Chapter 138: Celebratory Banquet

Outside the south wall of the rock castle, there are many tents and colorful flags fluttering. Originally, the knights were showing off their might, and the open space where the duel was contested had been covered with a dark red carpet, on which were rows of neatly arranged long wooden tables and stools cut into logs. On the long table are large pots of braised beef, boiled apples, fist-sized white bread and large pieces of roast lamb, grilled sausages and other dishes. In addition to these, there is also a large basket of blue strawberries, the fruit of the Northland.

Today is the celebration banquet for the successful conclusion of the Northland Harmony Cup Knights Tournament jointly organized by the Norton family and the Kenmas family, whether it is a wandering knight, a free knight or a family knight, you can find a seat at these long tables to eat and drink, the wine is enough, the meat is full, and you can also take the food on the table to reward the subordinates and civilians who serve or please the next side.

The Wandering Knight and Freelancer wore a knightly badge made of black iron on their chests, while the House Knight wore a silver family knight badge. In the vindictive world of Galintya, this is also an invisible boundary, which has elevated the status of the knight class.

Obtaining a knight certification badge is very simple and difficult, generally speaking, the domain nobles, legion-level armies, golden knights, and knightly training academies have the right and qualification to issue knight certification badges, and even some old wandering knights, freelancers and family knights, they pass on their knightly skills to their heirs, and they can also pass on the knightly certification badge. For example, Lorist has been trained as a knight at Dawn Academy, and when he obtains a qualified certification, he naturally has a knight certification badge.

Fighting spirit black iron rank, trained as a knight, knowing knight etiquette, and having a little net worth, you can get a knight certification badge and become a trainee knight for a little fee. If the Fighting Spirit rank reaches Silver, he is a quasi-knight. You can choose to become a wandering knight, a freelancer or serve a lord as a knight of his family. Of course, there are also many civilians who have no money who choose to become knight squires, and then grow from squires to quasi-knights step by step.

Like Richard, the leader of the Cromwell Mercenary Regiment, he has a golden star for his fighting spirit, but without a knight certification badge, he is not qualified to serve at the table. However, as a golden mercenary, he naturally has a special invitation to invite him to the lords' banquets, and will not compete with the knights for a seat in the open space.

As for poor Jim, he is just a silver mercenary, and he has neither a knightly badge nor a knight's badge of the Norton family, so he can only lie on the city wall with a grumbling stomach and watch the former bandits Ovikis and Patpe eat and drink with the knight badge of the Norton family below, which makes him who loves to be lively by nature, how can he stand it, and he has been thinking about it all the time, cursing the two guys below to bite the stone and break their teeth and eat a bad stomach.

Lorist is wearing a gown, the style of the aristocratic dress of the former Cresson Empire is very simple, it is a white folio coat with a vertical collar, and after wearing it, it is put on a chest hanger, the so-called chest hang is like a long towel, with a hole in the middle, which is put down from the head, revealing a vertical collar. The chest hanger is wide, the shoulders are slightly cocked at the knees, and then the chest hanger and white coat are tied with a refined belt.

The sky blue chest hung was gorgeous, bordered by a circle of golden laurel leaves embroidered with gold wire, and inside were clusters of golden blooming star flowers, which were the symbol of the Clisson royal family, meaning that the Norton family title was under the jurisdiction of the Clisson royal family only, and in the middle of the chest hung was a roaring golden angry bear and a small golden sword. The Angry Bear is the coat of arms of the Norton family, and the small golden sword represents the military nobles.

Sedkamp complimented: "My lord, you are really handsome in this dress, very noble and heroic......"

This was the first time Lorist had put on a formal aristocratic dress, and she only felt that something was wrong. But there is no way, the next thing to attend is the banquet of the lords, and you can only wear such a dress on formal occasions.

"How is Miss Theresty?" asked Lorlist.

