gods still haven't responded to you?"

When Esius came over, Gao Feng waved his hand and pointed to Esius beside him, and then an attendant brought a glass of wine to Esus, and he looked up at Esus and said jokingly.

Iseus has been following the priest of Argos for a long time, and often prays in the temple according to the priest's instructions. However, for some reason, the gods never have the slightest response to Iseus' prayer.

Gao Feng was not interested in this, but once he asked about it casually, that's what Esius said.

Esius's face was downcast, and he just shook his head when he heard the words, obviously not even in the mood to say a word.

"Judging from your unique talent, the gods may never respond to you. If you pray to Hades, you may be inspired."

Gao Feng rested his arms on the back of the chair, leaned his head on his fists, looked at Esius with a smile and said.

Esius trembled slightly when he heard the words, smiled reluctantly, shook his head and walked aside, but his back was a little awkward.

Seeing this, Gao Feng shook his head and ignored the guy who ran to the side and continued to be in a daze.

The banquet started in the morning and didn't end until dusk, and Andromeda and Gao Feng had already left before then.

After drinking all the wine, the singing and dancing subsided, and the joyful banquet came to an end. When the nobles and the poor stepped out of the palace together, there was a strange fun.

The guards also left one after another, only the guards began to tidy up the chores after the banquet.

Esius has not left at this moment. He is sitting next to the pool in the temple, looking blankly at the candles floating in the pool. The wine glass in his hand is still the same, but there is not a drop of wine in the glass. few.

Drago looked at the back of Esius and frowned slightly. He recognized the man who had accompanied and supported him back to Argos, and he even regarded him as a comrade in arms. However, Esius returned to Argos Soon after, he followed the sacrifices to worship the gods, but he was quite dissatisfied.

After all, he saw the true face of the gods from the Siren Kraken incident, so naturally he would no longer have the slightest so-called belief in the gods, so even though he was grateful to Esius, he never got close.

Especially after hearing that Esius prayed devoutly to the gods, but had not received any feedback from the gods so far, he felt even more indisputable.

"Esius, the banquet is over."

He shook his head and exhaled, stepped forward and patted Esius on the shoulder, and said in a low voice.

"Hi!~"

Draco felt as if his palm had been stabbed countless times, and his whole palm went numb for an instant, and he immediately retracted his palm, with a cold hiss coming from between his clenched teeth.

"Huh? Are you all right, Drago."

When Esius came back to his senses, he quickly got up and turned to look at Draco, his eyes glanced at his swaying palm, and his throat rolled subconsciously.

"what is that?"

Draco frowned, and there was a hint of inexplicable panic on his indifferent face that even he himself hadn't fully noticed. He stared at Esius and asked.

Even though it was just a random act just now, as an elite warrior among human beings, he still vaguely noticed the faint black light aroused by the pat on Esius' shoulder.

It's just that he wasn't completely sure about it, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable block in his heart, as if what he saw vaguely was just a blurred vision.

Hearing this, Esius tensed up and opened his mouth to speak.

At this moment, Draco shook his head suddenly, and said indifferently, "Anyway, Esius, the banquet is over, you should go back and have a good rest."

Having said that, he sighed, with disappointment and helplessness in his eyes, looked at Esius and whispered: "Stop praying to any god, it's useless."

After finishing the words, he had already turned and left, leaving only Esius stunned in place.

Esius' face was gloomy, he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth unconsciously twitched, his whole body felt a little inexplicably bitter.

After a long silence, he suddenly gritted his teeth and let out a low hum in his throat, raised his glass to his lips, raised his head and drank it down.

Dragu, who was leaving at this moment, couldn't see that there was a faint black light rising in Esius's eyes.
