Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 118 116. The Ball of the Blue Dragon House
Today, the Lanlong family's resident in the capital is brightly lit.

The resident has a special banquet building, which is close to a 30-meter-high house. The first floor is a hall dedicated to eating and dancing, with a height of 20 meters. Everything is available to meet the different needs of guests.

On one side of the hall, there is a striking staircase leading to the second floor. The bottom step of the staircase is large and wide, which can be used as a place for the banquet host to speak.

Next to the steps is an orchestra pool, in which there are standard musical instruments. The musicians are artists supported by the Blue Dragon family. The seating area is separated by a sofa and a buffet table.

Rand arrived at 5:[-], and we ate in the lounge area in the hall first. At this time, most of the guests did not come, and it would not look vulgar to take more Rand.

"Master Viscount, you haven't been back to school for the past two days, so you don't plan to read any more after being knighted?" When Rand was eating quietly, Gu Leya suddenly came over and asked Rand.

"Mr. Guleiya, thank you for your concern. Knowledge is endless. I can't spare time in the capital these days. I really can't use my limited energy to explore infinite knowledge." Lante explained with a wry smile, "I After finishing the rehearsal tomorrow, I will go back to school and take advantage of these few days to go to the library to study more."

"Without perseverance, it is impossible to go far on the extraordinary road." Gu Leya stared at Rand with golden eyes, and her tone was very sincere.

"Thank you for your reminder," Rand suddenly changed his style of painting, "I also want to thank you for your enlightenment. I wonder if I will be honored to invite you to dance later?"

"Me?" Long Nu was stunned suddenly, her face was a little red.

At this time, Rand noticed that the dragon girl was wearing an exaggerated long skirt, which perfectly set off her strong and plump figure. Rand almost asked if the dragon girl had two bags containing flames.

The long skirt covered Guleia's thick tail. It was hard for Rand to imagine how a 3-meter-long tail was wrapped in the floor-to-ceiling skirt. He just felt that there was no beautiful tail, so he could not see the figure of the dragon girl first.

"Okay...well,...that's...I'm not very good at dancing." The dragon girl blushed, and her eyes unconsciously glanced to one side.

"I won't either," Lante said with a smile, hoping that the dragon girl would dispel her worries.

When it was almost 6 o'clock, there were more and more guests, most of them were older barons or viscounts, and there were also many business partners or old friends of the Blue Dragon family. Most of them came here for personal entertainment, and some wanted to Let's talk about business while everyone is together.

At this time, Lante probably understood Antrech's intention to ask Lante to invite Guleia to dance.

It was as if there was a repelling halo around Guleia, and there was no one within two meters around her. The dragon girl was used to this, she just drank her tea elegantly and silently, and did not take the initiative to chat with people.

Rand wanted to chat with Dragon Girl, but was stopped by a neighbor. This baron, Tony Donner Galloping Horse, was in the same family as Rand, and most of the family lived in Mangrove Island in the Southeast Kingdom. .

Lante has long heard that the largest branch of the Benma family is the Marquis of Hongshu Island in the Southeast Kingdom. He did not expect to meet him in the capital.

"It seems that Mr. Lant has reached the level of an intermediate knight at such a young age. He is really a young talent of our Galloping Horse family." Tony Donner is also an intermediate knight himself. It seems that he is about the same age as Lant, but he does not hesitate to compliment others. hand.

"Where is it? It's just relying on His Majesty's protection and my own luck." Rand didn't introduce his background, and he didn't want to be noticed too much. He just wanted to say hello to Tony, but he didn't expect Tony to be very talkative.

"Land, are you a local nobleman of Julong? Then you will come to Mangrove Island as a guest when you find time." Tony chatted with joy, "Our Marquis is now the leader of the Benma family, and we are willing to support people from all over the place."

The Marquis of Hongshu Island has already learned about the barbarian movements on the Benma Plain this year from the imperial capital, and now he is eager to find the local nobles to inquire about the news.

Gradually, the guests arrived. At this time, the chatter in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at the steps. The legendary knight McLaren Blue Dragon came down from the second floor to meet the guests.

"Dear guests, friends and old friends of the Blue Dragon family, the New Year is coming. As the Duke of the Blue Dragon family, I would like to thank you for your care and help to the Blue Dragon family over the past year." McLaren was still wearing his sapphire blue dress, but There are more magic badges and decorations on the chest than I saw last time, and these badges exude an expensive atmosphere under the lights.

"In the past year, from the beginning to the end of the year, although there were always crises, with the joint efforts of everyone, we have overcome the most difficult moments.

I believe that in the new year, we can continue to cooperate, so that the friendship will last forever and the foundation will last forever. "The legendary knight raised his wine glass, "Everyone, pay tribute to His Majesty's 997 years"

"Salute" All the guests present raised their glasses to celebrate together.

Then the legendary knight began to toast with the distinguished guests one by one, starting with the marquis who was present, and then the earl.

Because it was the ball held by the Lanlong family to thank their partners in the imperial capital, the legends of other families did not come, but they only sent a representative of the Marquis level, and the king family and the Bai Xiao family were represented by the eldest son of Bai Xiao.

The current king himself, Dusen White Owl, is the Earl of the North, and his eldest son, Harboran White Owl, is the actual ruler of the Northern Earldom.

At the end of the toast, McLaren walked up to Lant, bumped into Lant specifically, and then introduced to everyone, "Gentlemen, this is Viscount Lant Benma, Viscount Northwest Rott, who is about to receive His Majesty’s court viscount, is the new owner of the salt mine on the Benma Plain!”

