Chapter 20: The Celebration Banquet

Early in the morning, Aisha woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes, looked up, and was greeted by a snow-white wall and a portrait hanging on the wall.

The portrait depicts a knight riding a war horse commanding a battle, looking at the heroic look, the person in the painting is the young lord of Handel.

Aisha sat up, the soft mattress rose and fell slightly with the movement, she touched the pure white quilt, it was very comfortable, very warm, the blue tutu dress was still on her, the rising sun shined through the window, making the dress glow with a little starlight, so bright, so beautiful.

The night passed, and all the pain and fatigue vanished.

Aisha walked out of the room and saw Lista sitting on the couch, still studying the stack of papers from last night.

"Good morning Targo. Aisha greeted Lista with a smile.

"You're up, go wash your face, breakfast is ready." Lista put down the papers in his hand and twisted his neck in a click that seemed to have been in the same position for a long time.

Aisha walked into the bathroom, and the smooth mirror on the sink reflected Aisha's figure, this time without the obstruction of water droplets, Aisha could see very clearly.

The dress is very beautiful, but the appearance of oneself ...... , withered yellow hair, sunken eye sockets, protruding cheekbones, and sallow face without blood, all of which made Aisha particularly disappointed, as if she had lost confidence all of a sudden, thinking that she was not worthy of this luxurious dress, let alone the heroic martial arts of Targo.

Aisha walked out of the bathroom, her head bowed, with a touch of gloom. Lista was keenly aware of Aisha's strangeness.

"What's wrong, didn't you rest?"

"No, it's not. After a long time, Aisha couldn't help but ask, "Brother Tar, am I ugly, I don't think I'm worthy of this beautiful dress, let alone you." ”

Lista was silent for a moment, and then comforted: "What's the matter? There are only clothes in this world that are not worthy of people, and there are people who are not worthy of clothes, you are just malnourished, and after a period of recuperation, you will get better, and when you grow taller, this dress will not be able to be worn, and I will have to buy you another one." ”

"Really? Brother, you're so nice. Aisha raised her head, and the haze in her heart quietly dissipated. In fact, in Aisha's heart, it doesn't matter what others think of her, as long as Lista doesn't dislike herself.

After breakfast, Lista walked down the street with Aisha, looking at the bustling crowd of people coming and going, everyone smiling.

At every passing distance, a knight in armor would stand there to keep the order, arrest petty thefts and robberies, and occasionally help the merchant push a cart.

It can be seen that they all love this city and live with their hearts.

A vendor selling rock sugar gourds walked up to Lista with a friendly smile on his face, "This little brother, buy a string of rock sugar gourds, I just made them today, but they are sweet." ”

Lista nodded, paid, and the vendor picked the largest skewer and took it off, and handed it directly to Aisha, "Little sister, please use it slowly, it's delicious." ”

I have to say that to do this kind of small business, the ability to observe words and emotions is still very important.

Aisha took the sugar gourd, but did not eat it immediately, but stood in front of Lista, holding it high to Lista's mouth, with a bright smile.

"Brother Tar, you eat first. ”

Lista couldn't resist it, so he had to take a bite.

Aisha smiled like a successful kitten, completely leaving her displeasure behind, and she took Lista's arm and rested her head on it.

The morning wandered around like this, slowly passing by, during which there were vendors coming to sell goods from time to time, and occasionally someone cast a different eye.

Time is very precious to Lista, but for some reason, he is willing to spend time shopping with Aisha to make him happier.

At noon, Lista took Aisha to the banquet as scheduled, and Handel greeted him personally.

Handel's mansion is built in the coaching ground, and he usually trains and lives with the knights, although it is a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but there is no barrier at all, and the atmosphere is harmonious and mingle.

Lista and Aisha walked past the coaching field, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, everyone's admiration for Lista is obvious to all, but more of a curiosity about Aisha, guessing what is the relationship between Lista and the girl who is traveling with her.

Handel invited Lista and Aisha to sit at the same table, along with the captains of each formation.

Since it was a banquet, wine must be indispensable, and Lista didn't want to drink, but Handel's persuasion and everyone's hospitality were difficult, and he drank several bowls under the scoundrel, but fortunately, it was just sake brewed by the people in the city, and the degree was not high.

The dishes are simple and sumptuous, Handel has always been honest and honest, never extravagant and wasteful, the fish are caught in the river by the church's own people, and the meat is also raised by himself.

They have always followed the principle that what they take from the people will be given to the people, and even a part of their own income will be distributed to the people. Where did the people come from?

Aisha was the only woman at the banquet, and everyone's attention, intentional or unintentional, made her a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Handel smiled, clapped his hands and shouted, "Since it is a banquet, how can it be done without a show? ”

Immediately the atmosphere became lively, and everyone recommended the people around them, and after a while, a young knight came out and wanted to dance the sword to everyone.

