In the evening, when the drinks were a bit boring, Viscount Emmett's manor was lit up and an open-air dance was held by the fountain in the center of the courtyard.

Karl thought that Surdak, a young knight, should often attend such noble balls in order to make some young friends in the city of Highlandsa.

"My friend, when you become a knight, it means that your life circle has changed substantially, and those of your former friends ...... I'm not saying to give them up, but you also need to make new friends, other knights, mages, and nobles, and you have to get used to it and blend in...... Then you will find that your life will be turned upside down. ”

Karl leaned against a lamppost with a glass of grape juice with a faint wine flavor and said to Surdak in an elegant manner.

Surdak looked at the monster leather armor on his body a little crampedly, and sighed softly, many guests in aristocratic dresses around him looked at him with surprised eyes, this feeling was really bad, he felt like a duck standing in a chicken coop, it was so different, and the surrounding environment seemed out of place.

Before coming here, Carl only said that he would take him to find a place to drink, but he didn't mention attending such a drinking party at all.

In fact, even if you mention it, it's useless, you don't have a knight's dress at all.

Carl beside him didn't seem to care, when a waiter with a tray passed by, he drank the wine-flavored grape juice in one gulp, put the empty wine glass back on the tray, picked up two glasses of golden cider, handed one to Surdak, winked at Surdak and said, "Enjoy this night!" ”

In Surdak's eyes, a drink without ale would be completely soulless.

Golden cider, wine, rum, and booze-flavored juices don't go well with roasts, and the unnamed dishes on the table don't quite like the appetizers, which look gorgeous and exquisite, but each serving is only a shallow bite.

He picked up a piece of shell and sucked the slightly sweet flesh into his mouth, which was completely raw.

It's hard to imagine how such a dead seafood could be kept fresh in an inland mountain town like Highlandsa, and with a whole roasted graystone iguana in another tray, Surdak lost his appetite at all at the thought of hunting limestone iguanas in the Paglos Mountains.

A group of people dressed in gorgeous evening dresses can't wait to put their chests. The young ladies crowded with rabbits on the former shore weave through the crowd like butterflies, they do not sit reservedly and wait for the gentlemen's invitation, they are like tiger sharks swimming in a school of fish, looking for their prey.

Of course, there are also ladies who notice Karl and Surdak, they seem to know Karl very well, and when they run over to greet Karl with a wine glass, their eyes always glance at Surdak, and there is always a taste of scrutiny in their eyes.

It's not that Surdak is reserved and indifferent to the hot gaze of these young ladies, but that he doesn't know how to dance at all, he can only stand by and watch with a wine glass, and he doesn't know anyone else.

Karl saw that Surdak was not interested in dancing, so he whispered a few words to his dance partner, and the young lady had a sweet smile on her face, and after walking away for a short time, she brought a tall young lady, with long chestnut hair, a light blue dress, and a slender waist, and when Surdak looked at her, she was also looking at Surdak curiously.

"I think we should find a place to sit down and talk...... Carl suggested, holding the young lady's slender waist.

The tall lady stared at Surdak very boldly, and then stood beside him, and glanced at his arm, and in those amber eyes it was clearly written, 'Knight, please raise your arm, so that I may hold you......

Seeing Surdak's bewildered look, the tall girl pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

Surdak didn't stretch out his hand, but the tall girl looked at him stubbornly.

Just when the scene was a little embarrassing, a fair-skinned young nobleman walked next to him, and after seeing Carl, he said with a surprised face: "Hi, Carl, why do you have time to attend Viscount Emmett's ball?" ”

Karl quickly introduced him to Surdak, a young nobleman with a somewhat bard temperament named Llewellyn, a baron whose family was also a traditional nobleman of the city of Highlandza.

He looked kind, although he was a baron, but he had no arrogance in front of Surdak, he took a glass of wine casually, and asked Karl: "I heard that you have been troubled by the bandit group outside the city recently, and you thought that you would arrest those robbers outside the city at this time......"

As he spoke, Llewellyn's eyes stole a glance at the tall girl beside Surdak, but the tall girl simply ignored him.

Carl smiled embarrassedly: "I ran back to be scolded, this kind of thing is better than a group of people being scolded!" ”

When Baron Llewellyn heard Karl say this, his attention was immediately drawn to the matter, and he leaned into Karl's ear and whispered, "I heard that the gang of robbers had just ransacked the Volvotson Manor a week ago. ”

Baron Llewellyn also brought a female companion with him, the lady seemed to have a faint hostility towards the tall girl next to Surdak, but when the two looked at each other, they both smiled gracefully, and the hostility in their eyes was well hidden, and the tall girl raised her white chin to Baron Llewellyn's female companion as if she was provocative, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold Surdak's arm.

Surdak felt Baron Llewellyn's left eye jump slightly, and immediately smiled casually.

A few people sat down at an empty table by the pool, and the tall girl sat next to Surdak, and Baron Llewellyn said to Karl with a pretended cordiality: "Is it because of this matter that the Archon will let you go back to the city to report on your work, if you need anything, you must tell us, if we can help, we will not postpone it, Jonah and Brooke they will mention you today." ”

After saying that, Baron Llewellyn glanced at the tall girl beside Surdak again, but the more this happened, the more the tall girl deliberately leaned towards Surdak's side.

At this time, Surdak finally figured it out, and dared to love the ambiguous relationship between this Baron Llewellyn and this tall girl. But at this ball, Baron Llewellyn brought another female companion, so the two seemed to be fighting like a couple, but they were caught in the middle, which was really ...... I knew there would be such a thing, and I would stay in the hotel tonight if I said anything......

Karl also secretly gave Surdak an apologetic look.

The young lady who brought the tall girl was also a little embarrassed to sit next to Carl, and Carl could only bite the bullet and say: "That gang of robbers is quite vigilant, once they succeed, they will immediately flee, and now that everyone has been scattered, there is no news yet......"
