287. Visitors to the city of Ravenham
The wedding dinner was held in the estate's dining room, where Arendt invited five of the city's most famous chefs to prepare their best five dishes, and waiters lined up to serve plates of exquisite dishes.
The wooden lids of barrels of golden cider were smashed open, and the overflowing aroma of wine and fragrant barbecue was the main theme of tonight's banquet, and it is worth mentioning that the last dessert served was a hot drink, which was very much in line with the taste of the people of the north.
As the music plays, Arendt and Tracy dance the first song of the ball, followed by Viscount Frank and Madame Ethel, as well as Ryan and Fanny, and the whole dance floor is filled with people.
Winter life in El City is extremely monotonous, people crave something happy, and wedding dinners and balls are undoubtedly the most heartfelt activities for the people of El City, where everyone gathers to talk, drink and dance as if time assassins have quietly stolen time.
I sat drinking and chatting with Bobby, Marvin, Noah, and Benjamin, probably seeing us in magical robes, and some of the young girls in the Arendt family hesitated for a long time, and frequently cast enthusiastic glances at us, which seemed to imply that we could invite them to dance.
Senior Benjamin raised his glass and said to us, "Speaking of which, this is really a year worth going down into, and the barbarians who crossed the Galloping Horse into the province of Sloitt were all driven back to the ice tundra by the Northwind Legion, causing the falcons to end their hunting activities early, and I propose that we all have a toast to this." β
The golden cider prepared at the banquet was more than five years old, and although it did not have the unique sour taste of the golden cider made by Zimmermann Manor, it was also a good wine of excellent quality, and we all toasted together with the proposal of Senior Benjamin.
Northerners are very heroic in drinking, a glass of wine is rarely drunk in two separate drinks, and everyone at the banquet will have a wine glass in front of them.
Noah was also infected by the warm atmosphere here, and he was a little drunk a little anxious just now, and the wine was rising, and he said to Benjamin with emotion: "Ha! I followed Jijia's falcon team to hunt barbarians outside, although it was very exciting, but the weather here is really cold! Every day, I have to sleep in a tent in a cold and snowy environment, and every morning when I wake up, I get out of my sleeping bag, and a layer of hoarfrost hangs on the side of my mouth, and I feel like a piece of frozen meat!"
Senior Benjamin said with a surprised face: "Why, His Excellency Noah Magician also went to the suburbs to experience the life of falcons?"
Noah smiled and said, "Yes, when I was in the imperial capital, I often heard Jijia tell about his hunting of barbarians in the north, and finally waited for this opportunity, so I wanted to come and try it." β
After drinking a glass of wine, the two people who were not familiar with each other had a topic of chat.
Senior Benjamin asked Noah, "By the way, has Noah's Magician seen Jijia's ice magic trap?" Jijia is a very famous falcon in El City, and the frozen magic trap he invented is very famous in the circle of falcons in El City, and winter is the best-selling season for magic scrolls in El City. β
In order to be able to sell more 'Frost Scrolls' and 'Frost Nova Scrolls', Marven and I have spent a lot of time promoting Ice Magic Traps in the past few years.
It is precisely for this reason that many junior magicians receive invitations from veteran falcon teams, just so that there is someone in the team who can release the ice magic scroll.
And these ice magic traps also played a role in the process of hunting barbarians, just using ice magic scrolls for a hunt, no matter how to reduce expenses, it is a huge expense for the falcon team, and only people like Benjamin who don't care much about money are more interested in ice magic traps.
Everyone turned their eyes to Marven, Marven shrugged his shoulders, and said with a speechless face: "After going from Jijia to the imperial capital, the magic grocery store does not mainly promote ice-based magic scrolls, the main reason is because the number of magic scrolls that Jijia sends back from the imperial capital every time is much less than before, and the other sources of goods are not very stable. β
Marven seemed to think of something, patted his forehead, and asked me, "By the way, Jijia, have you taken the inscription master qualification exam?"
