Chapter Eighty-Four: The Banquet and the Way Home!
After Zhao Yun defeated Torres, the competition came to an end, and Zhao Yun won the championship.
The crowd applauded and cheered, as surprised as they could, and with the exception of those who had bet on the match, they couldn't help but curse Rejek and Torres for causing them to lose.
No matter what kind of mood they were in, they all remembered this competitive tournament champion who came out of nowhere, Zilong Zhao Yun Knight from the Eastern Empire, and similarly, as the object of Zhao Yun's allegiance, Han Ji was also known to many people.
This led to further recognition of his nobility, in other words, an increase in his prestige.
"Sir Han, I'm Torres Ragnar! Nice to meet you! Torres held out his hand to Han Ji with an aristocratic smile.
"Skusses Gruenward Han, it's an honor to meet you, Prince Torres!" Han Ji said with a meaningful smile at Torres.
"Looks like Jazz already knows something!" Torres had a relaxed expression and smiled generously at Han Ji.
"It's not a fact to hide, though!" Torres looked at Zhao Yun and them, "Sir, I hope you can attend the banquet held at the Sagoth Palace tonight, this is an invitation." Torres took out a piece of parchment stamped with the seal of nobility and handed it to Han Ji.
"It's an honor to have your invitation, and I'll be here tonight!" Han Ji took the invitation with both hands and nodded in reply.
"Sir, please take your loyal and reliable knights with you! I still have something to do, so I'll quit first! Torres glanced at Zhao Yun and Mulan, and left with a polite smile.
"I think I must have been invited by the way!" Han Ji said to Zhao Yun and the others.
"Let's go! We should go and get ready for the dinner that night! Han Ji said with a smile.
——————————————————
When night falls, the palace of Sagoth is lit up with bright lights, and a grand banquet is being held, where countless costumed nobles gather to play the organ, lute, and flute.
The hall is filled with hearty food, and guests can enjoy their meals and gossip about interesting gossip at will.
There are not many rules and regulations in the Nord Kingdom's banquet, even if the banquet is hosted by King Ragnar, they should still eat and drink, and it seems to be very casual.
The Nords don't have too many complicated rituals to follow, and for those who believe in the god Odin, except for the laws and customs that must be followed, everything else is very casual.
This situation will be more obvious in the older generation of Nord nobles, even in front of King Ragnar, they can still laugh and laugh and scold.
"Di Ligang, have you heard? Reyeke won't be at tonight's banquet! Malaair was gloating at his chosen companion.
"I heard that! It is said that today he had a real sword duel with a knight of a small foreign nobleman in the arena! Diri just shrugged his shoulders at Malail and said with a wicked smile: "As a result, he was beaten like a dead dog and carried out of the arena!" ”
"That's right! That's it! It seems that the news is spreading very quickly! Even you know! Malaal looked at Dirigang in surprise.
"I'm always happy to pay attention to any bad news from Reyek!" Diri just drank the ale in his hand happily, "That arrogant guy, this time you really lost all your face!" ”
"Malail, I'd love to say to that little nobleman in person, you've done a great job!" Diri just said to Malail.
"Dirigang! That little nobleman will also be at the banquet tonight, and I happened to deal with him! I'll introduce you to it later! Malail said to Dirigang with a smile.
"Malail! How did you know him? Diri asked, looking at Malail in surprise.
"He's the one who helped me catch Cole's vicious dog! I just wanted to thank him! Malail said smugly to Dirigang.
"Alright! Congratulations, my friend, you've finally done something to celebrate! Dirigang laughed and said to Malail.
"Dirigang, I promise, this is just the beginning of my rise to fame in the Nord Kingdom!" Malail said confidently to Dirigang.
"Alright! You're right! You will make a name for yourself in the Nord Kingdom, and everyone will cheer and celebrate Viscount Malail Tuya! Diri just looked at his little friend and said funny.
"Oh! Dilrigand, lo and behold, that little nobleman has appeared! Malail happened to be facing the door of the hall, and when Han Ji and his party appeared, he immediately found out.
Han Ji appeared gorgeously in the banquet hall with a group of heroes with explosive appearances, which immediately caused a commotion.
The suave Marco Polo, the handsome and sunny Arthur, the resolute and masculine Zhao Yun, the cold and arrogant Hou Yi, and the heroic and beautiful Hua Mulan were all wearing gorgeous, simple and generous dresses, which suddenly blinded the eyes of the onlookers.
As for Han Ji, he was very sad to find that he was the most good-looking and inconspicuous one in the team.
"Next time, I'll definitely bring the old cow with me! Let everyone know that I'm actually pretty good-looking! Take a look at me, everybody! Han Ji thought with a faint sadness.
"Sir Han! Nice to meet you here! Since the last time we parted, I have not forgotten how you helped me! Malail and Diri just appeared, and he enthusiastically took Han Ji's hand and said.
