Leiter stood up, slapped a few gold coins on the table, and looked at the middle-aged man's gaze much more solemnly: "Let's go!" ”

"Please follow me, sir!" The middle-aged magician's smile remained unchanged and he walked outside with Reiter.

Night.

A secluded manor on the outskirts of town.

There are many knights patrolling and guarding the outside world, all of them with serious expressions and exuding a strong atmosphere.

Inside the manor stands a straight castle, which is dark throughout.

In the palatial hall of the castle, there are delicate blue crystal lamps, shining brightly but not dazzling, which is a very clever way of dealing with the light element, and only a master of alchemy equipment with a very high level can do this.

Reiter was taken directly to the manor in the afternoon, and not long after arriving here, he met Prince Hogus who had arrived, exchanged pleasantries, and was invited to the ball tonight.

Soon after the sun set, Reiter changed into a luxurious evening dress presented by Hoggus, and dressed up in front of the mirror for more than ten minutes.

When the time came, he came out and followed Hogus to the hall where the ball was about to be held.

The castle opened its doors to welcome the nobles who walked in one after another, and there were also aristocrats scattered throughout the hall, each holding a crystal goblet with red wine, and talking pleasantly.

There is melodious singing in the hall, which spreads to every corner, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

"Prince Hogus, long time no see, you are more handsome than the last time we met." A beautiful woman in a light blue bandeau dress walked over.

"Really? People around me say that, and I'm glad that my men are honest. Hogus smiled lightly and touched his chin, then looked at Reiter and said, "Reiter, let me introduce you, this is the eldest daughter of the Marquises of Marcel - Hiluberty, a very intelligent female knight. ”

"Lady Shilubetty, it's a pleasure to meet you." Reiter smiled and said a simple greeting. Not bland, not welcoming. He's not a sociable aristocrat, at least... Not keen on ineffective socializing.

"This is Count Raytt, a very gifted magister who lives on the southwestern frontier." Hoggus patted Rett on the shoulder, and then introduced him to Hiluberti.

Hearing that, the eldest daughter of the marquis, Hilrubetti, has bright eyes, and can be called extremely talented by Prince Hogus, and she also noticed that the two entered the arena together, which shows that Count Ray is very valued by Prince Hogus......

Hiludetti stretched out her right hand, which was wrapped in a black silk mesh glove, and smiled charmingly, "I'm glad to meet you, Count Leyter, I've seen a lot of nobles from the Southwest Frontier, but you're the most unique, and there's something a little different about you!" ”

Leiter raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and shook it gently, and asked, "Different?" What do you mean... Which aspect? ”

"Hehehe, I can't say it yet, but can you dance with me later?" Shiluberti looked at Reiter with seductive eyes: "I'll tell you ...... while dancing"

Leiter's face remained unchanged, and his heart was unhappy. Just dancing a dance, of course he didn't care, but the woman's face in front of him was charming, so he just wanted to stay away.

So be prepared to find an excuse to refuse.

"Hey, Leitt? You really came to the royal city, and you fulfilled our promise so quickly! ”

A voice of surprise came from the castle gate, gathering the eyes of some nobles in the field.

A middle-aged woman wearing a pure white mage robe and dressed simply, her figure was outlined and convex, exuding a strong mature temperament.

It is Karina Archmage, as a great mage and a famous painter, it can be said that she has a wide social circle, and there is almost no one who does not know her.

Under the convergence of many eyes, she walked straight towards Leiter, smiling like a flower, because the other party not only helped her find a teacher, but also took care of her daughter's life in Dark Eagle City, and she also needed a part of the other party.

Karina came at the right time, giving Reiter a good reason to refuse.

So he gave Hiluberty an apologetic look, crossed over to Karina, and hugged her gently.

Reiter shrugged and said, "Of course, I am very happy to learn from Prince Hogus that you will also be attending this banquet. ”

"Hiludeetti, how about dancing with me later?"

Just when Rhett went to talk to Karina, and learned that Rhett had no feelings for Hiluberty, a smile flashed in Hoggus's eyes, and at the same time, he sensed Hilrubetti's embarrassment, and stepped forward to resolve him, and smiled gently.

