Chapter 278 The so-called power.
The door of the mansion was opened, and just when the waiter in the carriage outside the wall thought that Li De was about to come out, a cloud of fiery red flames suddenly appeared in front of Li De.

As the flame clouds continued to gather, the garden between the mansion's gate and the iron gate on the outer wall was all covered by flame clouds, forming a huge cloud bed.

As Li De stepped onto the cloud bed, the flame clouds that made up the cloud bed surged again.

A series of ladders made of flames appeared under Li De's feet, rising higher and higher with every step Li De took.

It was not until a height of several meters that the steps finally stopped being generated and instead formed a slightly wider platform.

At this moment, Li De was standing in the center of the platform.

The next second, as Li De slowly sat back, the flame clouds on the cloud platform surged again, and a dragon throne formed by flowing flame clouds appeared under Li De.

The flowing flame clouds formed into strips of fiery red cloud dragons, wandering under Li De's body.

Sitting on the Nine Dragon Cloud Chair, Li De looked like a god looking down at the world.

After Reed sat down, Claire came out, walked up the ladder to Reed's side, and then sat on a phoenix chair formed by nine black cloud phoenixes.

Only after Claire sat down did Miyano Shiho, Gamma, Zeta, Beta and Esdeath come out one after another.

When they climbed up the ladder to the height of two steps, the upward ladder was slowly flattened, forming a larger platform.

The flame cloud formed a number of moon-shaped stools (crescent stools) of different styles for the women to sit on.

In fact, if Li De didn't think the chaise longue was a bit unceremonious, he would have controlled Yanyun to create a few chaise longues.

After the women sat down, Chelsea and Suzuka walked out of the mansion, closed the door, and then stepped onto the huge cloud bed. They walked to the front of the newly formed cloud platform under the two steps of Gama and the women, and then stood on both sides.

It was not until this moment that the flame cloud began to flow slowly. After slowly rising to a certain height, it slowly drifted towards the direction of the palace.

And this is the shock that Reed wants to prepare for the natives of the magical other world.

To be honest, Li De has always looked down on flying magic. After all, flying sideways in the sky, no matter how fast, is far from the level of riding on the clouds.

Look at what Li De did. Not only did he bring all his women with him, but he also forced them to be full.

The only flaw was probably the lack of background music and the fact that Chelsea and Suzuka didn't have flower baskets filled with flower petals in their hands.

Of course, the natives of the Western fantasy world do not understand the romance of Eastern fantasy.

However, Li De planned to give the natives something shocking today, and the fairy music was naturally indispensable.

When the flame cloud rose higher and could no longer be seen by people on the ground, Miyano Shiho took out the audio equipment to play the BGM.

As for the flower baskets, I brought too few secondary contractors this time, so I won’t scatter them.

Without two columns of more than ten or twenty people, the desired effect cannot be achieved.

As the fairy music continued to flow forward, it took the flowing clouds nearly an hour to finally float directly above the palace.

This speed was deliberately controlled by Reed in order to give the top leaders of the Kingdom of Sharum enough time to react.

Therefore, when Li De controlled the flame cloud to slowly descend from above the palace, King Sharum, the princes and princesses, and the nobles who came to attend the banquet today had already gathered at the entrance of the palace.

Fortunately, the area inside the palace is large enough, otherwise Yanyun would really have to reduce the area.

As Chelsea and Suzuka stepped onto the steps outside the palace first and stood on both sides, Reed stood up and then slowly walked down holding Claire's arm.

With every step forward, the flame cloud behind Li De slowly dissipated.

When they reached the second platform, Miyano Shiho, Gamma, Zeta, Beta and Esdeath had already stood up. They then followed the two of them slowly towards the first platform, and finally walked past Chelsea and Suzuka to the palace gate.

At this moment, the flame cloud behind Li De and others disappeared without a trace.

There is no doubt that the top leaders of the Sharum Kingdom were shocked by Reed's move.

After all, this cool way of appearance really opened their eyes.

