An invitation came to Andrew. The cover was carved with a carved knife, and the faint fragrance of lily was immediately attracted by his attention. Andrew put the breakfast aside, sat at the desk in his pajamas, and handled the morning letters and documents first as he was every day. There was nothing to worry about in the territory, so he picked up the fragrant invitation first.
"Invitation to Lily Gust's adult birthday party? Why is Gust... completely unimpressed? Kante! Is Kante there?"
From the next room, a middle-aged man wearing a lapel shirt came in. It was Kanter, Andrew's housekeeper. Pierce helped Andrew summarize the official documents and the affairs of the territory. When asked about daily letters, he would like to ask Kanter.
"Gust is Feinberg's viscount, and it has been the seventh generation since then. The previous generation of Viscount Gust opposed the war between Feinberg and the Principality of Aria. When Feinberg's pseudo-king recruited soldiers, he only sent the smallest force, and the conflict between the two sides was also placed on the surface. Now, the Gust family's manor and territory in Feinberg were directly managed by the pseudo-royal family, and their families all left Feinberg and came to the area of ​​the sect to live and hide."
"That is to say, he has not been deprived of the title of viscount, but it is just an empty shell?" Andrew suddenly lacked interest: "What did he come to me for? I am not the Earl of Hall. If you want to find someone to help him get the territory and manor back, it doesn't matter to the lighthouse."
"Maybe it's because of the illness, you're in a hurry to seek medical treatment." Kanter said: "Although they lost their territory and manor, it is said that their family had already transferred most of their property outwards. There was also a team of witch and ghost soldiers from the desert islands around them. They had amazing combat power, so no one dared to bully them."
"Desert Islands? Is it the evil place where slave trade is still preserved? The Gust family has dated those slave owners, and the decline of their family is the punishment made by the goddess." Andrew threw the invitation back to the table and wiped his hands gently. "I'm about to hold a wedding, and it's not suitable to attend the little girl's birthday party. Just refuse for me, don't be too polite."
"There is one thing I haven't said yet. Master Feiqi is going to that dance party."
"What did he do? Although he doesn't have the surname Hall now, outsiders will still regard him as part of the Hall family, and then think of me... Feinberg's viscount, the last thing I want to contact now is people related to Feinberg."
"Baron Goron, the champion of the single competition event of the competition competition challenged Master Feiqi. I think he thinks that the single competition championship without Master Feiqi participated is a bit unworthy of his name?"
Hearing this, Andrew raised his head and breathed in his chair, sighing: "Who could have thought that if he left Tawugang City and came to the Sunset Mountains, such a big change would become a benchmark for the strong people in the eyes of others. Kanter, it will only take a year to make a decision from him leaving the house?"
“Yes, it was the last June.”
Andrew pondered for a while, then picked up the invitation from the table, adding the title, greeting, text, sincerity and signature, but he looked over and over again. "I decided not to go, but you were more polite when replying and prepared her birthday gifts - I don't know her hobbies - a nun's dagger, which is expensive. Add a sentence in the reply, saying that Feiqi is rather naughty, if it causes inconvenience, please take care of him more, probably that's it."
"I've written it down, I'll do it now." Kanter retreated.
Andrew stayed alone in the study. The ball was explained, so he would not ask about it again. What he was thinking about is the single-player competition champion's duel. He recalled the various battles with his younger brother Feich for thousands of times. From hitting with sticks when he was a child, to changing to training swords after learning martial arts, to using real swords and guns. No one knows Fitch's abilities better than him, or wasted talents.
"Father, if you didn't teach him the chaotic and deceitful things of the ordinary nobles, but let him enter the church to study early, he would have been... He would have been better than me in the past." Andrew fell into memory for a long time, and the breakfast was cold. In the end, he didn't eat it, but went to the teachings to pray.
Feiqi ate very well, eliminating the fatigue of physical recovery training before, and cheering up his spirits. After all, it was a dance party tonight, and the duel was today. He deliberately looked through his memories and had all the knowledge of dance steps. "He" was still a good player, but now he lacked interest in dancing. Besides, there is still a competition tonight, and the dance can be pushed away.
As a magician, you can do not use swords or other things, but Feiqi still asked him to bring them with him. He had an intuition, maybe the intuition of the devil, that is, this Baron Goron is not necessarily the kind of upright person. After agreeing to the competition, he thought about it carefully and felt that he should have been studying magic for too long and his brain power was a bit powerful, and he did not think clearly about some parts.
