Chapter 322 The importance of an experienced housekeeper
Next, Narant and Boris's team headed north.
The speed of this journey is not very fast, at least it is slower than the last time I went to Tulip City to attend the grand ceremony. After all, there are many carriages and many people.
Although the road that originally started from Black Rock Territory to Tulip City is not usually deserted, it is definitely not lively and busy either. Often there is no one around for miles.
But this time it was different. As the team moved further north, the road gradually became more lively.
There are also many teams of noble lords on the road, and they are rushing to meet at Tulip City.
Although Nalant is still a little-known knight today, he is not as unknown as he used to be.
When he met these nobles, they all showed kindness towards him.
After Nalant met these nobles, he finally realized that the configuration of troops brought by Boris was not outrageous, but he was more of an outlier.
Because there are at least eight fully armed cavalry in Boris's team, plus forty guards with long swords and armors, although the equipment of twenty of them is somewhat tattered.
But this can be regarded as meeting the minimum requirements of the conscription order according to the law of the nobility of the principality.
But among the nobles he met later, Nalant clearly saw that there were two who were even more outrageous than Boris.
That is, they only have twenty guards equipped with leather armor and long swords. However, in order to meet the minimum requirements of the recruitment order, they actually came up with an imaginative idea, which is to use rattan armor as armor.
For example, a baron named Crowe had thirty guards wearing rattan armor. Moreover, the cane-armored guards had dark faces and thin bodies. It looked like they were poor serfs who had been temporarily recruited as strong men.
Nalant really doubted that they would be blown down by a gust of wind when they entered the battlefield, let alone fight against others.
"Narant, don't be surprised. Baron Crowe is in his forties and has only three daughters. Therefore, he said that he has no lofty ideals now. He just hopes to live longer and enjoy the rest of his time.
!”
"After all, after he dies, it will be his daughter who inherits the title. He doesn't even know which bastard will get the territory and title cheaper in the future!"
"So, Baron Crowe has squandered all the wealth that should be squandered. It will be good if he can leave the title, territory and castle for his daughter to inherit by then!" Boris saw Nalant's strange look and immediately explained in a low voice.
.
"However, Baron Crowe is good in other aspects. He is an intermediate silver knight. I heard that in a battle that year, he killed two enemy junior silver knights by himself!"
"Moreover, he is also quite generous. If he has any good things, he is willing to share them with other noble friends. You will understand in a few days!"
"Yeah!" Nalant nodded after listening to Boris's explanation, understanding that this was probably a self-destructive being.
Don't think that the West no longer has the habit of favoring boys over girls. In fact, it still exists to a greater or lesser extent, especially among the aristocratic class.
Next, Nalant and his party simply moved forward with the other nobles.
In the end, when they were only two days away from Tulip City, their group had gathered more than two thousand people, and the number of noble lords, including Narant, reached nine.
During the day, everyone would move forward slowly with their own teams, and at night they would gather together to offer the various delicacies they had brought and eat and drink together.
It was also at this time that Narant truly understood how important it was to have an experienced butler.
Because other nobles brought enough servants to serve them, as well as all kinds of utensils and food for enjoyment.
If Nalant hadn't brought anything with him, although he wouldn't have been disliked by others on the way, at least he would have felt uncomfortable.
For example, after nightfall that day, all the little nobles gathered again to prepare for dinner.
And just when Narant thought it would be the same as the previous two days, just laying a clean carpet and sitting on the floor, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and speed racing, what happened next made Narant's perspective change.
No guarantee again.
It was the Baron named Crow. Although his team was in tatters, his pursuit of life could really make Narant bow his head and shout: Big Brother.
When a group of nobles stopped, they immediately began to gather.
But at this time, Baron Nacro ordered more than ten male servants to bring a long table.
That's right, it's the kind of luxurious and high-end dining table in the castle restaurant, and it's complete with candlesticks and seats. It's much more domineering than Boris's small round table that can only accommodate three or four people.
"Everyone, there were too few people in the first two days. I don't think this long table will be of any use. However, now that we have nine people, we will definitely need such a long table!" Crowe was quite stunned when Nalant was stunned.
Open your mouth for pride.
Only then did Nalant remember that no wonder he saw an extended version of the carriage in Baron Crowe's team the day before yesterday.
At that time, because it was covered by a tarpaulin, Narant didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it was some kind of war supplies, but he didn't expect it to be a big long table. This guy really didn't mind it.
And with the example set by Baron Crowe, the other barons were naturally not far behind. It seemed that they had anticipated this moment, and they all showed off the 'treasures' they had brought this time to show their appreciation for life.
serious attitude.
First, a baron gave instructions to his personal servant. Within a few minutes, the personal servant brought nine pretty and lovely maids.
These maids have beautiful faces, bulging figures, and their clothes are all made of silk.
Next, another baron gave the same instructions to his men, and not long after, two men and two women were brought over.
The man didn't have any special features, he was just well-dressed, wearing an old silk dress, and he was holding an instrument that looked like a guitar or a pipa in his hand.
On the other hand, the two women were dressed in light veils and had graceful and graceful figures, which immediately made all the nobles swallow their saliva.
Although several other noble lords were not as outstanding as these two, they also got a lot of good wine and food.
Soon, the originally empty wasteland was decorated and turned into a banquet place.
In front of the long table filled with food and wine, the sound of music began to sound, and the two dancers with graceful figures and skimpy clothes also began to dance to the music, twisting and turning towards the crowd.
The nobleman gave me a seductive look.
"It turns out...this is war!"
Nalant's outlook on life was elevated again.
It is shameful to say that as a modern man, although he had seen many luxurious life scenes of the upper class showing off their wealth on the Internet in his previous life, now he was far behind the aristocratic natives of this world in terms of enjoyment, and even their exhaust fumes
Can't even eat it.
"! Haha! Come on everyone, let's start enjoying! Only in autumn every year can I sit in the wild and share the joy with you without any restraint!"
"Baron Crowe, you are wrong about this. Didn't you enjoy a beach party on Sir Nalant's territory last time?" At this time, a noble immediately retorted with a smile.
"Haha! Yes, look at my memory. However, there were many noble ladies that time, especially Miss Stella. We didn't dare to be like this now, so we must not get drunk this time!"
"Okay! Haha! Let's see who falls first today!" Another noble agreed, looked at his nine graceful maids and said immediately, "What are you still waiting for? Start quickly.
Serve some adults!"
"Yes, sir!"
Next, the atmosphere on the long table was immediately heightened by the delicious food and beauties.
Even Nalant had a pretty pleasant maid beside him to serve him.
Soon, with the service of the maid, the wine glasses in front of several lords were filled one after another.
"Hey, Sir Narant, why don't you drink?" Just when the nobles were about to raise their wine glasses to clink, Baron Crowe discovered that Narant's wine glass was still empty.
