Grant glanced at Catherina, his eyes full of unwillingness. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Catherine, who "belongs" to him.

Most of the young nobles' sons were able to pass the job change trial and become successful in becoming a job changer.

Others became mercenaries, but they were all rare. After all, in front of the altar of job transfer, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low, it still depends on personal talent. And these boys and girls present today are definitely the best in each family in terms of talent.

Grant is also a noble child, and he is also the first heir in the family, which can be described as a noble status.

What's even more rare is that he has the talent to become an Icewind Druid, which allows him not only to sit in the position of the first heir in line to the family, but also to represent the family in the circle of nobles. After all, having such potential is enough to be next to the round table where the nobles distribute benefits.

Of course, Grant was lucky, and he was destined to be able to obtain a matching spouse in the aristocratic hierarchy in the future. There were also some unlucky children of the nobility who had to put down their bodies and intermarry some commoner transferees in order to pursue the continuation of the talents of their descendants. In this way, their children can barely obtain the status of nobility, and at the same time, they have more chances of succeeding in changing careers - of course, this is all a helpless move of small families and low-ranking heirs.

Grant's "Three-Clawed Eagle" family is a large family, ranking in the top five in the Canduras Mountains. But unfortunately, there are no particularly outstanding female career transfers with the right age within the family, so the family has long been looking for a female candidate for Grant to marry in the future.

Catherina, one of their targets, has long been identified in Grant's mind as some kind of ...... "property" that belongs to him.

That's right, there is no equality between men and women, there is no human rights gift.

The aristocracy of this era still adhered to the concept of profit first, and regarded women as a traded commodity to make marriage contracts with others. Even if the daughter of the family reaches the level of a mercenary, she may not be able to escape the control of the family. Unless you really become a job changer, you can truly get rid of the shackles of secular identity.

Grant and the "three-clawed eagle" family behind him are moving with this in mind.

They valued Catherina's archery skills and talent, hoping to marry her in as a follower at Grant's side. It may sound good to say that followers are all good, but as long as they fail to become a genuine job changer, they are likely to be used as Grant's playthings, and even cannon fodder used to save their lives at critical moments!

If Catherine becomes a mercenary, she will still be able to gain some protection from the Sisterhood of Rog. But if she doesn't succeed in her transfer, she's still just a female militiaman...... Catherina was bent on following Ling Dan, and she did not have the belief that she would control her own destiny.

It is only when Catherina becomes a full-fledged Amazonite warrior that she is able to transcend her secular identity and enter a new social class, the class of converts. When you become a job changer, you have real freedom. Freedom, first and foremost, is built on strength. That's all there has been to the past.

Speaking of social class, after the invasion of Burning Hell, the social class pattern of human beings has changed greatly. Although the aristocracy of various places still expected to be able to control the upper social classes of this world, with the emergence of the exposition, this society gradually changed to a new form.

With the rise of the class of job changers and mercenaries, the turbulent human society has finally been able to stabilize and get a chance to breathe. The original feudal royal society gradually changed to a society of transferees whose personal strength was the criterion. In the new form of human society, hierarchy has become the standard of individual strength; Combat goods, such as equipment and potions, have become a new type of wealth.

It can be said that military power has surpassed the original royal power.

Especially in the Canduras region, where the royal family of Leoric no longer exists, which further accelerated the process of replacing the crown with military power. It was under this opportunity that the Sisters of the Blind Eyes rose with the ******** and replaced the original Leorik royal family in one fell swoop and became the real power in the Canduras region.

Although the Sisters of Rog have a large number of mercenaries and are strong overall, they have a rather fatal weakness: there are not many truly high-end professionals. Although the mercenary Rog is the most powerful at the moment, the number of future job changers will increase year by year, and the class led by the job changer will surely surpass the mercenary class again.

And the original aristocracy also sought a transformation in this game - turning the royal aristocracy into a military aristocracy.

Some clever aristocrats saw this, and through various ways of intermarriage and stimulating the potential of their offspring, they began a fundamental transformation from the nobility of the traditional royal society to the warlord-type group of converts.

The nobles were originally a minority compared to the commoners. They have long thought of a strategy to regain their dominant position in society - to win by quality. There are a few converts born from the civilian class, and there are more mercenaries. The aristocracy, on the other hand, has a relatively higher proportion of job changers.

In this case, the marriage between prospective transferees is even more worthy of attention.

This is the origin of today's drama.

Show off your family's power and compete for a quality mate.

It's a pity that Grant's original script was to be famous and famous, but as soon as he appeared, he planted a heel first.

Catherina didn't want the scene to be too ugly, so she said, "Grant, why are you still so reckless. Today, I am Ling Dan's female companion. ”

"Ling Dan?" Grant paused for a moment, "You are Ling Dan?" ”

Ling Dan shook his sleeves and smiled slightly: "Yes, it's exactly below." ”

Only then did Grant notice that Ling Dan and Catherina were also wearing royal blue dresses today, obviously coming together. And Ling Dan's name reminded Grant of some family secrets that he hadn't had time to read.

