Chapter 020 The Second Appearance of the Pendant

After Samuel got the signed official document, he wanted to leave to join his entourage, but Claudie gave him an invitation to the ball.The time is just tonight, besides the dignitaries of the Principality of Chris, the main participants of the ball are Lauren, the third prince of the Kingdom of Knatchpur?Raqibul, and Princess Felina who still hasn't returned home?Sith.

Samuel pondered for a moment, and accepted Claudie's invitation—although these dances and banquets were torture for him, they were also important social events for the upper class, and Claudie's invitation obviously also had verification The meaning of Muir's mind, if he refuses, it is still good to be considered ignorant of current affairs, and the most dangerous thing is to be regarded as a sign that Samuel wants to oppose them.

The Fallen is very powerful and terrifying, so he has already killed the officiant of the Principality of Chris. If he kills another apprentice paladin, it will not be difficult for people to accept it.

Therefore, Samuel accepted the invitation, but left temporarily on the grounds that he had to go back and change clothes.

Leaving the castle, Samuel soon rejoined his entourage.They rented a small private house.Fortunately, it is the off-season for renting houses, otherwise this house with a small courtyard would not be so easy to rent.

Although the land within the Red Dragon Mountain Range is fertile, not many people are farming because of the rampant monsters, because farming must leave the city, but how can a farmer protect his fields from the mouths of monsters?After all, even a small herbivorous monster is not something an ordinary person can handle.Therefore, except for a few of the poorest people who risked their lives to farm for a living, most of the people here made deals with adventurers or served adventurers as their profession.

Adventurers enter the densely forested mountains to hunt monsters and obtain furs, bones, magic cores, teeth, horns, and sachets and poison sacs from some special monsters.Adventurers need to eat, sleep, dress, and vent their desires, and their goods must be processed and sold.All kinds of related industries need someone to engage in it.But now that winter is approaching, the monsters in the Red Dragon Mountain Range are either going to the warm area with active geothermal energy inside the mountain range, or they are also gradually entering the hibernation period.The number of prey is scarce, and the number of adventurers has also decreased. The houses that were originally rented to adventurers, or came to buy Warcraft commodity merchants, are now also rented out at reduced prices.

Julian has a good vision, the house is very clean, and because no one has lived in it for more than ten days, the meaning of each room is already very weak.The only thing that dissatisfied Julian was that the plants in the distance were not trimmed neatly. Everyone was very speechless about this. After all, it is autumn when the vegetation is withered. Even if the homeowner wants to prune, what can he prune?Bare branches?

They rented the house for three months, because although they will set off for the Red Dragon Mountains tomorrow, but the vast mountains, relying on the four of them, if they want to meet the fallen person who doesn't know whether they exist or not, it depends entirely on luck.But people's physical strength is limited, and the supplies will be exhausted. It is impossible to find people, and they have been nesting in the mountains. Therefore, a comfortable foothold in the city is necessary.

"Going to the dance again?" Julian, holding a bottle of red wine and a smoked beef leg, excitedly knocked on Samuel's room, only to see that he was wearing a dress shirt, thinking about it with his heels. I know what Samuel is going to do in this inconvenient clothes.

"Yeah." Samuel nodded, glanced at Julian... the beef leg in his arms, and directly cut off a piece of meat with a knife, "Julian, if you go to the Adventurer's Guild at this time, it's still okay." Have you found a guide?"

The knights who are loyal to the Holy Court have an unwritten rule-when doing something that requires contact with the secular government, except for the necessary social contact, other official contacts should be as few as possible.It seems that the reason is that a long time ago, there was a paladin who was attracted by a certain monarch, so he turned his back on the Holy Spirit and was willing to kneel for the monarch.No one knows what kind of person this monarch is and what kind of ending he is, but this paladin aroused the wrath of the Holy God, was deprived of his divine power, and was dispatched to an isolated island. It was expelled from the world of light, and the end was miserable. After that, the knights were alienated from the worldly monarchs.

