"In this rose garden

Heaven and earth are connected,

What a miracle."

The bard gently plucked the ponytail, lyrically and slowly sang the ballad passed down from ancient times, the melodious and crisp sound of the piano, and the beautiful melody attracted many passers-by to stop and admire. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the bard's side was a strangely dressed clown, with three horns on his head, each of which was decorated in different colors, and his face was smeared with strange paint, and this clown was walking on stilts and throwing three apples, and he was constantly making all kinds of thrilling movements, which caused a burst of exclamation from the crowd from time to time.

And in the more remote corners, there may be gypsy witches in black robes and stooping, who take advantage of the absence to hold you by the sleeve and lead you into the alley, where they can take advantage of the future for you if they are willing to pay a small copper coin. Or if you're willing to spend a little more, a silver coin or two, and a younger gypsy girl will come out to spend the spring with you.

And on the streets, far more lively than that, people holding huge crosses symbolizing the crucifixion of Jesus and manger symbolizing the birth of Jesus are singing and dancing in the streets, singing hymns in praise of Jesus, and feasting day and night.

This is the scene of the New Year.

It is now December, the month of the Son's coming.

During this month, kings, nobles, and peasants can enjoy the joy of the world. Wandering gypsies, bards from afar, or circuses began to set up stages and play music in the heart of bustling towns.

During this festive month, ordinary farmers decorate their homes with evergreen branches and leaves such as pine branches, holly and ivy, and some go to the church square in the center of town to help build a manger to commemorate the birth of Jesus and a dance hall for miracle plays.

Moreover, the grain had been harvested and husked, the sacraments had been almost done, the winter wheat had been sown on the newly divided land of the serfs, and the peasants' third and final ploughing of the fallow land had ended, and the hard work of the year had come to an end. With enough timber, wheat straw and peat to survive the winter, and the animals slaughtered in November already turned into bacon to eat, what reason could there be to stop the annual joy of the peasants, who had been tired all year long?

What's more, this is just the beginning of a series of revelries, the last three days of Christmas are the Apostle John's Day, St. Stefan's Day, and the Martyrdom of All Saints, two of which are "bloody" festivals that commemorate the slaughtered martyrs, but people are still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year. January 6 is also the feast of the Epiphany (also known as the feast of the Three Kings), followed by Easter, Ascension, one after the other, as if the festivals of the year were all over these two months.

And during these festivals, there will also be miracle plays, usually teams of extras from neighboring and local villages, who will perform biblical stories led by priests - the nativity and the crucifixion and resurrection are of course obligatory, as well as the stories of the Twelve Saints, the stories of St. John, these sacred, thrilling, or heroic plays that the peasants will always remember for a while.

In fact, the parade of nobles on Christmas Eve is really the most exciting, every time at this time, the nobles who usually live in the palace or castle will appear in the town collectively, the nobles are dressed in gorgeous clothes and brocade robes, and the knights perform their duties, or hold the flag to open the way, or carry the sword to accompany them, forming a costumed team, surrounding the whole city, so lively scene!

In short, from December to the end of January, these two months are two months of drunkenness in the European world, and the whole of Europe will spend it in a state of drunkenness and joy.

Even Desmond, who was so poor that he couldn't eat in the past, was the happiest time, not to mention that this year, everyone had surplus food in their hands for a bumper harvest, so when would they take advantage of the carnival now?

Moreover, the New Year is followed by Ashday, the beginning of Lent and the end of Easter, and except on Sunday, Christians are not allowed to have sexual intercourse, drink alcohol, eat meat or have other entertainment, which is the most disgusting time.

Therefore, this year's carnival was held in a particularly grand way, with bakers baking a large amount of real white bread without any 'ingredients', vowing to take back the customers from the pastamen, and the up-and-coming noodle chefs were not to be outdone, they even cooked a large number of noodles of different flavors, cooked them in large pots, and then delivered them to the street for free, so that passers-by could eat to their heart's content.

