The dinner in the Tulip Duke's palace has been prepared.

The old butler Madea was in charge of the cāo office, the jīng beautiful food, the ornate banquet venue, and even the garden outside the castle was filled with tulips that symbolized the glory of the family. All the attendants were dressed in new costumes, and the musicians of the family office in the castle played soft tunes.

At the moment, in the banquet, because Duke Tulip, who is the host, is not at home. Therefore, the future Duchess Mademoiselle Vivien, who had already made up her name, greeted the guests one by one as the hostess.

But......

Obviously, the shy little silly chick seems to be very uncomfortable with this kind of horn sè.

Tonight, Vivian put on a set of white sè evening dresses specially customized for her, this pure white sè evening dress, although it sets off her innocent and pure temperament, unfortunately, the chick who seems to be used to wearing the white robe of the great magician is very uncomfortable with this kind of clothes that expose both shoulders and the entire back of the back.

Although there were two well-dressed female etiquette teachers standing behind her, quietly reminding the hostess that she should greet and give gifts to every guest who arrived, it was a pity that the little silly girl seemed to have lost the slightest aura at all at this moment...... In fact, it was as if all of her talents and aura were only manifested in magic.

Although the temperature in the ballroom was warm with blazing fireplaces on both walls, Vivien still couldn't help but reach for her shoulder lichen from time to time...... There are also those tassels that are used to decorate the back of the clothes. Sweep on the body. It seems to feel a little tickling.

Behind him were two poor female etiquette teachers. She could only cough in a low voice to stop the sorceress...... Because in this kind of banquet occasion. If the hostess scratches her ears and cheeks herself. But it's very impolite and undignified.

Vivien had already greeted the six guests at the door of the ballroom...... Fortunately. In her status as a future duchess, not every guest was qualified to greet her. Pity. Mr. Philip had already told Vivien secretly. There are also two important female guests who must be greeted in person in order to show respect.

Vivien felt that not only did her shoulders and back itch, but even her ankles ached.

Du Wei ...... He personally designed a kind of small leather shoes for women with high back roots, which Du Wei called "high root shoes". It is indeed very feminine to wear it. Vivien had the privilege of being the first to try it on. Sure enough, after putting it on. Because the heels are on the ground, the woman's body naturally leans forward, and she will unconsciously straighten her waist and chest. It can show the charm of a woman's curves.

Unfortunately it is. If this kind of shoes are worn for too long. But I'm a little tired.

Vivien was suffering from this kind of pain now, and she couldn't help but bend down and take off these shoes twenty times in her heart. And cold shoulders and back. It was cold and itchy, and her clothes were so revealing that she seemed to be in full view, and she was a little uncomfortable - unfortunately. But tonight she is still the hostess, almost half of the people. All eyes were on her.

(I will never wear this kind of clothing again...... Wei Wei made up her mind in peace, but remembered the first time she tried it on, Du Wei looked at her with a gentle and intoxicated look. The little silly girl is sweet again. I couldn't help but add a sentence in my heart (if you must wear it.) Also...... Just wear it to him!)

Nod and smile. Even if it's a smile that borders on stiffness. When you salute, keep your neck bent gracefully like a swan...... This kind of action, in Vivien's opinion. It's harder to learn than the most obscure magic spells.

(I'd rather recite the Thunder Summoning Spell a hundred times, or copy the Intermediate Mantra a hundred times)

There are also two representatives of the noble family and the merchant group from other places who are quite powerful in the province of Dessa. kept getting close to Vivien, trying to please the future duchess. The two guys were buzzing and buzzing. Vivien was already impatient. But he still had a smile on his face.

Alas...... These two guys, in order to please me. I even tried to ask what I liked best...... Want to give a gift?

What I like the most is that you two are gone now......

But. For Dewey. Determined to be a good wife, Vivian. Or play jīng god and strive to fulfill his "duty" as a wife.

Well. For Du Wei ...... I. I want to be a good wife!

At this time, the musicians outside played the music. This means that the last distinguished guest has finally arrived.

Vivien took a deep breath. He motioned to the hostesses on both sides. After the two of them gently pushed the door of the banquet hall open, Vivien finally saw the target she was waiting for.

Well...... How is it three? Isn't it two?

