Chapter 741: Chapter 375: Crown of Silence (Six in One)_3
At this mont, the cockpit of the V Generation cha opened, and an elderly man, wearing a blue silk robe, with a small round hat on his head, face full of wrinkles, and silver beard, descended alongside a burly man clad in black Symbiotic Armor, his face covered in fierce scars, eyes resembling a beast.
Su Yuan was also taken aback upon seeing this, and exclaid with so astonishnt.
“Damn, isn’t that the Jyenis Clan Leader, the family behind Heint Interstellar Group? He actually left Saint Joex Star.”
“Heint Interstellar Group, isn’t that the company that monopolizes water resources?”
Su Ming said with so surprise.
“That’s right, it’s him. Let tell you, although the three major powers collect water resources, there’s always a gap. After all, there’s a trendous need for water—not just for drinking—it’s needed for agriculture, industrial cooling, and so on. Everyone who ets him has to show him so respect! Previously, when I accompanied great-grandfather back to the Holy Land, we specifically visited him because our family’s industrial production consus a massive amount of water resources, and extracting it ourselves is not economical.”
Su Yuan explained to Su Ming.
“I understand now.”
Su Ming nodded in response.
At this ti, other high-level diplomats of the Shabask Kingdom stepped forward to greet the prominent figures from various factions, engaging them in enthusiastic small talk.
Before long, Chancellor Banat addressed Lord Okens and the others.
“Let’s not chat here anymore. Let lead you to the banquet hall.”
“Alright!”
Lord Okens replied with a smile.
“This way, please!”
Chancellor Banat smiled as he led Okens and the others toward the palace.
Su Ming and the others also followed.
Soon, they arrived at the main entrance. The palace doors were made of ebony and bronze, inlaid with dazzling glass beads forming the elaborate royal emblem. At the entrance of the palace stood ceremonial guards, dressed in ornate armor and holding long spears, saluting Su Ming and the others with their spears raised.
As Su Ming and his group passed through the main gate, they entered a vast courtyard where flowers blood in profusion. Rare green plants were cultivated everywhere, and peculiar stone sculptures, pavilions, kiosks, and artificial lakes could be seen sporadically.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming couldn’t help but secretly sigh: it truly echoes the saying—’the wealthier the residence, the more retro the style.’
The entire palace displayed very little technological presence.
After so ti, Chancellor Banat led Su Ming and his company to a magnificent palace.
The palace was constructed of cyan boulders, with a roof reaching sky-high, and its walls carved with patterns of various mythical beasts.
In front of the palace, there was a square stone platform.
A gigantic ancient white bell was mounted on the platform, inscribed with intricate patterns.
Banat accompanied Okens and others into the palace, arriving at a spacious and luxurious grand hall.
The entire hall had been newly refurbished, with huge columns on both sides wreathed with gold leaf and silk.
The floor was laid with exquisite carpets, and priceless oil paintings hung on the walls, while crystal chandeliers shimring like stars hung from the ceiling.
In the hall, long tables covered with white lace tablecloths, laden with opulent fruits, pastries, and fine wines, were arrayed.
By then, the hall had already gathered quite a few guests, holding wine glasses and engaging in lively conversation.
Banat said to Okens and others.
“Lord Okens, I have many more guests to attend to. Please feel free to explore, and let the servants know if you need anything.”
“Alright, you go ahead.”
Okens replied with a smile.
“Please excuse .”
Banat then turned and left.
At this ti, the envoys from the Dark Star Empire, Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, and Saint Joex Star were also ushered in.
Okens exchanged glances with them, but no one had any intention of greeting each other, treating each other as air.
Commander Alekde then spoke.
“I’m going over there, keeping so distance from them!”
“Alright!”
Okens nodded in agreent.
Commander Alekde then led his team to a corner on the right side of the hall.
As for the Dark Star Empire, they also found separate spots to congregate, and the other guests in the grand hall, witnessing this scene, dared not approach to chat with them.
Fearful that by engaging with one power, they might draw the attention of others.
Su Ming lowered his voice and asked Su Yuan.
“When does the banquet start?”
Su Yuan glanced at his wristband to check the ti and said.
“It’s only half-past nine, still early. According to Shabask Kingdom’s traditions, the King will appear before noon to strike the bell at the entrance, declaring the celebration officially started.”
“Hmm.”
Su Ming nodded slightly after hearing this.
At this ti, there was a commotion at the banquet, and when Su Ming and the others looked over, they saw the Eldest Prince Solerka and the Third Prince Muret walking in side by side.
The many guests present all stepped forward to exchange greetings and congratulations.
The two princes warmly conversed with the guests for a while, then respectively headed towards the envoys of the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country.
Vice City Lord Okens watched this unfold and whispered to Commander Alekde.
“Indeed, Dark Star and Tianqi are not behaving themselves, not even bothering to put on a facade as they did in the past. It seems the old King’s condition is not optimistic.”
“I can’t make sense of the old King’s situation either. In recent years, I’ve visited him many tis on behalf of the Federation but was always politely declined.”
Commander Alekde spoke with a heavy expression.
“The most pressing issue now is to find out about his health status.”
Okens said, finding it troubleso.
“That will be very difficult, I’m afraid. Perhaps only his sons have so insights.”
Commander Alekde replied solemnly.
