Chapter 393: Pete's Spring
Dongjian captures the warehouse of the Solo Peninsula! It was Gan Yuejing who promoted this force to lower the army, these people were all cultivated by the alliance, and they were all dead set on the alliance and Chen Jian, although their ability was still a little insufficient, but in the foreseeable future. These people will definitely become the mainstay of the alliance army, and at today's cocktail party, Chen Jian will naturally not forget these elites.
Colum and other surrendered generals and magicians Chen Jian are also vigorously enveloped, these people may have other ideas, but Chen Jian believes that he has a way to make them have a sense of belonging to the alliance and be loyal to himself, carrots and sticks have always been his favorite method, if any of these people have excellent ability, he doesn't mind promoting them.
By the time the reception began, it was already dark, and an open space in the castle was full of all kinds of carriages.
All kinds of people dressed up in the wide castle hall of Fort Mig, under the careful arrangement of the old butler, the originally solemn hall was full of luxury tonight, and on the dome of the hall, the fire of light cast by Temple himself made the hall as bright as day. The waiters shuttled through the crowd with fine wine and food, and these people were also carefully selected and practiced by the old housekeeper himself. Energetic, meticulous in action, polite in attitude, and well-behaved. It was very professional, but most of the guests were not so professional in comparison.
Colum has been widowed for a long time, today he did not bring a female companion, but brought his baby daughter who is in her twenties, for today, he is carefully prepared, not only the beard on his face is neatly trimmed, his hair is combed and shiny, but also specially ordered a new dress, his long and quite delicate daughter is also asked by him to dress up, and it looks dazzling.
To be honest, Krum was very surprised at this time, and it had been a long time since he surrendered. Of course, he learned that most of Lord Arthur's right-hand men were born commoners, and he also noticed that Lord Arthur was not a figure like Jeffrey or Castro who maintained an aristocratic demeanor, so he always thought that tonight's drinking party might be a bit nondescript. It's like the celebration reception that day.
But at this time, everything in the venue completely subverted his thoughts, except for the guests, this cocktail party can be called a model of an aristocratic cocktail party, whether it is the layout of the venue, or the taste of the food, or the thoughtful service, everything is impeccable, and the last celebration cocktail party is completely different. Inside and out, there is a luxurious atmosphere that can only be found in an aristocratic family.
This once again made him wonder about the origin of Master Arthur.
But this was clearly not the time to think about these questions, and Colum and his daughter walked towards a corner of the hall, for he saw tall Bruce whispering and laughing with a group of Master Arthur's henchmen.
Although he was defeated a little miserably under Lord Arthur, and surrender was also a last resort, but Colum was already determined to follow Lord Arthur at this time, Colum was actually good, decisive, and more ambitious, he was sure that he was not wrong, this only took a few months to sweep the Solo Peninsula, and the strength has not been fully revealed Lord Arthur will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future, follow him, and the future is immeasurable.
So after making sure that Lord Arthur had no intention of using himself as cannon fodder, Corum immediately burst out with 120,000 points of enthusiasm, fought bravely in the subsequent series of battles, made some contributions, and captured a small lord alive with his own hands, and performed quite well.
Coupled with his deliberate friendship, he and Bruce can now talk, but they need to fit into this new group. Making more Arthur henchmen like Bruce was important to him.
After noticing who the group of people who was with Bruce at this moment was, Colum was of course surprised and delighted. Half-elf Pete. The big-eared monster Orison, as well as the two humans who are fat and thin, in stark contrast, are all very close people to Lord Arthur, and from time to time Lord Arthur will be called to the castle to dine together, and the benefits of being able to talk to these people are naturally self-evident.
Not only Korum, but many of the newcomers who surrendered were secretly paying attention to this group of people who were quite low-key, but they couldn't keep a low profile because of their identity, and everyone didn't know why Master Arthur would reuse them, nor did they understand their origins, but their status was unquestionable.
I saw those officers under Lord Arthur's descendants keep walking to this small group of people. Respectfully and warmly greeted, the newcomers were red and helpless, no way, they were not familiar with each other, there was no introduction, it was really rude to rush to the past, after all, everyone had different identities.
So Corum's movements undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people, and they saw him talking to the Hulk in a relaxed and happy manner. and greeted the group of people one by one under the introduction of the Hulk, and everyone was very envious.
The arrival of Kedrak with his wife and Vikna also attracted everyone's attention, and the name of the elven clan is also well-known on the Solo Peninsula, not to mention, Kedrak is also a respected grandmaster, a grandmaster of archery.
