To Burris The Spellcaster And His Family Dependent - Chapter 97

Compared with the dance party in the royal capital, the celebration of Silver Falcon Fort is more lively and pragmatic: they not only hold the dance party, prepare a sufficient amount of wine, but also turn the welcome hall and courtyard into a cafeteria.

The guests first enter the main castle gate, and then through the guard gallery, walk into the gardening area of ​​the inner courtyard. The lawn and small roads in front are full of long tables with barbecue, cured meats and pickles. Perhaps because of the strong taste of these foods, the banquet planner moved them to the courtyard.

This kind of scene will never appear in the Royal Castle. This is not like a noble banquet, it is simply an orc celebration… But Silver Falcon Castle doesn’t matter what it is, they pay more attention to fun.

Guests pass through the barbecue and pickles area and climb a short red carpet staircase to enter the welcome hall of the main castle. The hall is also decorated with delicious delicacies, but the dishes are different from the outside. Mainly cold cuts, pastries and drinks, the smell is light and fragrant, and there is no steaming.

The rectangular welcome hall is connected to a circular area. There is no table here, and it is specially used for guests to dance and chat. At the end of the rotunda, a temporary stage was set up with a team of musicians taking turns to perform, an elf singer to sing on demand, and a team of male and female dancers to accompany the dance at any time.

“What kind of event is this?” Burris stood at the entrance of the rotunda, holding a glass of passion fruit juice, “Is it a banquet, a ball, or a tavern celebration… It’s a bit reluctant, and it’s a fancy dress ball?”

Lott stood beside him with the door frame in one hand, wearing a simple black half-face mask: “I also think they are very shameful. No one told me in advance that it was a fancy dress party. If I knew it earlier, I could prepare something gorgeous. I have a mask. Maybe I can prepare some interesting costumes… Now I can only wear this kind of perfunctory mask at the door. What a pity, what a pity.”

Burris also wore the same black mask, and there were two servants at the door dedicated to handing out masks to unprepared guests. Disguise was not mandatory for the banquet. A few guests did not wear masks because they felt weird, and most of the guests prepared various masks or veils. In addition to the traditional black or white half-face masks, there are many people in the hall wearing butterfly masks, gargoyle masks, wolf head masks and so on.

When entering the hall just now, Burris and Lot met Charles, the second son of Prince Ranto, the young and upright little knight. Charles wore a tauren mask and hurriedly walked back and forth among the guests. He wore a tuxedo and was stronger than the armored guard. From a distance, he looked like a real tauren.

Burris mentioned in a tactful way that the security tonight was very tight, and Charles took it as a compliment, and didn’t hear the meaning of inquiries at all.

He said that he was looking for Tarina. Tarina is wearing a wild boar mask. It should not be difficult to find. Women generally wear simple masks or butterfly masks, either in the shape of flowers or rabbits and kittens. Female wild boars in the audience Only his sister Tarina, but he couldn’t find her.

Before long, Burris found Tarina in the barbecue area outside. She wore a dress that was too long, and then used her warlock ability to levitate herself. She looked a lot taller. She was not wearing a wild boar mask at all, but a treant mask with her mouth open. Charles must be Deceived by her illusion.

Burris’s mask was simple, and Tarina recognized him immediately. She whispered: Please help me keep it secret, don’t call my brother for the time being, I will find him by myself in a while.

Burris agreed. She sneaked out to drink secretly, because her father and brother said that she was young, and she was not allowed to drink, and she was not allowed to eat the durian that was placed in the courtyard because of the smell. Last time she was in danger, it was not about durians at all, but Prince Ranto and her brother were still very wary of durians.

After seeing Tarina, Burris thought of Estie. Estie is here, but he hasn’t seen her yet.

Maybe she was hiding in a corner to cast a spell, but her stiff face showed a smile; maybe she and Sir Naler both disappeared, in a place where there is no one…

Lott came over, Burris pressed Burris’s shoulder: “What’s the matter with you?”

“What’s wrong with me?” Burris asked.

“You frown, then your face is full of horror, and then the juice in your opponent glares at it… this simple mask can’t stop your expression.”

Burris sighed: “I didn’t see Estie. We shouldn’t let the attendant leave just now, we should let her take us to see Estie first.”

