Chapter 40: The Banquet
At noon, standing outside the castle and looking at the figure of Arcadilla in the distance, a solemnity flashed in Adil's eyes.
I don't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that under the other party's cheerful smile, there seems to be a faint hint of incongruous coldness.
"Lord Arcadila has spoken to you personally!" Elvard's familiar voice sounded again, with obvious envy.
Elvar rode a large black horse and wore a solemn sleeve suit, which was quite conspicuous around him.
As the child of Count Boria, Arcadilla also smiled at him when he passed by here, but it was obviously much worse than Adil's treatment.
Squinting at Elhua beside him, Adil was a little speechless in his heart.
In his memory, he knew that Erhua, the second son of the earl, usually admired this Arcadila knight the most, but he didn't expect it to come to this point, just like those star-chasing clans in Adil's memories in his previous life.
But if you think about it, this also shows Arcadilla's strong personal charm and influence.
As the strongest knight in the Northlands, Arcadilla was born into a large aristocratic family, and showed a strong knightly talent since he was a child, and his reputation in the Northlands was extremely loud, and he was the idol of many young nobles.
As the lord of Arcadilla, Count Boria now has become an admirer of his own children, which shows his influence.
Thinking of this, Adil shook his head secretly in his heart.
As for those things in the northern upper ground, Adil didn't know much about it, either in the past or now.
However, as far as observation is concerned, the personalities of both Count Boria and Arcadila belong to the strong type, and they may not be very close to each other.
In the distance, as the Arcadilla knight returned to the castle with the people, Adil followed the overexcited Elvar and slowly walked into the castle.
In the evening, to celebrate the triumphant return of the knights of Arcadilla, Count Boria gave him a grand feast.
Many of the surrounding nobles, large and small, as well as some powerful warriors who performed well during this time, were all present, and Adil and Velal and others were also among them.
As the youngest knight in the history of the Northlands and the sole heir to a rich barony, Adil undoubtedly received a great deal of attention at this banquet.
He is very good-looking, as a half-elf, he has inherited all the advantages of both parents, he is tall and handsome, and in terms of appearance, he is a few points better than the cheerful and handsome Arcadilla, and is naturally popular with many people.
Many of the minor nobles had heard of Adier's reputation, and this time they had brought a woman from their own family to marry him and introduced him to him, apparently intending to marry him.
In this regard, Adil maintained a gentle expression on his face, and although he seemed to be very talkative, he sat directly beside the knight of Flal, so as to get rid of the harassment of those maidens.
As a close confidant of Count Boria, the Knight of Flal is well-known in the Northlands, and I don't know how many enemies he has killed over the years, including robbers and orcs, as well as many nobles who want to rebel against Count Boria, which has a great deterrent effect on those ordinary nobles.
Adil sat beside the middle-aged knight, and the aristocratic girls who had been pestering him were almost extinct at once, and they didn't even dare to approach him, which made him feel more relaxed, and he was also a little speechless in his heart.
Not far from him, Elvar was also at the banquet.
As the second son of Count Boria, Elvar's brother is said to have traveled far away in his early years, and will not return if nothing else.
In this case, it is very likely that Erhua, as the second son, will inherit everything from Count Polya in the future and become the de facto ruler of the Northlands, far more popular than Adil as an ordinary knight.
He is not like Adier, he does not refuse to send young girls and young women to the door, and he has already danced with seven or eight girls in just a short time, and it seems that he likes this atmosphere quite much.
Looking at his appearance, Adil shook his head a little helplessly, and then shifted his gaze to the center of the front.
That was the center of the feast, and no matter how dazzling Adil and Elvar were, they were just foils to the people in them.
There, Arcadila and Count Boria were having a drink, laughing and chatting about their own amusements, and seemed to be enjoying each other.
Beside Count Boria, there was a middle-aged knight with thick hair, who didn't seem to be good at words, but just quietly accompanied Count Boria, looking quite intimate.
"Whose lord is that?"
Glancing deeply at the man in the distance, Adil asked casually to the Knight of Flal sitting beside him.
"That's Cadiz, Lord Boria's chief of guard. ”
Glancing at the people in the distance, Flal said to Adiel.
Listening to Flal's words, Adil nodded thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice, "What is the strength of this Lord Cadiz?"
"It's okay in a knight's apprenticeship, but it's not comparable to a real knight. ”
Flal shook his head: "Cadiz is an excellent fighter, he has already reached the standard of being promoted to knight at a young age, but he has never been promoted successfully since then, and now there is almost no hope. ”
"He was very loyal to Lord Boria, and he was seriously wounded in several battles, so although he was not promoted to knight, he was also promoted to captain of the guard. ”
Promoted to knighthood requires strong physical fitness and vital activity, and generally speaking, if an ordinary human has not been promoted successfully after the age of thirty, then the possibility of natural promotion will become smaller and smaller.
In the distance, Boria looked to be at least forty years old, and under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't be able to break through the knight in his life.
On the side, listening to Fulal's explanation, Adil nodded, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
In my head, the voice of the chip machine sounded.
"Name: Cadiz. Power: 5.1. Dexterity: 5. Constitution: 5.2. ”
Where is the physical fitness of the so-called knight apprentice, it is clear that he has reached the peak of knights, and he can reach the standard of a great knight.
In the entire Northlands, apart from Arcadilla and Count Boria, I am afraid that there is no second such powerful warrior.
"This cadiz, there's a problem. ”
Quietly looking at the silent and silent Cadiz in the distance, the thought flashed through Adiel's heart.
In this world, the status of a great knight is unimaginable to ordinary people, and no matter which country you are in, you can obtain a noble title and the corresponding territory.
There must be a reason why such a powerful warrior silently disguised himself as a knight's apprentice, and even became the chief of guard of the ruler of the Northlands.
