Chapter 394: A Lively Knight Contest

Chapter 39 390

On September 1, 1440 in the imperial calendar, the weather was fine.

As one of the most important festivals in the Empire, the Autumn Harvest Festival naturally has a special status. Even though the Governor had already led his army out at this time, the remaining officials in the Governor's Mansion still did everything in their power to make the Autumn Harvest Festival look lively and festive.

The more painful it is, the more lively the autumn harvest festival must be.

Most of the city of Rennes, with the exception of the slums, is decorated with flowers, but fortunately this year's temperature has been abnormal, which has caused problems with the flowering season.

Most of the flowers that should have withered were still in full bloom at this time, finally meeting the expectations of the officials. The whole city of Rennes seems to have become a city of flowers, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers wherever you go.

Not only that, in addition to the traditional projects that must be included in the autumn harvest festival in previous years, the Governor's Palace also invited many famous Britannian troupes to perform in Rennes, relying on the face of Governor Allen, and even many famous theater troupes from outside the province also came to Rennes.

In addition to the official arrangement, the residents of Rennes also arranged their own activities, singing and dancing.

It is foreseeable that during the entire Autumn Harvest Festival, Wren must have been in a state of laughter and laughter - after all, it was a grand event of hundreds of thousands of people, and the officials certainly knew that doing so would put a lot of economic pressure on Wren. But whether it was the dragon beast siege a few days ago or the Norman invasion these days, it was like a dark cloud hanging over the hearts of everyone in Rennes.

The larger the city, the more attention to detail is required. Often if you are not careful, you may make a big mess. Wren is Governor Allen's lair and will never allow any omissions. No one knows what will happen if we don't take advantage of the autumn harvest festival to soothe the nervousness of the residents.

Compared to the stability of the hearts of the people of Wren, the cost of those gold coins is really nothing.

Sleep-deprived Sinloth looked up and yawned heavily at the sky. Although because of sexual magic, the Earl's physical strength and magic were actually at their peak at this time. But for some reason that everyone knows, the Count, who has been making a fuss all night, always feels a little in good spirits.

Of course, a certain lady was not much better.

So on such a big day as the Autumn Harvest Festival, Fan Zhuo and his wife sat in their own seats, leaning on each other and dozing off. When Ellie saw that her cheap parents were like this, the little girl, who was already listless, hurriedly leaned on her father's shoulder and narrowed her eyes.

On the contrary, Nanoka, a little girl who likes to stay up late, is full of energy, seeing that her unreliable parents and sister are dozing off on such an important holiday, her anxious red ponytail is constantly shaking, and her little hands are constantly pinching her stupid father's waist.

"Dad, wake up, the ceremony is about to begin, and many people are watching ......"

“…… It's okay, I'll squint a little bit......"

Just as Nanoka was about to die, the nobles, who had been a little noisy, suddenly fell silent. The little girl looked back, but found that she didn't know when, the ceremony of the autumn harvest festival had officially begun.

Bishop Alain, dressed in new clothes, held the utensils handed down by the saints, and his face was extremely solemn. Two teams of black-clad priests lined up on either side of him, sprinkling flowers and holy water on the worshippers who were worshipping on both sides.

Because of the large population in Rennes, the autumn harvest festival has always been held in the central square. At this time, a tall temporary altar had already been built in the central square, and the nobles were in the back row according to their titles and status. Then there are those citizens who have some status, as well as civilians...... And the last of the Dalits.

As the fiefdom earl, Sinloth could not sit at the front of the crowd like William and Louie, but he also sat at the front of the line. The aristocracy saw such a thing as dozing off at the Autumn Harvest Festival - after all, everyone was not a child, and they were really not too interested in the ritual that was to be performed once a year. While everyone was almost bored, Sinloth wasn't the only one dozing off.

But if the clergy saw it and wanted to deliberately embarrass Sinloth...... That may be another big trouble.

Nanorka, who had a heavy sense of responsibility, saw that her father had always been listless, and she couldn't care too much, so she stepped directly on the earl's boots.

"Hiss......"

Nanoka accidentally used all her strength, and Cynlos was caught off guard and instantly gasped. He grabbed his left foot and jumped straight up.

"Nanorka, what are you doing?! It hurts. ”

Originally, the Earl was not very conspicuous when he dozed off in the crowd, but now that Sinloth moved like this, he instantly became the target of public criticism. Feeling the stares coming from all directions, the sleeping Earl seemed to realize the problem, and he sneered, tried to make his body look smaller, and slowly sat back in his seat.

Nanoka covered her face, not daring to look at her father's embarrassment.

It's over, and there's no face to see people.

……

Madame Rosa once again succeeded in suppressing Christina, who wanted to make a fuss, in her seat, and Madame looked at the well-behaved and obedient Nanorca, and then at the stupid girl next to her who could only make trouble, and suddenly felt sad.

"Ahh

……

Sinloth's abrupt behavior naturally attracted the attention of the other nobles, but no one dared to speak out loud when the ritual was about to begin. Unlike Nanorka's imagination, there was a slight commotion in the crowd, and it quickly fell silent.

