Chapter Ninety-Three: Meeting
Shi Ji found an excuse to escape, but Dugufeng didn't walk away. Of course, she doesn't have to run away, with her status and power, she doesn't have to wronged herself according to the requirements of others, balls or banquets, naturally she can go if she wants, and she won't go if she doesn't want to go.
"Take me to my father first!" Dugu Feng said lightly to the old housekeeper.
The old butler nodded, and led Dugu Feng around the hall where the ball was being held, walked up a flight of stairs, passed through a long corridor with portraits of the ancestors of the Silver Shield family, and then came to the meeting room where Anta * Silver Shield was talking to the elven messenger of Everisca.
"Welcome back, my daughter!"
Seeing Dugu Feng's arrival, Grand Duke Anta Yindun suddenly stood up with a smile and welcomed his returning daughter.
With a straight body, a majestic face, and a lion-like aura, Anta Silver Shield is clearly at the pinnacle of his life, and his luscious power brings him an almost never-tiring energy. In general, Grand Duke Anta Silvershield prefers to face others with a tough, decisive, cold and majestic face, even for most family members.
However, for Aelita, a powerful and independent daughter who has brought him great benefits, Grand Duke Antar Silver Shield prefers to show his father's charitable side.
"My daughter, I heard that you rebuilt the Dragonspear Castle, how about it? Does that castle match who you are? ”
Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield half-jokingly said, "Perhaps, you have built it stronger and more magnificent than the family castle!" ”
"If there is a need, I will do it."
Regarding the joke of the Grand Duke of Anta Yindun, Dugu Feng just smiled faintly and responded.
"Well, if you need to, you can indeed expand the Dragonspear Castle to make it look more than just a duke's castle!"
Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield said with a smile, he had long been accustomed to the cold attitude of this powerful daughter. Powerful characters naturally have strong wills, and the killing princess should naturally have such a cold temperament like a sword - of course, because the sword belongs to his own side, he appreciates it very much, and if it belongs to the enemy, then he should destroy it in every possible way.
"By the way, my daughter, maybe I need an introduction! This is Lady Rusya from Eversca, who has come on behalf of the goodwill of the Elves of Everisca! ”
After a few words of conversation with his daughter, Grand Duke Anta * Silver Shield introduced Dugu Feng to the elf lady from Everisca.
"Hello, Your Excellency Princess Killing. I'm Ruthia*Remnant, an envoy from Everisca! The elven envoy from Eversca, a beautiful elf with a beautiful figure and slender legs, nodded slightly, and greeted Her Excellency the Princess of Slaughter: "Your constant fight against evil deeds, like the trade winds in the wilderness, has spread throughout the West and the North, and I am glad to meet you as a noble, kind, and righteous and powerful person. ”
"Hello, Lord Rusya!"
Dugu Feng nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on this elf with a pair of slender legs, she was wearing a costume that seemed quite strange to people in this world, with a wide collar and long sleeves, and a fluttering skirt, which looked very in line with the mysterious and elegant style of the elf.
However, in Dugufeng's eyes, this is a dress that obviously integrates the ancient style of Hanfu, which is very obvious in this medieval style magic world. Generally speaking, this kind of dress with an ancient Hanfu style has no similar thing except for the celestial dress of the priest of the God of War Church in the New World.
Although the Elves have a good relationship with the Church of the God of War in the New World, this kind of costume, which is obviously different from the Celestial Maiden's costume, may have been the work of another time-traveler.
Of course, this lady Rusya is not a traverser, she is a pure indigenous elf who can no longer be pure, but she does not only have the breath of the continent of Faerun.
Therefore, Dugu Feng asked directly: "Ms. Rusya, you don't look like the elf of the world of Feilun, where are you from?" ”
"Ah, you can see it!"
The long-legged Rusiya couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and said with some surprise: "I am indeed not an elf who grew up in the Feron Continent, my hometown is in the Karatu Continent in the East!" ”
"Oh, are there elves in the Karatu Continent in the east?"
Hearing the elf Rusya's answer, Grand Duke Anta * Silver Shield couldn't help but show a surprised expression, the Karatu continent located in the east of Faerun has always been a place full of mysteries, for so many years, I have only heard of humans and warrior monks from the Karatu continent, but no one has ever seen the elves who came here from the Karatu continent!
"Of course, the continent of Karatu is home to more than just our elves. We still have a strong and unified motherland, and we are not like our compatriots here on the Feron Continent who have lost the unified royal court and are forced to scatter in various forests all over the continent! ”
Speaking of her hometown, the elf Rusya suddenly showed a look of pride and pride, and she introduced with high interest: "Under the guidance of His Majesty the great and glorious Anshuyar, the 'Heavenly Mandate Divine Empire' of our Elves in the Karatu Continent has continued to exist for 10,000 years, and even now, our 'Heavenly Destiny Divine Empire' is still the most powerful country in the Karatu Continent, and only the dragon kingdom with the blood of gods and dragons can compete with us. ”
For the introduction of the elf Rusya full of pride and pride, Dugu Feng did not doubt it, nor was it strange. Perhaps only the aborigines of Faeron who have lived on the Feren Continent for generations and have never paid attention to the mainland will think that the Faren Continent is the center of the world, and the believers of the gods are only mainstream on the Faren Continent.
