Chapter 767: Aristocratic Style
Chapter 767: Aristocratic Style
The alley space is small, and there is no room for vertical and horizontal maneuvering. Lin Zaishan was forced by the tall man's mace to retreat again and again, and soon retreated to the end of the alley.
The tall man sneered, and the mace slammed down on his head again.
If Lin Zaishan tried his best, he might be able to jump to the wall to dodge with his agile skills, but Trinity behind him would definitely be unlucky. In desperation, he raised his machete and parried hard.
A "bang" of gunfire rang out, and a bullet was fired from the street, hitting the tall man's mace, deflecting it.
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a tall white horse more than 3 meters high standing in the middle of the street, and a knight with gorgeous armor sitting on the horseback. The knight made a few graceful turns of the pistol in his right hand where he had just fired the bullet, and then inserted it into the scabbard at his waist.
"A group of rough people dare to kidnap a noble lady on the streets of the capital under the blue sky and daylight! Did you have the wrong brains, or did you have enough to eat? Give you 10 seconds to disappear from my face immediately! The knight reprimanded loudly.
"It's Orlando, the Killer!" The rioters panicked and retreated.
The tall man who attacked Lin Zaishan turned around and yelled and rushed out of the alley to Orlando. Leaping high a dozen paces away from him, the mace was raised high above the top, and the fit was smashed.
There was a muffled "bang", followed by a scream, followed by the sound of a "plop" heavy object falling to the ground.
The originally invincible tall man was kicked to the ground by Orlando's war horse and died of exhaustion.
"I'll go!" Lin Zaishan was secretly surprised, "This person must be extraordinary, with my current state, he is definitely not his opponent." β
The thugs had long been terrified, and when they saw the tragic fate of the tall man, they immediately fled.
Orlando did not pursue, he jumped off the horse lightly, came to the alley, directly ignored Lin Zaishan, who was dressed as a slave and wearing a slave collar, bowed to Trinity gracefully, and said in a very magnetic voice: "Noble and beautiful Lady Trinity, forgive me for being too late to save me." β
Trinity nodded in return, and said in her usual cold and beautiful voice, "It's all because my servants are incompetent, they can't deal with these little thieves, and they even have to bother the famous Rose Knight to take action." β
"It's my pleasure. I wonder if Miss Trinity will give me this opportunity to escort you home? β
"There is labor."
Orlando took Trinity by the arm and came to his horse, making a gesture of embrace, "I'll send you on the horse." β
"I'll do it myself!" Trinity pulled down the escalator and quickly climbed onto the horse's back, which was more than 3 meters high.
"Good skills." Orlando complimented, jumped onto the horse, wrapped her arms around Trinity with one hand, and took control of the horse's reins with the other.
Lin Zaishan stood thoughtfully in the dust.
Leon, who was beaten by the thugs and his face was blue, suddenly appeared from behind, "Lin, who is this buddy on horseback?" How can you get him to snatch Trinity? β
Lin Zaishan turned around, patted Leon on the shoulder, and smiled meaningfully: "He is your most powerful rival in love. β
//////
After sending off the Earl of Orlando, Trinity began to "put the family in order". Apparently provoked by the kidnapping, she had an unusually fiery temper, and punished several servants who had accompanied her but behaved unfavorably, and lashed them out. Only the steward and Lin Zaishan were exempt from punishment.
"Listen, everybody, if you still behave like this nonsense next time, I'm going to chop you up and feed it to the dogs!" Trinity finished speaking, and summoned the two huge vicious dogs to her side.
These two vicious dogs were favored by the hostess, majestic and arrogant, they stared at the dog's eyes, staring at the new "little fresh meat" Leon with bad intentions, and occasionally a drop of hara fell from the dog's mouth.
The butler said, "Ma'am, if you want to be safe, be sure to bring a guard with you the next time you go out." β
Trinity snorted coldly, noncommittal. She is neither a local nor an earthling, her origin is unknown, there are many secret things, she usually acts alone without taking people, and she will never make a big show if she can drive lightly. Lin Zaishan also has a unique identity, and has dealt with her for a long time, and is the only person she can share secrets with in this strange space. This directly led to her "pampering" of Lin Zaishan. The latter was summoned overnight for a secret conversation on the first day he entered the house, and he was accompanied by him when he went shopping, and now, Trinity decided to reward him.
