PFC Chapter 632 Wine Tasting
Chapter 632 Wine Tasting
After many unsuccessful attacks, the Seth Empire finally compromised.
They sent an envoy to invite Kulonan to attend a wine tasting event, which was held in a noble territory on the border of the Seth Empire called Kusisi Territory.
The inviter was not Emperor Otu himself, but the crown prince of the Seth Empire, the second prince Satim.
He was one of the main initiators of the Seth Empire's invasion of the Beast Forest. According to the investigation of Campbell's secret guards, Satim was also the person in charge of the assassination of Kulonan. Hundreds of assassins, including Rea, were all hired by him.
The so-called wine tasting event was obviously the Hongmen Banquet, but Cullennan was not afraid, as he would just let the magic puppet go anyway.
It’s a pity that the current magic puppets are unable to transmit taste 100%, so Kulonan can’t really taste the wine.
In addition to the arena, the Seth Empire is also famous for its fine wines. However, they are not famous for their taste, but for the staggering number of varieties. The brewing techniques are even more varied. The headquarters of the Wine Association of the Walterlan Continent is in the Seth Empire.
In the past, when the situation was not yet turbulent, every time Kulonan went to the Seth Empire for business, he would visit the local taverns and bring back many special drinks from the Seth Empire.
The real-time control distance of the magic puppet cannot exceed a hundred miles. If it exceeds this distance, there will be lag and delay in the control, which seems to be a huge flaw. Therefore, Kulonan has to leave the Beast Forest no matter what.
But even if it is just a magic puppet, it should be safe at the wine tasting party. Even if the talks fail, Michelle is confident that he can evacuate it. This is the confidence of being the fastest man in Campbell County.
It is worth mentioning that Michelle has been seeing things more and more slowly recently, whether it is the flapping of a fly's wings or the attacking movements of an assassin, everything looks like slow motion in Michelle's eyes.
According to the authoritative theory of the Magicians Association of the Walterlan Continent, this is a sign that the Wind Elemental Mage is about to be promoted to an Elementalist.
Michelle has been a great magician of wind element for more than twenty years. He is naturally gifted and perhaps he only needs an opportunity to break through!
In the evening, a strangely shaped iron four-wheeled vehicle appeared on the streets of Kuxisi Territory. Its smooth and graceful streamlined design was very different from the style of the wooden carriages on the street. It was obviously a new type of magic vehicle.
Most people in Kusis Territory have never seen a magic car. After all, at this stage, this new means of transportation has only appeared in Campbell Territory and its surrounding areas, and has not yet been exported to the Seth Empire.
Considering the speed at which people accept new things, Kulonan was not in a hurry to export it. Instead, he spread some rumors and created some stories about the magic car.
First, carry out marketing promotion in all aspects to make the magic car a fashionable, efficient and status-symbolizing product.
Currently, in the entire Walterland continent, the only factory that can manufacture magic cars is the factory under the control of the Campbell family, which has completely achieved a monopoly on intellectual property rights.
If the magic car can become popular throughout the continent and become a hot commodity, there is no doubt that the Campbell family's wealth will reach a new level.
Soon, many curious people from the Kusisi territory followed the magic car. This was due to the fact that Michel was not driving very fast. It was also a deliberate arrangement by Cullonan, which was both for publicity and to let the Second Prince Seth wait for a while.
Although many minor nobles from the Seth Empire were invited to the wine tasting event, Culonan knew that he was the only guest of Satim. To put it bluntly, this wine tasting event was held for him.
It was not until the sky was completely dark that the magic car slowly drove to the largest luxurious banquet hall in the inner city of Kusisi Territory. At this time, the place was already full of carriages, which made the magic car stand out from the crowd.
Although Satim had received the news a long time ago, he only sent his adjutant to greet him. As the crown prince of the Seth Empire, an earl of the Omo Empire was not qualified to let him go out to greet him in person.
On the top floor of the banquet hall, Satim was wearing a black evening gown, his narrow eyes were cold, he looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at Cullennan who was getting out of the car, the cocktail in his hand shaking constantly.
"Your Highness, Earl Campbell has only one follower named Michel. Apart from him, no one else follows him. The terrible Campbell secret guards are all staying at the post station outside the territory. Not a single one of them has entered the city..."
Listening to the guard's report, Satim snorted coldly, "You are just as courageous as the rumors say. You are obviously only a magician."
"Your Highness, should we..." As the guard said this, he made a gesture of wiping his neck with a cruel expression.
However, Satim just shook his head slowly, drank the cocktail in the glass, looked at the guard and ordered: "Don't do anything unnecessary, don't even poison the wine that Earl Campbell drinks. He can't die here, otherwise it will turn into a serious diplomatic incident, and my father will kill me."
"If he and I have a pleasant conversation later, then we can make peace. But if he insists on helping those despicable orcs, then I will take action. However, I will wait until he enters the Beast Forest and then put the blame on the orcs he has been protecting. I will make the Campbell family a joke!"
"My subordinate understands!"
After the guards left, Satim turned to look at the magic car parked at the door, his expression full of mockery.
Several months ago, he heard that the Campbell family had developed a new means of transportation. At that time, Satim just thought it was a piece of scrap metal, and he still thinks so now.
These bulky steel products are far less flexible than flying winged beasts, and they also require smooth terrain, and are even inferior to ordinary cattle and horses.
No matter how you look at it, this so-called magic car is just a toy to deceive those stupid nobles and has no practical significance in the Seth Empire that advocates the use of force.
"Haha, wasting expensive metals and rare magic technology like this, it seems that the Campbell family can also make stupid mistakes."
However, Satim did not know that Campbell's military factory had already manufactured and improved many special types of magic vehicles based on Bai Hao's drawings, including military types, but all this was still being done in secret.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Kulonan smelled a lot of rich wine aroma. What caught his eyes were pyramids made of wine glasses. The long tables around were filled with colorful wines. If it weren't for the fact that this was a puppet, the aroma of the wine would be even more mellow.
Most of the nobles who came to the meeting were unaware of Satim's purpose, and they all came over enthusiastically to greet Kulonan.
After all, putting politics aside, the Campbell family behind Cullennan is a veritable wealthy family in the Central Plains.
Basically, the Campbell family is present in all industries related to the life-saving magic technology. If you can cooperate with them, even if you just take a sip of soup, countless gold coins will flow into your pocket.
And now, the head of the Campbell family is here, and these profit-seeking nobles of the Seth Empire are scrambling to toast Kulonan, trying to talk about some interesting topics in an attempt to make themselves familiar to Kulonan.
"Lord Campbell, seeing you is believing. You are still as charming as ever..."
“You are charming, too.”
"I am Viscount Byrne. I met you at a ball in the Swart Empire ten years ago..."
"Your dancing skills are impressive."
"General Aisha and I have corresponded with each other. We are close friends. She always talks about you..."
"Oh? What did Elsa say?"
Kulonan is very popular and can chat with almost anyone. In terms of socializing, Kulonan's talent is definitely better than Bai Hao's, but Bai Hao was able to surpass him because he had experienced the Demonic Illusion.