I replied, "Yes." β
Marven hurriedly asked me, "What is the result?
I smiled and said, "Of course, how can this kind of junior inscriptionist exam stump me." β
Marven knew that I had a solid foundation in the production of magic scrolls, and he also knew my shortcomings in inscription design, so he just asked casually, but he didn't expect that I had actually become a junior inscriptionist, and the wine glass in his hand shook violently, and the golden cider spilled on the placket on his chest.
Senior Benjamin grabbed my arm and said to me, "Ahh
There are only three inscription masters in El City, and these three inscription masters are already very busy repairing the damaged magic pattern construction, basically only receiving one or two orders for the magic pattern construction a month, and the specific delivery date depends on the mood, and now, hearing that I actually passed the qualification examination for junior inscription master, I am naturally extremely excited.
"yes!" I said to Senior Benjamin, "I've been learning from the Yerkes Scholar lately about making a Magical Pattern Build. β
Although Senior Benjamin was eager to ask me to help him draw a set of magic pattern constructs, he swallowed the words back into his stomach, just raised his glass and said, "Let's toast to the new junior inscription master Ji Jia!"
We all toasted together and said, "Cheers!"
After drinking this glass of wine, I quietly pulled Senior Benjamin's arm and whispered to him: "Three days later, there will be a magic airship flying from El City to the imperial capital, before that, if you want me to help you draw the magic pattern structure, come to my house with magic leather armor to find me." β
Benjamin's eyes lit up when he heard me say this, and he asked me, "The two-headed flame snake lizard skin armor magic pattern costume that Tracy wore today was drawn by you?"
I nodded.
He rubbed his hands together excitedly, struggled a little, and then made up his mind to say to me, "Okay, I'm going to be the same as Tracy's!"
I nodded again.
In fact, I don't say some things, Senior Benjamin also knows, I took the initiative to help him draw the magic pattern construction not for the magic crystal, but mainly to ask him to help me take care of Leant and Fanny who live in El City.
And Senior Benjamin also readily agreed, and also gave me this promise clearly.
Looking at Tracy, who was toasting with Arendt in the crowd with a wine glass, I exhaled softly and thought: With the help of Senior Benjamin, Arendt's career in the Knights of the Guard Camp will probably be smooth sailing!
......
After the wedding ball, we didn't rush home, but rode in Senior Benjamin's magic caravan to the Three Cats Tavern, and we continued to drink around a wooden table in the corner.
A beautiful young and beautiful waitress in the tavern brought us a large glass of golden cider, and a dozen empty glasses, all piled on the wooden table.
At this time, there were still a lot of people in the tavern, and the whole tavern seemed to be noisy.
Benjamin added some golden cider to his glass and said to us, "I'll tell you a legendary story!"
Actually, at this time, I would prefer to drink a little barley wine with white foam, and preferably a plate of dried fish at this time.
So he beckoned the waitress over and ordered two glasses of ale, and the waitress looked at me with some surprise, as if I had made a very wrong decision to drink barley in the tavern.
I didn't bother with her, and directly listened to Senior Benjamin: "The day before yesterday, the consul of Ravenham City and the head of the Knights of the Guard Battalion came to El City, and they actually came to inquire about a falcon team, which is said to have kept a barbarian brigade out of the pass of Lake Belan, completely blocked the barbarians from sneaking into the mountain road of Ravenham City, and actually blocked the strong attack of two thousand barbarians on their own, not only held on to the pass all night, but also successfully forced back those barbarians. β
Bobby drank a glass of golden cider in one gulp with a round belly, and said in surprise: "My God, which Falcon team dares to stop the barbarians head-on?"
Senior Benjamin showed a wry smile and said, "Those people from Ravenham City don't know either, otherwise they wouldn't have rushed to El City to find that falcon team." β
I wondered how those people had found this place, so I asked Senior Benjamin, "How can they be sure that this Falcon Squad is from El City?"
