The halls of Hornburg are steaming hot, and the smell of roasted meats and freshly baked bread fills the air. Pen ~ Fun ~ The gray stone wall of the pavilion www.biquge.info hall is full of flags of each family: the north city is printed with wolf patterns on a blue background, the Ramo Ice Field is embroidered with six-sided snowflakes on a white background, Assyria is printed with a sickle on a green background, your is painted with a bright red flame on a yellow background, Eridu is an oak leaf pattern between earth yellow and blue, the golden one is printed with a blazing sun is the sun, and the last corner is Uruk with a gray cross on a gray background.

Several piano players in the hall were plucking the strings, and the singers were singing ballads, but the people sitting in the hall couldn't hear what the guys were singing at all, except for the overflowing wine, the tender duck skin roasted to the oil, and the whole roast suckling pig with fruit in its mouth.

The welcome dinner held to welcome the lords and envoys from all over the world had been going on for three full hours, and there was no end to it at all. Horn fidgeted and watched the whole hall, he sat with the heirs, only a little lower than the high platform of his father, mother and other lords' envoys, but every time the servants came to pour wine, the sharp-eyed mother always noticed it, and scolded them to retreat, so Horn had to go and drink juice, but this kind of thing can be replaced by mellow wine, these three hours, he was like sitting on pins and needles, and he wanted to slip away.

"Sonny, Sonny!" he tilted his head and whispered, "Let's go to the back!"

Sonny Kelline was separated from him by three positions, sandwiched between the two sons of the envoy of Elidu, and the youngest daughter of the Lord of Daylight. Seeing the little master of the castle shouting in a low voice, the three of them turned their heads one after another. "Look at what, eat your well. He poked his head out, his honey-colored eyes tightly tied to the impassive Sonny. "Hey, bee poop is stupid for you?!Sonny, Sonny!"

"Don't scream, Mommy is looking at me!" said Sonny, frowning.

"Tell her, you've drunk too much juice and you're going to pee!" Horn looked back at his mother and saw that she wasn't paying attention to herself. "Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you below!" After speaking, he turned his head to the right-hand side, "Beautiful young lady, do you want to be together?"

"Where?" asked Sula. She is the younger sister of Mu Lun, the lord of Sunlight City, and has inherited her mother's purple eyes and snow-white skin, and her facial features are so delicate that she has never forgotten Horn since she first saw them. Sound too.

"Pee!" Horn grimaced, and before Sura could react, he quickly slipped off the high platform and fled in to return to the servants and singers who delivered the food.

The first time he drank alcohol was on Naming Day at the age of sixteen. His father poured him half a glass of wine that day, and since he had tasted the delicious taste, he could no longer drink the vegetable juice made by his mother, and even the soy blossom milk, which he had loved for sixteen years, had become something difficult to swallow, but his mother never allowed him to drink excessively, and even on this occasion, he was only allowed to taste half a glass.

So Horn drank so often throughout the year that he found that he drank as much as his elders, and when he mingled with the knights and soldiers, and at the instigation of the cheerful young men beside him, he drank a glass of wine, and the conversation became more. “..... I've heard that the Iron Forest Army is good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and so is my archery teacher, who was originally a forest keeper in the Side Mountains, and his archery skills are even better!" he boasted to the knight beside him.

"You must be talking about Lord Aiden, I heard him before I was ordained!" a young knight echoed as he poured Horn wine.

"Hey, you've just heard, I've seen it with my own eyes!" said another young knight, "I was sent to the North City to study archery and horsemanship, and although the main course was riding, the head coach at that time was Lord Aiden, and he also performed the stunt of five arrows in front of everyone!"

"You've been blowing this for three years, haven't you blown enough?" another knight joined in. The man had a mole on his chin, was a little older, and had the smell of onions as he spoke.

"Young City Lord, is what this kid said true?" asked the knight who poured Horn's wine.

"Yes, my teacher does have such a hand!" Horn raised his glass, "Come, don't just talk and don't drink!"

"You're hiding so far away!" a familiar voice came from behind.

Horn swallowed the wine in his mouth, burped, and moved to the side, turning over an empty glass and filling it up.

"Where's Sura, why didn't you call her along?" asked Sonny, holding his glass.

"Look, men, there are only women left in the eyes of your future kings!" Horn let out a strange cry, causing the nearby knight to chuckle under his breath.

Sonny stood up and looked at the second seat after the lords, and saw that Sulla's position was empty. "She's got your mom with her, look at it!" he said coldly as he sat down.

Horn stood up, looked over the towering head, and saw that his mother was still sitting safely in her place, before he sat down with peace of mind. "Man, don't make such jokes, two days ago I was drinking and my little servant's ass bloomed, and I'm still lying in the seminary!"

"Hey, I don't know why your mother doesn't let you drink, you're not an adult, and you've been knighted. Sonny took a sip of wine after speaking, and the wine overflowed the corners of his mouth, "As the heir of the Lord of the North City, how can you not drink!"

"God knows what was going on in her head, if only Queen Mira were my mother!" Horn shrugged and took a big gulp.

"Look, it's like your's men are coming. ”

"Where?" Horn hurriedly put down his glass, and found that the knights around him had already stood up, and the hall was a little quieter.

A crowd of visitors streamed in through the gate, and as the two were close to the gate, the line passed not far in front of their seats. A young man in silver armor was at the forefront, and the armor did not seem to be used for battle, because it was inlaid with many gems, even on the helmet and armour, and in the most conspicuous place of the breastplate, the bright red flame emblem was like a burning flame, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the distance.

"That's Lord Kane of your, oh my God, so young?" Sonny gestured to the young man walking towards the high platform.

"Stupid, of course it's Lord Kane's son!" Horn sat back on the bench, "Uncle Kane is not a few years younger than your mother, how can he be so young." I heard from Uncle Sersi's personal guard that Lord Kane had been busy with some filth lately, and he didn't have time to see my father, so he sent his eldest son Paul as an envoy to discuss the southern expedition. ”

"Horn, does Lord Kenny have to go south?" Sonny asked, frowning.

"Why don't you think you're here?" Horn shrugged helplessly as he held his glass. When I was younger, I often heard my mother mention that we came from the far First Continent, which was farther away than the flooded city of Nippur, and that my father had experienced a terrible defeat when he was young, so he came to this continent and founded the North City, and Uncle Cersi and Uncle Mike always told me stories about their youth, but at the end of each story, there was a mention of the Southern Expedition, which was like a spell that imprisoned them and everyone in the North City....."

"Got you!"

The two of them were startled by the sudden hand on their shoulders, and then they turned their heads and looked at the owner of the hand with a frown.
