Today, the Blue Dragon family's station in the royal capital is brightly lit.

There is a special banquet building in the station, a house close to 30 meters high, a hall dedicated to eating and dancing, with a height of 20 meters, and a circle of lounges around the hall, which can meet the different needs of the guests.

On one side of the hall, a striking staircase leads to the second floor, the lowest step of which is large and wide enough to serve as a place for banquet hosts to speak.

Next to the staircase is the orchestra pit, in which there are standard instruments, the musicians are all artists supported by the Blue Dragon family, usually live in the residence, and the rest of the space is separated by a large dance area and a lounge area with sofas and buffet tables.

The rand arrived at 5 o'clock, and ate in the lounge area in the hall first, most of the guests did not come at this time, and the rand would not look vulgar if he took more.

"Lord Viscount, you haven't been back to school for the past two days, are you not going to read any more books after being knighted?" While Rand was quietly eating, Gruena suddenly came over and asked Rand.

"Teacher Greya, thank you for your concern, there is no end to knowledge, I can't spare time in Wangdu these days, I really can't use my limited energy to explore infinite knowledge" Rand explained with a wry smile, "I will go back to school after finishing the rehearsal tomorrow, and take advantage of these days to go to the library to study more." ”

"Without perseverance, you can't go far on the path of transcendence." Gruya's golden eyes stared at Rand, and her tone was very sincere.

"Thank you for the reminder," Rand said suddenly, "I also want to thank you for your generous teaching, I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you to dance in a moment?" ”

"Me?" The dragon girl was suddenly stunned, and her face was a little red.

At this time, Rand noticed that the dragon girl was wearing an exaggerated long dress, which perfectly set off her strong and plump figure, and Rand almost asked the dragon girl if she had two bags for flames.

The long skirt covered Gurea's thick tail, and it was hard for Rand to imagine how a 3-meter-long tail could be wrapped up in this floor-to-ceiling skirt, but he felt that without a beautiful tail, he would not be able to leave the figure of a dragon girl.

"Okay... All right... It is... I'm not very good at jumping," the dragon girl blushed, her eyes unconsciously glanced to the side.

"Neither will I," Rand said with a smile, hoping that the dragon girl would dispel her concerns.

When it was almost 6 o'clock, there were more and more guests, most of them were older barons or viscounts, and there were also many business partners or old friends of the Blue Dragon family, most of them came here to have a personal party, and some wanted to talk about some business while everyone was together.

At this time, Rand probably understood Antrechi's intention to ask Rand to invite Grua to dance.

There was an aura around Gu Leia, there was no one within two meters of her, and the dragon girl was used to it, just drinking tea gracefully and silently, and did not take the initiative to chat with anyone.

Rand wanted to talk to the Dragon Maiden, but was stopped by a neighbor, the baron of Tony Downer Galloping Horse, who was from Rand's family, and most of the family lived on Mangrove Island in the Southeastern Kingdom.

Rand had long heard that the largest branch of the Galloping Horse family was the Marquis of Mangrove Island in the Southeast Kingdom, but he didn't expect to meet it in the royal capital.

"Seeing that Mr. Rand has the level of an intermediate knight at such a young age, he is really a young talent of our galloping horse family" Tony Downer is also a mid-level knight himself, and he looks about the same age as Rand, but he doesn't spare any compliments.

"Where, where, it's just relying on His Majesty's protection and his own luck" Rand didn't introduce his origins, and he didn't want to be noticed too much, he just wanted to say hello to Tony, but he didn't expect Tony to be very talkative.

"Rand, are you a local nobleman of the dragon? Then I'm already going to come to Mangrove Island as a guest," Tony chatted, his eyebrows fluttering, "Our Marquis is now the leader of the Galloping Horse family, and is willing to support clansmen from all over the world. ”

The Marquis of Mangrove Island had already learned about the movements of the barbarians on the Galloping Horse Plain this year from the direction of the imperial capital, and now he was desperately hoping to find out the news from the local nobles.

Gradually, the guests arrived, and at this time, the chatter in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the steps, and the legendary knight McLaren Blue Dragon came down from the second floor to meet the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, all the relatives and friends of the Blue Dragon Family, the New Year is approaching, as the Duke of the Blue Dragon Family, thank you for your care and help to the Blue Dragon Family over the past year." McLaren was still wearing his sapphire blue gown, but there were more magic badges and decorations on his chest than the last time he had seen them, and the badges were expensive in the light.

"In the past year, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, although there were always crises, but with the joint efforts of everyone, we overcame the most difficult moments.

I believe that in the new year, we will continue to work together to make the friendship last forever and the foundation will last forever. As he spoke, the legendary knight raised his glass, "Everyone, salute Your Majesty's 997 years."

"Salute" to the guests present all raised their glasses to celebrate.

Then the legendary knight began to toast with the distinguished guests, starting with the Marquis and then the Count.

Because it was the Blue Dragon Family's ball to thank the partners of the Imperial Capital, the legends of the other families did not come, but only sent representatives of the Marquis, and the King Family and the White Owl Family were represented by the eldest son of the White Owl.

The present king himself, Dusen Whitelord, is the Earl of the North, and his eldest son, Harboran Whitelord, is the de facto ruler of the present-day Northern Earl.

At the end of the toast, McLaren walked up to Rand, touched Rand specifically, and then introduced to everyone, "Gentlemen, this is the Viscount of Rand Galloping Horse, the Viscount of Northwest Lot, and the Viscount of His Majesty's Court who is about to be entitled, and the new owner of the salt mine on the Galloping Horse Plain!" ”

McLaren's words shocked all the guests at once, no human nobleman has been able to take the salt mine of the Galloping Horse Plain for 300 years, but he didn't expect this viscount in front of him to succeed.

