Chapter 589: Our Campbell
It was close to late autumn dusk, and the sky was a little dark just after five o'clock, but all the light sources had been lit up, and the entire Campbell Manor was lit up under the gray sky, and it seemed to be full of life.
At this time, there were long tables on both sides of the manor avenue, which could stretch out for more than 50 meters, and the tables were piled with fruits and food, and the waiters were bringing over cups of fruit wine in an orderly manner, neatly stacked for people to use at any time.
The colorful cloth ribbons hanging from the roof are fluttering in the wind, the aroma of roasted food wafts through the nose, and the orange light falls on everyone's body, this qiē is a sign that the celebration is ready, waiting for the most important person to appear in front of people.
Hundreds of people stood silently on the avenue, including the "old man" who had lived in the manor for several years and belonged to the Darren period There are elves who have only followed the new lord here in recent months, mountain people who have come to the plains from the great forest of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, representatives of the lords of the villages and towns around Campbell, recruits who have responded to the recruitment, professional craftsmen and a large number of helpers, and border guard soldiers whose duty is to guard the borders of the kingdom.
Several people came out of the side of the building at the end of the avenue, and the one who walked in front was young, but his steps were steady and powerful, his eyes were bright, and his determined gaze carried a strong confidence.
Leon also changed his clothes, and at this moment he was wearing a double-breasted tight waistcoat with a new pair of breeches underneath. Leather boots were put on his feet, and an over-the-knee wool coat with a style close to that of a military uniform was draped over it, and this proper clothing gave the young man a rather special aura. Let the eyes of everyone who sees him shine.
In fact, when Leon returned to his residence after disbanding the soldiers, his first reaction was a little surprised when he saw the set of clothes that Jeff had taken out, and he didn't know when the chief had prepared it. As a result, Jeff sued him, and this was actually a suit specially customized for him by Mr. Edward, and then Jeff also relayed Edward's words at that time - "Leon's identity is different, and the clothes I gave him last time are no longer suitable." So I had already asked the tailor at the headquarters to prepare another set, and I took this opportunity to send it over together, hoping that he liked it. ”
The young man was indeed satisfied. This outfit not only fits perfectly, but also has a style that is quite in line with the preferences of young people, and at the same time has some protection and resistance improvements, which can be regarded as both beautiful and practical. And when he was done, he walked out of the room. The eyes of several young girls, such as Caterina and Sophia, were shining.
"That's what a lord looks like," Erin said to the unanimous approval of several people present, and as they walked out, the cheers of the people confirmed it.
Walking to the left of Leon was the alchemy master Kaka, the diminutive dwarf who didn't want to be so conspicuous, but it was Leon's persuasion that made him reluctantly appear as the lead teacher.
To the right of the young man was Luthor, who was the deputy commander of Fort Mark, leading his soldiers to stop the natives who had invaded the border many times. He was also known to be an old friend of the old earl, and the cheers were no less than those of the first two. Of these, of course, the soldiers at Fort Markham were the loudest.
Finally, there are two young girls, Caterina and Irene, which is specially proposed by Campbell's director, saying that this is more in line with etiquette. Leon didn't care about this, so he let him go, while Kaka, Luther, and Caterina didn't know much about the so-called etiquette, and as for Erin...... I don't know if she understands it, but she keeps biting her lip and doesn't say anything.
Speaking of Sophia, Melissa was also the first companion to follow Leon, but Sophia had already run to Manor Avenue and took a group of teenage children to the table looking for delicious food, and Melissa never found anyone, so only these two girls were left.
When they appeared in front of people's eyes, the cheers became more and more enthusiastic, and it sounded more special than before.
Leon stopped and smiled at the excited people in front of him, and after a moment he stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the cheers immediately stopped.
"Just a few months ago, the estate was in tatters, many people were displaced, and those who stayed were put under great pressure. ”
The muffled voice echoed through Manor Boulevard, and those who had remained here since Darren's time had sentimental faces, visibly recalling the scene.
"It was arguably the most unfortunate time for me, but it was also the luckiest time for me," Leon said slowly, "On the way to escape, I first met Caterina and Sophia in Locketown, then Jeff, and when we went to Grey Town, we were lucky enough to meet Master Mentor, and then one by one companions came to me, Melissa, Irene, Eric, Red...... You have been with me through the most difficult of times, and although we are now like brothers and sisters, let me express my sincerest gratitude. ”
Leon covered his chest with his hands and bowed in salute, and those who were called by name stared blankly at the young lord's actions, their eyes beginning to redden.
"And Jack, who taught me the art of war, the elves from the Whispering Forest and the mountaineers of the Bronze Helmet, Hilarily who accompanied me all the way to the Black Forest, my grandfather's old friend Duncan, and the Luthor and Fort Mark soldiers who guarded the Campbell's borders......"
Speaking of this, Leon's hand pointed in Kuby's direction, "And you, the former mercenary group, are now Campbell's excellent warriors. ”
Kubi immediately felt that the blood in his whole body suddenly rushed to his face, and he wanted to look left and right, but he immediately suppressed this impulse, and did not dare to speak, so he looked at the young man in a daze, but his body trembled slightly.
"There are many other people," Leon retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "It has been almost a few months since I returned to Campbell, and it can be said that Campbell's manor is now concentrated with the best talents, and with you here, I believe that this land will get better day by day." ”
People were a little excited, and those old people who had spent time in Darren's time had even tears in their eyes, and even people like Jeff and Eric who had been through a lot seemed to be unable to control their feelings at the moment.
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then raised his right fist and said in a sonorous voice: "Everyone has gone through all kinds of ups and downs to get here, we have the same hope, we have the same goal to strive for, from now on, you can live freely and safely in Campbell!"
"Because...... It's not just my Campbell, it's our Campbell!"
His voice fell, and there was silence at first on the manor avenue, but then a deafening cheer erupted, and countless arms were raised towards the sky.
"For our Campbell!" (to be continued......
