Volume 1 Chapter 71 The Night Banquet

For the next few days, Ruianna and Chrissy simply stayed in the last carriage, and everyone chatted and laughed all the way, and the boring journey was finally no longer so difficult.

The journey was generally smooth, and on the morning of the fifth day, the team finally arrived at Logs, the closest town to Grey Curtain.

Perhaps to save time and distance, the team did not enter the town, but went straight to the exit of the north gate of Logs, where it made a short stop.

The short waiting time passed, and soon there were two more carriages in the team, following behind the carriage where Thor was, and the guards also increased by ten, which seemed to be some powerful family in Logwood Town.

Thor suspected that the large-scale invitation might be some kind of proximity on the part of Lord Savion, but it had nothing to do with being an orphan himself.

As they pass by Logs, Thor and Shogues sit together by the carriage window and look out of Logs, enriching their travels.

Because I didn't enter the town, I couldn't see the details.

From the outside, Logtown and Grey Curtain Town don't seem to be much different, they have the same parapet, except that their parapet is not a stone parapet like Grey Veil, but a steeple wooden spire fence, and the buildings above the fence are faintly lit in the dark.

The overall layout of Logwood Town is not circular, it seems to be square, and those fences are arranged tightly and compactly without gaps, but the top cannot be patrolled back and forth.

Thor had always thought that Logwood seemed to be a place rich in timber from the name of the town, after all, Logs used to ship a large amount of timber to Grey Curtain every winter as winter support.

Chriss, who was in the carriage, explained that timber was actually only a small part of the trade between Logs, and that the real specialty of Logs was fruit wine, as the town was bordered by a large area of naturally occurring fruit groves to the west.

The rest of the journey is much simpler, taking more than half a day to reach the new town from the town of Logs all the way north.

Although I dare not say that there is absolutely no danger in the short distance, from the geographical environment of the four towns of Gongwei New Town, it can be regarded as entering the hinterland of the human activity area.

In the afternoon of the fifth day, the team finally reached the final destination of the journey, Newtown.

Newtown is arguably the most prosperous area in the entire territory, and from a long distance you can see a magnificent scene of lights flickering in the darkness.

When we got closer, we could see the solid stone walls rising from the ground, which was clearly not comparable to the rudimentary craftsmanship of Grey Curtain that was casually tamped with clay. Oil lamps were hung at intervals on the outside of the stone wall, as if to provide a quick response to an attack from outside.

The high stone walls were patrolled by men dressed in standard armor guards, and Thor even saw the arrow towers protruding from the stone walls, on which there were two legendary archers who had long since fallen looking around.

After entering the new town, the pavement of the stone slabs was neat and clean, the carriage drove smoothly, and the speed was completely released on the wide road, and finally it had the appearance of a gallop.

The surrounding houses are scattered, and there is no obvious sense of oldness. The streets are bustling with pedestrians with laid-back expressions on their faces, children playing happily on the streets, dizzying vendors hawking along the streets, and a variety of shops of all kinds.

It's just a quick glance, but thinking about the dirty streets of Grey Curtain that even wild dogs don't want to stop, Thor and Shogues are well aware that this is no longer a visible difference to the naked eye.

The people here have a comfortable pace of life, a safe living environment and a good quality of life, which makes the whole new town full of rich life.

The galloping carriage stopped in front of the lord's mansion.

Thor and Sorgeth, the two backpack geeks, had just jumped out of the carriage when they were stopped by the guards at the gate before they could sigh at the spacious gate and the manor wall, which could not be seen at first glance.

After a meticulous search and inspection, the men's sidearms were detained, and they were finally allowed to enter.

Then, under the guidance of the servants, the two came to the assigned guest room.

Although it is just an ordinary room, the bright and delicate oil lamp, spacious and soft bed, and the armchair with carved wood patterns all reveal the rich and luxurious quality of life.

"Hmm~Damn the rich man!" Shogux threw himself into the soft bed like a corpse.

Arriving at the lord's mansion, his freedom of movement was naturally restricted, and Thor sat in his chair and tapped on the armrest, thinking about how to realize his next purchase plan.

Soon a servant will come to the ceremony, hot water has been prepared, guests can go to the bathroom to take a bath to relieve the dust of the journey, and the dinner in the restaurant will start later.

There was no such thing as politeness, and Saul and Suggoth enjoyed themselves in the warm bathroom. It's a pity that they didn't bring a change of clothes, and although the two of them still looked like that when they came out, they were at least in good spirits on the surface.

Follow the servant who led the way through a long stretch of the red carpet to the spacious and bright dining room.

An elongated dining table sits on a parquet carpet in the middle of the dining room, topped with flowers, candlesticks, silver cutlery, ornate chandeliers, exquisite fireplaces, elegant tables and chairs, and everything in the room exudes a luxurious and rich quality of life.

Seen or unseen, well-dressed peers are greeting each other and taking their seats on either side of the table.

Shogues and Saul looked at each other and smiled, consciously choosing the end of each side of the long table.

Thor glanced at the still vacant throne, if he could see Lord Savyn today, the specifications of this banquet seemed too grand.

After a while, Bertha Agrlinton, who had changed into a slim dress, slowly arrived and sat down in the main seat in the eyes of everyone, and the feast began.

During the banquet, Thor took the time to glance at the strange girl sitting on the main seat, Bertha, who had passed the coming-of-age ceremony, had an unsurprisingly beautiful appearance and elegant and decent behavior and temperament, after all, the bloodline carefully selected by the lord and the tutors of the upper class were placed there.

The whole feast was actually not difficult, the sumptuous and exquisite food was accompanied by delicious and high-end dessert wine, and Saul and Shogues ate to the fullest. The two of them didn't even have to deliberately weaken their presence, and no one would pay attention to them during the feast.

The topic has been stuck in the business-related aspect, and Bertha is very aptly embodying the elegant gesture of a banquet host.

It wasn't until later that the topic somehow got to the ideal, starting from Bertha's right hand, and the person on the right side of the table began to speak in order.

Some people regard the development of the family business as an ideal, some people threaten to inherit the family, and there is even a guy who takes the opportunity to show his love to Bertha, causing a lot of laughter.

After everyone spoke in turn, it was soon Thor's turn to sit last on the right.

"I want to go and see in the wilderness. Thor grabbed the elegantly folded napkin and wiped his mouth and said, after saying that, he was afraid that he would be a little vague, and added, "After becoming an adventurer." ”

Not surprisingly, as soon as Thor's words fell, all kinds of meaningful eyes floated over, and Thor didn't bother to distinguish them.

Perhaps putting the word ideal together with the matter of adventure sounds like a joke and no glory at all.

After all, the profession of adventurer is not popular in the eyes of most people after all, some people may choose this path because of their violent and warlike character, but more people are actually forced by life to pick up the sword and go to the wilderness to die, facing the kind of life that eats and sleeps in the open and does not know when death will come.

Maybe it's because of the desire for those bloody battles and dangers, or simply the desire to go far and see the vastness and wonder of this world.

Thor couldn't tell why he had the idea, but he thought of it and said so.

"But you don't have to be an adventurer to go to the wilderness, you might be able to hire some powerful guards as a traveler. A teenager at the table made a point.

Risk-taking is a man's topic most of the time.

Thor shook his head.

"In my opinion, first an adventurer, then a traveler, then you will at least have the ability to protect yourself in the wilderness. Dependent on guards? No, it's a terrible feeling that fate is out of your control. ”
