Chapter 584: Origination of banquet

This is the first formal banquet of the Jiu Yuan.

Wu Chen and others are capable. Even the word banquet is new to them. How can we know what a banquet is like?

"The venue is set in the meeting hall. All the forces, tribes and caravans coming to the city can be invited as long as they are leaders of outside forces. How many people will be there on the hall?"

“Priest Da-Ren said to write invitations to them on the finest paper, and people who don\'t have the invitations will not be allowed in."

So the question came again, "What is an invitation? How to write it?”

At last, due to the high requirements of Yan Mo at the beginning, all the outsiders asked Yuan Bing to make a list. Including the new members in the city, how many people each force brought, their names and features, etc. were clearly remembered.

Yan Mo gave a simple invitation format, and these two problems are solved.

But this is the primary question. There are also questions such as: How to arrange the venue, what to prepare, how to arrange the seats, how many people are allowed to take the invitation, whether to receive the gifts they bring, how much should the servants arrange, how to arrange the guards, how to deal with the unknown situation when it happens, etc.

The most important thing is the rhythm of the whole party. Yan Mo said that he was going to have a party. He would not invite people to eat and drink. Those who come to the upper class will not eat or drink for the purpose. They are all looking forward to such a banquet, obviously expecting to get something or do something in it.

Without relevant experience, even with the advice of Yan Mo, if you want to have a qualified advanced level party in two days, all participants would be in a bit of a rush.

Yan Mo also has no experience in holding banquets, but he has attended many banquets of various specifications, at least he has knowledge about the general process.

He made it clear to Wu Chen and others that this time, it\'s just a trial, and they should accumulate experience. No matter what they do, he won\'t blame them.

Wu Chen and others secretly vowed that they would do their best in the party and not disgrace the Jiu Yuan and chief priests!

After the intense and busy preparation, the next evening, the party time came.

Some leaders of caravans and small tribes came here early in the morning. As soon as they got to the square, their steps stopped.

The inner city square is a semicircle, opposite to the semicircle is the past conference hall of the Jiu Yuan. Now it is called the central palace of the Jiu Yuan, or the center of the Jiu Yuan for short, because of its expansion and multiple purposes.

In the center of the semicircle, there is a huge stone tablet with the rules of the Jiu Yuan engraved on it.

Every outsider who is lucky enough to walk into the inner city square will come to see the stone tablet. Some people, especially copied the rules on the stone tablet.

For the rules of the Jiu Yuan, some people sneer at it, some think it is impossible to do it, and some think it secretly.

This is the scene of the past, but today there are some more shocking things in the square.

First of all, there are new carved statues around the square, including the Mer-people, the Tree-men, the Snake-men, the Kunpeng with Human-face, the Mandrill with one foot, the Dwarf, Tian Wu, the Wildebeest, the Iron-back Dragon, etc.

The size, height and beauty of each of these carvings are exactly the same.

Other forces also have totems and carved statues, but it is rare for them to erect so many kinds of statues like the Jiu Yuan. No, it should be said that other forces will not do so at all. Only the Jiu Yuan dare to make so many carved statues coexist.

Seeing these carved figures, people can\'t help thinking: The Jiu Yuan is showing their strength and deterring? Or are they telling other forces that they can accept any creature of any belief?

It\'s not just the carved statues that came out overnight.

It\'s not new news that the Jiu Yuan has lamp wood. They made friends with the Mucheng-Forest City and got a lot of lamp wood as a gift from the Longevity Pine Clan of the Longevity Maple Clan.

But now the weather is cold, the lamp wood cannot adapt to this climate, has been unable to open the perennial flower lamp. To solve this problem, another bone lamp was hung on the lamp wood.

The bone lamp doesn\'t know what structure was made of. As long as there is yuan-crystal, it can keep on lighting. Because of its high brightness, convenience, no need to consider the weather, no need to spend a lot of manpower and energy to cultivate, even the daily maintenance is extremely simple, there is a potential for the cities to replace the lamp wood as a new generation of favorite.

In particular, some regional forces with cold weather or long four seasons are attracted to the bone lamp.

We all know the benefits of bone lamp, but they didn\'t expect that bone lamp could be used like this!

