Dressed in new clothes, Luo Ming stepped out of the carriage with Charlotte and Grant and looked around.

Although it is not the most top-notch feast, the banquet hosted by the princess is definitely first-class.

There were more than a dozen participants on the road, and it is expected that there will be nearly 100 participants in total. There must have been dozens of attendants serving this group of people, so it was no wonder that a large royal courtyard was used as a banquet venue.

However, the Duchy seems to be a bit of a simple tradition, and the banquet venue is more atmospheric and simple, without the extravagance and waste of extravagance.

However, Rao was like this, and Aya quickly came to a conclusion to Luo Ming: this banquet would cost about a few hundred gold coins.

Maybe it was Luo Ming's advice that made Her Royal Highness the princess more wealthy.

Today, all three of them are wearing new clothes, and although they are not very flashy types for this occasion, they are also very decent.

Luo Ming's body slightly eased his somewhat exaggerated sharpness, and was a little more soothing. Although Granty's clothes are not at all gorgeous, they reflect her heroic spirit and are generous.

Charlotte herself is also a beauty, and the three of them walking together naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Clothes are not the only thing, temperament is also very important. The self-confidence of crisscrossing the battlefield, the consciousness of killing cousins to protect the glory of the family...... This is especially true in this world with supernatural powers.

Although all three were armed with swords, they were to hand over their weapons to the attendants for safekeeping before entering the venue.

This was originally an effective measure to prevent assassination or impulsive drawing of a sword to hurt people during the banquet, so Luo Ming didn't care.

Besides, don't look at him with his bare hands, he can also blow up any weak person under the sword master in an instant, hand knives, fists, eagle claws, and elastic legs, this is no joke.

His master has no fighting spirit, and he can still rely on a pair of fleshy palms to break the boulder the size of the millstone into two pieces.

However, he did not expect that this would be the beginning of another incident.

Along the way, Charlotte greeted the nobles she knew from time to time, and at the same time pulled Luo Ming to introduce them.

And Luo Ming really doesn't know many nobles, and occasionally there are a few, that is, none of the people who came to Luo Ming to learn swordsmanship during this time are people Charlotte doesn't know.

Just then, Granty patted him on the back, and he turned around to see a familiar face.

"Isn't this Mr. Hendrick?"

As he spoke, Luo Ming walked forward enthusiastically and shook his hand.

While shaking hands, he introduced Charlotte: "This is Mr. Hendrick of the Grek family, a talented mage. ”

"Mr. Luo Ming?" the man was taken aback at first, and then immediately recalled Luo Ming's identity and smiled enthusiastically.

Hendrik, that was Login's companion when he first arrived in the Duchy and went on his first mercenary mission in the city of Bijin.

He was also one of the few survivors of the necromancer incident.

At that time, Luo Ming still wanted to be close to him, although he was only the second son of the viscount's family, and it was difficult to inherit the family business, but after all, he was a mage with a noble status.

As a result, Luo Ming has become a knight, and his own strength has reached the level of a swordsman, and the two should treat each other completely equally, and even Hendrick is vaguely inferior to him.

Although Luo Ming is basically not jealous of others, the fact that he surpasses others still brings a pleasant mood.

Looking at Hendrick's ruddy face and his usual movements, it looked like his injuries had healed. Although he was attacked by a necromancer with a bone spear at the time, he was probably treated with spells and drank a lot of potions, so his recovery was not slow.

"There were no after-effects from that injury, did it?" asked Luo Ming in a familiar tone like an old friend.

"It's okay, it's all cured now. Hendrick laughed, "When I saw you, I wanted to repay you for this life-saving grace by introducing you to a chance to become a nobleman."

But you should have become a nobleman now, and you don't need me to meddle in things, next time this favor will pay you back in other aspects. ”

"Thank you, you really have a heart. Luo Ming also laughed, "As the second son, there must be something unsatisfactory, right? ”

His subtext is, if you have a way to become a nobleman with a fief, I can help, if you really can't inherit the family business and are kicked out of the house, come to me.

After all, he is a knowledgeable aristocratic mage, and if he can recruit him, Luo Ming is also willing to smash the pot and sell iron.

Who knows, when Hendrik talked about this, although his face was still not very good-looking, he was also a little happy.

"Hmph, that guy is still in the spot, but he's already shown his incompetence...... Sooner or later, the position of head of the family will be mine. ”

Luo Ming was a little surprised, but quickly came back to his senses and congratulated him on the prospect of inheriting the family business.

However, he also reminded: "If you are very sure of taking the position of head of the family, then it is better to act safely, not too aggressively and impatiently, so as not to give people any words."

If your brother dies of a violent illness, you won't be able to clear your suspicion even if you jump into the moat. ”

"Haha, I'll pay attention, it looks like I'm going to have to get a doctor for that guy. Hendrik laughed.

Looking at the exchange between the two, Granty pursed her lips, and Charlotte was a little surprised.

(What does this guy mean by Lomin? Is this Mr. Hendrick just laughing at his brother's frailty, or is he really planning to murder his brother to claim the inheritance?)

After a while of greetings, the two also closed the conversation.

Hendrik then rushed to Charlotte.

Luo Ming saw very clearly that this was not a sign of admiration, but an attitude of simply wanting to make one more friend. Charlotte's abilities aside, her status as the princess's best friend is probably what Hendrick cares about the most.

There was a glint of ambition in his eyes.

Although Charlotte didn't seem to appreciate it, and Grant was not interested in talking to him much, he politely said goodbye to the three of them, without revealing the slightest resentment of being treated coldly.

Hendrick's ambition is really not small, and he takes almost every opportunity to make friends who can "deserve to be useful", but this is actually a good thing for Lomin.

An ambitious and capable friend is a help to Luo Ming.

As for the threat of Hendrick's ambition, Luo Ming didn't think he would suffer from it—by the time the other party's ambition swelled further, he might have become a behemoth that the other party could only cling to.
