An invitation came to Andrew. Its cover features a delicate lily carved with a carving knife, and at the same time exudes a faint fragrance of lilies, which immediately catches his attention. Andrew put breakfast aside and sat at his desk in his pajamas, as he did every day, dealing with the morning's letters and papers. There was nothing in the realm to worry about, so he picked up this fragrant invitation first.

"An invitation to Lily Gust's coming-of-age prom?" Gust...... Why is it completely unimpressive? Kante! Is Kante here?"

Walking in from the next room is a middle-aged man in a lapel shirt, none other than Kanter, Andrew's butler. Pierce helped Andrew summarize the affairs of the official documents and the territory, and Kanter was found for daily correspondence problems.

"Gust is the viscount of Feinberg, and he is now in his seventh generation. The previous generation of Viscount Gust against Feinberg and the Duchy of Aria sent only the smallest number of troops when the puppet king of Feinberg recruited soldiers, and the contradictions between the two sides were also put on the surface. Now, the Gust family's estates and territories in Feinberg are under the direct control of the pseudo-royal family, and their family has all left Feinberg to live and hide in the Nexus's area. ”

"So he hasn't been stripped of his viscount title yet, but it's just an empty shelf?" Andrew suddenly lacked interest: "What did he come to me for, I'm not Earl Hall, and I want to find someone to help him get the territory and manor back, and I don't care about the lighthouse territory." ”

"Maybe I'm sick and rushed to the doctor. Kantor said: "Despite the loss of their territory and estate, it is rumored that their family has already transferred most of their possessions outward, and there is a team of witch soldiers from the Desert Isles, who are extremely powerful, so no one dares to bully them." ”

"The Desert Isles? is the evil place where the slave trade still exists, right? The Gust family had dealings with the slave owners, and the decay of their family was the punishment of the goddess. Andrew tossed the invitation back to the table and wiped his hands gently. "I'm going to have a wedding soon, and it's not suitable for a little girl's birthday ball. It's okay for you to refuse for me, don't be too polite. ”

"There's one thing I haven't said yet, Master Feige is going to that ball. ”

"What is he going to do? Even though he doesn't have the surname Hall now, outsiders will still see him as part of the Hall family, and they will think of me...... Viscount Feinberg, the last thing I want to contact right now is someone related to Feinberg. ”

"Baron Goron, the champion of the single competition in the tournament has challenged Master Feiqi. I think he doesn't think the title of a solo competition without Master Feiqi's participation is a bit unworthy of the name, right?"

Hearing this, Andrew raised his head in his chair and exhaled, and sighed: "Who would have thought that he would make such a big change when he left Tawu Port City and came to the Sunset Mountain Range, and he would become a benchmark for the strong in the eyes of others. Kante, it's only been a year since he left the house, right?"

"Yes, it was last June. ”

Andrew pondered for a moment, then picked up the invitation from the table, and added the salutation, greetings, text, regards, and signature to it in only seven lines of small print, but he flipped through it and looked at it again and again. "I've decided not to go, but be polite when you reply, and give her a birthday gift—I don't know her hobbies—and a nun dagger, you'll be a little biter. In reply, he added a sentence saying that Feige was more stubborn, and asked him to bear with him if he caused inconvenience, probably like that. ”

"I've written it down, I'll do it. Kante withdrew.

Andrew was left alone in the study. The matter of the ball has been explained, and he will not bother to ask again. He was now thinking about the solo champion proposing a duel, and he recalled the thousands of battles he had fought with his brother Feige. From beating with a stick when he was a child, to changing to a training sword after starting to learn martial arts, to using real knives and real guns. No one knew Feige's abilities, or wasted talents, better than him.

"Father, if you hadn't taught him the chaotic and deceitful things of the worldly aristocracy, but had let him go to the church early, he would have ...... long ago He used to be better than me. Andrew was stuck in his memories for a long time, and the breakfast was all cold. He didn't eat in the end, but went to the church to pray.

Feige ate well, eliminating the fatigue of the previous physical recovery training and lifting his spirits. After all, tonight is the ball, and the duel is today. He deliberately flipped through his memory, and he had knowledge of dance steps, "he" was still a good player, but now he lacked interest in dancing. Besides, there is another competition in the evening, and the competition can be pushed off.

As a magician, you don't need swords or anything like that, but Feige lets me bring it anyway. He had an intuition, perhaps the intuition of the devil, that this Baron Goron was not necessarily the kind of person of integrity. After agreeing to the competition, he thought about it carefully, and felt that he should have been studying spells for too long at that time, and his mental power was a bit strong, and he didn't think clearly about some places.

