When the Golden Knights entered the town of Laika, the suspension bridge was retracted, the city gates were closed, heavy armored cavalry blocked the corridors leading in and out of the city, and the crossbowmen on the city walls were ready to go.
"Huh?" Leah frowned when she saw this scene.
This move happened to be caught by the mayor, who quickly explained: "Your Royal Highness, don't be surprised. The town of Laika is located at the northernmost point of the Monti Kingdom. It has been invaded by orcs all year round. Even in the daytime, it does not dare to open the city gate easily.
"
"Your Highness, you are tired from the journey. I have ordered people to prepare meals and shelter for you. Please come with me."
The mayor, leaning on a cane with a broken leg, respectfully walked in front to lead the way.
Even though she felt a little weird, Leah didn't take it too seriously. Even a small mayor would not dare to mess with the noble Monti royal family.
If something unexpected happens, the twenty elite knights behind them are not vegetarians. If left alone, they can kill the entire town of Laika.
Along the way, we encountered some dilapidated scenes. The air was often filled with a pungent rotten smell. The dilapidated wooden houses and thatched houses were the residences of the local poor. The adults were skeletal and slumped at the door, and the children were
They were all rolling and playing in the mud.
"This is so ridiculous. I can't believe this is actually part of Monty's kingdom?"
Leah couldn't believe her eyes. Under the rule of the Monty Kingdom, there could be such a poor town?
"Your Highness, the residents of Laika Town make a living by collecting herbs and raising mulberry trees all year round. They are also often invaded by orcs, so life is not easy. This is normal." The guarding knight beside him quickly explained.
"When I go back, I will ask my father to exempt Laika Town from taxes for three years..."
"We're here, Your Highness Leah!" The mayor's words brought Leah back to reality.
When she turned around, what she saw was a splendid palace, majestic, reaching into the sky, about twenty or thirty meters high. There were two golden sphinxes standing at the door, looking at the passers-by.
Bare your teeth and dance your claws to show off your power.
This is in sharp contrast to the poverty and failure of the small town of Laika.
"This palace is really impressive. It's a hundred times more glorious than my palace."
"This little broken town made Her Royal Highness laugh. The banquet has been prepared. Please come with me!"
But Leah did not follow the mayor into the palace. She rode a white horse and walked towards the side door. Two skinny little kids were sneaking behind the wall.
"What are you two doing hiding here?"
When the two children saw Leah, they panicked and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Please forgive us for our crime. We are really hungry and want to pick up a few leftover bones to go home and make soup."
"Where did this wild child come from? If you dare to disturb Her Highness the Princess, drag me out and beat you up." Mayor Laika was furious.
"Didn't you prepare the banquet? Let them go in and dine with us."
"How is this possible? Your Highness, you are a noble member of the royal family, but they are untouchables and slaves, and they are not worthy of sitting at the same table with us."
Mayor Laika looked shocked at Princess Leia's words. As a noble, he cherished his reputation very much, and he had never seen anyone willing to dine with a slave, let alone the noble Monti royal family.
"You dare to object to what I say?" Liya raised her eyebrows slightly, a look of displeasure flashed across her cold and pretty face.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the town will just obey its orders."
The banquet was held as scheduled, and Leah and the Golden Knights took their seats. The long table was filled with all kinds of food and fine wine. From beginning to end, there were six to seven hundred plates, all kinds of delicacies, and there were no duplicates.
"You drink first!" The guard knight filled a glass of wine and handed it to the mayor.
After seeing that the mayor was fine after drinking, he dared to fill up the wine and handed it to Princess Leia respectfully. However, Princess Leia always looked solemn. She did not move her chopsticks, and everyone present could only stare.
After a while, she suddenly said: "Where is Chen Feng?"
"Your Highness, are you talking about that weird oriental man? He is tied up in the stable right now."
"Bring him here and dine with me."
Chen Feng, who was locked up in the stable at this time, was holding a handful of damp horse feed in both hands, chewing with difficulty: "I miss you Chen Feng, a top student in science and engineering. I also know a lot about astronomy, geography, and the Five Elements of China."
With a history of thousands of years of civilization, we are now in a situation where we are competing with livestock for food.
Heaven, earth, please give me a full meal, I am willing to give twenty years of good fortune in exchange."
It’s really hard to think about it. When I just crossed over, I faced the wilderness to survive. I was chased by striped tigers, orcs, and wolves. I almost died. I finally met a princess. I thought I had climbed to a high branch, but I never thought
But he became her slave.
"Hey, Oriental, Her Royal Highness the Princess invites you to the palace for dinner." The guard knight opened the chain.
"Meal?"
Chen Feng's eyes widened and he waved his hands quickly: "Oh my God, I was just talking nonsense. You old man, please don't be as knowledgeable as me."
"Chen Feng, sit next to me"
"Okay, princess!" Seeing the table full of food, Chen Feng couldn't care less, so he grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth.
This rude eating gesture not only dumbfounded the members of the Knights, but even the two poor children put down the food in their hands and stared at him the whole time.
“It’s okay for poor people to eat at the table, but how can slaves eat with their masters?”
Mayor Laika sighed and muttered to himself: "Her Royal Highness, the most noble princess of the Monty royal family, doesn't even understand the basic hierarchy. So what does it matter if her father is a king? If her mother is a pariah, the daughter born will be treated the same way.
He is a pariah, and he has a pariah mentality to his core."
Just in the middle of the banquet, the two children suddenly hugged their stomachs with their hands, foamed at the mouth, and then fell unconscious.
"Dead, probably food poisoning!"
After a brief inspection, the guard knight pulled out his sword and placed it on the mayor's neck. "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Food poisoning?"
Hearing this, Chen Feng's face turned green, and the food he had just swallowed was taken out again, "My life is really hard. I finally had a full meal, but it ended up being a meal for my head."
"I come from the Carroll family, and I am a noble whose bloodline is second only to Monty. You, a little sword-wielding knight, are not qualified to kill me. I advise you to put your sword away." Mayor Laika revealed a hint of light in his eyes.
A playful smile.
Then the members of the Knights fell to the ground one after another. The cause of death was similar to that of the two children. They both died suddenly of foaming at the mouth.
In an instant, there were only two guard knights left on the field, and Princess Leia and Chen Feng were not affected.
"Is there poison in the wine?" Leah picked up the wine glass.
"No, there is no poison in the wine, and there is no poison in the food, but if the two are consumed together, it will be highly poisonous." Mayor Laika explained.
"Damn, you scared me to death." Chen Feng broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was too hungry just now and only grabbed food and didn't touch the wine, otherwise he would be a cold corpse now.
The stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. Chen Feng grabbed a roast goose in front of him and continued to eat it.
Fill your stomach first, and then think of ways to solve the problem.