Moriel's arrival brought the noise in the hall to a momentary halt, and the shadow of the famous tree of the human name. Everyone is in awe of this woman who is always majestic and concave and said that the mustard umbrella is an abnormal order, and today it is rare to know the distance from Zhejiang and know all the legends, of course, everyone will not miss the opportunity.
The dragon queen's rare appearance in costume made everyone a little distracted, and the faint smile on the dragon queen's face that was rare in front of people also caused everyone to whisper, the relationship between the dragon queen and Lord Arthur is ambiguous Many people know that in fact, the speculation about when Moriel and Lord Arthur got married has never stopped, and at the same time, everyone is for Lord Arthur to play ambiguously with the Dragon Queen and at the same time with another. The woman was shocked by the woman's blatant double entry, but what was even more incomprehensible was that it seemed that the arrogant dragon queen did not have any opinion on this.
For this reason, the image of Master Arthur in the hearts of everyone has become even more mysterious.
After arriving in the real place, Lord Arthur, the host of the reception and the only ruler of the Solo Peninsula today, did not appear immediately, but the atmosphere in the hall was quite warm.
No one wants to miss such an opportunity, and many people have begun to talk to Pete and others cheekily to introduce themselves, and others have become popular with everyone. Like Kedrak, like Kosai, like Antonio, etc.
There are very few people who dare to talk to Moryl. Moriel didn't care, she wasn't good at socializing, she preferred to stay quietly and watch the excitement rather than join it, she held one. The crystal goblet, standing quietly and indifferently somewhere, only occasionally sipping a small sip of wine, looks like a lonely and lonely thorny rose.
But many people noticed that her eyes drifted to a certain entrance of the hall from time to time, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
Another person also seemed out of place in this lively occasion, that was Vikna, the elven female spy was no stranger to such occasions, due to years of practice, she could even be said to be the most decent guest tonight, but she obviously did not have much affection for such an environment, because it would remind her of some bad memories, so she put on a look of indifference to the living, and then found an excuse to leave the lively Kedrak couple at this time. A man hid in some dark corner, silent.
And Pete, the half-elf, was a little lost at this time, because he found that his spring had come.
"You" Hello! Akane: "Miss Sissi. I don't know if I'm honored to do so. Would you like to dance, do a dance? With a simple sentence, Pete stammered several times before finally finishing it all, and sweat began to appear on his forehead.
In front of him, it was Krumu's baby daughter, a beautiful girl with brown hair.
Sissi's little face was already flushed red at this time, and she didn't dare to look at Pete with her head down. I was a little surprised in my heart. This young man, who was said to be half-elf, had made a considerable impression on her before. This one. The man is so good-looking, especially when there is a big-eared monster on the side to make a comparison.
It's just that she never expected it. This man will take the initiative to find himself and invite him to be his dance partner.
Sissi didn't have a good idea of the party, and she knew exactly what her father was thinking. But she didn't want to be a bargaining chip for her father to make friends with some big people, so she subconsciously didn't like such an occasion, and secretly decided to deliberately behave worse tonight.
But Pete's appearance was a surprise to the girl, this half-elf had a special temperament that she had seen before that the young nobles did not have, he looked so sunny, so full of vitality, not as pale and weak as other young nobles because of excessive wine, his face was full of confidence and pride, but not as arrogant as other young nobles.
This made Sissi have a crush on him.
But the contact between the two sides was not long, Korum was very measured in communication, after greeting everyone, he did not stop long, and after a few simple conversations with everyone, he left with Sissi, the reception had not officially started, and the time was still early.
This made Sissi a little regretful, and when she left, she couldn't help but look back at the other party, but she was surprised to find that the other party was also looking at her blankly.
Sissi lowered her head and thought about it, but she was happy but forgot to give the other party a reply, Pete saw that the girl was slow to speak, and the sweat on her head was even more.
Seeing this, Colum hurriedly coughed heavily on the side: "Sissi, you talk to Master Pete, I'll go over there to meet a friend!" ”
As soon as she was reminded by her father, Sissi came back to her senses, and hurriedly responded in a low voice, before she said to Pete: "My lord, I" I am very willing, it is my honor, but "It's just that the lord hasn't come out yet, the drinking party hasn't officially started, and now is not the time to dance."
Orison, Robert, Polly and others, who had been eavesdropping on the sidelines, saw the half-elf's panicked appearance because of these words, and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, and their image was greatly disillusioned. In addition to provoking everyone's sideways, it also provoked the old housekeeper's angry eyes.
At this time, Jian Chen, who was holding his arm by Temp, finally came to the castle hall. (To be continued)
