After an unknown amount of time, Dick woke up contentedly, squinting his eyes and looking out the window:

Is it dark already? I didn't expect I slept so long.

Dick got off the bed and found himself wearing clean and tidy Lynx-style demon hunter armor.

"Did the maid change it for me? How come I remember that this armor was taken for repair by Coby and his men? How come it was repaired so quickly?"

Without thinking much, Dick pushed open the door, and the maid from before was quietly waiting outside the door.

"Master Dick, did you rest well?" the maid asked.

"Very well. By the way," Dick lowered his head and pointed at his own armor, "Did you change it for me?"

The maid nodded hurriedly.

Dick suddenly realized that it was really the maid who helped him change his armor.

It seems that he was too tired in the previous battle to defend the city.

Even the sharp senses of the demon hunter did not work, and he did not notice that someone entered his room while he was sleeping.

"What time is it now?" the demon hunter asked again.

"Master Dick, it's almost 8 o'clock in the evening. Master Coby and the others are waiting for you to come down and attend the celebration banquet."

"It's already this time. It seems that I am really tired. Then please lead the way."

As the maid slowly walked to the stairs, Dick followed behind.

A moment later, Dick came to the living room on the first floor.

Coby had already sat in the middle seat of the long table. The table was full of various delicious dishes, drinks and fresh fruits.

The people sitting closest to Coby were all Dick's acquaintances-Captain Fisher, the great jeweler Val and the dwarf blacksmith Zeus;

Of course, there were some people he didn't know, wearing gorgeous clothes and elegant temperament.

And next to the great jeweler Val sat a group of people Dick had met once-the eight strong men who participated in defending the city.

Dick frowned:

I remember that when I entered the city gate before, the residents next to me were helping to deal with the battlefield in the city.

And the bodies of those strong men seemed to be carried away by the villagers. Why are they still sitting here?

Is it because I am too tired and my eyes are blurry?

"Dick, you are here." Coby turned his head to look at the demon hunter with joy, and then he pointed to the seat closest to him:

"As the biggest contributor to this battle to defend the city, you can sit here."

Dick was not polite and sat down directly.

And then Coby introduced Dick: "You also know our big jeweler and master blacksmith.

"As for those people you think are unfamiliar, they are merchants from Odinburg who donated supplies to us when we defended the city this time."

"Hello, Master Dick."

"Master Dick, you are so amazing."

...

The compliments from the merchants continued.

Dick hurriedly responded perfunctorily. He really couldn't stand this kind of false courtesy. With a fake smile on his face, he felt his cheeks stiff.

Fortunately, Coby seemed to see this and hurriedly clapped his hands and said: "Then let's start the official celebration banquet now."

After that, Coby stood up and raised his glass, "This glass, I toast to you all. "

The others stood up and raised their glasses on the table.

"I toast to you all for your efforts to protect our common home."

After that, Coby drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and Dick also raised his glass to taste it.

Feeling the bitter taste in the wine, Dick couldn't help but pursed his lips:

"Hmm, sour wine."

"Dick, how does this wine taste?" The big jeweler Val smiled, "I asked someone to buy it from the Bacchus Empire before, and it has been treasured for several years. You really caught up with the right time."

Although Dick didn't know how it tasted, he nodded and said, "It tastes good, I like it very much."

Hearing this, the big jeweler looked even more proud.

Then Coby motioned everyone to sit down and spoke again: "Of course, we also have many brave soldiers who bravely and fearlessly died heroically on the battlefield.

"For this, I have great respect for them, and I also promised those soldiers that if they unfortunately died in battle, their families would receive a pension.

"I will now pay the pension, please come and witness this."

After saying that, he clapped his hands.

Two soldiers dragged a huge bag and walked in at the gate of the castle.

At the same time, a middle-aged woman with red eyes followed.

Kerby took out a piece of paper from his bosom and began to read the name on it: "Mark, 26 years old, served in Odinburg for 11 years.

"Unfortunately, he was killed by the monster when the evil spirit of Yu Gato attacked the city... He is a native of Odinburg.

"I hereby declare that his family will receive a pension of 200 crowns."

Then the soldier carrying the bag took out a bag of coins from the bag and put it on the table, and Kerby opened the purse to show it to everyone, and said solemnly: "There are exactly 200 crowns here."

Kerby handed the money to the woman again: "Aunt Mark, please accept my condolences. "

Aunt Mark wiped the tears from her eyes, and nodded without saying anything. She bowed deeply to Coby, took the coins, and turned to leave the castle.

Then Coby kept reading the names on the list, and the people around him looked solemn and stopped drinking.

After nearly half an hour, Coby distributed almost all the coins in his bag.

Then he took back the paper: "Everyone, now I will reward the greatest contributor to the defense of Odinburg this time. "

"Demon Hunter Dick!" Coby said solemnly.

"I'm here."

"You have made great contributions in defending Odinburg, and now I will reward you."

After that, he looked at the soldier holding the bag, and the soldier took out a wooden box from the bottom of the bag.

Coby took it and handed it to Dick.

"This is my reward for you, please keep it."

Dick immediately took the small wooden box, opened it and was dazzled by the golden light inside.

There are 50 crowns neatly arranged inside - 50 gold crowns!

You know, one gold crown can be about 50 to 100 silver crowns, which is what people usually call crowns.

In this way, Coby's reward is generous.

Gold is valuable in any era and any world.

"Thank you."

Dick took it and put the crowns into his waist bag one by one.

"By the way, Dick, I actually have an extra reward. I want to confer you an extra title on behalf of my father - [Dick of Odinburg]."

The demon hunter was surprised. The queen had just conferred this title on him before - Dick of Ravenstern.

It's not that the more titles of this kind, the better, because the title is unique. If someone has already conferred a certain title on you, if you accept the title conferred on you by someone else, it is an insult to the person who conferred the title before.

Dick couldn't figure it out. Coby's move was insulting Queen Maeve.

According to Coby's character, he shouldn't do such a reckless thing.

Does Coby still not know that I was conferred a title by the queen?

Secondly, the person who conferred the title must be of a respected status. In other words, the nobles generally have to reach at least the duke.

Dick raised his eyebrows: "Coby, Queen Maeve has already conferred me a title, I can't accept it again, otherwise it would be disrespectful to her."

Coby smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I forgot about it.
