On this continent, the nobles each have their own badges, and generally speaking, each badge is unique.

The content of the badge has various symbolic meanings and many considerations.

For example, the Basil family's badges are first of all shields, which shows that the Basil family is based on the knighthood of secular regimes. Then there is the double rosemary totem on the shield, one represents the Beshier family and the other represents the rule of the Principality of Beshier. The laurel twig and golden horns on the outer side of the shield represent that the Beshier family is a duke and canonized by the king. They are not independent lords. The silver edge of the shield means that the family is recognized by the church.

In fact, this is the medal used by Yilin's father. One day Yilin really ascended the throne of duke, it still needs to be modified. The elements of Yilin's mother's family must be added to the medal. Because Yilin completely inherits all the wealth and rights of the mother who is the same only daughter.

Grey's medal has only a very simple shield, with the outer shield hitting a silver moon, and the outer edges are several bay leaves and reindeer moss. This shows that Grey is a knight with the hereditary baron, and his title is based on the award of a duke. Silver moon is his totem.

In fact, the bay leaves and reindeer moss on the Grey medal are still controversial, because Elin has not officially inherited the Duke. Only after Elin officially inherited the title of Grey's baron can the title of Grey be officially effective. Although it was fine before that he called himself a knight.

Generally speaking, the more complex the badge, the more prominent the strength is.

And the badge of the old man in front of him is very complicated...

The vine means that he is an earl. Like Gray, there are bay leaves and shields, which means that his family is also knight-born and is also based on the title given by a duke. In addition, there is a cross silver edge, which shows that it is recognized by the church like the Beshir family. But the most important thing is that the family totems on his shield... there are eight kinds. Yes, eight kinds. The shield is divided into eight pieces, with eight kinds of totems on it!

This shows that the old man inherited the rights and property of eight prominent families at the same time.

Of course, Grey must not be able to see these things now, but he really recognized this badge! Because he had seen them while digging the ancestral tomb of the Gruglu family! It was carved on the big stone outside the cemetery!

The moment he recognized the badge, Gray stopped immediately.

Yilin, who was supported by him, also stopped.

"What's the matter?"

"He is..."

"Earl Grugru, Atwood III." Elin kept laughing, looking at Earl Grugru and whispered: "Why, do you know him?"

“No…I don’t know.”

"He is my primary target of fighting against His Majesty the King. He is more preferred than Earl Casper. But he is also the first to reject me. If it weren't for him, other subordinates wouldn't be shaking. I even doubted this matter, as he had conspired with His Majesty the King. However, I would like to take this opportunity to try again tonight. After all, he is here. Since he is willing to come, it means it is still possible, isn't it?"

As he said that, Elin smiled, let go of Grey's hand, and walked straight towards Earl Grugru with the hem of the skirt.

Everyone around had already started dancing to the music together. However, it was obviously not the kind of dance that Gray imagined.

Hesitating, Gray had to follow him timidly.

"Dear Uncle Grugru, long time no see." Irene saluted respectfully to Earl Grugru.

"It's not long, only half a month. I heard that you have done a lot of things in the past half month. I went to Xianyu Port, met Earl Casper, and gained the loyalty of a powerful knight." As he said, Earl Grugru's eyes fell on Grey, but he just paused, and then quickly took it back, sighed, and said with a smile: "It seems that my little niece Elin has really grown up."

"Uncle Grugru didn't ask Yilin to dance the first dance?" Yilin asked with a smile.

"Honor is so great." Earl Grugru made a gesture of invitation gracefully, then held Yilin's hand and walked towards the center of the hall.

Gray wanted to follow, but Halls quickly stopped him.

The dance began, with polite smiles on both of them.

Although they were separated by more than ten meters and their voices were small enough, Gray could still clearly hear the content of their conversation with magic.

"I heard that your knight is very strong. He can pull up a big tree with bare hands. But why is he still wearing armor at the dance party? Isn't it safe here?"

"If it's not safe here, where else can I be safe? He's just used to it. Having said that, Uncle Grugru's request before, would Uncle Grugru think about it seriously?"

"Actually, I have been thinking about it all. I know all the news and have been evaluating it all. You have to understand that as the leader of the family, I have an obligation to think about the future of the family."

"How are you thinking about it? Have you made a decision tonight?"

"Actually, there isn't. Because, I suddenly felt that the information I got might be wrong. If even the information I got was wrong, then the evaluation would not be able to continue."

"Information error, do you mean?"

"Your knight." As he said, Count Grugru turned his eyes in the direction where Grey was: "Everything else is easy to understand, but the rumors about this knight... can use the iron chains of the suspension bridge as whips, can pull up big trees with bare hands, and even erect iron gates alone. This sounds more like a rumor. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Does Uncle Grugru want to see it with his own eyes? Why don't we make a bet. If Grey really can do it, then Uncle Grugru will agree to Irelyn's request, what?"

