Chapter 319: The Tense Atmosphere
Chapter 319: The Tense Atmosphere
“King Alexander, we have finally met.” Kaka’s magnetic voice sounded. Mixed with his handsome appearance, he was showing a very special charm.
“Your Highness, it is an honor to finally meet you…..” Fei quickly walked up and started to chat with this handsome Kaka. With an earnest smile on his face, Fei apologized for not being able to visit Kaka earlier. In his words, he was really busy with administrative duties.
As he explained himself, he tried to inspect how powerful this Kaka was. However, Fei wasn’t able to detect anything. It felt like this young man was just like an ordinary civilian, but Fei knew that it was because this [God’s Favorite Child] was too powerful for him to see through.
Although Kaka’s identity was really noble, he treated people with fairness and gentleness; it seemed like he didn’t mind Fei’s previous declines to his invitations. After everyone had sat down accordingly, Kaka smiled and said: “I have always heard that the king of Chambord is heroic and generous. You had established the Three-Sector Six-Department structure as well as the Law of the Twelve Tables. You managed to turn a weak and dying Chambord into a prosperous level 1 affiliated kingdom; it is miracle work! In addition to that, you have shown your unparalleled strength in this competition and gained a lot of fans. I always wanted to meet you in person, and that was why I tried to invite you over several times. However, I forgot that Your Majesty has been busy coordinating all the matches. It was my fault, and I apologize for causing troubles for you.”
Didn’t matter if he meant it or not, what Kaka said made Fei feel very comfortable.
From what Kaka had said, it seemed like this [God’s Favorite Child] had done his research. He knew exactly what happened at Chambord to details.
Soon, Kaka continued with the smile: “Tomorrow is a very important day in the competition, and I shouldn’t be here bothering you. However, I’m leaving St. Petersburg tonight, and I really want to chat with you before I leave. That is why I came here at this time of the day, and I hope that you won’t get mad at me.”
“You are being too humble, Your Highness. It is my honor to have you here.” Kaka’s image was getting better and better in Fei’s mind.
In the rumors that Fei heard from other nobles in St, Petersburg, this [God’s Favorite Child] Kaka who was from the Holy Mountain was very mysterious and never showed himself in public. In the last two weeks, only Emperor Yassin and the Bishop of the Holy Church who looked over Zenit Region met him. All other people didn’t even get the chance of seeing him from afar let alone meeting him…… “Why is such a person so humble and polite in front of me?” Fei thought.
Although Fei had a lot of questions, his impression of this [God’s Favorite Child] was very good. Kaka was very humble and gentle like a warm jade. “Gentlemen are like jades,” Fei recalled an old saying and thought that it perfectly described Kaka.
For a moment, Fei and Kaka were having a great conversation. All other people including Priest Balesi were listening and didn’t interrupt.
Surprisingly, Fei found that Kaka’s thoughts and beliefs were very similar to his. He felt like he found the perfect confidant.
Ever since Fei arrived on this Azeroth Continent, he was forced to change and adapt to the worldly view and morals of this world. However, since the traditions here were very different than the traditions in his previous life, Fei couldn’t really talk about the beliefs and ideologies he had with people on Azeroth Continent or people in Diablo World. But today, a lot of what Kaka had talked about reflected beliefs that were very similar to Fei’s. Closer to the end of their conversation, they were having so much fun that excitement showed on their faces.
Fei was so thrilled that he waved his hands, moved a heavy stone table, and positioned it in front of him and Kaka. Like two great friends, they started drinking and chatting even more. Because time flew when they were having fun, they already downed four big bottles of top-quality wine that Elder Princess gave Fei as a present.
This scene purely demonstrated what it meant by “Drinking thousands of cups of wine is too little when you have a real confidant.” (Old Chinese saying)
The warriors of Chambord all looked at each other in surprise. They had never seen the king act this way before. It was the first time that the king was having so much fun chatting with an outsider. Priest Balesi, as well as other priests and cavaliers, were surprised as well. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they won’t believe that the humble, gentle, and haughty Mr. Kaka would show this side of him to someone who he just met; especially when that person’s identity was only a little king of an affiliated kingdom – of course, among the people from the Holy Church, Balesi knew a little about Fei’s other identity.