"Wangcai, from today onwards, you are my personal bodyguard. You go to the butler right away and get your weapons and equipment. β
"Wow!" Everyone was in an uproar, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred gushed out.
Trinity's coldness is the crown of the capital, not to mention that many nobles and knights are jealous of her, and even the Duke of Glory is trying to please her. The guards in the palace endured much lower salaries than their peers, just so that they could see her up close and often, and regarded it as a great honor to be by her side. But Trinity never gives everyone a chance easily, and the entourage she brings when she goes out is either based on her own position and expertise, or randomly selected, and does not give anyone the opportunity to stay with her for a long time.
Now, for the first time in history, she has appointed a personal guard, and many knights and samurai who have broken their heads and do not want to pay or die are indifferent, but they have chosen Lin Zaishan, who looks inconspicuous.
This Chinese man looks like he can't live 3 chapters and is handsome for 3 seconds, why does Trinity value him? Is it because of some of his "specialties"?
Lin Zaishan does have a lot of "strengths", but he is too low-key, easy-going and "Holy Mother", if he hadn't descended from the sky to save you from danger, you wouldn't have noticed him.
Trinity knows Lin Zaishan, if not the roots, at least he knows his evolutionary process well. She witnessed Lin Zaishan's incredible evolution from an "obscure" ordinary person (obscurity, of course, to her) to a seventh-level Star Soul powerhouse and a mid-to-high-level Star Soul coder.
Among the pan-dimensional intelligent beings she has seen, there has hardly ever been one who has succeeded by relying on positive energy models like Lin Zaishan. The latter's perseverance is rare, and what is rare is that he has been able to uphold the moral law despite being tortured, enduring hardships, and being beaten again and againβthis is perhaps the most powerful secret of his success.
Trinity saw the potential and brilliance of Lin Zaishan with a vision that transcended time and space. She tortures and tests Lin Zaishan in various near-perverted ways, consciously or unconsciously, in the Void Arena, and for her, this is the best means of expressing appreciation and enjoying pleasure.
Now, she and Lin Zaishan are also trapped in a strange space, and there is no doubt that the latter is her most powerful reliance and magic weapon. The weight and value of Lin Zaishan in her mind are definitely not easily comparable to these nobles and bigwigs in the weird space.

The standard equipment of the noble guards includes armor, swords, pistols, shields, and first aid kits, and in the case of knights, horses, super spears, horse-mounted arrows, crossbows, rifles, etc.
These weapons and equipment are all European medieval styles mixed with modern manufacturing techniques. Due to the loss of the industrial base, the level of production of guns and other weapons has decreased much compared to the pre-apocalyptic era, but the ability to manufacture armor and cold weapons is still there.
The weapons and equipment of the noble guards were all from the personal arsenal of the glorious duke, and they were of excellent workmanship, magnificent appearance, and high quality.
Lin Zaishan's current status is only the personal guard of the nobles, and he has not been officially canonized, so he does not have the qualifications of a knight. He wore a medieval armor, a shield on his back, a long sword at his waist, a pistol, and a first-aid kit.
Trinity summoned him to the secret room, looked him up and down with wide eyes, and said sarcastically: "I hope you are not only glamorous on the outside, but also able to play your real material at critical moments." β
Lin Zaishan said: "If I had this equipment in the morning instead of using my bare hands, I could have completely beaten away those who wanted to kidnap you." β
"You don't seem to be very accustomed to swords and pistols, tell me, what is your best weapon?"
"In the era of low abilities, my best weapons were dual knives and bows."
"You can go to the butler now to change your weapon, and then come back to me."
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Zaishan returned to the secret room.
Trinity asked coldly, "Satisfied with the weapon now?" β
"Very satisfied." Lin Zaishan took out his double knives and pulled a few knife flowers, and the various tricks and skills that he had forgotten instantly recalled, and he couldn't wait to find an opponent to practice immediately.
"Tonight, I will openly push you out of the banquet of the Duke of Splendour, and there will be many knights and nobles who will challenge you. As long as you can win several games in a row, you will have a chance to be canonized. When you have the qualifications of knight or nobility, it will be much easier to enter and exit the capital and interact with people, and you will have more opportunities to contact and get meteorites, and learn the secrets of space. β
"Ha, you've been so thoughtful in arranging it for me."
