At the same time, in the distant Radiant Continent, due to the time difference caused by the great distance, it was already evening. In a while, night would fall.
In the room, Jia 'er looked at the last rays of the setting sun and glanced at the clock on the wall.""It's already past six o'clock... It's time to set off... Roy!”
"I'm here, Master." Luo Yi, who was at the side, bowed.
"Is everything ready?"
"No problem, Master!"
"Then let's set off…"
"Understood!"
Then, the two of them left the room, went downstairs, and went out of the hall to the main road of the manor.
There was already a luxurious and elegant carriage parked on the main road. The one pulling the carriage was not the unicorn from before, but an even rarer Light Feather Unicorn.
The unicorn was snow-white and had a pair of angelic white wings. One could even see specks of light falling from the wings, making it look holy and noble.
However, at this moment, it was only used to pull a carriage. Countless people were envious of it. This was a treatment that ordinary emperors did not have. After all, this kind of unicorn was indeed extremely rare. Moreover, this kind of unicorn had an extremely arrogant temper. If it was not willing to kill it, it would not let others ride or pull a carriage.
At this moment, the Light Feather Unicorn was unusually obedient. It obediently stood on the carriage that was tied to the back with a special rope. There was no arrogance in its eyes, but a kind of pride.
It seemed that not only did it not feel ashamed to be the one pulling the carriage, but it was also something that made it very proud. Or rather, it was something to be proud of to be the one pulling Garland's carriage.
Garland quickly came to the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, Garland patted it.""Xiao Bai, I won't mistreat you if you follow me…"
Lulu--
Hearing this, Little White snorted excitedly, and the pride in its eyes became even more obvious.
In fact, after being caught by Garland by accident, it was very unconvinced. It even wanted to commit suicide, but it was not easy for the " human " who caught it. However, after Garland released the special dragon power of the Holy Dragon, it immediately became obedient and willing.
After all, it was a Holy Dragon. It was a once-in-a-million-years opportunity to follow a Holy Dragon. One had to know that the highest "achievement" of their race was to follow a Light Dragon. It followed a Holy Dragon, and its name would definitely be engraved in the history books of their race in the future for the later beasts to admire.
The more it thought about this, the happier it became. These days, it could even wake up from its dreams with a smile. This was really the manifestation of the dawn light. It seemed that its usual prayers were not in vain.
After Garland got on the carriage, Roy also entered the carriage. Little White spread its white wings and soared into the sky. As it flapped its wings, a large amount of white light sprinkled down, and even the carriage was enveloped in a layer of light fog. It was like a dream.
"Hmm…isn't this too arrogant? No…why worry about this? It's normal for a Duke like me to have these things, right? Should he bring the Duke's Badge in directly…or wait for that guy to find trouble before taking it out? " Or…" In the carriage high up in the sky, Jia 'er kept thinking in her heart.
Little White's speed was not slow. It only took about half an hour to cover the distance of tens of thousands of kilometers.
Night had fallen, and they were now in Luoxi City.
Little White descended and landed on the main road. The people outside the city naturally stopped and looked at the carriage with their mouths wide open. Even the guards were no exception. However, they were mainly looking at Little White pulling the carriage in front.
Whitey pulled the carriage and entered the city under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, it took them about ten minutes to arrive at the residence of Duke Povalen.
That's right, it was a mansion. It was a vast, oriental mansion. There was even a plaque on the door that read,"Povalen Mansion".
The door was wide open, and the interior was brightly lit. All kinds of luxurious carriages and luxury cars were parked outside the mansion. However, no matter how luxurious they were, they instantly paled in comparison when Little White pulled the carriage out.
In the night, Little White was emitting a layer of hazy light as it walked towards the mansion's main entrance. Whether it was the carriage, vehicles, or pedestrians, all of them stopped when they saw Little White and gave them a 'gaze salute'.
Little White held its head high and puffed out its chest. Its eyes were filled with pride, and it looked as if the words " a group of mortals " were written on its face.
Xiao Bai pulled the car to the front gate. Roy got out of the car and opened the curtain. After Jia 'er got out of the car, he walked forward and handed the invitation card to the man at the door."Here, this is my master's invitation.”
"Uh…Ah? Alright…alright! Please come in, Your Excellency the Duke!" The man subconsciously took the invitation card and came back to his senses. He also saw who it was. Without looking at it, he hurriedly made a gesture of "please". The hidden arrogance in front of others disappeared without a trace. His posture was as humble as it could be.
Jia 'er patted Little White and turned to Roy.""Just you wait."
"Understood, Master." Roy bowed.
The few nobles and wealthy businessmen who had just gotten off the car were surprised at first when they saw Garland get off the car, but then they understood, as if they knew who he was.
Then, a marquis led them forward and greeted them,"" Good evening. We pay our respects to you, Your Excellency the Duke…Please allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Bogel…"
Following that, the remaining nobles and merchants introduced themselves in turn.
