Chapter 496: Hot (Three Watches)
"Distinguished guests, handsome gentlemen, beautiful ladies, allow me to introduce to you. Our war hero, Sir Allen! ”
After the dinner began, the host handed over the stage to Oban after a few words on the stage. After his impassioned opening remarks, Orban pushed Alan to the front of the stage, so that all the guests could catch a glimpse of Allen tonight. The clothes that Eren wore tonight were far less gorgeous than those of other nobles, but his great feats were the most gorgeous clothes. No matter how ordinary he dresses and has military exploits, in the eyes of those nobles, especially young and beautiful young ladies, Allen is a personable, handsome and promising gentleman. As for the clothes on his body, the past was automatically ignored.
Everyone knows that now this young jazz has become a popular figure under Oban, and the three jazzes are in hand, even after paying taxes to Oban every year, there is still a lot of money. What's more, Oban said in public that in order to help the development of Allen's territory, he exempted Allen's territory from taxes for three years, which is also a dazzling wealth.
As Orban continued to pour flowery words on Allen, the rich or nobles were already thinking about how to arrange for their daughters to get acquainted with the young knight, and those who had no daughters were eager to go home and make a man at once. Even the vassals under Opan, in addition to Viscount Grar, several other knights were considering whether they should adjust their attitude and stance towards Allen.
Because they saw Alan and Oban coming out of that small room in the hall, it was a signal that they didn't have a chance to enter this room in the White Castle at all. As you can tell from the fact that Oban and Alan walked out together, the Earl has a heart for Allen. Maybe Oban will be wary of Allen, but so far, Allen has undoubtedly received the most trust and respect.
If they continue to be enemies of such figures, it is difficult for the knights to imagine what the consequences will be.
When it came to the social part of the free activities of the banquet, Alan got off the stage and was immediately surrounded by more than a dozen aristocratic ladies. These young girls were obviously prepared, all dressed up in fancy clothes, and their dresses were as low-cut as possible, so as to highlight their youthful capital. Although they bear the name of nobility on their heads, if they can't find a good husband for themselves, they may not be able to live comfortably in the future.
After all, for the aristocracy, the son is the heir, and the daughter is the political capital to be sacrificed. Of course, in order to maximize the capital efficiency, the daughter will generally enjoy the best treatment of the family before marriage. Therefore, these young ladies standing beside Allen, even if some of them have mediocre appearances, the aristocratic atmosphere that exudes from their bones is like a fake.
They hope to get the attention of Allen, a young and powerful aristocrat like Allen, who is their dream marriage. As for whether Alan really loves them after getting married, and whether he will have a lover outside. They didn't care too much, as long as they gave birth to three or five children to Allen and consolidated their position, they could also find a lover outside, after all, this was the customary rule of the nobility.
However, one thing that must be strictly adhered to is that no matter how many lovers these ladies have outside, they must keep the wall until they get married, otherwise they will bring shame on the family.
Alan was surrounded by these many girls, and even the response was quite busy. What's more, some bold and enthusiastic girls also took every opportunity to desperately squeeze on him, teasing Allen's senses with suggestive movements. Alan had a great deal of fun tonight, and when he finally came out of the fat array, he already had a stack of invitations in his pocket. He shook his head, and when he went to look for Lucy and them, he found nothing. I had to leave the hall in a low-key manner and find a relatively quiet terrace to breathe.
I had just rested for a while when a faint fragrance entered my nose. He thought that it was a noble lady again, and the figure next to him flickered, but it was Jola who leaned against the railing of the terrace and chuckled: "Sir Alan is really not interesting, obviously they invited you first, but you forgot about me." ”
Alan saved the note in his pocket and Jora, but he hadn't had a chance to read it just now, but he didn't know that Jora had invited him. "I'm sorry, I don't know if Miss Ruola has any advice?" ”
"If I get it, Miss Miss." Jora is straightforward and straightforward.
"Then you should remove the word jazz too." Alan smiled faintly.
Jora nodded and said, "Don't you dare to ask for advice, those young ladies are circling around you, thinking that they want to get your attention so that they can marry you, right?" ”
Alan smiled bitterly, "So you're here to make fun of me." ”
"There is no such thing. You're a big celebrity next to my brother now, don't talk about them, even I want to slap you. Ruola suddenly leaned forward and said, "No kidding." Would you like to be your wife if I were your wife? ”
Alan was startled and lost his voice: "This is not a joke? ”
Ruola narrowed her eyes: "What, I'm not worthy?" ”
Alan shook his head helplessly, Jora was now in the prime of her life. I met by chance on the street before, and out of politeness, Alan naturally couldn't stare at everyone. Now that the two of them are staying together, looking carefully, Ruola is completely worthy of the word beauty. She was tall and wore a low-cut mermaid dress that framed her perfect figure. The twin peaks that held up the dress without any cushions were full and tight, coupled with the waist that was held in a tight way, and the slender and straight legs. There is no doubt that she is a stunner who can drive men crazy.
She lacks the green taste of Lucy and Adele, but has a little more mature fragrance. Especially since Jora is still a level 20 female warrior, the explosive power of that kind of body is not something that ordinary noble ladies can have. It allows Jora to be able to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and it must be excellent in another battlefield.
Glancing at Allen's gaze, Jora was sensitive. Especially when Allen's gaze fell on her twin peaks, Jora proudly raised her chest to meet Ellen's gaze. Her breathing was slightly rapid, and Jora suddenly drank the wine in the glass, put the glass down and turned around, and the whole person was attached to Alan's body.
