Act 34: The Chaos of the Banquet (II)
In fact, Rosen originally wanted to contact Avinia first, but the Sage had obviously not calmed down, and Rosen did not dare to provoke an angry lion.
Reed Gray has no time to think about it, so he doesn't think about it.
In fact, Veron Eisleaf could have been contacted first, as a knowledgeable mage, he should have mastered many secrets that ordinary people could not access, but Rosen instinctively did not have a good impression of this guy, so he omitted to mention it.
When it comes to the most contact, it's Cecilia the silver dragon.
Hearing Rosen's greeting, the girl who was watching her companion feast, but she was idly watching the venue, turned her head.
At the same time as her, she was focused on some of the surrounding nobles.
"How dare he speak directly to the Sage Lords like this?"
"Where did this nobleman come from?"
"Looking at his clothes, it seems to be a guy from a remote area. ”
"So I don't want to be in the same place with hillbillies because they don't know what the most basic etiquette is. ”
The nobles didn't know Rosen, but they didn't suspect his identity, and it must have been Queen Rivendell who made some minor corrections.
In the face of their cynicism, Rosen didn't care.
Cecilia was interested, on weekdays, except for a few other sages, no one dared to talk to her at will, but now a guy has appeared, but it is a little interesting, she did not drive the other party directly, but asked casually.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
She glanced at Lawson and Tia beside him, and felt that although this man seemed to be weak enough, his whole person exuded a confident and calm aura, like a battle-hardened warrior.
This intrigued Cecilia, and she asked again without waiting for Lawson to answer.
"What's your name?"
"Rosen. ”
Rosen didn't hide his name, rather, he tried to use his name to test the people present to see if anyone would react differently, but he thought about it and finally made up a surname that he was quite familiar with.
"Rosen Ulysses, this is my sister Tia Ulysses, and we are from Bunajien in the west. ”
He still knows a lot about Grandia's hometown, and he has also visited the field, and based on what he saw in the Ultramarine Fortress, the Ulysses family has also fought side by side with the Sage in the past, so he must have received more attention.
"Bunajien...... Is it the location of Ultramarine Fortress?"
Cecilia pondered for a moment before remembering that remote corner, if it weren't for the Ultramarine Fortress, I'm afraid it would really be a wild place.
"Bunajan, does anyone know where?"
"It seems to be in the west, near the Forest of Eternal Night. ”
"Isn't there only one Ultramarine Fortress there, how can there be other noble lords?"
"Sure enough, it's a native bun from the countryside, so he doesn't know how to be polite. ”
Hearing the conversation between the two, the male aristocrats couldn't hold back their restlessness and whispered.
"Yes, exactly in the direction of Ultramarine Fortress. ”
Rosen was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied like this, which made some aristocratic girls look at him and favor this strange man.
"I would like to ask Your Excellency a question. ”
He said, looking directly into Cecilia's golden eyes.
"If the fire is exhausted and new firewood is needed to continue, how will Your Excellency respond? ”
Rosen's words sounded like a meaningless inquiry to others, but it made Cecilia's face change, and her eyes changed from curiosity and casualness to seriousness.
"Where did you hear that?"
Cecilia didn't answer, but asked Rosen rhetorically.
"An unknown person spoke to me, and he said that the Holy One would know the answer. ”
Rosen didn't explain, and he believed Cecilia could understand the implications.
Cecilia glanced at Cronor Elis not far away, and then spoke softly.
"If that's my fate, then I'll naturally inherit the embers and continue the flames. ”
"Even if you have to give everything?"
"Even if it takes everything. ”
Cecilia replied firmly, that no one present could understand the meaning of her words, not even herself, but only a secret belief guided her forward.
"I see. ”
Rosen thought of the end of this silver dragon, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
For them, fate is indeed a heavier word.
"Young people. ”
Cecilia came back to her senses and said to Rosen that Cecilia could indeed call Rosen a young man compared to her age.
"You don't seem to be here just for the wedding. ”
This sentence wielded the power of the law, and only Rosen and Cecilia could hear it, and then she spoke again, adding.
"I'm looking forward to your presence at the dinner in the evening. ”
Cecilia's hidden meaning was to let Rosen come to her at night, but in the eyes of many nobles, it meant something else.
They couldn't understand why this mediocre-looking guy was able to impress Cecilia with just a sentence or two, and it was clear that Rosen looked weak, and he was simply the standard uneducated country nobleman.
In fact, this is not to blame these people, in this era, the goddess has not yet slumbered, the laws of the whole world are unprecedentedly stable, and the concentration of elements is much higher than that of Lawson's time, in more popular terms, it is the era when gold is all over the ground and silver is as much as a dog, and the nobles present, as long as they are not born crippled or lazy, basically have a level above bronze.
A nobleman like Rosen's body, who is only in the upper reaches of black iron, really can't be on the stage.
But Rosen didn't care, he now at least had access to Cecilia and relied on her to help him find the monster's tracks, as well as the opportunity to find other Sages, and that was enough.
The banquet lasted until the afternoon, but the Sages had already left, and Lawson and Tia decided to return to their rooms to prepare for the evening banquet after a round trip.
However, as they moved along the castle's corridor, through the courtyard, to the tower where the guest rooms were located, they encountered a slight change.
The afternoon sun shone on the central square of the castle, leaving a golden yellow, and a small group of people gathered in a corner of the square, shouting noisily.
As he passed by those people, Rosen realized that they were testing their swordsmanship.
The competition between the nobles is usually not done by themselves, but by calling the guards and letting them fight each other, just like fighting crickets, if there is a conflict between the two nobles and they want to fight to the death, they will also be replaced by their own guards.
I saw a man in simple armor knocking another man down, and his movements were not muddy or watery, obviously after training.
He put away his sword lightly, and seemed to be the strongest of the group.
Rosen didn't stop and kept walking, he didn't have time to mingle with the fun of these nobles.
However, it was soon recognized that Rosen was the nobleman who had spoken to Cecilia earlier at the banquet.
"Hey, who's that?"
A loud voice came and shouted at Lawson.
Lawson ignored it and moved on.
"Wait a minute. ”
As soon as the other party's voice fell, I saw a cold light, and the long sword flew directly towards Lawson, with a fierce momentum.
