Rollin went to the Lord's Castle with Langdon, and along the way, he was silent, his brow was always furrowed, and he was a completely different person from before.

"Hey, Rollin, what's going on?" Langdon couldn't help but ask, he had endured it for two days, and it wasn't until today that Rollin spoke.

"Oh, it's fine." Rollin replied casually.

"You seem to have suffered a heavy blow, I'm a person from the past. The way you look now is the same as when I lost Lena. "Langdon isn't easy to fool.

“…… I don't want to say. ”

"Well, whatever you want. But I still have to say more, you have a great future, women are everywhere, there is no need to ......"

"Can you put down Liana?" Rollin interrupted Langdon.

Langdon was immediately silent, and for a long time, he patted Rollin on the shoulder and sighed: "When others used this sentence to comfort me, I didn't feel it at all, there is always such a person in this world who can make you do your best for her." Okay, don't keep thinking about it, time will dilute and it will get better. ”

"Well, maybe." Rollin nodded.

At this time, they took the carriage and turned to the garden road in front of the lord city ~ the fort, which was already very, very lively, on both sides of the avenue, there were a bunch of big bonfires at intervals, men and women were strolling on the side of the street, or dancing by the bonfire, and the festive atmosphere was strong.

The carriage did not stop. Because they are the lord's guests. The destination is the castle inner garden.

Several thick walls were passed in succession. Suddenly there was a large garden in front of it, and in the middle of the garden lawn there was still a bonfire, the flames of which were nearly ten meters high, and the heat it emitted could be felt from afar.

Compared to the outside of the castle, the people who walked around the lawn were much more reserved, and they were all gentlemen and celebrities, dressed in elaborate and luxurious gowns. Holding a crystal cup in one hand and a young and beautiful female companion in the other, they talked politely.

"Oh, Rollin, what a mistake, we should have brought the pretty girl too." Langdon sighed, the two of them got out of the same carriage, what was it.

Rollin didn't respond, he didn't seem to hear Langdon at all, his eyes kept looking out the window at the parking lot. Over there. A low-profile carriage had just stopped and the doors opened. Vianna and Davi stepped out of the car.

Rollin's gaze was completely captivated, his eyes were only on Vianna, and he was deaf to everything around him.

Vianna saw him too, but she just glanced at it and then turned her gaze, and the look was like looking at a stranger, and Rollin's heart twitched so hard that she could barely breathe.

"How could she not react at all? Do you really hate me? Rollin was terrified.

Langdon soon realized that something was wrong, turned his head to look along Rollin's line of sight, and couldn't help but laugh: "Look, isn't that Davi?" She's the one you want, right? Are you having a mess? ”

He had thought so for a long time, and now looking at Luo Lin's gaze, it should not be wrong. As for Archmage Vianna, he couldn't even think of it.

Luo Lin was awakened, retracted his gaze, and smiled noncommittally bitterly: "Let's go, the lord is coming soon." ”

The two got out of the car and, like everyone else, waited on the lawn.

About twenty minutes later, the Lord of Primor, dressed in full costume, appeared on the wide balcony on the second floor of the castle as scheduled, and laughed and said, "Ah, my friends, welcome to my castle. I declare that the Midsummer Ball is on, and everyone has a good party. ”

Immediately the music played, and the guests on the lawn began to dance around the big campfire. If you don't find a dance partner, you just sit at the table next to you and enjoy your food.

Naturally, Rollin didn't look for a dance partner, he didn't know how to dance, and he didn't have the heart to learn. Langdon didn't know where to go, Rollin didn't pay attention to him, he found a corner, and poured himself a glass of wine, all of which were dry, just like drinking water.

In just a few moments, he drank a bottle of high-alcohol coconut wine.

Of course, one bottle was not enough, and he didn't feel it at all, so he asked the waiter to take another bottle and began to drink it again, and I don't know how long it was, when Rollin opened the fourth bottle, a voice sounded in his ears: "Oh, my friend, you look very unhappy." ”

Rollin looked up and saw that it was Bernard, dressed in a delicate black dress, holding a wine glass in his hand, and followed by a blonde stunner, looking very chic.

