"Dear Mr. Peter, I am glad to hear that you, a member of the Vladimir family, have come to the city of Ural as a guest, and the weather is fine today, so I would like to invite the nobles of the city to the forest of my manor to hold a winter hunting party to celebrate the imminent arrival of spring and welcome guests from afar.

"Kaliliana? Lotnikov. ”

This is a delicate and beautiful invitation, the paper is hard and delicate, printed with sunflower patterns. It is written in a beautiful and beautiful brushstroke, which is different from the lingua franca, and the invitation has a faint sweet fragrance, so that when you read it, you will see a mature and beautiful lady writing carefully with a quill.

"Baroness Carliliana......" Lucien only heard the name from Sergei, who was suspected of being a fraudster, at noon, and received her invitation at this time, although he was not afraid of the fraud gang in his own strength, he still seemed a little hesitant.

After lunch, Berf, Lena and other members of the caravan who were chatting with Lucien were silent after reading the invitation, and asked curiously: "Mr. Peter, which nobleman of Ulla City invited you?" Hehe, if it weren't for your noble status on this journey, how could we have arrived in Ural City so quickly. ”

Similar invitations Lucien received many times. When many lords heard that a member of the Vladimir family had come to their territory, they would invite him to visit him out of curiosity and friendship, and Lucien would basically happily go to the banquet in order not to attract attention and maintain the etiquette and enthusiasm for communication that a normal nobleman should have.

Although the lords often became cold when they learned that "Peter" was only the son of the lord and had not inherited the title, their invitation alone saved Lucien and the four or five caravans he had joined from making it through the Shahran Empire.

"It was an invitation from Baroness Cariliana. "The Shahran Empire was vast, with twenty-three provinces and hundreds of states. There were many nobles in each state, so Lucien only knew more clearly about Count Werther, the great lord of the Urals, and it was difficult for a minor nobleman like the baroness to inquire about them all. At this time, he answered his questions honestly, in order to know the details of his situation from the mouths of merchants, who had been doing business in the province of Kinov for many years.

After drinking black mace at noon, Berf's face was ruddy, and his nose was even more red. He laughed, "It turned out to be Baroness Carliliana." Mr. Peter, she was a well-known beauty in the Urals, and she was a widow. He inherited the title and fortune of Baron Lotnikov. I don't know how many aristocratic young masters in Lu Dao hope to be favored by her, and put the title, manor and beauty in their pockets. ”

Drunk, his expression and eyes were extremely ambiguous, as if to imply that Lucien had gone to the peach blossom luck, maybe he could taste the taste of beauty, and even go further to hug the beauty.

Whether they are old or young, most men always inevitably have such a ridiculous attitude when talking about similar topics.

Irina, a blonde maiden in the caravan, added with some sullenness, "Baroness Kaliliana is known among the nobility as the 'Black Widow' and the 'Fox of Vanity'. Because she herself was from a noble family, and she was also the niece of the second lady of the earl, but for the sake of the title and property of Baron Lotnikov, she abandoned many noble young masters who pursued her, and married this widower, who was forty-six years older than her and had no heir. The result is less than five years. Baron Lotnikov, who was still in good health, became old and sickly, and was soon called by the Lord's grace. ”

Although it is time to call Kaliliana a baroness, the people of the Urals still habitually call her Baroness.

"Irina, don't talk nonsense about these rumors. A more stable gentleman in the caravan reminded with a serious expression that this was not a tavern, not a wilderness, but a high-class hotel in the city of Urals, and that the nobles of the Shahran Empire were far more corrupt and barbaric than those ruled by the Southern Church, and that it was not uncommon for them to be punished with a whip for speaking ill of the nobles in private meetings.

Belf waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, how could the matter of Baroness Carliliana spread everywhere without the acquiescence of the nobles? Anyway, it didn't matter to them what Baroness Cariliana's character or reputation was, but what mattered was her title, possessions, and her wonderful body. ”

"But Baroness Carliliana's character is really bad, and only half a year after the death of Baron Lotnikov, she began to invite young nobles to banquets and balls, extravagant and erosive. Lena didn't like the baroness either.

Lucien smiled and said, "Anyway, since the baroness invited, the caravan will have to wait a few days before leaving, as a qualified nobleman, he must not live up to the hospitality of his master." ”

With his nobility, Lucien was able to reach the two provinces two provinces away from the Duchy of Vaorit so smoothly, but because of his nobility, many unnecessary entertainments had to be attended, which was both advantageous and disadvantageous. Since Baroness Carliliana has also invited other nobles, there should be no danger in this winter hunting party, as for scams or something, as long as you are not greedy, you will not be deceived.

And his main purpose is to pass through the Shahran Empire, and he is also strictly a liar.

The eyes of several caravan members became complicated, some laughing and joking, some ambiguously teasing, some pouting and unhappy, and some disdainfully, looking like you are the hypocritical aristocrat I expected......

