Outside the south wall of Panshi Castle, there are many tents and colorful flags flying. Originally, it was the knights showing off their power, but the open space of the duel had already been covered with a dark red felt carpet. On it were rows of neatly arranged long log tables and stools cut into pieces of logs. On the long table are large pots of stewed beef, boiled apples, fist-sized white bread, large pieces of grilled lamb, grilled sausages and other dishes. In addition to these, there is also a large basket of Northland fruit blue strawberries.
Today is the celebration banquet for the victory of the Northland Harmony Cup Knight Tournament jointly organized by the Norton Family and the Kenmes Family. Whether it is a wandering knight, a free knight or a family knight, you can find a seat at these long tables and relax. Eat and drink a lot, have enough wine and meat, and reward the servants and civilians who serve or please with the food on the table.
Wandering knights and free knights have knight certification badges made of black iron on their chests, while family knights wear silver family knight badges. In the vindictive world of Galintia, this is also an invisible boundary, which greatly elevates the status of the knight class.
Obtaining a knight certification badge is very simple and difficult. Generally speaking, territorial nobles, legion-level troops, golden knights, and academies with knight training have the right and qualification to issue knight certification badges, and even some old wandering knights, free Knights and family knights, who pass on the skills of knighthood to their heirs, and can also pass on the badge of knight certification. For example, Lorist has received knight training at Dawn Academy, and if he is certified, he will naturally have a knight certification badge.
Fighting Qi black iron rank, has received knight training, knows knight etiquette, and has a little wealth, pay a little fee, you can get a knight certification badge and become an apprentice knight. If the battle qi level reaches silver, you are a quasi-knight. You can choose to become a wandering knight, a free knight, or serve a certain lord as a knight of his family. Of course, there are also many poor civilians who choose to become knight servants, and then grow up step by step from the servants to become quasi-knights.
Like Richard, the leader of the Cromwell mercenary group, he has one star of fighting spirit gold, but without a knight certification badge, he is not eligible to sit on the table. However, as a gold mercenary, he naturally had special invitations to invite him to the lords' banquet, instead of competing for seats with the knights in the open space.
As for poor Jim, he is just a silver mercenary. He has neither a knight certification badge nor a Norton family knight badge. Badge was eating and drinking down there, how could he, who loves to be lively by nature, bear it, and kept thinking, cursing that the two guys below would bite the stones and break their teeth and eat their stomachs.
Lorist is wearing a dress. The dress style of the nobles of the former Krissen Empire is very simple. It is a white split coat with a stand-up collar. After wearing it, put on a chest hanger. The so-called chest hanger is like a long towel , there is a hole in the middle, and it is pulled down from the head, revealing the vertical collar. The chest hanging is very wide, the shoulders are slightly raised on both sides, and it hangs to the knees, and then a refined belt is used to fasten the chest hanging and the white coat.
The sky blue chest hanging is very gorgeous, with a circle of golden laurel leaves embroidered with gold silk around the edge, and inside are clusters of golden blooming star flowers, which are the symbol of the royal family of Christen, which means that the title of the Norton family is only Under the jurisdiction of the Krissen royal family, in the middle of the chest hangs a roaring golden bear and a small golden sword. The angry bear is the emblem of the Norton family, and the golden sword represents the military nobles.
Sedkamp complimented: "My lord, you are really handsome in this dress, very noble and heroic..."
This was the first time Lorist put on a formal aristocratic dress, and he felt something was wrong all over his body. But there is no way, the next thing to attend is the banquet of the lords, and this kind of dress can only be worn on formal occasions.
"How's Miss Tresty?" Lorist asked.
Sedkamp shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work. I asked little Winnie, and she's still lying in bed today and won't get up."
Lorist originally wanted to invite Miss Teresty to attend the celebration banquet with him, but he came to her place last night to solve the water well problem, and to send an invitation. But unfortunately, Miss Tresty's aunt came to see her these days. It was only then that Lorist discovered that Miss Tresty still had dysmenorrhea, so he sincerely proposed a way to help her...