Shilubetty was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had almost heard it wrong, but she knew very well that it was true, and the third prince invited her to dance!

Her eyes were full of surprise again, and she pinched the corners of her skirt and said, "Prince Hogus, I am extremely honored!" ”

Although Leiter didn't turn around to see a scene, he also looked up at Hogus again in his heart, as a king, he was not arrogant and domineering in his previous life. Whether it's strength, brains, social means, emotional intelligence...... The overall quality is quite excellent.

Next, with the experience of Leitt entering the arena with Hoggus, coupled with Karina's threading of the needle, Leiter shuttled to all corners of the hall, and many nobles in the field took the initiative to talk. These people are basically nobles from all over the country, and their family lineages have been passed down for several generations, and there is no need for everyone in the family to stay in the territory all day, and someone is responsible for external socialization.

LTECH copes with ease.

Half an hour later.

The nobles laughed in harmony.

The lights in the hall changed suddenly, from dazzling and bright to soft and dim.

The castle is a large space, and the dark blue dance floor carpet is faintly fluorescent under the light.

Suddenly, there was a sense of confusion in the air.

There are bejeweled ladies and graceful maidens, as well as pot-bellied middle-aged gentlemen and handsome young knights.

In short, after the soothing and gentle music played, the dance partners who had been appointed in advance walked into the center of the dance floor, and they all wrapped their shoulders around their waists, stepping on elegant steps, singing and dancing.

"How's your dancing going, Count Leyter?" Karina took the last sip of red wine in her goblet and looked at Reiter.

"Well, to tell you the truth, in general, I hope Lady Karina won't dislike it later." Reiter shrugged, not humble. Since he was born in this world, he has not attended several aristocratic balls. Even if he was already an earl, he had not actually systematically learned the dance steps of the nobles.

"Giggles, actually...... I would have seen it a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have picked on you. Karina covered her mouth and smiled, and said very bluntly: "Because my dancing skills are also very bad, I still entered the palace and was forced to learn two hands." After all, growing up, I wasn't passionate about dancing. I prefer painting to a noisy dance party. ”

Leiter looked at Karina with some surprise, paused and said, "In this way, I won't be holding back......"

"Actually, that's what I thought, too."

The two of them entered the dance floor, which was not crowded at all, kept a proper distance, and began to move slowly to the beat of the music.

Listening to the graceful singing, Leiter was in a very comfortable mood, looked at Karina's face, and said: "Lady Karina, I have thought of something about your daughter, maybe you will be curious......"

Karina was really attracted and asked, "Ola?" Did she get into trouble? If she breaks something with you, it's all on my account. ”

"Of course not, Ola is a very polite girl." Reiter shook his head and said, "Actually, I accidentally discovered that Aura and one of my knights are very close, and they have a relationship... It's ambiguous......"

"What do you say? Aura has a crush on someone? When Karina heard her daughter's situation, her eyes instantly changed from gentle to sharp, and she said, "Who is that knight?" Count Reiter, take the trouble to tell me his message. ”

"In fact, there is nothing special about the knight under me, the only thing is that he has excellent talent, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he is already a second-level knight." Reiter said helplessly.

"Fourteen-year-old second-class knight...... Karina was stunned, her face suddenly softened, and when she heard this, her heart calmed down. I don't blame her, as a mother, it is natural to care about her daughter's situation. When there is no physical contact with people and a clear understanding of the true nature, it is most effective to pay attention to the material situation.

"Where have they got?" Karina's expression said calmly, "Shouldn't you have gone to bed already?" ”

"Uh." Leiter glared slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "That's not true, it's just a little bit of a sprout, and it hasn't developed further." Because you are Ora's mother, I told you this. ”

Karina nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment, smiled: "Then it's up to you, Count Reiter, I hope Aura has a pleasant trip in Dark Eagle City......"

