Chapter 12: Outlet Hibiscus (Part 2)

Empire, December 23, 23, was a special day for Ron. This day was his sixteenth birthday.
Similarly, this day is Caroline's sixteenth birthday, and today, the Tiger family will hold a formal adult ceremony for Caroline.
According to the laws of the empire, men are formally grown up at the age of eighteen, while women are grown as long as they are sixteen. Adult rites are not required, but for some large families, formal adult rites are usually held for their children.
After a man becomes an adult, he can formally receive an empire award, possess a knighthood and land, and a woman holds a rite of marriage, to a certain extent, she tells everyone that she is an adult and can talk about marriage and marriage. For men who are interested in her, they can At this time formally raised relatives.
Caroline ’s adult ceremony is a big event in the town of Relo. In the early morning, the town has become very lively. The weather has been very good these days, the snow has completely melted, and the temperature has risen a lot, almost Give everyone a feeling of spring coming early.
People came and went at the door of the Tiger family, several luxury carriages were parked there, guests far away had arrived early, and nearby guests such as Yadi also arrived one after another before noon.
Although the formal adult ceremony is not held until evening, everyone knows that the guests here are not just for attending the adult ceremony. It is rumored that Caroline will choose the future husband among the unmarried men attending the adult ceremony. It can also be found that there are indeed many young men among the guests who come to the adult ceremony.
"Cousin, are you really going?" In the evening, Ron walked out of Wolfe Manor, and Nina beside her couldn't help but asked again.
"Nina, I have said that I can go alone. What do you have to do with me?" Ron glanced at the blonde girl a little helplessly.
"That's not okay. They are too many and will bully you!" Nina raised her chest. "I'm going to protect you!"
"Nina, actually I have to protect Ron!" Karl looked excited. "Look, I'm already good at it!"
Karl didn't care if Ron and Nina were interested in watching him perform, he quickly sang the spell, and then a wind blade was cast out, and the wind blade hit the wooden door, only to hear a muffled sound, the wind blade cut the wooden door out of a shallow mark.
"How is it? The power is good?" Carl looked a little proud.
In fact, Karl didn't officially become a first-level magician until last night. Now he has just been able to cast the lowest-level magic of the wind system, and his power is naturally not strong.
Ron didn't want to fight Carl, and nodded: "It's okay."
Nina did not give Carl a face, but she lipped her lips: "What, your wind blade can only tickle people, it has no effect at all."
"How can it be so bad? If this wind blade cuts into someone's throat, it will surely kill someone!" Karl said a little dissatisfied.
"Come on, it would be nice if you could cut someone else's clothes!" Nina Jiao snorted. "You think people's throats will be cut for you. If it's so easy, what's the magic? You just cut it with a knife. Just go to someone's throat! "
"Wait for me to put out dozens of wind blades from all directions at the same time, to see who can escape!" Carl didn't care about Nina's blow at all, still full of confidence.
"Wait until you can release so many wind blades at the same time." Nina gave Carl a white glance. "In short, it's up to me to protect Ron. It's good if you can protect yourself!"
"Nina, I can protect myself." Ron finally said unbearably. Of the three people, Nina was obviously the youngest, but she looked like a big sister. She always said to protect him. What a joke, even if she was talented. The best, the strongest, he did n’t want her to protect. The men of the dignified Wolf family wanted a woman to protect, but he could not afford to lose this person.
"But there are many of them, and you will suffer if you go alone." Nina said.
"I went to the adult ceremony, not to fight." Ron had to remind her.
"Well, those of the Tiger family have invited you to the adult ceremony. We must not be well-intentioned. We must prepare for a fight!" Nina Jiao hummed, waving her fists, looking like she was eager to try.
Ron wondered whether Nina really wanted to protect him or did she want to fight someone? He was very clear, don't look at Nina's beauty, but she only inherited her mother's beauty, but not her mother's tenderness.
But Ron also knew that since Nina would follow, she would not stop halfway, and he had to take her to Caroline's adult ceremony.
A few minutes later, the three of Ron had already arrived outside the Tiger family.
Compared with the rundown of Wolfe ’s Manor, the Tiger family ’s mansion looks a bit luxurious, and the luxury carriages parked at the door, and the occasionally Chinese guests in and out, are invisible to highlight the Tiger family.
