Earl Swift wears a dark blue long-sleeved collarless silk shirt with gold embroidery on the cuffs and placket, and dark blue skinny leather pants on the bottom, which are also embellished with gold embroidered edges.

It would have worked better if his face had been a little more serious, a little haughty, instead of a smirk like it is now.

"Long time no see, Lord An Xiaoyi" he stretched out his hand and looked at me worriedly.

"Long time no see," I smiled and shook his hand.

Suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his old face was crawling with even more exaggerated smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Moving my gaze to Jin Siqi, I said lightly: "This is the great nobleman of Balan City, Count Swift. ”

Jin Siqi replied with a stiff lady's salute, her voice trembled slightly, and said, "See, I've seen Lord Earl." ”

I turned to Swift again and introduced, "This is my fiancée, the president of the New Heroic Guild, Jin Siqi. ”

"It turned out to be the lady's wife" Swift hurriedly returned the salute: "In Lower Swift, the Earl or something should not be said again, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." ”

Seeing that his attitude was so humble, Jin Siqi didn't know what to do for a while.

I smiled at her and said, "Then call Earl Swift." ”

"Just call me Swift" Swift said with a flattering face, "Otherwise, it will be too foreign." ”

I smiled and acquiesced.

After a few pleasantries, I looked at Swift's oily fat face and said, "Looking at the Earl's red face, I must have encountered something good recently, right?" ”

Swift nodded again and again, "Thanks to the help of the adults." ”

"Oh?" I wondered, "What did I carry you?" ”

"That's the ......," he said in a low voice, "the underground." ”

"Oh, that," I shook my head and laughed, "What's that for?" ”

Swift blinked and said in a low voice, "Because of that incident, Your Majesty Dayue has raised my knighthood to a higher level." ”

"Oh?" I wondered, "So, you're not an earl now, but a marquis?" ”

"My lord, my lord whispered, this must not be publicized!" Swift was so frightened that he was swishing in a cold sweat, and his clothes were soaked all at once, he looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and said: "My lord, you probably don't know about the classification of titles, between the earl and the marquis, there are several gears, I used to be the lowest level of the earl, and now I am mentioned in one gear, and I am still an earl." ”

"Well," I said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I don't know anything about knighthoods or anything." ”

"No, it's not my lord's fault, I didn't make it clear in advance" He hurriedly took the mistake on himself.

I smiled, didn't argue, and had a better impression of him.

I picked a lot of food and drink, brought it to the table, and gobbled it up with Jin Siqi, while listening to Earl Swift's incessant chatter about the past.

After listening for a while, I rinsed the food in my mouth with wine and asked, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, why did you come to Dasai City?" ”

When Swift heard this, his face immediately lit up, and he said excitedly: "This time, I have been summoned by His Majesty to come to the capital to receive a fiefdom. ”

I nodded, and then asked, "Where does Your Majesty plan to canonize the land for you?" ”

He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and lowered his voice and said, "Listening to the news revealed above, it is the land on the outskirts of the capital. ”

"On the outskirts of the capital?" I frowned and said, "It's just a piece of peripheral land, how can you be so happy?" ”

Swift's eyes widened, and he said with a serious face: "My lord, do you know that although the capital city does not look prosperous, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Yes, the so-called building near the water gets the moon first.

Living at the feet of the Son of Heaven gives you a better chance of being favored by the Son of Heaven.

I pondered for a moment, smiled, and said, "That's right, but listening to you, don't you plan to move your family to the outer city after being sealed?" ”

"My lord is too worried" He shook his head and said: "After all, there is still an official position in the next place, and he has not yet reached the age of Zhishi, so he will not lead his family to run to the fiefdom to enjoy Qingfu." ”

"Qingfu? Moving to live on the outskirts of the capital, I'm afraid you won't have many opportunities to enjoy Qingfu" I shook my head and said: "As you said before, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is not a place for people to enjoy happiness and rest. ”

"If you can really win your majesty's appreciation, what if you hand over your old life together," he said generously.

Immediately, he lowered his voice again and whispered: "That's to do things directly for Your Majesty, and to bless future generations!" ”

At this moment, a hearty laugh sounded not far away.

The tall and powerful, wise and martial orc king walked slowly in a formal suit.

With his sword eyebrows on his sideburns, every step he takes is extremely majestic, even if he is laughing loudly.

The surrounding people, when they saw the orc king coming, bowed down one after another to show respect, and even Jin Siqi, who had never participated in such an occasion, bowed down in a similar manner.

I got up slowly, bowed my head slightly, and said, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

The orc king waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, this is a banquet, relax and have fun, just let go of eating and drinking, it's boring to be too restrained." ”

And all the people answered and dispersed.

Only the Orc King, me, Jin Siqi, and Swift are here.

The Orc King glanced at Swift and said, "What you said just now is very good, and I am very pleased to have a courtier like you." ”

Swift was flattered, hurriedly got up and bowed his head, and said: "Swift, I am willing to break my body and bones for Your Majesty, go to the soup and fire, and never give up." ”

The orc king smiled slightly and said, "I remember this thought, if there is a real need for you to go to a place in the future, I will naturally summon you." ”

The corner of Swift's eye twitched imperceptibly.

I laughed secretly in my heart: I told you to be loyal without brains, now it's okay, you are remembered by the monarch, and you can't go if you want to go when the time comes.

The orc king didn't see his facial expression, waved his hand, drove him away, and then looked at Jin Siqi, who was sitting next to me, nervous, and said, "This is ......."

"She's my fiancée," I introduced, "the current president of the New Heroic Guild, Jin Siqi. ”

"Oh...... Oh! I remember," the orc king nodded, "I saw you together when I was in Balan. ”

"Yes, that's her" I smiled, suddenly felt my fingers tight, I turned my head slightly, glanced at her, and saw Jin Siqi's little face was pale, nervous, and her little hand grabbed my fingers helplessly, and pinched hard.

I really didn't expect that she would be so nervous when facing the Orc King, just like a normal ordinary girl.

Huh?

A normal ordinary girl?

Thinking of this, I was stunned at first, and then I was overjoyed: unexpected, simply unexpected! Among my fiancées, there are also normal ordinary girls!
