To the northwest of the city of Kurgea, near the foot of the hill, there is a castle, surrounded by a manor house covering an area of tens of acres, as well as many buildings, bell towers, mills, water towers, blacksmith shops, military camps, etc. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the hall of the castle, the lights are bright, the walls are lit with thick and bright candles, the fireplace is warm and warm, and a table more than ten meters long is filled with bread, grilled meats, fish in sauces, and some fruits that are rarely seen in winter.

Lord Xia Rui stood up from his seat, clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "To the Great Heavenly Father, let us miraculously come back alive. ”

"Thank you, Father, for your kindness......" everyone prayed with their hands clasped together and bowed their heads.

After the mass, the atmosphere was much warmer, and Lord Charry raised his glass and said, "To our great warrior, the Knight of the Bronze Cross, Ota, thanks to his bravery, so that we can have a chance to come back alive, let us drink this cup to the fullest." ”

"Drink this cup to the fullest. ”

Orta stood up with her glass in hand, a humble smile on her face.

Instructor Fortress, Aina, Mondello, Archer Danno, and several of Xia Rui's Yi Cong and Tie Nan also stood up and shouted with wine glasses, "Dry." ”

There were enthusiastic cheers and applause, and Avril, Yuna, Ellie and several other women laughed loudly.

"Dad, drink slowly, the wine is spilled on your beard. Ellie laughed as she reminded Aina.

Yuna smiled and pulled Ellie to sit down, "Your dad is in a good mood, just let him drink, leave him alone." With that, he turned to talk to Avril again.

"I'm happy today, the wine is enough, and we don't get drunk. Here, pour the wine. Xia Rui put down the wine glass, wiped a handful of water droplets from his beard, and said loudly.

"It's good to belch, not drunk. The others shouted one after another, and then, these rugged men went straight to the hands, grabbed the roast pig, steamed chicken or other meat in front of them and tore them, a mouthful of meat, two sips of wine, ate and drank heartily, and their voices became louder and louder.

These days, along the way, everyone is bluffing to say that they are not nervous, and it is not until this moment that they really relax, and there is still a somewhat unreal feeling.

Ota didn't know how much wine he had drunk, although this wine was not as strong as the 'Courage Burning', but it was also hot and hot in his throat, after all, Lord Xia Rui was also a fierce man with a hot personality, and it was impossible for him to drink warm water wine.

Just when the people's faces were flushed and the atmosphere was thick, Lord Xia Rui stood up, his body shook a little, but he still laughed and lifted up the fortress on the side, and shouted:

"Ota, you kid come over to me, today my brother is going to fulfill his promise, so as not to spread the word that I Xia Rui doesn't talk much, and I can't afford to lose that person, uh. "I burped and laughed.

Ota also staggered to his feet, his face was quite normal, but his two eye circles were particularly red, and he threw away the half-gnawed bones in his hand and walked over.

Xia Rui hugged the fortress with his left hand and Outa with his right hand, and said loudly: "Bring the wine, the three of us drink blood wine, and the blood alliance will be three brothers with one life from now on." ”

The hall was quiet, Youyi brought three glasses of wine, Xia Rui took out a dagger from his waist, slashed it in the palm of his hand, and then dripped blood into the three glasses of wine.

After the instructor and Ota also cut their palms and dripped blood into them, the three of them picked up their wine glasses and said loudly to everyone:

"Dear Heavenly Father, your sons Xia Rui, Casno, and Ota, swear in front of everyone today, from today onwards, the three of us will become brothers in life and death, not afraid of fire, not hiding from floods, not betraying brothers with swords, revenge and blessings, three bodies and one life, this oath will never be violated, Heavenly Father can learn from it, relatives and friends can testify, blood is an alliance, and the oath will be fulfilled!"

The three of them raised their necks and drank dry, and everyone cheered loudly, this set of sworn covenants that had been passed down for hundreds of years was reproduced again in front of everyone in this castle today, and the joyful atmosphere reached the peak.

The women left the table and danced in the hall, holding the corners of their skirts in their hands, and their little leather boots tapped on the stone floor, and although there was no music or recorder, no bard voice or organ, the men clapped enthusiastically and the sound of beautiful trolling, and a different kind of joy permeated the little world.

Elle wore a rare set of skirts, and at this moment she ran over with the corner of her clothes, and after a very ladylike squatting in front of Xia Rui, she took Otta's hand and dragged him into the group dance.

"Pedal stomp, hehe. ”

"Step, hey, hey, hey..."

With simple dance steps and a bright rhythm, this is the most intoxicating form of entertainment on the continent and has endured for hundreds of years.

The teenagers clapped their palms and took unique steps to join in, and the neat and short sound of stepping was an expression of an attitude of yearning for a happy life, a determination to always pursue and refuse to give up.

The women suddenly kicked the sound of broken steps of different lengths, which were tight and delicate and crisp and pleasant, expressing their desire for love, longing for their relatives and sweetness......

As the women began to spin, the sound of the trampling changed again, a little slower but more sonorous. At this time, the faces of the men who had been clapping their palms were straight, their originally playful and uninhibited faces became solemn, the rhythm of clapping slowed down slightly, and they walked into the dance circle with solid steps and high legs.

The next moment, the sound of stomping changed suddenly, this was the dance steps of the men, the sound began to become fierce and strong, like thousands of troops rushing to kill on the battlefield, while the sound of the women's trampling became gradually low and slow, and people couldn't help but feel that they were whimpering in front of the door, watching the return of their husbands at the entrance of the village, and the sound of trampling contained longing.

The mood of longing had just lasted for a moment, and everyone suddenly accelerated the rhythm with great tacit understanding, and the sound of trampling sounded intensively again, like a tired bird returning to its nest and flapping its wings, and like a person returning to the heart like an arrow riding a war horse and galloping.

Finally, the sound of stepping came, and the women's eyes had misty moisture, as if they saw that the person they missed was walking towards her step by step.

The sound of clapping was heard again and again, and the sound of stepping began to become warm, as if the wife was busy preparing for the dinner party, and the children were chattering around their father, who had not seen him for a long time, and the sound of stepping was so bright and cheerful.

This rhythm was maintained for a long time, and everyone seemed to be tired, and they all wanted to immerse themselves in this feeling of happiness and joy forever.
