Chapter 0072: The Earl Visits Flower Town
The Earl's convoy appeared at Thorn Ridge at about ten o'clock in the morning.
Having learned the lesson of the last time the convoy arrived, it was spotted only to be spotted not far from the castle, and the patrol wandered the Thorn Ridge road early.
Today, a large number of trees have been cut down on both sides of the road.
The logs hadn't been removed yet, they were all laid out in place, looking like they had been laid out on the floor. This undoubtedly provides a very good view for humans and reduces the risk of Warcraft invasion. However, this is not the end of the wood, the logging work is still not completed, and in addition, Liszt is also preparing to build two guardrails to cut off the route of the monster.
Although the guardrail made of wood has zero effect on the forbidden beast, the warcraft is still the brain of the beast, and when it sees a guardrail blocking it, it is very likely that it will turn around instead of destroying the guardrail.
There is a notification from the patrol.
Liszt took Galtai and the others to meet this huge procession - only five carriages, but a whole group of knights.
Neat and well-armed, this team of knights was originally to follow the Count on his conquests on the mainland.
There were many knights who were canonized as nobles because of their military exploits, and went to the fiefdom to enjoy the good life of the rentier class, and then another group of novices from the knight academy were added.
Maintaining the integrity of the Order.
The Count did not ride in a carriage, he rode on his beloved leopard horse, and did not even wear a festive attire, but an armored military uniform, which Liszt thought he had deliberately weared, to avoid wearing the furak Abière, especially the disc-like Raf.
In the summer, Raff is not so friendly to people.
No one likes to wear a scarf in the summer.
"Father, Liszt sends you a festive greeting. "The aristocratic etiquette that should be there still needs to be implemented.
"Happy holidays. After William Li responded, he looked at the castle not far away and sighed with a little emotion, "It's been more than ten years, and this small castle still hasn't changed much...... Don't say hello and go straight to the castle, it's too hot outside, and your grandmother needs to cool off early. ”
"Good. Liszt is leading the way.
A moment later, the convoy stopped at the gate of the castle, and all the servants, led by Carter, stood left and right to greet the distinguished guests.
Galtai stepped forward very exaggeratedly: "Lord Earl, I am so excited to see you Galtai! Your demeanor is even worse than a few months ago, even if my fighting spirit has weakened, I can still feel the strong pressure emanating from you, the pressure from the Sky Knight!"
William Li enjoyed this kind of sycophant very much, and said with a smile: "Galtai, your face is more ruddy, is life in Flower Town okay?"
Only then did Galtai shake his clothes and bow deeply: "Galtai presents you with holiday greetings, life in Flower Town is vibrant, and I enjoy my work here." ”
As he spoke, Mrs. Penelope's voice was already heard behind him: "The dust is so heavy on the way, I need water to clean up, and going out is like going through a nightmare, and I have to go on hard to end it." ”
"Grandmother, Liszt sends you a festive greeting. ”
"Happy holidays. Mrs. Penelope, supported by her valet, went into the castle and looked at her for a few moments, "It is hard for you to live in the country and suffer such an embarrassing life...... The only thing to envy is probably the smell of this small house, which smells of country earth. ”
As she spoke, she added: "More comfortable than the smell of the tulip castle." ”
"Comfortable, you might as well stay here longer. ”
"That's not good, my flower servants don't know how to take care of them, and I'll go crazy if I don't see them for a day. ”
Behind Mrs. Penelope was a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels, with a tall lady's hat covered with a variety of feathers - originally called the Lady Bird Hat, whose feathers symbolized the "sky" and could only be worn by the wife of the Sky Knight.
Later, it became a popular trend, and all aristocratic women would wear all kinds of exaggerated and bizarre hats during the festival.
In addition to the conspicuous hat, the woman also has the smell of a vixen – especially her eyes. Liszt inherited the memory of his predecessor and was most impressed by these eyes.
Liszt at that time.
I always feel that these eyes are secretly observing anytime and anywhere, but they are silent. But when I laugh, I have the sweet taste of the girl next door.
And now Liszt, when he sees these eyes again, can easily conclude that they are a pair of fox eyes.
It is slightly narrow, the corners of the eyes are raised, and the smile will be curved into a crescent moon.
"Madame, Liszt sends you a festive greeting. With a faint smile on his face, he routinely displayed the impeccable etiquette of the aristocracy, and even if he was disgusted, his expression was still only as cordial as a spring breeze.
"Happy holidays, Liszt, you are taller. The middle-aged woman smiled back, she was the current Countess, Marie Lowa.
In her hand, she also pulled a very immature teenager.
The young man was obviously dismissive of the environment of the castle, and reluctantly hung a little superficial respect, and showed courtesy: "Brother Liszt, Litton offers you a holiday greeting. ”
"Happy holidays. ”
Liszt replied lightly, and continued to say to Madame Mary, "Madame, please take Litton to rest in the castle first, and I will go and greet my brother, sister, and Sir Layden." ”
It's not the first time Levi and Vera Lee have come to Flower Town.
So after greeting each other with happy holidays, and entering the castle, Liszt greeted the nobles who came with the convoy in turn—these nobles were all minor nobles who held positions in the Tulip Castle, the Lord Knights, and there was also a baron, the knight captain of the Tulip Castle, Mikey.
The head of the Coral Island Knights is William Li himself, and Mikey, the captain, is responsible for the training of the Knights and the safety of the Tulip Castle in peacetime, and is the actual leader.
The courtesy is over.
The castle is even more lively.
Because there were so many people coming, there were a lot of nobles upstairs, and even more knights downstairs, and fifteen servants were not enough at all. Fortunately, the Count and his party also brought a lot of servants with them, and a lot of ingredients and drinks—probably they also understood that there was nothing in the countryside.
Quandang came here for a picnic.
Carter, as the butler, is naturally the commander of all the servants, even if among the people who come, there is Silva, the deputy butler of Tulip Castle.
"Carter, if there isn't enough food in the castle, don't bother, the lord has brought enough food from the Tulip Castle to eat for a few days. "Silva is younger than Carter, dressed in a tuxedo just right, and standing among the servants, he looks like a noble nobleman.
Carter used to be just the butler of the castle in the annex.
When you get along with Silva, the assistant butler, you need to follow the other party's commands.
But now.
He represented Liszt.
So I couldn't help but puff up my chest and make myself look more energetic: "Thank you Lord Earl for your thoughtfulness, but even without the food of Tulip Castle, the town can still provide a variety of food." We've got a feast ready, Mr. Silva, and I'll leave it to me. ”