In the past, only white bone lamps were used, but today they are decorated with colorful colors. They are hung all over the square. All kinds of brilliance flow came out, creating a dreamlike atmosphere throughout the square.

The most interesting thing is that the snow has stopped, but the square is still floating with snow.

But the snowflakes disappeared before they fell to the ground, and the square floor looked clean.

“It\'s beautiful." Tu Hou and others marveled.

If they are surprised by the bone lamp, the flowers and trees that are full of fruits in the square in violation of the season will make them fail to close their mouths.

Obviously, when they came here yesterday. The square was only paved with stone slabs, but it changed all in one day and one night.

The guards of the Jiu Yuan proudly held up their chests in the cold wind. Hum, this is nothing but one of the cooperative results of everyone\'s exercise ability.

To add a foray here, Yan Mo didn\'t ask for so much. He just wanted to find an excuse to gather all the people together, but Wu Chen and others didn\'t want the first formal banquet to be too simple. They all wanted to take this opportunity to let other forces see the inside story of the Jiu Yuan. In general, they could not let those outsiders look down on the Jiu Yuan.

Anyway, the warriors of Jiu Yuan have to train on weekdays. Wu Chen has a good idea. He just asked warriors to work together and make some small arrangements for the venue. With this, not only the training was not finished, but also the results of the training can be used to support the scene.

And the flowers and fruits can also be directly used in the banquet.

Through the square and the guard line, you can see the Grand Central Building of the Jiu Yuan.

The central building is the new word of the Jiu Yuan people, and most outsiders call it the Jiu Yuan palace.

The Jiu Yuan people don\'t want to explain what a Grand Central is to outsiders, and they think the term palace sounds more dignified, so they also use the term palace.

Guests walked up the high steps of the Jiu Yuan palace. At a glance, they can see the top of the steps. There is a huge carved image in the center opposite to the main gate.

"This is my totem of the Jiu Yuan! It took our chief years to carve the statue by himself. Even the material is unique in the world!” The leader said proudly.

The outsider looked up at the statue, and some people who had seen Yan Mo said in surprise, "This is Mo Da-Ren?"

"Yes, in addition to our Priest Da-Ren, who can become the totem symbol of our Jiu Yuan?!" The guide was very proud to announce.

Everyone looked at the new totem of the Jiu Yuan and saw:

A young man, 90% of Yan Mo\'s look alike, wearing the priest suit made of shark\'s gauze, with a rattan ring on his head and a smile on his face, stood barefoot like a God on the ground base surrounded by waves.

The young priest\'s clothes are engraved with symbolic patterns representing all kinds of blood abilities. A bird with wings was standing on the tip of his left finger, and his right hand is naturally placed on the top of a scepter. The top of the scepter is a ball with a star chart engraved on it, and the scepter is wrapped with two winged snakes.

The bird\'s face is lifelike, and every detail is extremely exquisite. The most terrible thing is the momentum he shows. His face is very gentle, but it makes the people who see him feel afraid and reverence from his heart, even an urge to kneel down.

Yan Mo thought: This is because Yuan Zhan used too much soul power and emotion when he engraved this totem. When he finished like the last stroke, it had a special energy.

Shortly after the statue appeared directly above the steps of the Jiu Yuan palace, his faith points had an abnormal rise.

Now there are not many people in the Jiu Yuan who see this carved statue. Over time, this statue will probably attract more faith points for him.

Careful people also saw a clear line on the back of the base of the statue image: the Jiu Yuan, Yuan Zhan stood with the Priest Mo.

At this time, people didn\'t know that this carved statue became not only the symbol of the Jiu Yuan, but also the symbol of the Pangu star. Yan Mo, by virtue of it, did not know how many people and faith he had gathered. And because of its special material, it can\'t be easily destroyed by war. With the intentional protection of the Jiu Yuan people, the statue has been spread to a far and far future, and has become a real holy thing.

Let\'s not talk about the future, let\'s talk about the present.

At present, because the whole tribe sheltered in the Jiu Yuan, and spent a period of time in the Jiu Yuan, Tu Hou and others feel the benefits of being attached to Jiu Yuan, many people have been born with the idea of living in the Jiu Yuan. Therefore, these people all take the initiative to salute the statue.

