Rick smiled and said, "Hehe, my Natasha is discussing the mysteries of magic with Mentor Potter, I don't think I can come today, do you want me to send a servant to call Natasha over?" ”
Kent was in a cold sweat, who doesn't know that the dragon clan is the most irritable and greedy for money, let her come there to pay it back? "No need, hehe, since Miss Natasha and His Excellency the Archmage of Potter are discussing advanced magic, I think it's better not to disturb them, Lord Lord, please!" With that, Kent made a noble gesture of invitation and motioned for Rick to go first.
Rick is also not humble, this is the most basic etiquette among nobles, even if Robos has been in power for two years, he does not dare to be half slack, otherwise just a crime of contempt for the superior nobles is enough to make him unable to eat and walk around. You can scold and scorn as much as you want behind your back, but you can't do it in front of you, otherwise there is one more, a duel...... Quack, even if it was Rick 2 years ago, if you want to be single, you need the strength of an intermediate swordsman or an intermediate magician, but Kent's bloated figure wants to be a single Rick? Sweat......! (Now, as Natasha's adult reach the strength of a holy beast, Rick has risen several levels with the power of the contract.) )
The venue for the banquet was actually an original super-large villa-style restaurant, which was later pressured by Kent to the restaurant owner with the power of the deputy city lord, and finally sold it at the original price of up to 30% and changed it to the current private villa in Kent.
The first thing Rick entered was a hall of thousands of square meters, enough to accommodate the small number of nobles in Black Rock City.
However, when he saw the hundreds of nobles in the hall chatting and laughing in multiple circles in the hall, Rick was also surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that there were still many nobles in Black Rock City. Originally, he thought that after his dead ghost dad hiccuped, there shouldn't be many people left who would dare to stay in this chaotic Rammy Wasteland, right? They should all run to other safe county leaders, right?
And. Today's banquet was clearly not hastily set up in one day. It should have been arranged for several days to have such a neat scale, and I only pulled Natasha out yesterday, wasn't it for myself?
There was already a wave of anger in Rick's heart that began to burn up little by little, if it weren't for the fact that his strength had been relatively stable recently, it would not have been as strong as Natasha's strength suddenly exploded and it was difficult to control it when he first came a year ago, and now Rick was still able to stay calm, forcibly suppressing the contemptuous anger in his heart, and coldly glanced at Kent who was smiling happily in other directions next to him. He wanted to see what kind of party it was for......
"Lord Ramieshire, Lord of Black Rock City, Imperial Earl, Holy Dragon Knight, Lord Rick to ......"
As the waiter shouted a long list of titles, Rick officially stepped into the banquet hall, and the originally lively hall immediately fell silent, and everyone in the hall respectfully saluted Rick, who had been scolding his dead ghost father and stinky old man behind his back before ascending to the throne. Well, they're Holy Dragon Knight now, you know? That's called the strong!
"Oh. Hello, Honorable Lord. I've been caring for the elderly at home, and I haven't come to see you, I'm really ashamed, today I finally let me see the heroism of the lord again, it's really an honor for the old man! ”
The one who spoke was Lu Sefu, who was the oldest in the field now, had the highest title, had the title of marquis, had been a high-ranking official in the imperial capital, and now returned to his hometown to retire. Marquis of Lanyi.
Rick sneered in his heart: "You old guy came once except when I succeeded to the throne of lordship, when do you usually want to come and see me?" Still at home? Do you have to go to various banquets every day, and often go to the courtyard? (Reiwon, the most exclusive brothel in Black Rock City)
However, Rick said with a charming smile like a nobleman's signature on his face: "Lord Marquis, you are the most respected nobleman in the audience, how can you let you come to see me when you are young?" It should be the contemptible who came to visit you, if it weren't for the contemptible people's busy official business, the contemptible people would have wanted to come to meet the marquis a long time ago. ”
The posture is very low, but it is too hypocritical, who doesn't know that all the power in Black Rock City is basically concentrated in the hands of the deputy city lord Kent? But no one will say it to their faces, just take everyone's polite words and don't take them to heart.
After all, Rick is still young, only more than 16 years old, although he is already an adult at the age of 16 in the Kaya continent, and he has also learned enough of the hypocrisy when treating nobles in various YY novels, but after all, the experience is not enough, so he still chooses to try his best to block possible questions from others with the arrogance of high-ranking nobles, and avoid revealing his inexperienced feet when answering.
Rick, after declining Kent's continued company, walked alone to an inconspicuous place, ordered a glass of fruit wine (Kaya is like that), and drank it alone.
"The new commander of Fort Lear, the Count of the Empire, Mabel. His Excellency Malone to ......"
As the waiter shouted another list of titles, Rick finally understood who the original protagonist of today's ball was, and who was still the protagonist.
Mabel. Marlon, the eldest son of the Duke of Marlon's family, one of the three major families of the empire, even if he did not inherit the title of the family, he was born with the title of earl, and now it seems that this 28-year-old Mabel. The Earl of Malone had now become the commander of Fort Lear, and it was no wonder that Kent had to hold such a reception ball for him!
