Chapter 598: Celebration (Part 1)
The north is cold and northerners like to drink. Therefore, the wine culture derived from this has a long history and is not much different from the vast history of the north.
In the cold north, toasting people means not only toasting a glass of wine or two, but the saying here is so big.
Toasting a glass of wine shows friendship. Generally, both parties who drink are friends of close friends. Toasting a glass of wine is a celebration after sharing weal and woe, and it is also a relationship between peers.
Toasting three glasses of wine is a kind of respect for people in the customs of the northern country.
The toast party is used to express respect and gratitude to the one being toasted. Its meaning is definitely not something that can be explained by simply drinking.
"Mr. Romon, please sit down." The owner of Harvey said with a serious look on his right hand.
Looking at the table that the other party pointed to, it was arranged in the front table in the store, Romon had no choice but to sit over.
"I, Harvey, thank you Lord Romon for your help, and I wish you three glasses of wine. From then on, Lord Romon is my eternal friend of my family. No matter what happens Lord Romon, as long as I greet you, I Harvey will be obliged. As long as I can do it, no matter what it is, I will not refuse. With the righteousness of the God of Ice and Snow, I swear." After saying this, Harvey respectfully honored Romon with three glasses of wine. Romon knew a little bit about the customs of the North and knew that if he did not accept the wine toast by the other party, his good friends might become enemies in a blink of an eye, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it one by one.
"Josh, come here." At this time, the owner of Harvey called Josh who had been standing by the side again and said to his daughter: "Thank you Lord Romon."
"Yes, father." Josh nodded and responded.
"Miss Josh, don't drink alcohol, your wounds will heal..." Romon wanted to stop him.
However, Josh served Romon as his father said just now. Romon had no choice but to take it and continue to drink all the three glasses of wine.
After Romon finished the six glasses of wine, the atmosphere on the scene became relaxed in an instant from the beginning.
"Okay, everyone can drink it all the time. Beer is free today!" As soon as the owner of Harvey finished speaking, cheers rang out in the store: "Also, Josh, you have only healed your injuries, go back and rest!"
At this time, he showed his father's love.
Josh nodded, glanced at Romon, and went inside to rest.
People were drinking beer in big mouthfuls, and many people came to toast Romon. Romon knew that this celebration was a form of gratitude for the owner of Harvey. Although he smiled bitterly, he refused everyone.
He himself has average alcohol tolerance, but for a druid, it is too easy to cheat.
Although the wine in the North is very strong and the concentration is very high, Lomon will not get drunk even if he cheats.
After the celebration was over, Romon sat next to the window of the hotel, looking at the sky that was starting to become dark again, and was silently ecstatic.
"What is Lord Romon doing?"
"Let's be in a daze, can we go and play with him?"
A group of children living in the store stood curiously at the door, observing Romon's expression. Several of them discussed it and made the decision to go over and play with Romon.
"If Lord Romon wants to stay quiet for a while, you are not allowed to quarrel with him. Just ask once, do you know?" The guy said to the child in a low voice while cleaning the shop.
"Don't worry, we know." For a moment, the children who were still laughing just now fell silent. Several of them, as representatives, ran to Romon with curiosity on their faces.
Seeing that several children ran to him, Romon looked at them with some surprise and asked, "Are you little guys, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Romon, now you have become a big shot. Will you still build snowmen for us?" a child asked in a low voice.
Romon couldn't help laughing. "Of course, I'm still me, the same as before, no different."
"They all said that you saved a lot of people. You are a senior druid. Is this true?" another child asked curiously.
Romon poked his hand and rubbed their heads. "I am a druid, but not a high-level druid!"
"Hehe, then, can you accompany us to build a snowman now?" The child immediately asked. The other children looked at Romon with eager eyes, waiting for his response.
Romon nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you to build a snowman."
I was a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the store, and Romon was so happy to accompany these children to go out for fun.
The direct consequence of his departure was that he led to the participation of other adults.
Finally, a group of people started to play in the snow.
Adults and children, have a party together.
The game of playfulness lasted for a long time. In the evening, the sun began to gradually move westward. Although there was snow on the ground and the reflected light was still bright, it still could not stop the light from fading.
