They dismounted and came to the door of the legation, where the guard at the gate and the leader of the caravan were old acquaintances. After a few small talks, the leader of the caravan handed the letter in his arms to the guard, who carefully read the letter and personally led the caravan around the backyard of the legation.

The leader of the caravan did not rush to leave, but said to the other guard, "This is our Lord Count of Axavier. ”

Chi Gu smiled and nodded at the young guard, then handed the guard a letter in his arms with the special fire paint of the Grimm royal family and said, "I have here a handwritten letter from His Majesty to General Kassel, thank you for your hard work, please take the trouble to pass it on." ”

The young guard looked at Chi Gu with excitement and trepidation in his eyes, and he hurriedly bent down and respectfully accepted the letter from Chi Gu's hand with both hands.

The guard held the letter in both hands and said in an excited tone: "You, you are Lord Earl of the Bones, I have heard of your deeds, you are so heroic! Oh, I'm sorry sir, I didn't expect to see you, I'm a little too excited, please come in first." ”

The young guard turned to the other guard inside the door and shouted, "Tony, this is ......"

Before the young guard could finish speaking, the guard named Tony interrupted him excitedly: "Oh my God! Come in, Lord Count, I'll take you to the parlor for some refreshments, General Cassel has gone out in the morning, and is not in the legation now." Master Vic is going out with him, and I'll have someone go find them. ”

After saying goodbye to the leader of the caravan, Bone followed Tony into the courtyard. The courtyard is very simple, there are no ornate sculptures, except for the bluestone paved pavement, only a few common Sequoia trees planted in front of the main hall AXavier, the reddish-brown bark is a little rough, and only the thigh-thick trunk of an ordinary person indicates that it is not very old.

There were no guards standing guard in front of the main hall, and the two entered the hall. There are no partitioned rooms on the first floor of the main hall, and several load-bearing pillars carved from white stone make the space of the main hall extraordinarily spacious. There are tall floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and there is a staircase leading to the second floor facing the main entrance. On either side of the staircase, two sets of armor and battle axes are erected in the white-carved stone handrails of the traditional style of Aixavier.

Tony led the skull to the table and chair under the floor-to-ceiling window on the right, and without his orders, someone had already brought refreshments and fruits, the refreshments were exquisite, and the fruit was a variety that the skull had never seen before.

"Lord Count, this is a juice made from the red snake fruit that is unique to Orion, please taste it. Tony gestured to the cup on the table.

The red snake juice was as red as blood, and bursts of strange fragrances came to the nose. Chi Gu thanked him and took a sip from the cup full of juice.

Chi Bone raised his eyebrows, this was the first time he had drunk such a delicious juice, not to mention the sweetness and deliciousness, even if the juice entered the stomach, there was an afterglow in the mouth, which was by no means comparable to ordinary fruits, and it must be expensive.

Tony was a very talkative young man, and he was thrilled to see his idol for the first time.

Seeing that he was still standing there a little reservedly, Chi Gu asked him to sit down and talk. Tony excused himself a few times, and saw that the bones really didn't have a frame, so he was no longer polite.

Like the other young people he meets, Tony's favorite is the "story" of Chipbone breaking into the South Prison alone. Yes, that incident has become a novel-like story circulating in the kingdom of Axavier, and there are many versions that are not presentable, and some are exaggerated to the point that even the initiator is dumbfounded.

Tony's most personal soldier of General Cassel has been in the Orion Empire for three years, and his knowledge of the city of Verbo is no less than that of the natives of Orion. Chi Bone just wanted to know more about the city, so he was happy to chat with Tony. Tony doesn't dislike his idol when he sees him, and he knows everything.

The two chatted very speculatively, and I don't know how long it took, but Chi Gu's ears moved slightly, and he heard the footsteps of two people outside the main hall.

Chi Gu thought to himself, "It should be General Kassel who has returned." ”

Tony didn't have the hearing of a skull, and he was still babbling.

The voice got closer, and the skull stood up and said, "General Cassel should be outside the door." With that, he walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

Tony hurriedly stood up and followed when he saw the Bone Station leaving, and he felt a little strange in his heart, because he didn't hear any sound.

The two walked out of the hall and just saw two people who had just entered the courtyard and walked towards them.

The Bone went up to him, and it should be General Cassel who walked in front.

