Chapter 1711: Chapter 1709: Sending You Off (Hainan Is Still Hotter Than Xinjiang)

As the final banquet, this dinner was indeed very sumptuous. Not only was the King present, but all the nobility attending wore lavish attire, making it look less like a last meal and more like a celebration.

Of course, Red Ponytail didn’t care about any of this, as long as she could eat, drink, and have fun.

Speaking of Louise, where did she run off to? It seems that guy went to talk to her, Red Ponytail wasn’t too worried, after all the roast chicken in front of her... was quite well done.

"Is it to your taste?"

At this moment, the Crown Prince of Wales also came over, watching Red Ponytail eat and drink, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

"Not bad, this roast chicken is quite flavorful, this chef has a promising future."

"Listening to you, then the chef has no regrets."

"You’re welcome."

Red Ponytail tore off a chicken leg and stuffed it into her mouth, then took a sip of wine and looked at the Crown Prince.

"Tell me, Crown Prince, how do you plan to die gloriously tomorrow?"

"Are you interested in this?"

"Frankly speaking, I’m quite curious. I wonder if your country has a taboo against suicide?"

"Hahaha, indeed, the Royal Clan is not allowed to commit suicide, and neither my father nor I intend to end it like that."

Listening to Red Ponytail’s outrageously disrespectful answer, Wales laughed.

"In fact, there’s nothing to hide. This is our Royal Family’s final glory, final symbol. Those traitors want to use this place and our bodies to decorate their glory. We absolutely won’t allow it. Even if they ultimately win, we will show them the Royal Family’s spirit. After all..."

At this point, Wales bitterly smiled.

"Now besides honor, we have nothing left to protect."

"Teach them a lesson... well, let me see."

Red Ponytail put down the half-eaten chicken leg, then rummaged through the inventory, and finally took out something black and about the size of an ostrich egg.

"Here, take this."

"What is this?"

"Void Bomb."

"Void Bomb...?"

"Simply put, it instantly accelerates particles, causing violent spatial collapse and forming an explosion... uh, even if I explain, you won’t understand. Just know this thing will make the whole Royal Palace and everything around it vanish without any pain. Simple, convenient, and no need to worry about mistakes. How about it? I can set a time, toss it over there, and you don’t have to bother with it. Quite simple, isn’t it?"

"Is there really such a magic artifact?"

Wales curiously examined the Void Bomb in Red Ponytail’s hand.

"How come I’ve never heard of it...?"

"Of course, you’ve never heard of it. This and the one outside both belong to me personally. If Louise hadn’t summoned me as a familiar spirit, you wouldn’t see them for another five hundred years. Frankly, I have no stance in this war. The grudges between you and the Noble Faction, I don’t care who is right or wrong. But considering that girl Louise is from Tolisstin, and those guys outside might declare war on Tolisstin next, I figured helping you isn’t too outrageous, right?"

"I see."

Wales nodded upon hearing this.

"I was wondering why neither that strange flying dragon outside nor the things in your hand seem to be from this world. So that’s the reason... What a pity you couldn’t appear in Albion."

"How about it?"

Red Ponytail smiled mischievously at Wales, confident that he understood her meaning. After all, if Wales and the others die in battle, it’s unlikely that a mere soldier would come to check the bodies. No matter how you look at it, he is the Crown Prince, and there’s the King too. If they truly perish, the ones inspecting the bodies would definitely be high-level officials from the Noble Faction. If at that moment we could give them a hit, it would definitely severely damage the Noble Faction. In this way, Prince of Wales could avenge, and the Noble Faction might temporarily halt their war plans against Tolisstin due to heavy losses.

"I am willing to accept."

Without much thought, Wales quickly gave a decisive answer.

"After all, at this stage, we just want to show the opponent our resolve... So I entrust this to you, Miss Familiar Spirits."

"No problem, when should I set the time?"

"Three in the afternoon, I think by then the war would have long been over. Those Noble Faction people should swagger in here to check and loot their spoils... I believe that’s a good opportunity."

"You’re quite devious, aren’t you."

"Thanks for the compliment."

The two exchanged smiles, and then Red Ponytail fiddled with the Void Bomb in her hand, setting the time, and then tossed it upward.