"Hahahaha, Your Excellency Sid and ladies, welcome." The old king spoke first.

In fact, according to etiquette, Li De should speak first.

Because no matter how strong he is, Li De is a guest after all.

However, the old king of Sarum, obviously a shrewd man, spoke first and lowered his posture to show his attitude.

In this way, if Li De still has some dignity, he will not be the first to lose his temper even if something goes wrong later.

In fact, if Li De and his party had traveled dressed as adventurers and then arrived in a carriage sent by the kingdom, the old king would not have been the first to greet them, let alone run to the palace gate to greet them.

This is the benefit of Li De’s elaborate and grand ceremony.

First, it is to tell the top leaders of Sharum not to label themselves as adventurers. We are not ignorant bumpkins from the countryside.

Secondly, she wanted to show her own strength through the pomp and circumstance, in order to shock the senior officials of Sharum and prevent them from being blinded by the beauty and having inappropriate thoughts.

Because nobles are creatures that are sometimes so stupid that it is hard to understand.

Sometimes their way of thinking is so strange that it is unbelievable.

However, all nobles have one thing in common, which is that they know how to respect power, or rather, they respect the strength behind power.

And Li De's trip this time is a real demonstration of his strength.

Especially the way of moving that does not involve any magic power has enough deterrent effect. After all, the unknown is scary.

"King of Shalum, nice to meet you. I'm Sid Kageno! It's an honor to be invited to your birthday party. Please allow me to introduce to you my sister Claire Kageno, and the important members of our Kageno family." Reed responded with a smile and made a brief introduction.

Since the other party gave him so much face, Li De was not a person who did not know etiquette.

"Hahahahahaha, I'm deeply honored that Lord Sid and all the ladies can come to my birthday party. Please come in!" The old king's tone was quite generous at this moment.

"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful." Li De responded with a smile.

Then the group walked towards the hall in the palace where the banquet was held.

After entering the hall, Li De and the girls discovered that the foundation of the Kingdom of Sharum was quite good. At least the lighting in the banquet hall was not based on candles, but some kind of magic props that could emit continuous light.

However, this foundation is also relatively limited. After all, apart from the main hall, other places in the palace still use candles for lighting.

Of course, the background of the Kingdom of Shalum has nothing to do with Reed. At this moment, Reed's eyes were on the seventh prince Lloyd. Even if the seventh prince was not interested in the old king's birthday party, he had to come.

Not to mention him, even his maid and swordsmanship instructor, Sylfa, attended today's banquet.

However, the reason why Sylfa was able to participate was not because of her identity, but because of her own strength as an A-level adventurer.

"Master, that silver-haired woman is the target in the palace." Beta asked Li De through the contract.

"Yes, it's this silver-haired swordsman. She is quite powerful in this country." Li De replied immediately.

"Hehe, I just like Sword Princess." Beta looked at Sylfa and happily sent a message.

After all, for Beta, strength is not as important as appearance, and being able to catch Li De's eye is the key.

Just like Suzuka, with her looks and that pair of worthless A's, she couldn't expect Reed to be interested in her.

"She has the aura of a strong man. After her bloodline transformation is completed, she will be no worse than Mabui. But Beta, you don't really plan to recruit only silver-haired women for the Seventh Division, do you? You know, it's not easy to find silver-haired women who are not bad in themselves." Gamma on the side praised and said to Beta casually.

"Of course they have to have all silver hair." Beta replied with certainty.

"Beta, I won't ask you how you want to build the Seventh Division, but Sid can't always help you keep an eye out for such high-quality contractors." Claire on the side reminded him.

After all, she didn't enjoy this kind of treatment, so how could she let Sid keep helping Beta find high-quality contractors?

It’s not that Reed can’t do it, but if he does so, the other girls, including Claire herself, will have objections.

In addition, as Gamma said, silver-haired women with good personal strength are not found in every dimension.

"Lady Claire, please rest assured, because your hair color can be changed when your bloodline is transformed." Since Beta dared to make such a decision, he naturally has a countermeasure.