Sedecamp shook his head and said, "Still no, I asked little Winnie, today she is still lying in bed and refuses to get up." ”

Lorist had wanted to invite Miss Theresti to join him to the feast, and had come to her place last night to settle the problem of the well, and to give an invitation. But unfortunately, Miss Theresty's great aunt has come to see her these days. Lorist then discovered that Miss Theresti was suffering from menstrual cramps, and offered to help her......

cough, cough, uh, well, that, it is said that men and women can reduce the symptoms of this dysmenorrhea after ****...... Lorist was then driven out of the room by the embarrassed Miss Theresty with a room full of small bits and pieces......

Alas, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, he doesn't know the hearts of good people, but what he said is really not deceiving. In her previous life, her secretary had a bad relationship with her husband because of this, the secretary said that she went to the doctor for menstrual pain when she was in college, and the doctor gave her this advice, and it didn't work to take medicine, so the secretary casually chose to chase her and gave it the first time, and naturally broke up after college, and later married this husband because she was not in a good relationship.

When the secretary said this, he was lying naked in Lorist's arms, and the two had just finished tossing and turning on the bed. However, at that time, Lorist was not interested in the relationship between the secretary and her husband, but asked if the menstrual cramps could really be cured by that? The secretary said that the symptoms were reduced after breaking the news, and the eldest aunt did not feel pain when she came back later. In that situation, Lorist didn't think the secretary would lie to him, because it was just a very light-hearted and in-depth exchange.

However, Miss Dressy did not believe this claim, and Lorist could not cite examples from her past life to prove it. Lorlist, who had been shut up, had no choice but to roll back to his residence.

Joske stood by the gates waiting for Lorist's arrival, Vasima was still in Maple Grove Villa, and only Ovicis and Pat were the knights of the family who could attend the knights' banquet in Rock Castle. Paul Bins and Jim were not yet knights of the family, one had taken over from Ovikis in training, patrolling and guarding the captives, and the other was responsible for defending the city walls.

Lorist took Sedcamp and Reddy down the tower, and when he saw Joske, he wanted to scold that this guy was dressed more than his lord. He was wearing a noble dress, but Josque was wearing a silver knight's armor, which was extremely dazzling, coupled with his handsome face and melancholy eyes, Lorist knew that the attention of those ladies and ladies would definitely not be focused on him.

Reddy flew the banner of the Norton family's furious bears, Sedcamp led the way, and Lorist led Josque through the clearing on horseback. Along the way, clowns put on funny shows, servants busily deliver wine and food, dancers dance in celebrations, jugglers climb high shelves, singers chant aloud epics, and magicians breathe fire in their mouths. The men all stopped as Lorist passed by, bowing deeply to them in respect.

From time to time, a knight stood up from his stool and gave a knight's chest salute to Lorlist. Lorist nodded in acknowledgment and asked Sedercamp strangely: "Who are they, I don't know them, why do you salute me?"

Sedercamp was very distressed, how much trouble would he add to himself by such an absent-minded master: "My lord, have you forgotten, I have already reported to you yesterday that twenty-nine wandering knights are willing to serve in our family armed forces, so that they can make a contribution to becoming our Norton family knights. ”

"Oh, sorry, I forgot. Lorist said, "Are they all silver?"

"Alas......" Sedkamp sighed, "My lord, if you hadn't added an archery event, there would never be so many knights joining our family. In fact, seventeen of them are still Black Iron Rank, they have just obtained the Knight Certification Badge not long ago, and they originally came here just to see it, and found that there is no Dou Qi rank limit in the archery competition before signing up. Pat said that their arrows were good and he recruited them all. ”

"Hehe," Lorist was very happy, "Pat is doing the right thing, now it is black iron, it will soon become silver, maybe in the future there will be many golden archer knights like Joske in our family......"

"No way. Josk interjected: "They can't have an archery talent like mine, and they can't have another Green Beni, they are only good at archery at best." ”

Green Beni is the nickname given to Joske's green longbow, which is said to have been dug up from a ruin's ribs of a dragon and spent more than a decade in the hands of a master bowmaker. Later, by chance, Baron Umado got it and gave it to Josque as an engagement gift for him and the baron's daughter.

"Shut up, Joe, I'm going to make someone make a better bow than your Green Beni, believe it or not. Lorist said very unhappily.