Rick isn't surprised now, this Mabel. Malone is not only the earl, but also the eldest son of the Malone family, with his status, if Rick did not expose Natasha before, it is estimated that people would not even look down on Rick, a count who can inherit the duke in the future and an earl who may have to step down from the lord's position the next day, it is not the same day at all.
However, there is one point, Rick is a little strange, Fort Lil is a fortress-like medium-sized city belonging to the Rami Wasteland* near the Black Sky Empire, basically based on garrisons, with 100,000 elite soldiers stationed in peacetime, and it is a front-line fortress to resist the Black Sky Empire, but this Fort Lil does not belong to the jurisdiction of Rami County, it is a city directly under the center, even if it is a weekday supply, it is also supplied from * near Fort Lil, the neighboring county of Rami County, Tiannan County.
Why didn't the new commander of Fort Lear go to Tiannan County today. And a detour from Ramie? What was the purpose of his visit to Ramie?
With Mabel. Malone's entrance hall. The crowd in the hall made another grand noble salute. Oh my god! Even Lysev. The old thing of Rani turned to Mabel regardless of his identity. Malone offered his affection, this old thing and Rick, the dragon knight, have never been so affectionate, the right is really a fascinating thing! Rick sighed in his heart......
Mabel, though. Malone just smiled and nodded to the crowd, and then walked towards Rick under the leadership of Kent.
Although Rick didn't want to associate with the Malone family, who had always wanted to seize his lordship, he had no choice but to take the initiative to come over, and Rick, who had received aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, had to stand up and greet Mabel hypocritically: "It's a pleasure to meet Your Excellency Count Mabel." Earl Rick in Lower Ramieshire. ”
Mabel smiled: "It is also a pleasure to meet His Excellency Earl Rick, I heard that Lord Count has recently become a holy dragon knight, and I congratulate you on behalf of the Malone family,"
Mabel's words were very polite, and they also hinted at the Marlon family's overtures to Rick.
Rick replied: "Thank you for your congratulations, and also on your appointment as the new commander of Fort Lear, and in the future the southern frontier of the empire will be protected by Your Excellency, and if there is a need for a despicable place, the Earl will do his best to ...... below."
The rest is not so complicated anymore. Since Mabel was the first to show overture, Rick also hinted at the overture. Both sides were satisfied with each other's intentions, and both sides were happy, and although the people of the Marlon family would scold Rick for his shit luck, it was better to turn the conflict into a jade silk than to go against a powerful dragon knight.
Rick doesn't have to worry about the Marlon family trying to seize his lordship all the time, and the Marlon family doesn't have to offend the new dragon knights.
The ball officially began with a friendly conversation between Rick and Mabel, and the rest of the story was boring, so there was no need to elaborate.
Back at the Lord's Mansion, Rick began his daily compulsory homework - practice, of course, not a wheel of wheels, but the Yu family's internal strength "Ba Yu Jue", a kind of positive internal strength. If on the earth, this kind of internal exercise can be regarded as an extremely superior internal exercise, and what is especially powerful is that this kind of exercise can be practiced to the extreme to break through the natural limits of human beings and achieve the Jindan Dao.
However, due to the increasing scarcity of aura on the earth, there has been no master of the Jindan Dao in the Yu family for hundreds of years, but due to the strong power of the family, there are still a lot of pills that can help improve internal strength. Rick's father, Tas, is cultivating the "Bayu Jue" with the help of the elixir, and at the age of 30, he broke through the Inner Dan period, and he can be regarded as a master in China, and after Tath came to the other world, because the aura of the Kaya continent is much thicker than that of the earth (although there are more magic elements), he broke through the Jindan Avenue in one fell swoop, and achieved the prestige of the Sky Swordsman of the Kaya Continent (equivalent to the strength of the Great Magus).
Kaya Continent's Career Level: Warriors can be divided into junior swordsmen, intermediate swordsmen, senior swordsmen, great swordsmen, earth swordsmen, sky swordsmen, sky swordsmen are considered to be the strongest swordsmen on the continent, and can be respected as holy swordsmen, and then although there are real swordsmen, divine swordsmen, they are already legendary swordsmen.
The same magicians are divided into: junior magicians, intermediate magicians, senior magicians, great magicians, magicians, great magicians, and the great magicians are considered to be the strongest storage zài of human beings on the continent, and then although there are real holy magicians, gods and demons, but they are already the legendary storage zài.
When the cultivation of internal strength reached the bottle path stage, I went to the Forbidden Demon Forest to find those holy beasts that had appeared
Although Rick completely mastered all the key techniques of the "Bayu Jue", he only passed it from his father, and he did not know that this was the highest level secret technique of the Yu family, and only the descendants of the family could learn it.
And Tarth probably thought that there was little hope of returning to Earth, and did not tell Sù Rick about the Yu family, thinking that this would allow Rick not to have to carry the burden of the family that may never go back, and let Rick live freely in the Kaya continent. (To be continued......)
