Chapter 113: Banquet Preparations
"Mentor! I am back. The door to the Mentor's room was pushed open, and a blue-haired girl ran in out of breath, "Mentor, the residents who have taken refuge in the laboratory have just been sent home by me, and there are a few homeless people, and the head of the Adventurers' Guild has said that I can lend them a house for the time being." ”
"Well, good work, Saria." The mentor walked over to Saria, reached out his hand, and touched her head.
"Well, is it okay to let them go back like this? In case the enemy attacks again......" Xia Di asked with some confusion.
"You don't have to worry about that, the Knights have just returned." Saliya said happily.
"What?"
……
Night falls.
In the square in the center of the town of Yeovil, many residents gathered in the crowd, smiling and hugging as the knights unloaded carts of grain from the transports.
It is said that the food was transported from the local granary after the regular knights sent by the royal capital broke through the rebel-occupied city of Bath, and the replenishment of the food greatly alleviated the anxiety caused by the disaster during the day.
In addition, the Knights vigorously publicized the news of the victory over foreign enemies, which stabilized the hearts of the people, and this military and civilian celebration banquet organized by the Knights ushered in the enthusiastic participation of the people.
"Right, lift this down and put it on the table, the table is not enough? Borrow it from the people and ask them to register. Jester stood in the center of the crowd and instructed the knights to prepare for the feast.
Many people on the side also took the initiative to help.
In the center of the square is a large elevated platform with a bonfire burning on the elevated platform to bring a warm glow to the area.
Gulha stood beside Jester, watching intently as the inhabitants and knights prepared for the feast, and her heart was filled with emotion.
"The war is finally over."
"No, it's just the end of it." Jester shook his head slightly, "However, this battle has attracted the attention of the court, and there may be no room for us to appear, after all, the regular knights are here." ”
"Regular Knights?" Gulha looked around in confusion, as far as he knew, only members of the Lower Order had returned to Yeovil City, and no one from the other team. "Well, they're ...... now"
"Having already left here, since the barbarians withdrew very quickly and retained a considerable number of troops, in order to avoid the other party's comeback, the regular knights raised their troops to pursue them."
"Resolute, as the rumors say, it deserves to be a regular army......" Gulha was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile.
Unlike the lower knights, which are mainly composed of the second-order and the third-order who have only two heads and deputy commanders, and a large number of members, the regular knights are composed of elites in the army, and they are directly subordinate to the court. It must not be difficult to quell this war.
"Compared to me, you have done a great job this time, and you have been able to complete the task I assigned one step earlier than the Knights of the Round Table, and I am proud of you." Jester coughed lightly and said gently.
"No, it's all thanks to the help of those two people." Gulha smiled bitterly and told Jester about the journey.
After hearing this, Jester said with some surprise, "I didn't expect what the mentor said to be true, it turns out that someone can really save this city...... Ay? ”
Noticing Jester's surprised eyes, Gulha turned his head to see a familiar young man walking towards them not far away.
……
Upon learning of the return of the Knights, Xia Di entrusted Erin to Kailu and came to the square.
Sure enough, in the middle of the crowd, he saw Jester, the leader of the Lower Knights, who was talking to Gulha.
Xia Di looked around and found that there was no one else except for the members of the Lower Knights, so he walked towards Jester with the idea of trying to ask.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Xia?" Gulha also noticed the Xia Di.
"Oh, you're the ......" Jester immediately took off his helmet when he heard Gulha's words, looked at the young man solemnly, and saluted, "I heard Gulha say just now, it was you and Lord Chairu who helped us defeat the ancient monsters in the dungeon, right?" On behalf of the entire Order and the people of the city of Yeovil, I would like to thank you for your help. ”
"No, it's just a matter of convenience." Xia Di said politely.
"You're too modest, by the way, I'm going to hold a celebration party now, please come with Lord Chairu later, I want to show the townsfolk your merits......"
"Well, this is a bit ......" Xia Di himself is a relatively low-key person, and he can't help but be a little embarrassed when he encounters this kind of thing, he coughed a few times and tried to change the topic: "I care more about how you won than our affairs, although it is a bit impersonal to say this, as far as I know, your troops are lagging behind the barbarians and rebels, who can win the victory?" ”
"Oh, you're right, thanks to God's grace, we waited for reinforcements to arrive." Jester didn't do much to cover up, nodded, and told Xia Di the reason for the incident.
After Xia Di heard this, his expression became serious.
"In other words, is it the Knight of the Round Table who led the regular army to rescue you......" Xia Di asked.
"Yes, in fact, since last month, I have asked the court to send reinforcements, but because there is a rebel and thief named Agulang in the palace who obstructs it, the upper echelons of the palace have not been able to hear our voice, but fortunately, Lord Paladin found the damned traitor in time, got rid of him, and collected evidence to submit to Master Merlin, so that the court officially sent reinforcements." Jester said, his face a little gray, "...... Although there is no information released yet, judging from the current information, it is self-evident who is behind everything this time. ”
Jester sighed.
“…… It's the New Roman Empire that made the ghost, except for that country, there are almost not many countries that have the power to drive the barbarians, plus our operation this time, we seized a batch of flute-like props from the enemy's corpse, which is exactly the same as the props you brought from the rebels a few days ago to control the monsters, and after handing it over to the regular knights to study, they learned that it was made by the lost technology of the ancient Roman Empire, although ancient Rome has disappeared, but as its successor, the New Roman Empire has developed the same technology, It is not impossible to provide it to the barbarians. ”
Jester said all the thoughts in his heart, but Xia Di on the side was impatient and not interested in it at all.
Not to mention the relationship between Britain and the Roman Empire, he was almost calloused to listen to it during the game, and there was only one thing that was most important to him now.
"I already know a little bit about this topic." Xia Di interrupted Jester's words, "There is one more thing I want to ask than this. ”
“…… What the? Jester realized Xia Di's cold tone, a little unpleasant, although he knew that Xia Di was an immigrant from the Eastern Continent, and he might not have any feelings for this country. But abruptly interrupting the conversation is also a bit impersonal.
