Chapter 1249 The Banquet in Progress
In the magnificent banquet hall, pairs of surprised and unexpected eyes were constantly cast towards Fei'er.
Although most of the history of the Silver Moon Era before the Blank Age has been lost along with the Blank Age, the outline of an ancient human overlord has been outlined through the few words left in the remaining ancient books and the exploration of ancient relics.
It is the Silver Fire Kingdom, the guardian of the ancient human race.
Over the past three thousand years, according to the research and examination of generations of historians, this ancient human kingdom had a very wide coverage and numerous subordinate races.
Whether it is forging technology, magical craftsmanship, artistic achievements, or the huge number of powerful people, they are far beyond the reach of the current human world, and they firmly occupy the first echelon of all races.
Even powerful and immortal races such as elves and dwarves who respect strength must be treated with courtesy and no neglect will be shown.
It is no exaggeration to say that the heyday of the Silver Fire Kingdom was the heyday of the entire human world, to the point that no race would look down on humans in the slightest.
Unfortunately, however, this is all that modern humans know about ancient humans.
As for how powerful the Silver Fire Kingdom was at that time, and how it led the human race to the pinnacle of all races, no one knows.
Naturally, various speculations and research schools emerged about the Silver Fire Kingdom, arguing with each other for three thousand years, adding a strong sense of mystery to this ancient human kingdom.
In short, for every prince and noble present, these unearthed historical knowledge were well known to them, and even the noble children who served as maids and waiters were not unfamiliar with them.
You know, the person standing in front of everyone is a member of the royal family of the most mysterious ancient overlord, the Silver Fire Kingdom!
After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao looked as if he had expected it, with no expression at all.
Among all the people present, only the monarchs of the seven countries, the leaders of the three neutral organizations, and a small number of high-level warriors who personally participated in the decisive battle deep in the main hall knew Fei'er's true identity.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this situation occurred when I introduced Fei'er.
"Everyone, it is precisely because of the timely appearance of Her Royal Highness Princess Pelican, who extended a helping hand regardless of her own safety, that I was able to finally dispel the darkness with my comrades present, and let the brilliant dawn shine upon the land of the human race again."
Lei Xiao's steady and powerful voice sounded again, and he said solemnly: "Let us pay our sincerest respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
As soon as Lei Xiao finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out and lasted for a long time in the huge banquet hall.
"You are too kind. In fact, I am not as powerful and important as Your Highness said."
As Fei'er's clear and heroic voice rang out, the entire banquet hall became quiet again.
She took a step forward, a look of solemnity on her fair face, and continued, "The one who really played a decisive role was your Highness the Holy Lion Prince. His courage and tenacity amazed me."
"Faced with an invincible enemy, he did not retreat, but became more courageous as the battle went on. Even in the Silver Moon Era when the human race was at its most glorious, it was difficult for anyone to do this, including me."
"To be more precise, it was because of his bravery that I made up my mind to continue to fulfill my mission as a guardian with this broken body and contribute a little to the human world today. That's all."
After looking at Lei Xiao with full respect, Fei'er's fair face became more solemn, and she said, "Not only the Holy Lion Prince, but every strong man who participated in that nearly hopeless battle made me sigh."
"Especially after the Saint Lion Prince destroyed the energy conversion array in the forbidden tree roots, every powerful person and soldier in the entire human world worked together, which made the source of evil finally reap what it sowed."
“So, compared to the Holy Lion Prince who dominated the battle, and compared to everyone present, what I did was simply not worth mentioning.”
Fei'er's starry eyes flickered as they swept across the people in the audience, revealing a touch of sincere respect and relief: "Seeing that the human world today can work together so well, as an ancient human, I feel proud of everyone present."
After Fei'er finished speaking, warm applause rang out again, and there were irrepressible cheers and excitement, making the atmosphere in the entire venue even more enthusiastic.
While people were rejoicing, an irrepressible curiosity welled up on their high-spirited faces.
When the applause died down, Fei'er noticed this and looked a little sad. She said, "I know that you are all very curious about the ancient human race and the Silver Fire Kingdom of the Silver Moon Era."
"But unfortunately, like other people who have experienced the blank era, I have forgotten too many things. I don't even know what I was facing at that time and why I was destroyed."
"Those inexplicably lost memories are like jigsaw puzzles that have been arbitrarily smashed. It is impossible to form a specific image in the mind, so please forgive me for not being able to bring you more ancient stories."
Having said this, Fei'er's gloomy expression brightened up again and her voice gradually became louder.
"However, what I can tell you is that although the human race is no longer glorious and has been squeezed out of the first echelon of all races, it is despised and looked down upon by those immortal races. It has been greatly restricted in many aspects such as alchemy, forging, and magic crafts. Even those barbarians are extremely presumptuous."
"However, in the life-and-death battle that just ended not long ago, I saw all the good qualities that the ancient humans possessed in you. Your bravery and tenacity are the most precious wealth of the human world!"
"What's more, the human race now has an extraordinary leader. It was he who awakened the sleeping me, it was he who personally crushed the source of evil that attempted to destroy everything, and it was he who completely brought the human world together."
Fei'er took a step back, letting Lei Xiao step out again, and said solemnly: "I believe that under his leadership and guidance, it will no longer be an unattainable dream for the human race to return to its peak!"
As Fei'er finished speaking, the entire venue was boiling, and pairs of irrepressible admiring eyes once again fell on Lei Xiao, who was standing in the center of the podium.
"Thank you, Princess Pelican, for your recognition of me and the human world today."
Lei Xiao's eyes were bright and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"It is imperative for the human world to rebuild its past glory. I and everyone present here will become the experiencers, creators and witnesses of turning dreams into reality!"
