MTL - I Became the King of Villains In the Game-Chapter 471 broken sword

  Chapter 471 Broken Sword

   Night gradually fell.

  The central area is extraordinarily bright, like daytime.

  The street lights on both sides of the street are neat and bright, and the landscape trees planted are hung with lights of various colors. Not only the shop signs, but also the residential areas are also brightly lit.

  People travel together, carrying windproof candle lamps that are only used on special festivals, and singing the hymn "Trisur at Dawn" about the sun. These are the residents of the royal city, celebrating the birthday of His Royal Highness the great prince in their own way.

  Brightness means hope, and it also symbolizes that the sun prince, like the rising sun, sheds infinite dawn.

"Illuminate the world, source of warmth. Loyalty follows, gift is eternal...Great and noble Trisur, shed light at dawn, we thank you for your blessing, we thank you for your enlightenment, we thank you for your gift ..."

Floyd snuggled into Chen Lun's arms, feeling the gentle vibration of the carriage, enjoying this short but peaceful time, and could faintly hear men, women, and children singing in unison, and the long and solemn melody accompanied the carriage. Far.

  The two arrived at the long steps below the Sun Palace not long after.

  Chen Lun took Floyd's hand, slowly got out of the carriage, and climbed up the spacious and long white marble steps. After walking for nearly ten minutes, he came to the gate of the palace.

  A steward in luxurious clothes greeted them.

   "Mr. Jack, this way please."

  Following the guidance, the two bypassed the main building of the palace and went to the banquet hall where they used to participate in the ball.

  At the moment, on both sides of the entrance of the hall, there are a row of stewards standing respectively. They are well dressed, with red and yellow cotton clothes and a layer of satin vest, and they respectfully and warmly entertain every guest.

  According to the usual practice, such a high-level royal banquet usually allows the guests to move freely before the banquet, enjoy some snacks and drinks, and visit the art collection in the banquet hall by the way.

Chen Lun took Floy, walking leisurely and comfortably in the banquet hall like a young couple, and unknowingly passed by the wall with the portrait of the royal family last time, but this time, the one that symbolized Arnold The "No Man's Chair" painting was taken down.

   This made Chen Lun a little strange.

   Just as he was secretly guessing whether this meant something, a male waiter in white uniform pushed the dining car past and asked politely:

   "Sir, do I need something?"

   "Pour two glasses of juice."

  Chen Lun turned his head, smiled and nodded.

  The waiter skillfully took one out of many exquisite glass bottles, poured two glasses of mixed drinks of unknown rare fruits, and handed them over.

   During this process, a folded note stuck to the bottom of the cup and fell into Chen Lun's hands. He was slightly surprised in his heart, but on the surface remained calm, he took out two silver cups and put them in the waiter's palm, just like other guests tipping the waiter.

   But in fact, Chen Lun took advantage of the situation and used [Five Senses General Knowledge], using the sense of touch to connect with vision, and "seeed" the black sun mark on the back of the waiter's white gloves.

  ‘People from the Cross of the Sun…’

  He secretly said in his heart.

   Even if he realized it, the note secretly passed by the other party should be Princess Anna's next plan.

   "Thank you, generous sir."

  The waiter showed joy and said repeatedly.

   Immediately afterwards, he picked up a hardcover booklet from the dining car.

   "This is the dinner menu. You can choose your favorite dishes according to your own taste. The main dishes tonight are roast beef and roast goose. If you have special needs, please let me know..."

  Chen Lun turned his head to look at Floyd, and asked for her opinion with his eyes, but the girl smiled and shook her head.

   "No need, that's it."

  Chen Lun declined.

   "If you need, you can call me at any time, I wish you a happy dinner."

   Upon seeing this, the waiter saluted him, and immediately pushed the dining car away.

  Drinking delicious fruit juice, Chen Lun deliberately dragged Floyd to a crowded oil painting, pretending to appreciate the painting. He whispered to the girl next to him to share his views on the paintings, put his other hand in his pocket, and flicked the note lightly.

  [Five Senses] and [Multiple Functions] operate at the same time, which does not affect his reading of the text on the note.

   "—a dance with me later, that's the only thing you need to do tonight."

  There was only such a short sentence on the note, which made Chen Lun full of thoughts.

  ‘Dancing…is that simple? Is there any necessary connection between this and her plan for tonight? '

  He couldn't help wondering.

  The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the dinner officially began.

  Babaye, the chief steward of the royal family, acted as the spokesperson of the prince, stood on the high platform with a friendly smile on his face, announced that the next meal would be, and wished every guest to enjoy this wonderful time.

  The guests present were either high-ranking church officials or high-ranking military officers, or even dignitaries and celebrities. The merchant class is rare here. They didn't make any noise, just applauded lightly with smiles on their faces, and then sat down quietly.

