Chapter 75 The Smile of a Commoner Teenager (two chapters in one)
As carriages carrying family heraldic flags drove into the castle one after another, more and more guests arrived.
In the brightly lit main hall of the castle, well-dressed noble gentlemen holding wine glasses gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing about topics ranging from art, investment, hunting, war or some rumored secret in the aristocratic circle, no matter what they were interested in
, you can always find a circle that suits you.
The ladies were sitting on the sofas in the private living rooms upstairs and downstairs. They took off their easily wrinkled silk skirts and only wore their inner shirts. They were shaking their fans while chatting and commenting on each other's comments.
While complimenting each other on their clothes, they would occasionally bite their ears and point fingers at a certain lady whom they didn't deal with very well, and spread some gossip.
The Duke's Palace prepared a cold meal on the lawn in the backyard. This was a kind of meticulous consideration for the guests who came from afar and for the ladies who did not eat in order to tighten the whale bones. And those who were full of energy
People who come with a full stomach prefer to compete with some small prizes at the archery range and knight training ground not far away.
Not only were almost all the famous nobles from the province of Lullian here. Even some elderly people who had not been seen for a long time also appeared in front of everyone with the support of their descendants. These were all important ministers who served the previous Grand Dukes of Lullian. Several of them,
Even Grand Duke Adolf's grandfather was a highly respected person, and he was greeted with respectful greetings wherever he went.
Perhaps the most conspicuous among the crowd are the children of major families. As the most direct display of a family's strength, upbringing, lineage and future, each of them is the target of people's criticism.
Intermarriage between Lulian nobles was originally the most fundamental way for local nobles to exchange interests and maintain family status. A son-in-law with outstanding talents and a promising future or a daughter-in-law whose natal family has more wealth and power may be able to make the entire family
Going to the next level. Therefore, the elders look at these children very differently.
When the men see a boy from a certain family they like, they just give a few reserved words of encouragement. The worst they can do is to hint that they can come over to play at home when they are free. The ladies, on the other hand, do not hide their intentions at all and happily pull each other to look at them.
He looked at her again and again, and praised her again and again. From time to time, she also glanced at her daughter or son beside her to create opportunities.
Among the noble children who arrived today, students from the three major training camps are the most popular. You must know that even nobles must become officially registered knights in the Knights Hall if they want to inherit the family business. And these students,
In their respective families, they are basically the future heirs, so naturally they are particularly popular.
Especially when Princess Scarlett and a group of noble children surrounding him appeared, the whole castle was in a commotion.
Tonight, Scarlett is wearing a lilac close-fitting evening dress studded with colored diamonds and lace. This kind of skirt is completely different from the popular tutu skirts among aristocrats. If worn on other girls, it will somewhat expose the flaws.
.For example, calves that are not long and slender enough. For example, body curves that are not voluptuous enough.
Even if there is no problem with these, purple, colored diamonds and lace are not something that ordinary people can control. If you are not careful, it will be gaudy.
However, all this is perfect in Scarlett.
When she appeared in front of the crystal palace-like castle hall, everyone's eyes were completely attracted by her. Even the brightly lit castle seemed to be eclipsed in front of her.
Men admire and marvel at it, and women envy and envy it.
No one could have imagined that a young girl under twenty years old could so perfectly combine purity, nobility and charm. Her every move, every move, every smile, was all captivating and charming. When she
When he lazily stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the greeting Archduke Adolf, there were only four words left in everyone's mind.
Unparalleled beauty!
Scarlett's appearance immediately relieved the young people.
At this time, no matter how overestimated their parents are, they will not drag their children in front of Scarlett. Such behavior will only make them a joke to others.
Of course, no one will give up the chance. After all, Scarlett is just an inexperienced girl. If the boy has a few tricks to deal with women and can catch her, he will rise to the top.
Even if you take a step back, you can build friendships and gain appreciation and favor, which will be of great benefit to the family.
With the acquiescence and even encouragement of their parents, the children of each family were like birds emerging from the cage, breaking away from the restrictive and breathless circle of elders, and with Scarlett as the center, they formed their own community of aristocratic children.
circle.
