Chapter 675 (1/2)
Early in the morning, outside the corridor of the red blood Castle palace, the calm red blood Castle housekeeper was very serious to confirm the final matter with the black haired wizard.
”According to the ancient custom of Byrne, you should enter the door under the attention of all the Knights present and accept the loyalty of all knights, especially the 13 Knight lords, in front of the round table.”
”Finally, the oldest Knight will present you a golden cup full of wine - this is also one of Byrne's traditions. Drink the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then raise one hand above your head to accept the cheers of all Knights...”
At this point, Charles frowned slightly: ”let me remind you that this link is generally a small means used by the Earls to express their dissatisfaction and test the Duke himself.”
”No matter how big the cup is, no matter how strong the wine is, it must be drunk in one gulp... This is tradition.”
”Small means?”
”Yes, Roland the 'black Duke' once met; when he succeeded to the throne, the bosiwar family of qiaowang peak specially forged a gold cup the size of a washbasin to express their dissatisfaction... To say more, the gold cup is still placed in the palace hall of qiaowang peak.”
”...” Loren Turin.
”This year's sommelier should be count angert of the mountain rock castle. Considering the 'friendly' relationship between you and him...” the housekeeper shook his head and looked at him sympathetically:
”Anyway... You'd better be ready.”
The dark haired wizard couldn't help rolling his eyes.
With that, Charles bowed to leave; When I left, I didn't forget to glance at the little wizard sitting on the side, and then slowly turned and left.
In the quiet corridor, only Lauren and ayin were left.
”So you're going to be a Duke?” whispered the little wizard sitting on the chair with his legs tilted, and his blue eyes looked at the black haired wizard dressed in robes and armed.
”Yes.”
”Nervous?”
”OK.”
”Are you afraid?”
”... a little,”
”Regret?”
“……”
With a slight frown, Loren sighed, and a bitter smile burst out from the corners of his mouth: ”maybe you were right... I shouldn't have promised Brandon to come to Byrne.”
”At that time, we had the opportunity to go to eboden, or simply go back to lottel directly; shenlinbao or vimpar can, and maybe we can visit Leia or others in the morning star forest...”
”Nonsense.” with a sneer, the little wizard interrupted him:
”Even if you go back to college, you restless guy will still make a lot of things in the end!”
The black haired wizard spread his hands helplessly.
”There's nothing to regret, Loren; this is your way, and you should keep going.” he got up slowly, and Ayn raised his hands and gently pressed his shoulder:
”If Dean Peter knows all this, he will be proud of you; Isaac will probably be crazy with jealousy? And Leia, ruwen, master freswalker, master corona, Ariel... They will be happy for you.”
”No matter how far you go, you will never... Never be alone.”
Looking at the stunned black haired wizard, the crafty little wizard raised the corners of his mouth and patted him on the cheek: ”don't let Charlotte down... She really sacrificed too much for you.”
”Go.”
The dark haired wizard raised his eyes and walked towards the end of the corridor.
Never look back.
In the hot summer sun, all the knights who came to watch the ceremony had stood outside the palace hall, and the roads from the steps to the exit were crowded with a flood of people.
Only a passage for two or three people to pass at the same time was left, extending all the way to the palace gate.
With a deep breath, the solemn looking Loren Turin swung his cloak and set foot on the road to the palace hall.
The sonorous and powerful steps beat the crisp echo on the bluestone board.
Countless eyes greeted him from both sides and constantly converged on his figure; From head to toe, every detail, every pore and action are looked at by these eyes.
The murmur was heard in the crowd, like a beast lurking in the jungle, exposed under the keen insight of the dark haired wizard.
