Chapter 31: Mounts
In the Morel Forest Estate.
This was the first time that Allen had attended a gathering of nobles before the troubled times. In the face of the luxury in front of him, Rao is Allen is well-informed, and he can't help but feel a little surprised. In the evening, the outside of the manor was as bright as day, and the torches were made of fine pine resin, and several towering castles, located on the shore of the lake, were like several chess pieces falling from heaven and earth to mortal dust.
The contest of strength between the nobles and the nobles began with the arrival at the Morel Manor.
Mount competition.
The magic pets of the mages, the various earthly monsters of the warriors, and the good horses of the knights fill the animal pens of the manor.
The animal trainers who came with the nobles gathered in a courtyard not far from the animal pen, eating good wine and meat, and in the eyes of this group of strong men who dealt with mounts all day long, the quality of the mounts determined a person's status.
"Look, it's actually an earth-walking dragon, oh my God, this guy is three meters tall." A member of the baron's family looked in amazement at the giant beast that had been sent into the pens. The dragon was all red, his skin was covered with a layer of hard armor, and his gaze was a little terrifying.
"I don't know. He didn't even know Kaidon's Earth Dragon. “
The baron's entourage was embarrassed for a while, but his heart was beating very fast, it turned out to be the mount of the dragon knight Cayton, no wonder it was so powerful.
"Look, Snow Green Horse!" One of the grooms shouted.
"What? Snow Green Horse! "There is a riot in the courtyard again, this snow green horse is a nobleman in the northland, and he travels thousands of miles a day on the snow, and his breath turns into ice! It is said that a juvenile snow green horse costs 30,000 gold coins. A big knight lord in a small town may not be able to make so much money in a year!
"I don't know who the owner of this snow green horse is, you look at the fat on the horse, its hair is ......" A middle-aged entourage who has raised horses for more than ten years showed a look of envy in his eyes, if his own adults can buy a snow green horse, he can also stand up in the horse breeding circle!
At this moment, Alan had already reached the top of the manor and jumped off the giant wolf. Walking to the carriage, he politely lifted the curtain on Miss Dai'er's carriage and said, "We are here, Miss Dai'er come down." “
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of hands as white as snow and fingers like condensing jade stretched out and placed them in Allen's palm, and soon, the figure of the owner of these beautiful hands appeared in front of Allen.
Dai Er was wearing a beautiful spring women's dress today, tightly wrapping her delicate figure, and when she leaned out of the carriage, she lowered her head, and the proud snow white on her chest was presented in front of Alan without reservation.
"What delicate skin!" Alan could feel his heart pounding.
Although Miss Daile quickly got out of the carriage, the rush of spring light still caused Alan to have some kind of strange reaction.
Alan was still holding Dai'er's hand, feeling the warmth of the girl's palm, but his heart was beating wildly, what was wrong with him, shouldn't he have been calm about the affairs of men and women? Hey, it seems that my current body is still too young, and my blood is strong.
Having said that, Alan didn't think much about it, the desire for a young woman's beautiful body is a manifestation that every man will have, too entangled, but confused. The warlock boy quickly pushed the superfluous thoughts out of his mind. With a smile, he led Dai'er and continued to walk towards the manor.
Since Dale stepped out of the carriage, her hand has been held by Alan, and the young girl can feel the reasonable strength of the other party in her hand. As the male companion he invited, it was a matter of etiquette to take his hand all the way into the manor, and Miss Daile followed Alan silently with a smile.
Occasionally talking in Alan's ear, exhaling like an orchid, a warm breath burrowed into Alan's ears, and Dale found that whenever she did this, Eren would have a very peculiar tremor on her body. It seems that this Mr. Warlock, who always seems to be very calm, also has weaknesses.
The unexpected discovery made Miss Daile very excited. Alan was afraid that someone would speak in his ear, and Dale wanted to do it, thinking it would be funny.
How could a beautiful girl know how tormenting it was for a boy. If it weren't for Allen's original determination, it is likely that he would have pushed this girl down in minutes.
"I really didn't expect this little girl to have such a naughty side." Alan felt helpless. His body is only about twelve years old now, and he is as tall as the twenty-year-old girl Daer, both of whom are 169 centimeters.
Eren is a half-elf, and his pointed ears are one of the most sensitive places on his body, but this little girl keeps blowing warm breath into Alan's ears. Many times, Alan felt that the beast nature in his heart was about to burst out, and he would correct this girl on the spot. But the will and politeness made Alan hold back, and he could only secretly cry out in his heart, hoping that the little girl would stop quickly.
Continue walking as if nothing happened.
……
Just as Alan and the others were slowly walking towards the castle, there was another commotion in the courtyard by the animal pen.