Finally, the sun and the moon alternate, and night comes.
"Who is Lord Romon?" A carriage arrived at the door of Harvey Hotel at supper.
A brightly dressed man walked down from the car, wearing expensive boots and fur clothes on his body, which kept emitting soft light under the silver moonlight.
Judging from the carriage he was riding in, this person's identity is definitely not simple.
In this world with strict hierarchy, there are very strict regulations. Unless it possesses the title of aristocratic, its owner will be judged if it is too ornately decorated.
The gorgeousness of the carriage is not only proportional to the wealth of the carriage owner, but also proportional to the title of the carriage owner. The more gorgeous the carriage is, the more noble its owner has.
The carriage is four white horses in front of it. The body is much wider than that of ordinary carriages. The wood is made of the best fragrant wood. A long distance away, a comfortable fragrance spreads. Although you can't see what the carriage looks like, the gorgeous inlays at the windows and the expensive tassels at the curtains all show the identity of the owner of the carriage.
Hearing someone calling Romon, the owner of Harvey walked out of it.
"I am the owner of this store, and Lord Romon lives there. Who are you?"
"I am the Queen's messenger and come to visit Lord Romon." Although the other party was a nobleman, he was well-educated. He was quite polite when facing a civilian like the owner of Harvey.
"Female, Her Majesty's envoy?" When he heard this, the owner of Harvey was surprised and hurried back to the store, wanting to invite Romon out. In his opinion, His Majesty personally sent an envoy to visit. What a glory it is!
"Shop owner, wait." The visitor said quickly: "I'll just go over and see him."
As he said that, he stepped into the hotel.
"I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way." The owner of Harvey hurriedly said.
He walked in front, and the messenger followed behind. The two walked in, went upstairs, and kept in the inner room on the second floor, and stopped.
"Mr. Romon lives in this room," said the owner Harvey.
"Thank you, the shop owner, I'll do it. You can go and do it." The messenger nodded and said.
Since the other party had already spoken, the owner Harvey had to go down.
In the corridor upstairs, there was only the well-dressed messenger standing in front of a door and hesitating for a moment.
"Guests outside, please come in." At this moment, a male voice came from inside. The messenger didn't have to hesitate and pushed open the door and walked in.
"You are Lord Romon?" the messenger was about the same age as Romon, he said.
"I am Romon, are you?" Romon looked at the visitor with a smile, and at the same time, observing the visitor's words and deeds and clothes. Well, I guess they came from a big place. People have temperament and their clothes are also very good. They are all expensive and tasteful.
"Hello, Lord Romon, I am the envoy of Her Majesty the Queen. I am here to deliver the invitation to Lord Romon. Since you are Lord Romon, please keep this invitation." As he said that, the envoy carefully took out a very small and exquisite wooden box from his arms and respectfully handed it to Romon.
"Her Majesty the Queen?" Romon was stunned, but still looked respectful, and also used both hands to pick up the box.
There was a fire-lacquered seal on it. In front of the messenger, Romon carefully opened the box and took out the golden invitation inside.
When I opened it, I found that it not only contained the words of inviting Romon to meet the queen three days later, but also had a seal of a queen. It proved that the invitation was true and valid.
"Mr. Romon, this is a one-time palace pass. Please keep it. Her Majesty the Queen will summon you in the palace here in three days. What will be arranged in detail? Someone will notify you separately." Seeing that Romon had finished reading the invitation, he handed over another object. When Romon saw that it was an identity note.
There is a seal of the palace on it, indicating that this can be passed through the palace once at a specific time.
The above is very clear about the time you can use and the identity of the person you come here. Even if you are accidentally lost, you will not make any mistakes if you pick it up.
"Okay, please report back to Her Majesty the Queen, it is my honor to be able to pay homage to Her Majesty the Queen, and I will go there on time." After Romon took the thing, he replied politely.
Romon's respectful attitude made the messenger very satisfied. He smiled and said, "Mr. Romon, I will tell Her Majesty the Queen truthfully."
He briefly explained some things that needed to be prepared, and the messenger said goodbye and left.
Romon sent the other party out of the store and kept watching him get into the gorgeous carriage. The carriage was far away, then he turned around and went back.
