Extreme Knight

After delivering the invitation, the old man left surrounded by a group of people from the Leslie family, while Sean returned to his room with the invitation and placed it on a desk.

Looking at the invitation card on the desk, Xiao En showed an inexplicable look on his face. The opportunity to get in touch with the Eldest Princess and the Twelve Princes, copying and fusing their outstanding knight talents came, and trouble also came.

To be in the eyes of that emperor is a supreme honor for others, and it can even be said to be a happy event that can make the family honorable, but for him, it is not a good thing, after all, he has too many secrets .

But this dinner had to be attended, otherwise, it would definitely attract suspicion, as long as it was a normal person, no normal person would refuse the emperor's dinner invitation, unless that person was not normal.

And he didn't want to miss this opportunity to copy and fuse the outstanding knight talents of the eldest princess and the twelve princes. After all, if he copied and merged the knight talents of the two, his knight talent would probably be able to go further and transform into a more powerful knight. High level knight talent.

He is naturally looking forward to the knight talent above the excellence level. With the help of purple-level knight swordsmanship and auxiliary training medicine, the excellent level knight talent can increase 15,000 catties per month. The knight above the excellence level What about talent?

It is inevitable that the cultivation speed will be greatly increased. After all, there is a huge gap in the cultivation speed between each level of knight talent. Therefore, even for the knight talent above the excellence level, he must attend this dinner.

On the evening of the second day, a luxurious carriage set off from the Leslie family mansion and headed for the imperial palace in the center of the imperial capital.

In the carriage, there were Leslie Patriarch Warren Leslie, Eve's mother Peg Joyce, Eve's eldest brother Kenan Leslie, Eve, and Sean.

Because the new year was approaching, the imperial capital was brightly lit tonight, especially the road leading to the palace. Luxurious carriages competed with each other, driving on this road, heading towards the end of the road.

The luxury carriage of the Leslie family carrying five people passed through the huge gate of the palace, which was more than 20 meters high, entered the palace, and came to a wide square.

When they came here, the carriage stopped, and Sean and the others got off the carriage one by one.

There are many carriages parked on this square, each of which is extremely luxuriously decorated. Even the carriages carefully decorated by the Leslie family with a large sum of gold coins can only be regarded as ordinary in this square.

"Yo, isn't this 'Master Leslie'?"

Next to Sean's carriage, another carriage stopped, and five people came out of it, three men and two women, the leader of which was a middle-aged man with brown hair. It suddenly became cold, and the voice was piercing.

"Patriarch Oliver, it's been a long time. Seeing that you're not sick, I'm relieved!"

Leslie's owner, Warren Leslie, also turned cold, and said mockingly in his voice, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Next to him, Sean was already thinking about Warren Leslie when he heard Warren Leslie address him.

The Oliver family is one of the Marquis families, but unlike the Leslie family, which is in the middle and lower reaches of the Marquis family and has only one legendary Marquis family, the Philip family is a powerful family that ranks among the top three even among the Marquis families. There are three legends in the family.

As for the source of the conflict between the two families, even Xiao En, who didn't know much about the intricate relationship between the various families in the empire, had guessed it.

The Oliver family is one of the top three Marquis families in strength. At the same time, it also has an identity, that is, the family where the eighth prince's mother belongs. Knowing this, it is easy to understand why the two families have feuds.

Both the eighth prince and the seventeenth princess are strong contenders for the throne, and it is inevitable for them to fight each other. As two families that are inseparable from the eighth prince and seventeenth princess, it is naturally impossible for them to live in harmony.

"I've seen the Marquis of Warren, I've seen the Marquis of Truman!"

Just at this moment, a man in the clothes of the palace steward rushed over and skillfully interrupted the invisible smoke between the two.

He is one of the many stewards of the palace. As a steward of the palace, he is naturally very clear about the relationship between the various families. Because this is a compulsory course, when he saw the Leslie family and the Oliver family get off the carriage almost at the same time, He groaned in his heart, and hurried over.

Seeing that the steward of the palace had arrived, Patriarch Leslie and Patriarch Oliver stopped talking and showed the invitation cards they received to the steward, and then walked towards the banquet hall under the leadership of the steward.

It is worth mentioning that when Sean showed the invitation card, Sean obviously felt that Patriarch Philp looked at him with extremely sharp eyes for a moment, and the other party probably guessed who he was.