Cough, cough, uh, um, well, it is said that men and women can alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea after intercourse... Then Lorist was smashed and thrown by the embarrassed Miss Theresty with a room full of knick-knacks kicked out of the room...
Alas, a dog biting Lu Dongbin didn't know a good heart, but what I said was really not a lie. In the previous life, the relationship between my secretary and her husband was not good because of this. The secretary said that when she was in college, she went to see a doctor with dysmenorrhea. The doctor gave her this advice. The one who chased her gave away the first time, and naturally broke up after graduating from college. Later, she married this husband because she was not in a good relationship.
When the secretary said this, she was lying naked in Lorist's arms, and the two of them had just finished tossing about on the bed. But at that time, what Lorist was interested in was not the relationship between the secretary and her husband, but asked whether the dysmenorrhea could be cured by that? The secretary said that after breaking the news, the symptoms were relieved, and after Huan got better, she didn't feel any pain when she came back again. Given the situation at the time, Lorist didn't think the secretary would lie to him, because it was just a very relaxed and pleasant in-depth exchange.
But Miss Tresty didn't believe this statement, and Lorist couldn't cite examples from her previous life to prove it. Lorist, who was rejected by the door, had no choice but to roll back to his residence in dismay.
Josk stood by the city gate and waited for Lorist's arrival, Vasimma was still in Maplewood Villa, and only Ovekis and Pat were family knights here in Rock Castle, who could attend the knight's banquet. Paul Bins and Jim are not family knights yet, one has taken over Ovekis' job of leading the troops to train, patrol and guard the prisoners, and the other is in charge of defending the city wall, and is lying on it and thinking about it.
Lorist took Sodkamp and Reddy down the tower, and when he saw Josk, he wanted to scold him. This guy was dressed more handsomely than himself, the lord. He was wearing an aristocratic dress, but Josk was wearing a silver knight armor, which was extremely dazzling. Coupled with his handsome face and melancholy eyes, Lorist knew the attention of those ladies. The power will never be concentrated on yourself.
Reddy was flying the banner of the Norton family's Raging Bear, and Sedkamp was leading the way, while Lorist led Josk on horseback and rode leisurely across the open space. Clowns performing funny shows along the way, servants busy delivering wine and food, dancers dancing celebratory dances, and jugglers climbing on high shelves, singing poets singing legendary epics loudly, And magicians who breathe fire. These people stopped their movements when Lorist passed by, and bowed deeply to Lorist to show their respect.
From time to time, a knight stood up from the stool and gave Lorist a knight's chest salute. Lorist nodded and asked Suedkamp strangely: "Who are they? I don't know them. Why do you salute to me?"
Sedkamp was very distressed, how much trouble would it be for him to have such an absent-minded master: "Master, have you forgotten, I have already reported to you yesterday that twenty-nine wandering knights are willing to come to us The effectiveness of the armed forces of the family, so that he can make contributions and become our Norton family knight."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot." Lorist said, "Are they all of the Silver Order?"
"Oh..." Sedkamp sighed: "My lord, if you hadn't added an archery event, there would never have been so many knights joining our family. In fact, seventeen of them are still from the Black Iron Order. Not long after I got the knight certification badge, I came here just to see it, and I signed up for the archery competition when I found out that there is no battle qi level limit. Pat said that their arrows are good, so they are all recruited. "
"Hehe," Lorist said happily, "Pat did the right thing. Now it is black iron, and it will soon become silver. Maybe in the future, there will be many golden archer knights like Josk in our family..."
"Impossible." Josk interjected, "It's impossible for them to have my archery talent, and it's impossible for them to have another Green Benny. At most, they're just good at archery."
Green Benny is the nickname for Josk's green longbow. This green longbow is said to be the rib of a dragon dug out from a ruin, and it took more than ten years to make it in the hands of a master bow maker. Cheng, regard it as a treasure and always keep it by your side. Later, by chance, Baron Umado got it and gave it to Josk as an engagement gift for him and the baron's daughter.
"Shut up, Joe, I will definitely let someone make a better bow than your Green Benny, believe it or not." Lorist said very unhappy.
