The investiture ceremony is a very formal occasion, and everything is well-arranged.
Therefore, during the investiture ceremony, except for Li Ge, who was the protagonist, everyone else was just a foil on this occasion and had no role other than being a witness.
However, with so many high-ranking officials and nobles present, it was naturally impossible for them to just come for a formality and then go back.
For them, Lige's home court is during the medal ceremony, and their home court is after the medal ceremony.
Especially those nobles who had long thought about Li Ge, after the investiture ceremony, they finally found an opportunity to establish a relationship with Li Ge.
This is not easy!
Before Li Ge revealed his identity as a sword master, many nobles wanted to get closer to him, but they were all rejected.
Regardless of whether it was a big noble or a small noble, even if someone from the duke's family came to visit, they were not able to see Lige in the end. Most of the letters he sent were lost, and only some words full of scenes were returned.
The reply was obviously not written by Li Ge himself, but someone ghostwritten it.
This caused many nobles who wanted to communicate with this young newly promoted swordsman to fail to achieve their goals, including a certain eldest lady who wanted to use Kalika to secretly meet Li Ge.
What's even more amazing is that after Li Ge exposed his strength, he actually set up a ring directly outside the gate of Franzel's house, accepting challenges from others every day, fighting from morning to evening, and besides being bored in the ring at the end of the day,
I have never stepped out of the villa's front door.
As a result, the nobles had no chance to talk to Li Ge, which was quite depressing.
It wasn't until today that the opportunity finally came.
So, after the investiture ceremony was over and the king left the stage with the support of the civil knights, high-ranking officials and nobles finally surrounded Lige.
"I've met Lord Brighaut."
"I've met Lord Sword Master."
"I have long admired your name, Mr. Li Ge."
They greeted Li Ge one after another with friendly smiles on their faces, and some even had flattering expressions on their faces.
"Hello."
Li Ge also knew that he might not be able to escape the social interaction on this occasion, so he nodded to everyone and said hello.
At this moment, Li Ge became the focus of the audience. He was surrounded by dignitaries in luxurious clothes, talking to each other.
Even Yuli came over, holding Li Ge's hand, standing with Li Ge, and accompanying him to deal with these nobles.
Everyone in the audience saw this scene, and their minds were full of thoughts.
Especially those nobles who had never seen Li Ge or the relationship between Li Ge and Yuli were very surprised.
They knew that the relationship between Li Ge and Yuli was not simple, but seeing how close Yuli was to Li Ge, the relationship between the two seemed to be better than they imagined.
At least, they had never seen Marquis Franzel so close to anyone in public, let alone holding each other's hand.
This made countless people think about it.
"Are these two a couple?"
"Looking at Marquis Franzel, it's obvious that he is very close to this Lightning Sword Master."
"It would be incredible if these two were a couple."
"Once this relationship is exposed, the entire continent will be shaken."
The nobles began to whisper among themselves.
If the relationship between Li Ge and Youli is really as good as they imagined, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that the whole continent will be shocked.
One is an unprecedented 17-year-old sword master and tactical magician with unlimited potential and a promising future.
One is that there are only three strategic-level magicians in the history of the mainland who are also only 17 years old. They also have unlimited potential.
In the eyes of others, these two beings are just juniors. They are too young to be true, but they have both achieved the highest glory and achievements in the mainland. If they really combine with each other, it will definitely make countless countries tremble.
As long as everyone present thinks about that kind of future and the influence and development that the two people will bring together in the future, no one will be secretly stunned.
"It seems that I can't ignore them anymore."
"Even if you can't build a good relationship, you can't offend easily."
"Offending one person may be the same as offending the other person, and the consequences will be disastrous."
"Keep a good relationship. If you can really make good friends, it's equivalent to making good friends with two people at once. It's not a loss."
Thinking of this, the nobles who were still watching couldn't help it. One after another, they came forward and came to Lige and Yuli.
Unfortunately, not everyone is so aware of current affairs.
After all, there are still some bad customers who will come to you even if they are not welcomed.
"It's quite lively, how about adding me?"
When such a voice broke in, overwhelming everyone's voices, everyone present, including Li Ge and Yuli, fell silent.
Everyone looked at the source of the sound.
Li Ge and Yuli also made a move, one looked calm and the other frowned.
Under such circumstances, His Highness the Prince appeared on the stage, dressed brightly and with a sword as luxurious as a work of art on his waist.
