Chapter Ninety-Five: The Banquet
Soon, the long square table was filled with delicacies by the servants, white bread, roast poultry sprinkled with spices, pork sausages, fruit, beer barrels......
This is already the standard of a fairly sumptuous little feast, and even some small kings can hardly eat such food at every meal.
This is also due to the fact that the Kingdom of Bohemia was rich in plains, developed agriculture, and abundant products, and the lords were generally richer than the German nobles in other regions.
Leon couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the table full of delicacies.
Since coming to this era, he has hardly treated his belly, and even eating has become an errand to fill his stomach.
As if seeing through Leon's embarrassment, Princess Calulina smiled and said, "The knight of Leon must have traveled a long way, it must have been hard, let's eat first." ”
With that, she took the lead in the main seat, and then the Knights of Bervar also took off their gloves, armour, and helmet.
Princess Calulina gently raised her wine glass and took a sip: "Thank you for the timely arrival of the Knight of Leon, and I wish you success in exterminating demons and peace at Windsor Castle." ”
Li Ang nodded in greeting: "I lend you auspicious words." ”
Princess Calulina said with great interest: "To be honest, I admire you for your feat of daring to break the conventions of the world. ”
Leon swept over the white swan-like neck of her ruby necklace and chuckled, "Although it sounds romantic to become a witcher, in fact, you have to fight against all kinds of dangerous monsters, and you have to eat and sleep in the open often, and the suffering is only known to us. ”
Princess Calulina smiled, "That's why it's more admirable, isn't it?"
She looked at her guardian knight again, and her face was sad: "We love each other deeply, but because of the constraints of the world, we can only enjoy a short period of warmth when Iskar leaves, but unfortunately, we have less courage than you." ”
Li Ang didn't ask why he didn't elope if he wanted to pursue love, and said against his heart: "I am moved by your love." ”
Princess Calulina asked, "Knight of Leon, when did you become a witcher?"
Leon didn't blink his eyes, and said, "Three years ago, before the Black Death, His Majesty the King was still fighting against the rebels, and my father was also called to Count Campbell in Syracuse, leaving me to guard the territory. ”
If he said that he had only been a demon hunter for more than a month, he would probably be blasted out immediately.
Kalulina picked up a piece of bread and chewed it gently, smiling, "Can you tell us how you became a witcher?" ”
Li Ang said: "Of course. ”
"At this moment, an evil witch appeared in my father's territory, she was screened out by the priest and imprisoned, but secretly tried to summon a terrible demon to destroy everything, but I was discovered by me, who was still a knight's squire at the time, and broke her evil ritual, and later ......"
Li Ang, who has been baptized by later generations of online novels, easily made up a story with ups and downs and a gripping story.
Calulina and Boval both exclaimed in amazement: "These wicked witches are terrible, they can not only spread plagues, but also summon demons, thank God for saving you from it." ”
Leon drew a cross and said, "Thank God." ”
Caluliana put her hands on her cheeks, her beautiful eyes rippled, and she praised: "Knight Leon, I heard that witchers are rough people, but I didn't expect that there would be such a handsome person as you who talk so well. ”
Li Ang smiled: "You have an overreputation, my father admired classical culture, and once asked someone to teach me to write, so I may be able to speak more than ordinary people." ”
Kalulina smiled, "I also admire classical culture. ”
Leon said, "By the way, when did that Daredevil start to appear, what were the signs when it came to Windsor Castle, and who was sure it was the Daredevil?"
Leon began to get to the point, and that was the only information he wanted to know.
Bowval was finally able to interject, and he said, "It must have been a month ago. I was on patrol that night when I suddenly heard movement and rushed to the church, and found that the parish priest had been badly wounded, the lower part of his body had been gnawed off, and after telling us that the attacker was a monster called the 'Night Demon', he had died of his wounds - as for the signs...... I don't remember any signs, it was as if it had suddenly appeared near Windsor Castle. ”
Leon nodded thoughtfully.
In other words, it is most likely summoned from the abyss, but the question is who summoned it?
Daredevil, unlike Nasrezm, has a hard time crossing the line easily.
His face remained unchanged as he continued to talk to the two.
Staggered, push the cup and change the lamp.
Li Ang quickly pretended to be overwhelmed by the strength of the drink, and excused himself: "I'm sorry, although the lunch is very rich, the drinks are very tempting, and the two of you want to talk for a long time, but I still have to deal with the night demon, so I think I need to rest for a while to recharge." ”
Calulinna's cheeks were crimson, and it seemed that she couldn't wait to make love to her mistress, and she didn't want to keep Leon anymore, and got up and said, "The knight of Leon is really dutiful, you go to rest, the servant will arrange a room for you, and if there is any need, just ask him to inform me." ”
"Thank you again for your hospitality. ”
Leon followed the servant back to the room and breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just not fit for the occasion.
He didn't say his aristocratic status to really mingle with the dog man and woman, but just to get their wholehearted cooperation.
For other things, including the adultery between the two of them, he didn't care about it at all, which was the atmosphere of this era.
Of course, even if this is the case, adultery is still a felony, and even if Count Iskar directly cuts off the two of them, he can't find anything wrong from the legal point of view.
But it is estimated that he will not have such courage, and he may not want to do so.
There is no love in a political marriage, what he needs to rely on is the power of his wife's family, not to offend his wife's family, as for the green hat or something, isn't there a good saying?
If you want to live a decent life, you have to have a little green on your head.
Once the face is torn, it can only be said that it is a lose-lose situation for them.
This is also the reason why Leon feels that it is difficult for him to find a wife in this era.
The furnishings in the room are simple, much like Leon's room at Tebelle Castle, but fortunately it is on the sunny side, and the room is quite dry.
He first activated a vigilant puppet, which would wake itself up directly when encountering anomalies or before dusk.
Then he cleared his mind, lay down on the bed, and began to relax his tired body to the fullest.
Tonight, even for several nights in a row, he probably didn't have much chance to sleep.
Because the Daredevil has the ability to fly and is extremely agile, it is quite difficult to kill with a single hit, and he must be prepared to fight a long battle, unless he is willing to use another demon transformation.
But that would be too wasteful, he has the flame of revenge, and he is already restraining the night demon in his attributes, so there is no need to rush to stack the [Abyssal Gaze] layers for himself.
He closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
