Chapter 717: Chapter 720, dinner

After the first qualifying match of the Holy Spirit.

Jose was invited by Queen Yekana to the Embassy of the Iron Nation for a banquet.

Initially, Jose did not like to attend aristocratic banquets, but he heard lady marina say, “This may be a good opportunity to find the craftsmen of the Iron Nation.”

Jose had no choice but to take Healy with him for a free meal.

Coincidentally, in this banquet, Joshua met the enemies that the ironsmiths met in the first round… the members of the crohill battle team.

“Did that Queen capture you as prisoners and prepare to bring you back to the steel country?”

Joshua took a glass of juice and came in front of the members of the crohill battle team. They were also very reserved in this banquet of the nobles.

Four of the five members were commoners. The clothes on these four members were also crohill-style robes, not some luxurious gowns.

At a glance, their style was the closest to that of Joshua and Hiri in this banquet.

“You are… the person I saw in the Magic Arena.”

The leader of the team, Brella, recognized the stranger who suddenly greeted them.

“My name is Jose. I can only say that I’m someone who can help you.”

Jose looked at the three team members who followed Brella in turn. Their performance in the first match was very miserable in front of the powerful strength of the cast iron.

However, their talent in the game could be seen from the points of the stairway to heaven.

“Briela.”

She did not recognize Joshua’s real identity. Whether it was the founder of the magic net or the director of the movie, only a few people would remember these two identities.

If Tyreen was standing in front of them, Briela would probably choose to ask him for an autograph at once.

“That’s all for the self-introduction. Can you answer my question just now? Were you kidnapped by Empress Yekana? If It’s a nod, I can help you.”

When Jose said this, he glanced left and right. Many people at the banquet were paying attention to him.

Because the temperament of Jose and Hiri seemed to be out of place in this banquet, the four members of the crohill battle team were the same.

“Kidnapped… we should be considered to have been kidnapped to… here.”

Brella was also not sure if the previous situation counted as kidnapping.

“Is this kind of forced recruitment that doesn’t increase the favorability rating really not to capture slaves?”

Hiri looked at this girl called Brella. She looked like the daughter of a rancher. She wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses and had flaxen colored fish bone braids. Her temperament gave off a simple feeling.

The other members of the crohill battle team were the same… This made Hiri think of himself in the past, but the current her didn’t seem to have changed much.

“Capturing slaves. That Queen shouldn’t be such a person. No, she really seems to be able to do it. Anyway, can you tell me what exactly happened?”Jose asked.

Brella was very cooperative and told Jose about what happened after the competition ended.

“I rejected her Highness Yecana, but my parents just happened to find the magic arena. Her Highness Yecana made some kind of condition that made my parents agree…”

Brella felt as if her parents had sold her out.

“Well… I can take you back, but you look hesitant,”said Jose.

“Hesitant? Well… I just don’t think I’m qualified to be a Knight.”Brella thought for a while and said what she really thought.

“The competition for the cast iron must be very fierce. If I’m eliminated, I really don’t know what to do. It’s really hard to survive in this world if I only know how to play with the Holy Spirit. I can’t think of any other way to make money.”

“What did you say before? This child will do great things in the future.”

Healy quietly listened to her story and whispered to Josh.

She was able to resist the temptation to climb to the top. It was really difficult for ordinary people to seriously consider the pros and cons.

“I don’t even know how to refute.”Josh Thought for a while and then asked, “I guess you have a lot of concerns.”

When Josh answered Brella’s question… an old noble with a glass of wine quietly came to the table behind Brella.

This noble sat in the audience seat in front of Joshua during the competition.

He was very concerned about the conversation between Joshua and Brella, and did not hide the thought that he was eavesdropping.

“Your concerns and choices are all correct.”Joshua did not lower his voice. This was not a shameful topic. “It is indeed difficult for a holy spirit professional player to survive in this world.”

Joshua’s affirmative answer caused the old noble’s hand that was holding the cup to tremble. It seemed that he should have an heir who was a member of the cast iron. Otherwise, he would not have appeared in this competition.

“With that Queen’s personality, she would not hesitate to eliminate those weaklings.”

Joshua’s words were very successful in scaring Brella and the children behind her, including the old noble whose expression did not look good.

