Days and nights of women's clothing in front of the Duke

The king held a grand banquet to celebrate the victory in the war.

In the war between Isa and the centaur, the humanoid blood paid a heavy price for the victory, but at the same time, the king of Isa also announced that the humanoid blood would become the second race of the Isa Kingdom, with civil rights, and could walk freely in Isa. among the nations of Satan.

This is the first country on the mainland to accept humanoid blood.

Dan was the youngest son of Abel, the leader of the humanoid blood, and he and his father went to Isaac's palace on the day of the feast.

Dan is 16 years old this year, and his father was supposed to take his brother, but the brother gave up the opportunity to Dan.

"You should go and see King Isa's house." Arnold smiled and fiddled with the fire, steam gurgling from the black teapot spout, wet his eyebrows.

Arnold had long hair hanging loose, and his face was bandaged. He had just withdrawn from the birch forest battlefield, and a piece of his right cheek was sliced ​​off by a centaur knife, which would leave a scar.

Dan was a little nervous. He had never been on a battlefield, nor had he ever left his family: "Can't Arnold be with me?" Dan looked at his father, who lowered his head and asked his wife to put the necklace on for him.

Arnold said: "Father will send you to Themis Seminary, you will come into contact with many people, Dan, you should start to adapt to their civilization, and you have to remember that when you walk into the king's banquet, you represent me family."

"Will they beat us with pitchforks and hoes?"

Arnold said: "No, the king has issued an order. They are friends who have fought with us. Isa will welcome us."

Dan nodded his head, then shook his head: "Emperor Centaur also said that they are friends of my clan, but he killed Yan."

Yan is the elder brother of Dan and Arnold, he is Abel's eldest son, he was skinned and hung on the city wall by Emperor Centaur a year ago.

This passage reminded Anuo of unhappy things, but he couldn't lose his temper with his youngest brother.

"Dan, you should go to Grandma, she wants to comb your hair." Arnold finally patted Dan on the shoulder.

Mother dressed Dan in her best clothes, put on a necklace, kissed his forehead, and sent him and his father out of the straw yurt. The humanoid camp was stationed outside the city, and they could not live in the city yet.

Dan was shirtless, riding a white wildebeest through the bustling streets. He lowered his head. Because he didn't like exercising, his chest muscles were only a pitiful layer, and he didn't look strong at all. He remembered Arnold's The pectoral muscles are bulging, and one hand can push down a wildebeest.

"Dan, look up." His father reminded him gently, patting him on the back.

Dan straightened his body subconsciously, and his eyes swept across the street in a hurry. The street of Isa is wide, paved with large stones, without dirt and dust, and there are tall stone houses with pointed roofs.

Old people, children, wandering entertainers with ukuleles, and dancing girls clustered on both sides of the avenue, throwing flowers to the procession, chatting and chatting with no malice.

A girl in a yellow hat threw a flower at Dan and shyly pushed her way into the crowd.

Dan remembered his mother's advice, and blushed and asked the tribe next to him: "Kasha, should I give her money?"

Kasha laughed loudly and kept saying no, she said proudly: "We are warriors who are triumphant, and this is a flower dedicated to the warriors."

Dan gently sniffed the buds, the soft fragrance of the flowers soothed his anxiety, he chased his father's tall and strong back, proudly raised his head like a real prince.

The 17-year-old Duke of Austin is also invited. He is distinguished and very rich, but this Duke is a nuisance who despises human blood in the new era and insists on blood.

On the day of the king's banquet, the duke proclaimed.

Every aristocrat with status should come to his manor on the autumn harvest day, taste the wine of Chateau Margot, overlook the red pine snow mountain, and appreciate the autumn red maple under the setting sun.

"Of course, I welcome real nobles, but I don't like poor ghosts, bastards, and nouveau riche." The young duke had obvious intentions, openly provoking the upstarts around the king, and dissatisfied with other humanoid bloodlines. The action justifies itself to the wrath of the king appointing a new lord.

But Halip, who is the king, doesn't think so. The racial talent of humanoid blood in the war with the Centaur Empire is obvious to all. He expects this upstart to have a more dazzling performance.

The Duke's actions are undoubtedly pushing away this reliable ally, but as the lord of the Wild Jade Sea, he has some privileges and is slightly outside the king's rights.

So King Halip did not order, but tried to reconcile: "Austin, why don't you let the wine in the glass dispel your anger, I am happy to see you happy, boy, don't be so stern, and don't be angry because of the past." old things but mean today's friends."

The corner of the Duke's mouth was lowered, his face was too young to be indifferent and arrogant, his appearance was not outstanding, his eyes were cold, and he sneered at these warriors who repelled the enemy and won the war.

