Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 78 The Dinner Party

That night.

In the most luxurious hotel in the city of Berglo.

...

"Haha, Prince Ersha is truly astonishing at all times. First, there were the magic-powered vehicles, and now the magic-powered plowing machines. It's already foreseeable that in the future, our Kingdom of Aivisu will become prosperous and powerful under your contributions," Duke Alfred raised his gl

ass and laughed.

He was a typical old-fashioned noble, with a portly figure, yet his mannerisms and speech still exuded grace and courtesy.

"Duke Alfred, you flatter me. I've just been a bit lucky," Prince Ersha smiled.

"Lucky? I also wish I could be lucky enough to meet the mechanic who invented these magic-powered vehicles and plowing machines. He's truly amazing!" Duke Alfred said, implying something.

The other nobles around also secretly perked up their ears.

To the outside world, the inventor of the magic-powered vehicles has always been a mystery.

Only within the military did Sulian take the initiative to admit that he was the "inventor", while the outside world still remained unaware. The only rumor that has spread is that Prince Ersha got to know a talented goblin mechanic, and thus obtained the machines that revolutionized transportation a

nd agriculture.

The source of this rumor, of course, was deliberately fabricated.

Because Sulian and the others had Uncle Cam and the others cover their appearances and occasionally go to the city of Peter's Holy to buy daily necessities in person. With the appearance of these unfamiliar goblins, this rumor was more easily believable.

"I believe you will soon meet such a person, Duke Alfred," Prince Ersha replied, politely evading the question.

"Then I'll take your kind words to heart," Duke Alfred didn't mind and raised his glass with a smile.

Such a secret obviously couldn't be easily coaxed out.

At this moment, while they were chatting and laughing, Sulian was also dealing with the nobles who came to inquire.

...

However, because of Nalin by his side, most of the people he had to deal with were young men.

It had to be admitted that Nalin, dressed in a dress with a dark red tone and paired with her meticulously arranged appearance, was the most eye-catching among all the noble and chamber of commerce girls of the same age at the venue!

Precisely because of this, it directly made those nobles and chamber of commerce leaders with ulterior motives feel insecure.

Look at Nalin, and then look at their own daughters and granddaughters.

There's simply no comparison, right!?

What on earth does Prince Ersha mean? I haven't heard that his grandson has an engagement. And this attire definitely doesn't look like that of a servant, right? Is she Sulian Lendel's current girlfriend, and they haven't reached the stage of engagement yet?

But in any case, they couldn't let their own daughters or granddaughters approach directly, so they could only send the boys.

"Lord Lendel, do you like machinery very much? I heard that you're a mechanic."

"Your new knight mecha is really handsome. It should be mainly focused on mobility, right? What's its maximum charging speed?"

"Is this lady your friend? Hello."

They stepped forward and asked all kinds of questions, using simple ways to strike up a conversation.

Of course, the most important task was to find out for their own sisters or younger sisters. Was the girl by his side his girlfriend or something else? Otherwise, they simply wouldn't approach directly!

But without exception, the results were the same.

Sulian just casually chatted with them. When it came to answering about Nalin, he would only respond with ambiguous words like "a very good friend", making it impossible for them to determine the exact relationship between the two.

However, the aura of a high-level mage that Nalin actively exuded was obviously not that of an ordinary girl randomly found for the occasion.

Especially in terms of handling the situation, when some clever boys tried to temporarily invite Nalin aside, she skillfully and politely declined.

They simply had no way to succeed!

...

'Hmph, a bunch of brats!'

...

The two of them were giving these "peers" a crushing superiority.

Just then, some whispers could be heard in the hotel venue.

Those with strong mental power immediately discovered the reason, which was the arrival of a powerful figure! A General Caroline with the strength of an Eighth-level Holy Warrior, exuding an aura of killing and destruction.

"Ah! There are so many people. I should have known better than to come and crash the dinner party with such audacity," Caroline said in a surprised tone.

General Caroline!? Why is he here?

Everyone present who knew Caroline couldn't help but show expressions of surprise, including Sulian, Ersha, and the other two who pretended to be surprised.

"How could that be? It's our honor to have General Caroline here. Without your presence, our Kingdom of Aivisu wouldn't be so peaceful and prosperous," Duke Alfred stepped forward immediately. After all, he was the host here.

As soon as these words were spoken, even those who didn't know Caroline showed expressions of respect.

Everyone knew that although their kingdom was peaceful due to geographical reasons, its military strength was also a crucial factor. Among the five generals, Caroline, who held real power in external affairs, was the most important.

"Duke, you're being too kind. I just happened to be on leave today, and I heard that there was some speech of yours and Prince Ersha's here. I'm a rough man and don't know much about it. I just thought I could come and enjoy the dinner party, so I came here with a thick skin. Please don't laugh at m

e, haha," Caroline laughed.

"I didn't expect you to come. If I had known, I would have prepared some strong liquor for you. The wine here is a bit too mild," Prince Ersha also stepped forward and said.

