Chapter 60: The Etiquette of Cenas
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Scott. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I'm Katyusha's grandfather, Leon Iomo. ”
The eyes of the old halfling shone with the wisdom of the precipitation of time, and some strange light.
According to Scott's standards, except for the naughty grimace at the beginning, the old duke's every move was perfect like a textbook of aristocratic etiquette, old-fashioned and precise.
However, to Scout's surprise, such an old man who followed the rules performed a strange etiquette in front of Scot.
With your left hand down and your knee half-bent, your right hand swings sharply on the side of your leg six times in a row, then you put your left hand on your chest and stand up straight, with your right hand on top of your left hand.
Although the movements are strange, the old duke has completed it like flowing clouds and flowing clouds, and it is as elegant as the clouds on the horizon.
Naturally, Scott didn't understand the meaning of this etiquette, but Princess Katyusha, who was watching the ceremony, covered her mouth tightly with her only remaining left hand, so she didn't let out a rude exclamation.
The etiquette of the old duke has a special name. [Cenas].
This is one of the few remaining rituals that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, and only some secret warrior lineages and hidden families know about it, and if it is translated into the meaning of the current lingua franca of the Roland Continent, it is [incomparable].
In fact, in antiquity, Xenas was dedicated only to those who had made an incomparable contribution to the continent and to the human race.
Katyusha was only educated about this etiquette when she was receiving the inheritance of her grandfather's war officer, but since she was a child, Katyusha has never seen her grandfather do [Senas] to anyone, even in the face of her father, who is a halfling king, it is just the ordinary etiquette of modern popular nobles facing higher nobles.
"Not even the gods may be able to use Senas for me. ”
This is the time when Katyusha was talking to the old duke, and the old duke's answer, Katyusha can clearly remember that her grandfather said this with a slight mocking smile on his face.
But today, his grandfather, a legend of the kingdom's protector, used [Xenas], which he would not necessarily use even in the face of the gods, against another immature-looking human boy.
。。。。。。
The old duke didn't just invite Scott, he invited all the surviving halflings in the temple of Yodara at this moment.
Coming out of the crisis of death, everyone needs to release the stirring emotions in their hearts, and naturally, a carnival banquet could not be better.
The banquet was a success, although it was in a state of simplicity, but the old duke did not forget to bring some exquisite food from the time when the halfling king supported the fortress of Retrick, although the amount was not much, but it was enough to make the surviving halflings in the entire Yudara Temple have a good meal.
After the feast, Scott was placed in a separate room in the temple, while the Fortress Corps set up camp in the ruins of Rytrick's Fortress and settled down.
However, the comfortable bed did not let Scott fall asleep quickly, but instead made him toss and turn, unable to sleep. Scott's mind was filled with the horror he had felt before he met Duke Leon Iomeh.
"Perhaps, that's the true state of Duke Leon?"
Scott is not a legend after all, even if he has experienced a legendary-level power use, but let him observe and figure out the strength of a veteran powerhouse who has been a legend for many years, but he is not able to catch it.
Scott also thought about asking the old dwarf to help him measure, but the old dwarf didn't seem to have any concerns and didn't help Scott.
Therefore, in front of Scott, Duke Leon Eome has always been like an old high-ranking and old-fashioned nobleman, precise and precise, but there is no trace of power.
In a room on the other side of the temple, Scott was holding his granddaughter's palm and whispering comfortingly.
"Katyusha, you don't need to worry, I have already asked the attendants around me to rush back to the royal capital and tell the king about your situation. ”
"As long as you return to the royal capital, your severed limbs will soon grow back, and after a period of recovery, you will be a healthy and lively Katyusha again. ”
"Grandpa, I don't care about that... ”
Wrapped in a velvet quilt, Katyusha smiled and talked to her grandfather, and the words she said made the halfling old duke stunned, but it immediately dawned on her.
"Oh, Grandpa knows, are you worried about your relationship with the Cariyat?"
"Don't worry, as the commander of the Fortress of Rytrik and blessed by the goddess Yodara as the elect, the Kariyat already has enough capital to propose to the royal family. ”
"As long as you are in love, whoever in the royal family dares to object, my grandfather will beat him until he agrees!"
"Grandpa, I don't care about that either... ”
However, the old duke's sudden realization was once again rejected by his granddaughter with a smile, which made the old duke frown, and he clutched his Mediterranean sideburns like a child, but he was puzzled.
In the end, he could only open his mouth helplessly.
"My dear Katyusha, then, what are you concerned about?"
"I want to know, Grandpa, why did you use [Senas] on that human boy?"
"I clearly remember that my grandfather once said that even if you are a god, you may not be qualified to offer [Senas], right?"
Listening to Katyusha's words, the old duke's frowning brows slowly relaxed, but they became serious again, and in the face of Katyusha's serious face, the old duke slightly exhaled a breath in his chest.
"I'm not saluting the human boy. ”
"In fact, that young man is not really a legendary powerhouse, but he just used some props and temporarily has the strength of a legendary powerhouse. ”
"What deserves to be presented to [Xenas] is the inheritance that this young man named Scott has received, an incomparably ancient legacy, and a legacy that has made incomparably contributions to the entire human race. ”
"I only hope that this teenager can follow the path of the sages and continue to contribute to the human race. ”
"Alright, it's time to sleep. Rest well, my dear Katyusha. ”
Obviously, the old Duke Leon Eomme knew Scott's true identity, but he did not reveal it in front of Katyusha, but only vaguely introduced Katyusha and comforted his granddaughter to rest.
In the old duke's company, Katyusha fell into a deep sleep, her physical wounds had healed, and the rebirth of her severed limbs was no longer a problem, and what she needed now was to recover from mental exhaustion.
And the old duke, after waiting for Katyusha to fall asleep, slowly stood up, and then dissipated into the air like a puff of smoke, as if it had never existed.
