Chapter 281: The Banquet III.
After that, the welcome banquet began in the true sense of the word.
As one of the protagonists of the banquet, Dean was dragged by the Earl of Horsh to introduce the guests to the banquet - most of them were celebrities in the city.
Either he has a noble title or is very rich.
Or, simply the right-hand man of the Earl of Holsh—
For example: Mott. Karl, Bosa like that.
Of course, there is also the existence of Loersid, which makes Dean frown.
"Mott, Norton, Dean, you've got to know each other! Bosa, the head of my Knights, and Lorcid, the head of my mercenary group...... There are also Zach and Teber, who are now stationed in the barracks outside the city, and there is no way to get here, and after that, I will introduce you personally! ”
Earl Horsh focused on the people he thought Dean should know.
The three great knights, the two silver knights, and the leader of the local mercenary group, almost all of the high-end forces of Horsh County, all appeared in front of Dean one by one.
Although the other two great knights did not see it, Bosa and that Lorcid showed their kindness.
"Hello, Lord Zelgaon!"
It was not rude for Bosa to greet him as a silver knight, but on the contrary, he gave Dean a lot of respect.
"Just call me Dean, Lord Bossa!"
Dean bowed, respectfully reminiscing.
The other party's deeds are worthy of him doing so.
"Well, okay, Dean!"
Bosa smiled. Nodding.
"Dean. Can I call you that? I'm Loersid. The leader of the Lion Mercenary Regiment - Roalte had gone too far before...... I wanted to punish him every time, but every time I ...... Alas, it's all in the past! Now, I think we'll be friends! ”
As he spoke, the mercenary shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Dean.
"Of course!"
Facing each other's smiles, he also showed a warm smile.
Seeing the friendly and friendly appearance of the two, the Earl of Hosh on the side finally relieved his heart. With a long breath, he looked at Dean again.
The straight body, just standing there, also reminds people of the javelin; And the appearance that was originally just handsome, under the cold breath of the heroic martial arts, became extraordinary, like a general who had experienced a hundred battles, standing under the outstanding merits, which made people admire and admire.
Undoubtedly, the appearance, temperament, and etiquette are all good.
Then think about Dean's strength. Count Hosh couldn't help but nod again.
Then, he gestured to Mott, Bosa, and Lorcid. Pulling Dean on, he continued to walk towards the corner of the banquet - unlike the man before.
Here, it's all ladies.
Mott and Bosa couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Although Loersid on the side was also laughing, there was a glint in the depths of his eyes.
However, it soon disappeared.
The rest is just the same smile as Mott and Bosa.
Dean followed Earl Hosh and let the other introduce the ladies - unlike Hitty, in Gosai and Emerald, because of the appearance of the 'empress', the women of these two countries have quite high positions, not only to be able to enter the city knighthood, but also to be in charge of the territory.
Therefore, it is really normal for a few women to appear among some big people.
At first, Dean naturally smiled or raised his glass.
However, it was only a moment later that Dean noticed that something was wrong.
"This is my eldest daughter, Flynn ......"
"This is my second daughter, Liz......"
"This is my third daughter......"
……
The continuous introductions, as well as the smiling ladies around him, even if Dean is dull, he knows that something is wrong.
What's more, Dean is not sluggish.
Almost the next moment, the smile on Dean's lips stiffened slightly.
"Lord Earl, Mott invited me to discuss some military strategies......"
Dean said the excuse, and then, with an apologetic smile.
"Oh? That's a shame! We'll be able to move on later, though! ”
Count Hosh shook his head regretfully.
"It's about some sand table deductions, and it's estimated that it will last for a long time! You see, Mott can't wait! ”
Dean's apology grew stronger, and then, without waiting for the Earl in front of him to react, he walked towards the place where Mott was in the distance.
Dean, who turned to leave, clearly heard the earl's sigh.
Then, his pace grew faster.
Dean could swear that he wouldn't panic even against a true silver-level opponent.
"Haha, our Dean, seems to be a little frightened!"
With a gloating laugh, Mott clinked his glass at Bosa, and the wine was drained.
"You already knew?"
Dean asked angrily.
"The daughters of our Lord Count are as famous as his kindness!"
With a gentle smile, Bosa raised his glass to Dean, but the corners of his mouth were like Mott's, with a hint of a smile that could not be concealed.
"I have a lover, but I think Mott would be a good fit!"
Dean couldn't help but roll his eyes as he faced the two Silver Knights who sincerely wanted to see his joke.