At the forefront is the future Prince Regent, Miss Delilee, and possibly the future Imperial Princess. This famous southern beauty. wore a navy blue sè long dress, which made her temperament as dazzling as a sapphire. In the bright eyes, there was a sparkling gaze.

As soon as the door was opened, Miss Delly's eyes were locked on Vivien's body—well, this is the fiancée of the Grand Duke Tulip?

Compared with the magicians with strange expressions in her impression, this girl was unexpectedly sweet, although her body was a little stiff, and her movements seemed to be a little out of shape when she bent down to salute, but that kind of pure and lovely appearance...... No wonder he won the love of the Grand Duke of Tulip.

Aren't all sorceresses wearing pointed hats, like witches?

Miss Delly's eyes just swept over Vivien's body, and then immediately swept over, staring at the hostess, but it was very rude.

But the people behind seem to have forgotten etiquette.

Princess Louise was dressed in a white evening dress, and when she first saw Vivien, she froze.

A thought suddenly came to my heart...... It was because of this girl that Du Wei refused to marry him?

Her Royal Highness the princess dressed in a white sè evening dress. Plus a gorgeous long skirt on the ground decoration. Make her watch

It was filled with a kind of opulence and magnificence, and she wore a crown of jewels on her head, which symbolized the status of the princess, although she had come here with a hidden identity. But before today. Probably in the heart of a woman secretly more psychological. The princess decided to wear a jewel crown to attend.

But as soon as I saw Vivien. Princess Louise regretted it.

This girl in front of you. It's so jerky that it feels pitiful. Standing there prettyly, with a shy flush on his cheeks, and his eyes were as pure as a newborn fawn, but his facial features. jīng is so good that you can't find a single flaw. Her whole person is like a natural flower.

And ...... for yourself The princess immediately regretted it. Myself in this dress. Yan Sè didn't say anything like the other party. But the style is gorgeous. Standing in front of Vivien at this moment. But it seems to have degenerated into a kind of contrived cheesiness.

Even the priceless jewels on the wrists and necks are as heavy and tacky as if they had become shackles.

And this future duchess is so elegant that it seems to have been carved without any artificial crystal...... Oh, what kind of necklace did she wear around her neck? Just a very simple chain with a tiny, inconspicuous gem hanging underneath?

If it is said. Princess Louise was just stunned because she was a woman, then. Tonight's falling snow as the princess's male companion at the banquet. This jīng spirit king was surprised, and it far exceeded his expectations!!

Originally, it seemed that he always looked like the spirit king, standing beside Princess Louise. Although his hands were still holding the princess's hand gently and unimpectently, his eyes. But he was already staring at Vivien's face with some distraction.

The look. It's as if I've seen something incredible. Such a look. Looked Vivien from head to foot and foot to foot. At last. Falling Snow's eyes rested on the necklace pendant around Vivien's neck.

This...... Is this stone ......

Colorful stones?

Is it the kind of magic gem that stores the strongest magic power, the most precious treasure of a magician, and it just hangs around his neck so casually?

You must know that the continent where the criminals live is scarce, especially minerals. Even ordinary iron ore has to be carefully calculated and saved. So much so that the army of sinners is huge. Unable to equip even the most basic weapons and armor. After having to capture Mount Kinabalu. Dig up that completely iron mountain to craft weapons.

As for the use of gem crystals in magic, not to mention! Even the jīng spirit clan, which is famous for its magical ability, is only qualified to wear some magic crystals and other land props.

And this human ...... Actually hang such a big multicolored stone around your neck?

Except for this gem. jīng Lingwang's eyes. There was a flash of excitement that even he couldn't suppress and control...... No. Maybe it's not just excitement. It seems that there is something else faintly!

The atmosphere of the scene was a little deadlocked for a while.

What made the two court etiquette teachers behind Vivian secretly break out in a cold sweat. The hostess, who had already been told by thousands of people, seemed to have forgotten all the etiquette at once, and stared straight at the two guests behind her. It seems that he was also stunned.

Vivien was stunned. In fact, there are extenuating circumstances.

She has not forgotten her etiquette. It's just that the question is......

Mr. Philip told himself that the two ladies for tonight were the future Princess Delis, and the other was Her Royal Highness Princess Louise, the sister of the current Regent.

But the question is...... Miss Delly, Vivien had already recognized. After all, her blue eyes are an obvious feature.