General Cassel was dressed in a brown samurai suit and looked to be in his fifties, which was much older than his actual age. is nearly 1.9 meters tall, but his figure is not very burly. He had short shaved hair, a well-cut beard, and a knife-like wrinkle on his face that gave him a serious look, showing that he had been through a lot of battles.

One step behind should be the lieutenant Vic that Tony said. As far as Chi Gu knew, General Kassel had three adjutants, and these three adjutants took turns to be stationed at the front line.

Adjutant Vic looked quite young, in his 30s, a head shorter than General Cassel, and looked much thinner.

Adjutant Vic always had a smile on his face and looked very shrewd. Chi Gu didn't dare to underestimate this slightly thin young officer, and from the chat just now, Chi Gu learned that Adjutant Vic was a good sword player, and in terms of sword skills, even General Kassel was not his opponent.

This is enough to shock the bones, you must know that General Cassel is a real Endless Warrior mid-stage (king level), and Adjutant Vic is only the peak of the Qi Induction Warrior (lord level), and he is also the only one among General Cassel and his lieutenants who is not a king-level existence.

The Bone stepped forward, touched his chest with one hand and nodded, and took the initiative to salute General Kassel. General Kassel and Adjutant Vic also hurriedly returned the salute, looking at the skull in some surprise.

It is not to blame General Cassel for his surprised face, in many cases the title is a status symbol. After all, although Cassel is the supreme commander of the Kingdom of Azerville in the Orion Empire, he has never returned to China to be entitled.

Although most of the nobles of Aixavil knew that as long as Cassel returned home, he would have at least the title of an earl. But if there is no title, there is no title, and according to etiquette, it should be that the bones and other Kassel generals returned the salute after finishing the salute first.

After handing the letter to General Cassel, Tony saluted and turned away.

General Cassel took the letter and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, Earl, I need to read His Majesty's letter first. Cassel's tone was accommodating and apologetic.

"Of course, General Cassel. Chi Gu nodded in understanding and made a gesture of please.

General Cassel looked at the envelope and the seal on it, and after confirming that it was intact, he opened the envelope.

General Cassel read it quickly, and in just a few breaths he closed the letter again, stuffed it into the envelope, and then slipped it into his arms.

"I was rude just now, Lord Earl, I have heard that you are very young, but this meeting is still unbelievable! General Cassel made a gesture of please.

The three of them returned to the main hall and sat down, and said with admiration on their faces. "When I was in Xavier, I heard from Brother Dalles and another friend of mine about your heroic deeds, and it was an honor to meet you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince and your friend, for the compliment, and it is equally my honour to be able to give everything to my hometown. Cassel was also very happy when he heard the praise of the bones, although he did not care about the title and comfortable life, but for him, the praise of the royal family was his greatest honor.

"Ahem......" A light cough came from behind General Cassel, waking him up from his pride. As soon as Cassel turned around, he saw Vic's lieutenant looking at him with some complaint.

General Kassel slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce you, this is my adjutant Vic." ”

Vic stood up, bowed to the bone, and said, "Hello, Lord Scarbone, it's an honor to meet you. ”

Vic opened his mouth with some hesitation, but in the end he didn't speak.

When he saw this, he asked strangely, "Is there anything unspeakable about General Vic?"

"Hahahaha! This kid must still be struggling with that, just say, Lord Earl is not one of those aristocratic antiques, and he won't blame you. ”

Vic saw that General Cassel had spoken, so he quickly bowed apologetically and asked, "Please forgive my faux pas, but I'm too curious, is the bone your last name?"

It's no wonder that Vic has been hesitant to ask the bones, it is very rude to question or say the wrong surname of the noble family, and there have even been cases of hatred between the two families since then.

Although Acewell is notoriously the least ceremonial country in the Northern Continent, it is only relative to other countries, no matter where the nobles are, they all care about family glory.

Every aristocratic child has to learn countless tedious etiquette from an early age, from walking, meeting to attending banquets, etiquette represents the face of the family.

Chi Bone was not spared, and was forced by Dalles to learn aristocratic etiquette for a few days, which was one of the most distressing experiences for Chi Bone.

In the tribe, even the highest patriarchs and priests did not have to bow when they saw them, because there was no concept of etiquette at all.

Cheekbones always said to Dalles, "You will make the simple matter of greeting as complicated as a battle." ”

Therefore, Chi Gu always reveals his true nature in front of the best people, and in front of others, Chi Gu will still try to show aristocratic etiquette. Because Dalles said that proper etiquette is respect for others.