Alan immediately felt the astonishing elasticity of Jora's chest, and in his surprised gaze, Jora smiled wildly. She simply reached out and wrapped her arms around Allen's neck, and the person pressed forward, barely any space between her and Allen. Alan felt her aggressive movements, and her body reacted naturally. There seemed to be a flame burning in his lower abdomen, and he immediately responded to Jora with a hard response.
Jora said "um", her face was hot and red, and she grinned, "You see, I'm still attractive." ”
"I admit this, but if you don't leave, Count Orban will only swallow me alive."
Ruola laughed, and then let go of Allen, but said: "What I want to do, as long as it is what I want to do, even my brother can't stop me." Besides, if you marry me, my brother will be happy to see it. I did this just now to sue you. In addition to helping you on the battlefield, I can also make you happy and satisfied on another battlefield. ”
Alan looked surprised again, and Jora pouted, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those prodigal women. In fact, I don't even have a lover until now. It's just that I have faith in myself, and I know very well what my body can give you. You can think about this carefully, but you don't need to answer it now. And I have my own reserves, but I don't want them to sell themselves upside down, although you are indeed the ideal marriage partner. ”
From this, it can be seen that Jora is a pragmatic person. It is not difficult to understand that sooner or later, she will have to sacrifice herself for the politics of Oban, and since she has to sacrifice, it is better to find someone who can be eye-catching, so that she still has a little choice.
"Alright, let's get down to business, let's talk about something fun." Jora smiled with crooked eyebrows, and her eyes were full of bad water, like a little fox who was calculating people.
Alan shook his head and smiled, "What's fun?" ”
"I'll tell you later, before that, you will answer me first, will you stay in Ark Harbor for a few days?"
"Three to five days at most, I'll have to go back." Alan replied truthfully.
"It's okay, it's still in time." With a little excitement, Jola whispered in Allen's ear: "I have a big business, and the profit is very good. Are you interested in coming together? ”
"What business?"
"I can't sue you now, I can only say that it's very profitable. But I can't be known by my brother because he won't be able to stand the stimulus. In short, you just have to answer me to do it or not to do it. ”
Alan was intrigued by her mystery, and thought that there was still time anyway, so he would go crazy with the girl. nodded immediately: "It's a fool not to make money if you have money, not to mention that I really need money now." ”
"Well, you don't have to pay attention to anything. I'll go to you tomorrow, of course, and I'll talk about it then. Jora grinned, and tucked her lips on Allen's cheek before walking away before disappearing into the crowd in the hall.
Alan smiled, and suddenly felt a strong hatred fall on him. He looked up to meet him, just in time to see Abel who hurriedly turned his face away. It seemed that he had been paying attention to the movement here just now, and Alan thought for a moment and knew that Abel must be pursuing Jora. Beauty, Earl's sister, Commander of the Deep. No matter which identity is this, it is enough to make Abel crazy to pursue.
It's a pity that Jora seems to be blind to her as an adjutant. After all, she just said that she didn't even have a lover.
Poor Abel. Alan said in his heart.
"Miss Jora is charming, isn't she?"
At this time, another person came into the terrace, and Alan saw that it was the young man with a secret identity, Rhine. He took the initiative to reach out, and after Alan shook his hand, Rhine looked at Ruola's back and said, "If I had known Ruola a few years earlier, I would have gotten her hands." A charming young lady like her doesn't want to be missed by any man. ”
Alan looked at him, Ryan laughed, waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, don't look at me like this, in fact, I already have three children." So I won't fight Miss Jora's idea again, and even if I want to find a lover, I won't find the Count's sister, which will not be good for me. ”
He raised his glass and exchanged a drink with Alan before saying, "I've been paying attention to you since Sir Allen killed Duruff. It is no exaggeration to say that Sir Allen's actions and battles after that are remarkable. It's surprising to meet someone like you in a place like Ark Harbor. With your ability, in less than five years, a small county will not be able to accommodate you. When the time comes, you can at least be a count. ”
"If you are given another five years, with a little luck, then it is possible to become a hereditary earl." Speaking of this, Ryin paused and said, "However, you are not the kind of person who is only content to be an earl, right?" ”
Alan smiled but said nothing.
Rhine turned around and looked at Ark Harbor and said, "To be honest, Count Oban is indeed a good friend. He is also ambitious, and he has a knack for socializing. But that's all there is to it, IMHO. The Count of Oban lacked no shortage of ambition and financial resources, but of the most crucial form of force, both in his own army and in his own personal strength. So even with the help of a character like you, at best, he can only expand his own sphere of influence. But limited by his own strength, it is impossible to fight for the identity of a marquis in this life. ”
"But you're different, you're young and you have a lot of potential. Given the chance, you can attack the Marquis. Rhine smiled and said, "I happen to know one or two really big people, and they also need talents like you." If you have such thoughts, feel free to find me in the imperial capital of Olisga. ”
He took out a beautiful and small card from his pocket, put it in Allen's hand quietly, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to answer, this promise is valid for three years." ”
Alan nodded, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Rhine." ”
Rhine patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm looking forward to your arrival, really." In that case, we're true friends. ”
After he left, Alan flipped through the card. The edge of the card is decorated with a circle of golden roses, and on top of it is a string of beautiful letters written in gold dust. This is an address, one located in the imperial capital of Ollista. This small address, but I don't know how many people are looking for the key. A truly important key to the upper echelons of imperial power!
Eren could feel the weight of this small card, which could lead Eren to the Marquis of the Empire. There were a hundred counts in the empire, and there were many viscounts and barons. However, there were less than twenty marquises, and only four grand dukes. And only when you get to the marquis, can you really enter the higher position of the empire's power pyramid.
The higher you go, the smaller the pyramid can land, and this is a power structure common to any planet and civilization! R1058