"Oh, it's you." Rollin replied casually.

Bernard whispered a few words to his female companion, sent the other party away, and then sat down opposite Rollin, and asked with a smile: "Aren't you here to drink?" ”

Luo Lin was stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, what is he doing here? Who is it to show so sad? This will only make people look down.

Thinking of this, Luo Lin perked up, and a smile appeared on his face: "Haha, you are really right, this wine is rare, I haven't drunk it, so I drank more." ”

Bernard is a shrewd person, of course he can see that Rollin has something on his mind, but the other party is not ready to say it, and he will not get to the bottom of it, so he laughs: "Haha, Rollin, you are really a straightforward person." ”

Taking a sip of wine, he continued, "I heard about the docks, and I heard that you got a huge reward? ”

Rollin was stunned, he still owed Bernard 10,000 gold coins, and he didn't want to pay it back, so he immediately opened his mouth to block, "Well, indeed, but I've already spent it, and it's all used to buy supplies." ”

"Haha, my friend, you are underestimating me, I don't mean to get my investment back. I just wanted to remind you that Homlin has been desperately collecting goods lately, and even collected a lot of contraband, which is likely to attract some people's attention. ”

This is indeed a problem, and Homlin cannot be blamed, as this is required in Rollin's list of supplies, which contains a large number of steel ingots, as this thing is necessary for forging equipment weapons. He's going to gather his strength. He would have to build equipment from a large number of ingots to arm his future soldiers.

"What do you have to say?" Rollin knew Bernard wouldn't be left untargeted.

"In this regard. I can help. You know, I'm the head of commercial tax in the business district, and I know a lot of people, and some of them specialize in smuggling those ...... Uh, the good stuff that's not so legal, but everybody's got it. Bernard smiled and, as he spoke, looked around cautiously. I'm afraid of being heard.

Luo Lin understood, and lowered his voice: "Then what do you want?" ”

He didn't believe that there was a free lunch, especially for someone as shrewd as Bernard, and he definitely wanted to get something out of it.

"It's a pleasure to talk to you, Rollin." Bernard smiled, dipped his finger in his drink, and wrote a word on the table: "Protect." ”

"You want me to protect you?" Rollin asked.

Bernard nodded: "My family seems to be prominent, but in fact, they don't have much strength to protect themselves. Especially now that the darkness is tapping in. I can assert that it won't be long. Maybe a few months, maybe just half a year. There will be upheaval in Vendôme. I must seek strength that will protect me and my family. ”

"As far as I know, many people in Vendôme have more power than I ......"

"But they're all living in a dream of prosperity, they're all drunk, they can't see anything, aren't they? Even the knight Ben and even the lord are full of fog in front of their eyes, aren't they? Bernard looked at the men and women who were singing and dancing to their heart's content, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, showing a hint of contempt.

After the last incident, Bernard was completely sober.

Luo Lin nodded: "Deal." ”

Bernard smiled even deeper, filled his and Rollin's glasses with his own hands, and whispered, "Cheers." ”

At this time, after a dance was finished, Lord Primor, who was sitting on the balcony looking down on the crowd, stretched out his hand to stop the musicians beside him, then stood up and said to his subjects, "I have something to announce today. ”

As he spoke, one of the attendants ran out of the castle and ran in the direction of Rollin, and when he reached Rollin's side, he panted and said, "Your lordship, please come over, please come with me." ”

Knowing that Primo was about to announce the reward, Rollin nodded to Bernard and followed the squire.

The lord also saw Rollin, grinned at him, and continued, "In Vendôme, there are two young warriors. They were very powerful, defeated the terrible Cyclops, killed evil magicians, and defeated a large number of warriors. They were very loyal and took back a huge fortune for me without expecting anything in return. But as a lord, I must reward such an excellent young man! ”

Rollin had reached the balcony and found Langdon with him. The three magicians, Vianna, Disentas, and Rafibel, are also there. The three three horsemen, including Knight Ben, were also present. The lord's wife, Liv, is also there.