"Princess Scarlett, thank you for coming, otherwise, I don't know where I would be dragged by my mother." On the terrace outside the hall, Scarlett leaned gently against the railing, a petite girl.
As soon as he rushed over, he took Scarlett's arm and shouted exaggeratedly, fanning the wind with a handkerchief in one hand, and the fragrance was fragrant.
"Isn't it?" Another girl who ran over with a tutu also complained, "It's really painful. If my mother dares to do this again next time, I will faint her."
A group of nobles all laughed. Everyone felt the same way just now.
"By the way, Princess Scarlett, I heard that there will be a good show in your first training camp tonight?" A tall and handsome aristocratic young man wearing a blue-breasted knight's coat and looking quite charming
asked with a smile.
This young man's name is Lan Qi. He is a fourth-year student at the Munich branch of the Second Training Camp. He is also the leader of all the aristocratic children in the Second Training Camp here.
The Lanqi family rules a medium-sized earldom in the northeast of Lullian. Although it is not prominent, because it is related by marriage to a prominent family in the imperial capital, no one is willing to offend it easily. Lanqi, on the other hand, is
The most outstanding direct descendant of this family that is not famous for its fighting spirit and martial arts.
Four years ago, Lan Qi entered the Munich branch of the second training camp with purple talent. This result not only surprised the family whose knight talent was not outstanding, but even the prominent in-law family in the imperial capital was alarmed. That result
The family even sent a direct member to congratulate him and gave him an amazing gift.
The gift is certainly precious, but what is even more precious is that it means that a child of a small earl family from a remote province has entered the sight of a family in the center of the imperial capital. In the foreseeable future, Lan Qi's future has already been paved.
.From the very beginning, he distanced himself from the young local nobles like Lulian.
Now Lanqi is already a four-star knight of justice. Not only is he the core of all the noble children in the academy, but he is also the most feared opponent of the first and third training camps in the inter-camp challenge. It can be said that Lulian Division's
The championship was only between him, Pierre and Wormousley from the third training camp. There was no suspense.
Although on weekdays, there are overt and covert fights between the aristocratic children who belong to different training camps, however, this was obviously not one of them on an occasion like today.
"Yes," Scarlett gently rolled her wavy hair with her hands. She said casually, "Who made us so easy to bully?"
All the aristocratic children laughed. It would be a big joke if a commoner boy were allowed to come in and go out in a swagger today.
A local dog also wants to take a walk among the lions?
"So, is this true?" A short man looked at his companions around him in surprise and said in disbelief: "Is that guy mentally ill?"
"I don't know if he is sick or not, but he is the most arrogant civilian I have ever seen." Siwok said with half-raised eyes.
The humiliation of being slapped in the face by Roy with the challenge letter today has turned into a poisonous thorn that keeps pricking his heart. He is just the second son of a middle-class aristocratic family. With his magic talent, he became a
The heir of the family. He is originally narrow-minded and holds grudges the most. Today, his parents are not qualified to attend the dance. Therefore, he has made up his mind to perform well in front of all the nobles. Let everyone remember him and remember him.
Live in your own family.
There is no better opportunity than this. Because of Scarlett and the Prince of York, Roy is already the public enemy of all nobles. This is where the top nobles of Lulian gather. No matter how he humiliates the other party, all he gets is
The support of the nobles. Siwok couldn't hold back his excitement when he thought that he could express himself on such an occasion.
"I heard about the matter," said a young man with a strong build and a square face. Although he was only twenty-one or twelve years old, he was already quite powerful among the aristocratic children. "I admire his courage, but if he didn't
Be aware of yourself and the bolder you are, the worse the outcome will be.”
As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Pierre who was standing lazily aside, and said, "Pierre, what methods have you prepared today?"
"No, no, no, Wormousley," Pierre, who had long flaxen hair, shook his head with a smile and said to Wormousley, the leader of the third training camp and the biggest opponent of himself and Ranchi from the second battalion.
