That afternoon, at the gracious invitation of Ms. Raul, Aaron and Eleanor did not leave Ms. Raul's estate, but stayed and attended Ms. Raul's ball.

Aaron opened the show with a performance of "The Palace of the Shalis" in the cheers of the crowd, and his melodious singing, magnetic voice and completely unskillful, all-emotional playing detonated the atmosphere of the scene.

"Welcome to the palace of the Shalishi~"

"What a lovely place, what a lovely face."

"There are so many rooms in the Shalishi Palace~"

"All year round, at any time, you can find this place~"

Relying on the violin presented by Samir, Aaron maximized his power of Slaanesh, and his seductive skills overwhelmed the entire venue, even the lowest-ranking servants couldn't help but sing along with Aaron, and everyone on the dance floor, whether it was a druyin, a mage, or even a paladin, swayed in unison as if they had been drugged.

Aaron is spreading the Corruption of Slaanesh, and so far, it's working well.

After the song was finished, Aaron got off the stage to dance with Eleanor, and then secretly left the dance floor and found a place to sit and rest.

Naturally, Miss Pastor, as Aaron's female companion, stared at him the whole time, and many people wanted to come up and dance with Aaron, but they were politely rejected by Aaron.

After all, Eleanor was watching.

Holding the charming Miss Priest in his arms, Aaron leaned back on the long chair and put his hand into the hem of Eleanor's skirt, feeling the extreme silky and delicate fullness, and did not speak.

Eleanor carefully covered her skirt with one hand to prevent others from noticing Aaron's hand groping around her legs in gray aurora silk, and Miss Pastor looked at the eight or nine pairs of men and women dancing on the grand dance floor, and saw the poet laureate from the Harper's League reciting a song on the stage, and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, isn't Madame Raul going to attack Arabel? So why is she still having a banquet here? It's a big deal, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's expensive." Aaron nodded, and he put one hand around Eleanor's waist and kissed her on the lips, "You must be wondering, why did Lady Raul spend so much money on this banquet when she had already scattered all her wealth to recruit the army?"

"How do I know what's going on in your aristocratic circles?" Eleanor had changed back into her previous dress and high heels, and when Miss Pastor saw that there was no one around, she let Aaron rub the oil, and she said with some emotion, "If you let me go back to a year ago, and think about it ten thousand times, I wouldn't think that I, a priest, would find a noble boyfriend."

"Ms. Raul is doing so many events because she needs everyone's help and more people to join." Aaron sighed: "For aristocrats, decency is the most important thing many times, even if they are poor, even if they are struggling to operate, they must maintain decency, expenses, and pomp."

Aaron didn't understand many things in his previous life, but after he really became a nobleman in this life, he realized how the aristocratic circle played.

….

In the kingdom, the nobility maintained decency, often to the point of bankruptcy!

For example, the nobles' favorite sport is fox hunting, where everyone goes hunting together on a manor in the countryside in the summer.

The price of a fox-hunting dog is as high as 400-700 gold lion coins, which is equivalent to the annual income of a relatively well-to-do middle-class family (based on the income of a good blacksmith).

(The master dwarven craftsman Fujar earns more than 1,000 gold lion coins a year, and a good business of 2,000-3,000 is not a problem.) ）

In fact, Eleanor is a priest of Suren in Shenhai Town, and her annual expenses are only 60-100 gold lion coins, which is already a relatively comfortable life, you must know that the two middle-aged maids in Aaron's family, in addition to food and accommodation, he pays the two maids a year to add up to 75 gold lion coins, and it has only recently risen to 80.

But there is

The annual cost of the hunting dogs and horses raised by the fox hunting sports alone is as high as 4,000-5,000 gold lion coins!

How many Arabellish refugees in the camp can be saved with this money?

That's why Aaron is not interested in donating.

If nothing else, let's just talk about this manor, why does Ms. Raul need twenty or thirty servants to maintain this manor? The annual salary of a lowly-level handyman maid is at least 30 gold lion coins, and it usually takes 35-40 to find a maid who is qualified and can do most of the housework.

How much does it cost?

Not to mention the social expenses, in addition to the aforementioned fox hunt, the nobles of Cormier held various social dinners, drinking parties, speeches, plays, etc., all of which were large expenses.

What? You said you didn't attend the event in order to save money?

Well, it turns out that you are the shame of the legendary nobles! Don't think someone will take you to play.

And the Salian family, who was robbed of the title before, has already fallen into the shame of the nobility, Aaron's father Manuel does not have so much money to participate in social activities and maintain the dignity of the family, and the influence of the Salian surname has been declining, and there is no one to play with them in the aristocratic circle in the back.

Therefore, the aristocratic circle gave Aaron the nickname "The Last Salian", in addition to regretting it, it was also somewhat malicious.

"But now they're starting to play with you again?" Eleanor shook her calves, and Miss Priest asked curiously, "Didn't you say that Salian had no influence anymore?"

