Chapter 44: Return to the Royal Capital

When he was in Fire Spirit Castle, Cecil resold the unused blood vials, this time the operation was really intense, and he didn't even have a chance to use these blood vials that had been slowly recovered, and in the end, he only had 80,000 gold coins left for buying and selling, which was really a loss-making deal, but there was no way, and both of them had no money left.

After walking for more than two months, the two finally saw the gate of the royal capital, and the two entered the south gate of the royal city side by side, and after entering the city gate, Anne was going to the mage's guild to meet her teacher Antonio, while Cecil was going to the Temple of Dawn to learn skills. The two of them were separated from each other, and Cecil had been with Anne for the past four or five months, and when they were separated, they didn't get used to it. Cecil himself couldn't laugh or cry at this feeling.

Cecil made his way to the Temple of Dawn, and the temple's mentors were taken aback. Half a year ago, Cecil was still a level 1 waste, but in just half a year, he could become a level 5 paladin, and this speed can be said to be very amazing. The Paladin Mentors looked around Cecil like a monster, trying to find out the secret of his rapid growth from him.

If these mentors knew that Cecil's true strength was actually far more than the strength of level 50, I am afraid that they would all faint, and it was probably something that the temple had never seen before for a paladin to grow into this within half a year.

Cecil came to the idol to pray, and as soon as the system prompt rang, Cecil learned the four skills that should be learned at level forty and level fifty

System Prompt: Congratulations on learning "Rapid Aura"

System prompt: Congratulations on learning "Never Extinguish the Light"

System Prompt: Congratulations on learning "Endurance Aura"

System Prompt: Congratulations on learning the "Hammer of Glory"

Undendable Light: Actively launches a holy fire attack, and the attack power is positively correlated with your strength attribute. It will cause a temporary decrease in the opponent's attack defense, and the degree of decline is positively correlated with mental attributes, and the CD time is 15 seconds, which can be reduced as the proficiency increases.

Brilliant Hammer: Sends out a powerful attack, which is related to the user's strength and mental attributes, and is powerful, with a CD time of 30 seconds.

Haste Aura: Increases paladin's movement speed by 15%, consumes 10 mana per second when activated, and has an area of effect of 30 meters.

Endurance Aura: Restores paladin's physical strength by 2 points per second, consumes 10 mana points per second after opening, and affects a range of 30 meters.

Since getting the inheritance of Shawrak, each of Cecil's skills can be increased by 50%, and the skills of the Hammer of Glory and the Immortal Light are relatively vague, only related to attributes, and not as intuitive as the previous skills, but these skills Cecil is actually very familiar, because he was also a level 59 paladin user before entering this game world.

According to his memory, both of these skills have their own merits, the damage of the unextinguishable light is not high, the important thing is the incidental damage, and the hammer of brilliance is an active skill with extremely high attack power, just look at this 30 seconds long CD and the skill has no proficiency to know that he is a powerful skill that can't shorten the CD.

As for the two aura skills, Cecil continues to have a rapid aura, and with this aura, Cecil's movement speed can be increased by 22.5%, and such a terrifying movement speed is almost unmatched before the Holy Order. As for the endurance aura, it is not commonly used, because Cecil has always had more physical strength as a paladin. However, with the blessing of Shawak's inheritance, it has become 3 points of physical strength per second.

After learning the skills, Cecil went to greet the Grand Priest Alonso, and by the way, to see if the Grand Priest had the condition of his master Collins, Alonso said that he was very pleased with Cecil's recent growth, and said that Collins had traveled and he did not know about him. Cecil's heart was gloomy, since the Great Priest had no news of his mentor, it seemed that he had indeed carried out his own cultivation, and he would never appear in people's sight again if he did not break through to the Holy Rank.

In addition to the Temple of Dawn, Cecil finally returned to his home, he had just arrived at the door of the house The old butler of Acater and the maid of Asan had already greeted him, Cecil went out on this trip for four months and did not come back, in the eyes of this old butler, his young master has grown up under his gaze since he was a child, and he has never been so far away from himself, this time he was not at home for four months, and he was also very worried, and Acater reported to Cecil that Sanders, who came back a few days ago, had come to live in his home, In the past two days, I basically went to the Earth Temple every day to study. A picture to cheer up.

