The mage arrives

Xiona raised her head and met Gordon's gaze.Knowing that her brother had discovered her, she couldn't help shrinking her head.The little girl came to Gaoyan from Clear Water City with a convoy of baggage, and she didn't tell Gordon about this. She didn't know how her brother would react when he saw her coming.

After the news of the orc invasion to the south spread, even Clear Water City, far away from the front line, became panicked.Many nobles packed their luggage and sent their children away from Yuanshuang Province to avoid the war.And those foreign nobles who came to the Northland to travel on the day of the blessing of the Dragon God and wanted to enjoy the ice and snow scenery left without hesitation.

Xiona knew that her brother loved her very much.She was afraid that one day she would receive news from the front that her brother had asked her to leave Clear Water City with her servants.She is not a charming noble lady, she is a warrior who can use a sword and kill enemies.She didn't want her brother to fight alone, without even a relative by his side.

What's more, every time she walked through the corridor on the second floor of the mansion and saw the portraits of her father and mother, her mood was always difficult to calm down.

The orcs attacked again, and the blood feud of relatives was still there, she could not remain indifferent.

Seeing his sister's dodging eyes, Gordon smiled helplessly, and then waved to her.He knew Xiona's character and temper, and he knew why she came to Gaoyan City.But Gordon is not the kind of strict brother who is overly protective. Although he doesn't want Xiona to be in danger, since he is here, he will come.

After all, Xiona is his lovely sister and an excellent fighter.

The two siblings seem to have a tacit understanding, and Xiona and her brother are far away from each other.Instantly understood the meaning of the helpless smile on the other side.

"Brother is the best!" Xiona also waved to Gordon, the ponytail on her head was jumping happily.

Seeing his sister smiling happily, Gordon's mood seemed to brighten a lot.He walked easily to his seat.Greeted Count Julian who was sitting beside him: "Long time no see, Lord City Master."

"Less than half a month, not too long." Earl Julian patted Gordon on the shoulder, "But it's still nice to meet you, kid."

As soon as Gordon took his seat, Count Julian took out a ten-centimeter-long square metal box from his arms and handed it over: "This is what my son-in-law wants to hand over to you."

"Don?" Gordon took the box.Open it, and found that there are several magic scrolls exuding powerful energy fluctuations, as well as some advanced potions.What's in this little box.At least worth more than fifteen hundred gold coins.

"That guy is really generous." Gordon laughed.

"Yeah, I think he treats you as a friend better than his own wife..." Earl Julian seemed to be quite dissatisfied with his son-in-law's generous hand.He glanced at Gordon suspiciously.Then he said, "You two...couldn't be that kind of relationship...otherwise, how could he treat you so well?"

"Please don't think about it. Lord Earl!" Gordon retorted righteously, "I am only interested in beautiful women. If the scope is expanded, it is only interested in beautiful women."

"Just kidding." It seemed that the earl was very proud of being able to arouse such a big reaction from the usually calm Gordon.With a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, he continued: "After hearing the news that the orcs invaded and had crossed the Anduin Great Wall, Dorne immediately wanted to leave for High Rock City. Who knew that the Lannister family knew that kid very well. He has a temper and acts extremely quickly. He directly sent three seven-ring mages to send him to Clearwater City, and arrested him. The elders of the Lannister family can allow Don to mess around outside. But it is absolutely impossible to expose him to cruel and bloody events. He is one of the most outstanding young men of this generation of the Lannister family. The Lannister family cannot allow a future archmage to fall on the battlefield ahead of schedule."

As Dorn often complained to Gordon, he was tightly controlled by his family, lacked freedom, and often couldn't help himself.However, Gordon feels that if there is such a powerful family behind him, losing a little freedom is acceptable.

While the two were chatting, the big names who participated in the celebration meeting—— Grand Duke Rob Antello, Count Resor Loredo, Lord of High Rock, Count Renalin, Commander of the Redstone Legion, Exxon, Commander of the Winter Claw Legion The earl, and a group of other nobles, large and small, all arrived in turn.

In addition, Gordon also saw an acquaintance: Knight Durlington.

This beautiful man from the Eisenstein family dressed up a lot today. His long, flowing silver hair was smeared with high-grade pomade, making the whole hair look smooth and smooth.He specially put on the luxurious ceremonial armor today. The silver background color combined with the complicated and beautiful golden patterns is very eye-catching.