"The names of each of us will become an indispensable part of the monument of human glory!"
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue instantly reached its climax, and warm applause and cheers resounded throughout the banquet hall.
Looking at the pairs of excited eyes in the audience, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and announced, "Then, let the banquet officially begin."
After that, needless to say, the atmosphere of the banquet was very high. Whether it was the kings and ministers attending the meeting, or the leaders and senior executives of neutral organizations, everyone was in high spirits and talked happily with each other.
Of course, there are also people who like to eat, such as Louise, Hongye, Chaoyan, Baiwei, Mia, Xiaoya and other subordinates, active in various places in the hall.
With the same hobbies, Louise quickly became friends with Chao Yan and the others. After successfully advancing, although she had not had a chance to show her abilities, Chao Yan, with her increased appetite, had already demonstrated a strength beyond that of a fifth-rank strongman.
Lei Xiao was at a table with representatives of lords such as Fei'er and Qin Qian. The monarchs of various countries and leaders of neutral organizations never stopped attending the banquet, making it extremely lively.
During this process, Lei Xiao also introduced Qin Qian and others to the powerful people, which made Qin Qian and others flattered, especially Feng Ling, who was less courageous, and became more hesitant.
This is no wonder. Although for Lei Xiao, the monarchs of the seven countries are all his subordinates and he has no scruples, but for Qin Qian and others, these are big figures standing at the pinnacle of power. How can they not tread on thin ice?
There are three main reasons why Lei Xiao did this.
First, it is to build a lord network connecting the entire human race more quickly.
Secondly, it is to prepare for the full promotion of the Lord's technology, which has already achieved initial results in many aspects, to the human world.
Thirdly, it is to prepare for further cooperation between the lord talents and the elites of various countries, so that each can give full play to their strengths and establish more lord research and development bases.
"Some time ago, a kind of airship internal combustion engine that combines steam power and magic power developed based on dwarven technology has entered the test stage. If everything goes well, it will soon be put into mass production."
Lei Xiao gently shook the champagne glass and thought so in his heart as he looked at Qin Qian who was introducing the Lord's research and development results to everyone.
"This new type of internal combustion engine has greatly improved power, and can use more common ores and even weapons and equipment as fuel. This undoubtedly means that the development of airships will make great strides forward."
"Although the cargo value of airships will drop significantly after the convenient lord network is established, larger, faster and less expensive airships can not only become a new means of transportation, but will also play a greater role in air combat, becoming an important force that cannot be ignored."
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. With the emergence of more Lord technologies, the human world will undergo tremendous changes in all aspects."
"It is not difficult to see that the role of Lord Technology is self-evident."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's gaze moved and fell on other people around him.
There were many old acquaintances attending the meeting. Not far away, accompanied by Therese, the Saint of the Moon Palace, Willy, the new King of Holy Night, was having a pleasant conversation with Phil, the new Speaker of the Canglan Federation.
Following Phil was the old Speaker Sewell, who was very grateful to Lei Xiao and also had a smile on his face.
It is not difficult to see from the scene that these two opponents who once fought fiercely have long lost their guard against each other and their intrigues. What they are discussing are how to open the border and further strengthen cooperation and exchanges with each other.
Further back, there were two other slender female figures, who were extremely similar in temperament and tall stature. They were none other than the new Queen of Pars, Cecilia, and the third princess of Lengyan, Caroline.
The two men who were once opponents on the battlefield, although still looking unwilling to admit defeat, were tasting the cake rolls handed over by each other, which made Lei Xiao laugh and cry.
What's even more ridiculous is that the old magician Antonio is like a magic apprentice, following behind Bing Lao all the time and looking extremely happy.
Generals such as Bert, Orange, Barnett, White Knight, Jared, Alger and others also gathered in groups of three or four to exchange experiences and share their own deployment of troops and training methods.
In addition, whether it is the three dragon slayers, Gray Old Man, Joniel, and Qido, who gathered together to reminisce the past, Sophia who is sharing the results of reconstruction during this period with other Cold Flame kings, the three alchemy sages who mingle with civil officials such as Or, or Diana who has also joined the team of foodies, there is a peaceful scene everywhere.
"Young man, it seems that this banquet was very successful. Everyone treated each other with sincerity and trust, and the relationship became more and more familiar. This is an indispensable prerequisite for cooperation."
Fei'er, who was standing beside Lei Xiao, smiled, and a hint of anticipation emerged on her fair face: "I am really looking forward to what heights the human world will reach under your leadership."
"Even I don't know that."
Lei Xiao shrugged and said bluntly: "But I can be sure that I will never stop, even if there are thorns all over the ground ahead."
“Those are really reassuring words.”
Fei'er smiled and said sincerely: "I really feel more and more that it is an honor to be awakened by you."
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. I look forward to walking side by side with you."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then said seriously: "Don't worry, I will find a way to get Her Royal Highness the Princess to leave here as soon as possible, and His Majesty Oliver, and you will be reunited by then."
Not long ago, Lei Xiao returned to Huangyao City and informed the last monarch of the Silver Fire Kingdom of everything that had happened.
After receiving the news from Fei'er, it goes without saying that the old king was very excited. He solemnly promised Lei Xiao that he would do his best to protect Huangyao City.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Fei'er didn't say anything else, but just nodded heavily at him, expressing her indescribable gratitude with her actions.
The lively banquet continued like this, until the time was almost up, Lei Xiao reconvened the participating monarchs and leaders, and walked towards the prepared conference hall together.
What the group discusses next will undoubtedly determine the future of the human world.
