Spear and Cross

Zhonglai invited them to a reception held at his home a few days later.

"Unfortunately, I have been very busy recently. This is not an excuse, you know, the temple ceremony is coming soon, I have a lot to do, and my brother asked me to find Rare monsters..." Fraxis smiled at him with a face full of embarrassment, "If His Majesty the King hadn't hosted today's dinner, I would still be working hard on my desk. I'm sorry, maybe I didn't this time. way to participate.”

He purposely made the matter of "looking for rare monsters" somewhat vague, and put it on Durand's head, making him look helpless and regretful, as if he really wanted to go to Enbogle's reception so much, But the schedule was filled with all kinds of troubles, so he had to refuse the invitation against his will.

Hadley patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Durande has a caravan and wants you to help him find Warcraft? What a harsh brother. It sounds like he is still as difficult to get along with as before."

Durand's temper is notoriously bad among the group of noble children of similar age. He has few friends, and he doesn't like to play with children from other families. Among the noble children, he and Fraxis are almost completely The opposite exists.This is also one of the reasons why Hadley still said that Durand is difficult to get along with now, and another reason... Fracis guessed irresponsibly, maybe he bullied Royle when he was a child, but was beaten by Durand Losing a baby tooth has something to do with it.

"No way, the Warcraft he wants this time is really rare, not only his caravan, but I haven't been able to find it after searching for a while." Seeing him raise his glass, Fraxis also raised his glass to meet him. Touched, "If you see Gege Beast, you must tell Durand, he will definitely pay a lot of money to buy it-who made his crush want to see what Gege Beast looks like so much?"

Hearing the term Grid Beast, Enbogle seemed to hesitate a bit, but he hesitated for a while, as if he still felt that inviting Fraxis was more attractive. "If it's just to see... Maybe I can help borrow a Gege, but it doesn't belong to me, so I'm not sure if it will work."

"Palat, do you know who owns the Peg Beast?" Fraxis looked at him in surprise, his sea-blue eyes were full of surprises, and he even called Embogle's name directly with some impoliteness, "As long as Just borrow it for a day or two, it would be great if you could help, thank you."

"It's just a little effort, but I don't guarantee that I will be able to borrow it." Enbogel was delighted with the change in his attitude, and carefully confirmed, "So... if you borrow Gege Beast, will you have more free time? , can you come to my manor to taste the red wine?"

"Oh, of course, I'm looking forward to the kind of wine you just mentioned that is brewed by the new brewing method. As long as I have time, I will definitely go there." Fraxis smiled at him, looking very sincere.

Even if the topic was covered like this, the atmosphere seemed to be very good, and they chatted for a few more words until a hand was placed on Fraxis' shoulder from behind.

Seeing Hadley in front of them, their expressions froze, and thinking about who would be so rude to put their shoulders together without saying hello, Fraxis could know who was coming without turning his head.He was too lazy to debate with Hampton on etiquette issues, so he reached out and brushed the hand on his shoulder away, turned his head to look at the increasingly familiar pair of black eyes, and showed a polite smile: "In the evening Alright, Knight Commander Brandon, I'm sorry you're late. Have you gone to say hello to His Majesty the King?"

"Of course, but he didn't seem to want to talk to me much, so I left by myself." The knight was not angry when he was coldly received, his eyes swept across the faces of the group of noble youths in front of him, and then he bowed his head to Fra Sith asked in a low voice, "You came to the banquet by yourself first... just to mingle with this group of guys who are incompetent at first sight?"

"Of course I have my reasons." Fraxis took a step back in displeasure, and also lowered his voice, "If you don't want to cause trouble to the temple, please spend this night peacefully."

"Where am I restless? When I came back from outside the city, I even changed into a dress. I have never been so decent in previous years." Hampton spread his hands, letting him take a good look at his clothes.

He was indeed well-groomed and handsome enough to win the hearts of most of the ladies present.Like Francis, he did not wear his own gown, opting instead for the formal attire of the Temple.The standard dress of the head of the Knights made him look as straight and handsome as a javelin, neither too rigid nor too casual. Compared with his usual appearance in the temple, he looked like two completely different people. personal.

But this was not very attractive to Fraxis, he looked at the knight's eyes, and smiled lukewarmly: "I'm glad that the knight commander has finally learned to establish a positive image for the temple in etiquette, please Keep it up."

"This is all for you. If Priest Moxi is here tonight, I don't have the intention to dress like this." Hampton's gaze paused on his tightly tied neckline, and his black eyes flicked A strange light flashed, "...As expected, the white robe is so boring to wear on anyone."

"Even if you say that, I won't be very happy, let alone express my gratitude for your 'compliment'." Fraxis turned around and bid farewell to the nobles, explaining that he still had some business to discuss with Hampton. , and then walked towards the small garden outside the banquet hall, "I have already completed today's task before you arrived, so you can go back after saying hello to the king. This is the best choice."

But now that Hampton is here, it would be good to find a secluded place to discuss the current progress. At least he doesn't have to stay in the banquet hall to deal with the greetings and chats that may come at any time, and he doesn't have to be forced to breathe noble ladies and ladies. It's a strange smell formed by the mixture of different fragrances on the body.