During this time, Eleanor had already begun to help Aaron with some things at home, and invitations to various New Year's banquets came like snowflakes.

"Isn't that your boyfriend doing a lot of things?" Aaron hugged Eleanor and smiled: "The aristocratic circle is like this, if you are very powerful and influential, then the less you need pomp and decency, if you lack strength and have no actual position in the court, then the more you need to maintain decency, even if you are in debt, you need it more."

"Because only in this way can we ensure that there is still a chance to turn over."

Taking risks is risky and kills! There is no risk in doing pomp and decency, at most it is just debt!

For the aristocracy, how to choose is not clear at a glance?

can live a life of fine clothes and food at home, who wants to go out and fight to the death?

"Meaning, your aristocratic circle is really dirty!" Eleanor was speechless, and Miss Pastor pinched Aaron's face: "Anyway, you can't be like that! I have an obligation to keep you away from those unclean and corrupt lives~"

….

Aaron just laughed, "Okay, dear~"

The little couple was in the corner and I was farming for a while, and finally someone found them.

Holding a glass of liquor in her hand and wearing a black feathered peacock diamond fairy high-neck see-through dress, Ms. Karina from the Harpists League swayed her body closer, she decisively ignored Eleanor, who was held by Aaron, and her eyes lit up with pink hearts: "Your Excellency Aaron Salian, may I be honored to be able to dance with you?"

With that, the lady Karina licked her lips and looked eager to swallow Aaron in one gulp.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I would have liked to accept your invitation, but I'm going to accompany my girlfriend." Aaron smiled calmly.

"Oh, Your Excellency, your girlfriend is very good, I don't think she needs your company for so long, you still have a long time with her." Rejected outright by Aaron, Ms. Karina was a little disappointed.

"You're right, so I'm the same for you." Aaron nodded.

The lady of the Harper's League realized Aaron's verbal trap, and she reluctantly glanced at Eleanor, and saw that Miss Reverend had no intention of getting up from Aaron's lap, and reluctantly left.

"You're so welcome." After Ms. Karina was gone, Eleanor snorted in a strange voice, very cute, "Do you want me to avoid it first?" Is an hour enough?"

"I was thinking, there should be a room in Ms. Raul's manor, right?" Aaron said meaningfully, as his big hand inside Eleanor's skirt crept

Quietly stretch up.

Miss Pastor immediately slapped his big hand away as if she had been electrocuted: "No! I don't want to be in a place like this, who knows how many people have been in this kind of room before?"

"But......," Aaron said aggrievedly.

"No, you can't!" Eleanor was resolute: "I emphasize again, Aaron, at home, in our room, I do whatever you want, but it's absolutely not okay outside, it's dirty!"

Aaron sighed, Miss Priest was a bit heavy on cleanliness in this regard, and he respected Eleanor's thoughts.

After a few more moments, Abi Gale, a mage from Waterdeep, appeared, holding a wine glass in his hand, "Hello, Lady Dinefur, Lord Salian, can you forgive me for the trash talk in the duel?"

"Hello, Mr. Gale from Waterdeep." Aaron smiled brightly, "Of course, please be seated."

Gail sat two positions away from Aaron, and the mage opened his mouth for a few unnutritious conversations, and then immediately asked, "About your magic...... I'm interested, and so are my colleagues."

"So, we invite you to visit Waterdeep at a time you see fit, and we look forward to seeing you show us your magic so that we can explore the mysteries of the web and the source of the arcane."

"If you have the chance, you will." Aaron didn't answer positively.

"I'm serious, with your magical talent, as long as you are willing to go to Waterdeep, you will definitely have a chance to become a masked lord in the future." Gail raised his glass, "This is the first time I've seen a warlock with arcane manipulation like you."

….

"So, I can bring my talent to the West Coast?" Aaron smiled.

"If that's what you think, then why not?" Gail set his eyes on Eleanor, "Waterdeep even has the largest altar of the Silver Madonna, the Moon Mansion."

Yes, the largest temple in the country is in Waterdeep, and it is a great building known as the Mansion of the Moon.

The three of them talked for a while, and Samir and Elunora came: "Aaron, Eleanor, Gail, you are all here."

"Miss Raul, please."

Ten minutes later, in the inner chamber of the manor, Lady Raul, wearing a phoenix tiara and dressed in earl's dress, met Aaron and Eleanor in the room.

"You may be seated, son of Manuel, the flower of the sunken sea of the Silver Lady." The furnishings in the room were relatively simple, mostly quaint and old-fashioned, and a smile broke out of Lady Raul's face when she saw Samir come in with Aaron and Eleanor.

"I'll ask you one last time, Viscount Salian, are you really going to join the battle for Arabel?" The lady lord was succinct as she stared at Aaron, "Alice Serre told me about you."

