The moment he draped the "Curse of the Raven God" over his shoulders, Esther felt an eerie energy invade his body, causing his mind to wander for a moment, as if something was vying with him for dominance of his body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But obviously, in the face of the unspeakable who did not follow the rules of this crystal wall at all, this strange energy was obviously not an opponent, and it was quickly expelled by the powerful energy obtained from the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. But when Esther soon came to his senses, he found that Valentina was reaching out, grabbing his hair tightly and pulling him upward.

"You dead bear kid. You know what you're doing!" Valentina, feeling very angry, lifted Esther's hair upwards with all her might, but the long blonde hair from Sonia grew longer and longer in her hand as if it were alive, and Ist himself stood on the ground without reacting.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Don't you think I'm fine?" Knowing that he must have startled Valentina, Esther hurriedly explained.

In the sluggish time just now, Esther was actually happy and stupid. This cloak is a very conscientious artifact. Perhaps the god of crows is too young to know how to cut corners. This cloak actually has a field of its own. That's a very practical realm, and it's the realm of magic that many legends try to obtain. This realm of magical energy is unrivalled even for legendary spellcasters. It allows the caster to double the number of casts and double the spell effect at the same time. What's more, with this realm, it's easy to get some legendary abilities that quickly regenerate cast times in battle.

With this realm in hand, Esther can even conceal his true identity and impersonate a legendary spellcaster to carry out many activities that are inconvenient for the public to know.

"You didn't turn into a crow? " Valentina looked at Esther with some confusion, and reached out to feel around his body, as if to find out if he had any mutated parts.

East, who was touched by Valentina, hurriedly stopped her actions. He thought for a moment, and pretended to be uncertain and replied, "Maybe this cloak has been stored for too long and has passed its expiration date!"

"What is the expiration date?" said Valentina, looking puzzled. But soon, the genetics from the Serenti people made her give up thinking about this kind of problem. Anyway, I just didn't turn into a crow.

She greeted Xiao Yi, who was scurrying around, and looked at Esther with a serious face.

"Never touch the cursed item next time. I can't figure out why you're interested in that big armor and this cursed cloak. But since you've made your choice, let's go back quickly, it's not too early. I also have to rush to the dinner party. ”

"Of course, of course, everything is up to you. ”

The Treasure Palace is not the grandest and most spacious palace in Kolunburg, but it is located in the famous Palais Palazzo Northlin, which is used for the annual harvest festival. When it comes to the lavish decoration of the interior, it is not as luxurious as the Golden Palace, which has been the favorite of generations of kings. As for the age, it is even less important, and it has only been built for 200 years.

But this is the venue for Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth's coming-of-age ceremony tonight. Because after tonight, she will not continue to live in the Golden Palace with her parents and siblings, but will move to live alone in the Treasure Palace until she finds a wishful husband to marry or has the right to move freely.

The Palace of Treasures consists of a main hall and two side halls, a series of small buildings behind the main hall and a beautiful garden sandwiched between the three palaces. The highlight of tonight is, of course, the coming-of-age ceremony of Her Royal Highness the princess in the main hall, but in the side hall, there will also be good scenes.

People of some status throughout the kingdom of Coronia will try their best to bring their young unmarried children into the Treasure Palace. Because tonight, there will be a concentration of the best unmarried singles in all of Coronia. This kind of coming-of-age ceremony for a princess or prince has always been a large-scale blind date. A prince or princess who has just come of age is the biggest package to see which boy or girl can attract his or her attention. In addition to the prince or princess himself, other boys and girls of the right age who come to the scene often notice each other, and then develop a relationship that goes beyond friendship. As for some parents who are worried about the stubborn marriage at home, they will not miss this kind of event, and plan to find a reins to restrain the bad horse.

At this point, it's not long before the dinner starts. A large number of servants and maids still kept coming and going like butterflies in flowers, making the final preparations for the banquet.

Because it is a coming-of-age ceremony for little girls, and the main guests are also young people, the dinner is not arranged in the traditional Kingdom Banquet of Coronia, where hundreds of long tables are placed, everyone has a fixed seat, and then one by one large dishes and small dishes are served in turn for the guests to taste, but is arranged in a more free and popular buffet form that has only emerged in the last few hundred years for young people.

The place of origin of this buffet is said to be the top of the business alliance. I have to admit that even a remote plane like Coronia, which cares about maintaining mysteries, has been affected by all aspects of that powerful organization.