Even if Grant was no longer angry, he could not break the rules of the aristocratic dinner in front of Vince Carter—if an unmarried aristocratic lady had chosen a male companion before attending the dinner, it was natural that she should come first and come first, and no one else should invite her as his female companion.

The most important thing is that Ling Dan is a little fresh meat who is in the limelight right now, and the results he has created in just a few days are enough to show that he is by no means a person to be messed with-these are the freshest and hottest topics in the circle of noble children.

The legend is high, which is good, and the fame is definitely loud enough.

It's a pity that Grant has been practicing hard these days, and he happened to miss one or two urgent secret battle reports.

Grant doesn't feel like he's lost, and the recent hard work has given him a lot of confidence. Grant suddenly squeezed out a sinister smile: "I'm really sorry just now, I only have Catherina in my eyes, and I don't see Your Excellency." In order to apologize for my reckless behavior just now, I would like to ask Catherina to do a dance, I don't know your Excellency, would you like to play a little game with me? ”

"Making games?"

Under Catherina's explanation, Ling Dan understood.

There was another rule at the aristocratic banquets in Canduras: when a gentleman wanted to invite an unmarried lady to a dance, the lady was not allowed to refuse at will. If she doesn't want to, she can drop a handkerchief from the second floor of the ballroom, and whoever gets it can ask her to do a dance.

"Grab a handkerchief? How can you play like this? Ling Dan raised his eyebrows and looked at the blonde daredevils in front of him like a grass dog, "Are you sure you can grab it?" ”

Grant snorted coldly and raised his left hand. With a clear roar, a bald eagle appeared on his metal bracers, its sharp claws colliding with the metal bracers, making a crisp metallic scraping sound. Grant stroked the bald eagle and said contemptuously: "I heard that Your Excellency has a mutated summoning crow, I wonder who can grab the handkerchief first compared to me, a bald eagle who is also a mutated summoning unit?" ”

Vince Carter frowned slightly, and today's situation seemed to be a little out of control: "Grant, so you are waiting for me here?" is actually ready to take advantage of the situation like this, and you really have it. "Grant never said anything to Vince Carter about his intention to move to a druid. And at this moment, he suddenly came to prominence, obviously to take the opportunity of today's Byington family dinner to make a splash!

"Is he ready to change to a druid?"

"Mutated summoning crow skills! It turns out that Grant has also turned on his skills in advance, and he is still mutated! ”

"It's a bald eagle specially domesticated by the 'three-clawed eagle' Luo Peter family, but I didn't expect him to get a bald eagle soul!"

The scene became lively. There are also people who clink glasses in the air with Vince Carter at an inopportune time, and seem to be very fond of the "big play" he has arranged today. The most popular quasi-druid Lingdan, against the quasi-druid Grant, who has endured for many years.

This has evolved into a battle between druids in the eyes of the guests! Tonight's absolute drama!

McGrady looked at Vince Carter with some concern, the situation was clearly beyond his expectations. Vince Carter, however, turned a blind eye and asked Catherina with a smile: "Miss Catherina, according to etiquette, can you refuse?" The arrow had to be sent, and Vince Carter's face looked light.

Years of family education have given him a special ability to adapt politically. At this point, Vince Carter was quickly thinking about what kind of rhetoric should be used for each of the three outcomes of the game in order to turn things in the best direction for the Beatington family: "Who wins?" Who loses well? Or is it better to draw? "The Bedmington family, who are the hosts of the banquet, are qualified to be the judges of this competition no matter what.

Catherina smiled, took out her handkerchief, went directly to the second floor, stood in the middle of the second floor, and said, "You all stand back in front of the windowsills on both sides of the ballroom, and I will count three and start the game." During the match, both sides cannot move their feet, and can only rely on summoned units to grab handkerchiefs. Whoever summons my handkerchief first will be able to ask me to do a dance! ”

After saying that, Catherina didn't forget to send a flying kiss to Ling Dan's direction.

Ling Dan was also quite cooperative, holding his chest and pretending to be happy, and his superb acting skills caused the other guests around him to laugh non-stop.

And Ling Dan also received a new task:

"The side quest 'Girl's Heart' has been opened."

"Mission Goal: Capture Catherina's handkerchief and prove that she was absolutely right to choose the mighty you."

"Difficulty: C. Reward: +1 Destiny Points. ”

"Mission Failure Penalty: The fateful connection between you and Catherina may become ethereal......"

Ling Dan finally glanced at Vince Carter, and said with his eyes: "You just do it, you can make trouble!" It seems that if I don't show my hand today, you won't be able to sleep either? Then come on, master, I'll play with you! ”