The martial arts competition held by the Sect was just to select some potential talents for the model leader and increase his popularity, and even the grievances between the human knights and the elven warriors were added later, which can only be regarded as a highlight at best. Therefore, it is gratifying to win the championship in this competition, but it is not so important, that is, the level at which you can brag when you see a beautiful woman. The real swordsman master has not come, is there a "Feiqi" on the way to the championship that can have a big impact?

Goron was a baron, he already had a knighthood, and the stage of the model leader was a little small for him. Does he really need to drag Feige to "complete" the title? unless his character is one of honor, and at the same time hungry for food - in short, be careful.

Gust's estate was outside the city, not far from the common border of the Patriarchy, Feinberg and the Duchy of Aria. Although the region was not a battlefield - the two belligerents deliberately avoided the common border in order not to affect the Catholic realm - the symbolism was strong. On the way there in a horse-drawn carriage, Feige even thought of a classic movie from his previous life, Casablanca.

The Birthday Celebration Dance starts in the afternoon and lasts until after dark, so guests bring their own carriages. Feige's car had been rented from a carriage dealership, and he had been prepaid for the return trip to wait here, which looked shabby compared to the elaborately decorated cars. However, he didn't have a knighthood in the first place, and the priest and monster hunter were just professions, and he was considered a nobleman when he got the level of a bishop, so this carriage was commensurate with his status.

Knowing that the owner of this place is celebrating his daughter's adult birthday, Feige also prepared a gift for her. A bottle of holy water, a decorative thunder cross, a necklace to hang the cross. This kind of thing is estimated to be flooded in the baron's house, after all, he lives not far from the cardinal, and he will not lack this without anything. However, I can't find fault with such a vulgar gift from the etiquette.

"Is it appropriate that I don't send anything?" Tron looked at the group of graceful and luxurious "nobles" in front of him who were chatting enthusiastically, and looked a little nervous. He bowed his head again and straightened the clothes on his body, although it was not the battle suit of the time when he was out on duty, but it was not the exquisite clothes of the nobility that he remembered, just a simple light blue shirt and brown linen straight-leg trousers, which looked more like a servant than a guest. Anyway, even if he was asked to put on a dress, he would still be just as nervous.

"If you can bring a domesticated griffon mount, you're the center of attention, even if it's a princess's engagement ceremony. Well...... Maybe the princess will elope with you. Feige patted Tron and said with a smile, "Don't look at the clothes, and don't think about what gifts are not gifts." Didn't you see me coming directly in an armored coat?"

"But your temperament is very similar to theirs, and I am a little out of place. ”

"You're right, I'm the most out of place. Feiqi's brow furrowed slightly for a moment, but then he stretched out and changed to a relaxed coziness: "I'll teach you a way." Don't think about their clothes, just look at people, just like you look at monsters in the wild. How did Instructor Kailie teach? Judge the strength, the speed, the thickness of the carapace, the way of exerting force, and then look for the weakness and location of the internal organs......"

"Your method is so effective that I feel like my eyes are turning into murderous maniacs. ”

"That's what I wanted. "The men here will respect you because they're afraid of the look, and the girls will be fascinated," Feige said. Trust me, that's right!"

"Okay......" Tron was still skeptical, but he remembered this method, and he knew that at least he wouldn't panic.

A lot of people came to the prom, and they all heard about the duel between the solo champion and the melee champion in the jousting tournament for the real title. People who went to see the finals and wanted to get to know him would come over to say hello to Feige. Of course, Feige also understands that they are more because of the "Hall family", not for the championship of the martial arts, and it is impossible for magic.

But he still raised the banner of "Learn magic, find Feige in the frozen fortress", which was still held by Beni. Bennie sighed, she regretted it very much now, if she had known that she would have to raise this flag, she would have kept the face helmet of the whole body armor, at least it could cover her face, and it would not look so embarrassing. As soon as she thought of blocking her face, she looked at Xia Ni wearing a veil and cast a look for help.

Although she couldn't see Xia Ni's face, Beni clearly felt her smile and looked away, and then hurried to follow Feiqi, leaving her with only a slender back. This is a living example of a complete defeat of the muscular attribute to the faceless attribute.