"You are the last bloodline of the Salian family, you have unlimited talent, you are the key cultivation object of the royal family, and your strength is not bad...... Salian, I tell you honestly, I have no certainty of victory in this war, and even so, are you going to participate?" Sitting behind her desk, Ms. Raul pulled out a file bag from a drawer: "War is not child's play, Son of Manuel, I fought alongside your father, and I don't want ......"

"I hope." Aaron laughed, and he shook his head repeatedly, "Did my father think about this when he fought his life to save the kingdom from being overthrown by evil, and when he died in a bloody battle with a few drows under Tifanton?"

"I'm a nobleman of Cormier, Lady Raul, I don't need much reason to fight for my country, I've enjoyed so much."

"I know what you mean, but it's my choice."

"Your choice?" Miss Raul smiled noncommittally and didn't continue, "There's always a reason for any choice, Salian, I've been an adventurer!"

Aaron knew he was going to get some dry goods, but Ms. Raul was still suspicious of his motives for joining the Restoration.

He needed to dispel that doubt.

It was not good for him to tell Ms. Raul directly about the fief, because it was a private agreement between him and Alicesell.

Fortunately, he still has a 10,000 yuan

Capable cards.

"I've seen a lot of statues in the royal library, my Countess." Aaron quietly changed the subject: "And I heard that in Susar's library, there is a special room called the Purple Dragon Pavilion, which is used to store the portraits of the heroes of the kingdom for thousands of years."

"Yes, that's right." Lady Raul nodded, "Only true Kingdom heroes can be painted by painters and hung in the room to show their exploits, and these people are called 'heroes on the wall,...... You want to be a 'hero on the wall, don't you?'

"It's not me." Aaron shook his head, "It's my father, and my father has always had a wish, he wants to be a hero on the wall."

"I'm tired of being called the son of Manuel, Lady Raul, and I wish people would remember his father who was the hero of the wall and say, 'Oh, he's Aaron Salion's father!'" Aaron's eyes burned, and the young man unabashedly revealed his ambition: "I want my father to become a member of the 'Wall Heroes, painted in the Purple Dragon Pavilion, and later mentioned Manuel in the history books, and write that his greatest contribution is that he and the war mage Yin Lizabeth gave birth to me, Aaron Salian!"

….

"It's a little bit of selfishness, Ms. Raul, and it's not in conflict with fighting for my country."

As soon as Aaron said this, the last bit of doubt about Millman Raul finally dissipated, and she nodded slowly: "What a big ambition, Aaron Salian, you want Manuel to be selected for the Purple Dragon Pavilion of the Wall Hero Portrait just by giving birth to you, do you know how far you have to go?"

"Let's start with the recovery of Arabel, my lady lord." Aaron said, "What could be more glorious than shedding blood for the kingdom?"

"Good! Very good!" Madame Raul couldn't help but laugh heartily, clapping her hands vigorously with uninhibited joy in her laughter: "I used to think that the old Salian family was finished! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, just like the Phoenix Nirvana, the Salian family finally came out with such a character!"

"I accept your joining, O son of Manuel, take this and report to the Grand Army Camp in Evening Star by February 15th, and prepare to fight for Cormier." Ms. Raul took out a roll of parchment and handed it to Aaron, "This is my warrant!"

"Thank you." Aaron took the warrant and held it in his hand.

"And this, this is the information of the orc Great Khan Tujin, you can also take it back and take a look." Lady Raul took out another long roll of parchment and mentioned Tukin's name, and Lady Raul almost subconsciously covered the scar on her face, "I know you have done many feats before, but war is not like adventure, and if we want to defeat the orc tribe entrenched in Arabel, we must face Tugin and his ancestral army!"

"An army of ancestors?" Aaron took the parchment roll.

"Hmm! This orc Great Khan is not only a super shaman himself, he is also the favored one of the orc main god One-eyed!"

"He has a pair of legendary totem poles, each condensed through witchcraft using the blood of his orc parents."

"He can summon the ancestral spirits of orcs to join the battlefield through this pair of totem poles!"

"My army and I were defeated by the Ancestral Spirit summoned by Tukin! Those pure killing machines have scattered my armies and slaughtered my people."

"Therefore, if we want to recover Arabel, in addition to defeating the thousands of orc tribes under Tukin's command, and more than 10,000 Hu servants composed of goblins, goblins, half-orcs, gnolls, mountain giants, ogres, and kobolds, our most powerful enemy is the soul of the orc ancestors summoned by Tukin."

"They gave me the biggest defeat of my life."

"My entire battalion of 200 guards was slaughtered by them to cover my escape, and they stripped their bones and bones."

"I can only take this loss once, just once...... So this time, either I cut off Tukin's head to comfort the souls of the soldiers, or my head was hung on Tukin's totem pole."

"It's a very tough war, Aaron Salian, it's a lot tougher than you think."

"This is also your last

This is a chance to quit."

"Don't be in a hurry to make a decision, read the information I gave you first."

"I'll be waiting for you at the camp in Evening Star until February 15th."
