PS: Dear readers and friends, I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival, and in addition, the 6,000-word extended chapter is presented.

At 8:30 a.m., with the sound of twenty-one trombones, the Valentine's Day Ball of Dr3713 officially began.

Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, the owner of the Whispering Manor, dressed in a brand-new Notre Dame priest's robe and wearing a silver cross, walked slowly out of the corridor on the second floor to the platform where the two stairs meet, announcing the official start of tonight's ball. Then, Yugo Lombard, dressed in a blood-red cloak and Templar armor, and Jade Blue, dressed in a bright red embroidered cheongsam embroidered with a golden dragon and phoenix, walked down the stairs on both sides of the stairs to welcome the guests.

During this time, the iron slag has been hiding in the corner, watching from afar. However, he was soon discovered by the guests and came forward to congratulate him.

Although most of the people present had never heard of this Wilderness Knight and did not know his details, at today's award ceremony, the representatives of the three major faiths actually canonized him at the same time. This means that it doesn't matter what his past is, whether he is an ant or a criminal. The glory in front of him is enough for him to step onto the world stage and enjoy the scenery from above.

Shortly after the dance began, a black stretch car quietly drove into the deep manor and stopped under the porch. After the car stopped, the waiter stepped forward to salute and helped the occupants of the car to open the door. An old butler got out of the car first, followed by a handsome young man.

After getting out of the car, the old housekeeper arranged the collar for the young man and said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, before I came, the eldest young master repeatedly told you not to provoke the third young lady of the Lombal family, do you remember?" ”

"I know this, I haven't provoked her before, let alone now." The third young master of the Reinhardt family, Brian, said.

"The eldest young master also said, let you not provoke Mu Yu Lily of the Valley and Bi Qinglan......" The old butler nodded and continued, but he was quickly interrupted by Brian.

"I know, I know, it's verbose." Brian said impatiently, but the old butler was unmoved, and continued to admonish.

"The eldest young master said that Mu Yu Lily of the Valley, who was born at the bottom, is thoughtful and ruthless at the same time, and Bi Qinglan has the title of a highly poisonous viper in the Far East, and she is a resolute and ruthless woman, and if you collide with them, it is likely that you will suffer."

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to provoke them." Brian frowned and said.

"Also, the eldest young master asked you to avoid conflicts with others as much as possible, since the laboratory incident three years ago, the people of the Crescent Alliance have been staring at us, although they don't have enough evidence, but there are already many big nobles who have become suspicious of us, so we have to keep a low profile as much as possible until the last incident fades out of people's sight."

"Is there something wrong with the brains of those people in the Crescent Alliance? has been staring at our family and biting, do they think that the lion of the West is easy to bully? Brian said indignantly.

"The eldest young master said that even if the lion is fierce, it is afraid of more ants, and it is ......" The old housekeeper paused and said, "The family has not been out of the holy step for several generations, if it were not for this, the master would not have taken the risk to study the forbidden ......" Speaking of this, the old housekeeper sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, in short, you pay attention to proportion, and try not to cause trouble." ”

"yes, got it." Brian nodded, then straightened his chest and turned to walk down the hall.

Looking at the back of the third young master, the old housekeeper sighed again. In fact, he didn't say a word, but today was a happy holiday, and he didn't want to spoil the little master's interest. Although the Reinhardt family is one of the eleventh nobles in the world and sits on the fifth silver city, it has fallen behind and may face the crisis of reshuffling at any time. Of course, this process of shuffling will be very long, at least across several generations. After all, the great nobles of the Silver City World are the cornerstone of the superstructure, and the great nobles have a certain blood relationship with each other, and they are deeply tied to each other. Even emaciated camels are much larger than horses. It is not so easy for the newly rising family to take its place.

According to the past history, every change of great nobles meant a large-scale war. In this war, the new nobles fought over the vacant thrones, while the established nobles secretly supported one side or the other in order to gain the support of the superior in the future. Therefore, this war is bound to be protracted and large-scale, so that the old nobles will not be willing to see a change of power until the last resort. However, if a dark horse appears in this war, it will advance to the throne with an absolute advantage. Well, everything will soon be over. However, for thousands of years, there have been few families that have risen like dark horses.

After entering the hall, Brian, as a nobleman of Silver City, was warmly welcomed. The little nobles stepped forward one after another to extend their deep greetings to him, and many of them also cast fiery glances at him.

