City Guards?
Why are these people here to join in the fun?
At first, Count Dulin thought that the commotion caused by Liz when she arrested Sima had attracted the nearby city guards who were on routine patrol.
But there was one person, wearing exquisite light armor engraved with silver patterns. Although his figure was not tall and burly in the tradition, his lean body still gave people a sense of power.
Coupled with the weather-beaten face, he suddenly looked extremely capable, and it was obvious at a glance that he was a powerful warrior who had been on the battlefield.
There is probably only one such extremely charming middle-aged handsome uncle in the entire Huodian City.
"Commander Harvey, why are you here?"
Earl Dulin quickly stood up from his seat. This was a treatment that Liz did not receive at the beginning.
After all, in the eyes of Count Dulin, one is just a little girl with nothing to show for her appearance, but the other is a true legend in Fire Code City, holding the strongest power of the Fire Code Knights.
"I received reports from enthusiastic citizens that there are criminals disturbing the public order here. As you know, Mr. Du Lin, Huodian City has been experiencing major incidents one after another in the past few days, so for your safety, I came here to lead a team to see look."
Cough...Pfft...
After Harvey's words, Teddy couldn't hold back and coughed to cover up his laughter.
What a caring citizen!
As the only person present who knew the whole story, Teddy was left with infinite emotion in his heart. Although Teddy knew that the relationship between the two was different when his eldest brother showed him Harvey's necklace the night before.
But... I didn't expect that the eldest brother would have such a strong relationship with Harvey, and he would call him whenever he asked!
Teddy knew it deep down, but others didn't.
Of course, they didn't believe Harvey's nonsense about "enthusiastic citizens reporting".
Not only was Count Dulin's brain spinning rapidly to determine Harvey's intention at the moment, but so was Liz.
The Knights have always been neutral and will not favor any party. This is the purpose of the Fire Code Knights. The knight's sword is only for the people of the entire Fire Code City.
But having said that, people's hearts will inevitably change, even for Harvey, the Knight Commander and Commander-in-Chief.
So, could it be said that...
Liz's eyes suddenly lit up.
Is it the father?
After he was kidnapped, his father was furious and mobilized all his forces to put pressure on the Knights. Faced with the anger of an earl, even Harvey had to pay attention.
And after learning that he had reappeared at the banquet, Harvey would rush over to check on himself without stopping?
Miss Liz's set of reasonable thoughts allowed her to analyze what happened in her imagination in just two or three seconds.
So after this...
This is an opportunity!
The eldest lady has a very clever mind.
Liz didn't expect Harvey to speak for her. She only needed to create the appearance that Harvey was on her side, which was enough to put pressure on Count Dulin and force him to re-sign the gambling contract with Vivian.
As soon as she thought of this, Liz immediately rushed towards Harvey.
"Sir Harvey, I'm so sorry, my father bothered you to come here specially for me."
Liz seemed to be apologizing, but in fact she was invisibly showing her position and relationship with Harvey to the nobles on Count Dulin's side.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Count Dulin's expression changed a bit.
Because indeed, it seemed that besides Liz, there was no one else present who could bring Harvey to the scene in person.
Unexpectedly, this yellow-haired girl actually used her kidnapping to tie Harvey into her camp...
hateful!
When Count Dulin cursed in his heart.
How could you have expected...
"Who are you?" Harvey asked the beautiful young girl in front of him who took the initiative to talk to him.
She looks familiar, but I can't remember her name at the moment. She must be the daughter of a big noble, right?
There was silence for a while.
The smile on Liz's lips froze in embarrassment.
But as a eldest lady, she still has the ability to adapt to situations.
"Lord Harvey, my name is Liz, and my father is Earl Thistle. I received your blessing at the coming-of-age ceremony not long ago."
When Liz said this, Harvey showed a look of reminiscence, and soon nodded to Liz as if he finally remembered.
