Chapter 301: Sword Wind Smashes the 'Noise', Commendation Banquet Challenge Begins

When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.

When Alan opened his eyes, he saw a pair of reddish-brown eyes staring at him.

The scorching sun shines into the room from the window.

The white hair seemed to be stained with brilliance.

Alan blinked, and with his reaction ability he instantly realized what had happened last night. He felt a little embarrassed and hurried to get up.

before that.

The index finger jabbed at his face.

The white-haired girl giggled.

"Good morning, Alan."

Alan looked at Sylphy's expression and was stunned for a long time.

Only then did he take a deep breath.

He laughed along with her.

"Good morning, Sylphy, are your legs numb?"

"It's not numb anymore. Ai Allen, do you want to rub it for me?"

"Ok?"

"Hehe, Alan is really as serious as Isaruti said. Why didn't I feel it before? Well, we haven't confirmed our relationship yet, so..."

"Come."

"??? Hey hey hey hey! Wait!! Wait! No! No no no no no!!"

-

The conclusion is that it is not numb and is very soft.

The few of them still had lunch at home prepared by Isa Luti, and then they leisurely walked to the Mizugami-ryu Dojo as if to digest the food after the meal.

The free zone of the royal capital is very prosperous. When I came here by water yesterday, I mostly saw the various buildings and entertainment areas in the free zone, but I didn't have much of a sense of the density of people.

Wait till daytime comes and walk on the street.

I just felt the hustle and bustle.

The main street is almost twenty meters wide, with carriages coming and going on the central road. The wide carriages with crystal ceilings belong to the nobles, while the cramped carriages that appear to have no decorations and are made purely of wooden planks belong to adventurers and civilians.

Next to the dazzling array of shops on the roadside, pedestrians were shoulder to shoulder, including nobles in elegant clothes who paid attention to their appearance, high-level adventurers wearing leather armor, and civilians who were in a hurry and whose clothes were not exquisite but still neat.

Figures shuttled through the crowd, and they walked along the street, passed the theater street, and after walking a few steps they saw the Mizugami Ryuso Dojo.

It is located at an angle between the street and the river.

The gate, which seemed a little deserted yesterday because of the lively activities of the Shuishenryu Dojo, has now changed its appearance.

Allen and Izuluti just looked at the scene which was different from yesterday without any special reaction.

But Rudy and Sylphy were still stunned.

The so-called "commendation banquet" of the Mizugami-ryu Dojo was completely beyond their imagination.

In various senses.

The two of them were comparing the commendation banquet to Alice's tenth birthday banquet, and imagined the scene of the next afternoon:
Presumably, it was a banquet similar to a birthday party, with the banquet hall replaced by the Mizushin-ryu dojo.

结果
In fact, this commendation meeting, in terms of scale, enthusiasm, sophistication, and luxury, far exceeded the birthday party held for Alice in Boreas more than a month ago.

The low-key and luxurious light gray Sawtooth Rabbit monster fur carpet had been spread out at the gate of the Water God School Dojo. The butlers and maids of the nobles who came and went walked on it and greeted each other - they came to scout the place in advance to ensure that the host of the evening banquet would not do anything inappropriate.

At the door, Dantolis and his wife, who had changed out of their Suishin-ryu swordsman uniforms and were both wearing all-black formal wear, were standing at the door chatting familiarly with the butlers who had handed over business cards intended for the banquet.

Today, he is no longer an apprentice of the Shuishenliu Dojo, but the operator of the dojo.

"Due to space issues in the main banquet hall today, Baron Lilsway is requested to go to the side banquet hall. Sorry, you may not be able to see the commendation ceremony."

The stewards sitting opposite Dantolis looked surprised, but remained polite.

"Is the main banquet hall full? The one led by Lord James a few years ago was not this large."

Dantolis replied with a smile, and although his tone was polite, his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Yes, thanks to all the nobles for their kindness. This time everyone's enthusiasm is indeed different from last time."

