City Lord Kerry Gates stopped Loki from stepping down. He said at the banquet, "Today, in addition to my birthday, I have one more thing to announce to everyone. It is that I am here to formally propose marriage to the beautiful Miss Avril. I hope everyone will support my proposal." Arabel Edes was the first to clap.

Barchman had not expected that Kerry Gates would force him at his birthday party, which was the hardest thing for him to refuse. But today was different, he had the backing of Luo Qi. Batchman stepped out of the crowd and said to Kerry Gates, "Lord Mayor, I appreciate your admiration for my daughter. What a pity, what a pity. My daughter Avril is already the fianc?e of the leader Loki beside you. "

Kerry Gates, seeing that he had a way around it, gave up the opportunity to do something else. It was just a visit. He said with a hypocritical smile, "Yes, it's such a pity." Then he said to Loki, "Congratulations, I really envy you for being able to marry such a beautiful lady like Avril." The sinister look on his face disappeared.

Loki smiled and nodded. He didn't even put this small figure in his eyes. All his attention was on the woman sitting in the highest seat of honor. That woman was not wearing the traditional clothing of the Milan Empire, but rather a style that was relatively exposed.

She was a newly grown woman, with purple hair and blue eyes. She was a symbol of the Ulan Took Empire, with a oval face and a tall, straight nose. With the shoulder exposed, the tight-fitting clothing that showed off her voluptuous figure was very attractive. "Huu" However, such a woman's eyes were icy cold. Unlike Luo Si, her icy cold aura made people feel that she wasn't indifferent to her.

Of course, Loki wasn't attracted by her appearance. What caught his attention was her Ulan Took Empire appearance and attire. Although the Milan Empire was at war with the Ulan Took Empire, this continent's war would not implicate merchants. This was a common treaty between empires.

But this woman, Loki, did not look like a businessman, especially an old man with purple hair and blue eyes like her. The old man looked like a highly skilled martial artist. One could see that he was extraordinary from the way he carried his sword. The sheath of the sword was made of black gold, and there were magic stones embedded into the hilt. Magic Stones embedded into swords could increase magic resistance, as could armor.

Loki was watching the girl, and the girl was watching Loki, too. Luo Qi could feel her ice-cold gaze. Her gaze seemed to be warning him not to provoke her, or else he would die in a very ugly way. At this time, Avril had already arrived at Loki's side. She took his arm and said, "Loki, why are you always standing on the stage? Let's go down. "

The party music started and everyone began to look for their partners. Now that everyone knew Loki was Avril's fianc?, Loki had to dance with her. Loki was finally going to be useful in the family dance. In fact, it was a very simple dance, so Loki always remembered that he didn't make a fool of himself. After all, he had a very high status in the family.

Between the dances, Roche could see Kerry Gates standing around the woman, not out of a desire for her, but out of respect. From their conversation, Luo Qi noticed that the woman would often look towards the old man at the side, who would occasionally shake his head or nod. He let Loki know that the old man was the real mastermind.

Loki was very suspicious of their relationship. A foreign merchant usually wouldn't attract the attention of the mayor, except for famous merchants. However, the Ulan Took Empire was an enemy country, so he couldn't understand why Kerry Gates would pay so much attention to them. Loki felt that this was worth pondering over. Maybe it had something to do with Black Gold.

Late at night, Luo Qi and the others returned to the mercenary group. When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Kathleen waiting for Loki. She held the little dragon in her arms, but it didn't fall asleep. When it saw Loki, it jumped out of her arms and threw itself into Loki's arms, closing its eyes and preparing to sleep.

Loki did not think that Kathleen was still awake. He asked, "Kathleen, why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. I want to talk to you. "Do you have time?" Batchman and Avril tactfully left.

When they were gone, Roche said to Kathleen, "What is it?" Kathleen said leisurely, "I'm fine. I just can't sleep. Tell me about today's banquet." Loki talked to Kathleen about the dinner party. Of course, Loki also talked about the two strange Ulan Took merchants and his suspicions.

But it was not about these two. Kathleen said, "What, Evie became your fianc?e?" Loki did not expect Kathleen to ask this question. He was stunned. "Yes, it's to help Avril get out of this. Is there anything wrong with that?"

She shook her head and said, "I suddenly feel sleepy. I'm going to bed." He left without waiting for Roche's permission. Loki, who had been watching Kathleen's departure, could not make head or tail of it. He muttered, "It's menopause? Impossible. She's still underage. "

The next day, Avril was in charge of contacting the goblins, so Loki did not go with him. He was waiting for the Emperor's approval. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to talk about anything without money. What Loki needed to do now was to take advantage of this time to rest and recover from his injuries so that he could deal with any sudden situations.

Just like that, three days passed, and Luo Qi's injuries were mostly healed. At noon, Avril went to buy food for the goblins. Loki and Kathleen sat on the stone bench in the yard, chatting. At this moment, a mercenary guard came in and said to Loki, "Sir, a soldier wishes to see you. He says that he is your subordinate."

Upon hearing the guard's words, Loki immediately said, "Quickly invite him in." Loki put the dragon on the stone table and stood up. He did not expect that the Bow Knights would find him here. The fact that someone had come looking for him showed that his Bow Knight Regiment had not been completely wiped out. For Roche, this was a matter of great pleasure.

Loki laughed when he saw the person who came in through the door. This was the person he was most concerned about, Beck. He was followed by Bellamy. When Loki saw the two of them, he felt much more at ease. Other than the Captain who had died earlier, Albie and Askin were here as well.
