Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Palace Attendant...

This awkward term for elves made Yiga confused for a moment. According to the elves' classification of subordinates, there are probably several definitions of family servants.

The first is the most marginalized servant. Needless to say, they are all chores and it is difficult to truly integrate into the family system. When they get older, a severance payment will be regarded as nothing.

Secondly, there are the retinues who are in the intermediate stage. This group of people have already been able to initially participate in the family's business. When the family provides financial subsidies, they must also respond to armed recruitment.

There are a lot of people, which is somewhat similar to the relationship between landlords and farmers. There is always a period of time every year when they have to provide services to the owner's family.

The attendant means that he has the status second only to the members in the family, and is the core member who serves the family owner and heirs personally.

Being a squire means loyalty, and the family will give you a lot of power in return.

As for the attendants of the dragon tamer family, according to what Yiga learned, the first type is the ruling group composed of dragon princes, which is a manifestation of a group of families uniting to be loyal to the master.

These people's status in the kingdom is not low, but their relationship with the monarch is definitely different. People from certain big families are naturally more valued by the prince.

The second category is some children who have been selected to the palace since childhood. As palace attendants trained to be absolutely loyal, their status in the kingdom may not be as high as that of the Dragon Prince, but their close relationship with the monarch has determined that their words must be Be taken seriously.

As for a palace attendant who has served the dragon tamer family for more than seven hundred years, it is difficult for Yiga to imagine how respected Adka is. I am afraid that this stubborn old man will be more useful if he walks around the military base than if the mayor comes in person. …

Adela raised her eyebrows and said with a hint of sarcasm,

"Could it be that after I revealed my true identity, you, a boy who wants to be an honorary noble, were afraid? I was so blind that I went back to the palace to arrange the admission procedures for you."

"No, no, just a little surprised..." Yiga shook his head. All this can explain why her mother's tailor shop has never been affected by the competitive market environment. Some elves even hired her as a teacher to teach their daughters. needlework skills.

With a customer with a monstrous background, no one would deliberately seek trouble, or even try to find opportunities for contact and common topics.

"Then Mr. Adela, um... Although it is very rude to say this, why would you provide help to an unrelated human being."

"Help...hehe." Adela laughed like a self-mockery and said to the puzzled human kid,

"Don't overestimate the actions of the palace attendants. I have already left the Dragon Palace and am now just an idle employee receiving an annual salary.

As for why we are providing help..."

"The look in your eyes that showed you wanted to be honored was very similar to that of an Excellency I know, very similar..."

Iga was just about to ask who this gentleman was, who had provided him with so much help with just a few words and looks, but as Adela impatiently hit his shoulder with a wooden stick, he realized that it was the old man who did not want to continue discussing this topic. .

"You are now a formal officer in Caledor. Your position is far more important than mine. Focus on what should be important, not on irrelevant things."

Yiga, who scratched his head and smiled honestly, quickly said yes, but he still couldn't restrain the thought of asking the old man. This was the first time that the distant dragon palace was so close, and a respected palace attendant was standing in front of him alive. .

Seeing the bacon in Yiga's hand, Adela knew that this kid must have just returned from training and hadn't had dinner yet. The wooden stick pointed at a restaurant not far away.

"Let's go. If the soldiers don't have enough to eat, how can we talk about revitalizing the cause of Kaleda?"

After putting away the bacon, Yiga followed Adela to the restaurant. In the not-so-wide space, there were some elves scattered here and there, either drinking and talking, or looking serious and showing no interest in the exquisite food in front of them. , discuss some things seriously.

But after Adela arrived, everyone present was attracted to her. Those guests who drank some wine and had slightly flushed faces and kept serious faces immediately stood up and faced the elders at the gate, as if leading a review, transforming the harmonious dining atmosphere into the rigor of a military camp.

Adela, who had seen this kind of scene many times, waved her hand to show that she didn't need to pay attention to him, and she would eat when she needed to eat and drink when she needed to drink.

Arriving at a wooden table, the receptionist was not a human waitress, but the owner of the restaurant.

The older elf boss greeted Adela respectfully and paid no attention to the human next to him.

"Your Excellency Adela, I wonder if it is the palace..."

"I have left the court, Malelis."

The forced interruption did not disturb the boss's humble attitude.

"But you are still a war hero, a heroic squire who accompanied the two princes on the battlefield."

Yiga, who understood, was immediately dumbfounded. This sturdy old man was actually a war hero? Can he be able to hold a spear with his skinny appearance?

"But war heroes also need to eat. Do you mean that by entering your restaurant, you are asking me to eat my past honors now?"

"Yes, you need something."

A menu was presented to Adela with both hands by the boss. Depending on the posture, if the old man wanted to eat it all, he might be able to let the chef present it all in a short time.

"Here are some common dishes from Kaled. I don't like the hot taste of Lustria. I never have."

"Yes."

While waiting for the dishes, Yiga was thinking in his mind that his reputation as an officer seemed to be completely different from that of the old man in front of him.

But that's okay, the greater Adela's energy, the more help it can provide.

I originally thought that the old man could help find a few Vaal priest assistants at most, but with the current situation, maybe the Vaal priest was not just an illusion.

When the wine was served, Yiga did not dare to have any objections to the wine in the jug and carefully poured a glass for the old man.

But when Adela pushed away impatiently and said that she was pouring the wine alone, the officer's flattery failed.

"If you are a dog that tends to follow the crowd, we will cut off contact tonight. What I like is a soul that is not afraid of hardships for the goal, not a weakling who chooses to surrender when he sees authority."

Yiga, who originally smiled awkwardly at being rejected, now his expression became colder. He sat back down, put his hands in front of him, nodded and said,

"I am not a person who follows the trend, but the current environment requires me to show such an attitude."

Adela knew what a human boy meant, and it was an indisputable fact that Asul were one level above humans in Caledor.

Except for the unpredictable mayor, most people will put on disguises and use flattering methods to achieve their goals when seeking benefits.

The already grumpy old man, after filling the glass with wine, chose to pour it on the human boy's face and angrily said,

"But now you are a soldier. The dragon lord does not need a snobbery dog. Only by showing the attitude you should have can you be worthy of the military uniform!" (End of Chapter)