"By the way, didn't it mean that Viscount Kenmax was also recruiting wandering knights to organize a knightly order, and how many of them did he recruit?"

"My lord, there are more than eighty wandering knights who have taken refuge in the past and joined the knights formed by the Kenmasse family. Sedercamp said with a grim face: "In addition to the Kenmax family, there is also the Pegasus family, that is the Baron Philim Charvod of the Philim family, and he has also recruited nearly fifty wandering knights. There were seven or eight other lords who had recruited one or two wandering knights, and the rest had no interest in recruiting manpower. ”

"And how many knights have come to the convention this time?" Lorist looked at the dozens of long rows of long log tables in the open space, and there were no less than eight hundred people around the tables.

"My lord, this time, the knight tournament jointly organized by us and the Kenmas family was held for a total of twenty-seven days, and the momentum was very large, and thirty-seven nobles of the territory came to the scene. It is said that there are still two lords who are fighting, and when they hear the news, they decide to shake hands first and rush over with the family knights. It is estimated that there are five or six hundred wandering knights and freelancers who have come to hear the news, and the family knights brought by those lords should be close to seven or eight hundred. ”

Well, the thirty-seven lords, plus the number of nobles in the original territory who were almost half of the northland, this momentum is indeed very large. It's just that what Lorist didn't expect was that there were so many wandering knights and freelancers in the Northlands, and five or six hundred were too many.

Soon the big tent for the lord's banquet arrived, and the Kenmas family was worthy of being the largest builder in the former empire, and the big tent that Lorist had seen was the largest he had ever seen, enough to hold a dance party for hundreds of people in it.

After signing up, Lorist walked in with Joske and Sedkamp, while Reddy tended to the horses outside the tent with the Angry Bear banner.

"My lord, the one who greeted us is Viscount Kenmeth......"

It was the first time Lorist had seen Viscount Kenmez, who was a little shorter than himself, with curly blond hair draped over his shoulders, and a handsome man, with a cleanly shaved beard that showed an iron-blue chin. With a graceful and generous smile on his face, he has a personable demeanor and chic manners, and he is really a beautiful man.

Lorist looked back at Joske, and said in his heart that this guy was compared to Viscount Kenmeth.

Puzzled, Josk looked at himself and asked, "How do I pull?"

Lorist ignored him.

Viscount Kenmath also wore a noble gown, except that his chest was dark blue, with silver tricolor embroidered on the edges, and in the center was a rose representing the Iberian royal family and a triple gold ring badge of the Kenmath family.

Viscount Kenmeth greeted him with a laugh and opened his hands to welcome: "I finally met Lord Baron, I have heard of the name for a long time, this time it is a real person, it is really an honor." ”

Lorist was keenly aware of the resentment and suppressed anger that swept over Viscount Kenmeth's eyes. smiled, and said that this guy was still thinking about the 100,000 gold ford's private money. He also opened his arms and hugged the Viscount warmly: "Haha, I am also looking forward to meeting with the Viscount, but I am busy with affairs, and I really can't spare time." But today is a long-cherished wish. ”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Viscount Kenmax took Lorist to introduce the nobles of the territory who came to the banquet and thirty or forty ladies and ladies who came to join in the fun, and what made Lorist admire was that this guy around so many guests was able to introduce their names and family backgrounds clearly like a number of family treasures, and even the glorious and heroic deeds of these people's ancestors can be said a thing or two, no wonder this guy can be like a fish in water on such an occasion, and is warmly welcomed and loved by those ladies and ladies。

After Lorist felt his face smiling, he finally finished the introduction, and everyone sat down to enjoy the delicious food provided by the chef hired by the Kenmath family.

Among all the lords who came to the banquet in the Great Tent, Lorist paid the most attention to two, one was the guy with a sincere and friendly mask next to him, because Lorist could feel the malice and resentment hidden behind the mask by Lord Viscount. The second is Baron Philim Charward of the Pegasus family, this baron looks **** harmless, but Lorist can feel the tyranny and murder in his bones, and this baron is already a knight of the gold rank.
