I swear that I will return with my soul, and my family and country will live forever

—— "The War of Dusk"

01

"Brother, someone will invite me to dinner tomorrow." Zichen suddenly said excitedly to Wisipel when he was about to leave the Genesis Library.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Vehipel just flipped through the book quietly.

"Yesterday, a girl accidentally fell into the Silver Leaf Lake in the Hall of Valor. I happened to be able to swim and jumped to save her. Then another boy ran over and sent the girl to the infirmary with me. After the girl woke up, she said that she wanted to invite me to have dinner with that boy tomorrow. The girl seems to be called Qili, she is the daughter of a viscount, and the boy is also the son of a very powerful officer. He will inherit his father's position in the future. What is his name Luo? Sa."

"Why are you telling me this?" Wihipel smiled.

Zichen was stunned for a moment. In fact, he didn't know why he told Wichpel about this matter, but he couldn't help telling him everything when he saw Wichpel.

"In any case, I wish you a pleasant dinner together." Wischpel looked up at him and said with a chuckle.

At noon the next day, Zichen arrived early at the address written on the invitation letter, which was Rose Gold, a famous restaurant outside the Hall of Valor.It is a place where only those noble sons and gentlemen have money to spend, and every square centimeter of the wall can only be affixed with gold foil to show their style and luxury.

Marble columns, gorgeous crystal chandeliers, and Greek sculptures holding silver plates.

When entering the restaurant, the serving maid came over, "Sorry, we can only dine here with distinguished guests who have made reservations in advance."

"Oh? Is that so? I haven't heard of it. Then I'll wait here at the door." Zichen was stunned.

"This... I'm afraid it will block other people if I wait here." The maid said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, don't worry, I won't wait too long. The invitation says it's twelve o'clock, and it's already 11:30, and they'll be here soon."

"This...or you can wait on the bench next to it. You can rest there." The maid pointed to the bench across the street and said.

"Oh, oh, thank you!" Zichen smiled and thanked the maid, then ran to the opposite chair.

It took a long time for Qili to arrive here. She was completely changed from the panicked girl who fell into the water that day. She was wearing a delicate and lovely chiffon lace dress, and her golden hair was tied into a classic bun. It is adorned with exquisite diamond chips.

Next to her was Rosa, the boy who took her to the infirmary with Zichen that day. He was wearing a crisp custom-made dress, polished leather shoes, and his hair was combed back.The two look quite alike.

Zichen waved to the two people quickly, but the two people seemed to be chatting happily and didn't notice Zichen's existence at all, so Zichen ran directly in front of them. "Didn't you say it was twelve o'clock? Why did you come here?"

The two of them were a little surprised when they saw Zichen, but they smiled immediately and said, "I was delayed because of something just now."

The three of them walked into the restaurant together, and after they were seated, Rosa and Qili had been chatting happily, Zichen also wanted to say something, after all it was a bit embarrassing to be left alone, but the two of them chatted well. Classical art was the political anecdote of Arthur and Varner, and he really didn't have a hand in it.

Only when the two of them suddenly talked about Vesper, he could barely understand.

"I heard that the Knights Templar of His Royal Highness Wisper is recruiting again recently. I don't know who will be selected in this session of the Hall of Valor."

"It is a great honor to enter the Knights Templar. I am currently preparing for the selection exam." Reza said, "Although the selection is very strict, based on my grades and family status, I should still be able to give it a try. .”

"Master Resa is indeed a talented young man. My father has always praised you very much. After you saved me this time, my family is very grateful to you. I hope to have the opportunity to invite you to my family as a guest." Qi Li smiled lightly, with a sweet smile, just like a noble lady.

Zichen remembered that when he saw Wisipel this time, the soldiers behind him in silver armor were like sharp knives that could cut through everything in that rainy night.

He couldn't help but interjected, "Ask, how can I take the selection test."

Luosa and Qili obviously realized that there was such a person beside them, they turned around after a moment of stunned, and looked Zichen up and down.

Qi Li covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Only the best fighters may be eligible to take the selection test. It is not so easy to enter the Knights Templar."

