Chapter VI
The owner of Bergman's manor was a hereditary silver-eyed nobleman who had a four-winged knight in his ancestors, and although the reception was nominally a wide range of guests, most of the people who came were actually only silver-eyed.
At that time, although the Demon Realm had already given birth to three Lich Kings, the number of winged knights was still only a little more than a hundred, and the political status of the silver pupil often showed signs of instability. There is no way, the number of members alone may be forcibly increased by cloning the elixir, but establishing a spiritual connection with the Nightmare, or even summoning across planes, can only depend on talent. No matter how many silver pupils there are, they have no spiritual potential since they were young, and they can't establish a connection, and if they don't even have the qualifications to prepare for knights, no matter how long they live, it's a waste.
The wine field is like a battlefield, and what you can't fight for by talent can naturally only be obtained by relying on off-board moves. Whether it is a declining family or a new upstart, most of them shuttle through similar drinking parties day and night, forming an intricate network of relationships.
The era of the great exploitation of the Ripping Soil has passed, and the three continents have been crowded with hundreds of millions of people. The Demon Realm Sea Clan is not an object that can be easily provoked, and high-end powerhouses like the Demon Dragon and the Ancient Crocodile King naturally don't need to be counted on. If the new generation of demon elites wants to climb step by step with their combat exploits like their ancestors, it is really difficult to climb to the sky.
The great rift in time and space of the return of the Dumb Moon can only be opened once every 10,000 years, and it will take at least a few thousand more years to regain the homeland taken by the Aegean invaders. Although there are some small cracks that open naturally and allow a small number of people to pass through in a team, it is a pity that cross-dimensional combat without logistics is definitely not the work of the wise - only the stupid things that brainless and angry young people would do, and the nobles would never do.
As a result, the thousands of mutated arcane beasts on the Demon Continent fell into blood mold, and some of the super-level extreme realm powerhouses had to face hundreds or thousands of adventure team challenges almost every day, most of them were simply trampled to death, and they couldn't even get a decent death, and the output of the blue blood danqing maintained a steady growth trend......
But none of this has anything to do with Bergman. She's just a frail civilian lich woman, and she doesn't have to attack arcane arts to practice in the first place, and the "quick eyes and hands" required to negatively bless arcane magic have nothing to do with Bergman. There were also simple training courses in the shelter, and Bergman's grades couldn't even pass the worst three-star level, and the only thing suitable for her was to fill the façade in the aristocratic manor, and even when she got the cocktail party, it seemed a little down.
Therefore, at that understaffed reception, no one in the manor expected her, a newcomer to catch ducks on the shelves, including herself. The waiter was temporarily borrowed from someone else, and because of the size, Bergman also forced his eyesight to fade during the day and changed a few stitches before putting it on. However, it is precisely because of this small difference in clothing that she attracts the attention of many guests more than other maids without knowing it.
This includes a middle-aged thug from a rundown aristocratic family named Walker. This man's surname has long ceased to be glorious, and he himself has not had any outstanding achievements for hundreds of years, but is well-known because of his lustful flowers. However, the silver pupil's natural handsome appearance saved him, and I heard that this guy walked around more frequently with the female relatives of some dignitaries, and occasionally blew a little pillow wind, which also became the basis for this person to eat and drink at various drinking parties.
It is said that he usually does not dare to do anything to the maid at a similar drinking party, at most he uses his eyes to take advantage of it. But Miss Bergman's luck had always been very bad, and her eyes were not very good in the first place, and when she was serving a hot dish, her eyes were smoky with steam, and as a result, the dish and plate were buckled to the head of the unscrupulous silver pupil.
This is equivalent to Bergman's own delivery, and Walker has never refused this kind of mouth-to-mouth meat. Although the owner of the manor didn't think much of this silver pupil, he also couldn't afford to turn his face with him for the sake of a little orphaned maid, so things evolved in a direction that everyone knew with the acquiescence of the master. Bergman struggled desperately, but to no avail. The aristocrats who went to the banquet around him completely appreciated this incident as a crappy third-rate stage play, and no one was willing to stand up for her, and no one wanted to interrupt this "fun".
Bergman's white maid dress was torn by Walker several buttons in public, and he had to barely pull it with both hands to keep it from going away. But in the midst of this shame, she could vaguely hear a nearby nobleman making a bet on when Walker would tear off her coat.
