Chapter Eighty-Seven: Celebration Banquet
The road back to the castle was particularly lively;
The inhabitants of the town had long been informed that they had taken refuge in their houses during the fighting, and there were no casualties;
Not only the people, but even the soldiers who participated in the battle were not injured, and the good news had already come from the Warcraft Front, and the people who had come to celebrate had rushed in with them;
The road was lined with smiling people, holding their hands high and shouting Add's name;
Although Add's appearance in the mask is somewhat bizarre, this does not affect the reverence of the people, on the contrary, it adds a bit of mystery to the "not showing his true face";
With the mask on, Add doesn't have to control his facial expressions - it's quite relaxing, so to speak.
"Lord Add, it looks like the people are guessing your identity. Fang Dun said in a low voice, "I didn't tell you your specific identity according to your instructions before, so ...... now?"
"Not now. Add shook his head slightly, "That's fine." ”
After all, it's still far from really getting things straight...... What should be paid more attention is how to preserve strength and develop steadily;
Moreover, Add knew that this trust and reverence would not be diluted by the passage of time, and that as the remnants of the Akamian Mountain still existed, the monsters would still come to attack the town;
Each time the defense line succeeded in protecting the townspeople, the townspeople's respect for Eddie increased.
Of course, in addition to prestige, Eddie also reaped other benefits -
Cause and effect point!
Lots of cause and effect points!
Whether it is successfully building a new front, resisting the baron's attack, or killing the baron with his own hands, there are a lot of cause and effect gains;
In addition to the magic and skills he learned before, Add still has 8410 causal points left;
For a moment, Add simply didn't know how to spend it;
It's like taking the money from a suitcase to the supermarket to buy snacks......
Taking the primary magic analysis module as an example, Add can now learn dozens of elementary magic such as fireball and ice pick;
Of course, with Add's mental level, releasing a fireball requires condensing half a day's magic power, and the lethality is extremely limited;
According to Heathim's account, it is estimated that when the fireball first leaves the magic array, it is about the power of an ordinary torch, and after leaving the magic array, the power will be reduced at a high speed, and when it is about a meter away, only the strength of the match will remain......
It's completely to the point that circus performances will be disgusted and boring.
The other spells are similar, and there is no way to fight the enemy at all, and Add feels that it is a waste of cause and effect points to learn, so let go first.
There are some things that Eddie is interested in in the skill analysis module, but even if he learns it, it is useless at the moment;
For example, Add can now buy a method for making an arquebus for 5,000 causal points, however, he doesn't have the right steel on hand - the explosion of the chamber is a nightmare for the always cautious Eddie;
The level of steel in this world is not satisfactory to Eddie - most of what he can see is pig iron;
Due to the limitations of industrial technology, it is quite good for a craftsman to be able to make pig iron into a weapon;
Add had seen a cross-section of a normal broken sword, which could only be described as unsightly.
Eddie didn't dare to use it anyway.
Of course, there is good steel, but it is all from the hands of the great magicians - so they can have enough temperature;
However, it is not realistic to be a dignified "sage" and spend all day in a blacksmith shop;
Occasionally build one or two, but it depends on the face of the nobles of the palace;
As for the weapons of the minor nobles, they rely more on enchantment to achieve a certain strength.
I don't have to think about this road for the time being.
Let's get as much information as you can about the current situation...... With this in mind, Eddie entered the baron's castle surrounded by the crowd.
Since it is a banquet, it is natural that there must be enough people to be lively;
Generally speaking, the nobles' banquets are also attended by nobles - at least a knight;
But after all, this is only a barony, and among the nobles above knighthood, there is only one baron Fangdun;
Add remembered that there was one lying in the forest outside the town, but this was ...... I think my head has been cut off.
Eddie, who was curious about who the attendees of the banquet were, glanced at the invitation and caught a glimpse of the title "Blood-stained Man";
"It's a bit domineering. Add nodded, this ...... Should it be some special mercenary?
Baron Fang Dun, who was writing, smiled embarrassedly,
“...... This is the butcher of Zhenkou. ”
"There's a special naming technique...... "Add's facial muscles stiffened a little.
The feasts were mainly attended by the town's most important people—the heads of the guilds, the shopkeepers, and the famous craftsmen, as well as the bards, who were indispensable for the banquet;
The soldiers were placed on both sides of the road outside the castle, and were also well supplied with wine and meat, and even the militiamen who were used to make up the numbers today were paid for the wine and meat in addition to the bounty;
It was noon when Eddie returned to the castle, and the whole afternoon was spent inviting guests and preparing feasts;
The aroma from the kitchen grew stronger, and the town's guests arrived one after another—with gifts, of course;
What makes Eddie a little laughable is that most of these "gifts for the heroes who saved Maple Town" are for food;
It is inconvenient to carry a large amount of money, and it is even more inconvenient to sell it - doing this kind of thing is detrimental to the reputation;
Of course, Eddie doesn't care about face, but when he has a certain amount of face, it will become "prestige", which is an important hole card.
The idea of asking Baron Fang Dun for some entanglement must also be put on hold;
Asking the Iron Lancer for money before was forced to be helpless, not to mention that it was not easy for the baron to speak: if it was less, that little money would not be worth the prestige of compensation; if it was too much, it would inevitably be known by more people, and the loss of prestige would be greater.
I can only hint at it "slightly" when I leave Maple Town, hoping that the baron can understand something. Add thought.
Of course, Eddie was not short of money now, and he had found more than a dozen gold coins from Baron Blue Wolf before, so there was no need for Baron Fang Dun to see them;
Moreover, the jewels on the blue wolf are estimated to be able to sell for a considerable price, so in order to avoid gossip, it is better to sell them after arriving in the steel and wood city - it is estimated that the price can be quite a lot.
As night fell, the grand celebration banquet was finally officially opened;
The castle was brightly lit inside and out, and in order to clear up the great victory that had changed the fate of Kaedetown, the Baron had brought out a lot of good old wine - of course, Eddie would not touch it, and he personally felt that this kind of thing was unpleasant to drink, and it would affect his mind;
In the midst of laughter, the hero who saved Maple Town was just pacing back and forth in the banquet, occasionally responding to everyone's cheers, and more often listening quietly to everyone's conversation, not letting go of any valuable information-
After all, the problem of Fengzhen is solved, and the problem on his side is ......
It's not even officially started.