The competition held by the Jiao Shu was just to select some potential talents for the model and increase popularity. Even the grudges between human knights and elf warriors were added later, and they can only be regarded as highlights at most. Therefore, winning the championship in this competition is of course gratitude, but it is not that important, that is, the level of bragging when you meet a beautiful woman. The real swordsman master has not come. Is there any "Feich" on the road to the championship?
Goron is a baron. He already has a title, and the stage of model leadership is a bit small for him. Does he really need to take Fitch to "complease" the title of champion? Unless his personality is to cherish reputation and be hungry and eat without choosing - in short, be careful.
Gust's manor is outside the city, not far from the common border of the Christian Puppet, Feinberg and the Principality of Aria. Although this area is not a battlefield - in order to avoid affecting the Christian Puppet, the two belligerent countries deliberately avoided the common border - the symbolic significance is still very strong. On the way to the carriage, Feich even thought of a classic movie "Casablanca" in his previous life.
The birthday party starts in the afternoon and will last until after dark, so the guests here bring their own carriage. Feich's carriage was rented from the carriage house, and the gold coins for the return trip were paid to make him wait here. Compared with the carefully decorated cars, he seemed much shabby. However, he had no title at all. The priest and monster hunter were just professions. Only when he got the level of bishop was considered a noble, so this carriage was comparable to his identity.
Knowing that the owner here was celebrating her daughter's birthday, Feiqi also prepared a gift for her. A bottle of holy water, a decorative thunder cross, and a necklace for hanging the cross. This kind of thing is probably flooded with Barons' houses. After all, they live not far from the sect, and they will not lack anything. However, such a vulgar gift can't be found in terms of etiquette.
"Isn't it appropriate for me to give something?" Tron looked a little nervous when he looked at the groups of graceful and luxurious "nobles" who were talking enthusiastically in front of him. He lowered his head and tidyed his clothes. Although they were not fighting suits when performing missions outside, they were not exquisite clothes that only nobles had in his impression. They were just simple light blue shirts and brown linen straight-leg pants, which looked more like servants than guests. How could he say, even if he was asked to put on his dress, he would still be equally nervous.
"If you can bring a domesticated griffin mount, then you are the focus of attention here, even if it is the princess' engagement ceremony. Well... Maybe the princess will elope with you." Feiqi patted Tron and said with a smile: "Don't look at the clothes, don't think about whether there is any gift or not. Did you see that I came in a armored jacket?"
"But your temperament is very similar to them, and I'm a little out of place."
"You just said the opposite. I am the most out of place." Feiqi's brow frowned slightly in an instant, but then it stretched out and changed to a relaxed and comfortable feeling: "I will teach you a way. Don't think about their clothes, just look at people, just like observing monsters in the wild. How did Instructor Kelly teach? Judgment strength, speed, thickness of the carapace, the way of exerting force, and then find the weaknesses and positions of the internal organs..."
"Your method is very effective. I think my eyes are almost turning into a murderer."
"It's just for this look," said Feiqi. "The men here will respect you because they are afraid of this look, and girls will be fascinated. Believe me, that's right!"
"Okay..." Tron was still skeptical, but he remembered this method and felt confident in his heart, at least he wouldn't panic.
There were many people coming to the dance. They all heard that single champions and melee champions in the martial arts competition were duels for the real title. Those who went to the finals and those who wanted to know him would come to say hello to Feiqi. Of course, Feiqi also understood that they came more because of the "Hall Family". Not for the champions in the martial arts competition, it was even more impossible for magic.
But he still raised the flag of "Learn magic, find Ficy fortress", which was still held by Benny. Benny sighed. She regretted it very much now. If she had known that she would raise the flag, she would have kept her helmet with armor all over her body, at least she could block her face and not look so embarrassing. When she thought of blocking her face, she looked at Shanny wearing a veil and cast a look for help.
Although she couldn't see Shani's face, Benny clearly felt that she smiled and looked away, then quickly followed Feiqi, leaving only her slim back. This is an example of a lively defeat of the muscle attribute to the faceless attribute.
