Chapter 171. The beginning of the athletic convention
"Woohoo."
It was still dark, and there was a knock at the door.
Kant woke up immediately.
Turning his head slightly, he noticed that someone was standing right outside the door.
He didn't answer, but waited a few seconds before asking, "I'm here, what's the matter?" ”
The person outside spoke, and it was a delicate female voice: "Dear Baron Kant, Baron Dylan has asked me to send you clothes, clothes for banquets and athletic meetings, I hope it still fits, if it doesn't fit, I will immediately go and ask the tailors to modify it." ”
"Hmm." Kant nodded, but did not get up on the bed: "I see." ”
Deal with it casually, just like a pampered aristocratic young master.
Kant's voice, though flat, was equally impatient with an early riser: "Let Manid deal with it, he should know my figure, and if it's not time for breakfast, remember not to disturb me." ”
"Yes, honorable Baron Kant." The delicate voice outside the door quickly replied.
At the same time, there was the sound of the door opening.
The Salander riders in the adjacent room came out, menacing.
The owner of the delicate voice was so frightened that he let out an "ah", and he knew that she was a weak girl who had never seen anything in the market, let alone experienced such a fright.
But Manid's voice rang out, too: "Stand down." ”
"Yes." The Salander rider answered in a deep voice, then closed the door again.
Next, Manid comforted: "You are the new maid, I didn't see you last time, come with me, don't disturb Lord Kant's sleep, you came early." ”
"Hold... I'm sorry..."The delicate female voice replied in a trembling voice.
Conversations and footsteps fade away.
Kant closed his eyes, a mocking smile on his lips, but he pursed them in an instant.
It's really like sleeping on your side again.
It's a beauty trick again.
This kind of temptation really made him feel too pediatric.
But if you think about it, you also know that since ancient times, what can impress men is nothing more than beauty, wealth, and power.
From the lion castle in the Lion Principality, he has come into contact with a lot.
The experience of his previous life made his heart as bright as a beacon.
Own the system.
There is a sense of crisis in my heart.
These little tricks are the same as laugh-inducing jokes.
Kant naturally would not be fooled.
After closing his eyes and meditating for nearly half an hour, there was a knock on the door again, and Manid's voice came from outside: "Lord Kant, it's almost breakfast time, if you wake up, we will go to the lord's hall in 30 minutes and have breakfast with Baron Dylan and his vassal knights." ”
"I see." Kant's languid voice responded.
Manid also spoke, "This is your dress, which Baron Dylan gave you to wear at the banquet." ”
"Well, Uncle Dylan has a heart." Kant nodded, he lifted the velvet silky quilt, sat down on the bed in his pajamas, and said to Manid, "Come in, put my clothes on the table." ”
The door was pushed open.
Manid entered, also dressed in a well-fitting gentleman's garment, and holding in his hand two more ornate garments, which seemed to be made of velvet, fine linen, and wool.
Kant took it and put it on his body.
The aristocratic costume common in the Duchy of Lion, red and blue.
"It fits perfectly." Manid complimented, "Lord Kant, you look quite heroic. ”
"I love that word." Kant nodded and chuckled.
After a little washing, he walked out of the room directly, and the 10 Salander riders outside were also ready, waiting in line.
And Kant said to Manid: "Lead the way, let's go to the lord's hall, we must not let Uncle Dylan go first, after all, I am a junior, and it is respectful to go there in advance." ”
"You're right." Manid nodded and led the way ahead.
Soon arrived in the hall.
However, there were already vassal knights who had already arrived first.
Groups of three or five formed small circles with each other, talking excitedly.
The topic did not leave the athletic convention.
Seeing Kant coming, they also bowed their heads and saluted, but when they looked at the Salander riders who followed Kant, their eyes were even hotter, and they felt like they had seen their lifelong opponents, eager to fight in the hall, knock each other to the ground, and show their heroic side.
"Ahem."
A soft cough appeared, followed by Baron Dylan into the hall.
The vassal knights hurriedly saluted.
Baron Dylan nodded, but looked at Kant with a smile on his face: "Xiaodde, this dress fits well, it looks great, it's much more handsome than when I was 16 years old." ”
"You're overrated." Kant hurriedly bowed his head gratefully, and the attitude of the junior was very sufficient: "It's all your help, I left the Lion Castle..." His tone was a little low and angry: "My previous costumes have been required to be kept, except for a limited number of pieces, there are almost no clothes that can be worn at banquets and athletic meetings!" ”
"Don't talk about that, it's all in the past." Baron Dylan had a bit of pride in his eyes, didn't he just want to show wooing and friendliness when he gave Kant?
Baron Dylan sneered in his heart, especially looking at Kant's young face.
Something throbbed in his heart.