Said: "I only heard about this matter today. This is a matter between the first-grade children and the second-grade children. We will not interfere."
As he spoke, Pierre gently swayed the wine in his hand, looked at Scarlett and Xia Li, who was silent beside her, and said leisurely: "I heard that he has accepted the challenge, and there is no need to use it again."
What other means. I really can’t think of what else he could do on such an occasion, in front of you. If it were me..."
He turned to face the castle gate and took a sip of wine: "...I won't come."
Everyone laughed.
At this time, it was almost time for the dance to begin. Many ladies and ladies who were resting in the guest rooms and private small living rooms also put on their beautiful tutu skirts, gently swayed their silk fans, and went downstairs like willows swaying in the wind.
.There were light giggles everywhere at the entrance of the main hall, on the terrace and in the corridors on both sides.
The gate of the castle also ushered in the peak of guest arrivals. Because the castle was crowded, many carriages simply stopped at the gate. Guests in costumes strolled in twos and threes from the tree-lined path.
Among these nobles who hold their heads high and walk elegantly, there are occasionally one or two young civilians wearing inferior ceremonial clothes and having a formal manner. They are obviously the civilian students in the first training camp invited by Sophia.
"Is that kid here?" A noble student looked at the instructors from the first training camp who walked in and the students beside them, trying to distinguish them.
Scarlett, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Coming."
.............................
.............................
"Roy is here!"
Beside the fountain in the front yard of the castle, several teachers from Team E stood silently in the shadows away from the crowd. When he saw Roy coming from the gate of the castle, Wu Ming said softly.
"This kid, he really dares to come." Walder cursed in a low voice and turned his eyes to the others beside him: "What should I do?"
It had already been a prayer time since they arrived at the Grand Duke's Castle. Therefore, they knew better than anyone else what was going to greet Roy at this moment. It could be said that all the nobles here had united. Such power, let alone
A commoner boy with no background, or any nobleman, cannot bear it.
Wu Ming and Walder have been trying to stop Roy.
However, this guy, who had never been taught by them except for the first day, had a stubborn temper, which was evident from his battle with Xiang Feng. They could fully imagine what the result of their persuasion would be.
.
Therefore, since just now, they have been standing here, waiting for Roy. Everyone doesn't know what to do, but they can't just watch things happen.
If the challenge faced by the students were in the academy, it wouldn't matter how they fought as long as no one died. But here, things were out of their control. Once a conflict broke out in full view of the public, it would not only be Roy who would be unlucky. I'm afraid there would also be others.
The E-Brigade is already pitiful enough with them.
In anxiety, Wu Ming and Walder turned to look at Kameni.
To Wu Ming and Walder's surprise, Kameni remained silent and showed no intention of stopping him. Even Haisen, who had never been very calm, just looked at Roy's face quietly.
His expression was less worried and more appreciative.
"Haisen," Wu Ming and Walder looked at each other and asked, "You..."
"Don't ask me, I don't know what to do." Haisen shrugged.
He was the only person besides Kameni who had guessed Roy's identity. However, he was not prepared to tell Wu Ming and Walder until Kameni spoke about it himself or until he got conclusive confirmation.
Facing his companion's question, he glanced at Kameni and said carefully: "However, I think that no matter what this kid is doing, he must have his reasons. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Maybe things will happen.
It's not as bad as we thought, let's just wait and see how it gets better, and we can't stop it anyway."
After saying that, Hessen turned around and looked at the terrace on the second floor of the castle, as if he sensed something.
Wu Ming and Walder chewed on Hessen's words and followed his gaze suspiciously. Behind them, on the balcony of the second floor of the castle that was like a dream in the magical light, Archduke Adolf and Sophia accompanied a curvy figure.
The graceful and charming woman, half-covering her face with a silver-white feather mask, quietly stared downstairs.
It was obvious that they had been standing there for a long time.
Does the Grand Duke know about this?
It's impossible for him not to know. If he knew, what would be his attitude?
As questions swirled in the minds of Wu Ming and Walder, Roy had already walked through the tree-lined path and walked over.
