Chapter 240 "Celebration Banquet"
Chapter 240 "Celebration Banquet"
There are six major island groups in Inazuma, each with its own characteristics.
Needless to say, Narukami Island is the main island. Not to mention that its scale is not inferior to other islands. Even if it is a small place, as long as the "Master of the Imperial Palace Narukami Lord" still lives there, then in Inazuma It can bear the words "unique" and "supreme".
Kannazuka was not very special originally, but since [Doctor] did something there, it has become quite special. In short - it could explode at any time.
Yatsuro Island is the place where the demon god "Aurobus" fell. This and its additional effects make it almost a "forbidden land". Like Kannazuka, many Inazuma people originally lived there. But now, he is so dead and so crazy. The group that suffered the best fate also left this hellish place.
Qinglai Island and Heguan can be mentioned together. Because the special features of these two places are inseparable from a name - "Capacchili", also known as "Thunderbird".
"Kapachili" is not her real name, it is a nickname given to her by a human child named Aji.
Because of the ignorance of the villagers, the child shed the last drop of blood. So the thunder of "Kapachili" flooded the place called Crane View. And that place became a dead place.
Later, "Kappachili" was beheaded on Qinglai Island. Maybe it's resentment? Or is it residual power? Anyway, Lei Yinquan now appears at the place where she died.
From then on, the thunder that never dissipated raged on the island, and the thunder element was so strong that it completely submerged it. Qinglai Island has also become a dead place.
So, of course, it goes without saying much about the special features of Haiqi Island, right? After all, it is the only place where there are living people in Inazuma... Of course, it is not just this. The land area of Haiqi Island is the smallest among all the islands. It's hard to find an open space on this island group that's big enough for a party.
If it is a small banquet that only accommodates those people from Haiqi Island, then although there are few such places, it is not impossible. But if you want to add a tribe of fools... this will really embarrass a small place like Haiqi Island.
Therefore, on the surface it is a "celebration banquet for the resistance army's success in resisting the Eye Hunt Order and resisting the Holy Land Transformation", but in fact it is a "reception banquet to welcome the troops exploring Yuanxia Palace", so the banquet was arranged at Haiqimin The new land - Ba Ling Island.
As I said before, Ba Ying Island is not suitable for human habitation. But that was before "unidentified reinforcements" intervened. Although it can't be said to be very good now, it is already ten thousand times better than Haiqi Island.
The "unidentified reinforcements" gained trust after helping the Haiqi people develop a new home, and now the banquet seemed to be a happy one. Although there are some short-sighted people who are cautious, as well as some "ambitious elements" who cannot see clearly their own strength. But that was all left to Xinhai to handle by Zuo Xi.
However, this statement is really unfair. People who don't know the truth still think that Zuo Xi is some kind of evil boss.
So let me make a correction here - it was Xinhai who took the initiative to request that this matter be handed over to her, and Zuo Xi only said one good word throughout the whole process.
Let’s get back to the banquet itself. Now that Zuo Xi has taken action, it is certainly impossible for this banquet to go back to the original “build a few fires on the ground for a barbecue”, “unlimited low-quality wine is regarded as a great good thing”, "Fresh vegetables and fruits are limited to limited quantities" so shabby.
"You have to have the best wine, you have to catch up with the best music venues... in short, everything has to be the best." This is Zuo Xi's consistent life style.
Normally, he would not necessarily be so particular, but when it comes to rewarding soldiers, he has always strictly followed the highest standards.
That's what they say, but this is a celebration banquet after all. If everyone is too far apart, the original meaning will be lost. Therefore, except for Zuo Xi who had a small tent for himself, the other tables and chairs were all placed in the open air.
……
Zuo Xi was in a small tent alone.
"In terms of treating your subordinates, no one among the executives can do a better job than you, right?"
In this regard, [Rooster] as a politician and [Captain] as a general are both experts, but Zuo Xi, a capitalist, can actually do so well, even impeccably.
Rosalind had heard about it a long time ago, but it was still the same—she didn't care then. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is indeed exactly the same as the rumors.
"I thought this should be the most basic requirement as a boss... I can only say thank you to my colleagues for their support. Then again, Rosalin, you are considerate of your subordinates, right?"
Zuo Xi didn't mean this as a compliment, but under the background of [Doctor], [Skirmler] and [Rich Man], Rosalin's laissez-faire, even clear-cut approach to rewards and punishments can indeed be classified as "considerate for subordinates" That kind of thing.
As a fool, living is a blessing.
"...Forget it, as long as you are happy."
Rosalin no longer dwelled on these minutiae. After her obsession was eliminated, she became completely connected and had no desire to argue with others.
Rather than this, she shifted her gaze to the other side of the table. There were two people there who were whispering in what they thought was a "quiet" voice.
……
"...Ying, she, she, she, is she really that [Ms.]? What should I do? Are we in some kind of dream?"
Why does everyone react like this...
"Paimon, please keep your voice down... It's hard for me to believe it. Is this really that [Ms.]? I still remember that terrifying look... Can I pinch you?"
It's obviously you who is scarier, okay? It was you who defeated me! How can you say that I'm "horrible"?
"Why didn't I pinch you?"
This little white thing doesn’t seem that stupid after all…
"Because you don't have the strength. Even if you pinch me, I can't tell the difference."
As expected, this traveler was also influenced by Zuo Xi...
"Okay, that seems to be the case... then, just hold back."
I took back my previous thoughts, and sure enough, this little white thing was still stupid...
"...Paimon, is she looking this way?"
I finally discovered it. [Master] The guy said that this traveler lacked awareness of precautions, which seems to make sense.
……
"How about it, aren't they interesting?"
Zuo Xi silently looked at Rosalin's helpless expression and smiled softly.
From the moment she entered this tent, Ying had been looking at Rosalin beside her with suspicious eyes, obviously not recognizing her.
After introducing themselves, the other two have been hiding on the other side of the table and whispering until now.
Ying's expression when her identity was revealed was really wonderful. I believe the "micro camera" has completely preserved that scene.
