The Duke of Ascote's mansion sits in the heart of the southern part of the fort, and its towering gray wizarding tower is its most visible landmark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As the duke of the empire, Ascot nominally owns tens of thousands of square kilometers of land, including the Storm Fortress, and the grasslands, mountains, and lakes around the fortress are all his territory, and he is also the supreme commander of the 150,000 barbarian elite legions in the fortress, and is definitely a desirable existence in the west of the Titan Empire.

The Duke's Palace was not far from Luo Luo's house, and the convoy protected by a dozen knights and hundreds of family warriors arrived at the square outside the Duke's Palace in less than half an hour, and there were already hundreds of carriages parked there, and the noble decorations on the luxurious carriages clearly showed the identity of the masters, all of whom were figures with heads and faces in the fortress.

As Miss Vivien's new guard knight, Han Fei was quite lucky to follow her into the Duke's Mansion with Marquis of Ponne and the others, and most of the guards could only eat the cold wind in the square outside.

The Duke's Mansion is not very large, in fact, his clan is thousands of miles away in Titan Yanjing, and only a part of the family is here. There is only one person with the highest authority within the Empire, and although Duke Ascot commands the Fortress Legions, it does not mean that these armies will obey any of his orders unconditionally.

This is the counterbalance of the empire, and no empire wants to have too strong family forces in the local area, and local families like Rollo and Tieqi are also a kind of restraining force in many cases, maintaining a delicate balance between them.

The dinner was set in the hall of a huge villa, and today was the betrothal of the seventh granddaughter of Duke Ascot and a son of a nobleman, and the bride-to-be was one of Vivien's close friends.

The floor of the wide hall is paved with white alabaster, which is outlined with gold thread one by one, and the four exquisitely carved stone pillars lead straight to the dome more than ten meters high, looking up through the glass inlaid on the dome to see the star-studded night sky, a huge crystal lamp hangs down, and countless crystal clear crystals reflect the dazzling light, and the wall lamps on the surrounding walls complement each other.

Exquisite, extravagant but by no means vulgar, it fully shows the grandeur of the Imperial Duke's mansion.

On the left side of the hall is a spacious dining room, and on the right side is a separate dance floor and salon café, which is exactly the same structure as the reception hall of the mansion of the wealthy and noble people of the human race. The dining room is already set up with long tables covered with white cloth, on which guests can enjoy a variety of fine food and drinks, and in the middle are dotted with bouquets of flaming roses that can only be cultivated in a greenhouse.

The male and female nobles and knightly officers of the Storm Fortress held silver tableware in their hands, chatted with each other while enjoying delicious food, and the well-trained attendants and maids shuttled back and forth to serve attentively, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

However, in the hall, Han Fei did not see the figure of his master, Duke Ascot, and a servant of the Duke's family hurried over and whispered a few words next to Marquis Ponne.

Marquis Ponne nodded, turned to the other family elders and Vivien who were accompanying him, and said, "You go and have something to eat, and I'll go meet the Duke." ”

Of course, there was no objection, and the Marquis of Ponn followed the servants up the stairs to the second floor, while the elders dispersed to eat or chat with acquaintances.

"Miss Vivien, can I help you get some food?" asked Koop, who had been following behind him, earnestly.

"If you're hungry, go eat yourself, don't bother me!" said Vivien, waving her hand like a fly.

Ignoring Koop any more, she naturally grabbed Han Fei's arm and smiled, "Ades, let's go, I'll take you to meet my good friend!"

The smiling face seemed to have completely forgotten Han Fei's rude behavior towards her in the afternoon, and the swear and curse that wanted to give Han Fei a good look.

Koop on the side lowered his head to prevent people from seeing his face distorted and distorted by jealousy, and there was a very vicious look in his eyes.

In a corner of the hall, Han Fei met the protagonist of the dinner, Nia, the seventh granddaughter of Duke Ascot.

However, unlike what he imagined, this girl who was supposed to be wearing a white gauze skirt was actually dressed as a female knight, her figure was extremely slender, and the red knight's dress with gold trim set off her heroic, a rather beautiful face was angular as if it was carefully carved, and her dark purple eyes were sharp and sharp, faintly revealing a knight's unique fierce atmosphere.

Around the duke's granddaughter, there were five or six noble ladies with different styles gathered like stars and moons, and they were definitely the focus of attention of the noble children and young knights and officers in the hall.

