The First Arrival Chapter 43 Lady Arena
The next day, Kurau held a grand award ceremony. Under the gaze of the lords and townspeople, Yi Ye put on a gorgeous costume, wore a small crown on his head, knelt down on one knee, and raised his hands flat, and accepted the sword of champion given by Lord Rodra. Everyone cheered for Yi Ye, daring to defeat the nobles twice, one of whom was also a skilled swordsman Voldelat, and won the championship of the athletic conference, he Yi Ye was the first in this town.
According to the regulations, today Yi Ye can become a nobleman for a day, he can live in a good aristocratic room, eat good aristocratic food, and civilians should bow their heads to say hello when they see him, and they can sit on an equal footing with some nobles, but when they see a lord like Voldelat, they still have to bow their heads to show respect.
Yi Ye enjoyed this feeling, but Fatis reminded him that it was better to be restrained, and after this day, it would be nothing.
Yi Ye walked around the city a few times, in order to make people remember him deeply and accumulate a little network by the way.
Suddenly, Yi Ye remembered that he knew a nobleman here. He was now free to come and go in and out of the aristocratic quarters, so he made a beeline for the shortest one.
Yi Ye knocked loudly on the door, and it didn't take long for the door to slowly open.
"Yo, Knight Yod, long time no see, remember me?" Yi Ye greeted politely.
"Of course, sir, your name is now known to everyone in our town of Kulau." Yod bowed slightly, showing respect to the nobles of this day.
"So, is Lord Radfa here?"
"Let's talk about it first." Yoder stretched out his right arm and pointed to the interior of the house.
Yi Ye walked into the room, it hadn't changed much, it was still as luxurious as ever.
"So, what about Lord Radfar?" Yi Ye walked into the hall and didn't see anyone.
"He's resting in the inner room."
"Is something wrong, why are you still resting in the daytime?"
"He's wounded."
"Hurt? How so. Yi Ye had some doubts.
"The last time he wasn't there, he went to crusade against the robbers of Sambuga, and he was injured because of it."
"Sambu strengthens the thief? I just wanted to ask about it, so tell me more about it. ”
Yi Ye roughly knew from the townsfolk that they had been defeated last time.
"Yes, I can tell you, but it's not an honorable thing, and please don't spread it." Yode's expression was a little worried.
"I promise." Yi Ye patted his chest.
"On that day, several Lord Boyer went out of the city with his troops to fight, and my lord Radefa did not need to send troops, but for various reasons, he still followed. A few days after their departure, news of a great victory came, but it was not so simple, and when they returned to the city, only a few hundred remnants of the army were defeated. ”
"I just ask for all kinds of reasons, and the news of the victory has been sent back, how can it be like this?"
"For the sake of the dignity of the nobility." Yod shook his head.
"The lords at the top blocked the news, after all, it is not a good thing for the regular army to be defeated by bandits, if this spreads, it will not only lose the face of the troops who went out, but also the face of the entire kingdom."
"Why was he defeated by the bandits, can you elaborate?" Yi Ye was still asking.
"I don't know the exact words, but I know from the mouth of my lord Radfa that after they surrounded the robbers of Sambuga, they were surrounded by another large group of robbers. And their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of ordinary bandits. Only a few soldiers with horses broke out of the encirclement and evacuated safely. ”
Yi Ye thought of the Green Forest Brotherhood that Geng Scar had said.
"Yes, it's enough for me to know this, so is Lord Radfa's health okay, can I go and see it."
"He has recovered a lot after treatment, but he needs to recuperate, and it is inconvenient to see people, please forgive me."
"It's okay, then I'll visit another day." Yi Ye got up and was about to leave.
"Wait, you have to pay attention to today's dinner, or you have to pay attention to safety in the future."
"I know about that." Yi Ye made an OK gesture and turned to leave.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, enjoying glory during the day and harvesting flying knives at night, this system, Yi Ye has adapted to it.
On this day, Yi Ye had a good time, but he still behaved very amiably, and he didn't put on a noble stand at all.
