061: Celebration, Knight
The first half of the banquet is not much different from the ordinary aristocratic dinners. Drinking, eating meat, listening to music and so on. What is really interesting is the cake sharing session that everyone present is most looking forward to.
The world is full of money for profit, and Campbell is born and dies. Why is it to lick blood from the edge of the knife? Isn’t it just for the benefit, right?
After three rounds of wine, with Campbell's order, the reward was pulled onto a stage built with wooden shelves in advance, amid the whistle and drum noise of the men.
Campbell, who walked onto the stage, kicked the box over with a crisp sound. With the sound of gold coins flowing out like water, covering the entire stage. Under the illumination of the candlestick flame, the shaking person couldn't open his eyes.
Campbell shouted: "Gold coin!"
"gold!"
"gold!"
"gold!"
Men slapped the table and knocked the bench.
Then, a large group of hundreds of women were led into the venue. They were all young and beautiful, with fat and thin swans. What made people even more bloody was that they were naked and had a hemp rope tied to their necks. They were led and pulled onto the stage covered with gold coins like livestock.
Campbell shouted: "Woman!"
"woman!"
"woman!"
"woman!"
The men whistled, and the sound of slapping the table became even more intense.
Finally, dozens of people came in bustlingly, including men and women, adults and children. They were dressed in exquisite dresses and looked no different from the nobles present. After entering, they were arranged to sit at a table near the stage.
Campbell shouted: "Peace!"
"Peace!"
"Peace!"
"Peace!"
The men's expressions of slapping the table became even more fanatical.
Magra, who was sitting next to Heath, said sarcastically: "What you shout is peace, but what you think of is power."
With Bamke's defeat and death and the entire army of his team was wiped out, the entire Gaoping land had no capital to compete for power. Not long afterwards, Bamke's cousin came to the White Valley Fortress with two large boxes of gold coins and hundreds of women to show his loyalty to Campbell.
Also coming were the remaining aristocratic forces in Gaopingdi, that is, the dozens of people who were shouting for peace. They would sign various treaties with Campbell, or simply form a new family with Campbell's subordinates.
Gold coins, women, power, this is the reward today.
Magra continued: "They were the ones who fought the most fiercely with the Mavega people, and they were also the ones who learned the most bad habits from pirates. Everyone thought they had driven away the Mavega people, but in fact they had been deeply rooted in it for a long time."
The dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon?
Heath looked over there. Although he had been in Brittany for a while, such a scene still had a great impact on him with modern people's values. And it was because of him that these women were led here to stand on the stage like livestock, which inevitably made him feel a little guilty.
But if you think about it carefully, does he really need to be responsible for this?
Even without him, there will still be a winner. The defeated party will pay the money, wife, daughter, and people. It is natural for this to be here. Either Bamke or Campbell, he cannot change it without him.
After all, this is a backward and barbaric place under the human rights thinking. To change it alone is not enough. It requires a powerful force with advanced civilization and a mature social system of its own.
The brilliance of the sea of trees.
Of course, the brilliance of the tree sea is not a utopia of Vadasili, but compared with the place where life is like a mustard of grass, it has been a kind of progress. Helping the brilliance of the tree sea through all obstacles to seize the rule here and eliminate bad habits, then you can help the world in disguise?
Comforting himself like this, the inexplicable guilt that arose in Heath's heart quickly subsided.
"Ci doesn't control the soldiers. Since he chose to kill, there is nothing to feel guilty about!"
Shaking his head, he waved his distracting thoughts out of his mind.
At the same time, the rewards above have also begun.
Campbell casually pulled a young girl with red eyes, grabbed a handful of gold coins and sprinkled it on the girl's body. The gold coins rolled over the girl's plump ** with the jingling sound, slid across the girl's fair body, and fell into her weak jade feet.
The exciting scenes make people feel bloody and the atmosphere in the entire hall reached its peak.
Campbell shouted, "Heath!"
Heath was stunned.
The crowd gathered their sights.
