Chapter 446: The Gift of Adulthood
After coming down from the top of the ancient dragon, Lorna was sent directly back to the mansion to recuperate, and the bumps along the way did not make her show the slightest sign of awakening, which can be seen how much mental power she consumed in the confrontation with the Blood Oath.
If you want to change to other trialists, this kind of mental power loss is afraid that you have to sleep for three or five days, and those who are a little weaker even have to lie in bed for ten days and half a month.
But I have to say that young people are young people, especially young people who inherit the queen's bloodline, Lorna woke up after six or seven hours of sleep, and after waking up, she didn't say that she had a headache or weakness, but just said that she was hungry and clamoring to eat meat.
As for the banquet, Sting was of course ready for a long time, although he said that the coming-of-age ceremony was not worth celebrating, but it was just to make Lorna establish a sense of awe of responsibility, and deliberately made it heavier.
Anyway, this is also my daughter's 16th birthday, and of course the festive elements that a normal birthday should have will not be left behind.
Otherwise, so many guests came to the cold valley from thousands of miles away, and there was not even a banquet, would they let them drink the northwest wind?
Needless to say, the process and atmosphere were similar to the New Year's Banquet in the Royal City, with the guests laughing and laughing, but the protagonist changed from Solandelle to Lorna.
Lorna is very simple, her ears do not hear about the banquet, and she only eats meat.
I saw her sitting in front of a large grill, and on the shelf was a whole roasted cow that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which was made of a whole big bull in the real sense, and the bones weighed thousands of catties, full of momentum.
Because the ingredients are so heavy, the whole grill is made of steel, and it takes seven or eight servants to turn the fire together, and in order to heat the meat evenly, the servants have been roasting since the day, and the final result is naturally very satisfying.
Lorna's index finger in the face of the roasted whole cow, she used a sharp cleaver to cut pieces of beef on it, the skin of these meat was grilled to a very crispy crisp, some of the meat was tender, some of the meat was full of chewiness, and the completely different textures constantly surprised the palate, and she ate it with a puffy cheek and a satisfied face.
In the second half of the banquet, it was time for the birthday gift.
Unlike the New Year's banquet, which is full of rules, Lorna doesn't like rules and regulations, so she didn't engage in the "roll call and gifts" set, but asked everyone to pile all the gifts together, and then she opened them one by one like opening a blind box.
According to her, it is more surprising to open the gift in this way.
Moreover, I don't know whether to say "fate", the first gift Lorna opened was given by her biological father Sting, and the box contained a small military badge.
This gift seems stingy, but anyone with a discerning eye can recognize it, this military emblem is what millions of Kingdom soldiers want to see most on the battlefield, and it is also the nightmare of all enemies, it represents four words - Banshee.
The Banshees, the Doglander Aerial Assault Legion, is composed of adult dragon knights and the most elite winged beast cavalry, and as long as they appear on the battlefield, it means the dragon's breath that burns the prairie and the overwhelming winged beast attack.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Banshees represent the balance of a war, and with the presence of these air cavalry, even if the allies of the kingdom are on the verge of collapse, they will reunite their combat power with air support and launch an indomitable counteroffensive.
And for the enemy, the appearance of the Banshee is exactly what the name suggests - it is the death knell for them.
Sting gave Lorna the "Banshee" emblem, which was also simple and clear, telling her: "From this day on, you are a dragon knight who served in the Banshee, and you are also a true soldier of the kingdom." ”
Lorna's dream since she was a child was to join the army as soon as possible, to gallop through the sky like her mother and fight, this military badge can be said to be something she has dreamed of for a long time, not to mention how happy she is to receive it now.
Lorna's second gift was from Solandelle.
Solandale is as careful as ever, and according to her own style, she will be more inclined to some very literary things, such as poetry, painting, chess, music and the like.
But Solandale knew in her heart that Lorna was different from herself, and she would inevitably become a soldier when she became an adult, so instead of all those bells and whistles, she gave her a set of armor called "Silk".
The silk is so special that it is difficult to even call it a "battle armor", because it does not have the angular shape of a regular battle armor, and it is silky and soft to the touch, just like underwear.
However, this is just the appearance, the material of "condensation" is taken from the thousand-year-old ice silkworm, this kind of clothing made of ice silk can usually be worn as an underwear, and it will automatically adapt to the temperature according to the owner's body temperature, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the surface is extremely silky, will not be contaminated with any dirt, and it will be clean as ever when worn for a lifetime, and does not need to be cleaned.
At the same time, the condensate also has a unique adaptive defense effect, which is usually extremely soft once it is hit by a knife, the hit place will instantly become indestructible, and it will not become soft again until it absorbs the force.
Bolton also experimented with this silk armor, and the standard crossbow arrows could not break its defense at all, and its defensive power could be described as a must.
Of course Lorna likes Solandale's gift, not to mention such an ingenious gift, even if Solandale picks up a stone from the side of the road and gives it to her, she is happy, and she is happy with whatever gift her best friend gives.
Lorna couldn't put down such a piece of armor that was comfortable to wear every day, safe and reliable in wartime, and if it weren't for Sting's image, she would have wanted to go to the corner to take off her clothes and try it on the spot.
The gifts that were blindly opened in the back were relatively ordinary, including all kinds of rare treasures given by the ministers, dragon riding equipment made by Andre with top craftsmen, and a thousand-year-old jade brew imported from the Far East by Burton with a lot of money.
It is said that the "millennium" of this thousand-year-old jade brew is not an exaggeration, it is really brewed by the ancients thousands of years ago with rare heavenly and earthly treasures, which have been preserved to this day, and can prolong life and multiply the power after drinking.
As for whether the effect is really so magical, it is unknown, and you can't open the altar and drink it on the spot on this occasion.
The blind box was open, Lorna opened a gift, and took out a coat of arms from it, its shape is very exquisite, carved in the shape of a laurel flower with colored ink, and there is a crown on the top, revealing the supreme nobility.
Sting was originally beaming, but when he saw this coat of arms, he was shocked, and suddenly he was in a cold sweat, and looked at the smiling Perseus with a bewildered gaze.
Lorna didn't recognize what it was, so she held it in her hand and asked the crowd, "Who gave this a gift?" Come and claim it! ”
Suddenly, Lorna only felt that her hands were empty, and the coat of arms had been taken away, and when she turned her head, it was none other than Sting.
Seeing Sting clutching the coat of arms, his tall body trembled slightly for some reason, he walked to Perseus with his head down, knelt down on one knee, handed the coat of arms with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this gift is not suitable..."