"You, it's better to study those machines carefully. This exam has little to do with you." Reza said.

Zichen was stunned.

"By the way, Zichen, don't you have class this afternoon?" Qi Li said suddenly.

Zichen scratched his head, "Oh, there was originally a section, but it was just a mechanical assembly. I assembled it yesterday. Just ask my roommate Dai Wen to help me take it there."

"Oh, that's good." Qi Li smiled lightly, like a lady in a medieval oil painting.

After a while, the exquisitely plated steaks were brought up. Till now, Zichen still couldn't tell which ones were cooked. For him, as long as they could be eaten, it was fine.

The red wine glass was poured into the wine glass. Zichen looked at the knife and fork next to his hand and was still a little at a loss. He only ate something that needed a knife and fork to cut, one time was fried eggs, and the other time was steak.But unfortunately, Wischpel cut it for him both times.So to this day he still doesn't know how to use a knife and fork.

Leisa obviously saw Zichen's embarrassment, and smiled lightly while holding a red wine glass, "Why? Don't you know how to use a knife and fork?"

Zichen nodded.

Reza's smile deepened, "By the way, you are the Donghuang man who scored zero marks in the Valkyrie test."

Qili next to her said, "It is said that you are from the country of Donghuang. They say that the country of Donghuang is a very barren and backward place, and the people there don't know how to use knives and forks. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true. of."

They were still laughing, very deep and deep.

Zichen lowered his head and smiled, holding the silver knife in his hand tightly.

The polished marble wall next to it was like a mirror, reflecting the appearance of him and the two people opposite.

On one side of the table he was wearing his totally ill-fitting Valhalla uniform, and on the other side of the table, the two men were dressed as if they were coming to a feast.A golden boy and a jade girl are so unmatched.

The contrast was so strong that he felt it was too obvious and cruel, but the marble wall was so smooth and clean, which completely reflected his appearance. He shrugged, lowered his head very low, and turned his hands almost feebly. knife and fork.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.Even he couldn't help but start laughing at himself.

He suddenly remembered the contempt in his eyes when he told Vehipel that someone invited him to dinner, and he didn't look happy for him at all.He must have known it a long time ago, he must have seen everything.

It's ridiculous.

When he appeared in front of Qili and Rosa, the surprise in their eyes.He should have known it since then. In fact, they never thought of really inviting him, so they deliberately chose a time when he had classes in the afternoon.He should never have been here in the first place.

Is there anything else that can only be entered if you book in advance? Poor people affect their business.

It's really ridiculous. In fact, it doesn't matter who rescued Qi Li. The important thing is that one of them is the daughter of a viscount and the other is the son of an officer.The status is commensurate, this is not a thank-you banquet at all, it is just an excuse for them to make friends.

From the very beginning, it was a mistake for him to come here.

Zichen lowered his head and chuckled.Curl yourself up like a bereaved dog.

"Quick, quick!" Two rows of beautifully dressed maids and waiters suddenly filed out from the stairs on the second floor.The waiters and maids were lined up on both sides, and at the end of the line was a chunky middle-aged man in a neat suit with a slightly upturned mustache.

"Master, why did you come to this kind of place to eat suddenly? When I received the news that the young master had come to this restaurant, the master immediately sent me here to serve the young master." The middle-aged man suddenly ran to their table, bowed respectfully, "The next time the young master eats outside, please be sure to tell the old slave. The old slave can also let the restaurant prepare in advance, so as not to make the young master feel wronged if there is something incomplete in the restaurant."

Zichen twitched the corner of his mouth and thought, Damn, who is this? A young master, more respectful than a eunuch, an eunuch, and an old slave. It seems that this Rosa is quite powerful.

But everything has nothing to do with him, he is just a foil here.

Rosa and Qili next to her seemed very surprised. "Do I know you?"

But the middle-aged man stood up as if he hadn't heard what Rosa said, and respectfully... picked up... the steak in front of Zichen.

Damn, I've already dutifully reduced my sense of existence, so I won't bother you two to show your affection.Do you want to kill them all like this!I don't even keep the steak for me!

The middle-aged man once again saluted Zichen respectfully, "Master Chen, hello, I am your loyal servant Gondor Reza Silevance Wilton."

