Chapter 2 Going to the Feast
That night, Kane sat on Raymond's shoulder and went to the place of the feast, the Sith family, another prominent family in the city.
Raymond is one of Blair's many followers, and the most loyal personal bodyguard, a great swordsman, Kane once heard Blair say that if Raymond went to participate in the evaluation, it was estimated that he could easily get the title of Silver Knight.
Swordsmen are different from knights, swordsmen are a combat profession like magicians, and it is also a way of cultivation on the mainland, and swordsmen are also divided into ranks, in order of junior swordsmen, intermediate swordsmen, senior swordsmen, great swordsmen, swordsmen, great swordsmen, sword masters, and sword gods.
The knight on the continent belongs to a more special title, knights are not nobles, but they are more respected than nobles, the early knights are actually an honorary title for soldiers serving in the army, at that time this title did not have practical significance, it just represents a noble spirit.
But with the evolution of history, the title of knight has gradually become synonymous with another kind of aristocracy, the most important thing is that this kind of aristocracy does not have high restrictions on origin and background, only limited by character and strength, so this is equivalent to opening up a green channel for the lower class people to change their own destiny.
There are also ranks of knights, from the lowest to the highest, they are apprentice, black iron, bronze, silver, gold, and Templar Knight, although the Templar is the highest title among them, but there are two very special beings above it, that is, the Paladin and the Dragon Knight.
Paladins are the exclusive patron knights of the Holy See, the backbone of the Holy See to eradicate infidels, entering the Holy See to serve the gods is every knight's lifelong dream, their title will be preceded by a holy word, the Holy See will also add a golden wing icon representing the guardian of the gods on their knight coat of arms.
According to the book, the dragon knight has gradually disappeared in the long river of history with the disappearance of the dragon, but he truly represents the highest honor of knights, and a dragon knight may have thousands of knights willing to pay for it with their lives.
Although Kane had no concept of the Great Swordsman and the Silver Knight, he had seen Raymond easily cut off the thick steel bar of his arm with a large sword, and this scene had a strong shock in his little heart, and if it weren't for Blair's demand that he must become a magician, Kane would have been happy to become a swordsman.
Since Kane's magic enlightenment, Blair has arranged Raymond to Kane's side as his bodyguard, and every time he goes out, he must be followed by such a big man, Raymond does not smile, and Kane respects him very much.
Next to them were two noble and ornate carriages, on which sat Blair and Dicin, and Kane should have been on them, but he preferred to stay on Raymond's shoulder, so that he could see the majestic buildings and the people passing along the way, which Kane rarely had the opportunity to see.
The group attracted admiring glances from the streets, and everyone knew that on the splendid carriage sat a remarkable figure, and there was a huge statue of this figure in a garden in the west of the city.
But then Kane unceremoniously snatched all of Blair's scenery.
"Is this the Earl's little son? God, he is so lovely, his eyes are even more beautiful than the stars in the sky. ”
"You can see how smooth his blonde hair is, I swear he's definitely the best in Honoris City!"
"I really want to touch his cute little face!"
A barrage of compliments came from the mouths of passers-by, and Kane, though he thought it would help him to be more convinced of his identity, was old enough to be shy, so he reluctantly asked Raymond to put him back in Blair's car.
Blair held him in his lap, and for Kane, he gave almost all of his love.
"Hehe, when grandpa was your age, he could only huddle up in a dark hut all day, and he had to do things for others hungry, and when it rained, grandpa could only sleep under the bed. Blair's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Don't the people in the family care about grandpa?" asked Kane, looking confused.
Blair sighed, "At that time, there was no Rett family, but all this is in the past, grandpa is now a master admired by the world, and Kane will never have to suffer like that." ”
"If my grandfather hadn't become a master, would I have been like my grandfather when I was a child?"
Blair smiled, "Yes, so Kane must be as strong as his grandfather in the future, or even surpass his grandfather, otherwise your grandson may be even more bitter in the future." ”
Blair laughed at himself again, Kane is only six years old now, and his grandson doesn't know where he is, "Do you know why grandpa took you to tonight's banquet?"