"It doesn't matter. After all, it was Minister James who spread the news last time. This time, I heard that Her Majesty Leta personally spread the news. The master also mentioned this when he came. It has been a long time since I saw Lady Leta hold a banquet. I heard that Senior Minister Darius, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, and Lord Pilemon were all here, hehe."

The wife beside Dantolis was bored, but when she saw Alan and others coming, her eyes lit up, and she folded her hands and looked at them with a smile.

Alan faced the burning gaze of Dantolis's wife, his mouth twitched slightly, he just nodded slightly, and walked closer with a few people.

Sylphy and Rudy followed behind Allen, but their eyes were attracted by the scene behind Dantolis.

I saw that a number of wooden dining tables had been set up under the shade of trees on the lawn beside the quiet crosswalk yesterday.

One glance at the dense growth rings on the table showed that it was of great value. The maids, dressed in simple uniforms and wearing gloves, placed the drinks and cold dishes on the table one by one.

Tableware, candlesticks, tablecloths, and even wine glasses are all in low-key, light-colored styles, which are highly consistent with the simplicity of the Suishin-ryu Dojo.

Everyone is reminding us that this is not a commendation banquet.

Rather, it was an extremely luxurious social occasion among the Asura nobles.

When the butler and the maids saw Alan and his companions coming, they just glanced at them curiously, then said goodbye and left with Dantolis.

The latter looked at Alan, sizing him up and down at his energetic demeanor, his eyes flickered to his sister who walked up behind Alan and grabbed his wife to talk, a hint of a hidden smile flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that you had a good rest yesterday. Why haven't you been home for so long? Are you still used to living at home?"

Alan looked at Dantolis's dark circles and said, "It's OK. He slept very comfortably."

Dantolis turned around and extended his hand to greet an earl who was walking out behind him, then turned back to look at Alan, but with an expression as if he was looking at a family member, and smiled.

——Leda was very satisfied with Allen, who had pledged his allegiance to take back the Holy Land of Swords, and her intention to let Allen inherit the position of the God of Water was very clear yesterday. Since the God of Water belongs to Allen, many problems are no longer problems. As a white-collar family, the Keleer family naturally welcomes Allen to implement the marriage contract.

After all, as the operator of the Suishin-ryu Dojo, Dantolis knew very well what value Allen, as a direct descendant of the four major families, could bring to the Suishin-ryu Dojo.

And he is also his friend.

"It's just that I'm a little tired dealing with these nobles. The banquet itself is nothing special. We have entrusted the best restaurant in the Free Zone to take charge of the whole process. It was arranged by Her Royal Highness the Second Princess. The carpet was delivered and laid by Darius, the senior minister. My grandmother's reputation is very useful at this time. It saves a lot of effort."

Alan narrowed his eyes when he heard that.

"Oh? Darius? So the First Prince will also come to the banquet?"

Dantolis shook his head.

"Only Darius, the First Prince, has not yet expressed his intention to attend the banquet. However, the Second Princess has sent someone to deliver the invitation last night."

Alan said "oh" and looked at the dark circles under Dantolis' eyes.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Dantolis gave a wry smile and patted Alan on the shoulder, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"I've been away for two years and I've become quite unfamiliar with you. There's no need to be so formal. It's not so much hardship as it is thanks to you. You know, in my opinion, since the Mizugami-ryu Dojo has chosen to enter the secular world, it should hold banquets like this from time to time to provide a social occasion for the royal nobles."

"This will only benefit the Water God-Ryu Dojo, and will not cause any harm. Only when the intricate network of relationships is densely interwoven together can the Water God-Ryu Dojo become more powerful."

Dantolis shook his head.

“But my grandmother doesn’t like it.”

Alan interrupted him.

"It's too big to be removed. This will only be a burden to the master who is eager to take back the Holy Land of Swords."

"Her mind isn't here."

Dantolis, who was not a pure swordsman, was silent for a while and sighed.

At this moment, Alan turned his head slightly and looked behind him.

The stewards who had just handed over the business cards were whispering beside the carriage.

The wind brought words of 'contempt'.

