A small town in the southern border of the empire.
As she was preparing to leave, Loran Hill went to the market in the city to buy some things she would need on the road. When she was about to return, Miss Charlene came to see her.
"Messia, I received an invitation today, it's for you." She handed over a piece of thick dark red paper with the invitation written in black calligraphy, and the Moro family's fire seal was stamped next to it, which looked very exquisite.
"Viscount Mo Ruo will hold a banquet in the castle tonight and has invited quite a few people. Besides you, there are also several masters in the city. It is said that several officers will also attend the banquet."
"I'm not quite sure what Viscount Mo Ruo is thinking. Why is he holding a banquet at this time and inviting so many unfamiliar people?"
After Loran Hill took the invitation, he opened it and took a look.
[In order to celebrate the good harvest and peace in the territory this year, a dinner will be held in the castle on the evening of November 24th.
I sincerely invite the brave adventurer, Miss Messia, to attend the banquet I am hosting.
....
]
It seemed that it was just a celebration of the harvest according to past tradition, but now was an extraordinary period and so many things had happened in the territory recently that it was hard to imagine the real purpose of Viscount Mo Ruo holding the banquet.
Loran Hill hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"Okay, I understand. I will go there then." With her strength, she is not afraid of any accidents. Now in the empire, except for witches or some special beings, few people can pose a threat to her.
Instead of leaving like this, it would be better to see what the viscount is planning. Besides, she also wants to get in touch with the new troops of the empire.
After the war with Cranzia ended, the Imperial family reorganized the army based on the experience gained in the war. All numbers before the 54th Legion were cancelled, and then the 54th to 75th Legions were newly established, totaling 22 legions.
These legions were different from the past. They began to be equipped with muskets and cannons, and no longer used full-coverage armor, but instead used lightweight armor with focused protection. This made the load lighter, more flexible, and the cost lower.
Among these 22 legions, the 56th, 71st, and 75th Legions are particularly unique. They are composed entirely of elite soldiers, with the lowest among them being Sequence 2, and they constitute the core strength of the Imperial Family. The commanders leading these three legions are all rare Sequence 7s, and are known as the Empire's "Three Swords," replacing the highly prestigious "Three Marshals" of the old aristocracy.
(Don't remember these data deliberately, they will be explained later.)
Now, in order to further highlight the reputation of these three legions, the royal family has begun to consider giving them new titles rather than simple numbers.
The red-clad soldiers that Loran Hill saw in the square the day before yesterday were from the 71st Legion. Although they were only a small team, they still demonstrated considerable strength.
Let's go and take a look. She was also curious about what Viscount Mo Ruo had lost, and why the military sent an elite team to this small town.
"Messia is going?" Miss Charlene looked at the girl with a bit of surprise. At first, she thought she had no interest in such a party. After all, Messia had always been very calm and didn't seem like the type to change her mind for the sake of others.
"I'm curious. If I don't go and take a look, I'll always feel like I'm missing something." The girl smiled and blinked.
It’s like encountering a side quest in a game. Although it seems unrelated to the main quest, who knows what you’ll gain.
"Okay then. Do you want me to prepare a dress for you? It would be better if you wear something pretty." Miss Charlene showed another interest at this time.
"Ah, that's not necessary. Thank you, Miss Charlene, for your kindness." Little Loran waved her hands quickly. Charlene's words reminded her of many bad memories.
I remember it was like this before. They said they were looking for suitable clothes for themselves, but in the end they would try everything like changing clothes for a doll, and then sit in the dressing room for a long time.
She has suffered this loss many times.
"Okay." Miss Charlene said with regret, but she added at the end, "If you need anything, you can come to me."
"Yeah, I know." Roland nodded.
After returning to the room, Loran found that Lottie was not in the room. Although it was a little strange, he didn't think much about it and began to look for suitable clothes.
She had quite a few clothes, some of which were simple forest-style ones she had made herself in the forest, some were gorgeous dresses that the Chamber of Commerce had custom-made for her during her Hopeland period, some were youthful girlish styles that she had bought with her roommates during her college years, some were oriental-style dresses that she had bought during the Plantagenet dynasty, and there was even the Plantagenet witch's gorgeous dress that had been bestowed by the royal family. This dress was simply luxurious, made of precious soft moon white, embroidered with extraordinary gold thread and engraved with several flawless patterns for protection and enhancement.
Looking at the dazzling array of clothes, Roland hesitated for a long time before taking out a red and black dress. This dress was purchased at the shop owned by the Gem Witch Servis when she first arrived in Emenas. The style was very much in keeping with the Crimson Empire.
She combed her golden hair and tied it into a spiral braid at the back of her head, and then let part of it hang down beside her ears. This hairstyle revealed the girl's soft shoulders and neck. At the same time, she changed into a red and black off-shoulder dress, the hem and cuffs of which were decorated with intricate lace, and there were black rose silk flowers on the skirt. It looked dark and gothic, but the bright red diluted the cold and dark atmosphere, bringing a bold and blooming charm.
I feel like my temperament is very different from before.