"I will never sit with the beast."

"Duke Austin."

Abel, the leader of the humanoid bloodline, spoke. He is a tall man with light green skin. A true gentleman.

Austin glanced at him, raised his chin, and interrupted: "You don't need to boast about your achievements, I don't care what you have done, in fact, whether you are slaves or soldiers, whether you dragged your saber and pierced the enemy armor, the kingdom of Isa will win this war."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The ancestors of your clan were proficient in animal language, so why do you need to crowd into the crowd? According to the common saying of your clan, 'return to nature', you should also return to the livestock."

Austin stood up from the wine table, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth was as deep as a crack on a glacier.

"More than 300 years ago, these bastards were eating the bones of their own kind, refining poison from babies, and chaining their women to stakes to make peace with wild beasts, but today, my noble friends, they want Drinking at the same table with us, maybe in the future, these guys will marry your daughters and put on your family name, and if things go on like this, the real nobles will no longer exist, and only these bastards will be left."

The guests were in an uproar.

"Austin!" said the king, angry like a raging bull, "don't let me hear another word from your dirty mouth, or you will never speak! Get out of here! Did you hear that!"

King Halip's face was gloomy, his gray beard trembled like sea water.

"Yes, Your Majesty, of course I have to go, I can't bear to be in the same room with these people." The Duke stood up with a sneer.

"Your Excellency Austin." Abel stood up, his golden pupils were cold, staring at the Duke, as if he wanted to look directly into his soul through his mean skin.

"My family has abandoned bad habits for a long time, and I have also deeply understood the fundamentals of human nature. If you treat our family like this today, you don't know what you will do when the war will affect the wild jade sea in the future."

Austin did not face the question directly, but said: "I advise you to find a reliable etiquette teacher and learn how to speak human words first."

Then, ignoring the horrified face of the person being ridiculed, the Duke turned and left the banquet after causing an uproar.

The king took a deep breath for a while, and sincerely calmed the upstart's emotions: "Abel, I have to apologize to you, this child's parents died at the hands of humanoid blood, he was spoiled by me, that's why he said that Unobstructed, believe me, he is not hostile to your clan, he is just too young and impulsive."

There are quite a few people with humanoid blood who are proficient in human language. They understand the Duke's words, and they are excited, and they are extremely embarrassed by the whispers among the nobles provoked by the Duke.

"My family can never bear such humiliation!" Kasha roared and jumped onto the dining table, moving nimbly like a leopard cat,

"My God! What is she doing?"

The guests covered their faces with their hands and whispered to each other.

"Can you see it? That's a girl..."

"It's indecent."

Apparently the act of jumping on the dining table was more jaw-dropping than the mean Duke, Abel shook his head at Kasha, Kasha stared at the direction the Duke was leaving with a terrible grunt in her throat.

The king's face changed, Abel raised his hand, and stopped his movements.

"Kasha! Go back to your seat!" Abel said seriously.

"As your Majesty said, the Duke may have misunderstood our family." Abel drank the wine in his glass and played with a small pure gold spoon in his rough green palm: "I heard that the Duke will leave Wild Jade Sea soon and go to Themis studied, and some people of our family also went to school, and I believe that getting along with each other will help the Duke eliminate his prejudice against our family."

The king helped the crooked crown, twisted his beard and sighed: "I hope, that kid has the ability to mess up everything."

He noticed the child next to Abel, a young man with pale green skin.

"Is this your son, Abel."

Abel nodded and introduced to the king: "He is my youngest son, Dan, and he will also go to Themis in the future."

The king snorted and said with concern: "Do you have to go to Themis? Abel, I have built many schools for you. You don't have to go to Themis. It is too unfriendly to races other than humans. .”

Abel shook his head: "We will never forget Isa's help to humanoids, but escaping is not the best way. It took us 100 years to shed the beast's skin, so we should spend more time learning to blend in." .”

"Okay, then I wish you well, Dan." The king stroked Dan's hair and said gently, "But as a friend, I still hope you can consider accepting my suggestion."

Abel smiled: "I will think about it."

But Abel knew that he didn't change his mind because of the king's words.

tough first day

24 chapter

After the king's banquet.

Dan followed his father and left Isaac's palace. When parting, the king gave Abel an ivory dagger that symbolized friendship. His friendly and attentive attitude made people feel flattered and a little scared.

"Dear Abel, you know that we will be the best allies. No one will accept your people more sincerely than me. I treat you like a treasure in my hand. I hope that no matter what happens, you and my friendship will not be shaken. "

Halip worries about what the Duke did at the banquet.