From the castle gate to the hall of the main building, there were at least a hundred nobles, as well as the guards and attendants of the Grand Duke's Palace. Among them, Roy was the most conspicuous one.
I saw him wearing a white long-sleeved summer shirt, a pair of hunting trousers, and a pair of fast boots, and he walked in so casually. Beside him, there were nobles and nobles who were dressed more neatly than him.
There were ten times as many waiters, and all of them looked at him, unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.
"Teacher." Roy bowed and saluted as he passed by the teachers.
Haisen and others looked at him with complicated eyes. Kameni frowned slightly and suddenly said: "Are you really going?"
"Yes." Roy's answer was calm and calm.
"Why?" Kameni asked.
"Because they deserve to be beaten!" Roy bowed again and walked towards the main building lobby.
At this time, the noble children had also walked down the steps from the first-floor terrace where they were gathered. On one side were dozens of nobles, and on the other were single commoners. The two sides were walking towards each other, gradually approaching.
Following a commotion, more nobles gathered from the corridor, from the ball hall, from the backyard, from the lawn, and from all directions.
Because everyone was mentally prepared for this scene, no one tried to ask or stop him. The men looked at their children with smiles and reserved attitudes, while the women pointed at Roy and talked about it.
Kameni was silent. When Roy's path was blocked by the noble disciples who were coming towards him, suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he was stunned.
The crowd flowed in front of him, swarming towards Roy, and a tall figure stood down like a rock in the tide. The face he was once very familiar with was smiling at him less than five meters away from him.
.

.............
At the gate of the castle, a carriage marked with the First Training Camp stopped. The waiter opened the door, and Diarra got out of the car. He waved the waiter away with his backhand and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Supervisor."
A thin-looking old man wearing a white robe got off the carriage.
"I didn't expect to encounter such a grand event when I came to Lulian. It was a worthwhile trip." The old man smiled. Accompanied by Diarra and Gustas who came down from another carriage, he walked slowly towards
Castle hall.
The old man who was personally accompanied by the two presidents and vice presidents of Gustas Diarra immediately attracted the attention of many people near the door. When everyone saw the appearance of the old man clearly, some people suddenly screamed.
"It's the Great Sage Bol!"
The old man's name is Bol, and he is the magic supervisor of the first training camp in the Imperial City. He is also a famous magic sage and magic pattern master in the empire. His strength is still higher than Guristas.
There are many people who can recognize this old man. It is not surprising. What surprises everyone is that this old gentleman does not leave the Imperial Capital headquarters easily. Why did he appear here today?
"Why is he here?" People whispered to each other. There was a lot of discussion.
Diarra and Gustas turned a deaf ear to the voices in their ears and only led the old man towards the castle.
Only the teachers from the two distinct factions who followed the two principals and deputy deans knew that the purpose of this old Mr. Bol's visit to Lulian was nothing else. It was to investigate the spiritual power level of the Illusion World Tower of the Mooney Branch. The problem of the strange decline is to be held accountable. Attending Archduke Adolf's ball was just a coincidence.
Among the teachings, Fali was the most excited.
No one knows it better than him. In the Imperial Capital General Camp, Boll has always been known for his selflessness. Even the King of Heaven will not be able to get away with anything he does. Therefore, the General Camp sent him down this time. It really gave him and Diarra a surprise.
Guristas has already shouldered the responsibility for the Illusion Tower. It is almost certain that if there is another problem with the Illusion Tower, the dean who has been in charge of the Munich branch for ten or twenty years will have to retire honorably. When the time comes, it's up to him whether he stays in the Munich branch according to the title of elder or goes to the imperial capital.
What excites them even more is that Boll came at the right time.
The conflict between Roy and Scarlett and others has spread throughout the first training camp, and even in the aristocratic circle, at least half of the people know about it.
If there is a conflict between Roy and Scarlett and others tonight, Gustas will just keep silent. If he dares to protect the little country bumpkin inexplicably like he did on the entrance day, then Boll will probably not have to say anything. When there is another problem at the spiritual level, I will give him a good look immediately!
