The knights who had been tired for a day, including Balistan, were very happy to hear that Gao Xianda had arranged a residence for them.

And they were so excited that Roger Hogg was going to hold a dinner in the tower castle to welcome them.

Of course, wearing heavy armor to attend a dinner is not a very polite thing, and heavy armor itself also affects their actions.

For Gao Xianda, changing clothes is just a matter of changing the appearance, which takes a few seconds, but for these ordinary NPCs, it is more difficult.

Although they were knights, they had no inheritance rights. They were all guards, but they were a little more advanced and had no money to support servants. So they had to run to the hotel and help each other take off their armor.

When they were out, they did not prepare too exquisite dresses, so they could only wear whatever they wanted, so they followed Gao Xianda and the others to the tower castle to meet the sow horn knight.

Roger Hogg was very excited when he met the legendary Balistan.

The old knight was fine. After all, he arrived early and had plenty of time to change into appropriate clothes. But his face was also covered with the fatigue of a long journey.

As for the twenty knights behind him, the sweat smell on his body had not taken off, and he was dressed very casually. The sweat was covered with dust, and he was basically a clay man.

Against their backdrop, Gao Xianda wore a dark green dress with Dong Xie standing beside her with flowers in her clothes. Even as a girl, her appearance was clean and neat.

Therefore, the difference in grace is reflected in one go.

The chef's skills in the tower castle may not be much better than those in the city hotels below, but this time Roger also made a lot of local foods, with a strong juicy flavor, but it is better than the real price.

Roger also prepared several barrels of sunset red from the midsummer archipelago, second only to the golden wine produced by Qingting Island.

The Hundred Flowers Knight comes from Gaoting. The Redwin family on Qingting Island is their vassal, so Loras should theoretically be a master of wine tasting. But now the person who plays Loras is Dong Xie.

Although Dong Xie also knows a lot about red wine, the sunset red of the midsummer archipelago is also a top-quality wine, and he can't find any shortcomings.

As the food was put on the table one by one, Roger arranged the bards and dancers also appeared on the stage one after another.

There is a singer who calls himself "Silver Tongue" who wrote a new song that praises the story of King Robert defeating Prince Rega of Targaryen in the Trident River.

Because during the day, the news that Duke Lanli visited the sow horn has spread, so the bards all know that Gao Xianda is coming. Lanli is the king's younger brother, and they take it for granted that they want to sing the king to glorify Gao Xianda.

But Gao Xianda has never seen Robert's face so far. So although the melody of this song is pretty good, he didn't feel anything special after listening to it.

But Balistan's face was not particularly good-looking.

He was the Imperial Guard who was once the former king, Mad King Elis II, and his relationship with Rega is quite good.

During Robert's rebellion, he had been firmly standing on Rega's side, and even fought against Robert's army many times.

Until the end, he was exhausted and captured by soldiers and released by Robert himself. After Rega's death, he understood that the situation was hopeless and was infected by Robert's charm, so he agreed to surrender to Robert.

But he still has a deep affection for Rega.

After hearing this song, Balistan naturally felt uncomfortable.

He stood up with a calm face and showed to Roger that he was old and uncomfortable, so he was going back to the hotel to rest.

As the host, Roger naturally felt very embarrassed.

He quickly tried to keep Balistan, and then ordered people to pull down the "Silver Tongue" who sang the praises and exchanged for a new bard.

Gao Xianda was also helping to speak nice things, and then Balistan stayed.

The new bard has seen how the "Silver Tongue" was scolded and has not even received a silver coin.

So he quickly changed his routine and swallowed the songs he had previously composed to praise Robert.

He knew that Balistan was an important guest, so he played a song praising the loyalty and glory of the Royal Guards, hoping to flatter Balistan.

As the pride of the Royal Guard, Balistan soon recovered when he heard the singer's singing and even drank a large glass of wine.

However, the part of the singer's repetition of the chorus is about brotherhood.

Balistan couldn't help but think of the captain "White Bull" Jero Haital who fought with him, "Dawn Sword" Arthur Dawn, Prince Levin Martel, Sir Osville He'an and so on...

But they are all dead now.

Some of them died in battle with Rayche on the banks of the Trident River, while others were killed by Ed Stark and his men under the Tower of Bliss.

The glory of the past is gone forever.

Balistan thought of the group of trash he works with again.

Except for James Lannister's two moves, everyone else is really useless!

Just yesterday, Alex and Preston lost to a woman in a fair duel!

This is really a shame for the Royal Guards! Balistan dared not even think about it.

And who is James Lannister? The Kingslayer!

A guy who betrayed his vow and assassinated the king he swore to protect!

They are all shameful to the Imperial Guards!

Moreover, these greedy and fearful death-threatening guys are no longer the kings and honors, but gold, the queen's family and the shining gold in the hands of the Lannister family.

Balistan felt even more depressed.

Balistan also drank too much and couldn't help but burst into tears for a moment.

Roger can't even beside him.

Why do you still cry when you listen to music?

He is just a wealthy knight who doesn't even have a title. How dare he offend the captain of the Royal Guard who is guarding the king every day?

He was already doing his best to lick the old knight, but he even licked and cried...

Roger looked at Gao Xianda with a melancholy face, hoping to get Gao Xianda's help.

"Sir Renli..." he said softly.

"It has nothing to do with you, don't be afraid." Gao Xianda said, "But you take down all these singers, aren't there any dancers..."

After hearing this, Roger quickly reacted and drove the singer down.

So a group of dancers in simple clothes came out and contributed a hot dance performance.

Balistan is an imperial guard and vows not to marry for life. Moreover, he is indeed old, and if he sees too much of this kind, his heart will not be able to bear it.

So he finally couldn't help it, and stood up again and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, it's too late, I'm still going back."
