Chapter 50: The Reward Ceremony

When Salian returned to the banquet hall, he saw Sylvanas surrounded by a large number of men.

When we met in the garden before, Sylvanas's demeanor was quite peaceful, but now her mood was visibly bad, and her delicate golden eyebrows were about to wrinkle.

Instead of going over to make trouble, Sarjan avoided Sylvanas' looking at him and leaned against the edge of the hall near Anastria's main seat, finding a table to fill his stomach first.

Often, the people attending the banquet do not focus on eating and drinking, but symbolically walk around with their glasses in hand.

The so-called banquet is actually a social platform, and the food on the table is more like decoration, and few people will actually come to the high-end banquet to eat and drink.

Saljan didn't care about that, he ate when he was hungry, looked for a drink when he was thirsty, and he never cared about the unspoken rules set by the aristocrats who were arrogatory.

His unusual behavior soon attracted attention.

Most of the nobles covered half of their faces with ornate folding fans, and looked at Salian with undisguised disdain in their eyes, obviously disgusted that he did not understand the rules.

Anastria, who was watching the four roads, noticed the slight commotion in the corner of the venue, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Smack~Slap~"

The Sun King clapped his hands, drawing the attention of most of the people present.

"Guys, I wonder if the drinks and food in the venue are satisfactory to you?"

"When you are full of wine and food, it is time for the celebration banquet to enter the second stage."

"Da~"

The Sun King raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and the scenery in the banquet hall changed without warning.

Saljan had just finished nibbling on a chicken leg and was wiping his hands with the wipes the waiter had handed him.

The table in front of him suddenly disappeared, replaced by rows of delicate and ornate chairs, and Anastria stood on the podium covered in red carpet, smiling at the guests whose faces had changed color.

Darkan cautiously looked around, his eyes showing shock and fear.

"Wide-ranging space displacement spells? Is this a disadvantage? ”

Under the joint spell cast by the royal mages, the original banquet hall and the celebration hall that Anastria had prepared for a long time were replaced by each other, and the guests in the venue did not have the slightest sense of disobedience when the spell was activated.

From this point, we can see the deep heritage of the royal family of the Sunchaser, and dispel the contempt for the royal family in the hearts of some inflated people.

"So, let's get started."

Anastria's expression became solemn, and she took a richly decorated parchment roll from the handsome royal maid beside her.

According to the past practice, the order of awards is not based on the size of the merit, but on the status of the meritorious person.

"Romans Sunrage, please come forward."

"Yes."

A male elf dressed in an ornate archmage's robe stepped out of the crowd and respectfully saluted the Sun King's chest.

Unimpressed by the age-old tradition of Quel'Salas as a hero, Saljan casually found a chair and sat down, cross-armed, and watched coldly.

Barrage was slightly taken aback when he heard Romans' name.

"Archmage Romans, it turns out that he is a member of the Sunfury family."

"It's not surprising, this guy was originally a hardcore royal party, and there are only about a dozen well-known families in the royal faction."

"Firewing, Morning Blade, Blazing Hand, Shadow Blade, Flame Blade, what else?"

"Sunfury, Deep Shadow, Firehawk, Sunseeker, Sangunar."

"Wait a minute...... I found a problem. ”

"Yan Ying, isn't he one of the four nobles? Why did it become a royal party later? ”

"Because they're down, my family."

"Grass, don't be kidding, in fact, the reason is very simple."

"The radical faction among the four nobles was completely uprooted, and when they came to power, they naturally became a faction of the princely family."

"I speculate that in the original history without the intervention of Sarean, Anasria's purge of the four nobles was not complete, and only the Yanying family took a firm stance towards the royal family."

"But even if they aren't completely liquidated, they certainly won't be doing well."

"Darkan took advantage of the continued entanglement between the Sun King and the great nobles to stand out and become the backbone of the Silver Moon Council."

The boring discussion of the status reward ceremony is not as interesting as the topic of the barrage discussion, and Sarian focuses most of his energy on communicating with the barrage and watching from the sidelines, and does not pay much attention to the ongoing rituals.

"Next, Riresa Windranger."

As the aged Anastria began to show its weariness, Sarjan, who had been in a semi-distracted state, finally heard the familiar name.

Riresa is still leading the way in a sweep of the trolls, and is unable to claim the reward in person.

She deliberately sent her second daughter, Sylvanas, who was destined to inherit the position of Ranger General in the future, to lead on her behalf.

When Sylvanas, dressed in a dress, walked onto the stage, many male aristocrats below let out a chuckle that everyone understands, sounding ...... It's a bit obscene.

Sylvanas was not well suited to this kind of gathering of nobles.

She only had a natural smile on her face when she communicated with Anastria, and the rest of the time she always put on a cold look.

There is nothing worth saying about Riresa's reward, it is nothing more than an increase in the scope of the territory, rewards and goods, and a reduction in the taxes on the territory handed over to the state within a few years.

The nobles who lived in Silvermoon City had no objection to this, and in their opinion, no amount of increase in the territory of the "country" lord would help.

Although the Windranger family has a lot of prestige among the people, it is still mud legs after all, and it can't be elegant.

After Riresa, Anastria read several well-known rangers that Salaan was familiar with, including Lotherma Theron and Haduron Mingyi, who were nicknamed Aron by the barrage.

"The last one."

The long list of bounties finally came to an end, and Anastria breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Sun King was ventilating, a glimmer of light flashed in Darkan's eyes, and he deliberately lowered his head to keep a low profile, but there was a look of good show in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment!"

A red-haired man in ornate chain mail suddenly stood up from his seat and stepped out of the crowd under Anastria's stunned gaze.

Sylvanas, who had just sat down, flashed his eyes: "Sure enough, it's here, this guy isn't ......"

Anastria, who was already quite tired, had a blank look on his face: "I remember, you are Mattis of the Flame Eagle Family, right?" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, it is an honor for you to remember my name. ”

The red-haired man known as Matisse behaved respectfully and courteously, and did not have the same contempt for royal power as the radicals among the four nobles.

It is clear that Mattis is the royal faction of the Flame Eagle family.

"What a good means, before I have time to integrate the Wang faction that has taken refuge in me, I will say in advance that the juniors of the Yanying family will be pawns. ’

Anastria, who was full of acting skills, did not show any clues on his face, and comforted him with a gentle smile: "Don't be nervous, child, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Yes, I beg your pardon."

Mattis turned his head and looked straight at Sarren, who was watching the play with his legs crossed and his chest crossed.

"I heard that Your Majesty intends to reward a half-elf with impure blood? Dare to ask if this is true? ”

"Wow!"

Under the still indifferent gaze of Sarren, the nobles on the scene exploded all at once.

"How can this be true? How can a lowly half-elf be rewarded by His Majesty personally, I am against it! ”

"Please also consider carefully, the noble tradition of Quel'Salas cannot be tarnished, and this cannot be started!"

Valeera, who was hiding in the shadows and watching the whole time, gritted her teeth angrily.

'Waste who only lies on the merits of the ancestors! Incompetent vested interests! Obviously, you are the biggest obstacle to Quel'Thalas's growth! ’
