Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 180 Greedy Sophia

The Lord of Luoshen City spoke briefly and then walked down to chat with some people who were obviously great nobles and big families.

Although Xingluo's attire seemed out of place here and no nobles came to talk to him, he was happy to be idle. Compared with the identity of earl, the identity of magician was more suitable for him. The reason why he accepted the invitation here was just to see if there were any people from Pandora's family. He wanted to know how Pandora was doing recently.

However, after a quick look, he found that no one from the four major families had come, so he wanted to leave. At this time, a noble lady walked quickly beside him. She was wearing a gorgeous and elegant aristocratic outfit, a hat made of feathers, jewels and fine lace, and a necklace made of precious gems shining on her chest. This necklace exuded a faint and mysterious light. She was wearing a silver-gray silk long skirt with a wide and flowing skirt. Every step she took brought a light breeze like a cloud. She wore high heels made of soft leather on her feet, which made her look delicate and noble.

Xingluo couldn't help but take a few more glances at the other person's exquisite face. The noble lady, who had been moving gracefully just now, was now trying to pull a large piece of meat from a magical beast, and then stuffed it into her mouth, making her mouth full of oil. Because she was eating in a hurry, Xingluo handed her a glass of water, and the other person looked at Xingluo with gratitude.

"Thank you!" The other party's voice was also very pleasant. Xingluo waved his hand. The other party saw the greasiness on Xingluo's hands, then looked up and found that it was on his mouth as well.

While eating, she said, "Every time I attend this kind of banquet, it lasts for a long time, even several days. If I don't eat enough, I will faint from hunger. Don't look at those noble ladies who all have good figures." The noble lady said as she tried to straighten her chest.

But maybe because they are too young and don't seem to have developed much, she blushed a little and continued, "But they have to take a potion afterwards to vomit out the food they eat. It's so uncomfortable. They really don't know how to enjoy life. What's wrong with being a little fat?"

"My name is Sophia, and you are?" Sophia seemed to be very interested in the equally carefree Xingluo, and actually said her own name directly.

"My name is Xingluo, nice to meet you." Sophia frowned her cute eyebrows, as if she had heard of it somewhere.

However, Sophia quickly ate the monster meat. Then her fair little hand reached out to the next piece of monster meat, and then she took another bite and swallowed the whole piece of meat.

"You...look...why do you have to...put yourself in a difficult position?" Sophia said intermittently.

Xingluo nodded silently and handed the other person a glass of water. "That's true, but you should eat slowly, there's still a lot."

In this way, the noble lady ate and chatted with Xingluo, and soon this place attracted the attention of many young nobles, especially those who recognized Sophia's identity.

Dancing began in the middle of the banquet. Music and dance were intertwined, and songs with strong religious flavor were played. The Church of Light had many believers even among the nobles, and many songs came from there.

However, more and more people gathered around Sophia, and many noble men and women began to come over. More and more people noticed Xingluo's clothes and showed disdainful expressions. But when they saw that Xingluo was actually talking and laughing with Miss Sophia, their disdain turned into jealousy, and even a bit of hostility.

"Who are you? Go away. Don't you realize who you are?" A young baron couldn't help it. He stepped forward and stood in front of Xingluo, saying with disdain.

"How did you get in? Where are the guards?" a young viscount said with cold eyes and a commanding tone.

The guard came over in a hurry, looked at Xingluo, and said apologetically: "Please show me your invitation letter."

The other young nobles cast teasing glances at Xingluo. These two had publicly expressed their desire to pursue Sophia.

However, there were also many noble ladies who felt some sympathy for Xingluo.

Xingluo frowned slightly and was about to take action.

At this time, the Lord of Luoshen City finally stepped out of the crowd. He held the banquet today just for Xingluo, so naturally he would not talk to these nobles anymore. When he saw that Xingluo seemed to intend to leave, he did not hesitate and hurried towards Xingluo.

Especially when he saw Xingluo surrounded by a group of young nobles, including his own daughter, he walked even faster. He intended to bring Xingluo and Sophia together. The two knew each other in advance. He was about to be happy, but he found that the atmosphere here was a little wrong.

"Earl of Sunset Canyon, you are finally here." From a long distance away, the Lord of Luoshen City couldn't wait to shout.

The nobles behind the city lord were startled, "What? The Earl of Sunset Canyon is here?"

"The one who was a newly promoted earl and wiped out an entire faction?"

"I heard he is still very young. It's a pity that we didn't bring our granddaughter to the party."