Kane shook his head.
Blair stroked his head with one hand, "Because tonight Grandpa will meet an old friend, he has a beautiful and lovely granddaughter, and Grandpa wants to introduce Kane to him." ”
Kane nodded, thinking that she must be the little friend her mother said.
The carriage stopped after a while, and apparently reached its destination, where a sumptuous middle-aged couple greeted them.
"Welcome Master Blair to the Humble House, the Sith family is flourishing!" the two bowed.
Blair got out of the carriage with Kane in his arms and handed Kane to Raymond before returning the salute slightly.
"Has Lord Bryn arrived?"
"Your Excellency hasn't arrived yet, please go inside first and wait for a while. ”
Blair nodded, and led the Dicks into the Sith family's hall, and Kane also got down from Raymond and took Britney's hand forward.
The prominence of the Sith family is still above the Reit family, before Blair established the Reiter family, it was already a famous family in the city of Gnoris, and the patriarch Frank Sith inherited the position of marquis, he is also the highest person in the city of Gnoris, belonging to the nobility of the nobility.
The banquet had not yet begun, and there were only a few families in the hall who arrived first, and when they saw Blair, they all got up and saluted, Blair smiled and saluted them, and Kane was immediately surrounded by a group of noble ladies, and Britney was pulled to the side of the big sofa.
Kane couldn't understand what they were saying, but was touched by a pair of fat hands, and although the ladies praised him for being so cute, Kane would rather stand quietly by the door like Raymond at this moment.
Then the various families in the city arrived one by one, and Kane couldn't count how many big hands he had touched, but then there were more children, and they shared a lot of pressure for him.
There was a sudden noise outside the door, and the hall fell silent, and the noblewoman's attention moved to the door, Kane felt much better, and heard a group of people coming outside the door on horseback, and the louder sound of the horses' hooves was the sound of armor rubbing against each other.
Both Frank and Blair got up and walked out, followed by the patriarchs of the various families, Kane didn't understand what was going on, and after a while he heard a loud laugh, and Blair pulled in with an old man in his fifties with a stubble on his face and a golden armor.
"I haven't seen each other for a few years, and we've all become old men. The man took Blair's hand and said with a smile.
"No, you and I are useless. Blair was also full of joy.
"It is a great honor to have Master Blair and Master Brin here today, and the Sith family is honored to invite the two of them to take a seat. Frank Schleigh said.
Blair smiled and pulled Brin into his seat, and the two talked about a lot of old adult things as if no one was around, and Brin's wife was also pulled over by Britney and others, and Kane saw that she was holding a little girl of four or five years old, and his eyes were immediately attracted to it.
The little girl had a round face, her eyes were black like Lord Brin's, her long brown hair was slightly curled like a wave, and her eyes were full of curiosity, and she looked at Kane when she saw that she was looking at her.
"This must be Lia, it's so cute. Britney also saw the little girl.
Mrs. Brin also immediately noticed Kane on the side, and praised him again and again, Kane was a little surprised to see the girl with a pink face, and Mrs. Bryn did not listen to a word of what Mrs. Bryn said.
"What's your name?" Mrs. Bryn pulled Kane over.
"Kane—" Kane replied honestly, not afraid of the kind-looking old woman.
"What a lovely little guy. Mrs. Bryn also made her signature gesture of treating children, gently stroking Kane's blonde hair.
Kane wasn't very disgusted by her touching, but still looked at Leah curiously.
"Are you my fiancé?" said Lia suddenly, causing a burst of laughter from the women around her.
"What's a fiancé?" Kane hadn't touched the word.
The women laughed even more enthusiastically, amused by the words of the two children, and Kane was still puzzled, and saw Leah walk up to him, Kane did not understand what she was going to do.
Leah looked at him for a moment and suddenly grabbed his hair, "I like your hair, let's change it." After saying that, he pulled Kane's hair and pulled it up.
Kane and the ladies around him were frightened by this move, and Mrs. Bryn hurriedly let go of Leah's little hand.
"Leah, how can a lady do such a thing, you see you scared him. Mrs. Bryn pulled Leah in an angry tone.