It was already past noon after eating the meal cooked by Yashan, Cecil remembered that he had not yet reported the news of his return to Count Cassikud, so he left for the Earl's Palace, the Count had just had lunch, and received Cecil with great interest, and the Count also specifically inquired about Anne's inheritance assessment, and the Count also knew a little bit about this matter, Cecil didn't want to expose Sandru's affairs, after all, it was a bit taboo to cooperate with a necromancer, so he perfunctory the Earl said a few words, and the Count didn't care too much.

The Count once again expressed his gratitude to Cecil, the body of the deceased legendary hero Marquis Cassicud has been relocated to the most honorable part of the cemetery of the Count family of the royal capital, and the Count once again apologized to Cecil, because this time Cecil did make a great contribution, but he could not get the reward of the title, and the Count could only give Cecil a manor from his own territory, Cecil was originally a knight lord with only one manor, and now the Count gave him another one, which is equal to doubling the territory.

Cecil thanked the Earl, in fact, he wanted to ask the Count about the legendary assassin who killed Henry in Wharton, but Cecil also understood the reason why curiosity kills cats, and knew that too much is sometimes not a good thing, so he finally restrained his curiosity, and just as Cecil was about to leave, the Count told his daughter Ophelina that he had something to ask him for help.

Cecil was stunned for a moment, Ophelina asked him for help, he was a little surprised, I really didn't know what the earl's eldest lady was looking for her. Leaving the Count's room, Cecil went to the back garden of the Count's Palace, where the Count's young lady, Ophelina, was waiting for him in the flower gallery in the back garden.

Ophelia wore an apricot-yellow dress today, with pale cyan lace and long blond hair. He was glad to see Cecil coming, and at once let him sit at a small table in the garden

"Cecil, you're here, it's good that I have something to look for you." Ophelina said happily.

"I wonder what the Countess is looking for me?" Cecil replied.

Ophelina stroked her hair, looking very charming, and said with a smile: "I am going to a banquet tonight, this banquet is relatively large, so I need a knight, and few of my father's knights are my age. So I want to take you there. ”

Cecil was obviously a little surprised when he heard this, the so-called knight of Suihu said it better, but in fact he was standing guard, accompanying the master to the banquet, and then protecting the master's safety on the side, and then sending the master back. It is said that there is nothing wrong with this matter, Cecil is indeed a knight of Count Cassikud's retinue in terms of attribution, since Miss Countess has such a request, Cecil should do it.

However, the soul in Cecil's body was a modern person after all, and he was actually disgusted by this kind of groveling servant life from the bottom of his heart, and as soon as he heard Ophelina's words, his face suddenly showed an unhappy look.

Ophelina noticed the change in Cecil's expression, but she obviously didn't understand why Cecil was unhappy or even resisted by this matter, in her opinion, this matter did not damage Cecil's dignity, on the contrary, being able to participate in this kind of high-society activity was actually a high recognition of the master's requirement, especially in this scene tonight. So when she saw Cecil's unhappy expression, Ophelina was very puzzled.

Cecil noticed Ophelina's puzzled expression, and Cecil was also helpless, he knew that he and the eldest lady had once again had a disagreement on a matter, and Cecil had had this disagreement with the eldest lady several times since he met this eldest lady.

In fact, it can't be said that anyone is wrong, but the starting point of the two parties' views on things is different, Cecil always looks at a matter from an emotional point of view, while Ophelina is more calm and always looks at the matter from a rational point of view. In fact, both sides make sense, but the contradiction caused by the collision of these two worldviews makes Cecil feel very uncomfortable.

Cecil actually has a good impression of this beautiful, generous, lively and intelligent woman, but because of this conceptual contradiction, he has been very opinionated on this woman several times, and there is no doubt that although this woman is extremely smart, she is not considerate of the feelings of those who are inferior, so Cecil inexplicably hurt his sensitive self-esteem in this situation.

However, Cecil slandered and slandered, but there was no reason to refuse Ophelina's proposal, and it was reasonable for Ophelina to explicitly ask Cecil to do so, and even Ophelina thought that there was nothing wrong with her, which was also a rare opportunity for Cecil to see high society. And Cecil himself thinks there's nothing wrong with seeing it. So after hesitating for a moment, Cecil made a knightly salute and agreed to Ophelina's request.

Ophelina was obviously very happy, and directly asked Cecil to rest at the Earl's Palace, and then set off from the Earl's Court with her in the evening for a banquet.