"Look, wolf! A giant wolf raised by orcs! “
In front of the animal pen, a giant wolf as tall as a horse, with dark blue hair and fierce eyes, slowly paced under the guidance of the animal trainer, and walked in front of a noble entourage.
"Oh my God, what an elegant step!"
"It is said that the giant wolf is the best mount in the northern snow, and this is true!"
"A man's mount!"
It was surprising that there was a rare sound of unanimous praise in the courtyard. You know, this is a group of guys who have been dealing with various mounts all year round, and pickiness has long been a habit, and it is not easy to get their praise.
Just as everyone was paying attention, the blue giant wolf walked slowly to the edge of the beast pen, passed by the side of the earth dragon, and glanced at it coldly. The big guy lying on the ground seemed to feel the attention of the giant wolf, opened his eyes, and looked at it coldly. But he saw that the giant wolf raised his proud head and nodded to the earth dragon.
Mounts, are spiritual, especially wolves. has been with Allen for so long, and under Allen's careful cultivation, the current giant wolf leader is no longer a guy who can be controlled by summoning imps, and faintly, he has the posture of a wolf king.
Shocked!
"Is this a provocation?" A young coachman exclaimed.
"Idiot, this is a greeting between strong mounts, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
The dragon looked at the giant wolf outside the beast pen, and let out a low voice from his mouth, and let out a long hum...... I nodded too.
Sure enough, it's a greeting!
"Oh my God, this Earth Dragon actually returned the salute, if I'm not mistaken, this guy didn't even look at it when the other mounts walked by. And a lot of mounts shiver as they walk past it! “
"Great, giant wolf. It's really a pure man's mount! “
"I heard that a warlock came to the south of the city recently, he is not very old, and he is riding an orc giant wolf, I don't know if this mount is his ......"
"Who cares about him, if only I had a giant wolf like this, this life is not in vain!"
The courtyard suddenly became lively.
It is said that the mount shows its identity. Although it was said that no matter who the owner of the mount was, many old followers also knew that it was probably not easy for someone who could subdue the giant wolf, and of course this matter needed to be reported to their own nobles.
As a result, in just a short period of time, Allen's reputation has spread among some nobles.
The coachmen's blood was boiling, as if the giant wolf had been surrendered by themselves, and their hearts were full of heroism, and they drank happily on the topic.
……
Meanwhile, Alan and Dale enter the castle.
The smiling teenager obviously didn't realize that his mount would attract the attention and discussion of others.
It's early spring, and although many plants have sprouted, the weather is still cold. As soon as Alan walked into the castle, he felt a light in front of him, and his body was gently surrounded by a warm breath.
"A geothermal system made of underground lava?" Allen's heart moved, in the Divine Grace Continent, this is a great project, and it can't be done without the cost of 100,000 gold coins. In addition to being surprised, Alan has a deeper understanding of the true strength of the Morel family.
"Mr. Allen, what are you thinking?" Miss Dale's voice rang in Alan's ears.
There was an extremely slight tremor on Allen's body, and he secretly said that the ears of this half-elf were too sensitive, it was really terrible!
"Nothing, just surprised by the warmth here." Alan Dao.
Dale took Allen's arm: "It's really warm." “
Shielding warrior Cassidy? With a sweet smile on her face, Dale looked at everything in front of her, and the castle of Morel was already full of people, and nobles and men dressed gorgeously walked by from time to time. For many people, it was a great thing to be able to receive an invitation from the Earl's house.
In the spacious hall, which covers an area of more than one acre, there are many tables with silver candles lit on the tables, and the light spreads. Matsutake mushrooms, goose meat, deer legs, quart, and a variety of delicate pastries.
"Actually, I'm a little nervous, Mr. Allen." Dale held Allen's arm tightly, "This is the first time I've attended such an aristocratic gathering, and I don't know what to do. “
"Really?" Hearing this, Alan was slightly surprised.
"Until the mercenary group was formed, Daile followed her father on adventures everywhere." As she walked, the little girl whispered, "It was not until these two years that my father left me alone in the city of Raspaar." Hey, what's so good here. “
I see.
After entering the hall, Alan noticed that Miss Dale was walking more and more slowly, and she began to observe the movements of everyone around her, as if she was very worried about what she was doing badly and not in line with etiquette.
It's exactly the same as when Alan first attended a gathering of nobles.
Flustered, not only caring about others, always feeling as if everyone is observing themselves, afraid of making a fool of themselves, not daring to walk more, not daring to speak, others take the initiative to talk, but also only smiling slightly, worried that people will know that they have never been to such an occasion, and they don't even dare to eat anything.
Because of such an experience, when there was a little panic in Dale's eyes, Allen silently felt a trace of distress in his heart, and immediately understood the concerns in the little girl's heart.
"Don't worry, I'm here." Alan said softly.