"My granddaughter is here today. Hehe, she's with the young earl." A white-haired old man laughed heartily.

Xingluo was slightly stunned, and the people around him were also confused and were about to turn around to look for the young earl.

The old city lord had already walked over, and the young nobles hurriedly made way. Sophia also quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve, lowered her head, and tried hard to swallow the food in her mouth, but because she swallowed too quickly, she burped uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the arrival of the old city lord attracted the attention of the people here, and no one noticed Sophia's little movements, which made her secretly relieved.

Seeing Xingluo standing blankly in front of the old city lord, a kind-hearted noble lady was about to remind Xingluo.

However, the old city lord took the lead in extending his hand and tightly grasped Xingluo, "Earl of Sunset Canyon, you are finally here."

The people around were stunned, thinking that the old city lord had recognized the wrong person. Even Sophia looked at Xingluo in surprise and lowered her head shyly. Her father had told her about Xingluo yesterday, but she did not agree. She came here today to see what kind of person Xingluo was, but she didn't expect that he was this glutton.

"What? He...he is the Earl of Sunset Canyon?"

"How can you be so young? You are already an earl."

The guard knelt directly on the ground, sticking close to the ground and not daring to lift up.

The baron who had first provoked Xingluo was looking at him with horror, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

The young viscount also showed a look of deep fear. Although his father was an earl, he was only a viscount. He actually dared to speak to the earl like that just now. He felt a chill on his back and could not help but tighten his clothes and took a half step back.

Xingluo smiled and said, "Well, I was just about to leave. It seems that I am not very welcome here."

The temperature around him dropped instantly. When several important figures who had followed closely behind him arrived, they happened to hear Xingluo's words and their eyes instantly turned to the group of young nobles who were surrounding Xingluo.

Xingluo's words made the old city lord slightly stunned. He glanced around and saw the guards kneeling on the ground. He then looked at the several young nobles who often pursued Sophia, and he understood instantly.

The Lord of Luoshen City first told the guard to get out of the way. Before he could say anything, several earls behind him hurried forward to apologize to Xingluo. The young nobles, upon seeing their father and grandfather apologizing, turned pale instantly and hid behind their elders tremblingly, not daring to stick their heads out.

The old city lord couldn't wait to start chatting with Xingluo, and even mentioned Sophia next to him several times. Xingluo secretly laughed, but he didn't explicitly refuse. After all, the other party was the lord of the city next to his own territory, and an old noble who had been passed down for who knows how long. His territory has developed recently, and he has had a lot of trade with Luoshen City.

However, Xingluo still vaguely expressed that as a magician, he was more pursuing power and so on. The old city lord understood what he meant and did not continue.

Several noblemen who were pursuing Sophia turned pale when they heard that the old city lord actually wanted to bring Sophia and Xingluo together.

Some noble ladies who were also magicians whispered, "I heard that he is a space magician. Such a young magician is a genius."

"What? He's a great magician? Of the space system?" A sweet-looking noble covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice. She had barely been promoted to an intermediate magician with the help of potions, and a fire magician at that. She knew how difficult it was to upgrade to each level, and she was already in her 20s, and she didn't know if she would have the chance to be promoted to a senior magician.

Several noble young men nearby were also slightly stunned. They only knew that Xingluo was a young earl who was not even qualified to know about the Battle of Sunset Canyon that shocked the continent. Naturally, they did not know the identity of the great magician Xingluo.

The noble son who wanted to jump out and provoke Xingluo just now fell into deep fear. You know, even if these magicians with magical powers were killed on the spot, their fathers might not be able to avenge them. After all, only nobles above the earl level can barely invite high-level magicians, and the other party is a great magician.

If time is not taken into account, the entire earldom is not enough for them to kill. It is even said that magicians have many strange methods, and even if they don't come, they can still use curses to kill the opponent.

Fortunately, the Lord of Luoshen City arrived in time, otherwise they might have jumped out and showed off their power in front of the noble ladies. Several people were secretly scared.

As for the noble ladies, they looked at Xingluo with fiery eyes. For the nobles, the identity of a powerful and mysterious magician and a young earl was enough to make them pursue him madly.

The eldest of the family was a noble lady who was the daughter of an earl. She knew more than these viscount families, so she had already walked over first, showing herself with elegant movements, which was extremely seductive.

Xingluo didn't expect these nobles to change their attitudes so quickly. Before he could adapt, he planned to leave after talking with the Lord of Luoshen City for a while.
