Plantagetown, the central gate.

The central gate, where there is usually no more than one carriage for half a day, is very lively at this time, and every once in a while a noble carriage will stop for a while and then whizz by. Today's gate guards were amazed.

After the incident of half a month ago, the current city gate guards have already undergone a major purge. Jack, the city gate official who was in charge of the daily life of the city defense, was directly arrested for "treason", and his life and death are still unknown. The original guards of the city gate were also scattered and sent to the localities.

The current city gate guards are all drawn from the elite troops on the front line, ensuring that they have nothing to do with the nobles in the city.

That night, after seeing his former boss Jack dragged away like a dead dog, Jim, a first-order warrior, and Bernie, a swordsman, secretly rejoiced. If it hadn't been for the orders of the little master that day, it is really hard to say whether the two of them would be able to stand on this city gate today. After all, Lord Viscount was known for his ruthlessness in dealing with his enemies.

At this moment, another carriage roared towards him.

Unlike the previous ornate carriages decorated with gold and silver ornaments, this carriage looked unusually simple, and there were no guards even on the side of the carriage, only a coachman drove in front.

However, the squad leader Gna did not dare to slack off at all, and those who dared to go through the central gate must be nobles, and those nobles were far from being offended by a middle-level apprentice of his.

Standing at the gate of the city, looking at the carriage parked in front of him, Gna saluted and said politely: "Please show your token".

The carriage door was opened, and through the door, Gerner saw a familiar figure, and before the man could speak, "pop", Gna, who was originally a little loose, immediately saluted a standard military salute, and said very excitedly:

"Third Legion, 38th Squad, Squad Leader Gna met Captain Patton."

Barton looked at the extremely excited Gna and nodded, "Do a good job, don't lose the people of our Third Legion." The thick palm patted Gna's body, "Yes, it is worthy of our Third Legion, that is, strong."

Then the coachman set up the carriage and roared past. Only Gnar was left behind, looking at the car in the distance with an excited face.

At this time, another squad leader standing on the side, after seeing this scene, couldn't help it anymore, and dared to ask his top boss, the first-order soldier Jim: "My lord, what day did you say today, so many big people have arrived, and the manpower has doubled, and even you have come to inspect it in person today."

Jim looked at the intersection and saw that there was no one, so he said in a loud voice: "Today is the day of the little master's apprenticeship, and Lord Viscount specially invited a second-order silver mage to hold a banquet for this."

Because he had just been transferred, the news was not well-informed, and the squad leader said with some doubts: "My lord, is it just because of the apprenticeship that you are making such a big move? Even Captain Patton has come over in person."

Patton, who has been guarding the fortress all year round, will not easily leave the fortress unless there is a major matter to discuss.

Looking at the team leader with a puzzled face, as well as the soldiers on the side who had already pricked up their ears to eavesdrop, Jim laughed and said proudly to the people around him: "You don't know this, this time the little master is going to test his talent in front of many people."

Over the years, because of Al's seclusion, the people of Plantagenet have a sense of anxiety about the next generation of successors, and some allies and minor nobles in the territory have also discussed this. So the viscount deliberately arranged a public talent test to stabilize people's hearts.

After all, in a few months, it will be a once-in-a-century Warcraft siege, and stability will override everything.

After a pause, Jim whispered, "I heard that this time we are going to be engaged to the daughter of the city lord of Rand in the city next door."

Looking at the guards around him who suddenly realized it, and the hustle and bustle, Jim said solemnly: "Give me some spirits, all the big people who came today are big shots, and if anyone dares to relax, labor and management will pull his skin."

......

Halfway up the mountain, in the inner city of Plantagenet.

El condescendingly watched as the luxurious carriages came from all directions, and when they arrived at the inner city, the ladies and nobles dressed in fancy clothes entered the hall under the guidance of their servants.

Polly and a group of maids on the side were waiting for the servant Al to put on the banquet clothes.

For a long time, Al still didn't move, just stared out the window. Polly saw that the time was almost up, and boldly asked, "Master, it's not too early."

However, at this time, Al was thinking about what the Viscount had said to him.

"Al, tonight's banquet will test your talents in public to stabilize people's hearts."

"Got it, Father, I know it's my responsibility." At that time, Al replied briskly, after all, he had already known his talent through the system, and it would not be a big deal to test it in public when the time came.

Then he never expected that the viscount would say later, "This banquet, the lord of the nearby Sihe City Rand will bring her daughter to attend."

"Yes, father, I'll take care of you." At the time, Al still didn't hear the voiceover.

"When the time comes, after testing your talent in public, you and the daughter of the Lord of Rand will meet, if there is no problem, I and the Lord of Rand will announce in public the news that the two of you will be engaged after a while, and Plantagenet will also form an alliance with River City."

"Ahh I thought it was just an ordinary banquet, but I didn't expect so many twists and turns, and more importantly, I was so engaged?

"It's too soon, I'm only twelve years old, I've never seen each other, I'm still a child," Al wailed inwardly.

Seeing that El didn't speak, the viscount continued: "I have asked someone to inquire about Rant's daughter, she is very beautiful, her talent is not bad, she is already a senior apprentice this year, and she is about to enter the profession.

"I'm six years older than you, but I don't think it's a problem."

I knew that I enjoyed the rights in the family, and naturally had obligations, and my marriage might not be so free. When he first came, Al also made a special inquiry that he didn't have a fiancée, and he was relieved at that time, but he didn't expect that he was happy too early. Al sneered.

What's more, I actually want to marry a woman who is six years older than me, I am twelve this year, and she will not be eighteen.

Inexplicably started a relationship, sister and brother love, which made Al a headache. Since my father has decided, I naturally can't refuse.

However, the thought of inexplicably announcing that he was going to be engaged tonight still made Al very uncomfortable.

And her cousin, Chrissy, has not appeared for so many days, she will definitely appear at such an important banquet tonight, how should she face it then.

This is also the reason why Al has not gone out for a long time, and he has a headache.
