December 30, 291 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

British Empire, pandragon.

The weather in Pendragon tonight is not very good. It snowed heavily, and the snow decorated pandragon into a silver city.

A carriage braved the wind and snow and walked hard on the snow covered streets.

In the carriage, Su Cheng rubbed his hands and puffed at his cold hands no matter how much he rubbed them.

Unable to stand the cold, Su Cheng shouted to the driver:

"Mr. coachman! Can you make the carriage run faster! Even for a second! I want to hurry to the warm white central palace! "

As soon as Su Cheng's voice fell, he heard the coachman sigh helplessly:

"If I could, I'd like to drive the carriage faster, but the road is full of snow and it's difficult to travel. Now it's the fastest speed."

"Alas..." after listening to the coachman's words, Su Cheng knocked on his skull and said at a volume that only he could hear clearly, "if only I could not attend the year-end dinner..."

Su Cheng returned to the imperial capital this time to attend this year's year-end dinner.

At this time last year, Su Cheng did not attend the year-end dinner last year, that is, the year-end dinner in 290, because he had just become the new head of the Michael knights and had a lot of affairs to deal with.

As Su Cheng is now so distinguished, he must have an invitation to the annual year-end dinner.

Sure enough, within a month and a half, Su Cheng received an invitation to this year's, 291 year-end dinner.

In fact, Su Cheng didn't really want to attend this year's year-end dinner at the beginning, because the distance from Avalon fortress to panderagon is too far. Even if he is on his way, it will take about a month to go back and forth.

People like Su Cheng, who happens to be located in remote areas, can refuse to attend the year-end dinner, and no one will say anything about you, because many people refuse to attend the year-end dinner every year because of the distance.

However - after much deliberation, Su Cheng finally decided to attend this year's year-end dinner.

Because Su Cheng wants to see Jacob, who has not seen him for a long time.

Su Cheng's feelings for Jacob have always been very complicated.

Jacob is credited with his high achievement.

It can be said that without Jacob, there might not be Su Cheng, the 30th head of Michael's knights.

Su Cheng has always had gratitude, respect and a touch of... Family affection for Jacob.

In Su Cheng's eyes, Jacob is not only his boss and benefactor, but also his father.

Since the military parade at the beginning of this year, Su Cheng has never seen Jacob again. Some Su Cheng who misses Jacob decided to take advantage of this year's year-end dinner to go back to the imperial capital to meet Jacob and his old man.

Su Cheng originally wanted to come with Alan, Eliza and Carol.

Eliza is Ethel's daughter. As the daughter of the count, like Su Cheng, she receives invitations to the year-end dinner every year, so she can also attend the year-end dinner.

A distinguished guest like Su Cheng can bring up to 2 relatives to the year-end dinner, so Su Cheng just can bring Alan and Carol.

So - Su Cheng's original plan was to wear Alan, Carol and Eliza and go back to DIDU together, and then four people will eat and drink at the year-end dinner.

However, in the end, Alan, Carol and Eliza didn't come. Su Cheng returned to the capital alone.

The reason is that this winter is too cold.

In recent years, the climate has been somewhat abnormal. Winter is getting earlier and colder.

This year is particularly serious.

Although the arrival time of this winter is similar to that in previous years, this winter is much colder than in previous years.

Alan, Carol and Eliza were directly convinced by this year's severe cold and decided not to go anywhere, so they stayed in Avalon fortress for the winter.

Therefore, Su Cheng can only go back to the imperial capital to attend the year-end dinner alone and in the severe cold

Although it's a bit humiliating to say so, Su Cheng also regrets returning to DIDU to attend the year-end dinner

"This damn weather..."

After murmuring curses at the terrible weather this winter, Su Cheng rubbed his hands again so that his hands could warm up.

Just then, a loud cry came from behind his carriage:

"The carriage ahead! But Su Cheng's car? "

——Huh? What's the sound?

Su Cheng's eyes brightened when he heard the sound.

I opened the window on my side, and a cold wind immediately poured in along the window.

Su Cheng leaned out his head and looked behind the carriage against the cold wind from the window.

A carriage was just behind his carriage, and a middle-aged man with half white blue hair, like Su Cheng, leaned half out of the window.

After seeing that Su Cheng was sitting in the carriage, the gray haired blue haired middle-aged man immediately waved to Su Cheng with a little excitement.

"Mr Albert?"

……

……

"Oh, it's really cold this winter."

Albert rubbed his hands and boarded Su Cheng's carriage.

The middle-aged man with half white hair and blue hair was Albert, the current head of the Rachel knights and the second in command of the imperial army.

Su Cheng also likes Albert, a warm, open and informal uncle, so he has a good personal relationship with Albert.

After seeing Albert, Su Cheng immediately sent an invitation to Albert to take a carriage with him.

This is not only convenient to catch up with the past, but also makes the carriage warmer if they sit in the same carriage.

It seems that Albert, who can't stand the cold this winter, immediately agreed to Su Cheng's proposal, gave up his carriage, and then boarded Su Cheng's carriage and rode in the same carriage with Su Cheng.

After Albert boarded his carriage, the carriage immediately warmed a lot.

"I wouldn't have come back if I knew panderagon was so cold." Albert breathed into his frozen hands, "Hoo... It's really cold..."

"At first I thought panderagon was located in the south of Avalon fortress. It might be warmer." Su Cheng smiled bitterly, "as a result, I found that it was just as cold when I got to panderagon! And because pandragon's moisture is heavier, pandragon is even colder. "

"Su Cheng, when did you arrive in the imperial capital?"

"I just arrived in the imperial capital this afternoon. Because I was too lazy to take care of my deserted home for a long time, I now temporarily stayed in Mr. Iser's home. I just stayed in Mr. Iser's home in the afternoon. Before I had a long rest, I came to attend the year-end dinner."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng paused and said with a smile:

"I'm going back to the imperial capital to attend this year's year-end dinner. In fact, I mainly want to meet Mr. Jacob who hasn't seen for a long time. I don't know how Mr. Jacob is now. I don't know whether Mr. Jacob is still healthy."

"Oh? Coincidentally, when I returned to the imperial capital this time, I also wanted to meet Jacob, who I haven't seen for a long time. After all, he is also my good friend. Su Cheng, you don't have to worry about Jacob's body. Jacob's body is much stronger than you think. In terms of physical function, it may not be inferior to some knights in the army. "

Speaking of this, Albert put on a strange smile and continued:

"Su Cheng, do you know what Jacob was called when he was young?"

"The title of Mr. Jacob when he was young? I don't know. "

"It's normal that you don't know. After all, it's too long ago, and Jacob himself doesn't like to mention more about his youth, so many young people don't know Jacob's past deeds. Su Cheng, you should know that Jacob once led soldiers when he was young? "

"Well, I know that. I've heard it from others. "

"Jacob, he used to be a knight. He first became famous as a military officer. Not long after he was awarded Xingui knight for his merit, he took the initiative to resign as a knight and become a civil servant, and then gradually became famous as a civil servant. "

"Mr. Jacob, he was once called a knight!" Su Cheng looked stunned.

"That's right." Albert nodded. "But - in fact, Jacob became famous before he was knighted."

"Before joining the army and becoming a knight, Jacob had a very loud title - Sword saint."

"At that time, the name of 'sword Saint Jacob' was well known in the imperial capital."