"It turns out to be Miss Liz. I'm sorry, a rough guy has a bad memory. I hope Miss Li won't be offended."
"Huh? So you've successfully escaped, right? It seems like there's no need to waste the power of the city guards looking for you. Come on."
After Harvey finished speaking calmly, he called his subordinates to convey the order to withdraw the search and rescue forces.
It could be heard that the tone towards Liz was not very friendly.
This is not surprising.
Harvey didn't have a good impression of the pedantic nobles. As a member of the nobles, Liz was no exception. Especially today, almost half of the city's guard force was asked to find an earl's daughter. Although Harvey didn't It’s easy to say anything, but actually I’m bored at the bottom of my heart.
Just like the original intention of the Fire Code Knights, the Knight's Sword is for the people of the entire Fire Code City, rather than as a domestic private soldier of a single noble.
Harvey never forgot this.
And this is actually the reason why he really appears here.
Looking across Liz, Harvey set his sights on a little girl who was sitting upright, as if the light had been covered up since Liz appeared on the stage, and she was always in the back, with a very low sense of presence.
"Vivian."
Without contrast, there is no harm.
Harvey took the initiative to call the little girl's name, and then walked over quickly under the eyes of everyone.
"How are you? Are you okay? Is the fundraising going well? Have you been bullied by others?" Three questions in one breath.
Harvey looked concerned, as if he was a very protective elder.
Vivian showed a surprised expression at first, and then quickly shook her head subconsciously.
"No...it's okay, it's just in the middle...no, it's nothing. Anyway, thanks to Liz's help, everything is fine now. We are discussing with everyone."
Although the little girl said so, it was not difficult for Harvey to deduce from Vivian's pause in the middle and her somewhat shocked and dejected look that these nobles must not have let Vivian go. An, maybe some dirty trick was used.
snort.
Harvey snorted.
Like an old father who saw his daughter being bullied.
Then I saw the chief commander of the Fire Code Knights directly moving a chair, deliberately making a loud noise on the way.
With a bang, he placed the chair next to Vivian, and sat down with the force of a sword.
"On such an important occasion, I, Harvey, am personally responsible for the safety here. You don't need to pay attention to me, just continue with your work."
this...
The nobles on Earl Dulin's side, you look at me, I look at you, it's not difficult to see that everyone's face is far from the relaxed and comfortable look they had before.
On the other hand, on Vivian's side, Teddy just barely clapped her hands and applauded, while Liz...
Wait a minute, Liz...
It was obviously beneficial to his side, but at this time, the earl's daughter pursed her lips, lowered her eyes slightly with her head.
"Liz, are you okay?" Vivian was very keenly aware of the strange behavior of the young lady around her.
The little girl looked concerned and pulled Liz's little hand.
"No...it's okay." Lifting her face covered by her hair, the young lady forced a smile.
But in fact, Liz's other hand, which was not pulled up by Vivian, was clenched into a fist a little tighter.
No one expected that Harvey came after Vivian.
When she thought about the thought she had just made and the corresponding performance, Liz felt like a clown.
It was obvious that the young lady's self-esteem had been slightly affected.
However.
What Liz didn't expect was that this was just the beginning of tonight's "injury".
If Harvey's incident is just a "little" blow, then the next incident...
For Liz, that's really...
Billion points.
The temperature in the banquet venue suddenly increased a lot, and a feeling of heat spread on everyone's skin.
Just when everyone was at a loss.
The source of the rising temperature was soon found.
On the empty stage in the center of the banquet, a spiral flame suddenly rose from the ground, startling the nobles nearby.
But fortunately, the flames surged, but strangely, nothing was ignited.
The scene quickly stabilized.
Because the people sitting here are all nobles with some status and considerable knowledge, the only ones who can cause this phenomenon are the mages of the Vulcan Sect.
Of course, it has to be a very powerful one.
Then it turned out to be true.
It ends when the spiraling flames finally disappear.