"Sister Nia..."Vivien let go of Han Fei's arm and threw herself into the other party's arms like a bird, "I miss you!"

Niya smiled slightly, lowered her head and kissed Vivien's pink face, but her sharp gaze fell on Han Fei's body: "Do you really miss me? I think there is a new knight by my side, and I have long forgotten my sister!"

"yes, yes! Vivien had forgotten about us a long time ago!"

"Sister Niya, don't be fooled!"

"They came hand in hand just now, I saw it all!"

The young ladies on the side immediately followed suit, Vivian blushed, hugged Niya and said, "It's not like this..."

Could it be a pair of lilies? Looking at the eyes of the two of them, Han Fei felt a chill, but under Niya's gaze, his expression was unmoved and calm.

Vivian leaned into Niya's ear and said a few words, and Niya was suddenly a little moved, and her gaze when she looked at Han Fei became different.

"Vivien, don't whisper!" a noble lady laughed, "Why don't you introduce us to you, the knight of the guard!"

"Let me introduce you to you, this is my escort knight Adès..."Vivien glanced at the other party angrily, walked back to Han Fei's side and introduced, "Don't beat his idea!"

The ladies laughed again, their crisp laughter attracted the eyes of many admirers next to them, and Han Fei, who was in the flowers, also received a lot of attention.

"Sister Nia, where is your fiancé? Why didn't I see it?" asked Vivien, looking left and right, "I have a gift for you!"

"Don't talk about him anymore, a waste..."The corners of Niya's lips brought a sneer of disdain: "If it weren't for grandpa, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to him!"

At such a grand engagement dinner, such a blunt ridicule of her fiancé, the words and deeds of this knight lady made Han Fei look sideways, but the noble ladies, including Vivian, did not have any surprise.

"But the gift is still indispensable, take it out!" Nya laughed.

Vivien smiled, took out a beautifully wrapped box from her handbag, and delivered it to Nia like a treasure.

Niya unceremoniously took it and opened it, and inside was a dark gold bracer!

Spirit beast bracers! Isn't this the spirit beast bracers that Marquis Ponne rewarded himself with to store Wokin? In the afternoon, he was borrowed by Vivien and has not returned it until now, and she actually gave it to others as a gift!

However, Han Fei didn't mess up because of this, the spirit beast bracer was given away, anyway, no one else could take the Wojin inside, but this eldest lady's behavior was really a bit jaw-dropping.

"Spirit beast bracers!" Niya stroked the bracers in surprise, "Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Vivian secretly glanced at Han Fei, and found that Han Fei's face was calm, and a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she wrinkled her little nose and said, "What's reluctant, I'm not a knight and it's useless to keep it, it's better to give it to my sister!"

"I know Sister Vivien is the best!" Nya laughed, "Originally, my grandfather promised to give me one, but after I was promoted to Sea Warrior, now I don't have to beg him!

"No, I still have one!" Vivian glanced at Han Fei proudly, and with a flip of her slender wrist, another identical spirit beast bracer appeared in her hand.

Damn, are the spirit beast bracers so worthless? Han Fei was really a little speechless, and now what Vivien had in her hands was undoubtedly her own.

"I've heard that your Rollo family once unearthed the secret of an ancient wizard, and now it seems to be true" Niya smiled, "Then I'm welcome, so let's find a way to catch a beautiful and cute war pet and give it to you!"

"Sister Niya, it must be cuter than Woking!" Vivien pursed her lips and smiled, shook the spirit beast bracer in her hand, and with a flash of white light, Wojin appeared out of thin air and was held in her arms.

Fortunately, it is Woking who is not in a combat state, otherwise she can be directly pressed down!

"Wow! what a cute pet!" The girls next to her looked at Woking in her arms and asked in unison, "Vivien, where did you find it?"

Niya was stunned, because this incomparably cute pet gave her a sense of danger!

"Woking isn't just any pet, he's a high-level war pet!" Vivien said triumphantly, like a kid getting a novelty toy showing off to his companions.

"Well, I seem to have seen such a war pet in a book, if the above description is correct, it should be the form of a golden wolf king of the Western Continent Sand Sea after advancement!"

A voice suddenly came from the side, and Han Fei's heart suddenly shook, and he immediately turned his head to look.

I saw a handsome young nobleman with blond hair standing beside him, looking at Woking with interest.
