Chapter 35: The Trial
Mrs. Wen Li.
The person in charge of the current Count's Court of Morrell, the actual owner of the earldom.
Alan looked at the rumored woman from afar, and his heart was deep in thought. In his previous life, Alan was deeply rooted in the south, and when he focused his attention on the north, the beautiful lady in front of him, who looked to be only in her thirties, had already disappeared into the history of the Divine Grace Continent, and no one knew her whereabouts.
"What kind of person is this?" Alan was secretly curious in his heart, how much does the rebellion and return of the Morel family have to do with this countess in the future?
Mrs. Wen Li walked slowly down the steps, and several powerful men of the Morel family greeted her. Looking at the complicated expressions of several men, Alan smiled secretly, it seems that the struggle for power behind this Earl's Mansion is not simple.
"Thanks!"
The opening was simple, and the voice dragged on for a long time.
Mrs. Wen Li held a wine glass in her hand, her red lips opened lightly, and the word "thanks" was only spoken, and the banquet hall, which was originally quite noisy, suddenly fell silent.
If a thirty-year-old woman is just a female worker in a laundry, no matter how capable she is, no one will necessarily listen to her words. Similarly, even a person who has no ideas, standing on the high seat of the earl, and smiling lightly, can make countless people hold their breath and listen.
This is the power of power.
Behind an earl, there are legions, land, and money, which is why everyone is willing to pay attention.
"Thank you friends for visiting the Count's Court of Morrell, your presence has added a lot of vitality to the spring of Morel Manor."
Madame Wen Li's voice was very good, faintly carrying some majesty unique to the superiors.
Alan quickly got his own understanding of the earl in front of him: this is a shrewd strong woman. Only through continuous efforts and competition will it be possible to have such a temperament.
"The Morel family, as a member of the City of Gold, is delighted to be able to meet you this spring. For the common honor of the Golden City, let's raise a glass and drink this glass of wine together! Mrs. Wen Li's face was like a flower, and when she spoke, there was a hint of charm in the corners of her eyes, and she gently put the wine glass on her lips, and on her white neck, her throat slid slightly, and she took a sip of wine.
The banquet hall resounded with cheers, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly lively, and everyone drank the wine in their hands one after another.
"What do you think of this woman?" Odro drank his wine dry and asked Alan.
Allen's eyes were still looking at Mrs. Wen Li: "It's very mysterious, if you have the opportunity, you can learn about it." ”
"Oh." Odro said, "Brother Allen, your statement is very interesting, what do you mean by understanding?" ”
Alan smiled, his words were quite inappropriate, and the words "understand" were indeed inappropriate.
On the Divine Grace Continent, those who have the title of earl are basically the princes of one side, and in contrast, a warlock is a weak party. It is unreasonable for a low-ranking person to say that he wants to "get to know" the countess in a downward posture.
Of course, the main reason why Allen behaves like this is because Allen's thinking still follows the main line of the system, and when he first met every aborigine, the first thing that came to mind was how to attack the other party, so he would say something like "understand".
Alan recognized the problem in his words, and did not explain much, but only smiled wryly.
After a long time, he said: "This countess is afraid that she will not be happy in the Morel mansion. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The topic of Mrs. Wen Li was first aroused by Odero, and when Alan said this, the dwarf youth was a little curious.
"If you look closely, you will find that although several knights of the Morel family are very respectful to Mrs. Wen Li on the surface, they are secretly not careful, especially after Mrs. Wen Li toasts, some of them do not finish the wine. This is obviously a very rude thing to do. Alan said.
"Ahh Odro was very knowledgeable, and he quickly understood what Alan was going to say, "In other words, the disrespect of some people in this earl's palace to Madame Wen Li is already on the table?" “
"Perhaps." Alan said softly.
The two discussed the struggle for power in the Earl's Court, which was a very disrespectful thing in the castle of the parties. After a few words, he gradually stopped.
The dinner was still going on, and after the arrival of Mrs. Wen Li, the atmosphere of the scene was high again. Many barons, viscounts, and even grand knights in the Golden City took advantage of this rare opportunity to desperately want to talk to the Earl and solve the problems they encountered through various relationships.
It's just that the position next to the countess is like this, how can people who have nothing to do with it get close.
"Brother Allen, won't you come up and have a look?" Odro asked.
Alan smiled again: "What's the use of going up now?" The other person will not notice themselves. “
"That's just as well."
That being said, Alan is not standing stupidly and has been waiting for his moment. There is still a long way to go, and Alan believes that there will always be a chance to make a difference.
