Fox Demon: God rewards hard work, I will eventually master martial arts and become a god

Because there are too many corpses, there is no need to bury them. The royal capital is right in front of us, so we must hurry on our way.

After entering the royal capital, there is no need to worry about the overt threats for the time being. Even in the vortex of aristocratic power, one still needs to consider the matter of face.

Princess Ariel arranged everyone in her bedroom. Liniana and Pulsena had never had such an experience before, and they felt everything in the palace was new to them.

Lin Yu took advantage of this time to ask Fitz to explain to him the current structure of the palace.

After Fitz's explanation, Lin Yu had a certain understanding of the current situation.

"I wonder if I could trouble you with something."

"After seeing the strength you possess before, I realized that you are the one who can truly protect Princess Ariel."

"It is precisely because this is the palace that we have to be careful now that we are back. They may not really need to send someone to assassinate us."

“They can even use more subtle forms of power to achieve their goals.”

Fitz said softly.

"I understand what you mean. You hope that I can stay with Princess Ariel during this period of time."

Lin Yu said softly.

"Yes."

Fitz said.

Lin Yu nodded.

"Besides, because today is the time when the princess returns, there will be a banquet in a while. Please come with me and accompany the princess."

Fitz said again.

Fitz's words sounded flawless, but Lin Yu couldn't help but think that this was more like Ariel's style.

"Ariel didn't ask you to tell me this specifically, did she just want me to go to some party with her?"

Lin Yu suddenly remembered the night before entering the royal capital. Ariel seemed quite relaxed when talking about this journey.

If the king's capital was really in this much danger, she probably wouldn't have shown that expression.

Ariel is extremely weak in terms of strength, but the fact that her political skills have allowed her to survive until now speaks volumes.

Fitz didn't answer this question, but it was obvious that this was probably the default behavior.

Lin Yu originally wanted to ask Liniana and Pulsena to go together, but Fitz tactfully said that if those two guys went, their behavior would not be restrained and might even embarrass the princess.

Following Fitz's suggestion, Lin Yu had no choice but to give up.

Lin Yu and Fitz came to the banquet. The gathering between royal nobles was much more complicated than they had imagined, because there were too many people and each of them was wearing very gorgeous clothes.

I wish I could just wear diamonds and gold on my body. Men’s faces are okay, but those women almost all have the same face.

Lin Yu couldn't even recognize the people. The powerful and wealthy would also carry knights and guards with them. For them, this was also a symbol of status.

Lin Yu saw Princess Ariel entering the venue together. Princess Ariel in this occasion was obviously a little different from usual.

Her clothes were luxurious, her manners were more full, and every step she took was very particular. Although Lin Yu couldn't understand it, he could feel the dazzling brilliance of Princess Ariel.

She was bright and beautiful enough to attract the attention of everyone in the audience.

Princess Ariel is top-notch in both figure and appearance. Coupled with her innate self-confidence, her beauty can be called the country's wealth.

But Lin Yu's gaze did not stay on Princess Ariel for too long, because Lin Yu wanted to pay attention to who posed a certain threat and who might become an enemy.

Princess Ariel first chatted with the other nobles, which took some time, and then she came to Lin Yu and sat down.

Gatherings among the powerful are nothing more than holding wine glasses and looking for people to talk to and build relationships. Agreeing and refusing are also an art, and one cannot express one's meaning directly.

At the same time, you need to let the other person know what you are thinking, and every sentence needs to be carefully considered, so the party time becomes very long and it is also very stressful.

Princess Ariel was sitting on the sofa, but Lin Yu could clearly notice that she seemed a little depressed.

"What's wrong."

Lin Yu handed Princess Ariel a glass of water and a towel.

"Just looking at these people gives me a headache. If I want to achieve my goal, I need to win over some people. I couldn't win them over when I was in the palace, and it's the same now."

"They are like an iron barrel inside and out. There is no way to tear a hole in them no matter what you do."

Ariel said.

"They will not easily choose sides. Choosing the wrong side means bearing a considerable price. They would rather sit back and reap the fruits of their labor."

"They will follow whoever has the upper hand."

Lin Yu said softly.

"I didn't expect you to have such insights in politics."

Ariel was a little confused.

“Many things in this world can be learned from books.”

Lin Yu made up a reason casually. It was impossible for him to really tell Ariel that he had experienced many worlds.

"More importantly, I'm a woman. They don't think I'm qualified, nor do they think I'm capable."

"No matter how outstanding a princess is, she is only trying to get a suitable price when she gets married."

Ariel's tone was low, as if just thinking about it brought a heavy mood to her.

Someone approached, so Ariel had to quickly adjust her mindset. She put a smile on her face again and held the wine glass.

The visitor was a fat man with small eyes and little hair. Anyone who could appear in such an occasion must have great power.

However, this was the first time Lin Yu had seen a guy of this size. After all, most people who came here had a certain control over their body shape.

Fat pigs like this are rare. After all, anyone who looks like this would probably not want to show up because of inferiority complex.

"This is Darius."

Fitz spoke quietly behind Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's memory was revived through Fitz's words. This person is the biggest enemy Ariel needs to face at present.

He is the biggest threshold for Ariel to ascend the throne. He is now walking in front of Ariel hypocritically, but it is just a false disguise.

"Who is this……"

Although Darius has a pair of small eyes, he can show a sharp and accurate gaze.