Campbell said straight to the point: "You can choose whatever you want!"
People's eyes are intriguing.
The first time I accepted the reward at the celebration dinner was not only because of my achievements, but more importantly, it also showed Campbell's attitude.
Heath hesitated for a moment.
Facing everyone's eyes, he picked up the oak cup on the table: "Select."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.
Campbell couldn't give him what he needed, nor did he need him to give him.
The hall was silent.
Baron Barrow frowned slightly.
Only Campbell's eyes shone, he laughed and said, "Okay! Good choice!"
After a pause, he continued, "But this is not a prize!"
After saying that, his eyes swept over the girls on the stage and pulled out two of them, with chestnut hair, 15 or 6 years old, tender as if it was about to drip out of water. Even if it was among these young girls, his appearance was still particularly eye-catching.
He pointed at Heath and said to the two girls, "This is your new master!"
The two girls, like puppets carrying threads, quickly walked to Heath to sit down, and called out the master sensibly, as if they were not two living people, but moving dolls.
Only the occasional panic flashing in their eyes shows their human nature.
In the hall, everyone looked at Heath, and people stopped slapped the table, knocked on the chair, stopped cheering, stopped excitedly and stopped drinking.
Everyone just looked at him quietly, and the needle fell to him.
Heath hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
No matter whether he wants these things, they will always be sent to him. Being alone will only make things more troublesome. There are still many empty rooms in the villa, so the two girls will take them back.
"Crack!"
"Roar!"
The crackling sound of slapping the tables sounded, and the hall became lively again.
Reward continues.
Soon, Campbell called out a few more people's names, and they were the four knights trained by Heath: "Bell, Rom, Ike, and Rapp."
The four young men were stunned for a moment and quickly looked at Heath.
Heath said: "Go, it should be yours."
In the battle with Bamke's army, all the four of Bell performed extremely bravely. With the blood power activated by Heath, they were invincible on the battlefield. Even if they were able to defeat Bamke's army so quickly, they made great contributions.
Bell and the other four walked forward.
Campbell pointed to the girls next to him and said, "It's your turn, choose the one you like!"
The young guys who had never seen the world suddenly became at a loss. They glanced at the girl in front of them, and then looked at Heath behind them. Their eyes were filled with various emotions such as tension, excitement, fear, and helplessness, which looked extremely complicated.
Amid the men's laughter, each of the four still received a girl, but this was just the appetizer for this award.
"Clang!" The sound of metal intertwining sounded.
Just after the girl's assignment was over, Campbell suddenly drew out the cross sword again.
He said to the four people: "Kneel down."
The noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
The sudden sound of swords shocked the young men and their expressions became nervous, but soon, Bell, as the illegitimate son of the noble, seemed to realize something. His expression was stunned at first, and then his face suddenly turned red.
He knelt in front of Campbell with a "slap!" and called his companions: "Hurry, kneel down! Give the title! Give the title!"
When the word that had been heard in the storybook appeared, the young men reacted, surprised, excited, and incredible, and all kinds of complex expressions filled everyone's face again, as if they were losing consciousness, but they knelt in front of Campbell under the guidance of some unknown force.
Campbell gently patted the boys on the shoulders with the back of his sword, and said seriously: "In the witness of the old and new gods, I, Campbell Alrow Grafton, conferred these four young warriors as knights in the name of the Lord of the Wastelands."
"Faced with a strong enemy, be fearless! Be brave and loyal, and be worthy of heaven and earth! Be honest and honorable, and do not violate the truth! Protect the weak and do not violate the laws of heaven!"
"This is your oath, remembered in your heart, and not violate it. It will accompany you for life and be one with your soul and flesh, and will be supervised by it whenever you do anything in the future."
"From today, we will not stop until death!"
The four of Bells were excited and their faces were flushed and speechless.
The knight, on this land, can be said to be the dream of all men throughout their lives. He means respect, glory and wealth, sword, armor and BMW, identity and status, and—
that power!