The king hugged his subject, and the soft feathers at the hem of his cloak brushed Dan's cheek, its weight so light.

"Of course, Your Majesty, Isa is a human-like friend." Abel smiled. He looked into the king's sincere eyes, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm just worried. We come from different regions and have different customs and beliefs." , Does the Duke's attitude represent the wishes of most of the nobles in Isa?"

The king was silent, and sighed: "I don't want to admonish a child who lost his parents at an early age. It's my fault that Austin became so arrogant and cold, but no one can deny your achievements, Abel, now it's my fault." In the era of the new era, wizards and magic have long disappeared, and there are shadows of birch trees around the Goddess Temple. I believe that the equality you have been waiting for will come soon."

Abel looked at the crescent crescent above his head, his eyes were deep, his handsome outline was deep and cold, like a paraffin statue: "Your Majesty, there is no sacrifice without bloodshed, and there is no good luck bestowed by God, I only hope that this process of equality will not be too much." It's just cruel."

"You're too pessimistic, Abel."

Abel smiled and said goodbye to the king in silence.

Dan bowed his head to pay tribute, he couldn't tell how he felt, for him, everything about Isa made him feel fresh, and at the same time, he also had an inexplicable fear, the humanoid was once in a desperate situation, but the victory after the hard work was even more exciting. worry.

Father rode on the wildebeest and walked in front of Dan. The clansman team was both angry and depressed. Due to his father's authority, quarrels and curses broke out in the team until they walked out of the king's palace. From King Isa, down to the hairless aristocratic monkey.

Dan looked up a few times, but found that his father had no intention of stopping him. He couldn't help but drove the wildebeest closer and asked, "Father, are Kasha and the others okay?"

Abel shook his head: "How many people can understand human-like language? Children, let them vent."

Dan frowned: "Father, must we form an alliance with humans?"

In Dan's subconscious mind, he always felt that this was not a good idea. Hearing his youngest son's doubts, Abel smiled wryly and said, "I protected you too well, Dan, you were born in the New Era, and my family has already gained the wealth from the chaos of war. Everything, but before the scholars of Themis admit us, the humanoids lack food and clothing, have no clothes, have no salt, are trafficked, kept in captivity, butchered, tremble like pigs in pens, fear the steel knife on the chopping block, we have nothing else Choose, son."

Dan sniffed, thinking of the cold and arrogant young nobleman: "What if humans don't accept us?"

Abel patted him on the back and laughed softly: "So we have to integrate into them, as he said, we have to marry our women to them, let our men marry their daughters, and form marriages, regardless of each other. "

"I look forward to the day when the white tree of God the Father can be planted next to the Temple of the Goddess."

Dan squeezed his fist and looked at his father's tall figure: "I will, father."

Abel touched his head: "You never worry me."

The white palace stood like a square human face among the gray-brown trunks of beech trees.

The forest is deep and dense, with pointed roofs protruding from the branches and leaves, green vines hanging on the white walls, and clusters of small white flowers formed from buds, covering the eyes carved in stone on the walls.

The Duke of Austin stepped up the steps step by step, and the silver inlaid on the black leather boots touched the ground, making a dull sound, the sound was short and unhurried.

He walked along the garden path to the temple, picking flowers along the way with jeweled hands, crushing them carelessly, and scattering them on the gravel road.

This is the last day of Duke Austin's stay in the capital. In a few days, the Duke will leave the capital, return to the territory of Wild Jade Sea, and then go to Themis.

He went alone to the temple of the goddess of the moon to fetch water from the spring for the Three Holy Days.

The Duke passed through the twelve colonnades and entered the empty and quiet temple. The sunlight was swallowed by gauze, and the soft moonlight spewed out through the layers of silk threads. The goddess held a flying shuttle, lowered her eyes slightly, and smiled holy and beautiful.

The ice spring gushed out from the bottomless hole, forming a dark green patch. The Duke's boots rolled over the moss. He leaned over, and a bearded face was reflected in the pool water, with a sly smile like a fox and bright black pupils. , containing light as sharp as a blade.

But Austin felt that he saw a lump of soft and sticky snot, and it also had an unpleasant smell of wine.

"Hi, Austin." He stretched out his hand to stir up the pool water, and the sweat-soaked silk sweater was tucked in the tattered silver armor. He was tall and fat, like a solid iron tower, and Luo took advantage of the opportunity to catch the Duke shoulder, muttered: "Are you here to fetch the holy water? Chenghui a silver coin."

There is no one in the temple all year round, only the knights who belong to the temple will occasionally patrol, Austin did not expect to see Luo.

