Heart of the Castle

Chapter 193 The troubles of young Li Wei

The calamity didn't seem to have any impact on this sumptuous lunch. Behind the appetizer soup was the steaming barbecue. The cook's technique seemed to be poor, and the barbecue seemed a little overcooked.Fortunately, the amount is large, with a large piece of black bread and thickly sliced ​​sausages, which is basically enough for a knight to eat.According to Master Sujiad's special instructions, what was placed in front of the hungry emissary was a half-foot-long sausage that didn't look like it had been cut with a single knife.

The envoy impatiently grabbed the sausage and took a bite. The strong taste of cinnamon and pepper filled his mouth, so he exclaimed in surprise and took another big bite.

"If you can have a glass of ale or something similar to moisten your throat, this meal can really entertain His Majesty the King." After wolfing down half a sausage, the envoy exhaled a long breath and said contentedly.

"Ale? That's not true. During the days when the disaster came, all the food was used to fill the stomach, and not a single grain of oats was allowed to be used for brewing." Wilps raised a finger and shook it.

"You're right." The messenger nodded resentfully, then grabbed a ceramic bowl full of appetizing soup, and used it instead of wine to deliver what was in his mouth.

Preoccupied, Li Wei broke off a piece of bread and put it in his mouth to chew, but he didn't swallow it for a long time.In fact, he didn't know what he was eating at all. The young man's thoughts were completely occupied by the message brought by the messenger.

There is no doubt that Li Wei should be awarded the highest merit for ending the evil disaster in the territory. This is not only Li Wei's own idea, but also the consensus of all knights in this territory.Whether it is annihilating the Demon Slave Knights, rescuing the Mining Pit Village, or a bloody battle against the Demon Lord, or a surprise attack on the Demon Lair, any of the above feats will make a knight proud, and Li Wei has accomplished all these feats. It can be compiled into poetry, and let the bard perform it in the tavern.

If Li Wei has the qualifications of a knight now, it is hard to imagine what kind of price the kingdom will have to pay to be worthy of the merits of rewarding young people.Even if Li Wei was granted the Rhineland Viscounty, which had lost its lord, it was not too surprising.

But unfortunately, although Li Wei already possesses the power of fighting spirit seeds and the qualifications to become a knight, he has not yet had time to go to the Knights Association for qualification certification.In this case, although Knight Ston's family name should belong to Levi according to the regulations, and Knight Martin also designated Levi as his heir, but strictly speaking, Levi is not a knight, but a person who has the qualifications to be promoted to a knight. That's all.

In this case, on the one hand, His Majesty the King will not simply take back his order, and on the other hand, the kingdom will have a reason to lower the price of rewarding Li Wei for his meritorious service. One can imagine what the result will be if this information is known to the envoy. .

Li Wei couldn't help laughing bitterly. He took a bite of the barbecue, and it felt dry and astringent in his mouth. "I'm full, you can do whatever you want." He stood up and walked towards the meeting room.

All the knights except Dragunson put down their knives and forks, and their worried eyes followed Li Wei's back until the door of the conference room was closed again, completely blocking his figure.

"Well, why is Master Li Wei gone? Isn't today's main course suitable for his taste?" Dragoonsun, who had been buried in the battle with the barbecue, raised his head until everyone looked away, asking inexplicably.

Regarding his question, all the knights could only show helpless expressions.Master Sugard said long ago that if Dragunson could devote half of his energy to studying, eating, drinking and fighting, he would have become the wisest person in the territory.

Li Wei's footsteps hurried and loudly stepped across the corridor of the Viscount's castle, with a sense of resentment.People who saw him along the way bowed to pay tribute. The young man resisted the burning feeling in his heart, nodded in response, and left at a faster pace.

The four spearmen were in charge of guarding the gate of the main building of the castle. Seeing Li Wei walking quickly, they turned and pushed the gate at the same time. The heavy iron-inlaid wooden door burst open, and the bright sunlight outside suddenly shone, dispelling all the shadows. Come.Levy went from sunlight to shadow, through arches and walls, and back into sunlight again.

As far as the eye can see, there is a wide plain in front of the Viscount Castle. A lot of cultivated land has been reclaimed here. The tenant farmers and servants of the Ryan family have managed the cultivated land in an orderly manner. When it was most prosperous, the food crops grown here alone were enough to supply The needs of all in the castle.But after the catastrophe came, all of this came to naught. Even if the crops did not wither due to neglect, they were crushed to pieces under the iron hooves of the demon army's siege time and time again.The few surviving plants did not get enough sunlight, and their growth was very poor, almost like weeds.

Li Wei walked along the devastated land, and the cold and fresh air rushed towards him, gradually extinguishing the burning flame in his chest. "It's nothing without a reward." He thought, "Anyway, I didn't go through life and death for the reward. Being able to save the people on this land from the devil is the greatest reward for me."

Thinking of this, Li Wei felt much better. Just at this moment, there was a clear cry from behind. The young man looked back and saw a golden and white light falling from the air with strong wind.

The Griffin King landed on the ground, his strong limbs bent slightly, and he let go of the impact from the sky. A mass of colorful fur jumped off his back, and threw himself into Li Wei's arms like a phantom.

"Meow..." Big Lynx Mengmeng called out sadly, expressing dissatisfaction with not being able to participate in the raid on the devil's lair.

Li Wei stroked the fluffy head of the bobcat with a smile, and said softly to it: "It's okay, I've already figured it out. It doesn't matter how much His Majesty's reward is, anyway, Sir Martin Knight left me quite a lot , plus the inheritance I inherited from Sir Ston Knight, it is enough for me to build a knight fortress."

Mengmeng let out a somewhat puzzled meow, and tilted his head to think about it. It was obviously torture for a big lynx to think about such a problem, but the Griffin King was much smarter. He nodded majestically, and then spread his wings Make a loud cry.

After figuring this out, Li Wei's mood cleared up, but what followed was a gurgling sound from his stomach.Li Wei couldn't eat the lunch just now, and the few mouthfuls of bread and barbecue he barely ate had already been digested.

"Should I find something to eat?" Li Wei murmured to himself, the smell of pepper sausage left in his mouth not only did not make him less hungry, but aroused the young man's appetite even more.If you return to the meeting room, the lunch may not be over yet, even if it is over, you can ask the servant to bring another one, but Li Wei just walked out on the excuse that he was full, so it feels very embarrassing to do so.

Aware of the problem Li Wei was considering from the consciousness connection, the Griffin King shook his white feathers and asked in Li Wei's mind: "Pig?"

Then, for Li Wei, a very appetizing scene emerged—a bloody pig was disemboweled, and the Griffin King stepped on it to feast on it.

"No, thank you..." Li Wei replied with a wry smile.

"Little guy, come to the heart of the castle. The wine and food for celebration have been prepared here." The voice of the old magician appeared, which made Li Wei feel refreshed.

"Mr. Dish, has the Heart of the Castle been restored?"

"Of course, come in quickly, now it's your turn to repair the object."