Can......

Can............

Which of the latter two is Princess Louise?

Don't blame Vivien for her confusion.

Because tonight, the appearance and dress of this jīng spirit king Luoxue are indeed easy to misunderstand.

The jīng spirit king, whose appearance is so beautiful that even women are jealous, has the beauty of the immaculate jīng spirit clan. And the mysterious, luxurious and delicate Tian xìng, which is unique to the jīng spirit clan, is perfectly combined with him to form a special charming temperament. In addition to this deceptive appearance, the clothes of the jīng spirit king also seem to be difficult to distinguish between men and women.

The robe worn by King Jīng was deliberately cut at the waist. Showing off his slender waist. The hem seems to be loose, and it looks a little like a skirt. And those gorgeous lines on it. It also adds a bit of femininity to the femininity. Plus he has a slightly slender and thin figure. And temperament perfectly combined.

It really baffled Vivien.

Two "female guests" in front of him. Which one is the princess, and to whom should I salute?

The two court ceremonies in the back were about to collapse...... To their surprise. It is not surprising that Vivien, who is unfamiliar with etiquette, has forgotten to salute.

But why is it that even Princess Louise is stunned? This princess grew up in the royal family. I have received the strictest court education since I was a child!

Fortunately. Soon, Vivian's rescue arrived.

"Louise, oh, dear Louise. I received news of your arrival today. I was amazed. ”

A voice came from behind Vivien. Forthwith. Mrs. Liszt smiled charmingly. She came over and took Princess Louise's hand with a beautiful woman with just the right smile on her face and a violet evening dress, which best set off her charming charm.

Mrs. Liszt came to the rescue. Wei Wei was immediately relieved and hurriedly bent down to salute the princess. At the same time, he did not forget to cast a grateful look at Madame Liszt.

"Dear Arashi. It's been a long time since I've seen you, and the last time I saw you was two and a half years ago riding on your manor in the north. The princess came to her senses. He smiled covertly, then returned the salute to Vivien. said in a reserved tone: "Miss Weiwei'an doesn't need to be polite. You are the future Grand Duchess. Now I am also given the title of court knighthood, so you don't have to be too polite to me. ”

Mrs. Liszt's face was as usual. But he sneaked a glance at Vivien. After receiving Vivien's grateful look,

Mrs. Liszt smiled secretly.

But then, she couldn't laugh!

Because of the falling snow of the Spirit King, he had just recovered from the shock of staring at Vivian. But when Mrs. Liszt came to the place, the jīng spirit king fell into an even greater shock!!

The Spirit King stared at Madame Liszt almost unabashedly, with [**] naked eyes. There was an incredible look in his eyes. Then he even breathed a little scrambled.

Mrs. Liszt because she was beautiful. I don't know how many such men have been stared at in my life. But this time. But she also faintly felt a hint of strangeness. Because of the people around this Princess Louise (forgive her, even the clever Madame Liszt didn't recognize the falling snow). Look into your eyes. It's definitely not the greedy and surprised gaze of an ordinary man who covets his beauty. It's not like a woman throws jealousy and envy......

In this look. There seems to be an extreme surprise...... It even seems to contain a hint of ......

Wrath?!

Such a look. It seems to be calm, but it seems to be able to see your heart directly through your own eyes - this. What kind of eyes are these!

Madame Liszt calmly panicked in her heart. Soon she adjusted her breathing. As if smiling, he said, "Louise." Who is this companion of yours?"

"Oh, this is Mr. Falling Snow from the North, and his identity is very mysterious. I'm also curious about the origin of Mr. Falling Snow. "An understatement. Princess Louise revealed to Madame Liszt that she did not know the exact origin of the snowfall.

The falling snow has completely calmed down at the moment. The Spirit King took a soft breath and smiled like a flower blooming, looking at Vivian. He bowed his head slightly and said softly: "Respectfully hostess, I hope that my arrival is not presumptuous. ”

His soft voice, with a hint of magnetism, was extremely pleasant. Vivian hurriedly returned the salute with what the etiquette teacher taught, and smiled stiffly: "That's my honor." ”

Then, the nervous little silly girl finally recalled all the etiquette taught by the teachers, and quickly turned around and led the distinguished guests into the banquet hall.

