Chapter 381: The Night Banquet (I)
Even though the dynasty has fallen apart, the luxury of the dynasty has not diminished in the slightest. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Dur Castle is a good interpretation of this. The eiderdown futon used in the guest rooms and the banquet hall are decorated with silver utensils. Overhead, and on the wall hung an almost transparent goat horn lamp, covered with a layer of transparent glass lampshade. The rarity of glassware is still higher than that of gold and silver jewelry, and although there are many goat horns, it is only by processing a thousand goat horns that such a pair of almost transparent colors can be imagined.
Every chair in the banquet hall was carefully carved, Wei Xu didn't know wood, but just from the delicate texture and faint fragrance on it, he could guess that the value of this wood was definitely expensive. The napkins used by the guests are all pure white fine silk, and various patterns are embroidered with gold thread, including bear-shaped, horse-shaped, and wolf-shaped, which at a glance are exactly the flags of their respective territories.
"Oh, that's magnanimous." Robben was originally from a small tribe on the Knife Ridge, and it wasn't until Wei Xu became a lord that he didn't pay much attention to this kind of luxury in enjoyment, so he was naturally dazzled when he saw this situation.
Wei Xu shrugged his shoulders noncommittally at Robben's exclamation, it was not difficult for the Half Moon Collar to get these things, but they were all decorations, and he didn't care very much. And if it's pretty, there's a lot more beautiful things on the earth.
"Just know how to enjoy!" Baglouf snorted softly, clearly disliking such extravagant things.
Wei Xu and Baghlouf were not the first to come this time, their arrival naturally attracted the attention of many lords, some of them were malicious and some were kind, but more of them were insensitive. Skyrim is also a place to rank seniority, the first row of five seats is still empty, and the four seats on the left below are the East Collar, the Rift Collar, and the White Land Collar, and at the end are the Dongbao Collar. The four seats on the right are Hafenga collar, Xueman collar, and Ruichi collar from front to back, and Wei Xu, the new half-moon collar, is the last seat.
After everyone had come to their seats, Evosis, as the host, gently tapped his silver cup with a small silver spoon, signaling everyone to be quiet.
In fact, there is not much noise in the hall, which of these lords will be a fuel-efficient lamp? Each one has its own thoughts, and one by one they all sit there in a muffled voice, tapping their own little abacus. The only one who is talking about it is Wei Xu and Bagrove, a team of old and young. Wei Xu is too lazy to think so much, if there is anything that is not good for him, and he can't say it well, then he can flip the table.
None of these lords, except for Bagruf, Wei Xu was willing to associate with them. Uffosis of Hafinga is difficult to fathom, and Ufrik of the eastward is too powerful and too thick-skinned. And Ruichi's Igmund is so hollow that he doesn't know whether to pretend to be a grandson or a real grandson, and Lord Leila of the Rift can be said to belong to Igmund as a difficult sister, and his son Harald is not bad, both in terms of vision and courage is much stronger than his mother. The remaining Skad of White Land and Collier of Winter Castle belonged entirely to Uffric's diehards, and had nothing to say to them.
Wei Xu and Bagluf talked about leading troops to fight for a while, and then talked about governing the place, and it was not until the clanging sound of Ivsis gently knocking on the wall of the cup came that they stopped. The few lords who were eavesdropping with their ears on the side were also a little disappointed, straightened their clothes and sat back. They originally wanted to hear if they could get any confidential content, but Wei Xu obviously didn't give them this opportunity.
"Uh-huh!" Epsis cleared his throat before he began, "Welcome to all the lords of Skyrim to come to my Dugu City at this time, first of all, please take a seat with our Senate representatives!" ”
Her voice is unusually good, not the kind of crisp and tactful girl-like style, but a sense of temptation of a mature woman in it.
Although the empire was weak, the few lords who were opened to send off Ma Wei did not dare to slack off, and stood up one by one and saluted the four old men who had just come closer.
Wei Xu at the end was naturally the closest to these elders, and the eldest elder at the beginning was estimated to be two meters tall, walked straight, and looked extremely strong. The only thing that can prove his age is the gray beard. The second elder in the back, who was dismissed by Wei Xu, was hunched over his waist, making his already not tall figure even lower, compared with the big elder in front, it was simply a heaven and an underground. The third elder is a Gaoyan person, and he has one of the biggest signs of the Gaoyan people—old age baldness. The Four Elders are the only women among the four Elders, and her skin looks well-maintained, not to mention that it can be broken by blowing, but there are not too many other folds except for a few forehead lines and crow's feet. The four of them were followed by an imperial general, with a resolute and weather-beaten face, and a gilded imperial armor that, although a little old, was still polished. I think this is the famous General Tulius.
Naturally, there are only so many people in the Senate of the Empire, but these four people who are here today are definitely guys who can represent the entire Senate.
"Hmph...... Rest home! After a few people passed by Wei Xu, he obviously heard Robben behind him muttering in a low voice.
Wei Xu glared at him fiercely, although Robben's muttering voice was so small that no one heard it, but it was naturally a bit reckless to say this in front of the public.
Robben thought that no one could hear his muttering, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Wei Xu in front of him turn his head and glared at him fiercely, he hurriedly shrank his head and stopped speaking.
The elders sat down, and Tulius followed in the last seat, which could be regarded as representing the strength of the Imperial military. He first looked at Baghlouf, nodded lightly in eye contact with the old friend, and then turned to the other side, the opponent he had fought for many years, Ufrik. After seeing this ambitious guy, his face immediately darkened.
The elder sat down, and first said a long paragraph, to the effect that the empire was in danger, first the royal family was assassinated, and now he forcibly expelled Somer's forces, so I also hope that the lords can closely unite around the Senate, and the Senate will lead everyone to overcome obstacles together......
Wei Xu wondered, this great elder who looked like five big and three rough could actually sprinkle hundreds of sentences after these few sentences, making it the same as a speech. Anyway, Wei Xu was not interested in listening, staring at the roasted whole sheep in front of him in a daze, and swallowed a wave of saliva. Looking to the right, this lord of Ruichi was also looking at his nose and nose, looking preoccupied, if it weren't for his slight snoring, Wei Xu would really think that this benevolent brother was listening carefully. Further to the right is Baghlouf, the old guy who is looking at the Great Elder with bright eyes, and from time to time he makes a frown with the Great Elder who is giving a generous speech, quite a feeling of being a scholar.
Wouldn't he really yawn? Wei Xu swallowed another mouthful of saliva that appeared because of the lure of roasting the whole sheep in front of him......
"Cheers!" In a daze, a deafening shout pulled Wei Xu back, and he hurriedly picked up the cup in front of him. I muttered in my heart...... It's finally time to eat......