Immediately, everyone's eyes converged on one place, looking forward to the wonderful performance.

The young knight drew his long sword, and a burst of sword sparks flew left and right to attack, sometimes stabbing forward, sometimes rolling on his stomach, sometimes turning and slashing, sometimes standing his sword to block, dazzling, and immediately won a round of applause.

The next to appear was a middle-aged knight with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, who took off all his armor and shouted that he wanted to find someone to wrestle with his drunken strength.

A relatively thin young knight walked out, wanting to try the water and take a lesson, but before he could make a move, he was thrown to the ground by a middle-aged knight over the shoulder, with his feet facing the sky, causing everyone to laugh.

"Isn't there one who can fight?" the middle-aged knight clenched his hands into fists and hammered his chest, standing on the coaching ground and going drunk.

A captain couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and put the middle-aged knight to the ground with a neck clamp, and suddenly there was another burst of laughter, and the middle-aged knight had to return to his seat in a gloomy manner.

"Mr. Lista. I don't know who was the first to shout, but after a short silence everyone came back to their senses and began to shout in unison, "Lista, Lista, Lista......"

All eyes were on Lista, expecting him to give a great performance.

Lysta had no choice but to agree, only to see him walk to the teaching ground, his eyes closed and standing still. After a long time, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and I didn't know why.

But at this moment, Lista suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the light blue light of his eyes flickering, and immediately generated a magic array exuding light blue brilliance under his feet, the white mist drifted away, and in an instant, countless ice crystal vines suddenly grew from the magic array, intertwining and spreading, they branched out, and one by one the ice crystal roses bloomed under everyone's gaze, shining like diamonds under the illumination of the bright sun, making everyone look at each other.

Then, with a dashing snap of his fingers, all the ice crystals shattered in an instant, instantly turning into mottled spots and floating into invisibility.

There was a burst of cheers in the teaching room, and the sound of "good" was endless, and Aisha stood up even more excitedly, clapping her little hands more happily than anyone else, but it was for this reason that Aisha became the next focus.

The next moment, everyone's eyes were on Aisha, and although most people didn't know her name, the expectant gaze was self-evident.

Aisha lowered her head embarrassedly, but as the only girl present, everyone did not intend to let it go easily, and after several ideological struggles, she finally mustered up the courage and walked to the teaching field.

Aisha lifted the hem of her skirt lightly, bent her knees slightly, and saluted everyone, followed by a joyful dance.

Aisha danced her body, the graceful and skillful movements, the thousands of delicate postures, the thousands of changes, like a peacock opening the screen, like a lotus blooming, like a lark spreading its wings, that step by step, like a flower growing step by step.

After the dance, there was thunderous applause, and everyone applauded unanimously.

Aisha returned to her seat, her eyes moistened a little, in fact, this dance was taught by her mother before she was taken to the mine, and she has been remembering it in her heart for the past two years, and she has never forgotten it. She was surprised and touched to win so much applause today.

"It was great. Lista did not shy away from his praise.

Aisha didn't speak, the joy in her heart was beyond words, and she shook Lista's arm with a joyful smile, like a spoiled kitten.

After the feast, Lista entered the mansion and asked Handel about the iceberg of Vimur Husius.

Handel pondered for a moment. "Well, there is such a thing, about a hundred years ago, there were two famous magicians, a man and a woman, the male is named 'Hughes', and the female is named 'Vimur', they met during their travels, probably because they are both ice elemental magicians, so they hit it off at first sight, they traveled all directions, helping people eradicate monsters and beasts to protect their homes, and their fame is getting bigger and bigger, but ah! One day they met an evil spirit, the evil spirit is too powerful, the two magicians are not opponents at all, in order to prevent the evil spirit from doing evil again, the two magicians decided to use forbidden arts, with their own body and life as the price, the evil spirit is frozen forever in the iceberg, I heard that the snow wolf living on the iceberg is the descendant of the demon pet left by the two magicians back then, they have protected their masters for generations with their lives in exchange for the results of the war. ”

"So, I'm going to have to go to this iceberg again. Mr. Handel, the workshop lends me two days, and I have to make something. ”

Handel was shocked when he heard this. "What are you doing on the iceberg? You want to release the evil spirits, and how sure are you that you can clean it up?"

"Half of half of that! The souls of those two magicians must still be imprisoned in the iceberg, they have been guarding them for so long, and it is time to set them free. ”

"And what if it fails?"

"I'm also an ice elemental, and I'll also use forbidden arts, and if I fail, I'll freeze it again. ”

"Well, since you've said so, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it. Handel shook his head and said.
