The owner of the manor where Bergman was staying was a hereditary silver-eyed aristocrat whose ancestors once gave birth to four-winged knights. Although the reception held nominally invited a wide range of guests, in fact most of the guests who came were mainly silver-eyed.
Although three Lich Kings had been born in the Demon World at that time, the number of Winged Knights was still only over a hundred, and Silver Eyes' political status often showed signs of instability. There was no way, the sheer number of members might still be based on cloning.
Secret medicine can be used to forcibly improve, but establishing a spiritual connection with the nightmare, or even summoning across dimensions, can only depend on talent. No matter how many silver eyes you have, you have no spiritual potential since you were a child and cannot establish a connection, and you are not even qualified to be a knight.
If so, no matter how long you live and how many children you have, it is still waste.
The wine bar is like a battlefield. Things that cannot be won by talent can naturally only be obtained by relying on off-the-beaten-path tricks. Whether it is a declining family or a suddenly rising upstart, most of them travel to similar drinking parties day and night.
Form an intricate network of relationships.
The great development era of the earth-splitting feudal lords has passed, and the three continents are already crowded with hundreds of millions of people. The demon sea tribe is not an easy target to be provoked, and high-end powerhouses such as the demon dragon and the ancient crocodile king naturally do not need to be counted on.
.If the new generation of demon elites want to rise step by step through their military exploits like their predecessors, it will be really difficult for them to reach the sky.
The large cracks in time and space that the dumb moon returns to can only open once every ten thousand years. If you want to regain the homeland taken by the Aegean invaders, you will have to wait at least several thousand more years. Although some naturally opened small cracks can allow a small number of people to form a team to pass through, it is a pity that
Cross-dimensional combat without logistics is definitely not something a wise man would do—nobles will never do stupid things that only brainless angry youths do.
The result is that the thousands of mutated beasts on the Demonic Continent are unlucky. Some super-level extreme masters face hundreds of adventure team challenges almost every day, and most of them are simply crushed alive.
Death, not even a decent way to die, the output of Blue Blood Painting has maintained a steady growth trend...
But all of this has nothing to do with Bergman. She is just a weak commoner lich woman. She has no ability to practice attacking arcane spells, and the "sightedness and quick hands" required to negatively bless arcane spells have nothing to do with Bergman.
Relations. There were also simple training courses in the shelter. Bergman's grades could not even pass the worst three-star level. The only thing suitable for her was to serve as a facade in an aristocratic manor.
It seems a bit down.
Therefore, at that short-staffed reception, no one in the manor expected her to be a newcomer, including herself. The waiter's outfit was temporarily borrowed from others. Due to the size, Bergman
She forced herself to open her eyes, whose eyesight had deteriorated during the day, and took a few stitches before she could put it on. However, precisely because of the small differences in this costume, she attracted the attention of many more guests than other maids without knowing it.
.
Among them was a middle-aged gangster named Walker from a run-down noble family. This man's surname was no longer glorious, and he himself had not made any outstanding achievements for hundreds of years. Instead, he was known as a womanizer.
He is famous far and wide. However, his natural handsome appearance with silver eyes saved him. I heard that this guy moves around frequently with the female relatives of some dignitaries, and occasionally he can catch a bit of pillow breeze. This has also become his favorite at various cocktail parties.
A way to eat and drink.
Ordinarily, he wouldn't dare to touch the maid at a cocktail party like this. At most, he would just use his eyes to take advantage. But Miss Bergman's luck has always been bad. Her eyesight is not very good. She was serving a certain hot dish.
When I was there, I was blinded by the steam, and the dish and the plate were thrown onto the head of the unscrupulous Yin Tong.
This time it was almost like Bergman delivered the goods to his door. Walker never refused the meat that came to his mouth. Although the owner of the manor didn't like this silver-eyed man very much, he also couldn't do it for a little orphan.
The maid fell out with him, and the matter evolved in a direction that everyone knew with the tacit approval of the master. Although Bergman had been struggling desperately, it was to no avail. The nobles attending the banquet around him completely regarded this matter as something bad.
She came to enjoy a third-rate stage play, but no one was willing to stand up for her, and no one wanted to interrupt the "fun."
Bergman's white maid uniform was torn off several buttons by Walker in public, and she could only pull it with both hands to prevent it from being exposed. But at this time when she was dying of shame and anger, she could still vaguely hear the nobles nearby.
Taking bets on when Walker will rip off her coat.