"Viscount Malail, it's also a pleasure to see you again! After all, we had a great time working together, my friend! Han Ji said politely to Malail.
"Sir Han, I would like to introduce you to a new friend, Viscount Dirigang Remard from Ferchen County in the Nord Kingdom!" Malail smiled and introduced Di Ligang to Han Ji.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Skusses Gruenward Han! Han Ji stretched out his hand to show goodwill to Di Ligang.
Di Li Gang also reached out and shook Han Ji's hand, "I'm Di Li Gang Remard, you did a great job in dealing with Rejek!" Di Li Gang laughed and said to Han Ji.
"Dirigang! Discussing other people's misfortunes behind your back is not in line with your identity, so you should pay attention! Garrard was strolling over at this time, and he said to Dirigang with a hint of displeasure.
"Garrad! I don't think so! Wouldn't it be nice to have that guy Reyek taught a lesson? I've had enough of his hubris, and I hope he'll be a little more restrained after this time! Another young nobleman of Nord approached, and he retorted to Garrard's words.
"Salton! I just don't want people to be obsessed with one defeat all the time, you know, no one can win forever! Garrard turned his head to look at the visitor and said in a deep voice.
"Oh! All right! Garrard, what you say always makes so much sense, I don't want to argue with you too much! Salton said to Galard, and then he turned his head to look at Han Ji.
"Get to know each other! I'm Salton Harold! Toldon stretched out his hand to Han Ji.
"Skuses Gruenward Han!" Han Ji shook Soldton's hand.
"Sir Han, I have to say, that knight of yours is really amazing in spearmanship! I watched that amazing game! Every shot he takes at his opponent is so wonderful that it is unforgettable. I've always remembered the bits and pieces of that game in my head! Salton deliberately exaggerated and said to Han Ji.
"Your Excellency! You've won a prize! Han Ji looked at Garrad's iron-green face next to him, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
Gallard and Reyek are obviously relatively close, and Salton has a good relationship with Dirigang and Malail, and the two sides are obviously not very good at dealing with each other.
After Galad came with a blushing face, Han Ji chatted with Salton and a few of them until Ragnar appeared at the banquet with Torres, representing the official start of the banquet.
Torres appeared in front of all the nobles of the Nord Kingdom with a new image, shocking many melon-eating viewers who did not know the truth.
Prince Torres became Princess Teresa, and what remains unchanged is that she will continue to take the throne of the Kingdom of Promise and become the first Queen of the Kingdom of Nord in the future.
The succession of thrones in the Nord Kingdom will inevitably set off a stormy wave, but all this is a matter of the future, and the impact on Han Ji has not yet been reached.
After rejecting Teresa's offer of allegiance to the Nord Kingdom, in Teresa's angry and disappointed eyes, Han Ji left Sagos with Teresa's favorite object, Comrade Zhao Yun, and returned to Zhivading City.
Brought back more than a hundred truckloads of goods, as well as a few orders for whiskey, from several fox friends and dog friends that Han Jixin knew, Malail and other scum lords.
On the night of the return, Han Ji and others camped in the wilderness.
"Sister Mulan! Hey, don't blame yourself too much! Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers! Isn't it just a few thousand dinars? Cheer up! You're going to be a Valkyrie! Han Jizheng comforted the depressed Mulan with an indifferent face.
"Little Brother Han! I'm a useless woman! I've caused you to lose hundreds of pounds of gold! I don't have the face to see anyone! Mulan was burying her head in her legs like an ostrich.
"Tursky! It's all your fault! How can you talk about the fact that we lost so much money in front of Sister Mulan! You say, you didn't mean it! Han Ji was pretending to be an orangutan at this time, and said sharply to Tursky.
"Sir! Tulsky is also for your cause, we don't have much money to squander, please think twice! Don't be easily influenced! Turksky looked at Han Ji with a righteous face, and comforted him.
"It's my decision to bet and I'm responsible for any consequences! Tursky, you don't have to say it again! Stand down! Han Ji said angrily to Tulsky.
"Sir! Turksky retires! Tulsky deliberately made a strong appearance of anger and said loudly, winking at Han Ji before leaving!
"Hmph, this Tursky, what a presumptuous! Question me! Han Ji said angrily.
"Brother Han, don't be angry! Mr. Tursky is right, it's all my fault! Mulan looked up at Han Ji and said.
"It's my fault that I've made all my mistakes, and it's me who caused you to lose money! To be a man of his word, I have decided! ......" Mulan said with a firm look at Han Ji.
"Sister Mulan! Come to my bowl! Han Ji looked at Mulan expectantly, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart.
"I've decided!" Hua Mulan suddenly stood up straight, picked up her big sword, and said firmly to Han Ji: "From tomorrow, I will go out to rob, and I will definitely come back to see you with a lot of gold!" ”
"......" Han Ji looked at the sky speechlessly, this script is not right!