However, the highlight was the banquet in the evening, and Yi Ye went in early to familiarize himself with the environment.
Yi Ye gently pushed open the door of the inner castle, he was very excited, and finally one day, he could also enter this noble castle as a nobleman.
The inner city hall is filled with all kinds of fine decorations, including some famous paintings, ceramics, various ornamental equipment, and so on. Yi Ye couldn't afford to pay for everything, he only dared to watch from afar, and didn't dare to walk in.
There are many gates in the inner city, Yi Ye couldn't find the way to the banquet, so he had to go around casually, after several twists and turns, Yi Ye only looked at the decorations on the wall, and didn't pay attention to where he went, so he got lost.
Around the corner, Yi Ye saw a somewhat familiar face, it was a delicate face, with distinct facial features, but there was tenderness in the cold big eyes. This deeply attracted Yi Ye.
Yi Ye stared at her for a long time, and after the lady looked at him, her eyes moved away, and her expression was not very natural, and she could see that she was very nervous.
The servant who followed the lady was the first to speak, breaking the awkward scene.
"Master, the one in front is the champion of this athletic conference, Mr. Yi Ye." The maid whispered to the lady.
"I'm glad I will, I don't know Miss's name." Yi Ye answered.
"Irenora." The lady replied in a whisper. After that, he trotted all the way away. As he passed by Yi Ye's side, he saw a slight flush on her cheeks.
She was so beautiful that Yi Ye kept thinking about her face and name in his mind after that.
"Irina, that's a nice name."
In the evening, the banquet officially began, and with the soothing music playing, one by one the nobles dressed in decent costumes slowly entered the hall, behaving dignifiedly, looking noble and elegant. One after another, when the people were almost together, Lord Rodra officially announced the beginning of the feast.
The banquet was filled with sumptuous food, but the nobles were just in groups of threes and twos, with wine glasses in hand, talking about something elegantly. As the champion of the athletic conference, he didn't feel much good treatment, because Yi Ye had always been alone, and no one was willing to take care of him, which was a lot worse than he imagined.
Voldrert seemed to have a very high emotional intelligence at this time, and seeing that Yi Ye was alone, he came to talk to Yi Ye with a wine glass.
"Yi Ye? Why, it feels like you're not very satisfied. Voldelatte took a sip of his wine.
"Not really."
"If you have any great deeds, they will stick to you."
"My lord laughed."
"Yi Ye, I see that your swordsmanship is good, and you have a troop, if you work under me, then I will keep you rising step by step, maybe I will also crown you a nobleman."
"Yes, my lord, I'll be happy to serve you, but for now, forget it."
"I won't force you, come to me when you want."
"Yes. I will. ”
"Also, I want to remind you that you have to be careful in everything you do, you won't live long if you make a small mistake, these people are more intelligent than you think."
"Thanks for the kind suggestion, I'll keep it in mind."
Voldrert then turned around and threw himself into the conversation of the other nobles.
For his suggestion, Yi Ye understood, those things in the past were over, but now that he has a little fame, he has to be cautious in everything.
At the banquet, many nobles brought their children out to seek marriage. Yi Ye saw many beautiful women in the back, and it could be seen that they had painted makeup, but they did not look charming, and the elegance of their manners attracted Yi Ye, although Yi Ye felt that they were all good, but he couldn't find that heart-warming feeling. His eyes searched eagerly, looking for the lady named Arena. However, due to the large number of people, he couldn't walk around, and he didn't find this lady.
Then there is a link where the champion of the athletic tournament can dedicate the glory of his championship to a certain lady.
Under the gaze of the nobles, Yi Ye stepped onto the high platform. There were so many people below, all of whom were nobles, which made Yi Ye very nervous.
"Ai, Ms. Arena, I dedicate the glory of this championship to Ms. Arena." Yi Ye's face flushed, and he held his breath before stammering.
Under the cheers of everyone, Irena also blushed, stood beside Yi Ye, glanced at each other, and then looked at the ground.
After this handover ceremony, Yi Ye was no longer a nobleman, and all his glory was now focused on this lady.