This son of Princess Sophia is actually the outcast of the Silver Plate Kingdom, if he can take advantage of the situation to reconnect with those forces lurking in the secret, and even after reaching a high position, he will directly replace him and become the spokesperson of the Silver Plate Kingdom in the Lion Principality, plus the help of the salt trade, he may not be able to go further.
"Let's start breakfast, wait for the banquet at noon, and the athletic meeting in the afternoon, it will definitely be more lively."
Baron Dylan's face was silent.
still has a bright smile, and he also stretched out his hand to Kant to make a gesture of invitation, looking very free: "This is the greatest etiquette I can welcome you, we are all the closest people, and we are also close neighbors, and we should be more intimate in the future." ”
"You're right, Uncle Dylan." Kant smiled, incomparably brighter.
Breakfast officially began.
But even this breakfast has been prepared like a banquet.
The candlesticks are full of candles.
Although it was daytime, the dim fortress building could not shine in the light, and could only use auxiliary means to make the hall shine brighter and brighter, becoming like daylight outside, and at the same time, the large number of candlesticks, as well as a large number of burning candles, also represented the wealth and strength of the lord, and could better reflect the dignity of the nobles.
Baron Dylan, who has a large amount of silver coming in, will not be as stingy as he used to be.
Breakfast ended quickly.
Invite Kant into the reception room to chat.
The servants took the opportunity to hang a large number of banners made of velvet, on which were the coat of arms of Baron Dylan, composed of a sword and a shield, representing that he was a baron who had been promoted only after his military exploits, and was a symbol of force.
However, this flag can only be proudly hung in the remote North County.
If it is directly under the South Gun.
Those flowers, the flags representing the hundred-year-old and thousand-year-old family, can be even more gorgeous.
Similar to this simple sword and shield flag, they are embarrassed to hang out.
But in the barren North County, the banner of the barons can already be called noble, whether it is a martial nobleman or a court nobleman, it must show its glory and strength in front of those merchants and landlords.
Arrive before noon.
The halls of the lords have been decorated with velvet and various handicrafts.
The long table was also replaced with a new tablecloth.
It was made of the finest linen cloth, and was filled with finely made silver cutlery, which sparkled in the light of the inferior beeswax candles on the menorah, and dazzled the gentlemen and celebrities who came.
Although he is a gentleman and celebrity, he is limited to North County.
Compared to the real rich people in South County, they are still a lot worse.
What's more, when they saw so many silver cutlery, they all swallowed and foamed in their hearts, if they didn't know that this was the official residence of Baron Dylan, who was brutal and known for his tyranny, and the people invited were all locals, they would definitely steal and take a silver knife and fork or a small bowl or two.
This is common at grand banquets and athletic conventions, where no one can remain indifferent to the luxury of silver.
This represents a ready-made silver coin!
Midday.
The banquet took place as scheduled, and the celebrities and gentlemen of the Solid Stone Pass laughed and talked in the lord's hall.
The appearance of joy.
But most people are absent-minded about it.
For the athletic meeting held in the afternoon, it is they who are most concerned.
And the vassal knights were also talking to each other, eating the food on the table, but chewing in their mouths as if there was no taste, especially looking at the Salander riders standing in the corner, forming their own group, they were even more impatient.
Finally, the time is almost up.
A crisp bell rings.
The chubby butler had a festive face, stood in the center and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet was held successfully, and Baron Dylan wants to announce something next, please be quiet!" ”
Everyone in the lord's hall immediately looked at the high platform in the middle.
And Baron Dylan walked up.
Warm applause suddenly rang out, and everyone looked at him eagerly.
"Thank you all for coming to this banquet."
With a smile on Baron Dylan's face, the demeanor of the noble baron was unmistakable: "To welcome my dear nephew, Lord of the Naren Desert, Baron Kant, there will be a competitive meeting at the Solid Stone Pass in the afternoon, all can participate, and the top three, I will give away 100 large silver coins, 50 large silver coins, and 20 large silver coins!" ”
"Hmm!" There was an exclamation from below.
But one by one, the eyes were even brighter.
Especially those vassal knights, their breathing was a little shorter.
They are the gentlemen and celebrities of the North County though.
Not to mention 100 large silver coins, even if it is 20 large silver coins, that is money that they can't earn in a year!
Think about the beginning, the 20 personal guards cavalry from Nanjun were willing to sell their lives for 20 large silver coins, although it was also related to Kant letting go of the last drinking water, but the value of 20 large silver coins was also undoubtedly revealed.
You must know that in this world, the low-class poor are still in the stage of bartering.
If you can trade it for small silver coins, at least you are a wealthy freeman.
And the big silver coin is the transaction currency between the lord and the lord, the big merchant and the big landlord, ordinary civilians, it is estimated that they have never seen this kind of big silver coin in their lives, and it is impossible to have it!
