45 Banquet
Entering the towering tower, Samwell couldn't help but look around with curious eyes.
The walls made of dark boulders give people a heavy feeling, with traces of countless years settling in them. Perhaps every small crack may hide a story that has long been forgotten.
Seeing this, Belle said with a smile: "Everyone who comes here for the first time will find it novel, but if you live here for decades, you will only feel depressed and bored. Hey, if it weren't for the fact that I only have younger brothers and no older brothers, I'm afraid
I left here a long time ago and wandered around the world."
Samwell stroked the dark and smooth wall and asked:
"Was this really built more than 10,000 years ago?"
Belle laughed loudly and said:
"It's not that early! Although the Hightower family did come to settle here in the Dawn Era tens of thousands of years ago, our castle was still a wooden tower at that time, only fifty feet high. Later, several more were built.
The tallest towers, until the fifth tower, is the towering tower now."
"The builder was Brandon Stark the Builder?" Samwell thought of the relevant records he had read in the original novel.
"Yes." Belle nodded and suddenly said with some yearning, "It is said that he also built the Great Wall of Despair, which is an even more magnificent building. I really want to see it."
"And Storm's End." At this time, a clear voice came from behind everyone.
Samwell turned around and saw a beautiful young man coming down the stairs.
Yes, beautiful.
For the first time, Samwell felt that there was nothing wrong with using this word to describe a man.
Her flowing brown curly hair, charming golden eyes, and handsome face are enough to make any woman fall for her, even some men are no exception.
Seeing everyone's gaze, the beautiful young man on the stairs smiled slightly and continued:
"Lord Renly told me that Storm's End is also the work of Brandon the Builder. No matter what kind of storm, no storm can shake it."
"Loras, come quickly." Margaery waved to the young man on the stairs, "This is the pioneer knight I told you, Samwell Caesar."
Loras walked down the steps, nodded to Samwell, and said:
"I am Loras Tyrell, the third son of the Duke of Highgarden. Nice to meet you, Ser Caesar."
"It's an honor to meet you, Ser Loras." Samwell nodded in return, suddenly realizing that this was the "Knight of Flowers", and he truly lived up to his reputation.
I just don’t know how he could appear in Old Town?
Did Samwell remember that Loras was supposed to be a squire to Renly Baratheon, the Duke of Storm's End?
Not sure if he saw Samwell's doubts, Loras explained:
"Lord Renly is here too and is talking to the earl and mother above."
Renly is here too?
Samwell was slightly startled, and then a greater doubt arose in his heart——
What is Renly doing here? House Hightower and House Baratheon are not related.
He immediately realized that Margaery and her mother came to the Tower to visit relatives.
There are too many coincidences, and it is difficult for people to believe that they are coincidences.
While Samwell was thinking wildly, Loras said again:
"You are completely different from what I imagined, Sir Caesar. I heard that you have opened up a territory in the Crimson Mountains? And you have subdued tens of thousands of savages?"
"Yes, thanks to the blessings of the Seven Gods."
"The Seven Gods will only protect brave and pious knights." Loras smiled, "I have heard some bad rumors about you before, but now it seems that those are vicious and untrue slanders. No wonder Lan
Master Li always said, don’t trust your ears, trust your eyes.”
"Thank you for your compliment." Samwell also flattered you, "I have long heard that you are a skilled knight, especially good at using a spear."
"I learned all my spear skills from Lord Renly. He is a better knight than me, and a wise lord. By the way, I haven't seen the wildlings yet. Ser Caesar, can you tell me
Shall I talk about them? How did they fight? What weapons did they use?"
"Of course, their weapons are very crude..."
Samwell snickered in his heart as he told the story.
This Loras is really an upright boy, but a little too upright, and he doesn't hide his thoughts at all - he always says "Lord Renly". It's no wonder that the scandal about this pair of good friends has spread throughout the aristocratic circles.
Several people were walking and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After not knowing how many floors he had climbed, Sir Baelor stopped and pointed to the room in front of him and said to Samwell:
"Sir Caesar, this is the room arranged for you. Your entourage's room is also next to it. Please take a short rest first. The dinner will be held at six o'clock. A servant will come to inform you then."
"Okay, Ser Baelor, thank you for your hospitality. Ser Loras, Miss Margaery, we will see you later."
"see you later."
After entering the room, Samwell took a shower first, and then went to bed to rest. It was not until the maid knocked on the door that he got up and changed his clothes slowly.
After going out, Samwell did not rush to the banquet hall, but waited for Todd Flowers and Cheeman to finish cleaning up before going to the banquet together.
There was no way, the lesson he learned in Yangwu City last time left Samwell with a psychological shadow. Although he knew that Earl Leyton was unlikely to be as eager to marry his daughter as Viscount Brandon, he never dared to be alone with someone else again.
The maid left.
What if it's some other trap?
Boys should protect themselves when they go out.
The three of them followed the maid to the banquet hall.
The floor of the hall is paved with purple paulownia wood that can reflect human figures. This kind of wood has a tight texture and rich luster. It is an excellent material for making furniture. However, such valuable purple paulownia wood is just a floor here.
Seven carved white jade pillars support the dome of the hall. More than a dozen mighty armored warriors stand motionless around the hall holding long spears. The slim and beautiful maids carry the plates of delicacies to the long dining table with light steps.
.
The dinner was a buffet style, but unfortunately few guests stayed at the long table filled with fine wines and delicacies. Even if they took some, they would only taste them briefly, otherwise it would be rude.
The guests were divided into two groups. The charming ladies were dressed up and sat on the left side of the hall, laughing like silver bells from time to time. On the right side of the hall, well-dressed gentlemen gathered, chatting in twos and threes.
The candlelit hall, luxurious and elegant decorations, courteous waiters, charming maids, and countless delicacies outline a scene of a night banquet for a noble family.
Although Todd was an illegitimate child, he was also born into a noble family like Redwyne and had served in Highgarden for many years. He was not too nervous when seeing such a scene, but he just couldn't help but straighten his collar. And the bumpkin
Qi Man had never seen such a big scene before, and his body movements became extremely stiff.