The guide was very happy. He didn\'t expect these outsiders to salute the statue, as long as they could maintain a little respect. The behavior of Tu Hou and others surprised him and won him a great favor.

“Come with me, all of you." The leader\'s smile became more sincere. "You are the first group of distinguished guests. In addition to being able to choose your sitting place freely, I, the Jiu Yuan, have precious little gifts for you."

Tu Hou and others didn\'t take this seriously and followed into the hall with a smile.

Today, all the doors of the hall are open, and there are sixteen upright bodyguards standing at the door.

The door was as bright as day, and the fragrance of flowers was steaming all over the hall, but it was not rich.

In addition to the front steps with the main seat, many small round stone tables are arranged in a circle like a flower in the middle of the hall, with clear water and fruits on each table.

There are no chairs and cushions beside the stone table. Instead, there are wooden benches with backs on both sides of the hall.

There is only one row of benches against the wall. In terms of quantity, it is not enough for all the guests to sit down today.

The guide said to Tu Hou and others with a smile: “Choose any position, stand where you like, and there are benches beside the wall when you are tired of standing."

Although the guide said so, Tu Hou and other people were still a little shy in front of such a big scene. They specially chose the corner near the door and were embarrassed to get the water on the table. They stood in the corner to observe the whole hall.

The guide nodded to the servant, who took the initiative to pour a drink for Tu Hou and others.

Tu Hou and others thought it was water, but they found it was wrong when they smelled it.

"What is this?"

The servant smiled, "This is fruit wine, a specialty of the Jiu Yuan, which is very precious and has a small output per year. As ordered by the priest and chief, ninety-nine guests who arrived earlier today can have a drink first."

Tu Qiu is lively. Before his brother can explain, he has already taken a big gulp.

"Well... I’ll be!" Tu Qiu\'s eyes widened.

The others looked at him together, "How is it?"

“Good! It\'s sweet, but it\'s not as sweet as honey or fruit.” Tu Qiu\'s eyes narrowed with a smile, and his little face was flushed.

Other people listened to him, and they all picked up the cup and licked it.

“Ah, it\'s really delicious! Sweetness, there is a kind of flavor that cannot be said."

The servant saw that they liked it, smiled and bent his eyes. “Please drink slowly, gentlemen. This kind of fruit wine will make you drunk if you drink it too much."

Drunk? What\'s that?

At this time, Tu Hou and others did not know what it was like to be drunk, but they did not wait for a long time, and soon saw and realized it with their own eyes.

When Tu Hou and others sipped the wine, the guests came in waves.

As the servant said, ninety-nine of the first guests got a glass of fruit wine.

Before long, forces like Mucheng-Forest City who have a good relationship with the Jiu Yuan came.

The guide is responsible for reporting the strength and status of the guests he leads, and he would tell them that they will go to meet the next group of guests after they help themselves.

Upper class people are used to all kinds of banquets, but the way that the Jiu Yuan adopts still makes them feel strange. They don\'t divide seats into high and low ones, and they don\'t set seats.

The guests in the hall are all mixed together, but most of the people of small forces consciously shrink in the corner near the door and do not go forward.

The upper class naturally gathered at the front.

"Huh? What\'s the smell?” The guests with a good nose turn around and look for the source of the wine.

The taste of ninety-nine glasses of fruit wine is quite obvious, especially before there is no real wine discovered anywhere.

Some people are asking people who have not finished drinking fruit wine, "What kind of water do you drink? How does it smell different from ours? Yo! Different colors too!”

"This is the special product of the Jiu Yuan. It\'s called fruit wine. It\'s very precious. It\'s very good to drink. I think it\'s a good thing if I drink something like this to warm myself."

The shared one dried up a little fruit wine, smacked his mouth, “It tastes strange, but I like it! A little more. "

“No more! That\'s all I have!”

TuHou and other people hid in the corner to giggle. They came first, and the fruit wine was drunk for them even though it was rare. Watching others make noise for the fruit wine, they all felt a sense of inexplicable superiority. They were happier that they drank fast and didn\'t have to share it with others.

People who want to taste fruit wine will go to the servant directly if they can\'t get it.