"I want his hair. ”
Leah looked at Kane, who was hiding behind Britney, with a straight face.
"You let me be your fiancé, and I'll give you my hair. Suddenly, a six- or seven-year-old child walked out.
The ladies began to laugh again, and although Britney was a little dissatisfied with Leah's previous actions, it was difficult to say anything in this case, and besides, Leah didn't have much strength, and Kane wasn't substantially hurt.
Kane felt a little dislike for this arrogant little girl, thinking that the word fiancé might mean something bad.
"Who are you?" asked Leah as she walked out to the little boy.
The little boy somewhere learned the etiquette, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, and said, "I'm Ellen Sith, and my father is Frank." ”
"It turned out to be the son of the Marquis of Frank, what a natural nobleman, you see how polite he is. The woman beside her praised one after another.
"I am a knight, noble lady. Alan hurriedly corrected, causing another burst of laughter around.
"I don't want your hair, I want his!" Jarie pointed at Kane, not giving the knight the slightest face.
Allen's little face was unhappy when he heard him say that, and he saluted again, "Then let me be your faithful follower, beautiful lady, and I will defend your integrity with my life." ”
"Don't talk nonsense. A gentleman next to him immediately stopped him, and the knight's oath was no child's play.
Alan looked at his uncle and said, "I don't talk nonsense, I want to be her follower, only a brave and noble knight is worthy to stand beside such a beautiful young lady, I don't want to be like him and only hide behind women." Alan pointed at Kane with a serious expression.
The ladies saw that Alan's behavior was becoming less and less like a child, and they hurriedly persuaded him not to talk nonsense.
Kane's mind was a little confused, and he didn't understand why this kid was slandering himself.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Master Brynn's voice coming, "Serena, bring Leah over to meet Master Blair." ”
Mrs. Bryn smiled and pulled Leah to the table, and Blair told Britney to take Kane over.
"Now that the situation in Voss City is tense, I will rush back to the imperial capital early tomorrow morning to attend the imperial meeting, and the two children's affairs can only be put aside for now. After complimenting Kane, Brin said with some regret.
"I've heard a little about this, and now I should naturally focus on state affairs, and the two children's affairs are nothing, and I have decided to wait for Kane to send him to the Demon Martial Arts Academy to study after the completion of the ceremony, and then they will have the opportunity to get in touch." Blair said, looking at Kane.
"Oh, I forgot that you are still the honorary vice president of the Demon Martial Arts Academy, so it's okay to let him live in my mansion when the time comes. ”
Brin is the supreme general of Voss City, the western fortress of the empire, and is equivalent to the guardian of the western gate of the empire, so although he has a large mansion in the imperial capital, he rarely lives in it, and usually his wife takes Ria to live in it.
Brin has two sons, the eldest son Louis died in a war a few years ago, Louis is Leah's father, and Leah's mother is also overly sad because of her husband's death, and she also died after giving birth to Leah, and now only the second son Leo is left with his father to guard the border all the year round.
Although Brin is also a marquis, he is one of the few marquis who really relied on his outstanding military exploits, so he has a very high reputation in both the army and the country, and although Frank and others are also marquises, they have to call him an adult.
And the Demon Martial Academy is the largest academy in the imperial capital, and it can also be said to be the best academy in the Longling Empire, Blair is the magic advisor and honorary vice president of the academy, this title is more just a name, only when the academy encounters insurmountable problems, they will be invited to the academy to study together, and there are probably dozens of vice deans like this.
Blair nodded, and Brin smiled mysteriously and said, "This kid shouldn't be the same as Di Xing, right?"
Blair naturally understood what he was referring to, and said with a smile: "Of course it's different, you just wait and be surprised." ”
"Oh, isn't it—" Brin saw Blair's expression, and after half a sentence, he looked at him and laughed, and said, "Then I picked up a bargain this time." ”
"Haha, it's still too early to say who picks up who is cheap. "Blair is cunning.
Kane didn't understand what they were saying, and only looked at Leah with some fear, and from the look in her eyes, it was clear that she hadn't given up on her hair.