However, in fact, the power and influence of the gods spread throughout the crystal wall system, and most of the planes with intelligent life in the entire Torel world will have traces of the belief in the gods.
Just like the elven supreme god that everyone is familiar with, although the elves on the continent of Faren have gradually withdrawn from the stage of history due to factors such as several consecutive crown wars and the rise of human beings, they have no longer regained the glory of the era of the ancient elf empire. But it doesn't mean that there is no powerful elven race under the command of the elven lord.
For example, outside the continent of Faerun, in the Karatu Empire in the east, the Elven Lord God still has a powerful Elven Empire. This is also one of the many reasons why after the decline of the elves in the Faren Continent, the main god of the elves can still firmly occupy the position of one of the strongest gods in the realm.
"Lady Rusya! If we can come to an agreement to send troops, maybe it's my daughter who will lead the rescue of Everska this time. ”
Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield didn't care too much about Ruthya's pride and motherland, the Eastern Karatu Continent was too far away from the Baldur's Gate at the westernmost point of the Faren Continent, and no matter how powerful the Elven Destiny Empire was, it would have no effect on him.
Therefore, after paying a little attention to it, he turned the topic back and said, "However, we can talk about this topic later." Now, the guests have been waiting for a long time, and we should be the protagonists of this dance party! ”
"If the Killing Princess leads the rescue, I don't have any opinion!"
Elf Rusya glanced at Dugu Feng and nodded with satisfaction, the name of the princess who killed her, she had also heard of it, with such a powerful legend leading the team, Efrisca would definitely have a powerful boost.
……
With the arrival of Grand Duke Anta *Silver Shield, the whole banquet suddenly reached a climax. The welcoming music was played long and clearly, and all the nobles, noblewomen, young ladies, and other guests bowed slightly to their breasts or knees to the Grand Duke, who held the fate of the Baldur's Gate.
"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, let me introduce to you that this is the protagonist of our ball today, Lady Rusya of the great Eversca, and let us make a toast to her."
Grand Duke Anta Silver Shield whispered to Evrysca's envoy and raised the silver cup.
Under the leadership of the Grand Duke, the guests of the banquet also raised their glasses and welcomed the beautiful elves from the elven realm.
Lady Rusya also stood up gracefully, nodded her thanks to the Grand Duke and the nobles present, and then raised the silver cup as well, and drank it with everyone.
Soon, after the fixed etiquette session, it was the long-awaited show. One by one, the nobles and the upper class in luxurious costumes grinded their fists and clapped their hands, ready to snatch the first lead dance of the beautiful elves.
However, to their surprise, the beautiful and intelligent long-legged elf, after looking at a circle of male humans who were grinding their fists and clapping their palms, suddenly smiled slyly, and then turned to Dugu Feng, who was standing quietly in the corner of the ball, bowed slightly, stretched out his hand and made a man's invitation courtesy, and said: "Beautiful Highness Alita, your beauty is like the moon in the sky, can I have this honor to dance with you?" ”
“……”
Such a sudden turn of events suddenly made the eyes of all the eager guests widen and stunned.
Looking at the long-legged elf who took the initiative to send it to the door, Dugu Feng, who was doing nothing and standing quietly in a corner playing soy sauce, couldn't help but let out a smile.
"Absolutely!"
In the stunned gaze of everyone, Dugu Feng reached out slightly and responded to the invitation of the long-legged elf!
Buzz Buzz!
At this moment, the entire hall seemed to explode, and everyone couldn't help but talk and whisper. Those young people who were eager to try their fists and palms suddenly showed expressions of regret and chagrin.
Although the killing princess Aelita is also a stunning nobody, but this highness's personality is the same as her striking hair color, full of the cold edge of the sword blade, in the past banquets and balls, it is not without bold guys to send invitations to this beautiful sword dance princess, but they are all defeated under the sword dance princess's sharp gaze like a sword edge.
Therefore, there is even a popular joke throughout Baldur's Gate that if you want to win the right to dance with Her Royal Highness the Killing Princess, you must first be able to outcompete the sword in the hands of the Killing Princess. Therefore, over time, at the banquets and balls attended by the Killing Princess, everyone will actively ignore the existence of this beautiful princess. Only some stunned young people who have just stepped into this circle and can't figure out the situation will really invite this princess to dance.
Of course, every time this happens, it will circulate in the aristocratic circles of Baldur's Gate for a long time, because the gaze of the killing princess is as sharp as her sword, and people who are not strong enough will will always accidentally show all kinds of ugliness in the face of her gaze and become a laughing stock in the circle.