"Viscount Rand is well aware of the righteousness and is willing to supply salt to the kingdom in accordance with the contract of his ancestors, and the entire kingdom will have a reliable supply of salt in the future, let us toast to Viscount Rand together!" The legendary knight's sonorous voice suddenly made Rand the focus of the audience.

Lante, who drank the wine, understood McLaren's deep meaning, although the salt and iron division had reached an agreement with the barbarians in the past, but they could not get on the table after all, and could only let the original Viscount Bob be a second-class dealer.

Now that Rand has taken the salt mine, the Blue Dragon family can use Rand to launder the entire inventory of salt in the Galloping Horse Plain, and those who know the truth privately will not be able to use this matter to control the Blue Dragon family in the future.

After drinking with Rand, the legendary knight returned to the staircase area and announced the official start of the ball, after which he invited one of his ladies to dance first and left.

"Congratulations to Viscount Rand" After McLaren left, the first person to come up to congratulate was Tony Downer Galloping Horse, Tony was anxious to know how much of Rand had won the Galloping Plain now, and whether he was already the real owner of Galloping Horse, "I wonder what Mr. Viscount's plans are for the future?" When do you plan to regain Night Qicheng? ”

"Look at what you said, it's not easy for me to supply salt now, and I still have to protect the salt mine, where is the energy to explore and recover the night qi?" After Rand toasted to Legend, he had already figured out all sorts of words that might reduce the interest of others in him.

"The Plains of the Running Horse is the hometown of the entire Running Horse family, if Viscount Rand needs the support of the family, he must tell me," Tony was extremely real at the moment, holding Rant's hand tightly, "It's hard to say, we can still send a few Magisters." ”

"Thank you so much, I'll count it when I go back, and I'll tell you the results as soon as I have them!" Rand also held Tony tightly, talking nonsense sincerely, he had been in the workplace for a few years, and if he played the ball and dragged the progress, he would come with his mouth open.

This Tony is also a veteran, and he feels that something is wrong just by listening to Rand's words, and just as he wants to continue grinding and grinding, Rand is rescued by Antrechi.

"Knight Tony, Viscount Rand and I have something to discuss... Antrechi looked at Tony with a smile.

"Ah, of course" In front of the new generation of talents of the Blue Dragon Family, Tony didn't dare to make a mistake.

。。。。。

In the rest area, a group of women from the Blue Dragon family were whispering to Gu Leiya.

"Didn't you look at that pure-blooded dragonborn, so tall, how dare anyone ask her to dance?"

"That's it, I heard that she has a big tail behind her, and I guess it's crossed over her legs now, and she can't even walk."

"Be quiet, I heard she's about to break through"

"So what, our kids are almost big knights, and she can still come and beat me?"

As a dragon mage who was about to break through to the high rank, Gu Leiya heard these fly-like buzzing sounds very clearly, but she didn't care about them, and since she activated her bloodline, her bloodline talent far surpassed that of her peers, which made her suffer too much criticism.

The only reason she hasn't left here today is because someone wants to ask her to dance, and this is the first time since she broke through to the intermediate level.

"Miss Grea, can I invite you to do a dance?" Rand walked up to Gurneya and invited with the most standard of etiquette.

"Of course," Gurea agreed with a smile, putting her hand on Rand's hand, and the two walked hand in hand to the dancing area.

"Is anyone really invited?"

"It's that viscount, how come a very good young man doesn't have any eyesight, and he's not afraid of being thrown out."

Neither Rand nor Grua paid attention to the gossip, but took the dance steps very seriously, trying not to be stepped on by the other party.

No matter how elegant you are before dancing, you still have to be careful when you actually dance.

"Ah, I'm sorry" Even if you are careful with your feet, Gureya's tail will still sweep to the people around her.

"I have the opportunity to invite you to dance on the prairie, I have thrown off the jump when I am on the plain of the galloping horses, and no one will touch anyone" Rand looked at Gulea, wanting to say something to relieve him.

"That probably doesn't quite match the original purpose of dancing," Grea laughed, "but in that case, how many people would be needed in a band?" ”

"Where is there a band in our territory, half of the people dance, and the other half sing."

"Haha, I've heard your barbarian songs," Grea recalled a recent visit to the Northwest Territories. "By the way, Lord Viscount."

"If you can, please call me Rand, you have already reached the Great Knight, there is no need to call me like that" Rand felt that he and the dragon lady in front of him were gradually able to adapt to dance music, at least the last four eight beats did not step on each other.

"Okay, Knight Rand, can you take me with you when you go back to school tomorrow? It's too conspicuous for me to fly back by myself" Gureya was a little embarrassed, the school and family generally did not arrange carriages for her, and she flew back and forth by spells.

"Of course, I'm going to meet my boss in Longtai Mountain tomorrow afternoon, and then I'll come here to pick you up" Rand was happy to be able to follow Long Niang all the way back to school.

"One more thing, I'm not a knight, I'm a dragon mage," Gulya cares a lot about what others think of her profession.

"Ah, I heard you can fight 4 barbarian cavalry with your bare hands."

"That's simply because they're too weak," the dragon lady's explanation was so convincing that Rand even felt the tail under her skirt move happily.

At the end of the song, the dancers came down to rest, Rand and Gruya also came down, and Rand, who had completed his mission, was ready to go home, and tomorrow he would get up early to go to the palace for rehearsals.