"Hello, honorable Lord Brian, my name is Benjamin Rado, I'm from Silver City No. 33 in the Middle Continent, and it's a pleasure to see you tonight." During the conversation, a young man with brown hair and blue eyes stepped forward, bowed slightly, and greeted Brian.

"Hello, Mr. Benjamin." Brian raised his glass.

"I've always heard that the third young master of the Reinhardt family is both civil and military, and has a good demeanor, and it seems that today it is indeed surpassed." Benjamin exclaimed.

"Friend, it's over." Brian smiled and said.

"With all due respect, I think you're supposed to be the protagonist tonight, but it's a pity that you're a few minutes late, otherwise this title would have been yours." Benjamin said with a smile.

"Oh? I would like to congratulate the lucky winner who received this title. Brian asked humbly.

"My lord, I don't want to congratulate that kind of person......" Benjamin leaned forward, glanced at the corner of the iron slag, and said in a low voice, "He is a lowly ground man, and I feel ashamed to be in the same room with him. ”

Brian smiled indifferently and said: "Mr. Benjamin, among the humans living on the ground, there will occasionally be one or two warriors, I think we should face it with a peaceful heart, give them the corresponding opportunities, let them make more contributions to this society, with their efforts, our lives will be better, right?" ”

After listening to Brian's words, Benjamin lowered his head, pondered for a while, then raised his head and said with a little understanding, "You are right, only by being friendly to the ploughing cattle can you have a good harvest, but I am narrow-minded." Benjamin bowed solemnly and said, "I am very sorry for this, and I have made Lord Lord smile." ”

"Don't worry, I thought the same thing a few years ago as you do now." With that, Brian raised his glass to Benjamin. After the two took a sip of wine, Brian smiled and turned to walk to the corner where the iron slag was.

Halfway through, a shadow appeared in Brian's eyes, it was he who was thinking about his dream, and he suddenly quickened his pace and walked over.

"Miss Qinxin, I didn't expect to see you here." Brian stood in front of Mu Yuqin's heart and body, bowed slightly and said. At this moment, there was only this energetic and energetic beautiful girl in his eyes, and the two women and one man beside her were completely regarded as air by him, so that when he stepped forward to greet him, he didn't notice that Mu Yuqin was talking to a young man.

Faced with the sudden interruption, Iron Slag frowned imperceptibly, but did not speak.

Mu Yuqin bowed her head slightly and expressed her greetings. She couldn't remember the man's name, or even if they had met.

"Miss Qin Xin, at last year's college conference, your speech was very wonderful and left a deep impression on me, and I still remember your words and deeds vividly, and I have always remembered them." Brian flattered.

"Oh......" Mu Yuqin said casually. She remembers that at last year's college meeting, she only said one sentence: "Thank you for your support, and please take care of me in the future." ”

Listening to Blair's flattering and flattering words, Iron Slag only felt goosebumps and felt uncomfortable.

"Miss Qin Xin, on this special festival, are you lucky enough to be able to dance with you?" After speaking, Brian stretched out his hand to Mu Yuqinxin and made a standard aristocratic bow.

"I ......" just wanted to refuse, Mu Yuqin remembered that she was wearing an evening dress and refused the invitation of a Yincheng nobleman, which was an unseemly thing for both parties. Thinking of this, she subconsciously turned her head to look at the iron slag, with inquiries and requests for help in her eyes.

"This friend, I'm sorry, she can't dance." Iron Slag stepped forward and stood between the two of them and said.

"You are?" Brian looked up, but found that it was a stranger, so he frowned and asked a little unpleasantly.

"Iron slag, from the ground town of the Northern Wilderness Continent." Iron Slag replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"So you're the man on the ground?" Brian asked, turning his head to look at the young man again, but he didn't notice anything special about the other party.

"Yes." Iron Slag said.

"Hello, I'm Brian Reinhardt." Brian said. In his opinion, as long as he reports his first and last name, the other party will know the difficulty and stop harassing him.

"Hello." Iron Slag replied, but did not mean to get out of the way.