Instead, a handsome young mage walked quickly out of the afterglow of the fireworks.
To be able to appear in such a coquettish way.
No second person could be found in Huodian City.
"Da...Damir?" Count Dulin was dumbfounded and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Even Teddy, who knew the script, opened his mouth wide, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then identified one of the few young men who, besides his eldest brother, could make Teddy ashamed in terms of appearance.
Isn't it?
Really...really invited this great god here?
However, compared to the other people present, the shock and panic of Count Dulin and Teddy can only be described as childish.
Yes, that person is the earl’s daughter, Miss Liz.
how come...
Dada... Damir! ?
Many memories suddenly flashed through Liz's mind.
For example, in the class of the Noble Academy when I was young, the difficult problem that all the students could not solve, including Liz, who was ranked number one at the time, was easily solved by a little boy who slept all day long.
For example, in the magic enlightenment class, when everyone was still memorizing obscure spells, a certain little boy became proficient in magic and skipped class without telling the teacher.
For example, during a study trip organized by the college, he was unexpectedly attacked by monsters. At a critical moment when everyone was trembling and didn't know what to do, a certain little boy stepped forward and showed great fighting power. He fought off the monster alone before the panicked teacher arrived.
Why do all the memories always feature "little boy" as the protagonist?
Because this is the distance between mortals and geniuses. Only when they were children, they still had the opportunity to come into contact with each other. The older they got, the more Liz was pulled away by the other party to the point where they could not catch up.
Even in the end, she could no longer see the back of the little boy.
But despite this, the feeling from childhood has always been kept in my heart. From time to time, I will silently pay attention to what achievements the other party has made, and what new magic he has developed...
so...
Take a deep breath.
Liz wanted her beating heart to slow down a little.
She would never have thought that Damir, who was even more difficult to meet than going to heaven, would appear here today.
He... what did he come here to do?
Wait a moment!
Could it be that!
As if she thought of something, Liz's heart rate, which had just calmed down, spiked straight up again.
He, is he because...
worry about me?
The two of them were classmates and good friends after all. They were in the same aristocratic academy when they were children.
As the top student in the test papers, Liz has been secretly competing with Damir, who is a genius.
Although until Damir dropped out of school early, the two of them had not spoken a few words in total.
But Liz believed that Damir should still be able to feel the mutual sympathy between them.
really!
Although it is not shown in daily life.
Damir didn't even attend her coming-of-age ceremony, which made Liz feel depressed for a long time.
However, at the critical moment, after knowing that he has been kidnapped, he will still be anxious!
Later, he learned that she was back safe and sound, so he put down everything at hand and even used teleportation magic to rush over to see him?
The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that mankind will not learn from history.
This is deeply reflected in Liz.
The eldest lady instantly figured out the entire story, and she didn't even think it was familiar.
I have to say that this time, it seems to be confirmed by reality.
I saw that unlike Harvey before, who showed up politely to say hello to other nobles, Damir didn't care about these secular rules at all.
The young and handsome genius mage stood on the stage, looking around, and finally landed in Liz's direction.
Boom, boom, boom!
Seeing Damiel looking towards her, Liz's power furnace was operating at full capacity and was extremely hot.
Her eyes were panicked, and she no longer looked like the rich lady before. She didn't dare to look at Damir.
But if Fan Lisi could take a few more glances at Damir, she would realize that his eyes were only in her direction, not on her.
The point where Damir's eyes really focused was next to Liz.
Someone was holding Liz's hand, so she was a little girl who was slightly confused and tilted her head because of Liz's sudden uneasiness. Her whole body was vaguely shaking with excitement. She noticed it very quickly.
Footsteps sounded.
It could be heard that he was rushing towards me.
You can see how anxious he is.
Liz was touched immediately and felt warm in her heart.
Former childhood friends, childhood sweethearts, old classmates, and old rivals!
he...
Sure enough, you still have me in your heart! Didn't forget me!
