Chapter 77: Lively (Please Collect and Recommend)

Since Arthur recovered, the whole Camelot has entered a peaceful period. The war has gone away from them, the monsters have been eliminated, and the civilians are ready for winter. Although Camelot is not peaceful this year, at least they have overcome all difficulties, and the autumn harvest is also a bumper harvest. In addition, the victory in the war has led to Camelot receiving generous war compensation, which has given many soldiers' families enough money to spend this winter.

So although the weather is getting colder, the city is getting more and more lively.

Camelot will also usher in a grand event, the Knights' Conference!

The triennial Knights' Conference is finally going to be held again. Every Knights' Conference will be held before the New Year, and this year's conference is no exception. Because there are particularly many knights who signed up for this Knights' Conference, the opening was chosen to be December 15th, and then after 15 days of competition, a champion knight will be produced.

When the Knights' Conference was over, it was the Celtic New Year's Eve (December 31st), which was also the Celtic New Year. This was the most important festival for the Celts. On this day, people would celebrate all day, and the bell at midnight would mean the beginning of the new year. In Kai's opinion, this festival was similar to the Spring Festival in his previous life. They were all celebrating the New Year, and the name of New Year's Eve was not made up by Kai. Others really called it this name.

(This festival still exists in modern Scotland, and it is also the most traditional festival in Scotland. Others really called it this name)

That is to say, starting from December 15th, the whole Camelot will enter a carnival lasting half a month. However, for many people, these fifteen days are not easy.

As the opening time of the Knights' Conference got closer, more and more knights rushed to Camelot. This led to a surge in the flow of people in Camelot. These knights did not come alone. Even the worst of them would bring a servant, and some wealthy knights would bring more servants.

In addition, many nobles from other places would come here, and these nobles had even more followers, which led to the fact that all the hotels in Camelot were full in early December, and the knights who came later could only rent houses of some civilians or merchants.

This made the civilians in the city make a lot of money before the New Year's Eve. So many people flocked to Camelot, and of course they needed people to provide services for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. In this way, many civilians who had nothing to do in winter could earn some extra money.

Of course, in addition to boosting the economy, the influx of these outsiders also brought some bad effects. Fights in the city occurred frequently.

Most of these knights were rookies, and they came to Camelot just to make a name for themselves. → Each of them was extremely confident in themselves, and they were at an age of blood and vigor, so it was naturally impossible for them to be good babies, so friction and quarrels were very common.

Most people in this era were the kind of tough guys who would start fighting after a few words, and fighting became commonplace, and death was very common.

So this made Kai suffer. He had already replaced Arthur as the commander of the Knights of Camelot, and the security of the city was under his charge. Kai had not had a good sleep for almost half a month because of these energetic knights.

These tough guys made Camelot a mess. These guys started to make trouble after drinking a few cups of horse urine. Fights were common in public. Now the average number of abnormal deaths in Camelot is 3.5 people per day, and the cause of death is fighting.

Kai has to deal with 20 to 30 cases of fighting and injury or even death every day. Kai, a legitimate policeman, is willing to throw these bastards into the dungeon as if they were gang members. But this is BC, and the knights have privileges. Kai can't punish them. The most he can do is to subdue them and release them when they calm down.

Unless they hurt the civilians of Camelot, Kai really doesn't have any good way.

Fortunately, King Uther had issued an order long ago that no knights were allowed to duel privately before the Knights' Conference, so even if there was a fight, the knights were still restrained, and most of the unlucky people who died were squires. But Kai had no right to judge the squire's loss of life, because the squire's life belonged to the knight. Unless the knight took the initiative to ask Kai to do justice, Kai could do nothing... Those stubborn knights rarely sought justice through official channels, they preferred to do it themselves in the duel.

So before the Knights' Conference began, the gunpowder smell between the knights was already very strong, which is why the death rate of each Knights' Conference remained high. These guys didn't regard the Knights' Conference as a competition at all. They regarded the Knights' Conference as a knight duel conference. Once they were on the field, there was no such thing as holding back.

But then again, people of this era still liked this tune, and King Uther was a representative figure. He liked to see the knights fighting selflessly.

Kai actually didn't like this atmosphere, which was fundamentally different from the sports competitions of later generations. Brutal and bloody, this made Kai, a policeman who had been in the police force for so many years, very uncomfortable.

But this was the social atmosphere at that time, and Kai was powerless. He could only stop the fights as much as possible and let those hot-blooded reckless men calm down a little.

Just as Kai stopped a fight, someone sent a message over there that two nobles wanted to duel for unknown reasons. Both sides were unwilling to give in under the persuasion of the Camelot Knights and wanted Kai to be a witness.

If the knights are hot-blooded and easily get carried away, then the nobles are not much better. These people are deeply influenced by the spirit of chivalry. They don't like to find official ways to solve any problems. Instead, they are more keen to solve them with duels.

And most of the duels are caused by trivial matters.

These days, although the knight conference has not started, the knight duel field is not deserted. Every day, nobles initiate duels in the knight duel field because of some messy things.

This is hard for Kai. Not only does he have to deal with the fights one after another every day, but he also needs to run to the knight duel field to act as a witness.

There is no way, who told Kai to now have the title of the first knight of the Celtic countries. Many knights and nobles think that it is a very face-saving thing to let Kai come to witness the duel.

When Kai arrived at the duel field, he saw an acquaintance. Gwen was waiting at the door of the duel field, and when he saw Kai, he immediately ran over. Kai was very curious. She was Morgana's maid. Why didn't she stay with Morgana at this time and ran to the duel field?

"Gwen? Why are you here?"
