Nesserian City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The last rays of the sun vanished below the horizon, and night fell.

The lamps began to burn, and the dark king was shrouded in the light of the torches.

Castles, streets, churches, bars, palaces and other public places are lit by candles or oil lamps made from containers filled with animal oil or pine resin, as well as torches dipped in animal fat and pine resin.

And tonight, the fuel used has become more and more than the royal city, and the number of troops on guard is also on a scale that is not usually seen.

When it was dark, the royal capital did not become quiet, but on the contrary, the people became more and more excited, and they flocked to the central square outside the castle, waiting for the celebratory holy scriptures.

In the summer, for the people of the Kingdom of Luolan, the most exciting part - the Valkyrie Martial Festival.

Unlike the original martial arts festivals used in all summer festivals, the original martial arts festivals were performed on top of the rituals in which people showed their martial prowess to everyone to show the power of human beings when they conquered nature.

In the Kingdom of Loran, a country blessed by the goddess of war Aditya, the Valkyrie Martial Festival is a martial arts festival by many female warriors who show their martial arts that are not inferior to men, and the final winner will be rewarded and blessed under the gaze of the holy daughter of the goddess of war, Aditya, with the addition of the clergy, this martial festival that originally belonged to the commoners, but also has a completely different meaning.

For the nobles of other countries, the martial arts festival was not only a part of the festival, but also a stage for the nobles to exert their influence and indirectly fight each other.

Forced by the rules between the aristocracy of the kingdom, in fact, few nobles are willing to fight each other, this is a provocation, but also a risky behavior, like Visser, who directly provokes other nobles, is rare, because the use of noble status to provoke means that you need to fight yourself.

For the nobles, this kind of battle is very barbaric, and because of this, the victory or defeat of the martial sacrifice has become the venue for their "indirect conquest", in the name of the sacrifice, the nobles can, these battles that should be carried out under the table, can not see the light of day on the table, and carry out a righteous and bright "battle", these self-respecting nobles themselves will not end, but they can let their subordinates play, defeat the opponent's subordinates and win.

In this way, although they could not gain substantial benefits from this struggle, they could slap the face of the rival family, which was a very cost-effective deal for the nobles with good faces.

And in the kingdom of Loran, there is only the "martial sacrifice of the Valkyrie", and the civilians at the bottom do not know that their kingdom of Strands has essentially perished, and the current queen Loran. Stellan, the Holy Maiden of the Church of the Goddess of War.

And the saint is a girl who has lived her faith all her life can serve.

In essence, the Kingdom of Loland is already a theocracy, which is one of the reasons why many nobles are dissatisfied with Queen Loland.

How could the aristocracy really want to put theocracy above their heads?

However, these are not relevant to the common people, they do not care about these things, for them, as long as they can enjoy the carnival is enough, as for the rest of the questions, let the priests of the church and the old men above think about it.

"This damn civilian."

Young Roddy. Count Xiudman stepped out of the carriage, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and looked viciously at the dense crowd of civilians around the central square with disgruntled eyes.

Although it is said that with the climate of Loraine, even summer can be regarded as cool, but seeing the crowd of people pressed and densely packed together, it will also make people feel that they lose their coolness, and only dry heat remains.

As an earl, Roddy. Naturally, Hudman could not turn a blind eye.

Although he is currently an earl and has his own countydom, this does not mean that he can be free to do so.

As an earl promoted by Queen Lorraine, even if he did not understand that his wife Fili. Penny, shouldn't be called "Fili. Hudman", the Countess of Hudman really understands very well what kind of deeds her husband should have.

He is not yet capable of standing on his own feet, and everything about him now depends entirely on Queen Loraine's attitude.

In particular, the last time Queen Lorraine recognized Baron Ludy and Visser. After the effect of Hudman's duel was enforced, the queen's attitude was their priority.

If he wasn't the Count of Hudman, but just an ordinary member of the Hudmann family, he wouldn't have been able to sit in his current position, and he wouldn't have been able to wear such decent clothes and sit in such a carriage.

Count Roddy stepped out of the carriage, stretched out his hand, and greeted his wife.

