Lord of Lowland

Chapter 36 Returning to the Royal Capital
When he was in Huolingbao, Cecil re-sold the unused blood bottles. This time the action was so intense that he didn’t even have the chance to use these slow-recovery blood bottles. With 8 gold coins left, it was really a loss-making business, but there was nothing they could do, neither of them had much money left.

After walking for more than two months, the two finally saw the gate of the royal capital, and they entered the south gate of the royal city side by side. After entering the city gate, Anne was going to see her teacher Antonio at the Mage Guild, while Cecil Then go to Dawn Temple to learn skills.The two were separated from each other. Cecil had been with Anne for the past four or five months, and when they were separated occasionally, they didn't feel quite used to it.Cecil himself couldn't laugh or cry at this feeling.

Cecil came to the Temple of Dawn along the way, and the mentors of the temple were all taken aback.Half a year ago, Cecil was still a level 1 trash. In just half a year, he could become a level 5 paladin. This speed can be said to be quite astonishing.All the paladin mentors looked around at Cecil like a monster, trying to find out the secret of his rapid growth from him.

If these mentors knew that Cecil's real strength was actually far more than level 50, they might all faint. It was probably something that the temple had never experienced before a paladin could grow to such a state within half a year.

Cecil came to pray in front of the statue. As soon as the system prompted, Cecil learned the four skills that should be learned at level [-] and level [-].

System prompt: Congratulations on learning the "Halo of Haste"

System prompt: Congratulations on learning "Eternal Light"

System prompt: Congratulations on learning the "Endurance Aura"

System prompt: Congratulations on learning the "Brilliant Hammer"

Eternal Light: Actively launches a holy fire attack. The attack power is positively related to your strength attribute.It will cause a temporary decrease in the opponent's attack defense. The degree of decrease is positively related to the mental attribute. The CD time is 15 seconds and can be reduced as the proficiency increases.

Hammer of Brilliance: Send out a powerful attack, which is related to the user's strength and spiritual attributes. It is powerful and has a CD time of 30 seconds.

Haste Aura: Increases the Paladin's movement speed by 15%, consumes 10 mana per second after opening, and affects a range of 30 meters.

Endurance aura: Restores the Paladin's physical strength by 2 points per second. When turned on, it consumes 10 mana points per second and affects a range of 30 meters.

Since receiving Shawshak's inheritance, each of Cecil's skills can be increased by 50%. The skills of Hammer of Glory and Light of Eternity are vague, only related to attributes, not the same as the previous ones. Several skills are similarly described intuitively, but Cecil is actually very familiar with these skills, because he was also a level 59 Paladin user before entering this game world.

According to my memory, these two skills have their own advantages and disadvantages. The damage of the immortal light is not high, the important thing is the incidental damage, and the hammer of glory is an active skill with extremely high attack power. CD and this skill has no proficiency to know that he is a powerful skill so the CD cannot be shortened.

As for the two aura skills, Cecil continues to have the aura of haste. With this aura, Cecil's movement speed can be increased by 22.5%. Such a terrifying movement speed is almost unmatched by anyone before the holy rank.As for the endurance halo, it is not commonly used, because Cecil has always had sufficient physical strength as a paladin.But under the blessing of Shawshak's inheritance, it becomes 3 points of physical strength recovered every second.

After learning the skills, Cecil went to pay his respects to Priest Alonso. By the way, he checked to see if the priest had the condition of his master Collins. Alonso expressed his satisfaction with Cecil's recent growth and said that Collins had gone out You You himself didn't know any news about him.Cecil felt sad, since the great priest didn't have any news about his mentor, it seems that he has already carried out his own practice, and he will never appear in people's sight unless he breaks through to the holy rank.

Except for the Dawn Temple, Cecil finally returned to his home. As soon as he arrived at the door, the old housekeeper Akat and the maid Ashan had already greeted him. Cecil had not come back for four months after going out. In the eyes of the old housekeeper, Here, his young master has grown up under his watch since he was a child. He has never been so far away from him. This time he has been away from home for four months, and he is extremely worried. In addition, Acat reported to Cecil that he came back a few days ago. Sanders has come to live in his own home and has been going to the Earth Temple to study basically every day for the past two days.A picture of cheering up.

