Thinking like this, Akasha's mood became much more comfortable. She hummed a little song and got up to get dressed in her regular clothes, washed and eaten, and began to arrange the procession in the city to prepare for the welcome ceremony to the Duke of Evta. After all, no matter how much I don't like Sally, I can't reflect my personal emotions in this "political" ceremony. It's just that the current conundrum is with... If Roddy doesn't come back, who will preside over the welcome ceremony?

There are rules for the ceremony of welcoming the Duke, but Duke Sally has already sent people to report in advance that "everything is simple", and Akasha is naturally happy to save trouble. Anyway, she didn't like the formalism of the people and money, and at this time, as the spokesperson of Roddy and the current principal of Elson City, she solemnly approved the matter.

However, no matter how "simple" it is, the most basic welcome team and honor guard must still be there. By the time the news of the completion of the procession came, it was already noon, and there was still no shadow of Roddy's return in the sky. It stands to reason that Camilla is the most suitable person to preside over this kind of thing, but Camilla is imprisoned, should Sodrore come?

After thinking about it, Sodrol is a military position, and it is okay to fight, but it is not suitable to be a reception. Houdini's status as a mage is sufficient, but he has just joined Elson, and it is not appropriate to directly preside over the reception.

The rest of the recently appointed officials are obviously not qualified at all, and Akasha thinks about it, and now it seems that only she is really qualified to come forward...

After all, Roddy has not taken the initiative to publicize the matter of marrying Sally, and he and Roddy are well known in Elson, and Akasha, who defaults to the "City Lord's Wife", has no problem at all in terms of identity and status.

Akasha suddenly felt a little helpless, she didn't plan to show up at the welcome ceremony, but now... Seems like it really can't be avoided?

By the afternoon, Roddy still showed no signs of returning. The Floating Tower had confirmed that the Duke's party had arrived outside Elson. The people who attended the welcome ceremony were ready - Nata, Houdini, Sodrol, and the honor guard of the Knights of the Dragonlance, not to mention the main members of the "Elson Magic Research Department" who came to support the scene in uniform robes. Seeing that Roddy, who was the real protagonist, had not appeared for a long time, everyone in front of the mansion couldn't help but look at each other.

They all knew that the city lord had been dragged away by the dragon early in the morning, so no one said anything gossip - after all, the "dragon clan" was an existence outside the human class, and there was no way to deal with it with common sense.

As the Duke's carriage drove into the outer city and down the main road towards the inner city, Akasha finally understood that she had to take charge of the situation at this point—she took a breath, straightened out her custom-made dress, and stepped out with her scepter in hand.

The Knight of Titus stood in front of him, and Sodrore greeted him, leading the team through the nearby square. There were five carriages in the Duke's Palace, lined up after arriving in front of the mansion. The guards and attendants quickly gathered around the largest and most delicate carriage in the middle, and as the door opened, the Duke who had already changed his costume stepped down with great vigour.

Sally had been waiting for this day for a long time, and even this gorgeous dark green dress was custom-made for the trip, holding the "Pit Viper's Kiss" scepter and wearing the "Fire Demon Breath" ring given to her by Roddy on her right ring finger - which was clearly what it meant to belong.

Compared with the youth when he first met Roddy, the Duke is obviously taller now. She raised her golden length and height, and her originally thin figure seemed to be plump because of her pampering in the past six months or so, and because of the existence of her breasts, she was even more upright. After receiving the increase in the strength of the "Pit Viper's Kiss", her mental power has improved far from before, and her eyes seem to have a stunning brilliance, but she just glances around at random, and the momentum that overwhelms the audience is completely diffused...

Although she tried to keep the expression on her face serious, the thought of seeing Roddy right away, the corners of Sally's mouth couldn't help but turn up. But after stepping out of the carriage and walking forward three or four paces, she did not see the creature at all, but Akasha, also dressed in full costume, stood in front of her—which made her expression freeze on her face at once.

"Your Excellency, long time no see. ”

Akasha stepped forward enthusiastically, if it was Roddy, she would need to kiss her hand, but as a woman, she didn't have to be so solemn at this time. After bowing her head slightly, she stretched out her hand and gently took the Duke's hand, "Roddy has been preparing for today's welcome ceremony for a long time, but before we got up in the morning, His Excellency Kardashian came over and called him away, and I couldn't stop him... I thought he would be able to return at noon, but they haven't heard from them until now, probably because something was delayed outside. In desperation, I have to receive the Duke, and I hope to forgive me for my presumptuousness. ”

This was said politely, but the words "we haven't gotten up yet" made Sally's face turn pale. Thinking of this guy Luo Di lingering in the gentle country every day, she suddenly gritted her teeth secretly. But now that so many people were watching, and the momentum couldn't be lost, he naturally held Akasha's hand, and said with a smile as he walked: "What's so presumptuous about this, this cabinet meeting is also related to the collaboration between the dragon clan and Ivta, since His Excellency Kardashian has an urgent matter to find him out, it is naturally necessary to have a reason." According to your age, I still have to call you sister, I don't know if it's okay?"

Age is the opposite of every woman, and although Akasha is young, she is indeed five or six years older than Roddy and Sally - in terms of age alone, Roddy and Sally are indeed more compatible.