"Is that the Water King this time? Alan Boreas Greyrat? He looks a little too young."

"Do you really think he is the Water King?"

"Haha, you can't say that casually."

"Why can't I tell you? Even if the lower nobles don't know, don't you and I know it? Everyone thinks that at this critical moment, the Water God School should just hold a commendation banquet, not just a commendation banquet for the occasional Water King."

"That's right, Her Majesty Leda also has to consider the King's thoughts. At least the Dojo doesn't have any other thoughts."

".However, I heard that the boy has vowed to return to the Holy Land of Swords."

"You believe this too? But I just returned to the capital and I'm eager to win a group of supporters. It's just that the young people in the dojo believe it. I heard that the kid from the Aiuros family was scolded last night."

"Do you know all this?"

"Master Leus has a loud voice, and I heard him when I passed by."

"Yes, it's ridiculous that we have a brother who is the Water King in 'Morning Light', but we want to be a supporter of the boy from the Boreas family."

"Haha, maybe that kid named Falz did it on purpose. After all, he is not born of the same mother, so it's inevitable that he has some ambitions to be the next head of the family." "But he followed the wrong person~ Did he want to flatter the Boreas family and seek external help? It's ridiculous. How can the power of the Boreas family in the royal capital compare to that of the Aiuros family, which is also one of the four major families?
The heads of the families are all hiding in their territories. Lord Sauros was quite famous in the early years. He and Darius, the senior minister, were the right-hand men of His Majesty the King in the capital. But now~tsk tsk"

"Each generation is inferior to the previous one~"

The voice faded away, and Alan narrowed his eyes and turned his head.

The face of Dantolis in front of him was a little stiff.

The two men did not even bother to conceal their voices, and he heard a few sentences intermittently, but he immediately figured out what they were talking about.

All the nobles with titles in the royal capital and officials who know some of the inside information.

Everyone thought that Mizukami-ryu Sodojo was using this banquet to show his loyalty to the king.

As for the birth of the Water King?

Or is he a young genius who was promoted from Water Saint to Water King in just two years and is only thirteen years old?
Do not make jokes.

Who believes?

Dantolis opened his mouth to say something, but it was Alan who reached out and patted his shoulder.

He leaned his head towards Dantolis' ear and whispered softly.

"Look, who would want to be in this kind of environment? It's a mess, even a lion will be turned into a crow after a long time."

Dantolis looked at Alan's smiling face.

I do not know what to say.

-

"I am grateful to everyone for coming to the commendation banquet at the Mizugami-ryu main dojo."

At this time, it was five o'clock in the afternoon in the small dojo.

The sun was setting, but it did not bring any gloom to this superior gym that was the size of two basketball courts.

Because the lights had been lit in advance, the candlelight licked on the nobles in formal attire standing around the dining table in the dojo. They all raised their wine glasses in their hands and gestured to Leta from afar.

The crowds were dense and crowded, occupying the entire view in front, behind, left and right.

In the eyes of Sylphy and the others, the gym's door was blocked so much that they couldn't even see it.

Although it was a banquet, no one ate the exquisite dishes on the table. The nobles just kept clinking glasses and taking turns to chat.

It made it difficult for Rudy to even eat.

tension.

The current situation kept washing over his mind.

——Tonight, the lowest noble rank here is earl, and the only thing missing is to write the word power directly on the faces of the nobles attending the banquet.

This is a banquet held at the top of power in one of the two most powerful kingdoms in this different world.

And his body was nominally the eldest son of a knight in a remote village. Although Brother Paul's family background was also prominent, old Nite heard the couple playing basketball in the middle of the night every day, and he really didn't feel any sense of reality or style.

Then, he was taken away by Allen, the BKing. In just two years, it was like riding a roller coaster, and he saw the "scenery" that he could never touch in his previous life.
If we compare it to a country, in reality, it is equivalent to him playing galgame at home and then being dragged to Tokyo by a handsome guy who dropped from the sky for a year, having a cordial conversation with the mayor, and then being dragged to the United States, shaking hands cordially with Brother Tang.

