A white-painted carriage drove through the streets of the upper town of the Silver Tide City, and the leather-wrapped wheels were rolling over the flat stone floor, quiet and steady.

It was a beautifully decorated carriage, with elaborate enamel appliqués on the windows, laurel ornamentation in gold lacquer, and twisted wheels and handrails in gilded bronze, showing the grandeur and extraordinariness of the carriage.

Of course, if it's just a well-decorated carriage, it's a little worth paying attention to in the upper town, and even pedestrians who come and go don't necessarily waste the energy to look at it. Because for all its grandeur and beauty, it lacks the most important thing that marks its identity – the family crest.

In the minds of the residents of Uptown, the badge on a carriage is much more valuable than a carriage.

A carriage with a mermaid coat of arms, even a tattered carriage drawn by an old cow, is more noble than a blank carriage decorated with gold lacquer and silver leaf, and decorated with precious stones and silks. A carriage with the coat of arms of the Trident of Waves, even if it was only a servant and a maid, was enough to make the carriages decorated with canaries, antler helmets, and robin insignia bow their heads.

What stands out about this carriage is that it is prominently displayed on the front of the carriage that is adorned with a crown-shaped badge made of three boulder pinnacles. Obviously, this is a very unfamiliar badge to the Silver Tide City.

However, for the people of the upper town, who are sensitive to rank and badges, the origin of this badge was quickly recognized. The mountain rock pattern made of three huge rocks is the unique family crest of the "Mountain Rock Family", and the crown pinnacle made of three huge stones is slightly deformed, but it is obvious that it comes from the Mountain Rock family.

"When did a Roland come to the City of Silver Tide?"

Almost as the carriage passed through the streets of the upper town, the question spread like wings to the dining tables of almost many aristocratic families.

At this moment, Karl was sitting leisurely in the carriage, admiring the beautiful gardens and buildings lining the street through the open window, while rubbing a book he had prepared for Lady Loris.

It was a beautifully bound book, the pages of which were not made of the usual parchment, but of fine fairy snow paper, the snow-white paper was neatly trimmed, and all the raw edges were carefully polished, and there were beautiful and moving epic stories written on it in beautiful floral characters.

To make this gift, Carl put a lot of thought into it. First, he used the money from the sale of the ladies' clothing in the storage rings to buy a batch of fine elven snow paper, and after the transcription was completed, he carefully renovated the book in the same way that he had seen hardcover collector's edition books on Earth.

Not only did he deliberately make a beautiful cover with a patterned border and illustration out of thick parchment, but he also deliberately sought out a carpenter to carve a wooden book cover out of fine sandalwood cutouts.

This book, which is decorated with the Earth's hardcover collector's edition book, is a perfect work of art for an era that has not yet formed a sense of book packaging.

Maybe another person may think that the content of the book is more important than the packaging, and as long as the content of the book is loved by Mrs. Loris, it is a success. But Carl knows that the content of the book is important, but the beautiful packaging and moderate publicity can often sell the same work dozens of times or hundreds of times the value.

Carl, who came from the Internet era of the explosion of the eyeball economy, knows the importance of marketing and publicity, so after he decided to attend Mrs. Loris's ball, he never thought that he would participate in it in a low-key manner.

In the world of the aristocracy, special attention is paid to family and status, although Carl is an illegitimate child, but he is from the legitimate Roland family, although he is deprived of the right to inherit, but he is allowed to use Roland's surname.

If it was the original Carl, he was afraid of the traditions of this world and the rules of the family, and without the permission of the family, he would definitely not dare to play the signboard of the Roland family privately. But Carl, as a time-traveler, has little reverence for the family traditions of this world.

He has awakened the crown bloodline, even the princess has done it, and the knight of the Destiny has experienced it, and he is still afraid of the unspoken rules of the aristocratic world?

So he rented a carriage with a rather ornate decoration at the carriage shop, and then painted the coat of arms of the Shanyan family, and temporarily used it as his car to attend the ball, preparing to use the fame of the Shanyan family to put on a tiger skin for himself - anyway, the people of the Silver Tide City will not know the identity of his illegitimate child for a while, and they are not afraid of being exposed at all.

Carl caressed his carefully prepared gift while thinking about the purpose of attending the ball.

If you hadn't met Mr. Mu of the Silver Dawn mercenary group yesterday, you wouldn't have been invited by him to join Silver Dawn. Carl's original planned future development route was to show his literary talent through Mrs. Loris, and establish himself as a well-known scholar. Once you've established yourself, you'll look for opportunities to blend in with the nobility while hinting at your magic and knightly prowess.

However, now with the line of Silver Dawn, as long as Silver Dawn can be promoted to the Knights successfully, he can follow the tide and rise higher, and it is not a problem to mix a knighthood. The demand for the title is not too big, but there is a more urgent need for the improvement of its own strength.

However, whether it is magic trials or knight training, it requires a lot of money and material assistance, so the problem of all this comes back to the convenience of making money. And he has a few ideas to make money, which he needs the cooperation and support of someone like Mrs. Loris.

The identity of this Mrs. Loris, Carl has also inquired about it in the past few days. She is the mistress of the "Siren's Song" trading house, and has the title of countess, but it is only a court nobleman's title, not a countess in the actual sense, but her actual power in the city of the silver tide is no less than a real countess, because she is the guardian of the city of the silver tide, the patriarch of the mermaid family, the favorite mistress of Lord Robek, the patriarch of the mermaid family, Lord Robeck, is the big man in charge of the mermaid family's huge business and fleet, and many merchants and knights in the city of the silver tide are protected by her.

In order to please the commercial head of the mermaid family, Karl deliberately inquired about her preferences, knowing that she liked to watch operas, like to read stories about the gods of Gulosta, and like legends and epics describing heroic deeds, so he deliberately copied the Greek mythology of the earth that described the Battle of Troy.

And in order to enhance the sense of substitution, Carl deliberately described "Helen", the trigger of the Trojan War, as a beauty with mermaid blood, and intentionally or unintentionally moved the image of Lady Lores closer to Helen.

Such a naked praise of a lady, I believe that no woman can resist such vanity.
