Day by day. The Great Army began to withdraw. The shadow of war, like the bitter chill of winter, began to fade away from the land of Hammondal.

Without the threat of war, the people of course cheered and held a grand celebration spontaneously.

The excited lords invited the venerable Lord Fowler to preside over the work, and that evening in the open space where the lord had given his speech at the gates of the town of Hammondal, a roaring bonfire lit up the surroundings as if it were day. Barbecue racks were set up on top of the campfire, on which pieces of barbecued meat were sizzling with oil and water, and in the middle of the clearing, a large table of many tables was piled up with mellow ales and all kinds of delicious food, although somewhat rough but not lacking. Read good books, stay tuned

All the people put on the good clothes that they were usually reluctant to wear, and carried out a carnival in the open space, and the men sat around and touched the wine glasses and drank heartily, one by one, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and the corners of their mouths hung with roast meat foam and drank to and fro, and their voices were loud enough to wake up the brown bears that were still hibernating in the surrounding mountains; The women who eat like Sven are also piled up, talking about the gossip topics that are not nutritious, such as whose children are getting cuter and cuter, whose daughters are getting married, and so on, and let out bursts of low laughter from time to time; The mischievous children laughed and ran around in the crowd, playing a game of battle between the lord's guard and the elven army, knocking down something from time to time, making the scene even more noisy.

Some of the more artistic lords also took out their musical instruments in one of the open spaces and formed a makeshift orchestra, which played some old dance music, and from time to time the lords danced cheerfully to the tune, singing and dancing to the tune.

On the other side, a bard was playing with his harp, praising the great deeds of the lord with a new poem, and his beautiful singing voice attracted many young girls who longed for heroes, and they sat around the bard, beating the beat with their songs, and their eyes were full of boundless admiration for the heroes in the poems.

Without exception, these girls all dressed themselves up in a show, and some of them were bold and even wore thin clothes despite the cold weather, revealing their graceful figures. Even more wildly, he even exposed his chest and arms, which led to Hammondal's hot-blooded young men all with straight eyes and nosebleeds tonight.

The maidens did this only to attract the young lord, who was sitting by a campfire not far away, with a glass of wine and wine with the old Kobe, to look at themselves and see that the lord was not only young but also single.

This is a veritable single aristocrat, whether it is his status or his heroic deeds, it is enough to pose a huge lethality to a group of ignorant girls, and it is not abandonable that such a situation will occur.

However, the girls' scheming was in vain, because tonight, the beautiful sorceress Ashtemp also dressed herself well, and happened to be sitting next to the lord with a smile. Her presence overshadowed all the women present.

This is recognized as the most beautiful woman in Hammondale, this mystery is contrary to the iceberg appearance of the past, shining brightly, and a pair of beautiful eyes are constantly turning around on the face of the lord, so that the girls who peek at the situation here from time to time are one by one, gritting their teeth with hatred but helpless

The capital is not as rich as others, and the ability is not as big as others, not to mention that they are also the lord's personal magic advisers, and they have the huge advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first.

They didn't know that at this time, the female magician was also a little helpless and angry in her heart. Because of the delay in dressing up, when she arrived, the lord who had been invited by the people to participate in the carnival had already drunk and hazy with the old Kobe, and he didn't notice her at all, let alone her dress up today.

This situation made Robert and Polly and the others sitting around secretly laugh in their stomachs.

Of course, the performance of these nasty guys could not hide the eyes of the female magician, so the female magician hated the troubled old Kobe Bryant even more, because after this old man knew that the lord was coming, he went home and took out all the good wine he had treasured for many years, and then found the lord. Say anything, have a few drinks with the lord.

Chen Jian, who had not experienced this kind of scene for a long time, had also been poured a lot of cups by the enthusiastic lords, and he was full of pride for a while, feeling as if he had returned to the good days when he was young and debauched at school, and shouting at a group of fox friends and dog friends to toast five or six times, and immediately fought with old Kobe, a famous wine wilter in Hammondal.

The lord was so appreciative of his face, which made the people even more excited, and soon the ale prepared in advance was swept away by everyone, and the old Kobe Bryant, who drank a little indistinguishable from the east and west, the north and the south, immediately threw out the key to his wine cellar, and let everyone move it at will, so that the old Kobe, who had always been like an iron rooster, deeply regretted it for a long time after waking up the next day, because his wine cellar was emptied by everyone that night.

Since then, the elder Kobe Bryant has gone out to drink with people, and he has never brought the key to the cellar with him.

