Chapter 184: Banquet at Xiangduola tonight

...

Fortunately, the entire Shandia tribe usually holds meetings and discussions in the middle tent, so the middle tent is built very tall and spacious, so even people of Moriah and Weevil can easily enter.

At this time, both parties sat down in the tent. There were only four people on Gel's side, namely, Weible, Moria, Senior and himself. The others were taken away to play by Aya, and Ajin also went as a bodyguard.

On the Shandia side, in addition to the chief and Thors sitting there, there were a dozen Shandia warriors standing in a row in the back, ready for battle.

Although the chief said they were friends, anyone with a bit of common sense could sense that the atmosphere in the tent was very strange.

Especially their captain, War Ghost Thors, who has always been the most radical advocate of war, was the most polite person today. Such abnormal behavior made it difficult for everyone not to suspect that there was another hidden story.

"Please enjoy!"

Several young Shandia girls brought water and a plate of berries, placed them gently on the table, said something, and prepared to leave.

The girls were young and beautiful, wearing clothes and accessories with the characteristics of Shandia, and with a pair of white wings on their backs. There was an indescribable exotic charm that made Geer couldn't help but admire them a few more times.

The brave Shandia girl met Geer's gaze without any shyness and responded with a sunny and bright smile.

The chieftain was the first to speak and asked:

"I wonder what the distinguished guest said he had something important to discuss with you. What is it?"

Thors added.

"Captain, let me introduce you to this person. This is the current chieftain of Shandia. Didn't you say you wanted to discuss something with him?"

"Captain! Captain!"

Seeing his captain's eyes almost popping out of his sockets as he ran out with the group of Shandia beauties, without hearing what anyone said at all, Senior coughed twice in embarrassment and reminded them in a low voice.

"Not bad!"

Gel came back to his senses and said casually.

After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone in the room was looking at him with strange eyes. He remained calm and continued speaking without any embarrassment:

"Ahem, I mean this coconut water is pretty good, it tastes good! What are you thinking about?"

Gel pointed at the cup seriously and blamed the other party at the same time.

“Yes, yes, this coconut water is good.”

Everyone felt ashamed of their improper thinking and misunderstanding of the upright Captain Gul, and nodded apologetically to show their agreement. The coconut milk on their Sky Island was indeed very delicious, and they had been drinking it since they were young.

"Drink, you guys drink too, just treat us as your own family, there's no need to be so formal."

Gel picked up his cup and took a big gulp of it, while urging the nervous and alert Shandia warriors to raise their glasses and drink together, not treating themselves as outsiders at all.

The Shandia warriors were all confused. This guy really didn't consider himself an outsider.

The chief couldn't help but turn his head and look at Thors next to him, as if to confirm with him whether this guy was really the leader of these people?

Seeing Thors spread his hands helplessly and nodded affirmatively, the chief's brows frowned even deeper.

Are you pretending to be stupid?

Pretending to be harmless to humans and animals?

He has good acting skills and is thick-skinned. It seems that this person is not easy to deal with!

Before coming in, Thors had privately told the chief the whole story, and especially emphasized that this group of people possessed power beyond their comprehension, and that they should never engage in direct conflict with them unless absolutely necessary.

The chief also agreed with it after hearing this.

He felt that he was already very strong to be able to fight against Paijibei without being seriously injured, but what kind of strength does it take to blow the wind with Paijibei?

What on earth do these people intend for the Shandia people?

The chief thought about it for a long time, but still had no idea. He couldn't think of what the other party wanted to discuss with him. Marriage? Well, it seemed possible.

Seeing that the Shandia people did not move, Geer suddenly put away the smile on his face, looked straight into the eyes of the chief, and changed the subject and said:

"Why don't you drink it? Could it be that this drink is poisoned?"

The room fell silent instantly, and the cold tone made everyone feel as if they had entered winter in an instant.

"puff!"

"Nani? Poisonous?"

Moria, who was drinking happily, was so scared that he sprayed the drink in his mouth in the form of mist, and everyone on the opposite side was also affected. No one was spared.

A dozen Shandia warriors were startled by Moria's sudden action. They were already on edge and subconsciously reached for their weapons. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense.

Gel did not take any further action. His calm eyes slowly swept over everyone.

The Shandia warriors felt cold sweat on their backs. Only then did they realize that when the boy in front of them stopped laughing and became serious, the suffocating sense of oppression and cold eyes were really terrifying.

"Haha, Lord Gur, you are joking. This coconut water is the drink we serve to our distinguished guests. How could it be poisonous?"

The chief secretly pinched his thigh under the table and spoke with a smile.

"Besides, we Shandians never resort to such despicable means. Let alone our friends, even if an enemy comes, as long as he has the courage to sit down and drink a cup of tea from us, we will never do something that would dishonor the name of the great warrior Kalgara by poisoning the water."

After the chief had finished speaking, he picked up his cup and started drinking, in response to Gel's test, and also as a statement on the question of "whether Gel should be considered one of his own".

Seeing that the corners of Gel's mouth turned up and a smile appeared on his face again, Thors, who was most afraid of the breakdown of the negotiations, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He also picked up the cup and took a sip of the drink to calm his nerves.

"Very good, go gather your warriors, we will set out now to retake Arpaiado, we will hold a banquet in Shandor tonight!"

Ger didn't waste any time, put down the cup and spoke directly.

"Poof! Poof!!"

The chief and Thors sprayed out the coconut water in their mouths at the same time. Fortunately, Senior was always on guard against the other party's actions and made predictions with his observation Haki. When the two were about to spray, Senior took a step ahead, picked up the fruit plate on the table with his left hand, and then slapped his right hand hard, overturning the whole table and blocking the water attacks of the two.

The Shandia warriors standing at the back looked at each other, thinking that this man was bragging without fear of leaking his tongue. If it was so easy to retake Arpaiado, how come they had not been able to return to their homeland after several generations of efforts and sacrifices and fighting for hundreds of years?

"Arrogant! So arrogant! You..."

The man wanted to continue speaking, but was frightened by the chief's look and shut his mouth.
