The competition meeting has not yet begun, and it has become quite lively with the discussion of the crowd.
This is a rare event in Stone Pass for years.
In retrospect.
The last time an athletic meeting of this scale was held at the Stone Pass was when Baron Dylan had just obtained the title of baron and became the lord of the place. It has been a full 10 years now.
As for the competitive assembly that can radiate the entire North County Territory.
Only Viscount Wayne, who has ruled the entire Northshire in place of Archduke Cameron, can convene every 3 years in his Fort Roger.
After all, the cost of holding a competitive assembly is not something that ordinary lords can afford.
The banquet was declared over after noon.
Everyone left the lord's hall of the official residence, followed the carpet prepared by the servants, walked up the spiral staircase, and came to the city wall on the south side. There is a 10-meter-wide city wall area close to the mountain wall and inlaid rock. 's official residence.
A viewing platform was built for the competition.
The next competition will be held in the square on the south side of the city wall. Sitting on the 7-meter-high viewing platform, you can see it clearly, and any discussion will not affect the competition in the square below.
Early in the early morning hours.
The servants had prepared linen shade tents in advance, which were pulled up with hemp ropes and hung over their heads to cover the scorching sun.
With the gentle mountain wind blowing, it still brings a little coolness.
Although it is close to the Naluun Desert, there is a cold current gushing out of the ground in the Sanwaya Mountains all year round, so it can neutralize the heat wave that hits the desert, allowing animals and plants to multiply in the mountains, becoming the gateway to the stone pass. A natural hunting ground that the villages depend on for a living.
Scholars and mages from the Principality of the Lion have joined forces to investigate the Sunwaya Mountains.
Gives such a conclusion.
The conclusion claims that the cold current in the Sangwaya Mountains is a negative energy, and long-term exposure is harmful to animals and plants.
However, the long-term erosion of the positive energy and fire energy in the Naron Desert slows the overflow of negative energy, so it is safe and sound, but even so, there are more demonized creatures in the Sangwaya Mountains than in other areas. Dozens of times, the hunting team in the village often encountered it, or rushed into the logging field and quarry, and it needed the rescue of the knights to suppress it.
But this is not worth caring about for the vassal knights and gentlemen and celebrities currently sitting on the viewing platform.
They have lived in Stone Pass for 10 years.
Some of the villages and families that have been built in the Stone Pass have lived for hundreds of years, and have not seen demonized creatures rushing down the mountains. On the contrary, the gnolls from the Nalun Desert have caused more damage. big.
Now there is the fortress of Stone Pass, and a large number of regular troops and more than 20 knights are stationed.
Absolutely foolproof.
Compared to struggling with this issue, the landowners and businessmen who have arrived now bring the best children of their families and are close to those vassal knights, just like selling their own children, wanting to become the vassal knights. attendant.
And these vassal knights are also willing to talk to these rich and powerful landlords and merchants.
The overall atmosphere is very harmonious.
Although knights are nothing in the eyes of true nobles.
However, knights still belong to the reserve of nobles, and they have the opportunity to become nobles. After all, there is a slang saying in the lion principality, knights cannot be nobles, but nobles are definitely knights.
After all, the Principality of Lions is established by force, and the high-end arms of knights have been listed separately as a class.
And other human principalities are similar.
That's why these landlords and businessmen are so keen to let their children know knights. Once they are accepted as attendants, they have the possibility to become knights, and they have the qualifications to become nobles!
If a knight is a noble reserve.
Then the knight attendant is the knight's reserve!
Kant and Baron Dylan stood on the side of the viewing platform, and there were no businessmen and landlords around, only Manid and two close vassal knights accompanied each other, talking with each other, smiling and saying something pleasant thing.
The competition is still in preparation.
But just outside the city walls, infantry in iron-clad leather armor had blocked the square.
There are already more spectators waiting around. After all, the competition is often not the entertainment time for the nobles, but also the entertainment time for the commoners. Many residents of the Stone Pass have come to watch this event that has been seen for several years. In the less than one event, the whispered conversation room was also full of crowds and noisy sounds.
There are even many small vendors who have found business opportunities and sell a lot of snacks in rattan baskets. Most of them are fruit platters made of chopped wild apples from the mountains and mixed with other chopped wild fruits. In a wooden bowl, 1 small silver coin can buy a large portion.
The residents of Stone Pass often have the spare money to buy snacks.
Soon these small traders are making a lot of money.