The blonde boy looked at the man in the distance who kept apologizing to his daughter who was covering his face, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"This man is ......"

"Your Highness?"

The blonde-haired guard beside him asked softly, for some reason. The blonde boy woke up like a dream, and he quickly looked away and changed the subject: "How is Lane's injury?" ”

"After Kevin's treatment, the wound has begun to heal, and with his physique, he should be able to walk on the ground in a few days."

"That's good." The blonde young man sighed and scratched his head: "Britannia is very xenophobic here, and there has been no progress in the past few days...... Forget it, Governor Allen's side won't force it. After this autumn harvest festival, let's go to Shinra next...... I hope Sister Shanaiduo won't ......"

The blonde youth was silent, acquiescing to His Royal Highness's proposal. As he said, in terms of external affairs, the Britannians seem to have some kind of strange tacit understanding, and no matter how much they knock on the side these days, the gap has not been opened among the great nobles.

That's a bad sign.

……

When the day was in the middle of the sky, the smelly and long ceremony finally ended with the cheers of the crowd. Bishop Alain, having completed the ceremony, slowly stepped down from the altar and walked towards the cathedral surrounded by devout believers.

And the suffering of the two unlucky guys, Louie and William, was far from over, and the nobles who had finally waited for the ceremony to end got up and surrounded several big men - these two guys, of course, are now among the so-called big guys.

Sinloth yawned again and stood up from his seat.

He pinched the sleepy Ellie's bun face, grabbed Nanoka's little hand again, and said to Mariana with a thick smile on his face: "Okay, finally liberated, let's go shopping together." ”

"Hmm."

Mariana smiled and agreed, but didn't seem to be in high spirits. Last night's exertion was one thing, but more of it was physical exhaustion - she was almost seven months pregnant, after all.

Let's go back after a few turns, and if the children want to be lively, let Claude take them to see it.

In an instant, Sinloth made up his mind, let go of his outstretched hand, grabbed his wife's hand, and interlocked his fingers towards the periphery of the square.

Seeing the old man come out, he had been waiting on the periphery of the square and hurriedly drove the carriage to meet him. Sinloth preferred a leisurely walk to a carriage, but now Mariana's situation did not allow him to be willful. After putting his wife and children in the carriage, Sinlos also sat in the carriage.

"Sir, where are we going?"

"Find a few places with fewer people, just turn around a few times and go back to the manor."

In the past, when he was on Earth, Sinloth also participated in various activities. Limited to the productivity at this time, the various activities of the Autumn Harvest Festival are actually the same for Sinlos.

He still prefers to stay at home with his wife instead of dragging his family around—and Tirpitz, the situation of the queen of the north is a bit special, and in order to avoid trouble, she really can't be seen in crowded places often.

Perhaps even Sinloth himself realized that his thoughts at this time had changed subtly and fatally compared to when he first crossed over.

"Just go back?" As a qualified housekeeper, in addition to perfectly carrying out the master's orders, he must also put forward his own opinions for the master in a timely manner: "Maybe it would be better to let the young lady participate more." ”

Cynroth touched his chin with some distress, understanding what Claude meant.

Just like the purpose of his first visit to Wren, it was all by the way to break into the aristocratic circles or something, mainly to let Ellie's stupid girl come to see the world - Nanoka was clearly bent on becoming a tech nerd, and Assasin seemed to like being a god.

So...... This is already the best result.

Xinluo thought for a moment, pinched the eldest daughter's fleshy bun face, and asked her daughter gently before she stretched out her little paw to scratch him, "Then my daughter, do you want to go to those activities?" ”

Everything is the same, whether it is a knight competition, a dance conference, an art festival...... No matter what, whenever you can improve your own reputation and your family's reputation, as a descendant of a nobleman, you must try to participate.

This is the responsibility of the eldest daughter, and it is also the duty of the eldest daughter.

Xinluo didn't like to force Ellie too much before, but as her daughter grew up, some things always had to be left to her alone.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Ellie doesn't want to go, Xinluo doesn't force it - the intellectual daughter Mo Ruo's father, with this stupid girl's force value, dance level and art appreciation ability......

Ellie stared at her dad blankly, not knowing what he meant. Just as the girl was in a daze, she suddenly felt a biting cold coming from behind her, as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake that had been dormant for a long time. Ellie shuddered, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

But because of the obscenity of a bad woman, he hurriedly said to his father.

"Knight Tournament, Ellie wants to participate in the Knight Tournament!"

“……”

This is the last thing I want you to participate in, although the knight tournament has always had no age limit, and it will try to separate opponents who are too different in strength. But Ellie's words......

Sure enough, after there were more wooden knights in the castle, was Ellie also imperceptibly affected?

Forget it, since it's Ellie's own idea.

Sinloth wanted to say that with her less than five combat power, it was better to give up. But on second thought, the Count didn't force it—she was the one who cried anyway.

"Claude, let's not rush back first, let's go to the knight competition first."

"Your will."

In the void, the half-snake creature with its hidden body clasped its hands on its chest and yawned widely.
