Chapter 63: The Banquet Room
Sloan Bobique is the oldest of the Morado homesteaders, and the Pobique family is said to have settled in Morado more than 400 years ago, when the Morado population was less than a quarter of the population at the time.
From Uncle Vinnock's words, most of them could hear some pride, and according to Arthur's understanding, the so-called sword was actually no more than a sidearm left by an ancestor of a great swordsman.
The Great Swordsman seems to be on the same level as the Earth Knight, but in fact, the respected status of the Earth Knight is much higher than that of the Swordsman, one is wearing heavy armor and the powerful magical beast of the harness comes and goes like the wind, and the other can only hold a shield on the ground, waving a giant sword, and hold on.
The contrast between these two images alone is obvious enough, unless the swordsman reaches the real top level, he can stand on the same level as the knight.
"Hello Mr. Bobick." Arthur and the Bobik family didn't have any 'contradictions', touched the front of the mage's hat and said hello in a friendly way.
In fact, there is no contradiction between the Peter Ryder family and Bobick, what makes them quarrel is only the glory of their ancestors, in the final analysis, it is for the sake of face, Arthur looked at the two who were sweating, and insisted on wrapping them tightly, so he could only secretly say 'deserve it' in his heart.
All the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Arthur also found that there were more and more familiar faces around him, and they were all dressed in good spirits, and they couldn't wait to hang up the medals on their bodies.
Compared to Arthur, he is the most low-key, and he originally thought that he was a good robe, but now it seems that it can be called neat at most, unless he wears that set of Youlan gold-patterned robes, he can really only be low-key in front of this group of rich people who are eager to move their ancestors out to show off.
The location of the City Lord's Mansion is actually on an embankment near the Wizard's Tower, with a radius of nearly 500 meters, surrounded by a circle of solid rock nearly 2 meters high.
On the outside, the walls of the Lord's Mansion were not ornate at all, and there were obvious potholes on the surface, Arthur knew that this was a sign of war, and when foreign enemies invaded, it was the last line of defense, with the blood of nobles and yeoman farmers.
"The orcs have hit this wall three times, but never managed to breach it, one of which was stopped by the venerable Earthwalker knight Peter Ryder." Uncle Vinnock seized the opportunity to tell his own history, but no one came back to refute it, because their ancestors, their family, had bled behind this wall.
When a group of uncles heard this, they basically all looked serious, and they wanted to cross over to the battlefield and become a part of it.
Arthur could only shake his head psychologically when he saw it, and he could only put on a teachable look on his face to get through this difficulty.
"The Knight of Peter Ryder is naturally great, even my grandfather once said that he never surpassed the achievements of His Excellency Peter Ryder in his life, and we will never forget what he did for us Morado, as we promised, as long as our Canon family exists for a day, Morado will never be captured!"
If the uncles' clothes can be described as clean and angular, then the Frickcanon City Lord can only be said to be exquisite.
Dense gold stripes form a dense interlacing and arc, and Arthur finds a few familiar patterns, only to find that they have changed.
Almost every detail is very particular, and Arthur feels that this person is simply coming out to suppress the audience.
"Your Excellency Mayor is right, the Canon family is with Morado." The lone wolf on the side still had such a cold and hard expression, as if the blindfold was covering not only his eyes, but also his feelings.
Luckily, both the homesteaders and Frick knew the lone wolf's personality, otherwise they would have thought the sheriff captain was at odds with the mayor.
Taking advantage of the excitement, a group of big men and noble lords raised their hands and shouted loudly, anyway, Arthur was stupidly squeezed in the middle, and they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this group of middle-aged people at all.
"It seems that I am still young, and I should not be mixed with this group of middle-aged people." Arthur shook his head in his heart and sighed secretly, his two lives combined, I am afraid that he is not younger than most of these people present, but Arthur really can't learn the momentum of this midlife crisis.
"Uncle, what does that mayor have to do with your ancestor, why do you respect him so much?" Arthur is still a little curious, after all, this Frick usually lives in a simple house, and only comes out to show his face on important holidays, but on weekdays, he is a lone wolf to deal with more trivial matters, and Arthur is a little unfamiliar.
"Humph! How can you not admire, the old Canon is the general of the crusade legion in the north of the kingdom, he was really taught by his ancestors, he is the highest-ranking general of the Canon family in the past 300 years, and it is said that the kingdom has intended to open up a territory for him to be knighted alone. Speaking of this, Uncle Vinnock's pride came up again, and Arthur was embarrassed to see it.
In the eyes of the nobles and yeoman farmers, the glory of their ancestors is far more important than their own glory, and the wizarding world recognizes this, and the rich second generation will not only not be spurned, but will be sincerely admired.
Of course, if you do evil and destroy the glory of your ancestors, you don't need others to teach you a lesson, and your respective families have already dealt with it.
After their respective YY was finished, they still had to get to the point, Arthur and Uncle Vinock walked into the city lord's hall together, compared with the simplicity outside, the inside finally retained a strong aristocratic atmosphere.
The huge paintings hanging are almost all pictures of the battlefield, some wearing armor, some wearing mage robes like Arthur, and the bottom of the painting is also written with an introduction, which is obviously the glory of this noble family.
The Canon family has ruled the town as the lord of Morado for more than 300 years, and the ancestor who achieved nobility 300 years ago has naturally become the proudest existence of the Canon family.
The huge painting of the ancestor holding the head of an orc hangs in the center of the hall, and the vivid picture is unforgettable for anyone who enters the living room.
"That's a lot of food!" Arthur has been in the wizarding world for so many years, and he has never seen so many local 'delicacies', after all, even on Harvest Day and Ascending Tower, most of the food you can see is a common snack.
Arthur knew too well what the origin of food came from, not relying on the poor to try their best to conjure up seventeen or eighteen sweet potatoes, but the real people in power, using their rights to collect fresh and rare ingredients, and hand them over to professionals to make different combinations to find the best food.
This is true of French cuisine, Turkish cuisine, and Chinese cuisine is also inescapable, and the best cooks are those who have escaped from the court.
"Huh? Why haven't the two of them arrived yet? Something can't be wrong, right? Arthur looked left and right, except for the uncle, a few maids looked quite pleasing to the eye, but only two were missing