“What are you worried about her doing?” Lot said, fetching two glasses of champagne from the waiter’s tray passing by. “She is a great mage, and Naylor must be protecting her at any time…unless you think Naylor is The source of danger? No, Naylor and her are kings and ministers, and she is the most noble guest in this banquet. What danger can she have? In my opinion, the elf **** the stage is more dangerous now. Personal eyes are about to breathe fire…”

Burris looked at him helplessly: “My lord, I didn’t mean that… It is because Estie is the most lofty guest that I worry about her. As you can see, today’s Silver Falcon has increased so much strength. , Even the heavily armed soldiers are standing at the entrance of the banquet hall… I always feel that something is wrong, maybe the Silver Falcon is facing some kind of danger. In this case, Estelin, as a princess, will definitely be involved.”

“Why didn’t Prince Ranto cancel the banquet?”

“He must have planned for a long time, and the guests have high expectations for it. If the banquet is suddenly cancelled, everyone will definitely be unhappy.”

“Your Excellency is right.” At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind them. The missed Esther style came up and nodded slightly to the teacher.

She wore a silver simple mask and couldn’t cover her face. Burris found that there were no spell waves on her skin. Today she was honestly on the floor without a smirk.

Burris bowed to the princess first, and then asked: “You weren’t in the hall just now?”

Esther nodded: “I’m talking with Prince Ranto. I also think Silver Falcon Castle is a bit strange today, so I want to ask him politely. If he keeps not picking me up, he probably doesn’t want to reveal the reason.”

Lot asked: “Why do you all feel abnormal? Can’t it be that Silver Falcon is very important to safety and guards the celebration out of caution?”

The princess sighed: “I hope so. Recently, there have always been abnormalities appearing one after another, and everyone’s nerves are tense.”

She looked at the young teacher and said in a low voice: “Teacher, don’t worry about this today. Take a good rest. Don’t participate even if something really happens, just leave it to us.”

“Why did you say that suddenly?” Burris asked.

The princess said: “Haida told me about the situation in the White Tower. You have worked so hard these days.”

Burris felt warm and tried to resist the urge to touch the top of her head. The attitude of the student made him feel a sense of guilt. Not long ago, after he dug up Lisa’s body, he left the mess to Estie. At that time, he had no guilt and was upright and confident, and felt that the young should be given to the elders. Aftermath…

Before he was moved for a few seconds, Lott interjected excitedly: “The princess is right, we should enjoy the celebration and the banquet!” He handed the champagne he had just brought to Burris’ mouth, “Come on, drink Got it! The dance music is playing over there. Let’s dance. Don’t worry all the time!”

When he took the cup, Burris was taken aback. He was suddenly moved by a word in Lott’s words.

Lott said he was “worrying blindly”, which reminded him that Lott said this when he was in the tower: Even if you need something to worry about, this is not what you should worry about…

Lott pointed out that he shouldn’t worry about Black Lake. Indeed, they don’t need to worry about this now. At that time, Burris wanted to ask, “Then what should I worry about?” But Lott came up with shamelessly, interrupted Burris’s thinking, lowered Burris’ IQ, and caused him to remember this unquestioned sentence until now. .

He looked at Lott suspiciously, suddenly feeling insecure in his heart.

He was afraid of what would happen to Lot and that someone would assassinate the royal family. Apart from these, he was also worried about Hei Song’s mouth. He was also in the banquet hall. What if Hei Song drank too much wine and talked nonsense. Hei Song ran to tell him what to do if he called the teacher…

Lott watched the ever-changing expressions on Burris’ face, and reluctantly drank the glass of wine for him.

When Burris was in a daze, Esther said goodbye to them temporarily and was invited to dance by a male nobleman. Lot also took the hand of the mage and led him to the dance floor, while Burris was still in a mess. Thinking, followed Lott blankly.

When Burris was about to ask questions, Lott took his hand with one hand, and put his arm around his waist, leading him in a sudden circle, interrupting his thoughts.

In the rotunda, acrobatics and singing and dancing have been performed. Now the band plays a slow dance music, and the guests begin to communicate their feelings in the slow dance steps. Burris suddenly discovered that they seemed to have become the center of everyone’s sight…In the entire hall, only they were held by two men!

“Someone is watching us…” Burris’s face was hot.

