Chapter 18: The Welcome Banquet
"Glory is with you, Your Majesty Oberon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Oberon gracefully reached out to his side: "This is my queen, Titania. ”
A beautiful lady with the wings of the queen's butterfly stood beside the king, dressed in a gorgeous emerald green dress adorned with intricate lace, but pale in comparison to the queen's countenance.
"You are as beautiful as the moon tonight, my esteemed lady. ”
Magellan wisely bowed his head and did not speak, and gave Professor Granger the task of complimenting the queen, who did not disappoint everyone.
Titania let out a burst of crisp laughter, and in a country where everyone spoke like a child, the queen's voice was the most mature, like a maiden.
"Our guests are polite, but they need not be so formal," said the queen unhurriedly, with a burst of laughter in between, "and I am sorry that this battle has made you nervous." So, let the feast begin. ”
"The banquet begins. The king solemnly called the feast to begin, but his voice always had the feeling of a child playing at home.
When Magellan and Professor Granger looked up, they saw that the elves had converged on their heads as a river of light.
"Happy goblins live in the Black Forest,
Inside the forest.
Their king is the wisest,
Smartest!
Their queen is the most beautiful,
The most beautiful!
Their friends will have good luck,
Good luck!
They sing, they dance, they drink juice,
Juice!"
Cheerful music sounded, led by a bard, and the elves sang, singing and laughing, and many of them holding cups about the size of their own, and occasionally burying their heads in them to take a sip of fruit wine. It wasn't long before red-faced goblins stumbled and laughed in the bright river.
"Come on, guests. ”
In the midst of the revelry, the king came to Magellan and Granger: "Come together." ”
Oberon waved his hand, bringing up a brilliant ribbon of light in the air.
Then the two of them fell into the air and found themselves floating.
"Wow!" Professor Granger let out an exclamation, then laughed.
Several goblins grabbed the two of them by their clothes and floated with them into the midst of the singing goblins. Professor Granger joins the chorus, and Magellan carefully picks up a goblin that has crashed into his arms, and then watches him disappear into the goblins with a cup as big as his own.
"Little John was lying on the grass,
The warm sun shone on him,
Oh, a girl walked by on the road,
Little John, his heart is flustered,
Panic!"
In contrast to the serious Magellan, Professor Granger boldly refused to come, drank the wine handed to him by the goblin, and sang at the top of his voice.
Despite the inaccurate pitch, the elves liked the unabashed joy in Granger's singing, and they sang together, flying higher and higher with the professor.
......
The next day, the two woke up in an ornately decorated room.
There are no windows in this room, but it is not dark inside, and there are dozens of lights on the walls, which emit faint fluorescence and ornate patterns, illuminating the room brightly.
"Well, I thought there weren't any such big beds here. ”
Professor Granger was in good spirits when he got out of bed, and he couldn't tell that he had sung all night last night and drank at least two large barrels of ciderwine.
"I think so, too, and it's just as comfortable to sleep on the carpet here. ”
The two of them got up, tidied up their clothes casually, and walked out of the room.
"Ah......h
The two let out a long sigh together, which contained surprise, excitement, joy, enjoyment, and incomprehension, which was so complicated that it made people cry.
Outside, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the weather is good for a long time.
The air smells of sunshine, and the castle is snow-white in the sun, looking like a delicate toy, spotlessly clean.
"Is this true? We haven't seen the sun since the day we entered the forest...... What a ......."
"Well, that's true," Queen Titania appeared in front of the two, the queen was still beautiful in the sun, and her delicate face was simply breathtakingly beautiful when seen up close, "I'm sure the guests will enjoy the feeling of basking in the sun, let alone ...... I also want to taste the panic feeling like little John. ”
The Queen's laughter was meaningful, and Magellan bowed his head in silence, but Professor Granger greeted her warmly, seemingly unaware.
"Follow me. ”
Titania led the two up to a narrow bridge between two towering minarets, high above the ground, and without guardrails on either side, and Professor Granger was a little trembling and could not take a step, and Magellan, though fine, was not as easy as the queen.
"The king and I have prepared a tea party for you in the garden, and you will love the feeling of drinking tea in the sun. ”
There was a hint of urgency in Titania's laughter, which made Magellan wonder if she had deliberately led them to the bridge to play tricks on them.
Finally they crossed the narrow bridge, passed through a gate, walked through a long road, and when they went out, they saw a grassy hillside.
It was full of blooming flowers, and in the clearing not far away, tables and chairs in the style of goblins, where the king was waiting for them.
"Welcome, guests. ”
As the group took their seats, Magellan and Professor Granger raised their teacups, and King Obreon finally got down to business.
"You've passed the test and entered the realm of goblins, so it's time, warrior, what reward do you want?"
Magellan and Granger looked at each other, then spoke: "Can you let us leave with good memories of this place, so that we can tell the ignorant outside about the beauty of this place?"
The king and queen laughed together: "You have passed the test, and rightfully so." ”
"Can I take what I've drawn out for people to see?" Professor Granger said with emotion.
"Of course. ”
"Your Majesty, your kindness will surely be praised by countless people. ”
These words seemed to make King Oberon a little embarrassed, but the joy on his face could not be hidden.
"In that case, then we have nothing more to ask for, and your kindness is amazing and very grateful. ”
Magellan didn't think he needed anything, from the beginning their purpose was only to get here, and now that they had got their wish, nothing else mattered.
The king was a little surprised: "The warrior must get what he deserves, and the test is meaningless without a reward to match it." Not to mention ......"
Oberon waved his hand, and the Glory Jade floated up with a green glow.