But even so, the supply of wine still can't keep up with everyone's consumption, so those who still have wine at home also contribute all their private collections.

After this night, Hammondale's liquor was all depleted, leaving the people without alcohol for a while, and the old Bryant's tavern had to be closed for a long time until new liquor was brewed.

And more than 20 new big-eared monster soldiers who joined the lord's guard also joined the carnival tonight, for these new faces, the lords were originally wary, but when the lord came with the big-eared monsters, he first took Orison's big hand in front of everyone and raised it high, announcing something to everyone: "This big-eared monster, his name is Orison, he is very brave and loyal!" When I was chased by the golden dragon, he was the first to risk his life to come to my rescue! Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to kill that golden dragon, so to speak, he is my savior! So, from now on, he is not only a member of our Hammondale, but also a good brother of my Chen Jian! Everyone help me greet him and his companions well, lest others say that I, Chen Jian, am an ungrateful person! ”

The lord's words caused an uproar among the lords, and the eyes of the big-eared monsters changed a little.

Everyone knew that many guards and militiamen rushed out of their homes that day to help the lord fight the golden dragon, but they didn't expect that the first one to appear would be this big-eared monster, and it also helped a lot.

Although it is a bit incredible, but the lord has said so, and the people feel that this matter should not be fake.

Of course, Orison knew that the lord was lying, and he wanted to explain it to everyone, but the lord stopped him. Read good books and pay attention

"If you want to fit in with these people as soon as possible, and really become a member of Mondale, you'd better keep silent about this!" The lord whispered in his ear.

So Orison had no choice but to stop talking.

In order not to disgrace the lord, the big-eared monsters were reluctantly accepted into the carnival crowd by the lords, and sat not far from the lord, and some daring creatures began to try to contact and talk to the big-eared monsters.

The big-eared monsters are obviously a little uncomfortable with this environment, and they are very restrained, and they are just like the humans who approach them, they are all talking cautiously, for fear of causing some misunderstanding.

Chen Jian was a little dissatisfied with this scene in his eyes, but this kind of thing is not in a hurry, at least the beginning is already good.

To be more secure. He also let the half-elves and the big-eared monsters sit together, accompanied by the captain of the guard, these guys relaxed a lot, and the leaders were also a little relieved.

Slowly, the two sides talked more, and occasionally there were people who had a drink with the big-eared monsters, and the blacksmith Old Seda was very successful, and he was the first human to dare to toast with the big-eared monsters.

As he toasted Orison with his glass and thanked him for his help to the lord, the atmosphere began to change, and both humans and big-eared monsters were visibly relaxed.

And with the change of atmosphere, there are some bold children who run to the group of big-eared monsters, curiously looking at these green-skinned ugly guys, one of the children also reached out and touched the body of a big-eared monster, wanting to see if his skin is green because of the paint, and then laughed happily, this action made the big-eared monster who was touched embarrassed, but also made the child's mother almost not scared out of heart disease.

But in the end, what the child's mother feared did not happen, and the big-eared monster just reached out and touched the child's head, and then grinned.

This friendly action made the children more happy and the atmosphere more harmonious.

The revelry lasted all night, and every year on this night, the people would spontaneously revel, and eventually formed the local custom that became known as the "Hammondale Mardi Gras" on the mainland

That night, the lord was so drunk and unconscious that he was on the edge of the campfire, he held a wine bottle in both hands, his head rested on the lap of the beautiful magician Ashtemp, and the corners of his mouth drooled and snorted, so that the old butler Fowler was worried about the lord's body and sighed that the lord did not have the demeanor of a nobleman, and the old man, who had always been strict with aristocratic etiquette, thought that he had not fulfilled the responsibilities and obligations of a noble butler, and the lord who had caused him to make a fool of himself in public, and blamed himself for this.

However, the lords' opinion of the lord is completely different from that of the old butler, and they feel that such a lovely lord is much better than those noble lords who are always high and never ask about the suffering of the common people.

Although those nobles are noble, the people only fear them, not respect; And this lord made the lords both fearful and respectful, as well as deeply loved.

Whether it was the lord's civilian origins, his brilliant achievements, or his benevolent government, and his always gentle and friendly attitude towards the lords, the lords had a strong affection for him.

Before this lord took office, the lords privately addressed the local lord, and they only used the polite title of "lord lord". Don't be a bold guy who is dissatisfied with the lord, and will secretly add some insulting prefixes in front of these four words, such as "bastard"

But now, the lords' title for Chen Jian, the new lord, is "our lord", and the words "we" have clearly represented the recognition and love of the lords for Chen Jian, the lord.

