Chapter 254: Huimeng (Part 1)

After entering the Roar Castle, the butler Delinden personally took Colin and his party to a courtyard.

"Master Viscount, please take a break. I will send someone to inform you when the dinner starts."

"it is good."

Since Joyce was not in a hurry to see Colin, then Colin could not show eagerness either.

However, considering that the army of dwarves was about to catch up, it was Colin who couldn't wait even more.

But Colin also understood that the more he can't afford to wait, the more he has to behave not rashly or rashly, otherwise he will be at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.

Having nothing to do, Colin simply took off his armor, took a shower, and changed into a noble dress.

In the evening, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and the night enveloped the earth earlier than usual.

The lightning that flashed across the sky from time to time was like dancing silver snakes, and thunderstorms blew up over the Winter City, shaking people's eardrums with a dull pain.

"Boom boom boom."

Covered by the roar of thunder, Colin almost didn't hear a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a young maid standing outside, respectfully inviting Colin to come to a banquet.

Colin nodded, put on the raincoat prepared by the maid together with Bachelor Dawn, and plunged into the violent storm.

The torrential rain made the guests attending the banquet a little embarrassed. However, the banquet hall of the main castle was still very lively, with bursts of cheers and laughter spreading far and wide, and even the thunder could not be covered.

Taking off the dripping raincoat and handing it to the attendant on the side, Colin straightened his clothes and stepped onto the heavy wool carpet in the banquet hall. The soft and comfortable touch gave Colin a feeling of walking in the clouds.

In the banquet hall, seven crystal chandeliers were hung on the ceiling, surrounded by a large crystal chandeliers with a diameter of three meters in the center. The burning candles inside illuminated any corner of the hall like daylight.

On the dark red carpet, there is only a long table in the middle. The table is covered with white fleece, on which is placed various exquisite foods and valuable red wine, and there are many pure gold knives and forks on the side. And ceramic dishes.

Around the table were a group of gorgeously dressed and elegant gentlemen and ladies. When Colin walked in, they cast their inquisitive gazes, as if they wanted to see what happened to the Viscount Angley who had recently risen to fame in the North. What it looks like.

Colin didn't care about everyone's curious gazes, Shi Shiran walked to the dining table, and a smiling maid handed the tableware intimately, and then softly asked Colin what he wanted.

Colin glanced around on the table and didn't see the deer's blood wine—this kind of vulgar thing certainly wouldn't appear on the formal banquet table.

Disappointed, he picked up some desserts casually.

The Mage Kuhusius who followed over filled himself with a plate full of food with great interest, causing the surrounding nobles to cast contemptuous glances from time to time.

Especially when they saw the mage gown on Kusius, the disgust barely concealed it.

However, Kusius seemed to ignore these gazes, still pouring himself a large glass of champagne, and began to eat and drink.

Colin didn't bother him either. He stood in a deserted corner at random, eating dessert while listening to Bachelor Dawn's introduction of all kinds of people in the hall.

Here are basically members of the St. Hild family, but they are all insignificant side lines. Colin listened absent-mindedly and didn't remember a few at all.

There were only two people, so Colin's gaze stayed for a while.

One is Knight Thomas St. Hild, the commander of the city's defense forces in Winter. This time the Uman family's army can enter the city smoothly, and the help of this person is definitely indispensable.

There is also Nina St. Hild, the daughter of the St. Hild family whom Earl Morrison wants to marry.

This Vera's cousin was pretty, and she exuded the grace and dignity of everybody's ladylikeness. It's no wonder that Earl Morrison was taken by Earl Morrison.

Looking at Nina with a full smile, Colin suddenly recalled the strange scene he saw under the bell tower of Fengdie Fort when he visited the Morrison family that night, and wondered whether he should destroy the marriage.

Colin always felt a little unbearable to push such a flowery girl into the fire pit of the Morrison family.

Moreover, to prevent Nina from marrying into the Morrison family, you can also see what the Morrison family's reaction is.

If they are really anxious, it means that the blood pool under the clock tower may have an inevitable connection with the daughter of Saint Hild who has been married over the years.

While Colin was calculating the Morrison family, Earl Uman walked in, followed by Walla.

However, Colin was surprised to find that Varla was wearing a Viscount dress!

It seems that after breaking with the Saint Theon family, Earl Uman has also determined to restore Varla's status as a direct son and confirm his inheritance rights.

This banquet is also a good opportunity to officially introduce Valla to the nobles in the north.

As if feeling Colin's gaze, Walra glanced at Colin, and then immediately looked away.