But all the servants said: the fruit wine is too precious. Except for the first ninety-nine guests who can get a glass, others can only wait for the banquet to start and see how the chief and priest Da-Ren arrange it.

Seeing that the time for the banquet is coming, Huocheng-Fire City high priest An-Bu took a group of people like Huocheng-Fire City to walk into the square slowly.

This is also the time when most people come.

An-Bu looked at the layout of the square with disdain and thought that the Jiu Yuan was just like this.

If we change them to Huocheng-Fire City, such a large-scale and high-level banquet, we will certainly do some huge welcome ceremony. What\'s more, the Jiu Yuan simply decorates the periphery of the banquet hall.

"Da-Ren, isn\'t that the person in front of us one of the Ding Yue tribe?"

An-Bu is reminded by his subordinates to look forward. Yes, he looked dressed. He is really a Ding Yue man using metal.

The subordinate then said: "Strange, isn\'t the Ding Yue and the Jiu Yuan at odds? Why are they here?”

An-Bu snorted coldly and said: “Not only the Ding Yue, but also the Chong-Bugs people. Their Clan chief and the Great Witch are here!"

“It\'s said that the Giants and the Winged also sent envoys with noble status. As for the Baixi...It\'s said that they have been mixing with the Jiu Yuan for a long time.” Another high-level fighter of Huocheng-Fire City said.

An-Bu\'s heart whispered, “I don\'t think the Jiu Yuan didn\'t want to hold a banquet, but wanted to wait for all forces to come together. Tonight\'s dinner, I\'m afraid they will talk about the alliance again. Da-Ren, if they mention it, then we...” Do you want to join?

“No hurry." An-Bu waved, "The Bone Sculpting People are not so easy to deal with. When their follow-up support arrives, you can see when the Jiu Yuan can hold on."

“But we can\'t let the Bone Sculpting People run rampant in our eastern continent, can we?" said a Huocheng-Fire City fighter.

“Of course not. But this is not the time for us to intervene.”

The warrior showed a look of incomprehension. An-Bu only looked at him and didn\'t explain to him.

Still, his heart was behind him, and there was no one around him, so he whispered with several warriors: "The Nine Great Cities, plus the newly emerged the Jiu Yuan, the Ding Yue, the Mer-people and the Longevity Maple Clan, don\'t you think there are too many forces in the eastern continent? You see, it\'s hard for everyone to come together and discuss what\'s going on. "

Huocheng-Fire City\'s advanced warriors seem to have realized something.

"The City Lord and priests also mean that they want to use the knife of the Bone Sculpting People to clean up some of the miscellaneous forces in the eastern continent. When they finish fighting, they will surely lose their strength if they don\'t say that they will lose both. Then we will unite several friendly forces..."

Huocheng-Fire City worriers got it. In fact, what he don\'t understand is just someone else question. Most of the people who can come here with An-Bu to negotiate with the Jiu Yuan are close friends of the Huocheng-Fire City\'s Lord. They also have a clear vision of their own City Lord and priests.

In a word, if Huocheng-Fire City wanted to regain its former status of respect, or even unify the whole Eastern continent, it will not be able to fight against all the forces of the Eastern continent alone.

The appearance of the Bone Sculpting People is both a crisis and an opportunity for Huocheng-Fire City!

The Bone Sculpting people want to take advantage of forces such as Huocheng-Fire City. Why doesn\'t Huocheng-Fire City want to take advantage of the Bone Sculpting people to consume the strength of other forces in the eastern continent?

An-Bu walked in the middle and said to himself, "Those fools! One by one, they regard the Bone Sculpting people as the great enemy. They don\'t understand that the real enemy is not the Bone Sculpting people who are separated from us by a large ocean, but the Jiu Yuan, who can make 10th rank warriors appear and the Ding Yue with metal weapons! If we unite to fight back the Bone Sculpting People, who can stop the development of the two tribes? Especially the Jiu Yuan and the Kunpeng people, the Mer-people and the Longevity Maple Clan! It\'s a pity that even Grand Witch Xiang and Fei Shan are standing at the Jiu Yuan. If we continue to develop like this, we will only know the Jiu Yuan and the Nine Great Cities will cease to exist in twenty years!”