“Don’t be so nervous. If you succeed as professional players…”Joshua did not continue.

Because on the main stage of the banquet hall, the musicians who were playing music all walked down the stage, followed by the five cast iron men in black armor who came to the front of the stage.

They came to the front of the stage, held their heads high and took off their helmets.

These five ironsmiths were much younger than the nobles present had imagined..

“Everyone present, I know that you all have a question in your hearts.”

Empress Yekana appeared beside those ironsmiths. Her gaze swept over everyone present.

The nobles invited to the banquet were basically the pillars of the steel country.

“You are wondering whether these young people are qualified to have the identity of a cast iron person.”

Queen Yekana said what they were thinking in a loud voice.

“What they did when they came to Nolan was just to participate in a few game competitions, and it was a virtual game in the magic net.”

The Queen’s voice pierced into the hearts of these nobles like a needle.

All the nobles present had a basic opinion of these young ironsmiths… They were not qualified to obtain such a lofty status.

“But I’m telling you now…”Empress Yekana’s voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly. “They are not standing on the arena with their own identity today, but with the country of steel… standing on that arena on behalf of our country!”

“Your Highness Yekana, it’s just a game. Why would you gamble on the name of the country of steel, or even honor?”

A voice broke the one-man show of Empress Yekana. All the nobles turned around in fear, trying to find out who dared to ask such a reckless question.

However, they did not find… but they did find Empress Yekana. That was Joshua Arnold, who was standing in the last row of the entire banquet.

Joshua knew the answer to his question. The reason why he asked this question was purely to give her a way to continue the topic.

“Because the frost kingdom has also participated in this competition.”When Empress Yekana said that, her voice was filled with a dense killing intent.

“The Silver Fox family of the Frost Kingdom has also formed their own team to represent their country to participate in this competition. Do you want to let Nolan and the entire world know that our country has lost to those guys in this competition?”

“Silverfrost Fox? That’s impossible, your Highness!”

Many of the nobles present had a grudge against this family. Back then, the friction between the Silverfrost Fox Family and the country of steel had risen to the level of a war.

“Ironsmiths are warriors who fight for the honor of the country of steel, and this… is the battlefield where the honor of the country of steel is gambled!”

After Queen Yekana said this, the five ironsmiths beside her straightened their backs even more, and the eyes of two ironsmiths began to turn red.

“You can bet on National Glory just by playing a game. Do you still think it’s ridiculous?”

Joshua took the juice and came to the side of the elderly noble.

“Ridiculous… I really can’t imagine it.”Count Cruz had already expected that Joshua would take the initiative to talk to him.

“Currently, there are more than 400,000 players of the Holy Spirit on the magic net. These players come from all over the world. You should go and see the game zones on the Spellcasters’Forum.”Joshua shook the juice in his hand, the sound of the ice cubes colliding inside woke up Count Cruz who was in deep thought.

“You should really see… a group of players from other countries shouting the name of the cast Iron Man and cheering him on. There are signs on the Spellcaster Forum now.”

Before coming to the dinner party, Jose took a look at the Spellcaster Forum. The entire forum had been blown up by the competition during the day. Regardless of which zone, all the posts related to today’s competition were being discussed.

The cast iron player entered the sight of all the Holy Spirit players with an absolutely powerful posture.

Count Cruz did not speak anymore. Joshua took the juice and returned to Hiri’s side.

“Hiri, do you think I’m not doing my job properly?”

Joshua leaned on the table and watched Brella and her other team members discuss whether or not to reject Queen Yekana’s invitation.

“Do you… have a real job?”

Hili thought for a long time before finally saying this. She had been by Josh’s side for so long. One day, Josh was still shooting a movie, and the next day, he was writing novels and playing games. There was no fixed job at all.

“Ahem, okay, I really don’t have a real job.”

Josh shifted his gaze to the scene where the cast iron players raised their cups in celebration.

This time, he had established the Nolan Open System, which was equivalent to cultivating a large group of idols from all over the world.

As for the relationship between e-sports and cultural invasion… Jose recalled a joke he had encountered when playing games in the past, which was when he was blackmailing his foreign friends, they would use the four letters ‘kale’to indicate that their game had been stuck and needed to be paused.