"By the way, didn't you say that Viscount Kenmes is also recruiting wandering knights to organize some kind of knight order? How many did he recruit?" Lorist remembered this matter.
"My lord, there are more than eighty wandering knights who have defected to the past and joined the knights formed by the Kenmes family." Sedkamp said with a serious face: "In addition to the Kenmes family, there is also the Pegasus family, that is. Baron Felim Challward of the Felim family also recruited nearly fifty wandering knights. There were seven or eight other lords who recruited one or two wandering knights, and the rest were not interested in recruiting. manpower."
"Then how many knights have come to participate in the conference this time?" Lorist looked at the dozens of rows of long log tables in the open space. There were no less than a thousand or eight hundred people around the tables.
"My lord, this time we and the Kenmes family jointly held the Knights Tournament for a total of 27 days, and the momentum was very loud. Thirty-seven nobles from the territory came here. It is said that there are two other lords who are fighting, Halfway through hearing the news, I decided to shake hands and rush over with the family knights. The wandering knights and free knights who heard the news are estimated to be five or six hundred people, and the family knights brought by the lords should be close to seven. About eight hundred people."
Well, the thirty-seven lords, together with the original number of nobles in the territory that almost reached half of the northern land, this momentum is indeed very big. It's just that what Lorist didn't expect was that there were so many wandering knights and free knights in the Northland, five or six hundred people were too many.
Soon the large tent for the lord's banquet arrived. The Kenmes family is indeed the largest construction chamber in the former empire. The large tent that Lorist has made is the largest that Lorist has seen so far, and it is enough to accommodate hundreds of people to hold a dance inside.
After signing up, Lorist walked in with Josk and Sodkamp, while Reddy took care of the horses outside the tent with the Bear Angry banner.
Sedkamp reminded: "My lord, the one who greeted us is Viscount Kenmes..."
This was the first time Lorist saw Viscount Kenmes. He was a little shorter than himself, with golden curly hair hanging over his shoulders, and he was also very handsome, with a clean shaven beard and an iron blue chin. . With a graceful and magnanimous smile on his face, he is personable and has a chic demeanor. He is really a handsome man.
Lorist looked back at Josk, thinking that this guy was comparable to Viscount Kenmes.
Josk was puzzled, looked at himself and asked, "How do I pull?"
Lorist ignored him.
Viscount Kenmes is also wearing a noble dress, but his chest is dark blue, the edge is embroidered with silver three-color grass, and in the middle are roses representing the Iberian royal family and the three gold rings of the Kenmes family badge.
Viscount Kenmes came up to him with a big laugh, and opened his hands to welcome him: "Finally, I've seen the Baron. I've heard about you for a long time, and this time I'm meeting a real person. It's really an honor."
Lorist was keenly aware of the resentment and suppressed anger that flitted across Viscount Kenmes' eyes. Laughed, and said in his heart that this guy is still thinking about the private money of the one hundred thousand Jinford. He also opened his arms and hugged Lord Viscount warmly: "Haha, I am also looking forward to the meeting with Lord Viscount, but I am so busy with work that I really don't have time. But today is my long-cherished wish."
The two chatted for a while, and then Viscount Kenmes took Lorist to introduce the nobles from the territory who came to the banquet and the 30 or 40 ladies who came to join in the fun. What Lorist admired was , this guy around so many guests can clearly introduce their names and family backgrounds like a few treasures, and even talk about the glorious and heroic deeds of these people's ancestors, no wonder this guy Being able to handle such an occasion like a fish in water, maneuvering freely, and being warmly welcomed and loved by those ladies and ladies.
After Lorist felt that his face was gone from smiling, the introduction was finally finished, and everyone sat down to enjoy the delicious food provided by the chef hired by the Kenmes family.
Among all the lords who came to the banquet in the big tent, Lorist paid the most attention to two, one was the guy with a sincere and friendly mask beside him, because Lorist could feel the viscount's malice and resentment hidden behind the mask . The second is Baron Felim Challward of the Pegasus family. This baron looks innocent and harmless, but Lorist can feel the tyranny and ferocity in his bones, and this The baron is already a knight of the golden rank.