Lucien straightened his clothes, got up with a smile, and politely said goodbye: "Everyone, see you tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, Lucien closed the "Actor's Self-cultivation" that was open in the soul library.

............

The earth was white, the conifers shook off the snow from time to time, and a number of mighty black Ural dogs roared and ran through the snow, driving out the gray-white fur rabbits and other prey from their hiding places, causing them to flee in panic.

Suddenly, a long arrow flew from afar in a graceful arc and accurately hit a gray long-haired rabbit.

There was applause in different places in the sparse forest, and a young nobleman said to the woman next to him flatteringly: "Kaliliana, your archery skills have improved again, and a rabbit from such a distance can shoot so easily." ”

Kaliliana raised her hunting bow rather proudly, then turned to Lucien and said, "Mr. Peter, it's time for you to show off your archery skills." The Vladimir family has produced many archers. ”

She was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with long blond hair pulled up, and big blue eyes that often smiled. The lips are slightly thick but red and sexy, and with a tight-fitting black hunting suit, the whole person exudes a mature and charming charm, which makes the eyes of many young nobles around her look at her full of love and lust. It is a rare stunner.

It can be seen that Lucien, who has seen a truly stunning beauty, just glanced at it appreciatively, and replied politely: "Xie Lu, Lady Kaliliana, your praise." The archers are the glory of the family. Hehe, maybe my archery skills are not as good as yours, after all, I am better at hand-to-hand combat. ”

As he spoke, Lucien pointed to the two longswords hanging from them, then picked up the longbow, aimed it in the distance, and shot an arrow.

The main point of a bow and arrow is to have a steady hand and an accurate eye. This didn't have any problem with Lucien, and the long arrow flew out of the canopy and pierced a rabbit undisturbed by the cold wind.

"Mr. Peter, you are too modest, such archery skills are close to knights. Can you teach me?" Karilina's blue eyes sparkled as she looked at Lucien with obvious admiration.

Her attitude caused the other young nobles to be dissatisfied, and one of the black-haired nobles picked up the longbow and said, "Kaliliana, he is only close to the knight's archery, I will show you the real knight's archery!"

With that, he shook his bowstring, and the long arrow shot out as if wrapped in crimson flames, and in a short moment it shot through a giant tree, knocking the Kinov snow beast hiding behind the giant tree to the ground, and it was shot in the eyeball, without hurting the fur.

When he was done, he triumphantly turned to look at Lucian and Kaliliana, "Peter, how is it?" Of course, if you think you're stronger in swordsmanship, we can also give it a try. ”

Before Lucien could speak, Kaliliana smiled coquettishly, "Balshak, you have a good supernatural longbow. ”

After a subtle nod, Carilina's courtesan seemed to be able to talk and hunt with the young nobles, keeping the atmosphere more harmonious and warm.

............

In the forest in the distance, two men in black cloaks watched Kaliliana and them quietly, and when the young nobles dispersed in order to offer more precious prey to the object of their affection, the man in black with an ordinary figure said in a very ordinary voice: "Miyaka, you wait to turn into a winter bear and raid Kaliliana." Be careful, the first blow must be in the air, and then attack the handsome blonde nobleman next to her. Wait until you've fought for a while and you've wounded him, and then you pretend to be unstoppable and run away. ”

"No problem, Nyak. The tall man in black squirmed strangely, a light gray light covered him, and by the time the light faded, he had turned into a white terrifying bear.

This is an ordinary magical creature in the Shahran Empire, and ordinary adults have the strength of a full-fledged knight just by virtue of their strength.

Niak chuckled twice: "Miyaka, don't try too hard, lest you defeat him by accident." In addition, you must be real when you pretend to fail, so that he himself feels that he has defeated you and forced you to flee in panic. ”

"Nyak, rest assured. To deal with this kind of aristocratic young master, I am very sure and guarantee that the performance will be as real as it is. With the help of her white fur, Miyaka quietly approached Kaliliana and Lucien and the others.

After a few minutes, Nyak watched from afar as the giant winter bear emerged from the snowdrift and pounced on Kaliliana, causing her to scream in terror.

In her panic, she narrowly escaped the Winter Bear's attack and hid beside Lucian.

The Winter Bear then swung its terrifying paw at Lucien, seemingly standing between Kaliliana and the monster.

"Well done. Niac praised in his heart, "When you have wounded him, you will feign defeat and flee." ”

Suddenly, a crystal sword light lit up, and a dull sound came, and the winter bear fell in front of Lucien's dragon scale horse without warning, splashing snowflakes in all directions!

Lucien, who was on the horse, held a dark blue metal sword in his hand, his back was straight, and he watched the light gray light on the winter bear's body bloom plainly and strangely, revealing the original appearance of the man in black.

Niack's mouth opened wide, and his jaw seemed to fall off to the ground: "What's going on?!" (To be continued.) )