The condition of the knight was a little surprising, but Austin did not expose his botched deception, and took out a silver coin from his pocket as he wished.

He couldn't help but sneered: "Silver Knight, Silver Coin Knight."

Luo flicked the silver coin away, then grabbed it in the palm of his hand again, his fingers were as nimble as a butterfly: "No one will have trouble with money."

"Ah."

Austin took the jug from his waist and filled it with spring water: "Then you should return to Isa to be your prince."

"My other brothers don't think so." Luo walked around the Duke, with his fat fingers resting on the hilt of his sword: "Speaking of which, you have caused a lot of trouble for His Majesty the Emperor, 'the king can create nobles, but You can't create nobles', 'humanoids will stain the blood', are you the ones who said these words?"

He was in high spirits, tossing around, with a narrow light in his black eyes: "Your Majesty has worked so hard to form a friendship with a humanoid, and he did not hesitate to offend the temple. He will not let you destroy all of this." He said: "O Siding, in the new era, your ideas are too old, and you are only 17 years old, shouldn't you drink and have fun in the arms of girls at this age."

New era.

This is a popular saying nowadays. Since more than ten years ago, when the first Elmo mermaid obtained the gold coins from the merchant, more and more hidden races have stepped into the human world.

Human beings have gone from killing wildly to getting used to, acquiescing, and recognizing their country, and can go to war with a certain race.

For example, people and horses.

Austin touched the pool of water, and couldn't understand the endless talk of the silver and white knight. He thought that the other party had drawn a clear line with Isa since entering the temple, and was no longer a prince, prince, or any identity.

He buckled the silver kettle and made a light rattling sound: "Is it interesting?" He looked at the smiling face of the silver and white knight: "As the crown prince, I can't face the shadow in my heart and choose to cling to the temple."

Luo's happy expression disappeared, and the duke said: "You can talk to me in any capacity, but Mr. Silver Knight, as a pure-hearted and ascetic guardian, your whole body and mind belong to the gods of the temple, and all mortal things are worthless." It should not be through your mouth to defile the ears of the gods."

He knew that Austin was an out-and-out bastard since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would become even meaner when he grew up.

"Well, I thought I was still a prince."

Austin was amused by Lo's vague tone, and he flicked the water off the silver jug, his green eyes glistening like a glowing opal with a cold, ruthless sneer.

"Perhaps, if your so-called prince is what you are now, then you are."

Luo snorted and pulled out his sword: "If the nobles are like you, then I would rather be a silver coin knight. I don't kill people, and I don't have to deal with my sharp-toothed idiot brothers. I don’t like people bowing to me and talking about my lord, you see, there is nothing wrong with being in the temple, otherwise I can let you get out before you speak.”

The silvery-white sword blade swept across Austin, and the wind blown away the long curly hair like seaweed, revealing the scarred neck, which was ugly and compact like fish scales, extending from the neckline of the silk shirt, horrifying. Makes one's scalp numb.

Duke Austin's gaze turned cold, and he subconsciously covered it with his hands.

Luo was taken aback, he withdrew his sword, his expression was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, you are always so mean, I almost forgot about it."

He withdrew his sword, but this didn't make the Duke's expression much better. Luo scratched his head and said, "Austin, believe it or not, I didn't interfere with DeWitt's affairs back then. I sympathize with what happened to you. Please When you take revenge, you are optimistic about the target, I don't mind losing a younger brother, just leave one to inherit the throne."

The Duke's gaze had lost the slightest warmth. Luo finally muttered a few words, tightened his armor and walked back into the shadow of the temple.

Austin put away the small silver pot and left the Temple of the Goddess step by step.

He thought, perhaps the day and night prayers before the statue were not useless, at least Luo lost his temper just like the clay sculpture on the altar.

Austin thought coldly.

Halip is a selfish king, and his sons are as selfish and stupid as their father, but they are not as cunning as Halip.

In Austin's view, the king's sons are a bunch of squeaking rats, except for copulating, biting their own kind, and doing some petty theft, they just lie in the rice bowl and dream, stupid Vicious beyond redemption.

One of them, a little wiser and less useless, was wasting away in the temple, preferring to be a deceit rather than wear a crown to defend his duty.

When Austin boarded the carriage and was alone, he couldn't help touching his scar, and immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded, with a look of pain in his eyes, but the fragile look was too short-lived and insignificant.

Still sullen, he gracefully picked up the handkerchief and wiped his fingers.

Luo didn't understand that if he was not a chess player, he could only be a pawn at the mercy of others, and fell into a more tragic and ridiculous fate.
