Chapter 21: A Boring Drinking Party
The prosperity of the City Lord's Mansion was beyond Abel's imagination, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a large fountain, and the lights that came from nowhere shone on the flying spring water, shining with fantastic brilliance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The servants of the City Lord's Mansion who led the guests, each wearing black servant clothes, were all polite and thoughtful, while the guards who patrolled around were wearing half-body armor and holding long swords, revealing at least the momentum of a professional who cultivated fighting qi above level 4, showing the extraordinaryness of the viscount nobles everywhere.
Professions include warriors, knights, and assassins, all of whom are based on cultivating fighting spirits and have generated some special abilities.
Warriors are ordinary professionals, and most of the people who practice fighting spirit are warriors, and warriors can use almost all weapons such as swords, hammers, spears, etc.
The most powerful were the knights, who were well educated and had the most sophisticated resources that allowed them to have the most comprehensive training and the most sophisticated equipment, with horses and armor being their standard.
The Assassins were the least numerous of them, and in addition to cultivating their fighting spirit, they also had to learn a large number of methods to hide themselves, and the Assassins' fighting spirit exploded more violently, and at the cost of shortening the duration of the fighting spirit.
In the Duchy of Kamai, titles are difficult to obtain, and successive generations of kings have suppressed the number of nobles and formulated a series of regulations to reduce the inheritance of territories and titles, such as the rule that women cannot inherit titles, non-fiefdom titles, which will be downgraded every time they inherit, and if there is no heir, they will take back their fiefs, etc., in countless years of continuous requisition, countless noble families have disappeared.
And if you want to get a knighthood, there is only one condition, that is, to make great contributions to the principality. This was especially difficult to achieve in times of peace, and after war, the attainment of military exploits came at the cost of the death of a large number of quasi-nobles.
So in recent years, the contradictions between the king and the nobles have become more and more serious, the big nobles have continued to increase their strength, and the king has been looking for opportunities everywhere to strangle the nobles who dare to challenge the royal power.
As long as you look at the title of the lord of Harvest City, you can know that the title of the nobility of the Duchy of Kamai is low, the title of the lord of a large city is the viscount, and the city of the same size, in the adjacent Duchy of Thunder, is at least a duke.
Of course, these things are very far away for Abel, but in the carriage when he came, Marshall knight talked about the city lord and said it to Abel casually, Marshall, as a knight who has obtained a fief with his military exploits, does not care about these things, but just talks about them as an interesting matter.
It's just that Abel couldn't help but think of the great nobles mentioned by the Marshall Knight in order to fight against the king and constantly strengthen their strength, just look at the hundreds of guards in front of him, each of them is a professional, even if it is just a lowest-level warrior professional, the powerful combat power that these hundreds of people can exert can be worthy of the combat power of a legion of thousands of people.
The crowd in the hall was crowded, and to Abel's disappointment, the food from the City Lord's Mansion was disappointed, because it was winter, only pastries and barbecues were served at the buffet table, and red wine was well supplied.
With the appearance of the city lord Viscount Dickens, the cocktail party officially began, first the viscount's speech, although there were many people in the hall, but as a knight captain Viscount Dickens through a strong fighting spirit, let the speech reach everyone's ears, according to Marshall Knight, this is an annual show of strength, whether it is financial or strong force, which allows Viscount Dickens to better manage this vast land.
This is the most boring drinking party that Abel has attended, and Abel doesn't know any of the people here, but after Marshall Knight took him to meet a few friends, Abel returned to the corner alone, quietly watching the high-end party in this world, and also knew that it was no wonder that no food was prepared, because few people who came here took food, they were all holding red wine, and they were talking to people around.
In this environment, Abel's eyes became heavier and heavier, and he slowly fell asleep, and after a day of shopping, the noise around him was like a lullaby, until the end of the drinking party, and he was woken up by Marshall's knight.
When he returned, the Marshall knight laughed at Abel, and the knight didn't believe that a fifth-level trainee knight would fall asleep at the drinking party because he was tired from shopping.
