Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 130 128. The Duke's Luncheon

Lante followed the court baron into the side hall, and finally saw the king of the Dragon Kingdom, Dusen Baixiao and Li Qi Honglong.

The king has a full face, bright light blue eyes, a golden crown on his head decorated with animal shapes, and is wearing a bright red dress with many medals.

His Majesty the King of the Golden Knight is close to 4 meters tall, and looks like a giant to Rand.

In contrast, Prince Li Qi, who is at the Grand Knight level, looks very kind. The prince's face is very close to His Majesty's, but his eyes are beautiful golden, showing his identity as a dragon descendant.

Prince Li Qi was wearing a crimson dress with the duke's insignia that had just been conferred on it. The Dragon Kingdom's starburst gem badge on a red background was paired with a sapphire-colored ribbon, which was very conspicuous.

Rand, who was conferred for military exploits, was the first nobleman to be conferred. When he walked in front of the king, he felt the coercion brought by the Golden Knight.

Lante knelt down on one knee, and Wang Gang tapped Lante's left shoulder with a scepter, and the canonization belonging to Lante was over.

"Well done, it's been a long time since the whole kingdom won such a big victory like yours." After Rand got up, King Dusen whispered to Rand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Rand, who felt the great pressure, was almost speechless.

"Lielle told me to communicate more with you young people." After Du Sen finished this endless sentence, the king's attendant brought Rand to Duke Li Qi's side.

"Viscount Lante, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can chat a little more at the luncheon later." Li Qi's smile was kind and graceful, which was the result of good court training.

"As you wish, Your Highness." In contrast, Rand could only force a smile.

After receiving the title, Rand was directly led by the court baron to a banquet hall, which is where Duke Li Qi had a luncheon. Li Qi and the king still had at least two hours to travel. Before the banquet really started, Rand You can only chat with acquaintances in the banquet hall.

The banquet hall is located on the periphery of the palace. It is an independent circular building with a dome. After entering the venue, there are buffet tables on the outside of the building, some tables in the middle, and a venue for performances and dancing in the middle.

In this banquet hall, which was several times larger than the Blue Dragon's Ballroom, Rant met everyone he knew in the capital, including his own knight Dugan, Tierney, Medici, Antreche, and even the person in charge John Magister of the Knight Qualifying Exam was also present.

With so many acquaintances appearing at the same time, Rand felt that a conspiracy was going on against him.

Master John is holding a new novel to communicate with Rand's boss, Earl Corbin, "Captain, I am currently reading a new book "The Legend of the Dragon Knight of Suldak", which is the "Biography of Master Jijia" back then. The author's latest work, there are elves and succubi in it."

"Look at this illustrated edition, how beautiful it is!" As he spoke, John turned to the illustrations of the succubus, not daring to touch the pages of the book for fear of damaging them.

"Old John, your hobbies really haven't changed at all." Corbin said with a smile, without taking his eyes off the illustration for a moment. "You just love illustrated hero stories."

"Hey, captain, haven't you changed?" John didn't want to be outdone, "I like to read stories about a little knight marrying a noble daughter and becoming a great lord."

The two gray-bearded old guys were really excited and happy when they communicated, making the acquaintances around want to pretend that they didn't know them.

"Dugan, it's not my delusion. There are so many teachers in the school here?" Rant specifically went to Dugan, wanting to confirm the purpose of bringing all the teachers from the Blue Dragon School here.

"You read that right, all the teachers with the surnames of the great nobles have received the invitation." Dugan also frowned, counting the people present in his mind.

. . . . .

"Hahaha, Gu Leiya, you are really joking, who could be more suitable than you?" "That's right, you and Li Qi grew up together."

Amidst the chirping voices, a group of women in red dresses walked into the banquet hall. Like a flame, they ignited the atmosphere in the banquet hall.

There are a total of 16 women in this group, the leader is 2.6 meters tall, about the same as Li Qi Lanlong who has just been promoted to a great knight. She has brown hair, her eyebrows are full of heroism, and her eyes are like light blue gemstones. The hall scanned the audience and stayed on Rand for a few seconds.

"My lord, that lady is His Royal Highness Li Qi's first wife, the newly conferred duchess, great knight Suzy Lanyuan," Dugan whispered to Rand.

"Big knight?" Rand was a little surprised, "This king is just different."

"Susie Lanyuan is a rare genius knight even in the entire empire. It is said that her mount is a griffin."

"Rich!" Rand had never seen a flying monster since he came here.

The girls behind Su Xi came in surrounded by the even taller Guleia Blue Dragon. The tall dragon girl blushed and lowered her head. Suddenly, she heard a girl around her talk about "Galloping Horse Plains" and raised her head. But seeing Lante Galloping Horse looking at him, his face turned redder.

"The ones surrounded by Guleya are her maids?" It was the first time that Lante saw Guleya being so shy, so he could only continue to ask Dugan.

"Look at what you said, those are the concubines of Duke Li Qi." Dugan's tone of voice was so calm that Rand was a little surprised.

"Are they all his concubines?" Rant thought to himself, if he had known that Li Qi had been given some tonics, even a great knight would not be able to deal with 16 female demon possessors taking turns.

"No wonder," Rand muttered in a low voice, no wonder the high-ranking aristocrats must be high-ranking, otherwise their own harem would not be able to handle it.

"My lord? The Duchess is here" Dugan reminded Rand, and then quickly saluted Su Xi.

Su Xi Lanyuan's pace is clearly in line with the court etiquette in the textbook, but in Lante's view, she is like a knight who is eyeing her opponent.

"Viscount Lante?" Before reaching Lante, Su Xi took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

"Greetings, Duchess." Rand used the most standard court etiquette as much as possible, for fear that the Duchess would criticize him.

"Li Qi always told me that you stand up in front of the barbarians, you are really a role model for the nobles of the kingdom."

"It's my honor." Rant had an illusion that the Duchess was not good at being hypocritical and submissive. Her blunt compliments to herself showed that things behind her were more troublesome.

"It's a pity that a person like you didn't stay in the capital, Li Qi and I." Su Xi stared at Rand, as if waiting for him to speak.

Rand naturally dared to speak, so he could only smile, trying to get through this time.

"But it doesn't matter if you are far away in the Benma Plain. I have a cousin who is also your classmate in Blue Dragon School. Now she is a junior knight." Su Xi looked at a girl not far away, "She has always been I want to meet you, and I will introduce her to you in a while."