Senior Benjamin stretched out his hand to push away the messy wine glasses on the table, and then dipped his fingertips in the golden cider on the table with a few strokes to draw a galloping horse, and then drew a continuous mountain range on the south bank of the galloping river, which is regarded as the Antian Mountains, and then marked the city of El in the south of the mountain, drew a valley road of the fault mountain in the south of the city of Eyre, and drew the approximate location of the city of Nato, and then he drew the left and right arm mountains, Lake Beran and Ravenham.
Unexpectedly, Benjamin's memory is very good, and it only took two or three minutes to sketch a map of the western part of Sloit.
He drew a large circle with his hand on the cities of Nato and El and said to us: "Only the cities of Nato and El need to go through the Lake Beran Pass to enter Ravenham. β
Senior Benjamin paused for a moment, and then continued: "Actually, the people in Ravenham City are not sure, they just think that Nato City and El City are the most likely, but at that time, the barbarian brigade bloodied ten towns on the outskirts of Nato City, and the falcons of Nato City either returned to the city to assist in the defense, or chased the barbarians who drove the townspeople back to the ice and snow tundra overnight, and no Falcon team was so strong. β
Noah only understood at this time, and just now Senior Benjamin kept saying 'Belan Lake Pass', so he asked Benjamin: "Is it really Belan Lake Pass?"
Senior Benjamin was very sure of it, "That's right, that's what they said." β
Noah's mouth opened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then did they say that there were two young magicians who braved the cold wind overnight to deliver messages in Ravenham City?"
β...... I'll go!" At this time, Senior Benjamin also realized that that team was very likely to be my Falcon Squad, so he hurriedly asked Noah: "Which Falcon Squad, which blocked the attack of nearly 3,000 barbarians on the pass of Lake Belan, should it be you?"
Noah said with a bitter face and a look of regret: "It's not me, I'm the one who sent the letter." It's Giga and his orc minions fighting the barbarians at the Lake Beran Pass!"
Senior Benjamin got up from his chair with great excitement and said, "I'm going to send a message to the visitors from Ravenham City, telling them that the Falcon team guarding the pass of Lake Beran has been found. β
I grabbed Senior Benjamin and said to him, "I think it's better to forget it! I don't want to be too famous, have you noticed it, the more famous the Falcon Squad has been in the past few years, the easier it is to be killed by the barbarians, and I don't want to be particularly concerned by the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra." β
Scholar Benjamin took three deep breaths, still not calming down from his excitement, and he stared at me and asked, "Giga, how did you do that?"
I tried to say a less important reason: "Well, I bought some bed crossbows at a private auction in the imperial capital......"
Benjamin squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to me, "With all due respect, even if you fill the Lake Beran Pass with crossbows, you may not be able to stop those barbarians. β
It seems that Senior Benjamin has been exposed to this kind of magic equipment in his usual training, and he is no stranger to the function of the bed crossbow, and he does not believe that I can use the bed crossbow to repel the barbarians.
So I pulled out a heavy magic crossbow arrow from my waist bag and placed it on the table with a 'bang'.
I asked him to take a closer look at the magic giant crossbow arrows and asked Benjamin senior, "What if all I use on my bed crossbow are these giant crossbow arrows with magic runes?"
"Are the tips of these giant crossbow arrows really yours?" Senior Benjamin grew his mouth, looked at the tiny magic pattern circle on the tip of the crossbow arrow, touched the undamaged magic crystal on it with his hand, and said to me: "Those visitors to Ravenham City took two of these giant crossbow arrows with magic rune patterns the day before yesterday. β
My gaze fell on it, and I sighed, "This kind of giant crossbow arrow with magic runes is not cheap, it was already very careful when cleaning the battlefield, but unfortunately many of them are not found in the rock wall. β
Senior Benjamin asked me, "You used magic bolts in that battle?"
I nodded, and then said, "In addition to the magic crossbow arrows, we also used two barrels of corpse fire oil to light the giant wooden bridge built by the barbarians at the head of the city. β
Senior Benjamin looked at me with a complicated expression......