Early the next morning, the Marshall Knight took Abel into the carriage and prepared to return to Harry Castle, and when leaving the courtyard, the butler Robin sent the carriage out of the gate, and Abel stuck his head out of the carriage and waved goodbye to Robin.
This action made the servant, who had been monitoring the yard all night, confirm that Abel was leaving, and hurriedly ran to report to his master.
"What, they went to the south gate?" Joshua heard the servant's report, and when he confirmed it, he immediately gathered his men.
Joshua's father is a lord, because he is good at management, he has purchased more than ten stores close to the main road in Harvest City over the years, and has almost mastered 50% of the market of ready-to-wear clothing in Harvest City, and is a real aristocratic businessman, and the strong financial resources also make the Lord's only son Joshua have better conditions to practice, and the 19-year-old Joshua is already a level 4 trainee knight, and the Lord has always dreamed that Joshua can make war exploits and become a fiefdom knight.
Because of these, the Lord has never been stingy with Joshua's growth, just from helping Joshua buy a hundred training swords, it can be seen that the Lord is invested in him, and Joshua, who lost the bet, did not dare to tell the Lord about it, just thinking about avenging the revenge first, and then finding a chance to talk to the Lord slowly.
A small group of twelve men was ordered, all of whom were strong servants of the family, each of whom was a horse and a sword, and Joshua rode a fiery red war horse, and the pursuit of thirteen men set out.
Marshall Knight was sipping a piece of red wine from a friend in Harvest City in the carriage, leisurely moving his body slightly with the ups and downs of the carriage, and the red wine in the wine glass did not move. Abel is trying to learn the posture of a knight at this time, but the carriage in this world is too hard, not even a shock absorption, sometimes a shock comes, before he has time to reflect, the red wine in the wine glass begins to shake violently, but Abel is not discouraged, carefully observing the knight, imitating a lot of joy.
Although the horses did not run fast, they were faster than the carriage for a short time, and the thirteen men were soon approaching the carriage, and Joshua's grim face showed a hideous smile.
"It's funny how someone dared to chase my carriage. Marshall Knight stopped his glass, a grim smile on his face.
Abel also sensed the abnormality from the shaking of the ground, he glanced at the Marshall Knight, because he came out with the Marshall Knight to attend the drinking party, he did not bring a long sword, but just took out his hand, loaded it with arrows, and was ready to fire at any time.
"Stop, stop the carriage, and the people inside will drag me out. Joshua commanded the 12 servants.
If Joshua had seen the carriage from the front, he probably wouldn't have done so, and the carriage could have had the coat of arms of a noble family on the front.
The 12 servants raised their swords and rushed towards the carriage with a waving wave, and the coachman knew that the Marshall Knight was in the carriage, so he was not in a hurry, but warned loudly: "This is the carriage of the Harry family, and attacking the carriage will bear the wrath of the Harry family." ”
The 12 servants who rushed up didn't know about the Harry family, and if it was the Marshall Knight's carriage, they probably knew about it, so the 12 didn't stop the horses' hooves, but still rushed towards the carriage and stopped the carriage.
Joshua had already caught up, and at first glance he saw the coat of arms of a very conspicuous white unicorn on the front of the carriage, and a trace of coldness rushed from his back to the top of his head, he actually led someone to attack a noble carriage, and the coachman's words were not heard clearly, but when he saw the coachman's fearless look, he knew that the other party's origin must be not small.
At this point, the attack on the nobleman's carriage was a foregone conclusion, and Joshua was already riding a tiger at this time, and he couldn't help but secretly kill in his heart, if he killed the coachman and the little blacksmith in the car, who would know that he did it?
"Kill them all. Joshua spat out three words grimly.
The 12 servants were stunned for a moment, they usually only helped the young master bully people, at most they broke people's hands and feet, and they had never killed anyone, but the young master's orders should also be obeyed, so the 12 people waved their long swords and rushed towards the coachman.