"Of course. However, don't blame me for not reminding you, there are a lot of masters among the people attending the banquet tonight, and I estimate that at least 30 people can easily crush you. This kind of open gladiatorial battle usually ends in life and death, and you have to show your state in the Void Arena and win streaks in all sorts of incredible ways. β
"I'll go! Trinity, you seem to have forgotten a basic fact: my strongest skill is the code of consciousness, and in this strange space, my code of consciousness is invalid! β
"Humph! Loser! You're still not a man? Can't you do anything without abilities? β
"Well, I'll throw off my arms and do a high-profile job tonight."
//////
Around 17 o'clock in the evening, the butler prepared the carriage. Heavily armed, Lin Jae-shan escorted Trinity, who was dressed in a pink dress, to the carriage.
Leon, who was accompanying as a servant, secretly glanced at Trinity, and almost lost his soul. This underage child will feel overwhelmed when he sees a beautiful girl, not to mention Trinity, a "fairy" and "goblin" from a high-dimensional space who is proud of many planes.
The carriage traveled several blocks to the plaza in front of the capital's most opulent building, the Palace of Glow Light. It's already crowded with horse-drawn carriages. Richly dressed and oily-haired nobles and knights, surrounded by guards, approached one after another, heading towards the palace gate.
There were also many aristocratic ladies who came to the banquet, all of them were carefully dressed, one was beautiful for themselves, the other attracted men, and the third was for invisible face competition with other women.
Among the many women, Trinity's pink color is the most eye-catching. Pink belongs to the color of sweet girls, and on formal occasions such as court dinners, not many adult women will appear in pink, in addition to the atmosphere may not match, but also because their appearance, figure and temperament are difficult to control. But Trinity has always been a maverick in dressing (in fact, she continues the aesthetic taste of high-dimensional space), she looks even more elegant and luxurious against the backdrop of a pink dress, and the cute and sweet pink not only does not damage her consistent image at all, but makes her more cold.
All the women looked at Trinity with jealousy, envy and other complicated eyes, consciously or unintentionally, and some even talked about it; The men, on the other hand, watched Trinity's figure and every move greedily or politely, and looked at Lin Jae-san with surprise, contempt, envy or indifference to Cindy's side.
Lin Zaishan is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes, he doesn't care about everyone's onlookers, and plays the role of personal guard calmly and dutifully.
The palace banquet stipulates that each nobleman can only bring a maximum of 1 retinue and 1 guard, so Trinity chooses the butler and Lin Zaishan and walks towards the palace gate.
Along the way, from time to time, male aristocrats took off their hats and saluted Trinity, and she kept a cold and arrogant smile, without any pretense.
Just more than thirty meters away from the palace gate, a noble lady with a black veil covering her face, accompanied by two female attendants, suddenly walked sideways and blocked Trinity's way.
The aristocratic lady sneered at Trinity: "I heard that there are women who know how to play tricks on men and prostitutes who are the most expensive in the glorious principality in the capital, I thought they were two women, but when I saw you today, I realized that they were the same person." β
The naked provocation of this noble lady immediately attracted a large number of onlookers. In the capital, people never dislike romance, especially when it comes to beauties of Trinity's level. Everyone watched Trinity with interest to see how she coped.
Trinity is used to being pampered and has never been humiliated in person, and her usual mode of dealing with daring "sluts" or "mobs" is to kill them without mercy - chop them up and feed them to the dogs, but this trick may not work for the aristocratic lady. Trinity looked around and asked, "Which of you is not tied up and is running out here to bite?" If she doesn't drive away, I'll beat her in the mouth! β
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter. They obviously appreciate Trinity's "ask the dog left and right" coping strategy.
The aristocratic lady is furious, screams "shameless bitch", and rushes forward to scratch Trinity's face with her nails.
"Smack", Lin Zaishan lost no time in blocking in front of Trinity, and cleanly rewarded the noble lady with a crisp slap.
The aristocratic lady's anger immediately shifted to Lin Zaishan, she covered her face with one hand and pointed at Lin Zaishan's nose with the other, and scolded: "You...... You dog minion, how dare you do it to me? You're dead today! She looked around and asked in a pitiful voice, "Which knight is willing to kill this dog minion for me?" Are you willing to watch a noble lady be humiliated by a lowly servant? β
Seven or eight male nobles and knights replied at the same time: "I do! β
The aristocratic lady shifted her gaze back to Lin Zaishan, as if looking at a dead dog.