After eating the meal cooked by Ashan, it was already past noon. Cecil remembered that he had not reported the news of his return to Earl Kasikud, so he set off to the Earl's Mansion. The Earl had just had lunch and received him with interest. After meeting Cecil, the Earl also specifically asked about Anne's inheritance assessment. The Earl also knew something about this matter. Cecil did not want Sandro's affairs to be exposed. After all, it was somewhat taboo to cooperate with a necromancer. , so he gave the count a few perfunctory words, but the count didn't pay much attention.

The earl once again expressed his gratitude to Cecil. The body of the legendary hero, Marquis Kasikund, had been buried in the most honorable part of the cemetery of the earl's family in the royal capital. The earl expressed his gratitude to Cecil once again. He expressed his apology, because this time Cecil did make great contributions, but he could not get the reward of the title. In the end, the earl could only present Cecil with a manor from his own territory. Cecil was originally the only A knight lord of a manor, and now the earl has given him another one, which is equivalent to doubling the territory.

Cecil expressed his thanks to the earl. In fact, he really wanted to ask the earl about the legendary assassin who killed Henry in Wharton, but Cecil also understood the reason why curiosity killed the cat. He knew too much Time was not a good thing, he finally restrained his curiosity, and just as Cecil was about to leave, the count told him that his daughter Ophelina had something to ask him for help.

Cecil was stunned for a moment. He was a little surprised that Ophelina asked him for help. He really didn't know what the eldest lady of the earl wanted from him.After leaving the earl's room, Cecil came to the back garden of the earl's mansion, where the earl's miss, Ophelina, was waiting for him in the flower porch of the back garden.

Ophelia was wearing an apricot dress today with light cyan lace and long golden hair.I was very happy to see Cecil coming and immediately let him sit at the small table in the garden.
"Cecile, it's great that you're here. I have something to ask you for." Ofilina said happily.

"I wonder what the Countess wants from me?" Cecil replied.

Ofelina stroked her hair, looking very charming, and said with a smile: "I'm going to attend a banquet tonight. The scale of this banquet is relatively large, so I need a retinue knight. Among my father's retinue knights, almost There are very few people my age. So I want to take you there."

Cecil was obviously a little surprised when he heard this. The so-called retinue of knights sounds nice, but in fact they are just standing guard, accompanying the mistress to the banquet, protecting the master from the side, and then sending the master back. .Ordinarily, there is nothing wrong with this matter. In terms of ownership, Cecil is indeed a knight belonging to Count Cassicud. Since the Countess has such a request, Cecil should comply.

However, the soul in Cecil's body is a modern person after all, and he is actually disgusted with this kind of servile slavery from the bottom of his heart. When he heard Ophelina's words like this, his face immediately showed displeasure look.

Ofelina noticed the change in Cecil's expression, but she obviously didn't understand why Cecil was unhappy or even resisted this matter. In her opinion, this matter did not compromise Cecil's dignity. On the contrary, being able to participate in such high-society activities is actually a high recognition of the master for the followers, especially this scene tonight.So when she saw Cecil's unhappy expression, Ofelina was very puzzled.

Cecil noticed Ophelia's puzzled expression, and Cecil was also helpless. He knew that he and the eldest lady once again had different views on one thing. From the moment he met the eldest lady, Cecil had already had several such disagreements with the eldest lady.

In fact, we can’t say who is wrong, it’s just that the two sides have different perspectives on things. Cecil always looks at things from an emotional point of view, while Ofelina is more calm and always looks at things from a rational point of view. this matter.In fact, both sides are reasonable, but the contradictions brought about by the collision of these two worldviews make Cecil feel very uncomfortable.

Cecil actually has a good impression of this beautiful, generous, lively and smart woman, but because of this conceptual contradiction, he has had a lot of opinions on this woman several times. Undoubtedly, although this woman is extremely smart, she doesn't understand those inferiors. Therefore, it was in this situation that Cecil inexplicably hurt his sensitive self-esteem.

However, Cecil's slander belongs to his slander, but there is no reason to reject Ou Feilina's proposal. In terms of reason and law, Ou Feilina has the right to ask Cecil to do so, and even Ou Feilina has the right to do so. Thinking that there is nothing wrong with it, this is also a rare opportunity for Cecil to see the upper class.And Cecil himself thinks that there is nothing wrong with going to see it.So after hesitating for a while, Cecil gave a knight's salute and agreed to Ofelina's request.

Ofelina was obviously very happy, so she let Cecil take a rest at the Earl's Mansion, and then set off with her from the Earl's Mansion for a banquet in the evening.