"So it's me who has to work hard!" Miyano Shiho didn't expect that Beta would set his sights on her.

"Sister Shiho, please help me. Just consider it as a favor I owe you." Beta is quite generous.

"Now that you've said that, how can I not help you?" Miyano Shiho decided to stop while she was ahead.

After all, for her, it was really convenient to adjust the hair color when transforming her bloodline.

The one who suffered was not her, but the supercomputer that was responsible for modeling.

Moreover, even if she didn't agree, Beta could ask Yita for help in this matter.

The reason why Beta came to Miyano Shiho for help was simply because Miyano Shiho was in charge of bloodline transformation.

While the few people were chatting privately, the old king on the stage also finished a relatively brief speech, and the birthday party officially began.

There is no doubt that the real protagonists of this banquet are Li De and his group standing in the center of the palace.

As for the other nobles, they were scattered around, waiting for the opportunity to chat.

It’s not that they don’t want to get close and build a relationship at this moment. In fact, Li De’s cool appearance has already made these nobles a little impatient.

However, the first group of people who had contact with Li De and others could only be royal family members. One reason was that the banquet was hosted by the royal family, and the other was that any noble who still wanted to survive in the kingdom had to give face to the royal family.

Only after the royal family members have finished their conversation with Li De and others will it be the turn of others.

So when the old king finished his speech and announced the start of the banquet, he brought his family and walked straight towards Li De and his companions.

"Sir Sid, let me introduce them to you. This is my second son Albert, my sixth daughter Yaliejie, and my seventh son Lloyd." The old king came to Li De with the members currently in the palace.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Li, the future number one magician in the world." Reed walked straight past the second prince Albert and the sixth princess Yalijie, walked up to Lloyd, stretched out his hand and spoke.

"The world's number one magician?!"

"That Lord Sid is speaking to the Seventh Prince."

"How can this be!"

"No, it seems possible. The Seventh Prince has shown extraordinary magical talent since he was a child."

"Being recognized by an S-rank expert seems very likely."

For a moment, the nobles around who heard these words began to communicate in low voices.

Some people couldn't help but change the way they looked at Albert.

It seems that the second prince's position as the first heir will be challenged next.

However, before these people had time to think about it, a crisp voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Well, I can't seem to reach Lord Sid's hand." Lloyd said.

After all, he was only about 1.3 meters tall at the age of seven, while Li De was 2.1 meters tall.

But when Reed stretched out his hand, he did not bend down or lower his hand, so Lloyd wanted to shake hands with Reed, but he couldn't reach it even if he stood on tiptoe.

"Mr. Lloyd, you are currently at S-level strength, so I regard you as someone I can talk to on an equal footing. I believe that with your strength, it will not be difficult for you to shake hands with me.

I don't care why you're talking at this moment, but don't think I'll bend over to cooperate with you. You will be very strong in the future, I admit that, but even in the future you are not qualified to make me bend over, let alone now. "Li De looked down at Lloyd and said.

"Uh" Lloyd obviously didn't expect Reed to say such a thing.

After all, he is only obsessed with magic research, and his emotional intelligence is not that high.

However, the person who can become the God of Law in the future is definitely not a fool. After Li De reminded him, Lloyd immediately understood.

Before the old king and others could take action, Lloyd flew up, floated in front of Reed, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Reed.

"Hahaha, that's right!" Li De laughed.

"Dear Sir Sid, my brother Lloyd was rude just now. I apologize to you for his reckless behavior." Albert stepped forward and said.

"Prince Albert, you are worried. But your worry is unnecessary. If you want to become the strongest magician, you must devote all your energy to the study of magic. Your brother will not pose a threat to your position.

Because even if others want to support him, he himself will not be willing to do so. In fact, many people have been blinded by power, but they do not understand that power without the support of power is a castle in the air, a flower in the mirror, and a moon in the water.

This is why I passed you over, because you are not qualified to talk to me, or I don't think highly of Sarum's overall strength. Therefore, as the first heir, you are not worthy of my attention. "