In the next moment, the ostrich egg-like thing suddenly disassembled, revealing its core, softly glowing. Meanwhile, the metallic shell formed a complex safety device, starting to rotate around the light orb. Particles flickering with faint light sprayed out and slowly covered the entire hall.

Upon witnessing this seemingly dreamlike scene, everyone at the banquet ceased their conversations, staring wide-eyed in astonishment at the radiant splendor that resembled starlight illuminating the banquet hall, rendered speechless for a moment.

Even the Prince of Wales gazed at the shining light orb, remaining silent for quite a while before he finally took a deep breath and turned to look at Red Ponytail.

"Honestly, Miss, I don’t know exactly who you are, but I believe you must be the envoy sent by the great Founder to accompany us on our final journey."

"If you want to think of it that way, it’s not entirely wrong."

Red Ponytail waved her hand, as she indeed was the Divine Envoy after all.

Although it really had nothing to do with any great Founder.

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Wales laughed once more and then stood up.

"Everyone, this is the final blessing bestowed upon us by the great Founder! Our glory, our efforts have not been in vain, the great Founder is watching over us! Let us welcome the final curtain in the name of the Founder!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

Upon hearing the Prince of Wales speak, the others also raised their glasses, shouting loudly.

The banquet was quite enjoyable, everyone seemed very cheerful, without any wailing or crying, and even though the Old King was getting on in years with inconvenient legs, he was still very spirited in greeting everyone. Meanwhile, Red Ponytail focused on eating and drinking, and drinking and eating, then patting her round belly before heading back to her guest room to rest—although she could also travel overnight, she had drunk quite a bit of wine.

If you drive after drinking, you’ll get points deducted and fined.

Just as Red Ponytail lay on the bed scratching her little belly and burping, she saw the door open, and Louise walked in looking as if she were sleepwalking.

"Hey, Louise, where did you go?"

Red Ponytail greeted Louise, yet Louise seemed not to hear at all, simply walking to the bed and sitting down in silence.

"What’s wrong? Drank too much?"

"........."

Upon hearing Red Ponytail’s inquiry, Louise slowly glanced at her.

"Baron Waludo proposed to me?"

"Now? He’s really in a hurry."

"I... I don’t know..."

Louise appeared somewhat bewildered. Initially, she couldn’t easily accept the Crown Prince and others preparing to die calmly, much less understand how the people at the banquet faced imminent death so cheerfully. Even in such a situation, Waludo actually proposed to her, which turned Louise’s mind into a tangled mess she simply couldn’t process.

"So, did you agree?"

"I seem to have... agreed."

"What do you mean by ’seem’? You’re not still drunk, are you?"

"No no no, I don’t know either..."

Louise shook her head frantically, feeling as if she were dreaming. At that moment, she seemed dazedly to agree, but now...

"I feel... a bit uneasy."

"Uneasy?"

"Yes."

Seeing Red Ponytail beside her, Louise felt gradually at ease and nodded.

"I’ve known Baron Waludo since I was very little. Back then, due to my inability to master Magic, I was often scolded by family, but Baron Waludo was always very caring toward me, and I liked him a lot. So when my Father said we were engaged, I was very happy, but this time... for some reason, I’m not happy at all..."

Louise remembered vividly the joy she felt upon hearing the engagement news; she was so thrilled she didn’t sleep the entire night, her heart racing as if it were about to leap out of her chest at the thought of marrying Waludo someday. Louise was filled with an indescribable sense of happiness.

But earlier, her dream had seemingly come true, yet Louise wasn’t happy at all. Instead, after accepting Baron Waludo’s proposal, she felt an indescribable fear, as if she had become a beast caught in a trap, helplessly waiting for the Hunter to close his net...

"Ah, the feeling..."

After listening to Louise’s account, Red Ponytail touched her own hair.

"Yes, Superhumans indeed experience an increase in intuition to some degree. If you sense danger, it might indicate that your subconscious has detected something, you see, it’s that so-called ’female intuition.’ It’s normal for Superhumans to perceive danger as their abilities enhance."

"But where is the danger coming from? Could Baron Waludo be a threat to me?"

"That’s beyond my knowing."

Red Ponytail shrugged.

"Anyway, you’re getting married tomorrow, right? Then see what happens at the wedding."

Then she spoke.