Zichen froze in place,...what did he call me just now...Master Chen...Master Chen.

He must be dreaming.Yes.

Then he saw his loyal servant, Gondor Reza Siri, give the steak that was placed in front of him to a maid next to him, and then arrogantly began to teach another bald middle-aged man next to him. The photo of the young man hangs on the wall of the hall, with a gold-plated photo frame embedded on it, and the words Aureville Proy Dalton-Honorary Store Manager of Rose Gold are written in gold letters.

"Master Chen rarely eats outside, and yours dare to serve Master Chen with such goods! Do you want this restaurant to close down immediately?"

Is it really good for a servant to have such a powerful aura...

But the honorary store manager bowed his head and bowed his head in front of this servant, as if he was a servant.Then he turned his head and commanded the maid next to him majestically, "Haven't you seen it? It is the greatest honor of our store for decades that Master Chen can come to our shop. And how dare you neglect Master Chen so much, hurry up and give us the treasured Beihai area." Here comes the steak with caviar."

The servant Gondor Reza waved his hands proudly, "No need, the steaks that our Master Chen enjoys are always specially prepared by the special chefs in this mansion, and they are cut directly. Master Chen never needs to cut the steaks himself."

Can anyone explain to him what's going on? ! !

The exquisite silver plate covered with a hemispherical silver cover was carried by a dignified maid. Gondor Reza took the silver plate in a noble manner, turned around respectfully, placed the silver plate in front of Master Chen, and lifted the silver cover , every movement seems to have been trained countless times, noble and elegant is better than aristocrats.Only the ultimate power could have such a servant.

At the moment when the cover was opened, Zichen suddenly smiled slightly.

Yes, that man really knew everything.

He thought of the person in the silhouette against the light who said to him softly, — Anyway, I wish you a happy dinner,

His smile is like long and gentle skylight.

He ate food that required a knife and fork three times, and the food was cut by the same person for him three times.

Beautiful criss-cross cut, he seemed to be able to see how the man cut the steak gracefully.Every movement is as perfect as a poem.

He smiled slightly.Then he looked up at his servant Gondor Reza, "I don't know if the red wine I like has been brought over for me."

"Naturally." Gondor Reza bowed respectfully, "In the name of the gods, this bottle of wine is the cellar of the Royal Manor. When it was brewed, gods flowers were added, so it got its name. It was chosen by the master himself for Master Chen. The quality of the wine is pure, and it has the fragrance of flowers favored by gods."

master?Now he wondered if he was really the illegitimate son of Vichypel.

Gondoresa was holding a bottle of wine, as if he had been specially trained, even the angle at which he held the bottle was particular. Zichen just nodded slightly, since he didn't know anything about wine anyway.Expensive red wine is poured into glasses, reflecting the color of the sun.

Zichen was leaning on the seat, with his arm resting on the back of the chair, with red wine in his other hand, his eyes half-closed, like the dude described in the book.

"Is there any music? The violin is the best." He looked at Gondor Reza and asked casually.

"Naturally." Gondor Reza clapped his hands lightly, the melodious violin played, and then the piano, viola, cello, and the entire orchestra appeared behind the curtain, "It's Master Chen's favorite "intro-intro", you know Master Chen likes to listen to music while eating, so he brought all the musicians from home."

Zichen smiled, he really did.

But in the eyes of others, Zichen's smile is just a noble young master's satisfaction with the servant's caring work.

Qili and Rosa on the opposite side were stunned.

Zichen toasted them slowly with a wine glass, like the host at a banquet saying to the guests, please feel free.

The sharp-eyed honorary store manager immediately ordered the waiter around him, "How can you use this kind of food to entertain the distinguished guests of Master Chen? Hurry up and change it to caviar steak, hurry up, and change the red wine too. Call our top chef Come here, let him come if he is not on duty today."

"Quick, quick, tell the other tables that we won't be doing business today, and let those who made reservations quickly return. Just say that we are here today, Master Chen, and we have booked. Today, there is only Master Chen as a distinguished guest."

The maids and waiters came out in a dazzling file, and the tables were filled quickly.

