Chapter 009: The Temptation of Eternal Life
It's puzzling what the 'King of Lorcadan' and the Grand Duke of Camelot are talking about. After all, in the eyes of Edmund, the knight of the silver dragon, Prince Bellinger did not need to put on a flattering appearance at all. It was during this time that Edmund and Achilles were playing in the open space of the castle with their black foals. The former Duke of Camelot also invited Yang Jiangong to dine together. Clean your hands before taking your seat. Yang Jiangong followed Behringer's example, tied a white napkin under his neck, and then picked up the knife and fork. This was the first time Yang Jiangong had seen the diet of the great nobles of the Carmellot Kingdom, and the first dish that appeared on the table was a bowl of broth. After the second and third courses of solid food appeared, Yang Jiangong saw a variety of game, such as roast suckling pig, stewed rabbit, roasted eel, trout and carp, as well as roasted pigeons, roasted herons, roasted venison, and roasted marmots.
More absolutely and more capricious, there are roasted peacocks and roasted white cranes in the back. Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep are more common domestic animals, not to mention. Twenty dishes were set on the table. These dishes are obviously not something that ordinary people can eat. "Such a feast is according to the standard of a king."
Yang Jiangong did not react much to Bellinger's words. He deliberately tasted the staple food of the common people, white and brown bread. In Yang Jiangong's view, white bread is equivalent to fine grains, and black bread is equivalent to coarse grains. As for the taste of brown bread. It takes a lot of wood to bake bread, and the baking process is also very cumbersome.
So no matter how tooth-wrenching and throat-hurting brown bread is, it is still considered a superior delicacy because for many inferior people, they often don't even have brown bread in their rice bowls.
One of the world's most famous things about black bread is that it can be used as a weapon.
In the past few days, Yang Jiangong has read a chronicle of the Lol Cardin Empire, and a certain part of it has repeatedly recorded the stupid thief who sneaked into the poor farmer's house to steal, but unfortunately died under the black bread of the housewife. And when there are conflicts in ordinary families, there are countless men who die from the black bread attack of the...... As for what this thing tastes like, imagine for yourself.
"Well, then, let's take our leave, Lord Duke."
After the banquet, Yang Jiangong officially bid farewell to Behringer. Take the Lol Cardin boy Achilles and lead the black foal out of the Ice Fortress.
The smile on Prince Behringer's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Edmund, I agree with the Lorcadans joining the Kingdom of Carmellot. Before we return, you're going to do it yourself. The settlement of the Lorkadan people, well, on the plains that the Ice Fortress can overlook. ”
"As you wish, Lord Duke." Edmund glanced at Prince Bellinger in surprise and turned to do his duty.
According to the code of the Kingdom of Camelot, the Grand Duke of the Imperial Majesty has some of the power of the king.
There was no pressure on Edmund to carry out this order. As for whether King Camelot will agree, that is a matter that the Grand Duke needs to consider.
When the silver dragon knight Edmund turned to leave, and only Prince Behringer, the former Grand Duke of the Imperial Palace, was left alone.
His eyes instantly overflowed with excitement and excitement. "Eternal life, I have gained eternal life! …… Just for the price of signing a contract, you get eternal life. ”
Overwhelmed by ecstasy and shock, Behringer decided to ask the court scholars what the Divine Covenant was after returning to the royal capital on the safe side.
……………………
[After voluntarily signing the contract, any betrayal of the contract will be mercilessly punished by the Great Glory Space. And that's just a thought for you. Because whether the other party is faithful or not will be determined by your personal will. 】
With the answer in his mind, Yang Jiangong completely put his mind at ease. He held the dragon badge in his hand, and hung it casually on the belt around his waist. A bottle of elixir tricked Behringer into signing a contract. The reason why it is so smooth is because many people believe that the Lol Cardan people hold the treasure of the ancient empire - the secret of eternal life.
"My king, Achilles swears that when I grow up, I will always follow you and fight for you."
On the way back, Achilles rode on the back of a black colt without a trace of variegation, and the whole person seemed very excited. Although his little head was curious about what the 'Radiant Emperor' said to the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Carmerlot. Why did the other party's attitude change so much all of a sudden?
But Achilles never asked. Because in his eyes, it seems that this is how it should be. Every human ancestor was once a child of the Lordkadin Empire. And since they are the descendants of their ancestors, they should be respectful to the Radiant Emperor, and they should use their lives to practice the will of the Radiant Emperor.
"Achilles, give it a name."
Yang Jiangong had a smile on his face, and he didn't take the vow of a five- or six-year-old child to heart. He reached out and touched the foal's head, which had two ears like leaves, and large, dark eyes.
Strangely, its eyes and nose are far apart, while its nose and mouth are very close together. The eyes are also far apart, and there is a white line in the middle that separates them.
The horses in this world all have the blood of unicorns, and if they are judged by the eyes of modern people on the earth, they should be called divine beasts.
Yang Jiangong thought so.
"Dreadnought! Its name is Dreadnought. Be fearless like every Lol Cardin man! Achilles cried out loudly, and the black foal, as if sensing the will of his master, instinctively began to gallop and jump across the endless field.
Looking at Achilles, Yang Jianfeng thought of himself as innocent as he was a child.
But perhaps even he could not have imagined that the most loyal and heroic First Golden Dragon Knight under the throne of the Radiant Emperor in the future would be the child Achilles who is running on a colt today.
Returning to the temporary stronghold of the Lol Cardans, Yang Jiangong easily ordered, "We are advancing towards the plain and open land. Find the most fertile land to build a new home for the Lorkadan people. ”
Rest for the night, and the next day at dawn and tomorrow when the belly of the fish is white.
Eight thousand Lol Cardin, men, women, and children, crossed the line of the ice fortress without any hindrance, looking for a place to settle in a fertile field.
As for Prince Behringer, the former Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Carmelott.
He sent his silver dragon knight, Edmund, to personally bring people to help the Lol Cardans.
"Honorable King of Lol Cardin."
Edmund, the silver dragon knight, came to Yang Jiangong's side, dismounted and bowed slightly, "Lord Duke has set off to return to the royal capital. He ordered me to stay and help you build the town. From this day on, every Lol Cardan has the same rights as a subject of the Kingdom of Carmellot and is permanently protected by the Ice Fortress. ”
Yang Jiangong nodded slightly, and at an early moment, he found that the Ice Fortress located at the commanding heights not only added a new sentry, but also increased an army of about 1,000 people from nearby.