"I also have someone I like......"
Mott said with certainty, and then, his eyes subconsciously looked at the Grand Duke Swordsman who was staying with several celebrities and ladies in the distance.
That kind of gentle gaze made Dean stunned.
Then, a strange and wonderful feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
"Mott won't be unaware of ......"
I thought of this possibility, and then, I thought of the Grand Duke Swordsman. Sex. Orientation. Suddenly. Dean's face turned weird—he wanted to laugh. But he couldn't laugh.
"Dean, what's wrong?"
Bosa, who was on the side, looked at Dean's appearance and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Nothing! What about Loersid? Loersid's age and strength are just right, right? ”
Dean waved his hand, and then looked at the leader of the lion mercenary group in the distance among a group of celebrities and noblewomen.
"He? There is no problem with age and strength, but there are some problems with the lady - Lord Earl, I hope that his daughter is truly happy. And not a superficial harmony! ”
Bosa frowned subconsciously as he heard Dean mention the leader of the Lion Mercenary Regiment.
Undoubtedly, this is a clean and self-righteous silver knight.
"What does that guy want to do? Does he want to die? ”
Suddenly, Mott on the side broke out with a low shout; Suddenly, Dean and Bosa, who were talking, were attracted to them, and the two looked at Mott's line of sight.
I saw that the leader of the lion mercenary group stood in front of the Grand Duke Sword Master with a smile on his face, stretched out a hand to lift the back of the Grand Duke Sword Master's hand, and kissed it gently.
Kiss the hand. A very normal scene.
At various banquets and larger occasions, the etiquette of facing the ladies.
And there's nothing strange about it!
But. The keen eyes of the three people here clearly saw that the leader of the lion mercenary group raised the little finger of the hand of the Grand Duke Sword Master, and was sweeping the palm of the Grand Duke Sword Master under the cover.
And this is obviously beyond the scope of the kiss ceremony.
Even, it's a complete teasing.
Crunchy......
The silver cup, with a crunching sound, was pinched flat by Mott, and the wine spilled Mott's hand; However, the Silver Knight didn't care at all.
At this moment, his eyes were already looking at the leader of the Lion Mercenary Regiment in the distance.
"Calm down, Mott! This is the Earl's banquet! ”
Bosa reached out and patted Mott on the shoulder, whispering a reminder.
"Don't worry, I know this is the Earl's banquet, otherwise, that bastard would have been dead! However, the time of his death has also been determined! After the banquet, it was his time of death! To dare to do this to Etrice, I must first smash his claw, and then, break his neck! ”
Mott said unceremoniously.
His face was hideous, and his murderous intent was boiling.
If he hadn't seen such a change with his own eyes, Dean would never have imagined that someone who was humorous and witty a moment ago would become like a butcher.
"Sure enough, I really like the instructor; However, the instructor ...... If you really know the truth - this scene in front of you has already made Mott's murderous intent boil, if you know the truth, I'm afraid Mott will have to collapse...... Moreover, the relationship between Loersid and Mott seems to be strained? ”
Dean glanced at Mott, whose eyes were red, and thought to himself.
However, the next moment, Dean also began to comfort the other party-
"Don't worry, the instructor seems to be weak, but he is definitely not a loser!"
Dean said with a smile.
And as if to prove what Dean said, just as Dean's voice fell—
Syllable!
A loud slap rang out.
The Grand Duke's swordsman drew out his 'harassed' palm and swung it extremely quickly.
The slap was not only loud, but also echoed.
Suddenly, a five-finger mark appeared on the cheek of the leader of the lion mercenary group, and it quickly became red and swollen, making the hard-looking and handsome face become weird.
And this scene made the surrounding celebrities and ladies let out bursts of exclamations.
"Look!"
Dean, who was in the distance, shrugged his shoulders at Mott again.
"This is the Etrix I know!"
Mott laughed, a very bright kind, but then the splendor became gloomy—because, in the distance, the head of the lion mercenary regiment, surrounded by ladies and noblemen, was showing off his acting skills to make himself look innocent, and to make the Grand Duke's swordsmanship unreasonable.
Sou!
Mott vanished in place, before Dean and Bosa could stop him.
"Shut up!"
The silver knight, who appeared in front of the leader of the lion mercenary group at the next moment, swept aside the surrounding ladies and noblewomen, and at the same time drank loudly.
Suddenly, Dean and Bosa ignored each other and smiled bitterly.
Still, Dean always felt something was wrong in his heart - something weird, but the kind that couldn't be said.
