"This this?"
"There is also that mercenary, Captain Lev. Knowing that he is capable, the Grand Duke quickly recruited him."
"I know!"
The middle-aged nobles talked about the new changes in the political situation of the empire, while the young nobles publicized their spirit and youth.
"Really, Baron Peron?"
"Yes, ma'am. You should have seen, when I stood before Seger with sword in hand, and the enemies scattered like ants, you should have seen.
"Oh my God!"
"How brave!"
The ladies around wide-eyed as the twenty-something nobles who fought began to rant about their legends.
Lin Qing, who was standing in the center of the hall, immediately laughed when he saw this scene.
I thought this banquet would be a little different because it was held in the Holy Empire.
But nothing different.
He is disappointed.
The banquet hall is full of grandeur and solemnity, just like a banquet held in the Bar Locke Empire.
The music is more serious, no drunk aristocrats.
"It looked like everything was the same except where we lived.
He wouldn't have gone there if it wasn't for Reina.
Those who were jealous of him kept staring at him.
Sure enough, there are not a few people who are jealous of him.
"Quack! That, isn't he the captain, Lev? The one who disintegrates the meteor that falls from the sky."
A man who recognized Lin Qing asked, when a nobleman in front of him snorted and said.
"Hmph, ridiculous story, he must be bragging about something."
"Yes, this matter is too ridiculous."
Most of the nobles who did not participate in the war are trying to discredit Lin Qing's reputation.
They won't believe what they haven't seen with their own eyes.
But some, like Count Marcus, twisted the story.
"What's the use of giving a piece of land? Things like this should be left to people who know how to handle them. But to people who know nothing but weapons, they won't care at all
Regardless of whether Marcus hums or not, Lin Qing is waiting there for Leina to show up.
Just when he was bored, Lin Qing wanted to bully the bat on his shoulder.
"Ah! Master, stop! If my identity is leaked... what do you want me to do?"
-Under Lin Qing's prank, Bell, who lost his balance, flapped his wings and protested telepathically.
- it's ok no one can see you
- no, but even so... oops! don't! stop teasing me!
Lin Qing checked Bell's skills during the day, only to find out that something happened to the vampire assassin.
He thought he was cultivating divine power, but the reason was unknown, but it was clear that divine power could coexist with witchcraft.
The power of the devil?
If it were known, it could turn the world upside down.
But thanks to this, Bell Phil was able to enter the temple without any problem.
Just as Lin Qing was teasing Bell, a young woman's voice came into his ears.
"My God, oh, is that a bat?"
"Some say they are not carnivores, but in reality, they are good gingers that eat pests and mosquitos.
"Really? Look carefully, it's quite cute."
Lin Qing's pet made a nasty impression on the shining eyes of the lady who stared at it.
But seeing that it was a little bat, her face softened, and that bat was full of divine power.
"Can I touch it?"
- please tell her not to touch it
"Of course, touch it, it's so cute!"
With Lin Qing's permission, the woman reached out and started patting Bell.
Bell really wanted to run away, wanted to show that he didn't like it, but Lin Qing held him down with his fingers.
"Look! It's struggling!"
"It's cute! I want to touch it too."
"Me too!"
When one lady started touching it, the surrounding ladies started noticing it and approached Lin Qing to ask permission to pet Bell.
The descendants of the vampire clan were humiliated by human women......
Bell Phil writhed with a stiff face.
But, when he did, the women seemed to like it even more.
In the end, it was decided that doing nothing in this situation was the best outcome.
Lin Qing was very happy to see Bell's embarrassed face.
Just when he didn't want to stay in the banquet hall and went to the balcony to enjoy the cool breeze, someone asked, "Aren't you Lev from Albertville Manor?"
Lin Qing's eyes drifted to a dozen or so nobles who asked him.
Most of them are in their fifties...
"Yes, but?"
"Hahaha, I am Telman, the central knight order of the Volga Kingdom. I have a good relationship with your father Belik."
"Ah, is that so?"
Lin Qing took a clear look at the old nobleman.
He was wearing a tuxedo, but it didn't look quite right for the man.
And because he has long since stopped fighting on the battlefield, the calluses that might have formed have long since disappeared.
"I don't know what kind of person he is, but he may not even be considered a swordsman now."
Just when Lin Qing was judging him, Baron Thalman approached Lin Qing and spoke.
々I only saw you once when you were a baby. I know you will find great success in life.
"You had a duel with the high-ranking swordsman Schmidt?"
"Sure enough, he is the son of Flamestorm Belik, what else can we expect from him?"
While Lin Qing stayed there kindly, other nobles began to approach him kindly.
Some even patted him on the shoulder, looking famous.
Victor and Pavel told Lin Qing that when the Volga Kingdom showed signs of extinction, nobles fled the kingdom.
Some of those fleeing nobles immigrated to the Holy Arthurian Empire with their wealth before the country perished, and lived a comfortable life.
But in the few short years since then, they have descended from a life of luxury to a life of mediocrity, and have the audacity to write letters to Peter II and Princess Raina, asking them to create an embarrassing situation and help them get over (Wang Wang) Qian Zhao) got out of trouble.
"The rumor that I belonged to the Volga must have spread far and wide."
"This time the nobles are going to engage in the 'Revival of the Volga Kingdom', and you, you will lead, you, you!"
Terman was seriously trying to get Lin Qing into the game when suddenly he seemed shocked.
Victor, wearing a paladin uniform, walked over.
"It's been a long time, Terman."
"Victor, Sir Victor? It was rumored that you were in the Locke Empire, you, why are you here?"
"Shouldn't I be in the Holy Empire? You're a baron? You sold your money and your empire for it, right?"
"That, it doesn't look like..."
"I will never let Lev join your useless group, so don't bother busy people and fuck off!"
"Hi!"
Seeing Victor's cold expression, the self-exiled nobles of the Volga River moved to another part of the banquet hall. .