Undoubtedly, among the many men on the rostrum, Durlington was the most popular among the female audience below.

call out……

When the time came, a signal arrow screamed and flew into the sky, marking the official start of the celebration ceremony.

The military band and the church choir performed "Platinum Battle Hymn" resounding through the square.This is a song composed by the founding emperor Freyton himself, and must be played on every important occasion.

Amidst the majestic and tragic singing, troops walked across the square.

He is eloquent and is said to have presided over more than a hundred palace banquets. He talked endlessly about the long history and brilliant achievements of each army.

Gordon wasn't interested in this kind of nonsense that "there is such and such a unit coming to the podium, what happened to them in such and such a year".Sitting in the seat is boring.On the contrary, the Knight of Dellington was particularly energetic today, as if he wanted to show his best side.

Majestic queues, neat steps, distinctive armor, sharp weapons...

Coupled with the exciting melody and passionate lyrics, although this scene cannot touch Gordon, it is still very appealing to the common people.

These troops participating in the celebration were all carefully selected by the Grand Duke and other high-level officials. They had won large or small victories in the skirmishes with the orcs before. , or the noble private army that has never been on the battlefield is completely different.

What made the civilians even more excited was that after these troops walked past the rostrum, someone specially assigned the trophies they had obtained—orc heads, weapons and armor, flags, and the like—on the exhibition stand.

Those ugly and ferocious heads of alien races and objects exuding the smell of blood stimulated the nerves of the people even more.

They cheered, they roared, they burst into tears, they chanted the names of the Dragon God and the Emperor of the Empire.

People who have been suppressed for a long time due to the unfavorable battle situation, now seeing all this displayed in front of them, seem to see the hope of victory.

In any case, judging from the reactions of these people, the effect of this celebration was pretty good.

The grand finale is always arranged last.When the majestic white eagle flag of the Winter Claw Legion fluttered in the square, the atmosphere reached its climax.

Riding tall horses and wearing refined full-body plate armor, the vanguard cavalry of the Winter Claw Legion slowly passed through the Platinum Square in an orderly formation.The cavalry wore full-face helmets. Although only a pair of eyes were exposed, it showed the mystery and murderousness of the elite in the army.

Dellington smiled and stood up from his seat, beckoning to his subordinates.

The cavalry suddenly leveled their raised lances, and then neatly played a gun flower in response to their commander.

The Winter Claw Cavalry Regiment played this move very beautifully, and won bursts of warm cheers.Derington, in particular, was almost overwhelmed by the screams of the women.

However, Xiona just folded her arms around her chest and stared coldly at the energetic Delington on the stage.

She knew that handsome and extraordinary knight, who almost attracted the attention of all women, was the enemy who once united Earl Thompson against her brother.She also learned from her friend Falia that this seemingly elegant and perfect knight has a heart that is not very upright.

At this moment, Xiona heard a commotion among the cheers behind her.She turned her head to look over, and found that it was a few tall and strong soldiers of the Winter Claw Legion, who pushed and beat the crowd away, and then escorted a beautiful woman in a long purple dress to the front .

"Miss Evelyn, please. We will definitely protect you from the harassment of those untouchables, so you can watch this conference with peace of mind." said the man in mage robes with slanted eyebrows.

"Yankee, today you have a heart, and I will say something nice to my brother. After defeating the orcs this time, you will be able to join our Eisenstein family."

"Thank you so much, Miss Ephraim!" said Battle Mage Yankee.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I want to see more of my younger brother's heroic appearance. The men of our Eisenstein family are just different. It's a pity, why didn't the organizer of the celebration ceremony build a special stand for us nobles? Being around these stinky, filthy untouchables really affects the mood."

The surrounding people were angry when they heard Ephraim's words, but they didn't dare to say anything when they saw the strong soldiers protecting her.

Xiona snorted coldly: "Sure enough, the members of the Eisenstein family are all virtuous."

"Chick, what are you talking about?" Yankee looked at Xiona.

He originally wanted to take action to teach this rude woman a lesson, and behave in front of Ephraim, but because he suffered a disadvantage from Gordon the day before yesterday, he was a little more cautious this time.

He saw a noble family crest embroidered on Xiona's leather armor, and she was carrying two magic long swords that exuded strong energy fluctuations. The temperament of her whole person was by no means comparable to that of ordinary women in the adventure group.

So Yankee hesitated again. (To be continued..)