And at this time, the falling snow had already moved the princess's hand silently, and quietly slowed down, but landed beside Madame Liszt.

He exhaled softly, a trace of pure jīng spirit magic, carefully bunched his voice into a line, and quietly fell into Madame Liszt's ears alone.

His voice was still soft, but with a hint of coldness. Merely. To the surprise of Mrs. Liszt. This gentleman who falls gracefully and beautifully. Speak the local language. But it's not a continental language at all!

“#@#￥￥￥￥￥~~~~~~”

A very short sentence. It fell on the ears of Madame Liszt. She was stunned at first. This was followed by a daze. In an instant, the expression on her face had turned to shock and fear!

Naked terrified!

"Don't let people see it...... Half-blooded jīng ling!" The cold voice of the falling snow reached Mrs. Liszt's ears again.

Mrs. Liszt's body shook slightly. Then he immediately lowered his head, for fear that others would see his face. And only she knows. Now on their own faces. I'm afraid there won't even be a penny of blood!

Although the banquet is arranged very jīng color. But for Vivian. But it's really one of the most boring things. Fortunately, she had the princess and Miss Dellie by her side, and others didn't dare to disturb her easily. Her Royal Highness the princess's identity was quickly recognized, and she immediately became the focus of everyone. Vivien, the hostess, was finally able to hide a little more easily.

This time. To Vivien's surprise, Madame Liszt did not know when she had left. She wanted to thank her for her help. But his eyes swept over the audience. No trace of Madame Liszt was found.

Miss Daily stood beside the princess. The two of them are skillfully maneuvering among a group of flatterers.

"Are you tired?"

A soft voice came from beside her, and Vivien looked back to see Falling Snow standing behind her. He didn't know when he came quietly, and even Vivien didn't notice him approaching.

"Hmm...... OK. Vivien kept a polite smile.

The face lines are soft when falling in the snow. A pair of eyes that seemed to be flashing like gems on the ground. Quietly looked at Vivien. Although the eyes are direct, they are not ostentatious.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Luo Xue smiled gently. Then he said indifferently: "Respectfully hostess." Can you accommodate a small request from me, a guest?"

"Uh, please. Vivien was stunned for a moment.

"To be honest, I'm bored with this kind of occasion as well. Luoxue's smile was so appropriate that even his voice seemed to be darkened with some kind of extremely supple rhythm: "In my opinion." Actually, you don't like this kind of occasion, do you? ”

Vivi felt a little good about this strange beauty, but she didn't know how to answer. He smiled slightly.

"Exactly. I've heard. The city was built in just three months. And this castle. It's a miracle among miracles. Can you show me around?" Falling Snow quietly winked at Vivien, then lowered her voice and whispered, "Anyway, I don't think they can get out of it for a while. We quietly walked away for a short while. No one will notice. ”

Vivi was relieved, though a little unpleasant. However, she remembered what the etiquette teacher said today: "Try to meet the appropriate requests of the guests."

Take guests on a tour of their own home. I guess it's "appropriately requested".

Vivien nodded. And then. The Spirit King smiled slightly, made a gesture lightly, and pointed to the side door next to the closest place where the two of them were standing. Vivien nodded.

Easily mingled out of the hall. Not too many people noticed the two leaving. After leaving the banquet hall. Luoxue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Alas. Human life is really troublesome, is this kind of banquet the favorite enjoyment of the nobles......

"Huh?" Vivi

Ann seemed a little dazed by this sentence.

Luo Xue raised her eyebrows, and immediately said, "I heard that Duke Tulip was originally from a martial arts family, and I think it is in this castle." There must be some room dedicated to displaying weapons. Can you take me to see it?"

"Weapons?" Vivien froze...... Would this beautiful and delicate man also be interested in weapons?

But a guest asks for it. It is the honor of the owner. Vivien could only play jīng. Leaving the banquet hall with the falling snow, he passed through the zhōngyāng of the castle. I came to the door of a room on the other side.

Gently pushed the door open. Vivien stuck out her tongue, "This is the only weapons hall in the castle. Du Weita. Actually, I don't like martial arts. So...... We don't have a lot of weapons collections. ”

Walking into this room, there is still a lot of space inside, on a metal high shelf in the middle. Lying flat was a spear of astonishing shape, which radiated a faint black glow around its body. It is made of high-quality jīng iron.