  The waiter pushed a huge dining car, came in from the side of the banquet hall like a long queue, and served exquisite food to the table in an orderly manner.

  The court musicians quietly went up to the high stage and played melodious and beautiful music. Everyone moved their knives and forks in this comfortable and luxurious environment.

   After a few minutes, the prince and princess arrived late.

  As the protagonist of today's dinner, Dazlet naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. He first stopped, bowed down to the guests in a gentlemanly manner, and said apologetically:

   "Sorry, something has been delayed, I hope it didn't affect your mood."

   "Of course not, Your Highness."

  Among the guests at a nearby table, the middle-aged earl responded humbly.

  The prince smiled and nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down.

  Princess Anna followed closely behind and sat on his left. It's just that this young and beautiful princess seems to be in a bad mood, with a cold expression on her face and a slight frown. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something unpleasant happened between her and the prince, otherwise it would not be so important. put on a bad face.

   "Anna."

   Dazlet glanced at his sister and reminded him in a low voice.

   However, Princess Anna didn't even look at him, she just sat on the chair indifferently, not even touching the things on the table.

   "Anna, today is my brother's birthday, don't be like this...I promise you, after the dinner party is over, I will definitely get that painting back, okay?"

   Dazlat comforted him patiently.

   "You really didn't order to move away?"

  Princess Anna said with a frown.

   "Sorry for making Anna misunderstand me so deeply... I can swear to my father, absolutely not."

   Dazlat whispered.

  Anna was silent for a few seconds before starting to eat. The prince heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

  The conversation between the two of them was not loud, but among the guests present, there were many extraordinary people, and the high-level leaders of the major forces were even saints, so they could easily hear the content.

  These guests couldn't help being a little curious, what is the painting between the prince and the princess that caused conflicts? Could it be some rare and precious masterpiece in the world?

  Only Chen Lun knew that the "painting" they were talking about should refer to the portrait area of ​​the royal family members, which represented Arnold's "No Man's Chair". It is very likely that its mysterious disappearance caused Princess Anna's dissatisfaction and vented her emotions on her brother Dazlat.

  After the meal session is over.

  The dining table was removed by the attendants, and the vacated space became the dance floor area. The court musicians on the high platform changed their previous slow tunes to more cheerful ones.

  The guests gathered together, and the men walked into the dance floor with their female companions, dancing to the music.

   At this moment, Princess Anna walked gracefully in front of a gentleman in black hat. Many noble children present noticed this scene, showing expressions of surprise and envy.

   I didn't expect someone to be able to get into the eyes of Princess Anna.

  Who is that man?

   "Sorry, miss, I think I need to temporarily borrow the man next to you."

  Princess Anna first looked at Floyd, and said something softly.

  Her tone was a bit polite, but it always gave people a feeling of indifference.

  Floy nodded slightly to show her agreement, because Chen Lun had explained to her just now that Princess Anna would dance with him, and there was no other meaning. The reason why they were so indifferent was that they didn't want to expose the fact that both sides knew each other.

"All right."

  Floy said softly in an ethereal voice.

  She let go of her hand, and turned her head to glance at Chen Lun. There seemed to be some emotion hidden in her lavender eyes... Even though she knew it was cooperation, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Thanks."

  Princess Anna raised her white and slender palm towards Chen Lun as she spoke. She didn't have any words of invitation, but her actions already showed her intention to come.

  Chen Lun took off his hat, took the princess's hand, and the two walked slowly onto the dance floor. The surrounding guests couldn't help casting curious glances, even Prince Dazlet on the sofa by the dance floor also looked over.

   "I heard that you have made outstanding contributions on the western battlefield, and you have done many things for His Royal Highness?"

  Princess Anna walked gracefully and nimbly, and asked softly.

  Chen Lun pretended to be meeting her for the first time, and said politely and modestly:

   "I can't talk about outstanding contributions, but I just did what I should do and fulfilled my duties, Your Royal Highness."

   "But I've heard a lot of praise about you."

  Princess Anna spun around under her powerful arms, and the white crystal-like sparkling skirt was driven to flutter.

  Chen Lun was not affected by the dance, his breath was gentle and long, and he responded with a light smile:

   "It's just a false name, please don't worry about it, Your Highness the Princess."

   "Heh... Are you a destiny superman?"

  Princess Anna also laughed, and changed the subject.

   "Yes, Your Highness."

  Chen Lun nodded slightly.

   At this time, the dance music entered a more soothing stage, and the movements of the two slowed down, and they were very close to each other. The unique woody perfume scent of the princess floated into the tip of her nose, and Chen Lun could even clearly smell a faint, citrus-like fruity scent.

