After a while, Dick returned to the table after admiring the oil paintings on the palace wall.
"Kebi?"
Dick saw that only Kebi and a few servants were left here, and asked in surprise, "Where has the queen gone?"
"She went to notify Prince James in person and will be back soon. Dick..."
"What's wrong? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Can you leave the weapons you have with me for safekeeping?"
Seeing Dick not speaking, Kebi felt a sense of guilt in his heart. Just when his thoughts were confused...
The close friend opposite responded calmly:
"Okay."
After speaking, he looked directly into Kebi's eyes, took off the weapons on his body one by one, and placed them on the long table.
Finally, he took off his space pocket and handed it to Kebi, who looked dull.
But halfway through handing it over, Dick suddenly smiled, took out a gold necklace from his pocket, and put it into his arms:
"This necklace is my gift to Xiya, but I can't leave it all to you for safekeeping. Are you relieved now?"
Kebi was speechless for a moment, Dick patted him on the shoulder:
"You are now a knight of Her Majesty the Queen, and I understand your approach. Don't worry, I said I would not do anything extraordinary."
Kebi's fingers rested on the cold scabbard for a moment. This action reminded both of them of the scene when Dick used the silver sword to block Drowner's claws for him at Odinburg.
In the end, he just silently handed over the weapon, and the clear sound when the metal hit the table was like the sound of Drowner's sharp claws scratching through the armor that day.
Hand the weapon handed over by Dick to the servant behind you, and instruct him to keep it properly;
Both of them looked relaxed and chatted some more.
Gradually, a large number of servants appeared and began to serve delicious food and decorate the banquet scene.
Not long after, guests entered the palace one after another.
Kebi, as the queen's knight, has the duty to bid farewell to Dick temporarily and go to greet those distinguished noble guests.
Dick sat alone on a bench in the corner, lost in thought.
At this time, the original 200 Energy Points on the panel bar has disappeared, and the Signs Hypnosis skills have also changed.
[Hypnosis] (Professional level): It can temporarily Hypnosis people with strong wills and ordinary monsters. The duration of Hypnosis is related to the opponent's will and mental strength.
He took out a piece of letterhead from his sleeve and carefully read the contents on the yellowed page.
While he was thinking, the sound of footsteps gradually became clearer, and someone stopped in front of him.
Dick When he put the letter back into his sleeve and raised his head, what came into view was a man wearing high boots and a smart black outfit.
He has long, dark black hair, delicate facial features, and is extremely handsome.
Dick subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, and couldn't help but feel a trance in his heart. The appearance he had always been proud of seemed to have lost its former glory in front of the man in front of him.
The man stretched out his hand gracefully and said in a pleasant voice:
"You must be Mr. Dick, the grand leader of Witcher Order, right? I hope I didn't disturb your thoughts."
"Of course not."
Dick stood up and held the man's hand politely and gently. The moment the palms of the hands touched, he noticed that the man's hands were covered with thick calluses and thought to himself that this was a skilled practitioner who had experienced many battles.
But the man's left hand held a dark steel staff, so he probably wasn't a swordsman.
Seeing Dick's surprised expression, the man smiled politely and explained, "My name is Vigo, and I am a warlock."
"So you are Vigo! Barbara once mentioned you to me, and the Queen also praised you highly, saying that you are a rare example of magic and martial arts among warlocks."
"They are aliens."
Vigo snorted softly. There was a hint of disdain in this snort that was not easily noticeable, but coming from his mouth, it seemed extremely decent.
"I am a warlock raised by a druid. I know some druid spells, just like [Misty Mountains Berserker]. I can transform into animals, but I can only transform into a Coyote."
"Druid is indeed a magical profession.
"I sometimes think that if I have free time, I really want to go to Druid Circle in the southern countries to see the world, and maybe I can get the careful teachings of those druids." Dick said with emotion.
"Those druids, to be honest, are very stubborn. If you live with them, you will definitely not be able to stand it.
"They are like elves, dedicated to guarding nature. Even cutting down branches of a tree must strictly follow a specific time."
"That's really interesting. I've never seen Noldor Elves before. Maybe if I meet those druids, I can indirectly understand Noldor Elves's habits."
Dick made a very cold joke.
Unexpectedly, Vigo laughed out loud, as if the joke was very funny.
"Tomorrow we will meet up with the army and wait for the arrival of Manslayer.
"When the time comes, the two of us work together, maybe we can kill Manslayer directly." When Vigo said this, his back was straight, and his tone was extremely confident.
"We naturally have to obey the Queen's orders. After all, the matter of military formation is not a professional matter for extraordinary people.
"However, if we really have a one-on-one challenge with Manslayer, I believe that the two of us will be able to defeat him if we work together."
"That's what I think too. How about we have a couple of drinks first and have a nice chat?" Vigo suggested.
Dick was about to respond when a clear and sweet female voice suddenly came from behind Vigo: "Dick, long time no see."
Dick looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with bright eyes and brown-black hair hanging in front of her body. She was wearing a decent dress and standing on the red carpet a few meters away with a smile on her face.
"Oh, it turns out that Ms. Xiya is here." Vigo nodded slightly and said with a smile, "In that case, I won't disturb you two."
After saying that, he bowed gracefully again, then held the staff and slowly walked towards a noble in the distance.
Before Vigo left, Xiya kept his head down, behaved reservedly, and stood quietly.
It wasn't until Vigo was far away that she suddenly lifted up her skirt and ran towards Dick. The scent of roses in her hair drew colorful arcs in the air with her movements, and the ladylike manners that had been corrected repeatedly in etiquette classes were now broken into powder.
Her eyes wandered back and forth on Dick's face, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
Seeing Xiya again, Dick felt a deep warmth in his heart.
During this period of time, he has experienced a significant increase in strength and experienced many ups and downs. His originally fiery heart seems to have become a little cold.
But at this moment, seeing the woman in front of him, the movements of his palms preceded his reasoning. When his fingertips touched the gently trembling butterfly bone on her back;
[Super Self-Healing] The soul that cannot be cured - the dull pain that has been deliberately suppressed for the past month, is longing for this healing technique with the fragrance of roses.
Xiya The fingertips embedded in the gaps in the light armor suddenly tightened, as if to confirm whether the body was complete.
She finally buried her face in the crook of his neck and said in a breathy voice that only the two of them could hear, "You have lost a lot of weight."
Dick's Adam's apple rolled and stuck to the top of her hair: ''Xiya, I really miss you."