In addition, there was the opening of inns, which had been abandoned for many years due to the large number of merchants staying in Desmond, and beer, mead, and ale, which had been unaffordable and invisible in the past, were now being moved out barrels and offered to passers-by for free - just as the ancient rice shops opened to give away rice for free, in order to make a name for themselves.

However, even when it comes to carnivals, there are always bad things happening, just as hundreds of years later their descendants will get drunk and play in the streets, and the Europeans in the Middle Ages were no better, although they could not play in the open air, but they could fight, just like the football hooligans in England, it was really a headache.

"You bastards! Hurry up and stop me! ”

At that time, when the little Count Tang arrived, he saw such a scene, two drunks waving their fists at each other in the middle of the street, and thankfully, they were drunk and forgot that they still had a small sharp knife on their bodies, so that no one died.

And looking to the side, the crowd around not only did not mean to fight, but watched the two drunk men fight with great interest, every time one of them gave a heavy and heavy fist to the opposite side, the onlookers seemed to see something very good, "Okay, another one!" Such words are endless.

"You two, go and pull the two who are fighting apart, and the others go and blow up the people around you, it's just a fight, what's there to see."

Little Count Tang held his forehead and said to the knight beside him, but unfortunately as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud roar from the knight of Alcobar next to him: "Good!"

"Okay, you big-headed ghost! Go and separate those two! ”

Count Don Jr. flew into a rage, forcibly suppressed the thought of punching the knight in the face of the Ocoba knight - mainly eighty percent could not beat it, and then said so.

However, he was greeted by the innocent eyes of the knight of Alcoba: "Lord Earl, I think the man on the right has played very well!" That punch is really powerful, such a person should be included in the army, he is a material that can be made! ”

“……”

Count Don Jr. was silent!

However, this is related to the national character of the Saxons, who advocate force and love violence, and if two people have a quarrel, then in the end the eight achievements are solved by fighting, and whoever wins is right.

Of course, in the end, it must be the Count of Don who is the strongest, so these two people were forcibly separated by the knights, and then thrown into the makeshift cell one by one - there were too many people fighting, and there were not enough dungeons in the original castle, so they had to replace the cells with the empty wooden rooms of the students!

"Am I going to build a gladiatorial arena like Rome and let these guys vent their excess energy?"

At that time, Count Xiao Tang saw that the cell was getting fuller and fuller, and he thought helplessly: "Okay, from another point of view, use them as soldiers, and pour a bottle of wine on everyone before the war, at least don't worry about the lack of morale of these guys."

―――――――――― Episode: The Grand Duke's Revenge (End)――――――――――

The battle is over.

There is no doubt that the combined forces of the Grand Duke of Murchid and the Duke of Ed were victorious.

Munster has welcomed back its true master, but its people may not think so, and the people of Limerick are in bad luck when the Grand Duke returns!

First of all, in order to purge the Grand Prince Murchertčeh, the Grand Duke launched a large-scale campaign to purge dissidents, and all those who had a small fortune, whether merchants or peasant households, or former elders, were all raided and deprived of their status as freemen - of course, this had nothing to do with the greater poor people, but from the plundering of the soldiers, it was closely related to them.

The arson snatched Duke Ed's men, and the arson snatched was also Duke Ed's meaning, anyway, it wasn't his Bijeforne here, he robbed it, and besides, he was the winner! Winner! If the winner doesn't grab something, is it still called a winner?

But the Grand Duke of Murchid had nothing to do, and he was mentally prepared to let someone else's army help him recover the territory, and some of the necessary efforts were worth it.

As for the life and death of the lowest peasants, as long as they did not rebel, the Grand Duke, who was a traditional nobleman, would not be able to see it!

And, Archduke Murchid, he had another plan, in which he would always gain something from whatever he did, and whoever he fell towards, as long as he was willing to lose some of his cheeks and decency.

As for cheekiness and temperament, does the Grand Duke really have these things?