In order not to let the lord catch a cold, the angry old butler commanded the half-elf Pete and the big-eared monster Orison to carry the lord back to the camp, the weather is so cold, if you really want to sleep in this clearing for one night, you must not think about it the next day, you must be sick.

The captain of the half-elf guard is out of the realm of Miaoxin-sama's Ancang and the big-eared monsters. I'm not drinking, so I'm quite sober; And the big-eared monster Orison, because he was in a strange environment, he couldn't let go, and he didn't drink much, these two dereliction of duty in the eyes of the old butler who did not persuade the lord to drink less alcohol After being reprimanded by the old butler, he quickly lifted the lord and trotted all the way back to the camp.

It is worth mentioning that the old butler's opinion on the half-elf Pete and the big-eared monster Orison has also changed.

Half-elf don't say it, this guy has been following the lord before and after the saddle horse since he joined the guard, he is loyal, and he once saved the lord's life, plus he has human blood, and the old butler accepts him as a matter of course.

However, the old butler has always had prejudices about the big-eared monsters, although the lord did not listen to the persuasion of the people, and insisted on accepting these big-eared monsters to join the lord's guard, but the old butler has always been wary of them.

But tonight's lord's words made the old butler cry grateful to Orison, the big-eared monster.

The lord has said that this big-eared monster is his savior!

He, like that half-elf, saved the lord's life! Although I don't know how the lord used to make these non-human guys die for him, their actions have undoubtedly proved that the lord's words are not untargeted.

Therefore, the old butler, who was also desperate for the lord, began to wonder if he should also try to accept the fact that these non-human fellows were also loyal subordinates of the lord.

Today's reprimand for Orison was just a temptation on his part, and the old butler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this guy so obedient.

He had been worried that this guy would turn his face and become fierce because of his words.

The relieved old butler thought about the few capable generals under the lord now, and then he found out. In addition to himself and Wendel, these guys are simply a bunch of guys who can't get on the stage.

Robert is a notorious liar, Polly is also a hated thief, Half-Elf Pete is a half-hybrid, and Orison is a former big-eared monster robber, of course he says he is not.

The only one who is normal is the female magician Ashtemp, but her temper is not ordinary.

It was incredible that the Lord could bring such a group of people together and defeat the invading elven army with them and the guards.

All this made the old butler have to re-examine these guys who were once not worth mentioning in his eyes, and even more so to reconsider the theory that the lord said.

Aren't race and descent really the criteria for determining whether a creature is good or evil?

The old butler followed behind the half-elf and Orison, hurrying on his way, pondering this new idea, which was a little difficult for him to accept.

Another figure hurried away with the old butler, and that was the sorceress who amazed everyone tonight.

By now, almost all of Hammondale knew about the glamorous witches' devotion to the lord.

And the female magician herself also felt that she had shown her attitude clearly enough during this period of time, but the lord didn't know what was going on recently, and she turned a little blind to her own transformation, which made the female magician who was secretly moved by the spring heart angry in private.

Is it difficult to take the initiative to confess yourself? How does this make a woman pull her face? Ashtempe felt that he was now more troubled than facing an unsolvable magical puzzle. Please pay attention to reading good books and songs

This lord obviously seemed to have a little bit of that meaning to himself before, and he peeked at himself from time to time with that kind of nasty eyes, but what's going on lately? Although that kind of look still shows up occasionally, the number of times has decreased a lot.

Does he have any other women he likes? This speculation upset the sorceress for a while, but she immediately overturned it herself, because she had been tired of being around the lord lately, and she hadn't seen any other women around him.

Could it be because of the appearance of High Priest Ryan? So the lord is angry? She often stayed with High Priest Ryan for the sake of magic some time ago, and she was also sensitive to the other party's good opinion of her, but she always thought that the lord would not mind.

Or is it something else?

The bewildered sorceress thought that the reason why the lord was reluctant to face this relationship was only because of the strong personality that the sorceress had always shown and his own machismo and self-esteem.

Looking at the hateful creature in front of him, who was being carried by a half-elf and a big-eared monster and slept like a dead pig with a wine bottle in his arms, the sorceress really wanted to research a magic that would make people tell the truth at once, so that he could immediately tell his true feelings about herself.

At this time, Orison's feet gained a little weight, and he almost fell to the ground.

Be careful! The sorceress cried out in fright, and hurriedly ran forward to support the lord's body, and her loud scream startled the old butler who was about to speak out against the big-eared monster.
