Chapter Ninety-Seven: Unicorns

Seeing Baron Wright pull away the hatred, Eric was a little happy, thinking to himself, "This kid is not bad!"

Baron Willie was not happy: "Wright, why do you always oppose me? I have put up with you for a long time, isn't it just Billy Herrington's business, do you need to hate me until now? besides, he took the initiative to leave you!"

"You're talking nonsense, you captured Billy's old mother to threaten him, forget it, you still torture him like that!" Baron Wright said, his eyes moving to tears.

With a shudder, Eric quickly pulled Emily out of this abnormal place. Baron Willy, who saw Eric wanting to leave, hurriedly stopped in front of Eric.

Eric stared into Baron Willy's eyes, and Emily saw a swirl in Eric's eyes. Eric was performing "hypnosis", and Baron Willy, unconsciously, his head was foggy, and when he woke up, he found that Eric had walked away.

"I didn't expect that to have magic items on him! "When Eric had just cast a spell on Baron Willy, he noticed that there was some kind of energy in the other person's body that weakened his attack, and he was almost exposed.

Eric is familiar with that form of energy, a bit like the constant "detection of the undead" on the Ring of the Dead.

"It appears to be an item that is constantly resistant to the effects of confusing magic. Eric thought for a moment.

"The lord of the castle has arrived!" This was the first time that an attendant had reported the visitor. The banquet hall suddenly fell silent, and the people present began to salute the city lord.

"Don't worry about these etiquette, you may not know that my youngest daughter, Miri, was born on the same day as Sophia, and on that day, Sophia's father, the Marquis of Thern, was fighting the orcs. ”

"Today, I am here to attend the banquet as the elder of two children, not the city lord, if you care too much about my identity, it will affect the atmosphere of the banquet!"

After listening to Matthew's words, everyone relaxed a lot, so they continued to talk and laugh. Baron Wright and Baron Willy, who were originally tense, also immediately coexisted in harmony, but the fierce collision of their eyes was still the same.

I didn't expect that it was the birth of the city lord's daughter today, which made everyone feel a little caught off guard, and they didn't prepare a gift! After Mi Rui saw his father, he hurriedly ran over and asked Matthew for a gift.

Matthew was overwhelmed by his daughter and said, "You and Sophia's gifts are from Francisco, and he'll be coming over soon." ”

After speaking, Matthew also said to Sophia, who came to his side: "Francisco has put a lot of thought into it for your life gift. ”

Miri thought of the scene when Eric had just laughed at her, rolled her eyes, and said to Matthew, "My dear father, Your Excellency Eric is here today, let's just let him play for the birthday banquet." ”

"Oh, Eric is here too, and I was so moved by his Romeo and Juliet that your mother used to make fun of me, saying that I was about the same as the male lead, hahaha!"

Eric was summoned to his side by Matthew's dispatch, which drew the attention of the guests in the hall. Matthew looked at Eric carefully and noticed that the other party's mental outlook seemed to have changed a little.

"Eric, it seems that music can really edify people, I haven't seen you for a while, your temperament is much more elegant, by the way, I also want to congratulate you on successfully passing the Imperial Knight Examination, are you interested in being my family musician?"

Matthew's words made Miri's eyes widen, she couldn't believe that her father would value Eric so much, her family's position as a musician, but many people would want to get it even if they broke their heads.

Mirrey felt incredible again, Eric just shook his head at Matthew's invitation and said: "The kindness of the city lord really makes me panic, but I have long been dedicated to art in this life, so I can only appreciate the kindness of the city lord." ”

Eric's refusal surprised Matthew a little, but his mind was not comparable to ordinary people, and he would not say anything that Eric's did not know what to do, but nodded, indicating that he understood Eric's choice.

"That's a shame, maybe only a bard like you who doesn't care about fame and fortune can create a good work of art, but now, why don't you play for the banquet live?" said Matthew with a laugh.

"yes, yes, preferably new music. Lord Santos said that you were the most gifted bard he had ever met. So I want you to create a new piece of music to celebrate my birthday with Sophia. ”

The guests all felt that Miri's request was a bit overwhelming, does this thing mean that creation can be created? Seeing Miri's appearance that he just wants you to make a fool of himself, Eric really wants to turn around and leave, and he won't shake her.

But the city lord Matthew is still here, and Eric, who was troubled, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "My talent is just average, but I really have a song for the two of you." ”

Without any musical instruments prepared, Eric cleared his throat under everyone's curious gaze and sang, "I wish you a happy life, I wish you a happy life.......

