Taigangda is a cliff castle that some geographers describe as a stepped city.

The walls were uprooted from the ends of the forest, stumbling across the ground, stretching out of a patchwork of stone bricks, planks, and sand, before plunging into the shoreline.

The exuberance was kept at bay on the periphery, and the camps were stationed everywhere, and it was impossible for the warlords and nobles to march their armies all there.

At most, gather equipment and food, show off your strength, and let them have some party, competition, or gambling on the grassy slopes outside the city.

From the beginning of the afternoon, some people broke away from the team and entered the city one after another.

Use the inhabitants as backdrops, imagine the streets as fake red carpets, snag their toes up the ramps, and then turn back to the slums with disdain.

In addition to the residences built by wealthy businessmen in the mid-rise buildings, some high-end cafes are also occupied by adults from all walks of life.

The aristocrats talked and laughed to a certain extent, the warlords struggled to adapt to the banquet costumes, and the warblers traveled back and forth, adding color to every corner.

The sun is setting in the west, the flower shop is hung with copper lanterns, and most of the guests have girls holding their arms, so they will stop for a moment before going up the stairs and choose a more beautiful flower to match.

Folding fans or hand-embroidery can also decorate female companions, and they decorate the men's feast.

Torches lit the pots, iron sticks were inserted into the grass, and rows of candles were placed at the ends.

The warlord's deputies and bodyguards gathered around the table and began to enjoy a cold meal in the afternoon, and naturally there were servants in charge of miscellaneous affairs inside and outside.

When the sun goes down, a huge tent is erected outside the castle, but it is not enclosed, it only serves to shield from the evening breeze.

Heavy long tables and chairs lay out under the tents.

The tablecloth should be unfolded by three people, and the maid should follow closely behind, preparing napkins, knives, and spoons for each position......

Some people will feel uncomfortable because of a certain animal steak, so they have to prepare a medicinal soup and put it in the common area.

The castle hall was lit with a stove, and the candlelight bathed the entire building in warmth, where warlord leaders and nobles gathered to wait for the banquet to take place.

Nagiya went up the stone stairs to the observation deck behind the wooden railing.

She nodded to the chief of military discipline who was guarding the place, and walked up to the girl, her eyes calm and her voice gentle.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to let me go, listen, it's really like my father's tone."

Cathy did not wear a gown, but dressed lightly, shaking the fine sediment in the wooden cup, and tilting her head to swallow the ale, like a sad child.

"I never taught you to drink like that."

"You're angry? Sorry, I forgot you don't like mentioning him. Court etiquette, famous wines...... Oh, and the crushed folded skirts and floral hair accessories? ”

She became irritable, and the effect of alcohol on the heart has never been divided between men and women.

Cathy snapped the wooden cup upside down on the armrest, the windowsill uncovered, the curtains and the ends of her hair dangling in the night.

"Ma'am, we haven't seen each other in years, but I already understand why you left us. King Langar can carry the entire kingdom, but he can't carry the identity of his father. ”

"He wasn't like that before, dear, something is changing......"

"What's the matter with me? Why should I understand him? I can shoot 200 paces with a bow and arrow, and I do better than my teacher in military strategy and town planning!

Madam, I agreed to the marriage proposal of the Lord of the Deep Court, and the king did not even hesitate or think about it.

After all, he thinks that I can only be a vassal of a certain man, and I have no qualifications to lead the party! He hadn't thought of his daughter for many years.

I'm proud of the last name, but he's never been proud of me. ”

Nakia patted the girl gently, and by imagination alone, she could understand how many disappointments she had experienced.

The girl who was crying in the garden, now occupied by some kind of extremism, did not hold herself and cry as she remembers, but smashed her fists against the railing.

The body is tall, and the dress has become a military uniform.

"Do you think you've been through a lot?"

"Isn't it enough, I ......"

"Tsk, honey, look at the men down there."

Nakia pursed her lips and smiled, her lenses reflecting the firelight, hiding her eyes, and turning to scan the hall.

"There is a story in the collection of the Shan Shan that the king went back and forth along the river in a huge boat. When the servants returned him to the elaborate palace in a palanquin, he said this:

'Look, I've traveled all over the land, and no one knows more than I do. ’”

Nagiya has a dignified demeanor, with an elegant bearing built up by books.

Cathy could hear the admonition, but she wouldn't accept it.

"No, I'm completely different from the kind of guy who sits in the palace, I've been through a lot of places, including battlefields, and I know what honor and pride are all about!"

Nakia looked at her like this, and a trace of loss welled up in her heart.

Then he turned the whole way with the perspective and looked out towards the lawn.

"Do you see those prisoners, who have lived in the mud, who have been in prison dungeons, who have crawled out of the arena alive, who are worthy to stand in the feast and eat?"

"I know, and I've never shied away from that bloody scene, and I'm no longer terrified by it!"

"What about a different perspective?"

"What do you mean?"

"Not from the stage, but off the stage. What about standing in the arena to see, standing in the pile of corpses, standing in despair to see? Have you tried? ”

Nagia was rarely stern, and she showed the aura of a teacher as she had when she was Anton Weisen, which made Cathy a little speechless and unable to refute.

She said.

"Adapting to cruelty is not called bravery, severing life and death is not called mercy, giving charity and mockery is not called generosity, and despising others is not called wisdom......

Condescending, not glorious. ”

Cathy leaned against the railing indignantly, knowing that these were the "Five Virtues of Knighthood", and that almost every book about elves celebrated these noble qualities.

In a sense, she felt that she was similar, but no one recognized or given a chance.

The prisoners on the grass were dressed as neatly as possible, and it was clear that they had a good life after leaving the athletic meeting.

They indulged in booze, devoured their food, and whistled at the warblers who passed by.

Tsk, easy to satisfy idiot.

These guys don't understand what ambition is at all, and they never willingly follow someone.

"Cathy, be careful, I'll call two horsemen to come up and accompany you."

"Any idiot wants to try Kingdom swordsmanship? Ask Arnoldra for a bonfire. ”

Cathy didn't care, and even made jokes.

"There are scenes that you don't understand at all, you think too highly of yourself and you look down on them too much. Anyway, if tonight is safe, you have to leave Taiganda and go back to Anton Weisen! ”

Nagia didn't give Cathy a chance to refute, she turned around and called the military commander, and told her again.

At this moment, there was a slight whisper on the grass, and the crowd was in a small commotion.

Cathy frowned, and she noticed that the prisoners had all laid down their food and looked straight at the entrance of the venue.

Someone was stepping on a grassy slope and coming at him.

Nakia's voice rang in her ears.

"Especially this person, you have to be extra careful."