What kind of domineering young man from aristocratic family fell in love with me?
Rudy looked at the delicious roast goose on the table, and subconsciously glanced at Sylphy beside him.

The latter also looked a little nervous, but she kept her eyes fixed on Alan.

The latter stood beside Leta, holding his sword and standing quietly.

A ten-meter-by-ten-meter open space was cleared around the master and his disciple.

I saw Leda holding the wooden sword with her hand, glancing at Darius who was standing in front of the crowd and shaking the glass at her, then drinking the wine in his hand.

The hoarse voice seemed particularly clear because of the surge of fighting spirit.

Into everyone's ears.

"Today's banquet is held by me for my beloved disciple, Alan Boreas Greyrat, to honor his promotion to the Water King-level swordsman."

"Without further ado, according to the rules of the Mizugami-ryu Dojo, he will take the place of the leader and conduct ten rounds of demonstration battles, until the end."

After saying that, Leda stepped back and turned aside.

Allen was the only one left on the field.

The nobles around shook their heads after hearing this, and turned their heads slightly to talk in a low voice with the people beside them, but they kept their voices low and maintained their proper manners.

Sylphy and Rudy just heard a buzzing sound and could not hear anything.

But it fell into the ears of Allen and Izuruti who possessed the "sensory flow".

But it is exceptionally clear.

".Water King Class."

".Hehe, creating momentum"

".Don't worry about it"

".I heard about your recent business at the theater."

The decent smile that Izuruti usually had on her face since the afternoon had long disappeared. Her face was now so gloomy that it looked like tears were about to drip out, causing Sylphy, who was standing beside her, to shrink her head when she saw it.

She glanced around, and in her sight, the apprentices of the "small dojo" who were wearing the swordsman uniforms of the Suishin-ryu dojo, all had gloomy and unhappy looks on their faces, and it seemed that they had been scolded by their families last night.

Then he turned to look at Alan.

He didn't seem to mind being looked down upon at all. He just took a few steps to the center of the field and turned to look at Leta.

The latter raised his eyes and casually threw the wooden sword up.

The sword blade flew into the air, pierced the air, and spun out beautiful sword flowers.

then.

With a snap, it landed firmly in Alan's hands.

However, this movement only attracted the attention of a few people at the front of the crowd:

Darius tilted his head and looked at Allen leisurely. Next to him, Leus Aiulus Greyrat, with a head full of silver hair and serious features, turned his gaze away from Falz, who was standing on the sidelines and sweating, and looked at Allen. Not far away, Pilemon, with a sinister face, sneered.

whispering sound.

The sound was very slight, but it was extremely clear to Alan's ears.

Alan dropped his eyes.

Slowly raise your hand and slowly raise the knife.

The wooden sword slowly cut through the candlelight and paused in the air.

Outside the window, the sun was setting into the horizon.

"So.".

The voice was very faint, echoing in the gym, as if the person was talking to himself.

No one heard.

Except for the sword in his hand.

So, the sword naturally gave a loyal response.

The next moment, the sword blade disappeared into the air like a gust of wind.

In a blink of an eye, it squeezed out from the air beside Alan's hand.

Darius, Pilemon, and Leus all lowered their eyes at the same time and looked at the wooden sword in Allen's hand, and then...
Unintentionally, involuntarily, uncontrollably.
Closed his eyes.

Why?

Because there is a stronger wind.
It hit them hard in the face!!
In a split second! The knife fell! The wind rose!

hiss! ! ! ! ! ! !
The air waves roared! ! The voices howled! ! The air was shattered! !

The dark wave dissipated from the bottom of Allen's feet! Instantly extinguished all the candles in the gym! ! The tablecloth was lifted up like a tide! All of them fell on the table with a somersault!

Wow!

When the voice fell, the gym was silent.

The noise was extinguished by the wind and waves.

Alan raised his eyes and smiled.

"Let's get started."

The voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.

No one can't hear it.

　There may be a lot of typos in this chapter. I have to go to work tomorrow and I am writing it in a hurry.