Seeing this, Brian's brow furrowed even deeper. I saw his eyes fixed, and asked in a deep voice, "Ground man, do you know who is standing in front of you at this moment?" ”

"Captain, this is Lord Brian, the third in line to the throne of the Reinhardt family in the Lion City." Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Mu Qianhe hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, "Lord Lord, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Brian was once a celebrity at the academy and only took up his post in the Abyss last July. In Mu Qianhe's opinion, the other party is a great nobleman of Yincheng, and it is not something that the head of the regiment can offend. Even if the head of the regiment has the favor of the princess, it is difficult to compete with it. If the offense is deep, there will be endless troubles. What's more, since ancient times, the great nobles have maintained each other, and no matter how much You Ge protects his shortcomings, it is impossible to break the rules and tear his face for a ground man and a great nobleman in the Lion City.

When Tie Slag heard the identity of the other party, his heart suddenly sank, he knew that the reason why Mu Qianhe rashly interjected was to remind him that the person in front of him was not something he could offend.

"Lord Brian, it's disrespectful......," said Iron Slag, bowing his head, "and forgive me for any neglect just now." ”

Seeing the iron slag saluting, Mu Yuqin's heart suddenly frowned, and she stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Brian, I can't dance." ”

"But......" Brian looked at Mu Yu Qinxin's outfit and hesitated, "You're wearing an evening dress...... After speaking, he raised his head and glanced around, and then whispered, "Miss Qinxin, I have no intention of offending your wishes, but you see, everyone is watching us......"

Mu Yuqin raised her eyes and saw that many guests were looking at this side with curious eyes. If she refuses at this moment, it will be a very embarrassing thing for both of them.

At this moment, Mu Qianhe lifted the hem of his skirt with both hands, bent his knees slightly, and said with his chin bowed: "Dear Lord Brian, Miss Qinxin is a little unwell tonight, does Qianhe have the honor to replace her and dance with the noble lion?" The reason why she took the initiative to invite the dance was because she didn't want Iron Slag to offend this Yincheng nobleman, and she could also see that Iron Slag loved Mu Yuqin's heart more than other girls. In order to ease the atmosphere and eliminate the embarrassment, she had to sacrifice herself.

However, her kindness did not receive any polite response.

"Do you know who you are?" Brian, who was in an irritable mood, frowned and said unceremoniously, "Please get out of the way!" You don't have the right to be compared to Miss Kotoshin. ”

When Iron Slag heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was about to have a seizure, but a soft voice suddenly came from his side.

"Ah~ Isn't this Young Master Brian?" Eva Green walked over and bowed her head.

"Good evening, beautiful Miss Greene." Brian turned in response. Eva Green is Yugo Lombar's confidant and also known as the "Rose of the Temple", even if he is the third young master of the Reinhardt family, he cannot be easily neglected.

"Come on~Dance with me~" Eva said casually.

"Yes, my lady." Brian said with a smile on his face. It wasn't his intention, but at least there was a step down. Taking a step back, Eva is not only a beauty, but also has a corresponding status, and it is also a pleasant and comfortable thing to be able to taste the fragrance.

However, as the two turned to walk to the dance floor, Iron Slag spoke.

"Come back." It's not loud, but it's full of unmistakable meaning. Eva shuddered and couldn't move any longer.

"What's wrong?" Blair stopped and asked.

Eva hesitated for a moment and said politely, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, please ask first." ”

Seeing this, Brian frowned and looked at the iron slag. He also heard that sentence just now, but he never thought that these two rough words could make Eva Green change her mind temporarily.

"Ground man, why are you interfering in my business? Do you know who you're up against? Brian asked, staring into the iron slag's eyes. At this moment, Mu Yuqin stepped forward and hugged the arm of the iron slag, then raised her head and looked at Brian expressionlessly, completely looking like a little woman who supported her lover.

Suddenly, Brian only felt a rush of hot blood rushing to the top of his head, and the fierce jealousy burned his internal organs, almost making him crazy on the spot. Finally reason was fading, and rage was gradually taking over his heart.

Seconds later, in a deathly silence, Brian burst out laughing. It's not loud, but it's enough to attract the attention of the guests around you.

After a while, he put away his smile and looked around the hall with a cold gaze, and when he had attracted enough attention, he pointed to the iron slag and said loudly: "This ground man is the bravest ground man I have ever seen. ”

"His bravery and fearlessness for life and death are truly admirable."

"But......" said Brian, in a long voice, "I've seen a lot of people in my life who get carried away, and who do a little thing, and then get complacent, and look nothing. ”

"Can anyone tell me what kind of glory an ant on the ground has achieved so that he can forget his humble identity and dare to challenge the lion."

As soon as the words ended, there was silence in the hall of Nuoda. In just a moment, Brian and Iron Slag were the center of attention.

