Today Blue Dragon Family's station at Royal Capital is brightly lit.
The station has a special banquet building, which is nearly 30 meters high. The first floor is a hall dedicated to dining and dancing, with a height of 20 meters. The hall is surrounded by a circle of lounges. The lounges include guest rooms, reception rooms, Study, Recreation Room, which can meet the different needs of guests.
On one side of the hall, there is an eye-catching staircase leading to the second floor. The bottom step of the staircase is large and wide, and can be used as a place for the banquet host to speak.
Next to the steps is the orchestra pit, which is filled with various musical instruments. The musicians are all artists supported by the Blue Dragon Family. They usually live in the residence and are specially used to perform for large and small dances here. The remaining space is divided by a wide dancing area and a rest area with sofas and buffet tables.
Landen arrived at 5 o'clock and ate in the lounge area of the hall first. Most of the guests had not come at this time. Landen's could take more and it wouldn't look vulgar.
"Sir Viscount, you haven't returned to school in the past two days. Are you planning to stop reading after being knighted?" While Landen was eating quietly, Gleia suddenly came over and asked Landen.
"Teacher Gleia, thank you for your concern. There is no end to knowledge. I can't spare time at Royal Capital these days, and I really can't use my limited energy to explore unlimited knowledge." Landen explained with a wry smile, "I will go back to school after finishing the rehearsal tomorrow, and I will go to the library to study more in these days."
"You can't go far on the road of Transcendent without perseverance." Gleia stared at Landen with his golden eyes, and his tone was very sincere.
"Thank you for the reminder," Landen suddenly changed his tone, "I also want to thank you for your generous advice. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to dance soon?"
"Me?" Dragon Girl suddenly froze, his face a little red.
At this time, Landen noticed that Dragon Girl was wearing an exaggerated long skirt, which perfectly highlighted her strong and plump figure. Landen almost asked Dragon Girl if she had two bags containing flames.
The long skirt covered Gleia's thick tail. Landen It's hard to imagine how a 3-meter-long tail could be rolled up in this floor-length skirt. I just felt that without a beautiful tail, Dragon Girl's figure would not be revealed.
"Okay... Okay,... it's just... I'm not very good at dancing." Dragon Girl blushed and glanced to the side unconsciously.
"Neither can I" Landen said with a smile, hoping Dragon Girl would dispel his worries.
When it was almost 6 o'clock, there were more and more customers, most of them were older Baron or Viscount, and there were also many Blue Dragon Family business associates or old friends. Most of them came here to compliment themselves, and some wanted to discuss some business while others were together.
At this time, Landen probably understood Antrechi's intention of asking Landen to invite Gleia to dance.
It was as if there was a driving halo around Gleia. There was no one within two meters of it. Dragon Girl was accustomed to this. He just drank tea elegantly and silently, and did not take the initiative to chat with anyone.
Landen wanted to talk to Dragon Girl, but was stopped by a neighbor. This Tony·Donner·Gallop's Baron is the same family as Landen. Most of the family members live in Mangrove Island's Southeast Kingdom.
Landen has long heard about the Gallop Family. The biggest one now is Mangrove Island Marquis of the Southeast Kingdom. I didn't expect to meet it at Royal Capital.
"Seeing that Mr. Landen is as good as Intermediate Knight at such a young age, he is really a young talent of our Gallop Family." Tony·Donner is also an Intermediate Knight himself. He looks about the same age as Landen, but he doesn't hesitate to compliment others.
"No, I just relied on His Majesty's protection and my own luck." Landen didn't introduce his origins, and he didn't want to attract too much attention. He just wanted to say hello to Tony, but he didn't expect that Tony was very talkative.
"Landen Are you the local noble of the Dragon Kingdom? Then you must come to Mangrove Island as a guest when you find time." Tony chatted with excitement. "We Marquis are now the leaders of the Gallop Family and are willing to support tribesmen everywhere."
Mangrove Island Marquis has learned from the direction of Imperial Capital about the movements of Barbarian on Gallop Plains this year, and is now eager to find the local nobles to inquire about the news.
Gradually, the guests arrived. At this time, the chatter in the hall suddenly stopped. Everyone looked towards the steps. Legend Knight McLaren·Blue Dragon came down from the second floor to meet the guests.
"Dear guests, dear friends and relatives of the Blue Dragon Family, the New Year is approaching. As Duke of the Blue Dragon Family, I would like to thank you all for your support to the Blue Dragon Family over the past year. Take care and help." McLaren is still wearing his Gemstone blue dress, but there are more magic badges and decorations on the chest than last time. Under the light, these badges exude an expensive atmosphere.
"In the past year, from the beginning to the end of the year, although there were always crises, with everyone's joint efforts, we overcame the most difficult moments.
I believe that in the new year, we can continue to cooperate, so that our friendship will last forever and our foundation will last forever." Legend Knight raised his glass and said, "Everyone, pay tribute to His Majesty's 997 years."
"Salute" All the guests present raised their glasses to celebrate.
Then Legend Knight began to toast to the distinguished guests one by one, starting with Marquis who was present, and then Count.
Because it was Blue Dragon Family's dance to thank Imperial Capital's partners, Legend from other families did not come, but only sent first-level representatives from Marquis. The King family and White Owl Family were uniformly represented by the eldest son of White-Owl.
Today's King himself, Dusen·White-Owl, is Count in the north. His eldest son, Haboran·White-Owl, is now the actual person in charge of the northern Count leadership.