The welcoming male servant of the Tiger family was very polite to Ron, and led him to the banquet hall. The hall was already full of luxuriously dressed men and women. Several people gathered together in a group to whisper and talk about something. The woman's smirk.
"So many people!" Nina said softly.
"Yeah, so many beauties!" Karl immediately echoed.
"Karl, you are a big pervert, you know that looking at beautiful women, I am also a beautiful woman!"
"Nina, I know you are a beauty, but you like Ron and you don't like me." Carl whispered.
"Karl, you again, be careful I really beat you!" Nina blushed and waved her fist at Karl to demonstrate.
Ron glanced at the hall casually as if he had n’t heard the dialogue between the two. Indeed, as Karl said, there are many beautiful women, but none of them knew him. Not only is the protagonist Caroline not tonight, Lian Kai Lun didn't see it either.
"Huh, isn't that Ron of the Wolf family?" Suddenly, a somewhat surprised voice sounded, which was a bit loud, and also attracted the attention of many people. Almost instantly, Ron felt countless eyes looking at him together. Over here.
Most of the guests present were relatively familiar with the Tiger family, and people familiar with the Tiger family also generally heard the name Ron. Some guests who had lived in the town of Rello were more aware of Ron and The past between Caroline, on this special day, the appearance of Ron will naturally remind them of many things.
"Are you Ron?" Came a somewhat abrupt voice, and then the crowd naturally gave way, and a young man approached Ron.
This young man is also a little thin, and his appearance is very beautiful, which is a bit like a woman, and the whole person also has a feminine feeling.
Ron did n’t know the young man, but the clothes he wore made him secretly alert. The dark black robe was actually a bit similar to Ron ’s clothes. The difference was that on this man ’s chest, except In addition to the family logo of an eagle soaring, there is also a beast-shaped logo only available to summoners. The two unobtrusive stars on it show that this is a second-level summoner certified by the Summoners Guild.
The family logo that the eagle took off should belong to the Hawke family, an ancient family with hundreds of years of history in the empire.
"I'm Ron Wolfe, who is your Excellency?" Ron asked lightly. He used to be kind to strangers before, but after the incident in the Valley of Thunder, he was strangely hostile to himself. People, Ron will not still be so good tone.
"Morance Hawke." The young man spit out his name coldly, "Supposedly you are also a summoner?"
"Hello, is Ron a summoner, what does it have to do with you?" Ron hadn't answered yet, and Nina was already dissatisfied, "We don't even know you, you came over and asked this and that , Not at all polite! "
"Just like your rundown family, is it right for me to be polite to you by Morrence?" Morrance's tone was full of disdain.
"What are you talking about?" Nina was furious. "Believe it or not, I smashed your mouth?"
"It's you alone?" Morrens disdained even more. "Don't think that you look a bit handsome, I will show mercy to your men, I will kill you easily!"
"You!" Nina suddenly pulled out the long sword behind her, and in a rage, she had already planned to use the sword to cut people.
"Nina!" Ron sighed, "Stop it!"
"Ron, I ..." Nina looked at Ron a little aggrievedly, obviously not wanting to stop.
"You are not his opponent." Ron said lightly. He is very clear. Generally speaking, a second-level summoner is definitely not a second-level martial artist can deal with. The martial artist is relatively weak in the early stage, while the summoner is in the early stage. It is relatively strong.
"You have a little self-knowledge." Moruns looked at Ron with a mocking tone. "It's just that I don't understand. How can you dare to come here like your wasteful summoner?"
"You can be a summoner like a mad dog here, and of course I can come." Ron looked at Moruns indifferently, his words did not fall.
"What did you say?" Morrenston was furious.
"Only mad dogs will bite people inexplicably." Ron said coldly, "If you are not a bite person, it means that you have been ordered by the owner to bite me, then I can admit that you are not a mad dog, but a pet. dog."
"Ron, curse well, whether it's a mad dog or a pet dog, it's a dog anyway!" Nina clapped and said that she was angry just now that she saw Ron helping her out and immediately turned angry.
"Ron, you're dying for yourself!" Morrance's face was blue, "I'm dueling you!"
