Chapter 62: Ancestral Glory
Maybe for others, it is not difficult to choose to contribute without money, Uncle Vinnock was like this a few years ago, but when he was older and had more income from the farmland with the help of Arthur, he gradually began to choose to use money to solve his troubles.
But it was a problem for Arthur, not to mention who would take care of the farmland, and Arthur lacked a lot of time for those headache lessons alone.
Muttering all the way home, still without a clue, Arthur could only sigh and prepare to act the next day.
Arthur had never participated in the aristocratic banquet, and if he changed to two or one earthen buns, he would have some foreign appearance.
"Arthur, it looks good, it's pretty good!" Serena was sent in to help Arthur with his outfit before noon, but when she saw Arthur's costume, she felt that there was nothing she could do.
The hair is neat, and the large back-to-back head clings the whole loose hairstyle to the scalp.
The special magic potion setting water has no unnecessary miscellaneous smell, and is not afraid of sweating and oil, and it can be restored to its original state by simply rubbing it on the hair with a specific potion without even washing it.
"Needless to say, don't look at who I am, it's just a small banquet." Arthur patted the robe, which actually had a dusting function, and the robe would not be stained with fine hairs at all.
Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Arthur really didn't have any high-end aristocratic education, but he had seen a lot of European and American magic movies in his previous life.
Although there are differences in the etiquette of the two worlds, but these things are not reversed, and the banquet of a small nobleman in the countryside cannot have such high requirements, and Arthur is still a little worried about whether he is too dominant in the limelight.
"The banquet in the afternoon is a good time to choose." Arthur shook the invitation, the banquet was a little different from what he had imagined.
It is impossible to drive a horse-drawn carriage into a brightly lit castle at night, not to mention how much oil is burned by the lights all night, and it is a question of how the yeoman farmer will return home after the feast.
The purpose of the banquet is to talk about things, obviously this is not a simple drink and shouting twice, Uncle Vinock has long reminded Arthur to prepare early, talk less and listen more to the discussions of the people around him.
Once it involves your own etiquette, don't estimate, you must stop it immediately.
Listening to this teaching, Arthur felt the difference in the atmosphere of this banquet, and in short, he could not be careless.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door, and Arthur closed his book and looked up the window, only to find Uncle Vinnock standing at the door waving that he should go.
"Hehehe, uncle, your clothes are really good, but will it be the point?" Arthur went out and saw his uncle's dress, and said that he was really not the most conspicuous.
The lining is very ordinary, that is, the good clothes that every homesteaders will have, fine tailoring and decent fabrics, in Arthur's eyes, except for the pattern style is somewhat exotic, in other respects except for the fluffy ferrule of those funny lace-silk, it is somewhat similar to those nobles in ancient Europe.
However, the lining is a little different, the most obvious is a shining silver metal bustle, and the breastplate is engraved with a very mysterious pattern, and Arthur can only recognize that it should be an enchanted special equipment.
This cuirass and even the leather of the straps are very unique, and the seemingly natural texture contains undulations like clouds when you look closely, showing extremely unique characteristics.
"It's not heavy, it's just a little hot, this damn sun." It's uncomfortable to wear such a dress in the summer, and Uncle Vinnock can't help it, but he can't help complaining.
Arthur thought it was okay, after all, he was also wearing a magic robe, and although it was wrapped from top to bottom, it was actually very airy.
In addition, the temperature is almost 30 degrees, but in fact, it is far from being so hot in the interior, and the open plain climate also makes the air drier, and the lack of water vapor is not so obvious.
Of course, if they were dressed like Uncle Vinock, I am afraid that even if it fell another 5 degrees, they would still have to shout heat, in order not to be killed by the heat before attending the banquet, the two of them took a small boat and crossed the river, looking for shade all the way, and walked towards the town without hurrying.
"Yo, isn't this old Peter Ryder? And with your heirloom cuirass? You're really, why don't you let that kid take such a good thing with you? It's a waste to take it with you! A mocking taunt came from behind him, and Arthur could hear it with a playful jealousy.
"Bobik, don't think I don't know what your idea is, you can bring it if you have the ability? I heard that your ancestral sword is no longer good, right? My family just needs a stick to stab the fire, why don't I buy it for a silver coin? Uncle Vinnock did not show weakness at all, and Arthur on the side was stunned by his scathing answer.
What's going on? Could it be that someone is pretending to be an uncle?
Arthur's Uncle Vienoch was a good old man, and he was well liked among the yeoman farmers, although the family settled here much later than the early yeoman farmers.
But the ancestor of the knight, who could rival the mage of the mage, gave their family a revered status.
In Ade's own account, his ancestors turned the tide when they came to Morado and led the townsfolk to repel a large number of orc sieges.
However, at that time, he was also seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield, and the kingdom originally planned to seal a border area for his ancestors.
But the ancestors of the Peter Rider family did not accept it, and at the invitation of the Moradens, they stayed in this magical town and passed on the lineage of the Peter Rider family.
But now it seems that the choice of the ancestor of the Peter Rider family is not wrong, the bloodline of the Peter Rider family has not given birth to strong hereditary characteristics, to put it simply, there is no guarantee that there will be the same or similar strong people in the offspring.
The reason why the aristocracy can be passed down is also because it is possible to constantly find among the blood heirs, and the proportion of professionals who are born after receiving a good education can be found.
After losing his combat effectiveness, the ancestor must have anticipated that it would be difficult for him to protect his territory in the border region, and instead of making a risky choice, it was better to let the family multiply first.
Now it seems that he made the right choice, both Ade and Vic have shown their talents, and perhaps one day the Peterryade family will become a true inheritance noble, instead of old Vinnock carrying the armor of their ancestors to show off the glory they once had.