"Unexpectedly, Walla turned out to be the real son of Count Uman." Bachelor Dawn seemed to have seen some clues, and his tone was quite emotional.

"Yeah, who can think of it." Colin said with a smile.

Just when Earl Uman introduced the gentlemen and ladies to his real son one by one, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

When Colin was puzzled, he saw a tall woman walking in the entrance of the hall.

The chestnut hair is as soft and bright as silk and satin, scattered on the thin and white shoulders, and a melon-seeded face is well-defined. Although there is no makeup, the perfect facial features and milk-white skin make it even more beautiful and refined.

It's just that she has a pair of peach eyes, with a slight natural pink around her eyes, and the ends of her eyes are slightly curled up, even if she is not smiling, she also has a charming and bright smile, her eyes are blurred, which is addictive.

Her whole body is shrouded in loose priest robes. Only when she is walking, she occasionally reveals her exquisite body curve, towering chest pu, slender waist, round plump tun, and slender legs. It's looming, fascinating.

But her demeanor was extremely pious, her whole body exuded a holy radiance, and she had an awe-inspiring temperament, as if she was an ascetic in the church.

The temptation of charming bones and the holiness of Ning Jingshui, two contradictory qualities appeared in the female priest at the same time, and they blended into a kind of thrilling charm. For a while, everyone present couldn't help but turn up their hearts. Waves.

"Who is she?" Colin swallowed quietly and asked Bachelor Dawn.

"The new archbishop of the Northern Territory-Pastor Adjani." Bachelor Dawn's voice was a little hoarse, and it seemed that he was also shaken by Adjani's beauty.

"Such a young archbishop?" Colin looked at Bachelor Dawn in disbelief.

You know, the post of Archbishop is in charge of the entire Northern Diocese, and this woman is only in her early twenties.

Although age and ability are not necessarily proportional, it is shocking to be able to occupy such a high position at such an age within a complete system.

Bachelor Dawn nodded seriously, indicating that he was not mistaken: "It is said that this archbishop is twenty-four years old, but he is highly regarded by the pope, and the speed of promotion is simply jaw-dropping.

During this period, the situation in the northern border was turbulent, and the church personnel changes in the northern border were also drastic. This Archbishop Ajani just took office at the beginning of this year. "

Colin's expression moved slightly, as if he understood something: "So, this woman should support Joyce?"

"should be."

While talking about gossip with Bachelor Dawn, Colin was stunned to discover that the Archbishop Adjani was walking straight in his direction.

"Good evening, Viscount Angele!"

The beautiful female priest came to Colin, bowed down, and then smiled.

In an instant, like a peacock on the screen, the epiphany bloomed, and the whole banquet hall became bright.

All the men present had quickened heartbeats and dry mouths. They wanted to replace Colin and stand in front of the archbishop.

But soon, Adjani narrowed her smile and restored her original indifferent and alienated expression, like an angel descending from the mortal world, looking down at her believers.

"Good evening, Archbishop Adjani!"

Colin greeted in a flat tone, but infinite vigilance rose in his heart.

This woman is coquettishly like a poppy, full of fatal temptation. If she is not careful, she may be drawn into the endless abyss at any time.

No wonder being an archbishop at a young age is indeed amazing!

"I heard that you are a benevolent lord who not only provided food to the slaves during the famine, but also sent people to teach the slave children." Ajani's voice was crisp and slightly lazy, as if it was a summer afternoon. The girl who just woke up was acting like a baby to her lover.

Colin shifted his gaze back, and he found the bishop emeritus behind Ajani. These things were clearly told by the bishop of Ice Rock City and now the bishop of Winter City.

"Archbishop, you have praised, these are just my responsibilities as the lord of Ice Rock City."

Just when Ajani wanted to speak, she saw a small figure walking in again at the entrance of the hall.

But it was this small figure that made all the nobles present bow and salute.

Obviously, this is now the nominal "master" of Fort Roar-Joyce St. Hild has arrived.

Colin also quickly put down the plate in his hand and bowed to the host of today's banquet.

At the same time, the corner of his eyes glanced at the wall clock on the wall-this little guy was actually late.

I don’t know if it was deliberate, or...

"Viscount Angley!"

When Colin secretly slandered himself, he heard Joyce calling his name.

"Master Joyce!" Colin hurriedly stepped out, with some doubts in his heart.

Joyce raised his chin and said angrily: "You are too much!"

Clin's heart suddenly stunned.

Um?

Is it so exciting to come up?