The main hall of the Treasure Palace sits north and faces south, and is divided into three levels, one of which is the widest hall, with a ceiling that reaches to the top of the palace. In this hall, a large open space has now been laid out. This venue will be the venue for tonight's celebration ball. On the east and west sides of the open space, large containers filled with Coronia's local delicacies and delicacies from different planes form slender rectangles one after another, like a barracks of delicacies. In the midst of the camp were pretty maids and handsome servants dressed neatly and neatly. Their task is to add selected food items to the guests and to process some of the food that needs to be reprocessed on site.

On the north side of the ballroom is a staircase leading to the second and third floors of the palace, which is already covered with brightly colored thick pile carpets. When the dinner reaches its climax, Her Royal Highness the Princess, accompanied by Her Majesty the King, descends the stairs to meet the guests.

At this time, in the garden outside the temple, there were already some early arrivals waiting to enter. However, because it was still early, the officials guarding the temple gate forbade them to enter early.

Most of these early guests were nouveau riche from the royal capital and other places, and the really high-ranking nobles would either arrive later, or even if they came early, they would be invited by acquaintances in Kolunborg to rest and chat.

At this time, there are already many guests chatting and waiting on the second floor of the Treasure Palace. However, most of these guests are middle-aged, and they are the parents of the protagonists of tonight's banquet. Tonight, they won't go down to the dance hall, but will be on the second-floor platform with a great view, watching the young people below.

In a richly decorated room on the third floor of the Treasure Palace, the fourteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth was blushing into the arms of a beautiful woman, shouting, "Look at her, Mommy!" and burrowing her little head into the plump breasts of the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman smiled and hugged her daughter's little head to prevent her from moving, and pretended to be angry and said to a girl next to her who was smiling evilly: "Alflin, you will soon be an adult, why are you so fond of pranks." ”

The girl named Alfrin was not tall, more than half a head shorter than Princess Elizabeth. She wore a handsome haircut, short blonde ear-length hair, which was rare among girls, and wore an old-fashioned military dress that was very old, and a gray cloth cloak that looked equally old on the back.

With a wicked smile on her face, she stretched out her hands, made a grasping gesture to Princess Elizabeth, and then pretended to be very serious and said, "Mother Lorraine, I'm just checking Elizabeth's development." After all, she is about to get married and have a baby, so she can't let the future baby go hungry!"

Queen Lorraine Arce Coren grimaced at Alfrin with no grace, this little girl, who had only been weaned for a few years, had begun to think about these questions. She asked, somewhat deliberately, "So, Alfrynn, what are the results of your examination?"

Alfrin had a smug smile on her face. "After my examination, Elizabeth has definitely inherited the good qualities of you, Mother Lorraine, and her baby will definitely not go hungry in the future. ”

"Alas!" said Queen Lorraine, shaking her head helplessly, not knowing what to say about Alflin's answer. She looked at the daughter in her arms, as if in a blink of an eye, she had grown from a nursing doll to an age where she could be a mother.

Elizabeth is the first child of her and Spencer, and the Yuxue she gave birth to is cute, and it can be said that she is loved by thousands of people.

Alfrin was the youngest daughter of Suvorov Joodi Koren and was born only one day after Elisabeth. But after she was born, her mother was too weak to breastfeed her.

This is because when Alfrin was born, Count Suvorov was already a legendary powerhouse, and the count's wife was still an ordinary person. The birth of a powerful legendary bloodline drained the energy of the earl's wife, and she remained sick for many years afterward.

As a descendant of the Coron royal family and the famous Adventure King, Alfrin's birth caught Spencer's attention from the beginning. At that time, Queen Lorraine had just given birth to Elizabeth, and she was worried that she would not be able to drink her milk every day. Alfrin was then taken into Columburg to share with Elizabeth the Queen's abundant breast milk.

Compared to Elizabeth, who already had a good appetite, Alfrin was able to eat more than a piglet since she was a child. It took three times longer than Elizabeth to finish a meal each time. It is also thanks to Queen Lorraine's own excellent physique that she can feed this girl.

In the following time, because Elizabeth gave birth to several younger siblings one after another, even when she was six years old, Elizabeth and Alfrin would have the opportunity to get into Queen Lorraine's arms and share their mother's nurturing with the younger ones. That's why Lorraine will always treat them as little ones in the future.
