Chapter 32: The Second Audience
Ed shook his head firmly at Little Elinor's eyes for help, he didn't have a tendency to be abused, and he didn't think that he was lucky enough to explode, like the protagonist of the novel, he could explode in a crisis or something.
Little Eleanor had no choice but to laugh a few times, politely declined Tennison's invitation to fight, the other party shrugged his shoulders in disappointment, and the crowd who were watching here let out a sigh and dispersed to continue drinking.
"How long do you have to stay here, damn it!"
Although Tennison was also very helpless, he still praised the little fat man's acquaintance, and only those who can recognize their own strength have the opportunity to become a worthy object of loyalty, and will not blindly challenge the invincible forces with his subordinates, and let loyal subordinates die in vain.
"Sean, hurry up and exercise your spiritual energy, learn the Eight Methods of the Grand Duke as soon as possible and rise to the silver level or above, and if I haven't found a home yet, I will definitely serve you." With that, Tennison drained the ale from his glass, saluted little Eleanor with the empty glass, and turned away.
Little Eleanor was both annoyed and disappointed and a little happy, although his strength was not good, he seemed to have made the right choice, it seems that he still has to work hard!
Ignoring the little fat man who was excited alone, Ed found that others didn't care much about himself from beginning to end, and it seemed that if he wanted to be recognized by the knight, he had to rely on himself to fight a piece of the world, rather than relying on others, which was the same as the knight's approach, no matter how tall he was, he had to prove himself through the test of blood and fire on the battlefield.
The guy named Tennison also mentioned a way to break through the bronze level, which seems to be the eight daily methods exclusive to the little fat family, Ed himself has not yet reached the bottleneck of the bronze level, and his spiritual energy is still at the bronze level, but he is also always paying attention to the ways that can be further improved.
There is no zĂ i class gap between opponents of the same rank, and a bronze level like Tennison's high, he still has a chance to challenge it under certain conditions, but if he meets the silver-level guy Ed, he has no chance of winning, so he has not encountered this kind of master so far, is it because the knights of the Roland Kingdom are generally inferior or is there another reason?
Ed didn't know, he just wanted to improve his strength.
After greeting many people, Eleanor Jr. finally quieted down and drank and chatted with Eddard.
The tavern serves basically high-quality ale, and very few people are lucky enough to grab a bottle of high-quality wine and regard it as a treasure, according to little Elinor, the last time he came, the ale was only drunk by ordinary soldiers, and the knights did not bother to drink this light drink at all, who knew that more and more knights were gathered, and alcohol was in short supply, and even he, the heir of the Grand Duke, had to give in now.
Ed and he talked, listening most of the time, and the only thing the boy had tasted was Charlotte's original treasured dragon blood wine, and after that battle, the two of them used the most intimate method to kill the remaining half of the bottle.
Hearing that Ed had drunk dragon blood wine, little Eleanor couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Big brother, you're really lucky, I've only seen that thing once in my father's collection, and I begged him several times but refused to take it out and drink it, I didn't want to bring it into the coffin myself, damn it, why is this wine so tasteless, it's a human drink!"
Ed watched the little fat man join the crowd around him, shouting and scolding, complaining about the light wine he drank and cursing the damned Ingir at the same time, setting off a burst of ** in the tavern.
But he himself was suddenly separated from the world, sitting quietly in the corner alone, his thoughts drifting around the beautiful woman who didn't know the news, and thinking of the girl who left alone, Qili's girl, if he met Ingier's regular knight army, it would be troublesome.
Alone for a while, Ed stood up abruptly and pushed the wine glass in his hand, what's the use of a man being in a daze here, it's really uncomfortable not to do something.
Ed ran into the crowd, dragged the merrily little Elinor out, and stood at the door of the tavern away from the hustle and bustle.
"Hey, what's wrong, aren't you used to it?" asked the little fat man inexplicably.
Ed hesitated slightly, "Didn't you say you wanted to repay me before, then do me a favor!"
Little Eleanor was not dissatisfied, but smiled.
"That's it, I'll help if I can do it, unless you let me drink another barrel of ale, that thing is really unappetizing, haha!" He can't ask for a favor if he can sell a favor, anyway, there are no enemies around him who don't need him to work hard, most of them can be solved by occupying some family resources.
Ed told Charlotte about it, and mentioned before that they had helped and participated in the defense of Fort Amera, and now he just wanted Eleanor Jr. to help him inquire about what was going on there, and most importantly, how Charlotte was doing.
Little Eleanor pouted, "That's it, my two companions will be inquiring about who let the damned Inghir people go, and hid the news of the attack on Fort Amera, so that I will not let them go." Don't worry, I'll let them put the news of the chief officer first when I go back. But it seems that the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary, I seem to have heard of the name Charlotte, maybe it is also from which family, and this matter is on me!"
Little Eleanor is very happy, it seems that this young master is not without desire, and he can impress the real hero the most from the emotional start!
Ed solemnly expressed his gratitude, and just then, the attendants of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approached them, brought a message about Deria, and asked them to enter the main castle to meet their companions.
Little Eleanor pulled the squire aside and whispered a few words before sending them away, and he walked up to Ed, and said to Ed happily:
"Your companion is powerful enough, so good at kung fu has passed the test of several adults, I heard that now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very concerned about her, and he is reluctant to let her out of sight for a single step, as if he is afraid that he will lose the help of the savior, let's go, let's go and see if it's true." â
With that, he grabbed Ed and headed straight for the main castle with a few waiting attendants.
Facing Prince Charles again, Ed's treatment was different, and he entered a more palatial hall without informing and waiting, and the royal decorations around him reflected the armor on the guards' body with golden light, which was incompatible with the solemn atmosphere of the castle itself.
Prince Charles still sits high on the throne in the middle, surrounded by more heavyweights than clowns and courtiers, unlike previous informal meetings, where ministers, knights, generals, and religious leaders are all on the right and left.
"If you find that a strong person above the silver level appears near the host, please be cautious!"
Engraved for a long time without taking the initiative to prompt, Ed looked around, many of the high-level leaders of the Roland Kingdom are here, and it is normal for a higher level than him to appear, but I don't know who the specific people are the great knights with the strength above the silver level.
Looking again, Ed's companion Delia stood alone and seemed very close to the crown prince, closer than everyone else.
Ed didn't know how she did it, but there was no doubt that her companion had finally succeeded in gaining the trust of the crown prince, and what role would she play in the new chapter of the god's cause to which she had devoted?