Miri and the guests in the hall were stunned, they didn't expect Eric to sing such a simple song, but they couldn't say bad, just... It just feels weird...

Eric gave Emily a look, and Emily immediately sang along, and more and more people sang along, and everyone started singing.

The atmosphere suddenly became warm, Sophia and Miri were a little moved, and Eric pushed the small cart with the raw cake in front of Sophia and said to her, "Make a wish!"

Sophia closed her eyes with a blushing face, then opened her eyes and blew out the candles on the cake, and Miri did the same.

"I didn't expect it, Erik, you are really....really quick to react, but you are also really amazing, you actually came up with such a simple and happy life song, I think in the future, at everyone's birthday banquet, there will be no shortage of this song. Matthew was also a little embarrassed by Eric's on-the-spot reaction.

"Eric, I've often heard Minks talk about you, I'm Kaydon. A young nobleman, who was in high spirits, said in a friendly manner as he extended his hand to Eric.

This man is the aristocratic young man Kaidong who walked with the civilian probationary knight, he is the second son of the treasurer of Laika City, and since his mother is also a commoner, he prefers to stay with the commoners.

Over time, Caydon became the default representative of the commoners.

Eric shook hands with a smile on his face and said, "I'm honored to know you, you are the target of many civilian youths. ”

This sentence is true, what Kai Dong has been doing is to fight for the rights and interests of civilian probationary knights, and strive to let everyone get some equal treatment. For example, the various positions in the empire are only open to trainee knights who are born as children of nobility.

"Eric, I heard that you passed the knight exam, how about it, are you interested in joining the knight order I founded?"

"I'd still prefer to be a bard!" Eric smiled and declined.

"Eric, you turned down the invitation of Lord Kaidong, even if you are now a slightly famous bard, you are still a commoner at heart, a knight, and you have the title of lord. There was a handsome young man beside Kaidong, and his face was full of disdain when he saw Eric refuse the invitation.

This man Eric also knew, his name was Jahira, and he used to hang out behind Rice. It was repaired by Eric. Having an unkind attitude towards Eric did not surprise Eric in the slightest.

Ignoring the other party, Eric took Emily and continued to eat.

Jahira obviously didn't want to let Eric go, reached out and grabbed Eric's shoulder, and said to him: "You are a civilian, if you don't take refuge in Lord Kaidong, you will not be able to move an inch in Laika City, I advise you to get acquainted." His Excellency Kaidong also teaches combat skills, and I'm a knight now!"

As she spoke, Jahira deliberately increased the strength of her hand and clasped Eric's shoulders tightly.

"I said why are you hanging like this, why are you hanging like this? It turns out that you have also become a knight, and you have been a trainee knight for eight years, you really scared me to death!" Eric pursed his lips, feeling a little amused in his heart.

Caydon thought that Eric was stumped by Jahira, and "hurriedly" stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "Jahira, don't do this, everyone has their own ideas, but I think Your Excellency Eric will consider my opinion carefully, won't you?"

Hehe twice, Eric directly left a back for the two of them.

"What a bad guy, Kaidong, why are you recruiting such a person?" Jahira's handsome face was full of mockery, "It's just a guy who was born as a pirate." ”

With a playful smile, Caydon whispered to Jahira, "You think I really value him? I've had Eric look into him and find out that he has a good relationship with Councillor Batista's butler, I just want to get on the line, and if he doesn't know how to raise it, we have a way to teach him a lesson." You're right, but a pirate-turned-fellow, and you really think you can compare to a regular knight?"

A neighing sound came from the gate, and everyone looked towards the door, only to see Francisco leading a pure white pony into the hall.

"What a beautiful horse....no... Oh my God....it's a unicorn. ”

Eric had never seen a unicorn, but seeing that Sophia's eyes had been on the pony and he felt that this horse was a very good breed, if not a unicorn.

"Sophia, this is my gift to you, I got it from a Wood Elf Ranger, a newborn unicorn, I didn't buy it with money, I exchanged it for something. ”

Sophia was completely attracted to the little unicorn in front of her, and when she just wanted to reach out to touch it, she realized that her behavior was a little reckless: "Francisco, this is really a precious gift, but I can't accept it, it's too precious!"

Not only Francisco, but even Matthew and Mirey were stunned, and they didn't think that Sophia would refuse this gift.
