The night after the tournament is bound to be a night of carnival.
Hundreds of bonfires were built by the Crystal River, and the skinned cattle and sheep were slowly turning on the barbecue grill. Drops of fat splashed on the fire, and clusters of flames jumped up, coated with spices and salt, and the tempting aroma In an instant, it permeated the surrounding air.
A long table was set up beside the bonfire, and it was full of vegetables, fruits and bread.
Tens of thousands of half-elf people sat around the bonfire, enjoying the free food and wine provided by Queen Aisha, while talking about the scenes that happened in the daytime tournament.
Some were lamenting for Carl Miller, some were cursing the half-elf traitor Omar, saying that he deserved what he deserved, and some were arguing over who would be awarded the championship of the tournament...
But there is no talk about Ensfa Rutte.
The performance of the former Duke Rutte in killing Omar Knight in the tournament today, although very relieved, made the half-elves feel cold when they recalled it.
The kind of indifference to other people's lives, even his own life, is no different from the devil.
The current lively and noisy atmosphere is really not suitable for talking about such creepy things. It is better to eat barbecue, drink fine wine, and enjoy the happy time of the hunting festival.
Of course, the half-elf nobles would not huddle together with the commoners at the picnic party, and their banquet was held in the half-elf palace.
Hundreds of fish oil candles illuminated the elegant and magnificent banquet hall like daylight, and hundreds of half-elven nobles and distinguished guests gathered in the hall, quietly waiting for the banquet to start.
The delicious food and wine were all ready, and the tempting aroma wafted in the air, but the nobles and guests present all stood with their hands tied, looking at the center of the hall.
There, Queen Aisha wore a gorgeous palace dress, revealing her white right shoulder and a pair of well-proportioned and moist arms. A purple belt highlighted her slender waist, which looked completely different from a newborn The mother of the child.
Her green hair was braided in a complicated and gorgeous style, dotted with crystal diamonds and silver hairpins, which exuded charming brilliance under the candlelight.
At this time, she was holding a knight sword, resting on the shoulder of the Joseph knight half kneeling in front of her, and said loudly:
"Joseph Palon, are you willing to serve me?"
Knight Joseph, who won the runner-up in the tournament, could no longer maintain a calm attitude. He looked up at the dazzling Queen Aisha, and said loudly:
"I, Joseph Pallone, today offer my unparalleled loyalty to the great blood-stained thorn-Her Majesty Queen Aisha Miller!
As long as I live, your will will be my goal, and your instructions will be my faith!
I swear in the sacred name of the ancestors of the Palong family, to be loyal to you forever! "
The Palong family is not a prominent family in the Half-Elf Kingdom, and has even been reduced to the point where they lost their titles.
But it was the illegitimate son of such a down and out family—Joseph Palon, who became the champion of the tournament.
The half-elf nobles who watched the ceremony were extremely envious of Joseph's good luck, thinking that if it wasn't for the real champion—Knight Carl Miller died tragically at the hands of Knight Omar, it would not be Joseph's turn to enjoy such glory.
But only a few people know that Joseph's strength is not inferior to Karl Miller's.
Looking at this scene, Colin suddenly thought that if Joseph hadn't chosen to give up the championship to Carl Miller at the last moment, then perhaps he would have died at the hands of Cavalier Omar.
From this point of view, this Cavalier Joseph is really "a good man is rewarded".
"I, the lord of the half-elf kingdom, Aisha Miller, in the name of the queen, canonized Joseph Palon as the viscount lord of the half-elf kingdom. From today, the Palong family is the hereditary viscount family of the half-elf kingdom."
After finishing speaking, Queen Aisha returned the long sword to Viscount Palong, and at the same time took out a seal from the tray held by the attendant next to her, saying:
"Viscount Joseph Palon, in the name of the half-elf queen, I appoint you as the commander of the Silver Moon Guard. I hope you will shoulder the responsibility of guarding the half-elf kingdom under the watchful eye of the Supreme Lord!"
This appointment was beyond everyone's expectations. They never expected that the half-elf queen would hand over such an important position as the commander of the Silver Moon Guard to a guy from a humble background who had just stepped into the circle of half-elf aristocrats.
In contrast, even the Queen directly skipped the baron and conferred the title of Viscount Joseph Palon, which seemed less abrupt.
Joseph Palon didn't seem to have expected that Queen Aisha would hand over such a heavy responsibility to himself. While shocked, he also seemed to have a clear understanding. Resoluteness appeared on his bronze-colored face, and he said in a deep voice:
"I, Joseph Palon, in this sacred place, under the watchful eye of the Supreme Lord, swear that from today until death, I will protect the half-elven kingdom with my glory, my life, and everything I have!"
At this time, some smart half-elf nobles finally reacted and understood the deep meaning of Queen Aisha's choice of such a baseless knight as the commander of the Silver Moon Guard.
There is no doubt that a dazzling star will rise with astonishing speed in the half-elven kingdom.
With the rise of Viscount Palong, the situation in the half-elf kingdom will also undergo earth-shaking changes.
With the rise of new forces, the old forces are bound to decline.
Moreover, this is the will of Queen Aisha and Earl Angelet, and no one can stop it.
After realizing this, many half-elven nobles present became trembling. Even if Queen Aisha announced the official start of the banquet, they could no longer regain that joyful mood.
Queen Aisha obviously didn't care about the concerns of those old nobles. After two rebellions and purges, Silvermoon City should indeed have some new faces.
"... The Silver Moon Guard is currently disarming, weeding out some old, weak, sick and disabled, so as to replenish some fresh blood. Don't worry if you just took over, first familiarize yourself with the situation and get to know the generals in the army. As for the future development of the Silver Moon Guard Direction, I will tell you later..."
Queen Aisha briefly explained to Viscount Palong about the Silver Moon Guard, and then walked gracefully to Colin's side, directly taking his arm.
Lord Fei Yin, who was talking to Colin, paused for a moment, but immediately looked away, pretending not to see, and continued:
"Your Majesty, Count Angelet, I reported your intention to the Duke of St. Pros after I went back last time. After some consideration, the Duke decided to agree to your plan to redeem Marquis Vincent with a battleship. However, the number and tonnage of warships still need to be further discussed.”
Colin looked at Lord Feiyin with a smile on his face, and said casually:
"Okay, since that's the case, let's discuss it slowly."
Lord Feiyin wanted to talk again, but Colin had already turned his head to whisper to Queen Elsa. At the same time, the two turned around hand in hand intimately, as if they no longer planned to talk to Lord Feiyin.
Fei Yinjue had no choice but to keep his mouth shut again. The other party's ignoring attitude made his heart boil with anger, but he didn't dare to explode.
The trip to Silvermoon City this time was not as smooth as expected, but Lord Feiyin was not too anxious. According to the Duke of St. Pross, he still had plenty of time.
