Wizard: I crush the legend with my martial arts

Chapter 35
  Alphonse opened the letter and looked at it. It was an invitation to a party from Count Mujik's son, Feren, for tomorrow night.

After the honor duel, Faerun mentioned this matter.

Then I agreed.

I didn't expect it to take so long.

This time happened to be coincidental, just after he succeeded as the lord of the Cold Wind Territory.

Faerun's news is quite good.

It just so happens that at this moment, the innate formless magic skill can be mastered to the first level after more than one day of quiet practice.

To be honest, Alphonse didn't want to go.

Attending such aristocratic social gatherings is a waste of time.

But after thinking about it for a while, I decided to take a trip.

Just in time to see what kind of medicine is sold in Faerun's gourd.

If nothing else, this so-called "good friend" must have evil intentions.

My predecessor had obtained psychedelic drugs from him, but luckily I didn't become addicted to drugs.

Although he is still unable to use the Xuantian Wujin Palm, he can still protect himself with the true energy he possesses at this time.

There is no way he could set up a banquet at Hongmen. With just one order, all the swordsmen and axemen would go into battle.

Even if that were the case, Alphonse was sure to escape.

Besides, isn't there Mia here? She is a knight with level three or higher fighting spirit.

Speaking of this, Alphonse still wanted to complain, but Mia had never been willing to explain what state she had reached.

The next morning.

Alphonse climbed into the carriage bearing the crest of House Tartarus.

The family emblem was decided by the old baron, with a sky blue background and two wheat ears holding a sickle on the left and right.

The meaning is to let the descendants of the family not forget their origins and remember that the Tartarus family was born as farmers.

It's a pity that I didn't add a hammer.

The carriage is dark red in color, with golden patterns decorating the doors and windows. The curtains are made of red silk satin, and the windows on both sides of the carriage are decorated with black feathers.

The carriage is not big, just a row of seats that look like European-style long sofas, and the seat cushions are wrapped in brown leather.

It's not too luxurious, but it has a somewhat refined and elegant taste.

Such a carriage was not suitable for carrying goods, but two horses were used to pull it.

The old baron has always disliked extravagance and waste, and this carriage was left over from the past lord.

In addition to Mia and the coachman, Captain Simon also sent his apprentice Djeru and a soldier to escort him.

Compared with the training, the two soldiers changed their equipment.

A domed helmet made of fine iron, with chain armor hanging down from the rim to protect the ears and back of the head. The leather armor is also covered with a layer of chain armor that can cover the waist below, and an embroidered tower is placed on the outside. A vest with the Altaros family crest.

Although they had swords on their waists and were mounted on horses, the appearance of the two of them did not look very majestic, and they were far inferior to the royal messengers they had seen a few days ago.

Mia didn't want to follow Alphonse to a gathering among nobles, but for the safety of Alphonse, the new lord, Lady Mary begged again and had to go.

The journey is quite long, even as far as Lane City.

Of course, you have to dress more formally when going to a banquet. I have already ordered two sets of formal attires, and I don’t even bother to wear them. I only wear them when attending parties.

One set is red and the other is black. Alphonse chose the black one.

The long black velvet jacket is embroidered with exquisite silver patterns from the shoulders to the waist, extending smoothly to the knees. The cuffs have similar patterns, which are detailed and complicated, injecting more sophistication into the overall look. The coat does not need to be buttoned, the inside is a silver-grey vest, and a white silk scarf is worn around the neck, hanging just down to the chest.

Pair with beige pants and long riding boots.

After all, it was a custom-made dress from the city. It was pretty good and not ugly.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Alphonse closed the door tightly and lit the incense burner.

Don’t waste your time traveling long distances, you can just use it to practice your internal strength.

The smoke of the refining incense is inherently light, so even in a small space, it will not be smoked.

Bumps on the road are unavoidable. The carriages in the other world are not designed to absorb shocks, but they will not affect Alphonse's sitting skills.

It wasn't until night fell that they arrived in front of the Earl's Mansion.

Alphonse stopped his luck and got out of the carriage.

Glancing around.

Also a castle, Count Mujik's mansion is much grander.

There is also a bust of a unicorn decorated above the towering door, as if it is about to rush out at any time.

The spacious courtyard is filled with all kinds of gorgeous carriages.

Listening to the noise in the castle, it seems that the party has already begun.

The butler came forward with his attendants.

Mia and the two soldiers were not allowed to attend the gathering of noble young ladies. The attendants would lead Mia to the side hall for dinner.

After all, knighthood can be considered a title of nobility.

The soldiers did not receive such good treatment. They could only wait by the carriage and wait for the attendants to bring food.

Alphonse followed the butler to the banquet hall.

The castle was brightly lit, and in the banquet hall, the long tables on both sides were filled with steaming cooked food, including roast turkey, bacon, melons and fruits.

Sweet strings played softly, and attendants walked among the crowd carrying wine and glasses.

This is the most popular banquet method in the royal capital nowadays.

But the social nature of dinners among nobles is far greater than enjoying dinner.

The aristocratic young masters and ladies each have their own small circle. They gather together and talk loudly while holding goblets. The difference is only in the tone of voice. The ladies always have to be more reserved. Even if they laugh, they must do it elegantly with a feather fan. Occlusion.

"Hey, I heard that Lord Feren invited that country bumpkin Alphonse over again?" A noble young man swayed the wine glass in his hand and asked the people around him.

"That seems to be the case. It is said that Alphonse and Miss Monica have broken off their engagement. I really don't know what he thinks."

"That's why he is called a fool. As long as he has some sense, he will make a decisive choice. The Cold Wind Territory is so poor, but he actually let go of such a good opportunity. If he becomes the son-in-law of Baron Sweetwood, You won’t have to worry about it for the rest of your life.”

"It's a pity that Mr. Phelan didn't invite Miss Monica to the dinner this time. Otherwise, we can still try to see if we can seduce her heartstrings."

Several young aristocratic men all laughed. They had not yet inherited the title, and the most common topics of conversation were women and various romantic affairs.

Their words were heard by Faerun, who was surrounded by several noble ladies.

Smiling and apologizing to the noble girls around him, Feren stepped forward holding the goblet.

"Alphonse has now inherited the title and is a level above us. You must give him the respect he deserves and stop speaking ill of him behind his back."

"So what if he hears it! He used to like to show off. Even though everyone doesn't like him, he still wants to force himself on him!" A young nobleman said unhappily.