What McLaren said surprised all the guests. No human aristocrat in the past 300 years has been able to take down the Salt Mine in the Benma Plain. Unexpectedly, the Viscount in front of him could succeed.

"Viscount Lant understands the righteousness, and is willing to supply salt to the kingdom according to the contract of ancestors. In the future, the whole kingdom will have a reliable supply of salt. Let us toast to Viscount Lant!" The loud voice of the legendary knight made Lant suddenly become The focus of the audience.

After drinking the wine, Rand understood McLaren's deep meaning. Although the Yantie Division had reached an agreement with the barbarians before, they could not get on the stage after all, and could only let the original Viscount Bob be a second-hand dealer.

Now that Rand has won the salt mine, the Blue Dragon family can use Rand to wash away the entire stock of Benma Plain salt, and those who know the truth in private will not be able to use this matter to manipulate the Blue Dragon family in the future.

After drinking with Rand, the legendary knight returned to the stair area, announced the official start of the ball, and then he invited one of his wives to dance first, and then left.

"Congratulations to Viscount Lant." After McLaren left, the first person to congratulate was Tony Donner Galloping Horse. Tony was eager to know how big a piece of Galloping Horse Plains Land had won now, and whether it was true. The owner of the galloping horse, "I don't know what plans Mr. Viscount has in the future? When do you plan to recover Yeqi City?"

"Look at what you said, it's not easy for me to supply table salt now, and I have to protect the salt mines. Where can I get the energy to explore and recover Yeqi?" Phrasing may reduce other people's interest in you.

"The Benma Plain is the hometown of the entire Benma family. If Viscount Lant needs the support of the family, he must tell me." Tony is very real at the moment, holding Lant's hand tightly, "It's hard to say if there are too many. It can still be sent over."

"Thank you so much. I'll do some statistics when I get back here, and I'll tell you when I get the results!" Lante also held Tony tightly, talking nonsense sincerely. That's just opening your mouth.

This Tony is also a veteran, and he felt that something was wrong just listening to Lant's words. Just when he was about to continue to talk softly, Lant was rescued by Antrech.

"Knight Tony, Viscount Lant and I have something to discuss..." Antreche looked at Tony with a smile.

"Ah, of course." In front of the new generation of talents from the Blue Dragon family, Tony didn't dare to do anything wrong.

. . . . .

In the rest area, a group of women from the Blue Dragon family were pointing and pointing at Gu Leya in a low voice.

"Didn't you look at that pure blood dragonborn, so tall, how can anyone dare to ask her to dance?"

"That's right. I heard that she has a big tail behind her. It's probably wrapped around her legs, so she can't even walk."

"Keep your voice down, I heard she's about to break through"

"So what? Our child is almost a knight, and she can still come and beat me?"

As a dragon mage who is about to break through to a high level, Gu Leiya can hear these buzzing noises like flies very clearly, but she doesn't care about them. Since the bloodline was stimulated, the bloodline talent far surpassed her peers made her suffer too much. criticism.

The only reason she stayed here today was because someone asked her to dance, which was the first time after she broke through to the intermediate level.

"Miss Guleia, can I invite you to dance?" Rand walked up to Guleia and invited you with the most standard etiquette.

"Of course" Gu Leya agreed with a smile, put her hand on Rand's hand, and the two then walked to the dancing area hand in hand.

"Is anyone really invited?"

"It's the Viscount, a good young man who has no eyesight, and is not afraid of being thrown out."

Both Rand and Guleya ignored the gossip, but took their dance steps very seriously, trying not to be stepped on by each other.

No matter how elegant you are before dancing, you still have to be careful when dancing.

"Ah, I'm sorry." No matter how careful you are, Gu Leya's tail will still sweep the people around.

"If there is a chance, I invite you to dance on the grassland. When I was on the Galloping Horse Plain, I always danced away, and I would not bump into anyone." Lante looked at Gu Leya, wanting to say something to relieve him.

"That may not be in line with the original intention of dancing," Gu Leya smiled. "But in that case, how many people do you need in the band?"

"There is no band in our territory. Half of the people dance and the other half sing."

"Haha, I've heard the songs of your savages," Guleya recalled the scene in the Northwest Territory not long ago. "By the way, Lord Viscount."

"Please call me Lante if you can. You have already arrived at the Great Knight, so there is no need to call me that." Lante felt that he and the dragon lady in front of him were gradually getting used to the dance music, at least they didn't step on each other in the last four eight beats.

"Okay, Rand Knight, can you take me with you when you go back to school tomorrow? It will be too conspicuous if I fly back by myself." Gu Leya felt a little embarrassed, the school and family generally did not arrange carriages for her, and she had to rely on Spell flight.

"Of course, I'm going to Longtai Mountain tomorrow afternoon to meet my boss, and I'll come here to pick you up later." Rand was very happy to be with Long Niang when he went back to school.

"One more thing, I'm not a knight, I'm a dragon mage," Gu Leya was very concerned about others' perception of her profession.

"Ah, I heard that you can fight 4 barbarian cavalry with your bare hands."

"It's simply because they are too weak." Long Niang's explanation was very convincing, and Lante even felt the tail under her skirt move happily.

After the song was over, the dancers came down to rest one after another, and Rand and Guleia also came down. After completing the task, Rand was going to go home and get up early tomorrow to go to the kingdom rehearsal.