Although this legend does not name names, the instructors of every knight training camp that Samuel has experienced will bring it up.Obviously, the authenticity of this incident cannot be doubted, so Samuel was able to ask Priest Martin to find him a guide, but when it came to Chris, he had to do it himself.

"Yes, I can use the fastest time to find the best guide." Julian nodded, "But do you really want to leave tomorrow? The dance tonight may not be too easy."

"Leave one day earlier, relax one day earlier." Samuel shrugged, "If I'm really tired, I'll sleep in the carriage tomorrow. But you said the best guide..." Samuel rarely listened There was something wrong with Julian praising the other person so much.

"Don't worry, when you see him tomorrow, you will agree with my words." Julian poured a glass of red wine for Samuel and said with a smile.

Although Samuel was puzzled, he also understood that it is not good to doubt the decision of his subordinates too much, so he simply changed the topic to red wine: "Today is not Sunday, I can't drink red wine."

"He really has no interest in life..."

At dusk, Samuel wore his "improved" gown to the ball - no way, he didn't have time to redo it along the way.The environment of the dance party this time is much better than that of Julian City, because the venue of the dance party is in the garden. Although people are still in the open air, at least it is not a closed environment, and you can persist...

Samuel was holding a glass of clear water, and found a corner to stand and drink as usual.After about half an hour, most of the dancers were present.Gorgeously dressed men and women gathered in groups of three or four to discuss various official and private affairs and romantic affairs.At least from Samuel's point of view, these ministers and nobles were not sad or nervous because of the killing of the Grand Duke and the fall of the eldest prince who once had the highest claim to succession.In fact, the relaxed state of these people really does not match the reality of the Principality of Chris.After all, if most countries encounter this kind of thing, they will face political storms at home and abroad, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the danger of subjugation.Therefore, the ease of these people is either forced to be happy, or the dust has settled in Chris's country, and he has already relied on him abroad!

"Natchpur Kingdom, the third prince Lauren? His Highness Nachpur has arrived! His Royal Highness has arrived! Sith Principality, His Royal Highness Felina has arrived!..." A series of arrivals came from Zhike at the entrance of the garden.Not only these three distinguished figures, but also Chris's ministers, the main entourage who came with Prince Lauren, and the princess and several of her friends who are also beautiful.

The crowd who had been chatting with each other suddenly became commotion, and men and women flocked to the door in an instant.Of course Samuel would not follow along to join in the fun. He didn't even change his standing angle and posture, and he was still leaning on a marble column to drink his own water.

The commotion subsided slowly, and the sound of music sounded, obviously the dance had officially started.After a while, several shadows appeared beside Samuel, it was those three distinguished persons.

"This is Samuel, the apprentice paladin of the Holy Court." Grand Duke Claudie introduced both sides, "This is His Royal Highness Lauren, the third prince of Nachpur, and this is Her Royal Highness Princess Felina of Sith. .”

This Prince Lauren said he was a prince, but in fact he was already quite old.After all, the current king of Nachpur is nearly 50 years old, and his eldest son is over 45 years old. The third prince is not as old as the eldest son, but he is about [-] years old.He has two upturned mustaches, and his hair looks thick at first glance, but in fact, it is not his hair at a second glance, but a wig.

And Felina is definitely a beautiful woman, and it can even be said that she is almost an angelic figure, with thick golden hair, gentle sea blue eyes, a beautiful little nose and a slightly upturned smile like a bright red Lips, tonight she was wearing a water-blue dress, her hair was pulled high and decorated with pearls, she was the object of the jealousy of all women and the attention of all men.Samuel is also paying attention to her, but not because of her appearance or figure, but because she has a dragon pendant with a ferocious imagination hanging on her chest!

Although the last time he saw this pendant was more than ten years ago, when he opened his eyes for the first time in this world, as the first object he saw in this life, Samuel was sure that he did not admit his mistake.Even if they are not the same thing, but in this world where everything is done by hand, two things that are so similar must have an intrinsic connection.However, the idea of ​​"finding the whereabouts of the pendant" just flashed in Samuel's mind. If he wasn't going to look for the so-called family members, then these things would be meaningless...