Immediately after, Iron Slag strode forward, squinting at Brian, while his body bent slightly, tensing the muscles of his body, like a fierce beast with hair standing on end and lying dormant on the ground.

"Look for death!" Brian looked fierce and squeezed two words between his teeth. With his strength, with his identity, erasing this person is like crushing an ant. He secretly gathered spiritual energy, ready to kill the opponent with one blow. He believed that in the event of a conflict between the two of them, the petty nobles present would definitely help him, and the people of Notre-Dame, the organizer of the ball, would also help him. In any case, he is the pinnacle of power in the world, the great nobleman of Silver City, and the object of all forces. Next, even if the other party can withstand the impact of his spiritual energy, he will not be able to resist the siege of everyone. At that time, this humble ground man will see his identity clearly at the cost of his life.

However, just before Brian's eyes glowed with blue light and he was about to release the psionic impact, a clear voice suddenly burst out of the air.

"I can tell you!"

The crisp and bright sound was like the hum of a long sword unsheathed, and the echo of the gold and jade strikes pierced through everyone's souls.

"Or I'll tell you."

Immediately after, the second voice came majestically, calm as water, calm as a mountain, but also hidden with a mighty anger, like a lava undersurge, dull and silent volcano.

"It seems that I can only add~"

The third voice was full of ecstasy, but the blurred tone was full of cold murderous intentions, like a fine needle hidden in cotton wool, which made people feel frightened, and the hands and feet were cold, like being bitten by a poisonous snake.

Before everyone could react, the three girls came out and stood side by side behind the iron slag. Bryan's eyes widened the whole time, and his expression was completely incredulous. The scene in front of me suddenly felt like a dream, as if nothing was real.

"Give you two choices......" You Ge said lightly.

"Apologize to him......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley continued.

"Or a duel with him." Bi Qinglan finished the last sentence.

Listening to the words of the three girls, Brian suddenly came to his senses. At this moment, he finally remembered that the Benjamin Rado he had talked to was a member of the princess's guard.

From the moment he stepped into the hall, he fell into the trap set by them, whose ultimate goal was to use his body as Brian Reinhardt, the third in line to the throne of the Lion City, as a stepping stone for the young man in front of him.

They seemed to give him two choices, but there was only one.

Duel?

The other party came prepared, and he must be the one who loses. And if they can do this, it means that in a duel, his opponent will not hesitate to kill him, and will never care about the revenge of the Reinhardt family. It was only then that he remembered his eldest brother's instructions, but it was already too late. He could only comfort himself that three people who couldn't be messed with were calculating him at the same time, what could he do.

After thinking through all the questions, Brian, who had conceded defeat in the gamble, bowed deeply to the iron slag and said solemnly: "Dear Mr. Iron Slag, I extend my deepest apologies to you for your rude behavior just now...... He bowed again and said, "I beg your forgiveness." ”

When the other man had finished nodding, he turned and walked away, leaving the ball hall without looking back.

Perhaps, tomorrow's lace news in the newspapers will mention this "insignificant" little thing for people to entertain after tea and dinner. And this young man will step on his head and become the man of the year in the entire Silver City world.

There is an idiom in the Far East, called killing chickens and monkeys, and there is a glory in the West, called Dragon Slaying Warriors.

(Volume 10, end)

PS：

Ladies and gentlemen, I was depressed last time, and I am sorry to complain to you.

During this time, everyone's comforting comfort and supportive support made me feel a lot better, and my heart was warm. Although we have never met, we really have a lot of friends who have made friends with books. When I first started writing, I just wanted to write something I wanted to write, and I didn't think much about it. It wasn't until I wrote the second book that I felt that I had more friends and my writing skills improved. However, after writing the book for a long time, I found that it was a little different from the original idea. Whenever I see the weak data, I feel that my blood freezes and my inspiration fades......

It seems that life is still inseparable from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and it was too simple to think about at first.

After going through the ups and downs, I felt like I was picking myself up again and regaining my original enthusiasm. Now I write not only for myself, but also for my friends who support me!

Suddenly, as if I heard the horn of the deep sea blow again, I, as the captain of the ship, sounded the whistle.

Set sail, friends!

Next stop, the Endless Sea.

And then......

Please smash our deep-sea fishing boats with subscriptions and monthly passes, which will allow me to exchange more cigarettes and fuel to run faster and farther!