  【General Knowledge of the Five Senses】But told him that the source of this fragrance was actually the diamond-encrusted crown on the princess's smooth blond hair.

  'This is a weird thing...'

  Chen Lun was determined.

   "I want to ask you a favor, Mr. Jack Speight."

  Princess Anna raised her head and glanced at him.

   "Please speak, Your Highness."

   "Help me put this thing back together."

  The princess took out a twenty-centimeter-long column from the back waist of the pleated skirt, which was wrapped in black cloth strips.

  When Chen Lun first saw it, he always thought it was weird.

  After he took it, he immediately knew what it was...

  An ordinary broken sword, apart from gorgeous decoration and exquisite carving, there is nothing special about it.

  ‘Could it be Arnold’s broken sword? '

   Chen Lun thought to himself.

   "I will try my best, Your Royal Highness."

"Thanks."

  Princess Anna thanked her.

  When the music ended, the two parted by the dance floor.

  At this moment, Babaye, the director-general, came straight up and said to Chen Lun:

   "Mr. Jack, His Royal Highness invites you to sit with this lady."

"No problem at all."

  Chen Lun agreed with a chuckle.

  He already sensed in his heart that the purpose of Princess Anna's invitation to dance with him just now might be to deliberately take out the broken sword to attract the prince's attention.

   Taking Floy's hand again, the two followed Director Babaye to the rest area on the side of the dance floor. Princess Anna had already returned to the prince's seat first, drinking red wine in boredom.

   "Jack, and this beautiful lady, please sit down."

  The prince raised his hand to signal.

  After Chen Lun and Lun sat down, he laughed again:

   "Anna has never danced with the opposite sex. From this point of view, it is enough to show that my vision is accurate. You are indeed a rare talent in the empire... I respect you."

  The prince picked up the red wine, smiled and nodded.

   Seeing this, Chen Lun also raised his wine glass, and Director Babaye poured wine for him in due course.

   "His Royal Highness praised..."

   he said humbly.

   Dazlet shook his head and said meaningfully:

   "I just saw that Anna seemed to have a good chat with you, and even gave you a gift?"

  Chen Lun glanced at Princess Anna calmly, but the other party was indifferent, drinking wine by himself, so he had to speculate about the princess's intentions several times in his heart, and finally denied it aloud:

   "Eh... it's not a gift, but Her Royal Highness wants me to restore an item for her."

   "So that's the case, destiny-type supernatural beings do have such abilities."

  Prince nodded.

   "I haven't seen this kind of extraordinary power, can you show me?"

  Chen Lun's 【Multi-tasking】running at a high speed, in a very short time, after some thinking, he nodded without any suspicion on the surface.

   "Of course no problem, Your Highness."

He took out the columnar body wrapped in black cloth, and slowly opened it, revealing the broken sword... During the whole process, Chen Lun also noticed that the prince's expression changed slightly, it was a kind of longing Emotions mixed with jealousy are fleeting.

  If it weren't for Chen Lun's amazing insight, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to catch it.

  Princess Anna also sat up straight at this time, slightly frowned and looked at her brother Dazlet, as if she was a little dissatisfied with his interference in her behavior.

  Chen Lun touched the broken sword with his left hand, and at the same time snapped his fingers with his right hand.

Snapped!

Under the gaze of everyone, with a flick of the palm, the broken sword below was restored to its original state, becoming a long cross sword with the length of an arm and the width of two and a half fingers. The exquisite flame patterns are clearly visible on the blade, and the leather blends Under the wrapped hilt is a round convex sword head, presenting a royal family's iconic sun face.

  Prince Dazlet sighed in admiration, and immediately applauded.

   "What a wonderful power."

  He stretched out his hand naturally, and directly took the cross sword in his hand, staring at it obsessively. At this time, Princess Anna said from the side:

   "Thank you for your shot, Mr. Jack."

   "You are welcome, Your Highness."

  Chen Lun responded.

  The eyes of the two met briefly, but he saw a smile from the princess' gaze.

   "Should I return the sword, brother Dazlet?"

  Princess Anna said indifferently.

   "Isn't this a birthday present from Anna?"

  Prince Dazlet did not intend to let go.

"give me back."

  Anna's voice became colder.

  The prince saw this, but still did not retreat, with a smile on his face.

   "Anna, my brother likes this sword very much, how about giving it to me? In the past, I gave you everything you liked, so give it to me this time?"

   "..."

  Princess Anna took a deep breath, and immediately leaned on the sofa in a dispirited manner.

   "What if I disagree?"

  She shook her head and stopped talking.

  The smile on the corner of Prince Dazlet's mouth was even wider. After thanking his sister, he lowered his head and kept playing with the cross sword.

  Only Chen Lun noticed that Princess Anna's crown flashed a faint light.