"This...ahem, you are indeed stronger than we thought, but not enough. Irene. 'The Gruglu family will only support those who are destined to win.' This is the ancestral teaching of our family. It is also the foundation for us to pass on for a thousand years. The history of the Gruglu family is longer than the Beshir family."

Gray listened in a daze, then suddenly remembered something more important, and hurriedly turned to Halls beside him: "Isn't it a dance party? Why don't everyone dance?"

“Aren’t you already jumping?”

"Already jumping?" Gray looked around.

Halls reached out and pointed at Elin and Earl Grugru directly in front of them, and a large circle of people around them.

“Is this dancing?”

"Otherwise? What do you think they are doing?"

"I thought dancing should be..." Seeing Halls's face full of suspicion, Gray quickly swallowed all the words to his mouth.

OK, new news, there is more than one kind of dance.

So the question is, where can I find a dance partner?

Obviously, Gray still didn't give up on the idea of ​​dancing a dance tonight. He began to look around and find someone.

Who? Pas.

Elin already has a partner, and Pas is Gray's first intuition and is more familiar with people who can dance with him.

Although he had noticed that the dancing was a match between a man and a woman, and he seemed to be a man by everyone. But it didn't matter! Nothing could stop a lich from wanting to dance, even without a woman!

Then soon, he found that the traitor Pas was already hugging a girl who didn't know where she came from and was getting tired of it in the distance.

There was no choice but to turn to stare at the bearded Halls, which made Halls get goose bumps and unconsciously move backwards.

Just as Gray was hesitating whether to let Halls be his dance partner, he reached in front of Gray with one hand: "Sir Baron, do you mind asking me to dance a dance?"

The one who appeared in front of Gray was a playful girl, sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as Elin.

The orange-yellow silk long skirt, fair skin, long golden hair tied behind the head, and the eyebrows like willow leaves seemed to be smiling all the time. The weak figure exudes an innate pride temperament.

At this moment, she was tilting her head slightly, stretching out a hand, and looking at Gray proudly.

But Gray was not looking at her. To be precise, Gray was looking at the house emblem on her chest and it was Gruglu again!

There is no doubt that Gray is looking forward to dancing the first dance. But I have to say that the Grugru family has a shadow in Gray's heart.

Didn’t he just dug up an ancestral tomb? He was chased and beaten by a whole knight.

Which lich can be without shadows?

Gray suddenly felt a little worried, did they recognize themselves? Otherwise, why did they appear in front of them one after another?

So Gray chose to pretend not to see it, quietly turned his head back, and continued to stare at Halls.

This time, the scene was a little awkward.

The eyes of the people around him were attracted, the girl's face turned red, and her brows were so furrowed that she could wrinkle out of water.

Halls quietly touched Gray with his arm, indicating that he should react a little. However, Gray still pretended not to see it.

The girl was really angry, and she asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Does the Baron think Shelley is not beautiful enough?"

"No, Miss Shelley is the most beautiful woman in the world." Halls quickly smoothed out.

"I didn't ask you!" Shelley didn't even look at Halls, and his beautiful eyes stared at Grey and said, "I'm talking to the Baron."

Being forced to do nothing, Gray slowly turned his gaze to Shelley.

In the distance, Earl Grugru, who was dancing with Elephant, was quietly looking at this side.

Following the gaze of Earl Grugru, Yilin also looked here.

"Invite her to dance! Miss Irene can't offend the Grugru family to death!" Halls quickly said viciously in Grey's ear.

After saying that, he simply pushed Gray behind his back.

Gray still understands this.

Helplessly, Grey could only clumsyly follow the Count Grugru's appearance and say, "The honor is so great." Then he took Shelley's hand.

Just as the two hands touched, Shelley, who was originally angry, smiled with satisfaction. However, at the same time, Gray clearly felt a boy in a black dress leaving the scene in the distance.

The music continues, and the dance continues.

Shelley smiled proudly, but she obviously couldn't laugh for long. Because dancing with Gray was not a comfortable thing.

"Ah! You stepped on me!"

...

"Ah! You stepped on me again!"

...

"Ah! You stepped on me again!"

All the movements are right, but unfortunately the ballroom dance is obviously not as simple as the movements are right. After all, Gray's rhythm is completely wrong.

Shelley's mouth pouted, staring at Gray to express her displeasure.

"Sorry... it's my first time dancing." Gray apologized in a low voice.

"First dancing?" Shelley's eyes widened in surprise.

"Um."

"It's okay, it's actually my first time."

"Really?"