You know, apart from being selfless, Magic Supervisor Bohr loves talents as much as his life. When Scarlett was still in the imperial capital, she was his favorite junior. If Scarlett hadn’t insisted on coming to Lulian, I’m afraid that The old man had already accepted him as his disciple.
With such affection, how could he tolerate a commoner with shitty qualifications to go against Scarlett?!
Bol walked into the castle with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he looked at several civilian students in the crowd and asked curiously: "Are these students from our academy?"
"Yes." Diarra replied quickly.
Boll had already heard about the fact that the Munich branch was in the limelight at the victory celebration. He nodded approvingly, with a smile on his face. He encountered such a thing when he first arrived in Lulian. As the supervisor of the general camp, he Naturally, my face feels radiant.
"But..." Diarra hesitated.
"What?" Boll frowned. At this moment, suddenly, a burst of noise came from the front.
.....................
.....................
"Is he that reckless kid? I thought he was a reckless, stupid guy, but I didn't expect him to look like this."
"I'm a little thinner, but he looks quite energetic. What's his name?"
"Says his name is Roy."
"Commoners like to give names like this. It's simple, only three letters in total, easy to remember and write. One of my slaves is named Roy. He can only write his own name. Hehe."
"This guy's eyes are quite beautiful, but they are just a little dull. No wonder he offended Princess Scarlett and came here stupidly. If you ask me, just ask the guards to throw him out. It's really a waste of time.
.”
"This is today's program. Our kid said during dinner that we should teach him a lesson. Who cares about them? Young people like to toss, so let them do it. His damn father doesn't care, so I'm too lazy.
Why bother?"
Roy stood quietly in front of the steps of the main hall of the castle. All around him, there were the pointing and whispers of nobles. On the steps in front of him, including on the balcony, there were condescending nobles standing.
"You're blocking my way." Roy lowered his eyelids and said to Siwok and Klaus, who were almost touching him: "There is a saying that good dogs don't block the road."
Wow, the crowd suddenly became noisy.
Although everyone has heard about this kid, no one thought that this guy was really so stunned. Doesn't he know his current situation?
Several nobles scolded him one after another at that time. "Insolent" and "How dare you insult the nobles!"
Lan Qi, Wormusli and others were all speechless with laughter. This civilian from the first training camp was really a top-notch person. This was the first time they had seen such a fool at such a young age.
Siwok and Klaus had sneers on their faces. They would not lose their temper in front of this crowd of nobles. The more arrogant this kid is today, the faster he will die. No one can protect him!
"Roy, since you have accepted the challenge in the morning, now that Lulian's most distinguished person is here to witness it, we can settle the matter," Siwok smiled and said slowly: "You want to enter this door
, you have to win the challenge first. Otherwise, you will still have no way to get in and get out."
"Oh?!" Roy raised his head, not looking at Si Walker, but looking at Scarlett's face at the top of the steps, surrounded by everyone: "I accepted a total of thirty challenges.
I saw so many people.”
Scarlett's eyes were cold: "We have six people here today. Except for Xiang Feng, including me, you have accepted the challenge. You can choose whatever you want."
In the shadows of the corridor outside the crowd, several knights gathered around a richly dressed middle-aged man, watching the crowd.
Hearing Scarlett's words, the middle-aged man shook his head: "Girl, if you want to kill him, why bother to challenge him? You are really childish." It seemed that he was not interested in such a play, so the middle-aged man shook his head gently.
He waved his hand and walked towards the corridor. Before leaving, he ordered: "If he dares to touch the lady, kill him."
"yes!"
Just when the middle-aged man was about to leave, Roy's voice came from the crowd.
"Then I'll choose them all." Roy laughed, and while the people around looked at him like crazy, he said every word: "Since I accepted your challenge, you must be embarrassed to refuse my challenge.
So, each of us has two games today..."
He raised his hands, made a fist with one hand, and showed four fingers on the other hand, with a bright and honest smile on his face: "I'm going to beat you ten times today!"
