Within the Golden Clan, there is a very clear distinction between commoners and nobles, and that is whether there is a job or not.

Civilians are forced by life to join the heavy labor that can barely support themselves and their families, and they have a reason to work.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, spurned work and believed that the golden people should maintain the way they had lived thousands of years ago.

Socializing with people and enjoying life in the social season, and releasing the nature to taste wild meat in the hunting season are the living conditions that the golden family should have.

As for work, it shouldn't be taken into account at all.

James looked at the aristocrats around him, and there was even a little disdain in their eyes, which made him a little uncomfortable.

At this time, the legion commander came over, looked at James, who had been snubbed, and said lightly:

"Well, do you feel another kind of value from these nobles?

The hardships of the commoners are not worth mentioning in their eyes, and they will only be full of contempt for you to have a charcoal burner father.

When I was standing here for the first time, like you, those guys made me realize how great the class difference is.

Lucky for you, Christian, they said a lot of nasty things to me. ”

Seeing this, James said with a grateful face:

"Commander, thank you for taking care of me all the time.

Without your help, I would have died a few years ago. ”

The Dragon Slayer Legion Leader shook his head, and instead of accepting this favor, he sighed:

"It's not me who you should be thankful for, it's your father.

At the beginning, in order to save you who were seriously ill, he took advantage of the opportunity to transport charcoal to enter the legion treasury to look for medicinal materials, and was almost killed by the soldiers on the spot.

It was his bravery as a father that allowed you to live to this day, and I just happened to meet it. ”

Although the Legion Commander did not take credit, James's heart was still full of gratitude.

"Thankfully, my father met you, and if I had replaced any of the other nobles present, my father and I would have died."

Hearing this, the Legion Commander burst out laughing.

"Haha, that's true for other legions, but the Dragon Slayer Legion won't be promoted from the nobility.

Because we are the direct troops of the King of Hengcheng, our allegiance is only to His Majesty. ”

Speaking of this, the Legion Commander put away the smile on his face, he looked at James and said seriously:

"Once, like you, I was also a commoner from the bottom, and it was the king who put me in my current position.

If you really want to be grateful, then go and be grateful to the King of Hengcheng. ”

"James, I can let you stand in this hall because of your efforts, but I can't make those nobles not discriminate against you.

If you want to get rid of those disdainful glances and make the nobles slap you up and flatter you, then offer your loyalty to the King of Hengcheng. ”

Hearing the other party's words, James nodded firmly.

As a civilian, he had no choice.

Now that the Legion Commander has given him the opportunity to change his fate, he can't miss it.

Just as the two of them were talking to each other, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

It turned out that Longinus, the king of Hengcheng, had already arrived at the banquet.

When he saw the regiment commander in military uniform, he walked over with a smile.

"The Dragonslayer Legion has done a good job in this operation against the Druids, and I've seen a lot of reports about the front line in the palace."

The regiment commander did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave a military salute, and then reported the situation on the front line in detail.

Seeing that Longinus nodded in satisfaction, the legion commander nudged James's back with his hand and said:

"King, this knight is James under the Dragon Slayer Legion, and he has shown great bravery in the conflict with the druids, and even the specific attack plan is also he participated in the formulation.

I came back this time to introduce him to you.

By the way, he, like me, came from a low-level civilian background. ”

The Dragon Slayer Legion is the most special armed force in Hengcheng, and its special feature is that this legion was established to control the abuse of runes and maintain the legal system of the God Family.

And the most likely to shake the dominance of the family of gods are the nobles who are parasitic under the royal power.

Therefore, the officers of the Dragon Slayer Legion could not be of aristocratic origin.

The Legion Commander admires the down-to-earth and hard-working James, and he wants to take this opportunity to introduce him to the King of Hengcheng, so that he can get ahead.

When Longinus heard this, he looked James up and down, and then said:

"Legion Commander, you know, if you want to be reused by me, it's not enough to simply have talents."

Seeing this, the legion commander hurriedly replied:

"James' devotion to the Creator was so devout that he almost died of a serious illness a few years ago, and that surviving was a miracle that only the Creator could have done."

Hearing the Legion Commander's answer, Longinus smiled with satisfaction.

"It's nice to be able to have faith in your heart, that's what I appreciate the most.

It seems to me that there are only two kinds of people in this world who are the most annoying, the learned and the ignorant who are full of faith, and I am far more disgusted with the former than the latter.

Young man, I'm glad you don't belong to the former, and then like I prove your ability, I'll keep an eye on you. ”

Seeing Longinus stretch out his hand, James bent down, gently pressed his forehead against the other party's ring, and said in an excited voice:

"Dragon Slayer Knight James, it's an honor to serve Your Majesty."

Looking at James's performance, Longinus nodded and turned to leave, what he needed was this kind of talent who started from the end and had a simple identity.

Looking at the back of the king of Hengcheng, James, who was excited, clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart:

"James, this is the only way out for you to change your fate, think of the extra dirt bags in the wasteland behind the house every spring, and you can't let them increase any more."

On the other side, Longinus had returned to the head of the ballroom.

With a few brief harvest greetings, the feast to celebrate the end of the hunting season officially began.

The nobles enjoyed the singing and dancing in the center of the hall, and tasted the delicious wine and food, and the whole banquet gradually reached a climax.

Looking at the aristocrats singing and dancing around him, James couldn't fit in for the time being, so he could only keep eating wildly.

He had never eaten such sumptuous food from a poor family, and when he was happy, he took a sip of his wine glass, intending to relieve his greasyness.

However, the taste of the wine in the cup was surprisingly strong, and the pungent smell rushed straight to the Tianling Gai, which immediately choked him and coughed.

Seeing the wine spilled on the ground, the corps commander said with some pity:

"You guy is really a tyrannical thing, now there are not as many mushrooms as before, mushroom wine is very precious, if you don't want to drink it, bring it to me."

Looking at the legion commander who took the wine jug from the table and began to pour himself a drink, James shook his head helplessly, no matter how precious he was, he would not be blessed to enjoy it.

Just as he was about to continue eating, so that the wine in his mouth could be suppressed, he glanced up with his eyes and accidentally saw a dark shadow.

He looked at it and saw a huge feline lying on the beam, its eyes emitting cold light from time to time, staring at the king of Hengcheng below......