Feige is not lying to say that he is out of place with everyone, except that he tells stories to others or talks about magic, he lacks common ground with the people of this world. It snowed in Veney County in June, and Fitch asked if there was any wrongdoing, and it turned out that the monster hunters of the Goat School had taken a virgin-eating Snow Maiden out of a hole in the ground. When the other party heard the "unjust case", he almost thought that Feige was complaining about the evil man-eating snow girl - this really can't be talked about. As a result, Feige just wanted to find Baron Goron as quickly as possible, finish the fight, and then find a chance to slip away - so as to save some waiting fees for the rental carriage.

However, Fitch walked around the birthday party garden twice and did not see Baron Gorlon, and when asked, the others said that they had seen him, but they did not know where he had gone. Feige wanted to complain, this is not a computer game, does it have to trigger a specific plot to generate a specific NPC? If it is to be triggered, who should be "touched" by so many people in the venue, is it the white-clothed guard behind the statue?

Idle is idle anyway, and Feige walked over with the barbecue sausage he had taken a bite of. When he got closer, he realized that the white-clothed guard was special. From a distance, they just wore a layer of decorated robes on the outside of the scale armor, holding ceremonial weapons to fill the show here, but they didn't expect that there were hidden spell runes on their scale armor pieces. It was only after a very close distance, relying on his sensitivity to runes and spells, that Feiqi was able to discover this. But as soon as he found out, he was immediately intrigued.

"Come, come, take off your blouse. Feige blinked, his face red and his hair standing on end with excitement and enthusiasm in his sight. "I won't do anything to you, you just have to stand still, at most I'll touch ......"

"Please respect yourself and don't reach out to touch me. The white-clothed guard almost gritted his teeth as he uttered the words, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword.

"Your accent is weird, aren't you? Where?" Feige followed his movements as he looked at the sword, not realizing that there were spell runes hidden in the plain white fish scale decoration of the scabbard. "Can you show me the weapon? Where is this?"

"They're witch soldiers of the Desert Isles, and each of them cost me two thousand gold coins to buy, but luckily it's cheaper to keep them than horses, otherwise I'd be bankrupt now. What, is Mr. Champion Feige also interested in witch soldiers?"

Feige followed the sound and saw a coolly dressed fat man greeting him with a glass of ice wine. He opened his collar to reveal his thick, wet chest hair, and the same fine beads of sweat covered his broad forehead, fat cheeks, and thick neck. The two maids followed behind him and kept using fans to blow the silk shirt like a flag, but they still couldn't cool him down. This hot fat man is none other than Viscount Gust of this generation, Van Terman Gust.

"Lord Viscount. Feige nodded and said, "I've heard of witch soldiers, but this is the first time I've seen them in person. Please forgive me if I am offended - I am indeed interested. ”

"First of all, the witch soldier is what I am saving my life now, and I will not resell it. Van Terman grabbed some ice from his glass, sprinkled it around his neck, and looked at the sky: "I still can't get used to the summer here, it's too uncomfortable." In fact, even the desert islands are not so hot. ”

Is it hot? Feige didn't think so. On the one hand, his physical fitness has improved after quitting drugs and strengthening exercise, and on the other hand, he may also be affected by the devil's spirit. He looked at the viscount, if he wanted to continue the conversation so that he could have a chance to see the hidden spell runes, he had to find a way to curry favor with the master here.

So Feige activated the Magic Matrix. At that moment, the witch soldier immediately became alert, and the long sword in his hand was half drawn, just waiting for the Viscount's order. Shani had already held the dagger in her palm, and if the soldiers were to move, she assured that she would be the faster one.

"A little magic that cools the air. "Feige used ice magic when he was dealing with the Blood Demon, and now it's a repeat of the same trick. As he continued to inject mana, the temperature around the viscount dropped overall, and the large amount of heat contained in his body was also pumped out and dissipated. Coolness and comfort surrounded Vantmann again, and he immediately smiled.

"Oops, so comfortable, so thankful. The viscount breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the ice wine to the maids, and they didn't need to fan it. "You're magic, isn't it? I've seen many spellcasters, real and fake, good and bad, but none of them are like you. ”

"What type am I?"

"Practical. The viscount was noticeably more enthusiastic: "I like practicality, whether it is a person or a thing, or a slave. Please don't mind me saying this, I'm not comparing you to a slave, I'm just talking about practicality. ”

"I can understand it, I don't mind. Feige pointed to the witch soldiers and said, "Since you mentioned practicality, then they must be very practical, so you bought it, right?"

"Of course, I'm just trying to stay next to you and cool off, and I'm a big fan of bringing it up with others. Van Terman asked the servants to fetch the "snack platter" and asked them to move two chairs. The two of them sat down next to the witch soldier and talked.
