Chapter 410: Hunting club

The latest website: Silvermoon City.

Crystal River.

Hundreds of tents, stables, and carriages turned a vast meadow into a giant camp. In addition to the half-elf nobles and their servants, there were tens of thousands of civilians who came to watch the hunting party.

Nobles in costumes, soldiers in shiny mail, horses in gold and silver, cheerful people, children running around the ground, bards in strange costumes, jugglers performing hard, mercenaries in rude manners, loudly The shouting vendors and countless flags fluttering in the wind formed a vivid and wonderful picture.

The annual hunting festival is a large-scale festival unique to the half-elves, and it is also a rare entertainment celebration.

Of course, high-ranking knights like Colin would definitely not participate in hunting, after all, no matter how fierce beasts are in front of him, they are not qualified prey.

The main participants of the hunting club are low-level professionals and apprentices.

After the hunting meeting, there will be a contest.

In fact, the hunting party is just an appetizer, and the competition is the dinner.

In the contest, there will be truly high-level professionals participating. They will show their strength and courage in front of the Queen and win their own honor.

The winners of the annual competition will receive awards personally awarded by the half-elf queen-swords, armors, steeds, and even knighthoods.

Before this year's competition, there was a rumor that the rewards of this competition would be unprecedentedly rich, and there would even be a large number of knighthood awards.

The half-elves are convinced of this, because in the previous rebellion, the half-elf aristocratic circle suffered a great purge, and a large number of vacancies for titles and official positions were created and needed to be filled.

Therefore, Queen Aisha is very likely to use the opportunity of this tournament to select fresh blood and cultivate upstarts who are loyal to her.

With such anticipation, this year's hunting event has become unprecedentedly grand.

Almost all half-elf aristocrats, even families that have been deprived of their title, such as the Rutte family in Clover City, have sent their knights to Silvermoon City, hoping that someone from them can stand out, be appreciated by the Queen, and be revitalized. Family glory.

When Colin and Queen Aisha came to the observatory, there was already a sea of ​​people around the venue. The ceremonial officer recited the names of Queen Aisha and Earl Anglia aloud in a peculiar tone, announcing their arrival.

Queen Aisha generously took Colin's arm, and the half-elf maid Cathy behind her embraced Silver and boarded the main seat of the observatory together.

The half-elf nobles along the way got up to greet Queen Aisha and Count Anglia. Aisha and Colin had impeccable elegant smiles on their faces, and nodded in response.

Even in such a public place, Queen Aisha actually acted like a gentle and beautiful wife, accompanied by her husband.

Perhaps it was because everyone felt that his relationship with Colin was already well known, so there was no need to conceal it. Moreover, no one in the current half-elf kingdom dared to challenge Aisha's authority.

What's more, with the purity of Silver's Phoenix blood, even if she is an illegitimate daughter, no one would say that she is not qualified to be a half-elf crown prince.

Woo-

With the sound of the trombone, the team returning from hunting gradually appeared on the edge of the forest not far away, galloping toward the observatory.

"Teacher! Teacher! My brother really hunted a brown bear!"

Before reaching the stage, Colin heard Princess Judy's yelling, even the rumble of horse hooves could not be covered.

"Really!" Colin stood up and smiled at the returning hunting team.

Prince Harrison took the lead, and of course rushed to the forefront of the team. When approaching the viewing platform, he skillfully restrained the horse's rein, slowed down and jumped off the horse's back, and followed his inertia a few steps forward. Just stopped in front of the stage, bowed and saluted:

"Yes, teacher! Please allow me to dedicate this honor to you!"

It stands to reason that today's prey should be dedicated to Queen Aisha, but after all, Prince Harrison has a special status and is not a vassal of the half-elf queen. No one dares to say that he is rude.

Colin glanced at the huge brown bear corpse that was pulled over by the flatbed truck, and he was really surprised.

Thinking about his predecessor at Harrison's age, it seems that he didn't have the ability to hunt an adult brown bear independently. It seems that his talent as a student is really good.

"Very good!" Colin nodded with a smile and praised.

Prince Harrison raised his head with a smug smile on his face.

Princess Judy also rode the pony to the front of the stage at this time, yelling: "Teacher, what about our reward?"

Colin raised his brows and asked, "What reward do you want?"

Before Prince Harrison spoke, Princess Judy yelled: "I want Bella!"

As he spoke, he raised the rein in Yang's hand, indicating that "Bella" was the little pony she was riding just now.

The little pony scratched the ground with its paws impatiently, apparently not yet completely subdued by Princess Judy.

This pony is the property of the half-elf royal family, but it's just a pony, and Colin nodded with a smile without even asking Aisha.

"Of course it can. It's an honor for it. But you have to let your servant feed it carefully. This Miss Bella doesn't seem to have a good temper."

"I will feed Bella myself!" Princess Judy put her arms around the pony's neck, and her little snow-white hand scratched the horse's neck affectionately, as if it was scratched to the itch, the pony made a comfortable grunt.

Princess Judy chuckled suddenly.

Colin looked at her naive appearance and laughed, then turned to look at Prince Harrison and asked: "Harrison, what reward do you want?"

Prince Harrison hesitated, glanced at the viewing platform, and then immediately retracted, saying: "Teacher, your approval is the best reward for me."

Colin didn't need to look back to know that it was his half-elf maid Cathy that Prince Harrison had just stole a glance.

But fortunately, he was still a little measured, and didn't dare to ask Colinsoo for Cathy on such an occasion.

Afterwards, Colin returned to his seat and asked the remaining half-elf nobles to offer their prey to Queen Aisha.

When the gift was finished, the long horn sounded again through the viewing platform.

Two knights riding high war horses slowly stepped onto the arena, and the much-anticipated competition officially kicked off.

At the same time, an attendant walked quickly to Colin and reported:

"Your Majesty, Lord Earl, the Eastern Border Envoy is asking to see you outside."

Colin smiled faintly, and said: "It's just right, please come and enjoy this martial arts competition together."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Fei Feijue was led by the attendant to the viewing platform.

"Master Earl, Your Majesty Queen!"

Fei Jiejue respectfully saluted his master.

Colin retracted his gaze from the competition arena, and said with a smile: "Fei Feijie, you have been working hard all the way, it is better to watch the competition first."

"Okay." Fei Jijue nodded in response, but did not take a seat, but continued, "Your Majesty, we East Territory have also prepared a great gift for the winners of this competitionAi Queen Shah was taken aback for a moment, then squinted to look at the young Viscount of the East, and said lightly:

"Fei Jijue, you are interested, but half-elf subjects don't need to be rewarded by the East."

It stands to reason that the host has clearly refused, and the guests should also retreat.

But Fei Jiejue clapped his hands and asked the servants behind him to hold out a knight sword, and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, this is just a little bit of caution from the East."

Colin didn't care, but when he saw the knight sword, he clenched his fist instantly.

Because, he recognized the knight sword--

It is the sword of the Marquis Garcia!