Is this a tacit approval of Lawrence and Ora being together? Reitt thought about it, and the surface responded: "Lady Karina, it's a trivial matter. ”

In the bottom of my heart, I wondered if I should find an opportunity to go back and make a match, speed up the progress of Lawrence and Ola, and how Karina would react if the raw rice was cooked and ripe......

The two clumsy dancers danced for a short time before they came to the peripheral table to sit in silence.

The sit-in until the end of the dance party continued, some remained in the hall to talk, while others left halfway.

There were also men and women in heat who went to the vacant rooms specially prepared by the manor......

Rett found the opportunity for Prince Hogus to be alone, and leaned in.

"Prince Hogus, would you like a drink?" With a red wine bottle in one hand and a crystal goblet in the other, Reiter walked slowly towards Hoggus, who was standing at the edge of the hall.

"No problem, Count Reiter, did you have a good time tonight?" Hoggus smiled, his eyes turned around the dance floor, and then fell back on Reiter, and said:

"Do you have a pretty lady you like? If there is, I don't mind matching you up, you're welcome. ”

Reiter smiled and shook his head: "Prince Hogus, don't be kidding, I actually have something important to report......"

"Something important? Could it be that you have a crush on Karina?

Well, it's a bit tricky, I can command her, but I can't make her give her life at will......," Hoggus muttered quietly, and was a woman with a child really that attractive?

Seeing that Hoggus didn't realize the point, Rhett glanced left and right, lowered his voice and said, "It's a note about the mysterious man......"

Hiss!

Hoggus took a deep breath, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly looked as usual, glanced at the hall, his eyes fell on Reiter again, and said, "Could it be the note you just received?" ”

"No, it was received a few days ago, of course, it has been reduced to ashes......"

"Then you... Come with me. Hoggus gave Reiter a deep look, then turned and left through the side door of the hall.

Reiter followed closely behind and left the castle hall directly.

On the dance floor, many people watched Reiter follow the back of Hoggus, and their eyes were uncertain......

"Now tell me, Count Reiter, what message have you received this time?"

Somewhere in a secluded corner of the manor, in the dark field of vision, lurked a number of powerful transcendents, Hogus was beside a thick silver ancient tree, looking at Rett with a somewhat solemn gaze.

Leiter deliberately looked left and right, looked cautious, and said in a low voice: "There is not much information recorded in the note, but it is absolutely critical. There is an evil Sanctuary powerhouse who will attack the Ring Tower of the Kingdom of Ream......"

"Rem Kingdom?!"

When Hoggus heard this force, his brow furrowed deeply.

He didn't expect that this Sacred Domain powerhouse would actually attack the Rem Kingdom? Could it be that the forces targeted by that Sanctuary are not only the Jinlun Kingdom, but also other kingdoms......

If so, it is still good news for him, after all, it is always good to have someone to share the pressure.

But in any case, with the previous history, Hogus believed that the Sanctuary was definitely on the orc side. Therefore, attacking the Rem Kingdom, the Jinlun Kingdom side cannot stand on the sidelines. Fighting against orcs is the common mission of all human alliances, and losing any of them is a blow to the whole.

And based on his overall view, he also analyzed that if the Ring Tower is destroyed, there will be chaos in the Rim Kingdom, which will inevitably give the orcs an opportunity to take advantage of, which is tantamount to weakening the power of the human alliance.

So he said solemnly: "Count Reiter, are you sure you are not joking?" You should be well aware of what this information represents, and if so, how serious the consequences are......"

"I swear that every word I say is true!" Reiter responded earnestly.

"Okay, I'll escalate the matter." Hoggus looked at Reiter deeply, "If you finally stop this disaster, you will be a great achievement!" On the contrary, I don't need to say more about the consequences......"

Reiter nodded emphatically, then pretended to think for a while, and hesitated: "Prince Hogus, actually, I have something else I want to ask for......

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Hoggus said cheerfully. In fact, he was inclined to trust Leiter in his heart, and he knew very well what the other party was, and it was not like he would make such a big joke. Therefore, he attaches great importance to LTECH a little higher than before.

"I'd like to ask you about the elves."