And after Countess Fili got out of the car, she looked at the crowd of people under the black pressure and snorted coldly.

"What a bunch of inferior pariahs."

The attendant next to him hurriedly followed:

"Yes, they are a bunch of inferior pariahs."

The attendant stared at the crowd of black oppressors, completely forgetting that he had been like these people back then, and during ordinary martial festivals, he also gathered around the perimeter of the square, watching the fights within, with envy, excitement, and bloodthirsty eyes, cheering for the victorious side and laughing at the hapless losers.

"Maybe it's time for us to get to the seats." Count Roddy said suddenly.

Hearing this, his wife straightened her clothes, and then she took her husband's arm, smiled passionately but hypocritically, and followed Roddy to the nobleman's seat.

Then, the two of them saw Andy Rees. Marquis de Derico.

"Your Excellency Andyris, it's been a long time, oops, I didn't expect to see you here, you're still so strong and handsome........."

Listening to his wife's flattering language to the other party, even if Luo Di knew that the elegant middle-aged man in front of him had a higher title than himself, and because of his blood brother, if something happened to him, Visser was likely to replace him in the end and become the earl of Xiudeman, for the future, Luo Di also knew that he needed to deal with this marquis.

Therefore, in the face of the Marquis of Andiris in front of him, Luo Di did not show a dissatisfied expression, and even a little lucky, this is the world of nobles, and bloodline is higher than everything.

Even if there is no talent, as long as the blood of the family is flowing, then for the family, it will always be more trustworthy than outsiders, not to mention that this Marquis of Andiris is by no means incompetent.

"Well, it's just a little worse than me." Roddy said in his heart.

Fili suggested that what I have to do now is to try to build a good relationship with the other party, even if there is something in the end, as long as I can still be in the position of this earl, it is much better than becoming a baron again.

"Hello, Mr. Roddy."

Seeing the inexplicable sense of superiority in the eyes of the young man in front of him, Andiris was just a little weird and funny in his heart, but his face was very calm, and there was no major change.

In fact, starting from a squire with aristocratic blood, as the deputy of the Grand Duke, he obtained the marquis after half a lifetime of hard work, and he has a very thorough understanding of the psychology of these young people, and he is much higher than this young man in terms of title, and he has encountered far more things than this young man.

Of course, as a qualified nobleman, with the inexplicable arrogance of this young man, it is impossible for him to get any help from himself.

"I didn't expect that in such a hot weather, you came out on a special trip, it's really hard for you."

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, this is a beautiful summer festival, a group of lovely girls, waving long swords on the field to show their beauty and strength on the stage, I am very happy, what about you, beautiful Lady Fili and Mr. Roddy."

Andy Rees raised his eyebrows elegantly, smiled and shook Filip's hand "gently", responding to the other party's words.

"Hee-hee, this is an annual midsummer festival, how can we not show up? H.E. Andy Rees...... Speaking of which, last year's summer festival was really lively, and this year must be very lively.........

As they spoke, the three of them walked towards the noble seat with a thought of it.

Roddy subconsciously raised his head according to Fili's "suggestion", and looked around for "reliable allies" on the noble seat, looking for the familiar noble figure he had seen with his father.

However, when he saw the slender figure in a certain position, he was stunned.

It was a beautiful and charming girl with long silver-white hair and a snow-white skirt, and she just stood up and passed by her in the aisle like a fawn.

The young Earl of Roddy retracted his gaze with some reluctance, and looked at where the girl had come out.

"Visser....."

At this moment, a slender aristocratic man was sitting quietly in his chair, leisurely sipping the black tea handed over by the two maids beside him.

The pair of beautiful and lovely maids, dressed in black and white and with gold and silver hair, were standing behind him, whispering something.

At the side of his brother, Visser, who made him gnash his teeth, a little girl with long pale green hair and wearing a long aristocratic dress was sitting quietly, sucking tea with him, even if it was just sitting there, without any movement, this group had an overwhelming presence.

Whether it is a commoner or a nobleman, after entering the square, they will be immediately attracted to them at first sight, of course, how many people will come back to their senses after that is another matter.

Roddy was furious in his heart: "Visser!! ”