Lott smiled confidently at the people around him, and quietly said to Burris: “They are looking at me, not you. They must think that I am dressed like a rich man, not like a guest of prince at all.”

… So you know so much! Burris asked vigorously, “Can we…can’t dance? It’s too noticeable…”

“We all danced in the palace, why can’t we dance in the Silver Falcon?”

“but……”

Burris couldn’t tell why, he couldn’t refute Lott. Sargo doesn’t have any laws prohibiting men from dancing with men… But he really can’t stand the gaze from all directions, even if those people’s eyes are not malicious, he still feels like a man.

“Can’t we go there to eat…” Burris felt a sense of crisis that would not be guaranteed. He bowed his head and followed Lott, not daring to look around.

“Augilia and Siegfried are both in the buffet area. I can feel their position,” Lot said. “Where is Augilia, Black Pine must be there. If we walk over, we might encounter They, what if the black pine doesn’t hold back and makes a fuss?”

Burris gritted his teeth and said: “I’m not afraid, I will let him shut up.”

Lott smiled and said, “Okay, okay…but we have to finish this song. It is impolite to leave the dance floor without stopping.”

Burris was suffering in the melodious dance music. He kept looking down at the floor, Lott couldn’t see his face, only the top of his head, red ears and a small neck.

Lott said in the ear of the mage: “You should seriously learn how to be a young man. You have to be brave and don’t always think about maintaining the dignity of the teacher. Also, you should give a clear response to my pursuit. You have to take the initiative.”

pursue. Lott just said the word “pursuit”.

Burris certainly knows that this kind of behavior is called “pursuit.” He always feels that “being pursued” is a very unsuitable thing for him. This word should appear in young girls of engagement age, or in the texts of stage plays and romantic novels. This word should not be the same as that of the Master Boris. Gershaw got involved…but he couldn’t forcefully ignore the facts: he had stubbornly promised Lott long ago, and the two of them had kissed and hugged each other many times, if he were here. To deny “being pursued” for a while is really unreasonable.

What’s more, who are they “pursuing” whom?

Which mage will continue to fulfill the promise made 60 years ago after a successful career? Is it because he is so idle? Or is it because he was stuck in the night when he was twenty and couldn’t get out of it for decades?

In this case, if he always frowns upright and pretends to be a noble lady forced to marry by his parents, that would be really shameless.

The question is… how easy is it to “like a young man”? Now Burris couldn’t even raise his head. He even wondered if there was something wrong with him. Things that others can easily cope with are more difficult for him than spell-casting, exploration, research, and business.

The song is finally over. Burris walked to the rest area in relief. He did his best and listened to Lot’s advice as much as possible: Be brave. So he didn’t turn his head and left, but maintained the position of holding hands with Lotla, and the two left together.

After seated, Lott stared at him and said, “Burris, after attending the birthday celebration of the prince’s eldest son, should we hold that celebration ourselves?”

Burris wondered: “What celebration?”

“Before you went out, you were struggling with the issue of Black Lake. I said to you,’This is not what you should be worried about’… Remember?”

Unexpectedly, Lott took the initiative to bring it up. Burris’s hands were clenched in the wide sleeves. “of course I remember……”

“Do you know what you should worry about?”

“do not know……”

“In Huolongyu,” Lott squeezed his eyes, “You promised me that we are going to have a wedding.”

Burris was in a cold sweat: “This… are you serious? Actually… it is absolutely unnecessary. We are not acting in a stage play, so why bother… This is too dramatic…”

“You have promised me, how can you deny it now?”

“It’s not that I want to deny… My lord, two men can’t hold a wedding…”

“It’s fine to hold a celebration ceremony in private. You don’t need to find a priest to witness the marriage. The priest does not give me the right to witness the marriage anyway.”

The other boot that was thrown up finally landed, but Burris did not relax at all.

He can’t feel his face getting hot anymore. It may be because his neck is also hot, and his neck is also hot. The temperature of his whole body is gradually uniform, and his heartbeat is getting faster and faster… drink.

Lotte grinned and added fuel to his fire: “You are so shy now, what will you do in the future?”

Burris looked at him horribly: “What… mean?”

At this time, the next dance music began to play, the music concealed the voices of people talking in low voices. Lott held the mage’s shoulders and said to his ears: “I’m over 80 years old, you must know what to do after the wedding.”
