my age of magic

Chapter 1527 77. His Majesty Summons
The banquet held in the palace gradually came to an end amidst the noise, Ying Li dragged me from slipping into a garden outside the hall.

This garden is built on a concave platform on the mountain wall, as if a platform was carved out of the mountain wall halfway up the mountain. The garden is full of green vines, including ivy, grape vines, and creepers. The stone wall is full of thick greenery.

There are almost no people here. Two guards from the palace are guarding the gate of the garden. Two lazy maids are hiding in the garden. When they saw our group breaking in suddenly, their faces turned pale with fright, and they didn't even bother to salute us from the side door. ran away.

I took two steps forward and looked down with my hands on the fence. From here I could see the mountains on the west side of the crater of Mount Majaro. A round of red sun was gradually disappearing in the mountains. The shadow of the city spread from the foot of the mountain on the west side to the east side with the momentum of galloping horses. This black and white shadow dividing line was like a curtain, pulling the imperial capital city into dusk.

I hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said to Yingli: "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to confess this matter to you before, in fact, I..."

Before I could finish my sentence, Yingli was interrupted: "The widow of the Marquess of Colin Babington, I know her, the matter between you and Duke Ryan caused a lot of trouble, and the whole empire was talking about you at that time , I certainly don't know."

Ying Li turned around and looked at me and said, "Of course I mind, but I don't think her existence will affect the relationship between us, am I right? Look into my eyes..."

"what?"

Ying Li suddenly took a step forward, stretched out his hands from my left and right ribs and behind my back, hugged me tightly, and rested his chin on my shoulders.

I put my arms around her slender waist, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the mountain wall golden from behind her. She and I stood on this ivy-covered terrace and embraced each other quietly. A team of Gryphons The knights passed in front of us, and the leading Gripen Knight couldn't help but blow a loud whistle when he saw the scene on the garden alcove.

When Ying Li and I came out of the hidden garden, we happened to see Ernestine standing in the courtyard holding Zach's arm and chatting with a group of young nobles. Zach saw us first and then asked I waved and pulled Ernestine to say hello to the friends around me, then squeezed out the crowd and walked towards us.

The recent war on the plane of Hierro ended. The Duke of Samoyed sent several Constructed Knights to follow Zach into the depths of the desert in Salta Province, and wiped out several crazy sand bandits. Around the Harvest Festival, Zack and Ernestine seemed to have nothing else to do, and went to the imperial capital to participate in the harvest celebration in the imperial capital. It could be seen that the two of them were very leisurely during the post-war period.

Many lords in the banquet hall want to strengthen you, the heir of Dulva Province, the upstart in the eyes of His Majesty Charles. They set their sights on Zach from time to time, trying to find time to chat with Zach. Seeing Zach After leaving the group of friends around me, someone greeted me immediately, only to be accused and rejected by Zach in a low voice, and they didn't stop until the two of them came in front of me and Yingli.

Zach stretched out his hand and punched me on the shoulder, and said to me kindly: "Jijia, I heard that you went to Haiyuan City of the Jana Sea Clan. I thought I couldn't see you at the Harvest Festival, but I didn't expect You came back from Haiyuan City so soon, how is your trip to Janna going?"

"Fortunately, have you finished dealing with the matter on the plane of Hierro?" I asked Zach, whose skin was a little green.

"The Knights returned to Dulva to recuperate, and they will be free until next spring." Zach laughed and seemed to be in a good mood after speaking.

"What are your plans for the near future?" I asked Ernestine, many things can be decided by the lady in front of me.

"The plan... I'm thinking about it when the Constructed Knights are finished. Maybe they will return to the Hierro plane and extend the battle line to the hot sand dam in the swamp sea. This time, it's best to drive the Nibru Spiderman into the Great Rift Valley." Go." Ernestine thought for a moment and said to me.

I think she told me this news because she wanted to know if I was interested in participating. After all, the southern forest of the Black Forest is in the hands of the Ancient War Tree Clan. If the legion wanted to enter the Marsh Sea, they had to obtain a pass from the Ancient War Tree Clan.