It is not a false statement that Feiqi said that he was incompatible with everyone. In addition to telling stories or talking about magic, he lacked common topics with people in this world. It was snowing in June in Venezi County. Feiqi hurriedly asked if there was any unjust case. As a result, the other party said that the monster hunter of the Goat School caught a virgin-eating snow girl from the cave. When the other party heard the "unjust case", he almost thought that Feiqi was making a fuss to the evil man-eating snow girl - this was really not a big deal. So Feiqi just wanted to find Baron Goron as soon as possible, finish the fight, and find an opportunity to escape quickly - this would save some waiting fees for the taxi carriage.
However, Feiqi walked back and forth from the birthday party garden for two times but did not see Baron Goron. When asked, everyone said that he had seen him, but he didn't know where he was now. Feiqi wanted to complain, this was not a computer game, did he have to trigger a specific plot to generate a specific NPC? If it was to trigger, so many people in the venue should "touch" who? Is it the white-clothed guard behind the statue?
Anyway, he was idle, so Feiqi walked over with a bite of barbecue sausage. After getting closer, he realized the special thing about the white-clothed guards. From a distance, they were just wearing a decorative shirt outside the scale armor, holding ceremonial weapons to show off here. Unexpectedly, there were hidden spell runes on their scale armor. Only after the distance was very close, Feiqi could barely discover this with the sensitivity to runes and spells. But as soon as he discovered it, he immediately became interested.
"Come on, take off your shirt." Feiqi blinked, the excitement and enthusiasm in his eyes burned to make people blush and their hair stand upright. "I won't do anything to you. Just stand still and don't move. At most I'll touch..."
"Please respect the guest, don't touch me." The white-clothed guard said this almost gritted his teeth, and his hand was already on the hilt of the long sword.
"Your accent is so strange, aren't you a local? Where?" Feiqi looked at the sword in his movements, and never thought that there were spell runes hidden in the plain fish scale decorative pattern of the scabbard. "Can you show me the weapon? Where is this?"
"They are witch ghost soldiers from the desert islands. Each one costs me two thousand gold coins. Fortunately, raising them is cheaper than raising horses, otherwise I will go bankrupt now. Why, is the champion Mr. Feiqi also interested in witch ghost soldiers?"
Feiqi looked at the sound, and a cool-wearing fat man was greeting him with a glass of ice wine. He opened his collar, revealing his thick and wet chest hair, and the same fine beads of sweat covered his wide forehead, fat cheeks and thick neck. The two maids followed him with fans to provide wind, blowing the silk shirt like a flag, but they still couldn't cool him down. This warm fat man was no one else, but Van Tyman Gust of this generation.
"Master Viscount." Feiqi nodded and said, "I have heard of the witch and ghost soldiers, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. Please forgive me if there is any offense - I am indeed very interested."
"First of all, the Witch Ghost Soldier is something I save my life now, and I won't resell it." Vantman grabbed some ice from his glass, sprinkled it on his neck, and then looked at the sky: "I still can't adapt to the summer here, it's so uncomfortable. In fact, even the desert islands are not so hot."
Is it hot? Feiqi doesn't feel that way. On the one hand, he has improved his physical fitness after quitting drugs and strengthening exercise, and on the other hand, he may also be affected by the devil's soul. He looked at the Viscount. If he wanted to continue chatting so that he could have the opportunity to see the hidden magic runes, he had to find a way to please the owner here.
So Feiqi activated the magic matrix. At that moment, the witch and ghost soldiers immediately became alert, and half of the sword in their hands were pulled out, but they were still waiting for the Viscount's order. Shani had already held the dagger in her palm. If these soldiers wanted to act, she promised that she would definitely be the faster one.
"A small magic can cool the air." Feiqi used ice magic when dealing with the blood demon, and now he used the same trick again. As he continued to input mana, the temperature around the Viscount dropped as a whole, and a large amount of heat contained in his body was also pulled out and disappeared. The coolness and comfort surrounded Vantman again, and he immediately smiled.
"Oh, it's so comfortable, thank you so much." The Viscount breathed a sigh of relief and handed the ice wine to the maids, without having to fan them. "You are magic, right? It's really convenient! I've seen many spellcasters, real, fake, good, bad, but none of them are like you."
“What type of me?”
"Practical." Viscount became more enthusiastic: "I like practicality, whether it is a human or a thing, or a slave. Please don't mind me saying this. I am not comparing you with a slave, but just talking about practicality."
"I can understand, I don't mind." Feiqi pointed to the witch and ghost soldiers and said, "Since you mentioned practicality, they must be very practical, so you bought it, right? Can you introduce it to me?"