The scene was unusually grand.

The lord continued, "They are the pride of my Vendôme, the best of the younger generation. They are Lord Langdon, Lord Rollin. Today, here I will award them the Order of Tulip! ”

"Wow~" The crowd suddenly became in an uproar, the Tulip Medal is the highest honor in Vendôme, and whoever wears this medal will be able to walk freely in the castle area, enter the lord's castle freely, and be free to participate in the lord's banquet in the zenith garden.

In short, for the upper class of Vendôme, this medal was a coveted thing, a status symbol.

Langdon looked excited, his body straight, his head held high, and he was full of energy.

For Rollin, this medal was indeed a good reward, because it brought him great fame, and it also provided him with very convenient access to the various celebrities of Vendôme, which was extremely useful, but it was not at all exciting.

However, in order to satisfy the lord's vanity, Luo Lin still showed a grateful look.

His face was flushed (drinking), his body trembled slightly, his lips opened to speak, and he didn't know where to put his hands, which was more than Randon's excitement.

Lord Primo laughed proudly, his impression of Rollin became better and better, he patted Rollin on the shoulder and said with satisfaction, "Young man, I appreciate you more and more. ”

"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your generous reward!" Rollin thanked him 'excitedly'.

On the side of the balcony, Archmage Disentas looked at the high-spirited Rollin in front of him, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and the lord's wife Liv on the side also had a very cold face, she unconsciously wrung her hands, almost twisting the handkerchief in her hand.

The two of them didn't expect that their expressions were all seen by the smiling Vianna, but Vianna didn't react, and the smile on her face was as decent as ever, as if she didn't see anything.

She looked at Rollin again, and she could see at a glance that Rollin's excitement was fake, and the lord was unaware that he was being toyed with by the young man.

This discovery made Vianna feel a little uncomfortable: "He is always good at acting, maybe he is also acting in front of me, and I may have been deceived by him." ”

Thinking like this, Vianna's heart hardened again: "Who knows if he deliberately drank to show me just now, maybe it was to make me soft-hearted, hum!" ”

Rollin didn't know what Vianna was thinking, he had been dragged by Lord Primo to the square in front of the castle to have fun together.

It was a crazy night.

The next day, when Rollin got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and he found himself sitting in a galloping carriage, and in his heart he was puzzled, and when he opened the front window of the carriage, he saw that the driver was a wild wolf.

When the wild wolf heard the movement behind him, he turned his head and smiled: "Master, you are awake." ”

Rollin felt a little pain in his head, patted his forehead, and remembered that after he came back from the lord's castle last night, he asked Langdon to send him to the mercenary station, and the wolf happened to be there, and then he insisted on letting the wolf drive to Alpine Town overnight.

"Hmm~ Where are we now?" Rollin asked, and as he spoke, he saw the battle armor and weapons placed in the carriage, and his heart was relieved, fortunately he didn't drink and make a mistake.

"There's still about half a day's way to go, and we should be able to reach the ground in the evening." Wolf Road.

"That's good." Rollin nodded, it was better to leave, stay in Vendôme, he always thought about Vianna, he couldn't do anything, it was a good idea to stay away from her for a while.

He began to think about his plans for the future.

There are still half a year left before the time of the orc invasion in memory, five months and twenty-three days to be exact. During this time, he must assemble a well-trained army!

Thinking about it like this, Zhi Brain immediately gave the task.

"Ding, main quest: develop your territory and build your own army."

"Mission Step 1: Build a Primary Territory."

"Bonus XP: 10,000"

"Reward: Shield: Undefeated Barrier."

Undefeated Barrier: Condense the power of anger all over the body and shield, perfectly block physical attacks or intermediate single magic that is not higher than 150% of its own strength, and consume potential value: 50.

This shield skill came just right, and he was lacking a powerful defensive skill.
