Lord Highlander

The reception in the evening was a bit boring. The manor of Viscount Emmett was decorated with lights, and this open-air dance was held by the fountain in the center of the courtyard.

Karl felt that the young knight Suldak should often attend such aristocratic balls, so that he would make some young friends in the city of Hailansa.

"My friend, when you become a knight, it means that your life circle has undergone a fundamental change. Your old friends... I am not saying to give up on them, but you also need to make new friends. For other knights, mages, and nobles, you have to slowly adapt and blend in... Then you will find that your life will undergo earth-shaking changes."

Carl held a glass of grape juice with a faint wine smell, leaned against a lamp post, and said to Suldak in an elegant manner.

Suldak looked at the monster leather armor on his body with some embarrassment, and sighed softly. Many guests wearing noble dresses around him looked at him in surprise. This feeling is really bad. Like a duck standing in a chicken coop, it is so different that it seems out of place with the surrounding environment.

Before coming here, Karl only said that he would take him to find a place to drink, but he didn't mention attending such a reception at all.

In fact, even mentioning it was useless, since he didn't have a knight's dress at all.

Carl beside him seemed indifferent. When a waiter with a tray passed by, he drank the wine-flavored grape juice in one gulp, put the empty wine glass back on the tray, picked up two glasses of golden cider, and handed one to Sue. Erdak winked at Surdak and said, "Enjoy this night!"

In Suldak's eyes, wine without ale would be completely soulless.

Gold cider, wine, rum, and boozy juices were no match for the barbecue, nor were the unnamed dishes on the table, which looked gorgeous and beautiful, but each serving There is only a shallow mouthful.

He picked up a piece of shell and sucked the slightly sweet meat inside into his mouth, completely raw.

It’s hard to imagine Hailansa, an inland mountain city, how to keep this kind of seafood that dies away from the sea. On the other tray was a whole grilled gray rock iguana. The scene of hunting gray rock iguanas in the mountains has lost all appetite.

A group of young ladies in gorgeous evening gowns, wishing to burst their stalwart rabbits, shuttled through the crowd like butterflies. They would not sit in place reservedly, waiting for the gentlemen's invitation, they were like swimming fish Tiger sharks in the group are looking for their prey.

Of course, some women noticed Karl and Suldak. They seemed to know Karl very well. When they ran over to greet Karl with a glass of wine, their eyes always glanced at Suldak, and there was always a kind of scrutiny in their eyes. the taste of.

It's not that Suldak is so reserved, and he is indifferent to the hot gazes of these young ladies, but that he can't dance at all, so he can only stand aside and watch with a glass of wine, and he doesn't know anyone else .

Karl saw that Suldak was not interested in dancing, so he whispered a few words to the dance partner beside him. The young lady had a sweet smile on her face, and after walking away for a while, she brought a A tall and slender young lady, she has long chestnut hair, wears a light blue dress, and has a slender waist. When Suldak looked at her, she was also looking at Suldak curiously.

"I think we should find a place to sit down and talk..." Carl proposed, holding the young lady's slender waist.

The tall slender girl stared at Surdak very boldly, then stood beside him, glanced at his arm, and said clearly in her amber eyes, "Knight, please raise your arm so that I can hold it." you……'

Seeing Suldak's bewildered look, the tall slender girl pursed her lips into a smile, showing her snow-white teeth.

Suldak didn't stretch out his hand, but the tall slender girl looked at him stubbornly.

When the scene was a little awkward, a fair-skinned young nobleman walked beside him. After seeing Carl, he said in surprise, "Hey, Carl, why are you free to come to Viscount Emmet's ball?"

Karl quickly introduced Suldak to him. This young nobleman who looks like a bard is called Llewellyn, a baron, and his family is also a traditional nobleman of Hailansa City.

He had an amiable face. Although he was a baron, he had no airs in front of Suldak. He took a glass of wine and asked Karl, "I heard that you have been troubled by the gang of robbers outside the city recently. I thought you would arrest those robbers outside the city at this time..."

While speaking, Llewellyn secretly glanced at the tall girl next to Suldak, but the tall girl just ignored him at all.

Carl smiled awkwardly: "I ran back to be scolded. It's better to blame one person for this kind of thing than to be scolded by a group of people!"

When Baron Llewellyn heard what Karl said, his attention was immediately attracted by this matter, and he leaned into Karl's ear and whispered, "I heard that the gang of robbers just ransacked Walvorson Manor a week ago."

Baron Llewellyn also brought a female companion by his side. That lady seemed to be slightly hostile to the tall girl around Suldak, but when the two looked at each other, they smiled gracefully, hiding the hostility in their eyes. Very well, the tall slender girl raised her fair chin towards Baron Llewellyn's female companion as if provocative, and suddenly stretched out her hand to wrap Suldak's arm.

Suldak felt Baron Llewellyn's left eye twitch slightly, and immediately smiled casually.

Several people sat down at an empty table by the pool, and the tall girl sat beside Suldak. Baron Llewellyn said to Karl pretending to be kind: "Is it because of this that the Consul will let you go?" When you go back to the city to report on your work, you must tell us if you need anything, and if we can help, we will definitely not postpone it, and Jonah and Brooke still mentioned you today."

After finishing speaking, Baron Llewellyn glanced at the tall girl next to Suldak again, but the more this happened, the more the tall girl deliberately moved closer to Suldak.

At this moment, Suldak understood that the relationship between the Baron Llewellyn and the tall girl was ambiguous, but for this ball, Baron Llewellyn brought another female companion. , so the two of them seem to be fighting like lovers, but they are caught in it, really... I knew that such a thing would happen, and I will stay in the hotel tonight no matter what I say...

Karl also secretly gave Surdak an apologetic look.

The young lady who had brought the tall girl sat awkwardly next to Carl.

At this time, Carl bit the bullet and said: "That gang of robbers is very vigilant, and they will flee away as soon as they get their hands on them. Now they have all been handed down, but there is no news..."