Just as the atmosphere of the dinner party was getting more and more enthusiastic, in the corner of the banquet hall, the blonde demon swordsman listened to the servant's report with a fierce face.
"Lord Jin Wei, the identity of that young man has been clarified, the young man's name is Allen, he is a warlock, and the giant wolf mount that many people said tonight is his."
Jin Wei listened to the servant's report and nodded coldly, a little warlock, dare to go against himself?
It stands to reason that the strength of the caster is much higher than that of the demon swordsman. It's just that in Jin Wei's eyes, in the first-order period, the warlock has no lethality at all, and his strength is not as good as the magic swordsman with superb swordsmanship. Is this Gna? The source of Jin Wei's self-confidence.
After Jin Wei was disdainful for a while, he asked again: "How is his strength?" “
The servant said, "It's not clear, no one has seen him fight." “
"Really? Hum. Isn't this man a former citizen of Raspar? Jin Wei raised an eyebrow and asked.
As a spellcaster, the warlock has a high status in Raspar, but the magic swordsman Jin Wei has never heard the name Allen.
"That's right, Lord Jinwei, I heard that this Mr. Warlock only came here about a month ago, and now lives in a knight's magic accessories shop in the south of the city."
"Okay, I know, you found out about this matter quickly, and I'll reward you when I go back."
"Then thank you, Lord Jinwei!" When the servant heard this, he left with a grin, but he could earn a reward for nothing, but he could earn a reward for nothing, which was quite good.
After the servant left, the magic swordsman Jin Wei stood alone for a while, his eyes searched the banquet hall for a long time, and finally saw the wonderful figure of Miss Daer, his heart moved, and when he looked again, this woman actually looked at the warlock named Alan with a rather expression, and her anger was even more difficult to contain.
"Gotta make you look good!" Jin Wei looked at Allen's figure for a long time, without any expression on his face.
At this moment, there was another commotion in the venue, and people began to speak.
"In order to thank everyone for their hard work tonight, they have come to attend the Spring Dinner of the Morel Family, and the Earl's Court has prepared a trial for all the warriors, and those who pass the test will surely receive a heavy reward." It was the Morel family's housekeeper, Avalo, who was in his 40s.
Hearing this, the Demon Swordsman Jin Wei's heart was shocked, and he rushed back to the Golden City from the Demon Swordsman Training Camp thousands of miles away, in order to test the Earl's Mansion tonight, with his own strength, as long as he played normally, it was not difficult to get the reward of the Earl's Palace.
Looking at Allen again, Jin Wei's heart was ruthless, he didn't dare to do anything, he must pull this person into the water.
As soon as Avalo's words came out, not only Jin Wei, but also many young professionals present. Some of the nobles who knew the news in advance showed eager expressions on their faces. In addition, some adventurers who had no idea about this also showed great interest at this time, waiting for Avalo to continue.
"The Earl's Court has recently arrested a group of water monsters that are doing evil, and now they are imprisoned in the lake in front of the castle, and the Countess hopes that someone can dive into the water and kill those annoying creatures for her, and for each water monster killed, the brave will be rewarded with 10 gold coins, and will be noticed by the Earl's Court!"
It turned out to be a water monster kill.
As soon as the words fell, Allen, who had been paying serious attention to the butler's words, showed a strange look on his face.
"How is it, Brother Alan is very interested in this test of the Earl's Court tonight?" Odro asked.
"Yes!" Alan said seriously.
Although Dai'er has never seen a water monster, these days, in the adventurer's guild, she has heard more or less about the power of this strange creature, and when she heard that Alan wanted to participate in the test, she said with concern: "Is Mr. Allen sure?" “
Alan looked at Dale, and saw one of the concerns in the little girl's eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little warm.
smiled: "Miss Dai'er, please rest assured, in fact, I have dealt with water monsters, so I have some confidence in my heart." “
Hearing this, Dale was originally a little nervous, but suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, but she secretly said in her heart, what happened to her, why did she know that Mr. Allen wanted to participate in the trial, her heart suddenly became nervous.
Alan was a shrewd person, and in just two sentences of dialogue, he had already sensed Miss Dale's intentions. So he said in more detail: "I once participated in a training and killed hundreds of water monsters, and I know their weaknesses. So, believe me, I will definitely be able to gain something from today's test. “
"Well, in that case, this trial seems to have been set up for Brother Allen." Odro was the first to rejoice.
"In that case, please come on, I believe you will definitely have a catch!" With a hint of tenderness, Dale whispered softly.