For such a grand event, everyone is happy to spend money. Even the butler on the viewing platform sent someone down to buy a few rattan baskets. They threw away the wooden bowls and replaced them with more exquisite silver bowls. Let anyone eat or drink on the table.
At the same time, all kinds of pastries were also served and placed on the table.
And sweet wine made with honey, water, and ale diluted.
There is also freshly squeezed lime juice, plus a fruit drink mixed with honey and water.
They are all placed in barrels on the viewing platform.
After all, those who can come to the viewing platform are all honorable and respectable people who have been invited. Ordinary small businessmen and small landlords can not receive invitations, and can only crowd with the crowd outside the city wall under the viewing platform. .
"It's so lively."
Kant held a silver wine glass in his hand and couldn't help sighing.
Baron Dylan smiled and nodded: "This is specially arranged to welcome you."
"Thank you, Uncle Dylan." Kant thanked him gratefully.
At the same time, he held a silver wine glass and lifted it up like a toast. He took a sip of the malt wine with lime juice in it. The convention is over."
Baron Dylan watched Kant's graceful movements with jealousy deep in his eyes.
This is the calmness and elegance that can only be possessed by children of nobles who have been raised since childhood.
But soon Baron Dylan's heart returned to calm, looking at Kant's sighed and lost appearance, the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile, but his eyes were somewhat contented. Even if it is elegant and calm, how can I still respect him so much, even call him you, and call him uncle.
Be aware.
If Kant is really still that eldest son.
If this is the South County Territory directly under the Duchy.
It is estimated that the name of this uncle alone can attract the most severe reprimand from Lion Castle!
But now.
He Dylan, the warrior nobleman who was originally looked down upon by everyone, can become the uncle of the youngest son of Duke Cameron, and he can stand in front of him and accept this rightful title!
"You seem to be thinking of something unpleasant?"
Baron Dylan chuckled and said firmly to Kant: "You can tell me, no matter what, I will still be your strongest backing, if there is any problem, I will settle it for you, just for Princess Sophia In the name of , I once swore my loyalty to her, and you, who belong to her bloodline, will also do my best to the best of my ability."
"You reassure me. Uncle Dylan." Kant bowed his head, shaking his head slightly and smiling bitterly.
Like a lost child, he sighed softly and said, "I was not qualified to participate in the competition at the Lion's Castle. Even if I could go, I could only be at the bottom, watching my father and brother on the viewing platform, and They couldn't see me in the crowd at all."
Baron Dylan's eyes were filled with pride.
When the tone is calm, he even provokes discord: "It doesn't matter, now you have your own territory and master the salt mine, why do you have to obey their arrangements? You can live more like yourself, just like Like your mother, she has her own opinions and does not rely on too much, because she herself holds the power to influence the country."
"My mother?" Kant seemed curious.
"That's right." Baron Dylan sighed slightly: "Princess Sophia, at the beginning there was a powerful Silver Knights Order, but when your mother died, this Order was disbanded~IndoMTL.com~Kant Slightly stunned.
This has never been recorded in history, and in those books.
In the academy, Kant specifically searched for records about his mother, just to find clues.
The purpose is also to use the power that my mother once left behind, so that I can get some support, at least before the golden finger is realized, I can live less depressed.
No matter how much he searched, he couldn't find any records about his mother, except that he was the second wife of Archduke Cameron.
After being ill and forgetting, all records were lost.
In this way, it seems that someone deliberately erased all records of his mother.
Think of the nobles in the Principality of Lions, and topics that are like taboos, except in this remote place to talk about, even in a college with a strong academic atmosphere, Kant's mother, Princess Sophia is not allowed to talk.
Think about it, even some mentors deliberately don't lend Kant certain books.
It appears to be for this underlying reason.
Some people just want Princess Sophia to be wiped out in time, completely blocking this news from Kant, lest any accidents happen, or some secrets that should not appear.
Just like the current Silver Knights.
Kant knew nothing about this.
"If you have the help of the Silver Knights, I don't think those gnolls are your opponents at all."
Baron Dylan also seemed to be sighing.
Looking at Kant next to him, he also said with nostalgia: "It is said that the Silver Light Knights are composed of 1,000 highly skilled knights, and the highest commander is 10 great knights who have mastered extraordinary power, really It is very powerful."
"10 great knights." Kant was slightly stunned.
According to his understanding of the Great Knight, it is indeed extremely terrifying.
