Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 88 Who would read a novel if they were serious?
In order to see off the Mutos, Gaoyabao held a grand bonfire party after nightfall.

This was of course just a remote place in the endless wilderness. There was only a crescent moon overhead, covering the earth. Apart from Gaoyabao, there was no human habitation within a radius of fifty miles.

But now that there are enough people in Gaoya Castle, it has become more lively and bustling.

Whole jungle deer that the soldiers of High Cliff Fort had brought back during the day were put on the grill, roasted by the orange-red flames until beads of fat dripped off them.

The wine sent by Miriel was also corked and poured into the orcs' huge stomachs.

When Levi was grilling the meat, he used chili powder that he had prepared himself. Combined with the crispy outside and tender inside of the grilled meat, people like Bai Ruishitina, who had never eaten spicy food, finally accepted it reluctantly.

In order to express their gratitude to Gaoya Castle for accepting them as their subjects, the people of Feder called dozens of beautiful girls in the tribe and had them dance the most famous tap dance of the former Feder Kingdom around the bonfire in the center.

Dozens of girls held hands and kicked their long white legs like butterflies flying through flowers, making everyone's eyes overwhelmed.

A melodious folk song was sung by the girls' clear voices like lark birds, making people involuntarily immersed in this peaceful time.

Even the big and strong orcs slowed down their movements and savored the taste carefully.

When the girls shyly touched their chests and bowed to end their performance, the lord led the audience in thunderous applause.

"Whenever we celebrate the spring solstice, the people of Feder will put down all their work on this day and dance this dance that has been passed down for hundreds of years around the bonfire when night falls."

Beristina's eyes were filled with nostalgia and her face was full of longing.

"Levi, you know, on this festival, girls will express their love to their loved ones."

In this world, four goddesses rule the four seasons in different periods of time. The Kingdom of Fed used to believe in the goddess of life who guards the spring. Therefore, they attach great importance to the first day of spring and regard it as the most important festival of the year. This day is also given the meaning of revival and a new beginning.

Levi, who has lived here for three years, can be considered half an alien, so he naturally understands it.

"How did the Kingdom of Feder fall?" As a straight man, Levi was more curious about how such a huge kingdom could collapse in an instant.

The end of the Fed Kingdom was so abrupt and easy that it even seemed unreal, as if the towering mountains that stood before them one second had silently turned to the ground the next.

"According to our ancestors, the royal family of Debe suddenly led the Griffin Knights to attack the royal city, and the king was betrayed by his most trusted guard knight. This paralyzed the command center of the Fed Kingdom, and then the country was defeated one by one by the thieves." Beristina recalled, and then added: "These are actually word of mouth, I don't know if they are true."

Her tone was very calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

After all, this is old history from hundreds of years ago, and no matter how deep the hatred is, it will gradually fade away under the power of time.

"I know a little about this. This traitorous knight was later called the 'King Slayer'. He thought he could rise to a high position through this. In fact, no one in power would use a villain who used loyalty as a bargaining chip."

Knight Sikai, who was sent by Bailiu City, slipped over at some point and interrupted.

"Haha, he is the first person to corrupt the spirit of chivalry. People like him are not worthy of being a knight!" He added with a look of disdain.

Originally, Sikai should have stayed with the mercenaries in the caravan, but the mystery surrounding the Lord of High Cliff Castle was so grand that he couldn't help but want to come over to learn more.

Thinking of what he had done to Feng Junlia before, Levi subconsciously touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

It seems that this Knight Skye is a person who strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry, the Lord thought secretly. "What happened next?" Miriel also joined the conversation, holding a glass of heated wine in her hand.

In the light of the fire, her alluring curves were clearly revealed.

Beer, night, bonfire, barbecue, people eating onlookers, bragging and chatting are all the elements gathered together.

"Later... although the rulers would not use a regicide, they would not be stingy with their rewards. In the end, he was granted a fairly fertile knight's territory, and died in depression in his own manor."

Sikai said as he shook his head, it was hard to tell what the expression on his face was, but it was more likely a sigh.

"At that time, no one could understand why he would betray. This knight had always had an excellent reputation during his lifetime. Otherwise, he would not have been appointed as the Knight Commander of the Kingdom by King Feder and own a territory that even the Earl would be ashamed of."

Sikai drank a large glass of wine. "But his betrayal only earned him some money and maids, as well as a territory that was rich but countless times smaller. Haha..."

"Perhaps this king is actually the enemy of this knight, because the young man whose family was destroyed by the king worked hard for many years to climb to a high position, and when he saw the opportunity for revenge, he naturally took action without hesitation."

"After killing my enemy, I lost the meaning of living and died of depression."

“What an inspiring story.”

Levi was guessing wildly.

"Lord Li, you must have read too many folk knight novels." Miriel stroked his forehead and couldn't help complaining.

"Hahaha, just a blind guess, just a blind guess." The lord laughed, and finally emphasized one more sentence in case people didn't believe him, "Anyway, I don't read such immoral novels. Who would read them if they were serious?"

Everyone looked at the lord with suspicion.

Lord Li was a little furious and said viciously: "Believe it or not!"

The bonfire party lasted until late at night, and the excited people gradually became tired. Levi's cheeks turned slightly red. Those orcs who tried to drink with him were all killed by him and returned in defeat. Every one of them was carried back.

You know, in his previous life, in order to deal with the client's father, Levi drank a lot of alcohol. He was known as the little white dragon in wine. He would not get drunk even if he swam a circle in the wine jar.

Not to mention that his physique is no longer human now, and he won’t get drunk even if he drinks it as water.

Among them, Miriel even had the idea of ​​getting him drunk to extract more information, but she ended up being drunk herself and blurted out everything. Fearing that she would reveal something that would not pass muster, the lord quickly arranged for several maids to send her to the guest room of Highcliff Castle to stay temporarily.

Anyway, at this point, Lord Li became famous in one battle and got the entire Gaoya Castle drunk by himself. This record was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life.

"There are two Levi's, hehehe..."

After dealing with the others, only Beristina was left, still hugging her legs with a silly smile on her face.

The lord was somewhat helpless.

"You said you..."
