The Banquet of Hanni's Family

  The Harnett household apparently hadn't yet acquired the dignity of nobility, a large table made of rough-hewn planks still bearing splinters.

  The main food at the banquet was pork, a pig was killed and then roasted, guests could take knives to share the meat, there was wine but not of good quality, women received some roasted biscuits as special food.

  The soldiers outside brought out all the game and also sent up some white bread and butter.

  It's actually quite simple, but all the participants feel satisfied, and at this difficult moment, such a banquet is already very good, even Nadya Derick thinks it's okay.

  After dinner, Fang Xin began to give each person present a small gift. The servant received some old clothes, his wife Egges got some gold and jewelry, Isadore Haggety got a golden cup, and even Hannah's children got two toys, which were two well-carved wooden puppets, instantly making the two children cheer up and run to kiss their father.

  "Where did this come from? The carving is really good!" Isadore Haggerty's mood was still okay, he keenly felt the bright power in the statue and asked.

  "What I obtained from the manor is just suitable for the kids!" Fang Xin said, in fact, the merits should not be divided into light and dark energy attributes, but it was easy to transform into a bright power, this wooden puppet originally had black air, one thread was enough to polarize it.

  "It's really a great thing, for many years now, I haven't seen such exquisite carving skills." Isador Haggerty sighed and said that the war has caused all kinds of entertainment craftsmanship to basically disappear, and now it is rare to see this kind of woodcarving artisan.

  After everyone had enough wine and food, Fang Xin led them to the large open space in front of the manor. This place was originally a fairly large empty space, but now it was bustling with people, seemingly transformed into a market.

  "Lord Nedi, our gains this time are all here. Why don't we take stock? I think the weapons and food should be divided into three parts each, while the people should be split in half. What do you say?"

  Neddy Derrick originally came to get these things, and he wanted to get half of them. If not, a third would be fine too. However, he didn't expect Fang Xin to be so generous, without any haggling or hesitation, and just smiled and said: "Very fair, you can allocate them as you like."

  At this point, the statistics have also come out.

  "Sir James, you take a complete set of intermediate dark knight armor, a war horse, and then take a silver cup, fifty pounds of flour, how about that?" Fang Xin asked.

  Nedry Drek took a deep breath, the Dark Knights' armor was of high quality, this set of mid-level knight equipment alone was worth a farm, it could be said that this was the most valuable thing, however, both Dark Knights were killed by Fang Xin, according to the rules, this completely belonged to Fang Xin.

  "Thank you very much, sir!" James exclaimed, his face flushed with excitement.

  "Pamol, Badec, come here." It was Harnett's two knight attendants who were shouting.

  "Sir, we await your orders." The two stepped forward quickly.

  "Pamool, Badak, you have shown enough bravery and loyalty in battle. Now, are you willing to become a part of my family without any reservations?" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present understood what was meant, and a stir arose.

  The two of them almost fainted in unison, and after a moment, they replied in unison: "I'm willing!"

  Then, both of them placed their hands in the hands of Fang Xin, symbolizing that they were entrusting their lives to him. Then, both of them half-knelt down and swore: "I swear with my integrity, from now on I will be loyal to Sir Hanni Te Adin Likoque, fulfill all my duties as a knight, and never deceive."

  He drew his sword, touched the shoulders of both, and said: "I dub you knights, in the name of Sir Hannibal Lecter, hereditary knight. I give you coats of mail, and war horses!"

  Originally, Fang Xin had two sets of knight armor. Now he has obtained two more sets. Except for one set that was given to James as a reward, now each person has one set. Of course, Fang Xin took the best set for himself, which belonged to the high-ranking Dark Knight.

  "Is there also Karra and Jomli, who bravely sacrificed in the battle? Are his family members here?" By the time this was said, there were already women sobbing in the crowd.

  "In the hall, sir, please give orders." However, they were two men around fifty years old. These were their parents, who in this world were already considered elderly. They had clearly been soldiers before and, despite their grief, stepped forward saying.

  "I, Sir Hanniett Edin Lycok, in the name of hereditary knighthood, thank you two for your sacrifice. Now, I will grant each of your families a piece of land and elevate them to freemen. Moreover, you can choose two sheep, two pigs, and 200 pounds of flour each!"

  "Thank you very much, sir!" The two fathers heard this and burst into tears.

  At this time, Egge stepped forward and led them to choose. Not much time had passed when the selection was completed. At this time, the two fathers stepped forward and said: "Our family still has a son who can serve the lord."

  "Alright, but you're too young, be a servant in my house first!" Fang Xin looked at the two young men, both of whom were around 14 or 15 years old and clearly his younger brothers, still with an air of innocence about them.

  Perhaps it was the soft spot in his heart, Fang Xin immediately agreed, but he had no intention of letting them go to war and become knight attendants. That would be a meaningless sacrifice!

  "Here are the rewards for the meritorious soldiers!" This matter was quite troublesome, and by the time the soldiers had each received their rations or weapons, it was already around two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

  At this time, one-third of the property had been divided, and Egs carefully divided the remaining half into two piles.

  The captured sheep, Nedi Drick said no more, after all, the Likoq family still has a lot of sheep, and Fang Xin's new territory is also indispensable for sheep.

  However, thirty-one cows and twenty horses were taken away, fifteen cows and ten horses, which is a huge fortune.

  After obtaining this wealth, Nedi Derick laughed and said: "Your territory has too few people, I'll just take a few away, the rest will be left to you!"

  In fact, for the Liko Ke family, there were already many people in their territory, and it was difficult to accommodate more.

  Fang Xin was overjoyed, for him, the population was the most important thing. So, out of the 1,200 captives, Nedi Derrick took away about fifty strong men and fifty relatively young and beautiful women, and this division was settled.

  "Ai Jie Xi, this time you stay behind, now it's the end of April, although a bit late, but still can be sown and cultivated. You bring all the cows up, can plow and plant wheat and rye, as well as fruit trees. After planting is done, then dig ditches, clear nearby shrubs, build houses for these people, all this needs to be done by you." Fang Xin said.

  Eggs was indeed a bit disappointed, but this matter at hand was indeed the most important. She said immediately: "Hannit, you just rest assured, these things will be handled by me, and also, your clothes, I have all prepared, put them on before going!"

  Looking at her busy and haggard face, Fang Xing Sheng felt a thread of love and appreciation. He nodded slightly, said nothing, and went inside. Not much time had passed before he came out again, dressed in a knight's attire made from the finest materials, with a pair of shiny leather boots, an extravagant cloak, and a fine sword by his side. As he emerged, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

  Hannit's physical appearance was not handsome, but that kind of stability, introversion and nobility almost shaped his outer self, making him full of charm.