The resplendent banquet hall is extremely spacious, with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. The interior colors are mainly gold and purple, showing the majesty of the royal family.

At this time, many families have already arrived. These people are well-dressed, and every pendant on their bodies is extremely particular. It is likely that a seemingly ordinary pendant is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime without worry. Obviously these people are from the upper class nobles of the empire.

Sean scanned the banquet hall and didn't see Princess Seventeen and other princesses and princes. However, he quickly realized that Princess Seventeen and others, who are members of the royal family, should be together with the current emperor at the last moment. play.

Sean was wearing a straight black dress with a pure gold pendant on his left chest. This was a dress prepared for him by the Leslie family. Because it was tailor-made, it fit him very well. It matched his hair The blond hair, although not very handsome, has a unique temperament. As soon as he entered the arena, he immediately attracted the attention of some young women.

However, when these women saw that he did not have a noble badge on his chest, the enthusiasm in their eyes immediately dissipated a lot.

Every year at the end of the year dinner, each family will bring their most outstanding children, because this dinner also has a name called "Blind Date Banquet", which means a banquet that creates opportunities for noble young masters and noble ladies of each family.

And the reason why these young women's enthusiasm dissipated a lot after seeing that Sean didn't have a noble badge on his chest was because they judged that Sean was not the next heir of a certain family.

Generally speaking, anyone who is confirmed as the next patriarch's successor will be given a noble title slightly lower than the family title by the royal family until the other party inherits the family title.

People like Sean who don't have a noble insignia on their bodies are generally not family heirs. Since they are not family heirs, their status is naturally lower, and naturally they are not their top priority.

However, not everyone's enthusiasm for Sean has diminished. One of them, a woman with a tall figure and delicate face, wearing a black evening dress, has already walked towards Sean the first time Sean appeared.

"Your Excellency Sean, long time no see!"

The woman greeted Sean generously.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

Sean greeted each other politely.

The woman's name is Feline Carter, and she is the older sister of Bryce Carter, who was rescued by Sean at Fort Cedot. After the big princess banquet, the other party and Bryce Carter visited him at the Leslie family. , so it can be regarded as an acquaintance.

"Why didn't you see Bryce?"

Sean glanced behind the woman, with a strange look on his face.

"He didn't feel well, so he didn't come."

Feline Carter explained.

Sean nodded understandingly. After a few contacts, he could tell that Bryce Carter had an extremely shy and introverted personality, and he might have excused himself because he didn't like this kind of occasion.

The two chatted for a while before they parted. Most of the time, Feline Carter was asking questions and Sean was answering. Sean could feel Feline Carter's enthusiasm for him. Of course, he didn't think about other aspects , he guessed that the other party might have investigated him and knew that he had some relationship with the Seventeenth Princess, so he felt that he was worthy of making friends.

After parting from Feline Carter, Sean found a table and sat down, quietly waiting for the official start of the banquet.

During the period, several young noble ladies came over to chat with Sean, but when they learned that Sean had no title, and he was not even from the Colburn Empire, they immediately left gracefully. Their family would not allow them Married to a non-Imperial.

After more than half an hour.

At the gate of the banquet hall, a group of dozens of people walked in, and as these dozens of people walked in, the banquet hall was suddenly silent, and many people even stood up from their seats involuntarily. Sean also is one of them.

Among these dozens of people, a man and a woman walked in the front.

The man is a black-haired middle-aged man, wearing purple-gold clothes, tall and straight, with a very strong majesty on his body.

Seeing this man, everyone couldn't help lowering their heads slightly, even Sean was no exception, because he had already guessed who this man was.

In the third row behind the man, there are two men and two women walking side by side. They are the Eldest Princess, the Eighth Prince, the Twelfth Prince, and the Seventeenth Princess. , is already obvious.

That's right, he is the current emperor Aldington Tomyris of the Kolben Empire, the person who stands at the apex of the human kingdom.

Walking side by side with him is a beautiful woman, wearing a long green dress embellished with many jewels, elegant and luxurious.

This person should be the Queen of the Colburn Empire and also the mother of the Eldest Princess.

And behind the two, that is, the second row, there are also three beautiful women walking side by side. As for these three people, Xiao En does not know the specific identities. The current emperor has a total of twenty-three heirs, and there are no concubines and the like. A few, he naturally couldn't guess.