Jia 'er stopped and greeted him,""Good evening, everyone. I think tonight will be a wonderful night…"
"I think so too. After all, today is the birthday of the honorable Miss Angelina.”Bogel replied with a smile.
"Let's go, everyone. It's almost time. It's not good to be late…"
With that, he took the lead and walked through the main door. Borgar and the others followed closely behind. The group quickly entered an open-air courtyard in the mansion. The tables inside were already filled with people, gathered in twos and threes, talking. The tables were also filled with all kinds of delicacies, and there were also young girls dressed as maids serving the dishes.
After Garland entered, the nobles and wealthy merchants who saw him would take the initiative to greet him, and he would respond politely.
If it was a coincidence before, he now understood the intention of Garcus. It was Targulus Thirty-Two. Garcus was his real name, and Targulus Thirty-Two was just his name as the emperor of the country.
While he was waiting, he accidentally saw Melbourne guy, but he didn't seem to notice him. He probably didn't expect him to appear here. The lowest rank that could appear here was an Earl or a wealthy merchant in the Empire.
After a while, it was seven o'clock, and Duke Povalen finally appeared with Angelina.
However, he was different from most of the guests. He was not wearing a formal dress or anything else, but an ancient purple robe from the East. Beside him, Angelina was also wearing an ancient blue dress. Coupled with her beautiful face, she looked like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Everyone present, including Garland, was not surprised, just like how his residence was not a manor but a mansion, because everyone more or less knew about it.
Duke Bovalen was a first-class archduke, and there were only three first-class archdukes in the entire Riedon Empire. Even in times of war, it was difficult to be conferred the title of first-class archduke, let alone in times of peace. Every one of them was an existence that was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people.
Duke Povalen was a person who loved Eastern culture, and he was a Conferred Saint Domain expert. Therefore, some of the people present had specially dressed up in Eastern attire to cater to him.
Of course, the other two archdukes were also present. After all, she was Duke Povalen's only daughter and the only descendant of his bloodline. He was also the strongest of the three dukes, so the other two archdukes naturally gave him face.
However, it seemed like Garcus had something important to attend to and did not come. Otherwise, as the Emperor of a country, he would definitely come.
Duke Bovalen cupped his fists at everyone present and said,""Thank you for coming to my daughter's birthday party! I'm really honored that everyone can come. Everyone…"
What followed was a long string of nonsense, but naturally, no one was annoyed, nor did they dare to be annoyed. They all stood and listened obediently. No one dared to say anything. After all, this was one of the top big shots in the empire.
After a long while, Duke Povalen finally finished his speech."Alright, everyone, let's not waste any more time! Everyone, have a good meal at my place tonight! Drink well!"
His words sounded like he was from the martial arts world. From this detail, it could be seen that Duke Povalen really liked Eastern culture. According to this world, it was the " Xianlin culture."
Pa, pa, pa--
When he finished speaking, the audience naturally applauded.
After that, they sat down and started chatting again. The courtyard became lively again.
As time passed, some wealthy merchants or aristocrats would go over to toast from time to time, and then give their carefully selected gifts.
"Oh? Isn't this Mr. Jia 'er? You…why are you here?" Garland was also thinking about the time to send gifts when a slightly familiar voice came from behind him. The voice was full of playfulness.
He turned his head slightly and saw from the corner of his eye that it was indeed Melbourne. He smiled and said,"If you can come, why can't I?”
"I'm an Earl, and you…" Melbourne sneered.
"Your Excellency! Is this what you should say to a noble duke?”But before he could finish, Marquis Bogel, who was sitting at the same table, stood up and frowned.
"Duke? What a joke! " He…" Melbourne turned to the man. When he saw the marquis medal on the man's body, he shut his mouth, but his face was still filled with disbelief.
"Oh, I'm sorry everyone…I just became a duke yesterday, so I'm not used to it. I forgot to wear my medal.”
As he spoke, Garland took out an item in his hand. It was the gold medal that represented the status of a third grade duke. He wore it on his left chest unhurriedly.
" This…this…how is this possible?!" Upon seeing this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Other than the one sitting at this table, the other tables nearby also noticed this. After they saw the situation, they looked at Melbourne with a mocking and gloating attitude.
"Your Excellency, I think you should apologize quickly and seek the Duke's forgiveness.”Bogel spoke again.
Although he was reluctant, there were so many people watching. Besides, Jia 'er was indeed a duke now. He could not afford to offend him.
After hesitating for a moment, he stammered," I'm…I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Duke. It's me who…failed to recognize Mount Tai. I've offended you in the past. Please…Please forgive me…"
" Actually... I don't mind..." Jia 'er was very casual in the face of his apology.
The hidden meaning in his words was obvious-Jia 'er had never cared about him.
After hearing this, Melbourne 'expression changed. In the end, he could only leave dejectedly. He was even too ashamed to stay any longer. He directly asked Duke Povalen to leave the banquet in advance.