“I heard that you have also mastered the Holy Power of the Holy Church? Is that true?” Kaka asked Fei this question near the end; it was hard to tell if Kaka asked this question intentionally or not.
“I do have some understanding of it,” Fei said as he switched to Paladin Mode. The golden aura flowed around him, and he appeared kind, generous, noble, and gentle. This energy was exactly the same as the Holy Power that the people of the Holy Church tried to cultivate. However, it seemed like Fei’s power was purer, and the entire space inside the tent got brighter and more cheerful.
The Holy Church didn’t prohibit people from practicing the Holy Power; instead, they actually encouraged people and called them the subjects of the gods. Therefore, Fei didn’t hide his Paladin Power. Moreover, Fei had used his Paladin’s skills before and many people witnessed it; it would be hard for him to hide it.
“God! I didn’t expect you to have such an advanced understanding of the Holy Power.” Kaka’s reaction was very real. As if he had confirmed something, his eyes lit up as he clapped and laughed: “I was planning to invite you to join the Holy Church, but it seems like I was planning unnecessary work! Haha! No need!”
Fei smiled and didn’t say anything.
The king knew what Kaka meant.
The color of his “Holy Power” must have misguided this [God’s Favorite Child]. Just like the Priest Zola at Chambord, Kaka thought that Fei was also a [God’s Favorite Child]. After these days of learning, Fei understood how important the color of the Holy Power was to the Holy Church. There had never been a “wild” [God’s Favorite Child] before. Before the [God’s Favorite Children] were born, the god-tier device in the Holy Mountain would detect them, and the forces of the Holy Church would try to find them and recruit them into the Church for future development.
The identity of [God’s Favorite Child] was really noble. It was said that they were the representatives of gods, and they all had the chance to become the supreme leader of the Holy Church – the Pope. These [God’s Favorite Children] had one special and obvious characteristic – their Holy Power would be gold compared to the silver color of others.
Fei was the first “wild” [God’s Favorite Child] in this history of Azeroth.
Unless he met the Pope who knew exactly how many [God’s Favorite Children] there were and the names of them, Fei would be able to fool everyone else with his Golden “Holy Power”.
It was obvious! Even Kaka who was a [God’s Favorite Child] even believed Fei’s other identity.
Beside Kaka who was smiling joyously, the Priest Balesi squinted his eyes.
As if he was getting to know the king for the second time, he carefully observed him; he didn’t even try to hide his rude inspection. What made Fei curious was that well-hidden murderous intent and hostility could be sensed from Balesi’s eyes that were calm a moment ago. If Fei didn’t switch back to Barbarian Mode that was extremely sensitive to hostility, he would be fool by this elder and won’t be able to detect it.
Behind Balesi, the few armored cavaliers were shocked by what they saw. Their expressions changed the most as a sense of respect and hostility appeared on their faces. However, the hostility on them was more obvious, and even people like Drogba, Pierce, and Robbin sensed it.
The atmosphere in the tent got tense as people from both parties got a little nervous.
As if the cold north wind blew through the curtain, the temperature inside the tent dropped a lot; it was bone-chilling.
The only two people who seemed unaffected by all this was Fei and Kaka. As if nothing had happened, they looked at each other and smiled as they chugged down their wine.
At this time, a fragrance appeared as a series of footsteps sounded outside the tent. After the curtain door was opened, a person walked in and brightened up the tent.
It was the future queen, Angela.
Kaka felt like his world lit up, and he sensed a feel of spring despite the fact that it was still winter.
As a noble [God’s Favorite Child], Kaka who had left the Holy Mountain and been traveling through the continent for five years was invited to all kinds of parties and balls as an honorable guest. He had been to numerous upper-class dinners, and he had met numerous beautiful woman. However, none of them have moved him as much as this girl in front of him. This girl in the white dress was special. Her black long hair was tied behind her head, and she was wearing a golden snake-shaped armband. She was clear and fresh like the spring water inside a natural valley.
