Chapter 43 Take off the armor and escape!
Brand here.
Seeing the rhinos in front of him so active, he felt very happy.
Before, he was a little worried that these little cuties would be unaccustomed to the new living environment, but now it seems that he is overly worried.
But in order not to hurt them, he couldn't let them hit him at such a fast speed.
The combination of "immune control" and "invincibility" is no joke!
As a result, under Brand's will, the ground began to rise rapidly.
Dozens of thick silver-white metal vines broke out from the ground, sweeping up towards the horrified eyes of the black-armored rhinos... The
one-sided "battle" ended quickly.
Each black-armored rhinoceros is wrapped in a special metal rattan into a "big rice dumpling".
Only a big head full of regret and fear was left exposed, letting out sad wails from time to time.
At this time, Brand looked at the "big rice dumplings" without "heads" in surprise.
After controlling the metal vines to disperse, several lonely black armors fell from the air.
——The black-armored rhinoceros originally wrapped in armor has disappeared.
Perhaps those few rhinos can no longer be called black-armored rhinos, because their black armors have remained here forever.
Seeing this scene, Brand's face was filled with shock.
He really didn't expect that this thing could be taken off!
"Then after the black armor is gone, can another one grow?"
Looking back at the black-armored rhinoceroses tied up in the air, Brand felt that this was worth studying!
...
The next evening, Tuole County City.
The entrance to the Sheriff's Mansion tonight was busier than usual.
Various merchants' carriages lined up in a long queue, waiting for the stewards and servants of the Sheriff's Mansion to check their identities one by one.
It was slow, but no one complained.
After all, if it were another time, no one would let you in.
To have such an opportunity was because Mr. Toller was very merciful because of the difficulty of doing business for the merchants.
Of course, the admission fee that should be paid cannot be less.
He, Count Toler, also needs to eat!
As representatives of the Holland family, Brand and his party naturally did not have to queue. Earl Toler opened a special passage for the nobles' carriages.
It's not like I haven't seen Count Toler's method of making money in the past.
However, looking at the longer team beside him than before, combined with the subsequent pioneering war, Brand still felt a little curious in his heart.
So is Count Toller preparing for war?
At this time, Anderson, the captain of the guard in heavy armor, said in a deep voice:
"Young Master, it is best not to relax your vigilance too much when enjoying the banquet. This time, Earl Toler invited too many businessmen, and we don't know if there are any evil intentions among them. An evil person."
"Yes, I know."
Brand said: "I will take Catherine with me when the time comes."
Speaking of Catherine, Captain Anderson couldn't help but look at Brand next to him with a strange look. Blonde maid reading a book.
As if aware of his gaze, Catherine raised her head and smiled gently at Guard Captain Anderson, and then returned her attention to the book in her hand.
If it's just like this, it's nothing. She's just a little maid who is fascinated by reading.
The most that can be done is to add a modifier such as being proud of one's favor.
After all, Brand, as the master, is right next to her. As a maid, if she doesn't serve her master properly, it's okay, but she is actually reading a book on the side.
Of course, Anderson is in charge of the guards of the Holland family, and he has no control over the affairs of the maids.
So this was not actually what Anderson cared about. What concerned him more was the book in Catherine's hand.
He had read that book before, and Young Master Yersen had been bringing it to him to communicate with him from time to time recently.
——"Formal Knight Breakthrough Experience".
This is something that only senior knight apprentices would read.
It records various matters that senior knight apprentices need to pay attention to when they want to break through and become a formal knight.
Senior Knight Apprentice!
It seems that Catherine just started training as a knight a few months ago, right?
How many months ago was it?
Captain Anderson felt that his memory was failing.
The carriage drove smoothly after entering the Sheriff's Mansion, and soon came to the place where the Toler family specially parked the noble cars.
At this time, the three Brands slowly got out of the carriage and followed the servants to the banquet venue.
This is not Brand's first time here. In fact, every few months in the past, Brand would come here with Mr. Holland and Yersin to meet various noble friends in Toller County.
In the eyes of freemen and businessmen, this banquet may contain a variety of information and future market trends.
But in the eyes of nobles like Brand, they are actually just "friends" and "colleagues" whom they haven't seen for a long time. They get together to meet and chat casually.
Tuller County is not too big. The nobles here are relatively familiar with each other, and there is no clear profit-seeking color like the banquets Brand attended in the provincial capital or college.
After all, they are so close that even if there are any conflicts in business, they will rarely be brought to the banquet.
So Brand came here today just to relax and meet some of his friends.
Brand and the others arrived not too early. When they arrived outside the main banquet hall, they saw from a distance that there were already many figures inside.
Anderson said to Brand at this time:
"Master, I'll wait for you in the outer hall. Call me at any time if necessary." "
Okay."
After saying goodbye to Anderson, Brand took Catherine into the main banquet hall. At this time, Earl Toller, who had been waiting inside the door, saw Brand approaching, smiled and greeted him with a hug.
"Handsome little Brand! We haven't seen each other for several months. Aren't Viscount Holland and Little Yersen here?"
Brand replied with an apologetic smile:
"Uncle Toller, Consul Holland recently There are so many things, and only an idle person like me has the free time to come out and enjoy the banquet."
"Yes, there are indeed a lot of things going on recently."
Earl Toler smiled understandingly, patted Brand's shoulder again and said:
"There are already many ladies waiting for you inside. Come in and enjoy the banquet."
Entering the banquet hall, Brand was surprised to find that there were more people here than he expected.
Most of the businessmen he didn't know were unknown, and Brand could recognize them at a glance because their clothes didn't have noble crests.
"Brand!"
Without giving Brand a chance to find acquaintances and friends, a voice came over and drew Brand's attention.
That was Ivy Robert, and there were a number of noble ladies beside her.
Because there were indeed a lot of acquaintances there, Brand didn’t think much and walked directly over with Catherine.