The poor Lich Maid quickly ran out of energy and almost gave up her struggle. All the surrounding scenes and sounds became blurry in her mind. The same scene seemed to have happened many years ago, when Bergman
It seems that she was still a little girl who was scolded as blind by the older children all day long. Those nasty children always took pleasure in pushing her down frequently. Bergman, who was bullied at the time, seemed to feel the same way...
However, it seemed that someone drove away the bad boys at that time and saved my young self.
Who is it? Why can't I almost forget the appearance of that little benefactor? The long purple hair that reaches past the shoulders, the bright silver eyes, and the smile that is always on his lips, as dazzling as Diplo.
"Humphrey..." Bergman murmured this name subconsciously when he was about to fall into coma.
There seemed to be sounds of loud shouting, the muffled sound of heavy objects being hit, and the sound of tables and chairs falling over. Then the next moment, Bergman fell into a broad and warm embrace. The surroundings were filled with her for a moment.
A familiar scent deeply imprinted in my mind.
"Don't be afraid, Bergman, I'm here..."
The hosts and guests at the banquet were surprised to find that someone actually beat Walker out for a maid, and the latter actually ran away regardless of his aristocratic status. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in every corner.
"Who is that silver pupil? His face is very raw, why does it seem like Walker knows him too?"
"Isn't this the new silver-eyed knight of the Bogart family? A genius warrior who has killed no less than ten mutant beasts by himself when he has just reached adulthood. It is said that every time he goes to a city, those crazy ladies will collapse the hotel where he lives.
Where is the threshold..."
"So handsome~~~Look at that face, look at those muscle lines~~~That little maid is so lucky, how great it would be if I could take her place now~~"
Even though she still couldn't see clearly, from the whispers of the guests around her, Bergman still heard the true identity of the person holding her, and endless joy filled every corner of her heart in an instant. "
Humphry...is that really you?"
"Yes, Ingrid, it's me." In a trance, a coat with Humphrey's body temperature was wrapped around him. It was as if he had really returned to many years ago.
A relieved smile crept up the corner of Bergman's mouth. Her glasses had long been knocked off in the dispute, the maid's headscarf was also missing, and her long hair was naturally scattered so casually. The witch now lying in Bogart's arms
The enchanting little girl was not extremely beautiful, but her touching expression and natural temperament made the surrounding guests instantly shocked, and the humming noise subsided unconsciously.
The owner of the manor reluctantly stood up. Since he did not show up at the beginning, he had already missed the best opportunity to solve the problem. Now that he saw Bogart, who was known as the hope of the younger generation, openly resorting to force, he wanted to remedy the situation.
A little late.
You know, Humphrey Bogart's name has already occupied a place in the three continents of the Demon Realm. The Knights of the Temple and the Burning Legion are quarreling over the recruitment of this young man. It is even said that a certain Lich King moved to recruit him.
The thought of taking under his command. Although Bogart has not summoned his nightmare mount at this moment, this in itself is enough to prove his excellence. Even the descendants of the Four-Winged Knight have to weigh such a weight.
one time.
Of course, on the premise that Walker would not retaliate, the matter could be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Bergman was just a little maid, and had never been mistreated either in the asylum or in the manor. This sudden incident
Everyone turned a blind eye to the incident and passed it by. Giving maids as gifts was completely common among nobles...
In this way, Bergman left the manor where he had lived for several years. Bogart had a small adventure team, in which even the crypt shooters were young women. Although there were obvious flaws in arcane attacks, Bergman joined in.
It's also much easier.
When packing her luggage, Bergman actually had nothing to pack and take away. She only came to the piano room to say goodbye to the lady when she was about to leave. The two girls, who were not much different in age, even cried in each other's arms.
I had a scene. I was happy for Bergman, but also sad for the fate that the young lady could not change.
The aristocratic concubine who was both a teacher and a friend actually lived a very poor life, and could hardly afford a decent parting gift. Naturally, the piano in the house could not be given as a gift, but neither she nor Bergman liked other crystal musical instruments...
...Before she had no choice, the lady rummaged through the box and found an ancient music score. Bergman took it into his hand, and the two of them cried slowly for a while, and Miss Lich finally embarked on the road of separation.
Due to lack of relevant knowledge, Bergman actually did not know how popular her Humphry was. This not only refers to the value measured by women's standards, in fact, whether it is official, temple or large adventure groups
He extended an olive branch to Bogart, which was actually quite an honor for a man whose family background was not prominent. But he didn't seem to care, and he wasn't even in a hurry to summon his nightmare mount to upgrade.
Bergman didn't understand these things at all at the time. She just wanted to simply stay with Humphrey.