It is the third prince, Sorok Jinas.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
All the nobles immediately lowered their heads, subconsciously moved out of the way, and saluted Sorok respectfully.
"Is it him?"
"Why is he here?"
Some nobles visibly darkened their faces.
Obviously, they were all supporters of the Duke faction and felt uneasy about the arrival of this mad dog prince.
In a formal investiture ceremony like this, generally only nobles with titles, civil servants and knights of the knighthood can appear.
In other words, those noble children and royal children who have not inherited the title will usually not attend this ceremony.
At the investiture ceremony just now, none of the princes and princesses of the royal family were present, including Prince Sorok.
But now, the other party took the initiative to enter the venue after the ceremony, which made all the nobles feel uneasy.
Sorok didn't care about the reactions around him. He entered the room on his own and came to Lige and Yuli on his own, smiling at them.
That smile is still very personal, giving people the feeling of mocking, mocking, and looking down on others.
"We meet again, you two."
This time, Sorok no longer only had Yuli in his eyes, but also clearly included Lige in his field of vision. Looking at the man and woman holding hands with each other, he grinned.
"You've been making a lot of noise recently. Even the grounded prince can hear people in the palace discussing you every day. It seems that you are having a lot of fun outside these days."
I don't know what his intention was, but Sorok said such words, which seemed to have some meaning.
"...Your Highness was joking." Although Yuli frowned obviously, she still replied in an indifferent tone: "We didn't do anything special."
"Are you kidding?" Sorok grinned, turned to Li Ge, and said: "The youngest sword master in history is right next to you, and he can instantly kill the descendant of the Borlai family's sword master with one blow.
, and even set up an arena, fighting thousands of battles every day, and became known as the Lightning Sword Master."
"When the lightning flashes, it means defeat?"
"This is such a resounding name!"
When these words came out of Sorok's mouth, they didn't feel like compliments at all, but like sarcasm.
The nobles around him frowned. Some were unhappy with Sorok's style, while others looked timid.
As for Yuli, she looked at Sorok like this with cold eyes.
But Sorok no longer had her in his eyes.
He just looked at Li Ge with a calm face, grinning, but his eyes flickered frequently.
Even now, Sorok is actually not very able to accept that the guy in front of him who he had ignored before and deliberately warned him once has become a sword master.
Sorok even expressed doubts about the rumors about Rige's former senior swordsman and tactical magician, let alone such an outrageous thing now?
As a 17-year-old sword master, if someone had told Sorok that Li Ge was such a person before, he would have scoffed and wouldn't even feel the need to listen.
Nowadays, the rumor that Albert, who is the number one among Lige's instant kill sword masters, fights thousands of games every day and maintains an undefeated record so far has been completely confirmed. If Sorok questions it again, then it is just
Just incompetent and furious.
Therefore, Sorok had to face up to Li Ge and regard him as a threat.
So Sorok came today.
Being grounded, he wanted to see Li Ge, and this was probably his only chance.
"Li Ge Brighaut." Sorok looked directly at Li Ge and said: "I admit that I underestimated you before."
It is not easy to make Sorok think so of himself.
He is cruel and jealous and never admits that he is inferior to anyone.
Albert, who is known as the number one among the sword masters, in Sorok's view, only took advantage of his age. If he were at his age, he would never lose to him.
He also looked down upon his other brothers and sisters, looked down upon any so-called genius among his peers, and was so proud that he regarded the throne as his own.
It is precisely because of this that when Saint Nidol, who is not much different in age from him, is regarded as the best successor to the next king, and his talent for achievement is also considered to be above him, Sorok's reaction is so big, like
It bit each other like a mad dog.
He did not admit that he would not be as good as Saint Nidol.
He did not admit that there were peers in the kingdom that he needed to look up to.
But the appearance of Li Ge shattered his pride in a simpler and more crude way than Saint Nidol.
Not only is he younger than Sorok, but his strength is far greater. He has become the first person in history to become a sword master before the age of 20, which makes people unable to even think of denying it.
When the gap reaches a certain level, it will make people lose their temper.
Such is the case with Sorok.
Fortunately, Li Ge is not a member of the royal family and has no competitive relationship with him.
In this case...
"Come to my side."
Sorok said this bluntly to Li Ge.
"Be loyal to me, and from now on you will be the greatest person in this country after me."
