Release that Witch - Chapter 103

[Chapter 102 Honeysuckle and Elk (Part 1)]

After nightfall, the Earl’s mansion was brightly lit, and when Pei Luo, who was holding an invitation letter, was welcomed into the hall by his attendants, the birthday celebration banquet for the third lady of the Earl’s family, Aurelion, had just begun.

One novel ≥≥ <≦≤<<<≤≦﹤≦≦≦≦ Those who

can participate in the banquet are all nobles with family background and reputation in Longsong Fortress. The Earl also attaches great importance to this birthday banquet. It can be seen from the woolen carpets all over the place and the gold-edged clothes on a black background uniformly customized by the attendants.

After all, Aurelion happened to be sixteen years old, and he was old enough to talk about marriage.

The string music was played, and the attendants walked among the crowd with wine and wine glasses. Steaming cooked food was placed on several round tables in the hall, and the protagonist Aurelion, dressed like a canary, was being surrounded by a group of people. The sisters gathered around a corner of the hall and seemed to be chatting happily.

This is the most popular way of banqueting in the royal capital nowadays.

Banquets in the Western Region were not like this before, Pei Luo thought. Everyone usually sat around a long wooden table and waited for the chef to serve the dishes.

It was served in large bowls of pork and whole chicken, on bread with butter, eggs fried on both sides, and large pots of lettuce leaves.

However, for Pei Luo, who also stayed in the capital for several years, this birthday party was just a resemblance.

For example, the wine glasses in the hands of the attendants are glass glasses of different colors, not transparent and clean glasses.

After pouring wine, it is impossible to set off the mellow color of the wine itself.

The round table should be covered with a white cloth instead of exposing the greasy table top.

As for the cooked food, it still maintains the traditional style of the western region – big and thick.

Pei Luo shook his head, at least the chef had to cut it into small pieces before serving it up.

According to the usual practice, he had already filled his stomach at home before coming to the banquet, and he would not use a knife to cut these large pieces of cooked meat at this time.

The invitees who attended the banquet all represented the face of their respective families, eating here was full of greasy food, which was really detrimental to the image.

Pei Luo didn't want to be treated as a joke in the mouths of the girls.

"Long time no see, buddy." Suddenly someone hooked his neck from behind, "I heard that you were appointed as an envoy by the lord again? How is the ore harvest in Border Town? You picked a lot out of it, right?"

This familiar voice, one knew it was Ryan Meade, the second son of the elk family, a fool who wanted to become a knight and didn't even care about the territory.

Of course, he is also my friend, "It's okay," Pei Luo didn't want to talk about what happened in Border Town, "Is it useful for you to go to Cold Wind Ridge this time, or should you stay in Hermes all the time?" Shaking in the tavern?"

"Damn it," Ren pushed Pedro, "I've never heard anything good from you. I didn't even go to the New Holy City this time. The day before the border guards left, I just caught a cold and lay in bed for a whole week."

"That's right, it's a little better than last time, at least it saved the guards a lot of trouble."

"You were wrong this time," Ren suddenly said with a mysterious smile , "If I hadn't been lying on Coldwind Ridge for a week, I'm afraid I'd be lying on the cold walls of the Holy City forever."

"What do you mean?" Pei Luo raised his eyebrows.

"I also heard from others," the second son of the elk whispered close to his ear, "The new holy city almost fell, and the evil beasts rushed into the inner city. If the church hadn't sent their strongest warriors, I'm afraid even the holy city The city cathedral cannot be kept. However, the armies of the four kingdoms have suffered heavy losses, and few people have returned from Cold Wind Ridge. In just one month, the city is full of widows, and the family usually has no savings…" He blinked his eyes , Stretched out two fingers and gestured, "Two silver wolves are enough. Hey, don't look at me like that, I didn't do anything."

"Are you sure the news is true? What about the border guards?"

"Of course, I saw with my own eyes that the lord fell ill the day he received the news." Ren shrugged, "As for the guards… what else can we do? Let's recruit slowly. The northern border is in urgent need of experience now

.

Rich warrior, if my family didn’t call me back, I would at least be able to lead a cavalry team.”

This is not the point at all, Pei Luo thought to himself, the main defense object of the border guards in Coldwind Ridge is the church trial Army, now the generals and soldiers of the four kingdoms are buried together in Hermes, no matter how you look at it, there is a taste of conspiracy.

If they had any plans, the northern part of Graycastle would look like a stripped naked woman, "Where is the Judgment Army, what's their loss?"

"It won't be much better than the Fourth Army. If you think about it, they are always the fanatics who rush to the front. After all, if the Judgment Army doesn't go up, the troops from other countries will definitely not move," he said disdainfully "That gang of knights is like this. They talk about honor, and when it comes to fighting evil beasts, they like to shrink back."

"For example, this one in front of me," Pei Luo smiled, maybe he was thinking too much up.

But even if the church wants to attack the north, it has nothing to do with Longsong Fortress.

Let the new king worry about it.

"Unfortunately, no one has accepted my allegiance, or in other words, I haven't found anyone who has the qualifications." Ren paused and looked towards the door. "The people from Benlang's family are here, I'll go to greet them first." Get off them, and I’ll come back to you later.”

“Go, you don’t need to come back.”

“By the way,” he turned his head after taking two steps, “Did you notice the handkerchief in the invitation letter?”

“You put What?"

"Oh, I'll only tuck you socks that lasted for two days," he shook his finger, "My sister cut them herself, although the age gap between you is a bit big, but as long as you have the intention, I'm sure I've got my hands up for both of you. Don't delay, friend, you're twenty-two."

Pedro rolled his eyes at him, who whistled and walked away smiling.

Taking a glass of wine from the waiter's plate, Pei Luo walked to the corner alone, quietly looking at the bustling hall.

He noticed that while Aurelion and his sisters were talking happily, he would secretly glance at him twice.

At the moment when the four eyes met, he could see the other party's quickly moving gaze and a touch of embarrassment on his cheeks.

Peiluo returned a polite smile.

But in his opinion, the other party is just a little girl.

Suddenly, a heated discussion sounded from one side of the hall, attracting everyone's attention.

"What! How dare he say that?"

"That's right, that coward Koris didn't even dare to fart, and just came back in such a disheveled way." The man with the loudest voice said, "It's a shame for Longsong Fortress!"

Pei Luo knew him, as if It's called Simon Ery, a branch of the Benlang family, married a rather pretty woman.

He had seen that woman before, and she was indeed charming.

"It's as if you have a solution." Someone sneered.

"I may not be able to do it alone, but if the Duke can notice this absurd thing, I don't believe that Roland Wimbledon would dare to act so recklessly!"

Hearing this familiar name, Pei Luo was startled. , suddenly became interested.