Sally's words also made Akasha's eyebrows tremble, and the atmosphere around her froze for a moment. But Akasha still smiled, and unconsciously introduced Sally to the other members of the welcome queue. The two held hands, and the appearance of peerless best friends was really flawless. Akasha is sexy and mature, with a plump figure and charm that is the most irresistible temptation of men, Sally is dressed in a gorgeous dark green robe, and the emblem symbolizing the status of Duke Roussifron is made into a delicate brooch pinned to the chest, both of them hold scepters, and when they stand together, they almost completely represent the two major pursuits of men in this world: power and beauty.

This beautiful scenery was really eye-catching, and many mages who had just finished their meeting from the magic tower came over to gather a lot of momentum for the welcoming ceremony. The Floating Tower, hundreds of mages, Dragonlance Knights, and barbarian warriors lined up in a way that was incomparable to the rest of Evretta. The other members of the Cabinet who have arrived in the past six days have naturally felt the tremendous power of the city beneath its peaceful surface.

The welcoming ceremony went smoothly under the auspices of Akasha, and although it was required to be "simple", it was only a guard of honor and a needless expense. The real process is indispensable – just as at this moment, when the Duke's party arrives, they take a short tour of the city by transport.

The sun is just right, the climate in the city is warm and pleasant, and the two beauties are talking and laughing on the transport ship. It seems that everything is normal, but the guys who heard the words of the two people up close all felt that the temperature around them was a little cold...

"Rasiman's mages weren't very good, and it was as if the whole team had been forgotten during that time. But Roddy wasn't annoyed, he took me shopping all day long, and by the way, I also bought a gold jewelry necklace for my sister, wait to see if it fits. ”

"Well, Roddy always said that my collarbone is suitable for a necklace made of fine gold, I didn't expect my sister to be so hearty. ”

Akasha doesn't talk much on weekdays, but this confrontation is as smooth as a self-taught. And even though Sally, who is in a high position, is not yet twenty years old, her mood has already stabilized a lot in the past few years. Not only did she take the words quietly, but she could easily dissolve them, and by the way, she maintained her enthusiasm for speaking without being cold - from this point, it can be seen that her rank is indeed higher than Akasha.

A simple tour was originally expected to take an hour. But Roddy wasn't there, and Sally obviously didn't want to watch it, and it was over after half an hour of going through the motions. After that, the two of them took the lead in entering the City Lord's Mansion, and according to the schedule, they could rest for an afternoon and wait for the dinner to arrive.

This was a relief to the people who followed along the way. Several mage representatives of the "Magic Exchange Conference" felt that Duke Sally really lived up to his reputation, and made an excuse and quickly slipped back to the laboratory. Sylvia and Evely, the representatives of the research department, were also silent and didn't dare to say more, and only after returning to the laboratory did they explode the soul of gossip and discuss it with great interest...

However, Nata, who was far away in charge of the security of the venue, never showed up, and continued to do her own thing in silence - after taking her back to the department, Dores, who could not participate in the welcome ceremony, was very curious about what was going on outside, ran over to grab Nata, and asked hesitantly, "I heard that there is a particularly powerful duke?"

The two are in the same department, and they don't look up and look down on weekdays, Dorois and Nora know each other, so Nata also takes care of her, so there is this scene.

"Well, it's the lord of Evta. ”

Nata put aside the short bow she was carrying, and lowered her head to sort out the arrows in the quiver.

"I've heard from them that the lord is - very beautiful, and she seems to be the lord of the city..."

Dorys knew that she shouldn't continue to have some kind of fantasy, but she always felt very uncomfortable. However, before she could finish asking, she realized that Nata had unconsciously pulled the feather of an arrow off...

"Duke Sally will be the wife of the Lord of the City. ”

Nata looked at the arrow feather in her hand, and her voice was a little urn-like. Doreth swallowed, suddenly realized that she seemed to have asked the wrong person, and hurriedly said: "This, this way, I just came here, and I don't know anything... Now understood. What's that... There's still something going on over there, so I'm going to get busy first. ”

is also a woman, and Doris's intuition in this regard is naturally not bad. After returning to his office, Dorois picked up a stack of documents and pretended to check it, but her mind was thinking about how many women had appeared around him since she had met Roddy... After reading it for a few minutes, she realized that she had taken the information in her hand backwards. After hastily adjusting, Doroth saw Nora passing through the front hallway, and quickly whispered to her to come over, and quietly gossiped with the Tevelin.

As a result, the latter's life experience was much more bizarre than hers, and she asked with a strange face: "Isn't it normal for the city lord to have several partners?" He is so powerful, there must be many people who are willing to give him children. ”

In the early days, the Tevling tribe also struggled to maintain the moral norms of human society. But in the later stage, it is completely respected by strength, after all, only with the strong can there be food, so polygamy abounds in the village, and Nora grew up in such an environment, and felt that they had no need to gossip about it.

Doroth feels that she has found the wrong person, but when Nora leaves, she inexplicably feels that what the other party said is true. It's just that these thoughts are just fantasies, looking at the stacks of materials that need to be sorted out in front of her, she sighed and continued to work.