The poor lich maiden was soon exhausted, and was almost about to give up the struggle, and all the sounds of the surrounding sights and sounds became blurred in his head. It seems to have happened many years ago, when Bergman seemed to be a little girl who was scolded by older children for being blind. Those nasty kids have always taken pleasure in pushing her frequently. Bergman, who was bullied at the time, seemed to feel the same way......
However, at that time, it seemed that someone had driven away the bad boys and saved their young self.
Who is it? Why can't you remember the appearance of that little benefactor? The long purple hair that was over the shoulder, the bright silver eyes, and the smile that was always on his lips was as dazzling as that of Dibolo.
"Humphrey......" Bergman subconsciously muttered the name as he was about to fall into a coma.
There seemed to be a loud shouting in the shadows, the muffled sound of heavy objects being hit, and the sound of tables and chairs toppling. Then the next moment, Bergman fell into a wide warm embrace. For a moment, the surroundings were filled with the breath she was familiar with and deeply imprinted in her mind.
"Don't be afraid, Bergman, I'm here ......"
The hosts and guests at the banquet were surprised to find that someone would send Walker out for the sake of a maid, and the latter would flee despite his aristocratic status. For a while, there was a lot of discussion in every corner.
"Who's that silver pupil? The face is very raw, how can it be as if Walker also knows him? ”
"Isn't this the new silver-eyed knight of the Bogart family? Just as an adult, he has already killed no less than ten mutant arcane beasts by himself. It is said that every time he went to the city, the mad ladies and ladies would stumble on the threshold of the hotel where he lived......"
"So handsome~~~ Look at that face, look at the lines of that muscle~~~ That little maid is so lucky, how nice it would be if I could take her place now~~"
Even though her eyes still couldn't see clearly, from the whispers of the guests around her, Bergman could still hear the true identity of the person who was holding her, and endless joy filled every corner of her heart. Humphrey...... Is it really you? ”
"Yes, Ingrid, it's me." In a trance, a coat with Humphrey's body temperature was draped over him. It's as if you've really gone back many years ago.
A relieved smile crept up the corners of Bergman's mouth. Her glasses had long since been knocked off in the dispute, and the maid's headscarf had also disappeared, and her long hair was naturally scattered so casually. The little lich girl lying in Bogart's arms now was not extremely beautiful, but her touching expression and natural temperament made the guests around her be shocked for a moment, and the buzzing noise was unconsciously reduced.
The owner of the manor reluctantly stepped forward. Since he did not show up in the first place, he has missed the best opportunity to solve the problem, and now it is too late to see Bogart, who is known as the hope of the younger generation, openly use force.
You must know that Humphrey Bogart's daimyo has already occupied a place in the three continents of the Demon Realm, and the Knights of the Templar and the Burning Legion are arguing over the recruitment of this young man, and even the legendary Lich King has moved the idea of taking him under his command. Although Bogart hasn't summoned his Nightmare Mount at this moment, that in itself is enough to show that he is excellent. Enough weight like this to weigh even the descendants of the Quadwinged Knight.
Of course, on the premise of making sure that Walker would not retaliate, the matter could be described as happy for all. Bergman was just a small maid, and she had not been abused either in the asylum or in the manor, and everyone turned a blind eye to the sudden incident. Gifting a lady-in-waiting was a completely common thing among the nobility......
In this way, Bergman left the manor where he had lived for several years. Bogart has a small adventurous team, and even the crypt shooters are young women, and while the arcane attacks are obviously flawed, it is much easier for Bergman to get in.
When it came time to pack his luggage, Bergman didn't really have anything to pack and take with him. She only came to the piano room to say goodbye to the young lady just as she was about to leave. The two girls, who were not much different in age, even hugged their heads and cried. It is not only happy for Bergman, but also sad for the fate that Miss cannot change.
The aristocratic lady, who is also a teacher and friend, is actually very poor in her own life, and she almost can't get a decent parting gift. The piano in the house was naturally not a gift, but neither she nor Bergman liked the other crystal instruments...... Before she had no choice, the young lady rummaged through the cabinets and found an ancient music score. Bergman received it, and the two of them cried slowly for a while, and Miss Lich finally set out on the road of parting.
Due to her lack of knowledge, Bergman didn't really know how sought-after her Humphley was. This is not just about the value measured by women's standards, in fact, whether it is an official, a temple or a large adventurous group, it is actually quite an honor for a silver pupil who is not from a prominent family. But he doesn't seem to care, or even rush, to summon his Nightmare Mount to level up.
At that time, Bergman didn't understand these things at all, she just wanted to stay by Humphrey's side.