The honorary store manager cautiously flattered Zichen, "Master Chen, look, there is still room up there, which is much better than this place. Otherwise, change things up, no, everything will be new.  … ...Look, how is it?"

Zichen didn't answer, but used a fork to fork the steak on the plate almost indistinctly, and then ate it.

But no one thinks that he has no image, the store manager even thought while peeping at Master Chen, he is indeed a powerful and powerful young master, the posture of eating steak is so unrestrained, handsome and handsome.

Yes, it seems that the boy who was here half an hour ago like a bereaved dog has completely disappeared, the boy who shrugged and retracted himself into the corner disappeared, and was replaced by a cynical and noble boy from a rich family.

The store manager didn't hear Zichen's answer for a long time, so he boldly called out, "Master Chen?"

As if he had just escaped from his own world, Zichen asked lightly, "Oh? What's the matter?"

"Or, how about switching to the top?"

"No, the view here is very good." Zichen replied lightly while looking out of the window, but the Jingui in his tone could not be ignored.

"Yes..." the store manager quickly replied.

"Well, why haven't I heard of the identity of Master Chen?" Rosa next to him said boldly.

Zichen smiled, "Don't call me Young Master Chen, just call me Zichen like before."

"No no no! How dare you."

"I don't know who your father is? I'd like to choose a day to visit to thank Master Chen for saving me from the water." Qi Li said, "At that time I fell into the water, if Master Chen hadn't rushed up to save me first , Thinking about it now, I’m still afraid, Master Chen saved me not enough, and he dutifully sent me to the hospital, which is simply too considerate.”

"No need, he doesn't like to meet people." Zichen thought that if they knew it was Wisipel, they wouldn't be scared to death.

"I don't know if Master Chen will take part in this selection test." Rosa asked.

"I barely passed all the exams, and it's a joke to go to the competition."

"How could it be? I know that Master Chen must have concealed his true strength during the entrance exam. The selection of the Knights Templar is no easy feat for Master Chen."

Zichen didn't answer, just smiled.

It started to rain outside, washing the road with rain.

Gondor Reza bowed down respectfully and whispered in his ear, "Master Chen should go back, the master should have been waiting impatiently. The carriage is already waiting outside."

Zichen nodded and looked outside the door. The waiters and maids were lined up on both sides of the door, just like the grand ostentation of ancient Roman monarchs.The door was open, and outside the door a carriage made of the best riveted teak wood was waiting in the heavy rain.

He got up and said, okay.

When he walked to the door, Gondoresa thoughtfully opened the black umbrella to cover him, and the waiters lined up on both sides, and the uniformed waiters opened the brown-painted doors of the carriage.

When Zichen was about to step on it, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, with the palm facing up, and the knuckles were slender and perfect.

He looked up at the people in the carriage, "It really is you..."

The person in the carriage was as handsome as a god, nodded and smiled slightly, and stretched out a hand to him.

In the torrential rain, it seemed that all the time had stopped at this moment.

04

The luxurious carriage was driving slowly in the rain, and passers-by couldn't help but look sideways, wondering which rich and powerful could own such a carriage.

"How did you guess it was mine?" Vehipel asked him.

"Only a perverted obsessive-compulsive disorder like you can cut the steak like that." Zichen shrugged.

5 minute later.

"Brother, don't do this! It's raining outside, you can't just throw me away like this! You can't just throw me down! Brother, I was wrong! Brother!"

Under Zichen's stalking, Wihipel still couldn't throw him down, and finally threw him directly outside the dormitory door.

Zichen waved to the carriage in the hall of the dormitory, "Brother! Goodbye!"

The carriage drove away slowly, and gradually disappeared into the majestic rain. Zichen, who had been watching the carriage leave, smiled softly, but his smile gradually faded, and then suddenly lost any vitality.

He stood in the middle of the hall in a daze, and for a moment he seemed to become that waste who was at a loss in front of the steak and the ridicule of the two people opposite him.It was like stripping off all the armor, and he was still that poor lost dog.

The boy turned around and walked up the marble steps one step at a time, with only a few figures behind him.