And obviously. This extra-long spear. It's an imitation. It is based on the legendary spear of the earth knight "Spear of Longcinus", and it is imitated one by one.

Many nobles have weapons collections in their homes. Even if it's just vassal elegance. It's not uncommon to get such a thing to decorate the façade.

But the falling snow saw it. But there was a strange glint in his eyes.

He walked over slowly. Or even reach out. Stroke slowly on the spear. He fingered thinly. When I crossed the spear ground. It's as soft as a musician's fingers playing an organ.

After a long time, Luoxue let out a long sigh: "The spear of Longcinus...... Legend has it that the warrior is the strongest artifact. A real artifact...... Ten thousand years ago, the gods of the earth were in war. The goddess is the most loyal and powerful legendary saint warrior. It was with this spear that he defeated the enemies of the Goddess Land. Those...... Other gods of the earth. This is a divine spear stained with the blood of the gods......"

Vivien blinked. Luo Xue said these words in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself. Vivien only heard half of it. I don't quite understand what the other party means.

Falling snow came back to her senses. Immediately let go of the hand. Turn around to look at the surrounding walls.

Du Wei made his fortune selling all kinds of high-end weapons in the business shop in the Imperial Land, so naturally there are a few masterpieces of jīng beauty here. It's just these things. The degree of magnificence far outweighs the degree of utility. Gorgeous. In fact, they are all vulnerable. Like those armors. Open space pattern. It's hard to say how much real defense it can have.

But...... This is a style that wants to be gorgeous. But on the contrary, it greatly conforms to the taste of the jīng spirit clan. Falling Snow looked at them one by one. I'm actually quite interested. Even from time to time, he even commented on a few of the flaws. And it's not evaluated from the point of view of the weapon - from the point of view of the art place.

"If this engraving is three points deeper, then the overall effect will be more ......"

After looking at seven or eight pieces of the collection, Falling Snow's eyes fell on the long sword in the middle of the wall in this room.

This is the tallest weapon rack in the room. On either side stood two one-man tall shields of gold. It is carved with a flame tulip pattern.

And it doesn't match this gorgeous foil. The sword in the middle seemed too mediocre.

The scabbard is a fine metal. It also includes the finest hides. Merely. It seems to be a little old. There are some scratches on the metal scabbard. Even the hides - although they are well maintained. But there is also some denitrification.

And on the hilt of the sword. Ribbed one by one. It is to give the person holding the sword more powerful control of the weapon......

It's not a collector's item, it's like a real weapon...... But what is strange is that in this house full of gorgeous weapons collection, this is the only real weapon. But it doesn't seem to be anything brilliant.

It's just an ordinary sword.

Luoxue seemed a little curious, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the hilt of the sword, and even wanted to pull it out to take a closer look at what was so special about this sword - it could actually be placed in the innermost and most important position in this room?

Before his hands could touch the hilt of his sword......

Behind. At the door, a calm voice came in. With a hint of laziness.

"I'm sorry. You can't touch that sword. ”

With this sound. A man walked in slowly.

Hearing this, the expression on Vivien's face changed from shock to infinite joy in an instant, and she immediately turned away and stared at the visitor incredulously. Then finally exclaimed.

"Ahh......h You, you're back?!"

"It's the ground. I am back. There seemed to be a hint of tiredness in Du Wei's smile. walked over, and first gently hugged his little fiancée's waist. Then calmly look straight at the falling snow.

In Du Wei's eyes. Without revealing the slightest change of mind, it is as deep as the sea.

The two looked at each other.

"Hello. You must be the Grand Duke of Tulip. I'm falling snow. King Jīng said slowly.

"Oh...... I already knew your name from my men before I came in. Distinguished guests. Du Wei nodded, but then, suddenly, he asked a straightforward question.

"Uh...... With all due respect. Du Wei scratched the hair on the back of his head very disregardantly. Laughing: "This ...... What puzzles me is, are you a man or a woman?"

(Try to write a little more, starting tomorrow, and recovering as promised.) These four days have been well rested. I've been waiting for you.

Also, don't pay attention to the scolding in the book review section, I'm used to it anyway, hehe.

Support my readers, don't have to scold loudly with others, we can read books with peace of mind, thank you.

Look forward to the gorgeous collision between Du Wei and Jīng Lingwang.