At this time, His Majesty Charles stood on the high platform in the open-air garden in front of the palace, and stretched out his hand to make an invitation to the Queen. The Queen put one hand in the palm of His Majesty Charles, and lifted the hem of the court dress with the other hand, to Charles. His Majesty saluted, and then walked down the steps with His Majesty Charles, onto the dance floor.

The royal band played soothing music, and His Majesty Charles danced on the dance floor with his arms around the Queen. All the princes, ministers, newly promoted dignitaries, and relatives of the royal family gathered around the dance floor to enjoy the first dance of His Majesty Charles and the Queen. Your Majesty Charles He is the kind of person with a particularly burly figure. Although his steps are not so light on the dance floor, there is a sense of killing on the battlefield in his steps. It can be seen that His Majesty Charles is also a strong man who has come down from the battlefield.
In contrast, the queen's dance steps are a little more rigid, and her delicate face has no expression. She straightens her waist, and every step she takes is just right. She always has an aristocratic demeanor.

The opening song of the ball was very short. After His Majesty Charles and the Queen only had a few laps on the dance floor, the music stopped for a while. His Majesty Charles stopped and waved to the surrounding crowd. Suddenly, a large group of noble lords came down with their female companions. On the dance floor, the music sounded again.

I was walking around on the dance floor with Ying Li in my arms. When I turned to the edge of the dance floor, I happened to see a handsome young nobleman inviting Le Die on the edge of the dance floor, but Le Die’s face had the arrogance of an elf. Give the young nobleman a good look, and the two of them also behaved very coldly when they talked.

The young nobleman bowed and stretched out his hand, but Le Die actually turned around and left, ran to the rest area and sat down, making the young nobleman stand there in embarrassment.

Ying Li smiled and asked me: "Would you like to try inviting me, I don't think she doesn't want to dance."

I quickly shook my head and said, "I don't want to be rejected in front of so many people, it's too embarrassing."

The music of this dance stopped, and I dragged Yingli to the edge of the dance floor. Just as I was about to drag Helena down the dance floor, I saw Zach coming over and smiling at Yingli and me. He extended an invitation to Yingli in a gentlemanly manner, and Yingli looked up at me, seeing that I had no objection, he readily agreed to Zach's invitation.

At this time, Ernestine stood in front of me with her arms folded. She was wearing a black-purple evening dress and long skirt. Her toned figure was very well-proportioned due to her height of nearly 1.9 meters, especially her long legs under the long skirt. Looming, I didn't expect Ernestine to have such a feminine side. I smiled and nodded at her, and took Helena's hand to walk in front of her, but she stretched out her hand to stop her.

Just when I looked at her in surprise, she brutally dragged me into the dance floor, leaving Helena standing there with a look of astonishment, and at this moment the music sounded...

Ernestine stood in front of me, a head taller than me. I had to look up to meet her eyes. I put my arms around her fat-free waist. Every time I took a step, I could feel the tenderness near the vest line of her waist. Muscles are constantly pulsating. This feeling is not very good, but Ernestine looks very proud. When I looked up, I just saw the high and protruding chest of her evening dress, and the scar that looked a little shocking. The center of the sternum extends down into the depth of the V of the evening dress, and the fine needle holes on the scar are still my handiwork.

I looked up just enough to meet her gaze, and Ernestine smiled smugly at me.

Ernestine smelled like she had walked off the battlefield, which was condensed with the blood of the enemy. Whether it was her eyes or the way she walked, she looked calm. She stared at me and asked, "Do you want to fight with me?" Let's cross the Marsh Sea together to see the Rift Valley behind Steamwheedle Dam."

I am still very curious about the land south of the Black Forest on the plane of Yero. Across the Swamp Sea is the Great Rift Valley, the real birthplace of the Ancient Tree Clan. Now there has been established the base camp of the Nebru tribe, and there is also the Great Rift Valley opposite the land. The sea of ​​spores, it can be said that the Black Forest is only a part of the Hierro plane, and there is still a large area of ​​the Hierro plane that is completely unknown to us.

