The two banquet halls had slightly different atmospheres as they drank and drank. Where men gathered, it was obvious that they were divided into two groups. There were those who wanted to curry favor with the Grand Duke of Kavi, and of course there were also political opponents with different stances.
You can't blatantly destroy the place, and you have to hold back. There are rumors that the Grand Duke of Kawei has made enough money from his cooperation with the magician for more than a year to build a second warehouse to store money.
.
Although I don’t know what the actual situation is, and I don’t know what business they are cooperating with - the sales of cars cannot be fully supplied by local sales, and of course they cannot be exported -, but half of the Duke's Guards are stationed in the Holy City of Egypt.
Stali can't do anything fake.
As the most powerful force on the Grand Duke's table, he sent half of them to look after it, and it would not be an insignificant matter. Therefore, the people who gathered, no matter which side they belonged to, hoped to learn from the nobles who were close to the Grand Duke.
Ask for details from your mouth.
In the women's banquet hall, all the participants were secretly looking around, trying to find the two protagonists of this banquet. Some people wanted to come closer to chat and build some friendship; of course, some people wanted to step on the scene and teach them a lesson.
There was a yellow-haired girl and an unknown magician. In their eyes, except for nobles with higher status than themselves, everyone else was looked down upon.
It's just that of the two protagonists, the younger one made a brief appearance in the opening scene and then hid in his room.
In order to prepare for today's ceremony, the Marquise Balan returned to the Duke's castle a few days early. Although everything around her looked familiar, it did not make her feel at ease at all. So she spent her days hiding in the same house as before.
In your own room.
The difference is that she will still step out of the room when necessary. Compared with the past situation where she was unwilling to leave even a step, the Marquise has improved a lot in the eyes of the Grand Duke.
As for the other older protagonist, she is not in this castle at all. As a magician with the flash technique, of course she only appears when necessary for this annoying ritual. Her time
But it is very valuable and there are many things to do, so there is no need to waste too much here.
Although in someone's eyes, Fen spends as much time in a daze as she does in sleeping. The rest is allocated to the trivial matters of life and her so-called business. But even so, her work efficiency is quite amazing. She is fumbling here and there.
All of a sudden, it takes less than a few days for others to work.
So everyone in the women's banquet hall can only be disappointed after all. The two protagonists of this banquet are not the same as the habits of ordinary nobles.
When everyone had almost finished their meal, it was time for the ceremony to begin. The musicians, both men and women, gathered again in the men's banquet hall. The female nobles were also dressing up, preparing to join the ceremony on this side.
The waiters moved quickly and in an orderly manner to clear the buffet bar. At the same time, they quickly put away the bowls and plates containing meat, bones and fish bones, and arranged the venue for the next ceremony.
In fact, most of them are related to magicians, and the rituals that determine the transfer of professions and apprenticeships are usually carried out in secret. After all, it is related to magic, and there are some secrets that should not be known to outsiders, or that are not allowed to be interfered with.
What was held in a public place attended by nobles was more like a notice or announcement than a real ceremony. In other words, the head of the family, Duke Kawei, came forward to announce that his granddaughter would follow the great magician Fen and learn magic.
Forget it. So when the old man said there was some kind of ceremony at the gathering, it wasn't really that there were any ceremony arrangements, it was just an excuse for the nobles to get together to eat and drink.
However, when the long table originally used for eating and drinking was cleared to the side. A long-backed chair with no inferior specifications was placed to the left of the main seat belonging to the Grand Duke, everyone felt that things were not that big this time.
Simple.
The trumpeters from the army blew an impassioned piece of music in unison. The nobles present were no longer surprised by the constant stimulation of new things. Everyone calmed down and quietly
Let’s see what new tricks the Grand Duke comes up with.
Stamping in unison, with an astonishing momentum of iron boots hitting the ground, the heavily armed Duke's Guards entered the banquet hall in two columns. This of course caused a commotion, and even the nobles who were opposed to the Grand Duke had a certain thought in their hearts.
This is a conspiracy theory - maybe the Grand Duke used his granddaughter as an excuse to kill them all in one fell swoop.
Of course, the Duke's Guards did not take any drastic action. They separated the crowd from the middle and expanded to the left and right to open a path. Of course, their actions were cautious, for fear of damaging any of the nobles here. The nobles were also very cooperative, allowing
They left the position where the Duke's Guards were supposed to stand. It meant that anyone with a normal mind would not go head-to-head with a warrior wearing plate armor and wearing a sword at his waist.
At the same time, with Halloumi's piano as the leader, this makeshift orchestra played a majestic march. Although it was still a bit scattered in someone's ears, it was unprecedented in this mysterious place.
Amidst the music, the Grand Duke of Carvey appeared from the door of the banquet hall holding one of today's protagonists, the Marquise Balan, arm in arm.
However, when no one noticed, Fen appeared quietly on the long chair on the left side of the main seat. Sitting in a relaxed posture, with a natural expression, a red-based four-spirit suit made the already very special
Her beauty makes her look even more worldly. But as long as you pay attention to her, you will feel that underneath her refined temperament, there is an aura of disdain for the common people.
The Grand Duke of Kawei did not lead his granddaughter forward, but when he reached the end of the road opened by the Duke's Guard, he let go. And this group of elite knights drew their swords and mounted them.
Make a path of sword arches.
As the Marquise moved forward, the knights put down their swords, stood in front of them, and turned their backs to the advancing Marquise Balan. Originally, someone hoped to use such an action to express that the girl would become a noble.
The intention of transferring to another identity. But how others interpret such an action is beyond his control.
When the Marquise walked through the sword arch, deacons wearing black attendant uniforms walked out from the left and right. One person held a plate in his hand, and on it was a beautifully made magician's shawl. Naturally, a maid draped it on the Marquise, symbolizing
Let her enter the world of magic.
In the hand of the other deacon was a large tray with a small tray on top, and a bowl of tea on the small tray. The Marquise picked up the small tray, walked carefully to the lich, and bowed to offer tea.
.
Because there is no custom of kneeling in Midi, someone does not force a girl who wants to learn magic to do such a humiliating action for the natives of Midi. Asking a noble to bend down a little is already quite a concession.
"Teacher, please have some tea." Marquis Balan spoke for the first time in front of everyone, dispelling the rumor that she was mute.
However, Fen did not accept the tea offer immediately, but hesitated for a moment. Just when everyone thought that things had changed, she finally rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her green hands, and took the tea.
Bowl of tea.
In fact, the reason why Lich was slow for a moment was because she was thinking about a question: Why does tea need to be used to learn skills? Isn't it bad to use coffee, or soda water? That man always persists in inexplicable places.