He stayed on Lin Yu, which meant that from the very beginning he was interested in Lin Yu as a person.

“Terrible intuition.”

Lin Yu thought to himself.

Those who came to attack in the evening died at Lin Yu's hands, and none of them escaped alive.

Lin Yu believed that Darius had no way of knowing who did it because he lacked the information in this regard.

But he had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"He is my teacher in the academy. We are good friends. This time he came as my guest."

Ariel said softly.

"Friends? That doesn't sound like a strong relationship."

Darius smiled.

Ariel's expression changed. She wasn't sure if Darius meant to sow discord or if he wanted something else.

"Haha, to me, Teacher Lin Yu is a person who is trustworthy and even worthy of my life." Ariel remained calm.

"In that case, I am actually a little curious."

Darius did not back down.

"I don't know if you are interested in working under me. I have many teachers from the magic academy working under me. Believe me, you will have a good atmosphere."

"And what I can give is much more than what the academy can give."

Darius continued.

He had already extended his hand towards Lin Yu. With just one glance, he probably realized Lin Yu's true value.

But in the face of the olive branch that had been extended, Lin Yu did not express any opinion.

Lin Yu was even unwilling to answer the fat pig.

Darius withdrew his hand in dismay.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more."

Darius turned and left. He wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and his eyes gradually became cold.

"To be honest, I was really afraid that you would accept it."

Ariel breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are afraid because you don't have the power, but you think Darius is strong."

"But in my eyes, he doesn't seem to have any fighting ability, he's just a manipulator."

Lin Yu was a little surprised.

"What he said is true. He has many powerful people under him, and those people are not easy to deal with."

Ariel said.

"So now that I think about it, it's possible that he has targeted me as well."

Lin Yu realized this.

"Probably so."

Ariel nodded.

"It doesn't matter. As long as there is enough time, all problems can be solved."

Lin Yu is very confident in himself.

The banquet reached its climax as time went by, and the court invited several musicians at the very beginning.

The dignitaries began to dance to the tune, but Lin Yu didn't like this environment very much.

And he felt that the atmosphere and air were not very good, so he walked out the door alone and chose a position where he could observe Ariel.

With Fitz watching by the side, there would be no big problem. If she really encountered a situation that Fitz could not handle, she only needed to shout loudly, and Lin Yu would hear the sound and come quickly.

"You don't like occasions like this either?"

A woman suddenly walked in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu took a look at her and found her to be a truly attractive beauty, with a tall figure and golden hair.

She wasn't wearing much clothing and several parts of her body were exposed. It was certainly not appropriate for her to appear in such a scene.

She doesn't fit in here, but Lin Yu is curious about her identity, because all the dignitaries in this banquet would not be like this. Lin Yu carefully recalled whether there was such a person in the explanation that Fitz had given him before.

"Hello, I'm Doristina Papulhos, nice to meet you."

She reached out her hand towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu held her hand.

"Where are you from?"

Doristina Papulhos asked softly.

"Magic University, that's a very nice place."

“I’m a teacher there.”

Lin Yu replied calmly.

"That's great. I've heard of that place, but it's a pity that I'm not a person with magical talent, and the tuition there is also very expensive."

Doristina Papulhos shook her head and handed Lin Yu a glass of wine.

Although Lin Yu took the wine, he did not drink it but put it aside. Lin Yu always remained wary of the wine handed to him by someone of unknown origin.

"I'm the maid here. Generally speaking, I will go and clean up the scene after the people here finish."

"This is not a good job, but I want to save money to treat my mother's illness. I also have a younger brother, and his fate is different from mine."

"Learning swordsmanship in the dojo, you will probably become a very strong person in the future."

Doristina Papulhos sighed as she drank.

"Most people don't know what they want, and it's great that you can have such expectations."

Lin Yu said softly.

"What about you? What do you think?"

Doristina Papulhos asked casually.

“Finish one thing, then leave and go somewhere else.”

Lin Yu said lightly.

"Wow, that's really nice, do you like watching dancing?"

Doristina Papulhos is a very outgoing and talkative person. Even to a stranger like Lin Yu, she can talk a lot.

There is no shortage of such people around Lin Yu, such as Liniana and Pulsena are obvious examples.

"You mean like that inside?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Of course not. Their dance is just a simple circle. I have received training. My dance teacher said I am very talented."

"It's just that I didn't continue to learn because I didn't have money, and dancing is not really a skill."

"There's no way to find a good job. The only thing I can imagine is that I'll be spotted by a rich young man and then be trained to be his lover and provide services."

"I don't like that kind of life, and I want to struggle and choose another path."

Doristina Papulhos put down her wine glass, and she began to dance in front of Lin Yu with the help of the moonlight and the music in the hall.

It has to be said that Doristina Papulhos does have a talent for dancing, or perhaps she has made some preparations for it in advance.

Lin Yu couldn't appreciate the dance in the palace, but Doristina Papulhos's dance was more modern.

After Doristina Papulhos finished dancing, Lin Yu applauded her.

Doristina Papulhos had a shy expression on her face.

"I'll take you somewhere."

Doristina Papulhos spoke quietly in Lin Yu's ear, as if she wanted to tell him some incredible secret.

Doristina Papulhos brought Lin Yu to the back of the banquet quietly. (End of this chapter)