Upon hearing Ernestine's invitation, I agreed, "Of course, but that will have to wait until I return from the wild swamp in Strange Rock City."

Ernestine looked at me in surprise and asked, "Are you going to Strange Rock City?"

I nodded and said, "Yes! I've been planning for a long time. I plan to go to the wild swamp south of Qiyan City this winter."

Hearing what I said, Ernestine stared at me seriously and said to me: "If you need help, don't forget me and Zack, the Constructed Knights of Durva Province need to return to their territory and lead the herdsmen We went into the valley to escape the snowstorm and look for the winter meadows, and the Knights would not be able to reorganize until at least spring, so Zack and I were free before that.”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look for Zach on the dance floor, and Zach just passed us with Yingli.

I said to Ernestine, "The situation on the other side of the wild swamp is a bit complicated. It is the territory of the Lizard tribe."

"The lizard man... so what?" Ernestine's tone seemed relaxed.

In fact, as far as I know, the lizard man called the Jungle Hunter in the wild swamp is not easy. If it was so easy to deal with, the leader of the Aix Army in Strange Rock City would have included the wild swamp south of Strange Rock City into Green The map of the empire.

I said: "We went to the wild swamp to find an ancient ruin hidden in the depths of the dense forest. There are countless lizard tribes nearby. In addition, there are also a group of flying dragons living in the jungle."

Ernestine asked me, "Do you want to hunt dragons over there?"

I curled my lips and asked Ernestine, "Do you think I would do such a dangerous thing?"

Ernestine nodded affirmatively...

The dance ended quickly in the chat. I saluted Ernestine very politely, and then walked out of the dance floor with her, and met Ying Li, who was pretty and blushing outside the dance floor. After dancing two consecutive dances, Yingli was a little out of breath, with a little sweat on her forehead, so I dragged her to where Ledie was. Helena sat beside Ledie and waved to us.

Several young nobles surrounded Zach and Ounes. It seemed that they were very popular among the young nobles in the imperial capital. After all, the two of them carried the aura of victory in the war of planes, and they also had illustrious military exploits. All the nobles in the imperial capital knew that Zach and Ernestine led the Constructed Knights to kill the Nebulu spiders thousands of miles away on the Hierro plane.

A handsome young nobleman extended an invitation gesture to Ernestine, Ernestine extended his hand generously, and the two walked onto the dance floor talking and laughing when the music sounded again, and Zach was unwilling Showing weakness, he pulled an aristocratic lady into the dance floor.

Yingli and I walked to the rest area, ready to dance with Helena, when a court attendant came over, he was wearing a double-breasted robe, walking towards Yingli and me at a leisurely pace , He set his eyes on me, walked in front of Yingli, saluted Princess Yingli respectfully, and then said to me: "Marquis Jijia, Your Majesty has summoned you! Please follow me."

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Charles would summon me at the ball. I looked at Ying Li with some surprise, then nodded to the court attendant and said, "Okay, please lead the way."

Seeing that I was going to see His Majesty Charles, Ying Li also wanted to go with me. The court attendant said to Ying Li and Le Die, "Princess Ying Li, Princess Le Die, the Queen invites you two to go over..."

So I followed the court attendant through the crowds, out of the lively dance hall, through a long corridor, and into a magnificent palace.

The four walls of this palace are lit with bright magic wall lamps, and there is a palace guard standing every few meters in the palace. The court guard led me to stop in front of a round arched gate, which appeared in the morning The swordsman in His Majesty Charles' carriage sat on the gorgeous chair at the door and closed his eyes to rest. When he saw me coming, he just glanced at me casually, and then closed his eyes again.

The court attendant stood respectfully in front of the arched door and said through the door, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jijia is waiting at the door."

"Let him in." A loud voice came from the room.

When the court attendant heard this, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the arch in front of him, indicating that I could go in.

Walking into this room, the first thing that catches the eye is a complete Green map hanging on the wall. This map covers the entire opposite wall. His Majesty Charles is standing in front of this map at this time, and there is still a display in the room. Several sand tables, he is holding the edge of a sand table with both hands, and is looking at the sand table intently