At the end of the toast, McLaren walked up to Landen, touched Landen specifically, and then introduced to everyone, "Gentlemen, this is Landen Gallop Viscount, Viscount Rothe from the northwest, and His Majesty who is about to be ennobled. Court Viscount is the new owner of Salt Mine on Gallop Plains!"
McLaren's words suddenly shocked all the guests. In the past 300 years, no human noble could win Gallop Plains Salt Mine. They didn't expect that Viscount in front of them could actually succeed.
"Landen Viscount understands justice and is willing to supply salt to the Kingdom in accordance with the contract made by our ancestors. In the future, the entire Kingdom will have a reliable supply of salt. Let us cheer to Landen Viscount!" Legend Knight's loud voice made Landen suddenly become the focus of the audience.
After drinking, Landen understood the deep meaning of McLaren. Although Salt and Iron Department and Barbarian had reached an agreement in the past, they could not come to the table in the end. They could only let the original Bob Viscount become a second-rate dealer.
Now that Landen has taken Salt Mine, Blue Dragon Family can use Landen to launder the entire inventory of Gallop Plains salt. In the future, those who know the truth privately will not be able to use this matter to manipulate Blue Dragon Family.
After drinking with Landen, Legend Knight returned to the stair area and announced that the dance had officially begun. Then he invited one of his wives to dance first and then left.
"Congratulations Landen Viscount" After McLaren left, the first person to come up to congratulate was Tony·Donner·Gallop, Tony was eager to know Landen How big a piece of Gallop Plains has he taken now? Is he the real owner of Gallop? "I wonder what Mr. Viscount's future plans are? When do you plan to recover Night-Kirin City?"
"Look what you said, it's not easy for me to supply salt now. I also have to protect Salt Mine. Where can I find the energy to explore and recover Night-Kirin?" After Landen and Legend toasted, they had already thought of various words that might reduce other people's interest in themselves.
"Gallop Plains is the hometown of the entire Gallop Family. If Landen Viscount needs family support, you must tell me." Tony was extremely sincere at this moment, holding Landen's hand tightly, "I can't say more, but we can still send a few Archmage."
"Thank you very much. I will make statistics when I get back here and let you know the results once I have them!" Landen also held Tony tightly and said nonsense sincerely. He had been in the workplace for a few years, and if he wanted to play football and slow down the progress, he would just open his mouth.
This Tony is also a veteran. Just hearing Landen's words didn't feel right. Just when he was about to continue playing hard, Landen was rescued by Antrechi.
"Tony Knight, Landen Viscount I still have something to discuss..." Antrechi looked at Tony with a smile.
"Ah, of course." In front of the Blue Dragon Family's new generation of talents, Tony didn't dare to make any mistakes.
In the rest area, a group of the Blue Dragon Family women were pointing at Gleia in a low voice.
"Look at that pureblood Dragonborn, she's so tall, how can anyone dare to ask her to dance?"
"That's right, I heard that she has a big tail behind her. It's probably wrapped around her legs now and she can't even walk."
"Keep your voices down, I heard she is about to have a breakthrough."
"So what, our child is almost Great Knight, she can still come and beat me?"
As Dragon Mage who is about to break through High-Rank, Gleia hears these fly-like buzzing sounds very clearly, but dismisses them. After inspiring Bloodline, Bloodline's talent far exceeds that of her peers, so she has suffered too much criticism.
The only reason why she hasn't left here today is because someone wants to ask her to dance. This is the first time since she broke through to the intermediate level.
"Miss Gleia, can you please dance?" Landen walked up to Gleia and invited with the most standard etiquette.
"Of course" Gleia agreed with a smile, put his hand on Landen's hand, and the two then walked hand in hand to the dance area.
"Is anyone really invited?"
"It's that Viscount. He's a very nice young man. He doesn't have any eyesight, and he's not afraid of being thrown out."
Both Landen and Gleia ignored the gossip and danced very seriously, trying not to be stepped on by the other party.
No matter how elegant you are before you dance, you still have to be extra careful when you actually dance.
"Ah, I'm sorry." No matter how careful you are, Gleia's tail will still hit people around you.
"I'll invite you to dance on Grassland when I get the chance. When I'm on Gallop Plains, I always dance away, so no one will touch anyone." Landen looked at Gleia, wanting to say something to ease the situation.
"That may not be in line with the original intention of dancing," Gleia smiled, "But in that case, how many people will be needed for the band?"
"There is no band in our territory. Half of the people dance and the other half sing."
"Haha, I have heard your barbarian songs," Gleia recalled the scene in Northwest Territory not long ago. "By the way, Lord Viscount."
"If you can, please call me Landen. You are already at Great Knight. There is no need to call me like that." Landen felt that he and the dragon lady in front of him were gradually adapting to dance music. At least they did not step on each other in the last four eight beats.
"Okay, Landen Knight, can you take me with you when you go back to school tomorrow? It would be too conspicuous if I flew back by myself." Gleia was a little embarrassed. The school and her family generally did not arrange a carriage for her, and she relied on magic to fly back and forth.
"Of course, I'm going to Dragon Terrace Mountain tomorrow afternoon to see my boss, and then I'll come here to pick you up." Landen is very happy to be with Long Niang when she goes back to school.
"One more thing, I am not Knight, I am Dragon Mage," Gleia is very concerned about other people's understanding of her profession.
"Ah, I heard that you can fight 4 Barbarian Cavalry with your bare hands."
"That's simply because they are too weak." Dragon Lady's explanation was very convincing. Landen even felt the tail under her skirt move happily.
After the song ended, the dancers came down to rest one after another. Landen and Gleia also came down. Landen, who had completed his task, was ready to go home. He had to get up early to go to the Royal Palace's rehearsal tomorrow.