"It doesn't matter. I brought my own. Whether there's a war or not, I can't do without alcohol," Caroline laughed.

"General Caroline, you're still the same old self," Duke Alfred also laughed. "But since you've come all this way, how could we let you drink the liquor you brought? I'll have someone prepare strong liquor for you right away."

"Haha, thank you so much!" Caroline said.

"This must be Walker of the Harrimos family, right? It's been years since we last met. I didn't expect you to have become such a dashing soldier!" Prince Ersha said in a surprised tone.

A trace of imperceptible strangeness flashed across Caroline's smiling face at this moment.

"Yo, since you know each other, I can skip introducing my new secretary," Caroline said.

"Your Highness Prince Ersha, Your Highness Duke Alfred, I'm sorry for disturbing you so suddenly this time," Walker performed a noble courtesy instead of a military salute, clearly showing his initiative to be friendly.

"How could that be? You're welcome to come anytime," Duke Alfred said.

Walker smiled. He had a rather good impression of Duke Alfred. At least, he was a noble who respected soldiers. Unlike some nobles who only thought that the soldiers of their Kingdom of Aivisu were just people who squandered their large amounts of tax money.

...

"By the way, Your Highness Prince Ersha, I heard that young Lendel is also here. I wonder if he's around?" Walker took the initiative to ask.

"You know each other? He's over there with his friend," Prince Ersha looked a bit surprised, but quickly pointed out Sulian's location.

Walker knows Sulian Lendel?

Those who heard this question all had such doubts in their hearts, but they just showed a slight surprise at others' social situations.

"Oh? The new knight mecha when I came here must belong to that little guy. Prince Ersha, you're so stingy. Why didn't you add more alchemical metal armor to his mecha? A warrior mecha is for close combat. How can it be strong enough if it's not sturdy enough?" Caroline voiced her opinion.

"He doesn't like a bulky design, so it can only be like this," Prince Ersha said with a hint of helplessness.

Huh?

Listening to these words, it seems that even Caroline knows Sulian Lendel?

This time, the people around were truly surprised.

"Brother Walker," Sulian took the initiative to walk over at the right moment.

His gaze briefly met Caroline's.

In that short moment, it was enough for them to convey messages.

"Wow, when did the little guy get such a pretty girlfriend? Aren't you going to introduce her?" Walker said in a familiar tone.

"Brother Walker, you're joking," Sulian replied without refuting or confirming. "Her name is Nalin Sertet."

"This is Brother Walker I told you about, and this is General Caroline, one of the five great generals of our Kingdom of Aivisu," Sulian introduced to Nalin.

"Hello," Nalin curtsied and greeted them.

"Hey! Little guy, I have to give you a good talking-to about your knight mecha. Why is the armor of your Douqi knight mecha as weak as a woman's? Not to mention in actual combat, it doesn't even look intimidating at first glance!" Caroline said in a lecturing tone.

"I don't know much about this aspect. After all, I haven't experienced actual combat," Sulian said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"Tsk tsk, you're a man after all. You can't be weak in this regard! When the wine arrives, I'll have to give you a good lesson," Caroline said with enthusiasm. A rough man like him couldn't stand such simple and practical problems.

"This..." Sulian looked at Prince Ersha with a expression, not knowing how to deal with it.

A normal child's plea for help, for a gentle boy who likes machinery, obviously isn't good at dealing with a general like Caroline.

"Haha! That's just right. Please, General Caroline, give my grandson a good lecture," Prince Ersha laughed heartily.

It seemed as if he was finally glad that someone had come to teach this brat who only liked machinery a lesson.

The surrounding nobles and merchants couldn't help but sigh and shake their heads slightly, feeling a bit sorry for Sulian.

Once caught by this straightforward general, it would be really uncomfortable. Good luck, little guy.

...

All the interactions were so reasonable.

Even a wily old fox like Duke Alfred keenly sensed something strange, but as long as Prince Ersha didn't have too much contact with Caroline, there would be no problem.

After all, Sulian was just a twelve-year-old child who liked machinery and had gentle manners, wasn't he?

...

In the end, Sulian was taken away by Caroline, who only had fighting on his mind, with a pot of strong liquor.

Nalin stayed in the venue for the time being and didn't follow them like Walker did.

In the square outside the hotel stood the knight mecha, Canglan.

"Is this the thing? Come on, take me to the cockpit and let me have a look. What kind of thing is this? The design is so weak," Caroline said, looking dissatisfied, and carried Sulian up.

Walker, who was left standing there, shook his head, seemingly helpless about his superior's actions.

They successfully entered the cockpit of the knight mecha, which could block external detection.

Then...

...

"Hey, little guy, we can speak frankly here, right?" Caroline's expression changed the moment the cockpit door closed!

There was nothing to hide here anymore.

"General Caroline, your personality is actually better than I expected," Sulian said, taking off his glasses and smiling.
